Rollman, of Baltimore, over the aorth weat and northeast branches of the Cape Fear River, for the purpose of connecting all railway linea centreing here, are completed, and the first train, with a large party of excur? sionists, passed over to-day. The completion of this great work greatly facilitates travel, enabling passengers and freight to go through without delay. The entire connection is now complete, except a mile and-a-half of branch track on the Wilmington and Manchester Road, which will be finished in about ten days. This makes the Wilmington and Weldon, Wilming? ton and Manchester, and Wilmington, Char? lotte and Rutherford Railways almost one road, and marks a new era in the history ot this city. EUROPE.

LONDON, August 28.-The Times, comment ing tm the race, says: "The Americans' in feriority was in steering, bot not enough to account for the distance.

Glover was slightly damaged. The Young Amerieaa be? haved splendidly. The country around Orangeburg has been refreshed by repeated showers of rain, whioh we hope will bring the rice crop ont. The flue rains which have fallen in B tm well this, week will be of considerable benefit to all yoong cotton and increase the top fruit, which woola not have amounted to much if the drought had continued. Mrs. Susan Davenport, of Laurens, died on the 22d inst. MODERN STATESMEN.-Congressman C. C. Bowen is dubbed by THE CHARLESTON NEWS "the wickedest man in Congress.''

Let na know il all.-Letncisler Ledger. _ -The London Star, in an ar tide on the re? jection of tba American treaty by China, shows that the treaty secured substantial advantages for the Chinese, while America disclaimed any interference with their interns i administration. It cannot be supposed that the Pekin govern? ment is dissatisfied with the convention. Bet that a weak government sh mid yield to the pressure of Minister BurliaiTame's enemies, who represent to it that the xmvention is at variance with the traditions .of the country, ia not surprising*, lt now remains to be aeon whether Mr. Burlingame or Mr. Browne re? flects the mind ant! purpose of President Grant. The Standard thinks tbat the Chinese, in refusing to endorse the agreement, show they are not animated by the impulses which Mr. Burlingame declared they possessed, and hopes their action will lead him to abandon functions which secure neither honor for him? self nor benefit for the world at large. v t-The widow of Heinrich Heine, the celebra ted German poet, baa recently married a French captain of dragoons. POLITICS XY THE STATE. CONSERVATIVE BE PUBLIC A-N ISM. IN 80UTH CAROLINA. What the Pren Say and tia? People Think The advantage* and disadvantages of a con? servative or liberal Republican movement in Sooth Carolina, pin) il ar to the Walker move meat in Virginia and the Seo ter movement in Tennessee, are now thoughtfully discussed by the press of tbe State. The extracts which we make from tbe leadiug articles m the different papers show the way'that the current of feel? ing is BOW setting, and prove that at present publie sentiment is opposed to having any third parly* Two parties are thought to be enough, and as the State elections do not take place until the tall of 1870, it_ is the general opinion that there is no pressing need of pub? lic organization for political purposes. A LIBERAL DXXOOBAOT. The Columbia Phoenix thinks that "a liberal Democracy" is the party f jr the sober class. It says: Now, if a third party were demanded by the exigencies of the times here, we are free to say that such party would not be the "Conservative Republican part j. To say no more, that party is said to be based upon Grant's policy, when Grant is well known to have no policy. Another point-that party in Virginia and Ten? nessee, which was the Democracy stooping to conquer, is a party for time and not for eterni? ty; that is, a party formed to win a victory and not to hold a citad;!. Therefore, the policy of the- Winnsboro Mews will not answer. How, then; shall we recognize and make the most of the liberal spirit to which we have referred to ? A liberal Democrat ourselves-a progressive Democrat always-we answer, by liberalizing Democracy, and a libaral Democracy now is i that of South Carolina. Here, then, is a party j for that "sober class" which the Winnsboro', News claims to represent. Whv look ont for ' another? Ic is proposed to raise a standard 1 and bring reasonable men under it. What bet- < ter standard at this time than that of the lib- I aral Democrat ? < A ViaOBOTJS BLOW FBOM CHESTERFIELD. The Chesterfield Democrat is not ready to agree with the Orangebarg Newa that the Democratic journals of the State should come | mt in favor of Conservative Republicanism. c [t says: c The whole party, whether Radical or Con lervative, is tainted with conniption, and la? boring for the overthrow ot all that is worth ? ireservation in thia corrupt and degraded gov- . jrnment. It ie argued that tbe name of Demo- 1 sat should bo abandoned, Leca use it excites t he opposition of the negro '.nd tho masses at j ihe Nor t h. That is in fact '. he only reason for retaining it. Ihe name, so Zar as i tis designed tl ?o indicate the political views which the party , mids, is altogether worthless, inasmuch as ' ?3 Democratic party has entirely abandoned J ts original distinctive doctrines, bnt it is yet * rae pest ? ve of opposition to the role of Africans ? md Yankees. All that gives it a preference in rar mind, is the very fact that it has taken itronger ground than any other party against p :he surrender of the government to ignorance ? md vice. If we were not compelled to live inder tbe government, we would not' care for lither party; bnt this seems to contend more fc larnedtly against the oppressions which the ' nsane idea of providing extraordinary privi- r eges and immunities for the African and the arpe t-bagger has brought about, and, there- j; ore, we put ourselves nuder its banner. " tis rights and duties, and we have BJ mp a- n hised with him in the difficulties of bis posi km; bnt having scornfully and insolen.ly re acted these kind offices from th.se be knew o be honest and reliable, and cast himself a ato tbe arms of those he bad fonod to be de- Q rgning enemies to him as well as to bis sec ion, we have no farther regard for his politi- w' ?1 future. , ? Aa for the masses at tbe North, we shall lever shape our course to catch their good ?pinion. If they have such a detestation for j. he name of Democrat it will enly make ns ike it the more, for there must be something fi ;ood about it, whether w) can perceive it or ?. jot, if such men as Grant and Sherman and ? Sutler represent are hostile to it. If wo have io hope of relief from our present "situation" mt from tbe negro and tbe Yankee, we may ? is well give it up and prepare for the worst. ? THE TAX QUESTION'. il The Barnwell Journal, a capital p-per pub- t ished at Blackville, thinks that taxation will 8 ie the absorbing question. It says: A majority of the but Legislature bad no in erest in the lands of thia State. They could * ?asily pass a tax bill, for. however oppressive f ts provisions, t bey well knew that it would not naterialiy concern them, as they had but little o tax. Now, the people will Bee to it, that, at t be next election, another set of legislators ' mall be chosen, composed of merciful and f -easonable men. ibis will lv> tbe great ques :ion in the next election, and the candidate ? who pledges himself to labor for an abatement fl if taxes will snre'iy be elected. THE COMPBOSOBE OF PA BITES. c The Orangeburg News comments in Ibis wise o ipon an article of THE CHARLESTON NEWS : jj TEE NEWS agrees with ns as to a compro- c oise, but says that our idea of a union between t he respectable men of botb parties in the j ?tate upon the basis of the success and ii re- f ireeaible power of tbe Republican party, "is n ihrewdly conceived, bot Mahomet must come { o tbe mountain, for the mountain will not go .o Mahomet." Now the question is, which is Mahomet and irhich the mountain. Truly the Democratic >arty, witb its superstitious devotion to faded i uopes and protest against settled issues, is veil typified by the great father of pagan superstition; while the Republican party, the jmbodiment of ideas which govern the world, the great lever of political progress, may well De compared to the mountain, whose mighty shadow stretches over this vast continent, and ?owen above its pigmy opponents. e THE NEWS says that the colored voters of T, ihe State will never vote with this Conserva- . cive party. We ask whether, they will ever 1 rote a Democratic ticket? They have already R tbrouehout the State, in the township elec- j lions, united with the whites in eleoting a ?ompromise ticket. Tho respectable colored ' men are alike disgusted with Radical corrup? tion and deception, but to Republican tri- ? um ph s they owe the priceless boons of their I freedom and theil suffrage. Will they, we ask, c aver vote with a party whose prejudices are r oppos d to both these boons, and who see, in c tbe delusive prospectivo of their own wishes, r tbe time when they shall be dcpiived of < them? a No I a compromise upon this Republican t basis is tho only feasible and hopeful one. t Duch a compromise is no "shrewd ly conceived" idea of ours, bnt its experiment has been a sue- y Bess m Virginia, in Tennessee, and it ie the ruling party in North Carolina and Mississippi. * THE NEWS asks us "to pause and think what ibis name. Republicanism, means in the ears i sf every Carolinian." It is. it says, "identified I with every insult put upon our people by the t nailed band of authority; with every wrong we c aa ve been forced to ondure; witb our every dis- J appointed hope; with every blackened home, i md devastated field; with every sorrowing ? laughter and every martyred eon." Here our I contemporary mistakes parlies again, lt ia DUT Democratic resistance to an irresistible t Tate that is identified with our melancholy oe- t Teat and its train ot disasters and humiliation, t To this old party, with its Quixotic valor and a delusive hopes, do we owe all our losses, our 1 rama, our graves. THE NEWS asks us to leave 1 i/or position, and ally with the party, whose i prestige is failure, and whose fate is dieap- i pointmeut. No I the reaction in the minds of our people, after the woful and complete over- t throw of the Democratic party, last fall, was f too deep to be removed by this the "old story" t of its supporters, c With all chanty for THE CHABLESTO?T NEWS, are see no hope for its cherished party. We i See no hope for the redemption of eur State s from the vandal horde who prey upon ber 1 heart by Democratic effort. I This Dnii?n-loving American people will \ light, win legislate down that party again, the ? colored people will as a solid unit oppose it. It cannot live afrain m the South. We say again, the Conservative Republican party has redeemed oar sister States, and, supported by her gallant sons who owe this duty to their stricken mother, this party can | redeem South Carolina. TEE DOWNFALL OF RADICALISM. The Barnwell Sentinel bas an article on an? tagonism ot race, in which it says: Every day develops the fact more and more apparently-developes the fact, long ago made manifest by all history and experience, that two distinct and separate races cannot live harmoniously together as social and political equals. It is only where one race is supreme? ly dominant, and the other io the state of sub? jection, tbat two races, aa diametrically oppo? site as the white and the black race, can live in any sort of peaoe or quiet. Any attempt, by moral or physical force; to cause an amalga? mation of ideas, interests, or feelings, must constantly prove abortive and unavailing. In another article it predicts the speedy downfall of Radicalism, thus : All the tinkering on earth will not serve to keeD together the rotten elements of which Radicalism is composed. Its fate is written in a thousand histories. It is written in char? acters of blood in the annals of France, as it was similarly written before in those of Eng? land. It is written in Hay ti and Jamaica, and in all the countries ot South America; and some .day, before long, it will have its own his? tory here, to be added to the many already ex? isting, which shall serve to instruct future ages on the great folly of building pyramide on the inverted plan. Therefore, we say to Daddy Cain and all the other daddies now in power, carpe diem; which, for their enlighten? ment we will tell them, means "make bay while the sun shines." For "there's a happy time a comme,'' when all thia revolting' tyran? ny, all this plundering and proscription of tbe "Sons of God" shall have an end; and all, we believe and hope, without serious detriment to toffee himself, or the good old State of South Carolina. WATCH AND WATT. The Abbeville Press sees no need for haste, tt says: Why enter into an active political contest at jreseot when twelve months are yet to elapse >efore elections come off here, which will pr?? tent any political issues to be determined by mr people. In that time it will be determine 1 vhether old party linea are to be obliterated, md we are to fight nuder a new Conservative ?oner or under tb? old Democratic flag. Our toarse here ?B to be de ter OJ i qed by the pro? gress of events elsewhere. Between Democra? cy and Conservative Republicanism we may be breed to choos?; but the time for making a de liaion has not yet arisen. In this State we have little to gain by a oom? iromise of time-honored principles. Let us ?ide our time, and we may yet achieve a Dem? ocratic victory under the old Democratic ban ler. THE FEELING Ut FAIRFIELD. A citizen of Winnsboro', of high character nd standing, sends an enorgetic protest to he Columbia Phoenix against the "third par y" movement, supporte J by the Wionah jro' J lews. He says: And, first, let me declare my firm belief that be position assumed by the News meets with ttle sympathy in the district, and docs not re reeent the sentiments of onr people. We aro ll, I believe, prepared to rrakeauy sacrifice, onsistent with decency and, honor, to compass ne much desired end of delivering our Slate rom tbe beaks and talons of the vultures now reying upon her vitals; but we are not yet onvinced that policy demands the formation t ' a "Conservative Republican" party in our lidst. .. . . I rejoice to see with how little favor our edi ar has met in this new scheme, and I must onfess that I believe everything possible can e accomplished under the old organization, rovided every man lend himself with all his light to the good work. At the same time. I i L no t, like som e of QI V olea rer-si eb tod friends, ie negro Legislature, is to be cleansed" adical majority. Nor can I read ia the signs round me any indications of a division ot the egro Radical vote. Since the last general lections, there have been no issues to call forth display of hands; but for all that thc gulf j s ot tue less fixed and yawning between the two aces, and auy moment may bring a cause .hich will sweep away the deceptive veil which ides it. Tben, too, we must place in thc bal nce against us the demoralization of our own copie, or of that weaker portion to whom de sat is fatal, who think the lazy tranquillity of ppression preferable to the trcuble and sacri ice of manly struggles against it, and who, ?ginning with finding that "things are not so ad after all," end by fawning like beaten curs, nd licking the plundering hands of our op iresson. With them our cause is not safe; nd, in a new iesue, it is more likely that they rill desert to the other side, than that the rui? ng party will be diminished by the desertion o ns of any considerable portion of their trength. THE THIRD PARTI* MOVEMENT. The Winnsboro' News still harps on the 'third party" string, and this time speaks ilainly. It says: The right of negroes to vote and hol I office re consider as one of these things tbat must ie at once and not too tardily conceded. If it ?roves an intolerable incubus, lt will doubtless ie hereafter thrown off. But this much Radi? al ure we must use, in-a^per to checkmate the egialativo corruption, which threatens, so long s we give Radicalism the majority by refusing o use it, to inflict upon us evils almost incal ulable. Concede this much and the prejudice if the race no longer being the only motivc iower, we may control a majority io the State. ?he interests involved are too great not to eu ourage us to make the trial. Even if the att? empt fails, nothing will have been lost, tor the pague written in the color of white mon's skin, he true reform league, will still continue an inbroken organization destined to triumph in he end. THE LANCASTER ROBBERY. [OW A RADICAL POSTMASTER ROBBED THE HAILS. b -arther and Spicier Particulars. In THE NEWS of Friday was published a gon ral account of the detection and flight of J. H. V*. Cousart, the Radical Postmaster at Lock? er Courthouse, who had been euspoctod of for erv and robbing the mails. Tue Lancaster jedger gives some additional particulars, rhich we now print: For some time past the people have regarded he conduct of J. H. W. Cousart, tue po.- tin us? er at this place, with suspicion. Our auspi ion was first aroused from the fact that after epeated efforts we could receive no answer to ?ur business letters, many of which answers io doubt ooutained money and checks. Since .'ousart'n arrest, it turns out that between six nd eight hundred dollars have been lost, brough registered and other letters during he past two months. . Ihe evidence elicited on the trial has already ieen laid before our readerj. Tho Lsd-ror con innes. After hie airest by Constable T. S. Riddle, aessemters were dispatched by the prisoner to lis white Radical friends to go ou his bond, tut they all refused, and he was consequently ommitted to jail, with the assurance, however, rom his brother, R. W. Cousart, who is a nagtstrate under Scott's appointment, that ho muid have bim set at liberty in less than one lour. The low cunning was immediately brought 0 pl ty upon Charles Jones, a negro macis rate, and he was induced to sign a reioase vithout taking any bond whatever-ho being ?sured by R. W. Cousart that he (Uonuart) tad taken the bond and that it was all right. The negro magistrate discovered on the tollo w og morn rn? that he had been duped, aud that io bond bad been given. AB soon as J. H. W. Cousart, the postmas cr, gained terra firma, he made traf:KS lor -arts uoknown. but it is supposed he ?B now in ;olumbia seeking the protection of bis friends, ir informing bis accomplice of his misfortune. What say those now who used their influence n turning out a worthy and efficient officer, md filling the position with one who never 1 ad a character worthy of the confidence of a legro ? We knew at the time that the change vas not made for tbe public good, but to prat i y a malignant hate, and to humiliate respecta bid citizens by forcing business trana between them and such a person. AH MPOBTABT PQSTCBIPT. The Ledger adda: Last night's mail placed us in posses, additional facts ia relation to the recent ry and robbery of the maila bj J. H. V?

HOSTETTEB'S STOMACH BITTER3 remove all these evils by re noving their immediate caure in the digestive organs, and regulating the action of the intestines. The combination of properties in thia celebrated preparation ie one of its chief merits. It is not merely a stimulant, or a tonic, or an anti-bil? ious agent, or a nervine, or a blood d?purent, or a cathartic, but all these curative elements judicious? ly blended m one powerful restorative. It lends ac? tivity aud vigor lo the inert and enervated stomach, relieves the alimentai v canal of ita ob J true lions, and gives tone to the membrane which lines it, gently stimulates the liver, braces the nerves, and cheeta the animal spirits.

PARATION, compounded by one of our oldest snd most esteemed druggists, has, during the short time in which it has been offered to the public, attained a reputation which bas almost entirely driven out of mirket the various tonten and stimulants which, for a few mon'he, by exorbitant puffing and heavy ad? vertising, succeeded in building a profitable busi? ness for their projector;. Solomon's Bitters are not of the flashy style, de? pending upon large advertising, bought puffs and fictitious recommendations for a sale to a gullible public. Their composition is well known to and ap? proved by miny of our best physicians, and the pro? prietors depend upon the intrinsic merits of their medlcine to make it as popular as lt is curative. They do net pretend to offer a medicinal prepara? tion that will cure all the ills that flesh ls hen- to, but they do contend that the judicious use of these Bitters will greatly alleviate human suffering, and bring very many to a state of comparative health who hive long been strangers to that grear blessing. One good genuine recoinraeadation of any pro? fessed curative is worth dozens or hundreds of bougbt certificates, and tho Messrs. SOLOMONS have only published a few oui of the hundreds of rin? so icited testimonies which tho have received. We this morning give a copy of a letter from Hon. ALI- X. H.
