VOLUME IX.-NUMBER 1360. CHARLESTON, MONDAY MORNING, MAY 2, 1870. SIX DOLLARS A YEAR. WASHINGTON. GRANT A SD THE BIG INDIANS. T* v - JfW [FROM THE ASSOCIATED P1IESS.] Wr WASHINGTON*, June 2. ?. Tbe President has nominated R. M. Wallace collector of the Third South Carolina District, vice his b: other, A. S. Wallace, recently seated in Congress, and he has been confirmed by tho Senate. The President's nominations lor West Point are confined to the sons of soldiers and sailors. There are uone from the South. Grant presented Spotted Tail with a floe pipe, a silver match box, and box of tobacco. Red Cloud was not present. He had a friendly interview with Spotted Tail this morning, who will, with his people, meet the lucian Commissioner and Secretary of the Interior in council to-morrow. Spotted Tail and his delegation had a conference to-day at the White House with the President and Sec? retary of War. Boutwell and Hoar were pre? sent, but did not take part in the conference. The Indians recited the old story of their wrongs, their wants, and their desire to be at peace with the whites. The President made a speech, assuring them of the desire of the government to have peace, and told them the h whites were powerful, and would prove it if necessary; but he hoped for thoroughly ami? cable relations between the nations. Spotted Tail said that the Indians had kept their prom? ises, but the whites had not. SENATE. In the Senate, Flannagan introduced a reso? lution in favor ol the construction of aa inter? national railroad. Harris Introduced a resolution directing thc Committee on Commerce to take into consid? eration the reconstruction of levees destroyed during the war. He estimates tbe expense at thirty-six million?. The committee to report next session. The resolution is still under discussion. m * HOUSE. A hundred brewers of New York petitioned the House not to be classified as manufactu? rers of spirituous liquors, and two hundred to? bacco manufacturers of New York petitioned for a uniform tax of sixteen cents. Root Introduced a bill authorizing a bridge on the Arkansas River, at Little Rock. Clark, of Texas, introduced a bill donating ce rtaitf Federal property in Galveston to that city. The resolution paying Hunt $2000. Sypher 14900, McCrea S30W, Morey $3000, Ryan $3500, I all contestants from Louisiana, passed by a ' vote of 77 to 69. The Tax MU was resumed, the question be? ing on income tax There was great di versl ty of opinion. Schenck closed the discussldn, and said the committee bad proposed to reduce the Income tax by in? creasing the exemption to $1500, which would be a reduction of nearly JG,ooo,ooo. His opin? ion was that was about as much of a reduction as could be safely made at this Ame. Blithe was not?t all prepared to say that next year ' and the year after, and so on, these redactions ' might not be continued. Gentlemen were not to be misled by supposing that all that was to be proposed by the Committee of Ways and Means in the shape of reduction of taxation was included ia this bill, and he had no objection to - distinctly state, so that there might be no mis? understanding, that he had prepared a section or two to be offered at the close of the bill, which was to reduce internal taxation and for other purposes, which would so amend the tariff as to lake off some $23,000,000 or $24, 000,000 more than this bill would take off the interal revenue bill. If the proposion to strikeout the Income tax should prevail, he wanted the gentlemen to remember that they would not only strike out $25,000,000 of reve? nue, a loss which could not be afforded, but would strike out the only provision for taxing lncoofee on United States bonds. In conclu 8ioot he moved the previous questiou, but by agreement lt was decided to- postpone voting upon it until to-morrow. Beck offered an amendment to the forty fourth section, the effect of which would be to tax trie*" interest on all government bonds live per cent. This was carried-00 to 65. Willard demanded the yeas and nays, re? marking that this was taxing United States bonds held abroad, and was to that extent re? pudiation. Allison moved an adjournment, which was agreecT to by a vote of 93 to 52. The House th?*n, at 4 P. M., amid much ex? citement, adjc urned. . EVROFE. Mazzini at Work, GENEVA, June 2.

MORE SURSHIRE. Whittemore, the Great Carpet-Bagger. [From the New York SUD, (Editorial,) May 31. Mr. Rainey, a gentleman of color, formerly a barber in Charleston, having withdrawn as a candidate for Congress in the First. District of South Carolina, the disreputable Whittemore is left with T. C. Dunn, of Massachusetts, (white,) Republican, as Iiis only opponent. The entire vote of the district is 31,700, of which 10,845 votes are cast by the blacks, anti 13,875 by the whiles, as follows: Counties. White Vote. Black Vote. Korry.1.3S6 ?5f> Georgetown. 609 042 Marion.2.114 1,861 Marlboro'.1,115 1,117 Chesterfield.1,300 864 Darlington.2,025 2,7+1 Sumter.1,486 3,313 ? Clarendon. 881 1,700 Williamsburg.1,125 1,998 Lancaster.1,010 roo Kershaw. 821 1.493 Total.13,875 19,845 At the eledion which takes place to-day Whittemore will receive at least three-i'ourtlis of the black vote. Dunn hopes to receive the remaining fourth part of the black vote, to? gether with almost the entire white vote, mak? ing the result as lollows: Whittemore's Dunn's Black vote Counties. majorltv. majority, for Dunn. Horry. 1500 500 Georgetown. looo 200O Marlon./. 1500 ;ooo Marlboro'. 200 150 Chesterfield. 400 100 Darlington_:. doo .. 209 Sumter.1200 .. 100 Clarendon. 500 Williamsburg.soo 200 Lancaster. 200 100 Kershaw. 500 .. 100 Total.3000 4800 4450 But even if Dunn's hopes are verified, ac? tion has been taken by the Ring in Columbia whicn indicates that he is to be cheated. An act of the Legislature passed in September, 18G8, provided that the managers, of the polls, on the closing of the same, were at once to publicly canvass the votes and re? turn a cortlfloate of the result t? the county canvassers, who were to send those certifi? cates to Columbia. There are eleven counties in the district, thirty-three county canvassers, and, in all, eighty polling precincts. Last spring another act was passed, that carefully does not provide that the managers of the polls shall publicly canvass the votes, but that the votes of the respective precincts shall bc canvassed only by the county canvassers when they have received the sealed ballot-boxes of all the precincts. Thus, a political conspiracy to change the result ot the vote in thc district, which before would have been known to the managers of perhaps the whole eighty precincts, can now bc conducted with facility by the thirty-three county canvassers alone. The counting of the votes cast in each county may be done at any time within ten days alter the election, and tho county canvassers have an opportunity during this period to arrange and consummate any fraud which they may de? sire. There ls also another curious circum? stance in this curious case. On the 14th of May, only seventeen days before lite election, Governor Scott appointed a new body of coun? ty canvassers, composed almost exclusively ol Whittemore's personal friends. The law re? quires that the canvassers shall be appointed sixty days prior to the day of election, and the appointments made by the Governor only seventeen days prior to the election arc there? fore illegal. But we suppose they will never? theless serve to secure whittemore's return to Congress, so that he will be there to take ad? vantage of any future rise in the price of cadetshlps. Mr. Dunn, the opposing candidate, has not confined his attacks upon Whittemore to facts that are already universally notorious. He has freely exhibited to the voters o? the First District a letter, of wbich the following ls the most important portion : BOSTON, April 16, 1870. T. C. Dunn, ESQ., Little Uiver, S. C.: * * * I have had a long talk with W. F. Shaw, the man from whom Whittemore stole money. He was in Mr. Shaw's employ, and took the money at various times in stock, which he sold. His peculations extended over quite a space of time, and amounted in the aggregate to some $5000. This amount was ascertained, but whether more was taken ls not known. Shaw has a writing of Mr. Whittemore acknowledging the Uteft, and promising to restore the amount as soon as he cao. Up to this time he has not paid anything. Shaw ls now quite friendly to Whittemore, and you will see ic te for his Interest to have him in Congress. ******* S. P. SnsrrARn, ... Of the firm of Morse, Sheppard Sc Co., Dry Goods Merchants, Boston. The reader will see that Mr Shaw's desire to have Whittemore in Congress, so that be can make money and pay back the $5000, is rather hard on Congress. Perhaps Whitte? more has already entered upon his duty to Shaw when he soldihe cadetship. Whi? lr mort* '?Charities." " [From the same paper.] The Rev. Mr. Sncdder, colored, who preaches in Darlington County, S. C., says that some time ago Mr. Whittemore came along with a bevy ol' schoolmistresses, and got dinner pre? pared for them in Snedder's house. One of the mistresses made a remark which sub? sequently induced Soedder to inquire ol Whittemore: "What did you do with the dollar a head that you collected of those schoolmistresses for the dinner that they had . in my house ?'' "I expended the money for a Charitable purpose," ' was Whittemore's reply. He said the same tiling in relation to thc fifteen hundred dollars which he received for the cadetship sold In Washing? ton, through a broker, for two thousand dol? lars. Yet the most careiul investigation in South Carolina has failed to show that he did anything with the money except put it in his own pocket, where he has it now. The pub? lic school records in South Carolina conclu? sively prove that he did not disburse the money for the benefit of any ol' these schools, and contravene the statement he made thal he expended tho money for the benefit ol* the public schools in his district. FROM TEE CARADA EOE OER. Thc Fenian Fiasco. A dispatch from St. Albans states that Gene? ral Donelly has been removed from Franklin to St. Albans, where he is under ai rest at Hie Weiden Hou?e. Thomas Murphy, who was captured by thc Canadians, is now in Sweets burg jail, and he will, it is thought, bo set ut liberty at an carly day. No arms or papers were found on his person. J. l?oyie O'Rciliv, a reporter for the Boston Pilot, was arrested as one of O'Neil's officers, but relea%d, no evi? dence against him appearing. The remains of Rowe, who was killed in thc fight at Richard's farm, have been disinterred by consent of thc Fenians and forwarded lo Bennington, where his mother resides. Tue body of O'Brien, killed in the same tight, has also been forwarded to his friends. A dispatch from Albany states tfcat Colonel Leverich lias been authorized by Governor Hoffman to proceed immediately." to Malone and furnish transportation home lo all str?n? gen in and about tbe place. Hon. William M. Tweed advances money, and authorizes Colo? nel Leverich to send home, at his expense, nil belonging to New York City. The Fenian Council at San Francisco have decided not to accept any further subscrip? tions. The Fenian General Starr has made an offi? cial report of the affair at Huntingdon, In which he says that the whole of his force, in? cluding stragglers, numbered not over 200 men, that only 108 of these were in thc fight, and that they fell back in good order. The Canadian loree, he said, consisted ol' thc G?Uh regiment, willi four pieces of artillery, and 700 volunteers, who fired volley after volley, bu: in so wild a manner as to ilo no hana ' WflITTEMORE WS. THE ELECTION IN TUE FIRST DIS? TRICT. PROBABLE ELECTION OF THE CADETSHIP BROKER. Marlboro". Our correspondent, ?.Marlboro'," writing from Bennettsville on Wednesday, says that the negroes voted almost unanimously for Whittemore. At Bennettsville poll the vote was-Whittetnorc 332, Dunn 18. The propor? tion is believed to be thc same throughout the county. Williamsburg. In this county Whittemore's majority is over? whelming. The Star says that at Kingstree the vote was : Whittemore 204; Dunn 50. The county goes overwhelmingly for Whittemore. Sumter. In litis county thc whites took little or no interest in the election. All the precincts heard (Vom give Whittemore a tremendous majority. As far as reported by the Sumter News, Hie vote is : Whittemore. Dunn. Sumter.439 so Lynchburg.137 l Manchester.ino 6 Swimming Pens. 55 00 Providence.120 oo Blshopvtlle.183 1 The vote for thc whole county, ns reported by special telegram to Tut: CHARLESTON NEWS, is: Whittemore, 2039; Dunn, GS. Kershaw. The vole in this county la light, but Whitte more is a long way ahead. Our correspon dent reports the vote to be: Whittemore, 666 Dunn, 179, and Rainey, 4. Thc Vote. The following table shows the white or col ored majorities in each county in the First Congressional District, according to thc Stale census recently published: .White Maj'y. Colored Maj'y Lancaster. 20 Chesterfield.496 Marlboro'... :. 2 Darlington. 715 Marlon. 246 norry.831 Georgetown. 2,533 Williamsburg. 873 Sumter. 1,827 Clarendon. 1,010 Ker?haw. 627 Ol these counties the following are known to have given Whittemore a whacking majori ty-Marlboro', Williamsburg, Sumter and Ker shaw". Horry will undoubtedly give Dunn a large majority, and the result hangs, in all probability, upon tho vote In Georgetown County. All present Indications, however, are la favor ol thc re-election of Whittemore. THE LAND COMMISSION. MORE LIGHT UPON A DARK SUBJECT. Autou m? i np Revolutions. There is some hope now that thc public will be made acquainted with thc Inside workings of tho "Land Commission Ring. A correspon? dent of the Columbia Guardian, who signs hlmseir "A Republican," opened fire on Wed? nesday, chargiug Senator Leslie and Treasurer Parker, with tire guilt of thc $130,000 land pur? chase. Thc same correspondent prints in yesterday's Guardian the following letter: With your p?rmlsslon, I will again trespass upon your time, and through the columns of you paper make a statement that is due to certain persons in connection with the Land Commission. The article on the subject of the "Land Commission." published this morning, has elicited certain facts that should be made known in order that Aili justice shall be meted ont to all concerned, as that was tho proposi? tion upon which the late article was submit? ted. In that article Mr. Leslie was charged with procuring thc signatures of Messrs. Parker, Chamberlain and Neuglc to an appli? cation for the purchase of a large tract of land in Charleston County. This was a mistake. Mr. Parker had charge of Hie affair from the beginning, and Mr. Leslie says he signed the application in blank upon Mr. Parker's rep? resentation, and Mr. Parker, State Treasu? rer, procured the signatures of Messrs. Chamberlain and Nengle to the same paper by representing the land to be cheap and good, and a good Investment for the com? mission to make. After having the signatures ot these gentlemen and Leslie, he signed the application, and li is signature made the thing complete, because he" was a majority of the board. And as he lias the charge ol the funds of the State, as treasurer, he made out checks upon the (mancini agent in New York and drew the money, without the signature of the Governor, who knew nothing about the trans? action until as staled iu thc tonner letter. The original owners of the lands, for which the State paid $120,000, actually received but about one-fourth of thc amount. With these facts before them, tho public may judge, or guess, or surmise, il'they will, whore tho small (?) sum ol $90,000 has gone. This statement is simply just to Mr. Leslie, with others. Leslie is bail enough, but we would not put one touch of coloring on the devil (o make him blacker than he should justly be. Ve|y respectfully, REPUBLICAN. Vindicating Thc New?. A correspondent of the Guardian, "The Public," proves by the letter of "A Republi? can." the correctness of the statements already made in THE NEWS, and carries the war into Africa : An article headed "Light on thc Land Com? mission," and signed "Republican." has. just come under my view. Thc reading ol it sug? gests a few remarks, which I beg ol' you to in? sert in your columns. 1. "Republican" does not deny Hie stat ement made by thc writer whom he criticises, that the State, through ?the agency ol' the Land Commission, paid $120,000 for land bought of Mr. Schley at about $30,000. We take it for granted, then, that such a thing was done. 2. "Republican" charges that C. P. Leslie and some one in Charleston divided the spoils. They "handled thc change." he says. Thai may be. Will "Republican" be so good as to show how and all about it ? 3. "Republican" defends Mr. Parker against lite charge said to be made by Tut: CUARI.ES TON NEWS' correspondent, that ho was "con? nected with the disposal of the $90,000." Just? ly enough, ror all wc know as tu the fact ol' Mr. Treasurer Parker's agency in the matter. But does the correspondent charge any such 'Hiing exclusively? ile speaks ol' "Mr.* State Treasurer Niles G. Parr.er's course in regard lo thepurehase ol' certain lands in Charleston County.'" The meaning may be that which "Republican*1 denies, or it may be that Mr. Treasnrer Parker, being both a member of the Advisory Board and State Treasnrer, was doubly culpable; first, as member of the board, in allowing such a stun for the land, and secondly, tvs treasurer, in honoring the draft upon the treasury for its payment. ? 4. "Republican" exonerates Governor Scott ami Secretary ot Stale Cardo*?)from any blame in Hie case, because "they knew nothing about the transaction until it was ail over." That may be. But be represents that "Mc. Leslie made such representations to Mr. Parker, treasurer. Attorney-General Chamberlain, and Comptroller Neagle," and we suppose, ol' course, also, to the present Land Commission? er, DeLargc, "as induced them to approve ol' the purchase." Will these members, one or all, be so good as to give their aid lo "Repub? lican" in throwing more light on Hie transac? tion to which they were parties, to a certain extent at least? -Thc bottom of a freight car loaded with seventeen horses gave way a few clays ago on the Hudson River Railroad, while the train was in motion, and the accident was not dis? covered mi the next station was readied. The consequences wer.: naturally very unpleasant to tho horse?. OFFICIAL.

ALLAYS INFLAMMATION OF THE GUMS. CURBS CH0L1C, CHOLERA INFANTUM. DYSENTERY, AND ALL DISEASES TO WHICH CHILDREN ARE SUBJECT WHEN TEETHING. CONTAINS NO ANODYNE. RUSSELL'S SOOTHING CORDIAL is ofTered to the public with an absolute guarantee against aU danger from its use. Read the following certifi? cates: CHARLESTON, May 18,1868. Mr. J. B. RUSSELL, one of our careful and intel? ligent Pharmaceutists and Apothecaries, has sub? mitted to my examination the formula for the preparation of a Soothing Cordial prepared and. vended by him. It affords me pleasure to express a favorable opinion of Its safe and efllclent adaptation to the particular cases of the diseases of children, which it is designed to relieve. E. GEDDINGS, M. D. Having had occasion to prescribe RUSSELL'S Soothing Cordial In severe cases of Bowel Com? plaints in children and delicate females, I have been much pleased with its effects. I consider it a valuable medicine in al) cases, in which it may be advisable to avoid the use of anodyne, and par? ticularly for family use, as it Ls perfectly safe, W. T. WRAGG, M. D. CHARLESTON. S. C.. 1868. I certify that I have most successfully useff RUSSELL'S Soothing Cordial In the Summer Com olaints o' Infants. He has fully exhibited the in? gredients of his remedy, and the tedious method of preparation. I recognize the prescription containing no anodyne whatever-as a most safe and efficacious one in bowel affections of children. When much pain or restlessness attends the affec? tion, doses of Paregoric can be added to the pre? scribed doses of the Cordial according to the age of the patient. The compound, though more often, acts in an efllcien*. manner without any ad? dition of anodyne. In the Diarrhoea of tho aged, in Increased doses, it is of great value as a remedy ; never disagree? ing with the stomach-increasing appetite, Im? proving digestion, and acting as a slow but effl ciput as'ringent agent. W. M. FITCH, M. D. CHARLESTON, S. C., 166S. Dear Sir-I have used your Soothing Cordial for Diarrhoea in teething children, and lind lt a very excellent preparation. It has a great advantage over most preparations cf the kind la containing no Opium or Narcotic. When these are required they can be added in. proportions applicable to the case. I therefore can recommend its use In the affec? tions for which it is designed. Respectfully yours, Ac. T. L. OG 1ER, M. D MOUNT PLEASANT, S. C., lS6f>. Afr. J. B. Russell : " ^, " " , DEAR SIK-I have used your Soothing Cordta. for children extensively in my practice, and most cheer'ul'v testily to its merits. I have found it, without ?n exception, io accomplish all it clainis, and consider it superior to anything In use for children. , , ,. , Its freedom from anodyne of any km fl recom? mends it as a perfectly safe preparati- . In the hands of mothers ami Inexperienced nurses. Verv respectfully, A-c, D. R. WILLIAMS, M. 1). Made by J. P. RUSSELL, Chemist. Sold by Dr. H. BAER, Wholesale At-ent foy South Carolina. octlS.
