Prom this fact It would appear that the massa? cre was premeditated. ."-Miss M. 9. Greea, of Alliance, Ohio, was last week employed as a compositor at the ?Government Printing Office in Waihingtou. It ls stated that she is an efficient typo, but bas no card from any printers' union. Coming Acm a place, however, where there is no unicn. members of the Washington union, according to their rules, cannot object to uer being employed without card. She Is the first female compositor employed In the Government office. -The New York Times says: ..The city has more Southern visitors at this moment than at any time since the restoration of peace. Some of our largest hotels are literally crowded with them. They seem Intent upon blending pleas .ure with business, and not at all unwilling to talk, and act and enjoy themselves generally, as though they had never smarted under the process of reconstruction. Their presence in? dicates the return cf prosperity to the South gradual lt may be, and beset with vexatious . .recollections, but having all the signs of health -and durability." . -The New York World, in analyzing the news from the seat of war, remarks: "The French army Is gradually more and more con? centrating around Nancy and Toul, not only becanse the German main attack is directed on -this important strategical point and railroad .centre, but also because the line between .Nancy and Chalons, where the French reserve ls stationed, offers r?verai points of defence, a ?direct and easy connection by rall with Cha? lons and Paris, and finally because there is LO earthly use for the French to stay'nen-the strong fortress of Metz, which is very well able to take Care of itself", while the main body of the German armies ls marching by that plate", south of'it and towards Nancy. Qt course, to garrison stich large fortressed as Metz and Strasbourg will take from the French army In the fleld dt least G0,000 men, who might do good service in the im? pending battle, and_it will be felt as a loss, the more so as- other French cities, with large and turbulent populations like Marseilles, Lyons and "Toulouse, each of them want a garrison to keep thlugs in order. But nevertheless lt will be found that the French army In the fleld will be a very strong and valiant one, and should they boat the Germans somewhere near Nancy or Chalons, far away from the Rhine, and with two powerful fort? resses in the rear and their flanks, then the G0.000 men in Metz and Strasbourg may prove of a great use and a dangerous and destructive enemy, tor in case of a defeat ot the German army they would be able to sally forth from their strongholds fresh and well equipped, and pounce upon the flanks of the retreating ene? my, already in disorder and demoralized by defeat Should the Germans, however, not allow themselves tobe beatea-and up to now it must be confessed that they certainly have not -shown much disposition for lt-then these gar? risons win amount, to so much dead loss to the French lu this campaign." The Northern Opinion or the Scott Ring. The Scott Ring, who, with characteristic impudence, dub themselves Union Republi? cans! are careful to bide from their colored supporters the Indignant criticisms of the Northern Radical press upon the disgrace? ful scenes aud corrupt cooduct which have brought the State to the brink of commercial and social ruin. They know well enough that they are sustained c iiedy because they are believed to be the representatives iu South Carolina of the National Republican party. . Take this cloak of charity from them, and they stand before the public in all their loathsome nakedness and hideous de? formity. It is important, therefore, that the Reformers should, upou all occasions, show the colored Radicals that Scott, Ransier, Whittemore and their crew, have been "read "out" of the Republican party, and that the preseut State Government is as generally condemued by the Republicans of the North as it ls by our own honest people. The means of proving the absolute truth of this statement are ready at hand. First on the list Ls the New York Tribune, the head aud front of American Radicalism. This able paper called upon the Federal of? ficials to -open the Penitentiary doors, and "let us have an end of Whittemore." And ibis mau Whittemore drew up, and presented, he platform of principles of the Scott Ring, ind is still one of its most trusted and hon? ored members. This gives point to the nanly utterances of Slr. Horace Greeley's .aper. The New York Times is even more ex llicit than the Tribune. This paper charges jcott and his party with ..legislative profli 'gacy,"and declares that the Republican c ?arty will not be saddled with the reckless v ascallty perpetrated iu its name. The _ rimes says : t ..Extravagance and corruption have unfor- k unately been characteristics of several of the n econstructed Legislatures. They have squan lered money which had been wrung by taxa loa from the propertied classes; and they lave Incurred liabilities with a prodigality t inly to be accounted for by the face that the i nen who make the laws are not the men who e >ay the taxes. The States' indebtedness has leen largely Increased-not in furtherance of c i policy of judicious material development, but ( n obedience to the demands, or in pursuance j if the intrigues, of railroad companies and t heir agents. The State aid which has brought f rib ala ti un upou Michigan, and will some day t >ring trouble upon New York, bas been lav- i shly granted at the South. The Carolinas, j ?eorgla, Alabama, and other States, have r idopted the system to an extent that will, t ?ooner or later, Impair their credit, and pro roke the unpleasant Issues from which MIchl- t ran vainly strives to escape. This legislative g irofllgacy imparts vitality to the Reforming t novement in South Carolina, and contributed i iltnost as much as Holden's acts to the victory ] >f the Conservatives In North Carolina. The ( Republican party ls made to bear the rcspons'.- j jlllty for rascality aud recklessness perpetrated j n ILS name by the majorities in Southern Leg- l .slatures. The States themselves suffer from jurdens which retard enterprise, and from a | Wiley which subordinates the general good to j i fierce and unscrupulous partisanship." ? It adds: ? ..The Republican party must purge itself of < :he taints derived from the blunders and mis- 1 ?onduets of Southern Legislatures." Nor is the New York Sun less emphatic ,n its utterances. It says: "The fruits of the carpet-bag reign of the last ( Ive years are what might have been expected, t Fhe world may le searched in vain for govern- ( nentsso immoral, so shamelessly corrupt, so tonelessly rouen, as thosenow prevailing in the j South. Politically they may be changed; but t his caunot cure one of the sorest of the evils \ ilready Inflicted. These scamps have run the | States they rule ruinously into debt. The Leg- ] slatures controlled by them have pledged the 5tate3 to the discharge of pecuniary obligations >f crushing weight, to the future redemption >f an enormous amount of bonds, and to the mposltlon of onerous taxes through a series ol rears. This has been done in furtherance ot di sorts of schemes whereby the authors reap iresent wealth and anticipate larger gains in he immediate future. These b-nlens have al eady seriously embarrassed all ol'these States, iud well ulgh bankrupted some of them; and o save them from ruin, the reign of the carpet jag robbers must be speedily brought to au 1 e ;nd." 11 An independent Philadelphia paper, the Public Record, writes in a similar strain. In :n article upon South Caroliua affairs, it says : "It Is time our public councils and legisla? tive bodies were purged from such vermin. It s just such political adventurers as this Whit? emore who have damaged the canse of sound norals and good government in most of the .econstructed States, and caused such a reac ion In public sentiment in those States as has ?eceutly been exhibited in North Carolina." And when we turn to The Kation, we enow not which to choose of the many bold exposures of ?be rogueries of the Scott Ring. The Nation pronounces our present State Government:'a disgrace to civilization," and in its last issue, says: i "The truth, so far as we can make it out, ls t about this. In North Carolina, as elsewhere < iu tlie South, the majority of the whites have f l03t all confidence lu the honesty of the donal- i nant party: the Norla Caroliua Legislature, no ( more than that of South Carolina, has escaped the charge of extreme rascality and waste, though the reputation of the South Carolinian is of coursi tnueJt worse than that of the other; the Governor i^thought not free frem ccmplia ty with certain railway jobbers. That these people """were . Republicans ls sp" ' much-the worse for the Republican party. Over the immediaU result-no decent 'Republican ne,ed bemoan'himself, and ".lt is.^gratUylng to' see Bow few the party papers are that keep up the regulation talk of four yeats ago about loyalty.* - Like expressions of opinion may be found in other pfomineut'Tladical journals of the North, but we have given-enough to indi? cate the current bf thought," " as well as to' show the estimation in which honest Repub? licans hold Scott and all his creatures. "What these journals have said in the North, Radi? cals like Cain and Leslie have said at home; aud no man has been more outspoken in this direction than Judge James L. Orr. In a published conversation with a Tribune re? porter, a few months ago, he denounces the Radical leaders a3 "wien m/io do not and "never did enjoy public confidence ; men "who are ignorant, corrupt, dishonest, and "unfit, by reason of their early associations, "for decent society. By employing all the "arte of the demagogue," he said, "andan "???cnip?lous use of disgraceful agencies, "they succeeded in being elected to the most important ofHce3 in the State. " And these are the very "ignorant, corrupt, dishones*. and unfit" men to whom be now, in public, pledges his support, and in whose behalf he seeks the suffrages of the people of the State. But, to return to our starting point, the Scott Ring are DO; recognized as Republi? cans, nor does the Union Reform party op? pose them as Republicans. The Ring have heaped up debt after debt, and have piled tax on tax. They take the bread from the mouths of the poor- and make insecure the gold and silver of the rich. They are the public enemy, and against them are arrayed the vir? tue, the wealth and the intelligence of South Carolina-not for the success of any party, but for the purpose of obtaining a govern? ment uDder which all may live in comfort and in safety. Yet Another Land Swindle. Our Colombia correspondent sends the following report of a little transaction in Colleton County, which ended in the sale to the State of three tracts of land, for just about three times their value. Senator Cain urged the purchase, upon the ground that the lands were good-for a margin. Who pocketed that margin our correspondent ioes not say, but it ia worthy of note that as iYhittemore, the cadetship-seller, declares ;he Scott administration to be wise, eco lomical and honest, so land-seller Cain was he first to "fliug to the breeze" for re? fection the name of R. K. Scott. Li nearly ?very case where a public man supports ?colt, it is done for what oki Trapbois called 'a consideration." Our correspondent, '.Corsair," says: We all remember the tone of outraged inno ence, and Indignant and defiant virtue, with . -hick the Rev. Mr. Cain, the Hon. R. H. Cain, j enator from Charleston, at one time poured I jrth his feelings at the Advisory Board of the And Commission, saying, ominously, that be ' mew enough to hang them, whoever '-them'' night be. Everybody remembers lt. * ? It was only a few months ago. It produced a profound Impression. \ From the County of Colleton there comes a i latch of figures and facts that throw light 1 ipon this glorious outburst ot virtue and 'Cononiy. Daddy Cain, veiy soon after that outrage- ! msly virtuous editorial, wrote to tho Land i Commissioner, who at that time was Mr. De- ' jarge, to ?ay that he had some lands In view ? hat were real good lands-lands with room 1 br a margin. Has Secretary Cardozo forgot- ( en the astonishment produced by that letter ? t became apparent to certain members of the . Joard that If they entertained Daddy Cain's iroposltlou, he would hardly broak out on ! hem again in that fierce way of his. However that may have been, our Colleton ! rtends know that Daddy Cain urged, advised , ind effected the sale to the Commissioner of 1 bree tracts of land In that county.namely: One ract ol 2732 acres, lying on EJisto River, near ?ldgeville, about thirty-two miles from Charleston, at 51 an acre: another tract cf 300 teres, in the same neighborhood, for *3 an tere; and the third tract, ol' 1040 acres, upon four-Hole Creek, not far from Ridgerille, for 12 an acre. Wm. M. Cummings cwnc-r* thc ands, and Cain effected the sale of them. The >rlce paid by the State for these three tracts to? gether was $13,90$. Our Colleton friends are tin? ier the impression that tract number one ls wtrageously dear at $4. and that 52 would be learer its value. Tract number two is worse ?till; and as for tract number three, upon Four rlole Creek, the worthless barrens of Hell ?ole Swamp are valleys of tue Nile In com? parison. All of these lauds are inferior, most >f them being what are known as timber lands, oo poor for any cultivation, and worth owning >nly for the pine timber on them. They olten ?ell at less than a dollar au acre. A gentle nan in Horry offered such some months ago it?fty cents au acre, four thousand acres in a M)dy. But Daddy Cain says they are good, [fora margin,) aud Daddy Cain ls an Incor? ruptible patriarch of the fold. Another Hint for the District Attorney. Apropos of the recent withdrawal of the :adetship peddler from the cc nteat for Cou rressional honors, the New York Tribune .emark3, editorially: "The confidence of Mr. Whit .-?more in hie mecas? as a candidate for the nut Congress, md his admission if elected, is net so great as ii? impertinence in seeking a nomination; .?lae he would uot withdraw fi'om thc canvass ia be has done. He hus announced bis inton? ion to retire to private life-a conclnsion ..hose wisdom and taste we heartily approve. ?Ve are sorry we cannot wish him a peaceful injoyment of his retreat from the public pos? ion he abused, but, feeling that be still owes he Stats some service, we rather regret that :he United States District Attorney for bis state does not recognize the fact aud insist :bat the debt shall bc paid." The London Cosmopolitan. Those who are familiar with the London news )aper literature of the last four or five years, leed not be reminded that among its most at? ractivo and progressive hebdomadals, The Cosmopolitan atands first. It is a bold, fear ess and startling vehicle for the propagation if American doctrines, that in some respecte ab, perhaps, a little in advance of the day, but ire none the less sound and tina. It is the inly English weekly-if a publication can be ?aid to be English that is in sentiment and ex cession American-wiich is owned and con lucted in the English capital by Americans. A journal imitating the example of The Cos nopolitan is wanted in New York quite as nuch as in London. It is a model publication, lalculated to instruct thoso who agree with it, md to coavart those who do zo1:. Reform Topics. The interior papers received yesterday con? tais the proceedings of'the meetings held in different counties to organize Reform Clubs. There have been organized, daring, the past neck : At Thomas Township, in Darlington County-Messrs. Byrd, Ward and Culpepper making speeches-Jesse Keith, president; at Mount Hope, in Wdliamsburg-S. .W. Maurice and others making speeches-G. D. Rhodas, president; atBatesville, in Edgefield-speeches by Judge Bacon, the Hon. L. 8. Youma?s; at Dry. Creek, In the same county-speeches by Judge Bacon, Jonaa Byrd, Judge Butler; and at Newberry Courthouse, Thomas Moorman, president. The Newberry Herald says : "Can we carry the election ? Advices from various points in the lino of battle assure ns that it can be done, but to secure so desirable an end the people must work; put their shoulders to the wheel, and their hands into their pockets." A REFORM Mass Meeting will be held at Orangeburg Courthouse on Monday, Septem? ber otb. The Hon. A. P. Aldrich, and other prominent gentlemen, wUl speak upon the occasion. We hope that the meeting wUl be a large one. Orangeburg is an important county, and cannot be carried without great exertion. An address from some of our Charleston stumpers would undoubtedly help the cause. Cuanto. WANTED IMMEDIATELY, A RESPEC? TABLE WHiTE WOMAN, to cook and wash for a family.
