Whitely, Georgia, major; Charles Haye, Alabama, captain. -Presidential gossip at Washington ls lively with the names of several who are considered worthy to serre the Radical party In the posi? tion of candidate In 1872. General Logan con? siders his elevation to the Senate only a step? ping-stone to a higher place, and although the organization of tbe Grand Army ol the Repub? lic ls divorced from polities, his greatest hopes Hein his influence in that association. Gene? ral Sherman Is mentioned as willing u> follow In the footsteps of his predecessor at the head Cf our armies-Secietary Boutwell is only too * willing; General Butler ls official authority on Mr. Blaine's aspirations. The same gossip mentions, on the Democratic side, General Hancock-, Senator Hendricks, Judge Thurman, General Rosecrans and others, giants in com? parison with the swarm of pigmies who are are Intriguing for the Radical nomination. It is notable that Mr. Colfax ls" entirely left out of the calculation; but no dependence can be placed on the omission, which is evidently part of bis plan. As for General Grant, he is already considered politically dead by his own party. No one thinks of putting him at the head of the ticket next year; and meantime he is seeking to drown his mortification in the more congenial pursuit of horse-taming and .driving, and, let us hope, nothing worse. -The recent political movement in Ohio, which bids fair to build a new party on the rains of the effete Republican organization, ls attracting much attention throughout the country. It has been talked of for a long time In Cincinnati. The first meeting, March ll, was attended by about twenty leading Re? publicans, and a committee of five appointed to draft a declaration of principles. On the 18th this platform was adopted, and tile. next week a constitution established and offlcors chosen. A day or two since a proclamation Jjggfc_?_ to the public was issued, signed by Borne. seventy prominent men, :among whom is ex Secretary Cox. It glorifies the war record of the Republican party,.. bat declares that ita future usefulness and BUCCSBS will depend on its fleeting the questions of the present, and puta forth as the platform of the signers four prlnci plee for its-guidance. FireVtt? removal of all political disabilities and the burial of the enmi? ties and resentments of the war. Second, the collection o? duties for revenue only,the present system of protective duties being condemned as unjust and wrong in principle, and defeat? ing its own ends in practice. They protest against being taxed for the benefit of private individuals and corporations, and making the shroud of the old Whig party the mantle of Republicanism. They demand that tariff duties be so adj usted as to derive the requisite revenue from the smallest possible number of taxable articles. Third, opposition to the employment of government patronage for party purposes. They favor an immediate and thorough reform of the civil service of the Federal Government, and insist that the appointments of subordi? nate officers should be made on the ground of fitness only, with promotions for merit, and the tenure of the office depending on the honesty and efficiency of the officer, without regard to the fluctuations of political opinions and the changes of party relations. They be? lieve that .party nominations should be made only when party Interests are at stake, and not in merely local .elections. Fourth, a grad? ual but certain return to gold and silver as the only true basis of currencies. Tbe Path to Peace. Mr. Memminger, in his letter to Governor Scott, tells the plain truth when he says that "the formation of combinations" in the upper conn ties of the State is caused by "the "conviction that the existing Government tff "th? State ia utterly corrupt, and that it has "failed in all the duties which are required ."at its hands-that there is no adequate "security for life or property, and that the. "taxes laid by ike Legislature must event "uaiein the virtual confiscation of the entire income of the citizens." The active cause of all this evil is the Legislature of the State. The character of that body must be changed, and this cannot be bad without altering the constituency which elects the Legislature. Mr. Memminger, therefore, proposes that the State Constitution be amended so that the voters, aa in Massachusetts, shali be only such as eau read and have paid some tax [ for the support of the government This, we may remark, is the objective point of the argument contained m the published articles of Oii'zen, who, moreover, proposes to drive the Radical leadersjnto a support of the proposed constitutional amendment by de? priving the government of the monetary re? sources which give it cohesion and are its only solid strength. Mr. Memminger is persuaded that no other , ?peaceable remedy can be made available, and lie indicates tbe manner in which Gov? ernor Scott and bis colleagues may prepare the way for amending the constitution, and may lead the whites to await, in patience, the permanent redress of their wrongs. Upon the face of it, there is no reason for hoping j that the Radical leaders will consent to a proposition which will drive them from place and power. Nor does it seem likely that the negroes will vote to deprive the majority of their race of the suffrage. But the negroes are under the thumb of their leaders. It is 1 only necessary that these leaders should rac- , ommend the amendment, and the amend mendment will be made. And, as the amend? ment could not go into effect for two years, and as, until that time, the present leaders would expect to bold undiminished sway, and as a refusal to meet the whites on the broad platform of right and justice will, in the opinion of our most staid citizens, lead to an utter breaking down of the financial machinery of the government, or to an ac- i tive resistance which will force the Federal < Government to take military possession of the State-the Radical chieftains, when they , survey the field, may be willing to accept the j lesser of two evils, and so avoid the dangers which BOW threaten all who are prominently connected with the Radical .Government of the State. \ The State Debt aad thc Prosperity of i . Charleston, 4 A special meeting of the Chamber of Com? merce will be held at 2 o'clock this day to 1 consider the financial condition of the State * ss affecting the commercial interests and prosperity of Charleston. The subject is one I which concerns every member of the Cham- 1 ber. It is necessary that their action should . be firm, temperate and conclusive.- We hope, therefore, that the attendance will be large,.and that the deliberations and deci? sions of tbe meeting will be worthy of a body which represents nearly the whole of the commercial capital of Charleston. The Military Dictator BUI. The new Ku-Klux bill introduced in the United States House of Representatives, on Tuesday last, gives the President and the United States officials absolute and irre? sponsible control of the lives and fortunes of the people of tbe South. Under the provis? ions of this bill, no white man will be 'safe from arrest It is ; 'rag-net whose meshes are small enough to hold securely every citi? zen who is suspected of wrong-doing, or is supposed to be the accomplice of a person accused of crime. And, in order that a fair trial may give the accused no chance of escapiosr, it is explicitly stater." that any- of fegjce begun in oue district and completed in another may be tried in either district. A Bill more barbarous, or more dangerous to civil and political liberty, waa never brought before the Legislature of a constitutional 1 government This bill must cause Thad. Stevens to chuckle in his grave. We regard the Ku-Klux Bill as a desperate i effort on the part of the Radicals, to stem the tide of Democratic triumph. A revola- 1 tion in the South-real or manufactured- ? would go far to strengthen the administra- , tion, and to secure the nomination and elec- i t ion of Gr .ot ia 1872 This is what he i3 l driving at, add we may rest assured that he will stick at nothing in the endeavor to bol- ( sterup his tottering party. The cold-blooded soldier of. Spottsylvanla and Cold Harbor 13 willing, and ready, to make new Slaughter pens in every State of the South. Surely the people of the North and West, J whose turn will come next, will resist, t through their representatives, this last effort I to erect the throne of the Dictator upon the rains of the Constitution. The financial work of the Radical State Government of South Carolina, can be told in one paragraph. .v^Wbile the value or taxable property is re? duced, by the war, from $500.000,000, in gold, to $183,000,000 in currency, the debt of the State is increased from $5,000,000 to at least $16,000,0000, and tho taxas^ due in one year/are raised 'from $600,000 to $4, 000,000. . Th? Constitutional Convention. The Radical organ published in thia city speaks as follows of the Constitutional Con? vention proposed by Mr. Memminger, In his letter to Governor Scott : "Without seeking to go to the bottom of the mighty questions which Mr. Memminger'a plan suggest, we would say that we are heartily In favor of a convention. While we think lt alto? gether unlikely that?the poor, and Ignorant white and colored citizens would consent to forego their privileges, for not only ls power Bweet, but the absence ot power breeds fear; while they would look with too many misgiv? ings upon the near or remote future; while we think il; unlikely that the people would consent to the precise settlement Mr. Memminger pro? poses, still it is clear that a convention might easily correct many of our evils, and mighty perchance, reach the seat of the very worst of\ our diseases. We favor the call of a conven? tion. What say the people ?" Tbe Louisiana Protest^ The following is the text of the formal no. tice given by the property-owners and tax. payers of New Orleans that they will not be responsible for, and will resist the payment of, the unauthorized debt of the State of j Louisiana. In South Carolina, we jnust first ascertain what is the nominal debt. We can then tell what is the legitimate debt of the Slate: "NEW ORLEANS, March 18,1871. "The undersigned property-owners and tax? payers of. tbe City of New Orleans, satisfied that the State Legislature hae, at Its last ses? sion, exceeded its power in the loans, endorse? ments and other obligations and grants au? thorized on the part of the State, the total amount of which is limited, by the recent amendment to tbe constitution, to $25,000,000, (incurred already) as shown by the annexed official statement of the auditor, take this early opportunity of notifying bankers, bro? kers and dealers in securities, In this country and Europe, that they consider all such loans, endorsements and pledges aa null and of no value; that they will sustain the authorities in resisting their Issue, and If Issued, will, by every legal means, endeavor to prevent the payment of any Interest or principal, or of any tax levied for that purpose. They only recog? nize" the State debt proper,' amounting to $25, 021,734 40, as shown In the accompanying ex? hibit of the auditor, and they class the 'ac? cruing debt' with. the. illegal legislation pre? viously referred to.", ill ci rr ico. .WELLING-COLLINS.-On the evening of the ?3d Instant, at the residence or the bride's mother, by the Rev.

STOMACH BITTERS aa ? specific for recruiting the enfeebled body and cheering the desponding mind, has passed into a proverb. In the United States, where this marvellous tonic has borne down all opposition, and eclipsed all rivalry, the demand for it has annually increased In a heavier and heavier ratio for years, until, at last, the regu? lar sales -of this preparation exceed those OT all other stomachics co ai bl Bed, Eminent members of the medical profession and hospital Burgeons with? out number, have candidly admitted that the pharmacopoeia of the faculty contains no prescrip tlon that produc?s snob, beneficial effects in dys? pepsia, general debility and nervous diseases, as Hostetter'S Bitters. To asa the language of a ven? erable phj slcian'of New York, "the Bitters are the purest stlmnlaut and the safest tonic we have." But the uses of the great vegetable antidote are much more comprehensive than such praise would Imply. As a preparatory antidote to epi? demic disease, a genial ?timulant, a promoter of constltoUonalvigor, aa appetizer, a stomachic, and a remedy for nervous debility, no medicinal preparation lias ever attained the reputation of H os tetter's Bitters. It ts -the household tome-of the American people; and to all human probabil? ity will be so for centuries to come. The mag? nates of science recognize Its merits; and that lt is emphatically the medicine of the masses, ls proven by its vast and ever increasing sales. mar26-6pac j_ DE. CURTIS ON " MANHOOD."

WILSON k BROTHER will Issue at an early day a Catalogne af the FINE GROCERIES with which their establishment ls stocked. But at present they desire to eau attention more especially to an extract from "The Americas Grocer,*' relative to the great Tea swindles whick are now being foisted upon the American peo? ple. All lovers of Tea should persse tue remarks of the editor of the able Journal from whloh tho extract is taken, and be warued in time. Referring to the large Tea Companies of New York City, the writer says: "I have now In my possession a sample of bogus Tea, without one single leaf of the original Chi? nese Herb to adaltera te lt with. It was made for a Monster House, sold to a Monster House, used by a Monster House, aud distributed by the base, co rr opt myrmidons of that self-same Monster House throughout the United States of America to do lt* deadly work of gradually poisoning the free, yet unprotected, people of your Great Re? public." The citizens or Charleston wbo wish to avoid using the poisonous compounds, too often sold under the name of Tea, should take the precau? tion of purcnaatug only from responsible houses, which have au established reputation for dealing in PURE TEAS. For PURE TEAS, of ali qualities and prices, go to WILSON A BROTHER, Grocers, Anson and Society streets. JES* AB Goods delivered free.
