"Wim! a Brooklyn ncrchant Knows aktnt the Swindle-Who waa to get thc Odd 343,500 ?-Will thc Ka-Klnx Bill Protect these Birds of Prey. V [From tte Brooklyn Eagle.] The alert, alive and immortal Columbia, S. C., correspondent ol' the New York Sun sur? passed himself In kis letter published lately. He makes the paper ol" which he is the repre? sentative take considerable literary liberty with the names of Stuart, Sutphen & Co., car Eet merchants on Fulton street, on the righo and side going towards the city hall from the ferry, and just two doors lrom the corner ot Cranberry. These gentlemen are well known In Brooklyn. They do a largo business. The Arm is composed of gentlemen who are de? servedly esteemed and trusted in this, city, and no one was more surprised than them? selves at the ?'peculiar juxtaposition"' in which they find their names. * But let us * SEE WUAT IS CHARGES against Stuart, Sutphen & Co., In the Sun let? ter ol to-day. The correspondent.seya that be has just got a glimpse at the bills ior lurnlshing the ?tale capitol ol' South Carolina, and that the furniture was bought, ordered, introduced, ? auAharged for by Mr. John B. Dennis, chair- j man of the House committee*on refurnishing the capitol. The correspondent says-that Den? nis tried to keep bim from looking at the bills; but he sot bold, ol the IQ through a secret: source. "He found them charged to the firm of I Stuart, Sutphen ? Co., of Brooklyn, N. Y., and to the Arm of Nicoli- Davidson, of New York City. Among the Items \vhich the correspond? ent discovered, he enumerates the following : Article. Rea! value. Price charged, i clock.t.$:oo oo $485 uo 1 Clock. 75 CO 475 00 1 chandelier..1,000 oo 3,000 oo 20 mirrors...-....(each) ISO oo 350 00 1 crimson curtain. .-. 1,300 oo l cornice. 865 co 120 spittoons. 960 oo The estimated real value in the case of the article of which the real value is omitted from the above table, is considerably less tMh/i one third of the "price charged" for them* in the same lanie. The correspondent also says that Stuart Sutphen. (moaning Stuart <fc Sutphen) ol Brooklyn,.' have, furnished carpets enough at i'l 50 a yard to flt out every private bouse In ' Columbia." He then goes on to de? scribe sundry diversions of the negro legisla? tors?, and winds up by saying that the whole bill lor refurnishing the Statehouse is $92 500. Believing that Messrs. Stuart, Sutphen & Co. could and would be eager to throw some light on this transaction, a representative of the Eagle proceeded to their store this afternoon . to see and learn what they hud lo communi? cate on their own account. To this end, refer? ence was had to Mr. Hardenburgs of the Arm, a well known gentleman of Brooklyn, and an honored member of the board ol education. Tlie following interview will be read with in? terest: INTERVIEW WITH STCAP.T, SUTPHEN i CO. Eagle. I have called. Mr. Hardenburgb, to flq? if yon were willing to make any state? ments In reference to the Sun statement of the Items in the bill rendered by Captain John B. Dennis, of Columbia, for articles contributed by your firm and others to the refurnishing of the Statehouse of South Carolina. Mr. Hardenburgb. Certainly, sir; but what is the Sun article ? Let me see. Here Mr. Hardenburgh took out of his pocket a Sun, ot Saturday. It had nothing In It in reference to the matter, but the Eagle representative read to him the letter ol -A. P.," in the Sun of to-day, whereupon Mr. Har? denburgh, speaking to that letter, said: In the first place, the Sun says the total cf the bill is $92,500. Now, the bill of this firm is $21,294 69, all told; the bills of Nicol <fc David? son are two, one for less than $21,000, the other lor about $2000 odd. The whole of the bills actually charged by us (that ls, by both firms) is less than $00.000. How $92,500 car be said to be charged, I do not nncierstann. Eagle. Could lhere be such a tbitig as Stuart *<k Sutphen and Nicol t Davidson charging the reasonable' amounts you mention, and then for ihe legislative offl.ers to charge the State $92,500, paying you the face of your bills and pocketing the remainder ? Mr. Hardenburgb. Ol that I leave you to Judge. Tile way of it, so fur as we are con? cerned, ls this : Last summer I was on duly In the store. Mr. Stuart was among the Thous? and Islands. Mr. Sutphen was also away. I wish you to know that those gentlemen had nothing lo do personally with these negotia? tions. Ol' course ihey stand by my action, but it was not their personal action. Mr. Den? nis came to me and showed me an order from Franklin J. Moses, speaker of the South Caro? lina Assembly, and also signed by the Lieu tenant-Gove.uor, saying that there had been $125,000 appropriated for refurnishing the cap? itol. He icanfccZ me to allow him a commission on the order it he icould get us the job. He was chairman of the committee on refurnishing I til* not take at first to the idea of commission. lt was not our usual way. I asked him Uwe would be paid in cash or In State bonds. He said in cash, and all we would have to do would be to send in our bill when the woik was done. After that we talked again about commissions, and finally it was put at the usu? al rate ol' ten per cent, or less. The work was to be done by the 1st of November. I attended to little else bul arranging the articles and get? ting them shipped. They were in and ready on time. I did not get the money as I expect? ed, and I spent two months ol this winter, lrom January 3 to March 3, In Columbia, trying to fet my payment. What bills went In I do not now. Fur fear ol being mls-l''.entifled with such u thing as lobbying, I never went into the capitol but twice all winter, and once was lo see the candelar lighted up. The most I did was to make jut my firm bill, $21,294 69, and lo send it to tue Governor and to Mr, Dennis. I was told alterward thu Hie bill appropriating mouev for my bill, for Nicol & Davidson ?ind foi other'bilis bail passed. I came home with the lollowiug check : IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, JV/ COLUMBIA, S. C., February -, 1871. j >| : To thc Treasurer of the State cf South Carolina: Pay to J. B. Dennis, or order, twenty-one thousand two hundred find ninety-four ?9-100 dollar*, for expenses ol' refuruisning and re? fitting the Statehouse. F.J.MOSES, Attei-t: A. O. Jones, Cleik. Speaker. ] put this check in the hands ol Henry Clews j & Co., New York, ?or collection, and you see ' it is endorsed J. B. Dennie, Stuart .t Sutphen, Henry Clews ?i Co., and Hardy Solomon. The latter is president of the Slate Bank of South Carolina, lt was protested with the statement that uo funds so designed had been appro? priated by the State or were in the State treasury, "lt seems the Governor had vetoed the bill for noproprialions after its pascase. In that bill tue payment of my account and of Nich6: & Davidson lind been provided for. Eagle. So yon have not yet been paid ?' Mr. Hardenburgh. No, sir; uot a cent; not my expenses; not the money 1 advanced to gel the things out of freight. Th J sum owing on the.bili ls 321,291 09. It is a fair bill; a bili wiiicb any one is at liberty to examine our books to see is fair and just. " In regard lo the $92.500 I know nothing; that is nearly twice our bill atui Nicol & Davidson's put together, us I have told you. Air. Hardenburg!! also said that the carpets . be furnished were thu exact quantity which Mr. Dennis ordered; and thc curtain back of the speaker s chair was furnished in accord? ance with tho directions ol Mr. Dennis nud the speaker himself, who were np North last Bummer, and who lett directions with Mr. Hur denburgh what kiud ol curtain was needed. He wont over the curtain item by item-thirty yards of silk fringe al $9 50 u yard; a lull piece ol brocateile at nearly $12 a yur.i in geld; tas? sels a: $l? 50 a pair. <fcc.. all paid for by Mr. Hardenburgh w the New York, market. Tne worst tiling about the case is thai Ur. Harden? burgh paid cash for the go xis he furnished, cash ior their shipping ano. freight, casi for putting them up, and is now denied even the payment ofthe bill, which is just, and the bill itself seems to have been doubled by the leg's lative committee, not lor his benefit, but fur their own. SOME or THE WORTHIES. From the South Carolina papers we learn that John B. Deunis lives in Columbia; is elect? ed a member ot the Legislature from Charles? ton, having boarded at the Mills House a week, in order to be uble to say that he represents the district. It is only fdr to Dennis to say that. Mr. Har ti*mburgh fouutl him all square in his dealings with tym. No one who knows Mr. H., or who ! tries lo deal with him, would venturi on any? thing pot square it expectation cf his co-ope ration? dennis doesn't, however, explain how 'Mr. H'S-Just bill co; swollen up tpc'S92,500.

How the Negro Mob Marched to 3Ian? tiing and Marched Away Again. [From the Clarendon Pres'.] Peter J. Lemon, (colored,) county commis eioner, was found dead in his buggy, at a branch near Fellowship Church,' on Thursday morning, the 20th Inst. He had been to Man? ning the day before, 19th inst., and had start? ed home some time belore sunset. When found he was lying in the foot of the buggy perfectly dead, the horse having re? mained attached to the buggy the entire night, at or very near the spot where the murder occurred. It was supposed that he was shot about or probably a little before sun? set, by parlies concealed in thc edge of the brandi, as tracks were lound in that locality. Coroner James M. Gamble, with a Jury ol In-' quest, repaired promptly to tho spot, but nothing could be elicited save that the de? ceased came to his death by reasons of gun? shot wounds indicted by parties unknown. Upon his person were found twenty-one buckshot wounds, ranging from the forehead to the knees-the large majority of which wounds would have proved mortal. It was a terrible deed and deeply to be regretted, as political capital is ever manufactured out ol' | these occurrences by our enemies to the dis? favor of the whites. There is no evidence as to who thc perpetrators of the deed are. It is true that - the only . ap? proach to evidence which we have up to this moment been able to gather wus from a colored witness (and a Republican) on the second inquest which occurred iast Monday that he had heard a colored man, now a refu? gee from justice, supposed to be skulking about here in the woods, threaten Peter J. Lemon's life. Whether this individual carried out his threat or not, we are unable to form an opinion: but o? one thing we are certain, that Die Whole affair has engendered some bud blood in our district, which, but for the fortitude and promptness ol' the white people in meeting lt, would have been productive ol much evil. The body ol Lemon was burled on Friday on San tee where the deceased lived. At his "funeral lt was proposed by some of tho infuriated ne? groes, upon mischiel bent. Ihut-they would or? ganize a large force and march to Maoning next da}, take the town, terrify the women and children, and insult and ill use the white men on account of Lemon's death. In ac? cordance with tili.1, programme tim ;'ariny of occupai ion,*' led by the valorous Colonel Oli? ver Gailliard (negro.) commenced the forward movement against the doomed city on Satur? day morning. The citizens were apprised very soon ol their coming, and in a short time per? sons in the country were notified ol' the hos? tile demonstrations taking place. Before many hours had elapsed, a number ol white Citizens, variously est ?muled ut from three to four hundred, rallied to the defence of the town, lully prepared to give ihem a warm re ceptlon, but to act on tho delensive un til the negroes should commit the first overt acc. The rurce ol negroes; hearing of the preparation made to receive them, wisely concluded to cull a halt when on. the suburbs of the town, and after some parleying Colonel Gailliard and a squad came In only partially armed und commenced an altercation with one Egbert Nelson (colored R?pubiican ) lor the great and mighty reason that said Egbert was supposed lo be "rejoicing over Lemon's death," and had, moreover, written Lemon a letter to come to town on the day In which he was killed. Upon this slight and un saUsfactbrj evidence it wus demanded that Egbert should be given up to an infuriated mob, which the whites refused to suffer done. Finding that, Republican as Nelson is, that the whiles were determined that he should have a fair chance, and that everything shou'1 'ie done in a legal way, they took their departure, uttering curses both "loud and deep against the town, and swearing that they would come back in greater ('??roe on Un? following Monday and have it .tut, in sucking and laying "everything In ashes, iroin Maiming to Santee. Forewarned was to be forearmed, and long before the sun had reached its meridian splendor on Monduy a large force of Several hundred citizens were under arms in town, under comp?tent officers, selected on the occasion, and again ready to try conclusions with the redoubtable black warriors, who seemed to have an itching lor deeds ol martial glory. But "a change has come over the spirit ot their dreams." They were not us warlike as on the previous Satar day. This time the negroes came in a more pacific way, le"d by a negro uf more sense than Colonel Gailliard. They came this lime with very few arms, and If they had them at all, did not bring them as lar as the church, some three miles from town, where they hailed, and the coroner held another inquest as arranged the previous Saturday, ia view ol further evidence which they deemed they had, but which turned oui a failure. Coroner Gam ble and other gentlemen from town went out, btu found everything more pacilic uncl quiet than we had reason to expect from the de laonstnuions on Saturday. The second In? quest having been held, the party of whites returned to town, and the negroes to their home on Santee, having concluded not to enter Mur.ning under "lue glorious pomp and circumstance of wur." Our thanks are due to our friends and fel 'ow-cltizeus in Sumter, who, hearing that we were in great straits, and a bloody drama being enacted, sent ns special couriers to know if we wuuled any assistance, anil prof? fering several hundred men ai short notice ALL ARO "TX TUE ST.I TE. -Hon.

Instead of pull? ing down, they build up; Instead or assaulting nature, they assist her. Cupping, leechiug, blis? tering, venesection, calomel, antimony, stuplfy lng narcotics, and rasping purgative?, once the favorite resources of the faculty, and now rarely resorted to even by the most dogmatic members of tbe profession. Thc old creed was that disease was something which must be expelled by violent artificial means, Irrespective of the wear and tear of the vital organization In the p rocess. The new creed recognizes the improvement of the general health as essential to the cure or all local ailments. Hence lt is that HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BIT-.
