VOLUME XI.-NUMBER 1671. CHARLESTON, WEDNESDAY" MORNING, MAY 3, 1871. EIGHT DOLLARS A YEAR. a THE PARIS COMMUNE. HEINRICH HEISE OS" THE RULERS OE THE FUTURE. A Half-Fulfilled Prophecy. Aa illustration of the gift of prophetical in? sight, which has been often attributed to poets, is given by a very interesting account by "E. G." in the current number of the Lon? don Spectator of certain aaticipatloas by Seine of the mad doings of the Paris Com? mune. "R G." writes: It may interest some people to know what Heine, the most gifted of recent Germans, on whom, according to Hr. Matthew Arnold, fell the cloak of Goethe, thought, felt and predicted on the Commune. His letters from . Paris, written thirty years agoto the Augsbarger Allgemeine Zeltung, during his long expatriation, are not very widely known in this country; we accordingly translate the following extracts from them: PROPHETIC WORDS. "Had I lived at Rome in the time of the Emperor Nero, and been correspondent of the .?Sceotia Post, or of the unofficial journal ot Ab aera, my colleagues would not seldom have sneered at my having nothing to re Sort on the State intrigues of the Empress owager, for instance, at my not even men tioning the grand dinners at which the Jewish King Agrippa every Saturday entertained the Diplomatic Corps at Rome, and at, my con? stantly speaking; and on the other hand, of those Galileans, of that obscure gang which, consisting chiefly of slaves and old women, dreamt away its vapid existence in visions and struggles, and was repudiated even by the Jews. My well-informed confrerers would of a certainty have smiled particularly ironi t cally if I had perhaps had nothing better to 1 relate of the Court fete of Cosar, at which his Gracious Majesty himself played the guitar, than that a lew ot these Galileans were smeared with pitch and set on fire, and. thus illuminated the gardens of the Golden Palace. That was. inded, a very remarkable illumina? tion, and lt was a cruel, thoroughly Roman jest that the so-called bbscwri ni>.d to serve as light to the gala of ancient voluptuousness. But the jest was marred; these human torches scat? tered sparks at which the old Roman world, with all Its rotten splendor, burst into flame; the number of this obscure gang became legion. Caesar's legions, in their struggle with it, had to lay down their arms, and the whole Empire, by land and sea, now belongs to the Galileans. It is by no means my intention here to relapse loto homlletical considerations. I only wish to show by an example in "what a triumphant manner the distant future might justify the predictions with which I have often spoken of a little congregation*" that, very like the Ecclesia pressa of the first century, ts at present despised and persecuted, but which ls spreading a propaganda with a warmth, of faith and a sinister spirit of destruction that also recall thc Galileans' beginnings. I mean the Commune, the only party in France worthy of earnest attention. The confession ?that the future belongs to the Commune. I make it ia a tone of foreboding and of the greatest anxiety, which is not, alas, by any means, a mask. Truly, only with fear J and trembling can I think ot the time when these dark plcture-stormers shall attain em? pire; with their horny hands they will break untuoso marble stat u?3 so dear to my heart; they will shatter all those fanciful playthings and gewgaws of art which poets loved so much; tney will cut down my laurel groves and plant potatoes there; the lilies, which neither spun nor toiled, and yet were as gor? geously arrayed as Solomon in oil his glory, will be uprooted from the soil of society, un? less, forsooth, th?y take a spindle in hand; the roses, those lazy brides of the nightingales, will Incur the same late; the nightingales, useless songsters, will be expelled; and, ah I my'Book of Songs'will serve the grocer for naper bags to pour coffee or snuff into for the ola women of the future. " Nevertheless, I frankly acknowledge this same Commu? nism, that ls opposed to all my Interests and inclinations, exercises a spell on my soul from which I cannot free myself; two voices in its favor rise in my breast; two voices that will not be silenced, which per? haps are, after all, only diabolical instigations -but, be that as It may, they master me. and no power of exorcism can overcome them. For the first of these voices is the voice of logic. 'The devil ls a logician,' said Dante. A horrible syllogism entangles me, and if I cannot refute the pro? position, 'All men have a right to eat,' then I am forced to submit to all its consequences. When I reflect on this I run the risk ot' losing my senses; I see all the demon? o? truth danc? ing round me lu triumph, and at last the high souled despair ol my heart seizes on me, and I cry out, Mt is tried and condemned long since, this old society. Let it nave its due Let this old world be destroyed, in which In? nocence was overridden, in whick selfishness prospered so famously, ia which "man was preyed apon by mah! Let them be utterly overthrown; those whited sepulchres on which falsehood and flagrant injustice sat enthroned J And blessed bo the grocer who will one day make bags oat of my poetry to pour coffee or snuff into for the good, honest ola wemen who, in our present unjust world, woald have to go without these luxuries. Fiat justifia, pereas mwui?s! The second of the .commanding voices that held me nrlsoner ia still more pow? erful and devilish, than tue first, for it is the voice of hatred, of the hatred I bear to a party, Of which the greatest opponent ls Communism, and which, therefore, Ls a common enemy of | ours. I speak of the National party in Ger? many, those false patriots whose patriotism consists only in a stupid aversion to foreigners and neighboring nations, and who daily pour out their gall on France especially: all my life long I have loathed and combated them, and now that my sword is sinkinjr from the grasp ol a dying man, I feel comforted by the conviction that Communism, which will find them the first thing in Its path, will give them the coup de grace; and by no blow with a club assured? ly, bul by a simple kick, the giant will crush them, as one crushes a wretched worm. That wul be its first step. From hatred to the rep? resentatives of? nationalism. I could almost feel affection for the Communists. At all events, they are no hypocrites, with religion and Christianity constantly on their lips; the Communists, In truth, have no religion (no? body ls perfect;) the Communists are even atheists (which certainly is a great sin,) but they acknowledge as chief dogma the most absolute cosmopolitism, a universal love for ali peoples, on equality of possessions, and a brotherly relation ot all men, the free citizens of this earth. This fundamental doctrine is the same as the Gospel once'preached, so that, In spirit and in truth, the Communists are far more Christian than our so-called patriots, those narrow-minded champions of exclusive ' nationalism." M. THIERS. Heine hits on the Vendome Column as the first victim to Communistic fury, and speaks of M. Thiers in what seems almost prophetic language : uThe miad of M. Thiers overtops every intelligence around him, though there is more than one of lofty stature among them. He ls the cleverest head in France, although lt is reported he says so himself. Hu can speak from morning till midnight unweariedly, con? tinually putting forth new brilliant thought, flames of Intelligence, delighting, instructing, dazzling the hearers; fire-works, so to speak, of eloquence And yet he concelyes rather the material than the ideal requirements of mankind; he perceives not-that last link by which earthly phenomena are attached to beaven; he has no understanding for great so cial institutions. In one ol hts recent speeches he owned, with almost simple candor, how little he trusted the immediate future, and how every day was a respite. He has a sharp ?ar, and already distinguishes the howling of the wolf Fenrl, auaouaclog the kingdom of Hela. Will despair at the inevitable not some day suddenly impel him to over-violent meas? ures?" This, and much more in the same strain. Heine wrote in 1340. Hall of what he foretold has already happened; the future must show how tar he ia right in his main point, the final triumph of the Socialist Party. A NATIONAL POLICE. ST. LOOTS, July 6. The chief of police, McDonough, has gone to Washington in connection with the National Police Convention, to meet here next fall. After consulting with Secretary FiBh, with a view to opening a correspondence with the foreign police, McDonough will visit the cities and principal towns in this country, gathering information regarding the police, detective -and reformatory systems. .TOHN BULLS'S DEFENCE. The Prospective Annexation (?) of En? gland to G?-rm a n y-The London Times on -Trutz-BaunvcroH's Letter. The London Times comments as follows on the letter to the Allgemeine Zeitung which we have already laid bet?re our readers : The cleverness of the satire is that it is a cento of fragmentary facts; nevertheless, so pieced together as not to betray their patch? work character. As auch, lt will amuse the most ardent English lover and admirer of this country quite aa much as it can the German outsider, incapable of discerning how far lt ia true, how far lt is false. But the German ar? tist, though he can take us as we sit or as we stand, does not seem able to take us as we move and as we change. That Is the very thing he wishes todo, and cannot. We are singularly mixed In our composition and our tendencies; and admit of being described as the very opposite of what the German makes us. There is a great deal of Instinctive loyalty here :o. a sovereign who lo nine out o? ten must be a mere name, and to institutions that press heavily on whole classes. The mass, certainly the most laborious and industrious part ot them, show little jealousy or envy of rank and power. They are proud to have a duke, a marquis, an earl, or a baronet for their master, their land' lord, or the proprietor of the mine, the collie? ry or the docks. Upon the whole, the great fault of the English pf opie ls that they ave not sufficiently desirous to better themselves, to save money and to rise in the world. They Who do make money show generally too little power of spending it, even in a comfortable manner, while for luxury we must certainly go across the channel. As to the degradation and debasement of the working classes, which the German lays at the door of our political men, I he admits the antiquity of the crime; but, be it new or old, we must bear in mind that all na? tions haye their Saturnalia, some of a religious, some purely social, ours of a political cbarac ter. But If there be truth In wine, there may j also be in beer; and our elections are not so fre? quent as to have much share in forming the babita ol the people. The German credits the constituency, base as lt ls, with sufficient in? dependence and power to have not only much positive voice in the. choice of legislators and the making ol'laws, but an almost unlimited negative voice, insomuch that nothing can be done which lt has once pronounced against. As lor the men lt sends to Parliament, we are told they are upstarts, men of money, few Ideas, narrow prejudices, selfish views; but there ls no country m the world where the said upstarts nave sacrificed so much money, time and Interest for the good of the people generally or those belonging to them. Phi- I lanthropy may almost be called the perva- [ ding foible of the British people. Our satiri? cal friend notices our numerous religious de? velopments, shared allke.by Independent mem? bers of Parliament, statesmen and working classes, in order to sneer at them; but his tes? timony remains to the facts, and they may not be the Impostures and hypocrisies he Imagines. In Parliament, the student of British history may miss the intrepldl Sr of Pitt, the pride and scorn of a Cas ereagh, and the irony ol a Canning, but it ls some compensation for their absence that really there ls no occasion tor them, and they would be misplaced. We ure not at war with all Europe; we have not before us the work that Castlereagh did or attempted; and Can? ning's irony was a double-edged weapon not to be handled on all occasions. It is true that we have made great changes lately; and in a period of change proposals have been made, abandoned, replaced by other proposals; and, aa it has invariably turned out, the successful plan has been that most in the interest of the many, be they artisans or peasants. But thia la lite way In which we effect our revolutions, and it will certainly compare With the events which bear that terrible name in other conn tries. Power is passing gradually and easily to a wider basis, and thus far that basia has not disappointed expectations by subsiding under the new burdens. Two reform acts have left\ the conntry very much what it was. But ail these changes bring us to the last and most critical question-the patriotism of the people. The German writer cannot blink the fact that we show what no other nation can show, or ever did show-more than half a million volunteers under various de-1 8crlptlons of land and sea torces; for every'I fir'tlsh soldier or sailor is a volunteer. The line, he thinks, in an emergency will be ill commanded and mismanaged, the militia tarown away, and the volunteers found v. 1th out training or discipline, and incapable of control; while the ships will only sall about, run one another down, and mislead the army. How lt may fare at headquarters we will not now venture to predict. Bo far. however as the aoldler is Concerned, if our German critic can say nothing against him except that cot ton-spinners are apt to be spoilt lor lighting, and that mea taken soddenly from desks and counters have to learn military duties, we need not take his censures too much to heart. About our agricultural recruits he says no th Inc at all. England lets people do what they please, j They ask and have, if not at once, yet by and by. We let our colonies hang to us as loose I as they like, ready to. drop off Indeed. We surrender our streets to processions, and our parks to mobs. There ls no where the strong will, the rod of Iron necessary to Empire/ Germany may smile at the silken threads with which we hold fifty colonies and dependencies spread round the'solid globe; but Germany, with no colony at all, would gladly accept the tau nt with ' the same occasion for lt. As we are the only nation which has colonies on any considerable scale and keeps them, lt may be I fairly urged that we understand our business better than those who have not. The proof of our colonial Empire ia that lt exists, and I showa no immediate signs of dissolution. I We did once try the German recipe, and it failed. Then for our population, whatever London may be,' it presents sufficient at traction to have become the home ol some I forty thousand Germana of all classes, who have not lost their native patriotism even while they still appreciate their adopted coun try. Our social organization has the merit of I receiving into itself many foreign elements, aud if the result la not an empire In either the French or berman sense, we presume lt is not the less acceptable to many thousands ot vol untary visitors and refugees, all of them, it must be supposed, most impartial judges. Ours la confessedly a loose formation. It has been so for we know not how many centuries, and it ls for the c uah ties which spring trom this very source-that it has been an object of I envy and imitation to every nation of Europe I in turn, not excluding Germany. It cannot be altered in a day. It does undergo a cer tain fermentation and development, we readi? ly grant; but lt showa no signs of that utter corruption which, according to this writer, is to qualify it for admission to German unity. I NESTS FROM NEW YORK. A Sad Case of Sniclde-Foster Respited till October. NEW YORK. July 6. John M. Dow, formerly a citizen of Augusta, Go., where it ls reported he accumulated nearly a million of dollars, committed suicide to-day.from despondency. He lost most of his fortune speculating. He waa 55 yeare of age. The grand jury of Herkimer County have indicted A. H. Lah" in, a naval officer of this city, tor perjury. Laffing friends claim that the suit ls malicious. Judge Pratt granted a motion to stay pro? ceedings in the case ot the car-hook murderer Foster, which ls equivalent to a respite until Oe lober. NEWS FROM MEXICO.

Scenes of Excitement, Violence and Outrage. [PROM otra OWN CORRESPONDENT.] CAMDEN, S. C., July 5. Tuesday afternoon, about 4 o'clock, two ne? groes engaged in a fight on Broad street, near Mrs. Crosby's store. Policemen Lewis and S myrl attempted to separate the ?combat? ants and were resisted by one of them. Po? liceman Smyrl thereupon used lils club, and knocked the man down. In a iew min? utes the two companies -ol militia, who had been marc bing about the streets nearly all day, came charging up the street, demanding the blood ol Smyrl, with oatbB,' shouts and threats. They rushed at the Btoreofilrs. Crosby, an aged and Infirm widow lady, sick at the time, and endeavored to force an entran ce at the point of the bayonet. They were calmly and firmly withstood by Mr. Paul Wilson, young Mr. Crosby and Mr. Sin? gleton, assisted by a lew other unarmed citizens. Some of them succeeded in forcing their way in, and not finding Smyrl, some went to his house, broke open the doors and searched the premises. Others went to the town hall and searched for him there, breaking into the ice cream saloon of Mr. Bis? sel in their search. For two hours thls-mob of blood-thirsty savoces raved In insane excite? ment around the door of Mrs. Crosby, holding full possession of the main street, and employ? ing the most violent and threatening language towards the white people generally. Ia the midst of the excitement, our worihy Behool commissioner, that great exemplar of the col? ored youth of the county, mounted the horse of one of the marshals of the day and rode homewards ar srrsat speed. He was followed in a lew mir titea by the chief marshal of the day, also mountea. Opon the return of the school commissioner, it was announced that the mili? tia had been furnished with ten rounds of cart? ridges, and some shouted, "if the white people want a fight let them come on now," ?c. A squad ot, ten ot the militiamen went to the house of Mr. Capel, one of the police, called him out with oaths and threats, and demanded to know if he was the man that said he was willing to stand In Smyrl's shoes ? Upon being answered affir? matively, they concluded he was not the man they wanted, and went o fl". Other persons were rudely and violently assailed during the afternoon, and much anxiety was felt by Ibe citizens in the vicinity. Luckily, or unluckily, the stores were mostly closed, and there were but lew white persons In town at that hour, or the consequences might have been more serious, we can assure Governor Scott that a similar outrage on this peaceful and quiet Seople will not be repeated with Impunity; [easures have ;;een"taken by the town au? thorities to protect our citizens in the future, and li be values the peace ot society, he' had better disarm this brutal mob which helios armed against the whites. Let it be remem? bered that ;hls violence was all directed against the lawful authorities of the town, who vainly endeavored to suppress lt. Mr. Davis, our worthy intendant, and the aldermen ot the town, were on the ground, doing all they could to quell thb.-disturbance. Our people are sorely outraged, and will never feel safe until these savages are disarmed. So mote lt be. * . !.. The negro women were out in full force, and manv contributed to the violence ol the mob. The white Radicals are believed cenerally to have used their efforts In behalf of peace. We hear one of them reported as Joining ia the cry, hang him, kill him, Sec. The authori? ties and citizens have their eye on him. Some of the colored people also behaved admirably. We have our eve's, too. on them. CAMDEN. .SEWS FROM WASHINGTON. Thc Ku-Kloi Committee-No Ku-Klux In Alabama- A. So-called Real Kv Klux Outrage In North Carolina. WASOIN trox, July6. A kennan alone of the Cabinet ls here! The treasury disbursements for June have been over fifteen and three-quarter millions of dol? lars, inclusive of Interest. H. B. Peterson has the contract ton the tri-weekly mall- between New Orleans and Vicksburg. * Judge Pettus and Colonel Pugh, of Alabama, before the Su-Klux Committee, corroborated Lindsay and danton. No such organization (Ku-Klux; exists in Alabama.. J. M. Justice, of Rutherford County, North Carolina, testified that some five weeks ago disguised men came to his house, took him out of bed, whipped him terribly with clubs and pistols, took him to the woods and threat? ened him with death. He promised not to go to Washington to testify regarding the out? rages previously committed in his neighbor? hood. He was confined to his bcd three weeks from his hurts. Justice believed these not mere neighborhood quarrels. He firmly be? lieved In the existence ol the Ku-Klux In North Carolina. NEWS FROM NEW ORLEANS. NEW ORLEANS, July 6. About half-past 10 o'clock this morning Samuel Balney. general bookkeeper of the New Orleans National Bank, while at his desk, waa shot and almost Instantly killed by Wm. Boyd. The homicide was the result ot former business complications. Boyd has been ar? rested. Senator Plnchback, colored, has instituted suit against the Jackson Railroad iorrefuaal to furnish him passage in the sleeping car on ac? count ol color. In compliance with an ordinance of the city council, the administrator of finance refuses to receive any more Metropolitan police war? rants In payment of city taxes. The warrants have suddenly dropped from 9S to 75, and a further decline is expected. A filial case of sunstroke occurred yester? day. YELLOW FE FER AT THE NEW YORK QUARANTINE. NEW YORK, July G. The Spanish brig Integridad has arrived at quarantine with yellow fever. AN UNFOR TUNA TE DREAM. PHILADELPHIA, July 6. Horace P. Robinson, son ol the Third street broher, was shot, probably fatally, by Wm. Barstol, son .of a wealthy sngilr refiner. The youths had been talking of burglars, before going to sleep together, and il is supposed ihat the oct was committed while Barstol was asleep. THE CASE OP BOWEN.-The Long Branch correspondent of the New York Herald writes on Monday: "The young gentleman. Ridge? way, of whose doings I wrote, flourished a doc? ument about the hotels here last Saturday, which he said was the'pardon of Mr. Bowen. He relused to let the papers out of his hands, so I had to accept his word. As the sequel proves, his words was of little worth. Belying upon the recommendation ot a gentlemen who knew this person in Washington as to his character for truthfulness, I sent you the In? formation he gave. The statement proves to be errpneous, or at least premature. The President baa not pardoned Bowen; he hos re* ceived many pet itions and has an armful of ar? guments, but they are still under considera? tion. To all who have questioned htm on the matter he has replied that he will give it full consideration. I think he will decide the fate of Bowen to-day. Mrs. King ls reported as saying that the effect of the verdict in declar? ing her not his wife was early called lo her at? tention, and has had proper weight in regula? ting her conduct toward him since; further, that the case is in the hands of counsel. New divorces and remarriage are, therefore, looked for." ? ALL ABOUT THE STATE. Butter. The Watchman mentions the deaths of Mrs. Leah M. Thompson, of Sumter, and Mr. W, B. Murray, of Stateburg. Newberry. The Columbia Union, of yesterday, says : "Trial Justice Furman was written for yester? day to proceed to the plantation of Thomas B. Wadllngton, in Newberry County, to act as coroner over the body of one Daniel Meadows, colored man, who was killed on the night of j the 3d by a party of disguised men. This ls the person ol whom we made mention in yes-1 terday*s paper as having been murdered by the Ku-Klux. The report that we then men tloned has proven true. From the same infor? mation we learn that the nominations for coun? ty officers to fill vacancies were made on the 4th Instant/' Fairfield.' The Winnsboro' News ?speaks thus of the new principal of Mount zion : "On Friday last (30th June,) the Mount Zion Society ac? cepted the resignation of Mr. 6. A. Wood? ward, who has been offered the choice ot sev? eral excellent situations elsewhere, and elect ed the late associate principal, Mr. M. M. Far? row, as principal ot the school, to succeed him. This ls an admirable selection. As high as Mr. Woodward deservedly stands as a teacher, the school loses nothing in the choice of hlB successor. Mr. Farrow stood first in his class fn the South Carolina Military Academy, and is. every Inch,. an earnest abd accomplished teacher." Kershaw. Of a recent Executive- appointment, the Camden Journal says: "His Excellency Gov? ernor Scott has appointed as auditor our es? teemed and worthy townsman. James I. Ville plgue, Esq. We do not believe a more satis? factory selection could have been made, re? spect being had to the wishes of all parties and classes of the citizens ot the county. We have heard of no opposition to tho appoint? ment except from parties supposed to be in? terested. This actloa of the Governor will be received as an evidence of his sincere desire to promote the cause of good government In - the counties as far as his power extends." The Camden Journal says: "The hot weather noticed as prevailing tor several days previous to our last issue, Eas continued with very slight Intermission through the past week. It has been favorable on cotton, and a great im? provement has taken place In that crop, but we understand that at several points in the district corn begins to suffer for rain. Light showers have fallen In places, but they are too light to be of material benefit." Carn well. The Aiken Journal discourses thus of sales day ia Blackville: "There were more persons at Blackville last Monday tban on the previons j Bales-day, but not as manyas usually turn out, the farmers being still in the midst of the busy season, and the success of the cotton crop depending upon the woak given Jt during the present month. We Inquired of all the plant? ers we could see, the condition of crops - in their respective neighborhoods, and all con-1 curred lu the opinion given last sales-day, that this would be the best season for corn in many a year. We heard of one planter who offered to furn^h, as soon as be could gather it, two hundred bushels of corn for one hun? dred dollars, which would make the price fifty cents per bushel. Wo do not think corn will be that low for more thao a month or two after gathering, and would not advise our planter friends to sell at such figures, though the grain will be cheaper than at any time since the war. Some planters informed us that they had as good cotton crops as they ever had In their lives; but the majority stated that they had planted less cotton than last season, and they calculated upon making about two-thirds as much as they did last year." Spartanlinrg. We learn from the 8partanthat 8.T. Polnler and C. L. Casey, accompanied by detachments of' soldiers, have left Spartanburg several nights recently, and have returned as often. T ?.ere was not a very large crowd'In town on sales-day last, says the-Spartan, but we do not think there was ever tv moro boisterous one. Whiskey shops received more than their share of patronage, and sbowed-n^er^JUtar^ their evils. Mr. M: M. Montgomery died at Limestone Springs, on Monday, the 26th ultimo. Mr. Montgomery was a useful and highly respected citizen, and his death- is a serious loss to the community In which he lived, and a sad be? reavement to his family. A correspondent of the Spartan, writing from the mountains in the upper part of this Stale, says : "The community here have Just concluded the most ample harvest that they have had - for years. Cora ls worth fifty or sixty cents, and very little prospect of belog higher. I have a tew hundred bushels on hand, and the only .consolation I have ls, that that 'ifs a good thing in a family.' We bave fine prospects for corn, fruit, &c. One gra? cious peculiarity of this country is, we have no dry summers here. Nor do we have any hurricanes, or 'storms' as as they call them down the country. The cheese factories are in active operation, but the great mania Ls growing tobacco. I suppose Buncombe Coun? ty has at least eighteen to twenty-five hundred acres planted, and as everybody says, growing finely. I think the excitement will play out this year. The gathering and curing requires a good deal of scientific precision; and the planters will botch it up, get out of patience and quit the business. Another circumstance that will prejudice the mind of the planters is, that the tobacco plant almost literally ruins the land. It roust be raised on lresh tandi to be flue, and after the second crop on the same land, corn or wheat will scarcely grow at all. It has to be sown in clover for two or more years before lt can be restored." THE GREAT YACHT RACE. Loxa BRANCH, July 6. . The yachts reached fie goal in the follow? ing order: Sappho, Dauntless, Columbia, Madeline, Ac. Judges award the Sappho the winner of schooners, and the Gracie the win? ner ofeloops.
