Thanksgiving Day-The Metropolitan Police Bill-A Pretty Conspiracy | Against the Pabllc Peace. & [PROM O?B OWN CORRESPONDENT.; COLUMBIA, S. C., November 30. The exhortations of Messrs. Grant and Scott to a day of thanksgiving -ar.d prayer were pretty generally regarded in ,0! um bia to-day, and lt has been dies non IA the courts and Legislature, except, lnd*ejd, in the lower house ot the Assembly, where an effort was made to get np a meeting ind renew the quarrels of yesterday, which t flort failed for j want of a quorum. The House, it may be re- ] membered, yesterday adjourned until to-day, in disregard of the Thanksgiving proclama" tions, but when the hour of noon arrived the claims of the day proved strenget than even those of trie amateur debating cl ut, called by ghastly courtesy the Legislature, aid the buz- j zards gave way to the turkey. - Among the plots on foot against the peace and comfort of the State, which v Ul be de? veloped within the next week:, rae of the most important ls the movement t > carry the device known as the metropolitan police bill through tbe LeglBUture. Tuis is a trick sug? gested to the Radicals soon after ! heir crush fug dofrat in Charleston last sn amer, and wuich "has for its object the wren ming from the people of that city one of the Important fruits ol their victory, namely, the Millee gov? ernment of the city, and the patronage in? volved ?herein. It ia a device borrowed from the wily Radicals of New York OUy, who, when they got In power In the Legis? lature, duding the City of New - York overwhelmingly Democratic, proceeded to divest Its people ol self-government, and en? rich themselves by saddling on the city a cost? ly and cumbersome set ot state commissions, which Insulted its citizens, plundered its treasury, and opened the door to that gigantic system of fraud, which has recently culmina? ted in such a political upheaval as has never before agitated any American community. To the bad features of the New York plan have been added, lt ls understood, all that was batalu the metropolitan police system ol ohio: both have been adopted with as much Ingenuity as Is pc sessed by Messrs. Mackey, Bowen, Pillsbury, Hen? dricks et al,i to the local circumstances of the case, and the scheme will be launched lo the Legislature on Monday or Tuesday next, Srobabiy by C. C. Bowen In the House and eorge F. McIntyre in the Senate. The bill ls drawn to include" the Olles of Charleston and Columbia, and will involve an expenditure ol about $100.000, with the sole effect of enrich? ing hali a dezen individuals, and regaining a foothold in the now emancipated City by the Sea. The commisioners named In the bill are Willoughby L Pillsbury 1 ! and Hen? dricks ! ! ! fae latter, with ex-Detective Hernandez and a host ol other sore-heads, are here from Charleston, industriously engag? ed lu lobbying in the Statehouse and on tue streets. They claim to hav? the Hor.se secur? ed, and to have received the assurance by the Governor ot his co-operation and approval, but but lt ls said that the bill will inevitably be de? feated in the Senate. Ot the latter body one or twpMwblte members, who have been known hitherto as comparatively honest, have ex? pressed their decided opposition to the bill, on the ground that, however suited such a meas? ure might be to the pecqnJary capacities of | New York or Cincinnati, it was unnecessarily and prepost wusly expensive for such com? munities as Columbia and Charleston. _ _PICKET. SHALL WE REPUDIATE. [Prom the Darlington Southerner.] The question with os. now Is, shall we, on account of alleged deficiencies of our State offi? cials, refuse to meet our obligations ? lp no system ot logic do two wrongs make a right. We have our duty to perform regardless of "the delinquencies ol others. Repudiation wilt not add much to the honor of our State. Neither eau we advise our people to refuse to pay their taxes, until an exhibit ls made of the entire liabilities of the State, and until we have some certainty that the money will be properly spent. It is clearly our duty to pay eur taxes when due, and no sophistry can relieve us of this obligation. We shall have the conscious-, ness of having performed oar duty by so doing, and, however derelict others may be, we shall not bo in fault. AN EMINENT AMERICAN NATURALIST. W [From the London Spectator.] America bas lost one of her greatest nata radsts. Dr. John Edwards Holbrook, one of | the most eminent zoologists and comparative anatomists of the United States, has recently died at Wr*?ntbam, In Massachusetts. One who knew him intimately fa vois us with the following details: Dr. Holbrook, born at" Beaufort in South Carolina ia 1795, educated in Kew England, and graduated at Brown University,. ia Rhode Island, subsequently studies! In Philadelphia, Edinburgh, and, Lon? don. IQ 1842 he published a larne work on the reptiles of the United States, with costly plates (mostly at his own expense,) which at that period were only rivalled by Audubon, In an? other department. In, 1824 he was chosen Srofessor of anatomy in the University ot cu th Carolina, and ia later years he was en? gaged upon a work on the ichthyology of the United States, which promised to be one of the frealest scientific achievements of bis country, ut the recent war broke in upon his labors. His beautiful estate, near Charleston, where so many European savana have been hospita? bly entertained, was.no longer a habitation for culture and the -resort of science. Amid the ravages, "however, of olvll war, bis library was spared; and if his oaks were cut down those 1 'live oaks" vt great age and beauty, of which he wes so proud and lond-bis unpub? lished plate? were saved, and will be valued by the coming student. Dr. Holbrook was ex? tensively known upon this side of the water, and was a member of many foreign academes. In his own borne the ciose companion of Agassiz, t tie frlf nd of Pierce, of Treadwell, of Bancroft, his name will not be forgotten lo ? London, where ?-minent names are always best remembered.

[From the Kew Tort Tribune.] It la through no fault of the Tribune that the people have uot been sufficiently warned that carpet-baggers and the Ku-Klux are destroy lng the South, so far as terrorism and misrule can ruin that section of the republic We have been constant in plain exposition cf the two evils which afflict many of the lately re bellions States; add trustworthy speelat cor? respondents have furnished tue Tribune the only Impartial and lucid accounts published of the financial maladministration and partisan violence which have disgraced several of the reconstructed States. In this labor we have had the hearty, if partial, co-operation of the Democratic newspaper?, which have eager? ly copied and made much ot the evidence snowing the shocking financial condition of these States, but have been suddenly silent when our correspondent's researches brought to light the barbarities and atrocities of the Ku-Klux. No party can afford to pursue this policy; and it is not creditable to the fairness or the sagacity of the Democrats. North and South, that they have steadily refused to look on one side ol the truthful picture presented, while the other has been persistently and tri umpbantly held up to public view. The Dem ocrutlc journals have been s wilt to denounce carpet-baggers; but have stopped there. Nev ertfceless, there has been a great shaking among the thieves and murderers. This is a time for inquisition lor blood and thefts; and If there are men anywhere holding power for the purpose of stealing, or sheltering robbers and violent men, they may take warning; the day ot reckoning is at hand. We have already helped to bring to light the misdeeds of some men lu high places in Texas, Georgia, North Carolina and elsewhere, Bnd on yesterday gave the public a sorry pic? ture ot the results of carpet-bag rule In South Carolina What a shameful exhibit lt is ! By higgling with figures aod manipulating art? fully contrived tables, a ring of adventurers kept the people ot South Carolina as com? pletely in the dark about the finances of the State as though their false returns had been printed in Sanscrit. They prophesied smooth flings while the ship was drifting into the whirlpool of bankruptcy. They lied about the :ondli iou of the treasury regularly and At fixed intervals, with all the system of practiced mountebanks. Bonds were printed In New fork by the ream and sold in Wall street for tr hat they would fetch. A so-called Staie igenr, a street broker, handled millions of Lheae bonds, without giving a shadow of re iponslble security for the Integrity of his deal? ings.. The governor, treasurer and comp? troller-general vied with each other In fabri? cating statements Intended for the public eye, while the real tacit and figures la the deeper ite case were kept la the secrecy ot their own jfflces. There seemed to be no such thing as sounding bottom In the wild stream which rushed out of the State treasury. An investi rating committee, appointed by the frightened Legislature, came up to New York to look j | nto the finances of the State, which had no ipparent existence outside ot Wall street; and 11 .hese gentlemen turned their tour Into a hoi! lay trip, and relaxed the stern justice of their i < nient Into a wild junketing at an up-town I ( ?otel.

A WAR WITH SPAIN. GENERAL GRANT I'LA TINO HIS TRUMP CARD. Three New Candidate? for President Reorganising the Local Democratic Party-The Sorrows of the Tammany Boase*-Intei nul Wrangles of the Re? formers-Seventy Ardent Office-Seek era-A Ii ii?, Fisk and the Small-pox The Tribune Denounces the Columbia Ring. ' [PROH OCR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] NEW YORK, November 29. Xbe simultaneous retirement of Minister Sickles from the court of Spain, and the dis? patching of Admiral Lee's fleet to the coast of Cuba, creates some uneasiness In commer? cial circles. While nobody knows exactly what the trouble ls about, everybody is satisfied that Mr. Grant would be glad, during the next political campaign, to engage the country in a small war, In wh ch victories would be easy, and the people would be forced to rally around their government. A war with Spuln, for many reasons, would be a popular one, but chiefly because Americans, almost without ex? ception, sympathize with the Cubans in their struggle tor Independence, and because their Indignation is aroused repeatedly by the mur? der of prisoners in cold blood by the Spanish troops and Havana volunteers. Such a mob of wretches as the latter bas not Incensed hu? manity since the dark ages. It almost seems proper that civilized nations should Interfere lu Cuba, and by wholesome retaliation bring the Spaniards to their senses. It may ,be tint Grant will play his trump card In a Spanish war. Perhaps he has had lt In his mind for a long time, and has been hold? ing back ior the proper moment What a prestige it would give his administration, If, during the pendency ot the Presidential elec? tion, an American fleet should level the Moro, an American army (under pet Sheridan, of Bourse, Sherman bas been seat off to Europe,) should assault and capture the Havana, and Juba should ba wrested from Spain and an? nexed to the United Slates ? Where would civil service reform, revenue reform, the new ieparture, Carl Schurz and his third parly, md i he complaints ot the President's nepotism tod Incapacity be iu the midst of the hurricane )f popular enthusiasm which such mlll'ary Humphs would arouse ? The newest opposition candidate for the Presidency, suggested In this quarter, is t he referable William Cullen Bryant, poet and editor or the Evening Post. The idea of rifn llng Bryant for the Presidency Is rather more aociful than serious, for he ls a very old man ind even In Infirm health. Unlike most poets, ?owever, be has an eminently practical side. Ie is as good a political economist and statlB Jclau as weaver ol romantic thoughts In rene, and as a statesman has lew peers In or mt or public life. He ls likewise a born Dem c-crat, and has been In accord with every prin? cipal of the party, except those connected villi the slavery Issue. Another possible Presidential candidate ls Samuel J. Tilden, chairman of the New York Democratic State committee, and the real eader of the recent reform .movement against rammaoy. TUdeu's triumph has given him a lational reputation, dud he goes into the new legislature to become the most conspicuous character in lt. Yet with all his force and ibility he does not carry heavy guns enough ora Presidential candtdate against Grant, liter all be is but a local-not a national ?ero. He would make a magnificent Demo sratlo President though. Charles O'Couor IB also proposed by sundry ournals Inside and outside the city, chiefly on kCcouQt of the part he his taken In destroying tammany. His return to the surface cf poli ics reminds people ol bis spot less character, if his great learning and abllitle?, of his calm, udlclnl mind, of his resoluteness, experience md wonderful capacity for hard work. He' vould be a President worthy of the better lavs of i he Bepublio. But alas! he has two ilemente of unavailability. He la a Roman Catholic, and his faith would be adroitly used iy Radical politicians to arouse a religious flt latlcism ia the North which would be fatal to ila prospects. He made a strong speech In he New York Academy of Muaic In 1859 in' avor of "slavery," or what he called "the lateral subordination of the Inferior lo the uperlor race." Were he a candidate that peech would be published by the Radic?is as i campaign document. There are many Radi? cals ol high standing in the party of course rho used to believe tn "slavery" as earnestlv LS O'Conor. The difference, however, la, that hey recanted, while O'Conor sticks to his old ion viciions still. An attempt wilt be-made this week to reor cauize tbe Democratic parly ot the city and State. A meeting of prominent Democratic carty managers, who have not been Identified ?Ith Tammany Hull, ls to be held and the mat? er talked over. Among the reorganizers who will take part are Tilden, Otiendorffer.'of the Merman paper, Ben. Wood, Edward Cooper, Peter's son,) Max Goeppe, another leading berman, Jimmy O'Brien, senator elect. Judge Brady. ex-Dlstrlci-Attorney Courtney, and Comptroller Green. There has been a move nent started also for ihe purificat ion and re >rganlzalion of Tammany. The disposition imong the Reform Democrats, titougn, ls to lave nothing whatever to do with Tammany, fhe name stinketb. Through no laut of its )wn, but through (he wickedness of its guar llans, lt has been dragged in the mire and 'orevcr stained. Better let the word drop out cf politic? und let ihe Tammany Society re? mine its original character, that of h social club of merobants and master-mechanics. ? The troubles of the members of the lato lng are not ended. At this writing, the un 'ortunate Dick Connolly ls still at the New fork Hotel, in custody of a deputy BherlO, mable to procure the full amount of $1 000, )00 bail. He has luxurious apartments, and Us personal friends flock to see him, aud imoke his cigars and drink his wine, but he leems to realize his humiliation keenly. The report ls that Mayor Hall und Mr. Sweeny will ilso be arrested at the Instance of tho com? mu?e of seventy, and subjected to the same >rdeal. In the meanwhile; the victorious Be ormers are getting up a series of brisk fights imong themselves. Jimmy O'Brien denounces he committee of seventy, the Tribune and rimes are throwing mud at each other, and a arge number of the seventy are scram blina or office. If lt were not for Tilden and 3'Coner, lt is probable that the Reform move nent would go to pieces, or m er,; o with the Republican organization. -The rank and file of he politicians in "Ihe new party are demo ra V zed by the greatness ot their triumph. The other current topics of Interest may be m m marlbed in sentences. Alexis saw the fire c-rlgade go through its evolutions yesierdav, ind last night attended the naval ball in Brooklyn. He enjoys the cold snap-lt puts ilm so much in mind of home. The Fisk and rosie Mansfield lawsuit grows more piquant ind Indecent dally. The correspondence will eventually Bee the light and be spread before he public In the newspaper?. Imagine the feelings of Mrs. Fisk and Mis. Stokes. The brmer bas been sent by her husband on a tour brough Europe. The small-pox is spreading iver the city and a panic 1B Imminent; Dr. lorrls, the city sanitary Inspector, expresses he opinion that the plague may become epl temlcal. The school children are being vacci lated by wholesale, and the authorities call ipon all manner of people to come forward to he hospitals and undergo vaccination at the molle expense. The comments of the Tribune on the deplo able condition of South Carolina are in a letter vein than anything it has done recent y. WheD the leading Republican p^perof be country denounces the Columbia Ring as 'swindlers" and "liars," and demands their mnlshment, even as the Ring rogues of New fork are being punished, it is a sign that their iwn party is at last ashamed of them and un rilling to riefend them or cover up their rimes any lodger. The Tribune's general llsgust with what lt calls "carpet-bag gov? ernments" must be disheartening to carpct )aggers. NTH. THE BIBLICAL TROUBLES. Nsw YORK, December 1.

The Trouble with Spavin and Cuba Hostile Look or Things-Call of the United States Consul-General for As? sistance-Active Naval Preparations, Atc. The Washington correspondent of the Balli? more Sun writes under date of the 12th nie Official adrices received hy the government yesterday and to-day indicate that we arrin volved in no inconsiderable diffiulty with Spain, whose officials in Cuba have for some time shown an utter indifference to the pro? tection of the life and property of American citizens. 1 he Cuban volunteers there have maltreated Americans and driven them within a recent period out of Havana. This gov? ernment, aware of this, bas repeatedly rep? resented this condition of affairs to the au? thorities at Madrid, but without any other re? sult than promises of early action, which were never fulfilled. Yesterday affairs became so threatening at Havana that the United States Consul-General telegraphed that American cliizens and officials needed the immediate protection of this government. The matter was brought to the attention of the Cabinet to? day, and au armed fleet of four or five vessels have been ordered with all possible dispatch to Havana, to be placed in Immediate commu? nication with the Consul-General. The com? manding officer of the fleet has Instructions, as ls learned from an entirely trustworthy source, in case the Cuban volunteers destroy the life and property of American residents, to demaud immediate apology aod reparation, and il they are refused, to fire the guns of the fleet on the City of Havana. The gunboat Nipsic, now at Pensacola, will leave this eve nlng, while the Terror, there undergoing re? pairs, has been ordered into commission to be dispatched at once to Havana -viso. The Kansas has been ordered from the Btooklyn Navy Yard to the same destination with all possible dis? patch, while the Severn and Nantasket are al? ready on their way to Cuban waters. Admiral Lee, commanding the South Atlantic squadron Is now in Washington, but was active to-day, by orders of the government, in dispatching bis vessels so as to be ready for any emergency Owing to the rigid censorship over the ; tele graph at Havana but little is known here of the immediate events which have compelled the consul ?reneral to appeal for assistance. But the condition of affairs with Spain arising out of the Hornet difficulty and the treatment of Americans In Cuba ls sufficiently shown by the diplomatic correspondence to warrant the government lu the startling measures ' it bas ?ken.

TRIBUTE OF RESPECT. - At a regular meeting of the- Washington title Club, held at their hall on Tuesday evening November 21, the following preamble and r?solu .lons were unanimously adopted: We are continually reminded of the uncertainty tf all sublunary things, and of our own mortali ?y, by the scenes dally transpiring around us me arrows of death have been flying thick and aat: many have fallen victims to the ina ?late ircber, and we, In common with but too many of mr fellow-citizens, are called to mourn the loss or i highly valued friend, endeared ts our hearts by peculiar ties. Our beloved associate and esteem Kl companion, H. Willard Sllcox, has crossed the lark river and entered Into his eternal rest. lt has been said that "Death loves a shining nark," and seldom ls the aphorism more strictly : rue i h an in th: case of our deceased brother, rnoagh young In years, he was an example to ethers by th? purity of his life, and his. firm and in com promising exhibition of virtue and manly :haracter. A dutirul son, a loving brother, a kind and reniai companion, he won for himself the affec Hon and esteem or a l with whom he was asa J ila ted. One circumstance connected with his un ixpected and deeply lamented death was or a iharacter so peculiarly touching, yet or so dell iite a nature, that lt caa bB but bare y glanced it, as ls well calculated to excite the warmest lympathy or our hearts, and stir them to their pery depths. How mysterious are the workings or Prov! lenee l "How unseat enable His Judgments, and His ways past finding out !" But lt does not be iooie us to murmur or repine at these dis/ensa? blons, but rather, with patient submission, to bow lown with humility to the Divine behest, with the confident assurance tlat "He doeth all thlugs well."
