COLUMBIA. Saturday Morning, November 3,18Sc Repudiation-Relief. The Covington (Ga.) Examiner, in au article against repudiation, says that in conversation a few days since with a prominent and well-known wholesale merchant of Augusta, w ho has largo sums of money due him, thc editor spoke of the agitation of the question of repudiation, relief, Ar., to wliich the merchant replied: "I see no reason that the country should be so agitated on the subject of debts, for, in this section, very little disposition is manifested on the parc of creditors to push their claims, but. on the contrary, they are dis? posed to be very lenient. As for myself, I proclaim it publicly, that any m:in indebted u> mo can be dis? charged from his obligatiou on his own terjns. If he represents that he is able to pay only fifty cents in the dollar, or twenty-five cents in the dollar, or even five cents in the dol-1 lar, I will receive it and give him a clear receipt. And if he represents that he is unable to pay any portion of his indebtedness, without beggar? ing his family. I will give him up his papers and discharge him from his obligation to pay anything. No man who desires to preserve his honesty and integrity, ueed harbor a thought of repudiation on account of his in? debtedness to me!*' This is aj proposition, practicable, sensible .ind plaiu-no legislation re? quired-no agitating schemes neces? sary. It is one embracing a relief tangible and permanent, based upon principles of strict honesty and in? tegrity. Until Ulis rule prevails all ^fcfcv the stricken South, lier energies I* must .be dormant, and the work of recuperation be indefinitely post? poned ;;aml every creditor who docs not adopt this as his leading rule, on the surrender of his debtor's pro? perty, is simply a Shylock in society, an enemy to his country, and should have the finger of scorn pointed at him by every liouest man. The man who waits until his poor creditor makes a few dollars and then pounces upon thc pittance, regardless, it may be, of starving ones at the debtor's home, is a monster among men; and although he may now sit in fancied security behind his pile of bonds and notes, yet the time will come when he or his children, in abject poverty, will curse the day that gave them such a father. The justice of God may sometimes appear slow in exe? cuting its work;| but sooner or later it overtakes the guilty, and the sins of the father are visited upon the second and third generations. Thc Wi ute Bank A ole*. We confess that we were much pleased with tho decision of the Su? preme Court of "New York in relation to the bills of thc Bank of the State. Unless the State" intends absolutely to repudiate this form of her obliga? tions, these notes are worth dollar for dollar, which the denomination of the bill may call for on its face. What security had the comparatively poor bill-holder for the redemption of this papei- obligation to pay? No? thing whatever but the credit, honor and plighted faith of the State. They had no property of private stock? holders to fall back upon, and every poor holder of five or ten dollars of these bills regarded it as equivalent in value to gold or silver. South Carolina has never tarnished hov honor or Slate faith by anything that savored of repudiation, and, although she may have the power now, through Acts of tho Legislature or otherwise, to refuse to redeem these bills, yet this refusal will tell powerfully against lier credit in every stock-market, either in this country or Euroi)e.. Should she repudiate the payment of these notes, she would not be able, and on very proper grounds, to borrow a dollar on any exchango in the world. Her new issue of green-back shin-plasters, dubbed bills receivable, being liable to the same contingency of being re? pudiated, would immediately fall be? low par, as nobody would take a bill that might bc refused payment to? morrow. No; let the State show her hand, and, if she will not pay these notes, let the people know it, and our word for it, their new issues will be rejected at every desk and counter in the State. Another lire occurred in Charles? ton, Thursday night, in the house of Mr. B. J. Hatcher, corner of St. Phillip and Spring streets. Tho fire? men wero promptly on the spot and extinguished thc fire beforo it had done much damage. Tlie Approaching Ginini Masonic Dc. mons? ru? ion In Baltimore. Tho interesting ceremonies attend? ing thc laying of tho corner-stone of thc new Masonic Temple on North ( luirles street, Baltimore, are to tako place on thc 20th of November. The following circular to the fraternity throughout thc United States was issued yesterday: MASONIC TEMPLE, BALTIMORE, October 24, 5SGG. To Ute Masonic Fraternity throughout ike United States. BRETHREN: At the November, 5805, communication of the Grand Lodge of Maryland, the following preamble and resolutions were unanimously adopted : "Whereas the disabilities which of late have prevented that fraternal intercourse which heretofore distin? guished us as Masons are now re? moved; therefore, be it "Resolved, That wc, the Masonic Fraternity of Maryland, avail our? selves of the earliest opportunity to extend a cordial and earnest invita? tion to the several Masonic jurisdic? tions throughout the United States, to meet in tho city of Baltimore, foi the renewal of relations which, though estopped for a time, havt never ceased to exist in thc hearts ol all true Masons. "Resolved, That a committee ol five members of this Grand Lodgt be appointed to make suitable ar rangements for carrying into *eftec the object of the aforegoing." The Grand Lodge of A. F. and A Masons or Maryland having, at : late special communication, fixed th? time for laying the coiuier.-stonc o the new Masonic Temple for the 20tl day of November next, the commit tee of arrangements deem that occa sion most suitable for the renewal o relations and fraternal intercourse and most cordially exteud to all Mas ter Masons, Companions and Si Knights in good standing, an carnes invitation to bc present and paftici pate in tue ceremonies. The committee respectfully ask ai papers friendly to thu fraternity t bring this invitation to the notice o members of the order. JOHN S. BERRY, P. G. M., Chairman Committee of Arrange ments. -<-??-? MOKE RADICAL MISREPRESENTATIO> The fanciful Southern corresponden! of tho New York press are constan tl indulging in apocbryphal statement in regard to the position of loadin Southern men on the subject of tl: constitutional amendment. A day i two ago, our columns contained correction of a Herald misrepresent; tion of the views of Gov. Orr. Tl Augusta correspondent of the Nc York Times writes: "I am informed by one who pr< fesses to know positively, that M Alexander H. Stephens recommem its adoption by the Legislature, ar his brother, Mr. Linton Stephens, ; expressed himself within a few day This latter circumstance isa sufficiei proof of what the cx-Vice-Presidc: thinks, as his brother generally shar his opinion on all leading question I know of several others, of less pr minence than Mr. Stephen^, wi think the Legislature should adopt the day that body meets." Perhaps, the best reply that can 1 given to the above is contained in'.] following editorial paragraph, fro the Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel, journal which reflects the views Mr. Stephens more closely' than ai other paper in Georgia: "So far as we have been able ascertain the sentiments of thepeoj of Georgia upon this important sn ject, we do noL believe that there is single respectable and intelligent m in the State who is willing that o Legislature should give the conse of the old Commonwealth to the i dignity and desecration which a sought to bo put upon her citize through the contemplated amen ments to the Constitution." FROM CHARLESTON TO HAVANA. We are truly gratified to observe, a notice in the Charleston Co uri that the well-known commander the old favorite steamer Isabel is si alive, and that he is in command a fine steamer, the Cuba, of the B timore and Havana steamship Iii This vessel, with the other steam of the line, will regularly touch Port Boyal, to take passengers .i freight from Charleston to Havai and return thc same way. This v be a great advantage, especially importers of - the products of Cubi saving transportation and doul freights. The Cuba will tonch Charleston on her outward trip, alu the middle of this month. THE METEORIC DISPLAY.-Tho rt teoric shower promised by the ast nomers about the middle of Nove ber is, it appears, preceded by p [iminary exhibitions. It is stated the Philadelphia Lt dgej- that for so ral nights past, notwithstanding moonlight, brilliant meteors h been noticed in the heavens, and grand display anticipated this ino will probably not fail us. THE COMINO TROUBLE IN ENGLAND. ; Tlio New York Journal of Commerce is persuaded that a serious crisis is i at hand i:i Great Britain. As the reform controversy there proceeds, blood becomes more heated, till at length it is not unusual to read in the leading newspapers there that not ? only is the dissolution of the present i ministry possible, in consequence of the increasing agitation, but there is ? even danger of armed collision. John Bright, the chief reform leader, said in a speech a few days -, "ago, that "however much we may wish politi? cal questions to be settled by moral means, yet it is no more immoral for a people to usn force in the last resort for the obtaining and securing of freedom, than it is fora Government, by force, to suppress and deny that freedom." The Journal of Cominera thinks: "Language of this character, can? not bo regarded in any other light than as a menace, and when we call to mind tho scenes in Hyde Bark, followed by demonstrations, this I autumn, that have bad no parallel in England for the past thirty years, it is easy to perceive that the crisis now impending is thc occasion of deep anxiety. The London Star (reform organ) says 'no Government can keep its legs for a month which attempts ; to palter with the subject." Without assuming to know what may be the j intention of thc present ministry, the j London Times pleads the forbearance ! of the public. The measure proposed by the late Government was wholly inadequate, and met with an over? whelming defeat. .Something far more liberal is demanded by thc: popularvoice. In some way, the num? ber o? parliamentary electors must bc increased, if the English Government would silence the clamor that daily becomes more boisterous, determined and exacting.'" TRIAL OF THE BALTIMORE POLIO COMMISSIONERS.-The trial of the Po lice Commissioners was continued ol Tuesday. The witnesses summonec for the defence were present in large numbers. The case was continu?e np to 3 o'clock, when the Court ad journcd till ~) o'clock, the purposi being to hold a night session. I was thought that tho case would bi brought to a termination last night The evidence went to prove; that tin boxes used at the late election wer thc same as those used for severa years past, and that tin; boxes for re jeeped votes were sent to all th wards, and that twenty-seven wer returned with rejected votes. Tile witnesses examined wer chiefly those implicated in some infa mom- offence by the previous test i mony for the prosecution, and som rather hard swearing was done. Th following is a good specimen of th testimony: William Lynch testified-Has rt sided in Baltimore eleven or twelv years; is an iron-worker, and ha worked for ten years, off and on, fe Trego & Thompson; was in the arm four years; was a judge of the Seeon Precinct of tho Second Ward; had rejected box and used it, endeavore to get a lower window than the on used, but could not procure one, e: cept in a grog shop, and this he r< fused. When witness came to Bait mere, he was a respectable youn man, but while the present Govern? was Mayor, he became a Know N< thing rowdy, and he drank and g< into difficulties; went into the arni and served faithfully; since his di charge, in 1864, he endeavored to I a respectable and good citizen. FORNEY'S LAST DITCH.-John V Forney7 has the ingenuity and and city of the Evil Ono. Beaten in h own game to embroil Maryland ai tlit? whole Northern country in c? strife, lie slinks away from pub! censure like a detected incendiar An earnest fanatic would either j mad, like Gerritt Smith, when Jol Brown's body was dangling on tl gallow's tree, or be silent. Son might even repent. Bat Forney not honest in anything, ho is simp wicked-so very wicked that hisblai heart can sound no deeper dept! and so he turns from one path malevolence for another. Ho hi fearing legal proceedings, abandon the idea of "drenching the land blood." He even yields the pos bility of a peaceable removal of t Police Commissioners in Baltimoi But this giving way is only a retro to more Satanic quarters. "Eh your Senators and Representative; he says, substantially, to the peoj of Maryland, "elect your Senatt and Representatives," but, if cc sorvatives, Congress will indignant and summarily reject them! He is on safe ground at last; bi to echo the words of the Nattai Intelligencer, "it is a melancholy J flection that our National Legislati should be regarded by any set of m as having fallen to such a degree degradation and corruption that can bc confidently relied upon as t last resort for tho consummation the vilest outrages ever planned unscrupulous political adventurer! FORCIBLY SAIU.-Thc New York | World, speaking of tho constitutional j amendment, says: Looking forward to its permanent ! interests, thc South has far more to j gain by preserving the Constitution | in its entireness, than by a minority | representation in Congress. A Con? gressional minority can carry no mea? sure; it can interpose no effectual protection. Thc South, even witli unreduced representation, would he powerless to prevent the passage of any law hostile to Southern interests. The only protection remaining to minorities is the Constitution. It is vital to the preservation cf their righ ts that the Constitution shall not be? come thc; sport ol' mere majorities, to bj3 moulded into uny shape they please. Let the fatal precedeut be set, that a majority of thc States may dictate amendments and compel their adoption, and the last barrier is broken down against the oppression of minorities. We advise the South? ern States not to relinquish their only safeguard. A reduced representation cannot prevent thc passage of hostile laws; but while the Constitution re? mains unaltered, such laws must be CDufined within narrow limits, or the courts will set them aside. To ex change this solid advantage for a re? duced and unavailing representation, would be to perpetrate a great folly to enable a few ambitious men to draw salaries as members of Congress, better no representation, with the protection of the Constitution, than no protection at all. A Congressional minority is no obstacle to oppressive laws; but. until the courts become corrupt, tin? unamended Constitu? tion is. - -<-?<>-? IMPORTANT Sr IT IN NEW YORK. The suit, against Trinity Church, of New York, .is one of the most impor? tant which has ever occurred in this country. Tin; titles to about 1?0 acres (d' laud, in tho very heart of the eily, arc involved in this litigation. The leal value ul' the land and build? ings is so enormous, us almost to stagger belief. The Commercial says: '.From what we can learn, Ezekiel Hultze was the owner in fee of this property. Many years ago he gave a lease to a mau named Bogardas, for a period of twenty years, at which time the land was not enclosed, nor of any great value. While this lease was in force the elder Hultze died, leaving several children living in New Jersey, all of whom are now dead. Three of these children left heirs, Dr. Hultze, of New Albany, being one, and his brother Brewer Hultze, ot' Whitley County, Indiana, another. The other heirs are living in New Jersey. It seems that Bogardas, after the death of Ezekiel Hultze, transferred the property to the re? ceivers of Trinity Church, who have held it ever since by virtue of a quit claim deed. The contest is between tin; church on one side, and tin Hultze and Bogardas' heirs on th?, other. Who will establish the best claim remains to be seen." The properly hes along Broadway West of Trinity Church, and is co vered with sonic; of thc most, elegant buildings in that city. The churcl has the inside track, being in posses sion, with millions of money tocarrj on tlie suit, and they will contes every foot of the ground. TRABE IX ORANGEBURO.-Tin Orangeburg Times says: The cotton supply has been ven free during the pas! week, the farm era having very generally availec themselves of the good prices nov offered, to pay off the debts incurrec in raising the present crops, and tc lay in a supply ol' dry goods anc groceries, for the coming cold weath er. A large number of wagons ladei with the all important staple have decorated the streets with lleoy bur dens, and we suppose at least $15,001 wort h of new cotton has been bough and shipped to Charleston since on last issue. Although the crop is sinai compared with the production o foamer years, still thc cotton jus brought to market is of good tex ture; well ginned, and readily com mauds a good price. Tlie moue; thus obtained will go far to reliev the pressure heretofore existing, an< enable the planters to buy the. pro visions actually necessary for th next year, as the crop has been ver; small. MILITARY TYRANNY.-Military ont rages arr. still practiced in the South We see it stated in the Houston Teh grapJi; of the 18th ult., that a fe\ days previously, a file of soldiers ar rested the Clerk of the District Cour of Guadalupe County, forced him t give up the key of his office, and too] therefrom important documents pei taming to suits for damages agains one Longworth, an agent of the Negr Bureau, at Seguin. The soldiers, i is said, were acting under the order Di Gen. Sheridan, who is well-know: to be one of the most unscrupulou military tyrants which the late wa produced. Judge Ireland, of the district i which this outrage was perpetrated lias instructed the grand jury of th proper county to investigate tho out rage, and indict the offenders. The Buffalo Courier learns from ar thority it regards reliable that som time ago, before the strength of th Drown's evidence! in the case of th Fenians under arrest was known i England, instructions had been rt jeived from tho Home Governmei lot to resort to extremo measure! ?ven should a conviction be had. EFFECT OF POLITICAL AGITATION. - ! Tho Now York Herald has this to say about, tho effect of political agitations 1 upon thc credit and finances of the i Government: Our live-twenty securities, which ran up to seventy-two immediately after the suppression of the rebellion, and were sustained a long time ut about that figure, have lately fallen to sixty-eight and three-quarters, at which they are quoted in our cable telegrams of this morning. Gold, io Wall street, yesterday, advanced over two per cent., and was quoted at 1-17'.. These damaging effects on our finances have but one origin, and that is to be found in thc bitter and vio? lent political agitations of the radical and copperhead leaders in this coun? try. European people imagine we are on the eve of another great revo? lution, when really thc fight for power between the two violent factions of tho country can do little to retard the rapidly increasing prosperity of the people, or endanger the stability of tho Government. It only damages our morals. Thc same useless and violent agitation serves the purpose of the gold-gamblers at home, and we can sec, from yesterday's market report, how sharp Wall street ope? rators ran gold up, on the strength of the Baltimore political difficulties. The moral can be easily read, and tho remedy defined, by the tax-pay? ing, non-agitating portion of the public. Oui: MEXICAN RELATIONS.-Gen. Sheridan has issued the following important order, addressed to Brig. Gen. Sedgwick, commanding the District of tho Rio Grande, at Brownsville, Texas: HEADQ'S DEP'T OF TUE GULF, NEW ORLEANS, October 23, 18GG. GENERAL: I am satisfied that there is only one way in which the state of affairs on the Rio Orando can be al? tered, and that is by giving the hear? tiest support to tho only Government in Mexico recognized by our own the only ono which is really" favorable to us. You will, therefore, warn all adherents of any party or pretended Government in Mexico, or in the State of Tamaulipas, that they will not be permitted to violate the neu? trality laws between thc Liberal Go? vernment of Mexico and the United States; and also that they will not be permitted to remain iu our territory, and receive the protection of our flag, in order to complete their machina? tions for thc violation of our neutra? lity laws. These instructions will be enforced against the adherents of the Imperial buccaneer, rei 'eseutiug the so-called Imperial Government of Mexico, and also against the Ortega, Santa Anna, and other factious. President Juarez is the acknowledged head of the Liberal Government of Mexico. I am, General, your obedi? ent servant, P. H. SHERIDAN, Maj. Gen. Commanding. The despatch which we have re? ceived from Winchester, Ya., gives but an imperfect idea of tho charac? ter of the address which Gen. Wist delivered at the dedication of thc Stonewall Cemetery. But we have no doubt it was eloquent, and thal his hearers'took from it.new inspira? tion to cherish the past to whicL Stonewall Jackson and the living Lee indubitably belong. We cannot dis? puto over Virginia's obedience to na? ture in mourning her dead, nor agret with Gen. Wise that the cause foi which they died still lives. Mr. Wisc himself may have philosophic doubts upon that point, if his confession.' concerning slavery be truly reported. Yet we shall be glad if one-half the young men of Virginia take the good advice which'the'address contains. [ Greeley. SPAIN ANI> THE POPE.-It is exceed? ingly interesting to learn that, in thc last extremity, Spain has resolved tc stand by the Sovereign of Rome. Ii would be more interesting still tc learn who is going to stand by Spain. As tho nursing mother of Soutli American colonies, Spain has not been entirely successful; as tho nurs? ing mother of the church, she may do better. But that remains to bt proved. Before the announcement of this pious intention on tho part ol her Most Catholic Majesty, most poo plo supposed and believed that bit Holiness could render her Majesty far moro service than she could ren dor him. But perhaps this notioi came of the confounding of tempera and spiritual things, which tho unini tinted are apt to fall into. |iVt?w York Timen. THE DUTY OF YOUNG MEN IN THI SOUTH.-The Southwestern, a journa published at Shreveport, La., in tin course of an article upon tho want; of the South, urges the young mer of that section to devoto their atten tion to agriculture, and thus take th< places of the thousands of freedmer who have left the Southern States oi been killed during the war. It urge; them to prepare, during the coming winter, for the putting in of crops ii the spring upon the rich but idh acres of the South. Says the South western: "We have too many stou young men in the South, shameles: burdens on tho brawn and muscle o better men, who ride tho laborer a: the old man of the sea fastened him self on the back of Sinbad tho Sailor It is time that they were shaken of and made to sweat for themselves."

GONE BACK TO FIKST PMNCIPI.ES. Capt. M. A. Shelton, as will ht; seen by reference to our advertising columns, has returned to thc boot and shoo business. Ho keeps on hand a complete stock of covers for the feet, and from his past experience, is sure to give satisfaction. His store is in the banu building, opposite the Court HOUR?. DON'T LET IT GO OUT OF PRINT.- The only truthful and authentic account of the sack and destruction of Columbia, written by ono of South Carolina's most compe? tent men, al! the! incidents being noted on tho spot at the time. Your children will bc glad to get a copy at any. price. For sale at the Phoenix office. There was a full meeting of the stock? holders of the Augusta and Columbia Rail? road on Thursday. Tho proceedings were important, and everything passed off plea? santly. Messrs. F. Hope, of Columbia, S. C., and Jackson, of Augusta, Ga., wore added to the Board of Directors. We shall publish tlie full proceedings in a day or two. Almanacs aro all the go. Friend Glass, of bookstore notoriety, has also issued au almanac for 1867, for a copy of which he will please accept our thanks. We are likewise indebted to Peter B. for a copy of the model fashion magazine-De moresfs Monthly. In addition to its lite? rary and pictorial attractions, each number contains a fud sized paper pattern. ANOTHER SCHEDULE.-We understand that new schedules of running on the South Carolina and the Charlotte Railroads are now being prepared, and will go into operation on or about Tuesday next. By tho mw arrangement, the Charleston trains going North aili arrive in Columbia about 2.30 a. m., and the Charlotte trains going South will arrive at this point?t 1.30 p. m. This arrangement, as at present contemplated, will continue in operation for six months-an arrangement extremely doubtful, judging from past experience. In truth, there is so much unreliability as to the schedules on these roads, that tra? velers are avoiding the upper route as un? certain. Let us hope, however, that the present schedule will, at least, have six mouths permanency attached to it. IMPORTANCE OF ADVERTISING.-This busi? ness community has never appreciated tho henefits arising from a judicious expendi? ture of printer's ink. Hero is the expe? rience of a successful business house in a distant city. We happen to know that the statement is a true one, every word of it: "In a brief interview with ono of out? most liberal patrons, a few days since, we inquired his experience of the policy of advertising. w o regard his answer as uoteworthy, and commend it to the consi? deration of others. He said the same kind of business in which he ia engaged had been carried on at the same stand for ten years, by one, and nearly ten years, by another predecessor; that these men gave diligent attention to their business, and were sober and frugal, but spent no? thing for advertising. They were just barely able to eke out a living; that ho bought out the concern ten years ago, and began debtor for the whole establishment. Ile felt poor, and only expended fifty dol? lars per annum in each of tho business napers the .'rst year; that subsequently lie increased his expenses to several thou? sand dollars annually for advertising, and the result has demonstrated its marvelous utility, as ho is to-day worth $175,000, and his annual profits aro constantly increas? ing."_ CHARLESTON ANO TUE FALL TRADE.-Tho return of the fall season has witnessed tho resumption of business by many Charles? ton merchants, who have largely contri? buted hy their pc-rsc veranee and energies to the material prosperity of the city, but by nono whom wo more heartily congratulate than Milner A Co. Establishing, anterior to tho war, (by their integrity and enter? prise,) alargo and successful trade, tho gentlemen composing this firm had ac? quired a reputation for skill in manage? ment, which attracted au enviablo patron? age to their house, and which, but for tho financial disasters that ensued upon tho fall of tho Confederacy, would doubtless have made them, in a very few years, inde? pendent of the pecuniary contingencies of trade. But they experienced calamitous reverses, which appear to have interrupted their usefulness only long enough to ener? gize them to the further development of thoir business qualifications and resources. We aro happy to notice that Milnor Sc Co. have engaged and aro now occupying tho spacious building No. 133 Meeting street, where they have prepared facilities and accommodations for tho conduct of tho auction and commission business, to which Mr. John G. Milnor, tho senior part? ner, will elev?te his personal attention. The wholesale dry goods business will here? after be carried on under tho name of Mil? nor, Wilbur A Martin, at tho olJstand, No. 135, where they have now in store a very largo and desirable stock of fancy anti .lomestic dry goods of every variety, and Df qualities unsurpassed by auy which have ever been offered in this market.
