COLUMBIA. Tuesday Morning, July 23,1867. Con ncc t teat-Cen trail int lon. In a recent letter written by tbo Rev. Dr. Bacon, a prominent radical, of Connecticut, he says: "Tho people of Connectiout aro further, to-day, from striking the disgraceful word ont of their Consti? tution, than they were six weeks ago; and their unreasoning opposi? tion to the change will be moro and more confirmed if they find it identi? fied with the policy of centraliza? tion." Of coarse, the "disgraceful word" reforrod to is "white," which word tho people of Connecticut will nol erase froba their State Constitution, notwithstanding all tho efforts of thc Republican party. In thia lotter, moreover, Dr. Ba con ?8 down on Sumner's propositioc to force negro suffrage upon all thc States. Upon this point, he says: "A few years' oxperionce of elco tiona conducted by authority and under regulntiona proceeding fron tho seat of tho National Governmonl would convince Ignotus himself (t writer opposing him) that thc de? struction of tho reserved rights o tho States, and the consequent cen tralization of power at the nntiona capital, is identical with tho aubvor sion of liberty. "My confidouco is, that any at tempt to gain for the National Go vernmeut power over tho electivi franchise in thc States will result ii the completo overthrow of whatevc party may engage in it." This is about ns good States right doctriuo ns over emanated froc any Southern statesman or writci Tho truth enunciated in tho first c these two latter paragraphs cannu be doubted. Continuod and iuoreai ing centralization of power in any c the departments of tho Natiaual Gc vernment, will most certainly subvei tho true principles of rep?blica liberty, and render all the State nothing moro nor less than eolouie or dependencies, subject to every iii or doctrine that may bo promulgate from the national capital. Tho Ami rican people are not what they hn\ always been represented-lovers < true liberty-if thoy do not check L tho power of the ballot-box this dat g?rons tendency, becoming moro a] parent every day. As to tho prediction contained i tho last paragraph, as it is again ono of tho most prominent repr scntativos of his own party, Dr. ] is evidently alarmed, lest, if this ur versai suffrage is thrust upon tl States against their will by that part it will bo tho forerunner of its d strnction. Thia may bo so; and the conservativo element of tho Nor shall bo found strong enough to si cesafnlly rosist this innovation up State rights, after reconstruction, t re-adhritted Southern States will tb occupy tho same ground as th always did. This is by no means unimportant additional incentivo the Southern people to register a vote in complianco with tho laws Congress. Equal rights under tho Cousti tion, with tho safeguards to 1 rights of tho pooplo of tho sove States which that instrument conf and guarantees, is all tho South c ask for. Wo seo no other way hor people to secure those but by early return to the Union of th fathers in tho shortest and speech way-in fact, tho only way loft them. As Gen. nindmnu says ii recent letter, in which ho takes ground of other Southern goner viz: acquiescence in tho milit bills, ho does so because "tho po that forces them upon us is grei than wo can resist, and utter aud ] inanent ruin may overwhelm us i further resistance against it." rJ last reason-tho probability of u ruin-is the ono which impels ni urge reconstruction and a retur tho Union and to prosperity. -?-???-? A CATHOMCJ CONGRESS TO HE Ci ED.-Wo eeo it stated that Fa Hecker, of Now York, founder of Congregation of St. Paul, whicl composed exclusively of convert tho Catholic faith, intends, with approval of tho Catholic hiorarclr call a Catholic Congress of tho cl and intolligont laymen of the Ur States, to assemble in New 1 next year, "for tho purpose of ac' ing measures for a moro thon plan of propagating Catholio i and knowledge of tho Catholic gion in all portions of tho count; -?? ? ? ? Tho Peruvian Congress has de< a continuance- of tho Spanish wi Union Meeting ut lexington C. II. At tli6 call of tho Executive Com? mittee appointed by a meeting of tito loyal citizons of tho Diotrict, on tho 9th of Ar lost, a large and enthu? siastic assemblage oonvenod at the Court House, on the 4th of July, for tho purpose of eleoting delegates to represent the District in the Union Republican Convention, to bo held in Columbia, on the 24th instant. Albert M. Boozor was called to the Chair, and B. J. Hayes waa appoint? ed Secretary. Tho Chair explained the object of the meeting in a few remarks, whilo tho already crowded hall was being ?lied to overflowing. Mr. S. Corloy road the address of the Union Re? publican Central Committee and tho letter of Gen. James Longstreet, which wero received with ranch ap? plause. Mr. S. Corloy then offered for tho consideration of tho meeting the plat? form of tho Union Republican party, adopted at Charleston, in Moy last. On motion of Judge L. Boozer, tho platform waa referred to a com? mittee of flvo for immediate consider? ation. The Chair appointed as this committed Mr. S. Gorier, Judge L. Boozer, Charles Hntto, Esq., Dr. E. S. J. Hayes and Kev. P. R. Norphlet. The committee retired to consult. During tho absenco of this com? mittee, uddresses were made by Messrs. S. A. Houston, Henry Brooker and Frank Hyler; which wcro received with much interest. Tho committee mado tho following report through their chairman : The committee appointed to examino the platform of tho Union Republican party, with a roferenco to uuitiug with tho same, respectfully report: That they fully endorse tho general principles of tho Union Republican party of tho United States, in its plan of reconstruction of the rebel States to tho Union os adopted by Congress, in what aro known ns the Reconstruction Acts, und recommend that this mooting forthwith elect delegates to tho Convention, to bo held in Columbia, ou the 24th instant, and that wo hereby pledgo ourselves to conform our future action to tho platform which may there bo adopt? ed. The report was unanimously adopted. Ou motion of Charles nutto, Esq., a committee of twolvo were appoint? ed, consisting of Dr. J. N. Boozer, John S. Hendrix, Emanuel Sharp, Charles Hutto, Esq., S. Corloy, Elias Rister, Emanuel Walker, Isaac Wal I ker, Robert Counts, Prank Hyler, William Dawson and Henry Brooker, to nominate delegates to tho conven? tion. The committeo nominated Judge L. Boozor, S. Corloy and Rev. P. R. Norphlet, which nomiuation was confirmed by tho unanimous voice of tho mooting. Tho Chairman of tho Executive Committee theu road their report, which WILS received as information. VOn motion of Judgo L. Boozor, tho Executive Committee was dis? charged, and tho chairman of the mcetiug requested to appoint an? other committee, to consist of twenty members, whoso duty it shall bo to promoto tho interests of tho loyal pcoplo of tho District in tho work of reconstruction, and to call a meeting of tho citizens when necessary., On motion of S. Colley, thoj chair? man of the meeting was appointed Chairman of tho Executive Commit? tee, and ho was authorized to appoint nineteen other members. Ou motion of S. Corloy, the Execu? tive Committee was authorized to j preparo an address to the citizons of ! the District, if they deem it expe? dient. On motion, it was resolved to send tho proceedings of this meeting to tho editors of tho Pine nix, with a re? quest that they publish thom, and that nil other papers in tho State bo re? quested to copy. And tho meeting adjourned, after a very satisfactory and harmonious ses? sion. ALBERT M. BOOZER, Chairman. B. J. HAYES, Secretary. THE INDISPENSABLE GRANT.-On Wednesday, Gou. Grant was iu the city, on his way to Long Branch, where he was to bo welcomed hand? somely by Mr. Seaton and other gon tlemon, and expected to enjoy some short respito from the labors aud tur? moil of the national capital. But ho was unablo to completo this pleasant programme; for just at tho hour when ho was about to leavo tho city in ono direction ho was summoned in another; being called by telegraph to hasten immediately to tho na? tional capital. Why ho was thus suddenly called to Washington is not known, but it has boen conjectured that, from tho attitude of Mexico and Europo, tho call might relato to trouble ou tho Rio Grande; to tho acts of filibusters; to somo necessity iu tho Indian war, or some necessity of reconstruction in the South. Whether any of these was tho real cause, is, of course, all a matter of guess; but ono point of importance is plain-they caunot get on in Wash? ington for two days togethor without Grant. Only his strong common sense can keep straight tho muddled mess and prevent the manifold obsti? nacies and puerillities of the various departments from running every? thing into inoxtri ;ablo confusion, and ho is now practically aud actually doing tho duty of President, Com? mander of tho Army, and Seoretary of War.---.2vew York Herald, 18///.

B. Nash, W. B. Edwards, Wm. Simons. A LEARNED COOTE?.-Dr. E. E. Jackson has recoutly added to his aquariameuagerium a curiosity in tho shapo of a learned cooter-whoso queer antics aro very amusing. Make an excuso, that you aro desirous of obtaining n dose of salts, a blue pill, j or some other equally pleasant dose, and by that means obtain a look at tho doctor's pct. RENEW YOUR GARDENS.-A corres? pondent of tho Camden Journal, whose editor-Mr. Pogues-wo know to be a famous gardonor, says that Irish potatoes, planted this mouth, will produco a good crop by frost The seed may be obtained in digging tho spring crop, by selecting those too small for use, and drying them in the shade for a day or two. Snap benns, pluuted by tho 1st of August, will afford au abundant supply, and auy of tho extra early variety of peas will como in before frost. PLAIN TA T.K.-Mr. Raymond, of the New York Timex, says that "unless tho demoralization which has been going on in tho public ser vico for thc hist ten years can be checked, and that speedily, our whole financial system must utterly break down. For when it comos to bc understood that rogues can ami do systematically escape taxation, honest men will refuse to pay." This is to tho point, and we hope that our in? fluential cotemporary will put his shoulder to tho wheel, ?iud earnestly work to prevent such .. national ca? lamity. THE RAILROAD CONTROVERSY.-Tho | Orangohurg News says: On Wednesday last, an application was mado to his Honor Jud go i llover for a writ of certiorari against tho City Council of Columbia. It seems that the City Council interfered in tho dispute existing between the South Carolina Railroad Company and tho Hamburg and Columbia Kail road Company; and under the plea of abating a nuisance, removed au engine on tho South Carolina Rail? road track, at tho point where tht other road desired to cross. The I spot happened to be in the middle of "Rico street," ono of the imaginary highways of Columbia, known only by being laid down os stich on a map of tho city, but which has nevorheon opened for travel as such. The caso of the petitioners was | ably advocated by lion. Joseph D. Pope; while, with equal ability, the City Council wero represented by Hon. E. J. Arthur, (both gentlemen of tho Columbia bar,) who certainly mado several very strong points in favor of tho municipal authorities of tho capital. His Honor Judge] Glover reserved his decision. This is an ofT-shoot from tho cele? brated railroad caso now pending in chancery between tho rival compa? nies above named.

Shiver, who still adheres to his popular principle of good articles for little money. Read his adver? tisement, and then examine tho goods. SUMNER AND HIS ScnEME.-Mr. Sumner's proposition to Congress is, that pardons shall hereafter be grant? ed by tho Presiden! to former rebel land-ownora, on condition that thoy shall part with a share of their es? tates to their former slaves. He agrees to pardoning, thon, on some terms, says the Boston Post, and that is a stop forward. But he does not insist that the slave thus benofitod shall have been loyal. Tho lattor may have dono all ho could in his way to aid and strengthen tho Con? federacy, as every slave did who stayed on the plantation and pro? duced food for tho rebel armios. That matters not with Mr. Sumner. He asaumos, for the sake of giving a neat shapo to his philanthropic plan, that all the white land-holders at the ' South wero hostile to the Union, and that all tho negroes wero its friends. He is radically wrong, in both re? spects, and hm plan is, therefore, only one of confiscation and agrari? anism. By Tolo?rr?pJb.. |?cpr63sfj/ /or the Columbia Phoenix.] Cable Despatches. LONDON, July 21.-Earl Derby, in the House of Lords, announced the execution of Maximilian. He enid he shared in the feelings of all their Lordships with regard to this unne? cessary, cruel and barbarous murder, which must have excited sorrow in every country.
