COLUMBIA. Sunday Morning, December. JU 1887. Th? Ia4??trlaU Int?r?t* Pro ?tra ted. It ia becoming too evident, ??en to Republican manufacturers in tho East, and to the party leaden them? selves, that the legislation ol Con? gress has been hostile to and de? structivo of Ifiie industrial interests of the whole country. The National InleUigencer says, very truly, that by taxes and tariffs, thia legislation has waged war against commerce and ship-building, improved machinery, ?cotton growing, and nearly every branch of manufacture. It is a fact, that in nearly every department in American industry, we have been nuable to compete with foreign na? tions in markets abroad. Even the home warket for American produc? tions is seriously interfered with by those countries which, with the ad vantages of cheaper capital, possess the benefit of untaxed raw material. As to commerce, tho report, of Oommissionor' Welles condemns the legislation of Congress and its policy. Ho says, in that ,report, tho foreign commerce of the ? United ; States is being, as it wore, swept from1 tho ocean; and it is reported to the Com? missioner, by. exp?r^^nged 'Sfcip-own-j era in New York, tk*t> "no voyage of an American vessel onn be planned from |he United States to any foreign' port, with tbs reasonable expectation Of profit" Thc official re turn B eliow thar the amount of American ton? nage engaged in foreign trade de? creased in five years over fifty per cent ?! As to tho mia to manufactures by the Congressional legislation and policy, tho folio wing extract from oj Ne*r,York.journal' will be sufficient evidence: "Factories, which' ooet originally nave brought a million when busily engaged in prod?oing blankets for tho use of the soldier in the field, from the cottee wool supplied abun? dantly by Canada, now being knott? ed down under the, auctioneer's ham* mer for little more than a ?100,000; while in wool-growing Vermont, the faimer, who sold his finer grades for seventy-five cents per. pound in 1866, TS ind. And this is no fancy sketehrfor the writer of this article has, within ty week) been shown the actual Boston 'account of sales* at' twenty-eights cents, when wool, clipped from the same flocks in 1865, realized seventy-two cents at the growers very door." .Such is the evident results of the legislation of the party in power, and there is no true friend of this coun? try, of whatever party, who does not ?wish it speedily pot an end to and .repealed. . _ . -THE HUBBICANB IM ASIA.-All the ~way from the Phillippine Islands eome tidings of the wrath of the great tornado. The storm has pro? bably swept completely round the globe, and raged with no less fury in the Asiatic Archipelago than in the ?Gulf of Mexico and the West Indian ?seas. For three days, the town of Manilla was submerged, and in- an .other part of the island whole vil? lages vanished before the path of the tempest, and the inhabitants perished by hundreds in the rains of their homes. It is known that many ves? sels were wrecked in Asiatic waters, but Boine time will elapse before the extent of the damage to shipping can be ascertained. THE MKTEOBS.-Prof. H. A. New? ton, of Yale College, recently ex? plained to the Connecticut Academy of Sciences that the meteors which some people sat up a few nights ago to see, are in a stream 5,000 miles thick, at least 10,000,000,000 miles long, and of unknown breadth. In the thickest portion of the stream the individual bodies aro twenty-five miles apart. This stream runs around an ellipse once in thirty-three years, and the meteoric displays oc? cur at the end of these periods. WHEAT.-We paid a flying visit to the country the first of this week, and are glad to find that the planters of Kershaw have sown largely of wheat. On Lynche's Creek, we learned that the breadth of land sown is muoh larger than was ever known in -that section. On several plantations by whioh we passed, the wheat is up and looks very fine. The farmers of that section are pursuing the right plan-sowing email grain and hiring few or no laborers;\-Camden Journal. A correspondent of the New York Time* thinks that Mr. Seward's reite- J rated alteiupis io "{rat a foothold in the Weet' Indies, ar* a part of the Boheme f# the acquisition of all the Weat India Islands as a {afore home for the negroes* of oar Southern States. The great bulk of the inha? bitants of Oeba, Qt. Domingo, Ja? maica, and adjacent islands aro] blacks, and the proximity of these countries to our Southern coast would make it an easy thing, he says, tb' bring about the migration or depot* Southern seaboard. { The -tropical qumato. ana^ luxurious. soil( ot xth?s? sunny isl#Bi would' ??it them exactly, and they would have a great advan? tage in settling jtywp among; a-people Qf^?b??owb ??MaidfatnMJ| I \ j IThfe^position if ta?ireedpeople of tihe South appear? to give the?Nortty om politicians And poeple a great deal of Uneasiness and anxiety; but we donbfc very much if Mr. Seward ever entertained snob; an idea as making tho purchases referred to for tho pur? pose of forming settlements for the colored population of the South. That population have as strong at? tachments to the country of their nativity as .any other race, as is evi? denced by the comparative small emigration of the whites to Brazil, Mexico and other countries, and the migration of . the colored people , to Liberia, to which country they are "taken without, cost, while the whites had to bear the whole expenses of emigration themselves. No, all the Scjrrthern freed people heeded to make them happy and contented in their old homes, on their native soil, was to be let alone and not misguided or misled by political emissaries. -Had this course been pursued to? wards thom, the two races would have been harmonious-tho one ss employer, the other ss laborer or mechanic-enjoying his political aud civil -rights as much as they do now, without 1 any political antagonism whatever. We hope yet to see this d?sirable condition of affairs in the Southe n rvE?, HORRIBLE BARBARITIES BX AN AFRI? CAN KING.-The latest news-from Abyssinia developes King Theodore in a still more blood-thirsty ;aspect. j Ho had made an expedition to the small Island of Metrata, in the Lake Tana, and put every inhabitant to death by fire ; then he nvido a trip to If ag, a flourishing town in. Foggara, seized 1,500 peasants, placed-them in five large houses and bumed them alive. It is said there is now not a single man, woman or child, alive, between Deb?a Tabor and. Emf rae, on the borders of De mb ca. In the Camp, his Majesty has been pursuing Che same game. Having heard. that 2,000 of his troops wished to desert, he had them surrounded by the others and their throats cut like cat? tle; the mothers, .wives, children and nearest relatives "of the men being pistoled by the soldiery. 265 chiefs of districts have had their hands and feet but off and have been left to starve. It is designed to convert into a negro high school the building in Richmond which was occupied by Mr. Davis as a private residence during the war. The building is the property of the city of Bichmond, bought and paid for with its money. Columbia 'Board of Trade.

By Babing? ton White. New York: Harper & Brothers. Circe belongs to Harper's ever popular "Library of Select Novels." The plot of tho story is after the order of the much-admired d.uma, "Marble Heart." It will be read with interest, and perhaps actual profit-iu the lesson which it incul? cates. We give the epilogue to the work: Is there any moral to this story ? To the mind of the writer, yes ! Is not the history of Laurence Bell a protest against the worship of the sensuous in ari? .As Helen is sup? posed by some critics to be the type of ideal beauty, pure, unchangeable, deathless and undefiled; so may Giu? lia d'Aspramonte be taken as the typo of aensnous loveliness, enervating, fatal, deadly. Unhappily, all the tendencies, of the present age lean to the indulgence in a passion for sen? suous beauty. In the .unbridled luxury of cspdern life, in the- ex? travagance of modern costume, in the painted face and artificial chevelure ol modern beauty, one perceives the same influence. " *Ahd why not ?" cries the kindly optimist; "the age has become artis? tic, and this love of splendor and color is no doubt inseparable from the love of art." "Ah, surely not] Surely in the religion of art there is a higher and purer form of worship than that which begins and ends at the feet ol earthly beauty." J. J. McCarter, Esq., has furnished us with the above work. TOURNAMENT-AK EXCELLENT IDEA.
