COLUMBIA.
Sunday Morning, January 19,1008.
An lnvMloim IilHtlnctlon. '
Mr. John A. Bingham, a Republi?
can Representative from Ohio, in
his spceoh on the lust bill reverted
from tho Committee on Reconstruc?
tion, repeatedly said that there oro
but two parties in the United States
-ono tho party of the country and
the other of its enemies. Consider?
ing the results of lota elections in
the Northern and Western States,
this, tho Baltimore Sun thinks, is a
very damaging statement. The Re?
publican porty, which Mr. Bingham
considers the party of the country,
hos been thrown ia some of the most
populous States into a minority, and
has everywhere lost ground, so that
it is probably within bounds to as?
sert that it is itself so doubtful of ita
strength iu the Northern States, that
it is placing its reliance for the pre?
servation of its political power upon
tho Africanization of the South. As I
the Trhit? people of tho South are
.uniformly stigmatized as rebels, and
tho radical party in tho North does
not include much more than hali' the
population, if that, it follows -if Mr.
Bingham's assertion is correct-that
tho majority of the people of the
United States are enemies of their
country. As Americans, wo should
bo reluctant to make such an admis?
sion. Doubtless the country has
enemies within its limits, but they
are not among those who seek to
preserve its Constitution, its union
and its civil liberties, as they wero
handed down to us by tho founders
of tho Government.
ATMOSPHERIC CHANGES.-The causes
of certain atmospheric phenomena
havo been discussed by a scientifio
French professor, who maintains that
these causes aro internal. Taking it
for granted that the central moss of
the globe is fluid fire, it is urged that
tho vapor therefrom, acting against
the inner surface of tho earth's crust
by which it is enclosed, will, by ex?
citing powerful electrical currents,
produco sudden changes above the
surface Ho maintains that another
effect of the internal pressure will be
continual changes of level on the
outer surface, so much so that, in
his point of view, there is no such
thing as firm land. This is a very
uncomfortable theory for thc inhabi?
tants of the outer crusts of this
planet, especially in those regions
recently shaken by earthquakes.
G OED AND SILVER PROD COT.-Of?
ficial ligures, from the Pacific slope,
show n steady increase in tho produc?
tion of tho precious metals. The
mint al San Francisco received in
silver, iu November last, 00,800
Ounces, against 59,797 ounces in
October, 34,993 ounces in Septem?
ber, and 51,997 ounces in August.
The increase promises to be regular
and constant. Of gold, the receipts
for eleven months, to tho first of De?
cember, 1807, were950,717.03 ounces,
against 913,068.75 for tho same period
in 1800. The coinage for tho same
timo was in 18G7, 818,195,535, and in
?866, $10, lili,500, showing au in?
crease of 82,019,035.
-?-?..?-?
A NEW PARTY.-Tho New York
Herald, advocating a call for a Con?
vention of thc peoplo of tho East,
tho West, the North and the South,
and upon all mon of all parties favor?
able to the grand idea of a new Union
party, says:
"We want a Convention and a
party fresh from the people.
"But in whoso name shall this Con?
vention bo called? for in a movement
for a new party, it must havo some
name and some representative man
around whom to rally. Let it bo call?
ed in the name and upon the princi?
ples cmbodiadinthoname of Andrew
Johnson. He has boen making his?
tory und a historical reputation since
1800. Of all men in tho country ho
stands forth in tho boldest relief as
the champion of the Constitution,
against tho revolutionary radicals.
He has been tho only check that baa
saved us so far from tho extreme de?
signs of radical fanaticism."
-? # ? ?
TUE DIFFERENCE.-Says thc New
York Times, of tho lGth:
"The colored citizen made his or?
dinary appearance in Congress yes?
terday, lu tho Senate, ho Btepped
forward immediately after the dis?
missal of tho destitute Southerner.
The latter asked for aid to koop bim
from starving, and tho former asked
for legislation to prevent 'unjust dis?
crimination' against him. Wo hope
that equal consideration may bo
given to the caso ol' each."

Mikle were killed. The affair caused

would occur, but better counsels pre?
vailed, and the excited parties cooled
down. Mr. Isaac Owens, who resides
about twelve miles from Camden, is
connected with this affair, os it was
his property that was destroyed.

DON'T Do IT.-Never make use of
an honest woman's name in an im?
proper place, at au improper time, or
in a mixed company. Never make
assertions about her that you think
are untrue, allusions that you feel she
herself would blush to hear. When
you meet with men who do not scru?
ple to make use of a womau's namo
in a reckless manner, shun them, for
they are tho very worst members of
the community-men lo3t to every
sense of honor, every fcoliug of hu?
manity.
A reverend gentleman mado uso of
tho following illustration, when en?
gaged in private converso, a few days
ago: "The Scriptures," said ho,
I "may bo compared to woman's hair,
which is twisted and turned into
many forms and fashions, each ono
arranging hers in the mode which
she thinks most becoming. In like
manner the Scriptures are twisted
and turned by tho differeut sects,
though they aro a unit in their cha?
racter, and admit of but ono true in?
terpretation. There may be false
hair, so there are false prophets and
false interpretors of the Sacred
Word."
