Tuesday last, the Democrats of the North made a bravo but ineffectual straggle for the supremacy of Con? stitutional principles, but were over? come. As matters stand, we can scarcely hope for such a change in I Pennsylvania and Ohio as will givo these States to tho Democracy on ? the Ides of November. Indiana is. however, still debatable ground, and the same, indeed, may be said of Ne? braska. With these States added to . the Democratic list, there is yet hope .-?or*-ihe success of Seymour and Blair, . and no effort should be spared on 'tho part of our people to place them . selves right on the record. The conjectures of tho New York Herald, of the 13th, as to tho proba? ble complexion of Grant's Cabinet and administration, forcibly recalls to miud the old-fashioned advice as . to the necessary preliminary indis? pensable to a proper preparation of hare for tho table, which we would commend to tho consideration of that | journal. It is unquestionably truo, that tho Democracy failed to accom? plish all that they hoped for in the recent elections; but it is equally indubitable that they did accom? plish a great deal-more than suffi? cient to satisfy even the most un? yielding partisan that a most power? ful minority (should tho result fail to prove them a majority) aro unccn .querably opposed to the election of ?that candidnln whose policy the Herald attempts to foreshadow. Even if Grant be elected, wo may still find some silver lining to the cloud. Our j prosperity, as a people, depends much more on the management of j our State, municipal and individual ?concerns, than on our Chief Magis? trate, whoever he may be. Lot us <take courage, do right, and leave the rest to God. - ?<???-* Where would the party of uuivcrs -al suffrage be without disfranchise? ment? Just figure it up: Ail Virgi? nia disfranchised, 170,000 votes; all Texas, 65, OOO j all Mississippi, 70,000; -in Missouri, 50,000: in Tennessee, 100,000; in the so-called reconstruct? ed States, 150,000; total, 005,000. Then, when they havo taken this out .""by disfranchisement, they, by negro suffrage, juggle *n 750,000, making in all a difference of 1,355,000 votes. Can an electron so carried bo con? sidered a fair one? Is this the voice of the people? ?- ?-??-? A BEAUTIFUL SENTIMENT.-We clip .tho following beautiful sentiment from an exchange: "Sorrow sobers us nud makes the mindgeninl; and in sorrow we love and trust our friends moro tendorly, and tho dead becomo dearer to us; and, just as tho stars shine out in the nights, so there aro blessed faces that look at us in our grief, though before thoir features were fading from our recollection. Suffering! Let no man dread it too much, because it is better for him, and it will holp to make him sure of being immortal. It is not in the bright, happy days, but only in the solemn night,"that othor worlds aro to be seen shining in the long, long distances. And it is in Borrow--the night of the soul-that we seo tho farthest, and know our? selves natives of infinity} and sons >nnd daughters of the Most High." -? * ? i The reason wo admiro pretty feet Bec&QSO "all's well that ends woll." THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT. Mr. Adams, in bis Charleston speech, approved the unanimous rejection by the Southern States of the Constitu? tional amendment-or, mare point? edly, their refusal io disfranchise their leaders. By BO doing, tho Rich? mond Dispatch assorts, Mr. Adams but proves his own ch Hon and noble feelings in approving that not of the Southern people. They knew that they had to submit to mortifying and oppressive terms, and they felt that the rejection of the Constitu? tional amendment would probably bo followed by measures certainly not less odious; but they could not be mndo to co-operate in disfranchising their fellow-citizens. Mr. Adams appreciates tho motive, and approves tho act, like a refined and high-spi? rited gentleman as ho is. Even Mr. Wilson, of Massachusetts, with all his bitter partisanry, confessed that he was not surprised at the rejection of tho Coustitutioual amendment bj* thc Southern States, and that he would have dono exactly as they did, had ho been in their place. It was a cruel thing in the radicals to submit to the vote of the Southern people a proposition which they could not adopt without dishonor and disgrace; and, knowing that, in rejecting it, they had only acted tho part of honesty and good faith, the policy afterwards pursued of punishing them for not adopting it, was a reGuement of cruelty. Tho rejection of the amendment will, the Dispatch thinks, in time, be universally considered an act deserving the applause of tho nation. -?-??-. NEW YORK UNDERGROUND RAIL? ROAD.-Mr. W. B. Duncan, who sailed from Liverpool on tho Scotia, on the 3d instant, brings out thc con? tract just concluded with thc engi? neers who built tho underground railroad in London, for the con? struction of one in New York under the Into act of tho Assembly. The Now York press seem to favor tho rapid completion of tho work, now that it has become a fixed fact. They quarreled fiercely over it pending tho passago of tho bill, as they do upon every local question that involves dollars and cents; but now they urge tho Board of Directors to at once ap? prove the contract and push on tho work, to the end that tho question of practicability may bo at ouco settled. Tho tunnel is to run in a nearly straight lino from a point near tho City Hall, under Union Square, and thence to Harlem River, a distance of seven miles. Tho line, like that of London, is lo bc tapped at such depot points as seem to afford great? est facilities for passengers, and to bring in all the advantages aud im? provements-as to vibration, light and consumption of smoke-that ex? perience has taught in Loudon. Tho undertaking to tunnel savon miles, under tho heart of a great city, is an immense one; but with energy, and the vast means at disposal, diffi culties seem to melt away. Its suc? cess would be a great boon to over? crowded New York. It would be an immense relief to choked Broadway, and a vast saving of time over the lumbering omnibus system of to? day. The business man from Har? lem could light his segar at tho bridge and be in Wall street beforo it was half out. "THE WAY or THE TRANSGRESSOR IS HARD."-In Decembor, 18G3, Wil? liam W. Treadwell, a 3roung banker of Hudson, Michigan, borrowed over SGO.UOO from banks iu Cleveland, Chicago, Detroit and other cities, and disappeared with tho money. In February, 18G8, he appeared at Mansfield, Ohio, under au assumed name. Hound his wifo wero arrested there, but Treadwell's father-in-law, Hester, who was ono of the party, got off with thc money. Treadwell was taken to Michigan, sentenced, and lodged in jail. Having secretly obtained $2,GOO from his wife, Tread? well escaped from jail with a horse thief named Cowell, and was soon ofter murdered by Cowell for the money. Tho body of Treadwell was found in tho woods, and his murderer was arrested and hanged. Hester, having returned home, was arrested os a thief, but escaped. A hired woman having soon after discovered Hester, Mrs. Hester and Mrs. Tread? well counting largo sums of money, Hester was again arrested, tried, and mnlcted in $38,500. Tho caso affords another illustration of tho saying, ' 'The way of tho transgressor is hard. " Treadwell was murdered, his murder? er executed, and the father-in-law, who is supposed to havo prompted Treadwell to commit the crime, is in tho hands of justice, and compelled to relinquish his ill-gotten wealth. A Now York showman, who whi? ted a "headless rooster," has been convicted of cruelty to animals. It appears that ho cut off the bird's bill, and tied its head under its wing so that it oonld not be seen. The tor? tured bird struggled, and was exhibit? ed tti A gaping crowd aa n .' 'freak of I nature.'' An article.in the Revue Moderne, of Paris, opens up an old French idea which was abjo a "Napoleonic idea" that of making Paris a seaport by a canal to B?nen and Havre via the Seine. It was one of Vanban's pro? jects, and it was encouraged bj Loni? A.V and Lom's XVI, by Napoleon I, by Charles X and Louis Ph?lippe. The present projectorn say that large ocean steamers could roach Paris by canal, taking tho freight at that city and the coal at Havre. Wo had a blind black idiot hero lately who played tho piano in n way that would charm an angel. But we now hoar of a white prodigy who can beat "Blind Tom" all hollow. Thc phenomenon is in Baltimore. It is a blind infant (wo don't kuov whether malo or fomalo) of less than thrco years, who plays tho piano in tho most skillful and thrilliug manner, using its elbows as well as its hands, on tho keys. Among tho relics of the war sent North, au academy near Cleveland, Ohio, carno into possession of a bomb-shell picked up from the scene of tho fight around Nashville. A few da3*s ago. two students attempted to dig out tho fuze, when tho shell exploded and made a general smash of things in that institution of learn? ing. Thc cries of those buried alive by tho earthquake iu the ruins of Ibarra, smote for five or six days upon tho ears of survivors too indolent, apa? thetic and cager for plunder, to tako the troullo of unearthing them. Thousands perished by this horrible death, shrieking for help that would not come. The recent disastrous explosion at Metz was caused by a work-woman, in a moment of passion, throwing n pair of scissors among the fulminat? ing powder used iu tho manufacturo of cartridges. Forty-five persons were killed, besides twenty-eight badly wounded. Somo negroes attacked and stoned a Democratic procession, at Gallipo lis, Ohio, on Thursday last, which was resonted, when tyash Niney, a negro, who keeps a livery stable, shot and killed a worthy gentleman, named Albert Almond, who was en? deavoring to suppress the difficulty. The Princess Kozlosky, a beautiful Russian lady, has opened a cigar store in Moscow. Her father having lost her fortune, tho nobles of Moscow offered her 2,000 roubles a year, but she prefers to make her own living. A serio1,.s affray occurred, in a bar? ber-shop, in Salisbury, N. C., on the 18th, in which Mr. Daniel Shaver, an old citizen of the place, was shot by a man uamod Hardie, formerly in tho Federal arm}'. Mr. Shaver's wound is supposed to be mortal. General Joseph Hooker having, nt his own request, been examined by the Retiring Board, and found inca? pacitated for further service, has been placed upon tho retired list by order of the President. Trinity Church, New York, is to be enlarged by the erection of a new chancel forty-eight feet deep and two new trauseps; and a new school? house is to be built to accommodate tlie 3,000 children of the parish. A short time ago, a man was mar? ried to an interesting-looking j-ouug lady, in Louisville, Koutncky, and has since gone off to California, al? leging that his wife is no woman at all! It is a curious case. James Curtis, under arrest for horse-stealing at Johnsonville, Ten? nessee, was takon from custody, Sun? day night, by a mob and shot to death. The late elcctiou was, in a pecuni? ary point of view, n dear ono to tho radicals. Thoy bet on largo majori? ties, and, in thousands of instances, lost heavily. Napoleon is a small mau, bright eyed, with grayish hair, and, whilst his portraits resemble him, they all Hatter him. Twenty-seven places of popular amusement, giving theatrical and musical entertainments, aro adver? tised in tho New York Herald. Tho expedition of British troops against tho tribes in North-western India, has, so fal', mot with slight opposition. Hon. II. H. Whitfield, au eminent citizen of Virginia, and formerly a momber of tho Confederate Congress, died last week. Two weekly papers, wholly con? ducted by ladies, woro started at Chicago last week. Ono of them is dovoted to legal intelligence. A counterfeit fifty cont noto manu? factory has been brokon up in Now York, and abont SI,500 in spurious money captured. Thoro is a theological seminary, at Charlotte, for tho oducation of co? lored preachers. It is controlled by tho Northern Presbyterian Chnrch. The fire in Wheeling, West Va., on Saturday morning, destroyed ovor $100,000 worth of property." After January 1st, tho feo on regis? tered letters will bo fifteen cents instead of twenty. The friends of a lady who has just taken the pledge have named her "Water Loo." Marriage in designated a "bridal" stale, as it puts a curb upon most people. A New York paper calla for a mar? ket in that city BO regulated that a lady can go through it without a policeman and a bottle of cologne. There are 2,653 policemen in New York. Apples ! Apples I !

WHEREAS, reports nro being daily re? ceived ut this Department, and particularly from tho Counties of Abbe? ville, Anderson, Edgettold, Lexington, Newberry, Che-ter, Laurens, Union, York and Darlington, that thc laws are being violated, mid tho officers of the law set at defiance; that peaceful and unoffending citizens ?ire murdered in cold blood, and th?' murderers not only permitted but aid? ed to escapo from justice; that families have beeu forced to abaudou their homes and property by four of violence; that thc authority of tho State Government is openly derided and doniod; that threats of violonoo, and even of death, aro uttered against promiueut members of tho Re? p?blica!! ?>?uty. if they shall attempt to visit their Districts, for the purpose of dis? cussing tho political tpicstious of the day; that declarations are openly made by pcr calling themselves Democrats, oi their determination not to permit their political opponents to vote at tho ensuing election; and, to enable them to effect their purposes, and to overawe tho peoplo, large quantities of lire-arms, of tho most improved description, have boon brought into tho State and secretly distributed; that tho publie highways aro picketed and patrolled by armed nu n, who stop and interrogate pa?seng:rs, frequently abusing and assaulting those! who differ w ith them in political opinion; and especially is there ! apparont a systematic effort, by abuso and intimidation, to deter colon d persons from tho exercise of tho elective franchise, and ail this in transgression of law, in de? rogation of tho peaco and dignity vt the Commonwealth, and in violatiou of tho rights of the citizens. The right of suffrage belongs equally to tho white and colored race, and all must bo protected in its free and peaceful exer? cise. Fraud or violence may vitiate the returns of any poll where tiioy may bc perpetrated, and ? call upon all goodciti zens to aid tho officers of the law in their efforts to maintain the peace and prcpcrve the independence and purity of the ballot box. The State Government, of which I am tho Executive head, is not only 'le facto but de jure, and commands tho allegiance of all within its territorial limits. It is independent of Federal legislation and of the Federal Judiciary, whoso powers aro defined hythe Constitution, tobe "judicial" and not -'political." Its sovereignty ami its honor are in its own keeping; and the rights granted and conferred by it can only be affected or subverted by a chango in tho organic law, in obedience to tho wishes of tho peoplo of tho State acting in their sovereign capacity in a Convention called for tho purpose To resist the laws of thc State, represented by its legally constituted oflicers, is an offence of the gravest character; and armed resistance is treason. Now therefore, I, U015ERT K. SCOTT, Governor of tho State of South Carolina, do hereby issue this my proclamation, eu joiuiug and commanding all Magistrates. Sheriffs, and other officers of tho poaco in their respectivo Counties, to bo faithful, vigilant, and activo in tho dischargo of their duties, and to report promptly to this Department every case where they aro obstructed or resisted in doing so; and, in the event of resistance or assault, they are directed to apply to tho nearest milita? ry post of United States troops for aid and co-operation in enforcing tho laws and maintaining the public peace. In caso of failure on tho part of Magistrates, She? riffs and officers of tho peaco to perform thone duties promptly and efficiently, either from neglect or sympathy with tue wrong-doors, they will bo promptly re? moved and their places tilled by mon' loyal to tho Stato and faithful in the dischargo of their obligations to the community. And I do earnestly appeal to tho law abiding pooplo of tho State, to thoso who aro identified and iuterostod in her repu? tation and prosperity, to all who aro op? posed to violenco and bloodshed, and to a condition of riot and anarchy, in which lifo and property aro aliko insecuro, that they will aid mo in my efforts to maintain the supremacy of tho law and the rights of tho people, by discountenancing and de? nouncing all violenco and outrage, and by assisting tho Magistrates and poaco officers in arresting tho perpetrators there? of, so that they may bo brought to con? dign punishment. In tho oyo of tho law, the rights of every citizen, white and colored, aro equally sacred and equally entitled to protection and vindication; and it is my duty and de? termination to uso all the powers at my disposal for that purpose. And if my efforts to accomplish this by poaccablo means aro frustrated, by turbulent and lawless men resisting tho Executive au? thority, in thc persons of its ollicers, 1 shall bo compelled, however reluctantly, to arni and organizo a sufficient force of loyal citizens to overcome that resistance; and the responsibility of tho consequences, however disastrous and deplorable, must, rest upon the heads of thos-j who provoke them. In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the great seal of tho State to be ailixed, at Columbia, this twentieth day of October, in tho year of our Lord ono thousand eight hundred and sixty eight, and in tho ninety-third year of the Indopondenco of tho United Stati s of America.

DEAR SIR: In your paper of last week, yon or ono of your corres? pondents says that Dr. Diako is not tho originator of tho celebrated PLANTATION BITTERS, and that they were manufactured and sold by one Pedro Marielle, an old Spaninrd, iu tho Island of St. Thomas, over forty years ago, as every old sea captain can testify. Now, sir, I can certify to tho above as being true, for I havo followed the seo for over forty years, most of tho timo doing business with the West Indies. These same Bitters, differently put up and named, were brought to my notice on my first trip to the Island of St. Croix, for a cargo of rum, and for years and years after, my ship's stores were never without them. I always supplied my family and many of my neighbors with them, and can truly say a better Bitters and Tonio, is not mado in all the world. Yours truly. Capt. HENRY WENTZ.
