COLUMBIA, S. C. Wednesday Horning, March 17. 1869. Political DlMblUtp?;?. g The courtio of tho radicals of Congress, in tinkering with political disabilities, ij| con? temptible. Everything like general princi? ple is neglected, and although justice is done to a few, whose disabilities are re? moved, injustice is done to more than fifty times as many, whose cases are not con? sidered st all. The rule which the radicals profess to observe in regard to disabilities, the Louisville, ?OW'&'-JVWH?! thinks, is, that relief shall bo granted to those who provo themselves loyal in their relations to the new order of things. This is substan? tially the language which they use, aud it ought to be considered as embrucing all who accept the existing politioal situation, render obedience to the Constitution and the laws, givo np secession and rebellion as dead issues, not to bo revived, and seek redress for wrongs and oppressions only by the regular exercise of the powers with which tho Government vests the citizen. This class includes all, or at least more than ninety-nine hundredths of all, who engaged in the late rebellion, or sympathized with it. But, practically, the rule adopted by the radicals, notwithstanding its fair seeming, is so perverted in its application as to be made to include, for the most part, only those who, wanting office, render them? selves, by forwardness and protestation and clamor, especially conspicuous in tho dis? play of radical principles and propensities, or in some wey manage to win tho favor of Congressmen and other officials. The masses, tho far greater part. r.s well as the infinitely better part, of those now under political disabilities, aro citizens who, pur? suing their avocations quietly and unobtru? sively, and seeking no official positions, have neither tho inclination to ask, nor the opportunity to obtain, the endorsement of radical office-holders and radical committees. Thus, while the least worthy portion of those who took part against tho Govern? ment in tho war get relief from their disa? bilities, the patient, the meritorious, thc unobtrusive, remain under a cloud, to suf? fer, unrecognized and unnoticed, the harsh penalties o? a law that one comprehensive Aot of relief should sweep from the statute books. Let the whole people be restored at once to their old right?. If any man, what? ever he may have been in the war, shall ommit hereafter a deed of treason against the Government, let him be tried, convicted and punished. But let the past be buried ont of sight. The partiality exhibited at Washington is a disgrace to the country. Even the beneficent prerogative of relieving disabilities is made an engiuo of corrupt partisan electioneering. -o PEAOH OB WAB IN EUROPE.-The ques? tion of an early war in Europe is still mooted in spite of peaceful purposes by the rulers. First Napoleon, and then King William, makes pacific assurances, but still the war preparations go on. The talk is of an alliance between Napoleon and Victor Emunuel, with the old idea of Lutin rule for a basis, and Prussia on the other side, propitiating Russia by certuiu neeessaiy concessions; with Austria in the back-ground biding her time. Ou the other sido, the natural tendency to concentration would favor tho chaucos of France and Italy, while the Germanic habit of dividing and distributing would tell heavily against Prus? sia, on the other. And with a power like Austri.i standing by in sulleu discouteuted uess, owing no thanks to France, yet ?ager to take any advautago of Prussia, the complication presents a look that becomes formidable. Napoleon ia all the time pre? paring for the event of war, while King William is not far behind. The atmosphere is by no means fragrant with peaco. A feeling of doubt and insecurity has- Bottled upon all. And biuts are now thrown out with a daugerous freedom, that war is likely to break out at any time after the French elections iu May. -o A delegation of Georgia Republicans, headed by Foster Blodgett, waited upor the President yesterday, and after tho nana greetings, laid the state of altair.-; in Geor gin, before bim, and respectfully urged i strict enforcement of the reconstructioi laws. The President replied that ho desiroi very much to seo all classes of people ii the South protected in their opinions. Ol inquiring what the Legislature of thu* Mtab would do in relation to tho fifteen amend ment, Mr. Blodgett said tho Democrat intended to pass it, r.s thew were anxious as they suid, to inflict negro suffrage on th d-d Yankees. A man named Frank Oaraon, hailing fron Lancaster, S. C., (says the Charlotte, N. C. Times,) sold two bales of cotton to a fire in that town; but suspicion beiug excited the bales were opened, and 350 ponnds o sand and bricks discovered. Fortunatel tho payment of tho draft for the bogu bahs was stopped. FINANCIAL, VIEWS OF MR. BOUTWKLX..-As Mr. Bo ut wei l's views with respect to financial matters havo been the subject of a ffjfod deal of inquiry Cn th* last day or two, We will, says tba Boston Advertiser,.remind our readers of hfs remarks iu the Bepubli cau State Convention, last fal), and espe? cially of the following sentences: "We do not propose to tolerate, sanction or permit an issue of demand notes, pay? able in coin, to be exchauged for tho time bonds of tho United States. "We intend to I limit, and, if necessary, to diminish gra? dually tho volume of paper money, until it approximates iu value to tho stondard of coin. Wo inteud that there shall bo ouo currency for tho boud-hohler, thc morchant, the farmer, the pensioner, and the laborer. That currency shall be tho vnluo of gold. When this is done, thc public debt will bo paid, as the resources of the country may permit, nud to the satisfaction of those who pay and of those who receive. Wheu tho credit of the country is restored, as it will be by the single fact of tao election of Gen. Grnnt, we eau issue bc nels, payable after ton or twohty years, bearing a lower rate of iuterest, and thus save annually tho sum of twenty or thirty millions of dollars. But, first of all, as a means of restoring the pub? lic credit, the people must dispel by ti:oir votes tho apprehension of national dis? honesty in the public finances. The Ite publioan party knows no policy iu iinuu.ee but honesty." -o AFFAIRS IN ANDERSON.-The Ititelligencer, of Thursday, says: "The testimony on tho part of Hon. J. P. Reed, tho respondent, was taken before W. W. Humphreys, Esq., Judge of Probate, on Thursday and Friday last. The evidence was conclnsive ?nd overwhelming in sustaining the answer of Mr. Recd, so far as Anderson County is concerned, and giving a positive and une? quivocal denial to tho all?gation? made by the contestant. No ouo appeared iu behalf of Hogo, who is certainly eschewed by the lending colored men in this County, and we are inclined to thiuk that thc white radicals are ashamed of his unscrupulous charges against our people." We have to announce this morning thc death of three old citizens of this Comity, all of whom died after a brief illness. Ou Thursday morning last, in this village, Mr. Ezekiel George, aged fifty-five years, de? parted this life, having been sick only a week. Major James Gurner died suddenly, at his residence, near Roberts' Church, on Thursday night last. He was seventy-six years of age. Mr. Robert Smith, another estimable citizen, died yesterday morning, at his residence, four miles East of this place, in the seventy-fourth year of his age. -o Tho Canton Mail mentions the death of ex-Govornor Wm. McWillio, which occurred at his resideuco in ?Madison County on tho 3d iust. Ho had long been su Hering from paralysis. Governor Mc Wilie was a South Carolinian by birth, came to Mississippi a quarter of a century ago, and was elected Governor of tho State in 1862. Ile was in his seventy-sixth year when ho died. His lifo was one cf great usefulness and high distinction. , Sarcasm - Au undertaker in tears. Sulks-Deaf and dumb madness. Wanted, BY ono fully competent, a situation as GAR? DENER.

Speakiug of which, the Terre Haute (Ind.) Journal says. "A noticeable feature of the entertain? ment, says a New Orleans paper, is Prof. Shaffer's Panithiopoticonic views. These alone redeem the price left at the box office. Among the most striking may be found the city of Bethlehem, tho birth place of otu Saviour, with the guiding star brightly beaming above tho lowly place o? refuge in which thc wise men found the linly child; the Golconda or Crucifixi?n, the Temple ol thc Holy Tomb, St. Peter's church at Home-exterior and interior views-anti many other Biblical scenes. Tho storm at sea is very grand; tho ship is laboring under a heavy sou, clouds, thunder aud lightning, thc wreck and then when all id Liver, God's promise of peace-tho rainbow spans the sky. Wc would say to parents that tho views aro both amusing and iu itrnctive, and should be. visited by all the little folks. Their visit being positively but ine night, we hope to see the house full to yverflowiug. " -o EMANATIONS FROM TUE EXECUTIVE DE L'AIITMENT.-W.

THE PEAK FAMILY SWISS BELL RINGER As will bo soen by an advertisement i another column, this old and well kuov. troupe are to give a .'erics of their deligh ful entertainments at Janney's Hall, in th city, commencing on Monday, tho 22d in! The reputation of the Peak Family as m sioians of a high order, is so well knov that tho raero announcement of thoir coi ing, is of itself sufficient to insure the large and appreciative audiences. Our c changes all over tho country aro unauimo in their praise of this excellent troupe, tho following from tho Nashvillo Union ? American, of tho 25th ultimo, will show: "THE BELL RINUEKS.-Such an audier as was crowded into Masonic Hall, li night, is not often seen in Nauhville. T ball was fairly packed, n number bei compelled to bo satisfied with stand! room. From tho first tinkle of the bells in I introductory overture until tho closo of I performance, the Peak aud Berger com nation maintained their sway over I crowd, now producing thoir wonderful h melody, anon charming their listeners vocal and instrumental duetts and qn tettos, and varying the musical melange the inimitable comicalities of Sol Sm Russell. The entertainment has got su ciont variety to make it thoroughly onjo; ble, as was certainly the verdiot of the an enco last night. There io an en Ur? chat of programme for to-night, lt wonld well to ejoore seats in timo, as there bound to bo another jam." / I 'll I THEATRE. -This evening Manager Tem? pleton opens at Carolina Hall, with one of the best companies that - has visited Colom? bia sincerthe war. Miss Alice Vane, tbe well known actress, will appear as tbo principal character in the great play of Fanchon, or the Cricket. 'In ii she is said to be unsur? passed-even by Maggie Mitchell, with whom Fauchon is a spocial favorite. Miss Vane will bo supported in a most excellent manner, and we aro confident that those who go will spend a most agreeable evening. We copy the following from the Montgomery Mail: "Fanchon was presented to tho Montgo goruery theatre-going public last evening by Manager Templeton. Wo noticed that the boxes und dress circle were filled with the creme de la creme of Montgomery, who desire to evince their appreciation of the efforts of Mr. Templeton to afford amuse mont and instruction to our people. This was a feature in the general 'make up' of tho house, which we hope will oontinue. Tho play was rendered in very good style and with good effect, the audience testifying their appreciation frequently by heavy ap? plause. Miss Vane as Fanchon, did well, and approximated very closely to Maggie Mitchell in the geueral rendition of that very difficult character. The young lady who personated Madelon, (whose name by an over-sight, we presume, did not appear upon the bills,) neted finely, but looked prettier. Indeed, beauty covers a 'multitude of faults,' and in this insinu?e Madelon has such a sweet face, such graceful action, and snell a pretty foot, which, like Jennie Worrell, she kuows how to show and pointedly pose, as to make the entire andl euco (more especially the younger male portion) fall in lovo with her. Hence her role was a success. Miss Foster as the Witch, was good ; Mr.Templeton as Landery, made some good points; Miss Martin as Mother Barbeand, was fine, although too young and handsome ?or such a character. Upon tin- whole tho performance was a good one, and wo bespeak for Manager Templeton a hearty response to his appeals for support." -o Orr.

The great Life Insurance Company of the United Statos is tho National, of which Jay Cooke Sc Co. are the General Agents, Wash? ington. Compared with other big compa? nies, it is destined soon to be the MGOEST company in the country. Why? Because its growth aud popularity, measured in its infancy, warrants it. They have issued, in five months, nearly -1,000 policies, embra? cing a sum insured of upwards of $18,000, 000, and thc applications daily increasing. Another reason is, tbat the plan of the Na? tional is the correct one, the cheapest one, the most liberal one; secures tho largest amount for the sum paid; no fictitious or distant dividends declared to da/.zlo tho im? agination with ita glittering promises, but gives you a cash dividend in hand before you start. How? A young clerk, ago twenty, pays $12.05 n year, and secures a policy in i ho National for Si,000. In other companies ho pays $19.89-a difference of SO. 94, or a cash dividend of over fifty-two per cent. This differenco will enable him to tako out a policy for $500 more; so that, should he die, bis family secures 81,500, and pay no more premium than other com? panies charge for $1,000. This don't look like, what is supposed by some to bo tho case, that tho company divide all the profits among themselves. Why, tho fact is, they give you a dividend before it is duo-in nd vanco-nud no contingent operation of ma? king a profit is dependent upon it. Insure in tho National. Call and get circulars. E. H.
