COL?MBIA, S. G\_ ----' Saturday Morning, May 22, 1868. Another li ad leal Hula en the Sou tl?. |i Tbero Reoms to bo a renewed outcry in some of the leading radical journals in re? gard to crime in tho South, which is con? jectured to ba raised for tho purpose of furnishing pretexts for still further inter? f?rence of the Federal Government in the Southern States. It is a melancholy roiloc tioa that, fonr years after tho war is ended, a period us long as the war itself, wc arc still without that mutual confidence nnd peace which is tho common desire of true men of all sections, and tho common interest of North aud South. Tho Baltimore Sun calls attention to tho fact, that during all tho time which has elapsed since the closo of hostilities, the Southern States have sought restoration to their relations to the Union before the war, and have beou opposed and thwarted at every step, and almost in pre? cise proportion to their urgeucy for r?con? ciliation. Tho Now York Tribune is now sorely exorcised over tho "situation in Georgia," whioh, it says, "is grave enough to warrant prompt investigation," tho gru ?vity of the matter comistiug in the fact that .the Bullock radical party of that State ore At present outside tho public crib, the most solemn state of things that loyal imagination oan conceive. They naturally wish au in? vasion of Georgia's constitutional rights by Oongress, and the revolutionizing of the present order of affairs, so that tho serious and threatening aspect presented by the bolts and bars whioh keep them from a mo? nopoly of all the offices may speedily be re? moved, and an opportunity given for a tho? rough "investigation" of the loaves and fishes from which they have boen so long debarred. The Tribune, however, does not confine itself to Georgia, but turns its broadside upon tho whole South, and has the hardihood to make such au announce? ment as this: **Now wo assert, as our conclusion from attentive observation of the journals, that not less than 1,000 persons have been mur? dered because of their politics in tho Sonth crn States during tho last year, of whom at least 9S0 were Republicans, and that not twenty of tho murderers have been brought to justice by those whom tho Times is apt to coll 'the South." Deliberate and intentional injustice to the Southern people could alone blind the eyes of, the author of that monstrous fabrication to tho folly, as well as wickedness, of pub? lishing so incredible a falsehood. The Now York Times calls upon tho Tribune to ex? hibit the data of its calculation. It says: "Let us see how this total of 1,000 politi? cal murders is mado up. With how many is Virginia chargeable? and tho Carolinas? and Georgia, Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Florida, Mississippi and Texas, respective? ly? Let the particulars bo given, that each of the States implicated by tho accusation may have an opportunity of disproving a charge so seriously affecting the reputation of its population and the administration of its laws. Wholesale assertions of the same nature have been heard before, and invaria? bly in connection with some sinister and partisan scheme, but their authors have rarely attempted the production of proofs." The Washington Chronicle engages in the same work of defamation with tho Tribune, and demands that "tho ascendancy of the loyal people" shall be preserved, aud thc machinations of "a revolutionary party" frustrated. It assumes that to accomplish this object, the authority which forced through reconstruction in the first instance is at liberty to do as it pleases with tho en? tire South. Yet, it is scarcely a week since the same journal voluntarily and ardently testified to the "loyalty" of tho Southern people. Discussing tho subject of a war with Great Britaiu, it thus emphatically spoke: "There is no hostility to England in Anio rica, but there is intense devotion to Ame? rica. And? all parties unite in this senti? ment, North and South, East and West. Even tho Dernooracy, who are now courting free trade, will not be ready to sustain ii power which has cheated all parties in th ic country in turn, and none more than thc South. Ireland looks with as much interest on this new complication as Cuba; and i! the woist comes to tho worst, no force will be more potent than that represented bj the men who fought in tho Confederate army, and who wished success to tho Con federate cause. "England would find that war with bei would bo inoro popular hero than war will any other nation, for reasons it is not necos sary to state; thut it would weld all section: solidly together in o common purpose, : united acliou, aud that it would not ooh, present an opening for the thousand;} en* gaged on both sides during thc lute wa who aro eager to tako tho hold again, bu that it would furnish nu opportunity fo gratifying a considerable body hero'win would not bc averse to havo us moasuro ou strength with her as we stand developed n present, and who would b ud their eames support, physically ?nd financially. It tua not have occurred to England that th' Southern pcoplo would, perhaps, bo glad ti an opportunity to pay her off for encoui aging them to roly upon her aid in the rt auouuouing tnem to de? feat." Yet, with this concession pert upon its lips that tho Southern people Would giro their \ifaa in attestation of their loyalty, it is now engaged in endeavoring to make it appear that, so far from being loyal, the life of a loyal mau is not safe in the Southern Statt-3. "Let us haro peace." -o THE CUARTJESTON QUO WA n n ANTO .-Tho followiug r.ro the points with reference to the quo rearranto in the ease of the Charles? ton Aldermen, Mackey and Burrow: That by an Act of the Genend Assembly of thc said State, to niter and amend tho charter of the city of Charleston, passed on tho 18th day o? December, 1817, it was, among other things, enacted, "That if auy person oleited Alderman in said city shall remove from Hie ward for which he was so elected, bia ollico shall become vacant, and a now election bo ordered by tho City Coun? cil of Charleston." That David Barrow, heretofore, to wit: On tho 18th day of May, in the year ISfii). at Charleston, iu tho County aforesaid, did uso and exorcise, and from thence continual? ly afterwards to tho timo of exhibiting this information, hath thero used and exercised, and still doth uno nnd oxerciso the office ol' Alderman of Ward No. 3 in tho city of Charleston, under and by virtue of au elec? tion held in the said city of Charleston, on tho 10th of November, 18G8, and under and by virtue of an Aot of the Legislature ren? dering valid tho said election-notwith? standing that since tho said electioA and the passage of tho said Act, and prior to tho said 18th day of May, his said office had becomo vacant by the removal of the said David Barrow from the said ward-which j said office he, the said David Barrow, for nud during all the time last abov? mentioned, without any legal warrant of right whatso? ever, bath usurped, and still doth usurp, 1,1 contempt of justice and in de?nanco of law. That he, the 6aid Thomas J. Mackey, had not resided within the said city three years previous to his election; and that he, tho said Thomas J. Mackey, was not a resident of thia State at tho time of ino adoption of tho constitution thereof, and had not re? sided in the State ono year after the adop? tion of the said constitution. Wherefore the said otlice, liberties, privi? leges and franchises he, tho said Thomas J. Mackey, for and during all tbe time last ubove mentioned, without nuy legal warrant or right whatsoever, hath usurped, and still doth usurp, in contempt of justice and in defiance of law. In consideration of tho premises, and to tho end that justice may bo done, the At? torney-General aforesaid prays that a writ of quo warranta be directed to ba served upon tho said Thomas J. Mackey, com? manding him on a certain day to be and appear before this honorable Court, and then and there to show by what anthority he claims to exercise the office of Alderman of Ward No. 3 of th? said city of Charles? ton, and to answer the premises, and to stand to, perform and abide such order and judgment therein as to the honorable Court shall seem meet. (Signed) D. H. CHAMBERLAIN, Attorney-General of the State of S. C. A. C. RICHMOND. C. C. P. PRESSLEY, LORD Sc INGLESBY, Of Counsel. Speaking of the business before the Cir cit Court in Abbeville, tho Press says: "The new bills found by the Grand Jury involved no cases of very aggravated cha raeter. No billa were givou out against those citizens of our District against whom charges had been preferred of complicity in the killing of Randolph. The Attorney General Chamberlain, it is said, was ex pected up to attend to theso cases, but did not come, and we have our doubts whether he ever will come. Tho Grand Jury 'ig nored' the bill charging Dr. M. C. Taggart, A. B. Kennedy and John Brooks with the killing of a negro at Whito Hall, at the election last fall." THR "SUNDAY STONE."-In ono of the English coal mines there ia a constant for? mation of limestone, cnused by the trick? ling of water through tho rocks. This wa? ter contains a great mauy particles of lime, which are deposited in tho mine, nud aa the water pusse? oil*, these become hard, and form limestone. This stone would always bo white, like marble, were it not that men aro working in tho mines, and as the black dust rises from the coal, it mixes with the soft lime, and in that way a black stone is formed. In the night, when there is no coal dust rising, the stone is white; tben again, the uoxt day, when the minos are nt work, another black layer is formed, and so on, alternately, black and white, through the week, until Sunday comes. Then, if the miners keep Sunday, a much larger lay? er of tho white stouo will bo formed than before. There will bo the whito stone of Sunday night, and tho whole of Sunday, so that every seventh day "io whito layer is about throe times ns tb .k as nay of tho others. Hut if they work on Sunday, they see it marked against them in tho stone. Hence, tho miners call it the "Sunday Stone." Gas is used by tho San Francisco Courier us the motivo power to run tho engino at? tached to their presa. It ia a Freuen inven? tion, and has been in use in Paris for seve? ral years. It is predicted that it will come into general uso for tho driving of all the lighter class of machinery. The Arch-bishop of Cashel, in a pastoral letter, deplores tho recent outrages in the South of Ireland. Ho considers them, howover, as the nets of a fow desperadoes, and he denies tho existence of an agrarian conspiraoy. Promises often lead to compromises. SUDDEN DEATH.-Mra.

DEMOCRAT. ANOTHER GREAT RAILWAY.-Tuero aro in? dications of railway enterprises projected on a gigantic seulo throughout the glob??. In addition to the Pacific railway, which has just been opened throughout its whole extent, wo see it stated that tho Turkish Go? vernment has, within tho last few weeks, made arrangements for a railway from Con? stantinople to Trieste, with branch lines to Belgrade and Sal?nica. Trieste is tho prin? cipal seaport of the Austrian empire, at the head of tho Gulf of Trieste, in tho North? east of tho Adriatic. Tho Allstr?au Lloyd's Steam Packet Company, formed in 1833, has fifty or moro steamers plying between Trieste and the principal ports of the Adri? atic, tho Levant and tho Black Sea. A glance at tho map will show what n short cut is this projected railway between tho two poiuts, compared with the enormously circuitous voyago by sea. Trieste is already connected by railway with Vienna, Venice, Sec., and its railroad depot buildings are on a grand scale, tho grounds covering forty acres. Au association is also said to have been formed of well-known financiers and contractors, presided over by tho King of I tho Belgians, to carry a railway from Europe to Pekin. Considering the intervening de Berts and stupendous mountain ranges of Ch inn, this sc hem o to traverse tho heart China with a railway i.s quite as audacious as tho Pacific Railroad. If now tho nations of Europo would disarm their enormous military establishments, a course which it is said will bo urged at tho Ecumenical Coun? cil in Rome, and put their army appropria? tions into works of internal improvement, tho world would be the botter for it. But it is to bo feared that no recommendation to that effect will be listened to till tho mil-1 lenium. -o lu 18G7, thero wore imported into Groat Britain 11,272,051 cwls. of raw cotton from all countries. In 18G8, tho importations wero 11,857,803 cwts. The proportion of tho United States receipts to the total im porte was larger in 18G8 than in 18G7, being] above forty-five per cent, of the whole sup ply. -o Chief Justice Chase ie holding court in Charleston. Do You WANT HEALTH? AND Wno Dons NOT?-If so, be advised; USE DIL TUTT'SI SARSAPARILLA and QUEEN'S DELIGHT, the groat alterativo and blood purifier. There is no mystery about tho universal success that attends its use. It is the finest selection of tonic, anti-bilious, anti-scorbutio, aperi? ent and purifying HERBS, BOOTS and HARKS | that ever entered iuto any medicinal com? pound. M22 -o The Now York Tribune says tho reason why PLANTATION BITTERS aro so generally used is owing to tho fact that they are al? ways made up to the original standard, and of puro material, let the price bo what it I will. The Tribune just hits tho nuil on the head, for PLANTATION BTTTERS aro not ouly made of puro material, but tho people are told what they are made of, as tho recipe is wrapped around each bottle. Don't go home without a bottle. MAGNOLIA WATER.-Superior to tho best I imported German Cologne, and sold at half tho price. M22JD3 HAGAN'S MAGNOLIA BALM.-This article is tho truo secret of beauty. It is what fashionable ladies, actresses and opera sing? ers use to produce that cultivated, distingue I appearance so much admired in tho circles ] of fashion. It removes all unsightly blotches, redness, freckles, tau, sunburn and effects of spring j winds, aud gives to the complexion a bloom? ing purity of transparent delicucy and] power. No lady who values a fine complex? ion cnn do without the Magnolia Balm. 75 cents will buy it of any of our respectable dealers. Lyon's Kathairon is a very delightful hair] dressing. M22 % 13 -o It may bo truthfully said that tho greatest] of all blessings is health, for without it, it is impossible to enjoy tho lifo that God hus] given us. A healthy stomach, a good di? gestion, a good conscience are requisites so important in a physical and moral poiut of] viow to human happiness, that wo presume no one will question it. To all alike is] health essential for life's enjoyment and] pursuits; to young and old, to rich and poor, to man and woman. Aro you in search o?? wealth? health is essential; do you desire tflicc and worldly hours? of what avail would these bo without health? Tho beau? ties of spring, tho song of birds, tho deep bluo skies, all have a poetic fascination with tho puro in mind and body ; but what are they without health? To say with the poet, ns ono feels Ibu throbs of a healthful hean: "This world is very lovely! Oh, that I may' live."

I ? _____o THB TOWNSHIP ELECTION To-DAT-WRITE YOUR BALLOTS.-The attention of voters is called to Section 19 of an Act to organize townships, ko., which reads aa follows: "The election of Towu dorks, Selectmen, Constables, nud tho Moderator of tho meet? ings held for tho choice of town officers, shall be by written ballots." If required by the manngers of the elec? tion, voters will take caro to deposit written ballots. -o Capt. Heise has fitted up one of Morse's patent soda founts-which is not only an ornament, but nt the sumo timon most com? plete apparatus. Tho outer casing is highly polished Tennessee marble, and it is so ad? mirably arranged that tho contents may be kept but a degree or two below tho freezing point. As tho Captain's establishment ia conveniently situated, ho will bo instru? mental in quenching tho thirst of weary promenaders of our priucipal street. -o At a meeting of the State Medical Asso sociation, held in Charleston on Thursday last, the following officers were elected: Dr. A. N. Tulley, of Columbia, President; Dr. W. C. Horlbeck, of Charleston, First Vice President; Dr. A. S. Sally, of Ornngebnrg, Second vice-President; Dr. J. Somers Buist, of Charleston, Recording Secretary; Dr. F. P. Porcher, of Charleston, Corresponding Secretary. Tho Presideut returned ? his thanks for the unexpected and distinguished honor conferred upon him, and hoped that everything would bo done to advance tho interest of tho association. -o TH? NATIONAL HOTEL, COLUMBIA.-The Charleston Courier speaks as follows of this hotel: "Those who haro occasiou to visit oar capital havo certainly no reason to complain on th? score of hotel accommodations. Prominent among tko flue houses which Columbia now boasts is tba National Hotel, of which Mr. Rubert Joyner is proprietor. Conveniently situuted, its room? are always clean, comfortable and well kept, and the table is abundantly supplied with th? best of everything. Add to this, that tho house has a most obliging and .".Unitivo clerk, Mr. P. N. Pains, that the charges are tl ways moderate, and that tbs livery stables ad? joining, kept by Mr. Joyner, afford tho readiest facilities for obtaining vehicles at any time, and it will be seen that tho National is, in every respect, a hotel hard to beat." -o WHAT CAN DE DONE IN TOWN.-Yesterday morning, wo hud the pleasure-and it was pleasuro, in every tense of the word-of strolling through ihe kitchen garden at? tached to the residence of Col. John T. Sloan, corner of Bull and Pendleton streets. This model garden is attended to oxclusiTely by a colored man named George Holt-who previously belonged to Col. T.-nnder the superintendence of Miss A. E. Sloan. Green pens, cabbages, snap beans, beets, carrots, parsnips, squashes, etc., are pro? duced in abundance. From a pea patch, fifteen by forty feet, seven busliels of green peas have been gathered. The other vegeta? bles mentioned above aro particularly fine, and, in tho language of another, wo would say, "Neighbor, beat these beeta" if you can. Three or four crops of different kinds are grown on tho same spot. The tomatoes are largo and full, and in a short time will be fit to eat. There is fruit in abundance on the place, figs, pears and peaches-some of tho latter-tho nutmeg variety-being ripo at tho present time. The Colonel keeps several cows, and not only furnishes his largo family with milk, but disposes of sufficient to supply his animals with food. Taken all in nil, his is a "model home," and proves conclusively what can be accom? plished with a li Uh i energy. The colored man referred to above is entitled to great credit; ho does the marketing for the family, milks and attends to four cows, runs errands, trims and looks after 1,600 feet of hedge, besides waiting on the tablo and doing odd jobs; in addition to which all the necessary carpentering is turned over to him, with tho certainty of its being properly attended to. -o NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.-Special attention is called to tho following advertisements, published for tho first time this morning: P. Cantwell--Pig Hams, ko. Gregg, Palmer it Co.-Bonds Wanted. Meeting of Typographical Union. L. G. Filetto-New York City Board, p. W. Fuller-Stall Fed Beef. John H. Heise-Soda Water, kc. 13. H.
