C ?L?MB?A, S. C. Tuesday Morning, Juno 22. 1869. Ti in SKIES BRIOHTHIIINO.-Tho skies begin to look 'brighter fur the white people of Tennessee. There aro indica? tions that, tho rudical party ?uda itself unable to stand up nuder the weight of the disfranchising law, by which from 50,000 to G?.000 freemen are deprived of the right to vote-a right possessed- by every ignorant and debased negro in the State. Wo Observe that both tho radical candidates for Governor-Senter and Stokes-have come ont in favor of a con? vention to remove all disabilities. Wells, in Virginia, has aleo been oompelled'to take grouud against the disfranchising features of the new constitution. Thus, eue by one, tho badges of despotism oro falling from the shoulders of the people of the South, nnd a returning sonso of justice ushering in the dawn of the day of freedom, when we sholl live under laws made by ourselves, and bring the reign of.carpet-baggers to un end. The assessor's returns from four Coun? ties in South Carolina show some curi? ous results. Charleston County, which includes the city, contains 1,634 horses, 1,764 dogs, 396 carriages, and 596 pia? nos, organs, Sec. Richland County, which ' includes Columbia, contains 661 horses, 721 dogs, 179 carriages, and 158 pianos, ?ko. Georgetown County con? tains 306 horses, 571 dogs, 156 carriages, and 52' pianos. Pickens County con tains 1,317 horses, 1,023 dogs, 225 car? riages, and 5 pianos. It is a singular biit not a favorable foot that the dogs in all bat one of these Counties outnumber the horses; nor is it indicative of indus? trial progress to see tho carriages mono? polizing so Inrge a proportion of the horses. However, it must bo taken into consideration that the war used up a vast number of horses, nnd the country has not yet recovered from its prostration sufficiently to replace its stock. Thc Charleston Neics says thut in 1860 that County had 2,747 horses Against 1,684 now; 1,613 mules against 1,240 now; and 39,741 swine against ",600 nt present. The present assessed value of personal property in tho County is S8.613.501. In 1860, tho State had 25,673 pleasure car? riage?, but tho number now is very small-a fuct which that journal alludes to as showing bow greatly tho wealth of that State und city has been diminished. Tho Grand Army of tba Republic seems to be losing cast, und is getting u good many wounds, even iu tho bouse of its friends. The New York Tribune. has lately "soured on" the organization considerably, nud thero are other less notable defections on nil hand*. This Grund Array is making n desperate effort to secure tho control of Federal patron? age in tho various departments. It is said that it has appointed a committee to examine tho clerks, with a view to se? curing tho dismissal of all who do not como np to its exalted ideas of patriot? ism. Tho vacancies, of course, lire to be filled from tho rank and file of tho Graud Army, lt is presumed that one of the questions to be propounded by Ibis in? quisition will boas follows: "Would yon tolernto tho decoration of the gr.tves'of the rebel dead?" Should there bo any hesitation, nuy equivocation, anything, in fact, short cf a prompt und decided negative, the un? fortunate clerk is doomed, ami speedy d?capitation will follow. Having already incurred the obloquy it so truly merits, as well us tho contempt of nil respectable people, this Graud Army of the Republic is now bringing upon itself tho enmity of both office seekers, and office-holders! It might sur? vive tho obloquy and contempt; but it cannot, loug exist with tho office-seekers and office-holders arrayed against it. A more formidable organization could not be devised. THU ALABAMA QUESTION.-In tho de? bate in tho Houso of Lords on tho 4th instant, on thu motion of Viscount de Redcliffe for a copy of tho Johnson Clarendon treaty, tho Viscount referred to Mr. Sumner's speech on the treaty us "an intemperate oration," and "extrava? gant to a degreo of absurdity," which, however, he said, had "met with its anti? dote in the calm judgment ^f the Ame? rican people." Ho thought if tho Bii tish Government thought proper to resume negotiations they would not have to confront such propositions as those of Mr. Sumner. He consid?red it a "base suspicion" that the United States would "bide its time," aud await u mo meut of British weakness to dictate terms. Ho paid a high tributo to Mr. Motley. Lord Clarendon expressed his preference of tho first convention, signed, by Mr. Johnsou nnd Lord Stan? ley, to that signed by himself and Mr. Johnson. He thought Mr. Sumner's speech much to bo regretted, but "too much stress should not bo laid upon it, for ho was not a member of tho Govern? ment, and thero was no reason to believe that the majority in tho Senate which voted for it supported either bis extrava? gant claims or bis statements." Ile. agreed with the Viscount that the speech is not sustained by public sentiment in America. Ho said, however much Eng? land valued peuce, it valued moro its national honor. The speaker spoke in a complimentary manner of Mr. Johnson. There seems a disposition iu both Go? vernments to postpone Hie consideration of tho Alabama question for the present. CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT. -Tho rotes of the Legislatures of four States tmly nro necessary to ratify tho fifteenth amendment. Tho States of Vermont, ivie Island, Texas, Mississippi, Geor? gia, Virginia nnd Maryland aro yet to vote on the subject. How li Fre?a to be Betti pe*-Wtitt M Victim Bnjri About II. A victim of Itidinn vengeance arrived in thia city Saturday night, departing yesterday for bis hom* in Mooroo Coun? ty, Hew York. His naroo is Dolo? (J. Sanbertson, and he lost his scalp ot the battte of Wasbitn. Perhaps the sensa? tions experienced by Mr. Sanbertson will interest and enlighten. Says he: "I was in the infantry?1 Cnstar had command of thu troops. There wo* quito a force of. cavalry with us, but they wore aboiit a mile in tho reur when we tirst discovered the reds. Some of thc troops had boen sent aronnd so us to attack from tho other side. Tho rods were camped in a sort of valley, und we were within eighty rod? of them for half an hour before daybreak. Just in the gray of morning, tho firing commenced on both Bides, and wo bad it nil our own way for a few minutes, the cursed Snakes being much confused, and not .knowing what was up. At length they rallied, and wo could hear Black Kettle shouting and ordcriug. The vermiu got into holes and rocks-anywhere they could find a place-aud bet in *? fight back with a will. We fired whenever we could see a top-knot, aud shot squaws-there was lots of them-just as quick as Indians. We just went in for wiping ont tho whol* gang. When it was fully daylight, we all gave a big yell, and charged right down into camp. The'lodges were all a standing yet, and lots af Indians in them. As we run through the alleyn, a big red jumped ont at mo from behind a tent, and b cf oro I could shorten np enough to ran him .through with my bayonet, a squaw -grabbed roo urouud the legs and twisted me down. The camp W?S trr??rinll of men fighting, and everybody seemed yelling as loud UR he could. When I fell, I went over back? ward, dropping my gun, and I had just got part way up nguiu, thesqnaw yanking mo by tho bair, when tba Indian clubbed my gun and struck me across tho neck. Ho might Just ns well have run me through; but bo wasn't used to the bayo? net, or didn't think. The blow stunned me; it didu't burt in the least, but guvu mo a numb feeling all over. I couldn't have got to roy leet then if all alone, while the squaw kept screeching, und pulling roy bair out by hauds-ful. I heard some of our boys shouting close by, aud tho squaw started aud run-on? of tho boys killing her not three yards off. The Indian stepped one foot on my chest, and with his bund gathered np the hair near tho crown of my head. Hu wasn't very tender about it, but jerked roy head this wuy and that, and pinched like Satan. My eyes were partially open, and I could seo the bead-work and trim? ming on bis leggings. Suddenly I felt tho awfulest biting, cuttiug flash go round my bead, and thou it seemed to mo as if roy whole head had been jerked j clean off I never felt such pain in ?ill j my life; why, it was like pulling your i bruins right out. I didu't know auy j moro for two or three days, and then I t came to find that I had the sorest bead of any human that ev?er lived. If tho boys killed the viper, they didn't get back my scalp; perhaps it got lost in the snow. I was shipped dowu to Laramie j after a bit, and ?ll the nursing I got j hain't made thu hair grow out on this i spot yet."-DeU-oil Free Press, June 15. THREE DEATH SENTENCES.-Tho Presi? dent has approved tho proceedings of the court martial convened at Browns? ville, Texas, July 1. 18G8, which tried Bonbon Smith, Company I, United States Cavalry, for the murder of private Johu Gray, of Company D, Twenty sixth Infantry, and- found him guilty. Ho is ordered to be banged on the 21th of September. The military commission which con? vened at Austin, Texas, on the 19th of September, 13(38, to try James Weaver, a civilian, for the murder of another civilian, named Anthony Knowles, have completed their labors by finding the accused guilty of murder in the first de? gree, and sentencing biro to be hanged. Ho will be hanged on the 24th of Sep? tember next. Tho findings of tho court martial which convened at Atlanta, Ga., July 15, 18G8, wherein private Henry Moyatt, of Company B, Sixteenth United States Iufantry, was tried for tho murder of n colored mau, named Gillespie, aud found guilty, have been submitted to tho Pre? sident, and by him disapproved, and the prisoner ordered to be discharged from custody and from the service of the United States. ABOUT " CARPET-BACIGEBS."-We copy the following from an account of the re? cent Illinois press excursion, published in the Illinois State Register, ut Spring? field: "The talk about Northern peoplo not being permitted to live in that couutry is all twaddle. It is not truu. This we? ean readily assert of our own personal knowledge of several cases in point, where persons known to bn avowed radicals in polities went South to live and make it their future home, conduct? ed themselves as good citizens, which they are, aud no people were ever re? ceived with moro cordiality and kind? ness, and none would do these same radicals au act of kindness more readily than tho uuti-e Southerner. They ur?* anxious that peoplo from the North shall come to their country aud become part of it, but they naturally want men, not the scum and refuse of the North, who leave their country for their country's good." REFRESHING).-Mr. 'Impeacher Ashley i made a speech at a "testimoniar' public j meeting in Toledo, on tho occasion of I setting out for Montana, when he mourn? fully alluded to "tho growing corruption ' of polities," and deprecatingly declared 1 that "the roost sickening scramble for i ollice ever witnessed was during the first two months of General Grant's udmiuis I tration." I Many of tho richest planters of Ja I arnica live on coffee-grounds. E-? Ou Wita tito Dance. A new device, worse while it lanta than huud-shakiug, has been., invented to vex the soul of General Grant, torture bis toes, and ?bake him from bl? equanimi? ty. . Thia device is the device of dancing Wherever he goes now a quadrille is pre pured to ensnare him, and be is asked to' lead off iu the act of honor, lt was so last wuek ut Annapolis, and again this week at1West Point. And what ia true of the President, is also true of the Gene? ral, both of whom would probably face any other kind of "build" rather than these, and go through nny amount- of marching rather than one such "hop." At Annapolis, wo ?ir.-? told. Graut, instead of ''lead mg P" in his set, was very .sub? missively led off. evidently knowing no moro of the figures, nnd doing them no bettor, than a "frozen-toed turkey." Sherman, on tho other hand, was, says Jenkins, "awkward, ami quito as bold a a uk ward, taking ateps like bis soldiers marching to tho sea." As for Grunt, says the same authority, "ho had a snared look on hits face that moved your heart:" "Every figure was to him tho Wilder? ness over again., aud more fearful. He turned away too soon from his partner, and turned to the nextJady, holding lip bia bamis appealingly, like un iuuocent kitten v.ith its burnt paw?, and lost him? self constantly ul moat beyond recovery. For every step bo took he seemed he v.?uld prefer facing another Donclson. The duties nf high office had worn him considerably. It? pleasure threatened to bo bia co up de grace." AH thjf wc tuk'o to bo literally true, be? cuna o the- testimony to it is uniform ami unvarying. And as again nt West Point, a conscientious reporter declares: "The attempts of the President nnd General Shetmau to go. through th?? dance with credit were by no moana .suc? cessful, the Chief Magistrate seeming to lack energy, the General of the Army, on the other hand, exhibiting un immense amount of motive vim, but wanting sadly in judgment." Captains in vain punched tins 'Presi? dent; in vain did Colonels poll back thu t louerai; und at length, we are told, the President, "very much abashed, deserted the Terpsichorean field," followed by General Sherman, who was much better satisfied with his performances in that line. Wo repeat, therefore, that this business ought to be abundoued, in mercy to our high officers. Not every on?; that shone at Waterloo cut a fine figure nt the Brussels ball the night before. At all cveuts, wc drop the hint that if Boston will spare General Grunt it repetition of this later torture, and all other people will do likewise, they will establish a strong claim upon tho President's grati? tude.-Nein York Times. Tire ADMISSION OF COLORED PEOPLE To PLACES OV AMUSEMENT.-The action of thu Washington City Councils, in regard to tho admission of colored people to places of amusement on thc same footing as the whites, attracts attention through? out the country, and there sectas lo be considerable difference of opinion amongst the Republican press us to the wisdom of tho course adopted. The Chicago Tribune, tho leading Republican paper of tho West, has the following iu regard to the matter: "Some ill-advised people in Washing? ton ure endeavoring to proenre u city ordinance compelling tho hotels of that city to accommodate colored guests on thu sumo terms, ami at thu Raine tables as whites, or forfeit their licenses. An ordinance has already been passed pro? viding for aunulliug tho licenses of theatres, unless they shall seat negroes and whites without distinction on account of color. So far from being Democratic, or in accordance with the principles of equality, such attempts are as flagrantly at war with equalit;, of right as they are with politeness. Tho only persons who arc affected by obtruding colored guests at ii hotel or in a theatre ure the other guests or attendants and the proprietor. Nineteen-twentiutliH bf these would bu white under uuy circumstances, and the effect of snob a measure is to enable one black mun or woman to force his or her company upon nineteen white men or women who do not desire it. Displeas? ing the nineteen to jilease the one, iu u matter of mere association ami taate, is not equality, bi.e the grossest inequality. Hotels and theatres ure not public offices, or Government institutions. They are not supported by taxes, like free schools, nor do they enjoy any legislative mono? poly like railroads. They u fier entertain? ments and amusement merely. Tho only I function the Government has in relation to them is to preserve order; not to regu? late tho class of people who shall go to them." The Pall Mall Gaz-tie mentions the ro eurrenoe of an extraordinary phenome? non recorded by Herod i tua as having been observed in remote times hythe tribes inhabiting tho shores of the Cas? pian Sea. That huge salt lake is dotted with islands from w hich enormous quan? tities of uaptha are yearly taken. Early last month, owing to subterranean dis? turbances, tho naptha wells on these islands overflowed, and the inflammable substance spread over tb? entire surface of the laka. It accident ly took fire, and for forty-eight hours burned furiously over u surface of many thousands of square miles, presenting n magnificent and terrifying spectacle to tho inhabi? tants of thu surrounding country, who imagined that the end of the world was at baud. The fish in tho lake were en? tirely destroyed, aud for miles around vegetation was parched, and tho country made like a desert. An M. C. recently in debate shouted, i "/I Wt IC Hil Piala, amiens, Socrates, sed ma \jor Veritas." Tho reporter next morn ! mg made the speech read: "I may cuss Plato, I may cuss Socrates, said Major Veritas." r-v>.tiAii EQUALITY.-A negro woman in t1 Southern part of this State recently give birth to twins-ono white and the other black. I The Athen* Banner never said ? truer thing than the following: I "The white people of this country cnn I afford to be patient sud kind toward tho ! uegro, in dealing with this question, nod it inquires no special sagacity to foresee that the effort to elevate him in advance of his fitness, and against the will of those who oontrol the business interests abd property of tho country, must re? bound and end iu failure. Just in pro? portion as tho negroes seek office, nnd 'avail themselves nf temporary looal ma? jorities to get it, just iu that proportion will they hasten the adoption of a busi? ness policy which displaced thom, and secures tho inevitable supremacy of the superior race." FEARFUL DEATH OP A YOUNO WIFE. - The wife of Hezekiah Oreeulee, of Ma? son Oontoty, West Virginia, was ins!.mt ly killed a few day3 since, under circum? stances of a most distressing character, lu company with her husband, she was returning homo by a near path through the woods from a neighbor's, where her husband had been at work during the tlay. They were walking hund-in-haud, not ?Irenming of uuy danger, when u dead tree they had just pussed suddenly fell, brushing tho shoulder of Grnenlee, mid .striking his wife on the top of the bead, crushing her to the earth so that ber re niaius could scarcely be recognized its those of a human being. TERRIRLE AFFAIR IN IDAHO.-Tho most horrible tragedy of tho day has been furnished by Bois City, Idaho. A servant attempted to outrage bis em? ployee's wifo in the absence of every one else from tho house, and became so ex? asperated by her resistance that, he beat her nearly to death. Her assailant leav? ing tho room for a moment to procure a weapon, she managed to reaeb her husband's gnu and cock it. The. man soon appeared at the window, but the gun would nut go off, and in the mean? time he fired three shuts at her. One of which produced a fatal wound. Then he retired, set tire to the house and kill? ed himself with the remaining two shots in bis pistol. The poor woman whom hu bud murdered had just the strength left to crawl out of the door and preserve ber body on tho greensward for tb? re? cognition of her husband, instead of compelling a search for the charred re? mains among the ruins of bis house. The murderer himself fell inside the dwelling and was cousumed, so far as his mortal part is coueerned, by fire. GEN. GRANT NOT FLUENT OF SPEECH The Boston correspondent of the New York Tribune thus relates nu incident of Gen. Grant's visit, which oconnell on Wednesday : "At last the President came, escorted by more dignitaries, and introduced by the Hon. A. li. Kicn. What the Go? vernor said, and what Grant said the telegraph has told you, but not bow Grant looked us he said it. You could have knocked him down with a feather, livery word was spoken as though, like a swollen cork, it had been drawn with great difficulty; and the speech was de? livered iu st) low a voice as to bo unintel? ligible except to the illuminated. Fi? nally, the President faltered and stuck It was no use. Ho could not muko speech." ?-??-? THE COLORED DOCTORS IN WASHING? TON.-The. rrjeutiou of tho applications of tho colored doctors, Purvis and Au? gusta, for membership in the Medical Society of the District of Columbia ii exciting considerable comment. Th* Washington Star, in explaining the case, says: "The question was simply that of ail nutting them to social fellowship. Tbi board of examiners nf tho society grunt ed licenses to Dis. Purvis and Angust? to practice, as soon as they made applica lion; and it is claimed that this is tin lir.st instance in the country where ain medical society has given colored praoti tloners any status. Tho society did UOl quito como up to the mark of receiving the colored doctors into sooial affiliation bul they have shown themselves quite a: exclusive in regard to numerous wbiti applicants in the past. The coloree practitioners will, ns they become bettei known, bo able to dispel every prejudice to their social disadvantage. Tuc Medi ?al Society of this District was fnraiei with a view to prescribing u test for (jua lificatious for practitioners in order tt shut off quackery. The board of exa miners ot tho society are authorize! to license applicants to practice who ari aole to show themselves properly qnali tied; and by the charter of the souiet; every person who undertakes to pructic without such license is liable, to a line o $50 in each case. It is not requisito thu tho applicant shall bo: of any part?cula -eliooi of medicine, but ho must show ; knowledge of medicine and the qualiti cations for practice. Dis. Augusta am Purvis have received their licenses fron i lie Medical Society here, asabovo stated and have all the legal rights of any prac thinners in the District." There is some talk among tho exlrt! mists of carrying tho matter to Congress and making au ell,?rt to deprive tho soci cty of its charter. There is a hog in IJ >S Angelos, Cali for ll ia, of thc Irisli glazier br? eil, no? three and a hnlf years old, winch men sines niue feet from the tip of the nos to the lip of the tail, forty inches i height, and is as thick I h rough s an Ol The breed grows till five year? of ng? ami there is no saving what the weight i this will be should lt live to thu ag named. A year anti a half ago it weigh? 70 , pou inls. Now it is estimated to Weig about 1,250 pounds. A French duelist coming homo froi Ins last meeting gave two Napoleons t thc coachman. "Many thanks; it is pleasure to drive you out!" "I beg you pardon; it is not for driving me out tim I give you those two louis; it is fe (hiving me homo again." Iiooal X-te m ?. Geo. Wade Humpton arrived in Co? lumbia on Saturday. An excursion train will be run over tho Columbia and Augusta Railroad on Thursday next-allowing passengers to spoud a night in Augusta and return to Columbia the next day. The [ure for the round trip will be $3. The Rev. Bishop Andrews, D. D., senior Bishop of tho Methodist Episco? pal Church South, being now ou a visit to Columbia, will preach in tho Washing? ton Street Chapel, to-morrow (Wednes? day) evening, at a quarter past 8. Claude Wyinau, tho wizard, prestidi? gitateur aud ventriloquist, gives ooo or two of his amusing entertainments in Jan ney's Hall, commencing on Thursday evening, the 24th. If ho can "Presto! change," this par'ionlarly hot weather, ho will create a favorable impression on thu public nt large.

The remarks were called forth by u letter from a sob scriber, asking the address of a promi? nent firm doing business in that city, aud dealing largely in musical instru? ments. This firm were quite extensive advertisers, but had always advertised in what is very properly called the "spas? modic fashion." This manner has be? come much too common everywhere. Many advertisers seem to regard an oc? casional card of moro than ordinary length and attraotiveness moro effica? cious than a standing advertisement. They forget that tho on\y object of ad? vertising at all is to causo names to be indelibly associated with their business. Or, if they havo this end in view, their practice ?a inconsistent with their mo? tives. If it bo of any udvnutugo to ad? vertise a month, it is certainly more ad? vantageous to advertise weekly; and rea? soning syllogisticully, the daily method is far preferable to either. TnE CITIZENS' SAVINOS BANK.-We invite attention to the advertisement of this institution to be found in our co lumms, and avail ourselves of tho oppor? tunity to express our gratification at tho establishment of such u bank in this city. Such an institution has been long needed here, and we are fortunato in having the want so satisfactorily sup? plied. Tho policy and utility of savings banks havo been amply vindicated by experience, aud their existence in utmost every city of the country is an evidence of their supplying a general want. Our mechanics, clerks, farmers and others desiring to lay aside and augment their | savings, have now an opportunity which j wc trust will not bo neglected. We re gard the Citizens' Savings Bank as a de- j cided benefit to the public, and it is in our . power, cordially, to commend it to the confidejce of tho community and the. State at large. The absolute confidence j reposed in General Hampton, its Presi- ! dent, tho high character of its other officers and of its Board of Directors, the j prudence and integrity with which wo 1 feel assured its affairs will be managed, j these afford tho amplest guarantee ns to j tho security of nil funds entrusted to its ? care. MERCANTILE PEINTINO.-All kinda of mercantile printing,' such as circulars, letter beads, cards, bill Leads, state? ments, &0., for con uti tig-rooms and ofBoes, promptly uttentod to at the P7.ce nix job office. The Vigilant Fire Engiue Company (colored) had a trial of their engiue, yes? terday; hut the hoso being in bad order, tho trial WUK not satisfactory. An oyster shell and a piece of brick was forced through the bose, and under thc pressure, they burst. Jon OFFICE.-Tho Phonix Job Office is prepared to execute every style of printing, from visiting and business cards to pamphlets und books. With ample material and first-class workmen, satis? faction is guaranteed to all. If our work does not como up to contract, we make no charge. With this understanding our business men have no excuse for sending work North.
