COLUMBIA, S. C. Friday Morning, July ?. 186ft. Coat of Xlanut?K fox Office. The expense of running for office in France is said to be lees than io this Country or England. Member? of the British Parliament are represented os paying from ?3,000 to ?10,000 for their ?eats, and receive no per diem. A seat in Congress is often obtained by un ex? penditure equal to tho first year's salary, bat then there is a chance, if the elect has the faculty of holding on, of ulti? mately reimbursing himself in one way or other. In France, a candidate in tho city of Paris for Deputy is subjected to about $2,000 election expenses, consist? ing of charges for printing and posting his! address to tho electors, advertising in the journals, renting tho salles whore speeches are made, und paying thc men who distributo the tickets at the entrance to the polls. But this expenditure is re? duced by n very admirable custom, which allows tho voters to contribute towards it. At each met ting held by the candi? dates prior to tie election, there is a box placed on a table at the entrance of the salle, and into this the voters each throw a few francs. The box is given to tho candidate, and the money thus received generally remunerates him for about one-half of Iiis expenses; so that his election or defeat will not cost him moro than $1,000. In the provinces tho pro? cess is desoribed as more costly, the rural mind being mest susceptible of conviction through dinners and sour wine. The deputy, however, holds office for six years, and as living is cheap, the pay is sufficient, eveu without extras. Bunning for office in this country, how? ever, now-a-dnys, in too many instances, costs more to the candidate in u moral than a pecuniary senso; and so it may be elsewhere. Unless men of high personal character generally shall be induced to enter the lists for public position, there is little chance of any great reform in this matter. Tho Baltimore Sun gives the following interesting aoconnt of thc manner in which elections are conducted in Europe: The process of voting nt elections in Franco is couductcd with a quietness and sobriety in marked contrast to thc unceremoniousness and occasional disor? der aud violenco which characterize elec? tions in this country. A Paris corres poudont speaks of the extreme propriety with which an election by universal suf? frage ia conducted in that country. II( says tho voting is of n very simple ant sedate character; the elector hus mereh to walk into a room us quiet as a ehnrcl -indeed, a great deal quieter than mosl Paris churches on a Sunday-where In finds five persons seated together ai grave, as judges, and there, fast pr?sout iug his "electoral curd," to be compar?e with thc register, ho drops his voting ticket iuto tho ballot-box, and tho thiu( is done. It is impossible to imagim anything better conducted, sud the de comm of the proceeding certainly male?' it a "serious" affair. Were the freedon of elections in France as perfect as thei good order, they would leave littlo to bi desired. Each elector, before voting must take out for himself in person ai electoral card from his owm mairie where his name and address are known and without which ho cannot vote. A every card is cancelled by tearing oft' tb corner when used, and is never issue? twice lo the same person, there can b neither fraudulent voting nor persouifi cation, and no delay or dispute eve seems to avise. Tho bureau which sn perin tends the polling is formed of president and four assessors. The for mor is appointed by the local nd min is tration; tho latter, according to tho terra of tho law, ought to consist of the "tw oldest aud two youngest electors presen who can read and write." The ballot box, which stands before the president bas two padlocks, with difierent keys whioh are kept by the assessors. When an elector goes to tho mairie o his district to take ont his eloctor.il caul a blank voting ticket is also supplie him, on which he may himself write th name of his candidate if he likes. Ba most voters use tlio printed ticket which they find at the door of tho pol! ing place, and the habit is to take oue ?. these tickets of each candidate, so tin no oue who is looking on oan toll wilie Btends to use. When h: has been compared wit no of tho assessors teal it, so that it may m d returns it to tho electo: )sits his voting tickot, r president receives it froi it into tho box, throug lid. Tho ballot-boxes < ??tions are all carried uft< ho mairio of tho elector; ted by tho national guan also by a body of zealot often remain on guai nigh tho night, comm and order aro man russian elections. Electo: o voting apartment wil boy would exhibit in oi tering a private residence, exchangii: tho compliments of tho day to tho ollici who, sitting at a table, receives the votos, and puss out, politely bowing. These examples are worthy to bo coi sidored by those of our politicians wi think and teach that, in order for tl peoplo to be sovereigns, they may ceo: to bo gentlemen without discredit themselves and their institutions. Tl very best type of republicanism is th of decency and toleration. They a the highest characteristics of true liber* The registration in Virginia is over, auotitis thought by the Richmond Ex? amine? that tho result will allow thai "tho whites hive gained from 10,000 to' 20,OpO Votes $jrer the blacks/' Such ia the form of the statement, and it is la? mentable that so clear an evidence boa to be given of a contest, as it were, be? tween the races. It is stated that in the Valley alone the whites have gained at least 8,000. As matters stand on tho record, it is thought there is now in the State a white majority of 30,000 or 35,000. The Richmond Whig says that by the registration of 1867 the blacks ap? peared to be able to elect a majority of twenty-one members of tho House of Delegates. Albemarle with three dele? gates, Richmond and Heurico with eight, and Norfolk with two, showed negro ma? jorities. But there is information that theso have been wrested from them. Thirtucu from one side, added to the other, makes a difference of twenty-six, which gives the conservatives the House of Delegates by five. A much largor majority is expected, and a proportionate majority in the Senate. -? ?? ? ? TU? Fourth of July. Mit. EDITOR: Having noticed some discussion in your paper na to the ob? servance of this day by our people, I venture to throw out a few considera? tions. One question that has arisen is, whether Saturday or Monday should be kept ns a holiday, the Fourth itself coming on Sunday. This question strikes me as a very immaterial, one un? til the lind question is answered, viz: Shall we of the South celebrate what, by a figuro of speech, is culled the "na? tional anniversary," at all; and if so, in what manner? To this point alone I shall address myself. There is no doubt in my mind that the pooplo of the South should observe this day; on each recurring anniversary, with the most earnest and jealous solicitude. It marked the inauguration of a great rebellion, when our people, groaning uuder a military despotism, taxed with? out representation, having thc basest rulers imposed on them without their consent, declared "that all men were boru free and equal, and that all govern? ment rested on tho consent of the go? verned." "When Washington, Jefferson, Madison, ?nd ?ich. Sinned with a great transgesaion, In their old-fashioned notions of freedom and right, And their hatred of wrong and oppression. And when, appealing to the god of bat? tles, they declared that they would rather die freemen than live slaves. Every school-boy in our country knows what was tho result of tho contest that sprung from this great rebellion of 'TC; the rebels and traitors triumphed; they threw off tho "best government in tho world," and set np another in its stead. But what was tho result? After the lapse of three-quarters of a century, the descendants of Washington, of Henry, of Jefferson, of Madison, of Lowndes, Rutledge, Marion and Piuckuey, acting on tho bad example taught by the rebels of '76, and under tho fatal delusion that the principles enunciated in tho Declara? tion of Independence applied to themas well us to the dwellers around Plymouth Rock, re-enacted the great drama of '70, and declared themselves "freo and inde? pendent." But snob crimes do not always go unpunished of Heaven. The rebels of '76 not only succeeded in their wicked purposes, but mankind was 60 blinded by that success, ns to call thom patriots. But the rebels of '61, thoir sous, have been justly punished for the sins of their fathers. Their declaration that all governments derive their powers from tho consent of the governed, has been laughed to scorn. Their assertion that "they were, and of right, ought to be, free," has been de? nied; and for daring to exercise the rights they supposed assured to thom by tho immortal Declaration of Independ? ence-tho righi lo be free-they have been made slaves. Tho Federal bayonet tells us that the "rebellion" of '61 was a great crime; Federal Sonators and Federal preachers reiterate the assertion, and the great lesson tho South has now to learn is that the 3tira of all wickedness is "re? bellion," while tho perfection of all Christian grace, is "loyalty." Let us profit by theso stern lessons. While we deplore among our desolated homes, our prostrate cities, our overthrown nltars, our kindred's graves, tho great crime wo have committed in wishing lo be free, let us bemoan, as we should do, tho suc? cess of the rebels and traitors of '76. To this end, would it not bo well for tho peo? ple of tho South to keop every Fourth of July as a day of "fasting, humiliation and prayer"-fasting and humiliation for thc rebels of '76 and '61, and prayer that God may forgive them and restore our people at last to that great and good go? vernment which tho traitors of '76 throw off. LOYALIST. A speech of one of tho most thorough Republicans that can be found in tho North: "It is al! d-d nonsense to talk about a fow adventurers taking control of tho negroes, and with thom govern? ing the intelligent people of Virginia the people who hnvo tho talents aud the property of the State. It is a d-d out? rage-ono that no people in the North would submit to, aud ono which ought to bo forced on no people!" That's the wholo question in n nut-shell. WI ion a cow or ox gets choked, strap np a fore leg, aud compel tho animal to jump. This will cause the obstacle to Hy out. A PLUCKY FKMA&B DjrracTiv*. -For the lost two years th? Government ba? i bait detectives o? acknowledged ability engaged in hunting up A nest of counter? feiters, and on Monday last w?re aucooae fuf ?n arresting the two prinoipal Ting leaders, near Huntington, Ina. After. the United States doteotive had obtained 11 a sure clue of their whereabouts, he brought his wife on the scene, and through her arrangements were com? pleted for purchasing the dies for $650, the same to be delivered to her in a se? cluded placo, uear Huntington, where she was to como wholly unprotected. Deputy United States Marshal Mussier and a force proceeded to within a short distance of whero tho lady and counter? feiters were negotiating. Tho bargain had been concluded, nnd the latter were driving away, when the officers came down upon them with drawn pistols, and arrested, without assistance, James Well? ing, Tom Sulisbury aud William McMo nugal, tho principals, their confederate makiug his escape, with about half the Eurchaso of tho dies. Salisbury and [cMonagal wero taken to Fort Wayne, and had their hcuriug before Cominis- I sinner Wheedou. They made no de? fence, and were committed to jail to await trial in the "United States Court. The plates secured aro of twenty-five cent denominations, nnd are, without doubt, the most perfect imitations ever executed, aud tho country is flooded with currency made from theso dies. Eight or ten persons ure now in tho Peniten? tiary who have been detected using them, nnd until now the, present officers were unable to capture them. The de? tective's wife is deserving of gmat praise for cool courage, nuder the circum? stances, as ore ?he entire force engaged in hunting down this nest, though there is doubtless a large number of others nt liberty yet-but the dou is brokeu up. The postmaster of Mina, New York' recently addressed the following com" mu nient ion to Washington: MINA, CHAUTAUQUA COUNTY, N. Y., May 19, 1869. First Assistant Postmaster-General. DEAR SIR: I asked you for my resigna? tion some tiuio ago, and recommend Alexander D. Holdridgo to bo postmas? ter of this office; it is tho peoplo's wish, and he being a Republican and I a De? mocrat, I thought it would bo imme? diately attended to. My business is such that I must go to Iowa, to be gone two or three months; my wife died last July; my daughter and deputy must bo absent also. I um nu old man, born 1800. My grand-father was a cousin to Ethan Allen; and now, %%Jty the Great Jehovah and the Continental Congress," I demand mg resignation. The Japanese now coming into Cali? fornia promise to bo a most valuable order of immigrants. Those who have purchased the 000 acres of the Adza Ranch will be quito an industrial colony, cultivating thc tea plant, the silk worm aud its tree, tho bamboo esculents, which will taste like a mixture of artichoke and asparagus, and tho fish harvests, which will bc nourished in large lime-cemented I tanks or lakes. Their Japan silk worms feed on the onk and other trees, produc? ing a beautiful grey silk, and their tea nuts give "China oil," which makes such a clear pure light. The Japauese are al? together tho best instructed immigrants coming to our shores. It is curious to observe that the New York post office always sends to Europe a much greater number of letters than it receives from that part of tho world. For the mouth of May, it sent nwav .420,553 letters, and received 891,062. This seems to show that tho mass of tho foreigners settled in this country write home to their old friends oftener than the latter write to them. That rule, however, ia broken in a single instance. Tho Italians scud homo but 4,569 letters for 7,893 brought over to them. Are they more hard-hearted than tho rest of mankind? Or do they refrain from writ? ing till Italy shall be entirely free, with Home for its capital? FIVE DOLLARS A MONTH.-The Wash? ington K.c]>rcss sa3's that a Chinese Im? migration Company has been formed ut St. Louis, and another at Memphis, for the purposo of bringing Chinamen from the Pacific coast to work on the South? ern sugar and cotton plantations. This company will import tho workmen and complote thc contracts. The wages, it is said, will bo only $4 or $5 a mouth and cheap rations, and tho coolies being peaceable, laborious aud thrifty, will bo patient under restraint and heavy lubor. I As laborers on tho Pacific Railroad they I rendered satisfaction by doing their work i well und without creating dissatisfaction. | It is usual to send the studonts at tho United States Naval Academy on au oc? casional short voyugo, in order to fit them for their duties. Tho New Orleans Times thinks it both proper and politic to giyo tho cadets nt West Point a simi? lar opportunity, by sending them out by tho Pacific Railroad for a hunt among tho hostilo Indians. By this means they would "get their hand in" early at tho killing business, nntl it would savo considerable uxponso to tho Government in enlisting troops for tho purpose. Even tho casualties resulting would lean toward tho score of economy, as tho ca? dets aro much moro oxpensivo than en? listed men. Jmigo Drummond, of Chicago, has decidod that express companies havo the right to forward letters accompany? ing consignments in unstampod enve? lopes. The caso in which the decision was given was that of tho Post Office Department against tho United States Express, to recover the penalty pro? scribed by law for tho alleged forward? ing of rnuilablo innttor not enclosed in stamped envelopes.

At Rockaway the 5nests of a hftcJL were thrown to the oor in the parlor in which they were ossemblod; and a gentleman from Now York, caught on tint beach, was struck by lightning and kjlcd; and in many parts of WestchesterjCounty, oxen were killed, trees uprooted and other damage done.

NEW ORLEANS.-7ho construction of a ship caunl from Now Orleans to Lake Ponchartrain, it is tssorted, would dimi? nish tho port charge*, in pilotage und towage alono, by tho sum of 81,800 on a vessel of 1,000 tops burdon. At pre? sent it costs 82,555 to bring a vessel of that sizo from tbe DOUth of the Missis? sippi to Now Orleans. Tho charges to bring a vessel of l,0iO tons burden from the ocean to the vharves amount to S570 at Boston, and 867G at New York. It is argued, therofop?, that a ship canal at New Orleans would place that port on an equality with Nortieru cities. A PENT CA?E^?~-II tho case of tho owners of the ^V?ucl Coffee House rs. P. J.

A DociiLE APPOINTMENT.-Gen. J. C. Robinson recently cilled upon the Pre? sident, and thanked him for appointing Iiis son a cadet to'Vest Point, but de? clined the honor, on the ground that thc President had alreuly appointed tho same young man a cadet at the naval icadeniy. The body of a mon buried in Balti? more, eight years a?o, was disintcrrod recently, and found to bo almost as per? fect in appearance at at the time of buri d, except that it was completely petri? fied. The clothing of tho body was en? tirely gone, but tho body was solid and done-like-hard aid chalky to the touch. Ex-Alderman Aquila Haines, of Phi? ladelphia, attempted to commit suicide m Monday last.

With ample material and first-class workmen, satis? faction is guaranteed to all. If our work does not come np to contract, we maka nocharge. With tins understanding our business men havouo excuse for scuding work North. THE HEATED TERMS.-As thc sum? mer has pct in with a remarkable degree of heat, we inquire with interest into the causes which produce or promoto this state of affairs-merely for a temporary satisfaction, however; somewhat of the nature of the scrutiny wc give to disease them is no evading. According to a late scientific report issued by tho Regents of the University of the State of New York, we have a balancing of winds or air cur? rents, so that a perfect calm prevails, none but local currents passing ont of the heated region, nod nono from with? out it passing in. Another condition is a clear sky, with littlo vapor in tho air to reflect back tho sun's rays, and its diroct rays become intensely scorching. As a third condition generally, though not always present, there will arise by evapo? ration within this enclosure of winds moisture enough to over-spread it, (not, perhaps, with visible clouds,) and thus, while it offers no obstruction to tho passage of the sun's mys through to the earth, it absorbs and reflects back all of those that are radiated from the earth, and constitutes an ovcu-liko enclosure, with the wulla of winds for its sides, and tho mass of vapor for a dome. This produces not only hot, but sultry wea? ther. So muoh for scientific explana? tion ; but paramount is the experience of those who scorch ia this prison-like dome of tho winds. What eau any one I tell us cf heated terms that we do not know already? Fortunately in this city wo havo during tho summer a sufficient play of breeze to temper the extreme heat, but wo know of districts where tho whole atmosphere seems !?u exhausted receiver for the vitality it seems to hold. It is drowso and scorch all day and a grand nieleo with mosquitoes nt nil hours, gnats between times, and the evils arising from a sun-baked earth aud a sk}' like a brazen shield thrice heated. Heated terms-times when the tinkle of the ice-pitcher is the only sound which carries with it hope and comfort when wo dream of cold mountain streams aud affect Arctic literature-when our favorite picture of flic Highland snow? storm is huug with due regard to any unnecessary exertion in studying out its details-when our ideas, instead of com? ing out in crisp epigrams, maunder on in n weak flow which has no more spirit than a second drawing of tea-when, in fact, lifo is utterly savorless, and uncom? fortably moist. Whether the season will bring us one or moro "heated terms" it is impossiblo to say. It has set in with soverity enough, but rains may temper the heat, and the joy which comoth with tho morning may make us forget tho troubles of a night. However, tho clothing should bo light and loose, and of such a character that the oir can readi? ly pass through it. It should bo chnnged often. Clothing worn during tho day should uot be worn at night. The en? tire body should be bathed every day so as to keep tho pores open and the skin clean. Perspiration should not be checked but encouraged, if one does not perspire easily. Perspiration necessitates evaporation, and ovn]iorr.tiou cools. Eat sparingly, and avoid everything of a heating, stimulating or irritating charac? ter, as salts, spices, condiments, sweets, fats, tea, coffee, tobacco, alcoholic drinks, Ac. Tho diet should consist principally or entirely of fruits, berries and vege? tables. Tho only proper drink is water. Tho following lines on "Mid-Day in Summer" will very appropriately closo this dissertation: Lo! lying in tho flerco meridian heat, Tho beauteous earth look* like a thing that dreams, And all o'ercomo with stupor strangely sweet, She wholly in tho warm eun'a clutches acorns. Cowa ?eek the shed's cool shade; in eobor wiso, So lazily through tho languid noontide air, A crow llios from tho high green hill that lies Aback boyond tho dat. Tho heat, tho glare Chalks ont tho white highway that mas along The distant upland.
