COLUMBIA, S. "C." FricUy Morning:, August 6, 1869. CUFFEE OWNS SOUTH CABOLLNA.-It is currently reported that a colored Sena? tor recently told a largo Assembly of bia constituents (blacks): "The white peo? ple any they are going to bring coolies and white emigrants to this country. But ibis country is ours; wu'vu got thc Legislature, and we won ft allow-it-and we won't We'll put the white mnn ten feet under ground, and ns to the coolies, we'll put them twenty feet." The Kew York World, in commenting on the sudden popularity of enfranchise? ment of tho "white folk" of the South, expresses the following very decided opinion: "The anomaly of keeping down the superior race is a failure, after fire yean of Congress and the army to bolster it np. This is the abandonment df reconstruction. Its key-stono was white disfranchisement. That pulled ont, the whole arch falls. It has fallen, and will soon be buried out of sight." Furnia MACHETES.-If we may bolievo Che current reports, they have a flying machine in San Francisco, which will make the airy voyage from that city to New York in twenty-four hours. In theso days of multitudinous and multifarious invention, it is hardly safe to express a doubt of the practical chances of any machine whatever; and when the San Francisco Highflyer bas arrived in New York, wo promise to celebrate it in he? roic verse, and still moro heroic prose. Wo already begin to feel a sort of con? tempt for the attraction cf gravitation, serial curronts, atmospheric pressure, and tho fusty old laws of nature, whicl havo heretofore been deemed omuipo tent. Only it would be rather moro sa tisfactory if we could see the machine. The San Francisco papers say thc expo rimental trips were successful, and thal a machino 150 feet long is being built. Border law has iu all times and colin tries been understood to bo a verv ^uc sided sort of law-very good foi J< who livo on the right side of the i< . very bad for all others. It flourLsnoc especially in those rude ages whci enemy and stranger were described b; the same word, and has its couuterpar in the disposition which is said at tin day, in some of the remote districts c England, upon the appearance of stranger, to prompt the exclamation: "Punch his 'ead." Tho latest illustrr tra ti on of this spirit of frontier justice combined with prejudice of color an race, is furnished by telegraph froi Kansas. Two persons near Fort Beuto were fired upon by Indians and one t them wounded. The occurrence bein reported in town, so incensed the cit zens that they straightway took thrc Indians, who happened to be in town i the time, having como in for the pu poso of trading, and hung them out < hand-thus most illogically punishinj as a cotemporary observes, for the ou rage committed, "the only three Indiai who by no possibility could have had hand in it." This is the law of rotuli tion, pushed to nu unwarrantable e treme. Thc same cotemporary remark that whatever truth there may bo iu tl frontier saying that "there are no got Indians but dead Indians," it would n take many occurrences of tho kiud justify the opinion that there are i good white frontiersmen at all. If tl: is border law, wo are afraid the Frieu who have thc interests of the Iudiaus hand will bo nuder tho necessity of a plying to tho General Government to pi tect their charges against the white mai justice. -? ? ? ? A COXORESSIONAIJ CANDIDATE SHOT A: FATALLY WOUNDED.-A dispatch to t Republican Ronner, dated Con rt lac Ala., August 2, says: "About ii o'clock this afternoon, wh Dr. Haughey, Conservative Republic candidate for Congress, was on the sta delivering n speech, ho said all the Hin speakers were hirelings. Hinds rep Rents tho extreme Radical wiug of t Republican party, nud is also a cc gressioual candidate.

Pnghe, which hos caused considerable curiosity among our city readers, was before; Judge Gibson all day yesterday. Tho" oqunsol of Pagho filed a plea denying that the presses, fixtures, types and good will of tho Daily Press were a part of the partnership as? sets, and insisting that the issue made by tho plea should bo submitted to a jury at this (tho appearance) term. This was resistod by the complainants' counsel, and after a..long and exhaustive argu? ment tho Court decided that tho facts put in issue-by tho plea must be decided upon the hearing of thu bill and answer at the regular trial term. The counsel for Pnghe then moved for a dissolution of the injunction upon the coming in of the answer, swearing off all the equity of the bill. To 8nstain tho allegations of the answer, affidavits of Beard and Hale, both colored, were read. Both of these negroes swore that they were largo Stock? holders in the Loyal ueorgian concern Beard that he owned $1,000 of the stock -and Hale that he was the largest stock? holder, though he could not say defi? nitely how large his interest was. Affidavit? in support of the charges of the bill were read, made by 13 ut look. Bryan, Conley, Blodgett, Bowies, Prince - jd Bice. These affidavits not only re? affirmed all the charges in the bill, but contained new and important facts, and made astounding disclosures of the work? ings of the so-called Georgia printing concern. Pnghe rejoined with a lengthy affidavit, in which he took plain un indis? tinct issue with the statements in tue affidavits of Bullock, Blodgett Sc Co. Tho contradictions in matters of fact were of such a character as to preclude tho idea that they were mere honest dif? fering^ of opinion. There was not an individual in tho court-room who wns not fully satisfied that perjury was com? mitted by ono side or thc other. [Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel, otk. SOUTHERN SECURITIES IN NEW YORK. Tho Herald, of Moudny, in its financial review, makes the following report of thc market for Southern securities: Southern securities were generally heavy and dull. The recent violent iluctuatious in the Teuucssecs and North Carolinas, supposed to result from the manipulation of State officials, have driven investment, seekers to other and moro reliable securities. The North Ca ; linas and Teunessees were bettor towards thc close of the week, but only from what is regarded as a change in the spe? culative tactics of the aforesaid officials. Tho South Carolinas were weaker also through an apprehension that tho State is falling iuto the danger of lending as? sistance to certain railroad enterprises. The following were the closing prices of thc Southern list on Saturday evening: Tenncssces, ex-coupon, GQ(tt\G&}4; do. new, ?Gp.jYr??T; Virginias, ex-coupon, 58J.i(3,59; do. new, GlO'Gl?^; Georgia sixes, 85(3:8514; do. sevens, 91* ?(3.92; North Carolinas, ex-coupon, 57(f?57'.j; do. new, 51*2(3 52; Louisiana sixes, 09^ (3/70; Alabama eights, 93?JO. 1)1; do. lives, 64(3,65; do. sixes, storling, 90(3)91; South Carolina sixes, 64(3 66; do. new, 62(363}.;; do. regular stock, 04(365; Memphis and Charleston, first, 85(3.89; do. second, 74@76; do. stock, 45(3,47; Greenville and Columbia Railroad, gua? ranteed, 67(2>G9. DEATH OF MANSON JOLLY.-This news will be received with regret by the many friends of this bold and daring Confede? rate soldier. We learn that a private letter has been received stating that Manson Jolly was drowned on the Nth of July, near his home in Texas. He was building a residence on the opposito side of the creek from where he lived, i and had crossed over on horseback seve? ral times during the day. Tho stream was greatly swollen, and in attempting to cross for the third or fourth titue, ho was carried, with his horse, down tho I creek, and in tho struggle which ensued, both were drowned. Mr. Jolly had been ! married about one year, and leaves a j young wife, the daughter of a former citizen of Anderson. Tho thrilling exploits and adventures of Manson Jolly in this section of the country, immediately after thc war closed, aro fresh in the recollection of all. His name was a terror, for a long i time, to tho garrison of United States i soldiers-especially tho volunteer white and colored regiments-stationed at this I place. When the regular troops arrived, he removed to Texas, where he has since ? been leading a quiet and peaceful life. [ Anderson Intelligencer. nor.sE BURNT IN THE COUNTRY.-We , regret to learn that the large, and valna I ble house of Mr. E. N.

THE KENTUCKY ELECTION.-The elec? tion, which occurred yesterday involved nothing which could awaken public in? terest. Tho choice of members o? thc Legislature was made without political excitement, and the conteete for seats in that body were generally between candi? dates professing the same faith and ad? hering to tho same party. Borne days must elapso before the exact result of tho small voto polled cnn be known. In tho meantime our friends abroad may rest assured that there -will not be more than a baker's dozen of radicals in our next General Assembly. No other sig? nificance attaches to the election in this State which bas just passed oft* so quietly. [Lfjuiscillc Courier-Journal, 3</.

The path of tho eclipse ov the earth's surface-that is, where it w bo total-will begin in the North-ot part of Asia, passing up Behring's Stra thence South-easterly over Sitka, E Moines, Iowa, Louisville, Kontuck Abingdon, Virginia, Raleigh, Goldsbo and Newborn, North Carolina; and en iug in tho Atlantic off tho North Cai lina coast.

Tho following given as tho best means of observi J tho eclipse, in the absenco of inst i monts: i "Take a large card with a small rou hole in tho centre, and hold it agai i the sun's raj's, so that tho shadow \ fall on tho floor, pavement, wall or otl . ' dark and smooth surface. In the mid j of the shadow there will bc a true im: of thc sun, and thc eclipse can be stud in its progress without straining the e; and without smutting thc faco or hal I with smoked gloss. "This simple process was suggested I tho familiar circumstance, that the li; 1 spots in tho shadows, during a sc eclipse, take the shape of tho lumin portions of the sun's disc; and the j forated card has been used with perl success." A few copies of tho "Sack and Destruc? tion of Columbia'' can bc obtained at thc Phoenix office. Price twenty-five cents.
