COLUMBIA, S. C. Wednesday Morning, August ll, 1869. ON THE RIGHT TRACK.-The radical pupers of Ciucinuati, Chicago, St. Louis, and ns far West aa San Frau cisco, are en? gaged just now in a most worthy under? taking. It is to divest the radical party of the iyrauay and corruption that per? vade all its machinery. They confess, and even charge, that a few political bummers, without character or principle personally, control the party, build its plat'o.n s nud elect its candidates, with? out the slightest reference to the public good or will - of the people. The latter, they say, have little or no voico in the management of their own affairs, having become mere tools in the hands of poli? tical gamblers, to be used for their bene? fit and for farthering their various schemes of plunder and corruption. Such is the condition of the radical party as confessed by its leading organs. It is only singular, the Savannah Republican Republican in name aud Democratic in principle-thinks that they have been so long in finding it out, that thoy have stood by'and upheld the. rotten revolu? tionary concern for yoarsi while honest men and patriota were trying to lear down the iniquitous fabric. It is their support that has upheld it until every department of the Government has be? come thoroughly corrupt, and they now owe it to the country to atone for the past, and bend every nerve toward the destruction of the vilo tyranny of their own oreation. If with the importation of Chinese we could bring over some of the special ad? vantages which that noble land of 400, 000,000 of people enjoys, perhaps anj imagined evils of the trade would bc fully, if uot wholly, compensated. Foi example,-taxation in China amounts tc only from one to two per cent, of thc annual produot of the soil. Strike thc average, and say it is one and a half pei cent, of the production-in this country the average is very nearly two per cent on the properly itself. Now, supposinc the high average of twenty per cent, o our capital be realized in gross produc tion, our tax is equal to ten per cent thereon, against one and a half per cent in China. Beside this, wo pay heavy in direct taxes, and in addition five po oent. on all net incomes over $1,000 house rent and taxes. Another grea fact in China (to which the Ci nein nat Times-a Republican sheet-calls specis attention) would be exceedingly agree able to our people, thongh not to th office-holders, to wit: that there is bu one officer to 10,000 people, or 100 t 1,000.000, making 40,000 office-holder to 400,000.000; while in this countr there are well on to 100,000 office-hole ors of one sort and another to 40,000, 000 of people. One more fact might nc be so very agreeable to our official pc triots, to wit: that in China every office holder is forbidden to take presents froi the people, except eatables, under pena ty of being batnbooed. At a banquet at Chicago, the Chines merehant Chrychew, said: "Eleven yeal ago I came from my home in China t seek my fortune in your great republic 1 landed on tho golden shore of Califo nia, utterly ignorant of your languagi unknown to your people; a .stranger t your oastomB, nnd, in fl,o minds of sonn an intruder on that race. My present was deemed a positive iujury to publ: prosperity; but, gentlemen, Ifonud bot kindness and justice. I found tba above the prejudice which had bee formed against us, there flowed deo] broad streams of popular equality, th the hand of friendship was extended 1 tho people of every nation, and that eve Chinamen might live, be happy, succ?s ful and respected in freo America, gathered knowledgo in your publ schools; I learned to speak as you do; read aud write as you do, and to act ac think as you do; and, gentlemen, I r joice that it is so-that I have been ab to cross the coatinent without an inte preter. That here, in the heart of tl United States, lean speak to you in yoi own familiar speech; tell you how niue how very much, I appreciate your hosr tality, aud how grateful I feel for the pi vileges and advantages that I have e joyed in your glorious oouutry, and he earnestly I hope that your example, e terprise, energy and national generosi may be seen and understood as I see ni understand it in your government." TUE SOUTH CAROLINA RAILROAD CO PANY.-Letters havo been received 1 the President of the South Carob Railroad Compauy from the Hon. C. 1 Ftirmnn, stating that the negotiation 1 tho exchange of the past due sterli bonds, guaranteed by the State, for n< first mortgage bonds of the compauy li been successfully completed, and t stockholders need spprebeud no furtl embarrassment in connection with t overdue debt. -.- 0 ? ? Mr. E. Swinton, au estimable citiz of Port Jervis, Orange County, N. 1 was shot dead by a drunken peddli named Warren Fellows, on Thursd night. The latter was badly wound by the son of Mr. Swinton, and his covory is not expected. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The election in Tennessee proves to haie been a most .?weeping affair. Scarcely anything seems to remain of the old radica| regime. Governor Sen ter'a majority is sjft down as between 40,000 ^nd -6$;000, anti'th? L?gislature will be at least two-thirds conservative. A telegram to the New York Times, from Euozville, says that Seater is elected by 00,000; that the Legislature is Demo? cratic by a large majority. A despatch to the New York7 'Tribitne puts Se?ter'a majority at 40,000, and says he carried every County in West Tennessee by large majorities. It also states that all bnt probably three or four of the mem? bers of tho Legislature elected in that portion of the State are Democrats; that the Legislature will be conservative, but oomposed of three parties-Whigs, Democrats and Republicans. Tho Times' despatch states that "the blacks were much divided, and for somo local offices voted Democratic." The fact that Col. Brownlow, son of Senator Brownlow, is defeated by a large majority; that his own precinct went ag nst him, and that four out of every five of the blacks voted for his opponent, is at least ono measure of proof as to tho trne state of the case -i. e., the disruption of the bonds by which the carpet-baggers and native radicals have hitherto held and con? trolled the confiding negroes of that State. RADICAL N JG ROES.-The suicidal course of these misguided people, during the past week, has cost many of them com? fortable homes and good places of em? ployment. This is ns it should be. If they cbooso to join tho enemies of the white mee, who are alone in thc condi? tion to give them work, they must take the chances and responsibilities of ene? mies. There is no sense in that kind of warfare where all the wrong-doing and blows aro on ono side. The white sido must fight back and givo blow for blow. Hence, it is unjust in principle and ab? surd in policy to succor and cherish tho spies and enemies who have allowed their passions to be inflamed to thc pitch of open violence The negroes have drawn tho lino between themselves and the whites, and tho latter have nothing to do but to accept and act upon it. These negroes may as well understand the situ? ation at once. We whito people aro 8.000,000 in tho South, and they aro but 3,000,000. We hold tho supremacy and mean to keep it and rule this country. If the negroes are stupid enough to think that they can prevent it or better their condition by brute force and fight? ing, let them try it. The whites are ready for that issue whenever they choose to make it. In reference to labor, some oitizens have excused themselves for keeping these black vipers in their houses, stores and employment, because they could not obtain tho white labor or the faithful black labor to supply their places. We are led to behove that this is a mistake. There are large numbers of unemployed white people, who stay at homo and dig in their gardens, after having vainly searched for something else to do. These can be easily found out by advertisement or applying to the intelligence offices. Let the effort be made, and wo doubt not it will be suc? cessful. This thing of feeding people to strengthen your enemies and to burn and slay in your streets, hos gone about far enough.-Mobile Rf jister. INCENDIARISM.-We learn that on Tues? day morning last, 2d inst., the dwelling house of Mr. W. A. Milling, near Buck head, in this District-together with the store occupied by Mr. Smiley, adjoining the same, and 200 bushels of wheat-was entirely consumed by fire. The fire was first discovered in tho store-room con? nected with the store, but not before the flames had communicated with the main building. The inmates of tho house barely escaped with their lives. It ^ as undoubtedly tho work of an incendiary. I Winnsboro News. WAS IT ANOTUEB GUNPOWDER PLOT? At au early hour on the morning of tho 6th, during the session of the British Houses of Parliament, great excitement was occasioned by a loud explosion in tue building. A search was instituted, and a tin case which had contained pow? der, was picked up on tho terraco near by. Not much damage was done. No arrests were made. Tho affair is involved in mystery. Who is thc new Guy Fawkes? The Washington correspondeut of the Richmond Dispatch states that tho indi? cations are by no means few af a digni? fied row in the radical party beforo tho inauguration of tho new year. Tho pre? sent party calm forebodes a storm, and it will come almost before the echo of tho Speaker's gavel calling the House to order iu December next has died away. A GENERAL WAIL.-Charles E. Moss, ultra radical, gives up tho ghost in last week's Anti-Slavery Standard, with tho i statement that disintegration hos set ra? pidly in in tho party, and ho bewails thus: "Virginia is lost; Tcuuessco fol? lows Virginia; Mississippi, also, I fear, and Texas most certainly." Ben. Wood, thc irrepressible, in an article relativo to the circulation of tho various Now York papers, reiterates his challenge of tho 2d of April, in whioh ho offers to wager several thousand dollars that his paper-the Daily News-has a larger circulation than any othor daily I paper published iu the United States. They appear to have a modern Blue Beard out iu Wisconsin, for the tele? graph anuounces that a doctor has been urrested on tho charge of poisoning his fourth wife, while tho fact is well remem? bered that his third wifo died very sud? denly but a little more than a year ago. m On Sunday last, Hon. Sydney Clarke, of the Committee on Indian Affairs, held a council with thirty chiefs and counsel? lors of three Of the five baijds comjirising tho Osage tribe Ho told thom he wanted to hear wbatyhey had to say in regard to tue Sturgos treaty oi Bay? ?SOD, ac? cording to which the Osage* had agreed to soil their lauds to Stuvgee, or tho Lea? venworth, Lawrence and Galveston Bail road Company, for-TO cen ti per acre. They denounced the treaty as a fraud and swindle, and declared it was pro? eared by means of- threats .aud promises of bribes. They complained, also, that their Annuities aro not paid according to treaties; that tho agent fui 1B to give them their dues; that white settlers destroy their timber, and that they are cheated on all sides. Mr. Clarke will lay their grievances before the President and In? dian Bureau. It is stated that npward of 1,500 white settlers have settled upon the Osage reservation, and more are go? ing upon it every day. Under such cir? cumstances, it need not be wondered at that many of the Indiau tribes have gone upon the war-path, or that others, hith? erto peaceful, should eventually do so. The Indian "policy" hos been a very loose and vicious one for many years. It sadly needs amendment, and the instil? ment of a little humanity and justness. EXECUTIVE CLEMENCY.-Rumor hath it that Scipio Jenkins, who was indicted and convicted of the murder of young Brandford, a citizen, in thc Battery riot in 1866, and whose sentence of death was commuted to imprisonment in thc Penitentiary, bas been pardoned by Go? vernor Scott, and is now at largo. As humanitarians, we hope that Governor Scott's clemency may not be thrown away; but it is a significant fact that tho cells of the detectivo offico are daily filled with the objects of Governor Scott's cle? mency.-Charleston Courier. Dr. James F. McRee, Sr., one of thc oldest aud most esteemed citizens sud one who ranked among the tirst medical men of this country, died at his residence in Wilmingtou, N. C., on tho 10th inst., ut the advanced ago of seventy-four j-ears. His death was sudden and wholly unexpected, and is attributed to some disease of the throat-quinsy, it is thought. LIFE ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA, Parent Office, St. Louis, Mo. TWO GOOD REASONS FOB JOINING THIS ASSOCIATION IN PREFERENCE TO INSURING IN ANY COMPANY. 1. It is a purely mutual Association, in which all the profits arc divided equitably among the members, and no part of them absorbed by stockholders. For thia reason it can insure at lower rates and pay larger dividends than any Western or Southern Company. 2. It is a purely MU TU AL WESTERN AND SOUTHERN ASSOCIATION, with its funds all invested in the West and South, atghigh rates of interest. For this roaeon it caa iuaure at lower rates and pay larger dividends than any Eastern Company. ONE HUNDRED DOLLAR3 invested at 10 per cent, for 50 yoara will amount to $11,739.09. ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS invested at 6 por cent, for tho samo time will produce only $1,842.01. DIFFERENCE-19,897.08. Why should Western and Southern men pay money to Eastern Life Insurance Companies, to be loaned out by them at 6 to 7 por cen)., when the Life Association has a largo demand for it at 10 per cent.? High interest insures large dividends. Tho LIFE ASSOCIATION proposes to tho people of South Carolina, as she has done to all tho Southern States, to make it a HOME COMPANY-that ia, to invest tho money do rived from oach Stato in tho different States from which it is collected. Money is very much needed in thc West and South, to assist in de? veloping and building up i. commercial, ma? nufacturing, mineral and agricultural inter? ests; and as the laws of New York and several Eastern States absolutely prohibit their com? panies from investing money outside their own States; and as tbeso companies havo hcroio foro dono a largu portion of tho business of thc West and South, and now hold many million dollars belonging to thc citizens of those sec? tions-of the use of wbioh they are deprived by law-we thereforo earnestly urge upon our people tho necessity of insuring their lives in good Western and Southern Companies only, and thereby keep their money at homo. Tho Association wat started over a year ago, for tho express purpose of changing tho current of Life Insurance from tho East to tho West, and to-day, without a partido of stock, wc have ONE MILLION OF DOLLARS ASSETS. We invite attention to our rates and plan, and feel confident that we can command the inlluence and bea. iy co-operation of tho citi? zens of South Caroline BOARD OF DIRECTORS.-John J.

In the Southern part of Europe, notably in Rome, the sumo remarkable temperature has existed, and is accounted for by the celebrated astronomer Secchi, who writes to the Giornale di Roma: "Tho sun is at this moment at a period of an unusual prevalence of spots. Tho whole surface of the luminary is covered with them, and it appeared to us several times to present the aspect of a mnss of white Hakes on an ash-colored ground." He attributes the cold weather to this unu? sual number of spots on the disc of the sun. HOTEL. ARRIVALS-August 10-Colum? bia Hotel.-Alex. Isaacs, Thos. Murphy, j T. Y.

ORIGIL OF ODD FELLOWS.-It hos bee supposed by many that the origin of th society of Odd Fellows-or rather tb organization of that association-was c comparatively modern date. They wi bo somewhat surprised, however, i learn that its origin dates as far back i Nero, and was established by the Roma soldiers in the year 55. At that tin they were called "Fellow Citizens. The present name was given them t Titus Caisar, twenty-four years afte wards; and they were so called from tl singular character of their meetings, ar from their knowing each other by meal of mystical signs and language. At tl same time he presented them with a di pensation, engraved on a plate of gol bearing different emblems of mortalit In the fifth century the order was esta lished in the Spanish dominions, and Portugal in the sixth century. It d not reach Franco and England until tl eleventh century. It was then esta lished in the latter country by John I Nille, who, assisted by five knights fro France, formed a Grand Lodge in Lo don. This ancient fraternity has nc its lodges in every quarter of tho glob and, by its usefulness and b?n?vole character, commands tho rcspeot ai conutenance of all who are acquaint with its nature and purpose.

A STUBBORN FACT.-There is scarcely any disease in which purgative medicines are not more or less required, and much suffering might bo prevented were they more generally used. No person can feel well while a costive habit of body prevails. Besides, it soon generates se? rious diseases, which might have been avoided by a timely use of cathartic me? dicines. For this "purpose, DR. Torr's VEGETABLE LIVER PILLS are confidently recommended. They aro mild, safe, prompt and uniform in their action. They contain no mercury. Persons may eat and drink as usual, and they may be taken at any time.
