COLUMBIA, S. C.
_-_. _
Wednesday norming, Ahgnst 18,1869,
A Standard Mt tito Capital.
It is not nnuBual to hear men say thftt
sn independent, out-spoken, vigilant
journal is needed at the capital. There
ia wanted, say these persons, a newspa?
per that witt boldly assail all forms of
, political corruption whereby the public
interests stiffer-a newspaper that will
"essay to correct all those abases that
spring np in the administration of pub?
lic affaira-a newspaper that will keenly
dissect mon and measures with an eye
single to the public good and the causo
of truth, virtuo and justice-a newspa?
per that will seek in every possible way
to build up on a sure basis the industrial
and political interests of South Carolina.
This is what persons have said is needed
here. We concur in the opinion that
there should bo such a newspaper here,
and we flatter ourselves that our own
journal has, to some extent at least, ful?
filled these conditions. But now, we
desire to say that it is quite possible to
place the question beyond the sphero of
debate. Let our friends, in overy part
of the State, give us their names on our
subscription list-let them sond in their
advertisements-let our job and printing
department receive a share of the public
patronage, and we pledge ourselves that
there will be no eau?", of complaint as to
the stylo and kind y. newspaper that we
will give our friends. Give us the ne?
cessary assistance-sustain us in a prac
. ti cal way, and we will bo enabled to raise
Btill higher this standard at the capital.
In any event, we expect to do our part.
We shall zealously co-operate with our
cotemporaries in the State in giving the
proper tone and direction to the intelli?
gent publio opinion of tho State. We
expect to bo moderate, fair and just.
We intend to be firm and independent
in expression. With tho co-operation of
the good people of tho State, our aim
will be to strike blow after blow in the
cause of our material and political re?
generation.
Thc Whites of Charleston Aroused.
Our readers are aware of the indignity
cast upon the Base Ball Club of Savan?
nah by a colored mob, upon thoir visit
to Charleston, a few weeks since. This
conduct excited a feeling of deep in?
dignation amongst those concerned for
tho fair fame of the "Queen City." The
Savannah guests wcro invited to repeat
their visit, with the assurance that the
ti necessary arrangements would be made
by the citizens to give them the amplest
protection. They carno on Saturday
last, and a strong body of resolute men
turued out to escort tho guests from Sa?
vannah.' Much excitement prevailed,
but no violence of consequence occurred.
On Monday tho game between the
Charleston and Savannah clubs was
played, and the telegraph reports that
no disturbance occurred. We learn that
the occasion gave rise to deep feeling.
The whites folt that forbearance had
ceased to be a virtue, and resolutely de?
termined and prepared to givo the visit?
ing club the protection of their stout
arms. It is but fair to add, that it is
conceded by the Charleston papers that
many of tho colored people utterly dis?
countenance the conduct of those of
their numbers who began this difficulty.
Wo notice in tho News, that the Mis?
sionary Record, edited by Cain, under
the head of "Spoiling for a riot," pub?
lishes an inflammatory article, wherein
he artfully appeals to the passions of
the colored people, and, at the same
time, most insultingly taunts and reviles
tho visiting Georgiana and Georgia
generally. He tells the "rowdies" from
Georgia that "thero is not a drop of
coward's blood in the veins of the South
Carolina negro," and that tho negroea
"are ready at almost any timo to gratify
those who are anxious for a fray." This
is a very strong stylo of talking, and it
ought to place the Bev. Cain at the
head of his columns when the affray
shall begin. The conduct of tho Mayor
and of the Chief of Police is severely
censured as respects their connection
with the visit of tho Georgians and their
police arrangements.
? . ? ?
NEW PRINCIPLES OF FAITH.-The
Jewish Record says that tho Synod of
Jewish Babbi8, which has just been hold,
has recognized threo new principles: 1.
Individual authority in religious mat?
ters. 2. The primary importauce of
free scientific investigation. 3. The re?
jection of tbe belief in Israel's restora?
tion. The Synod also recommends
choral services and tho uso of tho organ
in the synagogue and musical perform?
ances on Sabbaths and festivals.
The surveys of the shores of the East
River, preparatory to tho construction
of the bridge, aro progressing, nod ne?
gotiations aro on foot for the purchase of
needed property on tho New York and
Brooklyn shores. Tho work is to bo
carried on by tho present Board of En?
gineers, under the superintendence of a
son of the deceased contractor.
TIM CfelMUMa?
MB. EDITOB; Aa the question of a supply
ot labor by mea na of an extensive impor
tation of Chinese fe al present uppermost
in tho minda of many ?of our oitizong,
who claim to hare tuc future Welfare of
the South afc heart, it nauy not be oat of
placo to giro a ?hort account of the cha?
racter, tba babita and the industrial
capacity of these people whom we pro
I pose to bring into oar midst. A cele?
brated German landscape painter, Ed?
ward Hildobrandt, lately deoeased at
Berlin, has left an account of his recent
journey around the world, whioh is not
only highly amusing and instr activo, bat
also^entirely trustworthy, on account of
the high oharacter of its author. He
says: ''The Chinese are more cleanly and
more industrious than the Hindoos; but
they are fearfully perverse and immoral.
I saw on my journey, (through tho 'celes?
tial' empire,) numer?os corpses of chil?
dren floating in the rivers. Ia Hong
Hong, my friends had already prepared
me for these horrible symptoms of Obi?
nese immorality, bat when I saw the fact
beforo my eyes, I almost lost my self
control. Infanticide is the order of tho
day, owing to the crowded population
and the diffionlty of gaining the neces?
sary subsistence for the family. The
uew-born girls generally fall victims to
this horrible practico-especially when
they hare a weak constitution and un?
attractive features. The unnatural pa?
rents throw their ohildren into the river,
or exposo them alive, a prey to dogs and
hogs.? In the larger towns, which aro
not situated on the rivers, the corpses
are thrown into pits, which, from time
to time, are filled up with quick limo.
Thc activity of European missionaries is
powerless against this practice; in fact,
"their efforts are entirely without result."
Still, in spite of this moral degradatiou,
tho author says, the Ohineso are, in somo
respects, a very interesting people. Their
shops offer to tho foreign visitors innu?
merable objects of attraction.
Their phnntasticaily gotten-up tea ser?
vices, their carvings in ebony wood, their
chairs, sofas, tables and bedsteads, made
of the costliest woods and inlaid with a
curious mosaic, composed of small pieces
of white and red marble, cannot be too
much admired. In their agricultural
pursuits they excel any other nation in
economy. Every third man carries ma?
nure on his back from the towns; even
the shavings of tho beards and tho trim?
mings of the finger nails are bought u]i
and turned to account by the gardoners
and farmers in the neighborhood of the
cities. Interesting is a dinner at the
house of a "Mandarin." The "Tschau
Tpchau" consisted of at least thirty 01
thirty-five courses. Hard-boileel eggs,
which had been preserved four or live
years under ground, Indiau bird's nests,
shark fins, pickled and dried rain-worm.1
swimming iu a bluish sauce, hachees ol
largo anet small caterpillars were, witt
many others, the elishes with which th(
travelers were regaled. Our thirst wai
quenched with a light hike-warm wino.
A quantity of confectionery, composee
of sugar, almonds and hog's lard, consti
tuted the desert. The rat is the favorib
game of the Chinese. Gourmands knov
how to appreciate the di florence betweet
land and water rats more that zoologist:
cando. The former are said to be supe
rior in flavor, and bring consequently i
higher price. They are in such demane
as to form an artiole of trade, so that tin
newspapers of Hong Kong habitually
quote their market price in their prici
currents. Tho literary and sci en ti li
knowledge of the Chinese is of the low
est order; their judicial proceedings ari
barbarous, their punish men ts inconceiva
bly cruel und loathsome Nor is there
it seems, any hope that this nation wi]
ever attaiu to a higher degreo of men tn
culture, owing to tho strange "stability1
of Chinese character and customs."
With such accounts before us, it be
hooves those: among us, who do not lool
merely to the immediato advantages o
au increase of manual labor, to conside
well before they act whether, by briug
ing in such a set of men nmongst us
they are not preparing a worse curse fo
our children and children's children
than African importations have prove
to be, anel whether it is not well to weig!
tho truth of thc maxim, that a bael citi
zen is worse than no citizen at all, an<
that a base, low and immoral inhabitan
will epcniually provo a curso and not
blessing to the community in which h
lives, whatever his capacity for physic?
labor or tho cheapness of obtaining i
may bo. A. S.

TRUE ENOUGH.-Tho Now York Timi
says that the late war "changed in som
degreo tho theory of the Government.
Well, it did, adds tho Richmond Di:
patch. It transformed a free Goverr
ment into a despotio one. It converte
States into Counties. It abolished th
written Constitution framed by ou
fathers, and for it substituted an unwril
teu one-that is to say, tho will of th
majority in Congress. It deprivetl th
States of every right they had, an
thornby deprived tho citizens of over
personal right. We mean, of course
that these rights are now held by suffei
ance, tho National Government havini
power! to take them away whenever
shall feel so inclined; whereas, befoi
tho war these rights were considered s
sacred that no man would have dare'd t
lay rude hands upon them.

per cent, in five months of 1869 over tl
oorresponding period in 1868.

GRAND FESTIVAL OP THE FENIANS.-A

ransomed by tho payment of $2,000.
Hill sent word to raise the money, and
it was raised and sent to tho point de?
signated."
