COLUMBIA, S. C. 1 r 1 Sunday Mo-mint?, September 26, 1869. The Claims of Good Citizenship. When POLITICS is regarded as only o sera rublo for the spoils of office and a contest simply for the pride of place, we presume that no one Can feel a greater disgust for it than ourselves. We ap? preciate the spirit in which, under such circumstances, the citizen turns away with loathing from the petty arena. But when we come to look upon polities as the means by which the prosperity of States is scoured-as the mode whereby the pub.Iio interests in general are sub aorvod-then it is that the subject as? sumes an entirely different aspect. When politios is made to involve the art of go? verning wisely and economically; when it reaches to tho heights of statesman? ship; when it catches the spirit of a glowing patriotism that looks to the pub Ho tone, and the publie morals, and the public weal, then it is that no profession is more honorable or more worthy of the attention of the best and the wisest citizen. Especially in our country, where the people rule, or are expected to rule, politics becomes the business, the imme? diate concern, of every individual, mem? ber bf the State. ' Such now being the case, and we assume that every right minded man will assent to the truth of one propositions, the question arises, what are the claims of good citizenship upon us? The answer is plain-good citizenship demands of us that we ne? glect not the business of the country. It demands of us that we see to it that public affairs are rightly managed. It demands of ns that all the good, wise and pore elements of the community do enter upon the political arena to fight the good fight of the State's good. It requires of us that we hold not back and leave the field to political robbers, thieves and plunderers. It requires of us that we take the public reins out of the hands of the wicked aud the ineffi? cient, and place them under the oontrol of the true, and the honest, and the ca? pable. This is manifestly incumbent upon all good citizens. Not only does a beooming State pride suggest this, but the duty whioh one owes to his family demands it. Too muoh of indifference and apathy on this score exists among our people. We hope the evil will not grow . And we trust that whenever thc opportunity shall arise, the good citizen: in every community will spring witii alacrity to their posts and vindicate at the ballot-box the cause of a good and honest administration of our public af fairs. To this self-interest no less thar patriotism points us, and nothing should be allowed to swerve us from this "just intent." SPATS AND THE EUP.OPE.VN POWERS. The various and conflicting reports wbicl the ocean cable daily brings ns of de signs and arrangements of Europ?ai powers to secure to Spain the possessioi of Cuba, are probably without founda tion. It is not at all unlikely that Spaii is perturbed at the prospect in Cuba and principally on account of the appro hended influence of the United State Government and people, in detach in < the island from Spanish possession. Thi may have caused her to look round fo help to her European friends. But, ii matters of business, nations; know m friendships, or, at least, do not penni that sentiment to govern their action It is very likely that France and, pei haps, other European Governments, sym pathize with Spain in regard to Cubo for they have American colonies of thei own, and they look with no favor upoi the increasing power and rapid ferrite rial expansion of the United States. Bu all have sagacity enough to know tba they will lose more by war than by losin their colonies, even if that should be th result of the absorption of Cuba by th United States. It is simply a questio whether the loss of the colonies witbou war, will not be less than the loss of thei with the cost of war snperadded? B< sides, the Mexican experiment has prc bably satisfied France, to whom Spai seems to be principally looking, tin meddling unnecessarily in American a fairs does not pay. Our Govornmeu the Baltimore Sun thinks, hos given n cause of offence in making friendly re] resentations to Spain in favor of reasoi able demands of Cuba, and Spain, unlei demented, is not likely to make war wit ns on that account. It is understood that Ben. Butler wi] early in the coming session of Congres deliver a scathing speech on the extra vi ganoes of several Congressional commi toes which have been traveling aero; the continent at Government expons< His remarks are expeoted to apply part cularly to tho Ways and Means Commi tee, of which Schenck is Chairmai Schenck is said to be prepared for h antagonist, having secured some mo; damaging facts against Butler's comic tion with certain manufacturing institi tiona. Thc Union HOT?. We observo with satisfaction that thia raoveraont has been abandoucd, in de ferenee to the force of publio opinion, as egressed ia tho j our a als of the State. As for ourselVee, wo never would havo advised it; bat the blow having been de livered by friends at the common politi? cal foe, for one, we did not choose to mitigate its force by standing in the way. We will, therefore, meet the ene? my upon other fields. For let this be understood-South Carolina is to be won from radicalism and restored to a wiser and a better rule. The victory comes sooner or later. The immense ravages of the revolu? tionists, as well as the Spanish troops, in Cuba threaten not only to render that rich and fertile island a profitless posses? sion to Spain, but to destroy its produc? tivo power for some timo after the close of hostilities. For nearly a year, mills, houses and plantations, as well as crops, have been sacrificed to the fury of the belligerents, until the whole Eastern half of the inland has become a scene of de? solation. Tho Western half of the island -which is tho wealthiest and most popu? lous-has thus far, in great measure, es? caped theso ravages; but with tho pro? gress of events hore also, one locality after another is mado to suffer. Through? out a great part of tho island, the ne? groes are of course demoralized, so far as labor is concerned; and it will take years of freedom, or of repressive tyran? ny, to bring them up to their former po? sition as producers. Such is tho extra? ordinary fertility of Cuba, and such the generosity of nature there, that it will suffer less soverely and less enduringly than most other countries would suffer from tho destruction of crops and pro? ducts; but tho injury to labor, machine? ry, organization and capital will be felt more deeply than in countries differently situated. Whatever be the political fate of Cuba hereafter, it will be the hard la bor of years to recover her industrial fortunes. THE EISE IN GOLD.-How thc extraor? dinary rise in gold, announced in our telegrams of Saturday, and tho excite? ment yesterday, was brought about, is thus explained in the New York Sun, of Tuesday last: "An alliance of the most powerful and influential firms in Wall street, including notorious Erie speculators, has been ef? fected with a view of obtaining posses? sion of all the gold in the market. When this is accomplished, the conspirators eau dictate their own terms, aud mer? chants and others, who arc compelled to buy or borrow gold, must necessarily procuro it of this auriferous ring. It is also believed that theso schemers own all thc gold deposited in the banks. Hav? ing thus the power of control, the ope? rators are gradually raising thc price of gold about an eighth per cent, daily. Their agents in the gold room buy all that is offered at their standard bid and only sell at a quarter per cent, higher. At this rate, they will elevate the buying and selling price each succeeding week about one and a half per cent. In addi? tion to this method of bleeding thoso who of necessity have occasion to uso gold, we are told that they threaten, at no distant day, to refuso to lend at any price, and to sell only on their own terms." THE LOUISVILLE COMMERCIAL CONVEN? TION.-Tho basis of repr?sentation in the Commercial Convention, to be held at Louisville, Kentucky, on the 12th proxi? mo, has been fixed as follows: The Governor of eaoh State and Ter? ritory may appoint a delegation at large, not exceeding ono for each Congression? al District. Tho city authorities of each city of 8,000 inhabitants may appoint one dele? gate for each additional 10,000 inhabit? ants. Each incorporated railroad, steamboat, manufacturing or mining company, in actual operation, having over 850,000 cash capital paid in, may appoint one delegate. Each chamber of commorce or board of trade may appoint one delegate for every hundred members or fractional hundred. Gentlemen invited by the Committee of Arrangements are to bo considered honorary members of the convention, entitled to tho privilegas of the floor, but not entitled to speak or vote. Each delegate appointed ia requested to inform Col. Blanton Duncan, Chair? man of tho Committee of Arrangements, at Louisville, of his intention to attend tho convention, giving his address, and tho interests which he will represent, and to provide himself with the proper cre? dentials, that no difficulty may arise in determining the delegate's right to a seat in the convention.

Spencer, ono of the ne? gro selectmen of Hamburg, and Goa Robinson, the mulatto constable who figures around Prince Rivera' Congo Court, with their artillery buckled around them, took an official stroll down the South Carolina Railroad as far M the Dead Fall. Their object, we karn, waa to procure the arrest of a su bj cot, tobo dealt with, we presume, according to the most approved misunderstanding of the law for which Rivers is celebrated. When they reached the above point, they were met by a couple of white men, whose names we have not ascertained, one of whom opened fire on them with a pistol, the ball taking effect in the fleshy part of tbe constable's left arm. Spencer claims to have fired two shots at tho white men, but must have fired wide of the mark, as himself and associate noon returned to Hamburg without effecting 1 any arrest. No arrests have yet been made, but the "lott" were in a ferment yesterday morning, boiling np the occur? rence, as a Ku Klux outrage for publica? tion in their Charleston organ. The wound received by the constable is not considered at all serious. One of his ne? gro sympathizers is prepared to identify the white mau who did the shooting, and it is confidently asserted that he will be arrested. It may be very safely assumed that somebody will be arrceted-whether the right one or not being a matter of small concern to tho radical souse of jus? tice which controls the new regime. [A ugusta Constitutionalist. THE YOUNG MAN OF THE PERIOD His MAKE UP.-Quite a number of young gentlemen of New York, who have just returned from an extended trip abroad, have brought with thom the latest style of costume worn at the wed? dings of the elite. The Mail gives tho following particulars: The coat consists of a dark blue cloth of medium length, with considerable roll of lapel, lined with dark blue silk. But? tons are of brass and unornamented. Tho vest is of white satin, cut low, sin glo-breasted, with an inner lining of light blue silk, protruding a little over tho opening of the same. The pants are of a light lavender shade, with faint stripe on side, and cut loose. The boots are of patent leather, with high heels and toes rounded; shirts are embroidered with numerous designs, underneath is worn a pink silk shirt, which shows through, oausing a pretty effect, and ad? mits of a better view of tho workman? ship. Collars aro turned down, with rounded poiuts, and ties are of white satin made in various styles, and rather larger than usual. We doubt not but the style will bo introduced hero before the closing of the matrimonial campaign this season. CARB.

Bawls made a post mortem examination of the body. DON'T LEAK OX OTHERS.-Half, at least, of the disappointed men one meets with, are the victims of ill-gronnded hopes and expectations-persons who have tried to lean upon others, instead of relying upon themselves. This lean? ing is a poor business. It seldom pays. Energetic men (and they are the classes generally looked to for aid) do not like to be leaned upon. If you are traveling in a railroad car, and a great hulking fellow lays his head against your shoul? der and goes to sleep, you indignantly shako him off. It is the Eame in busi? ness. The man who does not at least attempt to "hoe his own row," need not expect any one to hoo it for him. It is nonsense for any man to pretend to the dignity of being unfortunate, who has depended upon others, when he might have cloven a way to fortune for him? self. INSURANCE STATEMENTS-RADICAL CHI? CANERY.-Insurance agents are required, by an Act of the last Legislature, to pub? lish, "in some newspaper, to be desig? nated by tho Comptroller-General, hav? ing circulation in tho County ia which ho resides," a copy of the license granted to such agent. Ono would suppose that tho Act called for tho aforesaid publica? tion in a newspaper printed in the Coun? ty wherein the insurance agency is lo? cated; but Mr. Comptroller Neagle, in the exercise of his official authority, de? cides that these notices, or licenses, shall be printed in a Republican newspaper published in the city of Charleston, and which has but a limited circulation in Richland. "To the victors belong the spoils," we suppose Mr. Comptroller Gcneral-Represeutative-from-York-Uni vorsity-Trustee-Seleotman-from-Colum bia-Towuship-Neaglo decides. Don't stretch your authority, Mr. Office-hold? er, and decide that the "statements" of these insurance companies are also under your control; the Act is worded a little differently.
