COLUMBIA, S. a Wednesday Morning, Sept. 20, 1868. Chartes Sntuntr-The IlftUvaBMa or tho Kam DI ap I e. y cd. - ' After Mr. Sumner's grand effort, in? volving groat principles and the nation's highest good, the partisan and sootionnl ist thus rev?ala himse?f in his trae oha raotev v Jtimt- * ^grandiloquent, episode ?fir?^p/M^ H W8-, ''tor myself, I see nothing more pr aa ti cal at this mo? ment than' first, ai all point?, to oppose the p^o&?c^: ard, secondly, Winttist ihaty?t a while langet ex-rebels shall be excused from copartnership in government." And this the Senator fay? hi? demands, not only for the benefit of the "national cre? ditor and the national freed man, " bat for the highest good of the ex-rebel himself ! Ohl philanthropic Sumner 1 Obi noble conscript father I Oh I Christ? ian statesman I Mr. Charles Sumner is a great classicist. We oorameudto him the story related of CaniilluB, a heathen Se? nator of Borne* It has been frequently related, bat vre repeat it for the benefit of tho proscriptionists of the radical Sumner school. .The question came up in tho Roman Senate: What should be dono with .tho conquerod people of Latium? Some proposed one violent measure; some proposed, another. At length, tho noble Gamillos - arose and said:' "Let ns make themfell?w-citizens, ahd thus add to the power and dignity of Borne," Let the magnanimity of the Bomen put to shame the policy of ven? geance and hate that the polished Sum? ner advocates. Mr. Sumner proclaims himself aman ol peace. Ho says: "In our foreign relations, there ore with me two cardinal principles, whioh I have no hesitation to avow at all times first, peaoe with all tho world, and se? condly, sympathy with all struggling for haman rights. In neither of theso would I fail, fot each is essential. Peace is for us a universal conqueror. Through peace the whole world will be ours. Filled with the might of peace, the sympathy we extend will be next to an alliance. Following these plain principles, we should' be open and allow foreign nations to know our sentiments, so that even when there is a difference, there shall be no just cause for offence." Now, we have always thought Mr. S. .was inclined to be a man of peace, so -fat as his own preoiou? person is con? cerned. Bat, looking at his declarations of policy at home and abroad, one natu? rally inquires, if this is Mr. Sumner's peace; how terrific his war must be ! He says, in reference to us "ex-rebels" of the South: "The ancient historian declares that the ancestors of Ito me, themost religions of men, took nothing-from the vanquish? ed bnt the liconso to do wrong-majores nostri, rehgiossimi mortales, nihil victis eripiebantprceter injuriai licenti?ni. These are the words of.Sallust. Permit me to say that I know no better example for our present guidance. Who can com? plain, -il men -recently arrayed against their country are told to stand aside until all are secured in their rights?" The Southern "ex-rebels" would be glad to compromise upon that. If Mr. Sumner will agree that his party shall take nothing from us-nothing but the "license to do wrong"-we will rest glo? riously content. But what about om back dues? In his speech, which doubtless fore? shadows the programme which the ex? treme Bepublioans will seek to carry out, Mr. Sumner appeals anew, under thc mask of peace, to the passions and pre? judices born of the late civil war. In one point of view, wc are pleased to soc this. It gives the Northern Democracy capital, and it effectually pats a stop tc anything like defection from the rank? of Southern anti-radicalism. We neec; the services of the Sumners and thc Wendell Philiipses. BOSTON STIIJII "THE HUB." Mr. Sumner, in his elaborate oratior npon taking his seat as President of tin late Republican Convention, opened thu; -showing that, in his opinion, Boston ii still "the hub," and Mr. S. himself nc unimportant spoke in tho national wheel "While thanking you for tho houoi conferred upon me, I make haste to sa; that, in my judgment, Massachusetts ha one duty at the coming election to whicl all local interests and. questions must bi postponed, as on its jost performance al else depends; and (his commanding dut; is to keep the commonwealth now, a aforetime, an example to our country and a bulwark of human rights. Sucl was Massachusetts ia those earlier day when, on the continent of Europe, tb name of > 'Bostonians" was given to tb American people io arms against the mo ther country, making this dosignntioi embrace all, and when, in the Brit isl Parliament, the great orator, Ed mum Burke, exolaimed, 'The cause of Bostoi is the canse of all America; every parto America is aoited ia support of Boston Boston is the Lord Mayor of America. I quote these words from the Parlia men tar y debates of the time. But Bos ton was at that timo Massachusetts, am it was her stand for liberty that mad her name the synonym for all. And pei mit me tc add, thrt in choosing a presid ing officer entirely removed from loco "Thus, follow-oitizens, at every turn are we brought back to one eioglo point, the public faith, which cannot bo disho? nored without infinite calamity. The child. is told not to tell a lie; but this in? jonction ie the same for the full-grown ?BSA, and for the nation aleo. We can? not tell a lio to the national freedman or to'nie national creditor; we cannot tell a lie to anybody. That word of shame cannot be ours. Bat falsehood to the national freedman and the national cre? ditor ia a national lie. Breaking pro? mise with either, you are dishonored, and liar must be stamped upon the national forehead. Beyond the ignominy whioh all of us must bear, will be the influence of such a transgression in discrediting republican government, and the very idea of a republic. For weal or woo wb are an example. Mankind is now look? ing to us, and inst in proportion to the eminence we nave reached is the emi? nence of our example. Already we have shown how a republic can conquer in arms, offering millions of citizens and untold treasure at call. It remains for us to show how a republic can conquer in a field more glorious than battle, where all these millions of citizens and all this untold treasure uphold the publie faith. Such au example will elevate re? publican government, and make tho idea of a republic more than ever great and splendid. Helping here, you help not only your own oountry, but you help hu? manity niuo ; you help liberal institutions in all landa; you help] the down-trodden everywhere, and all who struggle against the wrong and tyranny of earth. "The brilliant Frenchman, Montes? quieu, in that remarkable work which occupied so much attention during tho last century, 'The Spirit of Laws.' pro? nounces honor the animating sentiment of royalty; but virtue the animating sen? timent of a republic. It is for ns to show that he was right; nor cnn wo de? part from this rule of virtue without dis? turbing the order of the universe. Faith is nothing less than a part of that Bub lime harmony by which the pianote wheel surely in their appointed orbit?, and nations are summoned to justice. Nothing too lofty for its power; nothing too lowly for its protection. It is an essential prinoiploin that divine Cosmos, without which all is confusion. All de? pends upon faith. Why do you build? Because you have faith in those laws by which you aro secured in person and property. Why do you plant? Why do you sow? Because you have faith in the returning seasons, faith in tho generous skies, and faith in the sun. But faith in this republic must be fixed as in tho sun, which illuminates all. I cannot be con? tent with less. Full well I see that every departure from this great law is only to our ruin, and from tho height we have reached, the fall will be like that of the ancient God from the battlements ol Heaven : -From morn To noon ho fell; from noon to dewy ovo - A summer's day, and with tho setting bun Dropt from the zenith, like a falling star." ON SPAIN IN SEARCH OF A KINO. "Tho more I reflect upon the actual condition of Spain, the more I am satis? fied that the true rule for us is non-inter? vention, except in tho way of good of? fices. This ancient kingdom ie now en? gaged in comedy and tragedy. You have heard of 'Hunting the Slipper.1 Thc Spanish comedy is 'Hunting a King. The Spanish tragedy is sending armies against Cuba. I do not wish to tnke par! in the comedy or the tragedy. If Spait is wise, she will give up both. Mean? while, we have a duty which is deter mined by international law. To tba1 venerable authority I repair. What tba prescribes I follow." Mr. Sumner speaks plausibly of hi: own generosity and good will. But, a least, a portion of tho country knowi him. He is properly regarded as ono o that class who "put on tho livery o Heaven to serve the devil in." Fron I the time that he denounced Senator But 1er and from the time that Brooks cane? him, he has been tho persistent enem; of the South. On Saturday, a comparativo calm sue oeeded the raging excitement of the pre vious day among the gold speculators i: New York. Early in the day, howevei Wall, William, Broad and New street were thronged with excited crowds, dit cussing the events of Friday and addin to tho general feeling of distrust by rc tailing rumors of heavy failures. Sue firms as Vermilye ft Co., Smith, Gould Martin k Co., Fisk & Beiden, Beiden . Co. are named in the list of failures, In: these reports must bo received with cai tion, as the truth is not known. It i estimated that twenty or thirty sma firms have failed. In some of tb brokers' quarters, tho crowd was so gre? that the police were called in to keep tb peace. A despatch says that it is not b< lioved that gold will fluotuate so heavil again for four or five weeks, if at al There will be some advance this weel but tho back of the bull clique is broker and oannot command enough to buy u tho $4,000,000 offered by the Treasury. A middle-aged lady in Detroit was sut donly seized with a vertigo, and foll 1 the side-walk. A physician found tin she was being strangled in some manne Investigation revealed the cause in tl shape of a set of false teeth, that ha dropped from their position as the bea of the lady thumped on the side-wall and in her gasping for breath had bee drawn into the throat so far that she wi with difficulty relieved. H. H. Cain, in the last i spoken organ of tho, South Carolina-tho Mia He solves the riddle in words which, tb j carpetbagger, and. scalawag alike,, must j read like the hand-writing on the wall. It lo certainly very early, He* remarks, to agitate the question, but he Ands suffi? cient justification in his anxiety to balk "the hungry devils who never tire" in the quest of official plunder. Wo will let the prophet Cain speak for himself as to the com plosion, moral, political and physical, of the coming Congressman: "Wo do not know, he says, "who the lucky chap may bc; but one thing is pretty certain, that the negro proposes to send a trae representative of his race, to represent his interests at the next | election for Congressman. Those long, lank, sharp-noaed gents may prepare for defeat They will have to take a back seat till somebody elso has had a chance. The colored people have been sold often enough, and they have come to the con-1 elusion that these adventurers with while | faces and'black hearts shall not any longer belie them and fatten off their stupidity. We venture to say no one of these pretending scamps will ever go to Washington to misrepresent them again. So of certain people who are preparing to go to the Sonate through the influence of colored legislators, fine speeches, and a few hundred dol?an. That will not pave the way to the Senate in the future as it did in the past. 'Please take no? tice and govern yourselves accordingly.' " HOLD "BACK Yotrn COTTON.-A gentle? man ju??; returned from New York, who has had great experience as a cotton buyer, and has really done nothing oise sinco the war closed, informed the Macon Telegraph that tho planters of the South were now playing into the hands of speculators most admirably, in rushing their cotton on the market. It was just what the Now York buyers and specula? tors wanted. Three weeks ago cotton was firm in New York at 35 cents per pound, but just so soon ns the planters got ready to sell, tho price immediately receded to 29 and 30 cents, with a strong effort on tho part of tho bears to still further reduce it. This gontleman stated that thoro was not a cotton buyer in New York, of any intelligence or reliability, who does not believe that cotton will go to 35 or 40 cen Ls per pound in that mar? ket by or before tho first of next May ; and they candidly and openly express euch au opinion among themselves; and aro laughing in their sleeves at tho rush tho planters are now making upon the market. Just so soon as tho bulk of the 1 cotton crop is out of tho hands of plant? ers, and a close guess can be made of the year's crop, then you will 6ee a reac? tion in tho price that will astonish you. This gentleman expressed real mortifica? tion and shame at the manner in which tho planters were blindly injuring them? selves just now, and expressed the belief that even before Christmas they would ruo their present suicidal policy. Two men were arrested in Troy, on Tuesday, on suspicion of having stolen n hearse which they were very anxious to sell; and on the same day a man was arrested in Pittsburg, Penu., on the chargo of obtaining a coffin under false protences. At tho Chioago Convention, Luoy .Stone said "the mother was the soldier's quartermaster until ho can find his own rations," and the Cleveland Leader com? pliments the quartermaster for "not feeding tho young soldier on hard-tack."

TnE POPE IN LUCK.-The Holy I thor is said to have derived from Pete penoe, from 1860 to tho present yoi 80,000,000 francs, which gives an avers of 10,000,000 a year. The Pontifici treasury will immediately receive frc tho Italian Government 7,000,500 fran on account of tho Pontificial debt, tl amount having been brought to Homo froid by au Italian functionary, a odgod at tho French embassy. T (Ecumenical Council will through contributions add immensely to t funds already in tho Pontifical treosui The Memphis (Tenn.) Daily Sun, Thursday, proves that a cotton fuck in that city will clear $82.75 more overy bale of cotton woven into ck than can be realized by the mills Lowell, Mass.; and that 3,000 bales Memphis would produce- a profit $248,000 in one year, against the $20,( of tho mills of Lowell, built at nea tho same cost. The New England mai facturer pays $16 to get a bale to 1 mill, and loses entirely the profit of I oil from the cotton seed, $60 per ba all of which, with the advantage of lal at lower rates, enters into the gains the home manufacturer. BUSINESS CARDS AND CIRCULARS.- As the season ?B approaching for ?the annual t ravel an d distribution of Vasili ess cards and circulars, our merchants and others will please give attention to the fact that our job office is supplied with tho beat of boards, of all colors, fine commercial note and other paper, and, the. very new? est sud most fashionable styles of type, thus enabling us to supply all of such wants. Some of tho newspapers are talking about what the planters shall do with their money this year. We devoutly hope that the great body of our planters will be able to pay all their debts, and have a comfortable surplus loft; but by the time they have bought and paid for their corn and meat nu1 guano and mules, and a nice wardrobe for the fami? ly, a comfortable carriage for mother, fitted np the house, replenished the chi? na, repaired the fences and stables and put everything in first rate order, the balanoe will not cause them many sleep? less nights. BUSINESS ENTERPRISE.-Our merchants anticipate-and rightfully, we think-a heavy fall business, and as a consequence have laid in large and complote stocks of goods-groceries, hardware, -irv goods, fancy articles, furniture, clothing, boots, shoes, machinery,, etc. Mr. Ri ?. sVrver, of tho "White Store," claims to be ono of the heaviest buyers, abd a walk through his extensivo establishment will furnish evidence that tho claim is not without some foundation. His stock embraces everything coming under tho hoad of dry goods; and he employs over twenty clerks and salesmen, who aro kept constantly busy.. To attempt to enumerate tho various articles to be found on the shelves, would occupy moro space than we could possibly devote to tho subject; and, therefore, we will not attempt it. The carpet department should be mentioned, however, ss it em? braces many grades of floor coverings, .aud tho season is rapidly approaching when a carpet is essentially necessary. There are many other first-class dry goods houses in Columbia; in fact, every department of trade is properly repre? sented in our city, and purchasers from tho country-whether metohants or con? sumers-will find, by visiting the differ? ent establishments, that their wants-be they never so varied-can be satisfacto? rily supplied.
