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

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.
