COLUMBIA, S. C. Tuesday Morning, October 19,1869. ThcPhllosophyof Pars y Organlxatlona. Tike Conclusions R.CKctie<I. There are some men who, juetly prid? ing themselves upon their disposition to think, judge and decide for themselves, are disposed to decry party organizations aa inconsistent with.freedom of thought and action. Na one oan possibly appre? ciate more than ourselves tho element of independence in thought and conduct. We deem it an essential part of manhood, and we would as soon part with life ns with our individuality. Now did party connection or adhesion necessarily iu volvo a sacrifico of one's individuality, we are free to say, that we could never be of any political party whatever. But it does not, and it is well for society and country and family that it does not. For .were men of independent views and cha? racter driven from the ranks of organized par tics, thou would public affairs in coun? tries under a popular government fall under the control of such elements as would soon utterly Wreck it, with all its interests of public order and tranquility, of religion, education and pro pert y. Tho caco is simply this, in a practical point Of Vi?wVln ?f?t odntotry,;jfcties are a necessity. Not only do they preserve the popular equilibriurjitYnofc only do they uct ns chocks and* balances upon each other to th? public advantage, but they tire tho actual means whereby direction is given io the administration of public affairs. Ii a mau has a certain policy to carry out, he must, ex rei necessitate, use party instrumentalities to accomplish the end in view. Again: In a popnlar go? vernment, the people are apt logically and naturally to divide into two great divisions. Now, these grand divisions existing, the citizen, desirous of partici? pating in public affairs and of exerting his influence in them, if ho seeks to ef? fect a practical result, must, perforce, unite himself with ono or the other of these great parties, into which the mass divide and falk And if ha cannot en? dorse all the views held by either party, he must, of oourse, act with that one that' approximates closest to his own views of policy and principles. He must do this, or throw away his influence. To be absolutely independent in action, in such a oise, is to ber a political cypher. A man in such an instance, may be a po? litical fl gu re-head, but he will bo that and "nothing more." But ono more point: We proceed to show, that in identifying himself in political aetion with the party of his selection, ho need not abdicate his . individuality-need not surrender his in? dependence as a mah. When an intelli? gent man proceeds to act with the Demo? cratic or the Republican party, we do not understand that ho thereby and thence? forth adopts any and everything that is put forth by the party with which ho acts. We are Democratic-that is, we adhere to the Democratic party iu its general spirit and features-but we hold ourselves ? free to criticize and oven to oppose any thing that we deem objectionable, though iu a Democratic dress. And such, we presume, is the spirit that controls every intelligent man, whether Democrat or Republican. To take any other view of the matter, is preposterous and absurd. We oertainly do not feel ourselves bound to uphold any and all notions that Demo? cratic men, or journals, or conventions may enunciate. If a Democratic fool says something that wo do not approve, we are no more expected to stand by that, than we wonld expect an intelligent radical to endorse all the fooleries and absurdities that appear under a radical cloak. Fools, "who rush in where angels fear to tread," may utter the senseless cry-"Our parly, rigJtl or wrong." Bot sensible mon, with duo regard to truth and deoency, will say-"Ourparty wrong, we will seek to make il right." Heneo, our conclusion: 1. That parties must exist in free coun? tries. 2. That the voters naturally divide into two great divisions. 8. That the voter must, for practical purposes, fall into lino into one or the other grand divisions of thc political army. 4. That ho must join the corps noarest the same complexion with himself. 5. That in doing this, ho makes no sa? crifico of his independence, as he enlists to fight with associates and not to think with them exactly alike. 6. That he must fight with one parly or the other, or throw away his powder and bull. 7. That after joining the ranks of tho selected corps, ho is not blindly to fol? low, but may essay to lead it in thc path of victory and success. - > . i-* <> t> i A Northern speaker has well said: "Russia had her Poland, Austria her Hungary, England her Ireland, and Ame? rica her South. Democracy said unbind them; let them up and let thom in." . f Tk? M*tt?r Kx>?????--* . -1 Oar co temporary of the Win u ab o rc Netos has ailudod ta the fact that ia tho Demooratio p?rty oonfliotiog tiow? are? upheld IQ relation to the flnanolal quoa tioua of the day. That able and icpsr tial journal, the Baltimore Sun, in au ar? ticle republished iu our col nco nu in our issue of the 17th inst., gives an easy ex? planation of the discrepancy to which wo are referring. It very properly says, that tho language of?the Chicago plat? form, which nominated General Qrant, and that of tbe New York platform, which nominated Mr. Seymour, are olike ambiguous with regard to tho phraseolo? gy used in rcferenco to the public debt. Tho Sim pointedly says: "Both parties agreed substantially that the debt must bo paid 'according to the terms of the coutruot.' But what were those terms? That was precisely tho question that men were loft to answer for themselves, according to thoir own notions of what was just or expedient. It was this ambiguity in the Democratic platform winch enabled Gov. Seymour and Mr. Pendleton to stand side by Bide upon it. It was tho samo ambiguity in the Republican platform which, while it satisfied the bond-holding interest at tho Eastward, did not offend the non-bond holdiug tox-payera of the West." This, it will bo seen, shows very plain? ly wbonco arose tho discrepancy butweon the views of even leading Dem?crata on this question. It will also bo seen that a similar discrepancy prevailed in the Republican party on the same subject. But the main point that we desire to moke with tho News is, that in order' to show that the nnti-radicalists ol Uouth Carolina should sever party association with their natural allies-the National Democracy-it mast give a bettor argu ! ment than that based upon Democratic I differences on the subject of finances. And further, assuming that the News will accept a fair-minded view of the matter, we repeat the point previonsly made that party differences on some pointe aro not inconsistent with a hearty and unani? mous co-operation on the main question. Now, the point of attack for us in South Carolina, and for the Democracy in gen? eral, is radicalism in power, radicalism entrenched in office, dispensing tho spoils, and wielding tho sword of govern? mental patronage. Our policy is, disre? garding minor differences, to direct our forces upon the radical citadel. Our ob? ject should be to plant upon that citadel the triumphant colors of Democratic, constitutional rule. And with this ob? ject we should not hesitate to take into our ranks all who are willing to strike against onr politioal foes; whether he hails from tho North, South, East ot West; whether he believes the national debt ought to bo paid in greenbacks 01 in coin; whether he believes in the fif? teenth or six teen tli amendment, or ic neither; .whether ho bo black, yellow, 01 white; whether ho comes from Alaska, and is a pet of Mr. Sewurd; or comet from Africa, and is a pet of Mr. Sumner or comes from China, and is a protege o! Mr. Koopmansohap. Mn. EDITOK: In your issue of the 14th an article signed "Citizen," commenting on the action of tho Committee of Way! and Means of tho City Council, domaudi that tho facts should be known. "Citi zen" says: "No statement was mudo t< Council that the treasury was short o means." Hod "Citizen" have looke( over tho proceedings of Council on tin 10th of July, ho could have read the fol lowing paragraph, viz: "The financial condition of tho cit; proveutB us from making any very libe ral appropriation for the purpose thi yoar. Tho city, however, will necessari ly have to appropriate a sufficient sum ti cover the expenses that will have to b made to accommodate all those who ox hibit at tho approaching Fair. As th appropriation will be large, it would b advisable to consult the wishes of th tax-payers of thu city on the subject." After tho meeting of citizens anthon/ ing Council to erect tho buildings, th Mayor called two meetings of Council when tho appropriation of funds woul have boen brought up, but no qtiortu hoing present on oithor occasion, it i difficult to seo why tho Committee ( Ways and Means should bo blamed fe others' absence. Tho majority of Com eil decided it was to tho interest of th city that tho Fair should be held in C( lumbia; and that by erecting suitabl buildings, tho Stute Agricultural nu Mechanical Society might lind it to the interest to continuo holding it, nnnuall; at tho capital. Having but a limite i time, and being awaro thut weeks mu: elapse beforo a quorum of Council coal be had, the Committee, with the appro' al of his Honor tho Mayor and the Cit Attorney, borrowed the amount uecess ry to accomplit!h the object in view; tin hesitato not to say, in their judgmen tho investment is a good one. Win would our citizens have said if tho Coe mitteo had douu nothing, and allow* this matter to remain in slatu quo? 'flu would have .justly said: ''Council has, I thoir supinoheau and indifference, pr vented tons of thousands of dollars beir spout in our midst, and given a fat check to an enterprise which would ni doubtedly have redounded to tho bene! of the people of the whole State." EDWARD H?PE, Chairman Com. Ways and Means. '. 'f !? . 11 a i . AJTOTIUTR RADICAL OnTBAO?.^Tb? Yankee radical journals aro alwavB filled with "rebel outrages," whioh have no oxiatenoe except in the brains of the vii laina who invent them, but they never have room for the real outrages against law, order and personal liberty which their minions are daily perpetrating in these South oro territories. 'Oar reade ra remember the killing of A. O. Buffin, the radical sheriff of this County, at the last State election, and that the perpe? trator.of tbe deed was unknown. Guv. llullock offered a large reward for the arrest of the alleged] murderer, but with? out securing bis discovery. Yesterday, o couple of tools of Constable Hubbard, of South Carolina, arrested a quiet, peacea? ble citizen of Hamburg, S. C., Mr. Ro? bert Cunningham, on tbo churge of kill? ing Itu Hi ni Tho arrest was made at thc instance, of Hubbard, who mudo aflidavit to the effect that upon information re? ceived, he had reason to behove Cunning? ham committed the murder. Tho pimps of Hubbard wbo mado the arrest, went into Cunningham's storo on Thursday, in a friendly way, taking drinks there, and statiug that they would call again yester? day morning, which they did, arresting Mr. Cunningham, placing him in irons, and taking bira to Columbia. Thus has au irresponsible, illegal, alien oflicitil us sumed the right to deprivo an inoffensive citizen of his liberties, for an offence of Which everybody knows ho is not guilty, which was not committed in South Caro? lina, and when no aflidavit was mado from tho place whero tho killing took place, aud no requisition sent from this State to tho so-called Governor of South Caro? lina. -A ?gusta Constitutionalist. H ay ti continues in a most unsettled condition. Salnuve manages to retain tbo Presidency, but has left his array, it is said, on account of ill health. The majority of the Haytieus, it is stated, aro still devoted to Salnuve, notwithstanding tho perturbed condition in which he manages to keep affairs. The currenoy of tho island has depreciated at a fearful rate, $1,100 in paper being equal to one dollar in gold. If it is true that the peo? ple of Hay ti still have confidence in Sal nave, they certainly have very little faith in his promises to pay. National banks uro forbidden by law to loan to one person or company moro than one-tenth the amount of their capital stock, which is supposed to prevent tbeir indulging in speculative jobbery; bat if they make such loans this defiance of the law does not invalidate tho loan but for? feits the privileges of the bank. It is the lender and not the borrower that must suffer, for the lender is the party tho law has a hold upon. Such is the decision on tho point just rendered in the United States Circuit Court. [New York Herald. Hon. Jefferson Davis changed his mind with regard to visiting Charleston, and sailed Friday evening, in the steamship Cuba, direct for New Orleans. The Sun says in this connection: "Mr. Jefferson Davis left tho city in good health and spirits, the few days' repose he has expe? rienced since arriving from Europe on Sunday evening appearing to have added to his already improved health. He goes to Mississippi on private business, and it is understood to be quite uncertain how long ho may remain there." FXUB.-About 7)? o'clock, Saturday night, flames were found issuing from a kitchen on tbo premises of Mrs. Blake, corner of Columbus and Drake streets. Water was not easily obtained, and before tho lire was extinguished, Mm. Blake's bouse, the house adjoining, occupied by Mr. N. F. Pettit, a small frame house oc? cupied by Mr. Mosely, and tho stable of Mr. H. F. Strohc3k er, wero consumed. Tho loss will not exooed 85,000. [Charleston News. DEATH ON A RAILROAD TRAIN.-On Saturday evening last, just before tho train from Richmond reached Fredericks burg, tho conductor, wbilo going through the cars, discovered that one of the pas? sengers, a man named Owen Korney, from Montreal, Canada, was, though sitting bolt upright, stark dead aud stiff. He had died so suddenly that his brother, whoso arm was around his shoulder, was unaware of his inanimate oondition. Two NEOUOES BURNED TO DEATH.-On Tuesday night, about 12 o'clock, the stables of. Mr. W. W. Barnes, in Nahuu ta, in this County, were destroyed by fire. Two negroes wero sleeping in the stables at tho time. One perished in tho flames and the other escaped, badly burned, only to suffer a few hours, when death carno to his relief. The fire is sup? posed to have been tho work of nn in? cendiary.-Goldsboro News. A homicide was committed, Saturday night, in tho neighborhood of Waterloo. It seems that Charles King, jr., was re? turning from this place to his house, when bo mot with Thos. Patterson, and words were exchanged which led to an affray, in which King was killed. The finding of tho jury of inquest was that King carao to his death by moana of a rock in tho hands of Patterson. [ La ureas v Hie Herald. Thora remains no doubt that Mr. Fri guot, for tho firm of Rothschilds, has been conducting negotiations with the Government for a loan by tho great bank? ing ?rm of ?ll the money they may need nt four por cent. A private letter from M. Friguet intim?tes that ho has been carrying on tho negotiation with Presi? dent Grant in person, and ho believes that tho project will bo carried out. In tho shara light at tho Belgian mili? tary fete, two squadrons of cavalry, at full charge in opposito directions, ran into each other, in turning a hill, and broko tho bones of fourteen ga'luut dra? goons. Hon. Mr. Buckalow, ex-Unitea ?itatos Senator, is one of tho Democrats elected to thePenpRylvauia Senate. He is one of 1 he foremost statesmen of this country. .-?

OIS C . tfeazvfeas.-A Now York judge liss di? rected the granel jury to inquire if the recent gold combination in Wall street Was not a violation of the law making it ? criminal offen?? for twenty or moro parsons to conspiro lOgother to commit tty act injurious to trade or commerce.' Tb? Utew York 7?mes backs this up by calling ba thc grand jury to indict the gold nog. HOMEWARD BOUND.-Ten Roman Cath? olic Bishops and a number of priests and theological students, have taken passage on tbe steamship Baltimore for Bremen, thence to proceed to Rome to attend the CEcnmeuicnl Council. It is probable that Bishop Lyucb, of Charleston, Bishop O'Hara, of Scranton, and Bishop Elder, of Natchez, will join them. A pnrt of the engineers who were en? gaged on the survey of the Bluo Ridge Road, have arrived in Knoxville, and will in a few days commonco a survey from that end of the lino, and meet the parties that aro now surveying from tho South Carolina cud. Two sailors, named Alexander Fisher, of Bath, Me., and Michael MoManu, of Elyria, Ohio, wore burned to death, yes? terday morning, at Charlotte, a village nonr Rochester-the lock-up in which they were imprisoned being destroyed by fire. Hon. A. H. Stephens says of Solomons1 Bitters: "I have used them with decided benefit; in giving tone to the digestive or? gans and g?n?ral 8tren gt h to tho system." A. J. McDonald, a highly respectable citizen of Summerville, Harnett County, Ky., was instantly killed on Tuesday, by thu accidontul dischargo of his gun.

A wonderful cure reported from Penn? sylvania with HEINITSH'S QUEEN'S DE? LIGHT. A girl fifteen years of age, pale and sickly, emaciated, no appetite, losing flesh, with sore oyes, sore mouth, and a general wasting away-all owing to po? verty of blood. After nsing four bottles of the Queen's Delight, her appetite re? turned, digestion improved, increase in growth and flesh, sores romoved, skin bright and olear, and every indication of an improved condition of ber whole sys? tem.

Roughness, Redness, Blotches, Sun? burn, Freckles and Tan disappear where it is applied, and a beautiful complexion of pure, satin-like texture is obtained. The plainest features are made to glow with healthful bloom and youthful beanty. Remember Hagan's MAGNOLIA BALM is the thing that produces these effects, and any lady eau seouro it for 75 cents nt uny of our stores. To preserve and dress tho hair use Lyon's Kathairon. 017J13 And when Abraham and tho people boheld the wonderful cures which wero produced by this drink, Abraham said, 'My children must not suffer; givo me, thy drink to drink, and I will give it a name." And so Abraham drank, and said there was nothing like it, even iu Sangamon County; that it was bitter to tho lips, but good for tho stomach; and because there were bitter times in fighting the raastors of tho plantations, it shull be forever called PLANTATION BITTERS; and HO it lins been.

C We have received from Messrs. Duffie 1 Chapman, our enterprising book me and publishers, a copy of this Schoc History, by our fellow-townsman, Pro! James Wood Davidson. Wo pronounc it excellent-peculiarly well adapted t tho purpose in view. The chapters ar short; tho narrative clear; tho statcmer conciso; the style simple. The uuthc has obtained his materials from auther tic sources, and he evidently aims at thf noblest and best fidelity-fidelity t truth. Tho history begins with Bout Carolina's earliest times, and extends u to the present year, 1869. In the po: tion that is subsequent to all tho writte histories-from 1859 to 18C9-tho authc says, that "the effort has been to pn sent the cvouts of this eventful decade < years, in narrativo as little as possibl tinged with sectional fooling-to stat mere facts, free from all argument an comment."
