COLUMBIA, S. C. Wednesday Morning, October 20,1869. "And Thon, too, O Brotuit" Oar ootemporary of the Winnsboro News, as well as other journals in tho South, appear to regard it their doty to ignore the claims of the National Demo? oraay oven upon the whites of the South. This appears to us very unreasonable, and not lees short-sighted than unrea? sonable. It is undeniable, that the Na? tional . Democracy, since the war and daring the whole of the reconstruction business, hare stood np boldly, man? fully and unequivocally for the rights of that class in the South which radi? calism has stigmatized, denounced, op? pressed, and sought to humiliate into tho very dost.- -The Southern people may forgive, as Christians, bat, as mon, they can never forget how, in the matter of reconstruction, the radical party insulted tho honored dead of the South, and how this porty disregarded the rights und .outraged the eensibilitiea of tho living. Wo haye but to look around in order to see tho fruits -?ow pressed to onr lips of that bitter, malignant and relentless ' m nei?het Goth, Yandal nor of. In the meantime, of the North stood lone weakneos and spoke words to us ?of | >pe, of cheer. Io the Which have occurred r-Jiave sought to bring : to the rule of the Cou ?tftoti^and te aecure the just and pro t>e?-rehabilitation of the "rebel States,'' with their rights and dignity unimpaired. In thia effort the Democratic party failed. Bnt is failure in a good canse, and in our cauoe, jost ground for onr repudiation of our political allies? No generous man can say that ibis. But the failure has been ? political only. Whatever of con - servativism, moderation and concession that has been impressed npon the domi? nant party, is largely duo to the persist? ent Struggles of the Democracy. If the National Democratic party has failed to overcome radicalism, it has at least ex? tracted from it some of its bitter ele? ments, and .inf need into it something of a magnanimous and forgiving spirit. The labors of the constitutional party of the country-of the National D?mocratie party-haw, therefore, not boen in vain. But had theso noble efforts utterly failed, y eb still would it be oar duty to acknow? ledge tho Claims of that party upon the proscribed class in the South. When such journals as the News sneer at the National Democracy, we feel that Demo? cracy is wounded in the house of one who ought to be'it? friend, and are dis? posed to exclaim, ia the spirit of Caesar, When ho saw the uplifted dagger of .bru? tus, tu, Brute.'" If the Democratic porty is to foll ot the base of Pompey's statue, let it not be said that ingrati? tude, worse than traitor's arm, dui vau quieh it. Bat we trust it will not full ere its mission is done. It may have Its Cascas and ita Brutus, but it will be no Cajsar-either to wear the purple or pre? maturely to die. MASONIC FAXB.-A grand Masonic Fair is to be given in Charleston during the coming session of the Grand Lodge of South Carolina, on the 15th November. It is intended for the benefit of Lodges and Chapters of that city, enlarging the charitable principles of the order, and thus diffusing the true spirit of Ancient Craft Masonry. Masonic jewels, regalia, lodge furniture, silver aud plated ware, will be offered for sale and rallie, together with a variety of fancy and nseful arti? cles. Many of the railroads throughout the State and several steamers hove, in their usual public spirit, reduced the price of travel, and will issue excursion tickets, good for ten days, from the 13th November, for one fare. PRIM TO THK CUBANS.-"Liberties and reforms" are to be granted to the Cuba UH when they lay down their arms. So wo hear from Madrid.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.-Judge Boozer disposed of the sessions docket on Saturday night last; and on Monday and yesterday, bis Honor was attacking tho oivil docket vigorously. All yester? day was consumed in "weeding out" the issue docket, which was very neces? sary, on account of deaths, bankrupt? cies and settlements. It is refreshing to hear the civil dockets once again called in Richland. Tho peoplo will learn with pleasure that debts can agnin be recovered upon eon tracts, nud redress obtained for privato ivroags. No civil? ized community ouu prosper without n well organized judiciary, where men can have their differences settled by the quiet process of tho civil law. Wo seem to bo reaching that point again in Richland. It is due to Judgo Boozer to say that he bas labored faithfully to this eud. Ho held an extra Term in Equity during the sweltering heat of the dog days, and heard many eases involving thc most interesting questions, which wem very elaborately and ably argued by thc bar. Mince that time, ho has been dayB in and lays out holding courts. The Legislature must see the need of some change in tho new judioiary system of the State, by which business may be ex? pedited, and tho judges have at least some time to write their decrees and ex? amine authorities, ofter the hearing of the causes. The business of the country demands these changes, and fairness to tho judges and an enlightened adminis? tration of the law equally demand it. A WORD FOR COLUMBIA-HER MER CHANTS-HER MANUFACTURERS -HEH LA BOMNO MEN-HER SCHOOLS-HER AD? VANTAGES IN GENERAL.-Some months ago, we sent our presents greeting to the country, and invited to this city numbers and capital. Allow us to renew th? invi? tation. We believe that few cities in tho South present advantages superior to Columbia. Before the war, this city was regarded one of tho handsomest inland towns in tho country. Locatod on tho level and on the gently-sloping banks of the Congaroe, hurd by where the Broad and Saluda mingle their waters; charac? terized by streets clean, wide, shady and well drained; adorned by fino gardons and handsome residences and an attract? ive Park; filled with schools, churches aud colleges-male and female, and con? taining a flourishing military academy an ornament to Arsenal Hill-having all tliese points of interest, Columbia was, indeed, a goodly place-a fit habitation for men, if not for gods. Now, she is not whntshe was. Bat we rejoice to say, that she is in a courso of solid reconstruction. She is laying the snck-cloth aside and again putting on the mantle of prosperity. She is restoring I herself to something of her former vigor and well-being. With busy hands and active brains and undismayed spirits, ber sons and daughters are building up the waste placeo; and gathering, with pious zeal, tho loose, disjointed fragments of tho broken structure of their fortunes, they are seeking to build up an edifico stronger and more enduring than the former one-and, with the favor of God, they will succeed. Nor aro Ihe present advantages of Columbia slight. In foot, they are considerable. With its central location; its converging railroads; its ad? mirable water power; it presents a fino field for capital to invest its means in mercantile or manufacturing establish? ments. There are lands, too, of admi? rable character for tho agriculturist, in tho vicinity of tho city. And at present, there is quite a demand for laboring men in tho mechanical departments of busi? ness. As a placo of residenco, few places present moro attractions. With a climate scarcely less fi no than that of Aiken; with a reputation for health that is established ; with churches and schorls; with a socic I ty refined and intelligent; with a commu? nity generally harmonious and peaceful; with all these attractions, wo may well speak a word for our goodly city. Have you cotton to sell? Wo have liberal buy? ers. Hftvo yon goods of all kinds, dry goods, groceries, clothing, shoos, Lats, crockery, wooden and tinware, Seo., Sec., to buy? Wo havo enterprising merchants I to supply you. With foundries and mills and work-shops and manufactories of wool, cotton, wood, leather, ?c., Ac, Columbia is well supplied. But abe j wants more, especially iu the department of mechanics and manufactures. This department needs an ampler develop? ment. Wo want such men to como here as those who have not como-for in? stance, Mr. SpraQ 'o. We want in Co I lumbin to increaso our manufacturing I rosonrces-we want numbers and capital. Heneo it is, that on tbis autumn morn? ing, we again send forth our greetings to tho country, and repeat tho cordial wel? come that awaits the means we need nod ' the substantial men we want. - ?-------m C'BUMBS.- Tho barning of a portion of the rafters in an out-bo uso on the pre? mises of Mr. G. Logan, yesterday, caused an alarm of fire to be sounded. The firemen were out, but soon rolled in again. Tho garrison flags vere at half-mast yesterday, as a token of respect to thc Into ex-President Pi oree. We aro indebted to the Committeo of Arrangement?-Messrs. Su tho ri in, Hax all and Lyons-for a card Of invitation to the fair of tho Virginia State Agricul? tural Society, to be held in Richmond, on tho 2d, 3d, 4th and Oth days of Novem? ber. In tho Circuit Court, at Charleston, the petition of H. G. Beard, of Colum? bia, for np po in tine nt US United States Commissionor, was granted, and the pe? titioner duly commissioned. Carpenters sud masons nro in demand in this city. Tho knights of Winnsboro have a tournament on tho 28th instant. TUB MANOO.-Wo examined, yester? day, with considerable interest, two im? mense vines, containing a liberal quanti? ty of fruit, growing on the premises of Ur. George S. Trezevant. This valuable addition to the productions of our fields and gardens seems to be of sturdy gre vfth, and the yield in fruit is irnaiouse. It should be generally cultivated. The doctor gives ns the following description of the plant, and his experience wKb it: "The mango vino is said to bo a na? tivo of Africa, South America nui the ladies. It grows on tho banks >1 tho rivers, in rich alluvial soil. In this' cli? mate, it begins to flower about toe middle or latter part of August, and will conti? nuo until killed down by the frost Ono vino will last from three to four years springing afresh every spring, if tue roots are kept protected from the cold by straw during the winter. The fruit is a most delightful esculent-being mora delicate, than tho squash, whioh it resembles in flavor. It can also bo prepared lilia tho Guinea squash, and makes a most excel? lent pickle. The fruit can be kept and used all winter as needed, by storing in a dry place. It is a very succulent plant, aod requires to be kept well watered. One vine, when bearing well, will pro? duce from eight to ten bushels. . Tho preparation for planting is'all the culture it needs-growing vigorously and soon covering the arbor on which it is trained. " HOTEIJ ABHTVALS, October 19-Hicker son House.- W. W. Webster, :AV F.
