COLUMBIA, S. C. Friday Morning, October 22,1869, Joyful, Grmtsful ?tut Poetical. The Republican, ol Charleston, thinks thal: the fifteenth amendment will cer? tainly be adopted. "Mississippi and Texas mast ratify, in birder to be admit? ted int? the Union," (that's gloriously "republican,'') and thus the amendment is safe. Well, be it so. But in asm nob as wisdom looks to the end and policy only to the middle, it might be well for the Republican to consider how far the ultimate interests of the whole country will be affected by an amendment like the fifteenth. We have some misgivings. But tho gratified Republican has none. At the prospect of general, unlimited, unqualified suffrage, it grows grandilo? quent, joyful, grateful and poetical. It says: . "Thenceforward, no man, by any State or community, can be deprived of civil rights. The arm of the majestic nation reaches, upholds and defends every citi? zen. Our hearts swell with joy and gra? titude, as we say, with Whittier: " 'I knew tho truth would crush tho lie Somehow, sometime the end would bo; Yet scarcely dared I hopo to see Tho triumph with my mortal eye. M 'But now I seo it. In the Bun A free flag floats, from yondor domo, And at the Nation's hearth and homo. The justice long delayed is done.' " To which we have to Bay-"Swell on, oh hearts! with joy and gratitude." Hu? man ourselves, and esteeming nothing that is human foreign to our nature, the "joy and the gratitude" of even the Re? publican, are pleasing to our souls. Tile matter In Georgetown-Rice Field Hands tn tit? Kleld-Bloquant Appeal from the Radical Organ lu Charleston. It appears that there is trouble in the Georgetown radical camp. To succeed Mr. Webb, deceased, ono Mr. Bowley, C. B., from New England, was nomi? nated by a convention of radicals. The rice field hands and voters want one of their color. Thinking that it is not nil of radicalism for the whito carpet-bag? gers to monopolizo nearly all the spoils of the offices, the dissatisfied have put a colored man in nomination-wo believe one "Mr. Lucas." This has produced trouble. This is called a Democratic trick. Ransier, Chairman of the "Re? publican Executive Committee," is out in a card, and "the faithful" in George? town are told to vote for the regular no? minee. Africa in Charleston comes to tho rescue of Now England in George? town. And tho radical organ steps also to the front, and not wishing to seo "Mr. Lucas," a colored man, triumph, with "ita mortal eye," professes to seo tho Democrats of Georgetown playing a sly and devilish trick, and thereupon it makes an eloquent appcnl to the George? town rice field hands. lu an eloquent and affecting vein, the organ says: "The convention has seleoted the man. He must be elocted. Republicans of Georgetown, yon have been united and firm. You havo, iu past contests, cover? ed yourselves with glory. Go not back? ward. Maintain your honor and your fidelity. Republicans in all parts of the Stato are looking at you. They expect you to bnry personal feelings and ani? mosities, and stand by tho action of your own convention, and the principles of your party. So shall j'our bright record remain untarnished, and you, noble lie publicans of Georgetown, be held in ho? nor, as you now aro by Republicans throughout the Stato of South Carolina." This, row, is fine language, and no doubt thu Georgetown freedmen will un? derstand it all, and bo duly enthused. We have no special preferences in tho matter, but as between Mr. Bowley and "Mr. Lucas," give us Lucas. < -??-> A WO.:D FOR ANDREW JOHNSON-. -From Tennessee, the news ia that Audy is still uppermost. And uppermost may ho j cvor be. Wo hope to chronicle his vic-] tory. We hopo to seo him re-enter the Senatorial arena. Ho is needed there. His pluck, his honesty, his devotion to tho people's weal-these ure wanted there. Wo know that ho will speak manly, earnest words for tho country. Wo know that ho will deal heavy blows at corruption and intrigue and political rascality in general. With satisfaction, wo shall see him beard tho lions that assailed him in their den. Let Tennes? see send him to tho United States Senate. UNFORTUNATE FATAL AFFRAY.-A most unfortunate fatal difficulty occurred be? tween Mr. John P. Foster and Mr. W. R. McDonald, two respected citizens of Augusta, yesterday morning, between 8 j and 9 o'clock, in tho vicinity of tho low- | t-r market, in which, wo regret to say, tho latter lost his lifo from a pistol fired by tho former, and in tho progress of which Mr. Foster sustained u severo wound from a pistol shot in his right ! thigh, tho bull entering just below tho groin, and passing through tho thigh without, howovor, inflicting other than a flash wound. Tho body of deceased was penetrated by three balls, two of which onterod the cavity of tho abdomen, on tho right side, and tho third tho right thigh. Mr. McDonald is said to have fallon after receiving tho third wound, and expired almost immediately. \ A ugusta Constitutionalist. State Agricultural >ai Mo?tiat?ic*l Ba-2 cte ty-A notice frf?mUae Seoratarjr ?n<t Tr^Laarer. <f ] # COOMBIA, ? October 20, i?ol?. ME. ED/TOE: Tho Ex?cutiyo Commit? tee of the State Agricultural and Mecha? nical Society met thia p. m., pursuant to the call of the President, and a quo? rum being present, proceeded to busi? ness. Amongst other matters of interest to the publio, the Committee determined to issue family tioketa of admission to the grounds during Fair week, at $3 for annual and life members, and 85 for other families. Such tickets can, by the 28th instant, be procured from me at the Secretary's office, ia this city. Also, the following resolution was passed: "Resolved, That the Secretary be in? structed to request all the newspapers of the State, to notify their readers that all articles intended for exhibition at the approaching Fair, will be sent to and re? turned from Columbia by all the rail? roads in the State, free of charge, and all visitors passed to and from Columbia for one fare." All tho papers in the State are respect? fully requested to extend this notice. Further, it was "Resolved, That the 'Premium List' bo published in the Columbia and one of tho Charleston papers, and extra copies be issued for the use of tho Seoretary." You will, therefore, please publish the "Premium List" as early as practicable. Thc public are assured, that tho pros? pects of the approaching Fair aro most flattering. Tho old Fair Grounds have been procurod, buildings are hoing orect od and will bo completed by the ?imo of tho Fair, and encouraging reports como from all sections of tho State, as to tho interest mauifostod in our success, and tho quantity aud variety of articles to be exhibited. Respectfully, D. WYATT AIKEN, Secretary. MESSRS. EDITORS: I perceive in your paper of recent date, that Governor Scott will deprive mo of my commission of Notary Public. This auuouucemeut is a surprise to ino, for I never applied for nor received such a commission. Please insert this piece of correct information, as I do not doubt that you havo no in? tention to mislead tho public. I do not intend to suffer my reputation iu busi? ness to bo damaged by Madamo Rumor. R. H. THARIN. CUAEEESTON, S. C., October 18, 18G9. DE. J. C. FAUEU.-Dr. Faber has been appointed to the Professorship of Mo? dern Languages iu the South Carolina University, in tho placo of Professor Sachtleben, resigned. Dr. Faber has been long enough iu Greenville to re? commend himself to tho respect and to secure tho kindness und good wishes of numerous friends. Ho has filled tho chair of modern languages in Forman University, and of professor of Latin. Ho stands high as au instructor, and we doubt if the services of any ono could have been secured to the South Gindina University moro acceptable to tho State in tho department assigned him. {Greenville Enterprise. L Altai-: FIEE IN FEEN ANDES A.-A de? structive fire occurrod in Fernandiua ou Tuesday afternoon. The fire broke out in Dr. Clay's handsome residence, which was entirely consumed, together with Mr. McGinn is' residence adjoining. The dwelling of Judge McGehee, Judge Hammoud, and threo or four others, caught fire, but were saved with slight damage. Tho firo, fortunately', was iu the outskirts of tho town; otherwise, tho towu must have suffered much more se? verely, as the wind was blowing freshly from the South-west. The loss is esti? mated at 820,000. Dr. Clay's residence was the largest in Fernandina, and not insured. Mr. MeGiuuis' propel ty was partially insured. I .fi id: sn a r Hie ( Fla. J Un ?un, 1 it lt. How IT WAS DONE.-Tho New York | Times says that on tho day of tho grand gold Hurry iu that city, Fisk A; Co. set a ! man to watch Gen. Butterfield, Assistant Treasurer of tho United States, nnd thus learned a few minutes sooner than tho rest of tho crowd that ho had received j orders to sell gold. They theroforo sold out at once, and saved themselves. Tue Sun says they got this information by tapping the telegraph. Dry earth has recently been introduced as a deodorizer, and tho result of thu now process is reported to bo perfectly effective. Among other illustrations, it is stated that at the meat preserving es? tablishment, nour Melbourne, Australia, where 30,000 sheep are frequently slaugh? tered in ono day, there is not tho slight? est smell, in consequence of tho uso of dry earth as a deodorizing agent. BURNING OF THE LOCISIAXA STATE SE? MINARY.-On Thursday night, the Loui? siana Stnto Seminary, near Alexandria, was destroyed by lire. Tho library, ap? paratus and most of tho furniture wero saved. The loss is about $150,000. No insurance. Tho Uro is believed to have been tho work of an incendiary. A letter intended tor Oshkosh, Winne? bago County, Wisconsin, was directed lo Alisquash, Rutabaga County, and reach? ed its destiuatiou. If you have Dyspepsia, use "Solomons' Strengthening and Invigorating Bitters.

Uso "Solomons'Strength? ening and Invigorating Bitters." 013 G i Some uneducated persons can accom? plish much. Many a niau who can't writo has made his mark. If you aro an Invalid, and wish a Ro storer and luvigorator, "Uso Solomons' Strengthening and Invigorating Bitters." MB. BDr?on: The Chairman of the Commifcteo o? Ways and Means, Mr. Ed? ward Hope, iu your ioaue of 19th, under? takes to exonorote the Committeo of Ways and Meare by explaining facts, but fails to controvert the statement I made in your paper of 14th, which I again reiterate: "That certain members of Council did, without authority tho ro? of, borrow money and hypothecate stocks of tho city, in violation of law; that the oity is spending monoy in excess of its means, and, os a consequence, is build? ing np a debt which the citizens will be anublo to liquidate." Mr. Hope is un? fortunate in bis extract from a preamble introduced by himself at a meeting of Council on 16th July. There is not one word in the same showing that the trea? sury was bare of fnnds, and that it wou'd be necessary to borrow money to meet the expenses incurred for the agricultu? ral buildings. The extract quoted to show that the city treasury was empty, reads as follows: "Tho financial condition of the oity prevents ns from making any very libe? ral appropriation for the purpose this year. The oity, however, will necessari? ly have to appropriate a sufficient mun to cover the expenses that will have to be mada to accommodate all thoso who ex? hibit at tho approaching Fuir. As tho appropriation will be largo, it would bo advisable to consult the wishes of tho tax-payers of the city on the subject." This paragraph-if it means auythiug -means that the city would not, in its financial condition, bi able to ranko a large appropriation, and suggests tbat tho citizens should be consulted ns to the propriety and extent of the expendi? ture. I may well ask, why did the Chair? man of tho Committee of Ways and Means, or tho Mayor, who presided at tho publie meeting of citizens, fail to stato to them that money would have to bo borrowed to carry out their views? Why did tho Chairman of tho Committee on Ways and Means fail to nsk authority to borrow money at the Council meetiug on 6th August, when the coutract waa awarded to Mr. Johnson to erect the buildings, ho beiug tho member whose especial duty it was to keep Council ad? vised as to tho finances of tho city? Tho question nt issue between Mr. Hopo and myself is not as to tho neces? sity and propriety of erecting tho agri? cultural buildings. I fully concur with him and tho Council who voted therefor as to tho iuvestment being advantageous to tho citizens at large. His attempt, therefore, to create sympathy, and palli? ate tho error committed by cstublisbiug a precedent, which, if followed up, may prove disastrous to tho city iluances, is futile; as also is tho attempt to show that the Mayor called two mcotings of Coun? cil for tho purpose of getting authority to borrow money. There were threo meetings of Council called during the month of August. On the 6th, a quorum was present, and gave tho coutract for the buildings to Mr. Johnson, as already stated. On 17th, au extra meeting was called, bat failed to get a quorum by tho absence of two members. At this meeting, tho members present were not apprized of its object, as the Chairman of tho Committees of Ways and Meaus did not seo fit to pub? licly announce this as the object-if in? deed il teas the cause of the meeting being called. On tho 23d, tho money was re? ceived by tho City Treasurer, and on tho 31st of August a regular meeting of Council was held, a quorum present, but even then tho subject was not brought to tho attention of Council, and their ap? proval asked. Nor did tho Committee of Ways and Means report their action until tho subject had been mooted out? side, and investigations were hoing made by other parties. The City Attorney can no doubt explaiu his connection with the altair as to his approval-whether it meant that Council had tho right to bor? row money and hypothecate stocks, or that tho Committee of Ways and Means had a right to do so without authority of Council. Ono word more, Mr. Chairman of tho Committee of Ways and Means. It is a duty you owe to tho citizens of Columbia to check expenditures in ex? cess of tho resources of the city; to pay off tho accrued interest on bonds; to im? prove the financial condition of the finances, HO that tho eity bonds will bo at pur. Do you pursue this course by a system of economy and retrenchment, and by stating to Council that tho cx : ponditures made are in excess of their : menus? Would not tho same policy, if ' pursued in your private affairs-spending I more than your income, no matter in how laudable objects, and borrowing ; monoy nt ouo per cent, per month-lead to the inevitable result ol' bankruptcy?

A Wom> ON THE CONDITION OF OUR STREETS. -Wo are pleased at being able to say that our streets have been much improved under tho active direction of Aldorman Agnow, Chairman Committee on Streets. He has properly selected those streets for ropairs that are moro generally used, and thus ho is improving the transportation of the oity. Wo hope that this work may bo prosecuted with continued efficiency. Clean, well-worked streets are a decided advantage to auy city, and this advantage we ought by all meaus to secure. A TOURNAMENT AT THE STATE FAIR. From a notice iu our columns, it will bo seen that n. committee of Columbia gentlemen hnvo taken this matter in baud. It will be nu attractivo feature ot 1 tho Fair, especially to the young; and if, I na anticipated, representatives como in j from all purls of tho State, it will be n goodly sight. There will bo a grand ca- J valcade, animated by a "knightly" spirit. : Gallant young men and fair women, i prancing steeds, waving penons, grace- 1 Cul costumes, will recall thc knightly ero, and revivo tho spirit of a chivalrous age. Wo bolievo that thero is a souud philoso? phy iu these amusements. lu those times of depression, theso occasions como to chango tho current of thought and to produce a better feeling. Heneo, wo wish "tho knights of South Carolina" success in tho proposed trial of skill and j ht rscman8hip at their grand tournament. THE FAIR-THE FINAL ARRANGEMENTS BV THE MANAGERS.-Wo iuvito attention to tho notico of Col. Aikcu, Secretary, to bo found in to-day's PH??NIX. Wo aro gratified to learn that tho prospects for tho Fair aro so bright. Wo feel that its success is assurod, and tho matter is now removed from tho sphcro of doubt. Great interest ia manifested throughout j tho Stnto in behalf of tho Fair autl a I largo crowd of visitors is anticipated. Somo of tho Counties lmvo uot respond-1 ed yet to tho moderato call for material aid, but wo hopo that by tho 1st Novem? ber next, tho Treasurer of tho Society will havo each Couuty's quota. A small contribution from each County which has not yet responded to tho Treasurer, (whoso address is Cokcsbury, S. C.,) is all that is needed. Wo hopo that some man, iu every Couuty, interested iu thc cause of tho Fair, will seo to it that his County does its part in this littlo proli I rainnry transaction. As Columbians, we i . aro gratified to state, that tho liberal | conduct and tho generous spirit evinced ' i by her municipal authorities and by her , J citizens in behalf of tho Fair, received a | ; lively recognition at tho hands of tho Committee. Wo know that Col. Aiken, ! ; tho Secretary and Treasurer, is doing his j work industriously autl well. A man of I raro energy-au enthusiast in agricul- ? j turo-the work upon which ho is en ' gaged, is with him a labor of lovo, and ' thc public may count upon its being well J I done. Ho has boeu wiso enough to con I for freely with tho former Secretary tho moving spirit in that way boforo tho war-our excellent and humorous friend. Col. Gage, of Uuion. Uniting, as ho I will, his own energy to tho experience of Col. G., thc present Secretary will, wo J feel sure, do his important and controll j iug part. In liuc, wo tako especial plea I sure in stating to tho public, that tho 1 final arrangements for tho Fair have boon j made, and that the field is now open to ? tho country. We learn that tho Secre? tary has received a number of npplica I tiona from this State and abroad, to rout certain spaces in tho building, for cxhi I bi tors to show articles not of their own ! manufacturo. On this subject, thoCoui ? mittoo decided to make no assessment nt ' this Fair, but to allow all such persons tho privilego of exhibiting their arl ides j upon tho samo terms as ail other oxhi : bitors. lint hereafter, tho Committee i would deem it proper to rent spaces in I tho hall to such persons as may not have articles of their own produce and manil j facturo, but ut tho samo timo may bo j willing to pay for tho privilego of cxhi I biting such general articles as they may ' bo interested in. This is a foaturo that prevails iu tho Northern Fairs-is a sourco of income to tho Fair, and eau, with propriety, bo introduced in our next and succeeding Fairs.
