COLUMBIA^ S. C. Tues i iy Morning:, October 26,18CC. Tit? IVcvr not tue .'Old ?tmor-atlc Kn li? nc r.' The Wiunsburo Hexes has not correctly given our suggestions uu ?ho subject of our relations to the national Democracy. Tho advice attributed to us is not tho advice wo have given, and time and time again wo have thrown but the idea that the Democracy, to which we advise adhe? rence, ia neither a stagnant nor a bour? bon io Democracy. We have again and again saggested that it is eminently wise to recognize in our politics the new order of things, a-d to regulate our action accordingly. This is the spirit of our politics-this the animating principle of our creed. We profess to indulge in no vain abstractions. We have no ideal purposes in view-no romantic vein to indulge. Ia politics we mean ' busi? ness, and we aim at practical resulta. Kow, in all this, no doubt, onr friend of tba News will say that he agrees with us. Bat here arises the. difference : his programme, in his judgment, leads to practical and effective results. In ojr judgment, our program m o does this. Without, therefore, seeking to convince each other, let the views go forth, and upon their merits let them staud or fall. There is, however, one point upon whiob we desire to add a word or two, and we are free to say, that whilst we advocate the utility and necessity of act? ing with a national party, and with that which approximates nearest to us, we yet agreo with the News, that our State politics are not to be subordinated to those of any national party wh ato ver, to the damaging of the interests of the State. Sometimes the affairs of tho Stato are one thing, and national affairs are another thing. We reoognize tho diff?r? ence, and are not unmindful of the fact that, in an electiou purely State-in nil elections outside of Congressional aud Presidential ones-it becomes us to look directly to State affairs and to Stnto is? sues. The business of the State, in re? lation to herself, may be one thing, and the business of the State, in relation to the nation, may be another-all of which is consistent and ia perfcot keeping with all we have written and advised on the subject of party claims and our relations to party. Prince Arthur und Mr. Gluckmcycr. Mr. Gluckmeyer is an Alderman oi lon, Canada. Prince Arthur is one '?-ns of the Queen of England. Thv ^e visits his royal mother's do? minions. Mr. Gluckmeyer-we beg his pardon, Alderman Gluckmeyer-enter? tain! him at his house at London, in Ca? nada, as aforesaid, and "thereby hangs n tale." It appeurs that for two whole days, Mr. Gluckmeyer entertained his royal guest. Tho guest departs, audio! it ir found that Mr. G.'s bill amounts tc 82,500, and somebody is invoked to paj it. It seems that Prince Arthur was Iht guest of an agrionltural association, anti to this "bucolic body," the enterprising Alderman presented the bill of expense; -$1,250 per day. At the last acconuts the matter was not settled. The ag ii cnlturalists proposed to compromiso ot $1,000, but this the astute Mr. Cluck meyer positively declined. Wo canuo: say how the matter there will end, bu we do know how the matter ends wit! ns. We concur with the World, in iti humorous comments, that if somo peo pie of limited understanding "can* keep a hotel," Alderman Gluckmeye: shows tho ability to keep a lodgiuf house. We certainly can say for our Al dermen what tho New York World say; for theirs: "We are not going to extol our owj Aldermen. Bat we think it safe to ven tare the assuranco that not one of then would oharge his Highness $1,250 pe diem, for the use of his habitation. " Think of one of our Aldermon enter faining Gen. Grant or Bobert Bonne for two days during the npproachin? Fair, and then calling upon tho Agricul taral and Mechanical Society to foot bill of $2,500! Why thr thing is prc posterous, and yet euch a caso was thu of the rapacious Mr. Gluckmeyer, of Lon don, Canada, who entertained hisPrinc at the rato of $1,250 per day. Why sue a per diem is enough to tempt away on legislators, who get but $0. And it woul bo a blessing to South Carolina, if w could induce them to entertain Prince in Canada, instead of making laws i South Carolina. ?-??-? Ii. k A. II.

He feels with the poet: "'Tin distance) lends enchantment to the viow, And robes the mountain In its azure hue." ? Hr. Parker Pillsbury writes some let? ters for tho Ec v ultu ion. The New York World gives .us. some extracts, ?howing Mr. Pillbury's views on Charleston whis? key and Charleston negroes. We know nothing of tho former, but we think bet? ter than ho does of the latter. Bat with? out further comments, wo give the fol? lowing extract from the World, showing Mr. Pillsbury's ideas on t hese two sub? jects-Charleston whiskey and Charles? ton negroes. The World says: " 'The whiskey hero is diabolical,' ex? claims poor P. P., 'and y ot they (the colored people) appear to love it more than anything else, women as well as men.' We certainly would never have thought of selecting Mr. Parker Pills? bury as a taster, but he speaks so autho? ritatively concerning the quality of the negro whiskey in ?South Carolina, that wo uo loDger doubt his capacity. If the whiskoy there is worso tbau tho World Commissioner found it iu New York, we pity poor P. P., and pray for his* speedy return ere ho finds snakes in his boots. As for tho negroes, they must be aban? doned to their fate. *Thoy drink it red hot from tho barrel, clean and pure,' ho aontinncs, still harpiug on the whiskoy, 'aud I have aeeu mothers pour it thus down tho throats of their six months old babies.' ,cBut this was not thc greatest shock experienced by Mr. Parker Pillsbury. Not only did he fiud tho negro idol whom ho had worshipped a drunken sot, but ho saw that even that wonderful panacea for all human ills, tho ballot, was useless, and worso thuu useless, to him. If ho hud his way just now, while I 8iiQ*ering from tho diabolical whiskey of tho negro-quarters in Charleston, ho would reconstruct tho reconstructed South onco more, nud shut out tho man and tho brother from tho ballot-box. .He surely must have a low estimato of tho solemn lesponsibilties of govern? ment, ho exclaims, 'who would force the ballot on thousands and thousands lo bo seen all over tho South. And forced it was on many men, wherever tho slaves have voted. * * * They knew no moro and cared no moro for what thoy did in voting than if thoy were as infan? tile iu years as thoy uro iu political expe? rience.' As for tho social condition ol theso 'wards of tho nation,' thono 'na? tional freedmen' for whoso sako Mr. Charles Sumner demands that tho coun? try shall bo kept in turmoil a few ycart longer, nothing can bo moro fearful time tho picturo drawu by this astonished abolitionist. Marriage docs not exisl among them; 'very few children art born;''infanticide is common;' in theil wretched homes, 'no family meal scenic over to bo provided,' each member ol tho family doing his own cooking ami eating what he eau get; knives and forkt aro uukuown among thurn; their hub have no floors, no windows, no decent table, chuir, or bed. 'J saw infants ant] : very young children naked from mom ing till uiglit,' says tho penitout Pill? [ bury, 'ami boys of at least a dozet years with only a singlo garment, ant that but a scanty apology. Many wo mon, }-ouug and old, had little on abov< I the waist, and nothing below the knees -and then Mr. Parker Pillsbury goo; into details where we cannot follow him I lost wo should turu tho stomach of Nov York this morning at its brcakfust-table Is this a Rceno from lifo in Dahomey o: among tho Digger Indiuus that Mr Pillsbury is describing; or oro these tin men, mid the wives and children of thi men, for whom the land lins been soakee with blood and tho nation impoverished 'The ballot may bo tho ono thing needfu there,' adds Mr. Pillsbury,' 'but, i seems to me, soap, sand, fiuo-tootl combs, pots, kettles, chairs, tables knives, forks, spoons, decent food, cook iug and clothing, glass windows r.n< looking glasses should nt least go sido b; sido, if they may uot precedo tho right of suiTrago and of sovereignty.'

Do you waut an Appotito? Use Sol mons' Bitters-greatost tonio of the ag NEG BO LA WY BOW.-They are having qnoer times down in Sojtffa Carolina with negro lawyers oud legislators. The negro Legftlatase rAOoluml>? Ifp^fla?, waa, drrdl enough-^ Toariatsv from all part? Of tho country, s to pp sd there to Me the black f?olons, as they would look in al a menagerie. Bat th? way tho law? are administered from-day to day ia so ex? traordinary, that a white man io South Carolina Courts might woudcr whether he had emigrated to Liberia, or was a citizen of a mongrel republic. A letter from Edgefleld thus speaks of the Cirouit Court, now in session: "Tuesday was occupied iu organizing the juries. The grand jury consisted of eight whitesand eleven blacks; potit jury, No. 1, was composed entirely of blacks, and No. 2 had u considerable sprinkling. Several negro constables were employed about the Court House Solicitor P.* L. Wiggins was present for the first time, though it has been nearly a year sinco his election to office. Ho is a Northern man, resides at Benufort, and, it is said, was buying cotton thero at the time of his election. B. B. Elliott, negro, wns present, and, it is reported, at tho re? quest of the Solicitor, to assist him in thc discharge of his duties. "On Wednesday, the Court was occu? pied in tho trial of tho case of tho State vs. Thomas W. Blease, for tho murder of John A. Bnthcrford. These were both white men, and tho jury consisted of niue .whites and threo blacks." With tho aid now received. South Ca? rolina cannot loug bo ignorant of her du? ties under tho Federal Constitution. \Neic York Republic. THE DENOUEMENT OF THE AEROLITE. As wo predicted, the terrific explosion of which we gave uu account last week, was caused by tho descent of an immense mass rosembliug metalic lava in a state of fusion, which occurred about twelve miles North-west of this city. Tho ex? plosion took placo iu mid-air and one of the fragments fell iu tho yard of Mr. J. M. Lattimer, of Stewart Comity, and penetrated tho ground to tho depth of eighteen inches. Mr. L. was absent at tho time, but returning home and ascer? taining from his family what had befal? len, proceeded at once to excavate the strange substance and soon brought it to light. A x>ortiou of tho same is now on exhibition at Ea fan Ia. Doubtless further investigation will roveal tho presence of other fragments ot the huge mass, tbo explosion of which was heard at a distanco of thirty miles. Wo hope to be able to procure a relic of this wonderful curiositj', and trust tho whole may bo secured and forwarded to the Smithsonian Institute, with an au? thentic record of all tho facts connected with its descent. - Cuthbert Appeal, Ui/t, PRINCE AUTHUR.-Tho Torontu (Cana? da) Leader says: Princo Arthur must surely sigh for some repose after tho exhausting labors bo has had to perform since lauding in Canada. Ho arrived at Halifax on thu 21st of August, and in the seven weeks which have sinco elapsed, it is calculated that ho hus received aud replied to about 170 addresses, attended 120 luncheons and dejeuneurs and 15 balls, danced with 077 partners, received 1,000,000 or so of bouquets, shaken 20,000 hands, shot 150 head of game, traveled 5,000 miles, been made an Indian chief, and listened to several million "Cod bless hims." The addresses, it is computed, would, if joined, make a shoot about three-quar? ters of a milo long, and tho slaughter of animals to supply tho parchment must have been fearful. Aller all this work the Prince is certainly outitled to some rest, and no ouo will grudge it to bim when he returns to Montreal. THE WORKINGMEN'S PARTY.-Thc movemout in this city on tho part of the workingmen for making nominations for political offices is simultaneous with ono in New York city. The politicians there, of both partios, aro porplexed not a lit? o by tho movement of the working? men .or a third party organization. The Tribune, speaking for tho Republicans, gives them tho cold shonlder, on the sus? picion that they will ultimately fall into the hands of tho professional politicians, while the Express and tho World, on be? half of tho other side, tell them that the only real workingmeu's party is the De? mocratic party. Tho workingmen calcu? late that they can muster votes enough to enable them, even at this coming elec? tion, to hold the balance of power. The New York Daily Star approves the move? ment, though tho editor cautiously adds: "Wo would not now advise tho working? men, as such, to turn politicians." I Rallimorc Sun. Folks should now look out for their feet. A pair of wetted pedals just now might stock yon in a stylo of cold that sticks to you until next May. Tho next pair of boots you order for yourself or wife, take a piece of linen duck tho size of your solo, and immerso it in boiling tar or pitch. Lot tho boot-maker place it between tho leathers of tho boot sole, and you won't havo a damp understand? ing while their covering lasts. The job can bo so done that tho presence of tho duck will not be perceptible. GAMBLING.-Tho New York Associa ciation for tho Prevention of Gambling has just issued an appeal to tho public for material aid with which to prosecute its work. During tho past year it has succeeded in effectually closing more than ?5U0 gaming haunts, besides reporting over 1,000 venturesome clerks to their employers, lu all but a tithe of tho casos so reported, employees were rotaiued in their positions under pledges that they would avoid gambling in the future. Ina personal difficulty at Havana, Ala., on Saturday last, Mr. Petty T. Hurris killed an Irishmnn named Dolan, with a knife. Hon. A. H. Stophons says of Solomons* Bitters: "I havo used them with deoided ben?fit; in giving tone to the digestive or? gans and general strength to the system." J The, Anderson Intelligencer, ono of tho I representatives of the sterling Demoora MV of the ap coal'try.'-welljPysrK' ^ \ * "The supremo qeatssity ft thationr m to deviso pluuH whereby the Statfwill bo *vrenohed from the grasp of adventurous plunderers. If this ena be donn without sacrifice of principle, there wilt be no trouble to marshal the hosts of Demoera ey under a victorious ban uer in the next campaign. "For some time post, the newspapers of thia y tato bave been discussing this iden? tical question. Wo have takeu no part in it, for the simple reason that its solu? tion does nob seem to us practicable at the present moment. Besides, other is? sues might arise in the future, and there is ample time to consider them all. But iu regard to the conciliatory policy pro? posed by Judge Aldrich, we huvo a word to say. Wo do not wish to 'conciliate tho negro,' but rather to teach him by publie declarations and private acts that wo will do him ample uud exact justice, recognizing his rights under the law and pledging tho Democratic party not to in? terfere with those rights. If snob con? duct on our part begets confidence, it will be of pormanent growth, and the negro will appreciate the oft-repeated de? claration, 'that his best interost is to co? operate with the man who owns tho land. ' Without a distinct and settled policy, based upon principio and commonsense, we must not expect the colored voters of this State to forsake the leadership of carpet-baggers and recreant Southerners. Through these instrumentalities, they have secured extensivo privileges under tho law, nod it is not reasonable to sup? pose that they will throw off their alle? giance to the radical party, unless they feel perfectly safe in every respect that their present advantages will not bo les soued. This is substantially the ground occupied in other Southern States, but I as yet we have seen no indications that ! the leaders of thc D?mocratie party in j this State intend to grasp the situation j iu all of its bearings. -. - THE AMERICAN INCAPACITY ron HIS? TORY.-The New Orleans Timex says : "How futilo and valueless aro all the attempts tu writo tho history of tho late war-how unreliable aro tho statements aud estimates of those historians, who j wrote from tho stand-point of their par I lisna relations, to tho struggle, and events; ! how hopeless is tho longing for a just, i manly, truthful and impartial narrative j of tho incidents of that great contest, has bceu demonstrated by a thousand j examples. So that no honest man of ; either side iu that controversy can read ; any ono of the hundred 'standard histo I ries* which bavo boen given to the w^rld as faithful and veracious records, with any coutidenco in the truth or any respect Tor the impartiality of tho writer. "All our histories have been written in a partisan spirit and with a one-sided view. This is truo as well of our late as of previous wars-ns well of tho revolu? tionary contest in 177G, tho war of 1812, and tho war of tho great tobellion. "A stranger reading our so-called na tional histories ia painfully impressed ! with the Lek of sincerity, moral courage, j niaguauimity and fidelity to truth, which they all evince. It soetns to be a natural ! incapacity cf tho American mind anti I character to write, and to appreciate i truthful history. Wo are too apt to up I ply to such narratives the santo test.' j which we employ in judging of public I men-they aro wiso, houest, truthful ami i great to tho extent they agreo and ncl with our party. Every man and {everj I act must bo viewed iu a party light. Nt ' good can como out of Israel ; uo mat can bo wise, hones', or great who doc not stand on our platform, or voto oui tickot. This is a spirit aud habit un worthy of Republicans. As long as il prevails tho national charucter eau uevei I attain that magnanimous dovelopmom which true republicanism demands. Dem agogism and partyism must form essen tial parts of tho only heroism and great ness that aro valued aud rewarded by om people. "Wo bavo at hand agood illustration o the purely partisan character of our his ; tories, aud of tho domination of polit I ?cul prejudices, in recording and estim?t ing events in tho late war. It is ofT?re( by ti writer, who claimed to bo tho uuthoi I of an authentic and reliable history o that war. Wo rofor to Horace Greeley I whose ponderous record of thc great re j hallion has boon received, and circulate* all through the North ns tho most anthea ; tic and veritable of histories. lu truth it is uothing but a campaign document a compound of fragrant errors and mis statements, which, umong a peoplo win loved truth moro than Plato or Socrates would bo burnt by the common hang man. How could it bo otherwise, whei j prompted and colored by tho prejudice I and passions of a violent partisan ?" REMOVING THE OAPITAII.-Tho conven I Hon in St. Louis for removing tho na II ional capital has boen organized. Hon ' Garret Davis, of Kontucky, said in i ; speech that ho did not believe it best fo j St. Louis to bavo tho capital. Mr. Jobi I Rogan, of St. Louis, said that as Con gross at last would have to do tho chang I ing, tho best way to do the job was t< 1 elect no Congressmen from tho Wes i who wero not iu favor of removal. Tho Ku Klux appear to bavo eiuigr.it cd North.

Sinco their near approach they appear to have lost their hom* ! aspect in the eyes of tho Northern presa Henry Cooper, tho successful couipeti tor of Androw Johnson for thoTeuncsse Senator;,hip, is described iu tho Louis ville Courier-Journal as a clever, modest good-looking and pleasant young man who has tho capability to make a gooi Senator, but who will pull no wire am spend no money to succeed.

A cor? respondent of tho Clarendon Press ex ? poses thc dishonesty of buying produce when there is a presumption that it is stolen.

I have used SIMMONS' LIVER REGULATOR, not only once, but often, aud cuu con? fidently assert it lins done mo moro good than any othor medicine I ever used. I think it is the greatest medicino for dis? eased liver, made in tho world. Many of my neighbors have used it, and all will say as much, if not moro, than I do, for its virtues. I shall nover lie without it. O 23+3 JOHN J. ALLEN, Bibb Co. PHYSICIANS USE THEM IN THEIR PRAC? TICE.-It is almost universally tho caso that physicians condemn what are gene rallyk nown ns "Patent Medicines." Al? though Du. TUTT'S LIVER PIEL IS NOT A PATENT MEDICINE, yet its composition (tho result of years of study) is known only to himself, nod so palpable aro their valuable curative properties, that very many of thc first physicians in thc South and West have adopted them in thoir practice, and recommend thom to their patients. 0236 A wonderful euro reported from Penn? sylvania with HEiNiTsn's QUEEN'S DE? LIGHT. A girl fifteen years of age, palo and sickly, emaciated, uo appetite, losing flesh, with soro eyes, sore mouth, and a gcnerul wasting away-nil owing to po i verty of blood. After using four bottles I of tho Queen's Delight, her appetite re I turned, digestion improved, increase in j growth nnd flesh, sores removed, skin I bright und clear, aud every indication of j au improved condition of her whole sys ! teni. This is ono of tho many cases we ! bear of tho wonderful results of Hcin \ itsb's Queen's Delight. Everywhere, North and South, wherever iutroduced, it is spoken of in tho highest terms. 019. GOOD ADVICE.-Let our possessions bo what they may-marble palaces, broad lands, magnificent pinto, or caskets of "precious stones"-they all sink in the bulunco against Heaven's groat boon, HEALTH, i ud they cannot bo enjoyed without it. And yet how little is it va? lued, aud how carelessly preserved. The laws of naturo cannot be violatod with impunity. Night revelry, luxurious liv? ing, irregularity of meals, and a disor? dered appetito, will gradually destroy tho power and activity of the .stomach. How many ladies and gentlemen eat and drink disease at lato suppers, and arise in tho morning with headache, loss of appetite, I feeding languid and unrefreshed. There can be no medical remody that will turn lead iuto food, or poisoned drinks into nutriment, but medical science can assisi nature, supply exhausted fluids, and toa great extent, correct the effects of dis? ease. In all cases such as tho above, wo recommend PLANTATION BITTERS. You will liud them just tho thing-at tho same time, a most delicious tonic and appetizer. MAGNOLIA WATER.-Superior to tho best imported German Cologne, and sold at half tho price. 023J3 THE SECRET OF BEAUTY lies in tho uso of Hagau'? MAGNOLIA BALM for tho com ! plcxion.
