COLUMBIA S C. Sunday Morning, Hovember 7, 1869, Tht Monnmcnt Sa tit? CaufcUerato Dead ?nd th? SnrTlvor?' AIMIIBUW. There are two things that reuin?n to bo dono in connection, with tho into Confed? erate struggle. Theten? .ia to raise a ..monument to the South Carolina dead in that cauBo;iifo other is.ip carry out the hiefcorroal- ?andr- ?abai itablo feat ur o embodied in tho proposed Snrvivora' Association. The one ia the work that ike women of South Carolina have pro? posed to theoisol vr? ; ' til o ' other remains Xor the men to carry dut. W? repeat what we hare always said-th nj, wd hope that both of these pro j oo (/i will be promptly consummated. We should seo to it that oar noble dead aro not neglected; we ohould see to it that the widows and orphans of deceased Confederates oro oared for. We should see to it, os due to the living as well as tho dead, that the troth of history be vindicated, so far at least es it concerns the spirit, motives and achievements bf those who obey od the call of their Sta to in the luto war between the States. We feel that we need say bot little ou this subject. -The two projeots to which wo are referring will commend themselves to every man and every, woman in whom dwells the genuino South Carolina feeling. We earnestly submit \ them twin enterprises to tho men and the women of the State. The ^Townthip Byitcm In South Caro rMn?' On this subject, thc New York World makes the following rom ark a, which wo commend to tho present law-makers in South Carolina: .'A rather noticeable meeting has just taken place in South Carolina. To ex? plain its object, it is necessary to pro? mise that, in the formation of the recon? structed constitution, a provision requir? ing the division of the State into 'townships' was |inserted. As directed by said constitution, the reconstructed Legislature passed, in 1869, an act to organizo townships and to defino their powers an.d privileges. ' Now, in recon? structed South Carolina, there is in oach county, or, to speak unreconstructedly, dittrict, a board of commissioners; and, on the 28th of July last, a convention of said .boards from tho several districts waa held at the State capital. In open? ing the prooeedings of this body, the ohairman thereof 'called the attention of the commissioner* to the impracticability of forming townships in Sooth Carolina similar to townships in the Northern States, becauso of the limited population of this State, and the country places being so sparsely settled, olearly showing that the parties who got up this 'town? ship bill'? had in contemplation n State of much larger population.' "On the presentation of this view of the case, the convention took into con? sideration the propriety of memorializing the Legislature as to 'the necessity of postponing the organization of town ships for a period of ten years ab least,' and, pending the final disposition uf this question, adjourned to meet, as ?tuted, to-day at Columbia. Now, in itself, this small matter of the regulation of coun? ties in a single State is not much, bat it happens to point very well a moral of general application. That moral is this: that rules of tho most approved accept? ance as concern some of the Northern States, and particularly those makiug up New England, are entirely ont of piuco as regards the Southern States. The sch ool-sys Um, for inst? nco, of New England, as we took occasion soma time since to show, is impracticable in the South, and impractical,lt: not because of a general aversion to education and bar? barism, as was thundered from .every stump iu abolition times, but merely and simply because the common-school sys? tem of Now England is only adapted to thickly sottled communities, and the States of the South ure, and always have been, sparsoly peopled. Similarly, we called attention to tho fact that tba 'big plantation system,' once tho thenio of such virulent abuse, was now daily ap? proving itself as the only stylo of agri? culture fitted for a rioh country with few inhabitants. As tho virgin Weat is brought under cultivation, we find farms of from five to ten thousand acres by no means exceptional; and even Mr. Gree? ley, who once rode the 'big pluntutiou' argument without mercy and was ull for j small farms, now comes out to say that perhaps a thousand acres is about" right. "Just as time brings its revenges, we find, too, that it thus brings its passion? less, exact verdicts, pronouncing thc old abolition arguments of 'big plantations' and 'no commou schools,' alike guilty of a grievous and terrible discordance with truth. This South Carolina County Commissioners' Convention is but an? other proof to tho same cud. First, it shows tho villainous absurdity of aliens framing a constitution for homo gover? nance; and second, it strongly exhibits the fallacy of attempting, iu tho matter of local divisions, to model South Caro? lina on Massachusetts rules. What is true and good and approved in (ho Bay Stato is shown, in tho language of this very carpet-bag chairmau of tho Caro? lina commissioners, to bo nu '/impracti? cability* in tho Palmetto State. As thc proverb says, 'what is ono man's meat is another man's poison,' and, ns variety is the spice of life, so local self-govern? ment for States, and not ono iron uni? formity, is tho only safo, agreeable and business Uko rule. It is said that Mr. Buckley, whose child was drowned on Sullivan's Isht"J a few days ago, has lost thr by drowning.

YOUNG MAN. Correction. MK. EDITOR: In tho article which you hud tho kindness lo publish, yesterday, I was made to 6ny "somo of tho Profes? sors demaudod the instant withdrawal of tho students." It should have rend, "Some of tho press." A Snrt Comedy. We are not of those who find only food for mirth in the disgraceful conduct and unseemly behavior now too common at the meetings of our City Gounoil. From tho very Bret days of their term, Aldermen have mado themselves conspic? uous by their rowdyism and indecency. Tho gravest accusations were bandied about; ono Alderman branded another as a liar; H third challenged tho whole Council to a general scrimmage; charges of corruption, peculation and nepotism wero on everv-day affair. Ana so the government of the city was carried on each Alderman improving his opportuni? ties, and widening hit shoulders, like tho civic streets, "at the expenso of the cor-1 poration"-until the pistol, already talked J of, was actually brought to light, and tho walls of the Council Chamber were de? faced and scarred by bullets fired by one infuriate radical magnate at the head of a brother Alderman. This crowning picco of blackguardism led to the meeting held on Thursday night During the meeting, tho Aldermen who had before made themselves notorious broke loose from all restraint. Alderman T. J. Mackey threatened "to strip every mask from the corrupt body" of Alderman Geddings, who is, we know, a respectable conservativo citizen. The same Alder? man said he was prepared to prove that several Aldermen had been bribed, and had strom to convict him and expel him for shooting at his aldermanic nephew. Alderman Collins declared that a witness who was pat on the stand had sworn to "a damnable and atrocious lio." Another Alderman retorted that the moral char? acter of Alderman Collins was so low that ono hundred and fifty merchants of this city certified that "he was unfit to hold an o iii co under tho United States Government," which does not, wo know, pay much attention to pure ethics in selecting partisan officials. Collector Clark, a witness of the scene, stung by what waa said of him, denounced Alder? man T. J. Mackey as "a liar," who re? joined by saying that Clurk "wns so well known in the community as a thief that it was not necessary to answer him." Then carno the turu of Alderman Barrow, who was charged with receiving a bribe to vote against tho accused. Alderman Barrow jumped up, saying: "I am ready to provo, before Almighty God, that this charge against me is one of the damndest lies ever uttered." Tho Council were soon after abused by wholesale, and styled, in the chaste language of Alder? man T. J. Mackey, "villains, miserable thieves, robbers, polygamists, perjurers, forgers." Tho two Mackeys resigned, their resignations were accepted, and the Council adjourned. The audience, gathered together to behold what wus fun for them, laughed and clapped their h ands and stamped with their feet us the Aldermen lunged and thrust at each other. As the din became moro deafen? ing, the audience chuckled and shouted the more. As tho Spurtans bade their children witness the antics of their drunken slaves to wean them from even a leaning to intemperance, so might tho respectable citizens of Charleston send their boys to our Council chamber, that there might grow with their growth, aud strengthen with their strength, a fixed bato of tho rottenness and beastliness of South Carolina radicalism. As wo havo said, the conduct of tho City Council fills us not even with a grim pleasure," but with regret and alarm. Wo havo had one year of this radical city government, and iu that year tho city spent Slo8,000 more than it actually earned. In tho Mayor, no man has confidence. Tho few Aldermen who are decent and upright havo had no power to check the waste and the profli? gacy, tho vituperation and abuse. And what is our condition? A city of forty ! thousand inhabitants, with twenty mil? lions of real estate, with a debt of five I millions, ruled by a majority who com I bine all tho worst qualities of the fool and the knave, the dolt and thc uhrowd politician. Wo do not speak of this as a political question. These aldermanic rowdies nrr? judged by us and by tho public, not as members of a politicul party, butas men. Aud wo oppose them, and ever will oppose thom, not because they aro radi? cals, but beeauso they are doing their best to destroy tho city, and with it every honest citizen.-Charleston News.

There was baked fish, stewed fish, and fish in every style; besides et ceteras ad libitum. A quiet and orderly set of gentlemen were present-many old citizens, who seldom participate in an affair of the kind; but, from the fact that the senior of the Columbia branch of the concern is an old resident, well known, and has been satisfactorily tested for years, it was universally determined that an exception should be made. If ono were were to judgo of the "will bo" from the "has been," the verdict will be "all right" in this particular instance. MAO.
