' ? ! ll J! Ml ii ?J . ,['^Sf?eaBa COLUMBIA, S. <& Thursday Horn inp, November IB, 1869. Ttl* Policy Political Mr th c Howth. When our Government was first es? tablished, the twp statesmen that wero wost influential in impressing their views upon its policy, and in determining its character, were Hamilton and Jeffersou the one national and the other State rights. In ofter years Webster and Cal houn-master spirits, took np tho role that had been played by Hamilton and Jefferson-Webster, national, and Cal? houn,. State rights. Between thcso con? flicting forces the Government moved on, and tho country prospered. Mr. Wob .. toter seemed to regard the Federal Gov? ernment as a central san, to shine npou the States as lesser lights. Mr. Calhoun looked upon the States as brilliant, com? manding lights, to throw their radiance anon the common Government as a light of less importance in the system. Both of these men were great in their montai power, and greater still in their ardent patriotism. In their views they differed, aa great minds will differ, but they wero one in the effort to promote tho grandeur of a common country. Mr. Webster's theory of tho Government lives in his grand? solemn; and stately speeches; Mr. Calhoun's in a compact work that reflects his logic and his prophetic ken. Let any one, as we havo carefully dono, closely analyze CALHOUN'S DISCOURSE ON TELE GOVERNMENT AND CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES, and it will be found a master-piece of compact reasoning, with very few flaws; and it will be found further, to present a system of govern? ment calculated to seouro individual lib? erty with national expansion, and to pro sent to the world the spectacle of nu? mer?os self-governing States, rcvolviug with regularity around tho common cen? tre. He sought to secure, in a genuine sense, union e pluribus. He desired to have these great States that form the American Union "distinct ns tho billows, yet ono ns the sea." But Mr. Calhoun was ahead of his times. Tho world in not yot ready for his system. This coun? try cannot receive him now. The pro? phet is without honor. Nor porhaps, cac Mr. Calhoun's system ever fully prevail, until we have a community of Calhouns, in whioh to pat tho s?beme into operation. For a long time, Mr. Calhouu's views struggled for life. At last, in tho wai between tho States, the eword of powci was raised, and a triumph was vouch safed to the school of tho nationalists, The sword proved mightior than tho lo gician's pen, and a triumph has beet vouchsafed to tho disciples of Hamiltoi and Webster. State rights aro fast beinj swallowed ap in tho seething waters o tho vortex of consolidation, and a ceu tralized Government attesta tho succ?s of the adherents of tho national school What, now, is our duty? We mean tb duty of those who believe iu tho Stat rights theory of the Government? Wi deem it plain. It is not to forego ever; reasonable and seasonable effort to briuj the Government back to its proper sphere Bot this is not nil of our duty. No here iu a progressive country-not her os working men-can we stop. Wo mus accept tho inevitable. If the flag o State rights has gone down, wo mus upraise- it when we can. Bat, in th meantime, we must enter tho field, nu even under national ensigns wo mus seek thu advancement of our ?State un the prosperity of a commou country. W must take the field, and uniting wit men akin to us in political views, Korti: South, East and West, wo must seek t win the honors and enjoy the benefits c the Government. No policy that kcer. South Carolina in the cold will avail m The South has grown poor and th North has grown rich-compar?t i vcl speaking-because the North hus hithoj to enjoyed the Government, nnd we hav paid the expenses. The taxes drawn f roi the Sooth havo been disbursed at tl North, and thus, ander tho unequal fisc; action of the Government, the North gre rich and the South remained poor. I this way was forged tho sword that coi quered Lee at Appomattox. Let us seel men of tho South, to chango all this. \S have the elements ol a frc;,! cn>? ?vo i our section. We have tho men ami tl resources that go to form a great ar living power. Lot us in tho Union soc to moko good oar claim to influence at to a share of the common profits.

If the public money is bo spent, let it flow from the coffers Washington South as well as Nort Bnt to accomplish this, we must be inti cntial in tho Government. We mc havo able men to represent us in Co gross. Bot to do this, we must enga aotively in the political straggle for oe trol of the Government.

MP o UTA NT RAILROAD MEETING. -In accordance with previous announcement, a meeting of the friends of the extension of the Spartanbnrg and Union Railroad to Asheville, North Carolina, was held ia tho Court House on Tuesday night, the 10th instant. Delegations from Charles? ton, Columbia, Union and Asheville, North Carolina, were present. On mo? tion, Col. Gago, of Union, was mado chairman of the meeting, and R. W. Shand, secretary. Tho chairman briefly explained tho object of the meeting, after which lettors from Asheville and Columbus, North Carolina, wero read, expressivo of tho deep interest felt by the people of West? ern North Carolina in the extension of tho Spartanbnrg and Union Railroad, and appointing delegates to attood tho meeting in Spartanbnrg. By request, Col. Blake, of Ashoville, made some interesting remarks in rela? tion to the enterprise, showing that there aro but two gaps to bo provided for to mako the connection between Louisville and Charleston complote. Tho ono be? tween Morristown and Cumberland Gap -forty miles-is already partially pro? vided for, leaving only tho gap between Spartanburg and Asheville-seventy miles-to be built. Au extract from a letter, written by Col. Fink, Superin? tendent of the Lonisvillo and Nashville Road, was read, in which tho writer ex? pressed tho liveliest interest in this ex? tension, which, if built, would influence tho building of n branch of the Louis? ville and Nashville Railroad to Cumber? land Gap. Mr. Jeter, President of Spartanbnrg and Union Railroad, being called upon, mado a long and interesting speech, iu which ha proposed a plan to remove the present indebtedness of the Spartanbnrg I aud Union Railroad, and then mortgage tho road to .secure and to complete tho extousion. Dr. Winsmith then made some very interesting remarks as to the great bene? fit this extension will provo to the State ut large, nnd advocated applying to thc Legislature for State aid. Dr. Yundi vcr, in n few interesting and j amusing remarks, advocated immediate action, offering the enterprise a sub? scription of land. On motion of Colonel Cannon, our members of tbe Legislature were request? ed to act as a committee, ?iud the direc ? tion wero authorized to appoint a com j mittco to co-operuto with them in an 1 endeavor lo secure State aid for tho coin - i pletion of this enterprise.

We had a visit yesterdny from Mr. Ed? uard Zimmermann, a native of Moscow, Russia, who is on a visit to the South to obtain information in regard to the work? ing of our great social problems. Ho is the correspondent of several Russian pa? pers. It will bo remembered by many of our reoders that the abolition of serf? dom in Russia was nearly syncronous witii that of slavery in America, aud it is surprising how nearly parallel, and almost identical, the difficulties and prob? lems that have urisen in consequence; especially when wc cousider tho differ? ence of race and of political institutions in the two cases. Mr. Zimmermann was in this conntry eleven years ago, aud now revisits it to seo what changes havo been wrought by the war. Ho has a passion for traveling, and has been almost everywhere. Ho speaks but little Eng? lish, French somewhat better, but is quito nt homo in German.-Charleston Courier.

The New York Sun, of tho otb, is re? sponsible for tho following: Among the prisoners arraigned for trial in tho Court of Special Sessions, yesterday, was ono James Morso, more familiarly known to the authorities as John Millor. Ho was accused of steal? ing a few yards of flannel from a store in Broadway, and through his counsel, A. J. Au demon, Esq., pleaded gnilty to the charge and threw himself upon tito meroy of the Coart. Tho mau bore the appearance of ono who lind had a hard lifo of it. His blaok eyes woro deeply sunken. He was very pale, looked hag? gard and completely worn out. Upon Iiis faco was indelibly stamped that sad, sorrowful, disappointed look, which be? longs to tho old criminal when bo sees he must bow to his fate, as he stands before an earthly tribunal for the Inst time, to bo sentenced ouco more, and then to dio, whero he hus lived, in n felon's coll. The history of John Miller would fill a volnmo. Ho was born in Sootland, and carno to this city sixteen years ago, a first doss burglar in every respoct. Before taking his leave of tho old coun? try, ho had already distinguished himself by three successful burglaries, which yielded him ?10,000. The polico of Edingurgh regarded bim ns tho most skillful criminal in Scotland. When only sixteen years of age, ho was sentenced to a short term of imprisonment in tho Edinburgh Work-house. Tho reverso of fortune made him shift his quarters. Loudon was next selectod as his field of operations. For a wholo year, ho lived and thrived by his burglaries. His last exploit, before his departure, was blowing open a banker's safe, nnd abstracting money enough to pay his ex j penses across tho Atlantic. With a few thousand dollars in his pocket, ho reach? ed our hospitable shores, in company with three other professional English burglars. He made plans of tho vaults of tho Bank of England, before leaving, with an intention of overhauling their contents, but tho closo scrutiny of the London police compelled him to forego his design. Once in this city, ho began operations immediately. Ho m nd o his itebui hy breaking into tho atoro on tho North? west corner of Duanoand Church streets, and stealing SlO.OUO in silks and ?5,000 j in coin. A few tinja after this burglary, | ho again visited the store, broko open 1 tho safe, and ?10,000 moro fell iuto his! grasp. The boldness of this last exploit I produced a great sensation in tho metro? polis. Tho detectives could obtain no clue to tho perpetrator. A vigilant watch was maintained over tho promises for a few weeks, during which time, Mr. Mil? ler, who was rapidly becoming initiated int?) our customs, visited three or four other stores, and carried off a few hun? dred dollars. When the watch over the Church street i property was relaxed, Mr. Miller thought lio would again try his hand at the safo which had yield sd him such a rich har? vest. He watched tho place for a few days, and at hist, ono stormy night, ho set out, well equipped with all tho para? phernalia of a burglar, and in tho com? pany of a dear "pal." He easily effected au entrance into tho store, nnd made his way tc tho safo. Ho had not proceeded far with bis work, boforo tho uhirm was given. Tho bird was caged. Notwith? standing the fact that ho was n wealthy man, ho was speedily tried, convicted, and sentenced to tho State Prison for fivo years. Our criminal courts admi? nistered justico in those days, and were not in tho hands of abandoned politi? cians. Mr. Millor and his pal, who was no other thau tho notorious burglar Chaun? cey Johnson, alias Dntch Heinrich, niter sentence, were locked up together in a cell on tho second tior, facing tho yard of tho prison. On tho night beforo ho was to bo transferred to Sing Sing, Mil? ler broko through tho wall, four feet and n hall" in thickness, with tho fork ho had used nt his supper. Ho was at that time suffering from bronchial consumption, u discaso which has always nffeotod him, and will shortly terminate his oareer. Both burglars jumped down into the yard, whero they woro received by tho watch dogs of tho prison, who raised nu alarm. Knowing that thoy lind no time to lose, thoy quickly ran up a small stair-caso which, at that time, led np to tho court? room of tho apecial sessions, sawed off thc iron window bars, and sprang across tho court-room. Tho only obstacle now in their way, was an old wooden door, which yielded to their efforts in a twink? ling. Ouco under tho dismal columns that front on Centro street, no time was lost in getting away. Johnson, being tho moro robust and athletic of the two, leaped over the iron railing and fled. Miller was less fortunate. His malady had made him weak. Jost as he gained the street, ni moat ?rhansted bj Eis la? bors, a night watohman arrested him. The next day, ha was removed to Sing Sing Prison, whero he served his fall term. Millor is the only man who ever broke out of tho Tombs. Five years' imprisonment did not re? form Miller. No sooner did he roturo, than IM began nerida of daring burglaries, tb? like of whioh bod never been heard of io thia city. Ho would break into a atore on Weat streofc one night, p.nd tb? next night South or Canal street would ba visited. Information was conveyed to bim, ?boat thia time, that a large shipping boase on Front street had received a heavy remittance of gold coin from the West Indies. Miller summoned unto him his confidential friends, John Brown, Tim Sullivan and Skinner. The lutter, who waa what is called, in tho slang of burglars, a "stow-away," secreted him? self in the store daring the day-time. When evening onme, Skinner opened tho door to his friends and admitted them. Miller nt once assumed command. Ile had the safo placed upon its bnck, the fuse was applied, and tho patent look flow open. To their surprise, ouly $185 in silver was found. At this juncture, Brown fancied he henrd an alarm sound? ed without. He rushed out just ia timo to have a struggle with the night watch? man, kaook him down nud escape. Sul? livan and Skinner followed, but poor Miller, thanks to his bronchial con? sumption, was agnin captured. He offer? ed tho officer his gold watch, worth $800, and ?500 in money, to let him go. The bribo wns refused and the burglar wus mnrobed to prison. His friend.Sullivan had tue impudence to bo present at the examination next morning, and as he had often boon seen in tho company of Miller, he, too, was arrested on suspicion. Both wero tried at tho onsning term of tho Court of Oyer and Terminer, and sentenced to the Sing Sing Prison for the full term-five years. Miller, through some means or other, ma? naged to get out before the expiration of his sentence. Ile only remained in tho city a short timi*, just long enough to rais? a little mouey to pay Iiis expenses out West. For some days after his re? turn from tho State Prison, ho loafed around a well known bunk in Oreen wich street, and kept au eye ou all that was going on. One day ho sow a lady dressed in deep mourning descend from n carriage which waa well loaded with trunks. Our hero instantly mndo up bis miud that the lady was going ou a long journey, nud came to replenish her purso. lie fol? lowed into tho bank. Miller was not mistaken, for tho lady informed tho cashier of the bank that she was going to Europe, and presented n check for ten ! thousand dollars. Tho money was couut od out to her and she left. When abo reached the carriage, a gentleman, with a pen behind his ear, accosted her mid saul that ho was a clerk in tho bank, that some mistake had beon rnadoin counting the mouey, aad that shu must givo it to him to bo re-counted. The lady, not suspecting anything, complied with the bank clerk's request, and handed him the package of bills,^adding that she had Dot touched it hinco BIIO received it. The bank clerk left. Tiru lotty wai+ed, ~aud she still waits. Tho bank clerk was, of ! course, no other than our friend Miller, who wont in one door and out another, ten thousand dollars in pocket. That night be decamped and begau u tour of tho Western cities. Tho presence of Mr. Miller at auy placo was always attended with a heavy burglary. Some? times Miller was caught and loilged in jail, but next morning, when tho jailer carno around to givo bis prisoner break? fast, tho bird was flown. Only twice did he return to tho scene of Ilia former triumphs. The first timo ho carno to answer to a Miuiinous from his old friend Chnuusey Johnson, who contemplated a raid on a . Broadway bank, and needed his indis- I pensable services. Miller inspected tho ' premises, and when all tho arrangements wore completed, tho vault of the bank was broken into and tho snug little sum of 8100,000 abstracted therefrom. With a generosity really marvelous, they sur? rendered tho money fora reward of $'25, 000, being assured by tho polico that they would not bo prosecuted. This was Miller's lust appearance but oue in New York. Ho shortly after left, and after wan? dering around for some time, breaking i uto stores and banks, and breaking out of all tho jails, he finally settled down in Philadelphia. Ho refrained from busi uoss for awhiio, but haviug gambled away all his money, and bciug reduced to want, ho again took up tho jimmy. Ho was successful two or three times, but he was uo longer the same dashing, skillful burglar of his youth. Ho soou carno to grief, and found himself sccuro iu Moyamonsing Prison. Ho was turned looso onco moro two weeks ago. Tho rough handling ho received ia Philadel? phia disgusted him with tho Quaker City, ami ho made his way to this, tho city of thieves. The last aot ia tho drama was played yesterday in the Court of Speoial Ses? sions, as abovo stated. We forgot to mention that after his escape from the Tombs, tho little stairs leading up the court-room from the yard over which he escaped, was removed, and tho "Bridge of Sighs," overgwhich he crossed over to his cell yesterday, was constructed. There is one redeeming featuro about this remarkable criminal. Ho never broko into a dwelling house, or assaulted anybody. Ho confined his operations strictly to banks and stores. Ho be? longed to that limited class of transgres? sors who rodace bnrglary and jail break? ing to a science. lu his younger days he scorned to "go" for a prize loss than $1,000. Yesterday, iu bib old ago, after having stolen over SI,000,000, he was non to need to tho penitentiary for pur? loining a few yards of flannel, worth $8, from a dry goods store. He cannot live above six months, and will probably not live oat his sentence. A man and bia wife stopped at a St. Louis hotel, where codfish balla were legal tender.

Their organs rank highest, not only in this country, bnt also in Enrope, where tho demand for them is rapidly increas? ing. This remarkable success is un? doubtedly owing greatly to their superior skill in this speciality and to tho very important improvements they have ef? fected in this class of instruments; but it is the result, almost in equal measure, perhaps, of adherence to, and energetic pursuit of cortnio principles. Inflexible rules with them aro (1) to do the very best work only, availing themselves of every improvement, and being careful to suffer no inferior instrument to leave their factory; aud (2) to sell always at smallest remunerative profits, having fixed prices which aro alike to all.
