COLUMBIA. S. C. ^ednoslvy Morning jTMocmber 1,1869. VIM Chang? mt Baa?. The message of Gov. Scott shows him not unacquainted with military tactics, if ho is ignorant of the olassios, aa illus? trated la his pronouncing Severas a "colored freedman;" We say that he ahowa au acquaintance with tactics not "Scott's" alone, bat Scott and Kitnpton's. Oar military readers know of the: movement called "ohange front forward'* and ? 'change front to the reard? on this company or that oompany-right ; in front of, left in front. This is the movement that the General executes. Heretofore the Blue Ridge Railroad, waa the special pot of the Executive. By the' completion of this great work, the Governor was to immortalize himself, and visions of an epitaph like this, after dcsib, doubtless came before his eyes: "JJSere lies one ioho built the Blue Ridge Railroad and opened thc Columbia Canal." But this programme, to say the least, is now held in abeyance. The Genersl ohangos front forward or rear on the Blue Ridge Company. There aro two objects whioh the Governor probably has in view. For, depend npon it, there is an object in view. We aro not so weak as to attribute the Executive notion to patriotic motives. If disposed to bo patriotic, his servility to his party and to those who nse him, will not permit it. We have said that there are two conside? rations which probably influenced the Exeontive change of base. The ono is indicated in the proposition already in? troduced in the House and Senate, to issue bonds to the extent of $2,000,000 to provide lands for the freedmen. In order to do this-in order to yield to this sentiment-tho Governor gives up tho Bine Ridge for the Black Ridge. Doubtless he says to himself: "One at u time, gentlemen." Those who are con? gratulating themselves upon the thought that the State is saved from tho Blue Ridge expenses* will find that tho public funds and credit are not saved-they are only to be diverted into another channel. What the State gains on the Blue Ridge, she will loso on the Black Ridge. Another consideration that no doubt in? fluenced Geo. Scott, hinges upon the market price of the State securities. It is said-.that he is largely interested in these. Wo havo ourselves been told that when these seouritits were low down in the market, that he invested largely in them. Now, the proposition to aid the Blue. Ridge Railroad and other rail? roads, was calculated to depreciate tho market value of these securities. Hence the- question might naturally rise with Messrs. Scott, Kimpton nnd the inner ring: shall, the Blue Ridge go up and tho State 'securities go down? Or shall the State securities go up, or tho Blue Ridge go down? It was a question of simple comparison. It was no doubt de? cided that the Stato securities should be sustained-hence, for these reasons, and doubtless other reason s-so mo looking to other ends-we find a change of baso on the railroad question in the Executive message. We have but to lament that deplorable state of affairs, when public policies aro regulated so much by private interests, which, to a considerable extent, we are constrained to believe is in this iustance the truthful case. Spain In Danger-The Resolutions ot the Colored Assistant Adjutunt-Gcneral. It seems that the soul of Elliott is up in arms. He comes to the aid of tho Ge? neral Government. With "tho last dol? lar and the lost man," he pledges South Carolina to tho General Government if "grim-visaged war" shall show and not smooth "its wrinkled front." With ac? customed vim and with the heavy artil? lery of words, he strikes a blow at Spaiu, "the slave:driver of nations." We can imagine how tho back-bone of General Grant will stiffen, as ho reads of Elliott's move I How tho nerves of Secretary Fish will grow firm-for not yet is it forgotten that "the colored troops fought nobly." Weean imagine, too, how stricken Prim will foel, and how C?spedes, Quesada nnd Jordan will exult. The Assistant Adjutant-General is on the war-path. He wants a now depnrturo taken. As for ourselves, wo confess a strong partiality for tho cause of Cuba, and if this cause can furnish occasion for tho escape in this direction of radicul steam, we shall hare occasion to bless it more than over. South Carolina radicalism is growing military in ita aspirations-for Elliott leads. To civil performances iu legisla? tion, it waubs to add military eclat. "On with the dance 1" Let the war bo carried into-Cuba. The Spanish Don is the mau. Strike at him. ? 4 a a It seems that Grant's entertainers iu Pennsylvania had to pay sixty dollars to prevent tho serving of a warrant upon their guests for catching trout of a Sun? day.

EUITOU: lu a recent issuo of tho PUONIX, you took occasion to review tho condition of things in this seotiou, and alluded to tho speech of Mr. Congress? man H?ge. That speech was a most in? flammatory ono, and bad no other ten? dency than to create trouble. But there was ono good thing about that speech yon did not tell. When Hogo was in? terrogated by a citizen ns to tho value in monoy of a full hand, he curtly replied in such a way as to inflame his sabio au? ditory. Tho citizen left tho house; some ouo cried out arrest that mau. This was tho ignition of thc match. Tho crowd of negroes present rushed to tho door, cryiug arrest him, kill him, hang him, Seo. This frightened the distinguished orator so much that ho took to flight, and was subsequently found behind tho door, in the jury room, biting bis nails aud trembling in his shoes, as if he wore the culprit about tobe impaled. Really, this fellow H?ge does some right good things occasionally. ABBEVILLE. -?-?*-? "I am strong and healthy, yet to pre ! serve my good condition," I use Sono I MON'S BITTKKS.

Tho Opinion Nationale states that Trop mann, the assassin of the Kinck family, has made a full confession of his crimea. He had, he says, no accomplices. The elder Kinck ho killed on a plain near Genbwiller on the 25th of August, and the spot whore the body ia buried be mi? nutely described. The younger Kinck he murdered at Pautin two dayB before the rest of the family. Madame Kinck and one of her children straggled very muoh. A little girl nine years old was out? raged by a man named SchepmonB, noar ] Ellenville, Ulster County, N. Y., on Sa? turday evening. She was found by her father and his neighbors ?bout mid? night, terribly mutilated, but still living. On Sunday, the news reached Ellenville, and divine services in the churches was stopped to enable the enraged oitizens to hunt the villain. He was finally captured, confessed the crime, and on Tuesday was sentenced to fifteen years iu the State Prison at Sing Sing. The refinement of ogjielty ia the habit so many people bavo of lockiug little children in a house to play with matches, going viaitiug and returning to warm their feet by a smouldering ash-heap, and trying to cool the charred remains of their little ones with hot tears. Only seven? teen cuses of thia kind reported KO far this month, says Pomeroy's Democrat. Two cousins, both of the same mime, James Ii. Gamble, and both near thu samo age, thirty-three, died near Fayette? ville, Ind., ono on tho 17th and the other on tho 19th instant. They wero both cripples, and both dentista.
