COLUMBIA, S. C. Sunday Mominjc, January 16,1870. LET a00JJ MEN RALLY EVERT WHERE. Wo will not seek to disguise tho foot that great perils surround us in this country. Tho republic is in danger, Open attucks are now made upon the constitution, and the safe-guards of State right? aud individual liberty are assaulted with persistency aud vigor. The party iu power has exhibited and continues to exhibit an utter disregard of tho limitations of the fundamental law. As the New Y,ork Journal of Com? merce says: "The very foundations of our free institutions are rocking beneath the onset, and the crisis will ere long be roached." Nor is this all. What is far worse, there seems to exist on the part of good men a strange indifference and apathy as to the political situation of the country. Submission seems to be the order of the day. The most enormous outrages are submitted to, and the foulest corruption passes unrebuked. At ( 'ongross and in tiro States bad men role and good men stand powerless. Yet we do not despair. Not yet have we lo?t raith in the great body or the people. A rovnlsiou of feeling muBt take place, and tho nation will surely be recalled to its senses. As for ourselves, come what may, wo iutend to strike for the rght, us wo understand it. Our journalism shall be based upou oiu' convictions and our sonso of duty, and we shall move steadily on lo the redemption of the country; or, at least, to tho point where that redemption is, in our judgment, to bo found. Now, as before, we urge our people to work and to fidelity. "There can be no national prosperity, or public virtue, without individual thrift and personal rectitude." To thrift and rectitude then let men adhere. We want here and elsewhere, a cheap government, wise laws and an intelligent and honest set of officials. To accomplish this, let good men rally. Let them rally here, and let those who are disgracing their places bo swept from power. Let no niau despair of tho country. We can have a country-an ocean bound repub? lic-of which all may be proud. Let no mun despair of the State. We do not I ' intend to give her up, and he is a de- ' geucratc sou of South Carolina, who, in j j his heart of hearts, does not treasure the ? indomitable resolve to make this State'1 once again a State worthy of the devo? tion of a virtuous aud an intelligent population. I i Tho income tax expires, by limitation, 11 iu the spring of tho present year; but j 1 Corn missioner Delano is either not aware j j of the fact, or is determined that the tux shall still be colleoted, in spite of the limitation. This is shown by his order, recently issued, for the printing of more than seventeen tons of income return blanks -enough, as ono of Mr. Delano's party organs declares, to plaster the country from Maine to Alaska, and to on doing it for the next twenty years. Tin, JihUl |U?Ulsj-theghiladol- r phia Inquire* -very justly says that this income tux abomination is the most fruitful source of fraud ever devised. lt is unfair. It is a direct provocation of perjury, lt is levied upon the few, at tho expenso of the whole. It creates spies on tho most confidential business transactions and maintains them at tho public cost, it is carelessly assessed, partially collected, and occasions national demoralization more than any scheme of Luxation extant. The men who framed it were, from the first, ashamed of it. They acted in extraordinary times, which demanded extraordinary measures. Among these measures, were suspension of tiie habeas corpus, trials by court murtiul, Mr. Seward's "little bell," sud the income tax. One and all, they were war measures; and, though they were, alike, distasteful to a free people, they were submitted to, while the necessity for their existence lasted. From the very nature of this tax, no man need pay it who does not incline to be honest; consequently, tho honesty of tho nation is compelled to pay the taxes of disho? nest v. Again, tho revonne raised by it ! is insignificant and contemptible, in pro-? portion to tho harm it works. And, j again, there is no necessity for the assess- J ment of so obnoxious a tax. It may j suit tho ambition of an administration to soy: "We paid off, in a single year, or j month, or day, so many millions of the ! great war debt;" but, so long as tha holders of our obligations are satisfied I with receiving their interest regularly, I no ono wants tho debt to bo paid off at the rate of three or four dollars in a ' second of lime. The groat war debt wai taken up, chiefly, by foreigners, who nought at about sixty, or less, and they uro now being paid, post-haste, to tho ruin of the trade ofIrVe country, Ht :?;^ rato of ouo hundred. There are a num bor of taxes that tho present Cou graf 9 can afford to wipe ont, and tho first <'f theso is the inquisitorial income tux. In the telegraph war between tho oi ? raters aud tho Western Union lino, b>ih i ides romain obstinate; the strike toi Linnes; the company aud the meu <*,w.h fill a great deal of tho space of som > of tho newspapers with their explana' ions or complaints, but tho matter of interest to the public is that tho strike continues. So fur as the press ure concerned, the company has made especial efforts to .-ervo it with news, though it has had to strain every nerve to dose, with nlimitud loree timi nearly all night work, which is telt t.i hu a very i/reat inconvenience Speech ?f HOM. Joan Bright, st Blr- ! mingham, va Ir Uh A?T? i ry. BIBMINOHAM, J an ti nr y 10.-Tb o mem- j bera of Parliament from Birmingham i addressed their constituents, in tho town ball, to night. Mr. Bright, ou thin occa- \ nott, made his first appearance ou. a I platform sinoe his entrance into the ? Cabinet, and he met with an enthusias? tic reception from his townsmen. Mayor Primo presided, and Alderman otorgo moved a vote of thanks to thc ' ministers for their general policy, and ! Dspecially for their course in regard to the Irish Church. In a speech support log the resolutions, Alder mn n ?forge boped the government woald continue j the work of reform, and amend the Irish j laud laws, giva the ballot, reduce expen- j litares and diffuse education. Mr. Bright, on arising to address the meeting, waa vehemently cheered. He thanked his fellow-citizens for the reso- ! utions, conveying, as they did, an avowal j >f confidence in the government. He lelieved that at the end of the next ses- j don of Parliament, a similar vote would ie earned and received. He proposed no retrospect-he pre? ferred to look forward-yet he touched >n the law in regard to compounding j .ates, and alluded, also, to the disestab-1 ishment of the Irish Church. On the atter meaanre, he said his constituents lad spoken loud enough for all to hear ind all to understand. It waa one of the iompletest measures over presented to he House of Commons; but a difficulty ?ocurred in the place to which all, who [aa, go, when in London-the House of j -tords-a place of the greatest antiquity j .nd greatest influence. On this occa- i ion, there was more passion displayed han is generally seen there, bringing he occupants of benches to the edge of in ugly precipice. The passion, how iver, cooled-the wisest reflected-and, >fter mutual compliments and congratu ations, the bil! was passed by the Lords, vho thus admitted that no institution, j ?owever anoient, grand and historical, is .ie, if opposed to the convictions and | roice^ of the people. Considering the lonstitutional training of the peers, their rienda might well rejoice. Catholic grievances wer? extinguished-Irish prievancea only were left. Now, he iBked Parliament to do something for >ish non-Catholics and land reform. Che difficulties of the question appeared ormidablo, at a distance, but were easily ;urmountable, on approach. The state )f Ireland might be painted in few vords. The land had few owners, while ono lalf of the population were tenants at viii. The owners neglected to cultivate he soil, bat faithfully collected tho enta. The industry, home and life of he tenant are at his mercy, or that of lis agents. The owners are of the race is the occupiers of the soil. Tho only lifference between them is that of the treatment of the law of politics. The Catholio tenant and Protestant >wner might be friends and yet feel the mle. Irish proprietorship is really con Isoation, whioh is the result of conquest, md only justifiable as conquest. Ta this prong, penal laws have been added rostly greater ones. Parliament is called upon to give right to the tenants, but to suve the property of the owners. All would be right, ii the Irish woald be as eager for reform, if they were landlords, as if they were tenants. The reign of discord must be ?topped. 300,000 policemen and eoldien must be withdrawn from Ireland. Thc question was the hardest ever presentee to the people or Parliament. The go vernment was preparing measures o: reform. Serions popular considerador was invoked for them. There was nc party question respecting it, and a part] tight would be unpatriotic. Nearly four years ago, he had blamer Mr. Gladstone for the suspension of th? writ of habeas corpus. He had ala? blamed Mr. Disraeli for not introducing measures of amelioration. He knev that an unreformed Parliament mus refuse action, and therefore he press?e reform, wider franchise and free repre tentation. This was no class question. The will justice and power dwelling only in th nation could treat it. He believed, now that great results must follow reform Parliament can do as much for Ireland as Ireland, if independent, or un Amen can State, could do for herself. | Voices "no."] Ireland, now, bas churches un< schools, and soon will have free land and votes. Ireland is not wealthy, bu we can buy from her all she has to sel' and sell to her cheaper than can an other nation. Our plans of pacification may fail; hope nut. We propose u conquest ( Ireland without shedding any blooi Our only weapons will be frank an generous justice, potent to re-unito ni tions long separated by oppressive in gleet. [Loud cheers, j From this new policy great changes i Ireland may be anticipated. We Bba not make it Parudise lost but greatly in proved. He quoted the lines from Pot; commencing "Then crime shall cease, and added, no language like this is c: aggeration. If we can suppress conspiracy, banis agrarian crime, unbar prisons, rodin martial force, and make Ireland as trat qnil aa England or Scotland, Komethii: will be done to justify our statesmai ship. Yet education is still untouchci There, as hore, in less than three yea: there will be national education by gen ral consent. The ohildren of the poop moat be educated. Plans vary, son even proposing compulsion. Tho g vernment listens and learns from discu sion; religions difficulties vanish, HI nobility insists on enforcing creeds < dogmas on pnpils. If the governmei gives money, half of it, at least, mu go to the establishment, powerful b cause it is a unit. Besides, a vast body most in need teaching are of no Beet. These dif cult ?es will disappear before the cry i tho people for knowledge, and soon ur >,er.sal education will be the law. Tl speaker then tlisongttfij.- 'Ul O CO na marci treaty with France. Protection, he sal was an unpopular and malodorous WOT reciprocity was more palatable. Tl tories had three policies-ono for tl counties, one for Manchester or Birmin ham, and the third fdr the House Lords. The orator defended the treaty, pi Renting a variety of arguments ai illustrations. He admitted tho Fren tariff was higher than the Euglish, b tho difference was unimportant. Otb nations in Europe had adopted li measures, which were big with paci results. Uuder ten years of tho treal peace and confidence unknown boforel tween France and England had grot up. Mr. Cobden had proved to his ere that every step towards froo trade ii i1'ide towards universal peace. a Bright continued byan appeal and wai ing to tho workingmen nf Birrainghn Beware, he said, of men who oonfuse tho faith of tho poople. The govern? ment can clo many things, but there aro others which no power con do. "?ou have votes, and votes are power. It is probable that before another gene? ral election, every voter in the United Kingdom will have the shelter of tho j ballot. Our prospectivo policy, the speaker said, is but little, for the go vemment is unable to drive six stages abreast through Templo Bar. Tho edu? cational mensuro might come up at thc j coming session, but this wus uncertain. He! ren chi neut, if agitated, was sure, but j necessarily tedious if wrong is avoided. For free trade breakfast tables are a j Btrong advocate. He would bid all nations bring their wholesome products in free, but ho said this as a representa? tive, not as a minister. Free land, within ten years, would be the loading question. The alteration of the land luws, without diminishing any man's wealth, would do much to arrest pauper? ism. Tho speaker thou debated on tempo- ? raneo aud the social virtue?, wanting ! which society could have no benefit from legislation. It is only by tho combina Lion of a wiso government, with a virtu- 1 aus people, that we hope to mako some 3tep toward that blessed time whoo there < shall not bo longer complaining in our streets, when our garners shall be afford? ing all uianuer of store. Tho speech was frequently interrupted I by applause, and tho orator resumed his j seat amid great expressions of euthnsi- ? ism. George Dixon, M. P., for Birmingham, followed iu a few remarks. The meet- j inp: then adjourned. LONDON, January 12. -The Times, ot. this morning, in un editorial, applauds '..ho sentiments of Johu bright's speech it Birmingham yesterday. It agrees: (vith him in tho statement that thc Irish ? grievance is not a Catholic grievance, ind that Parliament should do ns much Tor Ireland as au independent monarchy i ar Irish republic, or as much as could be j lone if Ireland were ono of the States' sf tho Western confederation, Benefi- j lent legislation by tho government would lio a new conquest of I roland without : joufiseatiou, without blood-with, ns i Mr. Bright truly expresses it, tho only Itoly weapon of a frank and generous justice. The land question is tho most iifficnlt ever considered by au adminiu- | tration, too serious for mere party con- : rideration. ? Ministor Washburne recently informed | in American traveler at Paris that Em- 1 peror Napoleon was never stronger in power than he is now, and thoreforo has [ sufficient force to suppress any disturb- j anees. r----------; HOTICR. COLUMBIA, S. C., January, 1870. Tho Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Railroad Company having been formed j by the consolidation of thc Charlotte aud ; South Carolina and the Columbia and Augusta Railroad, and having executed a first and only mortgage on its eutiro property of 105 miles, including equip? ment, is now redeotniug all tho bonds ? formerly issued by said two companies by au exchange of its first mortgage 1 bonds. These bonds bear seven per1 cent, interest, payable in January and July, and are amply secured by a mort? gage on property which cost per mile more than three times the amount of bonds so issued. The present price of tho stock aud thc business of tho road give ample guaran? tee of the security of the obligations for a permanent investment. Indeed the opinion is freely expressed, that there is no safer bonds issued by any party or corporation in tho State, and they are cheerfully commended to capitalists as a safe investment.

Dec VI tin Bocal It oms. CRUMBS.-The summer weather con? tinues, althongh a little Tariable-a dash of cold occasionally. Yesterday we had a regular thunder andi lightning storm. President Harrison, of the Blue Ridge , Railroad, will accept o .ir thanks for an 1870 complimentary over his road. The ..cuckoo," presented by Mr. Sul7.bacher, attracts a great deal of admi? ration. It is a great ouriosity. We are to have another exhibition of monstrosities, during the present week, in Janney's Hall. Among the collection ia a striped individual, who so excited the sympathies of the loyaliste of Charles? ton, that he was seized and carried be? fore a magistrate-the charge being that the "striped" was held as a slave. Au investigation of the caso proved the charge unfounded, aud he was returned to tho exhibition room. Mr. Kinard wishes it understood that he is also offering his stock of winter goods at low rates. See his advertise? ment. There is to be a matorial change in the schedule of the Greenville and Colum ! bia Railroad, ou Wednesday next-the ! passenger train leaving Greenville at i 5.45 a. m., anil arriving in Columbia at j 3.45 p. ui. ? ANOTHER DIFFICULTY WITH THE POLICE. ; Last night, a little before 0 o'clock, fi ; white member of tho penitentiary guard, < while intoxicated, created a disturbance; i and it becoming neceeesary to arrest i him, two police oflioers took hold of him I aud attempted to carry him to the guard : houso; ho resisted uud culled on hie ! friends to assist bim, whereupon seme ol tho colored guard from the penitentiary rushed forward and attempted to release the prisoner. Chief Radcliffe appealer ' to the citizens present to assist him-ai j the peniteutiaryites declared they nnm , bored fifty meu aud would nut allow i their comrade to be carried to tho gnarr i house. Ono or two white and severa ! colored meu responded, and the dis J turber of the peace was carried off b; : the policemen, followed by a rabble, wb ' brick-batted and knocked down two o j thc officers. No fire-arms were used . although at one time the policemen wer i afraid that, in self-defence, they woul 1 bo forced to draw their pistols. Thes I interferences with tho police officers ar : becoming of frequent occurrence, am ' blood will yet be shed. Chief Ivadolifl returns his thanks to thc colored me who assisted the officers, as throug j their agency alono tho prisoner was su< cessfully lodged in the guard house. I ... THE RECENT DISTURBANCE IN SPAI TAN BU RU-DESTRUCTION OF STILLS.-O the 10th of this mouth, Mr. R. M. Wa luce, Deputy Collector of Internal Rev* nue in this city, was despatched to Spa tauburg County, for the purpose < investigating certain outrages, said 1 have been committed against A. 1 Turner, one of the Deputy Collectors f< I that County. Upon his arrival, heir I satisfied that the reports were true, 1 : organized a party, consisting of tl United States Deputy Marshal, thr United States Deputy Collectors, Sher Dewborry, and soveu United States s< j diers-all under the command of Capta 1 Summerfield, of the United States Arm ' They went to Turner's ueighborhoo j about tineen miles from the town. ( I the route, they found three stills ru ! niug iu violation of the United Stol 1 laws, which were destroyed-no o i coming forward to claim thom. A you man, named Humphries, who hud be i engaged in distilling, was arrested. So ; after leaving the locality of the stills, j armed baud of men appeared on t ' road, aud surrounded the officers, thre , eniug to attack and drive thom out the country. Mr. Wallace, Cupri j Summerfield and their party were fore ! to take possession of a citizen's hoi j and prepare to defend themselves, tho crowd, which had followed the j was soon increased by a large number men, armed witii rifles, pistols, ?fra, v demanded thu rcloase of Humphries a tho surrender of Turner, whom, tb ' asserted, they intended to kill. Caph j Summerfield ordered them not to co 1 near tho house, aud orders were given fire upon any persons attempting approach. The crowd kept cellecti and the most violent and abusive 1 j guage was used. A number of the u j appeared to bo under the influence I liquor. The mob declared that no i ; in the house should leave it ulive. ( ! lector Wallace, in order to save trout j and the shedding of blood, which m '? certainly have resulted, aa both par I were armed, surrendered Humphr upon condition that the rioters would 1 leave. This waa agreed to, and the I ; jority departed, bat a number romain ? supposing that Turner wonld also be a j ont. One of the soldiers, while on ! way from the house to the well, was a I at, bat received no injary. Two mi \ and a horse were shot. On the wa] ' the court house, theeofficera were hi? I booted at, and evefy'-diareapeci* 1 them. Marion Johnston, Andrew j Kelvy and John Cantrell were arre? j for illicit distilling. The difficulty i curred near the Cowpens battle-grot This is the substance of the staten . which Mr. Wallace has forwarded to ! department at Washington. It i high-handed proceeding, to say the 1 of it, and we sincerely regret bi forced to record such occurrences.

CATTURE OK A MONSTER CATHAN.-OD Fnday afternoon last, daring a hunting expedition in the swamps of the forks of Congaree and Wateree Rivers, Messrs. Belton Joyner, Low man, Blakely and Moye succeeded in capturing an alligator, which may be termed the king-in size at least-his weight being 650 pounds aud his length seventeen feet. He is very ferocious, and, with a snap of his immense tail, broke the leg of a colored boy, besides wounding several other per? sons, before he could be secured. The captors are entitled to the cognomen of the "Hunters of the Period," as they havo bagged the "alligator of the pe? riod." This monster would prove a valuable acquisition to any museum.
