COLUMBIA, 8. C. Sand ay Morn in?, Januaiy 30,1870. PREPARE FOR THE NEXT FA IR INDUSTRIAL ACTIVITY. We come before oar readers this morn? ing with a word in behalf of the next Agricultural and Mechanical Fair. Soon the premium list will appear. It will be found to invite competition in nearly erery branch of agriculture aird manu? factures. The workara on tho farm and in the work-shops, and in the arts in general, will find a field of generous ri? valry opened to them. With the co? operation of the good people of the State, the managers intend to seo to it that South Carolina shall not be in tho rear of the other States of the Union in these industrial exhibitions. These fairs be? long to this progressive age. They are designed to promote the inventive, crea? tive and productive powers of mon nud of women, and they deserve the amplest encouragement. Above all othor human duties rises in onr State the duty to de? velop material resources. Wo need the sinews of peace. We hope that our peo? ple will begin at once to keep an eye to the next fair. At the lost fair, in a spirit of g?nerons warmth, born of devo? tion to South Carolina, men came tor word to pledge their money and their aid to the Executive Committee. Let that spirit continuo to animate our people, and wo will plant the Agricultural and Mechanical Society on a firm foundation, and it will bo put in a condition to dis? pense its blessings to the cause of pro? gressive agriculture and progressive man? ufactures. Ho for the moving-the pro? gressive. SPEECH IS SIL VER, B UT SIL ENCE IS GOLD. Thus runs a German proverb. In matters military as well as political, tho proverb is eminently apropos. Shak speare threw out a similar idea, when ho put it in the mouth of one of his charac? ters to suggest that there were "some men so loose of soul, that in their sleep they mutter their affairs." It would be well for men and journals to bear in mind the proverb we have quoted. The anti radiealists in South Carolina have a seri? ous responsibility resting upon them. We regard it a vital matter to destroy the power, at least, of extreme radical? ism-of radicalism in its bitter, remorse? less features-of radicalism, such as is represented by Sumner, Butler, and the lesser lights-of radicalism, such as is built npon tho polioy of vengeance and hate. All forms of radicalism, wo op? pose; but radicalism, in its extreme fea? tures, we especially war against, Inas much, then, as so much depends upon the anti-radical portion of the voters of the State, it is important that thc cause of tho opposition shall not be weakened by premature moves and by unnecessary divisiou. Wo want concert of action, to begin with. Wo want, next, n programme based upon existing circumstances and holding out a rea.-souable prospect of success. We do not want to beat tho air. We want our blows, when they do fall, to fall thick and fast upon the loose joiuts of the enemy's armor. We want discre? tion-that better part of valor. We clo not want to announce a plan for the benefit of the political enemy. In this point, suggesting more than we have ex? pressed, to co-workers in a common cause, we throw out tho thought: "Speech is silver, but silence is gold." How WILL HE BE RECEIVED?-How will the negro United States Senator be received by his radical colleagues? That is a question we cannot help asking, it will not do for them to treat him as the radicals of the House did Mr. Me? nard, "the colored gemman from Louis? iana." He must not be crowded back into a dark corner, and compelled to crouch ou an unused sofa under tho gal? lery. The Hon. W. H. Revel ?3, accord? ing to radical doctrine, tho perfect equal and the full peer of Sumner, Simon Ca? meron or any other Senators. The radi? cals must act up to tho principles they profess. They must faco tho music man? fully. Revol [is an Ohioan-a carpet? bagger. That prevents him from being a proper representative of tho blacks of Mississippi; but it will not authorize thc radicals to treat him \vith[any disrespect. Let Sumucr open his arms to tho new? comer, and let him seo that there is no exhibition of "tho barbarism of casie" on tho Republican side of tho Senate. -!-4 ~? ? Tho Augusta Constitutionalist noticed ou Tuesday, iu the Goorgin Railroad yard, a couple of froight cars, from thc Richmond and Danville Railroad, ship? ped via tho Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Railroad, en route to Atlanta. These cars oro of 18,000 pounds capacity, and are mounted upon trucks to which have been applied "Tisdalo's patent ad? justable axlesj" susceptible of chango to suit thc various ganges ol tho roads from Richmond to their destination and be? yond-indeed, to any gauge of road over which they may be ruuning. Correspondence mt til? Pheonix. WASHINGTON, D. G., January 26, 1870. Virgin!* has lt last Mbeen admitted, and ia again ono of the State* of the Union. Although n?? admitted uncon? ditionally, still the friends ol tue Bing? ham bill contend that the Senate amend? ment does not materially affect it. The amendment provides, in substance, that no member of the Legislature or officer of State shall take his seat or enter npon his doties until he has filed, in the offioe of the Secretary of State of Virginia, the following oaths: "I do solemnly swear that I have never taken an oath as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State Legislature, or ns an executive officer of any State, to support the Con? stitution of the United States, and afterwards engaged in insurrection or rebellion against tho same, or gave aid or comfort to the enemies thereof-so help mo God." Or such person shall, in Uko manner, take, subscribe and file thc following oath: "I do solemnly swear that I have, by Act of Congress of tho United States, been relieved of the disa? bilities imposed upon me by tho four? teenth amendment of tho Constitution of tho United States-so help me God." It further provides that the Constitution of Virginia shall never be amended so as to deprive any citizen of tho right to vote who is entitled to vote by the Constitu? tion herein recognized, except for crime, .fcc, or to deprive any citizen of tho United States, on account of color or previous oondition, from holding office ander the constitution and laws of the State, or impose any qualification on him, for office, not imposed upon other citizens; and, farther, that the constitu? tion of Virginia shall never be amended or changed so as to deprive any citizen or class of citizens of the United States of tho school right and privilege secured by the constitution of said State. The friends of the original bill contend that these restrictions aro unconstitutional. They say that it is not in the province of the Congress of tho United States to impose conditions such as these, which could not be enforced, and which wore not applicable to all the States in tho Union alike. The Attorney-General of the United States contends that a condi? tion npon one State that is not obliga? tory upon all, is void. If these views be correct, (and they seem to huve the sanction of the best legal minds in Con? gress,) then the original bill was only amended to gratify a whim of the majori? ty, and, in effect, Virginia is nowa State, unconditionally, and without restrictions further than those imposed upon other States. The attention of Congress will soon be called to the laws passed to prevent the forgery and counterfeiting of public securities, with a view to huvo the samo amended and made more efficient for the prevention of this crime. There are so many different kinds of Government securities, consisting, for instance, of bonds, coupons, national currency, United States notes, Treasury notes, fractional notes, certificates of indebted? ness, certificates of deposits, checks for money on authorized depositaries, stamps of various kinds and denominations, ko., that great impositions, almost daily, arc being practiced upon the different de? partments, and, oftentimes, it has been found impracticable to prosecute for such impositions. The attack npon the administration, by Mr. Dawes, of Massachusetts, has cre? ated great excitement upon both sides of tho House, the ono being very jubilant, while the other is equally indignant. General Butler has been seeking an op? portunity to reply to his colleague, and it is expected he will get the floor to-day. Although there bas been some little "unpleasantness" between the President and Mr. Butler, in times gone by, it is evident that a warm friendship is grow? ing up between them, at present. But? ler introduced a bill, in the early part of the present session, to abolish entirely the tenure of office bill, which was cer? tainly very grateful to tho feelings of the President; uud now, in taking up and defending so warmly the cause of the administration against the libelous at? tacks of Mr. Dawes, ho will bo looked to as the leader of the Presidential party in the House. He very facetiously remarked, a few days sinco, when questioned about tho difference between himself and Gene? ral Grant, that "he was forgiving, while the Goneral was for-taking." The World's Fair is meeting with op? position from unexpected sources in Congress. Senator Sumner first opposed it, upon tue ground that England had a fair in view, and it would not be best to hold two fairs at tho samo time. Oppo? sition now comes from Mr. Hamlin, of Maine, and Morrill, of Vermont, on the ground that they wish to "protect tho people of Washington against them? selves." About $1,000,000 has been j already subscribed by tho people, but j theso gentlemen demand that $3,000,01)0 j be subscribed and actually paid in, before they will ever recommend tho passago of I thc*bill. If this demand is adhered to, I tho World's Fair will bo laid in thc cold, j cold grave in the National Capitol, with "no resurrection," pluceil over it foran epitaph, becauso this auiouut of money cannot be raiued nuder tho present strin? gency of tho money market. An invention, which is considered to rank among tho first in tho country, is now on exhibition in Washington. It is ono for transmitting power without loss. This is a thing which has been consider? ed heretofore, impossible; but the in? ventor, Mr. Robert Spear, has demon? strated its practicability beyond perad? venture. The Presideut and sttff and many members of Congress have wit? nessed the performance of tho machine, und it has also been examined by men of scienco of the city, and all concur in its feasibility. Tho machine is very simple, it consists only of an air cylinder and a steam engine nt one ond and an air eu? gine at the other end of a pipe of any - 1 1 '-??,! desired length, tho RUM b^iag proridsd at intervals of 100'feet, more or lesa, withjoijits, *hich (ona contractions in it. lt is assumed that by means of the contractions in the pipe, a dead &ir cham? ber is form?, which entirely precludes the possibility of friction of the air as it posses through the pipe. The invention hos attracted a great deal of attention, as the inventor claims he can expel fool air and water from mines, and supply them with fresh air, and then he can utilize the power of Niagara Falls and of inac? cessible streams. Tho greatest attraction at the metro? polis now, is the young Prince Arthur, third son of Queen Victoria. Although our people have the daily opportunity of seeing distinguished titled representa? tives of foreign nations, ns well us the pre-eminent of our own lund, still thc curiosity to see tho live son of a live Queen, is just as insatiable here ns it was in New York. But excitement and hum? bug aro necessary pabulum for thc Ame? rican mind, and wo must not wonder. He is said to "wear" large boots, small legs, broad shoulders, a large bend and n rea? sonable growth ot blonde whiskers. It is rumored, that while passing up tho aisle of the Church of the Epiphauy, on Sunday morning, in company with Mrs. Thornton, the wifo of the British Minis? ter, he stumped his toe, and brought his nose suddenly in contact with tho back of a pew. If this be so, it is the second time that royal blood has ever been shed upon America's soil. The first occasion was when the heart of the Prince of Wales bled nt parting with a fair damsel of Fifth avenue notoriety. The Woman's Bights Convention, which has been in session for some days past, has adjourned sine die. The ladies were very earnest in their expressions, but not always very temperate. Miss Anthony remarked, "we have no states? men, they aro simply dcor-mnts," and said, in'speaking of Gen. Grant and Ur. Mary E. Walker, "The President said ho would see that lady when she came iu a garb suited to her sex. I would com? mend President Grant for that expres? sion, if {he would tell some of those ladies who daily seek audience with him, flaunting in gay colors and robed iu velvet and silks, that they could not see him until they put on tho robes of virtue and chastity ns well as laoes and velvets." If this convention was the "dissembled wisdom" (as Mrs. Partington remarked of Congress) of the "Woman's Eight? ers," your correspondent must confess, that in his opinion, it was also the "dis i sembled" beauty of tho country. HOMO. Thc French Emperor could not very well havo greater temptation or better ! opportunity than he had during the past week to violate the principle of the lib eral reforms lately established. But ho | has kept strictly within constitutional limits, and has maintained tho senatits- > cons ult ian. He has respected tho rights guaranteed to the press, and has autho? rized the Courts to proceed regularly against those violent journals which have been attempting to incite revolution. At tho very time tho agitators were doing their worst, he exercised a clemency be- ? youd anythiug previously known, gave] amnesty to men who had attempted to ! assassinate him, and invited back to i j Franco political leaders, who, ho could ! I not but know, would join tho opposition, j If Napoleon's Government should pass safely through the present crisis without resorting to' measures violative of the i j new liberties, he will have done more to ? j strengthen his dynasty than if he had executed ten thousand Rocheforts. - I THE EDUEVIELD BAR AND JCOOE OHK. !

A thorn in tho bush is worth two iu tho hand. When a mau'? heart ossifies, or turns ! to boue, he dies ut once; but if it petri? fies, or, iu other words, turns to stone, he invariably lives too long for any useful purpose. It is a bad sigu wheu a preacher tries to ?drive homo his logic by thumping the desk violently with his clenched linud. His arguments aro so-fist-ical. A pompous fellow made a very inade? quate offer for a valuable property in this city, a few dnys ngo, and calling next day for un answer, inquired if the owner bud I eutertuiued his proposition. "No," re? plied the other, "your proposition baa entertained mc." The dwelling of Mr. Thos. P.

"Setting a Man-trap" is tho title given to the picture of a pretty youug giri, ar? ranging her curls at a mirror. Hitchcock's New Monthly Magazine is a gem. It is filled with choice music, art notes and select reading for the family circle. The February number contains a portrait of Clara Fisher, who, as a danseuse, created such a furore among tho young men of Columbia, thirty-four years ago. If wo aro not greatly mis? taken, there aro several of the aforesaid youngsters still living, who will smilo at the recollection of their great desiro to obtain a souvenir of Miss Clara-a piece of one of her night-dresses, which a ser? vant of our old friend, Mrs. Hillegas, found in the room after her departure. The lady has long been married, and, as Mrs. Maoder, filling the roles of actress and siugor, (neglectful of her terpsicho? rean attainments,) gratified largo au? diences in tho old Park and other New York theatres. She is now filling au en? gagement at tho Arch Street Theatre, in Philadelphia; but her youthful admirers would fail to recognize, in thc substnn tial-lookiug tragedy queen of to-day, thc delicate creaturo of by-gono days.
