REDUCTION IN PRICE- CLUBBING.-The WEEKLY GLEANER contains more reading matter than any other family paper pub? lished in the JSouth-thirty-two long columns, printed in clear type. It is filled with original as well ns selected matter-editorials, correspondence, gene? ral nows, markets, telegrams, interest? ing stories, sketches, poetry, etc. Its columna are now graced by a highly entertaining nouv?Ue?e, the production of. a . lady of this city, and which has been pronounced by disinterested critics aa equal to the very beet of "Marion Harland's" works. This story is entitled "Orkney, or tho Fortunes of Juliet Clay? burn-a tale of the Palmetto State," and will run ihrough about twenty numbers of tho "GLEANER. " As we are desirous of introducing tba paper-which is in every sense a "/wnw companion"-into every family in the State, we have de? termined to reduoe the yearly subscrip? tion price, aa follows-payable, in all cases, in advance: Single copy $2.75; ten copies, (to one post office,) $25.00; twenty copies $45.00; fifty copies $100. The GLEANER and the "Rural Caroli? nian"-the popular agricultural monthly -will be furnished, for one year, at four dollar8. Address orders to PHONIX and GLEANER Office, Columbia, S. C. COLUMBIA, ST a Saturday Morning, February 5,1670. THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY-IS IT VICTORY OR DEFEAT? The Anderson Intelligencer wants to know if the Democrats of this State in? tend to be active and progressive, letting "the dead past bury tho dead," and look? ing forward with manly resolution to tho things before them. If they do this and address themselves to living issues and practical propositions, it intimates vic? tory. If not, defeat. We answer that, in our opinion, the Intelligencer need have no fears on this score. We behove that those composing the Democracy of South Carolina, from one end of the State to the other, are thoroughly united and fully in accord with the hopes of the Intelligencer. We feel satisfied, from the intimations that have reached us, and from our own observation, thnt the Democratic party of South Carolina in? tend to bo a progressive party-a party of genuine reform-a party of practical aims. It will, we assume, make no un? necessary issues-it will concedo all the political rights given to the freedmen by law. At the same time, in behalf of the interests of all elapses of our mixed popu? lation, it will demand a reform of exist? ing abuses. It will go for the iufiux into our State of labor and capital. It will go for the encouragement of all the in? dustries. It will seek to secure in South Carolina that harmony and good will be? tween the whites and colored people, so promotive of the general weal. It will place npon its banner "reform and work." When, therefore, the Intelligencer asks: "The Democratic party-is it victory or defeat?" we reply, the Democratic party, liberalized, invigorated, energized-it is policy-it is principle-it is duty-IT CAN RE VICTORY. THE CONDITION OK BUSINESS. - A writer iu Hunt's Merchants' Magazine says that a majority of the suspensions recently have been those of small firms, whose combined liabilities are scarcely equal to those of a single first-class house. Most of the failures among the dry goods commission houses have arisen from the firms nesuming the responsibilities of manufacturers, and taking the risk of unprofitable mill properties. Ho be? lieves there is really much in tho preaont coudition of the country to bespeak satisfaction and confidence, and that u fair survey of the fiold warrants the ex? pectation of a steady, prosperous busi? ness in 1870, and that the mercantile community need less to be cautioned than encouraged. TnE SOUTH CAROLINA RAILROAD COM? PANY.-We are authorized to stuto that at the regular meeting of the Bourd of Directors of the South Carolina Railroad Company, held on Wednesday lust, it I was determined to begin the payment of quarterly dividends in July next. This announcement will bo received, we are sure, with great satisfaction. Tho road nos been rebuilt aud is in fine order; the rolling stock and motive power aro thoroughly efficient; the debt of the company has been amicably adjusted, and the business of the road is steadily iucreasing. It has ulways been the earnest and laudable desire of the direc? tors to resume, at the earliest moment nossible, the payment of dividends, so that the stockholders may realize some return from their investment, and, in accordance with this settled principle, the board have taken the prudent step now brought to tho attention of the public.-Charleston News. - . .

MORE BLOOD? WORK IN Harri.-A de? spatch from Port au Prince says that thc work of the military commission whicl j tried Suhiuvo and sentenced him to deatL j is not yet ended. The case.s of severa! I of his Generals, aud of tho most promi ! neut and influential of his frionds amour tho civilians, yet remain to bo dispos?e of in Port au Prince, and in most of the Southern towns the shooting of Picquet! is going on briskly. At Joremie a larg< number of those unfortunate people hav< boon put to death, and nt Jacmel mon ; than forty of thom are in prison, doomei j to die on an oarJy day. The spirit o: i vengeance hos boen fully roused, and thc j victorious revolutionists have expressed j their determination to crush out the Sal I nave party. Tho Cacos are crying ont for blood, und unless more moderato one merciful councils should prevail thar those ruling at present, a reign of terroi may bo expected in Hayti. An anti-slavery rejoioing came off ii Boston, the other evening.

We mope noe "Deat about dead issues." and tho Democratic party in this State mast be "activo and progressive:" THE DKMOCBATIO PABTY OF TBXB STATS -Is rr VICTORY OB DEFEAT?-The news? papers of this State have been discuss? ing, for the past several weeks, the plans of the approaching campaign. The opinions and sentiments appear to be various, showing the imperative neces? sity for oonoert of action, whioh is ad? mitted on all sides to be the great ques? tion of the hoar. It is not proposed in this article to point out the means to bring about entire harmony and unani? mity among the opposition to the present radical administration-these will be de? velop od at the proper time. But as an indication of publia sentiment in this region, where Democracy has its firmest stronghold, it is meet that an expression of the views entertained by this journal should go forth to the world. This will be done briefly. The questions entering iuto the cam? paign of 1868 are no longer under dis? cussion. Negro suffrage and its append? ages are fixed and irrevocable facts, so far as the inhabitants of this State nre concerned. In Federal politics, the groat iden of centralization is the ruliug motive of thc radical party, and mutt bo | combatted in other State? yet to feel tho tread of its iron heel, for here its work j has beeu accomplished for tho present. ! The tariff", currency aud excessive taxa I tion by the Federal Government, with j kindred questions, are likely to form tho ! nucleus ot opposition iu the North and j ? West to the rciguing dynasty. Dut with I these questions, altogether, the people ! of this State are not so directly ioterest j ed as to absorb their attention, espo- | j cially in preference to domestic affairs ! which more intimately concern their j ; welfare and the prosperity of the State. ! ? It is fair to presume, then, that Federal ! . politics will be tabooed in tho coming ! I canvass, and that every attention will be j i giveu to secure an honest aud faithful | ! representation of the peoplo iu both j j branches of tho Legislature, uud in other ' high offices. lu order to secure this de j sirabio object, it is unnecessary to beat I about dead issues. The Democratic j party in this State must be progressive and active, not slumbering among the ruins of the past, however glorious that post may be. If it is essential to it? sae I cess, heretofore leaders must bo laid Inside, uud men imbued with strength ! and activity placed in tho van. Not that ? inexperienced hands should guide tho ; helm, but to infuse new life and vigor it ! may be necessary to obtain tho services j of such as are not prejudiced by a Life i time education against what has been iu j evitable. With the Democratic party no ; longer tilting ut wind mills, it is highly j probable that tho co-existent races in j this .State might adjust the differences of j tho last three or four years, and solve . tho difficult problem before them, to the great discomfiture of the aHeus aud j foreigners now ruling this ?State, aud j whoso feeding at the public crib is ut tho I expense of black and white alike. A I guarantee of equal political privileges, under the law as it uow stands, is noth I inp moro than duty requires, while such ! a declaration from the Democratic party i would go far to removing tho obstacle now in the path of tho negro against I affiliating with his white neighbor. I Until at least this much is done, the I radical majority of 30,000 will not be j effectually reduced, and years might in ; tervene before tho opportunity is again I so favorable towards ousting thc corrupt , demagogues from place aud power. Are j the leaders of our party prepared to take this step forward, and assume all the responsibility and meet the conse I queuces it entails upon them? Hence, we submit the question, is it victorv or I defeat? THB LITTLE AUTOMATIC TEi.Ftiu.viui ! SYSTEM.-The National Telegraph Com ! pauy, under tho management of W. P. ; Westervelt, aro making rapid progress in j buildiug their new line of telegraph be I tween Washington and New York, and ' we ure glad to kuow that wo are to have I tho most substantial and reliable line I ever constructed iu this couutry, for the uso of the automatic, system. Tho Na- ( j tionul Company is putting up the recent- j ly invented "compound wire"-a steel j , coro covered with puro copper-which, j ' with only half thc weight of an ordinary j j iron telegraph wire, bas over threo times I I the tensile strength, and nearly four I timos the conductivity. The first cost of tho wiro is about doublo that ordinarily ! employed by the old telegraph compa-1 nies, but the new wire is claimed to be at leust teu times moro durable than tho comDion iron wire, whilst its voBt supe? riority as a conductor of electricity will enable tho new company to telegraph through long circuits promptly in the heaviest storms, when tho ordiuary wires are rendered useless. Tho Courier-Journal copies thc Tri- j I /tune's dtatement that under Grant tho national debt has been reduced at thc , rate of "a little over three dollars per second," and adds that if Grant is nox? ious to pay the national debt, ho has only to stop the stealing of his party for two-hours-und-u-half.

N2! j MAXTKrta m YORK-Yo BX UNDER "PRO TIonoN."-Tho Enquirer says: On Sa? turday evening of week Woro last, the citizens of our town w?ro snrprised bj the arrival of a mall detachment (six in number) of State Constable Hubbard's police force. As there had been no news ot any disturbance in the Conntj, con? jecture ran wild as to the object of the visit. Our correspondent "H." to whose letter we refer the reader, explains the mystery and gives some account of the doings of the now preservers of the peace of our Couuty. Wo learn, in addition, that the company now numbers seventy men. It is a source of deep regret, if any of the citizens of York, knowing how eagerly au excuso for military interfer? ence is snatched at, have given so plausi? ble an occasion as the burning of a house. There is some doubt about their partici? pation iu the uftair; for we hear that H?llender, who made the complaint to Governor Scott, told his Excellency that he believed the party of so-called Kn Klux came from North Carolina. Be this as it may, we know that tho public opinion of this County is totally opposed to mob law in any .shape, and we hope it will make itself heard on this occasion. The spirit of law and order is nowhere more prevalent than in York, and a com parisoDlmay bo challenged with auy part of thia broad lund, ?is to the scarcity of crime and the safety of person and pro? perty, both of which ure chiefly duo to the general morality and good sense of our people. House-burning ia not jus? tifiable in their eyes, and they always have, and always will, by due course of law, punish and suppress it. Wo have, therefore, n word of censure for the Governor, who is responsible for inflicting upon us the insult that the laws cuti not be enforced, or property protected hen-, without the aid of a mili? tary force. He hua acted without the authority of law, in this case-for the law allows him to usc military force oui}* when he knows that the civil officers are nuable or unwilling to afford protection j to any citizen asking it. Our Sheriff, and, as far as we can learn, our magis? trates, wore not called upon atoll, but left \ iu iguorauce of the fact that a crime had been committed, until the arrival of their unexpected allies iu tho work of preserv? ing tho peace. Under these circum ' stances, the Governor is bound, in honor, I to explain to our citizens why ho has ! interfered iu tho matter. In the absence ! of any reason for believing that life and i property are unsafe here, he is further j bound to remove his State constable?, I and disband his volunteer force, who are ? merely liviug at the expense of the County and in no sort of way "protect? ing" anybody or anything. We call upon thu Governor for his evidence in the caso, iu order that our people may j know when to consider themselves (or ; rather, wheu he considers them) iu I danger. Just Received.^ QA BBL8.
