COLUMBIA, S. C Thursday Morning, February 17,1870. DEMOCRATIC DEMONSTRATION.-A De? mocratic- meeting was held, in New Orleans, on tho 12th instant. "All citi? zens of conservativo views, and opposed to the corruptions, tho bad legislation and other excesses of the radicals," were invited to-participate iu tho proceedings. The New Orleans Times saya : "The meeting is a very itnportaut uue, and, wo trnst, will be largely attended. Borne vigorous efforts must be made to rescue the State and city from the vam pyres who aro growing fat and bloated with their life-blood. The Democratic party ia the only organized party which can furnish the nucleus of a Sufficient foroe to accomplish this important object. There are some citizens who do not like the name-some who do not like to be identified with the principles and policies for which the party has combated in the past. There are others who are dissatisfied with the acts and affiliations of prominent members of tba party. These must and can bc reconciled to a union with the great mass of the Demo? cracy on gruuucUflupou which all honest citizens must stand. The immediate object should swallow np nil minor differ? ences audf'pr?^udices. Th?jr object is to establish the supremacy of tho Constitu? tion, of personal and official honesty in She Government, and to defend the people from oppression arid spoliation. These are the three points to be fought for.. Let others be, for the pr?sent, ignored. Let it bo distinctly declared that unceasing war will be waged against venality and corruption in office, as well of Democrats ?s of r?did?ls-as well in the city as in Stato offices. ., Let it bo made known that the public official who sells his vote and favor shall hereafter be branded ss infam?os. ? 'i ? > GOOD WORDS WELL SPOKEN.-Oar contemporary, the Charleston News, closes an article, reviewing the political situation of the South, thus: "But there is one. comfort. States and races have an amazing vitality. They often-times grow most rapidly, like the palm tree, when weights are put upon them. A people whp retain their manhood, their industry, their virtue, cannot long wear the yoke, nor need they wait for the vindicatiomaof history. Having a distinct end to accomplish, united by .a common wrong, inheriting the legends aud the personal recollec? tions of a heroic past, cultivated, prac? ticed in large and liberal statesmanship we, of the South, certainly have no reason to despond, or to doubt, even amid the grievances and oppressions of the times, that 'the day of our redemp? tion druweth nigh.' Every year, a larger number of Southern youth, whom the fourteenth amendment cannot dis? qualify, are entering upon the arena of political life. And tho present voters of the Mouth may even now accomplish much by submitting to and adjusting the circumstances in which we are placed, so as to insure tho defeat of radicalism. Nay, are we not, in some respects, repre? hensible for theconditiou of State affairs, in having so long neglected the resorts of a sagacious policy aud suppressed the inspirations of a sustaining hope? "Some of tho shrewdest observers of tho drift of public affairs, already, like the New York Sun, acknowledge that the mission of the Ilepublicau party is nearly completed; that its ono idea is worn out; that it is bun by the jealou? sies of hostile factious and rival leaders. Aud everybody knows that 'when rogues fall out, honest men get their dues.' " A TERRIFIC EXPLOSION.-A special from Clarksville, Tennessee, to the Nash? ville Union anti American, dated thc lUth instant, says: "The locomotive on the freight train, No. 9, from Louisville, exploded this evening at t o'clock. Thomas J. Brad? ley, engineer, was killed, and firemeu Thomas Campbell and John Couseus supposed to be mortally wounded. The explosion was terriffic, and could he heard in every part of the city. Frag? ments weighing 3,000 pounds were thrown a distance of 300 yards. The accident occurred just as the locomotive cleared Bed Uiver trestle. Had it oc? curred ono minute sooner, the train would have been a perfect wreck. THE Anr OF GOVEKNINQ.-A cotempo rary says: "Nearer to our day, Napoleon, when time hod brought to him the philosophic mind, uttored the maxim, 'C'est le venire qui gouverne le monde,' and Lord Mel? bourne, who had a long reign of power tn England, said that there was but ono dictum of Lord Eldon's he would ac? knowledge-'if you wish to manage men, dine them well. " THE CASE OE TUE HON. ALFRED HUGER. Tho whole community will be gratified to learn that tho United States Supreme Court has affirmed tho decision of his Honor Judge Bryan, in favor of our venerable ex-postmaster, in tho suit brought against, him by the Government to recover certain moneys held by him, officially, at tho outbroak of the wur. [Charleston News. "Oh! what au excollent Tonic," is the language of tho invalid who uses SOLO? MONS* BITTENS. N21 There were 18 deaths iu Charleston for the week ending tho 12th-3 white and 15 colored. The weak and emaciated mother says: "My health and strength is restored by tho uso of" SOLOMONS' BITTEI?*". N21 On the loth, Blodgott, Farrow and Whitely were elected United States Sena tors from Georgia. No opposition. The Democrats did not vote. "Just tho thing!"

IRIUTABLE IN VAL1D8-Indigestion not only effects tho physical health, but thc dispositions and tempers of its victims. The dyspeptic becomes, too, in a measure demo? ralized by his sufferings. He is subject to fits of irritation, sullenness, or despair, as thc case may bo. A preternatural sensitiveness which he cannot control, leads him to miscon? strue the words and acts of those around him, and his intercourse oven with tho,se nearest and dearest to him is notunfrequently marked by exhibitions of testiness foreign to his real nature. These are tho mental phenomena of tho disease, for which tho invalid cannot be j ant !y hold responsible, but they occasion much household discomfort. It ia to the inte? rest of thu homo circlo, it is essential lo fami? ly harmony as well aa to the rescue of tho ?rincipal sufferer from a state not far removed rom incipient insanity, that these symptoms of mental disturbance be promptly removed. This eau only be done by removing their physi? cal cause, a derangement of tho functions of thc stomach and its allied viscera, tho liver and the bowels. Upon these three important organs HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS act simultaneously, producing a thorough and salutary change in their condition. The vegefablo ingredients of which tho prepara tion is composed aro of a renovating, regulat? ing and A LT K KATI VE character and the stimu? lant which lends activity to their remedia virtues is tho purest and best that can be ex? tracted from thc most -wholesome of all cereals, viz: sound rye. No dyspeptic can tako this genial restorative for a single week without experiencing a notablo improvement in his general health. Not only will his bodily suf? ferings abate from day to day, but his mind will recover rapidly from its restlessness and irritability, and this happy change will mani? fest itself iu his demeanor to ali around him.
