COLUMBIA, 8. C. Wednesday Morning,February89,1870 The Dcrnocrntlii Coantlts-Snve U? from ?kr Fricada. Tho proposition to sink tho Democrncy in a sort of hybrid organization, which .hall be neither fish, flesh nor fowl, and .which, in seeking to please everybody will satisfy no one, might well lead many of us to exclaim: "Save us from onr fri9N&" . Let us briefly suggest how the programme jap-mW work : -j ^ 1. Jkwpolov take the sont ?olV>f the aiiMwioW r^oVement in the'state. 2. It would disgust the very bone and sinew pf the anU-radioolists, who are earnest, working Democrats. 3. It would leave the radical. Counties in the hands of radicalism, and place the Democratic Counties in tho hands of middle men, with little force and no in? fluence, (?eoause men who have no de? cided views are men who have neither force nor influence. "Wotonde? tai tho Mooee or lt? Friends.*' It appears that the Charleston News ha* decided that the South Carolina De? mocracy has disbanded, and that in linn "the citizens' party" is now forming in Sooth C&rolinn. The News says: "?THB 'THIRD PARTY' A MISNOMER. We notice that aome-of the State papers are falling into tba habit of styling the new .lertMsns' SE Maty; now forming throughout South Carolina, the 'third' party. 1 The phrase, we presume, is meant to convey tho idea that the new political. organization is wholly distinct from either of the parties which have hitherto struggled for the mastery in our State eleotions. But the term seems to us a little unfortunate, inasmuch as it may be understood to imply the exist? ence at this time of three parties in South Carolina The foot is, that all well-disposed people who have anything at stake in the future of the State- see the necessity of robbing ont old party lines altogether within her borders. Henceforward in State affairs there will bo but two parties among us-the party of i honest and capable government, low taxation and general reform; and on the other hand, a ring of corrupt officials, with all whom they can bribe, bully or delude into supporting them, and who will be banded together under the ban? ner of radicalism, robbery and ruin. These is to be no 'third' party." When the South Carolina Democracy shall speak for itself, we shall defer to its judgment. In the meantime, we take it that it still lives-lives in the up-coun? try-the middle country-on the Pee Dee--on the sea-coast. And -we jpay ndd, that no journal in the Stato, no schooling politicians, no would-be wire? pullers eau dispose of it. The people who breathed into it tho breath of life and made it a living soul-they give it vitali? ty. We repeat what we have before said: "Let a wise, moderate and progressive Democracy be put before the country." THE DECLINE OF AMERICAN COMMERCE. The report on the deoline of American commerce, submitted to Congress the other day, shows that from 1861 to 1866, onr tonnage engaged in the foreign trade decreased from 2,642,628 tons to 1,492, 926 tons-a loss of over 4.3 per cent. ; while Great Britain, in the same time, gained 086,715 tons, or more than 30 per cent. Tho estimated vulue of the tonnage of thc United States engaged in the foreign carrying trade in 1861, was, $108,347,748; in 1869, thc estimated value of the same tonnage was, 870,488,045, with a net loss in yearly earnings of ?12,619,601. Since 1853, our exports have doubled, while tho percentage car? ried in American vessels has fallen from 67 per cent, to 34 per cent. To remedy this, it is proposed to ir-admit vessels which sought the protection of a foreign flag during the war, to American regis? try; to admit foreign built vessels to American registry free of duty, or on payment of a moderate tonnage duty; to allow a draw-back on ship-building ma? terials; to allow withdrawal of stores in? tended for consumption from bond; to exempt tonnage from all except Federal taxes, and to subsidize American steam? ship lines. NEW TELEGRAPHIC LINE.-A new line from Washington to New Orleans via Lynchburg, is proposed. Its title is "The Southern Atlantic Telegraph Com? pany." It will bc* in working order to Lynchburg by April. Col. W. C. Patter? son, of Philadelphia, well known in Vir? ginia, is the President of the company; and among the directors are Gen. lvobert Patterson, Gen. Wade Hampton, Gen. .T. B. Gordon, Mr. Lafitte, of Charles? ton, and others of like responsibility and character. How muoh is expressed in tho line old sentiment, live and let live! How blessed is the man who lives and lets live! How cheoring to see his fields teeming with the riohest verdure! what a pleasure to look on and see his sleek and plump ani? mals of every age and variety! Where, in the world besides, can be found auch happy faces, snob contented spirits and suoh grateful hearts as can be found on his estate? May God forever bless those whoso real, heart-felt sentiments are, "Live and let live." ., PoiiTnca IN VIRGINIA.-Th? Iii ob mond Enquirer and Examiner, alluding io that olaas of- persons in Virginie who contend that it ^.fot y? tinje $act witf the D?mocratie partjSaaja^^ j "Tho jEesent & joifthe time.; TO havftprMhriynsjada tyeneoniiterr We have to nght'a~ party strong in influence, wealth, corruption, unscrupulousness, and sectionalism-stronger in numbers than any other party nas been in the United States. How shall we fight thom? By driving a wedge into every crovico we see; by shooting an arrow into every joint of their harness. But, can we do it unless we .?bayo wedges and arrows? Thea? we propose to make and to keep re?dy for uso. Wo propose to maul them With the Democratic party. Granted, if yon choose, that it io not the most agreeable implement, that it has flaws ana-rotten places, and a split handle. It is the only implement we can get. "Suppose yon are on a Teasel at sea, have been chased and crippled by pirates, that you are leaking, ana that you have a pirate at your helm whom the pursuing gang hate as much as they hate you; that you are in sight of land, but can with diffioulty make port under your pilot. Now what would be thought of the good sense of a man who, nuder such cir on ms tan cos, should refuse to take his turn at the pumps because he had known that pilot for forty years, had in all that time esteemed him a pirate, and was certain that aa soon as he got ashore he would desert the ship and try to fit ont another piratical expedition to take her as soon as she should refit and put to sea? Would a sensible man take that chance, or would he walk the plank for his captors? "But suppose at least half the crow and passengers should say tho pilot was no pirate; but simply a great old profli? gate; very fond of getting his ship? mates into a serape, and then sneaking out himself; but certainly a mortui enemy of bis stern chasers. Would our conservative passenger still refuse to take a torn at the pumps? If he should, what would be thought of his sense? "Now that seems to us to be our case. Relentless Republicans hound us, 'Gruel as death and hungry as tho grave;' and we will head them off if wo can. "Do you ask our platform? We will tell you. We shall not waste strength or time on obsolete er inopportune issues. But we shall fight the Republi? can i party ?in the Union ; and we shall anticipate immaturity here and fight it in its infanoy. We shall esteem any party better than that, and make alli? ance accordingly." PROPOSED SALE OP CUBA.-An unoffi? cial letter has been received at Wash? ington from Madrid, giving information, claimed to be based on trustworthy sources, that the Spanish officials aro willing to enter into negotiations for tho salo of Ouba to. .the United States for $60,000 io gold, free from all claims for indemnity of whatever* character, but that the public sentiment in Spaiu is so strong against this that it would ho un? safe for the rcgenoy to enter upon any such negotiations. In confirmation of this statement, it is reported that similar information is iu possession of a mem? ber of tho Seuato Committee on Foreigu Relations. Thc immaculate Whittemore has at last como to grief. Although ho stoutly averred that one witness was inimical to him, and swore falsely, and that ho had never heard of another to whom he had offered to sell a cadetship for $2,000, tho Military Committee of the House cannot see it in that light. They havo reported him for expulsion, and the House is to voto upon it to day. The case must bo bad indeed, when thc Committee, which like all the committees of tho House is of course intensely partisan, felt impelled to bring in such a report. -? - A mermaid is on exhibition in Benares, the holy city of Bengal. There is no deception. Anybody can go in and see the prodigy, on payment of a single pice-a coin so small in valuo that West? ern nations would scorn to acknowledge it. The mermaid does not como up to the old descriptions and pictures of the oreature, for there is nothing of the lovely woman about it. "It exactly resembles n fish covered with scales iu tho lower half, and a monkey (having n head and two arms, with fingers uud nails,) in tho upper half." It was found in the sea, near Japan, and the present ownors gave 500 rupees for it-about $300 of our ourroncy. Another ono wan brought over, ut tho same time, "as big as a man." There is a delicate quostion pending in tho New Orleans custom house. A lot ol cattlo and dogs arrivod on an English ship, aud wero regularly going through, when it was found that nino pups and fivo calves woro not mentioned in the lading.

SELECTIONS FBOM NBWOTAPEBS,-Most people think that the selection of suita? ble matter for a newspaper is the easiest perl Of the hnsinees^Horoprea? an erro?. To look over fifty ejtchangiiapapers daily, [from which to Select enough for one, ?MMoially when tnf question ia not what ehSll ba? but wbaWhall nfc be selected, is: Sot a TC ry cany-task.- If avery perada Who reads a newspaper, say? a contem? porary, could have edited one we should navfl ima oom plaints. Not un frequently ir it the oaae that an editor looks over his exchanges for something interesting and finds absolutely nothing. Every paper ia drier than - a contribution box, and yet something must be bad; his pa? per must be out with something in it, and he does -tho bast be pan. To an editor who has the least care of what he selects, the writing he has to do is the easiest part of his labor. Every subscriber thinks the paper is printed for his benefit, and if there is ; nothing that snits him, it must be-it is good for nothing. As many subscribers as an editor has, so many tastes he has to consult. One wants something smart and something sound. One likes anec? dotes, fun and frolio, and his next-door neighbor wonders that a man of sense will put such stuff in his paper. Some? thing spicy comes out, and tho editor is a blackguard; next comes something argumentative, and the editor is a dull fool. And so, between them all, the poor fellow gets tho worst of it. They never reflect that what does not please them will ploase the next mau; but they insist that if the paper does not suit them, it is good for nothing, and stop taking it immediately. One of the many enri?os notions pro? valent iu the outside world, is thu idea that editors aro in a chronic strait for something with which to "fill" up their columns. "Here's something to till up," says tho self-satisfied contributor, who has "thrown himself " out on some tri? vial affair. Tho chances ure that ho has made a long, rumbling story of what should have boen told in a few crisp sentences, if at nil, and tho editor is obliged to lick him into shape, or let him be laughed at by the critics of the town. Nows is welcome, but nonsense to "fill up" with is not the joy of a journalist.
