COLUMBA; 8. ?. Yti?xy Homiflg, February 25, 1870; Kncouregc Mannfacturct. We learn that the proposition to ex? empt from,, taxation for a certain period such cotton faotories as may hereafter be established in this State will be brought up before the present Legislature.'

If South Carolina expects to keep abreast with tho columns of. progress, ehe muet not fail to invite into the State capital from abroad, and espe? cially that capital which proposes to seek investment, fiji cotton fae to ri cs. To work up our great staple should be our policy; and if native capital and enterprise can? not or will not essay it, then let us invite foreign capital and enterprise to the good work. ; The Political Situation Reviewed-A Convention Proposed. After the war ceased, we had for some time in'South Carolina no party forma? tions. The colored portion of tho popu lutionv of . the State had no political status, and ag to tho white voters, broken in fortunes, defeated in battle, with no State or country that they could feel was their own, they: were in no humor to form political. combinations, Without power and influence, they were, indeed, without the ability to form these combi? nations, had the disposition existed. The whites of. the State, therefore, passed politics by, and looked to their private interests. In the meantime. Congress assumed the wCrk of reconstruction, and advanced the freedmen to suffrage. Then carno political adventurers into the State-then arose native political mushrooms-politioal fungi-and soon the radical party of South Carolina, composed almost entirely of the colored people, was organized. The call for a Constitutional Conven? tion was issued. The whites declined to take the field, and as a consequence, the Constitutional Convention was a conven? tion of the radical party of the State, who, without let or hindrance, carried out their programme. The next step was to elect State officers. Now, for the first time, at a late moment, the anti radical element of the State was aroused. It was seen that the citadel was about to be carried before our very eyes. The chances were desperate, but it was de? termined, at least, to make a vigorous effort to save the State from the rude grasp about to be laid upon it. The op? position to radioalism naturally took the form of Democracy, and in April, 18G8, tho South Carolina Democratic party met in Couveution, consummated a party organization, put forth a deolaration of principles, and placed candidates bofore the people. As anticipated, the Demo? cratic candidates wero not elected, but tho point was made. The seeds of op? position to radicalism were planted. The anti-radical element had taken its stand. Next, the Presidential election came ou; and the South Carolina Democracy se? lected their candidates and took the field in earnest. Our readers are familiar with the result. It is enough for us to say that tho entire strength of? tho Democra? tic party was polled, two out of the four Congressional candidates wero elected, and one-half of the Counties of the State were carried for the Democratic party. The result was considerable and full of promise. The contost over, the Democratic Clubs laid aside their stand? ards, and as was wise and patriotic, ac? cepted the result and turned their atten? tion to the advancement of their material interests. In the meantime, another election is to bo held, and the question arise.'} what shall the opposition do-what specific lino of action shall wo adopt? Upon certain points we aie agreed. It is agreed that the radical party of the State must bo opposed at the ballot-box. It is agreed that a generous and general rally must bo made in behalf of political re? form. It is further agreed that tho op? position must acknowledge all the politi? cal and civil rights now enjoyed by tho freedmen. It is agreed that tho opposi? tion must address itself to living issues must be a party active, progressive and in full sympathy with the spirit of indus? trial development and popular enlighten? ment. It is agreed, in fine, that the opposition must go bofore the State pledged to the principle of fair play and justice to all, to the putting of able and honest men into office, to tho honest and cheap administration of our State Go? vernment, to the development of our material wealth and to the sincere en? couragement of foreign capital and im? migration seeking our State. - Upon these pointe there seems to be1 no difference. Here we. hare that ?naoit desired, mast be once of tion?< the State auti-radical press. The ques? tion has arisen, how sholl thia fight bo made? Shall we lay aside 'the Demo oratio banner and essay a new flag? Oar renders are a warb that wo hove very de? cided views upwnMsnsubject. As "par? ties DOW ?tandi we aro Democr? ts, and we ; do not propose,to forego,e\thor name or general pt?tifcipSeJC Q BfcfcE Appreciating the paramount importance of oonoert of notion, knowing that the anti-radioalists bf the State have a common parp?se in view? moved by an earnest desire to have all anti-radioali?ta movo like ono man to the rescue of the State, we -venture to suggest that it is quite possible to have these differences settled in a decisivo way upon a fair and honorable basis. Let the question in debate be settled by the anti-radicalists themselves. In duo time let a convention of earnest and able men from .every County assemble, and suggest a platform upon whioh we may all be able to meet and fight the good fight of Carolina's redemption; In the meantime we do not hesitate to de? clare that we earnestly hope and advise that tho people will stand firmly by the Democraoy. Wo, want no hybrid party. We want honest men by honest, means to consummate an honest reform. Let us stand by th? D?mocratie party. Let j us raise again oar undishonored stand? ards, and show that Democraoy, rightly interpreted, means in this State roLiri CAIi REF O It il AND rSD?STBIAIj ACTIVITY, AND A F Alli FIELD FOB ALL. STATE LEGISLATURE. THOBSDAY, FEBBUABY 24, 1870. SENATE. The Committee on Claims recom? mended that B. H. Knight, late bursar of the Arsenal Academy, be paid $300 for hiajservices; laid over. Mr. Leslie introduced a bill to en? courage and aid cotton -and woolen manufactories. The enacting clause cf a bill to au? thorize Counties and "towns to make subscriptions to works of internal im? provements, waa stricke? out. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Mr. Mixsctn offered a concurrent reso? lution, which, after warm and exciting debate, was laid on tho table; that the time for adjonrnmentof this Legislature bo extended to March 15. Tho following bills were passed and ordered to be enrolled: Senate bill to fix the per diem and mileage of the members of the next General Assembly; to recharter Bantowle's Bridge; to grant to certain persons therein named the exclusive right to dig and mine in the beds of tho navigable streams and waters of the State for phosphate rocks and phospbatic deposits; to further amend and perpetuate the homestead.; to raise supplies and to make appropriations for tho fiscal year commencing November 1, 18G9; joint resolution to authorize the Committee of Investigation for tho Third Congressional District to make a similar investigation for the Fourth Congressional District, with an amend? ment; a bill to authorize the County Commissioners of Abbeville to lay out a public road from Greenwood to New Market; to define the powers and juris? diction of County Commissioners; to incorporate tho Plymouth Congregation? al Church, of Charleston ; to declare the corporate privileges of the Camden Bridge Company at an end, and to vest the saino iu the County Commissioners of Kershaw County. This is the way the Fox girls produce their spiritual rappings: Fasten one end of a piece of elastic band, four or five inches long, to the middle of a pound bar of lead, and tho other end tb a ring largo enough to receivo the toe of your shoe. Take another piece -of elastic band, eight inohes or more la length; fasten one end to the ring and the other to the right leg above tho knee; When standing, with the contrivance arranged as described, the bur of lead should not como quite to the ankle. Of course, a long dress is necessary to conceal it. When sitting, the raps eau bo made by putting the toe of the loft shoe .through tho ring, and with a slight movement of tho foot causing the lead to strike the floor. Ono ond of tho bar will be likely to come in contact with tho floor a little before tho other end docs, and thus pro? duce the peculiar double-knock mano by the Fox mediums. By a slight' lateral motion of tho foot, raps can bo made with such a contrivance on a table leg or ii door. A gentleman walking home with one of the girls, one evening'after n seance, noticed a sound in connection with her step like that made by a wooden peg in walking; and the embarrassed girl said she could not conceive what caused it. "Baggago smashing," to which tho traveling public hnvo been helpless vic? tims hitherto, has just received a whole some check in Pennsylvania, and the axample, it is to bo hoped, will bo fol? lowed in other States.

D?weese, of North Carolina, who bargained for the sala of his army/ eadetship, bot who finally traded it away to State Senator Lassiter, of that State, to prevent the latter from running against him for Congress, and. to influ? ence the passage of a railroad job before the North Carolina L?gislature. B. F. Wbittemore, of Sooth Carolina, who, in retnrn for the favor conferred on his constituents by sending them about $1,000 to be need for educational purposes, appointed a young man who was legally qualified for the appoint? ment. W. Jasper Blackburn, of Louisiana, who received $1,500 for both of his ca detship8, from a gentleman in New York, and who sent boys to Annapolis and West Point, who never dreamed of living in his district. J. Hale Sypher, of Louisiana, who, having refused to have anything to do with the sale, transferred the negotiation to his "Band of Hope" leading brother, J. li. Sypher, of Philadelphia, The brother demanded $2,500, which was considered an exorbitant price, and the negotiation was not concluded. Subse? quently, a boy who was not a resident of his district, was sent to "tho Point" by Sypher. R. R. Butler, of Tennessee, who re? ceived $1,000 for his West Point nomi? nation, and who yesterday appeared before the committee, and, after admit? ting the fact, stated that ne had given $500 of the money to aid in the election of Col. Stokes as Governor of that State, $200 of it to other politicians, and the remainder he had devoted to his own use in defraying the expenses of his cam? paigns. Commenting on this matter, the Rich? mond Enquirer and Examiner says: The carpet-bag Representatives of the Sooth are already taking a high stand in Congress. The record of Senator Revels, we have previously referred to. Ho was, we see it stated, driven from Leaven? worth, Kansas, (where he was preach? ing,) for swindling the publie; and sub? sequently he waa driven from some other town, (to which he had gone from Lea? venworth.) It appears now that Hon. Mr, Wbitte? more, of South Carolina, probably rep? resenting Layne's or McDuffie's district, has been exhibiting very considerable talent. On May 12, 1869, Mr. W. wrote from Darlington, S. C., to Mr. P. H. Kegler, a New Y*>rk broker, offering to sell to him his (W.'s) nomination for a cadetship to West Point for the sum of $500. He subseqoently asked $2,000 for the same appointment, which amount ho received. Hon. Mr. Sypher, (or Syphax,) of Louisiana, has also boen in the same business. Mr. L. S. Brooks, of Mary? land, testifies before the Military Com? mittee of the House of Representatives, that he entered into negotiations with Mr. Sypher for tho purchase of his cadetship; that Sypher referred him to bis brother, who is tho Philadelphia editor of the New York Tribune; but that they could not agree on the price. Mr. Brooks then turned to Hon. W. Jasper Blackbarn? of Louisiana, mem? ber of the Fortioth Congress, sud bought of him for $1,500. The poor South! how is sho fallen! This is what they call "representa? tion" in Congress for the South. Such miserable creatures, adventurers from the North, have come among us, and with negro votes, hare had themselves sent to Washington. Oar own people cannot take the oath, even where there are enough whites in a district to over? come the solid negro vote. We omitted to tell, in j us tico to Mr. Wbittemore, what he did with the $2,000 which he got. He devoted it to "polit? ced and educational purposes-'-so he says! Talk about the inventiveness of Ameri? cans! There is no limit to their invent? iveness! Who would have thought of selling tho privilege of nominating a oadot to West Point for "political and educational purposes?" We know very little about law, and should be glad if some of our legal friends will inform us whether, on a charge for stealing, it can bo plead, in bar, that the money was spent for "political and educational pu8poses?" Educational purposes! Oh, there is the ring of tho genuine metal! Hear it pouring through the nose! Our despatches, this morning, state that Whitteraore, the minister-Repre? sentative from South Carolina, was unanimously expelled. He attempted to resign, but tho presiding officer of tho House would not recognize him as a member of that body. "Just tho thing!'' Such is the excla? mation of the Dyspeptics who uso SOLO?

Cook, aged eleven years, while playing with two other boys in a barn, placed a halter around his neck in sport, and stepping or falling from a bale of hay, hanged himself. Before he waa rescued, life was extinct. The wife of Bishop Beckwith, of Georgia, was severely injured by a brutal negro, near Macon, Georgin; a few days ago. He fell upon her, beat her severely, and attempted to outrace her, but she bit him so severely he was forced to desist. The villain has been arrested. . Mr. J. B.- Talley, of Rook Bluff, Liberty County, Florida, writes that five members of his family and two colored persons employed by him died daring one week from the prevailing epidemic, mouingetis. "Strawberry time is upon us," says tho New Orleans Times. "A specimen of the Bussell Prolific, grown in the open air, and measuring nearly five inches in circumference, was laid upon our table yesterday." The first colored woman to enter upon the study of law in the United States is Charlotte E. Bay, daughter of Bey. Charles B. Kuy. She has entered the Law Department of Howard University, Washington. Fifty-four murders are recorded as having been committed in the United States during January. New York had the largest number, eleven, and Illinois came next with six.

On every instrument this accomplished family play with pleasing effect. The programme was agreeably varied with vocal music. M?3S Maud Stanley is a superior vocalist, and sings with expression and effect. Hor voice is clear and pure, and espe? cially so in the upper register, in which she displayed great power. Sol Smith Bussell made a great hit with his humor? ous songs and amusing impersonations. He has extraordinary command of tho faoial muscles, and he uses them to so complotely impersonate a variety of characters that each is as distinct from tho* other as all are distinct from Mr. Bussell himself.
