COLUMBIA, S. C. Saturday 1 flor ni up, February 26, 1870. Judge Underwood, of Virginia, haring taken occasion to pay some compliment to General Wise, wbo was in attendance upon the Court, the Now York Tribune, referring to the incident, says: "Wise is a man whose blood was Soured, at birth, into his veins at fever eat, and who has never since given it time to cool. A man who would give a home and patient, genial welcome by his hearth for life to an irritable, under-bred old woman?: because she had shown him spmo.kindnees when a boy; a mau wno hated, as he loved, in tho extremest snood, and always to the bitter end ; and who was so loyal to pis Slate that he knew no higher appellation for bia Maker than the'God of Virginia.' Yet, faulty as they may have been, he and the class in Virginia for whom ho spoke tho'othor day deserves.somothing better at oar hands than ridicule. "The War was a savage necessity, to answer n certain end. xt is over-its work is .done. Let us, in the name of -God and his justice, bury it out of sight, and not . perpetually drag ire decayed carcass to light, by social, pu?rile squab? bling and^unmanly jeers. 'Gen. Grant, the other day, in effect assured the Virginia delegation that 'manufactures wore better w?rth.C?ltivat ing than,?t?iyalry.' But wh?e it is worth their while to remember this, it is worth ours to consider that there was something inherently good and worth caving in that mach laughed at chivalry. Tho "Northern hew comers may bring capital, intelligence, and enterprise into Virginia, but they should beware lest they ignoro and destroy somoth i og which is there as valuable aa any of these. Civilization is hot moro a matter of rail? roads and factories, than of honorable .instinct, of pure, domestic life, of sin? cere hospitality and of gentle manners. The Northern people have suffered them? selves too much to judge of Virginia by her slave-breeders, her blatant politicians and would-be duellists. But behind these was the great land-holding popula? tion-a people simple-mannered, bearing the traces of generations of ease and -oulture; kind, hospitable, genial. Our crude and Ohaotio American social life can illy spare so sincere and good a type. It iS these people whom we should wel? come back again, overlooking any tem? porary bitterness among them. Judge Underwood's words were eminently sensible and fitly spoken. We commend his example to all new settlers in the South. Let them couoh their eyes in th? beginning, and be willing to recog? nise among their foes men 'who bear without abuse the grand old name of gentlemen.' A friendly and pure social life is worth as much as a stable govern? ment; and the mau who went with the heartiest, highest motives into the war, will be the most zealous now in estab? lishing with his old enemies the basis of -a real and Christian brotherhood." YORK CALLS FOR A CONVENTION.-After publishing the article suggesting a Con? vention of the anti-radicalists of the State, we find the Yorkville Enquirer making a .similar suggestion. Wa heartily endorse the proposition, and regard it as essential. The Enquirer says: A CONVENTION.-The question of what .should be doue ju opposition to radical? ism this summer has been rather freely discussed, of late, by a portiou of the State press. The discussion appears to aim at securing concert of action, and in order to give it some dc finite result, we suggest that n convention bo held in Co? lumbia, of delegates from all tho Conn? ies, unfettered by instructions and om .powered to decide upou tho policy to be adopted. If care is taken to select only tho best and most judicious men as dele? gates, the decision of such a Convention will be sure of a hearty support. Speak? ing with authority, it would give shape and direction to the opposition. These are essentials to success which tho pre? sent mode of discussing totally lacks. Nay, more, the frequent production of platforms, as it implies uncertainty, both of principle nod purpose, is a po8i'.ive injury to what wo all sincerely regard a good cause.

ECONOMY.-The taxes collect? ed in this County amounts to $28,GOO in cash, with a delinquent list sufficient to foot up a sum total of $30,000. In 1859, thc State tax for Piokens District, (Coo? nee and Pickens Counties.) was $5,998. The real and persoual proporty of the two Counties are about equal in value, making $3,000, the State tax for what is now Oconeo. If wo add fifty per cent, for County tax, we havo the tax of Coo? nee for 1859 at $1,500, against $30,000 in 1869. Why is this great difference? \Keou-ce Convie)'. Geueral Longstreet is President of a Republican Club in New Orleans. He must not be confoundod with tho long lane that knows no turning, says the New York World. A London court hua decided that a cigar-case and a tobacco-pouch are neces? saries for a wife of the period. She had bought them for her lover, and the hus? band refused to pay until compelled. - " " ? 1 1 ? ?ri??cj i.?-rr.;.:l?i. -: Tho SoHtlt Carolina, Railroad. I do not propose. Mr. Editor, to write a history of t h Lg railroad, which tra? the drat railroad ever ?o?structed in ihi Southe** SUteeft and OT ?K>me^tj}ao, tho longesfrOod in ?e wo??d; but n^relj^'to throwout a few Innis, so that, stock? holders may see their trae interesi and* not part with their stock, when we have evidently passed the crisis in our affairs, and with ordinary prudence and fore? sight on the part ol' the Directors, the j stock so long almost worthless, will now continue steadily to advance to its par J value. The Directors, doubtless, had many di?iou?ies to contend min when the war closed, and it is not necessary in this article to d?sonas the, wisdom of their management; suffice it to s?y, all the difficulties have been overcome-our fu? turo prospecta aro bright and tho road in excellent condition. Oar foreign debt, of about 82,000,000, went to protest daring the war; add to this, the road and rolling stock was almost totally destroy? ed by Sherman's army, the prospects, therefore, were gloomy indeed in 1865, but in February, '66, the road was in complete running order; we have now, if not enough, at least, a handsome out? fit of locomotives, passenger and freight cars, of all kinds; our foreign debt has (except, a small Sum) been settled upon very liberal terms: five por cent, and twenty years to pay. The receipts of the road have been heavier within the last twelve months than ever beforo in the same period, and there is every pro? bability that they will rcaoh $1,500,000 by February next. Oar prospects justify us in such reasonable expectations. Con? sider them for a moment. The Colom? bia and Augusta Railroad has hot ruined the South Carolina Road, as was confi? dently predicted.. and it is evident there is room.enohRh.fbr,both, and instead of the reoipts falling off, {hey have actually increased. This is attributable to two causes: First, tho increased energy, zeal, vitality and spirit infused into every de? partment of DUBiness; in a word, the progressive spirit of the ago. Second, the important connections this road hos only partially made with the Georgia roads. In less than one month, the con? nections will be complete and passengers will take the cars at Macon and got out in Charleston. Thousands of passengers, who go North every year from Macon and points ia the interior beyond Macon, have heretofore gone down the Central Railroad to Savannah and took steamer to New York and other points North; they will now have a much more desira? ble and direct route from Macon to Charlestou via Augusta, 100 miles shorter; ia a few months, also, the cars will ran through the city to the water, where they can step from the oars on board the steamers and go direct to Liverpool, New York, Boston, Baltimore and other points. The steamers are already on the lines and doing a success? ful business, and if Southern people will look to their interest, our cottou need not, in future, go to New York, on its way to Europe, to be tolled. The receipts over tbe Central Road are over ?1,000, 000, it is aot unreasonable to expect one-fourth of this for oar road. Thc Directors have determined to declare a dividend in July, to be quarterly there? after, and those stockholders who gave up in despair and sold out, I think will only regret it, for unless war, or nu earthquake, or some other unforeseen casualty happen, stock will bo double its present price in less than twelvo months. For political as well as pecuniary con? siderations, I would say to South Caro? linians: Keep tho control of the South Carolina Railroad. CIVTS. THE NAT?ONAT. CAVITAL-ANOTHER SCAN-MAO.-Tho Federal city has a new sensation, and a dirty one nt that. A wicked correspondent of thc Philadelphia Mercury, with prurient taste?, has found a nest of scandal about ono of the princi? pal hotels, and has given it publicity through tho journal in question. Seve ral prominent public characters are accused of all sorts of wicked actions, anti quito a number of tho fair sex only less noted have seen themselves iu priut and in a very uncnviablo position. A leading Senator is represented ns a sort of Don Juau, but on a less refined scale; the wife of a Senator is held up to pub? lic scorn xv* having at ono timo had tho right, if she thought fit, to subscribe herself "Anonyma;" a Congressman is charged with effecting tho ruiu of a con? fiding woman, and so on to the cud. All or part of these may or may not bo true; but, scaadalous as the stories may bo, they present, truthfully, a picturo of the morals of our uational capital, lt is a fact that any young woman who visits tho capitol unattended is regarded with suspicion; and to Le seen there ia con? versation with a member is pat dowa ns proof positivo that she has a soiled reputation. So low, indeed, is the standing of our public mon. But it is tho logical result of that decay of public morals, now so palpable, and stands out in painful contrast with the Congress and capital in Che better days of the republic. When Calhoun and Wright aud Webster and Clay honored the Sonate, to be a member of that august body was to bo abovo suspicion. \Cor. Louisville Courier-Journal. Calvin C.

Buck a certain certificate of State stock lost or destroyed. A resolution was adopted, that each member of this House be furnished by tho State Printer, ns soon as practicable, with a bound copy of the Acts of this Genernl Assembly. The resolving clause of a joint resolu? tion to authorize the County Commis? sioners of Oconce County to levy a spe? cial tax for building a court house was stricken out. Most of tho day's session was spent in reading a second time a large number of bills from tho calendar, whioh were ordered to bo engrossed for a third reading. A concurrent resolution from tho Senate to pay Judge J. J. Wright tho uupaid balance of nu appropriation for the payment of tho salary of Judgo H?ge, was passed and returned to the Senate. A DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.-Tho Pitts? burg Poul, the leading Democratic news? paper iu Western Pennsylvania, belioviug that the victory of the party depends upon persistcuco and a sound policy, makes tho following suggestions as to the futuro course of tho Democracy in relation to the issues presented: 1. To ignoro dead issues, but never abate a single principle. 2. A firm reliance in tho Constitution, and a restoration of its vital fuuetions where they have been impaired by radi? cal legislation. 3. Equal taxation; thc strictest main? tenance of tho public faith; a common currency for tho whole people, founded j upon a sound and reliable basis; placing the public debt upon tho basis demanded by justice aud sound financial policy; the creation of a public reveuuo founded upon just principles and tho abolition of present iniquitous and oppressive reve? nue laws. 4. Tho protection of industry against the oppression of moneyed monopoly. 5. A reduction of office-holders, aud a consequent cessation of tho present ex? travagant expenditures of tho general, as well as State and municipal governments. C. A reduction of taxes, and adequate legislation to compel tho holders of tho public indebtedness to bear their proper share of tho burdens of sustaining tho Government. 7. A just and equitable sj'stem of rep? resentation in Congress, by which the Now England States shall not bo allowed a disproportionate number of Represen? tatives and Senators, and tho West shall receive its just proportion. 8. Tho restoration of all the States to nu equal footing in tho Union, and thc abrogation of all test oaths and disfran ! chisiug enactments, either by Congress j or so-callod Stato Legislatures or con I ventious. A free Government, main? tained aud perpetuated by a free ballot. 9. A strict definition, according to tho lotter and spirit of the Constitution, of tho powers, rights and duties of each of the three co-ordinate brunches of tho Government, confining each within its proper sphere, and repressing each in its aggressions upon the others. The Post is of tho opinion that on such a lino of policy as is here indicated, there would bo recruits onough from the libe? ra! and conservative wing of the Repub? lican party to insure a majority in the lower .House of the next Congress, and j ultimately to accomplish the complete I overthrow of the radical party.

At the municipal election held io Salt Lake City, on the 11th instant, the "Gentiles" (opponents of Mormonism) ran a ticket, but the "Orthodox," or Brigham Young ticket, succeeded by a large majority. Some few women voted, bat we are told, by a despatch, that the authorities discountenanced it. A girl in Chester, Vermont, died a few days ago, from tight-lacing. For several months previous to her death, this poor victim had been obliged to sleep with corsets on and tightened to the last notch, for tho loosening- gave snch pain, internally, that she could not bear it.
