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.

RADICAL. 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?

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.

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

j ultimately to accomplish the complete

"Thia medicine is rapidly gaining confi?
dence of the people, and tho numerous testi?
monials of its virtnes, given by practitioners of
medicine, leaves no doubt that it is a safe and
roliable remedy for IMPURITY OF THE DLOOO,
MYER OISEASE, AC."
The last Medical Journal contains an arti?
e's' from Prof. B. S. Newton, M. D., Presider*
of tho E Medi-Colloge, city or Now York."'
speaks in high terras of its curative pi
ties, and gives a special recommendation .
Koskoo to the practitioners of medicino?
Thia ia, wo believe, the first instance whore

Lawrence, its compounder, and also nata

of thc present day. F?O

A FEMALE BEOULATOB.-Woman and her
ncoda. For complaints and irregularities to
which her sex is exclusively liable, HEINITSH'S
QUEEN'S DELIGHT is recommended on the au?
thority of wives, mothers and nurses, who have
tested its tonic and regulating properties, and
'know whereof they speak;" and also with the
sanction of able physicians, who have admi?
nistered the QUEEN'S DELIGHT to their female
patients, in obstinate oases, with the happiest
results. Almost all female complaints aro
? complicated with mental gloom and despon
I doney, tho gent?o and lasting exhilarating
effects of the QUEEN'S DELIGHT is admirably
adapted to auch cases. As a remedy for hys?
teria and mental depression, it has no equal
in the world. Nursing mothers find it an ad?
mirable invigorant. It is highly satisfactory
that this preparation should prove so emi?
nently beneScial to the sex. Young and old
will find relief always. For sale by FISHES A
