COLUMBIA, S. C, _- - J '*_:_:_?-_ Thursday Morning:, March 3,1870. - i ,r, ? ???? ,- 1 -rrl i.h ?????? ? l?ljg=gi 'Boot' Hog, or Die. The negro's futuro ia thus vividly fore? shadowed by tb? Kalian, while congratu? lating its readers upon the triumph' of the fifteenth amendment: "The agitation against slavery has reached-an appropriate and triumphant conclusion, and the negro, from, being the subject of the strangest struggle in the'nIsfofyo? civilization, sinks into the rank of tut ordinary- and scmowhat heavily weighted Wayfarer on ; tho d nsty and Iwrgged highway bf comp?tition.'' In other waaia, his deatiruyis to be the same as Wendell Phillips proscribed to Greeley th? other day : < 'Root hog, or ^?d?*' .", ??ph.e time we always warned him of is upon him. Used ?sa mere tool in tho hands of ' political tricksters to secure the success of their policy and degrade tho South to the Utmost limit, he is now to be dropped as a useless, worn-out too), If o more golden promises of forty acre? ?nd a male, and no more appropriation It ia now au pp os ed that his natural antipathy to the white race and^his exoitod passions will eufBco to preserve su?? a living heil in the South as to effepbaaBy provent its overthrown intelieotnal ?ha political power from over rising; agWt.to confront Northern ideas; and thus they ieavo him! ? They know that p^?bleyrefined and wealthy peo? ple" ffitiat grjodoaliy emigrate under such a state of society, and ibo addition thus aggregated to the North in population, wealth and intellect, must In timo nid in drawing that line of political and social demarcation between th? two, which will confirm the necessity, already in contemplation, of governing the Booth directly as a dependency. With a de? based, degraded population of diggers, delvers and toilers of all shades of color and species of nationalities, the real seat of empire must necessarily bo forever afterward centred at the North. We find confirmation 1 of this project in every move now being made or foreshadowed upon the poli tic al chess-board. And the question of destiny, thus confronting the negro, assumes alarming propor? tions. Cast off and abandoned, this race, ever heretofore dependent upon the white, bas now to decide whether, by creating insensate dissensions in endea? voring to force an equality denied them even by the God of nature, they are to carry themselves and the country they live in headlong to destruction; or whe? ther, by living on terms of harmony with the white race, they may still preserve in the land, elements of advancement aud of power, which, in time, may work out for them a grander destiny. In con? sidering this question, they should real? ize, that as a race, they are as much chained to tho soil, by reason of their poverty, as they were before onfruuehise rnent, and whatever be tho fato of tho country, they cannot escape it. On tho other hand, the whites, by superiority of intellect, means and capacity, can always leave and will leave for new fields of life, if subjected to the uubcarablo exactions now meditated by the violent und unthinking. Wealth always centres at thc homes of commerce. Agricultural people are in? variably poor as communities, aud if tho South is reduced to a mere agricultural couutry, as it will be unless wise counsels guide the negro in this, the day of his great peril, a life of toil and peuury will be eutoiled upon his posterity, to rise from which every effort made will prove abortive. To whom is he indebted to? day for his schools and other advantages, but to the taxes realized from a commu? nity held together only by considera? tions of contentment and prosperity? Destroy these, and with the commercial decay which will then set in, will fade away all his chances of enlightenment and progress. The Government which freed him, or rather the people compos? ing it, now throw him overboard, to sink or swim iu tho great strngglo of life. They do so with tho confession that he j is "heavily weighted," and his prospects j aro poor. It remains for him to think whethor he is prepared for tho plunge or j not. Deccivod by falso promises, allured by false hopes, he is now to decide his , destiny. Wc aro pleased to find that tho Demo eratic members of tho Legislature did not omit, in the closing days of tho session, to givo their opponents some telling thrusts. STRONG IN DEATH.-It is now charged that Whittemore, true to carpot-bag in? stincts, sold his seat ia the Houso of Rep? resentatives to Mr. Bonton, of New Hampshire. "It appears, howovor, that the retiring member was 'unfortunate' also in this speculation; for Mr. Farns? worth, who knew Borne of the 'rulos,' hud 'negotiated' with tho door-keeper, whose perquisite it is (like that o! hang? men of old) to appropriate the parapher? nalia of executed members, and whoso prior claim und transfer could not be snccossfully 'contested.'

This being so, how is the city expenses j to bo kopt up? all citizens must be aware that the municipal government requires money to carry oh its various parts, such as street, police, water, poor and other* departments; besides the interest on the city debt. Subsequent to this year's taxation, the merchants poid the tax, in a great measure; they were compelled tb make quarterly returns of sales, and pay fifty Cents on the one hundred dollars; but now this is changed, it cannot be enforced. Well, instead of this, a liconee system was adopted, and it was made as equitable as possible, bearing equally on all classes af the citizens.

X. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN MARION.-A spe? cial despatch to tire Charleston Courier, dated Marion, S. O., March 1, says: A destructive fire occurred to-day, by which nearly half of tho public square is in ashes. Thirteen: buildings were destroyed; loss 830,000 or $40,000. Mr. Iseman, one of our old citizens, perished in the flames, Tho fire originated in a large new store and dwelling, owned by Knox & Gill, of Baltimore, occupied by Henry Clark & G. Bichard, merchants. A largo store and dwelling owned by E. Baum, and occupied as a store by W. H. Crawford, and a silvershith shop, by U. Steel; double law office owned aud occu? pied by B. F. Graham; ou the same lot the bakery of Kate Harllee; the Crescent building, owned by C. E. McMillan, and containing two stores, une occupied by J. Northrop, the other by J. A. Durham & Co., as a grain depository; also two offices, one occupied by the County Treasurer, and the other by Evans & Evans, as a law office, and the priuting office of the Crescent, were burned. From this largo building hardly anything was saved. W. C. McMillan's drug storo aud the buildings containing McMillan's drug store, Ferguson's photograph gal? lery, aud the medical offices of Drs. Singletary and Legette Mingo, Bowell's grocery, belonging to the estate of God bold, and Dr. D. G. Price's office, were also destroyed. Most of the suffers were partly insured. BLOODY AFFRAY.-A desperate aud fatal affray occurred in a? bar-room iu Morganfield, on Friday last, which re? sulted in the almost instant death of one man, and the severo, if uot fatal, injury of another. It is said that a good-na? tured conversation had been going on between Henry Payne and Heury Weil, when Payne made a remark disparaging to German citizens. Weil resented the insult offered to his race, whereupon Payne drew a pistol and shot him through the heart. Immediately upon being shot, Weil seized un irou poker and struck Payne upon the head, inflict? ing severe, if not fatal, injuries. Parties 1 interfered, and told Weil not to kill Payne. He replied, "Ho has killed me, and I want to kill him if I can before I die," and then he fell and instantly ex I pired. It was thought Payne would also die. REVENUE RAID NO. 3.-The last expe? dition of the Spartanburg Revenue Corps, as far as we could learn, was a very dull and common-place affair. A fuw stills were captured-still houses burned-distillers arrested, and some bacon, sugar and coffee and a few horses confiscated. We would be pleased if some of the revenue officers would cite us to tho law which authorizes the con? fiscation of the property of a distiller, which is not used in connectiou with the manufacture of whiskey, such as farm horses, sheep, hogs, chickens, bacon, s.igar, coffee und kitchen furniture. \Spartanburg Spartan. Aminer in Michigan mot on untimely death not long ago, and one of his friends interested himself in obtaining subscrip? tions for the bereaved widow. He col lected some $600, and then, thinking it might be a good thiner for him to marry the three days* widow, proposed, was ac? cepted, and they were made ono that same eveuing. FIRE.-Wc regret to learn that tho ' dwelling of Mr. Henry D. Mahoney, ? about fifteen milos from Sumter, with ? ail his household and kitchen furniture, family supplies, clothing, Sec., wuro de? stroyed by fire on tho morning of tho 26th ult.-Sumter Watchman.

I^NT.r-Yeeter?^t Maeeh ?, wM~A?b Wednesday, the commencement of Lent, whieb, fh the Ron>?i Cs&olty and Pro? testent Episcopal c^u rents i* a fast of forty days immediately preceding Easter. Tbe origin of this fast has been dis? puted, bat it id generally regarded as a preparation for Easter, and a time espe? cially set apart for repentance over the sins of the past year;- while the number of forty days devoted to it is thought to haye r?f?rence to tile Saviour's forty flays' fast in the wilderness, to the forty days ol the deluge, the forty years' wanderings of the Jews, the forty days granted to the Ninevites for repentance, or the time spent in fasting by Moses and Elias. Saint Jerome speaks of the fast as a memorial of the Saviour's passion. According to tho same writer, as well as St. Leo, St. Augustine, and most of tho fathers of the fourth and fifth centuries, it was instituted by the apostles, although Protestants commonly hold that it was not established until tho second or third century. It seems to have been made obligatory at least as early as the middle of thc second century. At first there was great diversity in the time and man? ner of its observance. Its duration was soon fixed by the chnrcH at thirty-six days, to which four were subsequently added. Ash Wednesday derivesits name from a custom which still prevails in tho Roman Catholic Church, of sprinkling the head or forehead witlf ashes. To roll oneself in the dust, to cover the head with ashes, was, in primitive times, a mark of profound grief. A man who ap? peared with his body, hair, and dress covered withgdust, announced by such exterior his mourning and affliction. Examples of this are frequent in Scrip? ture, being mentioned in Job, the Kings, the Prophets, and also the Qospels. Da? vid, to express the bitterness oflhis grief, says he ate ashes like bread. In the first centuries of Christianity, when public penance was imposed, ashes were cast upon the heads of thoso who were con? demned, and they were obliged to stand without the gate of the ohurch amid the lamentations of the people within. Tho ceremonies of Ash Wednesday in Roman Catholic countries are a continuation of this primitive usage. Cur MUS.-Columbia is bare of amuse? ments-the Legislature bas adjourned.

REVHOLW LECTURE,- Thia rev erond gentleman d olivo rod a highly en? tertaining and iaatructivo leotare, on Tuesday evening last, in the Washington Street Chapel, before tho Young Men's Christian Association. A large number of hearers, of both sexes, were present. This Association having adopted the plan of monthly lectures, on subjects snch as nany be solect'ed by th? lecturer, to which the public are invited, and Dr. Reynolds having kindly responded to the request, to lecture on this occasion, we bad the pleasuro of hearing an elaborately, pre* pared address, most admirably delivered. Tho subject was "Knowledgo." Oora menoicg with a clear definition of tho word as signifying the fruits of observa*t\ Hon and reflection, the lecturer firatolearly pointed out the mode ot acquiring know ledge in every sphere of action, and then incited the motive in the mind of every heater to aspire to knowledge, hy- a very able presentation of its practical value, ita moral importance, its social charms and its innate beauty. "Wo do not pre? tend to present a review or analysis of the address.. But certainly it had .the effect of exciting the wish, that onr peo-, pie would pursue much more earnestly that method of oral instruction by which tho public mind of tho ancient Athenians was put in close connection with, the thoughts aud teachings of their great philosophers and poets, and by means of. ' which reflected, light that public mind i attained a height with which the most i advanced of modern civilization would ill compare. j Tho Young Men's Christian Associer tion is certainly indebted to . Prof. Reynolds for the valuable contribution he has bestowed to the furtherance of their design of "moral, social and intel: lectual improvement;" and the commu? nity is indebted to both for having pre? sented thc means of spending an hoar otherwise perhaps idle, or worse than idle-in a manner so pleasing and profi? table. Wo hope that the young men will go on steadily io their efforts, until they have firmly established their valua? ble scheme, and that others will follow the example of Prof. Reynolds, and be? stow a portion of labor which could not be better spent. "Wc ask leave to add, that the Associa? tion (as was announced at the lecture) has opened a very agreeable reading room in the new building of Scott, Williams & Co., on Main street, up stairs. Wc observe an effort being made in Charleston to open a reading room for the mercantile and mechanical classes. This is one of the objects of the Associa? tion here, and in the reading room they design having the ablest periodicals in all ? the divisions of literature, learned pro I fessions, commerce and mechanical science. The contribution is small, and persous are requested to visit the room. P. Cantwell-Fish, Fish. LIST OF NEW AOVEUTISEMENTS. D. C. Peixotto ?k Son-Valuable Lots, Ac. li.
