COLUMBIA, S. Cl _,-1-:-:-. - Saturday ?Ioruins, March 12,1870. . 'Fighting Im Detail"-The View* or th? Cheater Reporter. In an article on the political situation in this State, and on the views expressed by different journals, our ootemporary of the Chester Reporter says: "The Charleston News, after having exhausted ita ingenuity in constructing Democratio platforms, suddenly lays them all aside as rubbish, and runs np the colora o? the Citizens' Party. The PBOZHTX, pursuing the even tenor of its w.ay, is for sticking to the old name and organization; bnt thinks it best to draw it mild-to have some kind of a pro Eressive, conservative Democracy. The . aurenaville Herald is for a bold, square, stand-up fight, under the old organiza? tion add old colors. The views of these three able ootemporariea fairly represent the different shades of opinion expressed by the opposition press of the State. Now we don't agree fully with any of them." The Reporter goes on to explain why, in its judgment, the term "Democrat" should be eschewed, but why the term "Cititem' Parly" should be discarded, and goes on to remark : ???But lest we may seem hypercritical, a'ud illustrate the.old truism that it is much easier to pull down than to build up, we frankly own that we are in favor of no Organization, and consequently of no Hame. The policy of the opposition party, in our judgment, is to toko tho platform some time ago proposed by thc Union Times-opposition to official dis? honesty-and urge a guerrilla warfare all over the State against tho party in power; leaving it to each County to adopt whatever measures may seem best to secure the election of honest men to the Legislature. By this plan, the radi? cals will be prevented, in great measure, from consolidating the terrible enginery of their League agaiust us. Fighting them in detail, they will have to fight us ia detail. We can bang away at them from behind every rock of principle, we can keep up a running fire from behind all the rascalities and thieveries they have committed, we can, to a great ex? tent, prevent concert of action among them, and will thus be enabled to out off many of their bummers and foraging parties. To secure one or the other brauch of the Legislature in the hands of honest and capable men, is the thing we must lend all our efforts to. And to accomplish this, the plan suggested by us, seems the most hopeful of success." Our cotemporary will allow us to say, that we regard its mode of fighting os fatal in the extreme. The anti-radicol i8ts of South Carolina have before them a disciplined body, under admirable party drill. To fight this party "in de? tail," is for us to be whipped ' !iu detail. " Not in this way will the State be re? deemed from the control of the domi? nant party. Tho fact of thc matter is simply tliia: We must consent to defeat in some Counties, iu order to bo successful in others. Comrades of the Reporter, let u.s have a line of battle extending from the sea? board to the mountains, and let not this line be broken at "old Chester." Nor need yon sink tho name DEMOCRATIC. That name is historic. Rightly inter? preted, it means no harm to the negro. And let this be borne in mind, that the colored voter, as a guueral thing, vote? tho radical ticket, not because he hates the term DEMOCRAT, but becauso ho clings to the term RADICAL. YOU can toll him off" from radicalism no sooner with one party name thau with another. We may have made Democratic blunders in 1808. Why need they be repeated? No! we need uo new. party-no new name. We may need a change of linen or a change of shoes. As the New York World suggests, because tho Democratic party may be paring its nails, let no ono suppose that it is disintegrating. Again-wo notice that the Reporter alludes to us as "pursuing the even tenor of our way." Tho Reporter does us jus? tice in saying this. Amid the doubts and varying suggestions that have boen made, we have moved steadily on, advocating a plain, direct, active, consistent pro? gramme. Under tho Democratic Hag which we upraised in 1SG8, wo stand now, changing only so far as it is neces? sary to meet new issues, and to acknow? ledge accomplished facts. Now, as thcu, we seek to recover the State from tho dominant party. Now, as thou, we ad? vocate political reform, industrial activity, popular enlightenment and white immigra? tion, Now, as then, we counsel a mod?? ration which sliall bo "known of nil men"-a faith which lives os-ti fidelity which shall preserve tho "whiteness of our souls," and a resolution which shall meet its fruition only in success. But of one thing we are satisfied-that, after all, these minor differences between us in South Carolina will ultimately be fully adjusted. Tho lino of fight will bo unbroken, and if a gap should occur, ero battle is joined, patriotism will moro on nndclose it up. How eau this be doubted, when the spirit of our journals is doubt? less zach, us is contained in thc closing lines of the Reporter? "Wo aro not, how j ver, unutterably wedded to eur scheme. These arc the days of suggestions, and we throw ont oars. If the opposition party determine Opon a different course of notion in con? vention assembled, we will give the de? termination of tfeat constan tion attentive consid?ration, and if wo find there ia nothing radically wrong in it aooording to our notious, wo will give it oar warm? est support, ev?n though it may not jump with our ideas of expediency." Correspondence Columbi? Phoenix. WASHINGTON, D. C., March 9, 1870. Ben. Butler has appointed a negro to a cadetship at West Point. This will be the first of his raoe to enter that time honored institution. Ben. did not do this for any love he has for the negro, (it may be for his sister,) bat because ho has a love for tho diabolical. He likes to bo the meanest of his kind, (he is, natu? rally,) but then he feels that he must givo some outward manifestation of it. What bot a spirit of depraved malignity can prompt these men to bo constantly pushing aside their own race and thrust? ing forward an inferior one into places of emolument and honor? Negroes in the Senate of the United States; in our counsels; in our public departments; in the academy at West Point. Nothing except perfect political and social equality will ever satisfy them. Whether this will ever be brought about, is a problem which only time can solve. The investigation by the Military Committee of the sale of cadetships, is making quito a stir among a class of fellows hanging about Washington, who make it their business to get acquainted with each now member of Congress ns soon as he arrives in town. When once iutroduocd they aim to, and, very often, succeed in ingratiating themselves in tho member's favor. The object of this in? troduction is to get Congressional influ? ence to aid them in lobbying bills through Congress, obtaining clerkships in the departments, influencing domestic and foreign Presidential appointments, and securing Government contracts, &c., ?ve. Au effort is of course made to im? press each member with the belief that these fellows are philanthropic, aud are acting iu good faith and for a particular friend. Pomeroy is pressing a bill in thc Senate for curtailing the privileges of tho peo? ple of tho District in the sale of liquor. While he is an advocate of temperance, he has been engaged in so many little money making schemes that we natu? rally think money has more to do with this bill than solicitude for tho welfare of tho people. The effect of tho bill will bo to cat off all small deniers and throw their trade into the hands of tho monied monopolists. The largo dealers can well afford to pay to have the small ones closed ap. We do not mean to say that tho honorable Senator has absolutely sold out to the large men of tho whiskey ring, but that his past history is not so spotless as to vindicate him entirely from suspicion. Lent has for a time practically closed I the gay season here, and each day may be seen many of thoso who have engaged and bcou thoroughly engrossed for the past three months in all tho frivolities uud extravagance of Washington society, wending their way to church with prayer? book iu hand to ask forgiveness for the past, and for grace to do better next win? ter. Fashionable people havo fashiona? ble places of resort, occordiug to the season o? the year. Summer time brings the sea-shore with it3 ooqnetting; winter time, tho city with its operas, aud its elaborate entertainments and receptions; spriug time brings lent, and the church with its long faces its contrite hearts, and ita spirits of devotion. These places of resort are very necessary, each iu its , way. The sea-shore to bring health, and I build up the constitution which has beeu I pulled down by dissipation; tho city to I parade beauty, accomplishments and i wealth, to make political combinations aud to aggregate power; tho church to ! atoue for the shortcomings of tho past, : and to ask for hotter success in tho fa j turo. The season here jost ended has been : remarkable for ouo feature, a perfect . monomania of the people to have their I names paraded before the public iu the j newspapers. Every entertainment hail j to bo thronged with reporters, and they I were expected to have a local in the I morning papers a column and-a-half long. ; There was a time when refined feeling* . revolted at such publicity and shrunk j from public g-.'.zo, but thoso times have departed. t Tho cadetship Committee are now in I vestigating the following cases: Covode, I of Penn.; Pettis, of Penn.; Edwards, ol I Ga.; Callis of Ala.; Blackburn, of La. j Sypber, of La. ; Newsham, of La. ; Vidal, of La.; CoiTroth, of Penn.; Whaley, ol I West Va. ; Good, of Arizona, and Mc j Laue, of Montana, tho most of whoa i were in tho 39th and 4\Utb Congresses. Il ! appears that although money was paie ; in many cases, it was not received by thc ! member, but by some personal friend, j Washington has had moro hotel roon ; during the past winter by nearly ono ? third thau it has ever had before. Twc 1 of tho largest hotels of tho city won ' built last summer, and opened about tlu ! beginning of the present session of Con ! gross. Notwithstanding this increase., j capacity for tho aceotnmodatiou of tin traveling public, all the hotels have boot liberally patronized, and are doing i . thriving business. Each oue tries ti j throw out sumo inducement, and to iu j dividualize itself iu some respect toeatel ! a particular class of trade. Ono tries tc j caleb tho military; ono tho monied uris ! toomey; ouo all tho theatricals; other* ; members of Congress, the Supreme i Court, and old stand-by's who havo beei making their yearly pilgrimages to thi: : "Mecca" for tho past quarter of a ceu tury, and still others who try to muk? themselves agreoablo to all classes o travelers. Some of theso hotels art gaudy, somo slovenly, some comfortabh und some uncomfortable; some feed wei and others starve well, according to tho business capacity, and peculiar notions of their keepers. , Our colored Sonator Rereis assn mes tho dignity appropriate to bis position. As ibo first colored Congressman, bois attracting moro than ordinary attention. So great has boen the proseare upon him from his colored brethren, that he de? clines further to bo disturbed, and has forbidden any cards delivered him while attending to his duties in the Senate. Many from the different parts of the South are now here waiting an opportu? nity to press upon Congress tue pro? priety of appropriating monies for vari? ous internal improvements in their re? spective States. They have railroads, cauals, docks and bridges to build, all of which they claim are of national impor? tance, and as they have received no aid from the Government for tho past ten years, and by virtue of the war, their country has become devastated, it is argued that many of their claims aro just. HOMO. Correspondence of the Phcenix. UNION TOWN, ALA., Murch 7,1870. Mn. EDITOU: TO an observant traveler there is, if I may nee the term, a national consanguinity between the citizens of South Carolina and tho citizens of Ala? bama, that is very palpable. Throughout Georgia there is a peculiar Northern ac? cent, Northern manner, and Northern habit, that is observable in neither South Carolina nor Alabama. Possibly Ala? bama may bo a foster child of South Carolina. Georgia certainly is not. Politically, there is a sympathy ex? pressed in both States for South Caro? lina, and, I think, entirely gratuitously, for I cannot see that we are a whit worse off thau they are. Truly wo are all sub? merged in the slough of rascality and ignorauoc. The Legislature of Alabama, recently adjourned, is a counterpart of our mongrel body, perhaps, if not quito so sombre a hue. Tho lighter shade of Alabama's legislators, however, doesn't betoken greater purity of character, for most of her members aro scallawags, and of all men they are certainly tho most contemptible. Sitting recently in the gallery of tho House, iu Montgomery, I heard the Chairman of the Committee on tho Penitentiary read his report. Before he finished, a negro member sprung to his feet and, without asking the privilege to say a word, simply shouted, "Mr. Speaker, that report is iucorrect; the gentleman says those prisouers that were paddled were not penitentiary prisoners. I know they were, for my friend told me they had on striped clothes." The committee man simply turned and replied: "They were not penitentiary convicts, and if tho gentleman says they were, it is false, and ho tells a falsehood." The negro, without having taken his seat, spread out his arms with a few con? vulsive jerks nud said: "I give tho gen? tleman to understand I thinks ns much of my word as ho do." (?) This ginger? bread fellow was u representative from \ Mobile, aud had recently been admitted j to the practice of law in Alabama. Shades of departed heroes, wheu I sat i and looked upou that scene, und reniern i bcrod that I had from the samo place I drunk in the eloquence of a Yancey, or I been perfectly fascinated with tho bril j liane} of a Hilliard, I could but solilo ! quize, Oh! temporal Oh! mores! Moutgomery is the same relined and i flourishing city it always was. There ie I manifested a degree of thrift and enter ; prise very commendable, but I cannot j uuderstaud what is to add to its wealtl I or population. It is situated iu a fertile I region, but this fertility will be barret capital, unless the population could bo materially iucreased. Westward from Montgomery, only forty-five miles, it tho rival town of Selma, aud tho two will soon be connected by a railroad, aboul i fifty miles long, though heretofore thej I have been 110 milos apart by the river. Selma is at present connected by ar ? almost air liuo of railroad with Vicks j burg, and by another with Rome, Ga, I Wheu the link is finished to Montgo ! merv, (only teu miles incomplete,) th( i two places will bo connected with thc ; seaboard by two routes, and it seems tc : me, in that event, nothing but immigra i tiou will enable tho two cities to main I tain their present population. Eufaula is a very nice, pretty anc wealthy city, iu South-eastern Alabama aud is daily growing larger. All ovei the tow n, new buildings are going up, and tho capital of that section is pro . jei'tiug three railroads-ono nearly com I ploted to Moutgomery; a second up tin ' river to North Alabama, and a third ot . the air line principle to Vicksburg. Th? South-westeru Railroad now connect; j Eufaula with Macon, aud another rail j road is being rapily projected iron i Brunswick, Ga., through Albany t( , Eufaula. Tho capitalists of these vari : otis roads are sauguino that in a fev years this will be tho great thoroughfare i from the Atlautic to the Pacific Ocean from Brunswick to Eufaula, thence tc Vicksburgon to Shreveport, Lo., throng] Marshall, Texas, to California. So mn; : it be, say I. i Opelika is tho Atlanta of Alabama Railroads run in and out of that little ! pince iu a sort of cross aud pile manuer and the ring of tho hammer and the sav is ouly drowned by tho whistle of tho lo i couiotive. As transient trains of can ! caunot increase tho wealth of a town, i i is as wonderful why Opelika grows a: 1 why Atlanta has beaotno a city. The surrounding country is poor, and ye i trade is brisk aud tho towu thrives. The I town whence I am writing is iu the mids I of a very fertile country, aud yet there is an absence of that thrift seen iu Ope lika. j Demopolis was once a most promising ; town, aud is surrounded by a splendit agricultural country; but things appeal stagnant there, and the town of to-daj is no largor than tho town of 1SG?. I occurs to me the simple cause of this is that wherothe landsare poor, the farm: ?re ?mall, and natara require* more en? ergy to make a living; where lands are ?i?tv TtlantaiionH nrn liiroii <?t>d the lands itt the' hands of a fow. Otherwise, I can nob account for the existing state of things. The cotton bett* or cftne-brako And prairie lands- of Alabama, which..lie Wes?of Montgomery,firecortuinly n most inviting country to the planter's eye, sod, in market, oommand a fine price, bat they have failed to make me desire to follow the star of empire. That country is now in the hands of men who will never renovate it. They are large plant?is, who are unwilling to accept the new order of things-are wedded to their old plantation system-cannot control labor as they wish to-are unable to pro care the labor that is necessary to culti? vate the land properly, and consequently are making but a small portion of what that splendid eountry should be made to produce. Labor is very scarce lhere, and, if possible, less systematized thnn in South Carolina. Everybody wants hands and can't get them. Bot more to-morrow. D. W. A. He o o A 1 Items. CRUMBS.-Horse accidents aro all the go. Last week a fine horse, belonging to Col. Patterson, killed himself by run? ning against a post. Yesterday morning, as the circus band was passing, a horse, attached to a buggy, belonging to Mr. Pelham, became frightened and ran into tho open cellar, corner of Main and Plain streets. Thc colored driver jumped out and escaped unhurt. The horse wa.-: slightly cut, and tho buggy somewhat injured. By-the-way, it would improvo the appearance of the streets materially if these traps wero enclosed. Au old colored resideut of Columbia -Richard Holmes-departed this life yesterday, at the age of seventy-two, after a very short illness. He was always regarded as au honest aud upright mau. His funeri.1 services will bc held on Sun? day morning, at 10 o'clock. Grady's circus troupe gave two per? formances again yesterduy. The troupe is a good one-tho ouly draw-back they have is thc bad condition of the horses -travel over tho heavy roads in the South just now is terrible on horse-flesh. Tho "knife impalement" and the "torch feat" were truly wonderful. Our Winns boro friends may look out for something particularly good in the way of arcnic performances. Book and job printing of any kind, executed in the very host styles of the art, can be promptly furnished at the PHOSIX office. A lot of new-style cards, etc., just received. Prices very mode? rate. The Governor has appointed Simeon Corley, Commissioner of Agricultural Statistics, vice Henry Sparnick removed. It would seem, from the telegrams and paragraphs in our exchanges, that the resumption of specie payments, so to speak, is becoming quito prevalent among the retail dealers in various parts of thc country. ETIQUETTE OE THE AGE.-The great want of tho age, says au exchange, is a treatise on etiquette. Chesterfield, D'Orsay and Lunettes each contributed to the literature of their generation valu ble works on this subject, and we regret that no gentleman of tho present age has yet opened ground in such a wide field for improvement. In these days of reconstruction and moral ideas, tho na? tion has naturally looked to some "man of mark," to write an exhausted treatise ou the "manners and customs of this generation." Ahem! Wo will try and fill thc vacuum that has been so "long neglected by other "slap-dash writers," by adopting tho following general hints for tho information of those who arc anxious to strut ia society as a model of thc new order "progressiwo of etiqutte:" lu tho dining-room, no gentleman will sit on tho table, nor is it polite to get under it until too drunk to sit in a chair. Never cat your soup with a fork, nor wash your feet ia the tm ecu when dining out. If you chew tobacco, you must not spit tho juice over the floors when visit? ing; always squirt it ia somebody's hut when the owner is not looking. Young ladies should not clean their toe? nails while in church, as such perform? ances attracts the eyes of tho young men from tho preacher. When promenading with a lady, gen? tlemen should walk on the outside of her. Always give precodenco to age, and never go to tho wash-tub if your mother or grand-mother aro present; they might consider it disrespectful. Always provide yourself with a quau ? tity of pea-nuts when goiug to the ope? ra; they aro healthy. If you seo Jones at tho theatre with a 'young lady, yell out: "Hallo, Joues! , how is your wife?" Jones will think it i funny. If you waut to run for office, nominate yourself. Bo sure you're right, thou ; pitch into political cauldron "until it boils and overruns tho stew" with a vim; then take a glass of ice water, and cool do wu. WEDDING CARDS AND ENVELOPES.-A !ot of wedding cards aud envelopes, of latest styles, has just been received; which will be printed in imitation of en I graving, and at loss than one-tenth the oost. Cali r.nd see specimens at PH CEN rx I office. MEDIC A?. RH-?HION-TN A MU M? THK DOCTOKS.- The supper given at Nicker sous to the atftto Medical Association, bj tho Columbia Medical Society, was the closing instare of tho late meeting hero of medical gentlemen. It fitly crowned an occasion which, we learn, was a most pleasant re-union. We wero invited to attend, and enjoyed our even ins with the members of "the healing art." After discussing the supper and thus meeting the wants of the inner man, then followed the usual feast of senti? ment and flow of sonl. Dr. Samuel Fair presided, and, with Dr. B. W. Taylor, announced tho regular toasts: 1. "The South Carolina Medical Asso dation." This waa responded to by Dr. T. T. RobortsoD, of Winnsboro, the President elect of the Association; who evinced in his remarks that depth of feeling and kindliness of nature which makes him tho popular physician-esteemed alike by associates and patients. 2. "Tue Medical College of the State of South Carolina"-The Ahna Mater ol many historio names in our profession. This sentiment drew out Dr. Kinloch, of Charleston, Professor of Surgery ic the Charleston College. Dr. K. spoke hopefully of the prospects of the college and a^nouueed its purpose to preserve, at all hazards, a high standard of modi cal education. 3. "TheSouth Carolina Unieersity"-A: sho grows in years may her usefulness in crease. Dr. M. LaBorde, of tho University wus naturally called upon to respond Tho Doctor indulged iu the most interest iug reminiscences of the past in conuec tion with the University, and paid ai admirable tribute to the profession o medicine, 4. "South Carolina'-The'field of ou labors and tho Stato of our affections. Responded to by Col. J. P. Thomas, guest, who proposed the following senti ment: "The political re/or mat i on and the in dustrial regeneration of South Carolina" The great public work of the year, th day and the hour-mny each one of us in this behalf, do his full duty, and thu hasten the time when tho hopes of" th Present shall find their fruition in th victory of the Future. 5. "The Benevolent Institutions of tl State"-May their medical officers b able to stand by them, and preserve the: character and usefulness. Dr. Talley, in the absence of D Parker, was called upon to reply. D T., in becoming and graceful style, pai a deserved tribute to Dr. Parker's us fulness at tho Asylum, and said thi thero was but one opinion among med cal men as to Dr. P.'aemiuent fitness fi his responsible post. G. " The Profession of Medicine"-Ma nothing retard its progress. Responded to effectively by Dr. Macki tosh. 7. "The Press, Mediad and General" Whose power and importance all appr ciato. This sentiment received a happy i sponse from Mr. C. P. Pelham, editor the Guardian, and a guest of the evenin 8. "Charleston"-The Queen City tho South-May she preserve her ancie name and ever increaso in prosperity. Replied to by the young and eflicie Secretary of tho Association-Dr. Bail of Charleston-who spoke with chare teristic readiness and etnpressment tho French have it. After this, volu teer sentiments were freely given ai promptly met. Drs. Fair, Gibbes, Taylor, Darby n: Lynch were called out. A sentiment complimentary to tho who develop "the resources of Southe fields and forests," drew out Dr. F. Porcher, tho industrious workor. 1 F. L. Parker, of Charleston, mado effective reply to a complimentary toa and numerous other sentiments w? given. Both Dre. Fair and LaBor amused the company by some details to their early experieuco iu medicii : Finally, at a late hour, tho compauy r i jourued, after a pleasant evening. \ were pleased to learn that tho visiti doctors express themselves highly pleas with their visit aud reception here. Wo omitted to state that Dr. Baruc of Kershaw, made a happy response a sentiment on medical progross, a that Fairfield, Chester, Orangeburg, A beville and Newberry were well rep: seutcd by tho respective delegates I those Counties. The following gentlemen wero elect ' officers of the Stato Medical Associatk President-Dr. T. T. Robertson, Fairfield. vice-Presidents-Dr. S. Fair, of C I lumbla; Dr. R. A.

The Macon Telegraph seems almost driven to despair because the Georgia planters will plant cotton and not corn. This is the way it gives utterance to its woe: "Next spring, perhaps, Georgia will be high and dry on the shoals ot Cape Disappointment, with her bottom stove out and all the boats lost. Cotton down, meat and corn to buy, some $4,000,000 or $5,000,000 of debt to pay for fertilizers, and everything in a weaving way generally. Then we will pay our debts, according to the invaria? ble custom, with a 'relief law,' which won't cost much money, and no great sacrifico of honesty, seeing that we have so often relieved ourselves of that article in times past! But where are the corn and meat to come from? We shall not be surprised to see Georgia catch fits in about a year from this time, and no planter be able to smile bat he who bas a lull com crib aud meat house."
