COLUMBIA, S. C. Wednesday Morning, March 16, 1870. The Q,i?"Btioii of Naturalisation ?nd Ssffravfte. Jost ns the radical party of South Care lina is not disposed really to favor immi? gration to this Stato, so we find that there is a predisposition on tho part of the dominant party in Congress to place re? strictions upon the naturalization of for? eigners. And tho reason for-Ihe policy V is the samo. The question is not whether in the one case, immigrants are needed, or in the second, whether the foreigner is prepared to vote; but the question is, liow will he vole? And thus we see an il? lustration of tho partisanship of the rad? ical party. Well does the Bnltimoro Sun say, "it is nnfortnnate that so few ques? tions can be decided by Congress npon their merits, and with exclusive reference to the public good." And well does the same paper add : "Instead of considering for what party the large number of Germans and Irish arriving almost daily will vote, it might be asked whethor they will not be as well qualified to vote understandingly at the end of three years and a half as of five years, and whether, in view of the great importance of immigration to the United States, we might not run the risk of re? ducing the term of probation without detriment to the interests of the oountry. It onght to be remembered that emigra? tion was a prominent element in the in? fluences which led to onr original policy, not only in regard to naturalization, but to the conferment of political honors. In the Convention which formed the Constitution, Mr. Madison, Mr. Ran? dolph, Dr. Franklin, and others advo? cated a reduction of the term of citizen? ship for the Senate and the Honso, the promotion of emigration being one of their objects, os also to acknowledge the services of foreigners in the revolution, it being stated, in the course of the de? bate that almost all the general officers of the Pennsylvania line of the revolu? tionary army were foreigners. Our own State voted for only a short period ol citizenship for eligibility to Congress. In regard to naturalization, one of the first of American complaints against George HI was that he had obstructed the laws for naturalization of foroiguers, in order to prevent the population ol these States. "Tho naturalization Act of 1790 only required of foreigners a residence of twe years, when, on application to any court of reoord in any State where the appli? cant had resided for one year, making proof of good character, and taking thc oath to support tho Constitution, he could be admitted to citizenship. Thc law was so loosely drawn as not even tc require a renunciation by the applicant of his allegianoe to his native sovereign such was the eagerness to extend induce monts to foreigners to emigrate to tbi: country, nt a timo when our popnlatiot was but little more than 3,000,000, ant we needed emigration to bring into cul tivution our vast unsettled domain, anc strengthen us against foreign and domes tic enemies. Although more stringen requirements were afterwards adopted it is undeniable that liberal legislation ot this subject was the earliest policy of thi country, ns it was, in the language of Mr Mudisou, 'in nil tho constitutions uuc publications of America.' Dr. Fruuklii Baid, in tho Convention that framed tin Constitution, that 'we found, in tin course of the resolution, that man] strangers served us faithfully, and tba many natives took part against theil country;' und it may be added that ii tho laBt war with Eugland foreigners gal landy fought for us by sea and land while some of our own citizons cou sidered it unbeoomi'g to rejoico ii American victories. In point of fact tho ouly true natives of this continen aro tho American Indiaus. This country unlike the old-settled communities o Europe, is new, as well ns essentiull; European, being only a fow centuries re' moved from tho first foreigners who set tied it, and to whom it is indebtod fo all its muniments of human diguity uni human rights. There would, therefore seem to bo every inducement of gratitud' aud of expediency, as well as of justice for diminishing, instead of increasin, tho restraints upon acquiring citizenship especially at a moment wheu the Govern ment is about to proclaim universal sui frage, without regard to race. The tos for admission ought, in all cases, to l> that of qualification, but sinco that i disregarded in nativos, it might not b right to require it of foreigners, thougl they are us well informed of tho oblige tions of good citizeuship as many o those admitted to suffrago." We fully concur with the Sun in thea views. It is tho duty of Congress t decrease rather than to increaso the prc bationary term of aliens proposing t become citizens. Now that universi suffrage has been decreed, lot us huv fair play. If the ignorant negro mau : allowed to vote, let the intelligent fo: eigner not romain long without a vote. Immigration has dono wonders for th country. Lot the National Democrat Party, at least, champion tho forciguer cause. Immigration will do much fe South Carolina.

OARDOZO, Secretary of Str.te. - ... - VERMONT.-Tho Democracy have ct icd the city of Burlington for thc fi (imo in the history of tho Stale PS?SIDBNT GRANT'S Lisa THREATENED BX A LUNATIC. -President Grant, aooom ?anted by hie son, while walking down ennsylvania avenue, yesterday enjoying tho Ano weather, waa followed the whole distance by a suspioioos-looking man, named Terrence Cassidy, who al divers times attempted to draw the President into conversation. As this wai refused, he threatened President Grant with as? sassination and showered abuse upon him. The President at first did not heed him, but as the man kept on following him, he called officer McCathran, on the corner of Ninth street and Pennsylvania avonue, requesting him to take Cassidy into custody, as he was evidently crazy. McCathran arrested him, and the man was taken to the Central Guard-house. Cassidy is an Irishman by birth, about forty-seven years of age, and tolerably well known in this city. He lives on G street, near the Presidential Mansion, and has often been at the White House for the purpose of seeing President Grant, and on being refused admittance he hus cursed him and the offioer on du? ty there, causing his ejectment from the Executive Mansion. Those who know Cassidy do not at all doubt his insanity. Tho affair was witnessed by a large number of people on the aveuue, and excited much comment. In the ranks of the Pontifical Zouaves at Borne is one whose name appears on the roll as "Lalicki, ne Anthropopha? gite." Somewhere in the Polynesian archipelago there is an eccentric popula? tion which still preserve the good old traditions of anthropophagy. There was bom the Zouave; he was the off? spring of honest though cannibalistic parents, who were kings in their tribo. Once a numerous family, all have now disappeared-victims to the demon of play. For it appears that these canni? bals are devoted to the gambling table, and, when they have lost all that men can lose, including their arms, their children and their wives, put themselves up as stakes, und the winnor oats tho loser. Thus perished, after a game of Polynesian faro, the entire, family of young Lalicki. It seems that tho boy was included in the bet, but he managed to escape while his papa and mamma were on tho spit, and was received by Borne pious missionaries, who put bim to school, taught him his catechism, and then, when he was old enough, sent him to Rome, to show that even royalty was proud to mon ut gunrd at the palace of tho Popes. SHORT RULES IN Ru?an ECONOMY. Paint all tools exposed to the weather, and if with a light colored paint, they will not heat, warp or crack in the sun. Dip well seasoned shingles in a lime wash, and dry them before laying, and they will last much longer, and not be? come covered with moss. Dip tho end of nails into grease, and they will drive easily into hard wood, where they would otherwise double aud break. In plowiug or teaming on tho road in hot weather, always rest the horse on an eminence, where one minute will be worth two in a warm valley. In setting out young orchards, always register tho varieties immediately in a book, whore they may bo referred to in a few years, when the trees commence bearing, and tho labels aro lost, and names are forgotteu. In laying a garden for fruits and vege? tables, place everything in drills or rows, so that they may be cultivated by a horse, and thus save the expense of hard labor. When board fences become old, and the boards begin to come off, nail up? right, facing strips upon them against each post, and the boards will be held to their places, aud tho fonces last several years longer. GENTLEMEN'S FASHIONS FOR SPRING. For walking frock and half-dress coats, fancy colored clothes, crepes, patelot mixtures aud diagonals, will be the favorite goods. lu fancy styles for panta? loons, plaids will be much worn, although the leading tendenoy is toward stripes. Side bands very small or omitted entirely. The material for vests will be the same as for coats, or when varied from them, fancy cashmeres will be used. For business suits nothiug has super? seded the Scotch ohenots, and they will remain the favorites for summer wear. There will be many new colorings in plaids and mixtures, of which tho black and brown shades will be most popular. Coats, generally, will be out short and the roll of tho kippels somewhat reduced. For street coats, walking frocks will pre? vail; and for business purposes, English walking coats, with side pockets on hips. For the warmest weather, sack coats, as usual, will be most popular. Pantaloons will bo larger at lower part of the leg, with increased spring over tho foot. Vests, oither sigular or doubled-brosted, aud medium roll. The story circulated that some negroes in the neighborhood of the Punch Bowl, just above Natchez, had recently found an iron-bound box containing some thirty thousand dollars in Spanish coins, supposed from their dates to have been buried by DeSoto over 300 years ago, is a hoax. Tho fact is that a number of negroes, influenced by an old voudoo woman, had been digging diligently in the locality named, and they continued to dig until their patieuce, food and money were all exhausted, and finally had their labor for their pains. PRIVATE EXECUTION.--Judge Carpenter has decidod that tho execution of Friday Nixon, colored, to take place on the 24tn of this mouth, shall bo strictly private no one being admitted into the jail-yard but tho officers and their assistants. [Charleston News, This praotioe has been in voguo in most of the Northern States, to use a Yankeeism, "for quito a spell." A. wringing machine-tho income tsx. NEW HAMPSHIRE.-If the Democrats had been tm o and oompact in New Hampshire, they might have gained the victory in the late election. Bat they were false and foolish, and so defeated. The Herald woll soya that "abominable dissensions and atrocious and incon? ceivably stupid conduct of the Demo? cratic managers have plucked from the Democracy of New Hampshire tho plume of leading the Democracy of the nation to cor tain success in 1872." Gen. Bsdel, the Democratic candidate, was virtually put aside, nt the eleventh hour, in favor of the Labor Union can? didate. Protesting against this misera? ble dodge, he thus wrote: "If ruin is to be the order of the day, my skirts shall bo spotless. No act of mine shall be cited by friend or foe, ns tending in that direction. Let what will come, I mean always to be true to prinoiple and to the interests of my State and country. ***** N0 personal ambition shall ever be permit? ted to swerve my course to one side or the other of what I deem to be right in the eyes of God and mau. But the idea of a party of thirty odd thousand iu the State of New Hampshire selling out to a party of 'great expectations, ' seems to me suicidal; but, perhaps, some prefer suicide to awaiting a natural death." Tho Democracy of all tho States must purge the temple and stick to principle, or elso be contented with defeat. [A ugusta Constitutionalist. A RAI? AT THE GIRLS.-Au Omaha lec? turer thus discussed the question tho other night: "Twenty years ugo, tho ladies were their own dress-makers, and how beauti? ful they looked to tho bravo men who then courted them. Then, they wore no hoops, no switches, no uuythiog, but wero just as God made them. A lover could then tell whether his love weighed 100, 80 or 75 pounds; could tell ut a glance what she was. But now they could not tell whether tho girl was made by tho dross-maker or by God; they looked her over, and were not sure she was not half cotton; touched ber head, and didn't know whether they felt na? ture's hair or a musty waterfall. Twenty years ago. we were all better, looked better, and were better Christiaus. Wo had progressed for the worse, and as we continued, so would tho boys follows." Sinco thc story has been told of how Judge Breckiuridge married a girl whom he saw jump over a rail fence with a pail ou her he.ul, all tho girls io Orange County, New York, are said to spend thoir time in watching the road; and whenever they soe a carriage approach? ing with a mau in it, they seize thoir pails and go for a fence. GOOD FIGHTING.-The report of tho fight between twenty-nine Indians of the Crow tribe and a party of Sioux, in which the Crows fortified themselves and tho Sioux carried their breastwork by an attack in front, the leader falling dead on the rampart, shows that the Indians can imitate the white man's style very well when the occasion comes. The Commissioner of Internal Revenue bas decided that fines and penalties im? posed for violations of law are not de? ductible from income as tax. He bas also decided that depositors in savings banks are required to return and pay tax upon the interest accruing to them upon the amount of their deposits. A rich man died in Muiue recently, and his last words to his heirs were: "Fiant me as soon as I am cold, and don't cart me around for a side-show. Remember Peabody." He was buried according to his request, aud is now en? joying himself. In Vermont, recently, a little girl fell into the water, was carried down uuder the ice for about five rods, went over a seventeen foot dam, and passed through aa under-ground race-way, for a dis taace of fifteen rods, to another dam, aud was thea recued alive, aod is doing well.

STRUCTED," WHTLST ENTERING "THE LOYAL LEAGUE IN CHESTER."-Our lively cotemporary of the Chester Reporter gives the following amusing account of thc adventures of two of tho sons of Chester who recently determined to join the fortunes of tho "Hamites" of that town. By tho way, cannot somo of our readers give us the mode of entering Janncy's upper room on "League" nights? We learn that the Loyal League of this city is now holding its secret meetings very frequently, and rumor states that several whites of the city-some of them blatant Democrats not long siuce-have recently joined the "Hnmites" here-or as the Chester Reporter expresses it, have had their tuils eui off. Tho Reporter snys : "So it has been said and sung. But we venture the assertion that two enter? prising individuals of Chester, who lately worked their way into tho League, are prepared to say that tho route they took is by loug odds a harder ono than the traditionary Jordan. It was one of tho coldest nights of the winter-the rain poured iu torrents-the organiza? tion, 'which maybe as good as a church,' was in session-when our two quondam friends were escorted to a position near the old building where the council was assembled, and placed there nnder g jard preparatory to being called in and strip? ped of their manhood and deoency. They were informed that they would have to wait only a few minutes, when the body would be prepared to receive them iu due form, and hear from their own lips the Btory of their repentance. But to their amazement tho timo rolled on, minutes grew iuto hours, they were drenched to the skin, they were frozen to the bone, and the call for them to enter did not come. Fain would they have retraced their steps and regained tho comfort of their firesides; but the sable friends by their side stopped the way, and gently said unto them, thus far have you gone, and you shall go farther. So there they stood biding 'the pelting of as pitiless a storm' 'as e'er poor devil was abroad in,' until some three hours 'ao?t the twa,' when tho Grand Con? ductor of the Panjandrum came to their relief and told them that the graoious privilege of entering, which is accorded to tho most unworthy, had been granted them. With chattering teeth, shivering limbs and hanging heads they passed within the portals. They had earned their reward. "Tho reason for such treatment may very properly bo asked by our readers. Some might like to know whether this ordeal has to be passed through by all desiring to leave their race and go over body ?iud soul to tho Hamities. Such wo think is not the case. The delay and punishment inflicted upou the two enter? prising individuals whose exploits wo are narrating arose in this way. They had sounded around among somo of the council, and had been assured that there would be no objeotion to their admis? sion, and wero advised to bo on hand the night in question for initiatiou. But, as has been said by Cunningham, "Tho boat laid pinna of mice and men Oang aft a-gley." "No sooner were the names of our two unfortunates proposed by their friends than at once there rose within that old building a clamor and an uproar, "AB if all the Honda from Heaven that foll" were that night gathered there. One heavy African-'black, grim and large' who has for many a day cracked his whip over tho said council in much the same manner that Sumner has cracked his over tho United States Senate, and who doubt? less has in days past received many a well merited chas'iscmont just as Sunnier did, took the floor, aud roaring liko a bull of Bashan, said that there ho took his stand, and there ho intended to stand to keep ono of the unfortunates from ever coming in among them. Ho was backed up by others. Tho foxes who had not long before had their tails cut off meekly begged that the foxes waiting for admis? sion might have leave to como in and get their tails cut off too. But the oppo? sition was too strong. Hour after hour was spent iu all mauner of jargon -cri? mination and recrimination waH tho occupation of tho hour-until finally, about 3 o'clock, as beforo said, the talent and persistency of tho white maa pre? vailed over the ignorance and weakness of tho negro, and tho vote was 'aken that relieved tho suffering outsiders from thoir uncomfortable position. They at I once came in aud had their tails out off." CHUM ne.-We bave been requested to call tbe attention of tbose interested to tbe fact, tbat the Board of Trustees of tbe Columbia Female College will hold a meeting, this morning at ll o'clock, at the Bending Boom of the Young Men's Christian Association. At a radical cnucus, last night, held at Jnnney's Hall, John Alexander, Esq., received the nomination for Mayor of this city. Thero were three other aspir? ants.

For complaints and irregularities to which lier sex is exclusively liable, HEINITSU'S QUEEN'S DELIOIIT is recommended on the au? thority of wivos, mothers and nurses, who have tested its tonic and regulating properties, and ''know whereof thoy speak;" and aleo with the sanction of ablo physicians, who have admi? nistered the QUEEN'S DELIOUT to their female patients, in obstinate cases, with tho happiest results. Almost all female complaints aro complicated with mental gloom and despon? dency, the gent?o and lasting exhilarating effects of the QUEEN'S DELIGHT is admirably adapted to such cases. As a remedy for hys? teria and mental depression, it has no equal in tho world. Nursing mothers lind it au ad? mirable invigorant.

Tho last Medical Journal contains an arti? cle from Prot'. R. 8. Newton, M. D., Proshtant of tho E Medi-Collego, city of New York, tnat speaks in high terms of its curativo proper? ties, and gives a special recommendation of Koskoo to thc practitioners of medicino. This is, wo behove, tho lirst instance where such medicines havo boen officially endorsed by tho Faculty of any of tho Medical Colleges, aud rotlects great credit upon thc skill of Dr Lawrence, its compounder, and also puts "Koskoo" in tho VAN of all other medicines nf thc present day.
