COLUMBIA; S. C. Wednesday norning:, March 50. 1570. A Point Bu P?M*nt. The Winnsboro New? says: "The PHOENIX ia candid; it wishes the State tacked on the tail of the Northern Democracy, and 'will stand alone* on that, if necessary. " We commend oar ootemporary to 'greater exactness of statement, and ask that ita own inferences be not mixed op with oar sentiments. In national poli? ties, it is trae, that the PHCSDIX is in .coord with the National Democratic or? ganization and io opposition to the National radical party, bat it is not trae that we wish "the State tacked on the tail of the Northern Demooraoy"-to ase .oar co temporary'a phraseology. We would have the State to exert in that or? ganization the Influence that mind* and earnestness exert everywhere, and we desire Sooth Carolina to use her legiti? mate influence in shaping the polioy and SO'directing the courao of the National Demooraoy, as will lead it to the restora? tion of a harmonious Union and the tri? umph of wise and jast principles of "government. The Newe seems to advocate "aeparate State action" in politics. We 'are now in accord with that policy which would place Sooth Carolina in sympathy .with, political friends, North, Sooth, East, and West. We have been whipped ' back into the Union. We accept the situation, and now are in for seeking to have a national part and parcel in the government of a common country. But if oar ootemporary insists upon it that .oar national Hoe' of action is a matter of tail-lacking, then this we have to say, that it is far better for South Carolina to 'bea "caudal appendage" of the Northern Democracy, than for her to bo linked to that party of "Great Expectations" and * 'Small Performances"-called the "Con? servative Republican Party"-which, after all, in its last analysis, is but sugar? coated radicalism, or nauseous physic made easy to take. A VOICE FBOMTHB PEOPLE.-A. towns? man writes us as follows: "I am decidedly in favor of calling an carly convention of all opposed to the present dominant party in this State, with the view of establishing a bettor, .more reliable and economical govern? ment in this State, where the good, honest people - of all classes, white or colored, can live without being ground down by taxation for the benefit of ttye renegade and carpet-bagger, who cares for nothing bat filling their own pockets. .Ia my view the sooner this convention is called the better, so as to fall on some definite plan of notion, that all may fall into the ranks, pursue and reach the point aimed at, the redemption of the State, out of the hands of foreigners, to be governed by the native, bo they white or colored, for tho mutual benefit of all." THE LAURENS KAILKOAD.-This road was to have been disposed of at auction to-day, but Judge Bryan has ordered otherwise, as the following will show: "Ex parte T. J. LaMotte, in re thu 'Laurena Railroad Company. Petition of involuntary bankruptcy. It was or? dered that the Railroad Company show cause on Monday, the Otb of May, at Charleston, why they should not be de? clared bankrupts, aud that Qeorgo W. Waterman, receiver, be enjoined from selling the property of tho said road, as advertised by him." DESTBOOTIVE FIRE. -Ou Tuesday last a destructive fire occurred in thc woods near Hardeevilio Station, on tho Savan? nah and Charleston Railroad. A high wind prevailed ut the time, and the fire spread with great rapidity, destroying almost the entire fencing of Mr. Butler, as also other fences, negro houses, and -crops planted. Many families, by this conflagration, which extends over ten square miles, have lost all they possessed. 'SEBASTOPOL.-The walls of Sebastopol have now beou completely restored, and upwards of three hundred houses have been built ia placo of those which had been ruined by the bombardment. A new church, in the form of a pyramid, built entirely of marble, has been erected in the churcbyacd of the town, the cost of its construction amounting to $140, 000, having been provided by thc Rus? sian royal family. DESERVED COMPLIMENT.-On Saturday Mr. E. Montague Qrimke, the Secretary of the Bourd of Public School Commis? sioners, was made tho recipient of a handsome testimonial in tho shape, of a silver pitcher. Tho lady teachers of tho Normal School were the douors, and Hou. C. O. Memminger made the pre? sen tatian. Appropriate remarks wert; made in leturu by Mr. G ri in ko. [Charleston Courier. Jas. E. Glenn, of Louisiana, Mo., now in his 77th year, is a veteran of tho war of 1812. Ho served in Charleston, in Captain Kendrick's company, from York district, and is tho only remaining one of flvo members of that company who settlod iu that County. The other four, now dead, were Jolla Carroll, Ja?. N. Watson, Welch, Allison, and Andrew Ii >y. Yesterday afternoon B. F. Whitte more, of cadet-hip notoriety, harangued his uegro constituents for about an hour in defeaco o? his course as M. C. lie was replied to hy J. H. Rai ney. Senator to thc L?gislature from this district, who made an excellent speech against Whittc more. - f?eorgetoten limes. A Volca Prosa ah? Country. MR. E?rron: Writing for tb* proas, to nfl Pi ik mnmnn ?T rt r<> oaf n n. "Ia oniirnlw out of roy lino of business." Aud neither do I attempt euoh a thing on this occa? sion, simply for the reason oj seeing some of my Imperfeet scribblings in print; bat for the higher and more lauda? ble purpose of contributing "my mite" towards establishing that policy, and laying down that line of principies which are to be oar beacon light in the future restoration of oar much beloved, down? trodden and almost rained country. The policy held ont by yon, and so ably and consistently advocated from time to time in the columns of yonr paper, meets my hearty approval, and is the only one, ac? cording to my opinion, tbat will wear and stand the test to which it inevitably must be pnt, ere we are through with our many, and, it seems, increasing diffi? culties. And it gives me much pleasure to see that the anti-radical press confer? ence, recently held in your city, have unanimously adopted the same senti? ments. "Honesty is the best policy," says the old adage, and T must confess I cannot see the consist?e cy in a Democrat call? ing himself a conservative, or any other kind of a Republican, according to the general meauibg and common accepta? tion of the term "republican" at this day and time. We all know very well what we expected of President Grant, as a conservative Republican; and we also know full well what we Lave received, and what we still may expect to receive from his administration. Democrat, or if you think it sounds more euphonious, con? servative Democrat, is the inscription for our standard. Let it be emblazoned on our battle-flags, and as we enter the com? ing contest this fall, unfurl them to the breeza and fight the battle under those colors; for under no others will we ever gain that permaneut pence and future prosperity which we so much conrt. In this all-important matter we bave a two? fold task to accomplish. Tho first and most important is the restoration of our own State and the Southern country nt large, from that degree of thraldom and vassalage to which we have been subject? ed, us a class, by a bose and corrupt State administration, holding the reins of go? vernment aud cracking the party whip over us, under the disguised and igno? minious name of lawful legislation. Our next, and not much less important duty, after having "put our own house in or? der," is a united alliance with the na? tional Democratic party, for the ultimate salvation of the Union. "Facts are stubborn things," and there is no sense in "crying over spilled milk," and mak? ing war concerning dead issues. The colored man, however strauge it may se.om to the non-progressive of tho pre? sent ago, is part and parcel of the body politic of this country, which fact can? not and need not be ignored. We must, therefore, "take the bull by the horns," shape our course to this end, and act accordingly. Wo have frequently known much good to result from what seemed to be great evils. And why may not hopo, that ever-present solacer of the humau breast, stimulate ns to press for? ward, trusting to time and Divine Provi? dence to work oat that glorious end wc KO earnestly desiro and so ardently be? lieve must and will be our future destiny. The negro, taken in a literal sense, and as a whole, is nothing more nor less than a machine, liable to be moved and worked by agencies most suitable and best adapted to his superstitions, selfish and ovil-suspeoting nature. What, there? fore, could have been more natural than for him, under nil the circumstances, to be? come the grand instrument in base hands of sowing the seed of vice and corruption broadcast thougbout the land, thereby bringing about a state of things unparal elled iu annals of history, and amounting almost to a perversion of nature's estab? lished and most sacred laws. However, it is said "the hair of the dog is good for the bite," and as the oolored man, ander evil influences, has been instrumental in bringing about this nu natural and most deplorable state of affairs, why may not he, with proper management, be made tho mighty agent by and through which our distracted country may bb wrested from a state of chaos, and again restored to peace and order? For one, I am among the hopeful and most sanguine of this result. If Democrats would bo true Democrats, and white men would only bo while men, maintaining that superior status to which nature and nature's God have assigned thom, our task would be comparatively un easy and not an unpleasant one. But tho abominable aod most outrageous practico of white mea who call themselves Democrats, stooping and pandering to the negro aud radical party for the emolu? ments of office, is a grand stumbling block, and the most dangerous rook to which tho old ship of Democracy is now exposed. Tho negro, in law and poli? tics, must bo admitted as the equal of tho white man, leaving social relations to adjust themselves, ile must not bo ad? mitted to oiiice, simply uecuuno uo ia a negro, bat because ho is qualified and competent to fill tho same; nor must he bo excluded on account of color, but only for unfitness and disqualification. Let this programme bo laid down plainly and understandingly to the coun? try uad "corn-field nigger," bc being the one that carries tho elections. Let it be reiterated in bis ears from timo to timo, ou tho plantation aud off the plan? tation, in tho'field and out of tho held, at his home and when ho is abroad; re? mind him of the sweet (ales and svren songs of his offico-hnntiug party leaders "Forty ?cres .-.nd a mule Will start you well to tannin, Rut if you gino do DomocraU Way goos your freodom sartin." Treat bim kindly aud pleasantly, deal with him honestly aud fairly, and my word for it, instead of land and mulos, and that eternal and everlasting fear of being aflain in bondage, bia cry will bo "good-bye Union League,. good-bye scalawag and carpet-bagger, farewell fiMly-dreaped, buggy-riding, segar-smok? ing and self-esteemed colored legislator, I'm going tb be a DE MO OK AT." -*?* .> ? The Ohicago Journal (radical) says: "It is reported that cadet-poddler But? ler tried to shield himself from expulsion bj appealing to the Masons of the Com? mittee and House as such. If this is no he ought to be expelled, for Masonry was not designed to shield rogues, aud any mau who would make it a protection from justico is unfit fur Masonic fellow? ship." 'Jordan's successor as Commander of the Cuban army is reported to be M. Bernab? Varona alias Bambert, a young Cuban about twenty-four years of age, a native of Puerto Principe, and connected with the revolution from its beginning. A showman at Omaha exhibits one of his eyes, preserved in s bottle, whicb he tells the audience "was gouged ont in a I free fight in the early days of this yere ] town." RETRIBUTION.-Mrs. Stowe is ?aid to have lost $10,000, in addition to her reputation for good taste and propriety, by the publication of the Byron scandal.

SECRETARY CARDOZO VS. TUE CODE. The State eat rel. A. P. Aldrich, Isaac M. Hutsou, Jamos T. Aldrich and others, rs. F. L. Cardozo, Secretary of State. Bule on suggestions in mandamus. Be? fore Judge Melton, Columbia, March 29th, 1870. Mr. J. D. Pope read the suggestions of the relators, who stated that on or about tho first of March, n certain Act to revise, simplify and abridge the rules of practice, pleadings aud forms of the Courts of this State, was passed by the General Assembly aud was duly ratified and signed by tho Speaker of the HOUSE and President of the Senate, and ap? proved by Robert K. Scott, Governor ol South Carolina; and tb nt said Act wai duly deposited with F. L. Cardozo, Sec? retary of State, to bo depotdted among the State archives. That ono of the sec tious of the said Aot, as deposited witt bim, provided that, the "Court of Gen? eral Sessions, at Barnwell, for the County of Barnwell, on the second Monday o April, August, und December, aud tlx Court of Commou Pleas on tho firs Thursday after tho second Monday o: April, August, and December." That ex tracts of said Act, as ratified, were fur uished to His Houor Judge Platt, Judg< of said Circuit, aud was examined b^ several persons who wero interested ii the Courts That some time after. Hon A. P. Aldrich called at the Secretary o State's office, and, npon examiuatiou o the Act, found that the Section relatinj to the sittings of the Courts for Barn well County had been chauged by tb erasure of the word "Barnwell" and in 8ertiug "Blackville." That said Aldric! applied for a certified copy of that Sec tiou relating to the holding of the sai Courts, and as it was signed and ratified and approved and fugued by the Govei nor, and also a copy of the erasures au alterations that bud been made in Se< tiou 10, Section 3 and paragraph third since said Act had been filed in the o: fice of said Secretary of State, but wa told that Le could only get a copy of th Act os it now appeared iu the ellice. The respondent, F. L. Cardozc through his counsel, Messrs. Meltoi Carrol and Chamberlain, submitted hi return, of which we give an abstrae That, according to a concurrent r?solu tion of the General Assembly, passed e their last session, the respondent, as Se< retary of Slate, was authorized to en ploy tho necessory clerks for cnrollin the bills and engrossing the Acts of th General Assembly, and the duty of sn pei vising the work was thereby devolve upon this respondent. That said Ac was very long, and had to be divide among several clerks in order to get i through in time to have it ratified befot tho adjournment of the General Assen) bly. lu making this enrolled copy froi the original Act, with its several ameuc men ts, occurred tho word "Barnwell instead of the worn "Blackville," in tb third paragraph of tho 10th Sectior title 3, Section 1 of said Act; and in th form the said enrolled copy was ratifie and approved. Whether that error a? the result of accident or procured by <h sign, this respondent cannot undertuh to say. It escaped his attention, as als the Committee on Enrolled Acts in tb Senate, by whom it was reported for rat fication. It is true that copies of sai Section had been given to severul pe sons who were interested, aud it was iu until two weeks after the adjournment ( the General Assambly, and after rmi copies had been given ont from the o lice, t hat respondent's attention was calle to the error; that the error occurred froi a disagreement which existed for som time ir] regard to the place for holdin the Courts in said County, and it was u< until a lute day that tho two hous< agreed upon Blackville as the place, an respondent had been directed to Inn tho same for ratification. Knowing therefore, that the word "Barnwell" o tho enrolled copy, instead of tho wor "Blackville," was a clerical error, un that the Act, as thus enrolled, was not i conformity with the Act as it lind passe the General Assembly, and as it had bee ordered to bo enrolled, this responder, issn med the responsibility of correct! n tho error in tho enrolled copy, by erasin therefrom tho word "Barnwell" and ii }. rting tho word "Blackville," ns it ni peared in tho Act itself, ?CO., &c. Mr. Pope then opened tho argumot "or tho relators iu a speech of grot length and of much force, and was fo owed by Mr. J. M. Hutson, on sam ?ido. Maj. C. D. Melton opened for til respondent, and occupied tho atlcutio >f the Court until xdjonrnment. Alto: ipy-General Chamberlain will follow o lamo sido this morning.

For complaints and irregularities to which her sex is exclusively liable, HEINITSH'B QUEEN'S DELIOHT is recommended on the au? thority of wives, mothers and nurses, who have tested its tonio and regulating properties, and ' know whereof thoy speak;" and also with the sanction of ablo physicians, who have admi? nistered the QUEEN'S DELIOUT to their female patients, in obstinate cases, with the happiest results. Almost all female complaints aro complicated with mental gloom and despon? dency, tho gent?o and lanting exhilarating effects of tho QUEEN'S DELIOUT is admirably adapted to such cases. As a remedy for hys? teria and mcutal depression, it has no equal in the world. N arcing mothers find it an ad? mirable iuvigorant.
