COLUMBIA, S. C. -r-raS*---;---; Fridiy Morning, April 1, 1870. ropnlar Apathy. One of the woree features of the times is the indisposition on the part of some of onr people to turn oat and do their dut; at the ballot-box. This cab not be defended. A mun thus acting is recreant at once to the community and bis own family. We are not unaware of the in? fluences that often control voters. This man is in business, and be is afraid to show his political or municipal band, for fear bis business may be affected! He wants to be popular with both sides, and therefore, upou the fence be goes. This is contemptible. To such a class as this, we prefer the open and avowed opponent. He is, indeed, very little of a man who has not tho intelligence to bave opinions and bas not the manhood to avow and vindicate them at the ballot box. The duty of the good citizen is plain;. Wo do ?bt say that he must vote this way or tbatf-this is a matter for eaph ono to. decide fpr hfmselF-but we do Sby; that ho ohould bo open and above? board in bia viewS. He Bbauld look to the interests'of the community and stand np to them1, for ?lis the aggregate of in? dividual interests that make np the pub? lic inter?s^i Moreover, a citizen should ba public-spirited. He ia of very little account, who,, absorbed in self,) is satis? fied to keep within tho sphere of his mero ?-t.rsonal in terests. No man in this country and in these tiroes can neglect the daties of high citizenship. Unless we desire to be ?ver-ran and utterly ig? nored, sober and discreet citizens mnet rally, band together, and firmly and re? solutely struggle for their interests. This is duty. This is manhood. This is self interest. This is rtue to ourselves and to thoRo near and dear to ns. Fellow citizens, let your duty at the ballot-box be discharged--whether the issues be State, municipal or national. "Gov. SCOTT AMO WINCHBSTEB RIFLES.*? OD this subject, the Chester Reporter re? marks: \ "These are big words of onr Execu? tive. We thank him for them. They show us what the purpose of tbe radical party is in the approaching general elec? tion. "If those who aro opposed to the longer continuation of his corrupt ad? ministration sbonld feel it incombent upon themselves to prepare to "demand a fair election,", let the Governor, and the world, know, that the necessity for so doing has been forced upon them by this open avowal on the part of tbe Governor to over-awe and intimidate them with Winchester rifles." PiTBiiio MEETING.-Pursuant to tbe public call, a large and influential body of citizens, representing all the interests of the city, met last evening. The pro? ceedings will appear elsewhere. The action of the meeting was unanimous, and an earnest spirit was evinced. It was determined to vote for the present Mayor and Aldermen, and to make a strong effort to re-elect them in the ap? proaching eleotion. -? ? THU VELOCIPEDE ECUPSED.-A lute number of the Scientific American con? tains an illustration and description of a new locomotive invention, called a pe despeed. It consists of a pair of small wheels to be fastened on the foot, and by their assistance, man, it is claimed, can eclipse the speed of the winged god Mer? cury. Thos. L. Luders, of Olney, Illi? nois, is the designer of this new appli? ance for locomotion. WAU MADE EASY AND SAFE.-An Ita? lian hus invented a new armor, made of felt. This felt, prepared by powerful engines, is east io moulds like melted metal. When it gets cold, it resists the effects of balls like the best steel. Used for uniforms, it resists blows by a sabre or balls from a revolver. Used as an armor, it resists the balls from a Chasse pot gun, if it is fired at one-half its range, and it considerably diminishes ile effects when fired at a nearer distance. The people of Florida inform travelers that they propose to erect two monu? ments on the St. John's River, near Mrs. Stowe's resideuce, to commemorate tho names of the heroes of her most famous novels. One of the shafts is to be dedi? cated to the memory of Uuole Tom, and one to that of Lord Byron. A brute named Ferguson murdered au old man and bis wife, a few days ago, near Elmira, New York, and then forced the daughter to accompany him and share his bed. Ho was arrested on Satur? day evening, in Pennsylvania. Where's Judge Lynch? A citizen of Maine is "prospecting" in South Carolina for tho lease of a largo tract of marsh land, und proposes to cul? tivate frogs and send their hind legs to the Northern markets. Maj. Henry R. Williams and his be? loved wife departed this life, in Green? ville, last week. They were highly re? spected. "Shoo Fly," on the pmgrammo of a fashionable concert iu New York, is transformed into "Souvenir de Sboo-fly Chansonette Comique." A negro man living near kTarboro, North Carolina, killed his wife last week, by shooting her. Acta ?nd Joint Resolutions Pa??rU t?7 Legislature of Sooth Carolina.

March 23 12 V S H I V H H. ? 8 COLUMN, TFJ^ROM a communication io tho Columbia .JP PHCS?IX, or February 19. by "Tax-payer," we gat tho following dry goods trade o tat is tics for 1869: Jackson.$20,600 Klnard.$ 81,600 Lore. 44,168 ?hirer.387,000 Wc Bold moro goods, according to these re? turns, in one month, tuan ono of the houses did for the whole year; more in six weeks than another did for tho yoar; moro in two months than another did for tbo time returned for, and moro in six months than tho whole added together. So much for amounts; now lut UH get an approximate idea of per centage: A house which sells $21,000 per annum, with an expense of $7,000, pays 33 per cent, for soiling tbo goode, or bas to got 33 por cent, profit, to got cost for their goods; a home that sells $35,000 per annum, and whoso expenses for conducting business is $11,000, bas to add nearly 33 percent, ou the cost of its goode, to get oost for them. Tho houso that would soil $45,000 for eight months, $65.000 for twolvo months, (averaging,) at an oxponso of $11,000, would have to add on to their goods full 20 per cent, to got cost for them. Now, wo return $187.000, and disburso as exponaos, about $17,0t;0, or 9 1-10 per ocnt. expensss for selling the goods. It is easy to seo that any business conducted on a 10 per cent, basis for expenses, (which is entirely too high,) can afford to soil goods far bolow a businoBscoBting20 percent, to conduct; and as to the buainc Si costing 33 por cent., the comparison is unnecessary. By theso fignros, which any roader can apply, it will b' jen why wo sell goods cheaper, and how can do it. Besidos these proofa, we desiio to add, that our business arrangements are with men of great integrity, and among the finest business mon of the country, lt will bo observed and remarked, probably, that this is an unusual stylo of advertising-auch we intend it to bo, for wo have exhausted our knowledge of the enumeration style, and now submit some opinions of the press, of. our status, which wo are quite proud of-tho more especially, as they are "uitro-glyceriuo, or spontaneous notices," "not requiring pay:" THE EFFECTS OF AD VI-: UTI SINO.-It.

On motion of Capt. W. B. Stauley, H. D. Senn was called to the Chair, and Henry E. Scott requested to act ns Sec? retary. The Chairman brieily stated the objects of tho meeting.. The following preamble and resolution, which were warmly seconded hy Col. J, P. Thomas, were unanimously adopted: Whereas, at an election held on the 17th day of November, 18G8, agreeably to tho law, tho present Mayor and Alder? men were duly elected for tho period of tho hillanco of the unexpired term and ono fiill term thereafter. And whereas, tho legislature of the State, in violation of vested rights, and in wanton exercise of power, have ordered a new election; whilst, therefore, we regard it tho duty of the preseut Mayor and Aldermeu to contest the legality of this Act in the Courts, wo, nevertheless, hold it our duty to contest the matter also at the ballot-box and re-nfQrm our decision. Be it, therefore, Resolved, That we renominate the pre? sent Mayor and Council, and commend them to the suffrages of all our citizens who are for fair play, law and order, and desire the welfare of our community. Mr. Seihles offered the following reso? lution, which was adopted: Resolced, That a committee of ten in each Ward be appointed to oanvass the various Ward3 and see that every voter registers Iiis nnme aud casts his vote at the election.

Cnuiins.-Active preparations arebeinj made for the monster "chicken dispute,' to come off next week, at the Exchangi cock-pit. A number of fino birds wer? received yesterday. A bothered house-keeper thinks tba servant girls, instead of being "snbjec to a hire law," are a law unto themselves and quito lawless at that. A new fashion is being introduced Lndies ore now having fans made in tin shape of pistols and daggers. It is rathe a curious sieht to see the blushing, timii Miss Fawn drawing her "ivory revolver,' or Miss Stern, a strong-minded younj lady, toying ferociously with her dagger which she suddenly turns into a fun. Fences, walls, etc., about the city, ar decorated with hand-bills, fancy sheets etc., setting forth the attractions of MHC Evoy'a Bibcrnicon, to be exhibited ii Janney's Hall, on Monday evening next In the country, they blow a "horn' before dinner; in town, they take one. Mr. Haselton will exhibit tho Wilco: & Gibbs sowing machine at Messrs. S W. Porter &Co.'s dry goods establish ment, to-dny. Call and seo it. All must register anew tor tho noxl election, and each voter in his Ward. Voters will bear in mind that the\ must register before voting at tho mu? nicipal election to bo held on Tuesdaj next. According to an Act passed bj tho last Legislature, each Ward elects it? own Aldermen. The Colnmbia Oil Company is now in full operation, and many bushels of tin seed cf the fleecy king aro daily forced to give np their greasy properties. Pre aident Alexander has "struck ile." Misapprehension etill exists aa regards registration. Every citizen must register anew and register in the ward in which ho resides, and must vote in the Ward in which ho registers. In France, decentralization is the watch? word of tho party of progress. In the United States, the dominant party are for centralization. Which is right? An? swer-Frnuce. THU TEACHERS' CONVENTION.-We are pleased to see that most of our State ex ohauges extend Capt. H. S. Thompson's proposition for a Teachors* Convention here. Tho Marion Stur, amongst others, says: "We coincide entirely with tho PIKE NIX, and wo hope that every teacher in tho Pee Deo section, who can conveni? ently attend the meeting, will be present nud lend his influence to carry out the wiso purpose of the convention. It is au important movemeut for the rising generation of our State, and we trust it will be successful. The way tho tender twig is bent, so the sturdy tree grows."
