COLUMBIA, S. C. Friday Morning April 8,1870. What Reconstruction Means. DOD Piatt, the Republican correspond? ent of the radical Cincinnati Commercial, MJS: The Senatorial confusers of useful knowledge are pounding away at Geor Sia. Senator Bevels ia to deliver, to av, Governor Bullock's speech, and the old routine of talk will go on over and over to a dreary length of apoplectic stupidity. Troops are needed in North Carolina. Troops are called for in Ten? nessee, and there seems to be no end of tinkering, patching and threatening on the part of the majority in Congress. And wlien we sift iiMown to a real defini? tion, reconstruction jneans voting Ihe lie publican ticket. We have given io tba negro tbe ballot. We have expended vast sums on his education and for his support, and yet the legislation in bis behalf has no limit. It is the hopeless legislation of ven? geance. Some fellow writes Senator Sumner a letter full of lamentations and direful forebodings and Massachusetts' elongated agony-the animated personal pronoun "I"-rises in his place, has tho letter read, and then moves an enact? ment looking to the annihilation of the disloyal element of the South. Well, gentlemen, it can't be annihilated in that way. This disloyal party, as you call it, ia the growing element in the South and cannot be suppressed, unless we are willing to give up our theory of govern? ment and wipe out the State lines, aud substitute military dependencies in their stead. Let us seo where we are. After passing the most stringent enact? ments, after driving the disloyal element from all political power, we rind tbat it yet exists. It makes up the majority in numbers, and tbe vast preponderance of brain. It controls the press, makes pub? lic sentiment and bolds the property. It is more dangerous to our Government out of office than in. Oppressed, in? sulted aud abused, it grows in deadly Antagonism to our best interest, aud sooner or later will come up and take control to our injury. I know of nothing more childish or puerile than to hear Charles Sumner or Puritan Drake reading anonymous let? ters, and shaking their Senatorial dogers at a power that bas to-day more brain, more pluck, and far more statesmanship than these our impotent law-makers. I have no question but that Sumner, Drake & Co.,fare honest in this. But one tu saying so is forced to complimeut their morals at the expense of their in? tellect. But back of these, and urging them on, are certain other law-makers not so honest. As the matter stands, neither the brain nor the material inte? rests of the South are represented in Congress. New England and Pennsyl? vania both represent that region. The scalawag or carpet-bagger sits like a monkey on a hand-organ, watching with keenest eye3 the whip of his master. Tho immense moneyed interests, tho accumulated and accumulating capital of tbe few, own and possess and occupy the South. Hence it is well never to be done reconstructing. We have toled the South aloug ns a farmer does a stupid ox, with nubbins of corn, until the poor beast finds that it was the yoke and not tho feed that he was to get. QnowiiEU.-There is a class of men in every community who go about with vinegar faces, growliug because they aro not appreciated as they think they should be, and who constantly quarrel with their destiny. These uieu usually have made a great mistake iii_.their estimate of their abilities, or ure unmitigated donkeys. In either case they are unfortunate. If people despise you, do uot tell it all over town. If you aro capable, show it. If you are a right down clever fellow, wash the worm-wood off your face, and sh >w your good-will by deeds. Then, if tho people feel above you, go right off and feel above them. If they swell when they pass you in the street, swell your? self, and if this does not "fetch them," conclude very good naturedly that they are unworthy of your acquaintance, and pity them for missing such a capital chance of getting into good company. - PnoartESS.-The Washington corres? pondents of New York papers inform us that Senator Revels, John M. Langdon, Frederick Douglass and other prominent "uegro" orators, aro making arrange? ments, in view of the ratification of tho fifteenth amendment, to stump tho Northern States next fall in the interests of the Republican party. In order that the latter party may get thu full benefit of tho negro vote in tho Northern States, it is understood that tho Union League of America will soon set about establish? ing secret leagues among tho negroes of that section, so as to prepare them to vote at the autumn elections. With thc aid of the negro, the Republicans expect to carry all the Northern States by largo majorities, and to reclaim States like De? laware, Maryland and New Jersey. -?-?-*-? FOTIGIDE.-Dr. Hopkins, of Utica, N. Y., has collected with great caro and published, statistics concerning tho growth and prevuleuco of tho crimo of foeticide, which aro of a most startliug character. Taking New York city as nu index, the Doctor sh owa that tho in? crease of procured abortions has been alarmingly rapid. In 1805 the ratio to population was 1 to 1,633; in 1819, 1 to 340; in 1850, 1 to 10; in 1869, 1 to 4. Theso figures represent a stato of morals which challenges tho grave consideration of legislators and teachers of religion. MB. EDITOB: In noticing the public exhibitions of the press on the present situation of governmental affairs, it will appear that an effort is making to bring tbe popular mind to the essential princi? ples of a common platform, upon which to stand in the coming canvass for the election of a now Legislature. Various are the suggestions as to the best mode of proceeding-of preparing the voting citizens for the ballot-box. I desire to tako a part in making suggestions, and propose the following for consideration. But, first, what are the evils of which wo complain and for which we desire a re? medy? One of the greatest is, the bnr thouBome taxation to which we aro sub? jected, and the uncertainty and confusion into which our laws and code of rule? of proceedure in our Courts are thrown by extravagant legislation; entailing loss of time and heavy expenses in conduct? ing the litigation of the country. In view of this condition of our situation, the great desideratum with us, is, how cnn we put in motion a remedy? I say put in motion, because it cannot all be doue at once. Something can be done, in tho right direction, if the voting citi? zens will unite and heartily endeavor to elect a Legislature capable of realizing our weighty burthens, and filled with the spirit of true reform and industry, to do the most useful work in tho shortest pos? sible timo. Suoh a selection of meu can and will effect wonders for tho general welfare of our oppressed people; but, not so much for the millionaire specula? tors. Now, can such election bo made? Not with ease and apathy; but, if the people would unite aud go to work pro? perly, I think very much could be doue. I will 8tatemy plan. Let each County view its own separate voting condition of fixed facts-of living issues. For example, a County having a preponder? ance of white voters and sending three members to the House of Representa? tives, nominate a ticket of two white and ono colored candidat?, and upou condi? tion, that they openly and publicly pledge themselves to work for the reform desired by tbe nativo and adopted citi? zens of our State; then give them a united support at the ballot-box. If a County have a preponderance, either way, and be entitled to four mombers, let the citizens nominate a ticket of two whites and two colored, and upon the conditions already stated; then rully for their sucoess at the ballot-box. And sn, let each County act for itself. And further, if there should be a Coun? ty entitled to four or moro members and ouly two suitable men can be found to take open ground for tho needed reform, nominate but these two, ono white and one colored, and then, upon tho same condition, all, who are for reform, sup? port these and no other. I write to be understood, use no metaphors, or hidden lauguoge, indicating policies for the fu? ture, but speak straight out. In select? ing colored nominees, I hesitate not to advocate' tho appointment of those, main? ly, who have been owned among tis as slaves formerly, aud of those, too, who aro of tho funning class. They feel more sharply the burthens of which we all complaiu. Much eau be said in fuvor of this course of procedure, but I withhold exteuded argument. The reasons aro very apparent. In this way, they will seo that we aro in earnest in recognizing their legal rights; that we desire to take them along with us, in leaving the busi? ness of law-making, and in the execution of law. It will remove from their miuds tho bug-bears of being remanded to slavery again, and guard them against hnmbuggcry for the future. Thus, they will more readily learn, that they have been gulled with shadows, whilst their pretended frieuds ran away with the substance. We must get tho workings of tho Stute Government in fair order, and let national politics nod alliances bo for tho proper timo. We are not bencfitted, just now, I apprehend, by keeping up party struggles for party success and ellice emoluments. Fellow-citizens, we have much at stake, and let ns think twice before we speak, aud look with both eyes before we leap. Send out your ora? tors and logical sharp-shooters to en? lighten tho popular mind. Tho press eau do much, but good slumping eau do moro iu this matter. SPES. There was an attempted test of tho civil rights bill iu Chester, a few days ago. Several colored men entered the barber-shop of a worthy freedman, and desired him to shave them, which he declined; they immediately hurried to a colored magistrate and obtained the arrest of the unwilling barber; but upou inquiry from tho Internal Revenue Col? lector, it was fouud that the barber was not licensed; he was, thereupon, re leasod, much to the chagrin of tho in? sulted party. INCENDIARISM.-Wu learn that tho barn of Mr. William Keels, near Lynch? burg, in Sumter County, was set ou fire, on Friday night of last weeli, and destroy? ed with its contents, consisting of lf>0 j bushels of corn, a corn sheller, A:c. Tuesday night, tho 29th ult., tho piaula ! tiou of Gen. Evans, near Marion, was fired, uud besides the houses, a quantity of corn, a mule uud an ox were burnt in tho conflagration. THE SHIPMENT OP FERTILIZERS.-Dur? ing tho mouth of March there were ship? ped from Charleston, by tho South Cuiolina Railroad, 18,200,590 pounds of fertilizers. This is equal to about 9,130 tons, or 1,141 car loads. At SSO per ton, this amount of fertilizers cost about 8730,000. This is doing pretty woll for ouo mouth.-Charleston News. GEORGETOWN AND CHARLOTTE RAIL? ROAD.-The estimated cost of tho grud ing and building, trestling and cross ties of this read, 155 miles in extent, is $700,000, or about 84,500 per milo. Tho iron and rolling stock is estimated to cost $1,300,000. lu nil, $2,000,000. LONG COURTSHIPS.- "A Bufferer*' send a us the following from that spioy writer, "Mary Myrtle," with a request that it be published for the edification of bash ful swains who dilly-dally about their sweethearts and take up an amount of time in dawdling and dangling quite sufficient to exasp?rate the most patient of the gentler sex: "If there ia anything moro disheartening to a woman than a long courtship, I have yet to disoover it. From tho woman who marries for a home-nnd there aro far too many who do that-to tho fair creature who marries for love, thero aro thousands who aro kept in suspenso for years, not knowing whether tho mau whom they expect to marry is really going to propose or not. It is very certain that long courtships seldom result in matrimony. It gene? rally happens that the faults of both parties aro mado evident, nnd tho desire for separation is mutual. But no young (or old) man has any right to monopolize the attentions of a lady for years nud then coldly dismiss ber. By so doing he possibly prevents her from marrying some one who would bo glad to have her. and acts a part which no gentleman will. So, gentlemen, wheo you have decided that the lady is worthy of your choice, (and don't be long about it,) 'pop the question' and 6ct her heart at rest." The advice of tho piquant "Mary Myrtle" is to tho poiut. In other words, in the words of "John Unit," "business is business;" nnd tbeso iutolerubly long and extremely exhaustive courtships dog the buBiuess of society and end iu much heart-burning and disappointment. It is, no doubt, a lino thing, an agreea? ble reoreation, to monopolize the thoughts or tho preference of n charming woman, but there is such n thing ns hanging on too long and making a protracted meet? ing out of tho halcyon days of life. LouisvHie Courier-Journal. A case was decided by tho United States Supremo Court some days ugo, which will, no doubt, create n sensation iimoug holders of confiscated property in the South, many of whom mude their purchases without fully understanding the law on the subject. Tho case is that of Bigelow vs. DeForrest, in which cer? tain real estate in Virgiuia was seized, under the confiscation Taws, and sold, its owner being adjudged guilty of treason. That person having since died, his heirs brought snit iu ejectment to recover the property. Tho claim wa? resisted on the ground that the title of the originnl owner was forfeited by his treason, and his rights in thc property thoroughly divested. But the Uuited States Su? premo Court decide that it was only his estate during his lifo which was divested, and since his death his heirs may re? cover the property. Tho decision is in accordance with clause two, section three, article three of tho Constitution of the Uuited States, which says: "Con? gress shall bnvo power to deoluro the punishment of treason, but no attainder of treason shall work corruption of blood or forfeiture, except during tho life of tho person attainted." AMERICANS IN EUROPE.-The Naples and Florence Observe); of March 5, re? cords the arrival at thc Pension ile Suez of three Misses Campbells of Charleston, S. C.

TAL.-Tho steamer Mountain-Boy left Wheeling a few nights since, for Charles? town, Ktiuawba County, tho new State Capital, with tho executivo officers, their families and household goods.

Toale, whoso advertisement appears in an? other column, has established on a linn basis, in Charleston, the largest and most complete manufactory of doors, saBhes, blinds, &o., in the Southern States. Having advertised libe? rally during tho past year, he baa secured a large custom, e xtending as far Wost as Ala bania, ami ho has thus been enabled to put forth a printed prico list whioh do?ea competi? tion. Every person who contemplates build? ing or repairing should writo at once for Mr. Toalc'a pi ico list. Ap 8 1 ORNAMENTAL IKON AND BRONZE WORKS.-Aa successful workers in iron, for practical and useful purposes, aa well aa Ornamental com? bined, tho firm of Bobert Wood A Co., of Philadelphia, are tho first upon tho American Continent, and their work compare? favorably with tho finest skill of tho old world, 'ihoy employ 150 of the most skilled workmen in this country, two-thirds of whom have served their appreiiticetliip under Robert Wood, tho aenior partner, who, for tho past twenty iivo years, has given his special attention to tho produc? tion of his goods, and who, by an honorable course of dealing, lias built up a business having no rival in this country, and but few in Europe. They cast an almost unlimited va? riety of designs, including lions, dogn, and a variety of other animals, most beautiful fountains adorned with statues of water nymphs, fawns, Ac, beside statues of dis? tinguished persons, life-size, heroic and co? lossal. The colossal statue of Henry Clay, cast by this Company and erected at Potts? ville, Pa., has n ceived tho highest encomiums of English travelers visiting this country, be? sides attracting much attention from tho lovers of this art in our own country. The casting of statuary in bronze has been insti? tuted only about five years, hut within this short period of time has attained such a high degree of excellence and superiority na to bring this establishment in successful compe? tition with tho most noted ami oldest bronze works of Europe. Tho colossal atatuo of Lincoln, cast by Messrs. Woori A Co. lately, to bo placed in Union Park, New York, was cast in six pieces, and the whole work of casting and linisliing rc quired three months. It is eleven feet high, and tho likeness ia true and faithfully represented, being tho finest bronze casting in tho United States. Tho elegant set nf iron stair-cases for tho Court House in Carlinvillo, III., at a cost of $10,000, is tho most superior casting oi this kind, probably, in tho world. While Messrs.
