COLUMBIA,jl & Satnrda^ Mornipg, May 21,1870. Tlio .?l?on-Politlcal?' la SoulU Carolina? Tbt Late Convention. The Nation, a radical paper, saya: Moro encouraging ia the non-political South Carolina news, which, indeed, ia a great deal better than most persons in this Bootion of tho country have been hoping for, and is absolutely good. It is Gorpioing, for example, to loam that one small association working in New bony District, a fine country, with a beautiful climate, and lying in the mid? dle region-between tue sand and the hills-alone 'has introduced almost 500 European immigrants, Swedes wo take them, jp be, for the gentleman who gave tho account of them went on to say, that. "if you give a Swedish laborer n peck of meal and three pounds of bacon (a week) you may expect him to taber? nacle with yon only for a night;" and he added something to the effect that the Swede is a free man, who comes to this country to better his condition, and not to be e. serf, and who must be treated accordingly. These remarks were made in a convention whioh sat for several -daya in Charleston, and included delo? ngates from Georgia as well us from all parts of South Carolina. Looking over tho report of the proceedings, we noted an entire absence of the spirit but re? cently pervading the South Carolinian mind-the spirit which demands, not -immigrants who desire to better them -selves, bat a servile peasantry. It ap? pears as if there were now a genuino wish to foster the sort of immigration from: abroad? and from the North and East, whioh has built up tho States of the West and made them tho wonder of the world; and an elaborate plan to accomplish the desired result was sub? mitted to the convention, and, after in? telligent debate, adopted. The South waa always ready enough to hold cou voli? tions, agricultural and other, and it is hard, when we read the Charleston reso? lutions, not to think of the gentlemen who used regularly to meet and resol vo that Norfolk, Virginia, waa designed by Odd to be the greatest sea-port on thia oontinent; but still the resolutions be? fore ns have a very busitiess-like and hopeful look. In brief, this is the gene? ral Boheme: Landholders and other capi? talists are to subscribo land, or money with which to buy land, and thia is tobe divided into farma, of whioh every other one is to be given to any respectable and healthy man who will occupy it and im? prove it, holding it at the end of ten years in fee simple, and, until tho ten years' term expires, under tho sole con? dition that he ahall not abandon it, but shall cultivate it Alternate sections the association is to hold. Four freight and emigrant steamers are to be built, and every means is to be tried to induce emi? grants from Europe, whether bound for South Carolina or for Oregon, to make the journey eta Charleston-a route alleged to be cheaper than any other now in existence. Chinese laborers-of whom, as "ootton-hands," glowing ac? counts were given-are to be called into the rioe districts. The erection of cot? ton mills is to be encouraged, and figures were read, which seem reasona? ble, tending to show that a manufacturer who should barely pay expenses in run? ning twenty frames in New Englaud, could make $15,000 a year by running them in Georgia. An instance waa given of a manufacturer who actually bad dono both these things BO lately aa last year. Our apace forbids our giving further details of the projected plan, but, as is said above, it looks hopeful. -m m ? > - A "REPUBLICAN" VIEW.-The Nation says, referring to tho political condition of South Carolina: "Nothing ia surer than that tho rescuo of South Carolina from ber present rulers is a thing for which decent moa every? where-Democrats and Republicans, es? pecially Republicana-should pray with fervor." The Banner of the South says : Our young men ehould not look aloue to thc learned professions for occupation and profit. They muat go into other fields. They muat adapt themselves to the new order of things, and fit themselves for other occupations than law and medicine. There is the school house, the work? shop, the minorai resources of the Stale, and a hundred other branches of indus? try which are waiting, with open arma, as it were, to weloome the earnest pupil and workoratonce. We might elaborate theae ideas still more ; we might give them in the chaste and beautiful language of the orator himself ; but we do not deem it necessary at present to do more than call attention to the subject. Wo shall allude to it again, and often ; for we believe that upon thia grand principle depends, in a very great measure the prosperity and grandeur of not only the Stato of Georgia, but of every Southern State. Our pol?tica are in too deplorable a condition to afford us any relief. For this we muat turn to something else. What grander, or nobler, or moro profita? ble occupation than the advancement, tho honor, and the interest of our section ? To secure those, let us work, earnestly, energetically, constantly, with untiring zeal and unceasing effort. If we love oar State, our section, the work, though difficult, will be pleasant ; and the re? ward, though long delayed, will be ample and glorious. An unsuccessful' attempt waa made in New Orleans on Monday to introduce colored children into two cf the public schools. A committee of eight, with three boya (oolored) made the demand, whioh waa refused, upon the ground that instructions for the admission of colored children had not been given by the Su? perintendent. Considerable excitement prevailed, and the police were called to disperse the orowd. Trouble is antici? pated. MB.

THE NEW MODE OF VOTING.-Tho" sys? tem of free, or cumulative voting has been submitted to the people by the Il? linois Convention, in such a mnnner, that, if adopted, the members of the Lower House of the Legislature will hereafter be elected upon this plan. Each Legislative District will eleot one Senator and three Representatives. Un? der the system now submitted, voters are permitted, in voting for the Representa? tives, to cast one vote each for the three, ouo and a half votes each for two, or three votes for one. It is assumed that tho two political parties will, under this provision, oach nominate only tho num? ber of candidates its votes will enable it to elect, leaving the opposing party to nominate the number of candidates its votes will elect. Thus, if a district has 9,000 votes, of which 2,300 are Demo? cratic and 6,700 are Republican, in elect? ing three members, tbe 2,300 votes, if concentrated upon one man, aro sure to elect him because the 0,700 votes, divid? ed among three candidates, will give them only 2,233 votes each. To elect ono minority candidate among three, therefore, it is only necessary that the minority party shall have barely more than a fourth of the total voto. If, how? ever, the minority party is grasping, and attempts to elect two candidates out of three, it is liable to lose its Representa? tives altogether. For instance, if tho Republicans have 5,500 votes, and the Democrats 3,500 out of the 9,000, the Republican vote, divided among three candidates, will give them 1,833 votes each, while the Democratic vote, divided between two, will give them only 1,750 eaob, and Republicans, exclusively, will bo elected. At the same time, it is as dangerous for the majority party to grasp moro than they are entitled to, as for tho minority. If, for instance, out of a total vote of 9,000, tho Democrats have 5,350, and tho Republicans 3,050, if tho Demo? crats should attempt to elect threo can? didates, their votes, divided among three, would give them only 1,783 each, while tho Republican vote, divided between two, would give them 1,825 each, and thus tho Republicans, though iu u mi? nority of tho popular vote, would get two out of tho threo members. [Chicago Tribune. QUEUY.-A correspondent of the Co? lumbia PHOENIX, over the signature of "A Native," regrets the notice which ap? peared ia our columns last week, con? cerning the railroad excursionists. We would be glad to know the exact Hue or sentence that has given umbrage, confin? ing the question to what we said con? cerning tho railroad officials? As to the politicians, wo can readily understand that our remarks were not entirely ac? ceptable; but as tho new officers of the road were in company with the aforesaid greedy place-seekers, it was manifestly proper to spoak of both iu the same ar? ticle. We wish to treat every person "with respect aud civility," irrespective of "policy or interest," but some mon forfeit all claim to either by their own conduct. Hence, we refer occasionally to certain politicians with a savor of contempt, and oft-times ridicule. As to the new officors of tho Green? ville Railroad, wo are profoundly igno? rant in regavd to their "education, mouey and influence," and on more thau ouo occasion have expressed our want of information concerning them. But wo are willing to prove them by their uctious, and if they are earnestly engaged in promoting the material prospority of this sectiou, uone will yield moro readily a due meed of praise than this journal. We shall wait for substantial facts and progressive indica? tions. As we do not oppose, but hearti? ly endorse, every inllux of capital and enterprise, these geutlemon cnn a fiord to undergo a short probation, boforo we rush at them with "cordiality." At least, such is our way of thinking, and wo are sorry that it does not please "A Nati ve. "-Anderson Intelligence)'. DEATH FROM LOOK-J AW.-The remains of Mr. John Blackburn, whoso death re? sulted from rather singular circum? stances, were interred last Sunday, at Trenton, N. J. Some ten days ago, ho accidentally chopped off the joint of his finger with au axe, while in tho not of splitting some wood. Ou immediately replacing the disjointed member, it clung fast iu its proper place, the coagulated blood holding it attached. Having tied it up in a pieco of li neu, he resumed his work, and foolishly imagined that nature would soon effect a perfect cure. Toward thc close of last week, ho felt a pain in his nuder jaw, and a physician being consulted, the symptoms were pronounc? ed very dangerous. His finger had be? come moro swollen, and inflammation had set in, making further amputation necessary. His condition became gra? dually worse, and he died on Friday uight. General Hennessey, of tho Federal army daring the war, is now engaged in scraping castings at a foundry nt Mauch Chunk, Pa. This is a hard scrape for a General to get into. A maa iu Wayne County is feeding a cow on juniper berries to get her to give gin and milk. It can't be done, any more than a hen can lay scrambled eggs by stirring her up with a pole. An UndcrtaJtcr'* Wedding. There ie a "melancholy interoet" ia little affair that actually oodnrrod not a.thousand miles from Boston, a short ?me sine*. A well-known olergyman re? ceived one morning an imperative sum mono to be lin attendance' to. perform ?4the ceremony" at the residence of an equally well Known undertaker in the evening. He went, accordingly, sup posing, of course, that he was to accom? pany the man of grief to a house of mourning, but waa agreeably disappoint? ed on finding the house (over the shop) brilliantly lighted and filled with guests, whom tho undertaker proceeded to in? troduce, as follows: "This is my intended wife, sir, Miss Grape. I shall marry her to night, if you'll officiate" "Certainly," replied the olergyman, somewhat amnsed; "and these are yonr friends to witness the ceremony?" look ing ronnd at the orowded apartment. "O, yes, you know many of them allow me-this is Mr. Bones, sexton of St. Charles Church." Mr. Bonos rose solemnly, and houved a hundred dollar funeral sigh us he bowed to tho minister. "Mr. Mould, sexton of tho brick chapel." Mould, who had a low cut-whito vest, a large glassy white shirt bosom and collar, a palo face and sunken eyes, which gave him the appearance of being "laid out," replied to tho clergyman's greeting with the usual sad shake of the head he had practiced at funerals the past twenty years. "This," said the host, as the indivi? dual approached on tip tip-toe, with down-cust gaze, as if afraid of disturbing the silence of n grief-stricken family sitting in tho front parlor at a funeral, "this is Mr. Bluck, the undertaker; I believe you've met before." Black bowed, and inclined his head sidoways, as if he expected the minister to whisper some directions to him before proceed? ing with tho service. "Allow mo to make you acquaiuted with Mr. Stone, the sculptor." Stone griped the minister's hand ns he would a mallet; he was proprietor of Stone's Monumental Works. Then followed in? troductions to tho superintendents of two cemeteries, a pinto engraver, and others more or less connected with the grim business of the host, who after finishing introductions, aunounced him? self ready for tho marriage ceremony. "You don't mind standing here and using this black walnut case for a table, do you?" said the bridegroom; it was too heavy to move, besides it's full of shrouds and caps that wo don't want to tumble." The minister acquiesced, and the twain were duly united, after which, cake, wino and conversation pervaded the company. The clergy mau congratulated the bride? groom on bia bride. "Yes," replied the happy man, "abo's been my house? keeper some time-uico woman-ain't afraid of dead folks." "Ah, indeed," said the clergyman, getting a little chilly down along his backbone in spito of himself, and wish? ing to chungo tho subject, he remarked: "Any nowa to-day, Mr. Tressells?" "News.no-that is, yeal You remem? ber Merkor, who jumped overboard and drowned himself from a forrv boat lost weok?" "Yes." "Well, they found him this morning in ten feet of water, .iud paving stones in bis pockets." "Indeed!" "Yes!-We've ff ot him up stairs, if you'd like to see him!" Not knowing what might como next, tho clergyman thought best to take bia departure, which he did with a grave demeanor suited to tho ocoasiou. HADN'T JINED 'EM YET.-A rather ver? dant young mau, whoso features exhi? bited every aympton of having been tinged with the emerald, quito recently entered a jewelry store in New York, and gazing earnestly iuto the show-case, re? marked: "You've got a heap of mighty pretty breast-pins thar, mister; what monght ye tax for 'em?" "What sort of a piu would you like to look at?" inquired the merchant. "Well, dunno!" said the visitor, point? ing to a plain Maaonio pic, (the compass and square,) "how much is that yere?" "Five dollars only, air," was the reply. "It's a very fine pin, eighteen-curut gold, and-" "You haven't got ary ono with a little gold hand-saw laid across it, hov you?" interrupted tho would-be purchaser. "I bol i eve not, sir," said the merchant. "Wish ver had, it would suit mo ex? actly. I'm just out of my time, and gwine to set up ns carpenter and j'iner, and I thought I'd like some sort of a sign to wear about mn, so folks would have au idee who I was. What do yo tax for that ar pin you've got yer hand on?" "Seven dollars," said tho merchant, producing a compass and square sur? rounding the letter G. "Seven dollars, eh!" said the youth, "I'll take it-sorry yer didn't have the hand-saw, though. But I reoon every? body will understand it. Tho compass to measure out tho work, and tho square to seo it's all right after it's done mea? sured, and every darned fool orterknow that G allua stands for gimlet!" TURPENTINE STILL BURNED.-We leora that a turpentine still belonging to Capt. J. F. Carraway, at Williams' landing, on Black Mingo Creek, was destroyed by firo on Friday night last, being a loss to tho owner of about 8600. The fire is supposed to have been the work of an incendiary. - Kingstree Star. A man having bought a $100 pocket handkerchief for his botter half, an ac? quaintance remarked that she mast be "a duck of a wife;" to whioh a bystander added, "or he must be a goose of a hus? band." 100 women are studying law at this timo in the United States. / FASHIONS--SOMETHING WE SHOULD LAUGH AT IP SEEN IN AFRICA.-We might have thought iVAb/tgrtl^f Dr, j Living? stone had written, throe jean ago, that ho had found in Africa a tr ibo, tho wo mon of which drees BB follows: "Tho Dayous are beautiful women, with ex? quisite complexion and fine forms, and they dress in the most perfect taste. They wear short dresses, reaching the ankles. Upon the forehead is perched a small hat, the front of which rests upon the nose. They take large bags of hair and wool, saturate them with butter and hang them on tbo hack of the head, covering the neck. Upon the small of the back they, tie a bunch of cotton cloth, colored and cut into strips. Tboir shoes are beauties, coming to a poiut at the toe and having the long and sharp pointed heel placed under the middle of tbe foot. This makes the foot very small iu appearance, but tho wearer would tip over forward but for tho bags on the head and back. Each woman, when she goes out, carries a large plantain leaf to keep off the sun, whioh she holds by the stem between the thumb aud fore-finger, crooking her elbow up from her body nt an angle of ninety. Tho effect is more beautiful than you eau imagiue. Tho gait of the women is particularly ad? mired. Tho heavy ones have difficulty in keeping their balance, but the light ones pick their way ulong ns prettily as heus walk over hot ashes. Young girls go barefooted. For some years after they are of age to put on their shoes, they suffer with lameness und sore feet -after that their feet beoome perma? nently deformod, and they have no moro pain. Walking is, however, not u favorite practice with them, and running is im? possible. The Government of the Da you's is really democratic, the ruler being chosen annually by vote of all tho peo? ple; yet it is Baid the women do not waut to vote. All they caro for is plenty of hair aud little shoes. Tho men aro sat? isfied with this division, nud the State is quito prosperous, though tho society is ruthor vulgar aud unintellectual." DISCOVERY OF THE ORIGINAL DOCU? MENTS FOR THE BOOKS OF GGNESIS.-Mr. Charles Welford, in his last Loudon lot? ter to the Book Buyer, published in New York, by Scribner, Welford & Co., gives an account of the remarkable announce? ment just made by Sir Henry Rawlinson before the Asiatic Society. It is not merely that this eminent Orieu tal scholar claims to have discovered the original records from which the book of Genesis was composed, but he illustrates his po? sition by details of tho most striking kind. Ho himself said: "Tho progress now reached iu tho col? lection and arrangement of the Nineveh inscribed fragments, made it beyond a doubt that they would bo able to derive tho whole of the history given in the book of Genesis, from tho time of Abra? ham, from tho original documents; and it was not too much to expect that almost tho same facts and descriptions would bo found in the Bible. Ho hoped very soon to have ready n paper ou the Garden of Eden, (Paradise,) in which ho would 6how that was tho natural name of Babylon. The river bore tho same namo, and thc Babylonian documents gavo au exact geographical account of the Garden ol Eden. The flood and tho Tower of Ba? bel would bo found to bo most amply il? lustrated in Babylonian documents." NEW SYSTEM OF TBIIEOBAIZ-MONE\ ORDERS.-From the Albany Evening Journal, of the 16th instant, wo get thc following: The Western Union Telegraph Com? pany has, we notice, inaugurated a sys? tem of telegragh money orders, which promises to be of great benefit to thc business community. In its essential features it is similar to the system in vogue in tho Post Office Department, with the difference that payments can bo made in distant places nearly as quickly as if the parties were in tho same room. The plan is very simple-a per? son desiring to pay an amouut of money to a party in another place deposits the sum in the office whero he resides. The office receiving the money authorizes tho office from which it is to be paid to pay tho amount deposited and charge to tho office giviug the authorization, exact? ing a morely nominal fee for the service. Tho system has only just been put in operation, aud it fills so important a want in the commercial community, that it will undoubtedly become popular. MANUFACTURE OF COTTON AT THE SOUTH.-Among the many ablo reports to the Immigration Convention, lately hold in Charleston, there is not ona of greater importance to our people than the following, presented by Col. J. B. Palmer, ono of the owners and the mana? ger of the Saluda Cotton Factory, near Columbia. As soon as we can obtain the proper information, it is our intention to givo descriptions and locations of tho water powers so abundant in Union County, and, if possible, iuduco tho for? mation of Companies to erect Factories upon them. We hope each ono of our subscribers will attentively and studi? ously read Col. Palmer's able and reliable report. We believe there could bo cuough stock raised in this County to establish one or two Factories that would be profitable to the Stockholders and materially benefit the State at large. I Union Times, Tho Darlington County Commissioners rejected tho responsible offer of two respectable oolored mechanics to build tho new Court House for $13,500, and gavo tho work to S. Marco at $17,990.50. This shows a very proper appreciation of the oolored oitizen, doesn't it? ' The negro who endeavored to force hie way on the North Carolina Railroad train, a few days since, and who, firing upon and wounding Conductor Wait, was himself wounded in tho head by a shot from the baggage-master, has since died of the wound. David Hill, the Scottish landscape painter, is dead. ? o o al lt? m ? . The.
