COLUMBIA, S. C. Wodneflday Morning, May 25, 1870. Thc Nccil of ft Chango. We have received from one of oar sub? scribers in the town of Newberry, a olear, striking and dispassionate view of the complications in which we are involved. Ho appreciates fully and feels acutely the corruption and misrule that affliot ns. Aa to the remedy, ho expresses his opinion?, which are based upon an anal ysis ot pur situation. He bas no great faith in reform by the ballot, bnt holds that to get relief, we must apply sharp and d?cisive remedies o? a politico-eco? nomical kind. He fears, that unices something is dono, that matters will grow worse. We refer to these views not so muoh in view of tho writer's wnnt of faith in political effort, but as showing ihow the situation is viewed by earnest, -clear-headed and reflecting meu. The t truth of the matter is, thesobor, thought? ful portion of our people are impressed with the absolute necessity of au im? provement in onr publio affairs. Tho ^tate iB bearipg up manfully under its j heavy burdens, but it is an up-hill busi? ness for most people to realize enough to live upon and pay tho taxes imposed by thp Government, State and National. Our correspondent deplores the disposi * tion to plant cotton, nt the expense of better, business. He remarks-"Cotton iamo?t certainly King Stork of the South at this time." On the subject of the ne? cessity of good government, he remarks: "Without good government, full pro? tection of person nhd proporty, tbero can be no real prosperity-no stimulus or reward for labor. The reflection of the industrious, that the fruits of his labor go to support vice and idloness, " ignorance and filth, force, fraud and perjury, at borne and at the North, will relax his energy and thrift. It becomes a crime against civilization to be industrious ?under such conditions, and emigrate he will and should, if there is no other way of escaping degradation." This is strong language It shows how the situation impresses sober citizens. And above all, it shows at once tho duty and the necessity of the work to which, in common with others, we summon our friends. A Demand for Reform from Ute Republi? can Camp. - . The Missionary Record-edited by the radical colored Senntor from Charleston is out in bold, outspoken words in behalf Of reform. The Record admits that tho corruption charged against the ruling regime, in certain respects, at least, is well founded. Whether the reform we need shall come from xeithin or from ?without the groat body of outsiders will be benofitted-wo mean thoso, white and colored, oidside of the plundering ring of self-seekers and schemoi-B. In our judgmont tho efforts for reform ought to begin both from within and from without. Then, indeed, shall we see the work of "disintegration" go bravely on. ?---?-??-? "WE THANK THEE, FEIEND, FOE THAT WOBD."-That able and fair paper, tho Nation, (Republican,) referring to mat? ters in Greece, says: "It is safe to say that a lower pitch of degradation 'politics' havo never reached than they havo i-eached in Athens, not excepting South Carolina. Tho intrigues of the harem are more rospectublo than tho wiles of tho Greek 'statesmen.' " The reformers in South Carolina, con? sisting of Democrats, Ilepublicans--white and colored-desire to improvo this state of affairs. Wo have, too, to contend with the "wiles" of "statesmen"-mon who have grappled themselves together with hooks of "steel." - It appears that the Democratic party have swept tho State of New York. The latest reports foot up a rnnjority of nearly 90,000 votos, and many of the rural preoincts heretofore radical have been carriod by tho Democracy. Tho New York Times attributes tho Waterloo . defeat of its party to "P.epublicau" apathy and calls for stronger spirit and more effective organization. ? ? ? ? A special despatch to tho Charleston Republican, dated Columbia, May 23, says: Congressman Hogo has nominated for appointment to West Point Military Acadomy a colored youth, nnmed James W. Smith, son of Alderman Smith, of Columbia. Young Smith has completed a two years' course at Howard Univer? sity, and has attended Cambridgo Col logo. Supervisory Architect Mullett is hore from Washington, in reference to the locution of a new post office. IT IS COMINO.-Let tho North beware. In tho United States Senate, on Friday, Mr. Sherman offered an amendment to the bill to enforco the fifteonth amend? ment, providing heavy penalties for re? peating and illegal registration, unlaw? ful interference with election officers, and unlawful disturbances of political meetings, designed, ns ho said, particu? larly to correct tho notorious abuses in New York, but of course applying to tho whole country. Mr. Thurman de? nounced Sherman's proposition ns the most startling that had yet been made. Notice to tile OItlsenc of Lexington Co. The citizens of Lexington, white and colored, who are opposed to high taxes, and in favor of on honest and economi? cal administration of the State Govern? ment, aro respectfully invited and re? quested to moot, en 7nasse, in the Court House, on Monday, the 6th day of Juno next. Tho object of the meeting will be to select delegates to attend the Conven? tion of the Citizens' Reform Party, which will meet on the 15th June next, at Columbia. This notice is given after consultation with, and at the request of prominent men from all sections of tho County. We argo upou the people tho importance of this move, and hope that each neighborhood will send, at least, ono representativo man. Remember that this is to bo tho beginning of tho fall campaign, whon it is hoped that all honest men, white and black, will unite in relieving the State of that official cor? ruption which is now so injurious to the interests of tho good and virtuous of nil classes and conditions. LEXINGTON C. H., May 21, 1870. -1-.-*?. WHITTEMOUE AS A FINANCIER.-In view of tho notorious Cadet Pedler's probable return to Congress, from whioh he was expelled with ignominy, a correspondent of the Baltimore Expi'ess favors the pub? lic with specimens of his office-holding and milengo finnnoiering, ns follows: Mr. Whittomore's residenco is at Darlington. "Tho most usually traveled route" to Washington-in fact, the only direct route-is as follows: From Dar? lington to Florence, twelve miles; from Florcnco to Richmond, via Wilmington, Weldon aud Petersburg, and from Rich? mond to Washington, via Acquia Creek, .192 miles. Mr. Whittomoro was elected Slate Senator tho samo timo he wns elected a member of Congress. Ho left homo as a State Senator for tho State Capitol, and, after the ratification of tho fourteenth amendment and tho election of United States Senators, in which he participated, ho started to Washington via Charleston. In his mileage account, as an M. C., ho charged from Darling? ton to Columbia, and round that way to Washington, G32 miles, (instead of 492 miles,) and also drew mileage from tho State from his home to Columbia and back. Thia was done on four several occa? sions. Mr. Whittcmoro also held both positions, drawing pay as a Stato Senator of South Carolina and as a member of Congress, until it was suggested to him that he had better resign tho formor po? sition, which ho did. And such is thu man who is coming to Washington to claim the scat from which he was so re? cently expelled. The following tablo we find in an ex? change. We thiuk it will bo found to be useful in explaining tho relative value of many indefinite terms which have be como as "common as pig tracks." Wo can see no impropriety in it, as it is per? fectly usoloss tb employ so many terms uulcss there is some value attached: 3 right-smarts make a heap. ? heaps inako one pile. 3 piles make lots. 4 lots make ono gob. 8 gobs mako ono scad. 3 scads mako one oodlc. 5 oodles mako ono doad loud. 2 dead loads mako moro'n a mule can pull. Thirsty people, go to Pollock's. WEST POINT KU KLUX.-Notwithstand? ing the fact that nearly all tho cadets at West Point uro of radical appointment and of Northern birth, thi?y looked with the greatest disfavor ou Butler's recent attempt to introduce a colored brother into their classes and messes. It is re? lated that, when one of them was asked how the colored cadets would have becu received, he replied : "They would not have lived two nights after they entered." Billiard-Players, go to Pollock's. Tho newest Cuban sensation is that tho steamer Goorgo B. Upton, which sailed from New York on Saturday last, has a commission from tho Junta aa a regular man-of-war. Sho is said to havo a full complement of officers nud some 200 fighting men, besides a full supply of ammunition, shells, Ac. Everybody, go to Pollock's! Let this bo tho fournie dignity and praise: "In their raco Tu rear tho graces into second lifo, To give society ita highcat taste, Well-ordered homoiuan'a best delight to make, And by subniiasivo wisdom, modest skill With every goutlo caro-eluding art. To raise the virtues, animate tho bliss, And sweeten all tho toils of human lifo." Connoisseurs, go to Pollock's. Tho Eilgefield Advertiser says that an extensivo guano manufactory in Edge ticld was burned a short time since. It was the property of Francis Frazier, an enterprising colored man. Hungry people, go to Pollock's. Tho lady proprietor of an ice cream saloon, in Charleston, was arrested yes? terday, upon a warrant issued by Trial Justice Misbaw, for refusing to sell ice cream to colored persons.

Thcro must bo aoino thing in it, for wo hear it apoken of as a pre? paration of much morit, and ono prepared by Dr. Hcinitah himself, of distinguished phar? maceutical reputation. Tho euphonious sou? briquet, "QUEEN'S DELIGHT," has in itseli an attraction which should commend it to our lady frionds in need of BO excellent a medi? cine, and wo suppose all would bo benefited by its use.

Physicians, of high repute, aro using thia groat remedy, in daily practice, all over Goorgia. Hcroaitcr no woman need suffer from suppressed, suspended or irregu? lar menstruation.

The laat Medical Journal contains an arti? cle from Prof. H. S. Newton, M.
