COLUMBIA, S. C. Saturday Morning. May 28, 1870. Behind tb? Times-Tlie Old va. the New Regime. Our ootemporary of the Sumter News, who seems to hold that the Press Con? ference made a fatal error when it sug? gested to the people of South Carolina that it was time to accept accomplished facts-Buch as the fact of the fifteenth amendment-and to take, as it wero, a new departnre in the matter of political movement, says it has taken its stand at the poss of ita Thermopylae, nud inti? mates that right there it will die. Let us beg oar cotemporary not thus to die. Does not the News understand that many of -those old time sentiments are now discarded, in this age of fast men and fast women, and fast horses and fast things in general? Take the case of Cartius, who leaped in the yawning gulf that refused to "shut up" until it should receive the most precious thing in Borne. Why, it is now very generally admitted that he did a very foolish act. To think, too, that ho should havo carried with him his best suit nf armor and his finest horse, and did not have his life insured in tho "Piedmont and Arlington," for the benefit of his family? "Why, the general sentiment, in this common-sense age, is, that Curtius was u foolish fellow, and did he live now, and were he to do the same thing ogaiu, who can doubt but that a New York jory would decide that at the moment just before spurring his charger for the fatal leap, ho was non com? pos mentis. Take tho case of the man who thought it was "glorious to die in arms"-who originated the idea that "it is sweet and honorable to dio for one's country." Why, this thing is now exploded-utterly exploded. It is now very generally con? ceded that it is far better to live for one's country, or rather, wo should say, on one'scountry. "Glorious to die in arms!" Absurd thought. How moro glorious to live a politician in tho South, or a mem? ber of a railroad ring, oran office-holder. Take the case of Cambronne, who is Credited on historic page with the grand reply: "The Old Guard dies, bul does not surrender." Victor Hugo says that Cam? bronne made no such reply-but re? sponded in a word less classical than represented, but not less emphatic. And so wo might go on and continue our illustrations, to show that tho "dead past must bury its dead." We hope, there? fore, that the Sumter News will roverse its judgment. If the stranger has to say, "at Laccdemon," that the News did die at its Thermopylae, or if it did dye, dyed its hair only, we will answer for it, that an indulgent public will adjudge its non-immolation as entirely excusable. Let us put our house in order, not to die, but to live. "OUR POSITION."-"Tho Columbia Guardian can't comprehend the position of those papers which dare dissent from the doings of the 'Press Conference.' "We will not acquiesce in oppressive, illegal und unconstitutional legislation, for the sake of political power, auy sooner than wo would barter our princi? ples for office or the hope of reward. "We trust, as far as the Democrat is concerned, that 'the position'is now un? derstood."-Darlington Democrat. Just so. That is our position, and has been from the first. IVe stand shoulder lo shoulder with the Democrat, in the pass of Thermopt/la;."-Sumter News. -? i *-. POLITICS IN GREECE AND POLITICS IN SOUTH CAROLINA.-A correspondent of the London Times tells a neat story il? lustrating tho truo origin and meaning of brigandage in Greece. Tho British embassy rejoiced in a stately old Greek porter, whose conduct was irreproacha? ble. The blamoloss siro unluckily pos? sessed a prodigal son, who fell amoug thieves and became n most masterful robber. In the way of his new profes? sion he spoiled some English officers, and though tbo fact that tho sufferers served Great Britain, which power "stands no nonsense," led to nn almost immediate restoration of their valuables, tho Minister thought it necessary to in? form his porter of the evil deeds of his progeny. The good old mau, clasping his hands in grief, exclaimed: "Ah! your Excellency, and I who had always begged and entreated him to avoid poli? tics!" It would seem that politics in Greece and politics in South Carolina produce similar effects. Our readers will soo tho point. - DR. WILSON ELECTED. - Our tele? graphic advices from Louisville, yester? day, announce tho election of Hov. Dr. Wilson, of this city, by tho Presbyterian General Assembly, to the Chair of Pasto? ral Theology in tho Columbia (S. C.) Theological Seminary. Tho learning and piety of this eminent diviuc pecu? liarly recommend him to tho distinguish? ed position to which he has been chosen, and wo congratulate tho Seminary upon its good fortune, through the wisdom of tho Assemblj', in tho selection made, while a large circle of friends in this city will regret any necessity that may in consequence arise for tho removal of thc reverend Doctor from our midst to other fiolds of labor. [Augusta Consililuliunalist. A Cincinnati editor is said to have had his bust chiseled out of n dead beet. To tko Cltlxons of Richland. The citizens of Richland, white and colored, irrespective of party, but who are in favor of economy, retrenchment and reform, low taxes and a wiso, pa? triotic and honest administration of our Stnto Qovernment, aro requested to meet in their respective townships on Saturday, 4th Juuo next, and select four delegates each to attend a County Con? vention, to bo held at Columbia on tho first Monday in June next, for tho pur? pose of appointing dolegatos lo tho State Convention, which will assemble ou the 15th of that month. REFORMISTS. Notice to tito Citizen? of Lexington Co. Tho citizens of Lexington, whito and colored, who nro opposed to high tuxes, and in favor of an honest and economi? cal administration of tho State Govern? ment, aro respectfully invited and re? quested to meet, en 7nasse, in tho Court House, on Monday, the Gth day of Juno next. The object of the meeting will be to select delegates to attend tho Conven? tion of tho Citizens' Reform Party, which Viii meet on the 15th Juno next, at Columbia. This notice is given after consultation with, and at tho request of prominent men from nil sections of tho County. Wo nrgo upon the pcoplo tho irnportauco of this move, and hopo that each neighborhood will send, at least, ono representative man. Remember that this is to bo the begiuuiug of tho fall campaign, when it is hoped that all honest men, whito and black, will unite in relieving tho State of that oBiuial cor? ruption which is now so injurious to the interests of the good and virtuous of all classes and conditions. LEXINGTON C. H., May 21, 1S70. THE EMIGRATION TO TEXAS.-A corres? pondent of the St. Louis Republican, who traveled recently with a body of cmigrauts from the Southern States across the Mississippi to Toxas, and con? versed with them, gives the result of his inquiries. Most of them were never slave nor laud owners to auy considera? ble extent-some were mechanics-the lot of all was to work for a living. In slave times they made a comfortable sup? port, and wore not brought iuto direct contact or competition with tho negro. But sinco abolition, tho entire labor sys? tem has been changed. The large landed proprietors do not seem inclined to sell portions of their land, or to encourage the establishment of small farms. In leasing, they lease to tho best bidder, whether whito man or freedman; iu hir? ing, they biro tho cheapest labor, white or black. Tho freedman has the advan? tage in thnt it costs him but little to live, and also in tho fact that ho will save ex? pense by stealing. For reasons of this kind, these white people como to Texas, whore there is ample room for them to choose situations-where land is cheap and fertile, and the climate genial-where everything needed by mun can be raised in abundance-where tho colored popu? lation is small, compared with tho whito -where there was not so much destruc? tion by tho war, nuil where the advantago of railroads penetrating iu every direc? tion is soon to be enjoyed. Ax OLD MERCHANT VICTIMIZES THE MERCHANTS OF SAVANNAH.-On Tuesday, tho Savannah community was more tbtin shocked, it was actually fermented, by tho discovery of immense forgeries on tho part of Messrs. Epstein & Einstein, a well established dry goods firm, carry? ing on business at No. 119 Congress street. As soon as tho forgeries becatno known, Epstein fled, but Einstein was arrested and gave bail in the sum of 80,000; but he denies any knowledge of the forgerios. When Einstein was ar? rested, tho goods of the firm were levied upou. The stock, though large, is not sufficient to cover the losses, which it is believed will amount to almost ?70,000. Wisconsin law is evidently modeled after that of the Modes and Persiaus. A life convict in the State prison there having, during the recent fire, saved tho building aud its inmates from certain destruction by blowing off tho steam in tho eugine room, at tho peril of his own lifo and at tho cost of a severe scalding, wo are told that "a movement is on foot to secure bis pardon, partly on account of this exhibition of bravery, and partly becauso it bas beou proved that bo was iuuoceut of the charge which imprisoned him." Unaided iunocenco, puro and simple, would, of course, afford no grouud for pardon. EVERY ONE TO ms TASTE.-A few days sinco a gentleman living ou tho Comba heo River shot and killed au alligator. On cutting him up there was found in bis stomach a large lightwood knot, a whole bottle, and tho neck and bottom of another, and a bunch of hair about a half of a foot in diameter. Tho edges of tho brokon pieces of bottle were perfectly smooth. lt is evideut that tiiis animal had not been dieting himself. Tho man who cut up this alligator stated that bis father had killed one onco iu whose stomach was a corked bottle full of whiskey. ! TERHHILE HAIL STORM IN BARNWELL. . A correspondent writes to tho Charles j ton News from Barnwell, S. C., under I dale of tho 25th: "I saw a gentleman ! yesterday who informed me that in his j neighborhood, about twenty miles from j hore, in this Count}-, Ibero was a hail ; storm on Wednesday last which literally cut up the crops. The earth was covered j with ice, and in some hollow places along j the road tbero were piles of hail that I reached to the floor of tho buggy. In sheltered positions bo saw it until Satur? day." Tho Emperor of Russia drinks 200 roubles worth of wino a day, and that's wlmt 'rubles his friends. Correspondance or th? Pheonix. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 25, 18T0. The fifteenth amendment bill, or as it is now called tho enforcement bill, as amended by the Conference Committee, is most stringent. The sections of the bill imposing fines and penalties on all persons who, in any way, prevent colored men from voting, aro retained, and United States Courts aro authorized to investigate any election where an affida? vit is made that colored voter? are re? fused. But the thirteenth seotion of the bill, whioh allowed the use of land and naval forces on application of tho United Stales Marshals to euforeo the Act, is so modified as to allow only the judiciary to determino tho necessity of United States military aid, and only on their application to tho President shall tho military bo usod. This modification of tho thirteenth section has in part satis? fied the objection made by tho Demo? crats, that the Presidont would, under this bill, bo empowered to call to his aid the military in carrying any election. The Virginia election, which takes placo to-morrow, was mado a pretence for hurrying the bill through both Houses, and get tho President's signature in time to bo effective in tho election. Unexpectedly yesterday, in tho Com? mittee of tho Whole, on the consular and diplomatie appropriation bill, Mr. Voor hees, of Indians, moved to strike ont the consulate at Santiago, Cuba; for reason that tho Americau Hug at this consulate failed to protect tho American citizens. This brought up thu Cuban question, which was warmly discussed by different members, nono of whom dared to utter n syllable in opposition to accord? ing belligereut rights to Cuba. . Tho House Committee on Pacific Railroads has agreed to report a bill, giving to Memphis and El Pass road, better known as Fremont's road, ten sections of lund to the mile in tho State?, aud twenty sections to the mile in the Territories through which it is to pass Tho lobbyists for tho Northern and Southern Pacific roads, it is uuderstood, had ogreed to work together in engineer? ing their bills through Congress, and are urging tho committee to embrace the first favorable opportunity, when many of tho enemies of theso bills are absent, to report. It is earnestly hoped by a'l who aro interested in reserving our pub? lic domain-which if now divided among -10,000,000, our present estimated population, there would be thirty acres to each man, woman aud child-for the benefit of its rightful owners, iusteud of giving it away to railroad monopolists, that the opponents of tho bill will re? main at their posts and be ready for the emergency. Your readers have no doubt seen an account of tho attempted bribo of Sena? tor Carpenter, by ono Lewis Porter. This mau Porter is assistant postmaster of this city, and beforo his appointment to this position, was known about thc city as a member of tho Third House, and as a tool for doing Michigan Chan? dler's dirty work. Chandler succeeded ic having Colonel Alexander, a Republican and a soldier of four years standing, re moved from tho post office, and a mac by tho narnu of Edmonds, from Michi gan, appointed in his place, and this man Porter, from tho sumo State, ap? pointed assistant, neither having evoi been in the army or done auything foi tho preservation of tho Union. Portei is still in the post office, although h< attempted lo bribe a Senator, while General Scheopf, a soldier through tin whole war, was recommended by Logai and his committee for removal, and wai removed from the patent office while hi was only a middle party in tho Butle sale of cadetship. Such is Republican ism-Grant, Creswell, tho Senato, am tho amolliug committee on cadetships o ! tho House are all silent about this trans j action. Chaudler bas quieted the mat ter and no mun dare apeak. Bo i spoken to his credit, Porter remained a home during thc war and mado mono; by furnishing "shoddy" for tho soldiers and became a rich mau-Grant am Creswell worship rich men; he is safe. Tho (Ecumenical Couuoil. You wil ask what have I to do with theOcumeui cal Council, and I answer not much, ti bo sure; and guess that thoso who hay to do with it, most especially would b glad if they were similarly situated, o that it had never been called. So anx ious aro tho leading men of this tm church in regard to tho probable evil ol feet of thc adoption of tho infallibility dogma upon American minds, tba already a father Boyle, of this city, ha commenced to preparo tho minds of tb fnitbful for it in lectures, by telling thet that it is nothing-nothing but what th church has always received; that it i Protestants only who aro making n fus about it; and that no good Catholic wi object to it. But tho American Bishop at Rome, it may bo perceived, do nc take this view of it by any means, an because of their opposition, tho Pop talks ot takiug stringeut measures wit them. It is evident to all thinkin minds that the adoption of this positio will bea heavy blow to tho church hen where people reason for themselves, an read so much of each other's views, ovo if it could bo received without a wry fae elsewhere, which I seo is by no mean tho casu every where, even in tho ol world. Notwithstanding tho stringency in th money market, and tho stagnation i business generally of all kinds througl ont tho country, tho business of th Patent Otlico is still increasing.

Interesting Speech Uy Prince Czartor y?UI -"Poland Again Bnil?lnlng tile Aus tro~IIungarlan Monnrcliy.'* The Loudon Daily News publishes tho following: An interesting speech on tho position of the Pules in the present Austrian crisis was made bj Prince Czartoryski lost Monday, at tho meeting of the Polish Historical Society of Paris, held in com? memoration of tho Polish Constitution of May 3, 1791. He said that while in Russian Poland the Poles have evory year to deploro new acts of oppression, u moro cheering prospect is offered them by tho present condition of Austria. The centralist system in that country has now been overthrown by Polish states? men, aud ono of them, Count Potocki, I has been appointed by tho Emperor, to | inaugurate a new policy as Premier. Polaud is again called upon, ns she was two centuries ago nuder her glorious King Sobieski, to sustain and defend tho Austro-Hungariau monarchy. That State, which was formerly a bug-bear to all Liberals, has now become tho hume of liberty; aud its integrity and independ? ence arc looked upon us indispensable for the freedom of Europe and tho in? terests of civilization, lt is to secure this integrity aud independence that tho Pules, who have formed in Austria their hiBt refuge, are now laboring. Their policy is no longer a policy of sentiment; they bavo ceased to roly on distant and barren sympathies; they found their hopes only on au intimate mission with their natural ally, who has tho same in? terests and the same enemies as them? selves. Convinced that their future is indissolubly bouud up with tho destinies of tho Hapsburg monarchy, they have undertaken to introduce in Austria a policy which shall reconcile tho unity aud strength of the empire with a rea? sonable autonomy for those provinces which bear a distinct national character aud historical rights. They must reject a purely Slavonic policy, for the word Sluvouiau bas of late years almost be? come synonymous with Russian, and the result of such policy can only be to eu large Russia at thc expeuso of Austria, and place the Czar in possession of Con? stantinople. Tho Poles would rather join the Germans in Austria than help the Slavonians to become predominant in the empire. A federalist policy would be equally daugeous, for it would divide Austria into seventeen little States, each with its own separate legislature. Thc prince concluded by stating bis political programme. It is as follows: First, the preservation, as tho most importaut ob? ject tho Poles have iu view, of the uuity and integrity of Hungary; second, tho maintenance of a central Parliament of Vienna; third, tho acceptance of tho present constitution as the fundamental law of tho Austro-Hungariau monarchy; fourth, the grant of exceptional privileges to Galicia and Bohemia as regards pub? lic instruction, justice, and local ad? ministration, by means of a special agreement similar to that which has been coucluded between Hungary and Croatia; tiftil, tho establishment of a restricted Reicbsrath for all tho provinces except Galicia and Bohemia, and of a plenary j Reiuhsruth, to include those provinces. THE PNEUMATIC TUUEOVEUFOUU HUN DIIED MILES LONO-SEVENTEEN SECONDS FltOM LONDON TO GLASGOW.-Thc follow? ing extract from a privato letter de? scribes the operation of a pneumatic tube between Glasgow and London. Probably few of our readers aro aware of the existence of tho process by which messages nnd 'packages aro almost in? stantaneously transmitted between these two cities: I had occasion to scud a telegram to Lou? don the other day und in a. few minutes re? ceived it reply, which led me to bupposo that a serious error had been committed by my agents, involving many thousand pounds. I immediately went to the tele? graph eifliee and asked to see my message. The clerk said, "We can't show it to you, as wo have sent it to London." "But," 1 replied, "you must have my original paper here; I wish to seo that." He again said, "No, wo bavo not got it; it is iu post oQieo at Loudon." "What do you mean?" I asked, "Pray, let mo seo tho paper I loft hero an hour ago." "Well," said he, "if you must seo it, we will get it back in a few minutes, but it is now in Loudon." Ho rang a bell, anti in live minutes or so producod my mes? sage, rolled up in pasteboard. It seems that for somo mouths there I has existed a pneumatic telegraph bo ' twixt Glasgow anti London and betwixt London and tho other principal cities of tho kingdom, which consists of au iron tube, into which the messages aro thrown and sent to their destination. I in qui red if I might seo a message sont. "Oh, yes; como round hero." Ho slipped a number of messages into tho pasteboard scroll, popped it into the tube, noel made n signal. I put my oar to tho tubo and heard a slight rumbling noiso for seven? teen seconds, when a bell rang beside me, indicating that the scroll hail arrived at tho general post office, ?OO miles oil! It almost took my breath to think of it. If I could only go to Boston with the same relativo speed, you might count on my passing an evening ever}* week at No. 1*2-1 Beacon street, and returning homo to .sleep. Who knows but wo may bo conveyed in this marvellous manner be? fore many years? Perhaps you aro awaro that there bas been a largo tubo between the General Post Oflieo in Loudon aud the station in Eustace square iu operation for a num? ber of years. The mail bags for tho North aro all sent by this conveyance, so that tho post ofl?ce receives letters up to a few minutes before the train leaves, three miles off. The transit takes less than two seconds! Surely this is un age of wonders. Louisville burglars have a new way of stealing a man's pantaloons when be ?3 asleep. They tio a cork-screw ou a pole, and run it through a broken wiuilow, and scrow it into the garment. That is tho worst yet. The Republican Party Dead. Tuesday's Democratic victory was tho 1 Waterloo defeat of Republicanism. It was not merely the sign of weakness; it waa the signal of collapse, the fore? shadowing of approaching dissolution. The great Republican party shrinks, niter that blow, from the proportions of a formidable giant to those of a sickly dwarf. Tts race is run; its mission is fullilled, and, in the shadow of its dis? comfiture on Tuesday last, wc seo it lag superfluous on tho political stage. Born of unnatural events, heaved to promi? nence by national convulsion, with tho passing away of the circumstances that created it, it passes away itself. Bril? liant aud ovon grand its career has been; but it possessed noue of tho elements of permanency, and its ephemeral existence now draws to a closo. We doubt if there is vitality enough in its organization to keep it together until tho next Presidential campaign. It is more than probable that its lenders will quietly turn it into the gravo that yawns to receive it, and will seek new issues and build a new party with which to enter tho Presidential struggle. Tho symptoms of its decay, as exhibited iu lust week's election, are too palpable to bo ignored by even its most sanguino partisans. If there had been any light in tho organization it would certainly have been brought ont in ii contest so important as that which involved tho se? lections of the judiciary of this great State. But there was not breath enough to fan even n fitful llamo of enthusiasm; the heart that had throbbed so fiercely in tho day of its pride and strength seemed nerveless, aud the sun weutdowu upon the decisive battle that seals thu fate of Republicanism, not in this State alone, but throughout the Republic. What an unanswerable attestation of tho innato strength, tho vitality, tho re? cuperative power of Democracy! It has passed alike the ordeal of triumph and defeat, handing down from generation to generation its unalterable principles, and from the cloud of disaster emerging as strong, as healthful, as hopeful as if tho flow of its sun-shine had been un? broken. Other political parties have been boru, have flourished aud have died; new doctrines have been preached and abandoned; but through all, in calm and tempest, with tho wind and against the wind, the Democratic ship has held its course, steering to-day by tho same light that guided the Democratic helms? men a half century ngo. The Ropublic can lnivo no better proof of tho virtue and value of a political creed than this stability, this unfaltering adherence throughout all tho vicissitudes of parti? san warfare. While other organizations, strong in their day, when their work is done, slink silently iuto the pa9t, the Democratic party, yielding nothing to Time, identifies itself with tho national existence, and witnessing to-dny the dying agonies of its latest and most for? midable foe, feels its own life-blood as vigorous as ever, feels no symptom of weakness, weariness or decay. I New York News. All the Domocratio papers in Indiana are full of names of Republicans who como out against their party on account of their adoption of the fifteenth amend? ment. Some of them aro prominent aud influential men; and tho number of hitherto Republicans who openly declare their purpose to vote against the Re publicaa party seems to bo upwards of 3,000.
