COLUMBIA, S. C. Wednesday Morning:, Jone 1,1870. The reoent Fenian raid on Ganada oan find few apologists, outside the "Bro? therhood," in any portion of the world. It purport? to be conducted in the inte? rests of free government, and to punish England for her political offences; yet Canada is as free as any country on tho faoe of the globe, and she is, moreover, by no means responsible for the rulo of England over the sister-isle. How n lawless attack upon Cauada is expected to benefit Ireland, or avenge her inju? ries, is therefore wholly beyond our comprehension. Claiming to be Irish Americans, and, ns such, owing no alle? giance except to the United States, they yet presume to commit acts of war on a country with which the United States aro at peace, and, as Gen. O'Neill paradoxi? cally proclaims, from their "own conn try," "enter that of the enemy!" If they are American citizens, they have no business to engage in a foreigu war in which our Government is not a party. If they are still Irishmen, in sentiment and allegiance, and "Ireland for the Irish" is their watoh-word and refrain, their Ireland should be thc scene of their patriotic endeavors and England their only foe. We make these observations more in sorrow than in anger, for we are fully convinced that the ill-advised con? flict, now pending, has been precipitated by rash and reckless men, guided by n petty ambition rather than a broad, catholic and well considered policy. That it will come to a lame and impo? tent conclusion, no reasonable mau can doubt. "The vigor of the war will most lamentably fail to come up to tho high sounding spirit of the manifesto." The New York World Bays: GRANT'S GRAMM AK.-An ignoramus, who prudently withholds his name, un? dertakes to justify General Grant's bad grammar in the following communica? tion: "A oollectivo noun, conveying tho idea of unity, the verb must agrco with it in the singular number." [Brown's Grammar. Bead Grant's proclamation over again. Our correspondent misapplies a rule which be does not understand. He does not know the meaning of a collective noun. Such nouns are always singular in form, with a plural signification; as, for example, assembly, flock, army, etc. The phrase, United States, is a regular plural; and if Gen. Grant were conver? sant with the Constitution and laws, his mind would have becomo familiarized with the usage whioh always joins this phrase with a plural verb, or represents it by a plural pronoun. Tho Constitu? tion, for instance, says: "Treason against the United States shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies. " Chancellor Kent, who understood both law and grammar, says, in his Commentaries: "The United States are entitled," etc. Although Grant com? mitted this blunder, we do not suppose that eveu he would be foolish enough to defend it. It is Grant's politics, and not his gram? mar, that we find at fault. The question hinges upon governmental principles. If the United States is a nation, Grant's grammar is right. If tho United States are separate Stater, forming a republic of co-equal communities, then, his gram? mar is wrong. ?-??-? A SOUTHERN SEIUES-HOMS ENTER rrtisE.-DeBow's Review for March-April contains the following just and spirited reference to a Columbia enterprise. Speaking of Reynolds' Primary School Books-Messrs. Duffie & Chapman, pub? lishers-the Review says: The pictorial primer and readers arc very well adapted to tho purpose of im? partial instruction. The Fourth Header will supply a want of which all Southern men are familiarly conscious. Tho his? tory of the late war, its causes, and con? sequences, must bo taught tho youth of the republic. While we wish no repre? sentation made nt tho expense of the North, or of truth, we will bo satisfied with nothing short of historical justice. Let our children be taught that thu South resisted tho power of tho North, because it bolieved it was a duty aud n right to do so. That in a war thus com? menced upon honest conviction, it fought, fairly, manly, nobly. That as a conquered country, it kept its covenants. That tho virtue and intelligence of its people compare with tho highest stan? dard of civilization. While thu Fourth Bender of Professor Reynolds does not teach history in detail, tho examples given of literary and political genius are such as to iu8piro our youth with tho conviction that those from whom they arc descended or allied, aro worthy of honor and imitation. We commend this series of school books to families and to schools. Wo trust to seo history so com? piled as that without depriving any other section of tho honor to which it may bo entitled, it will extend to the oppressed and impoverished sons of the South the commendation to which their courage and character entitles them. Tho General Conference of the M. E. Churob, after transacting a largo amount of business of no general importance, adjourned sine die on Thursday. Just before adjourning, Bishop Androws deli? vered bia farewell address, ns, owing to his extreme ago, it was not probable that ho would over meet with thom again. To tho Citizen? of IUchlnntl. The citizens of Richland, white and colored, irrespective of party, but who aro in favor of economy, retrenchment and reform, low taxes and a wise, pa? triotic and honest administration of our State Government, are requested to meet in their respeotive townships on Saturday, 4th Juno next, and select four delegates each to attend a County Con? vention, to be held at Columbia on the first Monday in June next, for the pur? pose of appointing delegates to the State Convention, which will assemble on the 15th of that month. REFORMISTS. THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IN A CRITICAL POSITION.-The New York Times, a Re? publican journal, argues that the time has come for the party to take a now de? parture "The negro," it soys, "has ceased to bo a central figure." It says: Both Houses aro arrayed in two fac? tions, tho one seeking to inaugurate new and harsh measures toward the South, and the other to secure pacification, and to construct some wise and prudent po? licy independently of the old issues of the war. There is no question how the gi eat body of tho people stand os be? tween tho two. They are tired of the struggle which has so long existed with re? gard to the negro, and desire to march with tho times. The world does not standstill, although tho Republican par? ty may. We must deal with the live questions of the hour. How this can be accomplished, is tho problem which is pressing for n, solution. Although wo do not believe that tho poli? cy of a great party can bo suddenly formed, we are sure that it is the part of wisdom promptly to grapple with all dif? ficulties of politics aud government. It is idle to attempt to avade or postpono action. It is not to bo denied that the Republican party lacks a broad national policy with regard to finance, taxation, and imposts. For six months, Republi? can leaders in Congress have been at log? gerheads on those subjects, and the country is apparently no nearer a solu? tion of any one of them than it was at the beginning of tho session. Yet tho approaching campaign will probably largely depend ou these issues, and the whole nation is anxiously wnitiug to have them cleared out of the way ia order that it may comprehend its true position and prospects. It is to be feared that the people will refuse to wait much longer. Postmasters and other persons through? out tho country aro in daily receipt of speciously worded circulars from oroide watch dealers in Now York city, to in? vest, or to act as agents, for some so called celebrated oroido watch. Our readers will save themselves, and per? haps their friends, from humbuggery in this matter, by remembering that oroide is simply a high-sounding word for brass, and oroide is brass-only brass and nothing more. The brass is tinc? tured with some preparation to prevent its coloring, and is called oroido, but tho value per pound is tho same as the original brass. In n suit brought against u New York firm, by tho National Watch Company, for advertising Elgin watches C. O. D., numerous express ngents throughout tho country mado ullidavit us to the worthless character of most of tho watches sold by C. O. D. ad vertisemets, and of thc numerous class of oroido watches sent out by express from New York. Thc agent at Madisou, Wisconsin, testified that "of all of that class of watches that had passed through his hands, ho had never known ono to I prove worth u five dollar noto, and that tho purchasers wero invariably dissatis? fied, aud considered themselves swin? dled." Other agents testified from practical observation to the samo effect. In view of tho light thus thrown upon tho oroido watch business, wo trust none of our readers may be taken in by those circulars. If a person is iuclined to bny j a watch, let him go to a dealer whom he knows, and can hold responsible, and bay a watch of known character and of value, suuh as those made at Elgin, III., Roxbury and Waltham, Mass., and by tho best Swiss makers; they aro all good, and will all lust livo timos as long as tho oroido watches. It certainly is a better investment to pay twico as much, and get a valuable article, thau it is to pay out money and have a piece of brut* to show for it. Quebec was visited early on Tuesday morning, as was briefly announced by telegraph, with ono of tho most disas? trous conflagrations ever known in tho history of that city. Tho area over which tho fire swept, was covered with wooden dwellings and tho flames spread with such fierceness as to drive hundreds of people from their houses to places of safety. Tho sight, in some cuses, was most appalling. Women, with barely a stitch of clothing, were met at every turu, most of them carrying their chil? dren, and rushing about in u wild and insane-li ko manner. As tho wind rose, the flames gathered strength and inten? sity, leaping with fearful violeuco from ono building to another, sweeping before them everything of a combustible nature. Tho wind, blowing strong from tho East, directed tho tendency of tho flames to? wards King and Queen streets, through which they swept with terrible force, en? veloping at one time over fifty buildings. These streets, in some places, exhibited a most awful appearance, a perfect whirl? wind of fire being observable in every direction. Fortunately, at 4 o'clock a. m., rain begun to full, whioh soon check? ed the flames, and this, with tho almost superhuman efforts of tho firemen, stayed the further progress of the fire fiend. It is estimated, however, that 500 buildings wero destroyed. Two ships wore also burned to tho water's edge, and several persons wore injured by falling walls. "I love theo still," as the quiet hus band said to tho chattering wife. Proceedings 9i Council. SPECIAL HEETH?a. i OomrarXi CHAMBER, COLUMBIA, May 81, 1870.

When ho concluded, tho colored postmaster of the placo (Florence) mounted thu rostrum and said: "Ido not question that Whittemoro may bo what Mr. Dann says he is; but I must euqniro, may not Mr. Dunn, who is also from Massachusetts, bo also a thief." If tho "reformers" really meant "biz," they would nominate that darkey for Congress against both Whittemoro and Dunn.

MOBHON MARRYING.-A correspondent writing from Salt Lake City, gives the following: "I witnessed a eight this morning which I will desoribe, but the cironmBtance is probably not a fair one from which to draw general reference?. An old farmer drove into the city with a load of country prodaoe for sale. Seated with him were two women, ono on either Bide. Ono of these damsels was old and wrinkled, tho other mitch younger, but decidedly the worso for wear-thia fe? male had an infant in her arms. Upon the back seat were two young women and a half-grown boy. Both the women carried babies. I, of course, supposed that this party was father, mother and children. Judge of my snrpriso when I learned that the old man was the hus? band of all four woman, and tho old woman was tho motker of the yonng ones. Think of itl One man married toa mother and three daughters 1 At first I could not believe that human na? ture could become so degraded; but on inquiry of a well known Mormon I learned that the facts wero precisely ns first stated to mo." Dr. Phillips, who lately held tho po? sition of American Consul at Santiago de Cuba, but who was driven from tho island by the Spaniards, arrived in New York a few days ago. His statements as to the state of affairs among tho Cubans fully confirm those of General Jordan, and are caloulated to give decided en? couragement to tho friends of the Cuban cause. Ho has long been a resident of Cuba, and hus enjoyed unusual means of obtaining uccurato information ns to tho ' condition ol' affairs on thc island, nud his reports are, therefore, eutitled to more tliau usual credence. He soys that the Cubans wero nover in better condi? tion for fighting than now. They aro moro thoroughly organized and drilled than tliey over were before, and are tak? ing tho offensive in ronny quarters. He suys further that tho rainy season has put an end to.offensive operations on the part of tho Spaniards, thousands of whom aro in the hospitals, while the ac? climated Cubans are free from disease. Con. JOHNSTON'S LETTER.-In another colamn will be found a letter from Col. Johnston, President of tho Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Railroad, in which he seeks to correct a statement in tho local columns of this paper in rela? tion to the Wilmington, Columbia and Augusta Railroad. Our information was received from what wo considered good authority, and tho maia point made by Colonel Johnston is, that no negotia? tions, oither verbal or otherwise, have been had between himself and Mr. Bridgcrs since the latter has been Presi? dent of tho W.f C. ic A. R. R. Whether such negotiations were made prior to Mr. Britlgers becoming Presidont of the new road, Col. J. does not say. We are glad to know that Col. J. is willing to nego? tiate on fair terms with the W., C. & A. R, R., and hope that uo difficulties will be thrown in the way of a speedy com? pletion of that important work. [Augusta Chronicle. A traveler in Texas writes that Austin is a very beautiful placo, and though lacking tho ordinary means for illumi? nating tho streets, has hit upon a very orguuical method. He says: "So soon as tho sun goes down you seo a rod haired girl como out and plant hersolf on each corner of the street. Wo then turu loose the lightning-bugs, and the two makes it as light as day. I have been brought twice before the authori? ties for hugging lamp-posts, and fined very heavily. A man named Elijah Monsell, of Mon? son, Mass., recently caught tho small? pox, and, ignorant of tho fact, 6prcad the disease in his family. His wife, mother and two children died from tho effects within two weeks, and he, left alone, the solo occupant of his onco happy home, became despondent and was driven to suicide. In tho case of a negro who sued a con? fectioner in Now Orleans, last week, for $5,000 damages for not entertaining him as if ho were a white man, tho jury failed to agree and was discharged. They stood six to six-five negroes and ono whito man for the plaintiff, and six white mon for the defendant. On Thursday, a party of Winnebago Indians, located on a reservation in Ne? braska, made their appearance on tho premises of a farmer living twenty-five miles above Sioux City, and while ho was ploughing, shot him ih tho back and afterwards severed his head from his body. The Indians wore captured. Dresses aro trimmed so elaborately this season that but little of tho original ma? terial can bo seen, and tho dressmakers buy au inferior quality of goods for tho foundation of tho skirt, and tho trim? mings are of a more costly material. SUICIDE.-Mr. E. J. Judah, tho editor of tho Monitor, published at Quiney, Florida, committed suicide in that place on Friday evening, by shooting himself through tho head with a pistol. At Indianapolis, a young lady laid down to sleep with a lighted candi? at her bed-side When Bile woko up, it was too luto to put herself out, and the coroner was notified.

ROAD.-It is rumored that a movement is on foot looking to the construction of this road, the eh ar ter for which was sc? oured some time since. The parties, whose names at a connected with it, are possessed of unquestionable ability to execute any whrk they undertake, and besides, we presume, they would find ready allies in the able and energetic managers of the Raloigh and Custon Railroad, whose interest in this project oau bo reasonably inferred from the zeal with which, as reported, they sought the construction of the Chatham Rail? road about ono year ago. As the lines of tli3se two companies are almost iden? tical, nothing would seem moro natural thau un earnest nud harmonious co-ope? ration between thom, in the prosecution of this important enterprise.

M. (Brick) Pome? roy, Esq. : ..Ono of tho very best magazines ever published in tho United States is the XIX Century, published at Charleston, S. C. Thero is a life, vigor, boldness, earnestness, elasticity, comprehensibility and variety in its pages and articles very refreshing. From first to last, the work is perfect. Its pages contain some of the finest literary productions of the age, while its editorials evince a know? ledge of men, manners and customs, uations and tho laws of nations, greatly in contrast with many magazine articles purporting to come from the 'eading statesmen and brilliant minds of the day. Thero is to ho found in the XIX Century tho usual variety of light and heavy reading, sketches, descriptive articles, reminiscences, arguments, incidents and editorial mentionings-all evincing tho highest order of talent, aud most excel? lent taste in make-up and presentation. "The price of this worthy and most excellent magazine is three dollars and a half per year-single numbers thirty-five cents. We advise our readers, especially tho ladies, to subscribe for it, if they can afford so to do. If they would see for themselves the beauties and excellences of tho work, let them enclose thirty-five cents to the publishers nt Charleston, S.
