COLUMBIA. S. C. Saturday Morning. Jone 4,1870. u<Che Political Campaign ot 1870." Th? New York Times seems much concerned about tho future of the ?.Re? publican" party. It affirms that it is "on the threshold of the grand oampaign without preparation, without recog? nized leaders, and without any settled affirmative policy." Aa to the Democra? tic party, it says: "Recognizing the opportunity, how? ever, the Democratic leaders are dili? gently at work, preparing to take advan? tage of it. ? In nil the Southern States, the party is quietly being re-organized ? and disciplined; conventions are being held, and the press is actively at work. The same movement ia observable in moat of the Northern States. In Con? necticut, New York and Ohio, especially, has the party been aotive; and it is safo to anticipitate that as tho several eleo tions'take place, the party will be roused, to a desperate effort to retrieve their fallen fortunes in every part of the coun? try." Tho Times nt least does not seem to think that the Democratic party is dead. OOB GREAT NEED.-Tho Abbeville Press and Banner says: "What wo want at tho South is both more labor and more monicd capital. This is universally conceded. Labor is inefficient, and money is wanting. That blaok labor is unreliable, is what wo might ezpeot, under the circumstances. It arises as much from previous condi? tion and outside influences, as anything in race. It is about as good as the white labor which comes among us. We want the better class of white laborers, or none at all, it matters little whether they como from the North or from Europe-small farmers-agricultural la? borers-a thrifty population. The influ? ence of snob a population will elevate the character of the whole industrial class, and will bring the black race to the test of an activo competition, which will either make or mar their future. "Immigration affords the true, safe and only solution of the difficulties, material, social and political whioh environ us. To foster it is the dictate of self-interest, and of patriotism." AN ABOUTION WAR.-Tho radical ora? tors continue to assert that the late war was waged to free the negroes. At the Federal decoration ceremonies in Charles? ton, Monday last, General Wm. Gurney, referring to the Union soldiers, said they "had died that right might triumph over injustice, and that freedom might bo Siren to those in bondage." This may o in a stump speech, made avowedly for the purpose of getting negro votes, but it is hardly lawful to lie, standing unco? vered before high Heaven and in the solemn presence of the dead. History falsifies the statement. Tho frequent declarations of Mr. Lincoln, and tho rc- 1 peated resolutions of Congress during the wor, that there was no desire to in? terfere with slavery in the States, and the declaration of Grant, when tho oppo? site was intimated, that if it was an abo? lition war, he would resign and go home, all give the lie to the assortion that the war was for.ght to free the negro. That result was but an incident aud after? thought, and the negro nover would have beeu freed at all, but for tho belief that ho would bo valuable as a radical voter.-Savannah Republican. THE TRANSIT or VENUS.-A raro a uti important event in the astronomical world is to biko place in December, 1874 -the transit of Venus across the sun's disc. The English astronomers, oven at this early da}', aro making preparations for tho observation of the transit, as it will tnko much time to select remote sta? tions, provide the necessary instruments, and organize tho various parties. Tho object of all expensivo and troublesome labor is to ascertain the sun's distance from the earth; aud the transit of Venus, which does not occur once in a century, furnishes tho best known opportunity of finding out that distance. Tho establish? ed supposition that the sun is 95,000,000 miles away from the earth, has been re? calculated to bo 4,000,000 too much, and the correotnoss of the latter theory will be determined by the transit. Tho best points for the observation of this cvout will be in the Marquesas Islands, thc mouth of the Amoor River, Bombay, India, Melbourne, Australia, Turkey and Egypt. FREE SUFFRAGE.-Ono of the cardinal principles of tho Republican party, ns its presses everywhere allege, is free suf? frage; and yet in that little Republican State, Rhoclo Island, no citizen of fo? reign birth cnn vote, unless ho has a property qualification ; while every native citizen, tho negro included, is allowed to rocoivo that franchise. It was supposed that the fiftoeuth amendment would alter this state of affairs, and the foreign born citizens petitioned Congress to compel the Stato to amend its Constitution in accordance with the requirements of tho fifteenth amendment. But it so happens, says a cotomporary, that tho conserva? tives will carry Rhodo Island, if tho pro? perty qualification is abolished, and so the Judiciary Committee of the United Statos Senate roplios to tho petition with a report declaring that "there is nothing in the provision of tho Constitution pf Rhodo Island referred to in conflict with tho Constitution of tho United States." Comment is useless. Miss SCENT.-We recoived n package, says tho Union Times, with tho above cabalistic words upon tho wrapper. They must have boon roturnod by ono of the nation's "pet" post-mistresses, who, in her zeal to let us know how strictly sho complied with tho requirements of tho postal law, wroto her own name upon tho package. A. Fenian General** Statement. General O'Neil, one of the Fenian of? ficers who has been ar roa ted and im? prisoned at Burlington, Vermont, gives the following narrative: General O'Neil remarked : This move? ment on the Canadian frontier has long boen contemplated, and I have carefully oonsidered the subject for two years. You remember the attack and battle at Fort Erie, ia 18CG, in which the Fenians were victors. I saw at that time that Irish troops on Canadian soil would fight with desperation and courage, and that carefully organized and properly disci? plined, they would prove valiant soldiors. At that time we failed booauso our men did not have arms and ammunition; that was all they lacked ; so since that time I have been busy collecting 20,000 stand of arms and perfecting the organization of tho brotherhood, to get the entire order throughout the country to under? stand that we mast have troops, means for transportation, and quick, decisive movements up to the invasion. All the territory was carefully mapped out, and every projected movement was so timed that tho occupation of Canada was to be simultaneous and general along the line. I ox ?J ec ted on Tuesday last to have 1,000 men ot Franklin; by Wednesday noon over 1,000 more were to report there. Every precaution had been taken to im? pose seoresy, and though tho country is flooded with a sea of British spies, not one detail of the plans was divulged. Thus both Governments were blinded. It waB as much our object to ovado the United States authorities as it was to battle with the Canadians. Tho asser? tion of General Sherman that we in? tended to compromise this country with England is thereforo untrue. Wo had no such object, most of us having fought in the United States armies. Our end was simply to liberale Ireland, through Canada as a base of operations. I was to begin tho assault on Canadiau terri? tory with tho 1,600 troops. Even if 800 arrived, I foresaw that they would be ample to take a position, and this was all we wanted at tho outset, as many of tho promised troops were veterans. I knew that they would make a good beginning. This, you see, was all we wanted. Once established, a permanent foothold in British America, and entrenched in a strong position, and 100,000 Fenians will rush to the front. It was my duty to form tho nucleus, and the service was very critical, and the slightest mismove would prove disastrous. This I foresaw, and planned accordingly. To begin a military enterprise of this kind, ono thing should be kept in mind-tho in? fluence of tho results upon thc public sentiment. A brilliant beginning pro? mised us much from tho American peo? ple, who have generally been very friend? ly to the movement. I then decided to move on Franklin with 1.G00 men, this poiut to be tho main objective one. Mi? nor and supplementary movements were to be made ut Malone, and they were simply decoys. The Red River detach? ment was included in tho campaign, un? der my direction. Well, on Tuesday last tho Fenian Brotherhood began to send men forward, and the country was soon aroused. Instead of the 1,000 men I ex? pected nt Franklin, from Boston, 1-10 carno; and instead of the GOO from North? ern New York and Vermont, only sixty five reported for duty. In time tho local authorities offer various explanations and excuses for being dilatory. They say that they could not transport the men. Tho troops did not como as they should. Instead of 3,003 on Wednesday, I had 300. With these men (emphatically) I had to move forward, for tho United States authorities were at my heels, and Marshal Foster was in my camp watch? ing mo closely. I planned an immediate advance. Tho marshal came into camp, but he dare not undertake to thwart me. Surrounded by my soldiors, I would not have submitted to an arrest. I regretted very much tho necessity of having to act with such au insignificant forco, but I could not help it. Tho men wero not at hand, and before mo was a hostile country with hostile troops, and behind me tho United States authorities, each waiting to overthrow us, and hero you seo the fault of the ontiro expedition. Wo have had the opportunity during tho present week of inspecting the printed roll of citizens of Abbeville, liable to militia duty. Tho list is made up in large proportion of our colored fellow-citizens, with a sprinkling of whites to remind them (we suppose) that their race has still somo claim to tho rights and immunities and burdens of American citizenship. After the taste they havo had at "tho imminent deadly breach, " they are well satisfied, we opiuo, to shun as well "the holiday parade," ns "the fierce tug of war." If everybody elso is satisfied, they have no right to complain.-Abbeville Press. DEATn OP THE OLDEST INIIAHITAN-T. On yesterday, there died in tho freed? men's hospital of Richmond County tho oldest inhabitant in Augusta, probably the oldest in the Stato of Georgia. Tho deceased party was a colored woman uamed Mollie Scbley, and at the time of her death she was more than 100 years old. She was the property of the Schlcy family. Despatches from Canada stato that a tremouduous firo swept over a vast tract of woods near Fort William, at Thunder Bay, May 18th.

MOVEMENTS BT STEAM OF FEETQHTS TO Nsw YORK, MAT, 1870-THE PASSENGER BUSINESS.-Of tho leading articles of ex? port to New York daring th? past month, we make the following summary : Bice, 1,477 tierces; upland cotton, 10,142 bales; sea island cotton, 416 bales; rosin, 3,138 barrels; truck, 5,896 packages; clay, 172 tierces. Of these several amounts, the new line of iron steamships ("Tennessee" and "South Carolina") transported 809 tierces rice, 6,536 bales upland cotton, 255 bags sea island cot? ton, 2,624 barrels rosin, 3,724 packages farm truck, and 172 casks clay. To give aomo idea of the bulk of this por tion of the cargoes of these two great freight steamships, we state the quanti? ties in tons: Say 275 tons rice, 1,300 tons upland cotton, 35 tons sea island cotton, 450 tons rosin, 150 tons farm truck, exclusive of sundries. This is a very conspicuous freight success for Muy, for a now enterprise; and not less so in the number of passengers trans? ported, several hundred having enjoyed the comforts of the elegant state-rooms, all on deck, and a grand promenade, 200 feet long, so captivating in extent that some devotees of the skating rink made application for it-enterprising juveniles those-, who wanted to enter for "milo heats, best three in five," alleging that twenty-six times round, made just the mile. To nccommotlato the farmers, these steamships have changed their sailing days for the remainder of June, leaving on Tuesdays, 7th, 14th, 21st and 28th instant, and passengers nre already re? gistering for several steamers nhoad. On Wednesday, July Gth, tho regular sailing days for July and August, will bo resum? ed. Travelers will of course note this, as a mistake, which takes a voyageur to a down-stairs room on some other steamer than tho "Tennessee" or "South Caroli? na," will bo aseri?os discomfort. [Charleston News, Juno 2. THE lNF.vx.LiniL.iTY DOOMA-THE SCHEME AND ITS DISCUSSION.-A cor? respondent of tho New York Tribune furnishes what is alleged to be tho text of tho infallibility scheme now reported to be occupying tho attention of the Vatican Council in Borne. The paper is as follows: 1. If any one shall say that tho Epis? copal Chair of the Boman Church is not the very true and infallible chair of the blessed Peter, or that it has not been divinely chosen by God ns the most solid, enduring and incorruptible rock of the whole Christain Church-let him be anathema. 2. If any ono shall say that there ex? ists on earth, distinct and separate from the ohair of the blessed Peter, any other infallible chair of the truth of tho Gospel of Christ tho Lord-lot him bo anathema. 3. If any one shall deny that the Divine supremacy of tho chair of tho blessed Peter is to all men, whether un? believers or believers, whether laymen or bishops, necessary as tho true road to eternal salvation-lot him bo anathe? ma. 4. If nuy one shall say that each and all of the Boman Pontiffs, legitimately elected, arc not jure divino successors of tho blessed Peter, in the gift also of magisterial infallibility, and shall dony to any one of them tho prerogative of infallibility to tench the Church the Word of God, puro from all corruption and error-let him be anathema. 5. If any one shall say that (Ecumeni? cal Councils are a power placed by God iu tho Church for feeding tho divine flock on the Word of God superior to thc Boman Pontiff, or equal to him, or uecessary by divino institution, to thc completion of tho infallible magistracy of tho Bishop of Borne-let him bo anathema. A cabio despatch asserts that tho dis? cussion upon the infallibility dogma is now being carried on with considerable warmth, and the argument, it is thought, will not bo terminated before tho latter part of July. Tho following purports to be a sketch of tho debate on Mon? day: "Tho opposition first obtained the floor, and the Bishops of St. Bricnco and St. Gall spoko against infallibility. Bishop Cefelc, of Boethenburg, made an eucrgotic appeal, declaring that three successive QScumenical Councils had anathematized Pope Honorina, denounc? ing him ns n heretic. Prince Cardinal Schwartzenburg referred in language of contempt to the exouses of partisans of the dogma in their endeavors to explain away the truth and justico of tho argu? ments against Pope Honorius' affirma? tion that infallibility was most inoppor? tune, because such arguments were false and ill-founded. Ho quoted from the works of eminent theologians, adducing authority to provo that Popes could be deposed for heresy. Cardinal von Bauscher, through n deputy, entered n strong protest in behalf of society and the interests of tho civil government against any proceedings prejudicial to tho cause of freedom of thought and action. Tho tenor of the document was blended with expressions of devotion to tho Holy Seo." General John J. Donnelly, the Fenian, who wus killed at Pigeon Hill, was an Irishman by birth, and was thirty-six years old. He was an oflicor of Wiscon? sin Volunteers during the civil war, and last year was Speaker of the Fenian Congress. Tho bodies of two womon have been found floating in tho Tennessee River during the past week. As their hands wore tied and they woro barefooted, it is supposed they wero raped and murdered. Tho Greeks aro said to bo tho most sensible people in tho world, as they wear ono stylo of dress all tho year round, and tho fashion never ohanges. A man named Wm. H. Jones had a difficulty with his fathor-in-Iaw, Wm. H. Pnryear, in Athens, Ga., on the 28th ult., when tho latter was killed. Hungry people, go to Pollock's. YORK AND THE AIR LINE.-Tho people of York County voted on last Saturday on the question of a County snbsorip tion of $200,000 to tho Air Line Bail road. This amount was necessary to se? cure the location of the road, through Yorkville. The subscription was de? feated by fifteen votes-the Eastern side of the County voting almost unanimous? ly against it. This settles the location of the road on tho lino running eight or ten miles above tho town of York. The projected road from Morgnnton to York will cross the Air Lino ut some point noar King's Mountain. Last evoning. a new trapeze performer, named OD tho bills Signor Fedanto, ap? peared at tho Tammany for the first time. In attempting ono of his feats, ho fell from a lofty hoight to tho stage, and was picked up a crushed mass of flesh and bones. He may recover from the effects of tho fall, but it will only be after a protracted period of suffering, and probably with the loss of tho uso of some of his limbs.-New York Times.

THE CENSUS.-The taking of tho de? cennial ceDBoa commenced on the let in? stant, throughout tho United States, its Territories and dependenoics. It is something that does not often trouble us, and is a work of essential importance in a political and economical view. It is, therefore, the duty of tho press to exhort all pera o DB, of every class, to give tho officers of the Government a willing aud cheerful co-operation. In this enlighten? ed day, thero should bono holding back, and probably will be none among tho whites. But tho census of the odored population, in our opinion, is destined to be tho most imperfect aud unreliable in our history, and for sovoral reasons: The first is, that the negroes have to give it in themselves, and for tho first time. Many of them do not, and cannot be made to understand it, and wheu reached, will give iucorroct or evasive answers. And, again, many of them are not possessed of the information requir? ed, and which was horetoforo a matter of record with their masters. Wo assure them that no harm is intended to any one by tho census-takers, aud hope they will promptly toll all they kuow. An? other reason is to bo found in tho diffi? culty of reaching that class of tho popu? lation, scattered as they aro, and many of thom liviug promiscuously, without nuy fixed habitation. This is tho chief trouble, and we shall not bo surprised if tho tables should sum up from ten to twenty per cent, less than the actual black population. CRUMBS.-lu South Carolina thero are five daily newspapers, four tri-wcekly newspapers, one semi-weekly newspaper, forty-two weekly newspapers, two month? lies, ono quarterly. It is suggested as a strange spectacle that, whilo England and Franco arc straining every nerve and resorting tc every expedient to increaso tue produc tion of cotton in their own possession! and other countries, tho Government o: tho United States is equally energetic tc to put down the cotton in this country by onerous exactions and un warran tabb interference with labor.

It leaps from her heart in a clear sparkling rill; and the heart that hears it, feels bathed in tho exhilarating spring. It turns tho prose of our life into poetry; it flings ahowers of sunshine over tho durksome wood in which we are traveling; it touches with light even our sleep, which is no more tho image of death, but is consumed with dreams that uro the shadows of immortality. To all of which wo give a sincore and hearty amen. But then it must be un? derstood to mean a laugh with something to laugh nt. A practico has obtained with many women of the present day to laugh nt every thiug-tho writer does not mean that, nor do we. An eternal giggle is both senseless and ridiculous. Tho practico among too many men of sup? posing that women can bo entertained alone by that which makes them laugh, is equally reprehensible. Among sensi? ble peoplo of both sexes, there is a time for everything-a time to be grave ns well as a time to be merry. HOTKI. ARRIVALS, June 3-dickerson House.
