COLUMBIA, S. C. Tue3(Uy Morning. Jtrne 7,1870. No Sarcasm-Oar Sentiments. We are admonished not to indulge too much in the vein of sarcasm. When a writer's irony ?B accepted literally by one and perverted by another, it ?B time for bim to consider whether, after nil, it is not best for him to use "plain talk." In Borne remarks we reoently made "in the style ironioal," and which were designed to be harmless and to excite nobody's ire, it seems that we hurt somebody. We beg pardon. Oar Sumter cotemporary, the News, intimates that we prefer "liv? ing asses" to "dead lions," and tho Charleston Republican thinks that it de? tects in our "pleasantly sportive article" a "certain vein which seems to indicato that the writer believes what he says of the greater self-sacrifice 'of the good old days.'" Whereupon, tho Republican, to ease our mind and make us more com? fortable, remarks that wo havo just as good men as Curtios, iEneas, or Carn bronno, and adds: "Wo question if any of those ancient worthies ever faced .death with a firmer spirit than Lyon, or McPherson, or Stonewall Jackson." It becomes necessary, therefore, for us "to ?xplain our thoughts." We will say, then, that the story of Curtiua conveys a noble moral and a lofty spirit of self saorifioe-that the clnssio sentiment, "it is honorable to die for one's country," illustrates that feeling of patriotic fervor which made up much of what was graud in the Hom au character ; and that the sen? timent attributed to Cnmbronno-"tho Old Guard dies, but does notsurreuder" is full of soul, as embodying tho resolute spirit of tho martyr, who graud ly con? sents not to survive a lost cause. Nor can the Republican teach us tho lesson of appreciation of those who foughtor bled, or wrought or died for country, in tho late war between tho States. Doubtless, the North had its heroes, and we desire to pluck not a single leaf from the wreath which encircles brows either of the living or dead. We know and we feel that the South had them-men and women-living and dead-olBcers and privates. And we are sure that neither Grecian, nor Jewish, nor Roman annals can furnish brighter examples than tho South did of quiet heroism, of noble daring, of self-sacrificing devotion. And we moy add, that no historian, however able and eminent, will be able to associ? ate with dishonor the names of those Southern men who upheld, iu the forum or the field, the Into Confederate cause. When the impartial historian, rising above tho mist of passion and prejudice, shall writo a truthful historj' of tho late great war between tho States in this laud, that history will bo unlike both Pollard's and Swintou'ri. He will do justice alike to South and North. He will not hold that tho North fought to free the African, or that the South fonght to perpetuate his slavery; but he will trace the uprising of each to that noble sentiment, which loads a people to maintain in arms rights which they bold to be theirs and secured by solemn covenant. And the historian, doing ample justice to each party, and recog? nizing the high character of the motives that controlled the actions of tho honest on either side, will, with ono hand, lay a tribute on the Confederate grave, and, with the other, not withhold an equal honor to tho roating-place of the Federal soldier. And we may add, lot tho North meet the South on these grounds-let the North not distrust the honor and the avowals of the Southern whites-let the North understand that deception and hypocrisy are not elements in the South? ern charaoter, and then may wo expect once again to have a genuino restoration of those feelings, which once united in cordial union even Massachusetts aud South Carolina. But let the North con? tinuo to carry out tho reconstruction programmo of seeking to invest tho Confederate causo and its upholders with odium-let the Nortli continue to fight UH, in peace, by ho.stilo legislation and ungenerous requirements, and tho sections will continue as fur apart UH if mountains rose np or a wide river rolled between them. - SCOTT'S PENITENTIARY VOTEKS.-A colored mau, (says the Union Times, of tho 3d instant,) by tho name of John Mills, who was sentenced at last court to three years imprisonment, for .stealing cotton, went up on tho cars on Tuesday last, a free man agaiu. Ho says that Gov. Scott had pardoned him and about forty other prisoners, and intended to pardon about 120 moro in a few day?. The Times goes on to explain this sud don freak of executive clemency hy re? ference to tho near approach of tho gubernatorial elcctiou in this State. The desperuto condition of the radical party is clearly shown by several recent movoments-tho purchase of thc Mis? sionary Record, tho organization of the militia, aud the shameless abuse of the purdouiug power, above referred to. Tho fruit prospects at tho North are particularly bright. A heavy crop is an? ticipated. Correspondence ot tile' IJ I? cc nix. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jone 4, 1870. As the time draws near for the adjourn? ment of Congress, the excitement among thoso interested in any of the two thou? sand bills on tho calendars, increases. Only fix weeks more for tho accomplish? ment of at least six months' work. Euch bill hus its devotees who are hoping, praying that their pet measure, by some crook or by nook, out of order, or any other way, may be the next favored. It is well understood that only a small num? ber comparatively can possibly be con? sidered this session, and probably not this Congress ; and though with hardly n lottery chance, each ono of these devo? tees buoys himself iu the hopes that his respectivo bill will bo takou up and passed. But alas ! " hopo deferred makes tho heart sick," nnd a sicker set of fellows havo never left Washington than the niue-teuths of thoso sumo fel? lows will bo in six weeks from now. After six months' hard work, the spe? cial committee on tho decline of Ameri? can commorce, in the House, yesterday, experienced a serious jolt, yesterday in the defeat of the tounge bill. This bill, yon will recollect, provides that all ship? builders using American material shall be allowed drawbacks, to bo paid out of the Treasury, equal to tho duty on im? ported material. Tho Western members almost to a mau opposed it. Lewis Porter, who ia assistant post? master of Washington, is still retaiued in his positiou, although it is a patent fact that he attempted to bribo a United States Senator with money. It was cou fideutly expected that Logan and other " party eeekers"Jwould hold when they found a new victim, but it seems that Chnudler has poured oil upon tho trou? bled waters, nud every thing is now ns still as the gravo. Porter has been Chan? dler's outside man for som o years, and tho position which he now occupies ns pay clerk and assistant postmaster, was obtained for him by Chandler, so that he could carry on his nefarious vocation ns lobbyist, &e., without suspiciou nnd with better grace. The Postmaster-General, although tho model of purity, keeps this man under his immediate eye in his own building, and does not opeu his mouth. General Scheopf was recommended for dismissal and compelled to resign by Logan's committee, when only ?1 middle party iu the Butler salo of cadetship. Geu. Scheopf served asuUuion general through the whole war aud came out a poor mau, while Porter remaiued at home and made a fortuno by furnishing shoddy to thc soldiers. Spoiled Tail, with three of his chiefs, hus been here some days. Red Cloud, with 27 of his braves, arrived this morn? ing, somo of whom have never been at Washington. Spotted Tail was detained over Suudaj* ia Chicago, nnd wheu he saw the crowds of people he said it made him sick-sick with the prospects for his people in their life struggle against the whites, who are gradually* encompassing them. After Red Cloud and his war? riors aro rested, they will call on thc Presideut formally, and there will be some sort of a council for the adjustment of their affairs. But whether the Gov? ernment will attempt a general settle? ment, is yet to be seen. The civilized Iudiaus are violently op? posed to the proposed territorial organ? ization. In view of the excitement on this subject, these warriors will be the seusatiou of tho season. The most of them ure clothed only with their robes; and when they arrived were bare-footed. Last night, Spotted Tail and his men, in full dress, hold a grand reception in the parlors of their hotel. Many ladies aud gentlemen were introduced, and oue lady discoursed music from tho pinuo, for their benefit. Music may have charms to soothe a savage breast, but with these there was no heaving breast or motion of facial muscles, but unmoved they heard the dulcet notes. Tho policy of ontering into a treaty with the Domiuion Governmeutby which the free navigation of tho St. Lawrence River shall bo secured to American ship? ping, was under discussion in tho House of Representatives last week. Judge Lawrence, of Ohio, made au able speech in favor of the bill which ho introduced, showing that the measuro was of espe? cial importance to the interests of tho great grain producing States of tho cen? tral West, und roforriug to tho acknow? ledged fact, that the price which a West? ern farmer realizes for a bushel of wheat depends upou these two circumstances, viz: tho price in the controlling market, and the cost of transporting it there. He soys, England buys but a small part of our wheat product, yot sho consumes the largest part of our wheat oxport, and tho Liverpool wheat market controls the price iu Now York, Toledo and Chicago, very much as the price of our National bonds at Amsterdam and Threadneedle street, determine the price in the United States, or as Wall street determines the price of gold in Cincinnati. Mr. Law? rence shows that by tho present mode of transportation, when thu price of wheat in Liverpool is Sl.oO in gobi, Hie price to the funner here is only sixty-one cents ingold; thu remaining sixty-nine cunts being deducted as the cost for transpor? tation. But by securing free navigation of thc St. Lawrence, freights might |>o ro ducCd one-half, and the Western funner realize so much tho moro for his wheat. With tho reduction in freights effected by large vessels, by competition in rival routes, the increnso in the number of sliips, and by dispensing with the neces? sity of trans-shipment, us now at B?llalo nnd New York by the Erie canal route, and at Montreal by the St. Lawrence route, freights can bo reduced one-half; and every Ohio farmer will secure tho ultimate price of his wheat much more than now. This will bring with it, in a few years, tho enlargement pf tho Miami Canal iu Ohio, mid Dayton. It is very evident, from this arrange? ment, that rec?x>roeul trade with tho Bri? tish Provinces in coal, fish, suit aud lum I ber, would be for the mutual advantage; of both countries; and that the utter denial of reciprocity will drive the Do? minion Government into new commercial alliances, and make the commercial in? terests of Canada and the British Pro? vinces identical with our own, and con? sequently induce the people of Ganada to seek annexation to render the advan? tages permanent. During the pnst week, about sixty female employees of tbo Bureau of En? graving and Printing, Treasury Dopart meut, have beou discharged, owing to a decrease of work. By the way, the chief of this Bureau, George B. MoCartee, Esq., is ono of tho hardest working exe? cutive officers iu the entire Department. Thoroughly honest nud trust-worthy, ns bas bceu demonstrated on many occa? sions-ouo of which was when ho handed over to tho Department a $1,700 bribe and invariably unknown to everybody, including tho humblest of bis employees, the increase of bis salary to $5,000, ou tho recommendation of Secretary Bout well himself, was a just recognition of his eminent fitness for tho respousiblo position which be occupies. Besieged daily by scores of women and Congress? men, seokiug places for themselves or friends, Mr. McCarteo never bolds ont any false hopes, but in his firm but modest and gentlemanly way, informs all applicants truthfully as to thu pros? pect for employment in his Bureun. The note printing turned ont by him is always of tho finest quality. Numerous letters aro being daily re? ceived by members of Congress from thoir soldier friends at home, making inquiry about tho pension olid bounty laws; the bill which bas recently passed Congress giving artificial limbs to the one-legged and one-armed soldiers; the prospects of a bill being passed, giving to all soldiers who enlisted during the late war, and were honorably discharged, eight and one-third dollars per mouth, and others of lesser importance eflectiug tho soldier. Answers should be prompt? ly given to the tuition's dofenders; and now moro especially for the sake of your soldier readers, I would briefly state of the now pending bills effecting the sol? dier as follows: The bill granting artifi? cial limbs, as it passed tho House, would have allowed the soldier a uiouey equiva? lent of seventy-five dollars for thc limb, and ho could then have gone wherever he chose to make his purchase; but this bill, as now amended in the Senate, pro? vides that tho soldier sbnll reeeivo an order through the Surgeon-General for the limb, in which case, if tho limb does not suit, as is very often tho case, on ac? count of short amputation, the soldier's only alternativo is to sell it to an artifi? cial manufacturer, at a heavy discount. A bill hus recently passed the House, which extends the time within which au application can bo made for pensions to teu years. In reference In tho pros? pects of eight and one-third dollars per mouth being granted to all honorably discharged soldiers of tho lato war, I would say that tho Houso Military Com? mittee has agreed to report a bill to that effect, and if reported, it will, doubtless receive a very strong support. In fact, it is thought its opponents will ouly dare to oppose it on the most obvious grounds that the present (inanoial condition of the country will not warrant it. HOMO. To the JEklitorvf the Phwnix-Sm: I am informed that some Democrats and souio Republicans are charging that I have joined the citizcus* party, because 1 was present at the meeting in Columbia, on Saturday last. I am very much asto? nished anybody should believe for a mo? in en I that I havo deserted the Republi? can purty. I went to that meeting from curiosity, just as a number of other Republicans did. I was nominated for Secretary, and respectfully declined. Mr. Pelham urged me to serve, and Mr. Jas. Davis and others said, "go on, and tnko the minutes for them.7' I did so simply to accommodate them. I have no sympathy with tho citizens' party movement-no moro than Mr. S. li. Thompson or Mr. James Davis has, or any other of tho Republicans who went there. We all went hom curiosity; we all spoke against the new party, and wo all intend to support tho Republican party and no other partv. Very re? spectfully, JOHN H. BRYANT. KILLED BY LIGHTNING.-lu Saturday's Charleston News wo mentioned that two men had been killed by ligbtniug Thurs? day afternoon, nt tho plantation of Mr. Seabrook, at James's Island. This was partly incorrect. Two women, ont of lour living in a houso on tho plantation, were struck and instantly killed by the lightning. Their bodies decomposed so rapidly that a trial justice held au in? quest aud had them buried at once. RIGHT REV. BISHOP LYNCH.-This bo loved and esteemed Bishop arrived in tho eily on Friday afternoon from Eu? rolie Pia New York. Owing to tho re? cent death of his father, and in accord? ance with bis wishes, no formal reception was held; but his return was, neverthe? less, hailed with joy by tho people of bis diocese. Yesterday morning tho Bishop celebrated High Pontifical Mass at Cath? edral Chapel. - Charleston Courier. John Mitchell, who has steadily op? posed the invasion of Canada as a piece of folly which could do no good to Ire laud, characterizes tho fiasco of last week us an "unhappy and provoking affair," and its authors and leaders as "vain, silly 'organizers, leaders and bosthoon Generals.' " Wo don't know what "bos? thoon" means, but it should bo terriblo to meet tho case of such numbsculls as O'Neill. Joseph D. Hoover, of Washington, is dead. Ho was Marshal uudor President Pierce, and was prominent in politics before tbo war. If you consult your welfare, fail not to read the advortisemout headed "BAD BLOOD." JD , Proceedings of the Board of Health. COUNCIL CHAMBER, COLUMBIA, June 6, 1870. Present-Jos. McMillon, H. E. Scott, Benjamin Williams, Dr. G. S. Trozo van t, John Dennison, John P. Thomas, J. C. Satphen, Douglas Clark. The Secretary read from the proceed? ings of Council of Muy 3, 1870, the re Bult of an election held by Council on that date for members ol' tho Board of Health for the present terra, to wit: WARD No. 1.- W. K. Greenfield, G. V. Al ward en, Jos. McMillan. WARD No. 2.-Edward L. Deane, U. E. Scott, Benjamin Williams. WARD No. 3.-Dr. G. S. Trezovunt, George Huggins, John Dennison. WARD NO. 4.-John P. Thomas, J. C. Sutpheu, Douglas Chirk. Mr. J. P. Thotuas, on motion of Mr. Sutpheu, was called to thc chair. The business of electiug K permanent President being in order, Mr. Sutpheu nominated J. P. Thomas, who was dui}' elected. The Presideut read for the inforomtion of the Board, tho ordinance to establish a Board of Health for the city of Co? lumbia. Ou motion of Dr. Trezevant, it was ordered, That the Board meet hereafter on tho Monday preceding tho regular meetings of the City Council, ut half past 5 o'clock p. m. The Presideut informed the Board that it had come his knowledge that Mr. Edward L. Deane, of Ward No. 2, would, at tho uext regular meeting of Council, tender his resignation as a member of the Board of Health. Also stated, that Mr. George Huggins was nuable to attend the preseut meeting, owing to his ser? vice us juror in the Circuit Court. On nnitiou of Mr. Sutpheu, the Board then adjourned, to meet on Monday, June 2 ), at half-past 5 o'clock p.m. WM. J. ETTEU, Secretary. Tho lust Spanish barbarity in Cuba reaches us through the medium of a pri? vate letter from Remedios, written by n trustworthy persou. Early in thotuouth of May, forty-two inhabitants of that city were dragged from their houses lato nt uight, under the pretence thnt they were in some manner identified with the insurgent canse. Thc poor wretches were dragged from their families, safely bound, and taken to thc-vicinity of the cemetery, and were there clubbed to death with the butt cuds of muskets. No charge, ns trial, and, shackled as they were, no possible defence-knocked on the head like oxen in the shambles. Among them was more than one old man over seventy years of age. Two only managed to escape this hoorible massa? cre. This deed was committed hy the volunteers iu revenge for the many de? feats tiley had lately Buttered. Portillo, ?tho military commander of tho district, who had previously earned a reputation in Villa Clara for his cruelties to old men, defenceless women aud children, was aware of the outrages that were being committed, but by his inaction passively endorsed the fearful butchery. EXECUTION or OSCAR C?SPEDES.-Of? ficial despatches from Captaiu-Genornl DeRodas announce that Oscar C?spedes was executed at Puerto Principe ou the 2i)th ultimo. Young C?spedes, who was a son of the President of the (Jubau re? public, was surprised by thc Spanish troops a few days ago, tive milos from Qu i mara, aud captured, with several other insurgents. In the sumo affair, tho American Col. John Clancy was killed, and several other prominent in? surgent leaders barely escaped. NARROW GAUGE RAILWAY.-The Seien tifie American speaks flatteringly of tho design of some capitalists to build a street railway with a gauge of only three feet. If railways of three feet gauge will work satisfactorily for the accommoda? tion of municipal thoroughfares, will they not, asks the Augusta Chronicle and Senti? nel, prove moro successful in our agricul? tural section as neighborhood roads loadiug to the maiu truuk system? Tho bill which passed the House, with such unanimity, to abolish tho franking privilege, seems to meot with protracted opposition in the Seuate. lt carno up on Thursday, and was informally laid over by Boven majority, which was con? sidered a test vote as to whether the bill should pass or not. This is the second timo that n similar bill has passed the House and been lost in tho Seuate. COLLISION BETWEEN UNITED STATES TROOPS AND FENIANS.-A special despatch, dated at Rome, New York, Wednesday evening, says: "There has just been a collision at Williamstown, North of Rome, betwoen the Fenians oud the United States troops. The troops fired on the Fenians and drove them into the cars, wounding several of them." Tm: ELEVATED RAILWAY.-A train of four passenger cars passed over the ele? vated railway in Broadway, New York, on Thursday afternoon, without mishap. Thc directors are now of opinion that all the weak spots have been "wooded out," and that the road may be thrown open to thu public (if the public want it) by the 15th of this month. On tho first day, thc road will be free. Four laborers were killed and lee se? riously wounded on the unfinished Dela? ware and Lackawaua Railroad, Wednes? day, by tho running off an unattached car on an inclined grade. Tho car plunged through the trestle work of the Passaic bridge, carrying them headlong from a height of twenty-five feet. Eleven "escaped without hurt. KILLED BY LIGHTNING.-On Friday afternoon, at Rock Hill, as a cloud was approaching, a young gentleman of that village, by tho name of Hutchiusou, was stricken down by lightning ns ho was going from his father's store to tho pump in the yard. Ho died almost in? stantly. Sarsaparilla and Queen's Delight, when properly combined, makes tho most powerful blood purifier known. Ask for DR. TUTT'S. J5 Hot milk has been successfully tried as a remedy for diarrhoea. It is said that a pint every two or three boars will check the most violeut stomaoh-nche, incipient cholera or dysentery. Half a pint every meal generully reduces gradually and pleasantly an ordinary diarrhoea. It is very simple, aud will not barm you to try it. _ At Cautou, tho other day, Mr. Wil? liam Hnudy's little sou, two years old, fell from a window twenty feet, to the ground, striking a bird cage in his fal!, and carrying it with him. The elasticity of tho wires broke the shock, uud be was picked up without a bruise or a cry, until the gathering crowd of anxious faces alarmed him. The continual accounts of accidents from the use of koroseno, suggests to us to remind our readers that tho danger of explosion of this article will be much greater during the bot season than it bas heretofore been, lio more than ever cautious hi tlio article you purchase, in the use of lamps, and in "fooling round" tho place where your oil eau is deposited. Mrs. Owen Francs, of Pekin, Illinois, placed tho muzzle of a gun against her breast, on Tuesday, pulled the trigger with a spring, and blew ber heart to uloins. Cause, domestic infelicity. A smart old lady of seventy-two years, iu Decatur County, Ind., recently walked th i rt y miles in one day, to pay ber taxes and buy a spring bonnet. A California mau recently deeded some property to his wife, naming for consi? deration "love and affection. The same day, thu wife applied for a divorce. Tracy E.
