COLUMBIA, S. C. Wednesday Morning, June 8,1870. The Movement for Reform. In undertaking to seonro a reform in our State government it must not be overlooked, that there are many who do not desire a reform. There are a num? ber of persons-some white, somo black, some from abroad, some, nias, from our own midst-who do not want any other kind of government than tho one we have bad. These porsous flourish in corrupt times, jost as some noxious weeds live only in nn infected atmosphere. RE? FORM, RETRENCHMENT and HONESTY WOUld be their death. To kill CORRUPTION would bo to kill the goose that lays for them the golden egg. This eines will, of oonrse, oppose any reform, nod mark thom well, for they nie the foes to good government, to public morality, to pri? mate honor, to tho interests of the great mass of the people. There are other foes to reform. There is the open foe -the honest Republican partisan-who -either does not believo in the frauds charged upon bis party leaders, or thinks that any other set of men would steal quite as much, and, therefore, ho does not care to make a change. With this ; class it is possible to argue, and let us reason with them. But the chief foes to the reform movement are GENERAL APATHY, (white,) and GENERAL DISTRUST, (colored.) As to this general apathy, we regard it natural, under the circumstun ces, but neither wise nor patriotic. This apathy, iu our judgment, proceeds, in part, from the character of the move? ment for reform, and in part from the general disgust that our white fellow oitizens feel for the subject of politics so unprepossessing has the business got to be in this State. We have said that this feeling is natural. But let us add, that it cannot be safely indulged. Poli? tics is business. It largely concerns UP. In view of the duty we owe to ourselves, our families, and our State, we cannot properly divest ourselves of our respon? sibility for the management of our pub? lic affairs. And we affirm that it is the bounden duty of every good and sober citizen to strike now, and to strike always, blows political, as well as blows industrial, for South Carolina. If wo would im? prove ibo prospect of tho Stale, it is plain that a movement for reform is a high duty. We have also to deal with tho general distrust of tho colored voter towards us. Wo do not know that this can bo remedied. But if wo state plainly what our disposition and onr sentiments aro towards him, and his political status, it may bo that confidence may bo re? stored between tho two races iu the South. Wo have nothing more to say or to do in this behalf. Oar sentiments toward tho colored mau ever have beon liberal and kindly. Wo acknowledge now, freely and cheerfully, the rights secured to him by law, and we are ready to deal with him as a man whoso citizenship should be improved, and whoso services should be utilized for tho general good. But we have no special appeal to make to him now or evermore We do not consider that the destinies of our race depend upon him. If ho can do without the native whites of the South, wo aro sure that tho nativo Southerners and the adopted whites of the South can do without him. Let him mako his elec? tion, and then ho will be responsible for his future. We desire earnestly to see both races in tho South living in har? mony and ponce. But, our moderation having been known of all men. thus fur have we gouo, and wo expect to go no further in tenders of amity and propo? sitions of political union. There is, also, another bur to tho re? form movement, not hitherto mentioned, and this is what we call a spirit of CAL? CULATION. We mean this: It seems that in our cities, towns and villages, there is a class of persons who, for fear of their business being injured, are indisposed to show their bauds in political move? ments. They prefer to curry favor with both sides, and therefore the}' ard ready to blow both cold and hot. These men, it seems lo us, make a great mistake. If thcro is one class in the community more than others interested in a reform of our public affairs, it is the largo class of mer? chants and traders. Aud wo feel sure that the intelligent members of this class know this as well as wc do. It has, in- 1 doed, como to a sad pass, when men aro ready to forego, or to deny, their princi? ples, for tho sake of making money. And yot that there are saeh, who, with powers of observation, can doubt? Now thia wo may suggest-this is a matter that should not be suffered to go by de? fault. As a genoial rale wo prefer to indulge in no discriminative policy, and wo do not desire to recommend such a line of action. But wo aro free to say that our duty is obvious. It' mon in business aro t i 'ie patronized because of their party j relations, then let us understand it. If the radical adherents of this corrupt re? gime, nov upon us, are going to build up thia or that man in business, then does it become the duty of our people to accept tho issue, and let the country know who aro for the interests of good government and who are on the other side. If any mau iu business hero, or elsewhere, iu this State, stands up like a niau for tho right, let the people seo to it that he is sustained. Under which king, Benzoui? If this is tho question that Radicalism puts, let its opponents meet tho issue iu tho spirit of self-defence. As for ourselves, thc moilo of reform that is now ou the (apis is no favorite of ours. We would havo sought reform in another way-would perhaps have put I06S water in our political brandy. But we do want reform iu some way-some fair, honorable, legal way-aud whatever form of action may be adopted, let it be pressed with energy. Let us rally, let us -(ni/e, let us work, let us expone, let us dis? sect, let us attack, and with resolute spirit, plaut tho banner of BEFORM in the very citadels of tho PLUNDERERS and the BOH? RERS. Theso are our views, and let them go for what they are worth. ?-#?-? THE DEBASEMENT OF SOUTHERN POLI? TICS.-With tho re-olection of Whittc moro, tho cadetsbip trader, to Congress before us, tho special correspondent of the Now York Tribune, who in this case will certainly be acknowledged good authority, writing from Charleston, gives the following in relation to the rul? ing power iu South Carolina politics: "There is an unpleasantly large clnss of politicians who live only by politics, who know no other profession, and who look upon the legitimate and thc illegiti? mate emoluments of the trade with equally favorable eyes. Wheu to theso we add an infusion in tho Legislature of mon chosen as the most eligible iu a community of held hands who never saw n school house and never owned a five dollar bill, it is easily to he seen that dangers beset the public affairs of South Carolina." The above is a fair resume of thc po? litical situation throughout tho entire South, and it is quito as true of every other State as it is of South Carolina. VIOLATION OF THE FIFTEENTH AMEND? MENT.-lu tho decoration of the graves of tho Union soltliers yesterday, at Arlington, tho coloretl soldiers appear to have boon wholly ignored hy the Graud Army of tho Republic. The negro deael occupied a cemetery some dist unco apart from that devoted to tho Union soldiers, and no preparations hud been made to include it in the op?ration? of the pro? gramme, and so Cully, for once, went unnoticed. Georgo T. Downing, tho colored restaurateur of thc Capitol, is highly incensed at this ?light to his r:u:e, aud proposes to memoralizo Congress tu have the bodies of the colored soldiers takeu up nud buried in thc same ceme? tery with tho whites, "that no distinc? tion may be made on account of color." Among tho sileut spectators was Sena? tor Revels, who occupied his leisuro mo? ments iu reaeling letters from his consti? tuents, THE UNITED STATES COIKT-lion. G. S. Bryau presiding. Ex parte J. 1).

The Fapal Fathers assembled in the (Ecumenical Council in Rome ?lo not, apparently, tire or halt in their work. Infallibility will be promulgated as a church dogma on tho 29th of June, after which, as we are told by a coblo t alegrara, the prelates will take a recess until tho 15th of October. They will requiro a little rest, and also to hear how tho fact "works." A despatch from Liverpool slates that tho tide of emigration to America is in? creasing. No less than 21,000 emigrants, mainly Irish, left that city for various American ports during tba mouth of May. Nine-tenths of them went to New York. In tho square of St. Marl;, at Venice, there is a clock, and two bronze men strike tho hours ou abell. Ono ?lay an inquisitivo stranger put his bead between the hammer und the bell, and tho bronze man knocked his brains out. Louis Napoleon having ordered tho importation from Kentucky of a few barrels o? old Bourbon for usc in the im? perial household, a Parisinn wit remarks that it is only tho "spirit of that narnu'' that tho Emperor likes. A young man about nineteen, who re? gistered Iiis name as Arilinr Wright, com tu i tl ed stiieide at tho St. James Ho? tel, Cincinnati, Tuesday. His handker? chief was marked Arthur Minion. The Raleigh (N. C.) Standard learns that tho Forestville paper mill has been washedaway by tho recent freshet in tho Neuse River, aud that two bridges have also been swept away. The Iuka (Mississippi) Mirror has beeu fluod $50 by the Post Office De? partment for sending specimen copies of tho Mirror to those not regular subscri? bers without prepaying postage. A serious riot occurred among the rail? road hands noar Calvert, Texas, a few days ugo. Several mon were killed and wounded. Tho military was called upon to quell the disturbance. Lunch every day at Pollock's. At Sourba, Mississippi, the other day, a boy twelve years old killed a deer with a pine-knot. Tho Khedive finds it hard to manage his foreign gonorals. One of them, from Kentuok, punchad the head of his Minister of War the other day. A talented youth at Key West oharms rattle-snakes out of their holes and about bis neck, and makes n practico of carry? ing scorpions and wasps in his sleeves. Tho latest story from Paris is that a workman, drinking with n companion, offered to bot that bc could kill bim with a single blow of his fist. Tho bet was accepted, the blow dealt, and the man foll dead. Pittsfield, Mass., furnishes an item of Puritan eccentricities for us every day. At a funeral there tho other day, a fight occurred between two rival undertaker?, ono of whom furnished the coffin and the other the hearse. They made it right hot for the corpse for a few minutes, un? til tho mourners took a hnnd in and knocked them both down, when tho ex? ercises nt tho grave wore resumed. 50 Peas.

Beware of base imitators. 1 June 1 IN A NUT-SHELL.- The Mobile Register thua salts down a truth in a few snug ' sentences: "Coaxing is just the wuy bow 'not to do it,'when you wunt block votes for the Democratic ticket. You may scare or knook a bird ont of a bush, but there is not Irish blarney euough in tho world to .beguile-' him out of it. Tho only and the best way to persuade uegro votes is to let them 'severely alone,' (and by the way tho 'force bili' comrnnuds that on penalty of line and imprisonment.) put hiui on bis own responsibility, and show bim that white men aro strong enough to take care of themselves." CONDITION or MEXICO.-Thc accumu? lated evidence from all parts of Mexico revels tho condition of that country as in every sense deplorable. Financially bankrupt, socially demoralized, aud po? litically disrupted, there is no protection for persons. Trial by jury is suspended and special taxes aro levied by mere governors of States. Brigandage is u favorite occupation of dissatisfied citizens und defeated politicians. Congress is without authority and tho President without power. YOCTHIXL VILLAINY.-A melancholy phase of boy-life in New York is shown in the arrest of three lads, sixteen, seventeen aud eighteen years of age, for Hourly killing another boy with clubs and stones, bis offence being a refusal to join them in theft and rowdyism. Here is a boy willing and anxious to be honest, carefully watched over by a mother, way? laid and nearly killed bj- youths whoso crimes already tit them for tho ?State ! prison. Here is what Madame Katazzi says about Bochcfort and the Empress Euge? nie: "I do not find tho least fault with that clever mau in exposing the Empress of the French. Tho vain creature, although nearly as old as Methuselah, still wants ber journalistic lacqueys to call ber un angel of beauty and grace. What if thev could see ber ?n deshabile? Oh!" A Parisian lady recently called on her miliner to inquire the character of a servant. Tho morality of the latter was beyond questioning. "But is she honest?" asked the lady. "I am not so certain of that," replied the milliner; "I have sent her to you with my bill a ?dozen times, and she bas never yet given I me the money." Saginaw, Mich., bas passed an ordi? nance that it is unlawful for any person ! to visit a house of ill-fame unless on j business, soliciting trade, as they would I visit any other house. Chaps go around j with sample-books of carpets and all j kinds of goods, to evade the law, and one fellow was actually arrested who said ! he was selling codfish by photographic j .-ample. Au Eastern man went out to Denver j to visit his brother, and lound a coro i m r's inquest sitting on the body of his relative, who gave a verdict that he died from exposure. Tho brother wanted lu know bow in thunder that could be, I when lhere were two bullet-holes iii the j bead ot the deceased. He was told that I death ensued from exposure to bullets! EXPENSIVE PROSELYTISM.-The zealots of the "Society for the Conversion of the Jews" in Euglaud, squandered 810,000, OuO in proselyting the Jewish populatiou of London, with the '.encouraging" re? sult of seven converts. Five of the "perverts" have since gone buck to Ju? daism. James W. Zacharie, of New Orleans, died on tho 1st instant, at his daughter's residence, Chatawa, Miss., in bis 7-ith year, being, at the time ol' his death, the oldest merchant of New Orleans, whither he came in 1803, just in time to witness the transfer of tho territory. He was ono of tho "defenders." Misfortunes never come singly. A mau over in Indiana, last week, lost his wife and his family physician on the same day. He is now searching for their remains with a double-barrel shot-gun, with thc intention of burying them both in tho same grave. A fashionable kleptomaniac of Now York city devotes her leisure time to stealing parasols. A hundred were found in her bed-chamber. She is deeply grieved-since she has been caught. Boston papers complain that tho ladies are becoming "delicately ctherinl and I spiritually interesting." Spiritually in ! teresting is the worst situation any wo? man can get in. Sarsaparilla and Queen's Delight, i when properly combined, makes tho most powerful blood purifier known. j Ask for DR. Terr's. J5 Thc Spanish authorities aro proceed? ing with great vigor against Free Masons iu Cuba. All lodges there are prohibited by statute, and they aro proceeded against for the violation of that law. Our foreign liles announce thc death of the eminent Liverpool merchant, Mr. George Alexander Brown, of Brown, Shipley k Co. Mr. Brown was au Ame? rican, Brigands, who captured some English travelers several years ugo, have been sentenced, tinco to execution, aud the rest to imprisonment. If you consult your welfare, fail not j to read the advertisement beaded "BAI> BLOOD." J5 WOMAN'S RIUIITS.-Ono who bas lot::; studied this absorbing subject now presents to tho women of our country tho result of his inves? tigations. Ho is happy to say that ho has at last discovered "Woman's Rest Friend." It is adapted, especially, to those cases whore tho womb is disordered, and will cure any irregu? larity of the "menses." Dr. J. liradlield's Female Regulator acts liko a charm in "whites," or in a sudden check of tho "month? ly courses" from cold, trouble of mind, or like causes, by restoring tho discharge in every instance. So also in chronic cases, its action is prompt and decisive, and saves tho consti? tution from countless evils and premature de? cay. Thia valuable preparation is for sale at fl.30 per bottlo by all respectable Druggists in tho land. Prepared and sold by Li. IL bradfield. Druggist, Atlanta, Ga. A thousand women testify to its merits. J b G T~? o o ?a- X Items.
