COLIIMBIA, S. C. Saturday Korain?, June 25, 1870. The Reform Movement. CHARLESTON.-The Courier and News heartily advocate the movement. Tho Republican and the Missionary Record dissont. FAIBFIEIIP.-The Winnsboro News hoists the flag of Carp on tor and Butler. It says : S "We had supposed that liberal and en? lightened thought had made snoh uni? versal progresa throughout the State, os the platform, proceedings and nomina? tions of the Convention, prove to be the case. We congratulate the State. We rejoice, and are full of hope for the fu? ture. Let us all work earnestly, since it ia clear that this movement cannot be de? feated; for the defeat of its candidates willleurely make sympathizing friends of millions of American suffragans; yes, and thorough-going Republicans too, out? side of the State. Oar colored citizens may, therefore, rejeot the offer of har? mony, but at their peril. Were they wise, they would, by a free vote, prove themselves worthy of the glorious gifts of 'freedom, which God, using the pas? sions and interests of men, has gracious? ly bestowed upon them." ?MARION.-The Star says : '?.We throw our flag to the breeze to? day for Carpenter and Butler, and wo do it with great hope of sucoess, if the ho? nest men of the State will go to work for her redemption. Let every man, white and colored, who advocates retrench? ment, Low Taxes and Beform, do his whole duty in the coming contest, and as certain as the sun shines, victory will ?erch upon our banner next October, f we would win, we munt make an ho? nest effort, and we believe that good ci? tizens will make that effort to save tho old Ship of State from being entirely overwhelmed in the corrupt abyss which dishonest and corrupt men have opened for her. "Oar citizons have been fleeced until forbearance has ceased to be a virtue, and the movemout initiated at the lie form Convention, last week, by honest men without regard to political preju? dices, will, if vigorously pushed forward, eventually orown our efforts with suc? cess. The platform adopted is liberal and just, and strong enough, and broad enough for every honest man in the State to stand upon." BARNWELL.-The Journal says : "It is surely a platform upon which all eau unite who are determined to es? tablish a just and equal administration for the benefit of the whole people. The new party is to be known as the Union Reform Party of South Carolina, and its efforts will be chiefly directed to re? form the present incompetent and ex? travagant administration of the State government. NEWBERRY.-The Herald says: "The banner is now thrown to tho breeze and under its ample folds all good men and true will rally. The platform appended below is broad and liberal. "The Beform Convention which con? summated its glorious work in Columbia Hall, last Thursday, was composed ?#f some of the best men of tho State, and they went right at it, and finished the work they had to do in a bravo, manly, liberal and statesmanlike manner. The Convention was composed of Demo? crats and .Republicans, who are a unit in tho good work of Reform, and whoso wisdom is shown in the namo adopted Union Reform Party-standing upon the broad, liberal, middle-ground of vantage, with truth, and justice, and civil and political equality to all men, the banner of Union Reform, will sooner or later overshadow the State with its generous protection." SUMTER.-The News dissents. EDGEFIELD.-The Advertiser endorses the movement in the article elsewhere published. ANDERSON.-The Intelligencer says: ?'The platform adopted by thc Con? vention meets with our hearty and un? qualified approval. It is a fair and honest recognition of accomplished facts. The questions hitherto dividing tho raoes in this State aro permanently set? tled by this action of tho Convention, which was composed of white and color? ed delegates. It was the first occasion, since the present state of public affairs has been inaugurated, that representa? tives of both races met together in this capacity. The tone of the colored speakers was admirable, and evinced a clear perception of the duties devolving upon thoir people towards securing an honest and upright administration of tho State Government. We would rejoice to know that their leading mon, from the eea-board to the mountains, were equally desirous of bringing about this reforma? tion, and would assist in hurling from power and patronage tho vampires who have fattened upon the blood of the commonwealth for the last two years." OCONEE.-The Courier says: 4'In this issue, wo have spread beforo our readers the proceedings of tho Con? vention hold in Columbia on tho 15th instaut. The platform adopted by that body is brief and Buffioiontly broad for all mon of liberal views to unite iu u common effort to redeem tho State from the hands of corruption and misrule. Tho question is, whether wo shall, by a stubborn supineness, invite further ag? gression, or by a bold and manly effort, endeavor to euro the evils which oppress us. It is no louger a contest between Democrat and radical, white and colored; but between honesty aud dishonesty, moderate taxation and public extrava? gance. No one shoald hesitate on which side ho will cast his influence. The Con? vention, in the discharge of its duties, nominates for Governor aud Lieutouant Goveruor. Whatever be our private pre? ferences, wo should remember that in union la the only hope of success, and give these nominees that support which is due to the principles enunciated by the Convention, of which they are the embodiment. Personally, they aro un? objectionable, and by education are amply qualified for their high trusts." - , GREENVILLE.-The Mountaineer says: "Tho proceedings of tho recent Con? vention held in Columbia, to inaugurate a reform party in this State, will be found on our first page. The necessity for such a measure has beon made too plainly apparont to need explanation or bolstering. Republican rule has so em? barrassed the people os to demand an earnest and scarchibg reform in the whole machinery of government. But while we give a cordial acquiescence to the movement, wo are pained to state that we cannot conscientiously yield an un? faltering support to all the results of the Convention. We do not think the nomi? nee for Governor the right man, and se? riously doubt whether he will bo able to carry with him tho support of auy con? siderable portion of his own party; and thus will be added to the humiliation of defeat tho damaging influence of a com? promise of principle. Beyond this, wo state no objection now." The Mountaineer supports Gen. But? ler, but not Judge Carpenter. CHESTER.-The Repo7-ter says: "We surrender our editorial columns to a detailed report of the proceedings of the Convention that assembled in Co? lumbia on the 15th instant for the pur? pose of inaugurating measures to reform the Stato Government, by .substituting honesty for dishonesty, justice for in? justice, aud an equal regard for the rights of all, in plnco of a partial and prejudiced administration of thc laws. The Convention was a largo and enthu? siastic one, and its deliberations were marked with tho utmost harmony and earnestness. The name adopted for the new organization is singularly felicitous, implying a union of all parties, classes, conditions, and colors, for tho great pur? pose of reform. YOUK.-Thc Enquirer says: "An exciting campaign is promised for the salvation of the country; but, for our part, wo propose to koop as cool as pos? sible. The woather is sultry enough now, and our stock of caloric during the sum? mer will not bo increased by avoidable mental agitation. Our people are patri? otic, and will try to assist in saving the country, bat thny wish to do their share of tho work as quietly as possible. They will, at any rate, strive for a victory over the grass which is now threatening tbeir crops, beforo they invest heavily in poli? tics." The Darlington Democrat, tho Sumter Watchman, and the Spartanburg Spartan receive tho movement without comment. The Guardian, (Columbia,) strongly en? dorses. WmniAMsnnito.-The Star cudorscs the movement. KERSHAW.-The Camdeu Journal does the same, and makes a vigorous appeul iu its behalf. AB-LAURENS;.-Tho Herald says: "Tho spirit of the movement-tho life of the 7iew party now organized-is re? form in the admiuistration of the State Government. The present stato of things in South Carolina is so onerous to all good oitizons as to appeal to our mauhood for an effort to throw it off. The Scott dynasty must bo overthrown. To be rid of it demands a manly effort from all good citizens and honest men. We move forward us citizens, disregard? ing Federal politics, old issues, and indi? vidual prejudices." ABBEVILLE.-The Press and Banner is reticent. UNION.-The Times reserves its com? ments until tho candidates are heard from. Tho Greenville Enterprise defers its comments. The Darlington Southerner is silent, and the Spartanburg Republi? can follows its Charleston confrere. Tlie lt?min].? of tltc Edgeileld Adver? tiser-The Spirit of the Day-Generul Huller Progressive. In another column, our rendors will find thoromarksof tho Advertiser, on the spirit of the Reform movement. They aro, we think, based upou a due appre? ciation of tho spirit of tho times here and in Europe. They recognize in ? fluencoB that prevail. As for our duty in theso times, we think that Gen. Butlor showed that ho understood it, when he said, "I propose to step to tho front and grapple with things ns they are." Nor is it less evident that Gen. Butler is in accord with the progressive spirit of the times when he Bays, with force: "Look where we may, the tendency of thc time is towards the eulargement of popular rights. Tho German Confede? ration has sprung into greatness under the magic power of the illustrious Bis? marck. Tho French demand reform, and tho Emperor concedes it through tho medium of tho plebiscitum. The people of Great Britain domaud reform, and it is granted by that strong Govern? ment. Spain is emancipating her slaves, and Rusbia hor serfs. AU tho civilized countries of the earth aro cnguged iu the samo progressive movement, and why should wo of Amorica lag behind in the raco? Sir, it is in pursuanco of theso great demands of tho hour, that we con? cede what has been embodied iu this platform. If wo had no other reason, tho motive of progress alone would be a sufJiciont oxcuso for tho position wo take. The differ en co between the governments of the Old World and of the Now is, that when reform is domanded there, statesmen aro sagacious and yield to the pressure, at tho same time that they pro serve tho dignity and integrity of the Government. In America, however, we te tir things np by tho roots. We en? danger and imperil tho existing stuto of things, and tarn the bottom tap, leaving the roots to expire in the sun. Now, sir, all tho reform we urge is in the man? agement of the affairs of the . State. It is not a question of politics, not a ques? tion of power, but of truth, honor and virtue." The Reconstruction Committee of tho House of Representatives, Bays the Richmond Enquirer, has at lust reported what purports to be a general amuosly bill, but which might be more properly termed a bill for the moro complete dis? franchisement of nil of the more promi? nent men iu tho South. Instend of doing a gracious thing, and giviug gene? ral amnesty, tho party in power seeks to continue uuder disabilities all persons educated at West Poiut or Aunnpolis all ex-members of Congress-all hoads of departments-all Governors duriug the rebellion-ali members of conventions who siguod ordinauces of secession-all ex-ministers to foreign couutrios-all de? linquents to the Federal Government for monies due prior to the war-and, as if to render more odious those named, it is added, aud all deserters from tho United States army and uavy. If the bill passes, then farewell to amnesty to any man belonging to the classes named, while radical rule conti? nues, unless, like men whoso names ought never to bo mentioned, they de? grade themselves by becomiug rene? gados to their blood and section. The Radical, a monthly organ of ne? gation, issued iu Boston, suspends pub? lication for wau t of support. The rea? son is obvious, says tho New York World; radicalism has no vitality in it-must ex? pend itself in gusts. Tho whole beadon cy of tho ago is constructive, not de? structive. If Wendoll Phillips would only suspend publication, too, tho logi? cal iuterpretation of the ago would be carried out, oven iu Boston. 1870 began a now era-the era of reconstruction; and projectors of radical movements mayas well fold up their tents, like the Arabs. From 1790 to 1S30 represents tho ozoic period of American thought; from 1830 to 1S70 the metamorphic. The age of conservative, historical progress has just begun. The logical lines of the progressive, aud uot tho erratic, will go? vern for the uoxt half century at least. The lirio,m Convention. Tho lato Convention in Columbia ad journed ou Thursday ovoniug last, aftei having adopted a platform, und nomi uatcd candidates for Governor ant Liuuteuaut-Goveruor of the State. Tin platform and proceedings of the Cou veutiou will bo lound iu another part o: our present issue. This body was undoubtedly inspired by high and earnest motives; and it? platform is worthy uf the occasion, ont' fully up to the progress of tho age. In debd it is, after all, but a recognition o tho lire-existing rights of all dusses uni conditions, as declared iu the late amend mouts to tho Constitution of tho Uuitei States. Rut at the same time it is caro fully worded, considerately weighed, am deliberately matured. It is wide euougl for all to stand upon, yet conservative broad enough for tho requiremeuts o tho Constitution, yet dignified; libera enough to meet tho progressive spirit o the day, yet guarded aud discreet. It i above all a simple and manly recognitioi of the fails accomplis of tho war, and o the lute incorporations into the Cousti tution of tho United States, which al good citizens are bouud to obey aa th supremo law of the land, so loug as the; remain unrepeated. The platform i simply in accord with the law of th' laud; and no policy was intended, w believe, but an honest, earnest effort ti reform the preseut corrupt Goverumen of tho State, and to leud a quiet nn< dignified acquiescence to tho Coustitu tion of tho Union. The platform, as wo have already said is not only in aocord with tho law of th laud, but is in response to tho universe spirit and progress of tho ago iu al civilized countries. This spirit aud pro gross, we of tho South may not particu iarly admiro or sympathize with, but w certainly cannot ignore it, or shut ou eyes to its workings. Three-fourths of tho States of thi Uuiou have declared the rights set fort iu this platform to be a part of th Federal Constitution, and iu submittiu thereto und acquiescing thereiu, th South docs uothiug moro than recoguiz tho unquestioned right in all Democrt cics that the people ure tho sovoreigus. Tho truth is the people have becom so oven in the most dospotic goveri ments of the old world. Tho abolitio: of serfdom in Russia, whore tho Em pc roi- is absolute in his sway, is a strikiu illustration of this fact. Tho great autc erat of that colossal empire dared to oj pose uo longer the wishes of millions c his subjects, and yielded with so muc grace as to havo earned tho praise for tl emaucipatiou. Tho unitod kingdom c Italy domauded the right, hitherto ui known in that land, of voting fora kin;, aud Victor Emanuol, with great pract cul statesmanship, anticipated their d< mund by so ordering. Tho French En peror, tho Augustus Ctosar of the da; taught in the schools of experience bot of Europe and of this oountry, has, b anticipating the resolute demand of h people for enlarged rights, thrice eecurc pence to Franco, and the crown to bin self. And the important concessions < the plcbiscilum lately so skillfully gran ed by this astute ruler, stamp him as tl greatest diplomatic- statesman of the hour. In Austria and Prussia COD cession s and enlarged rights make up the order of the day. Even great and glorious old Eng? land combats the radical measures of Bright, Mills, and other intellectual gla? diators, only by anticipating them with her people, and forestnlliug what she re? gards an absolute necessity iu tho way of demand on their part. Why then should we not gracefully accept and endorse the labor of the Convention and acknowledge this earnest und honest platform as a dignified acquiescence in pre-- rusting rights, uud us a wise desire to relieve our beloved State from further anarchy and corruption. Of the gentlomeu norainnted by the Convention, we shall speak here only o? General Butler, loaviug our peoplo to rend of Judge Carpenter's character, views and antecedents, from pons better informed upon these points than ours. And of General Butler, our popular and admired fellow-citizen, we sball say bul little, for what can we say, iu this his home, more thau is already known, and appreciated by all. Geu. Butler is au able and practical man, an honost and honorable man, aud a man whose devo? tion to his State is quito beyoud all cavil. Evory white mon-every native white man-in Edgefield District will voto foi Gen. Butler. Aud if tbc negroes do not, it will be because they dare not. \Edgefield Advertiser. A NOVELTY IN THIEVING.-French thieves seem possessed of a fertile inven? tion. The other day, says a French pa? per, a lady went into a haberdasher's Bhop, Rue Bicbelieu, and bought a pearl gray silk dress. The shopmuu had no? ticed a tolernbly well-dressed mau stand? ing at the door after tho arrival of the lady, and seeming to watch all hor move? ments. Stepping up lo tho cashier's desk tho lady drew o 200-frauc note from her purse. At that moment tho man outside rushed iuto tho shop, gave the lady a box on thc ear, and toro tho note out of her hands. "I had forbidden 3*ou to buy that dress," cried ho, "but 1 watched you, and you shall not have it." With these words ho hastened away, the lady fainted, and the poisons omployed in the shop, supposing the intruder tc be an offended husband, made no re? mark, and lot him go. Wheu tho lady recovered, thoproprietor of tho establish mont expressed his regret at this violout scene, and pitied her for boiug depen? dent on so brutal a husband. "My hus baud!" cried tho lady eagerly. "Sir, that mau is not my husband; I do not know bim." The pretended husband was a daring thief. CALIFORNIA GOLD.-The nunual pro duction of gold, it is reported by tht California papers, has iu eight years time fallen from 832,000,000 to $23,000, 000, and has now become a legitimate business, yielding no moro than an ave rage remuneration, nud not so much u: mauy other trades. The mining busi ness, it is stated, has passed into thc control of largo capitalists, and tb< miners receive wages of four dollars t day. Tho capitalists assert that they un unable to koop the mines in operation a the nbovo wages, while tho miners nr< resisting a reduction of prices; as n con sequeuce, man}* of the mines are closed and those still in operation do not offei any prospect of reasonable returns. GOOD PLACE ron NEWSPAPERS.-Pitts burg is probably better supplied witl newspapers thau any other eily in tin Uuiou of tho same population. It sup ports seven daily English papers, name ly: Tho Dispatch, Gazette, Commercial Chronicle, Post, Mail an A Republican;\tat? Sunday papers, tho Leader, Dispatch Mirror and Mail; five raligious weeklies the United Presbyterian, Christian Advo cate, Catholic, Presbyterian Banner anc Christian Radical; ono commercial week ly, tho Review; two monthly publica tions, Leisure Jlours and Youths' Cabinet and ono or two advertising sheets.

' SOUTHERN EXPRESS FREIGHT LINE. ? Wc wero furnished, yesterday, by the t Agent of this onterprisu. with a circular i from tho General Superintendent, at Augusta, Georgia. Tho desigu of this '{ line is to promote speedy transportation of heavy freight, by special express freight traius, leaving New York, Phila ' delphia and Baltimore, daily, and com 3 mends itself to tho consideration of the - business public on account of its low ' rates, speedy transit and prompt delivery. ' Tho most prominent feature is tho fact that the rates of transportation have , been very materially reduced, being . from New York to Columbia, SI.00 per \ 100 pounds; from Philadelphia to this ? point, 83.50, and from Baltimore, ouly ,. 83.00. Hats, millinery and other light f goods arc charged fifty per cent, higher, j and as this line is mostly for tho expedi? tion of heavy freight, no packages in i paper wrappings, or of a less weight than 100 pounds will bo received. 3 Freight iuteuded for this line should bo 3 plainly marked "Southern Express T Froight Liue," aud dolivered at tho " various offices in Now York, foot of Liberty stroot; in Philadelphia, corner j of Elevouth aud Market, and iu Balti? more, at 161 Baltimoro etreet. The agents of tho Southern Express Coin l pany will furnish particulars and rates, t As this lino proposes to furnish facilities for transportation not horetoforo enjoyed by thc business community, we bespeak for it a favorable consideration, believing that it will bo ablo to perform what thoy declare. Give the line a trial and let it stand or fall by that universal test-its j own merits. HOTEL ARRIVALS, Jane 24- Columbia Hotel. 1 JUL Stillwell, John Kenrick, Z A Y Bain, J \V 2 ?

He waa in favor of sayiug to Spain, and in tho simplest words in which it can be expressed, that you not only ought to recognize tho iudepeudeuco of Cuba, but yon 7>i ust do it. He would now move to strike out the second and third sections of tho resolutions. Casserley, also, spoke against the resolutions, but was interrupted by the regular order tax bill-whou the income tax was stricken ont by a vote of 34 to 23. After which, the bill was made the special order for Monday. A new apportion? ment bill was introduced iu the Senate, in session, to-night.
