Ia oar own State, we baye charged tbe
present administration and the present
dominant party with covert hostility to
immigration. Wo believe this charge to
be woll-founded. Jost so long os the
present ?tato of things continues-just
BO long as party tactics and personal
self-seeking usurp the place of a disinte?
rested regard for. the. public , good-just
so long as the brazen presumption of the
carpet-bag element shall seek, in con?
junction wiftr the credulity of the colored
man, to control onr policy, just so long
will no official efforts be pnt forth to
.quicken in this State the good work of
introducing within our bordors the
healthy accession of capital and settlers,
either from the North or Europe. Nor
is this spirit Of hostility to immigration
-confined to -South Carolina, lt seems
td bo a feature in the National Republi?
can party. Reaently, Senator Brake, ap
extreme radical, declared in tho United
States S$nato that the next civil war in
thia country would probably arise from
tho influence exerted by tho foreign ele?
ment in our midst. If this is the senti?
ment Of the radical party, it is well for
tho issue, to be met and. to be met
promptly. Upon this question, .we.shall
be found in -active sympathy - with the
National Democraoy-tho great Baving
party of tho country-the friend of the
immigrant--the friend of the ..working?
man-the champion .of popular lights
the staunch upholder of constitutional
freedom-the great advocate of Jacal
self-government and of decentralization.
As for this kuow-nathing spirit, which
seeks to close tho gates of this oountry
to the immigrant from Europe, and
? whiclt would prosoribe white men be?
cause ol the placo of their birth, we
apposed it once and we shall oppose it
again. Tho National Democraoy struck
it down once, and if it rears its head, it
will again rsceivo its quietus. As for us
in the South, it is a matter of life to ?n?
eo ur ago immigration, and no politioal
party should receive any sanction that
does in any way throw obstacles in the
way of this great work. It is immigra?
tion that has made the North and the
North-west. It has made the wealth and
strength of the North. Had it not been
for free and fall immigration from
Europe-had it not been for the Ger?
man, the Irish, the Swede and other
nationalities-the North would have
fallen far short of its present strength.
Prussia v?. France-Bismarck -ri. Napo?
leon.
As our readers have perceived from
the telegrams published in our columns,
Franoe and Prussia stand in hostile atti?
tude. Gen. Prim offers the crown of
Spain to Prince Leopold, of Hohenzol?
lern-a member of the royal family of
Prussia. He accepts it. France prompt?
ly dissents; at once half-draws her sword,
and Napoleon, speaking through his
Foreign Minister, the Dake do Grani
mont, says decisively that Franco would
never allow this arrangement to be car?
ried out. Thus, Napoleon steps out
boldly and crosses sword with Bismarck.
How stand the parties now? "Wo think
the advantages are with Napoleon. Prus?
sia, doubtless, remembers the glory of
SADOWA, when she humbled tho pride of
Austria, and took her place among the
first-class powers of Europe, throwing
even France in the shade. But she has
less confidence in herself and Bismarck
than she had four years ago, and time
has mellowed tho splendor of her mili?
tary achievements. On the other hand,
France stands strong anti compact, and
the Emperor, strengthened by his libe?
ralism, plants himself upon his majority
of nearly 7,000,000 of votes on the re?
cent plebiscite, and relying upon his
grand army, boldly challenges the issue
with his rival beyond the Rhine. Wo
aro inclined to think with the New York
World, that Napoleon has turuod the
tables upon Prussia. Whether peace or
war shall be the result in this "unplea?
santness," Napoleon holds the winning
cards. Even if Prussia declines tho
issue of war, a diplomatic defeat, damag?
ing to her prestige, certainly awaits her.
Wo shall watch tho result with interest.
To us, it seems apparent thut tho star of
Napoleon is in the ascendant. He is
cool, quick, sagacious, prompt. Tho
situation has not yet como of which ho
is not the master. Prim and Bismarck
have been confronted by tho ruler of
Franco. Fight they must or back down.
This is tho stato of tho case. Says Na?
poleon, in languago that suggests tho
ring of battlo: "France will never per?
mit a German Prince to take his seat
upon tho throne of Charles the Fifth."
And tho imperialist organ, tho Pays,
uses warlike words. It talks of avenging
Waterloo, and soys: "Frenchmen are
ready to tako tho same road to Jena and
Berlin which, their father? took, " Pend?
ing thia-^fflattor,-it is stated that commor
oial ocoles feel tho gravity of the situa?
tion, and tho Poris Bpurso opened Hat

CONDrTTONs"'PROMOTIVE OF REFORM
EFFORTS.-The New York World well
says:
"It ia ooo of tho best of the many
excellent features of our complex Federal
systom, which leaves such largo powers
of independent aotion to tho States, that
weean try proposed reforms oL| i small
scale and tost their value, before making
them general. If we had tho uniform,
consolidated National Government which
tho Bepublican party is seeking to intro?
duce, new experiments could not bo
tried without tho hazard of universal
disaster. But under our system of sepa?
rate Stato action, any ono State which
happens to bo wiser, or boldor, or moro
mobile, or even moro rash and daring
than the others, oan imitate and test re?
forms by which all may profit if they
succeed, and by which only tho State
that makes the experiments can suffer if
they provo unfortunate. What is at first
a mere plausible theory can bo tried in
practice ou a small soalo, and all the
other States can watch its operation and
profit by tho warning if it fails; by the
example if it succeeds. Our system of
independent States not only enables us to
introduce reforms with loss .hazard, but
it hastens their general adoption. Suc?
cessful experience is worth all the theo?
retical reasoning in tho .world; and
when the value of a reform has been es?
tablished by trial, there is no further
difficulty in making proselytes. Nobody
can computo tho time that would bo re?
quired to . bring tho whole oouutry to
venture upon minority representation;
but if the Illinois experiment works well,
it will.grow in public favor far moro
rapidly than it could by more argument
and discussion. Oar system of sepa?
rate, independent States gives us tho ad?
vantage of trying every new pieco of
political machinery in a small working
model before risking a great outlay of
capital in what may, after all, turn out
to bo only a plausible crotchet."
The New York World, of July S, says:
The air in Europo is full of war ru?
mors. There is great agitation and
aotivity in the French Foreign Office.
Among the many reports Hying about
Parisand Madrid, aro these: Alliances
have been concluded between France and
Austria on the one hand, and Spain ond
Pms lia on the other. Tho French fleet
at Brest is under immediate orders to
sail for tho Mediterranean. Prussia has
applied to tho Court of St. Petersburg
for advice. The report that Prim has
abandoned the Prince of Hohenzollern,
is denied by competent authority. He
will wait for tho action of tho Cortes,
though ho has telegraphed to Madrid that
Franco means war. An important state?
ment is that the French Minister of
Foreign Affairs has received a noto from
Berlin, the substance of which is that
Prussia will give its acceptance of the
Spanish offer only after the Cortes has
definitely made it, and then it will stick
to its position. This is cautious, digni?
fied, and plucky. Three-fourths of tho
members of tho Cortes are believed to
be favorable to the Prussian Prince. The
Council of Ministers at Madrid have
unanimously approved of the course of
General Prim. The Berlin press is
silent, the Madrid press divided, and the
Paris press belligerent. La Liberte
clamors for war, and calls on the Govern?
ment to get possession of the Rhenish
provinces, whatever may be tho cost.
In spite of all theso disquieting reports,
rentes woro firmer yesterday. It looks
as if tho financiers had no present ap?
prehension of war.
One of the most tyrannical of many
outrageous usurpations of abitrury power
which Congress has been guilty of lately,
is their action in the caso of Patrick
Woods. We venture to assert that tho
next time Dooley's Pat goes on tho war
path against scallnwags, he will bo care?
ful to find out first whether tho scound?
rel he desires to thrash is a Congressman
or not. It is very important to know
these little things now, in view of tho
late action taken by the House of Rep?
resentatives, though how people living
in the Southern States are to attain such
desirable knowledge is, we confess, more
than wo know. Wood's counsel asked
to bo hoard in defense of their client be?
fore the bar of tho House on last Satur?
day, but were refused.
A couplo of Spanish naval officers re?
cently had a duel. They fought twenty
paces apart, to advance to a central line
and firo ot will. Ono walked forward,
and when near the lino tho other fired
and hit him. Tho wounded man stag
gored to the lino and said, "I am dead.
Como thou up and bo killed." The other
came up until ho touched tho muzzlo of
his adversary's pistol, and in a moment
both were dead. "Thoy died like gen?
tlemen," adds tho narrator of the inci?
dent.
On the Illinois railroads thero is a wo?
man who makes hor living by getting
sick on tho enrs, stopping ovor nt various
points, and enlisting tho sympathies of
tho residents. She tells a vory pitiful
story, saying that her homo is in somo
other town, and that she waa on her way
homo from visiting a sister; that she was
taken suddenly ill and was short of f linds.
She usually succeeds in raising a fow
dollars this way at each station.
Tho fashionable pastimo of murder in
this oity has just ouoountercd a terrible
drawback. Last night a would-bo assas?
sin put five pistol balls into the body of
ono "Piper" Burns, but the pesky villain
absolutely refused to "peg lout. How
long can assassination survive such dis?
couraging rosults as this?-New York

Your kind letter Bhould have been an?
swered long ero this, bat really I have |
been so harassed with examination and
the insults and ill-treatment of these ca?
dets that I could not write or do any?
thing else,; scarcely. I passed examina?
tion all right and got in, but my com?
panion, Howard, failed and was rejected.
Since he went a wa;, x havo been lonely
indeed, and now these fellows appear to
be trying their utmost to ruu mo off, and
I fear they will succeed if they coutiuue
as they have begun. Wo went into camp
yesterday, and not a moment has passed
since then but some one of them has
been cursing and abusing me. All night
thoy were around my tent, cursing nud
swearing at me so that I did not sleep
two hours all night.
It is just the same at the table, aud
what I get to eat I must snatch for like
n dog. I don't wish to resign if I can
goL ulong at all; but I don't think it will
be tho best for mo to stay and take all
the abuses and insults that aro heaped
upon mo. The examiuation was very
hard this year-harder than evor before
and since I have been successful in get?
ting in I will stay as long as I possibly
can. One of the cadets refused to drill
his squad because I was in it, and they
reduced him from a corporal to a private
for disobedience of orders, and they are
all mad about that. The ono who drills
the squad now is tho meanest specimen
of humanity I ever saw. After march?
ing us out to the drill-ground this morn?
ing he said to me, "Standoff ono side
from the line, you d-d black son of a
b-h. You are too near that white man.
.I want you to remember you are not on
an equal footing with tho whito men in
your class, and what you learn hore you
will have to pick up, for I won't teach
you ad- d tiling." And thus ho kept
me standing until tho captain came
around inspecting, when ho pretouded
that ho put me there to teach mo a
move which I had never practiced bo
fore. And I could say nothing at all, or
I would have boen locked up for disobe?
dience of orders or disrespect to "supe?
rior o Ulcers," If it every happens again
I shall deny it to his face and then re?
sign.
If I complain of their conduct to tho
commandant, I must prove the charges,
or nothiug eau bo done; aud whero am I
to find one from so many to testify iu my
behalf? If this afternoon's drill is con?
ducted as this morning's was, you need
not bc astonished at hearing that I have
resigned. I have borne insult upon in?
sult until I am completely worn out. I
have written a plenty of bad news, and I
wish I had some good news for you, but
alas! it seems to be getting worse and
worse. I forgot to tell, you that out of
ninety-ono appointees, flvo failed physi?
cally, forty-seven failed mentally, leav?
ing thirty-uiue admitted. They had pre?
pared it to lix tho colored candidates,
but it proved most disastrous to tho
whites. J. W. SMITH.
REMOVAL OF POLITICAL DISABILITIES.
Mr. Robertson, in the Senate, on the
6th inst., gave the following notice :
Tho Senator from Maine hos kindly
consented to yield a moment to allow me
to give notice to the Senate, that to?
night, after the army bill is passed, I
Shall call up Senate bill No. 969, for the
removal of political disabilities.
This "bill" contains the names of some
four thousand penitent men, asking tho
forgiveness of their political sius. Christ,
in his sermon on the mount, says:
"Ask, and it shall bo given you; seek,
and yo shall lind ; knock, and it shall be
opened unto you."
Now, sir, these political sinners have
asked, sought and knocked, through the
mediation of the committee of which I
have the honor of being tho chairman,
and in the name of that committeo I ask
that the door bo opened unto them, and
they be restored to all tho rights and
privileges of citizens.

A FAMILY THAT DIE IN THEIR BOOTS.
In Now Orleans, on tho 17th ultimo, a
shooting nffair took placo between two
respectable young men, named E. J.
Byrd and P. V. Ducros, in which the
former was fatally wounded in thc left
breast. Tho encounter occurred on
Commercial alley, near the St. Charles
Hotel, aud was the result of a feud bo
tween the parties, who aro brothers-in
law. Ducros is Secretary of the Kuick
erbockcr Insurance Compauy. He
surrendered himself to tho police. The
New Orleans Times says of tho Byrd
family:
Orriu Byrd, father of the young man,
after several bloody affairs, was killed in
the year 185-, by Matt. Edwards, a
young lawyer, who was pursued across
the street by Byrd, with a knife. His
dead body was laid out in the broker's
shop of Horace BeaD, corner of Common
and Camp streots. He was a very hand?
some and elegant gentleman, perfectly
fearless, but always fought to the death.
His appearance was elegant to efieniina
cy, and whon laid ont in the broker's
shop, was dressed in the extreme of
the fashion. After this, his brother, Dr.
Byrd, of Baton Rouge, killed a young
Dr. Skillmau, who attacked him iu re?
venge for a wrong done to a member of
his family. Stillman fired several times,
and Byrd closed with him and stabbed
him to death. Ho escaped from Baton
Rouge, settled somewhere in Alabama,
and being assailed by a man with a cane,
ran him through tho body with a* sword
drawn from his cate; was tried, convict?
ed and sentenced to a long imprisonment,
and took prussic acid and died.
Theodore Byrd, tho youngest of tho
family, was killed in the Verandah bar?
room by a young mau who charged him
with seducing his wife. Ho was stabbed
to the heart.
Tho Byrds were from Hamburg, South
Carolina-parents very respectable-they
were all well educated meu, of very pleas?
ing address, Ac. Orriu Byrd, tho father
I of tho young man shot, a few days after
his marriage fought a duel with Richard
Hagan, on tho track of the Mexican Gulf
Railroad. Both parties were wouuded,
Hagan so seriously, that ho lost a portion
of his foot, aud ever afterward had to go
on crutches.

No speaker ever faced au audience to
meet a warmer, heartier and more enthu?
siastic welcome thau this distinguished
Carolina soldier and Christian gentleman.
His introduction was greeted with rap?
turous applause. Ho discussed, in a
speech of an hour's length, his subject,
which was substantially the influence of
education on tho progress of nations
and, as bearing on this subject, the effect
of woman's intellectual and moral de?
velopment. Tho speaker drew from his?
tory and the classics, illustrations of the
noble influence of woman upon the civi?
lization of tho past; her power over the
spirit of the armies of the South in her
recent struggle agaiust mankind, under
tho banners of tho Northern States; urg?
ing the matron of the South as the very
highest tj-pe of womau, and deploring
any modification of her attributes by the
strong-minded and radical agitators of
New England aud Great Britain. The
speaker's style and manner are formed
more after the Athenian than Oriental
models-with moro regard to force and
logical connectiou than the beauties ol
speech and rhetorical finish. He was
frequently interrupted with applause,
and listened to throughout with profound
attention. We trust to see this able ef?
fort giveu to the public iu form to per?
petuate it, and hop^e tho talented speakoi
will place it at the disposal of the Trus?

headed Lippman'a Great German Bitters, a
preparation that has been used for upward of
a century in enlightened Europe, with the
greatest success in the euro of Dyspepsia or
Indigestion, Constipation, Loas of Appetite,
Liver Complaint, loss of tone in the digestive
organs, etc. The proprietors,. Messrs. Jacob
Lippman A Bro., Havannah, Ga., have,at con?
siderable outlay, succeeded in obtaining the
original recipe for making thia delightful tast?
ing Bitters, and pledge their reputation that
in preparing it, tho original standard shall be
kept up. June2
Thc best LlVEB medicine is HEINITSH'S
QCEEN'S DEX.IC.HT. Thia wondorfnl vegetable
compound acts with certainty upon the Liver
and Stomach, without impairing tho functions
of any other organ. It invigorates, restores,
improves tho general condition of the system;
regulates tho Bowels by its aperient proper?
ties; stimulates tho Liver and makes it act;
strengthens the digestion and gives tono to the
man. It awakens the dull and sluggish Liver
to activity and lifo. This is, of all tho season,
tho time'to try it. Go and got a bottle from
Hoi ni tah-you will not regret it. J5
