COLUMBIA, S. C. Sunday Morning:, July 31,1870. . Organisation ?ud Activity Needed. Tho platform adopted by the recout radical convention, pronouncing the pre? sent administration "economical, wise and honest" and alluding to the "happy" situation in which wo stand, is the best argument for tho reform movement that auy intelligent citizen could want. Hero ia a body of mon containing such spirits as Whittomore, Bowan, Mackey and other larger and lesser radical liglits, who meet in solemn oonolave and with not a word about the patent corruption and fraud that have been practised; with not a word about the Land Commission swin? dles; they laud the situation and illus? trate a spirit of brazen effrontery. Tho time hos oomo for prompt, efficient, or? ganized action on tho part of all good oitizens who seek tho prosperity of the State. Under the banner of Reform, now upborne by Carponter, Butler, Ker? shaw, and other kindred spirits, and to be carried from one end of tho State to the other, let all the elements of opposi? tion to the reigning regime bo promptly gathered. And then let thoso elements in eaoh County be organized. Without compact and thorough organization, no effeotivo work can be done. Let each County have its local and general clubs and go vigorously and energetically to work. With the reform movement carried to a successful end, we can soo for South Carolina a bright and encouraging fu? ture. Immigration would bo stimulated, trade would reoeivo an impetus, capital seek investments hero, and the regene? ration of South Carolina be quickened. Peace, security, and prosperity, would be tho result of reform consummated. Judgiug from the reports made in the Charleston News and Courier, of tho re? cent meetings at Bickens, Pendleton and Anderson, we have no doubt about the spirit of tho up-country. That portion of the State-than which, no other portion is moro vigorous, and patriotic, and true-will heartily embrace the re? form movement; and we aro sure that no influences that may be brought tc bear upon thom, by self-seeking parti sans, will divert them from the supporl that is duo to reform. Nor will the re snit be otherwise in the low country, ani the middle country. Everpwhcre, tin intelligence and the property of tin State will be found a unit for retrench ment and reform. We ask that tho re commendation of tho Executive Com mittee of tho reformists, bo complice with, and that a thorough orgauiza tiou bo made in ench County in th< State. A ll ut eic Imminent. Thc indications aro that tho Frond and Prussian armies will soon moot for i pitched battlo. Both parties haves beet rapidly coucontratiug their respeotivi forces. King William was reported a Mayenco on tho 2Gth, auel Napoleon after issuing a stirring address, has gou< to tho front to put himself at tho boat of his army. It is thought that ho wil prompt^' cross tho frontior and that thi Prussians will receives tho attack. It i held by some writers that Napoleon hui already under hand 800,000 mon. Iii army is said to be in a magnificent stab of eliscipline and his artillery of a Biipcs rior order. It is cons-idorcd doubtfu about Prussia being so well prepared a France for the onset, anil it is likely tba the Prussians will retire, at least for th present, behind tho Rhino. lu our jud? mont, a heavy blow will soon bo struck < .? ? ? In his remarks at Bickens, Gen. Butlc mado the following charge against Gov Seott. He said: "I charge, that shortly precedent t tho last Presidential election, Gov. Seid said to Gen. Hamilton, and two otho geutlemou, that he not only wished th Stato to voto Democratic, but would ns bis influence to that cnil; anel that h was tired of tho negroes, and wouli make enough of them resign their seat in the Legislature, so ns to give tho whit men a majority in that body." What is tho roply of his Excellency t this? Let us have somo light upon thi episodo of tho campaign of 18GS. Th matter will bo regarded with interc alike by the Governor's supporters un by persons generally. Can it bo tin this light of radicalism and upecial fricn of tho negro was roady, had tho scale turned for Seymour and Blair, to helra those ioho had put their trust in him ?" What is tho truth? Gen. Butler refoi to Gen. Hamilton and two other genii men, as parties to thia affair. Govcrne Scott will be expected to meet this d ranging disclosure-a disclosure thi must have its effect upon his blind nt misguided aelhorcnts. A journalist who has boen spending fortnight in the White Mountain:), sa: ho has enjoyed himself very much, ha ing fallen into six rivers, sprained h ankle, skinned his face and neck, nt broken three ribs tho first nine days. WHAT TO DO WITH WHJTTEMOKE.-An editorial in the New York Tribune says: We see it stated thal Mr. Whittemore, the rejected cadet-peddling Congress? man, purposes becoming onco moro- a cnndidnte for tho place from which he has been ejected. Wo should like to know how it happens that this criminal is at large, to run for auy office. Who is the District Attorney in South Caroli? na, charged with the duty of prosecuting notorious offenders against the statutes of tho United States? Why has ho for months neglected this plain case, and how mneh longer does he propose to neglect it? Hero is tho law which Mr. Whitt?toore has broken: "If any member of Congress shall, directly or indirectly, receive any pecu? niary or other valuable compensation for procuring any office or placo nndor tho Government, he shall bo liable to indict? ment for misdemeanor in a United Statos Court, and upon conviction shall pay a fine not exceeding 810,000, and bo im? prisoned in the penitentiary for a term not oxecoding two years, and bo there? after disqualified from holding auy office of honor, profit, or trust, under tho Go? vernment of tho United States." That the proper officer may havo no doubt as to there being sufficient evi? dence of guilt to warrant the promptest proceedings, wo recall to his attention this almost unanimous declaration of tho House of Representativos: "Resolved, That B. F. Whittomore, Into mombcr from the First District of South Carolina, did make appointments to tho Military Academy nt West "Point and thc Naval Academy at Annapolis, in violation of law, and that such appoint? ments were influenced by pecuniary con? siderations, and that his conduct in the premises has been such ns to show him unworthy of a seat in tho House of Rep? resentativos, nud is therefore condomned as oonduot unworthy of tho representa? tive of the people." Now why baa not this notorious of? fender boeu brought to justico? Why are wo threatened with tho disgrace of another canvass in which ho shall bo a prominent candidato? Why must we bo subjected to tho possiblo humiliation of having this man again presented for membership at the bar of tho House? We call upon tho District Attorney and the Courts to do their too-long neglected duty. And we call upon Attorney-Gone ral Akerman to seo that they neglect it no longer. Opon tho penitentiary doors for him, and let us have au ond of Whi? temore! THE TERRIBLE HEAT IM NEW YORK MOKE DEATHS VBOM SUN-STOKE.-Tho New York Times, of Wednesday, says: I The distressing heat continued yes i terday, and is having serious effect on tho lives o? the citizens. Heretofore thc deaths havo been confined to old men and youug children, but from tho re? turns of yesterday it will bo pOi'Coivod that young and middle-aged men uro falling victims to the sudden mortality. Tho thermometer yesterday marked ninety-five degrees in the shade, and in tho sun it was fully twenty degrees above fever boat. But for tho sanitary mea? sures adopted, there can be out littlo doubt the intense heat would have ere this produced a serious epidemic. A long list of those stricken down is given, and arhong them we note the name of John Sheffield, au athlete, aged fifty-four. Ho was prostrated us he was starting for Exhibition Hall, and sur? vived only a few hours. CUBA.-Thc Key West Dispatch, of the 16th inst., says: Tho latest reliable in? telligence wo have from Cuba is to thc effect that much despondency prevails in Spanish circles because of tho refusal of the homo Government to send more troops to the island. Tho guerilla sys? tem of war, adopted by the patriots, will cuablo them to carry on the war for au indefinite period of time. Cholorn, small-pox and yellow-fever had combined with the Cubaus against tho Spaniards, and not even the message of Grant could impart confidence tu tue adherents of Spain. The Now York Sunsnys that Bismarck and Prim arranged to have Leopold put on tho Spanish throne, and tho plan ugrcod upon between tho two rivals was, that when Loopold had beeomo firmly seated on tho Spanish throne, ho should give Cuba her independence, on tho con? dition, to bo settled beforehand, thnt tho Cubans should agrco to placo themselves undor tho protectorate of Prussia, and should ask for it. In return for tho boon of independence thus secured, Cuba was to pay to Spain tho sum ol' 8100,000,000, and the payment of this sum was to bo guaranteed by Prussia. In consid?ra? tion of this guaranty, and tho protecto? rate, tho North German Confederation was to havo tho uso of tho port of Ha? vana, or tho Gulf of Nipe, or any other waters ol' Cuba, for tho purpose of na? val stations. In tho opinion of Count Bismarck, it is very desirablo for the North Ger? man Confederation to acquire a foot? hold in America, such as this Cuban arrangement would afford, otherwise tho Confederation can never become a naval power of the first class. Tho limited sea coast and tho fow harbors of tho Gorman States put any great devel? opment of maritime forco out of tho question. PEDDLING PESTILENCE. - A frightful crime has como to light in tho West. Some speculators have boon buying infected buffalo robes from tho Indians of the plains who aro afflicted with small-pox, and havo transported them East and re? sold them, so that the loathsome disease hus boon scattered broad-cast in tho States. Tho facts havo only recently been discovered. 1,300 robes havo been seized by tho Government at Uinta sta? tion. The managers of tho Pacific Rail? road are using every effort to prevent tho passage of any moro of the death spreading merchnudizo over their line. The Laurensville Herald, referring to certain statements, published in the ra? dical organ .in Charleston, relative to difficult ins in Laurens District, says: We copy tho above from the Charles? ton Republican, clipped from distinct issues of the Scott organ, not with the view to giro them the lie, bnt to prepare the people of Laurens for what the seal lawags intend. Now, there has been no tronbloin Lau? rens, except that tho Scott militia fired a hundred gnns into the houses of Clin? ton, occupied by women and children. No white man was concornod-nobody hurt. Jos. Crows furnished tho car? tridges that were fired on the women and children. Our people aro warned to bo ready for any emorgency. These scoundrels in? tend mischief. Witness, tho paragraph as to tho assassination of Crews nt Mar? tin's, a month since, and answered by Maj. Leland's card. Tnn POSITION OF FRANCE.-The New York Times, which has boon notoriously "a French paper" ever since the inaugu? ration of tho present hostilities betweon France and Prussia, has completely "changed its front" on tho "secret troaty" as a pivot. Tho Times says: "Tho disclosure of this conspiracy changes tho aspect of the whole strug? gle. Tho attitude of PruBsia, it is true, is not affected by it, but Franco occu? pies a position which threatens ber with n disastor immeasurably greater than any sho has sustaiuod since Waterloo. While pretending to bo acting in good faith with tho English Government, Na? poleon is revealed in tho act of con? triving a coup d'etat for a parallol to which wc must go back to tho early days of his rulo. Bolgium seemed so securo that no ono of late years believed in tho ronewul of French aggression. Yet at tho moment tho Emperor Napo? leon has undertaken tho gigantic task of 'subdueiug' Prussia, ho has mannged, by a trick of inconceivable baseness, to set England at his throat. Henceforth it ia no longer au issue between the North Gcrmau Confederation and Franco. "Tho power which Napoleon most dreads, now stands behind Prussia with ber sword drawn. It issoorcely possible to imagine any loop-hole by which thc Emperor can escape from tho not ho har spun around himself. His objects in waging war against Prussia wero at leas! debatable. Count Bismarck's policy hat often been such, as we havo pointed out of late, to eu,sl suspicion ou a great cause But there can bo no two opinions witt regard to the attempt made by Franco tc entice Prussia into a crimo which wonk have had no counterpart since the parti tiou of Poland. Franco seems doomed to defeat in tho awful struggle which sin has taken upon herself, and sho will havi to thank tho Emperor for the humilia tiou. If Prussia can beat her single handed, there may bo no outside inter forenco. If sho cannot, it is quito clea that tho English fleet and English armie will go to her support, and when tba happens, the days of Napoleon's rulo ar numbered." INTERESTING RELICS.-A bottle o Rhino wino and tho glass globe of ; lamp, both with sea shells and moss ad hering to them, has been recovered b Captain W. N. Sames, diver of the Nc. York Monitor Wrecking Company, fron tho wreck of tho United States steai: transport Housatonic, sunk by a Cou federate torpedo, duriug tho lato war The bottle of wine is iutact, corked am sealed, and tho glass globe is part of : lamp that hung in tho cabin of that ill fated steamer when she went down. I Charleston News. A MELANCHOLY AFFRAY AT UNIO SFRINQS.- Tho Columbus Enquirer learn that, on Tuesday morning, a mau name Turver, in company with several youn men. ran away from Union Springs wit! a Miss Cook, to Columbus, to got mai ried. On their return that ovening, th father of tho young lady and his so met thom near the depot and commence shooting, Turvor's shot taking effect i tho top of young Cook's head and strih ing tho brain-supposed to bo fata! Turver was also shot in tho side. A special despatch to tho Now Yor Herald says tho English people aro ir dignnut at the course of tho Govert mont. Tho people want peremptor notico given Franco against disturbanc in Belgium or extension of Frene power on tho continent during or aftc tho war. Tho Government, in th meantime, whilo condemning tho porlid of Franco, closes her oyes to tho immens purchases of coal and ammunition fo tho usc of tho Freuch army. A number of destructivo fires aro rc ported to have occurred, on Tuesday destroying property as follows: At Ph: ladolphia, tho woolen mill of Joh Dearie, near Fairmount, loss SfiO.OLK insurance $24,000; at South Berwicli Mo., stores anil dwellings in thobusincf portion of tho town, loss 840,000, insui ance 817,000; aud at Syracuse, in Nc York State, a number of barns and othc property, loss 822.U00, insuranco 8G,uO( Denis Tuohey and John Wallace, til smiths and inti mato friends nud roll tives-living in Jersey City, a few dooi from each other-fell down and died, o Wednesday night last, at tho earn hour. Tho Cincinnati Qucon City Saw an Planing Mill nnd a dozen houses and largo quantity of lumber, wero burne Thursday morning. Tho mills wei owned by C. W. Magill. Mr. Langdon Bowio, sr., diodsuddci ly, in Savannah, Ga., on tho 27th, < disease of tho heart. The deceased wi a member of a large aud highly respe table family in Abbeville District, in th State. Clayton, who shot and killed Fret Myers, at Augusta, a few days since, hi beeu discharged, upon tho verdict of tl coroner's jury, "justifiable homicide." Mr. James E. Conyors, an old and r spectable citizen of Clarendon, is dead m* ocal Items. POUND PEACHES-WHO CAN MATCH THEM?-Mr. Wm. Price-who resides near Butcher Town-has presented hs with two monsters in tho peach line, whioh exceed in size anything wo ever saw, heard of, or read about. They measure thirteen inches in circumference, and weigh e.pound each. Theso poaches aro known as tho Chineso cling, and were grown on Mr. Price's promises, and thoso sent are an average of what the troe produced. We have heard of eight and ten ounco peaches, but a pound is so far beyond, as hurdly to bo mentioned in tho same breath. A statement in the Republican, to tho effect that tho arrivals at Bose's Hotol were sent to tho Democratic papers in Columbia every day, nud insertion re? fused, is untruo, so far as it refers to tho PuasNix. Bot ween 10 and ll o'clock on Monday night-nearly six hours after the latest trains had arrived-a list of arrivolBat tho above-mentioned hotol was handed in, and was omitted, solely on account of tho lateness of tho hour. No arrivals havo boen furnishod from that hotel, with tho solitary exception refer? red to, Bince tho last agricultural fair. ThiB Mr. Roso will corroborate. So fur as Mr. Boso's Bepublicanism is concern? ed, wo know nothing. In all our deal? ings with him, we have invariably found him disposed to be fair and honest. In his penitential speech, in tho late radical Convention, our quondam asso? ciate in politics, Col. Graham, sneeringly alluded to the cllss of *'ideas" that had governed South Carolina in tho past. It would be well for Col. Graham to bear this in mind, that if new ideas are to control this State henceforth, it will not j long bo tho "ideas" that he has cm braced. Heaven savo tho State, if tho genius of Whittemoro &? Co. is to give direction to it. Doubtless the past of South Carolina is not, in all respects, above criticism, but it ill becomes those who would fasten upon us an ignomini? ous regime to pass judgment upon tho mon who, in thoir day and generation, with no selfish purposes and no uuholy greed, did what they deemed best for tho commonwealth. ALVA GAGE AND OTHERS vs. TUE CITY COUNCIL OF CHARLESTON, HOLDERS OF CITY STOCK.-This case, complaining that the City Council of Charleston had no au? thority under its charter to subscribe or issue stocks in aid of railroads, and therefore praying au injunction against tho payment of the interest thereon or of assessments and taxes on the people for its payment, was heard on Friday and Saturday last, beforo Mr. Associate Jus? tice Willard. Mossrs. L. W. Spratfc and J. 1?. Carroll appeared for the plaintiffs, Hon. D. T. Corbin for tho City of Charleston, and Mossrs. John Phillips, William Whaloy and Thos. Y. Simons for the holders and owners of tho city stock. Judgo Willnrd, after argument, re? fused tho injunction. DISSATISFIED.-According to notice published in the PHONIX, a meeting of dissatisfied Republicans was held yester? day, for the purpose of denouncing tho nominations for County officers for Rich? land, made at a meeting held in tho Court House, on tho 22d aud 23d July. The stand-erected in Sidney Park-was occupied altogether by colored men. Several whito Republicans were scattered among the crowd. Tho meeting was called to order, when addresses were de? livered by the following persons-all co? lored: Robert Trice, Rev. D. Pickett, Groek Avery, Rov. James Goodwyn, (from tho fork,) Adam Johnson, J. T. Gilmore, H. Dobbins, C. Wilder and others. H. N. Purvis, Representative from Loxington, mounted tho stand, and attemptod to stem tho current, in a spi? rited address; but was frequently inter? rupted, and warned to desist. The address by tho Rev. Pickett was a most excellent ono and met with a hearty re? sponso. It is understood that ho is a candidate for Senator, in opposition to tho present incumbent, Beverly Nash. Rev. Goodwyn gavo his hearers somo solid advice, in plain language. Tho Re? publican Band was in attendance, and discoursed lively airs. A convention was called for tho 15th August, when tho dis? affected will mako their nominations. RELIGIOUS SERVICES THIS D*AY.-Tri? nity Church-Rev. P. J. ?hand, Rector, 10).j A. M. and 5}., P. M.

Mr. Justice Willard, on Friday, deli? vered au elaborate opinion in tho phos? phate cases, holdiug that the phosphates in the beds of navigable streams aro the property of the State, and can only be dug and mined by those having a grant or liceuso therefor from tho Stato.
