u?^SStSSSS , ' ' r'Tl ll"1'"r' COLUMBIA, S. C. -:-,> ? -:-T---T jonday morning, Aogait 7? 1870. ? How St Ami s iho OouorQl Government Now-.V National Convention Demantl ' .ea. >.' . The question-how at ands the General G o vorn m out now?-is one that demands { attention. B}is>question . that, rising | above PARTS', claims the consideration of every citizen of these United States, in? terested in the public wo I faro and the public liberties. There were two olasaes of opinions that prevailed in tho ranks of the founders' of this Government. The Southern view, upheld by Calhonn & Co., was that each State has the power to construe the . Constitution for itself in the last resort. The Northern view, upheld by Webster & Co., was that the Supreme Court is the arbiter of any political disputes between the States -and the Federal Government, or between State and State. Neither of these doc? trines now practically prevails. In their alead, the do ot ri no of "an infallible ma? jority" is impressed npon thc action of the Government, ard the spirit of "po jpular unification," or of centralization, usurps the place of tho spirit of local self-government The monarchist held . that the KINO could do no wrong, sud -this sanctioned unlimited tyranny. The ?American radical or "Republican" holds that the MAJORITY can do no wrong, and this sanotions popular excesses and ut? terly ignores the rights and interests of minorities. The Old World has suf? fered from the despotism of Kings aud Emperors. The New World ?B suffering from the despotism of numbers. In the one case, the minority trampled upon the rights and interests of the majority. In the other case, the majority are tram? pling upon the rights and interests oi the minority. In neither case, is good and permanent government possible. lu neither ease, can tho general good bc promoted. In neither case, does go? vernment perform its proper functions. We repeatit, howdowestand governmen? tally in these United States? If ucithei the Calhoun nor the Websterian theory of the Government is accepted-if ir lieu thereof, we have an imperial majo? rity which, through Congress, under takes to represent the national will and to reflect the national sovereignty-if thc *'State phase of government" has yieldec to "the supreme rule of numbers," whe will deny that it is time for our peo pie, all through this broad laud, to re view their course and consider theil bearings? Certainly, we do not staue upon n rock. Certain it is, that wo an living under a government with power; and limitations vague and ill-defined The power of numbers has virtually taken control of every department of th) Government. This state of things eau not endure consistently with thc publi< interests. Even if the Statehood of thc State! has passed away-even if the country i: not yet ready for the resurrection o State rights, or to its return from exile even if the rights of minorities cauno now be protected by the medium o State interposition-is it not obviou that even, with the prevalence of majo rity rule, somo provision for the protec tion of minorities, should be introduce into tho fundamental laws of the land Certain it is, that we need a graud Con vention of the country, to consider ho\ wo stand and to re-establish on a fire foundation the edifice of Constitutional well-regulated LIBERTY. The Ship o State is now sailing on with a drunkei crew. Our Falinurus is an idle smoke at Long Branch. It is time for the pee pie of the laud-tho passengers and prc prietors on board-to cast out the anche and hold a solemn nieetiug to take cout sel together. In tho field of American journalisa our voice must be comparatively unii flueutial and restricted in its rango au reach, but overlooking for a moment tb evils of local misrule and local outrage the evils of sectional wrongs-we invil tho influential journals of tho country of all shades of politics, to uuito iu tl demand we make for a review and rev sion of tho fnndamoutal law of the lam in a broad and enlightened spirit. Li us move for a National Convention. DEUT AND TAXES OF CHARLESTON.- TL Charleston News has a statement of tl debt of that city, from which it appeal that in tho year 1871, the interest $309,232, and tho principal, falling dn and past due, is $335,154. Adding 1 these two sums only 8100,000 for tl current expenses of the city, which much less than the present expenditur the aggregate amount required in tl fiscal year 1871, is no less than $1,0-13 386. That is to say, tho tax to bo levit to pay tho principal and interest of tl debjt, will amount to about 2>? per cen of tho total value of nil the real and pe soual property in Charleston. Aud tl tax needed to pay, principal, interest ai current expenses, will be more thau foi per cent. Th.8 Progr?s? off tho Reform Movemmi. Oar State exchanges contain cheering ovidoneca of tho progres3 of. tho reform movement. Largo moe tin go b>jre been held at-r Spavtanburg, at Union Court HouBo/and at Fishdarn, ic addition to points alrendy alluded to in these co* lamns. Wo observe also that the peoplo. are moving in every Connty. The anti radical movement gathers strength as the timo rolls on. Truth is being elimi? nated. The present regime is subjected to scathing reviews. The speakers aro doing good work. Their efforts in the public behalf are worthy of all praise, and let ns hope that thoir labors will be re? warded with a triumph for the cause of good and honest government. Let the good people of Carolina everywhere rise and make an earnest effort to relievo our State from the inoubus that now re? presses her energies and obstructs her peace and prosperity. SENSATION WAR REPORTS.--The French account of the affair at Weissenburg makes out that it was- a small matter, as they report but a few troops engaged. The Prussians nre said to be 612,000 strong-the troops mostly on the Rhine. French claim that the dread milrail lettres are doing a fatal work against thoir foes. The people of America de? sire only the plain unvarnished truth from tho seat of war, aud have- no inte? rest to misrepresent cither side. It is to be regretted, therefore, that some of the New York papers, to which chiefly tho public look for information of tho pro? gress of tho two armies, should have placed in Jtxo field correspondents who ar? both partisan and partial. The Now York Tribune's correspondent, especially, evidently regards it as bis mission to writo down Napoleon and say nothing that is good of the French or their cause. His despatch from Saarbruck, 25*h ult., represents tho French nrmy as in "a starving condition" and forced to enter the Prussian territory in search of pota? toes, in order to keep thomsolves alive. With the war just begun and the French commissariat well supplied, everybody must know that this story is false and designed solely for effect. We observe that tho samo correspondent, speaking of the small number of Prussiau troops in Saarbruck for several days previous, which was doubtless unknown to the enemy, remarks that the placo was then (29th) well garrisouod, aud not so much at tho mercy of the French. A subse? quent press despatch announces its cap? ture. Commeuting on this subject, the Baltimore Sun says: The news ageut in England has tele? graphed a statement of tho London Baily News that Gen. Leo and Gen. Beaure? gard have applied for places iu tho French army. A person of ordinary ca? pacities of reflection, as tho agent trans? mitting news over the great Atlantic cable, especially in timo of war, ought to bo, would only have noticed auch a statement to show ifs ridiculous ab? surdity. The discovery of tho secret treaty by which Belgium was to be sacrificed for Napoleon's aggrandizement has directod thc atteution of the world to that coun? try. As matters now stand, both the French and Prussians have guaranteed the neutrality of Belgian soil; but the secret treaty has created so much un ea? siness, especially in England, that thc occupation of the country by tho latter power, as a guaranteo of its iutcgrity, is seriously mooted and by no means improbable, before the struggle between France and Prussia is ovor. Florida is thc ouly State that assumes a new coat of arms with reconstruction. Her old seal was a spread eagle with ar? rows in its claws. Tho new is described as having in the centre a view of tho sun's rays over tho highland in the dis? tance, a cocoa tree, a steamboat on wa? ter, and an' Indian female scattering flowers in tho foreground, this last ho? ing au allusion to the floral aspect of the country, to which tho State owes its name. The motto, as of old, is "In God we trust." - ? m ? ? The following appointments have been mado for Judge Carpenter and General Butler: Laurens, Saturday, August 13. Columbia, Tuesday, August 16.

' Tho Kew Tor? "{Th^ff'"]?B?pi?b.t?aa); usos the follo wing deprecatory lang o age ?n i&fe^enc^ to the ^oninivonoe. of the President- nfc tho proceedings of the Go? vernor of North Carolina io establishing martial law ovor'" a peaceable and law abiding community: ,;- ? : . "It is unfortunate that tho Governor, who has placed himself above the law, is nevertheless able to boast of tbe support of the Government of the United States. For what purpose are national troops sent into North Carolina? Infamous as Holden's orders aro, infamous as the conduct of bis minion Firk has beau, we have yet to hear of the first attempt at resistance to either. Thero' is martial law without an iusurrg^won-a great dis? play of military force to crush insur? gents who have no visible existence. Thero is no conceivable use for the Uuited States troops now in tho State, unless it bo to keep guard at the polls ou Thursday in tho interest of Holden. But are bayonets proper adjuncts of the ballot-box, even in North Carolina? Can President Grant have properly studied tho position in North Caroliua, when ho allowed Holden to mako United States soldiers the instruments of a cruel tyranny?" CHEERING FOR THE NORTH CAROLINIANS. Holden's organ at Haleigh gives this promiser": "After the election the Execu? tive will, if possible, be more active thnn he is now." It is hoped his activity will display itself in dangling at the end of a rope. The Baltimore Sun says: MILITARY. TORTURE OF CIVILIANS.-The Now York Tribune, of Monday, comments as follows upon tho accouut telegraphed from Haleigh ou Saturday of the hang? ing of a respectable citizen of Alamance, William Patton by name, three times, by Kirk's men, cutting him down each time, barely so as to Rave life, in order to make I him confess who murdered ono Outlaw, a colored man. Says the Tribune: "Wo have been warned of late by spe? cial telegram, as well as by former expe? riences, to put little faith in the reports from North Caroliua. But thero comes from Haleigh so circumstantial a state? ment of so horrible an outrage by the troops which maintain martial law in Alamance County, that it ought to bo at onco inquired into. To attempt to force a confession from a prisoner by hanging or other torture, is a relio of barbarism and slavery which not even martial law recognizes, and which the people of this country will not countenanco for an in? stant. We do not credit the story, but it ought to be inquired into and its truth or falsity established. If tho offence was committed, let the offenders be sent where they will havo opportunity in the future to serve their State in a better manner. If tho report is a lie, as we be? lieve it to be, let the slanderers bo hunt? ed down and made to suffer." Perhaps wo have a livelier recollection than the Tribune of tho methods usually adopted by military commissions in order to obtain evidence upon which to base thoir findings. In Georgia, not two years ago, when heaven and earth were being moved in order to fasten the death of Ashburnham, n radical member of thc Legislature, who was killed in a low haunt at Atlanta, upon some of the most respectable young men of the State, tho identical expedients wero re? sorted to to obtain testimony to warrant their conviction which tho Tribune now so iudiguautly condemns-and that, too, under the authority of officers of tho regular army, or with their connivance. Colored men, who were held as witnesses iu Foit Pulaski, were confined iu sweat boxes, aud subjected to all sorts of ordeals calculated to mako them confess anything their torturers wanted to draw out of them. One, we remember, after? wards published a sworn statement of the cruelties inflicted upon him. Among other things he was blind-folded and placed in front of one ot tho large guns in a casemate of the fort, with a soldier standing by with a lighted linstock in bis hand, the bandage then soddenly re? moved from his eyes, and he was threat? ened with instant death, by being blown from the mouth of tho guu, uuless he confessed all ho know-which happened to be just nothing nt all. In the famous, or rather infamous trials by military commission in Washington City, in the spring of 1865, the samo "relics of barbarism" were witnessed, such us the hooding of prisoners, loading them with fettors, and resorting to every means of I intimidation, in order to oxtort n confes? sion which might implicate now parties in the assassination of Mr. Lincoln. THE ENGLISH ARMY.-It is important to notice fhatthe statements lately made concorning the military force which Great Britain could placo in the field aro ux ire nu ly inaccurate. It is assorted that her army consists of 60,000 men, where? as tho total force of tho United King? dom, on a peace footing, consists of 127, 33G meu, exclusive of nearly 200,000 volunteers. Tho total strength of tho British forces, nt homo aud abroad, again excluding volunteers, is 201,158. Combined with the English fleet, this represents n strength quite adequate to the defence of Belgium. Gen. Butler's strabismus has again served him a bad turu. Ho succeeded iu ouo of his "Amos" at a son-in-law; but tho other brought him into a scrape. Adalbert calls him papa, but Horatio in? timates that ho is a robber, and sues him under that conviction. Ah! Benja? min! Benjamin! if you would bo truly happy in future, wo ohargo you fling away ambition, and let all tho Ames thou end'st at bo thy country's, thy God's, and truth's. The first national bank to issue gold notes, as per tho provisions of the recent Act of Congress, will be established in Boston, on tho application of tho bank? ing bouse of Messrs. Kidder, Peabody Sc Co., of that city. They will have a capital of $300,000. ..WHAT'S m A NAME?"-B. H. Butler, Cangrecoman from Tennessee, came very near being expelled lost -winter for sell* ing a cadetsmp, and would have been expelled bat'for his radical politics. Ho to now charged with f rand in ob faining pensione, and a despatch says "the Com? missioner of Pensions nos no doubt of bis guilt," So much for Bhoderiok. And now think of Ben. of the same sur? name! A Memphis negro was arrested for beating his wife, aud when released, he WOJJ^ to tho house where his wife had taken refuge and killed the lady of the house, and then, having his hand in, killed his wife. Beiug his first offence of tho kind, his eccentric conduct has been overlooked, because the sheriff can't find him. In Tazoo County, Miss., tho other day, Mr. Patrick McCormick, whilo digging a well, struck a current of foul air at tho depth of forty feet, and was hauled up. A negro then went down after some im? plement which had been left, but gave the signal to be drawn up immediately. When near tho surface ho fell from the bucket, and could not be saved. Havana correspondence gives the se? quel to the famous Ovidco-Bartlett dia? mond wedding. Tho Senor died leaving no will, and his American widow gets nearly a million dollars, while three mil? lion is divided among his forty-four chil? dren, most of them illegitimate and free persons of color. The extensive establishment of Carey, Lincoln it Co., dealers in millinery goods, Chestnut street, abovo Seventh, adjoin? ing Masonic Hall, Philadelphia, was burned out Wednesday evening. The stock was entirely destroyed by fire and water. Thc building was not much damaged. It is recommended iu different quar? ters that some of our fast frigates be em? ployed by Government to carry the United States mails to aud from Europe, as, while thus employed, they could do duty as cruisers, while they were useful as common carriers. Near ?Mitchellville, Iowa, a few days ago, Willie Biery, while bathing in the Skunk Uiver, became entangled in thc quicksand, got beyond his depth, and his father attempting to rescue him, both were drowned. Miss Ida Toale, of Speucertown, New York, was fooling around a red-hot stove with a can of keroseueiu her baud, when tho boat went up the spout, exploding the can aud sending Ida up tho spout likewise. Tho destruction of the Freuch railway at Bitsch is complete. The viaduct was blown up. The movement was extreme? ly important. The line runs from For bach and Sarreguemines to Haguenan, thence to Strasbourg. Miss Edua Howard, a temperance lady, says she prefers straight whiskey to wines or malt liquors, os "au open ene? my is bettor than one in disguise." The Laurens train rau (or crawled) off the track, near Clinton, on Tuesday last. The conductor and several passengers wcro iujured.

JAMES REESE, July 27 JAMES THOMPSON. X^OOAI Items THE REFORM GAMPA?ON,-Yesterday afternoon, th? campaig?oraof tho Union Roforra party-cousis til) g of Judge R. % Carpenter, Gen. M. C. Butler, Col. Thoa. Y. Simons; J.. A. Moroso, Esq., (of the Charleston Courier,) nnd F. D. Lee, Esq., (of tho Neus)-arrived in the city. We learn from ono of the gent?o meo, tbat the success of the party in the mountain Counties exceeded their most sanguine expectations. At every place they visited, they were welcomed with open ara:s, and their meetings in every instance largely attended. The speakers will take a rest until Tuesday next, at which time they address tho citizens of Lexington County. We hope there will bo a fall gathering of the Lexingtoninns. CRUMBS.-The attention of our Jewish friends is called to a notice published in this morniug's PHOENIX, for a meeting in Independent Ball, this evening. As the weather is exceedingly warm, young gentlemen attending church this evening, are requested not to fan their flames. A friend says that Napoleon is deter miud to make his mark in this war, and that ho means "biz." That New Haveu mau who fixed up a tub in which to cool himself off in his well, having tested its contrivance, says he'll "devcr cowdcil dobody to susped hibself dowd a well!" We suspect he's not so well as he was. Remember the barbecue, to-morrow, at Hampton's. Tho trains will leave tho South Carolina depot, at 8 and 12 pre? cisely. The rates of board at the Greeubrier White Sulphur Springs have been ma? terially reduced-$3 per day, or $20 per week. One of our lady correspondents says that if Napoleon goes to Berlin, it will undoubtedly be to get worsted. In New York, corns have come to be I "sebaceous excrescences." No wonder eyes sometimes look plead? ing and sorrowful; they are under the "lash" all the time. An ingenious trick has receutly come to light, by which ten five dollars bills uro manufactured out of nine, with but one pasting to each of tho manufactured notes, and that in different parts of each note, and each note minus one-tenth of itself. Be careful. The Department will not redeem a bill which bears evi? dence on its face that it has been tam? pered with. Representative Purvis has been ap? pointed Assistant Assessor, vice Dr. J. F. Eusor, trausferrcd to the Luuatic Asy? lum. The news from North Carolina gives us reason to believo that tho auti-radicalists have carried tho day-or at least mado important gaius. Dr. Irving has broken grouud ou Main street, opposite the Columbia Hotel-preparatory to tho erection of a handsome brick edifice. The two-story brick buildings of Messrs. Bates and Stork, on Main street, below the "mar? ket corner," aro rapidly advancing to? wards completion. The Winnsboro Neics contains the po? litico-agricultural address of that out? spoken and working citizen of Fairfield, Major T. W. Woodward, wherein the Major gives, in his strong, direct lan? guage, his views at once of agricultural matters and matters political. His re? marks aro worthy of consideration by those to whom they are addressed. Messrs. Armstrong, Cator Sc Co., of the well-known Baltimore millinery houso, issue their regular semi-annual manifesto, this morning. Read it, in? terested parties. Tho offending cadets at West Point have had their trial for ill-treating their colored brother, and been sentenced to be "reprimanded." Tho fortune-teller's oraclo states that tho man born iu the month of August will bo ambitious and courageous. Ho will have two wives. Tho lady will be amiable and twico married, but her se? cond husband will cause her to regret tho first. Tho mitrailleur, liko tho chasscpot at Mentana, "has done wonders at Saar? br?cken." Tho Emperor personally di? rected tho little experiments mado with it. A detachment of Prussians was seen at a distanco of 1,000 metres; tho han? dle was turned, and half tho detachment fled, leaving tho other half in that peace which cannot bc brokon either by chasse pot or needle-gun. State Printer Denny hung "his ban? ner on tho outer wall," yesterday; or rather suspended il across Main stroot, opposito his printing office. It proclaims Scott and Rausier as his choice for Go? vernor and Lieutonant-Govornor. A prisoner in the Wisconsin Peniten? tiary writes to tho Governor for a pardon, stating that he "is a Republican, and always was." What's the uso of confess? ing to such a crime when there is no proof 'against him, only the fact of his being in there? A- WOB? iflg^BEAtrnr's EAR.-It i* doubtless a fino 'thia g tobe a handsome young woman, with a liberal pa, am nothing to do bat to oat, sleep, dress, and amnse one's self with making A set of chimes composed of the hollow heads of admirers and haugers-on; but un? fortunately this delightful state of affairs may possibly come to an end. The financial parent may decease, and the men get tired of having a belle's favorite airs played upon the aforesaid chimes, composed of their skulls, and the sceptre of the reigning beauty be laid as low as tho smirk of that social cripple, the wall-flower. So it behooves her who, in the "insolence of beauty," "piles that grouud Moslem slain," to bear in mind that Timo "is no respecter of persons," aud that ?charms of person, unaccompa? nied by moro lasting qualities, will not always carry the day, and that men's hearts are uot uine-pius, which are to be continually set up for them to knock dowu.
