COLUMBIA, S. C. Saturday Mornine, September 3,1870. Political Organization and Political Aisorilon Necessary. ' We notice that in many of the Coun? ties of the State tho work of Reform Club organization has been carried on with commendable promptness. Hut it is not so everywhere. Wo desire briefly to impress upon our political friends tho obvious duty of this thorough Organiza? tion. No victory at tho polls eau bc ex? pected without the employment of this means. All who ore working for a re? form in our public u flairs must baud together, form clubs, assert their princi? ples, advocate them, make public opin? ion, arouse euergy, aud cuthu-nasm, aud thus pave tho way for a generous rally at the ballot box. We do need, und sadly need a chango in this State, and tho duties which de? cent citizenship impress upou us should be performed. That mau has au influ? ence in his day aud generation who is characterized by a bold and mauly sulf assertion. The Reformists of this State-those men of South Carolina who have re? solved that tho State shall live and not die-let these assert themselves, their influence and their power, aud they will place themselves in the path that leads to victory. Wm's Horrors. Those, says the London Times, who eau detach their miuds from particular incidents of war to contemplate its pro? gress as a whole must acknowledge tho strange and, we may almost say, terrible fascination of the spectacle. Take the map of France and mark upou it the course of the advancing army during the past week. Steadily and surely tho dark blue columns have Btolen onward, cover? ing, piece by piece, the Eastern depart? ments, and pushing their way into tho heart of Franco. The whole army has moved with the unity of a single being. Without noise, without haste, but with? out halting for a moment, it hus ap? peared resolute to accomplish a precon? ceived design. Wo see in thc character of the advauce evideuco of the attack, attested to us by many other proofs, that the plan of the oampaigu was set? tled before a hostile column had entered I upon French territory, for it bears iu | every step of its progress tho impress of i a singlo mind. The efieet is enhanced j by the contrast presented by the armies of the defence. Ever since the begin-1 uiug of the war their movements havo been distracted, their attempts purpose leas, and their efforts consequently inef? fectual. Other nations may show their lines of blue aud red moving with more than machine-like regularity and force. The Organization of the German nrmy goes far beyond this. "Iufautry to per? forate tho foo, artillery to smash him, cavalry to lacerate bim, and at the same time the Brethren of Help, bearing tho red and white cross of neutrality, to drug him from the field ol death, Sisters of Mercy to tend him, doctors to cure, priests to comfort his soul, all follow, each in its appropriate order. There is even u corps of grave-diggers, who aro under command, and serve in their ap? pointed fuuetious, burying what were friends aud toes, but have become recon? ciled in death, and-so mus the inscrip? tion on the heights of Forbach, as in the orchards of Sadowa-'Buhen zusammen in GoU.'" No more awful implement of destruc? tion than tho Germau army has ever doue its dostiued work. It is the phy? sical force of a nation brought together and driven against the foo after such training and diseipliue, and with .such a ready concurrence of every mau in thc j array, that it acts as a single man would act nuder the volition of his heart and brain. Thc result is seen at largo in tho advance(from the Rhine to the Saar, from the" Saar to the Moselle, from the Moselle to tho Meuse; it may bo studied in detail on the heights of Spicheren and among tho viueyards of Woorth. Two regiments had exhausted themselves in assaulting the Spickler Berg, when the Fortieth advanced and scaled it at a cost of GOO mon aud 1G officers, while i tho Sixty-seventh sacrificed GOO mou and 25 officers in breaking iu upou the iu treuchmouts at Forbach. Thc work had to bc done and it was j done at no greater sacrifico than was nc- j cessary, but at any sacrifice that was ne? cessary, Tho ghastly spectacle after tho battlo of Woerth is described hy a well known correspondent, who, not unused in tho annals of war, says: "I have seen many fields, and tho moro I seo of them, tho less I like them." Along two miles of road lay tho trophies of death, and though thu service of burial was couti noasly kept up by thc companion of grave-diggers, the harvest had proved too heavy for the reapers. "There will, I fear," writes our correspondent, with too prophetic accuracy, "bo many more of such scenes and woree." Before tho campaign of 1S70 comes to a close, how quick soever the approach of tho end may be, the great destroyer will have laid low thousands moro of his victims. General Sheridan witnessed tho Into battle from King William's headquarters. Ho watched tho progress of events for sometime, and burst into tears. Tho crowd thought ho was tender-hearted, until he went up to Bismarck, and point? ing to a barn on the right, with a lot of women aud children looking out the loft, ho said: "Please scud a squad of sol? diers to burn that barn, and let me lead them. It would seem so homelike.' Tho request was not grunted. Cincinnati Lager, to bu had ut Por. l.oc K'S. Second Epistle to Pa?l. MK. EDITOR: Ia my last I promised to show that tho ticket designated by Mr. Paul, as tho regular Republican ticket, is nothing but a regular political sham, nominated principally by those whose names aro on it, not only without tho authority, but in direct contravention of the directions of the regularly countitut ed authorities of tho iiepublican party. I proceed to fulfil my pledge. In pursuance of resolutions adopted at a meeting of tho Republican State Central Committee, held in Columbia February 24, 1870, tho Republican Stato Executive Committee aunounced the following ns the programmo for the pro sent political campaign: That a conven? tion of delegates from tho diilbreut Counties iu tho Stato would meet at Co? lumbia on the 2Gth of July, for the pur? pose of nominating candidates for Go? vernor and Lieutenant-Govemor; and also to propose a platform or declaration of principles, aud to choose au execu? tive committee for the party. It next provided thnt conventions in ouch Congrossioual District should bo held after tho adjournment ot' tho State Conveutiou to nominate. Congressional candidates for tho United States House of Representatives. It next provided that conventions should bo held, after tho adjournment of tho State Conveutiou to nominato candi? dates to tho Genoral Assembly of thc State. This was the programme of the Re? publican party, as auuouuced by the supreme authority of the part}* in tho State, and was obligatory and binding upon nil subordinate authorities acknow? ledging its jurisdiction. Those who re? fusal thoir co-operation, or acted in a conflicting or contrary course were outsido thc party, or, in other words, BOLTERS. Aud yet, despito these pro ciso and positivo instructions, Mr. Paul and his brethren turned their delegates to tho Slate Convention, to be held on tho 20th of July, into a County Conven? tion, held it, on tho 22d aud 23d, aud nominated their County ticket, every name on which was a delegate to the couvention; or, in other words, nomi? nated themselves. Who are the Bolters? lu mv next I will show how it was doue. BEX BOLT. Tm: POPULATION or SAVANNAH.-The Savaunah JVeics reports that the Assist- j ant Marshals, appointed nuder tho Cen- j sus Act of Congress, have completed ! their labors, so far ar, the city is con- j cerned, and gives the following as the ' result : Tho city was divided, for the purpose of thc census, into three divisions or dis? tricts, numbering 20th, 21st and 22d. Tho populatiou thus reported by the Assistuut Marshals foot up as follows: 20th Sub-Division.12,325 21st Snb-Divisiou_(about)_ 8,000 22d Pub-Division. 7,020 Total.28,245 These figures fall far short of what was generally supposed to bo thc popu? lation of tho city. But the fact that a large proportion of tho negro popula? tion have forsaken thc insecure means of livelihood in a crowded city for more certain work ou the railroads, farms aud other remunerative employments in thc country-besides this causo, there is another, tho moveable nature of some dusses, from which many have been doubtless overlooked. We have heard ut several cases where residences have uot been visited at all. Summing up all these omissions, the population of Sa? vannah may"be placed at 30,000 souls. The,oldest inhabitant of the city is al negro woman, aged 102 years. Tun FRENCH EMPIRE.-The New York Herald remarks: Seriously, the French empire: ap? proaches its supremo moment, and Christendom looks on with breathless interest. Nothing is plainer than that thc heroism of the people and the sol? diery of France are still worthy of their old renown, but their leaders, thus far, have proven incapable. Could thc voice ot' another Carnot be heard for au hour throughout France, cheering and orga? nizing, and the sword of a second D?? mouliez or of a Moreau bo seen flushing through thc doilies of the Argonucs, with victory in every stroke, tho ease might still be reversed; and even as it is, while wo write these closing lines, iu thc very depth and extremity of her gloom we can detect the first shimmer ol' the star that, iu a day, may blaze forth to the deliverance of a land so often prostrated by hor princes and so often lifted to the pinnacle of glory by the sous of her peuple. POLITICAL TROUIILKS IN TEXAS A NOTUCK CIVIL WAR EXPECTED.-A let? ter received in Washington from Austin, Texas, states there is very good reason to expect trouble with the new State Go? vernment, which has organized an ex? ecutive pol ?co force iu u certain political i u ter cst. Already martial law has been declared in Waco, where, ou August 7th, something of a formidablo riot broke out between the whites and negroes, several being killed and wounded. Go? vernor Davis declares the inability of his j force to keep the peace, and threutous to apply to Congress for the restoration of thc State to military rule. Tho Con? servatives, on the other hand, say that all thu Insiblo arises from thc proposed iiAate police and armed colored militia. Ur. Connor, tho Democratic member of Congress, hus issued an address to his constituents douounciug tho Davis ad? ministration in tho bitterest terms. It is said that tho mitrailleuso is much tho same machine as that which inspired a Texas Ranger, at Atlanta, to ofter to stand off 100 yards aud let tho inventor turn the thiug loose on him for six weeks at &2.50 a day. Good Stables and Ostlers on the pre? mises of EXOAIINGF. HOUSE. A South CarollnaJProdlgal. That politics enlarges, in a not alto? gether satisfactory manner, the oirole of one's sleeping companions .is a truth whose recognition is attested by a very popular axiom. The latest and quito tho most remarkable illustration comes from our oxolusive and patrioian sister, South Carolina. A son of that becloud? ed commonwealth, eleven years a Demo? cratic representativo in Washington, an opponent of tho compromise measures of Mr. Clay, bocauso of their injustice to tho South, Democratic Spoakor of tho Thirty-fifth Congress, advocate of thc repeal of tho Missouri compromiso, member of tho South Carolina Secession Couvcntiou of 1S60, wltcu he voted to "go out boforo breakfast,"delegate from South Caroliua to Georgia, charged with the mission of iudueing the reluc? tant compatriots of Alexander Stephens to imitato tho precipituuey of their pal? metto brethren, one would reasonably have supposed that James Lawrence Orr, who did and was all these could safely have been relied upou to illustrate his declining years with a brave endur? ance of tho evils he suffers as a citizen, without ono instaut's abatement of his hostility to the tyruunus hands which inflict them. Aud even though not compounded of that heroic stuff which originates forti? tude, thc times wero auspicious for his perseverance iu well-doing. For at tho same moment, in the State next to him iu position, and nearest iu name and blood, a drama wus in performance wherein were well and successfully illus? trated all tho Spartau virtues it would have bcon so fortunato for him to pos? sess, or so becoming to assumo. A gul lant community ground down under the civil brutality of Holden nod Pearson, aud tho military brutality of Grant aud Kirk, thoir own Government and that of tho United States ngaiust thom, given over by both to a persecution so vile that a native brigand could not bo found ferocious enough to conduct it, und n professioal bandit-ono of tho puculinr fruits of radicalism never before hoard of ou this coutiuent-was imported fur tho purpose. Such a people, with no allies save their own stout hearts aud the justice of their cause, were, iu the very eyes of Mr. .Tames Lawrence Orr, win? ning the fight of freedom and sealing thu fate of North Carolina radicalism and rapacity-forever, let us hope. Amid the hozannas with which this vic? tory of a just law over a veual judge, a true people over a falso government, honest citizens over a miscreant party was hailed throughout thc land, ono dis? cordant piping alone vexed tho common ear. Thc telegraph announced that tho party of Kirk nud Holdcu had lost a State, but wou a vote. North Carolina was indeed gone, but Janies L. Orr was saved. If this were all, thc world might have pass? ed tho incident as simply auothcr of those compensations of nature, whereby the world's balance is preserved; but this was not all. Tho penitent prodigal thought it necessary to publish tho rea? son of his return; aud such a reason! No remorso at his crimes, no regret at his course, no longing for thc shelter of the paterual bowers or tho consolations of the paterual bosom, no desire to repair his waywardness or redeem his lost op? portunities. Nothing of all this; but with an ingenuous candor which deserves memorial brass in these days of delu? sions, he smites his empty epigastrium, lifts np his voice aud cries out: "There aro only husks where I am; but there's a fatted ealf where \ am going." For five years, quoth ho, I have been vaiuly seeking rich fields and green pas? tures; for live years, I huvo been vaiuly hunting those public perquisites and per dicms whercou I have futtoued from callow youth to age's verge; for five years, I have found no profit in princi? ple, consistency and right. I can staud the husks no louger. The Republican party, it is evident, is going to rulo South Carolina for many years to come, aud I proposo to step aboard. If you poor Democrats, without my aid and despite my opposition, eau restore law, and liborty, and a respectable adminis? tration to South Caroliua-iu a word, if you can get a decided majority, you may rely confidently on my return, so don't rent out my room if you please! Au revoir. Tho public will await with impatience the auuouucoment of tho consideration. [Hielt mond Enquirer. Is IT AN AWFUL MISTAKE?-It seems that Governor Orr, of South Carolina, is likely to bo repudiated by his old fricuds. Tho Anderson Intelligencer, the Iveowco Courier, tho Abbeville Press and Banner, tho Greenville Enterprise, the Laurensvillo Herald, to say nothiug of other journals moro removed from the seat of Judgo Orr's supposed strength, all repudiate his recent letter and its ex? traordinary sentiments. Thc Columbia PIKENIX says: "Tho people that formerly stood by Judgo Orr stand by him no lougcr. Ilia political iufiueuco in tho up-country is gone." Governor Orr ap? pears to have made an awful mistake in this business, so far ns his personal popularity and friendships aro concerned, lint how for it will affect his political interests remains to bo seen. [New York Herald. FOOLISH FEATS.-There is nothiug particularly gratifying in tho bare fact of John Davidson having walked 105 consecutivo hours in Quiucy, Illinois, without food or sleep. Rut it is refresh? ing to learu that paralysis sot in imme? diately after tho completion of his task, and that, in all probability, he will nover walk agaiu. It seems rather heartless to laugh at a fool when ho is overtaken iu his folly, but if tho attention of tho pub? lic is thereby attracted to tho criminality of such abuses of nature, it may doter imitators from following in tho footsteps of Davidson. - Cincinnati Enquirer. Genuine Baker Bitters, to be had at POLLOCK'S. LET Us HAVE LIGHT.-A fatal apathy seems to havo fallon upon the people. Has tho press dono its duty in bringing before thom in facts and figures the true condition of tho country. We aro afraid not. Do tho tax-payers know what an expensive establishment thoy aro keeping up in tho way of a govorumont? Do thoy know that the County is now charged with all its espouses; that every pitiful brawl, disturbance, arrest, disputo and law-suit is charged to tho country. The nulla bona costs (and nearly all tho costs will bo nullit bona under our present offi? cials) aro charged to tho County-tho roads, bridges, femes, public buildings, jurors, witnesses, aro all put upou tho County. Then we have auditors, asses? sors, treasurers, school commissioners, County commissioners, election commis? sioners, constabularies, detectives, spies and pimps, of all sorts, who swell tbc amount by thousands. No people in tho world can stand such a drain long. Our resources arc being steadily sapped by tho vampires who are now in office. We will not feel its full weight until their credit bogius to get below par, and then we will bo taught tho beauties of taxation with a ven? geance.- Union limes. A CURIOUS COMPARISON.-Tho num? bers culisted in thc present war, by tho way, aro curiously suggestive of tho fact that the world is getting no better fast when compared with tho number engaged in former European wars. At Marengo (1800) there were 28,000 French and 30,000 Austrians; 13,000 killed or wounded. At Austerlitz, 00,000 French, 80,000 Austrians and Russians; 23,000 killed or wounded. At Jena, 100,000 French, 100,000 Prus? sians; 34,000 killed or wounded. At Wagrani, 150,000 French, 130,000 Austrians; 24,000 killed or wounded. At Borodino, 125,000 Frcuch, 125,000 Russians; 80,000 killed or wounded. At Leipzig, 200,000 French, 280,000 allies; 50,000 killed or wounded. At Waterloo, 70,000 French, r-0,000 English; 15,000 killed or wounded. At Solferiuo, 135,000 French and Sardinians, 130,000 Austrians; 27,000 killed or wounded. At Kouigsratz, 200,000 Prussians, 200,000 Austrians and Saxons; 23,000 killed or wounded. THE FRENCH AND PRUSSIAN ARMIES. In the present war there arc already eu gaged 800,000, of which the majority by 50,000 or more arc on tho Prussian side. At this moment Prussia has very nearly a 1,000,000 available (armed) men, including garrisons, ?ec, and uo doubt France can, under stress, get nearly the same number. But unquestionably tho ' late Prussian conquests have made Prussia a more round 40,000,000 of population than Franco. BISHOP LYNCH IN WILLIAMSBURG, NEW YORK-AN APPEAL FOR PECUNIARY AID. Thc New York .b'?/i, of Monday, the 20th iust., says: Yesterday, at the half-past 10 o'clock High Mass, the Church of Saints Peter aud Paid, iu Williamsburg, was filled to its fullest capacity. Thc announcement which had boen mado by tho esteemed pastor, the Rev. S. Malone, that Bishop Lynch, of Charleston, would deliver a sermon in behalf of his diocese, which is in great waut, drew together this largo assembly. Thc mass was begun by the Reverend Bishop, who, after reciting the Kyrie Eleison, retired. Thc Rev. F. Campbell, tho assistant pastor, thou ascended the altar and officiated until tho reading of tho last Gospel, when again tho Rev. Bishop intoned the benediction, and be? stowed his blessing upon thc kneeling congregation. During the matts, after tho celebrant had read thc Gospel of tho day, Bishop Lynch ascended the altar. Ile spoke iu feeling terms of tho kindness of Father Maloue, who had invited him to speak in Sts. Peter aud Paul. After eloquent? ly describiug tho troubles aud final suc? cess iu laying thc deep and broad foun? dations of tho Catholic religion in thc diocese of Charleston, by tho Right Re? verend John England, first Bishop of Charleston, who, from being Parish Priest of Bantry, Ireland, was raised to this exalted yet arduous position by the Holy Pontiff, Pius tho Seventh, tho eloquent speaker called upon his hearers to assist him, thc third Bishop, uow that ago was beginning to eufoeblo him. His was a hard task, but thc work had to bo done. To him was thc rebuilding of thc diocese of Charles? ton entrusted. Tho beautiful structure of Catholicism, which took forty years to unfold, had been destroyed. Ou overy sido were thc ruins of God's tem? ples. From every sido arose tho cries of widows and orphans. To you, said the venerable father, 1 look, from you I ex? pect succor. On my succession to tho episcopacy, I did but havo to pluck thc fruits of others' labors; now how chang? ed! Tho thought of tho terrible re? sponsibility which rests upon meat times almost unmans me. What can I do? To God and you, my Christian friends, I appeal for assistance. Givo of your means that I may rear temples and schools for my poor flock; that I may comfort tho widow, and hush the cries of tho orphans; that again my priests may bo enabled to minister to tho wants of tho people; remembering tho words of our Saviour, "Blessed is him that gives, aud him that receives." This touching appeal was nobly an? swered by a largo contribution.
