COLUMBIA, S. C. Sunday Morning, September 4,1870, TH? Political. Situation. Practical, commou-senco peoplo usually achieve results through praotioal, com inon-senso mensuras. They do not ex? pect to gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles, nor do they believe that the longest way round is invariably the shortest way home. As pertinent to this issue, we take it for granted that tho necessity of a complete ohango in the management of our public affairs has become apparent to all. Radicalism, so called, has played its disgusting part, to the utter demoralization of its agents and the utter prostration of the best in? terests of the country. Except among those who profit by its corruption, it can find none so poor as to do it rever? ence. Born of confusion and interne? cine strife, nursed at the pap of fraud, fostered by irresponsible and arbitrary authority, it now approaobes a felon's end with a felon's impertinence. The verdict;' pf popular condemnation has been written on the walls of the Nation's Honso of Life, and tho judgment is re? corded in that red-leafed book-tho peo? ple's heart-never to be erased. In T?CW of the consummation, so de? voutly to be wished, the people of each State will be compelled to toko a com? mon-sense view of their circumstances and surroundings, and plan tho ap? proaching campaign with an intelligent recognition of- all the advantages and disadvantages of the situation. There most be no attempt to ignore existing laws, or to deprive any man of rights recognized by constitutional provisions. Bringing the matter homo to ourselves, the first and most vital demand made upon us, as a self-governing peoplo, is to redeem the. State. Every mau who has property to be preserved from tho rapacity of the plunderer, and to whom the pursuit of happiness is not an en? tirely abandoned dream, is interested in driving out from their strongholds of security the political adventurers who have fastened themselves as vampires on the State, to eat away its substance, and have mocked our people in their calamity with the severe scorn of spoil-loving and spoil-holding conquerors. To the citizens of Columbia and South Carolina, plunderers at homo are far more to be. dreaded than plunderers at Washington. Our local taxes are heavier than our Federal taxes, and for our own local shortcomings we are moro directly responsible, both in purso and feeling, than for those which we suffer iu com? mon with all the rest of the sovereigu people of the United States-the proprie? tors and rulers of a "boundless conti? nent." As preliminary to attending to the necessities of the Nation's House of Life, let us see to it that our own house is set in order-that all rodent intruders are driven from larder and ki token, from store-house and sink, and an odor of de? cency and propriety is again established in that dearest of all places-homo. To do this would bo comparatively easy if all who aro interested in bringing about so desirable a result could bo induced to work harmoniously together. Disturbing elements must be thrust aside, if we wish to secure that union whioh is strength. Tho anti-nigger, Quixotic wurfare against dead issues and settled results, which sectional Hotspurs . are so prone to engage in, is not only useless but suicidal, and must conse? quently be frowned down. Wo must ungrudgingly give the negro ult his moral, political and legal rights, or wo cannot expect that co-operatiou on whioh alone victory may be safely pre diotatcd. His interest in a faithful and economical administration of our public trusts, and an honest collection and dis? bursement cf necessary taxes, is as great, in a moral and political point of view, os that of any other citizen. Let him, then, bo invited to join in a holy effort to maintain those principles of unadul? terated Republicanism which properly attach to legitimate self-government. Honesty and capacity in public ofllcers, whether State or municipal, aro quite as essential to his well-being as they aro to the well-being of tho white men. In this, we are all bound together in a com? munity of interest which entirely over? rides tho smaller problems of fashion or of caste. To be a successful community, we must seoure prosperity on such terniB aa it can be best maintained; we must sbow an equivalent for taxes levied; make lifo and property seoure, and give a reasonable encouragement to art, in? dustry and oommorce. When the proper determination is evinced by an organization of proper appliances, tho road to a local victory will then be clear. After that, the larger national issues, which demand an intel? ligent solution at tho next Presidential campaign, may bo studied and arranged. Wo must meet the anti-radicals of the i i * Well as State reforms, ina g?nerons spirit of accommodation and concession. The strategy involved must be no Janus faced affair, with, one set of eyes looking to the North and another to the South, bot a comprehensive, All-embracing plan, founded oh tho true base of enlightened self-govornmont. By such signs we alone eau conquer. Fourth. Kplatle to Paul. Mn. EDITOK: In my last I promised to inform my young friend Paul, who thoughtlessly pormits himself to bo used as tho monkey used the cat, to pull tho chesnuts out of the fire, lo show here what ho calls tho regular ticket was evoked from the Convention of the 23d and 24th July. But it will be better to devote an epistle to an illustration of its materials, before we proceed to tho man? ner in which they wero manipulated. As a specimen brick, then, of this puissant body, wo will solect thc delegation from tho Camp Ground precinct, about twelve miles from Columbia. I state this upon the authority of a gentleman of elevated character, resident in the neighborhood, an influential Republican, and a mau whose word or his bond needs no endor? ser. Having consulted with tho Repub? licans of the vicinity, ho informed one of the leadors of the Bing, in Columbia, that they proposed holding their meet? ing at the Camp Ground precinct, for the selection of delegates to the Stale Convention on the succeeding Saturday. This was approved of by the individual addressed, who promised that a party would attend from this city, accompanied by speakers, musio, &o. This was sup? posed to be the definite arrangement. But two days previous to the time designated my informant, whilo riding to the city, met a party of individuals, among whom were those whose names are now on the so-called regular ticket for Representatives in tho Legislature, and ono other who expected to bo, who were evidently making their way to tho Camp Ground. He was subsequently informed by one of the parties that on that occasion they had selected eight in? dividuals to represent tho precinct in tho Convention, and ho ascertained after? wards that tho impression prevailed thut theso political missionaries were acting under tho authority of Council No. 10. Theso gentlemen, thus authorized, ap? peared with these credentials at tho Coun? ty Convention, and were received into full communion, and voted in tho form? ation of what is claimed as tho regular ticket and there is little doubt that every precinot in tho county, except Colum? bia and Gadsden, were represented iu a similar manner and by similar authority. But enough for this epistle. BEN BOLT. EDITOR PBXEXIX: The Republican has a perfect horror of the old South Caro? lina aristocracy, except in a caso where a membor of the former aristocratic class of tho Stato happens to afliiliute with thu radical party, in which caso, tho uow cou? vert to radicalism is, as a little ?V? year old of my acquaintance would express it, "buuky boody." It is greatly elated at tho political situation iu Spartanburg, as represented by a correspondent from that County who takes cognomen from I tho tail of the Groek alphabet. Spartan ; burg is to give a majority of 1,500 votes for Scott und Hausier, which event is unmistakably foreshadowed by the fact that General Winsmith hus given in his ndhcsiou to that ticket. Now, who is this General Winsmith? Why, sir, if tho soil of tho Palmetto Stato ever gave birth to au aristocrat, ho is un aristocrat of tho first water. Tho sou of one who was a Judge of this Stato - wheu to be a member of the Judiciary of the Stato meant some? thing worthy of tho aspiration of the State's most gifted sons-this Geno ral ' Winsmith repudiated tho name which ho inherited from his noble sire, and which that siro had never dishonor? ed, fur the simple reason, doubtless, that tho name was too pleubian-like, and pe tioned to tho Legislature for tho pnvi lego to consolidate two of tho names which his father had conferred upon him, and thus make his name Wiusmith, I instead of simply Smith, that name of ple biau caste and un poetic sou nc/. Now, sir, I am not finding fault with tho general, (won? der what brigade, division or corps ho commauded in tho lato unpleasantness?) for changing his name, for ho hud a per? fect right to do so, after tho Legislature I gavo him permission; but I am simply stating the fact, to show what tho gene? ral is in feeling, in order that tho public may seo that the Republican does uot object to aristocracy always, provided the aristocrat does not happen to bo uh ' opponent of radicalism. Who will sup? pose for a moment that if ono of tho numerous John Smiths, with vhom the land abounds, had joined tho radical party tho Republican would havo said a word about it? Even had tho whole batch who wear that euphoneons cog? nomen joined that party, we should hardly have heard it from that organ of tho common people. But when Gcueral Winsmith, who is really only n Smith by another name, gives in his ndhesion, it is horalded forth under the heading of "good news from Spartan burg." The general wants a place "high up in Heaven," politically speaking; but whe? ther ho will really Win or not, is a mooted point. ALPHA. <-? ? ? The repudiation of Gov. Orr's course in South Carolina, is, we are proud to say, almost unanimous among the re? spectable white people. His theory that "the brigands aro ruling my Stato, there? fore, I will take my gnu and go out on the highway," is not calculated for tho South Carolina latitude. , [Richmond Examiner. Thought is tbs life of. brain, aa exer? cise is the life of the body. There can be no more such. thing as a healthy brain,- as to the mental i department, without thought, study, than there can bo a healthful body without exercise. Andras physical exercise preserves the body in health, so thought, which is the exercise of the brain, keeps it well. But hero the parallel ends; we may exercise, work too much, in the way of expressing ourselves, for both writing and talking aro a relief to the mind; they aro in a sonso its play; its diversion. Pent up thoughts may kill, os pent np steam wrecks tho locomotive. The expression of thought is liku working the steam from tho boiler. When clergymen break down, or public men, or professors in colleges or other literary institutions, get sick und dio, tho universal cry is "over study," "too much responsibility," "too much mental application." It is never so; not in a singlo caso siuco the world began; wo defy proof, and will open our pages to any authcutical case. If a man will give himself sleep enough, and will eat enough nutritious food at proper in? tervals, and will Kpeud two or three hours in tho opou air every day, he may study and work and writo, until he is as gray as a thousaud rats, aud will be still young in mental vigor and clearness. Where is the mau of renown who lived plainly, regularly, temperately, and died early ?-Hall's Journal of Health. NAMES OF PARTIES.-The Courier-Jour? nal, of Louisville, Ky., speaks os follows on the subject of party names iu Ten nesseo. It is a subject which has cause? lessly occasioned a good deal of talk ia our own State : "The newspaper controversy that is going on in Tennessee about party names need alarm uo one. It is the merest quibble, desigued to affect a cur? rent local organization, and of the least serious nod permanent portout. No one dreams of a third party, or of a Whig party, and nothing could be more anius ing than the epistles of those Old-liue Whigs who write as if there were such a danger. Teunossee is about as safe a I State as the Natiouul Democracy can lay claim to, and it is a matter of perfect in? difference to tbo party nt largo what the auti-Radical elements call themselves. Suppose they compromise tho quarrel aud unite upon the title of the Grand Carpet-Bag aud Scalawag Crushing Or? der of Free and Accepted Anti-Ku Klux ites." DEATH OF ROSBRI LEIIOY, Al. D.-At a lato hour last eveuing we heard of the death of Dr. Lebby, tho city registrar, who had for some timo past been ill with typhoid fever. Dr. Lebby was an old and well-known physician of our city. Ho was for some years a member of the City Couucil, aud took especial interest in tho artesian well and the construction of tho tidal drains, being, we believe, on both of tho committees appointed by Couucil to take charge of these two en? terprises. Previous to tho war bc had been a surgeon in tho Uuited States army, aud, ut tho timo of his death, was port physician for Charleston harbor. I Charleston News. Tho microscope shows tho oolor of tho j hair due to a deposition of pigmeut iu its substance. When the hair glands becomo enfeebled, this pigment fails. Ono after uuotber the hair becomes white, or full out, producing baldness. Baldness is easy to prevent bot hard to cure. AYER'S HAIR VIGOR stops it; even restores the hair sometimes; always re? stores its color. Immediate renovation is at coco visiblo; softness, freshness aud tho gloss of youth. This great ornament should bo preserved, since it can be by AYER'S HAIR VIOOR, which is beautifully cleau and free from anythiug injurious to tho hair. - Tribune, Springville, N. Y.

SOOTH CAROLINA ENTERPRISE-THE CYPRESS MANUFACTURING COMPANY. This company's operations are located at Georgetown. S. C. The business of the company is to make oypress shingles with an improved machine, and wo learn that the enterprise is full of promise to the parties concerned. Thomas E. Gregg, Esq., is the Presideut, and it was to give his personal attention to tho interests of thc compauy that he resign? ed his place in tho Savings Bank. Tho The superintendent is our former towns? man Col. L. P. Miller. POOXIXIANA. - "Ben Bolt" in his epis? tles to Paul strikes home. Wo look on -it is no affair of ours-but it does look as if "Bon Bolt" had put himself on "tho picket line" and intends to stay there for "four years"-if necessary. He shows that if ho is a "Bolt," ho is no "Bolter." Tho telegrams on yesterday killed Na? poleon aud made King William mad. Without affirming that thc cabio lies, it is certainly "conspicuously inexact." Before reaching California, Artemus Ward directed his assistant to get some of his posters ready to nail on to tho posls of the "Golden Gates" as they passed through. This was Artemus Wurd's unique ad? vertisement: "Artemus Ward's Wax Wurks 3 moral Bares Kangaroo & Grato Snaix." Artemus Ward in New York was tele? graphed to from California, by a theatri? cal manager, who wanted to engage him as a lecturer-"What will you take for forty nights iu California?" He answer? ed-"Braudy and water." In San Francisco ho was urged to ac cept an invitation to dinner, but upon his explaining that his trunk had not yet arrived aud that he was net sufficient? ly well dressed, tho gentleman replied, "Never mind, it doesn't matter what you wear in Califoruia. " "That's fortunate," replied the go uial showman, "I ucver was much." After a visit to Utah, ho proposed to lecturo on the Mormons. His compli meutary cards of admission contained the following: "Artemus Ward Among the Mormons. Admit (he Bearer and one Wife." So much for a few of A. Ward's jokes. Alas, "poor Yorick," he is dead now. Of the two radical tickets for County officers in Richland, it can't bo denied that tho oue has moro Heart in it than the other. A cool fight in Columbia: The Teuton rs. the Celt. Soegors (ice) vs. Bateman. A hot fight in France: The Celt cs. tho Teuton. McMahon rs. "our Fritz." That was a touching appeal of a North? ern office-seoker, who said: "I am, fel? low-citizens, largely entitled to you sup? port. I went heart and soul into the late war for tho Union and the bones of my substitute now lie bleaching upon a Southern battle field." The false hair trade is doomed. Olivo Logan has discarded chignons, wears her hair plaited in two Chinese queues down her back, and declares she will so wear it for full evening dreis on tho platform during tho entire coming sea? son. She will fight it out on that line if it takes all winter. Mr. W. Cornell Jewitt is dovoting his leisuro moments to the formation of another universal international peace society, to supersede all existing govern? ments, and organize the world on a new basis, and has offered tho secretaryship to President Grant. Tho Prussians claim that Bazaine is bottled up in the Champagne country. The Frenchmen reply that if Bazaine is bottled, ho is so sparkling that it takes tho triplexed wiro corks of tho King, tho Princo and Steinmetz to keep him down. Tho Bazaine mousseux is a great brand just now. It is related that at tho battle of Woorth, an officer of Cuirassiers had his head carried oft* by a ball. Notwith? standing, tho body remained upright for a short time, and for about 100 metres tho decapitated horseman appeared as if ho was charging the enemy. Pliny, tho elder, bestowed upon Zeuxis that extraordinary and judicious praise which conveys to us a high idea of his talents. Speaking of the picture which Zeuxis painted of Penelope, Pliny says: "Ho painted the manners of that Queen." Zeuxis never attempted to finish his work with rapidity, and when a person reproached him for his tardiness, ho said the reason of his slow progress was, "that he painted for immortality." His last piotnro was an old woman ; it was so comical and ridiculous that ho is said to have died with laughing at it. "Beresford Hope, in a letter to tho London Times, defends the erection of a monument to the memory of Stone? wall Jackson."

It is tho easiest thing in the world to be happy, if men and women would only think so. Happiness is another name for love, for where love exists iu a house? hold, there happiness must exist, even though it has poverty for a closo compa? nion. Whero love exists not, even though it be in a palace, happiness can never come. He was a cold and selfish hoing who originated the saying that "when poverty comes in the door, love flies out of tho window;" and his asser? tion proves conclusively that ho had no knowlodgo of love, for, unquestionably, tho reverse of it is true, and love is moro than ever inclined to tarry and to battlo with thc enemy. Let those who imagino themselves miserable, beforo they find fault with their surroundings, search their own hearts for tho truo causo. A few kind words, or a littlo forbearance, will often open tho way to a flood of suu shiue in a house darkened by tho clouds of discord aud unamiability.
