COLUMBIA, S. C. Saturday Morning, September 10,1870. President Grant and itt?) Movement for Reform In Soutu Carolin?. Mr. r>. H. Chamberlain, the Attorney General of the State, having made to President Grant the report of certain words incorrectly ascribed to General Butler, drew from the President a criti? cism reflecting upon the Reform move? ment. Mr. Chamberlain invests this criticism with so much significance that he affirms that Reform journals "dare" not publish Presidont Grant's language. We have this to say to Mr. Chamberlain, that BO far as this journal is concerned, Gen. Grant's words aro not so potent as he seems to regard them. Gen. Grant was magnanimous in war, and wo have not failed to make this acknowledgment. Bat his civil career has not been, in our judgment, creditable either to his mind or his heart. lu seeking a reform in South Carolina, wo havo no reuson to ex? pect any sp?cial aid from President Grant. Nor do we think that his gra? cions favor ie by any means essential to the sucoess of tho movement for reform. We deny that his orrtioiun is well found? ed and we ropol tho intimation of insin? cerity that he undertaken to allix to the motives of those engaged in tho Reform -effort. And we do nat hesitate to soy .that from his high placo it ill becamo the .Chief Magistrate of the country to call cnto question the motives of thoso en? gaged in a certain political effort. Gen. Grant's troops did not prevent a great Reform victory in North Carolina. In South Carolina, Gen. Grant's note to Mr. Chamberlain will be alike impotent to repress tho free expression of the popular sentiment as well as tho popular will. Tile Fr?tent Regime* Inconsistent ultu ttie Prosperity of South Carotlnu. In no merely partisan spirit, but with a due sense of the obligation of truthful statement, we have again and again in these columns denounced tho present regime iu South Carolina as at warfare with the best interests of our population, white as well as colored. Let us consi? der calmly and deliberately wherein it bas beou weighed iu tho balance and found wanting: 1. In this- that il has introduced into the Slate a system of fraud, corruption and bribery disastrous and disgraceful. It is a matter of common notoriety, that in nearly, if not every County of tho State, gross frauds and mifemanngemeut of tho County funds have been made apparent. In many instances, tho County officers are notoriously ignoruut, or inefficient or corrupt, and in most eases, where the officers are of the Goveruor's appoint? ment, they aro sclented uot because of honesty or capability, but because of party considerations. But this atato of things is uot confined to tho Couuties. Look to the late General Assembly, and consider tho shameful and bare-faced bribery uud corruption that have caused oven Republican journals to mnko the monstrous thing a subject of hearty denunciation. Look to the Land Com? mission swiudles-exposed hero and there, all over the State. Seo how, in tho casu of State officers, private for? tunes, by undoubted rascality, have been made at the public expense. And ob? servo how plundering Rings havo beeu shown to prey upon the State. 2. The present regime is ut war with the public interests in this-that the delibe? rate purpose of the Executive and his aiders arid abettors is lo keep up an antago? nism between the two races thal live in South Carolina. It is certainly desirable that a good understanding should exist be? tween the whites and blacks in the Stuto. This would lead to a better system of labor, and hence to lurger productions, and hence to greater prosperity. And this would also lead to that union of the good men of both color, that we so muoh need in order to secure capable and honest and thrifty government, andnu ecouomical administration of our public affairs. This, too, would promote that internal peace that scoures tho iutercsts of property. 3. The present regime is inconsistent with the public good also, iu this-that it does not encourage the flow in the State of that capital that we need and of that thrifty population which we desire, in order to supplement our numbers. It is obvious that capital and Bottlers aro not disposed to place themselves under n government which eveu radical journals have pronounced "a disgrace to civilization." A Republican, of Colum? bia, statod, iu effect, to us not long since: "Give good government to South Caro? lina-got rid of your plundering King nud I will g naran iee that thousands of settlers will move to South Cand?na with their families and their means." But, added ho, "you must not expect them to como under present circumstances." Assuming now, that tho proposition that the present regime is not promotive of the publie good, has been established, the question is, what follows? Plainly, that it is oar duty to give all possibler impetus to the present movement for REF o BM. This movement seeks the good of the State. It appeals to sober and discreet men of both races and parties to combine upon a liberal platform, and to work for tho common good. Tho pro? position is to give good and honest go? vernment to South Carolina-to put an end to the reign of plunderers and self seekers-to secure peaco between the races and to encourage and stimulate the flow into the State of capital and skill and enterprise. Surely, saoh a work is deserving of patriotio effort. -1-?.?-? The Decline ot War. Tho admirable certainty with wilie' tho machiuery of war destroys humnu lifo, its continuous advance toward per? fection as an art, while it overwhelms us with its present horrors shows us through tho murky smoke of hattie the silver lining beyond, and the shining shores of perpetual peace awaiting tho civilized world. Surely the bloody testimony now in progress, of tho folly and crime of destroying human lifo by wholo annies, without a shadow of excuse in tho beginning or a grain of recompenso in the end, is not to bo lost ou tho obscure millions who are thus made tho victims of the sanguinary lust of empe? rors and kings-intelligent as theso masses become, and clear-sighted in re? spect to their individual righto, and iu respect lo the absurd pretense of crowned bigots and imperial despots to rule and ruin. Indeed, no conflict could have had a happier origin, or have been characterized by moro appropriate circumstances, if its purpose were, as wo trust it is, in tho order of Providence, to moko historical a great lesson to man? kind, warning the nations against tho desigus of selfish rulers, and illustrating by its conscqueuces, which aro likely to consist chiefly of the ashes of tho dead, tho most inconceivable human misery, und most measureless human shame. As the New Orleans Times says, it is no whero protended that Franco or Prussia required this war. It had its source in the evil minds of selfish and ambitions rulers, whose objects wero personal to themselves, marshalling hundreds of thousands of young and vigorous men to tho fields of slaughter, that they may, on the ono hand, perpetuate au indi? vidual dynasty, aud on tho other achieve personal fame, Tho first lesson to bf gleaned from the bloody anuals lies ic thc fact that tho great powers have de? clared there shall bo no dismemberment on tho ono hand, or aggrandizement ol territory on the other, to either nation, as a consequence of victory or defeat. This leads us to au assurance of pleasing progress in respect to future wars. It will leavo tyrants without adequate pro texts for hostilities, und reduce interna tiona! conflicts, if they still como, to flu moral paucity of a combat of gladiators But after au exhibition of strife, si needless aud so sanguinary, may then not arise among the leading powers o Europe, a souse of responsibility highe] and grander than that of lixiug cotise queuces? May not humanity so fal vindicate: its nature and its God us t< inspire them with au impulse rather t( direct tho prevention of wars than t< deny belligerents the rewards of meril when over? It may be well to say ti those: "You may fight, but we, the cou servatives of European integrity aud o; the general peace, deny you other cou sequences than mutual bloodshed." Bu it would assuredly be better to say "Fight not at all." How simple am how grand u spectacle might be made t< electrify tho world and inspire deligh wherever tho sensitive heart of mai thrills iu response to emotions of joy, o throbs in painful sympathy to a cry o paiu, by means of an international con veution of powers or States, met to in stituto a code of solemn laws, to b< enforced in adjusting all disputes be tween nations, prescribing forever tin bloody, and, in tho present perfection o constructive art and advancement o military scieuco, desperate recourse ti arms? --?-.-.?-? TEN THOUSAND ROUNDBOF CAIITKIDOES Wo learn that 10,000 rounds of car tridges arrived ut this place Inst Mon day, directed to Jnue'Mobley. That' about five bullets for each white voter o this County. Scott must expect som pretty hard fightiug to carry his election We shudder at tho iden of having fiv bullets lodged iu our inoffensive ciircas.1 Now, tho next move, wo suppose, will b to get a Kirk or a Crewsjto command th Scott anny in Union. Wo also lean that 25,0UU rounds of cartridges wer sent to Chester a few days ago, and thu in some Counties tho militia drill wit loaded guns.- Unionvilut Times. Sister Irene, of the Foundling Aayhu of New York, reports that thus fa 1,0-10 babies havo been found in th basket crib in the vestibule of that ic stitution. They continue to como in ti tho rate of about seveu daily. - .Ll11. . "J i! A IVapoIeonlot Journal OB ?ho Efronch DtfMti The Courrier des Etais Unis, the load? ing French j on ru al in this country, ad? mits that tho defeat is final. It says: It is usefoss to disguise the truth. The army which bas not surrendered, but bas been surrendered to the enemy, was the dower of our military population. With McMahon destroyed and Bazaine helpless, France has left countless masses fanatical with patriotism, ready to throw themselves blindly upon tho mouths of the Prussian caunou; but she has no longer an army. New masses, however, full of confi? dence, are helpless aguiost military science, discipline, and, above all, against modern arms. Once it waa men who made war; bravery supplemented number; enthusiasm mudo heroes. Now, it is rifled cannon aud perfected musket? ry that tight; tho mun is no longer moro than the attendant of the weapon; ho counts for but oue, und courage without numbers only makes victims. All Frnuco, with her 3,000,000 of young men from tweuty to thirty years of age, riaiug as oue, extemporized into soldiers, and hurled iu full career upon the solid, iutclligent, well-armed, disci? plined mass of tho victorious Prussians, would throw itself ou butchery, aud would not drive back ono step the wall of steel before her. No doubt France will receive with a cry of tierce wrath, liko tho lion falleu into a ditch, the story of the surrender signed in her name; and that tho first movement will bo a levy of tho whole peoplo aud a leap towards uew combats. But this lirst frenzy over, cool reflection will come to throw au ice shroud on this heroism, aud wo doubt if any man can be found to tako the lead iu briugiug on now conflicts, that is to say, the respon? sibility of new disasters. The people of Paris aud the com? manders of tho besieged places, nay, every manly heart that lias its hand ou a flag-stall', may refuse to submit and de? termine rather to dio than to suffer the Prussiau flag to stand ou the ramparts they guard; but (hero will bo no one to organize this resistance, which would bo suicide; no political party which will risk, ou this bloody resort, the future before it; uo one who docs not know that France has no right to commit suicide; that she belongs to thu world, to civilization, to humanity, and that at least one chance of success would bo necessary to justify the horrors which would result from continuing a war that could no longer be aught but an uu broken series of ravages, waste, slaugh? ter and ruin. Wo cannot tell what counsels will pre? vail iu the fearful embarrassments iuto which Frauce is plunged. Not to-day uor to-morrow will culm and reflection como out of this chaos. Some days must be allowed to appease tho hot fever of this hour. Then will come tho limo of great resolves. Who will take thom? Doubtless the natural repre? sentatives of the country, tho assembled Chambers, who will Hud iu their patriot? ism the solution of the immense pro? blem of re-establishing penco on tho least sad conditions for tho pride and the iuterest of Franco that eau bo ob? tained. The fate of the Empire is Sealed. Our first defeats were tho signal of its fall. Napoleon III. is no longer more than a phantom, aud his dynasty dies with ?lim. What, will succeed bim is tho secret of the future. Nor is it our part to predict uta gluuco what changes these great events will bring to the political, moral aud mate? rial condition of Europe. One promt neut fact, however, seems to us to be fixed; it is that this atrocious butchery, this frightful spectacle giveu to u tremb? ling world, this accursed holocaust will put au end to war. Prussia takes up the sceptre of military greatness fallen from the hands of France, but it is a broken sceptre. No louger tho emblem of aught but u dead power; of glory, indeed, but glory that does not shiue on the future. No longer is it its arms that shall give supremacy to nations, and Germany, united by tho victory of Prussia, will hereafter bo neither greater nor more powerful thau yesterday, if her aggran? dizement is not tho signal for a liberal progress of humanity. Her flag will not bo more glorious, if it is only to continuo to shelter effete institutions. The struggle henceforth is no longer between the material forces of the na? tion; it is in their moral dovclopment, their civilization and their liberties. Thus Franco, even mutilated, if it must be so, will still remain, we hope, the great loading and glorious nation. The day when, by tho fated march of events, n day doubtless nut far distant, tho des? tiny of the people will no longer be left to tho chances of battle; tho day when a less barbarous justice will settle the dis? putes amoug men; tho day when armies cease to consumo tho brightest resources and energies of thu Dations; to put ut risk the equilibrium of public forces, tho genius of Franco will recover in moral power what sim hus lost iu material power. Couutries will no longer bo mea? sured by tho extent of their territory and the number of their people, but hythe worth of tho progress they havo achieved aud the liberties they have conquered; on that day, France, cured of her wounds, will again, iu spite of the cruel way in which sue is torn, take the place of houk-r which belongs to her in the front of civilized nations. The Camden Journal states that a orazy colored man is confined in tho jail of Kershaw, because the County has not funds sufficient to pay for his maintenance in the Lunatic Asylum tho Governor having ordered a suspen? sion of the payment of taxes until after thu election. NOMINATIONS FOB BARNWEHJ.-J. M. Richardson, Julius Mayer, (colored,) Robert Aldrich, Joshua Daniels, (color? ed,) Dr. W. W. Smith, Garrot Scott, (colored.) / COLUMBIA, September 8, 1870. Mn. EDITOR: Tho prose of this State, in oom m outing on the letter recently published by me ia favor of the election of Scott and Ransier, have charged that my position was takon by reason of an arrangement between myself and the leaders of tho Republican party; that I was to be elected to the Scnato of tho United States the ensuing winter. In reply, I beg to state, first: That I have never had auy conference with Governor Scott, or any other Republicau, directly or indirectly, with rofereuco to tho Sou: - torial election; nnd second: That T have uot beeu, am not now, and will not be, a candidate for tho United States Senate, at the approaching seasion of tho Legis? lature. Very respectfully, JAMES L. ORR. -? ? ? ? POLITICAL PLATFORMS-"THE INCLU? SIVE BAITED PLATFORM. "-The New York "World Bays: As the season for coustrncting plat? forms is uow at baud, the views in this regard of a certain facetious correspon? dent of tho Mobile (Ala.) Register may be of interest. According to this inge? nious gentleman, tho subject is best con? sidered nuder three heads, thus: (1) the Old-fashioned Platform, which simply stated some important principle or policy in a few plain words; (2) the Exclusive Scare-crow Platform, which is really tho old-fashioned platform with a tail to it certain showy immaterialities, well cal? culated to drive off voters, being tacked on in tho most unnecessary manner to the main proposition; and (3) tho Inclu? sive Baited Platform, which starts with a glittering generality and tails ol? ?uto a huge string of tempting declarations, each adapted tu some special taste. To this latter form, the Register's correspon? dent gives his enthusiastic support, and kindly furnishes a brief cataloguo of the best bait: as that we aro eternally op? posed to death and taxes (omnibus;) that we are in favor of giving every man who votes with us nu office, and to some three or four (for patriots;) that we are in favor of the Prussians whipping tho French (for the Germans;) that we are in favor of tho French whipping tho Prussians (for tho French:) that weare opposed to the army worm and tho Chinese (for cot? ton planters, Crispins, and Californians;) and that we aro iu fuvor of every man's having forty mules, a thousnud acres of land, and a barrel of whiskey (for our American Turcos.) Beyond doubt, the inclusive baited platform is a taking thing. NAPOLEON'S OUTLOOK von A RAINY DAY.-The Chicugo Tribune says: Our London correspondent assures us, as an ascertained fact, that thu Emperor Napoleon has enough money invested in thu English funds to yield him an annual income of ?100,000. This sum, capi? talized nt tho Euglish rate of interest, represents over ?3,000,000. He also estimates that the Emperor has as much invested in other countries. According to this estimate. Napoleon has not been unmindful of tho future. He hus been so preparing matters that, in case of trouble, ho will uot bo left iu poverty. Upon the interest of $30,000,000 ho can. manage to live quite comfortable. CURE rent RHEUMATISM.-Ouo of the old and approved physicians in Hart? ford, who has a very largo practice, has for several yours used, with marked suc? cess, a remedy for rhuematism, which wo will publish, for the reason that tho article used eau bu obtained, not alone at the drug-shops, but abroad in the fields. It is tho berry of the common scoko-weed, or scoke root-often called "poke-root." These berries aro put into spirits-gin is tho best-at the rate of two ounces to tho pint. Of the tinc ture thus made, a tablo-spoonful is given three times a day. Wo aro told that this simple romedy, persisted iu for a week or more, has effected some remarkable cures of this common and distressing complaint. In Mobile and New Orleans they aro about to run street cars with India-rub? ber motivo power. Au india-rubber band, 520 feet in natural leugth, is stretch? ed out to ten times that length This is first wonud around one drum, so that as it unwinds, its retractile power pro? pels tho car, und, in addition, wiuds it up around another drum as tightly as it was arouud the first drum, minus tho power lost iu overcoming the friction of tho car. So it wiuds and unwinds, first upou ouo drum and then upon the other, until tho loss of power occasioned by tho moving of the car renders it neces? sary to wind the thing up by n renewed application of steam power. A smart girl in Minnesota poppod tho question to her lover, asked the consent of his parents, procured a marriugc license, ordered tho wedding breakfast, tho carriago to convey thom to tho depot, and hud a private conversation with tho parson, all on tho same day. Tho young man had occupied seven years tu the effort to ask her to havo him, and bad failed every time. She finally noticed that ho had something preying upon bis mind, and having in the meantime heard Miss Anthony, assisted him to get rid of it in tho manner described. MAD.-Tho Parisian mob cast iuto the Seiuo all works of ort commemorative of tho Bonapartes, and, ns if to be su? premely childish, began re-uaming the streets, while the Prussian trumpets wero almost audible beyond the city walls. Mirabeau said thoro was but a step from tho Capitol to the Tarpeian rock. Applied to tho Emperor, that is a sounding phrase. But tho homely Euglish proverb, relativo to tho eoey precipitation from the sublimo to the ridiculous, fitly characterizes the insane Paris rabblemont. g|A benovoleut goutlemant nt West? brook, Mo., lost his pocket-book with 8500 in it, and when n boy returned it, tho mon guvo him a sour crab-apple. ?Dooa,l lt? .*.*-? s, .

It is hoped that a goodly number of the down country belles will be present, mid vie with their I mountain visitors in the display of their j natural attractions, of which they are i tho fortunato possessors.

Tho earnest desire is expressed that he moy long live and his hotel continue to prosper iu its highly flourishing condition. There was a graud Republican demon (stration, in tho Park, yesterday, and last night iu front of .Tanney's Hall. Speech? ifying was tho order of tho day and night. Messrs. J. A- T. R.

A witty Prussian unconsciously spoke the truth, yesterday, when ho said thai the French just lind the Nap. takeu of their backs.
