COLUMBIA. S. C. . Saturday Komine, October 8,1870. Tile Next Elrciion. In this connection, wo invite attention to tho card of Major Seibels, (bo Secre? tary of the Executivo Committee of the Reform Party. This card was publial)od in onr iosuo of yesterday. Oar judgment seems to bo confirmed. Tho assurances given in profuse terms by Gov. Scott and his colleague Mr. Rausior-tho as? surances as to their disposition to pro? vide for a fair and satisfactory election -are now declared to be worth nothing practical. The Secretary, Mujor Seibels, declares to the publie "that tho efforts on the part of the Committee (Reform) to se? cure fair play in tho comiug elect ion, have been fruitless." Let tho publie bo lt is not necessary, says tho Kew York Times, to bo an upholder of tho dynasty of tho Bonapartes in order to admire tho stubborn- consistency of Marshal Ba? zaine, who, hemmed in at Metz, cut off from all communications, with con? stantly diminishing forces und starva? tion in prospect, yet refuses cither to capitulate or to reoognizo tho Republic, "jujr Emperor placed mo afc ibis post; I .shall hold it till I fall," ho is reported to havo Baid to Jules Favre al their lalo interview. The iucideut reminds ono of the story of poor Casabiuuca, at tho Nile. The French army, though beaten, neod not be unburned of its heroes. The names of McMahon, Ulrich and Bazaine are not likely to bo either unhonored or forgotten; and there is many another in? stance of obscurer devotion to show that France, however unfortunate, and per? haps deservedly so, still has reason to bo proud of her children. Tho fall of Romo makes a new epoch in tho history of tho Papacy, many wise men believing that it will prove the bo ginning of renewed power on tho part of the Catholic church, while sectarians hail the event as tho harbinger of its eventual downfall. Wo haw never been able to see bow tho loss of a limited temporal sovereignty over u very incon? siderable portion of tho human race by the .hoad of a church, can seriously ufiect the power and influence of the church itself among the great mass of the humau family, who aro in no way connected with his political reign. CLOSE OF TUE WAR IN NORTU CAROLI? NA.-The Grant-Holden-Kirk war iu this State bas nearly closed. All the compa? nies of United States artillery sent hero by President Grant, under the falso ro {>resentations of Holden, Pool and Settle, eft last ^Friday on their return to For? tress -Monroe. Ouly one company of United States infantiy remains. All of Holden's State troops aro gone also, ex? cept a few uegroes at the arsenal, Bur gin, who is in jail, and Kirk, who is in ! the marshal's custody. Some of tho mu? lish that were disbanded havo arrived at their bornes in Tennessee and other place?, the remainder ure iu the different jails of the State. On Friday, tho quar? termaster's stores of Holden's army were sold iu this city at public auction. Tho horses, which cost in tho aggregate $2,800, sold for S1.820; tho other things, we learn, came near bringing their value, .considering tho manner in which they were abused during tho campaign. I Raleigh Sentinel. A GILDED CAGE.-The Emperor Ka polcon can pass a luxurious life at Wil? helmshohe, if ho is so disposed. His prison is called the Versailles of Cassel, and its burs moro cosily aud splendid .than those of gold, ?in the first place, it is in tho most delightful situation, being on tho East slope of tho Habitchs wald Mountains. It bas hot-houses, water falls, pleasantries and lakes. It has temples of Apollo and Mercury, and o Chinese village. It has a iloblo foun? tain, said to bo tho largest in tho world, being 190 feet high and 12 feet in thick? ness. It has n colossal copy of tho Far neso Hercules, so huge that niuo people eau sit on tho statue's club. Tho furni? ture, carriages, servants, und other ap? pointments, are worth j of their sumptu? ous surroundings. Hero tho "Prisoned Euglo" has everything on earth-but li? berty. Louis Napoleon has stated his ultima? tum to King William. Ho proposes au al? liance between France and Germany, tho war to bo closed by Franco giving in? demnity and dismantling all fortresses needed solely for attack. Tho shrewd ex-Emperor is making nnothor desperate bid for his crown, but it remains tobe seen how King William eau treat willi his humbled prisoner on the question of peace with a power that bus disowned tho Napoleonic dynasty. It noems strange that tho imperial prisoner of Sedan, who was overthrown by one power and disowned by the other, should now propose to act as peace-maker be? tween tho two. Bat it is ono of tho many strange anomalies of tho war, and it is ono of tho shrewdest of tho ??/ee.s Napoleonnes. Hon. W. P. Price, from Georgia, for? merly member of tho South Carolina Legislature, hos been nominated from the Sixth Congressional District of Georgia. Thomas Dodd, Esq., an old citizen of Oconee, died on the 23d ult. n cfo rm Gathering at Lee? ville. EDITOU PHONIX: On Saturday, Ooto? ber lat, the people of Leesville and the surrounding country guvo^o barbecue in tbo interests of reform. Some half dozen or moro speakers had been Invited to addroes the people, but owing to the fact that mostof them had appointments on tho following Monday, at such points in tho State that they could not reach them without starting on Saturday, only Judge Bacon and tho Kev. Jonas Byrd came, aud at tho last moment Mr. H. W. Bice, of Lexington Court House, was re? quested to speak. Tho rain had been pouring from au early hoar, but at 12 m., an audience of about 400 of both raccB assemblod. Tho meeting was called to order by that staunch aud well tried citizen, General Paul Quattlebaum. Most of the audience and the speakers wero under cover, but a portion had to stand or sit in tho open nir, notwith? standing the rain. Mr. Rice was the first speaker. Ho began by saying that bo was n new hand at public speaking, or rather talking, ns he callod it; that it was no timo for oratory, but calm and deliberato argument. Ho vindicated and explained tho Union Reform Platform; reviewed the State Government, Consti? tution aud laws; contrasting tho radical theories and practice; reviewed the laud commission Act, tho trial justices' Act, tho Act for freo schools, tho Act for organization of militia, and action of Scott & Co., in raising aud arming negro compauics, ko., Seo. Wo can only men? tion the main points. Mr. Rico spoke ono hour and three-quarters. The speech was one of great power. Jndgo Bacon followed for an hour. Ho began by saying that if that was a spe? cimen of Mr. Rice as a beginner, that with ,a little practice ho would rival Judgo Carpenter himself. Judgo Bacou reviewed the history of slavery, and con teuded that tho Northern people, having brought tho Africans hore, that it was au act of kindness aud humanity for the Southerners to buy them and take caro of them; showed tho action of tho North? ern people iu first selling their slaves to tho South and afterwards passing eman? cipation Acts for their States. He review? ed tho promises of present radicals of State Government to the colored people, aud showed their deceptions. He told many laughablo anecdotes; showed tho working of tho laud commission iu his County. Many other admirable poiuts which we do not now remember. Judge Bacou deserves the thanks of the farmers about hero, for the manner in which he talked to the colored people in regard to plautiug. It is a singular fact that nei? ther ho nor Mr. Rico nor Gen. Qnattle baum mentioned tho fact that Judge Bacon was our candidato for Congress. So muoh devoted to the geueral causo, they forgot nil about individual interests. LuBt carno tho Rev. Jonas Byrd. Thc impression created by this venerublo old colored man was remarkable. His calm, quiet, dignified enunciation of his rea? sons for going with the Reformers; his enthusiasm for tho good cause; his cer? tainty of tho defeat of Scott &. Co.; the unusual spectacle to our people of a co? lored speaker, who said anything oise thau tho usual teachings of the Ring; all and everything about him contributed tc tho effect. Our people, after his speech, crowded around and grasped his hand, and congratulated him and themselves on bearing such sentiments from ono ol his race. At 4 p. m., ull went to diuuer, one found everything in abundance. Aftei dinner, a dance carno off, and our fail women (who lead all tho speakers) seem ed to appear very enchanting, to Judge Bacon, in particular. Not content wit! looking on, he took charge of ceremonies and continued until a late hour to cal ont, aud ut intervals, to join iu tlu dance. Altogether, wo had a glorious and pleasant day, notwithstanding tlu continued raiu. Our white people are f unit in regard io thc Scott Ring, ant will vote solidly for Union and Reform our colored people are still, to a great exteut, disposed to go with tho radicals Still wo aro making rapid inroads, ont hope to give a good account ol' them ot the 10th. To tho Committee of Arrangemeuts Messrs. Jasper S. Derrick, S. Fred Hendrix, Ed. Lee aud D. D. Mitchel and to those who wero so active iu get ting up the barbecue, tho thanks of oui people aro duo for tho success of tin whole affair. LEESVILLE.

H., Oct. 3, 1870. --? ? The Boston Traveller, welcoming little rain which fell there tho other day remarks: lt is hard to make a citizen of Bosto! appreciate the terrible dryness which ha been experience.! for many weeks b largo sections of New England. It ro quires sight to realizo fully that th pastures, and even the fields to it great es tent, have benn as brown as iu Decembei and that cattle, for weeks, have been fci ot barns, as in mid-winter; that brooke and streams, and ponds, and spring have been long exhausted, except in rar cases; and that it hus been as ncccssnr for our farmers to economizo in tho us of woter as for a ship's company who on allowance. And yet this has actuall been tho condition of large sections c New England for weeks past. The stat of tho country was not only distressin?> but really alarming; for in case of fir the inhabitants were utterly defenceless OHAFPBEIII'S DEPOT, Ootober 4, 1870. Mn. EDITOR: It is a matter of vital importance to the Union Reform Farly tb at tho ensuing election for Governor j and Lieu ten a nt-Governor bc conducted with all fairness, without which snoooss ia impossible In order to accomplish this, it is necessary that the utniobt vigi? lance be maintained, not only in the superintendence of the voting, bat in examining the stability of the ballot boxes as well. The necessity for this precaution will be apparent, after refe? rence to tho conduct of the famous i ballot-box stuffer, Dennis Eagau, of Florida* Ho was appointed manager and superintendent of election, immedi? ately after the late unpleasantness. As the time for election drew nenr, ho had the ballot-boxes made by a negro me? chanic, (radical,) with in3tructious, to dove-tail tho joints, and iu order to make them secure, to screw each piece to the ones adjoining, except ono side, tho scrows of which were to bc cut off so short as not to reach through to the second picco, making no fastening at all, but tho .semblance of ono only; thus it was a very easy matter to remove the side so slightly put on, destroy any num? ber of votes for one party, replacing them with that of their opponents; re? place the side without any marks of vio? lence, so making a falso count, with all apparent fairness. To allay all suspi? cious of fraud, the conservative party was allowed inspectors, who had the privilege of scaliug tho ballot-boxes with auy private or other seal they might choose. This piece of high-handed justico was detected only by tho falling of tho side to one of the bosci at Talla? hassee. Au investigation wan-made and fouud iu accordance with tho above facts, which was endorsed at that time hy the military. Should tho truth of this be questioned, it eau bo substanti? ated by a number of tho most reliable men in that State. With all fairness to both sides, and in order to prevent any such occurrence iu this State, I would suggest that tape or number one taffeta ribbon bo passed twice arouud the sides of the boxes over tho top, twice around the cuds over tho top, and at each cross? ing there bo placed a seal. I baud this to you that tho people may see what frauds can bo practiced on them if they nre not wide awake. H. A GARNISON.-Company " "A" of the 8th Infantry, numbering seventy men, and under command of Major G. M. Brayton, and Lieuts. Gordon Winslow and J. M. E. Hyde, reached here last Thursday, aud are eligibly encamped on classio Halcyon Grove. Thu order, de? corum and esprit de corps of tho com? mand are superb, while tho appearance and beariug of tho officers, if these things are iudices nt all of character and sentiment, give ample evidence that they aro high-toned, honorable gentlemen. Newberry can well submit tho ttusts which come within the purview of tho military to the true men who generully compoao tho regular nrniy-men who usually deal justly, though tho heavens fall. . Wo learn that theso troops are hero at the instance of Gen. Terry, military commander of the South. Major Bray? ton reported to Sheriff Pnysiuger, and will assist that officer in tho enforcement of law and order, whenever he may ueed the assistance of tho military. The headquarters of tho regiment is at Co? lumbia, S. C.-Newberry Herald. To TRAVELERS.-Through tickets from Greenville to New York, by the way of Charleston, have heep put on sale at the depot iu this place-tho price boijg $27.75. Tho steamships on tho line between Charleston and Now York are well known for their excellent accommo? dations and skillful commanders. By this route, there is no chango of baggage after leaving Charleston, and tho pas? senger can sit down at meal times and enjoy himself to thc full, with thc best, the market affords, without being tinder the momentary appreheusiou of hearing tho cry "All aboard!" [Greenville Mounlaineor. PnoLll'lC.-Ono of thc marshals iu Iowa reports to the census bureau n family consisting of a father, mother and niucteen children, the latter all born within a period of seven years, and all liviug. At the first birth, the wifo pre? sented her husband with four cherubs, and at each of tho three successive deli? veries live more, making nineteen within the specified time. A vory doubtful story, notwitstanding its official an? nouncement. The imports of foroign dry goods at the port of New York for tho month of September were two milUous in excess of tho corresponding total for lasC year, but the diminution of tho stock iu bond shows that they havo all been wanted, and there is no glut in tho market. Tho largest gaiu has been in woolens, but each department shows an increase, and tho gniu in tho total thrown upon tho market is uearly ?3,500,000. HOMICIDE.-Wo learn that an altorca tion took place nt Graham's Cross Hoads, in this District, on Saturday, between a negro by tho namo of Graham, and a white man by tho namo of Matthews; that tho latter shot the former with a pistol, from tho effects of which ho died on Monday.-Kingstree Star. A St. Louis despatch says the census of that city, just completed, makes it ns tho fourth in tho Union, counting Brooklyn separate from New York. The figures aro not given, but it is stated that the population has doubled siuco 1801, when it was 157,057. Tho guns of the United States frigate Cumberland, sunk in Hampton Roads iu April, 18G??, by Uio irou-clad Merrimao, havo been raised and taken to tho Tredegar Foundry, ne.'ir Richmond, where they aro to be converted into rails and car wheels. John Allon, famous sonia timo ?incons the "Wickedest Man *in New York," died nt tho little village of Perth, two weeks ago. Ho died ns ho had lived, having done nothing to invalidate his claim to the title. The wealthiest people in tho world are j the Osage Indians in Kansan.

The author seems to have adopted Hie three requ?seles of Demosthenes for ora? tory- "action, action, action," as hoing equally applicable to fiction. The story, accordingly, never flagp, and though scarcely possessing tbe pre-eminent, charm of "Gilbert Ruggo," isa fair sam? ple of the very respectable abilities ol its anonymous author. Tho liking which thc author displays for dramatic situations occasionally leads him ink somewhat stagey diulogue, but as a rub the narrativo is equally distinguished foi naturalness as for vigor.
