COLUMBIA, S C. - - ' ? fi* t 1 r-? 04 y L Tueri?y' M?rni?R, July ll.'1871. Tho French aro certainly a most buoy? ant people. They are DOW oongratulat ing themselves that they possess io ooo corpa au army 100,000 strong -in the in? terests of civilization. This .vaunt re? fers to the Versailles army that took Fjirls;. Without in any- w.ay^oxopsing, or even palliating, thtf abominations per poSrated by the Cotnmun?Bts, -woinay bej allowed to. doubt whether the behavior : ef this'Versailles army, after it had con? quered the capitol, can bo ooEBtruud as civilized; for many of' its. deeds-were thone of the moBt degraded barbarians.. Wo admit that its canso; was that of eiyilization; but nonio of its act? mako us Bhuddor. The future-is full of menn ces for France. The. Commune itself keeps op-its organization, and indulges the 'hopo that it will yet be ablu to carry vat its schemes of plunder. Though ita leaders are bad and infamous mon. they aro not foola, and tb?y^est' their lever on tho fact that large numbe rs of French? men are i?ie?led with socialism; and it is becauso of this-,facj; that the Com? mune, though conqaored for tho time, iq not disheartened. .Theonly hope of the friends, of truo liberty iu Franco is in Ibu education of tho icasseav Will this eyer ha accoraplishod? Gambetta bas taken tflio initiative, but wo apprehend failure, for there has novor been any portion pf the- Latin race that has received anything Bkogeneral popular instruction, und we lear that any such system can novor be earried ont among them. The French people must, therefore, for an indefinite period, pay the penalty of ignorance, which will be the co na ta ut rec ur rance of - involution. This is a sad reflection, und wo would moat willingly indulge in more pleasant anticipations; but with the. lights of the past and present history of France before us, we can see nothing in the future to cause, us to look for any? thing better than alternations between tho tyranny of personal government and that of the dancers of the hideous Car? magnole. ? . ? ? ? > .> P&E3troM3 FOB OoxToti--The commit? tee having in charge tho preparation of ibo list of premiums for cotton to be given by tho citizens of St. Louis at the St. Louis Fair next Ootubor, lmvo com? pleted tho arrangements and determiucd npon the following scale of? prices: For the best bale of long - or short staple raised in Tennessee, $000; second best bale, $250; third best, $100. - Tho same premiums will be- awardod to. cotton grown in Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas, Alabama, Georgia, .South Carolina, North Carolina nod Missouri; also, S5*00 for the best bale frpm Fueler - OT other improved seed, and $1,000 for the best bale groWn iu' any State;' mak? ing the aggregate of $10,000 premiums; ? tile largest amount ever given for cotton in this country.' j (--" -i ii :. MILITIA TO THE FIIONT.-On last Tues? day morning, the Chronicle q>td Sentinel published an account of the outrage committed in Barnwell County, South Carolina, by a band of colored Ku Klux, a few days previous. The same paper, ef Saturday, says: The.. Sheriff attempted to arrest thu scoundrels on the suooeeding day, but they refused to give themselves up and -dolled, the.representatives of the law. On another day, however, they promised to go to Aiken and abide the result of'a judicial investigation. On yesterday we learned that they had failed to comply With their promise, and still hold their position, armed as b?fore. Tho affair was reported to Gov. Scott, and it is stated that he has ordered a company of colored militiu to the spot, with orders to. capturo the insurgents. When ar? rested, they will be indicted and tried ?oder the provisions of tho Ka Klux bilk WHAT rr COSTS.-Queen Victoria's re? treat to Scotland during the summer . entails a vast deal of trouble on the go? vernment and some expense. A mem? ber of the cabinet is always obliged tc be in attendance on ber, and at the height of the parliamentary season his absence is often most inconvonient to his colleagues; then every evening a "Queen's mossengor" is despatched with State papers from London to Balmoral. These journeys, including many miles of posting with horses, amount up to a pretty little sn m. The Queen's persist? ence in going to Scotland in tbo Loudon season, os well as in the autumn, to? gether with nor utter negleot of Ireland, excites a great deal of quiet, yet strong indignation in the.bronsts of a class whose social status is of a far higher order than that of those who clamor in Trafalgar sqaare for a republic; but hor Majesty refuses to hear tho voices of ber ministers on the subject, remonstrate they ever so wisely. B?ST OF BISHOP ELLIOTT.-Miss Mary . Franklin,, an amateur sculptress, of Athens, Ga,, bas executed a very perfect represen tatton of this* great und good mao. She bas lind but little instruction or experience in the art of tho sculptor, and yot, with no other "model than a photograph, she bas succeeded in pro? ducing a wonderful likeness of Bishop Elliott.

MODEL OFFICIATES.-Judge Orr, acting upon the presentment of tho grand jury of Abbeville County, (Juno tor m.) ordered "that a rule bo served upon Thomas M. Williamson, School Com? missioner for Abbeville County, requir? ing him to show cause to this court, on th*.third Mouday in October next, why he should not bo indicted for being in such a state of habitual intoxication ns to disqualify bini from properly per? forming ;thep duties ,o? his said office; al?ol(f?r not.visiting the public schools df 'the County, as required by law. .

J. ll. Tarrant, another Trial Jus'-ioe of the samo County, is orderod to show < nun? why he should uot be indicted for mal-practicoin office, iu having charged illegal costs, and hav? ing promoted unnecessary litigation by virtuo of hi? office. D. O. Hawthorne, uuother Trial Justice of that County, is charged with the same offences." The Beaufort Republican Boys: "J. D. Robertson, the County School Commis? sioner, was arrested, Monday last, upon au affidavit mado by Wm. Elliot, Esq., for forgery. He was examined before H. G.

Stewart & Co.'s stables, a number of cases have appeared; tho Sixth Avenue railway line reports sixty cases and ten deaths. The Fifth ?venuo stage lines are also affected. Sonic of .the leading veterinary surgeons assert that the complaint has changed or is changing its character from a non-con? tagious to an epidemia complaint. These surgeons are about to call a meeting to consult on tho subject, with a view of devising rem?di?e. Mu i; ni: H.-Wo understand lhat Bill Webb, au aged colored man, was mur? dered at the Ben Chaplin plantation, Land's End, Beaufort, early Tuesday morning. Nothing of the deed is known, further than he wus killed iu an old field, and that an unknown man was seen making his way from tho spot. Internal revenue spies are driving "a land-office, business" among the apothe? caries of Boston, looking for razor strops, pomade pots, patent medicines and tooth-picks, on which there are no "stamps." Moro than 1(JU respectable Srrna in that city are held for alleged vi? olations of the law. On Saturday last, a negro mau, who was in tho employ of IV, Forster, on Sampit River, near the mill of tho Cy? press Manufacturing Company, opposite to tho town, was drowned, says tho Georgetown Timi*. He seems to have been quito drunk, and fell out of bis ca? noe. Mr. Joseph A. Thou ron, well known in this city, whore he was engaged in mercantile pursuits for a number of yours, died nt Summerville, S. C., yes? terday morning, at 8 o'olock, in the six? tieth year of his ago. {Charleston Courier. A crazy darkey, named Moses McCall, was Bhot by the colored jailor of George? town, on Sunday last. It was a caso of justifiable homicide. Tho latest swindle in Springfield, MUBS., is to wrap up au old iron screw in paper, aud pass it for a roll of pouuies. It works well until the paper breaks.

Crediting the wrelohed fictions which jverp joirjiod Itjpi Washington City by detected thieves and foiled dema? gogues, unprincipled partisan ronuagors iniagiiied th^ thefo might, by IktdrVialit! rind inflammatory 'denuueintions of the 8oathorn~pe6rble, and by their violent and insulting measures of Federal mili? tary menace- aud interference, provoke this people to acts of real resist ance to law and authority, and thus ru-awaken the slumbering pasdons of thc war, and justify nu appeal to tho old sectional hostilities and prejudices. We ere happy'to say that tba foul ?nd traitorous ?chemo has signally fulled. Thanks to tho peaceful instincts of our people, to tho patience, prudence and wisdom which como of their sad expe? rience, they bavo not oulygiven no occa? sion for the exercise of the extraordinary powers vested in the military authority for their coercion and menace, but they lmvo, by tho very best testimony, dis? proved aud falsified tho stories fabricated by unprincipled demagogues, Upon which such unconstitutional mensuren wore based. It is now fully shown that, deopito such wrongs and provocations, as no oilier peoplo ever endured with pu tiouco, the Southeru communities have demeaned themselves with remarkable orderliness, peacefulness and respect for law and authority: >: The silence of the honest portion of tho Radical party is the strongest concession of tho truth of this assertion. Tho fuct that the clamor, agitation and abuse of tho South on this score, aro now reduced and confined to the band of plunderers who have hereto? fore conoealed- and protected their shnmeless robberies of our people, by diverting public scrutiny and vengeance toward their victims, ou pretexts of their disloyalty and violent designs and nets agaiust tho Government, is strong, con? firmatory proof ot this proposition. Lot tho Northern mind be onco quieted and led to doubt whether there is any truth in those pictures in regard to Southern outrngas, and doubtless it will bo inclined to receive aud comprehend the truth in regard tn tho indignities, op? pressions and depredations to which these States and peoplo havo been sub? jected by the marauding hordu which has plundered them in tho name qi, the Union, and with - the assumed sanction und authority of tho Radical party of the nation aud of tho Federal Government. It cannot be questioned that these ma? rauders would never be able to carry ont their schemes of plunder and spoliation, but for these apparent sanctions. Northorn Radicalism has been tho po? tent ally and backer of this rapacious crew, and iain the main responsible for all their villainy. Tho chief perpetra? tors thereof are recognized ns faithful agents and representatives of tho party. They present good party records, and what right bavo wo to inquire into their personal, official and social qualities, characteristics and acts? As long as they are good Radicals how does it con? cern us, whether and to what extent they rob and oppress tho Southern peoplo? This has been the temper aud pruotioeof the Radical party heretofore. It ro? mains to bo proved whether the people of tho United Stales have become so maddened or degraded by partisan pas? sions, that now, when it has beeu shown bow great a deception bas been put upon them by this Ku Klux clamor and fabri? cation, whether they will consent any longer to encourage, dofend and sanction the wholesale plunder and confiscation of the Southern communities. [New Orleans Timi's. < ? ? MURDEH AND SOICIDE.-On March 15 last, a man named Rogers, living in Doddridge Conuty, West Virginia, was assassinated. Isaac Owen?, a rough charactor of tho neighborhood, was sus? pected and convicted. Noah James, a citizeu of some wealth, living in tho neighborhood, and a member of the last Legislature, contributed to procure the conviction. After his sentence Owens mado a confession, in which bo asserted that James had procured bim to do tho deed by a bribe of 875, and bad participated in it, firing tho second shot into the murdered man. Upon this a warrhut was issued for James' arrest. It is possible bo got Bomo wiud of it, for on Monday last be stepped out of his bouso with bis rifle in his hand, and, placiug the muzzle nt his oyo, pulled tho trigger with bis too, producing almost instant death." Wbilo Europe is contempl?ting a pos? sible aggressive Germany, it would be well for all the nations which havo a contingent "Battle ol Dorking" before their oyes to take heed of tho vast power of Russia, which is daily developing into more formidable proportions. Tho regular Russian army, according to re? cent statistics, consists of 852 batta!iohs of infantry, 281 squadrons of cavalry, and 1,422 pieces of artillery. These corps form, ou a peace footing, a nume? rical force of 33,0-13 officers aud 1,173, 870 rauk and file. Among Gen. Grant's other brilliant nohiovements, tho erection of tho Dis? trict of Columbia (ten milos square) into a torritory, with au amazing and expeu sivo array of officials, and a debt of four millions, should not bo overlooked.

DEATH FROM BLOWING DOWN A LAMP CHIMNEY.-Another of those shocking casualties resulting from the use of coal oil occurred on tho West Sido, on Tues? day night. Mr?. Elizabeth Sturg, living at No. 18 Mill street, corner of York, disrobed to r-itiro about 10 o'clock. She attempted to extinguish thc lump iu the very common rnuuner by blowing down tho chimney. Tho lu tup exploded, throwing over her tho blazing liquid, and in au instant she was enveloped in flumes.

Tho screams of the terrified and suffering woman called the neighbors to bur assistance, and tho flames wer? nt length subdued, but not uutil the unfortunate victim had been terribly bumed. Medical aid was called and everything possible done for her rb lief. but she died about midnight, after two hours of excruciating agony.

TENEMENT LIFE IN NEW YOUK.-Some idea may be formed of tenement life in New York, when it is known that two houses in "Gotham Court,V known as Nos. 3(3 and Cherry street, contain GOO people. Tho Board of Health has ordered a clearing out of these promises for tho benefit of humanity therein im? prisoned; but humanity and' avarice soem inclined to battle with tho* phi? lanthropic board, aud bravely struggle to reverse this order. It seems scarcely credible that such a phase of lifo can exist in a city of so much wealth aud magnificence; but, following tho down? ward truck of the cars through the East? ern avenues and lower streets, tho sight is truly sickening. Far up, to a height of four or five stories, iu cram pud aud dose rooms, or down beneath where God's sun-light fails to creep, men, wo? men and children vegetate, growing in J yours and developing in crime. Hero .] tho great masses congregate to eke out tho gift of life, which is often half spent before they know how to use it; but here aro also found, even amid tho squalor aud poverty and darkuess of corruption, brave and noble souls making these same hard lessons glorious for their fel? lows. WOMEN AT TUE POLLS.-They voted in Massachusetts, the other day, on the question of allowing tho salo of beer. In somo of the towns, young ladies at? tended tho polling places, charged with ballots, on which was printed the firm "no," instead of tho persuasive "yes." Those paper pollets they distributed to tho voters, and woo betide tho young man who did not accept ono and then vote it. Ho may enjoy his beer, and that is all that is left to him. The move? ment wus a practical application of tho now Victoria plan to "influence" th? votes of mon, and it was successful in many places. STUUCK DEAD HY LIOHTNINO.-The Ooceala (Iowa) Sentinel tells of au acci? dent which occurred on Saturday week at Fonk's Mill, near Hopewell. Tho wind blew dowu a house in which re aided- a family consisting .of tho hus? band, wifo and several children, all of whom escaped uninjured; but as they were muking their way to tho mill, the husband, who was carrying an infant in his arms, wns struck by lightning which killed him instantly. Tho child was not injured. Tho editor of a journal published in Antwerp Bent a reporter to Brussels for the king's speech, and with him a cou? ple of carrier pigeons to tako back the document speedily. At Brussels he gave the pigeons in charge to a waiter, and called for breakfast. Ho was kept wait? ing some timo, but a very delicate frica soo atoned for the delay. After break? fast ho paid his bill and called for tho carrier pigeons. ''Pigeons!" exclaimed tho waiter, "why, you have eaton thom." Methodist preachers aro proverbially facetious. A day or two since, in tbs conreo of the trial of Dr. Lauahan be? fore tho book committee nf tho Metho? dist Church, the Kev.

Tho New Orleans Times comments tbi on tim colored convention, called 1 meet in this city in October:' . - "The meeting pf tho Southern Statt colored convention, appointed for Oct bor, 1871, at Columbia, S.

By insulating themselves fro the body politic, and uniting into a p litical power, based upon class aud colt distinction, they enact' the same polit they have heretofore so strongly coi domncd in tho whites, and as might I supposed, will greatly strengthen thoi prejudices and antipathies now ascribe as the great bars to the negro's advanc meut.
