expressed tho opinion tb'at Franco can
only be saved by the republic, and the
republic only >be saved by education.
Education, be holds, must bc spread
? among the masses, and thejjroas igno
ran oe of the peasantry removed. .This,
he bolds, can only be effected by a re?
publican form of government. As to the
Thiers' go vcr u meut, he upholds it, and
con tends that it desertes the gratitude
-and the Buppork of every French ci tizo n
?ff ho bas the interest of bis country at
heart. He bolio voa th ut Franca ia re?
publican at heart? and remarks: : VThanks
to the anion between tho different shades
of republican opinion, I firmly believe
wu shall bo nblo to present to.Franco the
spectacle of a party thoroughly disci
plined, Brm in it? principios, energetic,
/vigilant! and resolved to eonviuG? Franco
that she possesses the faoulty of self
goveinmeht." Bat, above all'things,
Gambetta magnifies education--mental
asu physical. '-Every mau, "-aie ??ys,
"must be brought not only to read and
reason, but to act and fight. Every
citizen ought to be able to wield a sword,
to hoodie a rifle, to nndergo long marches,
to sleep in the open air, and, in a word,
to do everything his country may require
of him. It is indispensable that every
Frenchman must be a soldier." And, to
carry out his scheme of education, he
proposes to nnito tho school and the
gymnasium. -He wants knowledge io
desoend from the learned academies into
the hnmblest <soho?!s: Thus does Gam?
betta suggest the neudu of Franco; and
the power that he seeks be would fain
derive from education. The 'superior
training of Pru asia gaye-h?r the vi ito ry,

and private seandul ia diguified with a
hearing before a oommittee.of Congress,,
a letter from this part? of tbe'eoantry
may not prove uninteresting to many of
your ^renders.*. V '
The subcommittee armed here a few
dsya ago, and have been busy taking
testimony ever, si DOO. They found every?
thing lu readiness fdr them when they
came. ? The highways and byways had
been icon red, and many a vagabond ne?
gro, oliorud by. the offer of $2 per day,
exhibited himself marked with stripes
which in many oases no dOabt was dono
years ago at the pillory for crime. The
evidence so far has not been important
only as it discloses the miserablo failure
of th? " State Government. Dr. Win
smith, formerly a Senator from this
County, aud a very intelligent gentle?
man^ testified that sometime ago ho was
visited by an armed body of men at
night, called ont, and shot in several
places, some of tho wounds being very
severe. Ho believed in the existonoe of
tho'Ku Klux, bot thought they grew out
of tho disturbed condition of society,
a,ud bad stats of government. He
thought that if the Kiana were ovor com?
posed .of respectable aud prominent
men, they had now degenerated and
wore made up of the worst sort of mate?
rial. General James OheBnnt testified a
few days ago that the people of this1
State were not hostile to the United
States Government, that tho "outrages,'
so-called, were bat the natural disturb?
ances whioh always follow great revolu?
tion?, and are the results of bad local
government. The sab-committee have
boon*treated with every kindness by the
peoplo, and if they go away unfavorably
impressed, it will be only from their as
soe lat iou with tho cpooituon Badioals of
this placo. Wallace, M. C., from this
State, is bera to do tho dirty work. He
aud.auch kindred cattle have the ear of
the Committee, and are doing all in their
power to prejudice the committee against
the people. . Tup greatest proof of their
forbearance is- that they suffer, such
scoundrel* to go unhung. It is said that
the, committee aro. getting very tired of
their' work; they are disgusted at the
idea of being sent hundreds of miles , to
hear "Old Wives'TaleB," and. to j listen
with gravity to long recitations, of fa?
mily louds and neighborhood difficulties.
They feel very ruuah like the veteran
soldier does when he is sent in all the
pride, pomp and circumstance -pt glori?
ous war to arrest, some hog thief, (often
the case here;) that their task is inglori?
ous, and that from the legislative hulls
they have been degraded to the police
court. They-do not pretend to conceal
tho foot that the "Three Blaok Crows"
have already vanished into something
"aablack os a crow," and with all their
feeal it is "love's labors lost." .
SPARTANBCRQ, S. C., July 12.-The|
sub-committee still continues its investi?
gation.- -Tba first-day the streets of tho
town were thronged with negroes eager
to testify. Their number has largely do
oreaaed, and it taxes the utmost ou?rgy
of Congressman. Wallace to oanvasa tho
back yards and kitchens ia order to keep
the machino going. He is the right mau
in the right place, however, and if the
cominiLleo u?O? ?Ot glv? ?Vid??CS
enough to hang every white man in tho
South, it will be no fault of bin.
The negroes are well satisfied with tho
part they are called ou to play. They
oon?ider it a great honor and muoh good
fortune to be summoned. They come
out with smiling faces, and one, showing
a roll of greenbacks in his greasy fingers,
with more than an average display of
teeth, was beard to say: "'Fore God,
masser, I let the Kines whip me agin for
ali dia money." .
The people her?'seem. anxious for the
committee to learn tho truth, and are in?
clined to aid them in their attempt. You
oannot meet a man but who will acknow?
ledge that many outrages have beeb com?
mitted; but, at the same time, that they
wera not done in hostility to the General
Government, but are only the extraordi?
nary, means by'which society protects it
solf.iu unsettled times. The people are
frieadly to the Federal Government, but
they do not hesitate to express their dis.
gust nod hatred, to their own State go
vernment. The sub-committee, under
stands thia feeling. They are taking
testimony concerning State affairs, and
when their report is made, the corruption
of State officiais will be given to the
world in extenuation of the many orimes
which have been perpetrated in this
State. So deeply has Mr. Van Trump,
the Democratic member of the commit?
tee, been impressed with tho terrible
oondition of the State goverumeut, that
he openly declares his intention of stump?
ing his native State upon this issue, and
arraigning the Radical party before tho
country as the authors and supporters of
a government where slaves rule their
former masters.

BOWEN AMONO HIS COLORED CONSTI?
TUENCY.-From au account ia tho News
of .tho Radical ward meetings in Charles?
too, Monday night, wo make the ioliow
ing interesting extr?bt:
In the'Fourth- ward? tho proceedings
weiro by no means harmonious, and o
whispering during tho day that there
waa going to be inn-in the Fourth ward
that night, us Bowo.i waa 'going to be.
there, oollected a crowd of discordant
spirits, who determined that celebrated
bigamist should not have things his own
way. 1 'The -meeting was called to order
by President Aleck Williams, colored,
aud tho long, narrow, hall was soon
crowded to suffocation by the excited
voters-a black mues, relieved here and
there by a light-colored scalawag or car?
pet-bagger. The meeting was disorderly
enough, and only one delegate had been
elooted when the .smouldering embers
burst into full blaze by, some one moving
that "Mr. Bowen/' who had just;qp
tored, be heard from. ?A hundred voices,
vooiferating ourses and erie? of "no,"
resounded, ??d i? a. moment u ?tr?g
?ling mass was swaying over the floor.
In the oonfasion dire, two men, said to
be drunk, had hit somebody, or enoh
other, and nothing like order could be
had until they were put,put.'
The Babel of voices continued, and nt
last the ohairman, hoarse with shouting
from his stand on tho table and gesticu?
lating like a .madman, announced that
Mr. Bo won would declino to run lor tho
oonvontion, in a short speech. The
would-be Congressman jumped on the
tablo and commenced to talk. The
meeting would not hear him, however,
and a dozon speakers aa loud an ho wore
talking at tho samo time. Bowen con?
cluded his unsatisfactory address and
jumped from the table.
Tho Savannah Advertiser, ilt3.se ri bin g

of tho engine, and chock-a-block with
live freight, the latter was headed for
tbo.rWhite Bluff road, making but a
abort halt in its passage through Dray?
ton street on account of the low pressure
of steam then on. A trip of about six
miles was made on the road, when the
engine returned to tho city, arriving
about half-past- S o'clock. Tho excur?
sionists were unanimous iu voting her a
number ono roadster, tho distance of one
mile haying been traversed on one occa?

A COLORED MAN HOUSE-WHITS HIS
HALF BROTHER.-James Qoodwin, a co?
lored waiter in a Meeting street restau?
rant, gave his half brother, Frank Bos?
tick, (on a visit from Columbia,) a severe
horse-whipping on Tuesday evening, in
Tradd street. Bostick, since bia arrival,
had become quito enamored of thu
pumpkin-oolored wife of Goodwin, and
had manifested a spirit of lavish regard
for her. He was remonstrated with by
the husband and wife, but would not de?
sist. On the night in question, Good
win, as ho entered tho premises where
his room is situated, heard soma one
using plaintive and persuasive tones of
tenderness "the while he picked his gui?
tar." It was more than he could endure,
and he made for the "family link" with
a stout horse-whip, which he plied oyer
his shoulders until they seethed with
sonorous music. Bostick fled into the
street, aud escaped fo parts unknown.

GOING TO LIBERIA.-We learn that a
large number of negroes-comprising
sixty or eighty families-in the viciuity

this County, have determined to emigrate
to Liberia, and are now making their ar?
rangements to ombark in tho vessel of

No PENSIONS POR SOUTHERN VETERANA.
The .'Washington Patriot soys: It is
soini-oiHoiully unpounped by tbo Oom
missioner of .Pensions, that in ndniinia
fcoring tho Anti of February 14, .1871,
granting pensions to the mu ri vorn of tho
war of 1812, ypen. witnesses testify to
the loyalty of a claimant, tbjeir own loy?
alty must bo BhofrnT5y*tbe"oeitiflcate of
an officer of tho United States Court, a
United States Commissioner, or an
officer of the Intornnl Revenue Bureau.
Tbe rulo applies only to tbe Boo th, and
no question is raised ut the. North.'
By this bigoted regulation, thero is to
bo ono law for the Northern poople. and
another for the Southorn. According to
the i usual -form heretofore in similar
canes, a elana ant was required to make
oath that he bad at no timo rendered
"aid and comfort" to the rebellion, and
to prove the same by the affidavits of
two disinterested witnesses, whose credi?
bility bad to be certified by the clerk of
a court of record. But uow the South?
ern soldier. ?B obliged to prove the loy?
alty of bis militasses by a certificate
which it may be impracticable to obtain.
A claimant may be. able to establish his
rights by twenty witnesses, and if they
happen voluntarily or compulsorily to
have aided tho rebellion, then the vete?
ran who fought for bis country is ex?
cluded from n pension. Human inge
uuity could hardly deviso n more wicksd
contrivance to deprivo old Southern
soldiers of their just rights. Tt is not
only mean, but malignant, and draws a
discrimination between thu veterans of
the North and Sontb which every can?
did iKind will donouuee as outrageous.
TheBe mon were engaged in war against
a foreign foe nearly half a century before
tho rebellion commenced, aud yot they
ire pursued with all the vindictive
malice of recent enemies. This is u sure
way of keeping thu wounds of strife
opou, and it could only have bceu con?
trived for some such unworthy purpose.
SouThBRN BAPTIST THEOLOOICAL SEMI?
NARY.-Our Baptist friends iu tho South
appear to havo determined ou tho re?
moval of tboir Theological Seminary
from Greouvdlo, South Carolina, where
it has been located for many years. We
nppreheud tho political condition of the
State has much to do with the move?
ment. In fact, it is only from the hope
of chango through some Hort of inter?
position not clearly definable, that every?
thing that is valuable and respectable
does not leave the State. Nobody and
nothing can prosper ander snob au infa?
mous government as that of South Ca?
rolina, and wero it tho only condemna?
tion ngainst the Radical party, it i*
enough tn sink it to au eternal perdition.
The telegraph announced several days
ago that the Baptists of Kentucky had
made a very liberal bid and were using
very great exertions to have the seminary
removed to that State. Wo havo also
beard it intimated that Georgia is a
strong bidder for it, and, if successful,
the institution will be annexed to Maoou
University, and consequently be located
a,l Maoou. We wish our Baptist friends
in this State success in their undertak?
ing. Georgia is far moro central and
convenient than Kentucky, and with a
proper consideration is likely to win the
prize.--Savannah Republican.
A TUMOR AS LABOE AS AN ORANOE
FOUND IN A MAN'S BRAIN.-About six

he began gradually to loso bis mindi ou?
til finally be lapsed into a state of com?
plete stupor. Medicine proved of uo
avail, aud death came to his relief last
Tuesday. The medical staff, anxious to
bo enlightened with regard to the strange
case, performed a post mortem examina?
tion under the direction of tho visiting
physician in charge, a man of high ana?
tomical attainments. In the course of
tho examination, they found that the
base and back part of tho skull were
very much thinned by tho pressure of a
tumor SB large as an orange, nod whioh,
OD examination, proved to bo what tho
doctors call nu aneurism-i. e , a dilated
blood-vessel, situated in a curious net?
