Tu our judgment, mnob useless dhious eion has been indulged in with respeot to the "new departure," and the proper platform to be adopted by as in the uext canvass. We believe that the true issue is well enough understood. No plat? form, no sot of resolutions, are essen? tial. The Savannah Nows aaye: "In tho coming Presidential election, the ques? tion of the perpetuity of our republican form of governraeut will lo .-submitted to the people-the issue will wo Demo? cracy, the Constitution and State rights, or Radicalism, centralization and despot? ism. The decision roses wi tu eu o peo? ple, and will not be influenoed by the platforms of intriguing, abu filing politi? cians." This is the issne briefly stated; this the substance of the controversy. OF INTEBEST TO COTTON PLANTERS. We learn from the "Money" article of. the Now York Journal of Commerce, of .he loth instant, that ft late legal deci? sion, if honestly carried out by the Fed? eral Executive Government, will restore to cotton planters a small portion of the tax on cotton unjustly extorted from them in 1866-'67 und '68. Inasmuch as the duty was laid by Act of Congress ?pon ootton, and not upon burlap co? vers, cotton bagging, iron ties, or rope, snit was oommenoed against the Govern? ment, and a deoision reached that the tax was only collectable on the net weight. The tare usually 'ranges from twenty-six to thirty pounds per bale, and it is said the Deportment )ias'compro? mised on an allowance of 80 cents per bale. Whether this concession is gen? eral, or the refund will only be made to those who paid under protest, remains to be seen. It .is easy to see. that if 4,000,000 bales paid* the tax, and the re* fuud is made on each, then the claim? ants will bo entitled " to upwards of 83,000,000. His ox-Imperial Majesty of Franco spends a portion of his now superabund? ant leisuro timo in visiting the arsenals of England, taking especial delight in the cannon foundries, where all the new improvements in artillery are fully exhi? bited to the exile. ? Time was, and not so long ago either, when Louis Napoleon was considered au infallible authority on.the subject of cannons. Years ago, his rifled field gnus Ailed the military world with wonder. Later, he thought to terrify his enemies with the American Gatling gun,, under its French appella? tion of mitrailleuse, and, finally, this inventor of destructive artillery took the field, .with all of his improved guns, only to be speedily and ignominiously . de? feated. If i? candid mood, tho ex-Em? peror might tell his British hosts that tho best of guns avail nothing without stout-hearted men to work thom aud skilled officers to direct their operations. In his exculpatory pamphlet on his last disastrous campaign, Louis Napoleon frankly acknowledged that his troops were defeated by the skillful manner in which their opponents managed their artillery. And Sedan proved to the world that an Emperor with capital ideas on cannon may have wretohed notions as to their proper use and disposition in battle. The British chaperones of the orownless monaroh cannot fail to be convinced that improved artillery alone cannot save a dynasty, nor successfully defend a State. TUE MARION RIOT CASK.-At a meet . ing of the citizens of Marion, a commit? tee was appointed to report the facts of the case in reference to the action of Gov. Scott, in an alleged abuse cf the pardoning power. The committee re? ported the facts and submitted the fol? lowing resolutions,* which were adopted: "Resolved, That it is the opinion of this meeting that Gov. Ri K. Scott bas grossly abnicd the pardoning power in this instauoe. "2. That no pardon should ever bo Sauted by the Governor of the State fore the sentence of tho oonrt is pub? lished, and whilst the convicts are in open contempt of the conrt. "3. That, in the opinion of this meet? ing, peace and good order can never be preserved in tue State, whilst persons convicted of such offences can be par? doned upon such flimsy evidence aud upon the ory of party. "4. That the statements published in the Columbia Union, to justify the par \ don of the rioters by Gov. Scott, are not sustained by the evidence adduced on tho stand, and are totally at. variance with the facts of the case." The robbery of a satchel containing 8150,000, at the depot at Harrisburg, Pa. ,,ia reported. It is said that the gen? tleman who had the satchel carelessly left it auder the seat of the'ear while he went to get some rofrshments. There is no trace of the robber. ' DEATH OP MR?.

The centro, column ot the new passeuger depot, on Loyd street, was moved from its position, the lower eud being entirely off the granite base, and the zino arob above was wrenched and cracked. Considerable damage was indicted on household furniture by tho rain and hail ben ting iu at raised win? dows. Tho two-room house recently elevated from tho ground, of Mr. Samuel Ogle tree, on Washington street, w?s raised from the pillars and totally wrecked. The roof is underneath, the wall and weather-boarding on top. Mr. Ggleiree, his wife and a child eighteen months old, were in the bouse at the tinao. Slr. Oglotreo was out in the back of the head and on tho chook bone, and one eye was terribly lacerated with splinters. He is now senseless, and h IR recovery-is con? sidered doubtful.

Mrs. Ash, the wife of John H. Ash, formerly of Savannah, killed her three little children and afterwords committed suicide by administering o sufficient quantity of strychnine to .pro? duce almost instantaneous death. Mrs. Ash, formerly Miss Laura Dasher, nf -Effingham County, has, for a short timo past, been slightly derauged. No seri? ous apprehension waa felt, although her husband continued to keep a strict watch over her oondnat. A short time previous ho had purchased a small bottle of strychnine for tho purpose of destroying tho rats and dogs that were rapidly kill? ing off their poultry. Sunday "night all went to bed os usual. Mr. Ash took all three of the ahildroo in bed with him? self and his wife. Mr. Qeorge Patter? son, a friend and relative of Mrs. Ash's, occupied nn adjoining room. About 3 o'clook, he and Mr. Ash wore aroused by the ories of two of the . children, and entering the room, found Mrs. Ash iu the not of taking a spoon from the mouth of the oldest child, a little girl, who had strugglqd and resisted until her ories woke her father and his friend, both of whom, feeling alarmed, asked her what she was doing. She replied: "Only giving the children a little powder, and I um afraid I have not given them enough." Mr. Ash, tasting the powder which he found on the mouth of one of tho children, discovered that it was quito bitter. It wita but a short time after this before the mother, a young woman about twenty-five years old, and hor three interesting little children, two girls and one boy, wore lying stiff and cold in the arms of death. Dying in rapid succession, the mother, although the first to take the poison, lived to seo her children all dio, and then followed them herself. The afflicted father held Ina little ones and his wife in his arms till they breathed their last. The time was toe short from the discovery of the deed to procure any aid, ni th o ugh a physician was immediately sent for. He arrifed in time to save tho father, who, in his efforts to discover what the drug was, had swallowed enough to render his condition dangerous. SUDDEN DEATH.-On Monday last, tho second son of Mr. Sol. C. Harman, a promising ohild of about ten years, carno to a most melancholy and sudden death. He had been playing in a pile of cotton seed, and being missed at din? ner, upon search he wu found smothered in tho cotton seed. He had grabbled out a perpendicular hole in the seed about the size of his body, and the poor little fellow was found with his head down in the hole.

The following communication was presented and read : To the Honorable Mayor and Aldermen of the City of Columbia. GENTLEMEN: One of tho most urgent publio wanta that our oity feels is that of a commodious hospital, properly organized, officered by skilled mon, and furnished with the proper appliauoes for the successful treatment of the siok and thoso requiring surgioal aid. During my official term as City Physioinn, my attention was particularly directed to this fact, and since that period, tho hope of being able to develop some arrange? ment, by which this want could bo sup? plied,' has been the source of constant and serious reflection. Apart from the interest that I possess in seeing it sup? plied, as a physician, I have the addi' tional incentive of having my n?tlvi city in no ways boh i nd her sister ci tief in everything that appertains to public uhuriiibe uud liberality. Knowing th? impoverished condition of the city, 1 felt that it was impossible for it to oreo and endow such an institution as wouh fulfil the desired ends. Accordingly, in? attention was directed to tho State, am I hope that we will be uble to obtain i by proper efforts. The first great iten in the casu is a building suited to tb purpose. This, I think, can bo roadil; had. It is universally admitted that tb College Chapel, ut th? foot of Sumte street, is entirely worthless for the put pose for which it'was erooted, and is o present a mero iuoumbrnnoe and eye sore. Neither is there any reasouabl prospect of its being of any. future sei vioe to the State. Should we be able t obtain a grant of this building from tb Legislature, and also an nppropriatio for the proper fitting of it np, we aa make, of it as comfortable and eligible hospital as eau be found in the Unioi Also, such legislation as will be neoessar to organize a proper corps of nursei medical attendants, &o., must be sough This can surely be obtained, as I am we assured that tho more maturely th question is weighed, the greater will i importance appear. This institutio should be made a - separate aud iud pendent institution-ono which will po sess its own organization, its peoulii officers, looking to no one but tho tru tees and board of visitors, and huvir nothing but the wei?are sud prosperil of their institution and its inmates j heart. Should it be allowed to bo brougl I into existence as a mere caudal appen nge to the University, its usefulness w be ns. nothiug. You aro well a war geutlemen, that the present systom rendering medical and surgical atteutic to the poor is totally iuudequato to mo the demands made upon it. Many wb nuder a different system, might be i lieved, under the present are not ai cannot be. At every turn, this fa stares ns in the face; and whilst wortl objects are unable to obtain nid, u worthy ones become a burthen to tl oity. Some chango must soon be mad uud can you find a better opportuui than this? I am satisfied that tho plan I offer yi is no visionary one. It is in every wi both practical and practicable. Wo ha but to exert ourselves, and a great gc will bo effected-one which will be lasting monument to those who carry out. With these few and imperfect roraarl I will now conclude, hoping that th may meet your approbation and sac tiou; and that my sinoero aud houest c siro to benefit our city and tho sick po thereof may be my excuse for iuttudi upon your time. I will finish by sayic should you see fit to aot upon them, a need auy further suggestions from me will be happy at uny time to give thei I remain, respectfully yours, Q. S. TREZEVANT, M. D.

Wo are pleased to see that a movement, having for its object , the establish ment of a thoroughly-organized, public hos? pital, has at last been inaugurated. Dr. George S. Trezevant, ns will bo seen by the proceedings bf the City Council, published this morning, brought to their attention a plan by. which we think this great desideratum, may be obtained. It is aa follows: That a grant pf the college chapel, situated at tho foot of Sumter street, which has never been of any use since its erection, be obtained from the Legislature, and suoh an appropriation as may be necessary to fit it up. That it be supported by a joint appropriation from the. State and oity, and be orga? nized as on independent institution,' such as the lnnatio asylum, or any other publia charity; to bounder the supervi? sion of a board of trustees, appointed jointly by the city and L?gislature. This body to appoint the officers, viz: an attending physician and surgeon, and a bouse apothecary, who can also do.tho dispensing of the city to the siok who are treated at home. The doctor's experi? ence in hospital service, as well as that derived from his former position aa City Physician, well qualify him for giving reliable advice in this matter. We understand that he already has the pro? mise of all the assistance in their power from influential members of the Legis? lature, os well OB tho approbation of many of oar leading citizens.
