? - COLUMBIA... jy . ' 8nnday Morning, Augnat' 6.1871. ' ? ; Franco. . The late elections in France present a strange ' phenomenon; the Government ia sustained, and apparently the peoplo of Franco are good Bepublioans. No one who knows uuything of the political views of tho French people can believe for a moment that those views ar? cor? rectly represented by the late decision at tho polls. It-is notorious that tuero uto foot,parties among them*-thy Bourbon ists, the Orlonniuts, the Napolooniets, Bud tho Bop ubi ?cuni). These again aro all split.into cliques, especially .the lost, which embraces men. of. every shade of political ideas*, from tUe very roo?orate, who were always good supporters of the Orleanisfr dynasty, to tho wrotcheB who harangue tho Internationals,, and. whose main dependence for reforming France and tho whole world is petrolodm. Thiers ls jast now at the head of the Oo vorn mont, and is probably the best tuan who could occupy .that position. He io a man who has always supported a 'constitutional monarchy as near as pos? sible, framed upon the modal of that of 'England. With such a record during a lung lifo, of ooaree his pr?sent profes ' stops of attachment to a republio aro all . humbug, and. they are BO regarded by the French people. Then, why has hie . Government sailing under falsa colon ' been so well supported? Tho answer ii plain. Thiers is the representativo o . the OrloauB party, tho ona which con tains tho larger portion of the merchants - bankers and juan u fae turora of the'ro pubHo'(?) . This party is also as firm i supporter of law and order os the Boar boni st or NopoJeonist* 'Therefore thost last two have for the present agreed ti eapporfc Thiers and his government, ii - oirder to keep down the bloody Oom mane; while the moderato Republican do so for tho same reasons. A very larg majority of tho' peoplo of Franco, ac cord i ugly, appear to endorso a'go vern ment which ?B the . first choice of on]; about twenty, per cont, of-the voters it even of BO many "as this fmotion This shows the good eon se of tho el ec tors-or rather of their leaders-to bc cept the situation, and not, by attempt ing to put this or that faction in po wei to plunge the whole oouutry into anotht reyolutiou. Yet ouch a slate of thing is, in its nature, temporary; and whe tho present political pressure shall hav been removed, we shall see the old poi tisan Animosities revive, abd no onq aa now divine what will bo the result. Th probability is. that, for many years t como, Franco will be in a condition nc to give uneasiness to any of tho otb? nations of Europe. "Nevertheless, s terrible have been the many disostei suffered by yielding to tho ambition < party leaders, that we hope - her poop' will be careful in future- not to be draw . into another contest,.bat turn their a tont?on to developing the resources < their'moat beautiful country; by whie oourse alone ?an -France again hope I become great, ac d powerful.

Tbs Jacksonville Union is greatly alarmed by the projoct of a State Tax-Payers' Con? vention, the sole objeot of which is to deviso Ways and means of saving, the property of tho poople and driving out ! the rogues who' are plundering thom. A, Republican property-boldor isas much interested ns a Demooratio property holder, and no honest Republican can suffer from the movement. The Union has a tight - grip upon tho public trea? sury, and is feathering its nest out of the hard earnings of tao people; its opposi? tion to any honest gathering looking to economy and good government is to bo expected. The convention refused to have anything partisan about it. It is simply a conference of honest mon of I all parties on tho best plan for expelling thieves and saving the property o! the peoplo from wholesale confiscation. Let the Union squirm. We know it hurts; but then the peoplo of Florida intend to look after their own iutorests in futuro interests that tho "thieving enrpot-bng gora" have concluded aro only proper subjects of plunder. . ? ^ ? ? .AFFAIRS IN NOBTH CABOIJINA.-A cor? respondent of tho Augusta Chronicle and] \ Sentinel, writing from Ruthorfordton, N. I O., says: Mon of omiueai worth aud high stand I ing have been bunted, seized and incar? cerated io an old jail without any legal prooess, without warning, or an .open accusation, by the Radicals and United States troops stationed there. Sixty men are -at this moment lu jail, impri? soned without any law or trial, by the despotism of the Ka Klux bill. ?ot this I is the laud of liberty 1 ' Young men who try to cultivate a mou stach o itt. embryo, middle-aged mea. aud even those whose heads are white with age, aro incarce? rated, because it is alleged that they aro the fearful, the ubiquitous Ku Klux. .A young-man of brilliant promise, possessed of rare intellectual endow? ments, a gentleman of refinement and good family, Mr. Randolph S--h, has been immured for the last two weeks in an iron cag?, in company with seven, bia ok negroes, (of African sc ont,) in Ruthorfordton jail, because the Rads say he is a Ku Klux chief, {mir ab ile *diclu.) 33,000 bail was offered by his father and friends, yet the United States Mar? shal, Sooggins, an ignorant man, with an eighth of. an idea ia his head, refuses to release him. They are not .satisfied i u their diaboli? cal, cowardly work, and aro every day making .arrests,- although' tho jail is Crowded. The It ad leal lender J in this "reign of terror" are as poor and despi? cable in character as in purso, and wish to fill the -latter regardless of tho con? tempt of all honest mea. The United States Marshal, Sooggins, more fit as a convict in a penitentiary than as a mar? shal, was a negro driver or overseer for my father. The Radical Judge, Logan, who resides in Ruthorfordton, is tho motive power. -The Radicals say that they have sufficient proof to convict these sixty mea of belonging to the Ka Klux, and that four of the mea in that clan have divulged the secrets and given them the -names. They intend to curry them to Raleigh, a distance of 240 miles. lt is true that two men have been abused and whipped by some unknown parties. One of them, Justice, went to Washington, gave an exaggerated ac? count of it and swore a lie before the Oongressioaal Committee. The trae se? cret of the arrest is this: There will, next week, be aa electioa throughout this State, and the Radicals wish to curry tho election by intimidation and tho bayonet. y importe, they will at last reap the bit? ter fruit of their own despotism in North Carolina, as their prototype, Gov. Hol? den, has. -Thirty-nine highly respectable white moa were carried auder guard lo Raleigh three weeks ago, from Rutherford Coun? ty, imprisoned there ten days nod then released on ?30,000 bail, because one black negro, a sweet-saented villain, was whipped ooo night for his rascality by unknown parties. Almost every maa eau prove his innoceaoe, yet these mea were carried to Raleigh, 210 milos, mere? ly up bu suspicion. "Even virtue itself escapes not calumnious strokes." - It is a trite old aphorism, "whom tho j gods wish to , destroy they . first make 1 mad." Perhaps this is appropriate to; the Radical leaders.

[Charleston Courier. AN OUTIUOEOUS MuitDBnl-Wo learn, from a reliublu source, intelligence UH tu a horrible murdin- which was committed, on Tuesday night last, upon thc planta? tion of Trial Justice W. Li. W. Riley. Tho victim was a colored mun, named John Berry. The perpetrators uro nu known. The facts are those: On Tues? day night last, about 12' o'clock, four white mcu visited tho plaoe of Mr. Kiley. They first went to. the house of Roubin Jamison, a colored mau, and demanded that he should tako them to the house of John Berry. Jamison was frightened, and, of ?ourse, obeyed the command of the midnight assassin. Jutit as they nearad tho house of tho deceased, he, iu the meautime, getting tho alarm, run out of the baok door. Before he got far from his house, be received two or three loads of buak-shot in hi M back; which killed him instantly. Trial Jus? tice Riley summoned n jury bf inquest, anda verdict was rendered in accordance with the faots. What caused these as? sassins to thus murder a respectable und inoffensive citizen, we forbear to conjec? ture until we reoeive further intelligence. Our informants tell ns that Berry was ao industrious and hard-working mau, and never did any one an injury. [Orangeburg News. ? . -? MATTERS IN FAIRFIELD.-Mr. Washing? ton Mason, of thia Oouuty, while clean? ing up some bottom land a few days ago, killed 191 moccasins in two - days, with ten .banda. This is the biggest snake killing that has ever occurred in this County. On Monday last, a negro man on the 5imitation of Mr. Watt Brioo, near bnguesville, whipped his little child to death. . An inquest was held, but the ohtld was in uuoh a decomposed ?tate that the jury was unable to reuder a ver? dict. . The child was only two years old. No arrest has been made. From a private letter received from Fens tor vi Ho, in this County, we learn that the colored church near Maj. C. W. Fauoctt's store was burned Saturday night, the 29th ult. A negro woman liv? ing near by came to her door, together with her h unhand, to witness the fire; tho woman was killed and her husband badly wounded by parties outside, it was undoubtedly thu act of negroes who had seceded from thc church. [ Winnsboro News. Among the many sad features of the terrible ferry boat explosion in New York, is that involved in the almost en? tire extermination of several families of three or more p?rsous, who w?re passen? gers on the boat at the time. In at least two cases, tho list of the dead and in? jured shows that father, mother and children were all either killed outright, or were so wounded or scalded that reco? very will be impossible. Coming so soon upon the excitement caused in New York by tho recent riot, the detaih of this sickening tragedy of the Westfield have produced a profound and painful impression in that city. A calamity of this kind, which appears to havo been the result of criminal negligence and official incompetency combined, rather than of a mere chance, which could not bo guarded against, is not "without its value, dear-bought though it be, .if it should oompel a closer and more faithful observance of their duties by boiler in? spectors and by engineers and others who have the destructive monster of steam in oharge. Doubtless some good effeot, in the way of investigation into the oondition of other boats, will follow this fearful, and, as it seems, criminal loss of life. DBATH OF PHCSRB CA nr.-A telegram from New York announces the death of Miss Phobo Cary, younger sister of Alice Cary, whose death occurred- but a few months aero. Phoebe was the com? panion in literatnre as well as in life of her gifted sister, and jointly with ber brought out in 1850 a volamo of poems.

The sisters were natives of Ohio, being oom near Cincinnati. Their early ad? vantages were very poor, and it may be mid that they were practically self-odu sated.

DIPTHEMA COKED WITH LEMON JUICE. Some time ago, Dr. Rovillout, in a paper presented tp the French Academy of Medicine, asserted that lemon juice is ono of tho most efficacious medicines wbioh can be applied to diptheria, and ho relates that, when a dresser in the hospital, his own life was saved by this timely application. Ho got'three dozeu lemons, and gurgled his throat with juice, swallowing a little at the same limo, in order to act on the moro deep Rented parts. The Doctor has noted nu? merous casos of complete success ob? tained by this method of treatment. A few nights since, a party of disguised mon visited the house of Mr. Kotiert Holliday,' in Jackson County, and at? tempted to kill him, firing a great num? ber of shots into his bouse. If there was any politics iu the affair, the assail? ants must have been Radicals, as Mr. Holliday ?B a staunch Democrat.

The doblo trees ' in front and around the church edition were planted by Father Bermingham. . He' is now engaged, in addition.to hin other duties, in erecting a 'church on Sullivan's Island, tb be oalled "St. Mary, Star of the Sea." Tho reconstruction of Sullivan's Island after - the war is mainly due to the zeal add. offorts of tho reverend father, and. all , that ho promised is about being fulfilled, in the erection of the first publie'build? ing-a beautiful Gothic ohurch. The old island will always be. an attractive spot, especially . for those, who seek, health or recreation, aside from its his- * torio importance. Dr.-B. will accept contributions from all classes of dar citi? zens id aid of bia' good work. We ex tract tho following from a circular re? cently issued by Father B., relative to Sullivan^ Islaud: ."WJien first I visited the island, niter the war, desolation was visible. Ttie, long rango of military mounds looked bleak and bald; numerous'ponds filled . . up the hollows, from which the sand and . earth that composed tho mounds were taken. Tho tramp of soldiers, the smoko. ' and blaze nf cannon, that gave life to all before, bad now ceased; and it seemed as if Mars himself bad lost his helmet, and i that tho genius of war, with, saddened aspect, was mourning with him over tho * heroic vanquished Confederates. The old woodoo Catholic Church was the only public building that remained; and though invaded by the tide, she still reigned ss a lonely -queen among the remnant shanty dwellings. A'few poor families,. mostly Catholics, were nearly tho only inhabitants. "They clang, to their homos, and though surrendered, did not evacuate. As no clergyman . could be spared from our city churches on Sundays, I visited them periodically myself. This' gave mo tho opportunity ', of viewing the island as'a citizen aa well, aa a priest. .1 soon .formed my own . ideas of the condition, position and fu? turo prospects ' of Sullivan's Island; of its salubrious. climate, its wide and lengthy beach, its broad Atlantiobillows, I was convinced that the mounds would, . ' ere long, be leveled; . that the ponds' would.be filled; and that the present de? solation only forboded-like", wno ter the summer-a bright and prosperous futuro. .' Under this conviction, I bought' au eli- . gible. lot for oar much needed new Cath? olic ohurCh. ' j When I visited Washing? ton, I took the occasion of calling on Geo. Schofield,' thea. Secretary bf War. I mentioned to him my impressions in regard to Sullivan's Island, and my in- - tenthill to build a. church on-our lot, -near Fort Moultrie. Ho had tho con? sideration to give, aa a commencement, the atones and bricks scattered id and. around tho fort, and the bricks in the j ruins of the United States, did commis- - ' I sary office^ On my return, the islanders, Catholics and Protestants, gathered , around me with mules, carts and neoes i sary i m piemonte. Headed by his Honor John Toohey, Intendant of Sullivans Island, and by Sergt. O'Brian, the United States officer in charge of tho . gaard ai Fort Moultrie, these liberal and . gener?os citizens transferred the stones .-. . and the bricks? to my lot in quick -time? and, I may say, without charge. . Under God's blessing, that contribution WHS a guarantee that the new church woatd be built; that the population would in- . crease, and that an owner would soon ... occupy every lot on the island.

And thus, 'tho Lord working -xith all,' (Mark, 16, 20,) I Lave the honor of commencing tbe reconstruction of Sullivan's Island, and of inviting public attention to what . is, beyond doubt, a placo of great public . interest. What. I anticipated above is already nearly realized. Most of the lots are owned and are .being fenced. The ponds are fast disappearing.
