COLUMBIA. S. C. Friday Morning:, September 15,1871. "WHAT THE SOUTH NEEDS."-Under thia caption the Now York 7W?UII? lately suggested a sob-division by exact sur? reys of landed properties, and associated plans for advertising eligible parcels of ground and for inviting purchasers and emigrants from Europe. But tho Now Orleaus Commercial Bulletin thiuks somo other conditions must be hud to rouder Buch expedients finally effective, nud nearly all thososupplemuutul conditions, it says, aro comprehended in good go verument. Political ubuscs, aud, above all, oppressive taxation, may drive labor away after it comes. Secure good go vorumont, and tho South, says tho Bulle? tin, "will certainly nfc length obtain whut abe needs in tho way of moro people, moro skill, more diversity of industry, moro entorpriso and thrift, moro mills, moro shops, more farms, more factories, moro furnaces and all tho money de? manded for the movement of her vaned products will flow in upon her." The Nation, (Republican,) having beet] taken to task by a Detroit political cor? respondent, touching its opposition ol Boutweli, gives reasons for its laok ol faith in that ambitious financier. In it; indictment of Boutweli, there aro sevo ral counts, each of which must bo nc oepted as oouutingone. They run thus L Unfitness. 2. His opposition to civi service reform. 3. His narrowness uuc ignorance-as displayed in his belief astounding in a Secretary of the Trea i sary, that there is no such thing as 1 science of political economy, and no us< in statistics. 4. His unbusiness-lik financial expedients und their "syndi cate" cost to tho Treasury. 5. His fail nro to make any efforts for a retnrn t specie payments. G. His disregard 0 tho law of the land, as openly avowed 01 several occasions. 7. His evasions an< misrepresentations. 8. His taking awa, the foreign banking business of tho Gc vernmont from the Barings, one of th greatest banking firms in the world which had for nearly a century transad ed It with probity and honor, and givin it suddenly Lo a new and oouiparntivol unknown firm, which first raised it head during the gold excitement of th war, and has had a footing in Karo;: only for a few months. The great conflict now in progress ia war of the people against the Rep ubi can party. It is n misnomer to call tl "opposition the Democratic party, b oause it is properly the party of oppos tion, and, is composed of all men wi are hostile to aggression, usurpation an fraud. We kuow of no campaign anal goos to it since thut of 1840, wheu 11 names were smothered in tho cry of hat eider; when songs were substituted fi argument, and the sum of political r form consisted of "Tippeoanoo and Tylor, too," Aud of nothing more. At this time, then, it is sentiment exclusively; tl heart element that Is involved, and n the brain element. The public mind h passed apon the errors and crimes the Republican party, and discussion oat of place in the present canvass. T trial hos been had, condemnation h been pronounced and sentence passe The usurping Ulysses, with his nggrc sivo Congress at his heels, is an exact 1 minder of his prototype, the great co demoed of that celebrated epooh, . "Yan, Yan, Van, is a used up man." Let there be no idlo prate, therefoi about Conservative or Democratic, any other principles, for all principle ontraged, and all decency defied by t usurping brood that were fastened upi the country by the calamities of wi who*o declaration of principles, j scribed upon their political plalfon consists of ono brief word-spoliutic Let none agree with the spoiler, but c pel him with the ballot, us with fire u sword. Our Greenville correspondent wril as follows of the new munioipal bom recently elected for that growing city: Should the now board conduct the 1 fairs of the corporation as succossfu as their predecessors, they will me (what is seldom extended to those w work gratuitously for the public) t thanks of their fellow-citizens.

The expose which bas boen lately mudo, and whiob is attracting world-wide atten? tion, as shown by tho comments of the English as well as of our own press, of financial corruption and "ring" manage? ment in Now York city, is curiously and suggestively like to that which bas been repeatedly inado of a similar state of things iu various Southern Stuten. The iudiguaut resolutions of tho late citizens' meeting at Cooper Institute echo almost literally the complaints whiob, fur three yours past, the Southern press and peo? ple have been uttering in tho ours of t>io uutiou. Thu faot Unit tho Republican party has boen mostly indifferent to tho spectacle presented ut thu South, while it is vexed to its inmost soul nt thc ru oital of tho alleged misdoings of Tweed, Connolly & Co., ouly illustrates thu dif? ference it multes whose ox is gored. Il always does make a difference in politics, although it makes nono in morals, aud should maleo noue in the judgment of honest and putriotio mon, which side does tho stealing. In New York Turn many is accused of plundering tho pub? lic to enrich itsolf uud to maintain tho supremacy of the D?mocratie party. The wholesale robberies of tho State go? vernments uud people at thu South have been excused und palliated, if not justi? fied, because tho men who perpetrated them wero of unblemished "loyulty," aud it was by such menus that tho per? petuity of "carpet-bag" rule and Repub? lican ascendency was to bo secured. That our renders may i migo how closely thu parallel holds, witli the differ? ence, if any, that tho greater enormities and rascalities will be found to bavo been committed ut the South, wu invite atten? tion to n few figures tuken from trust? worthy sources. Tho results in Now York, as summed up by a Republicau authority, may bo stated ns follows: lu January, 1HG?-two years and u half ago -the total city aud Conn tv debt was, iu round numbers, $2!),OOO,OOO. In Octo? ber, 1870-not quite a year ago-it was $55,000,000. Lust May it was $82,000, 000, and ut tho citizens' meetiug it wits estimated to amount, ou tho 1st of Sep? tember, to 8113,000,000. At tho break? ing out of tho war the State debt of Louisiuna was$10,000,000; in 18G8 it was $14,500,000; in 1870 it was $41,000.000, and on the 1st of last Juno it was $49, 000,000. lu tho name interval tuxes had iucrensed from 29 cents to $1.45 on the $100, and this your will amount to con? siderably moro than $2; while by the loss of slaves; tho depreciation of laud ami the devastations of the war, taxable property had greatly diminished. To show how tho monoy has gone, before 1800, a sixty days' session of the Legis? lature cost in Louisiana from $1(J0,000 tc $200,000. The regular aud extra session of 1870 cost more than $750,000, and th? regular Kessiau of 1S71 cost moro thar $000,030. In South Carolina, us sh o wi by the exhibit prepared by tho Tax-pay? ers' Convention, taxes, in 1870, reachet $2,000,000, as against $100,000 befon the war, and this iu the face of :1K greatly impoverished condition of th? State; while to show the superior cost o "scalawag" and "carpet-bag" legislation a session of tho Legislature which ii 1805 cost $45,850, to 1871 cost 8100,000 and the State debt from having beeu no minni before the war is uow about $0, 000,000. if we take the case of a State wilie! emerged earlier from "the bonds o wickedness and gall of iniquity" of so cession than either of those named, nut enjoyed earlier the benefits of Republi eau rulo, the State debt of Touuesse? has increased from $5,325,158 iu 1801 to $42.852.G52 in 1871-an increase o 837,527,494- mainly sinco reooustruc tion begun. The New York Nation commenting npon the figures from Lou isiana, above given, makes thia irani acknowledgment: "The State ia, ii short, as North Carolina bas boen, n South Carolina has been, and as nenrl; every Southern State has been, the prey since 18G5, of grossly and shameless!; corrupt governments, whose officer have made fortunes, and of rings o railroad and other speculators." All th' Southern States have not suffered equal ly, it is true, but not one bas whol); escaped. The history of Radical mis government in the South recalls that o the worst, period of Romau proconsul a government, when extortions like thos of the Quaestor Verres, in Sicily, fur nighed an immortal text for the indig nant eloquence of Cicero. Io moder! times, it finds its only parallel ia th policy which Spain bus remorseless! pursued towards her colonies, furrniuj them out among political favorites um needy uti venturers, if it does not eve rival the experience of Mexico and Peri in the bunds of tho coiiquisladorei Every word of indignant protest nm denunciation contained in tho r?solu tious passed by the New York citizen! meeting in reference to their own muni cipal grievances, is appropriate to th condition of the South, fleeced nm plundered by its usurping rulers; or, if higher strain of feeling be invoked, i will find fitting expression in thu lau guage iu which ojsX fore-fathers recite? some of tho oppressions of the Britisl King: "He hus crectad u multitude o now offices, and sent hither swarms o officers to harass our people and eat ou their substance. Ho has kept anion, us, ia time of peuce, standing annie? without the consent of our Legislature* He has atTuotod to render the militar, independent of and superior to the oivi power." The history of Con gressin nu reconstruction and Ku Klux legislatioi could not be better epitomized, aud it i in pursuance of this policy that tho loen governments have been created and ur hold which have devoured tho sunshine of tho Southern people and saddle them with such enormous burdens c debt. Wo do not cite these facts as fin nishing any answer to tho well-grouudo complaints of tho tax-payers uud prc perty-holdors of New York city. Rut i tho midst of all this Republican part clamor upon the subject of tho wicked uces and greed of Tammany, it is well t remember these fruits of unrestricted and uncontrolled Republican adminis? tration in the South. Who ever desires to be impartial and to preserve a judicial temper in such questions, will look at both sides of the picture. [Ballimore Sun. A O ard. COLUMBIA, S. C., Sept. 14, 1871. Mit.

Bm STEAMSHIP-UKI CAIMIO.-Those I of our readers who know what an im? mense capacity thc steamship Georgia has, mid tho hundreds of tons of freight necessary to fill ber up, will ho stir priced to know that while tho "poko-your-noso iuto-other-peoplo's lui-micss .society" uro endeavoring to create tho impression that Ibero is un business doing in Charleston, tho Georgia comes ulong with about enough cargo to lom! thu Savannah steamers Len mid Virgo uud tho half dozen craft that flit in ami ont of tho shallow waters of Capo Fear Uiver. Goods were going to tho rail? road, yesterday, ou tho "double quick," for tho 50? freight depots between Charleston, Knoxville, Nashville, Jlein ph's, Montgomery, Selma, Macon, At? lanta, Augusta and Columbia. Over the whole cotton belt, tho Georgia's con? signees wcro scattered-? perfect uva lauoho of general merchandise to all points-to provo that Charleston sur? vives tho evil reports of her nearest neighbors. Wo notice by tho advertiso meut of the agents that tho Georgia is wanted ut tho New* York end, with all the fleet, to meet the demands of ship? pers there, and as tho cotton crup is not moving yet in full force, tho Georgia will sail ou Friday afternoon, at3 o'clock, so as to report fur the lurge freights of next week. It is hardly necessary to add that thu steam lines to all Northern ports aro running regularly, and consignees eau have timo bills of lading if they wish.-Ckarleston Courier. Ix KEEI'INO WITH TUR TIMES.-We leam from Mr. Osborne Schumpurt, who was deputized to watt upon thu legalized board in Columbia, for the purpose of having commissions made out for our newly elected County Commissioners, that he failed to accomplish his purpose. Ont of the seven coustiluling thc board; four worn iu tho city, and these would have made a quorum, but two of the number-Neuglo anti Moses, tho young? er-refused to meet or agree to the granting a commission. Mr. Soli?mpert related much that was naitl hy ihe.se mulish and determined Radicals of thu board, und tho efforts of Gov. Scott to reconcile matters, but as thc result is the only point in tho matter, wo omit all else and simply say that he failed, und tho reason assigned was that thorn was too much Ku Klux in Newberry County; that tho defaulting members resigned-a mistake and n falsehood, for they never resigued, but were indicted and found guilty and imprisoned; and that the elec? tion for the present officers was curried by the same influence. We simply say that this action of Nesgle n.nd Moses is a base subterfuge, aud shows that there is neither honesty, justice nor fair deal? ing in them, and how could it be looked for, for it was never there. [ Hewberry Herald. BitOKB JAIL.-About 1 o'clock last Sa? turday morning it was discovered by tho gourd at the jail that some of tho pri? soners were skedaddling from the rear. Owing to the darkness and the position of the guard on thu porch, the vantage was with the fleeing criminals, who es? caped through tho favoring bolds. Seve? ral shots were fired which resulted only in the hasty return to his cell of thu last escaping, whose feelings were not strong enough to rush before the whizzing bul? lets below. Tho four who escaped were colored: Drayton Douglas, {an irrepres? sible cow thief,) under souteuce for cow stealing; David Wise, for the murder of his brother, and two others lately indict? ed for stealing wheat. We have seen the i piece "knawotl" out of tho inner wall, lund through which they had to struggle I a distauce of two feet to make tho outer opening. Tho pieco is about two feet long, ono foot wide, two inches thick aud heavily studded with nails, ami the knuwing process must have been both long aud terrific. Thu two wheat steal? ers have been caught and uro now iu jail.-Newberry Herald. A NATIONAL RANK PO?

On thu 21st instant, tho venerable and venerated Lovick Pierce will preside at tho luyiug of thu coruer-stonu for Hie foundation of tho Washington street Methodist church. The pride of Columbia is in the shade trees that lino her broad und beautiful avenues, aud wherever they were de? stroyed by thu dreadful fire of the war, a new growth appears. The tree planted is the hack or sugar berry-a hardy, ra pid grower-whose broad limbs, covered by a generous foliage and clusters of her? ries, afford a grateful slnidu to thu dwell? ers below, as wtdl as food and lodging to tho innocent insect-destroying warblers whoso "homes uro mudo without bauds." Wo aro satisfied that Columbia, tho ca? pital and centre of our Stale, with in? radiating railroads, its business facili? ties, its enterprise aud thrift, p.s colleget and schools, and its charming society, beauly of topography and health!lillies* must, at no distant day-ahull wo say live years hence?-exchange her lishe.' for beauty, aud doublo her population.
