??L?toMi. s. c. Saturday Horning, September 30.1871? Tho Iuvoitlgatlon Begun. Wu learn that the committee of the Board of Trade have been .allowed to hovo access to tho plana and specifica? tions of the City Hull and the new mar? ket. In the Case of the City Hall, the condition is annexed that Mr. Parkins be present, and that the committee of the Board of Trade pay his expenses to Columbia. The committee of the Board of Trade accepted the offer. Capt'. J. C. Bellend Messrs. Pry and Troy-all ex perieuoed builders-have boon requested to assist the committee in making an estimate of the now market. Dir. James AI. Allcn'a Offer. Mr. Allen called at this office, on yes? terday, and stated that he authorized us to say that ho would sell out his contract for 825,000-thus meaniug, wo suppose, to intimate that we had over-estimated his "reserve fund" when wo put it at 860,000. We presume that Mr. Allen would prefer to realize 825,000 cash rathor than to incur the hazard and the division involved in the carrying out of his contract. To his brazen proposition we have this to say: If his offurinvolved loss, the acceptor would be u fool to take it; if profil, then he would be amenable to the same charges that now rest against Mr. Allen. We, at least, have no desiro to buy Mr. Allen ont. We hope to moko Iii? shoes so hot that no other man would like to put his feet in them. What Are Yon Going To Do About Itt Private liane of New City Bonds. It is stated on the streets that Dr. J. L. Neagle has now with him in New York 8250,000 worth of new bonds of this oity, issued to him for tho loan of 875,000 to the City Council. These bonds have been surreptitiously issued, and, thus fur, no announcement of the faot has been made by the authorities. This transaction speaks for itself. The public aro entitled to thc details 'of this outrageous procedure Will the acting Mayor enlighten the pablic? Do the citizens of Columbia intend to be trilled with? Are they to be dealt with like toys and playthings? 8250,000 worth of Columbia city bonds in the hands of Dr. Neagle for the advance of 875,0001 Whut buB been done with these bonds? Are they now in Dr. Neugle'a hands, or have they already been used in Wall street? THE ENGLISH REPUBLIC.-The fate of England has been disclosed to a London correspondent of tho New York World by tho head of the Republican party 'in that country, the shrewd, serious, 'but withal visionary Charles Bradlaugh. According to this correspondent, Mr. Bradlaugh declares himself now able to pull dowu tho monarch,.though not quito ready to build up the. Republic; that Victoria ia the last monarchy who shall sit on the English throne; that ho dep? recates a revolution before 1876, when he will be perfectly prepared for it, hot that whenever the Government throws down the guage to him he will pick it up. THE COMMUNE IN NEW YORK.-There are seven "sections" of the International organized and working iu New York oity, which consist exclusively of French? men and French women. A diatiuotive feature in these French organizations is the admission of'women. This is not done in the societies of other,nationali? ties. The Courier des Etats Unis having said a few days ago that the female members, though allowed to vote, are not allowed "to pronounce discourses," H. Charnier, the I Secretary, writes to that paper to correct tho statement. .Tho fadt is, that iii, the Trench sections women have the samo rights and.prii i leges os men. "Tho International" being a federated association of all work? men, without distinction of race, oolor or nationality, worn en.hoing a portion of the laboring population, may, and ought to be, not only admitted members of the society, but to have there a deliberate voice." It is u noticeable fact that these French workmen settled in this country adopt and aot upon a principle concern? ing the right* o? women which Euglish, American and Gorman laboring men do not accept. By the fact some readers will be reminded of the entire sympathy and co-operation' between the two sexes which characterized tho reign of the Commune. The diamonds of Bouth America are turning out to be a genuine renlity. The Cape Standard says that the diamond * discoveries are now "simply enormous." Ooo diamond of 120 carats has been lound at Da Toil's Pau. A letter ?rOin this "digging" .states., that tho writer sees nowly-fuund diamonds of from twenty to sixty carats every day.- A poor man frofii England carno ont with barely money enough to keep him a ' fortnight, ana in three months he went . home worth 8250,000. Fivo brogers Qt.a family originally -numbering fifteen are living in Ken? tucky, whose ages aro seventy-four, se? venty-six, . seventy-eight, eighty and eighty-fiye years. Four brothers who went to the polis together in North Custino, Mo., at, tho late election, are aged eighty-three, se? venty-five, seventy and sixty-seven years. ??Partie? and Thieve*"-Well Said. From that excellent journal-the New York' Journal of Commerce-wo vOopy tue artiolevhere appended. '. It will repay perusal. Its calm, jost, fair spirit' will commend, its .'pertinent reflexions td every honest and unprejudioed mind. Here is the article. Abovo all needs in this country risoB the need of honest men ia office. Plundering rings aud thieving offlaials are the'order of the day, and right and left the uputhetio people are fleeced. How long will they stand it? No radical or lasting reform can ho achieved in tho financial brauch of pub? lic affairs till tho words "Democratic" Aud "Republican" cense to bo coupled with tho other word "frauds." Frauds in the General Government, iu the States and in cities are not "Rapubli cau" aud* are uot "Democratic." Tliey ate the work of swindlers and thieves who would cheat and rob under one party namo as freely as under another, liotli purties in this couutry huvo their largo proportiou of meu who tako oQiue whoo tbey eau get it ouly for tho per? quisites, thu divisiou of contracts, tho job3 aud the stealings. Both parties, too, hayo their immensely greater pro? portion of upright, honest men, who would no more think of conniving at frauds on tho treasury or ou tbo poople, thau they would of robbing a till or breaking into a house. Between tho average honesty of one party aud that of tbe other, uuder temptations, there is little room for choice. Tbe revela? tions of every day and hour should con? vinco tbe most prejudiced mau that for either party to accuse the other of all the frauds, and to uphold its own snowy purity, is as absurd as the pot twitting tho kettle upon being black. In the Federal Government it is men labeling themselves Republicans who aro robbing and defaulting right and left. Every day is developing some new swindle among paymasters, post office men and other officials. All through the South, carpet-baggers who call themselves "Rs publicaus" are oppressing uud stealing from the people. Not a Southern State ?H free from their blighting presence. Much of their misdeeds is already known, but more will como out, and the ultimate uncloaking of frauds in that section may yet startle tho country like the thunder-clap of the nstoundiug dis? closures in New York. In Georgia, tho ul leged detcoted railroad frauds already foot up over S300.0U?-and it is sus? pected tbat .some high officials in tbe State (all Republicans) aro concerned in them. When the veil is torn off from other so-called Republican State Govern? ments in the South, equally, perhaps moro, amazing discoveries may be made. For thoso wrongs-the work of totally unscrupulous demagogues, to whom party titles are but a cloak and a simm it would bo manifestly unjust to bold the Republican party of tho whole country responsible. They, us a mass, are uo more to bo charged with such malfea? sances than the D?mocratie party of this State, as nu organization, is to bo ac? cused of complicity in tbe New York city and County swindles. Thoso out? rages are in uosense whatever party ope? rations. Republicans and Democrats have all along been in the ring together aud enjoyed the fruits of tbe common iniqui? ty. The names of those most blackened now in connection with the frauds of the ring represent no higher i ufa my in these very swindles than two or three well known Republicans for many years in the same ring. Tho plain people, the voters, of both parties, have been fooled by their crafty managers. It was the duty of the voters to have prevented snob men from riding into office on their shoulders, and in the consequences of the elections the voters uro not quit of all responsibility; but we say,that neither party in this oity is fairly abargeablo with the local misgovernment, That is the work of knavish or reckless indivi? duals, who care nothing for Democratic or Republican principles, mid only affect a liking for either in order that they may fill their pockets. They ure tho enemies of one party os much as of another, bot deserve the intenser hatred aud punish? ment from the party whose confidence they have 'so infamously abused. Wo have no hope that reform can bo moro thau transient in Federal, Stuto or mu? nicipal administration till men abandon the practico of arrogating' the possession of all tho virtues of ull tho human an? gels for. their party, aud accusing the rival, organizations of having all tho vices and harboring all tho thieves. Be? fore any great improvement caa bo ef? fected, that will Btay made, a public opinion must bo created that will not pauso to inquire whether a thieving of? fice holder is nominally a Republican or a Democrat before denouncing his ras? cality, and cansing his removal and in? dictment. When that time comes, if it ever docs, we may expect the rule of honest men. ? We learn that a difficulty occurred be? tween two colored mea, named respect? ively Jesse Telford and Sim Stark, near Breazeale's mills, in the vicinity of Bel? ton, on Thursday last. They wore en-, gaged in working tho roads wheo tho quarrel took place, and upon Telford using some insulting language, Stark struck him upon the head with u mat? tock, and inflicted injuries thought to bo mortal; but, np to yesterday morning, we learn that he was still alive and a prospect of his recovery was reported. Stark has been committed to jail to await tbe final result. ? [Anderson . Intelligencer. On Monday, Ibo 25th iustant, thc put? ting up of tho telegraph wire, from An? derson to Walhalla, was completed.

AUGUSTA, GA., September ?8, 1871. EDITOB O? PHOENIX : Prosnrr"*"*- that a brief lottor from thiB point will not be without interest to nanny of your read? ers, your correspondent bas Condensed the following for y sur disposal. The revival of trade, with the advent of tho business season, has shortened tho lengthened visages whioh our com? mercial mon havo displayed during the past almost unparalleled soason of hard? ness depression. Kew orop oolloo, how? ever, conlon in Blowly,- the receipts to dato being littlo moro thnu e^Utl to twe thirds of thoso for tho samo period lust year. Plnutore, generally, manifest a ! disposition to hold off for better prices thau tho ruling quotations, particularly since the latu decline, and only sell to cancel such obligations us may not bo postponed, aud to' pr?vido themselves with the funds necessary to secure extra labor for gathering tho crop, otc. Ac? counts from tho cotton districts within range of Augusta, both iu Georgia and South Carolina, gencrullyiudicutu u fall? ing off iu tho product of one-third to one-half, as compared with tho crop of la?tyear. With this conviction, planters aro strong iu tho faith of a speody re? action in prices, and are protty generally determined, whore ablo, to run a tilt with speculators, by holding on to their cotton until it hus touched tho figure of their conception of its worth. As n conse? quence of this, the general trade of the city docs not exhibit quito its usual ani? mation at this season, although little complaint is indulged. Angosta, like Columbia, bns au im? portant canal interest to look after. The subject of its enlargement, as a moans to stimulate manufacturing enterprises here, has beeu earnestly discussed for more than two years by successive boards af the City Council. Under our present progressive administration, the project luis assumed d?duite shape. A recent thorough survey has been completed and estimates of tho probable cost prepared. Under resolutiou of the City Council, tho citizeus will voto on tho question next Weduesday, 4th of October. Ap? parent au uro tho advantages to nccruo to tho material prosperity of tho city, by tho consummation of this great work, it is not without its opponents, although the indications aro that the City Coun? cil will be authorized, by a largely ?ire pondorntiog vote, to proceed with the enterprise. Among tho immediate re? sults of this further development of tho immonse water power hero at hand will bo the erection of n now (third) mill of 1U,0U0 spindles, by the Augusta Factory, and tho addition of 5,001) spindles to ono of its present mills. The spirit of improvement iu Augusta does not correspond, in activity, with that exhibited iu Columbia, while there are, nevertheless, many evidences that the city is ou the eve of a "now depar? ture" iu the lino of progress. Among these evidences may bo mentioned the multiplication of commercial houses since the advent of the present season, the erection of uew and remodeling of old buildings for business purposes, the establishment of a uew bank, and the favorable consideration of railroad uud other projects looking to tho material advaucoment of the citj'. Tho grund ovout of tho season, to which our citizens uro looking with so much of nouiidence and laudable ambi? tion, will doubtless be the second an ntinl Fair of the Cottou States Mecha? nics' and Agricultural Fair Association, whioh opens hereon the 31st of October. The grouuds, already improved to a de? gree of oouvenience and beauty second to uoue iu the South, are being put io the most complete preparation for the occasion, a large force of workmen be? ing daily omployed therein. The ener? getic officers of the Association have de? termined that this ensuing exposition shall nob bo outstripped by any siaiilat exhibition in tho cotton-growing region, whether us regards tho inducements of? fered exhibitors or the attractions pro? vided for visitois. A large otteudunct is anticipated from adjacent States, and, iudeed, from remote sections. The pre? mium list of tho Association is most li? beral, amounting iu awards to $15,000 $4,000 on held crops-and admirably arranged iu all its detuils. A font art worthy of special reference is the purse; (aggregating $2,150) offered for tho fast est horses, a contest which elicits uni versal admiration. Not to be overlookec ure the following liberal spacial premi urns: T. P. Stovull-five barrels "Pridi of Augusta" Hour, for home-made and baker's bread; Wilcox, Gibbes & Co. ?1,000 for best crop of oottou froa Pheonix Guano; Dioksou Fertilizer Com puny-$1,000 for crops of cottou, corr and potatoes from home-made manure J.

MB. EDITOR: Bonding the pupers and the reports of Congressional oom mittens, you would suppose Spartanbarg was aoy thing else th nu a peaceable commu? nity. Yon would hardly thiuk that we had timo to tarn-our attention to peace? ful pursuits-to build houses aud rail? roads. We ourselves know tho loast of our troubles. When we want to koow how bad we have been, wbut a thorn in tho side of thu groat body politic, we turn to tho Union, with its two respecta? ble aud well-known correspondents. It would be better for the Union, were they not so well known. The fact ip, Mr. Editor, we have no timo for Ku Kluxism. For energy, for Bobor industry, wo will place tho whit?? population of our County against that of uuy County of tho Uuiou. Tho best evidence of it is, our present prosperous condition. What towu iu tho Statu has improved as Spartaubnrg, sinco the war? It is estimated that our popula? tion has increased ne,ir 501) iu the last year or two; besides nmuy private resi douces and two elegant brick stores have just been built on Main street, aud two more, with u largo ball, uro now being built. We have iu successful operation a uatioual bank, with a paid up capital of S?d,OOO. Ono reuseu of our pros? perity is tho energy of our white popu? lation aud the lurga preponderance of whites over blacks. But agaiu, our natural advantages arc great. Spartan burg is destined to become a great rail? road centre. Thu nir lino from Atlanta to Charlotte is nearly graded from this point to Charlotte. Trains will be run ning next spring or summer. The Spartanburg and Uuiou Railroad will certainly bo extended. Measures are uow on foot, backed by large ciipital,-to secure that end. Tho completion of the Spartanburg and Augusta Railroad is only a question of time. Tho deep interest it excites, tho rich country through which it passes, the cheapness of tbe route, all make it a certainty. Another evidence of our prosperity is tho faith the people have in this great enterprise, as they uot only beliovo iu them, but risk their money on them. Following the example of Northern men connected with tbo Air Liuo Road, they are beginning to speculate iu lots and other real estate. Real estate is as high now as it over was, and is daily appre? ciating in value. With such prospects, Spartanburg can afford to be slaudered by those peta of the Union-a swindling, .speculating parsou, and a would-be politician und legislator. CI VIS. A GREAT RAILROAD DEPOT-A BUILD? ING CoVEMXO MORE THAN FlVJi ACRES. The magnificent central depot, intended for tho joint occupancy of tbo New York Central and Hudson River, Now York aud Harlem, and Now York and New Haven Railroad Companies, iu Now York city, will be formally opened October 2. Tbo vast building covers au area of more than five acres, exteudiug from Forty second to Forty-fifth street,- and from the middle of Fourth avenue for about one-half the distance to Madison ave? nue. Its length is 900 feet, and its width 275 feet. The work was commenced in September, 1800, just two yours ago. On the second iloor, fronting on Forty second street, aro the offices of the Pre? sident, Treasurer, Secretary and Super? intendent, which overlook the graud archway, built of glass aud iron. On tho West Bide there are fivo eu tra aces, leading to tho oflices of the attorney, auditor, chief engineer, general ticket agent, baggage agent, aud tho directors' rooms, and other apartments, all of which aro fitted up in tho most splendid manner. Every convenience that could be desirod has been provided. The ex? terior of thia colossal edifice is mainly brick and iron. All tho window frames, doors and casings are iron, and painted white, while every door iu the buildiug is of black walnut. All tho stair-cases leadiug to tbe different rooms aud oflices aro eithor of iron or stone. The floors are all inlaid with white oak and black walnut, and the baggage rooms aro sup? plied with asphalt parement. At each end of tho roof is a largo domo of brick and iron, surmounted by a flag-staff. The entire building is to be heated by steam. In tho centre of tho building, on tho West side, is stationed nu elect rio battery for lighting tbo gas, winding the cloth, aud regulating thu heat, for Ibo caro of which n man is employed at ? salary of 8100 a mouth. On Forty-fifth street aro huge irou door-ways to admit the cars. lu tho centre of these en? trances will be tho office of tho "look? out," whoso duty it is to regulato the departure aud arrival of tho trains. In? side of tho archway, which is 100 feet high, accommodations have been made to receivo 100 cars. It is estimated that tho cost of this building will be nearly 81,000,000. Tbe superb stylo of its architecture makes it one of tho finest ornaments of the city. [New York Commercial. THE "PASSION PLAY."-There aro one or two of the interior villages of a por? tion of Germany where once in about tun years, amidst a rural aud religious poople, tho whole history, life and death of tbo Saviour, with tho attendant cha? racters, aro depicted iu what is called tbe "Passion Play." Tho population ga? thers iuto thu village from thc surround ing districts, remaining several days, through which tho performance of tbe play extends. It is a curious aud grave entertainment, and lately has attracted tho attention of travelers. Tho Ameri? can visitors ut tho "Passion Play" at Oberainmcrgau gavo much o Deuce to tho simple villagers by going ''behind tho scenes" and paying court to the actresses. Through thu in flu budd of Judas Iscariot, who figurod in tho play, tho privilege of flirting with the ladies was forbidden to visitors. REMARKABLE VOYAGING OF A CANAL BOAT.-The Darwin, of Philadelphia, is tho name of a merchantman now tied up iu the canal at Portage, Wisconsin. The boat ?B constructed something like an Erie Canal boat, and is propelled by steam. A brief statement of her career since ber construction will strike many with woudor nt the capabilities of the water system of tho country. From Capt. E. Moyer we learn that the Darwin was built some two years ago on the Su squib ii mi uh River', some forty miles above Harrisburg. When abe left the ship-yard shn went down to Havre de Grace, in Maryland, ou thu Chesapeake Bay, crossed over the bay to Chuflapeake City, wheu she entered the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal, ?ind proceeded to tho Delaware River; thence up that great river to Philadelphia; thence to Bordeu town, where she entered the Raritnn Ganai; theuco down tho river to Newark Bay, and thence to New York city; up the Hudson to Alba uv, where she euter ?d tho Erie Canal; thence to Buffalo, through Lakes Erie, St. Clair, Huron, and Michigan to Green Bay; thence up thc Lower Fox, through Lake Winneba? go to Oshkosh; thence np the Wolf to tho Upper Fox, aud up that river to the canal which connects that stream with tho Wisconsin River. Wheu she leaves hero she goes down the Wisconsin to Prairie du Chien, und from thence down the Mississippi to Cairo, and up the Ohio to Louisville; and eventually will bring around to Pittsburg, which is not very fur distant from whore she started. THE AMERICAN RIVER GANGES-A RA? DICAL CARTOON.-In a late number of Harper's Weekly, the celebrated "Jour nul of Civilization," so-called, is n car? toon oalled "Tho American River Gau goa." It represents the promiuout city officials of Now York in tho act of dropping young children over a breust work, behind which they (tho officials) aro entrenched, to tho ground (a shore,) whoru they become a prey to crocodiles, which are just emerging shorowurd from a river that Hows by. These crocodiles are pictured as bishops of tho Cutholic Church in America, robed iii the vest? ments of their high ecclesiastical office, tho mitre on the head of each being made to rcproseut the open mouth of u crocodile fully provided with rows of ugly teeth, which, it is to bo iuferred, ure td do tho mastication necessary to ihstire tho destruction of tho children who aro forced to become their food. lu order to create sympathy for these poor children, and to intimate that they are Protestants, wo see prominent in the foreground a youth, out of the breast of whose jacket there protrudes a book, on tho cover of which is inscribed tho words "Holy Bible." The design of tho whole affair is, of course, to represent thu Catholic Church io America as pro? selyting tho Protestant children of this country, und as having the city officials of New York as aiders and abettors in tho movement. It is nn eminently ori? ginal idea with this Republican "Jour unl of Civilization." A HEAVY FINE.-Wm. Beeler has been found guilty, in Tippccuuoe Couuty, Iud., of burning the railroad bridge on tho Wabash Road, over Wildcat River. Ho Ima been sentenced to pay a fine-of 3*20,000 und serve a term of ten years ia the State prison. He has the privilege, under the State law, of working out his fine at tho rute of seventy-five cents per day. This will occupy him seveuty-two years. On Sunday night laid, about ll o'clock, au ultercation ensued between two colored men on the Bermuda Plan? tation, twelve miles from tho village of Mount Pleasant, in whioh one of them, Peter Johnson, was shot by tho other, Davenport, foremun of tho place. A colored man, engaged on tho farm of Mr. Thomas N. Bennett, of Chester County, had u difficulty with a white employeo, about a hog. which resulted iu tho death of the former. Womeu have their rights iu Madrid, where Rose Compos and Rose Gurtrez wera advertised to kill tho bull ut a re? cent Sunday bull fight.
