i'OLtJMBilAv;a ;c. Wednesday Morning, October 4,1871. Prince Bismarck, who, it seems, can do anything bnt be idlo, is now neing his efforts to assemble a general postage congress to perfeot a system of universal postage. All countries joining the postal league are to nee one and the same kind of stamp;/alike in appearance and val oe. Present rates are to be reduced, and the entire plan made to work harmoniously and efficiently in 'small countries as well as large. It is expected that most of the European States, and several Asiatic and South American Governments will at once join the postal federation. Pro? vision will bo made enabling nations not joining at the inception of the league to unite with it.at any future time. APPORTIONMENT OF RSPBESENTATTVES. No aotion having been taken by Con? gress at the last session on tho appor? tionment question, the Secretary of the Interior, it ja stated by the Washington correspondent of the New York Tribune, will, under the laws of 1850 and 1862, make the apportionment oalled for under tho census just taken. The number of Representatives will be 241, giving two eaoh to Illinois and Missouri, and ono eaoh to Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minne? sota, New Jersey, Texas and WiBOonBin. New York will lose three, Ohio and Pennsylvania two each, and Kentucky one, while the New England States will lose six in all. Some twe or three States will probably gain an additional mem? ber for large fractions, which will require the aotion of Congress to authorize elec? tions at large. The Gaatein Conference, followed by the meeting of Prussian and Austrian Emperors at Salzburg, has led to the adoption of a treaty in which Germany and Austria disown all aggressive designs against each other, and unite in a decla? ration that they will, in a spirit of neigh? borly oomity, oppose all aggression from without. Germany, on her part, recog? nizes the importance of maintaining "a strong and intact empire of Austria," while Austria deolarea that "adhesion to Germany is the will of the Austrian Sovereign und her leading statesmen." Whether this latter declaration be utter? ed in honest sincerity of purpose, or be? cause of the diplomatie pressure from without, is nowhere definitely pro? nounced upon. It is rumored that the Emperor of Austria begins to find the difficulties of his situation insurmount? able, and looks forward to tbe relief whioh retirement alone can bring. As to Italy, the unity of the nation is to be upheld and the rights of the King to be maintained; but tbe Italian Government on its part agrees not to interfere with the Holy See in any religious matter, and is to return all purely church pro? perty to the Pope. -*> ? GEN. HAMPTON'S LETTER.-We concur with the Barnwell Sentinel in the views it expresses. Tho Sentinel says: We have read the letter of Gen. Wade Hampton to Gen. Hill. While we al? ways receive with respect the opinions of Gen. Hampton, and know that he in? tends to advise for the best interest of the South, 'we cannot agree with him in the opinion that we shall keep out of the next Presidential Convention. The only hope of these States is in a reform of the Government and return to constitu? tional principles. The only party that holds ont snob a promise is the Demo? cratic party. If we keep aloof and re? fuse to go into convention, it will either be considered as indifference or sullen* noms, We are neither sullen nor indif? ferent, bnt feel the moat intent and live? ly interest in the triumph of the party, and are determined to exert our utmost effort to insure its success. This being* the case, we do not agree with Gen. Hampton, but concur with Senator Sohurz, that our true policy is to mani? fest our sympathy in every effort thal has for its objeot reform/ We think tho Southern States should send delegates to the Convention,, to ex? hibit and manifest sympathy, afford in? formation, interchange views; but not to take a prominent part, either in the for? mation of a platform or the nomination of a candidate. This is essentially the work of the North and West, and when they have agreed upon their platform and nominated their candidate, the South should bave representatives pre? sent to assure thom of their hearty sup? port and earnest co-operation. Notwith? standing carpot-bag influenoo and scala? wag desertion, the South is as loyal to the Constitution as the day we went to war to maintain it, and would be untrue to ourselves and falso to our history if we exhibited,tho slightest luke-warmne&s in any effort to restore constitutional go? vernment. To fold our hands and stand outside looks as if we are waiting for a, bid. tp Bopport that party which offers the highest inducement, or as if we are indifferent to the success of either party. This is not tr no; we hope and expeot no? thing from the Radical party; we do look to the triumph of the constitutional Domooratio party for solid and perma? nent . relief.; Hence, we conclude, it is. oar polioy and duty to show, to that party, that we tiffy bttly-, sympathize with them but will be pr?sent in the Conven? tion to give our best counsel and entire support. '? ? .'i 1 . lilt t Th? Little Game ot Scott, Moie? ?Si Co. Nothing that their Radical lorda and masters pan do-whether tragedy, comedy pr farco- excite? other than a mild surprise in' tho minds of tbe peo? ple of Bon th Carolina. The political and social leaders of the dominant party have exhausted the crimes of the deca? logue, and, unless they suddenly become unselfish, magnanimous and pure, none of their antics will came this pooplo either astonishment or mortification. We know, 'hoy, are busily engaged in adding tb their ill-gotten gains. Wo know that they desire to stand os an in? surmountable barrier between the whites and the honest blacks. We know that what they hove won by fraud they nre eager to retain by force. But nono of these things, whether os inchoate ideas or as accomplishing facts, can create a sensation here, whatever their effects upon the tender susceptibilities of tho North. We would not oomparo upright Republican leaders iu the North und West, with tho unsavory knaves who hold domini?n in tho South. Whatever their political idio&yncracies, Mr. Gree? ley and Mr. Fish und their like are high minded, conscientious uud pure. As much cannot be said for the Scotts, the Maokeys and the H?ges who hold cor? responding positions in the Southorn States. Nuy, wo could uot, with justice, place any one of the graceless loons who now control our public and private for? tunes, upon u moral equality with tho humblest negro who picks cotton on the coast, or hoes corn nuder the shadows of the azure mountain ranr-e. Yet it is Scott, and Moses, and Hogc, and their companions who contrive tn hoodwink respectable'people in the North, who assure Northern and Western Republi? cans that South Carolina needs a second baptism of Aro, who. ure ready to per? form in this State the second act of tho ghastly tragedy, that burlesque of jus? tice and truth,'whose'first brutal sueno was played last week in Raleigh. For a month or more, the Columbia Union, Governor Scott's organ, has preached the wrath to come. It has striven, by malicious fabrications and by perver? sions of the truth, to fire the Radical heart. And ut last the order of pro? ceeding, then shadowed forth, is de? termined on in council and emphatically and authoritatively announced. A meeting of the Republican State Central Committee was held in Colum? bia on Thursday, the principal subject for consideration being the making of arrangements for the National Colored Convention,' whioh assembles in that oity next month. As this convention is to be exclusively composed of colored men, the colored Lieutenant-Governor of the State, with the colored Judge of the State Supreme Court, the colored Congressmen and members of the State Legislature, might have been trusted to do what was necessary in the way'bf ap? pointing delegates. But it was thought proper to bring the State Central Com? mittee together, and to call in as "in? vited visitors" those eminent personages, Governor Scott, Mr. Speaker Moses, General Worthington and Judge H?ge. What had they to do with the Colored Convention? NothingI That Conven? tion was the pretext for a new departure, for a restoration of mutual confidence between the arch intriguers, for a bold denunciation of the Feder 1 Court and of the white people of the State. Mr. Ransier, whose vigorous protest against martial law was still warm on his lips, opened the ball. What he said is not fully known, but he probably vibrated dexterously between the poles of con? tending opinions, and declared emphati? cally that "something must be done." We do not regard Lieatenant-Governor Hausier as by any means the most sin? cere and trustworthy man in the Radical party, but his color is as much in his fa? vor as that of Scott and Moses ia their shame and reproach. Governor Scott now addressed the meeting "by invita? tion," and expressed his determination to suppress the Ku Klux organization. He assured the committee that "mea? sures had been taken" to make the next session of the United States Court in Columbia "as memorable to the mid? night assassin" as was the late session of theoourt presided over by Judge Bond in Raleigh. He said that "every pledge of the Democratic leaders in the up? country, and the pledges of the Hame party in the' Tax-payers' Convention, had beeu broken,'and that ho had no longer any faith ia anything but the strong arm of power." What, we would ask, are "the measures" which have buen taken? Does Governor Scott pro? pose to bribe witnesses and pack juries, as his party bribe voters uud pack elec? tion boards? Are his paid agents al? ready manufacturing a fresh supply of Kn Klux outrages for tho columns of the Union, or does he onco more propose to remit the State to the tender mercies of a drum-head aourt martial? More than a year ago he declared in a publio speech at Washington that "Winchester ride luw was the only law for South Ca? rolina," and he showed his sincerity by hounding his militiamen on to acts of violence, which would havo made a less patient pooplo rise in armed rebellion, and hang him before the gates of the ca? pital. We are now threatened with ne? gro militia and worse, upon the pitiful plea thut the leaders of the white people of thu State have broken their every pledge. This charge is false. Every promise made to Governor Scott has been kept, but-and here's tho rub every-promise made by Governor Scott has been broken. There is no truth in him. *A man who has been convicted ugain and again of wilful lying strives vainly to sully the fair reputation of gen? tlemen whose publio and private life ie without a stain. But one exonse is ac good as another-to an official who, like Scott, ia a candidate for re-election. When Governor Scott hud said hie say, Mr. Speaker Moses wus invited tu address the meeting. This man. was a violent secessionist. It .was ho who hauled down the United States flag ul Sumter-after its surrender, bo it under ?fi ifl ?tm?^^i?uimm^?mmm?mmim^t 0'ood. The first South Coolamin of quoei-reapeot ability who clutc"^'' at the prises o( Radical politics, ho has been a partner in every corrupt Boheme whioh the Leginluturo and tho ringa have con? trived. A candidate for the Gubernato? rial o ilion, be paid "a glowing tributo" to the honesty and'integrity of bis rival, Governor Soott, and excused bim for being deceived by the promises of men who "for twenty years had imposed themselves as leaders apon the people of tho United States.'' These pen saw through Mr. Moses when ho was much younger thau he ia now. They and the peoplo know him UB ho is. und have nothing more to learn. Still no has tho effrontery to denounce Judge Bryan and Murshul Johnson, and to demand tho latter's removul. Of Mr. Johnson, per? sonally, wo kuow nothing, excopt thitt he is tho son of Mr. Rovordy Johnson, and is u staunch Kepublicuu. With him, we have no political sympathy whatever, but we do uot hesitate to Kuy thut we believe him tn havo doun his duly. His fault, according to Mr. Muses, is Unit his juries do uot convict innocent mou. Those juries are drawn by Mr. Johnson, in ncoordauce with tho slriot rules laid down by tho Chief Justice of tho United States. Hi; luis no discretion ns to the manner of. forming tho panel. His olli ci ul duties are disch urged in tho way which Chief Justice Chase hun do ! oided to be just and proper. Tho pub ! lie must take their choice betweou the opinion of Mr. Moses, and the deliberate judgment of Mr. Chuso. What Scott 1 and Moses require is a batch of couvic I lions; and, that their juries may bo of the Haleigh kiud, they propose that Judge H?ge bo put in the pince of Mr. Johosou. This Hogo is n simpering Northern adventurer oT tho worst cluss. Although totally ignorant of law, he was elected io 1868 an Associate Justice of the Supremo Court of this Stute. Upou tho henel), his miserable incapa? city was so conspicuous thut bis party wero glad to nominate him for Cougress. Ho was defeated by a majority of 3,008 votes, but was allowed to take his seat iu Congress, upon tho ground that his op? ponent wuB disqualified under the four? teenth amendment. Hogo failed of re? nomination, and lives upon tho profits of political jobbery and the crumbs which fall from Scott's public table. No man hus been more active in stirring up strife between the whites and blacks. But ho is an admirable tool, and, with him US United States Marshal, Messrs. Scott, Moses & Co. couut upon having juries to their mind. They might bo mistuken. A Unitod Stuten Marshal is uot beyond the reach of tho law, aud a place is reserved in a woll-kuowu gallery for a portrait without which it cauuot bu deemed complete. How far Scott, Moses nud Hogo, u?d their white attach?es may go, we do uot pretend to say. They are utterly reck? less and unprincipled, aud cauuot sink much lower in the opiuiou of the people. At their back is tho whole power of tho United Stutes Government, used, to se? cure the renomination and re-eleotiou of Presideut Grout. Ku Klux trials, aud a Marshal H?ge, are not required to give President. Grant a popular majority in South Carolina. There is a deeper pur? pose iu view. It is intended to arrest Southern mau by the hundreds iu every Southern State, so as to overawo the op? ponents of Radicalism, and restore Radi? cal dominion iu Virginia, iu North Caro? lina, iu Alabama anti iu Georgia. Inno? cence will bo no safe-guard. The punishment is measured by political I necessity, and not by degrees of guilt. A New York abortionist, who kills on unfortunate woman, whom he betrays, is sent to prison for two years. A Southern Democrat, who is accused, uot of murder, but of maltreating aod threatening a Radical politician, is sen? tenced to six years in the penitentiary aud $5,000 fine. This is the justice to secure which "measures have been taken" by Governor Scott, Mr. Speaker Moses aud the soi-disant Judge Hogo. Fit instruments of tho basest tyranuy which the ceutury has known, they are ready for any work which makes DO de mauds upou honor, integrity or truth. [Charleston News. TUE SODDEN TUMDLE OF NEW STATE BONDS.-The New York Herald, of Fri? day last, in its review of tho stock mar? ket ou the preceding day, says: The Southern State bonds were heavy and lower under the depressing influence of a sharp deoline iu the now South Ca? rolina sixes, which fell from 54l? to CO, rallying to 52. The cause of this d?? chue was the peremptory sale of a large umount of the bouds whioh had boeu hypothecated for borrowed money, whioh the borrower could not return on de? mand.

PATENT GA3 MACHINE.-A New York cotetnporary publishes the following, relative to a gas machine, which bas been on exhibition at the American In? stituto Fair, New York: "In another column appears tho card of 'The Columbia Portable Gas Light Company.' The office of the company will be found at 708 Broadwuy, New York, whilst tho factory is located in the city of Columbia. The automatic gas generator, it is claimed, for simplicity, durability, economy and mechanical per? fection, is superior to all other inven? tions of the kind. Au ordinary me? chanic can disjoin and unite it iu a short time. A servant of moderate in? telligence is perfectly competent to manage and control tho machino. The light produced is soft and brilliant, -whilst tho cost is fifty per cent cheaper than coal gas. It is at once cheap, economical and safe. It cnn be used iu every dwelling, and is peculiarly adapted for bouses iu tho country, or where coal gas cauuot be obtained." Thia invention is tho fruit of our fellow-citizen, E. C. Plumer's skill and ingenuity, and it is earnestly hoped that a liberal patronage will reward a South? ern mechanic's industry aud inventive genious, and that Mr. Plumer may reap the rich harvest both of honor and profit, which he surely deserves.
