C > LUMBLA. 'S. C Frilay ?orrv.nt?. October 6.1871. THE DKDT STATEMENT.-De Tocque? ville thought tho mo?t sublimo spectacle lae eyer witnessed was when ho beheld a great question ot territorial rightB, that had nrisou between two States, submit? ted to the amiable adjudication o? n hnlf dozen legal gentlemen, ut the city of Washington, culled tho Supremo Court. If Do Tocqueville had lived a while longer, say until tho 2d day of Ootobor, Anno Domini 1871, be would bavo wit? nessed something ?till more remarkable in that same city of Washington, for ho would bavo soon a single individual ut tho head of tho United Stato3 Treasury Department publishing to tho world that ia a single month of twenty-six secular days be bad, iu pursuance of a policy entirely his own, and by the meru force of his own ideas, wruug from one of tho most powerful natious on tho fuco of tho earth tuxes enough to enable bim to dis? charge of the national indebtedness tho vast sum of 813,453,020, or rather moro thau a half million per doy. And the curious part of the matter would bo, not that tho Secretary of tho Treasury would .do this, but that tho whole pooplo, be? lieving that bis policy was a wrong ono, because calculated to destroy tho indus? tries by which they lived, would quietly permit bim to do it. $13,500,000 on au unduo debt paid in a single mouth, every material interest of tho country suffering from it, and yet no serious pro? test madel That certainly is a spectacle not often seen. QUEEN VICTOIUA.-Some days-ngo wo beard that Queen Victoria was sick unto deatb. Tho Prime Minister, Gladstone, and tho Prince of Wales were both sum? moned to ber presence. Hours nud days bave elapsed and we bave had no news. Does it mean that the Government is determined to preservo silence at all "ha? zards, or that tho Queen's condition is so precarious that silence is deemed wisest in tbe premises? To us the sileuce is ominous. It seems tu imply that the Government is fully aware ol the fact that a crisis has been roached. The British people, with all their faults, are conservative. Tho present genera tion is bound up in Viotoria. Wo an willing to hope for tho sako of oui British cousins that the lifo of thi Queen is good for many years to como for, so far as wo can see, after tho Qoeei must como tho deluge. Nothing likt this hus happened Mince Gcorgo tin Third was proved to be a couflrmec lunatic. THE TB?ESXIAL CONVENTION OP . Tin PROTESTANT EPISCOPAL. Cnuitcu.-Tin Triennial General Convention of tin Protestant Episcopal Church of tin United States, which met iu Ballimore on Wednesday, will be a most interest ing session, and is tho subject of mud talk and speculation amongst tho clorg; and laity of that church generully. Tb Sun says: Among tho questions to b considered by the convention will be tb report of the Committee on Rubies Amendments, which is likely to provok a discussion- on some of tbe principe points on which the high church an low church parties are at issue, Tb difference botweou Bishop Wbitehous and the Rev. Mr. Cheney, of Chicagc and the relations of (it is presumed) th Rev. Stephen H. Tyng, Jr., to bi bishop, will also have to bo settled, o woll as the recent now departure of Re) Mr. Thrall and other ministers and coi gregations, with respect to tho revise book of commou prayer. There at forty dioceses to bo represented in tl: convention, and each dioceso is entitle to four clerical and four lay delegates. -?-o ? ?- -- TUE DEVI II AND HOLY WATE?.-Bu 1er, at the Massachusetts Rep?blica Convention, .said he abided by tho aetic of tho r invention, and intended, witbi tbe ranks of tho Republican party, i oarry on "tho light for ita rejuveuatioi for its purification, for the advanoeraet of labor, for the suppression of vice an for its great mission."

The insurrection wbic broke out in the French colony in Afrit immediately after the downfall of Lou Napoleon, has not only not been su? pressed, but is spreading.

Our City Affair* Again. Mn. EDITOK: WO understand that Al? derman Wigg, Chairman Committee of Ways and Means of City Oounoil, will return to-day from his trip to tho North, aud that a special mooting of the City Council will be hold this evening or to? morrow evening. At tho meeting, the whole, subject of issuo und hy potheen- j tion of city bonds, charges of exorbi? tant award of contracts of City Hull and market, etc., will bo thoroughly can? vassed. It is said that Alderman Wigg is tho only ono who can explain the hy? pothecation of ?2150,000 worth of city bonds for ?75,000, und other Aldormeu assert that they were deceived with tho information that the luau wus to bo made with the Carolina National Bank, aud for twelve mouths; and thut.when it was needed, nearly the sumo amount of money would bo obtained without addi? tional security. We leave this for Alder? man Wigg to explain to his brother Al? dermen. Some members of Council us Bcrt that they are alive to tho demands of tho tax-payers, aud everything will bo set right at tho special meeting. Ono of tho members of Council bas been beard to remark, that if the holder of the bonds will advance 850,000 more on sumo bonds to the city, and cancel tho notes now held, taking in lieu there? of notes at twelve mouths, ho will voto to sustain the loan ; otherwise, measures will be taken to return to bim tho bor? rowed money and take the bonds out of bis bands, as other responsible parties bavo tendered a loan advantageous to tho city. We await developments, and caution Couneiiineu that tho eyes of tho whole community aro upon them. This is not a party question, but one affecting tho futuro prosperity nf Columbia, and of interest to overy tax-payer, whito or co? lored. TAX-PA YE lt. lt o mil of IiUucuiloii-Seeon?! Day.

A largo and enthusiastic* mooting of the citizens of Greenwood aud vicinity took plaoe iu Greenwood on Saturday, the 20th of September, to consider the rapid construction of a railroad from Greenwood to Augusta, via White Hall, Dom's Mines and Fury's Ferry. Perhaps moro. eutbuBiasm was never mauifcstcd by so Iorgo an assembly of country people. 1*00 determined gentle meu, with numberless spectatois, com? posed tho moetiug, und , their united voices clamored out vehemently for ac? tivo operations und rapid oona! motion of said road.

Ile happily revived, to the delight of the audieuco, tho inception of tho .South Carolina Road, and also some, ol' the ways and means used in building; thu Greenville nud Columbia Railroad. That tho gentlemen present might not despair ol tho success of said road, be stated that tho idea of the South Caro? lina Railroad was locked for a long time in tho bosom of ono mun, and not more than a half dozen mon attended the first meuting. Ono determiued mau by the name of Black, lu? claimed, gave the im? pulse, und hy his energy und practica? bility concentrated public opinion in bis favor, and, with his en-operation, built tho South Carolina Hoad. Ho slated that the failure of Hie Greenville and Columbia Road was ouee very imminent, from tho inactivity of tho Laurens peu? pl?, nud by thu united action of a dozen mon in hud around Greenwood, tho road wus built through Abbeville. In con clusiou, ho cautioned tho meeting to guard against troublesome connections and avoid tangling alliances. Upou motion of Mr. Burt Riley, a cominitteo was uppoiuted to prtipuro business for thu meeting, consisting of W. K. Bhikii, Esq., Dr. J. W. Lagon and Dr. NV. H.

Ho insisted that our waste lauds were now and would forever be ii dead expenso itu lissa brought into value by tho present scheme. That one-fourth of our vast domains ubulg tho route would build tho mud. Ho was enthusi? astically applauded throughout his speech. Mitti y oilier stirring .speeches were made hy geutlomon pr?sent, all pledging moiiicd oo-opoiuliou. Vu cannot for? bear noticing tho generous propositions nf Mr. W. C. Klugh, who stood by with $5,000 ill hand to subscribo to said road. With such spirit, who can despair of success. This meeting sends forth ils committee with the full assurance that ii. will re? ?oive tho hearty co-operation lil" all citi? zens along the route, and ere another year elapsos, tho whistle of tho Green? wood and Augusta locomotives will glad den Hie hearts of our families throughout its full length.

TUB CHOLERA.-Later mail nows con? cerning the progress of cbolora in Russia, contained in the letters of cor? respondents nearest to tho scene of tho ravages of tho disenso, indicates that while in some 1 Jcalities in that country, which have been fearfully visited, tho plague is diminishing in intensity, it is still extending further and further, into other portions of tho empire, and is he coming universal in its vital scope. Tho mortality from tho diseuse throughout nearly tho whole couutry hus been, and still coatiuues to be, dreadful. Thou? sands upon thousands bavo died since .limo lust, and to the horror of thu pesti? lence itself added other horrors born of its presence. "As usual iu Russian epi? demics," says a Berlin correspondence of September I), of the Loudon limes, "drunkenness, tho habitual vice of the country, has received a fresh impulso from despair. Imagiue a stricken village, with priests running about to console Ute dying, while tho I ?vi tig resort to thu bottle as their idea of relief." While Ibis country may reasonably lljipe to escape the plague tin's year, owing to tho advanced season, the health au? thorities of cities should make gouil use of the interval to guard against ils pos? sible-it may bu said probable-coming next year. - ..... - -> .
