C )LUMBIA, s, c. SunSay Homme. October 29 1871. infamous Sentiments-The Wnr iTpon Soatb Carolin?. . ; i Tho prominent Radicalrepresented in our leane of yesterday aa tho an thor of the remark that he hoped the oitizeus.of the op-oonntry would fire into the United States troops, so that *'i i " 'could "fis Ahem," could "ahow them wbut hell is," waa Solomon Li. H?ge, ex-Judge, ex member of Congress, and the recent as? pirant for.United States Mardbal John? son's place. That he made the remarks attributed to him, we have the best au? thority. We have time, place and cir? cumstances. This language' was'' even stronger than given above. It is our duty to arraign Mr. H?ge bofore the bar -of the public opinion of the country for this infamous sentiment. It is our duty to dp so, because we believe that thu said sentiment lies at the bottom of the feelings wbioli have prompted Mr. H?ge -and bis oo-oonspiratora to nse their in? fluence to bring upon South Carolina the military rule that now obtains over more than one-fourth of the Counties of ifhe State. Mr. H?ge belongs to that -das" of political adventurers who came to South Carolina to intervene between the whites and blacks, and to live upon the spoils of politics. He is a bitter Radical, who has' done his full part in .creating and. keeping up ill-fooling bo 'tween tho races in South Carolina, that ha might carry oat bis individual ends. His - public career is well known here. With no knowledge nf 'the law, he rose to be ono of the Associate Judge's on the Supreme Benoh of tho State. With no statesmanship, by means of noisy dcma gogaism, he became o Radical member .of Congress. He exhausts these honors and becomes a "briefless barrister" in this city, feeding upon, the crumbs that might fall from the tables of the State. And now he enters npon a now oarecr. (He aids in the effort to briug the power of the General Government upon the object of his malice-the whites of South Carolina. He is impressed with the ter? rible outrages attributed to Ku Kluxism. The corruption of the Legislature-the Lund Commission swindle-the profli? gacy of our rulers-the grand stealing that State and County officials have car? ried on-tho County abuses--the cases of barn-burning and gin-bouses do stroyod-all these moved him not. But when the outlaws in the Government had .prodneed outlawry and Lynch law in portions of Sooth Carolina, he becomes aroused. He enters the oonnpiraoy; he thinkR that United States Marshal John? son is not sound; he wants to aconre his place; he wants to "Bx" the people of the up-country. Well, he does not get the.place of United States Marshal; but he and his co-intriguers, aided by the labors.of such papers as the Washington ^Chronicle and the Columbia Union, do .bring upon South Carolina-tho law of the sword in nine Counties of the State. The soldiers of the United States come, and although the oitizens are subjected .to wrongs and outragea enough to stir a ?fever in the blood of age, and to make manhood's sinews strong as steel, yet they submit-very properly submit. This is, now, what so disappoints Mr. H?ge and his associates io infamy and in malice. Not satisfied with the wrongs and damage inflicted upon the people of the proscribed Counties, he hopes to God that tbe United States troops will be fired upon, so that the fall strength of a powerful Government may be brought to bear npon o people already -cruelly treated! Mr. Hogo wants to seo -an infuriated soldiery let loose upon helpless communities. Tho sentiment is outrageous, and we ask any fair-minded, unprejudiced man, if it does not imply a heart fully bent upon mischief. And this man is a flt representative of the class in South Carolina who havo mis? represented na ut Washington, and brought this present infliction upon a struggling State. Looking to tho fell spirit thus evinced, we may well say to this sohemer and plotter, and bin asso? ciates-to eaoh: "How long, oh! Calalinc, to ill thou abuse our pal?enos-lo what tx .lent wilt thou carry thy unbridled insolence of guilt?" We, therefore, charge Mr. H?ge with the expression of a sentiment which dis? traeos humanity, and falsifies the citi? zenship which he olaima in South Caro lin*. Farther, we call the attention of tho country to a sentiment which, wo be? lieve, discloses the design of the domestic foes in our midst, who have invited tho causeless military rule that oppresses our people and paralyzes our business inte? rests-that adds to the loss already in? flicted upon ns by a corrupt and ineffi? cient State government. It ia hard that we should be plnndered by Scott & Co. ?nd thon punished by Grant and his ad? visers. Bat we mast submit. Wo aro happy, however, to say that we feel no apprehension of any citizen in the up-country being so mad as to take the oourae that our foes so ardently de? sire. AU United States"officers are not Uko ex-Liout. H?ge. ' The United States officers," as a .general rule, havo not abo wu themselves actuated by tue malig? nant spirit ovinced by Mr. H?ge & Oo. Tbe soldiers are not all inconside? rate. We feel that there is and will be no disposition to carry out any such sui? cidal ,and foolish programme ns Mr. H?ge and his party would desire. The ?power of tho General. Government will bo acknowledged, and Bhould be. Tbc Work of OUgorgement Hus begun ia New York. We obsorve that a oivil suit bas been instituted against Mr. Tweed and several others for several millions of dollars. The suit ix brought upon the affidavit of Samuel J. Tilden. Tho exhibit and tabular statements aro startling and make up a strong prima facie case against W. M. Tweed. The charge is, that he has de? frauded the Oounty of Mew York of large sums. The blood-honndB of the law aro apon the tracks ot the Ne iv York swindlers;- We hope that tbe work will begin in this State. Had we a Governor of the Huffman stamp, and a State At? torney-General like Champlain, of the Stute of New York, we would have an investigation ordered for to-morrow. The work for South Carolina cannot begin too early. Already one O. F. Leslie has left the State and is investing largely in Now York, Who can toll how soun his associates in crime and corrup? tion niiy follow .suit? We fear that when the period rolls on for the ac? countability, which we expeob to be ex noted of many of our State officiais, they will be found to have gone hence, carry? ing with them their ill-gotten gains. The inquisition should begin ut once. But "where is the once strong arm of South Carolina?" Echo answers where? Whilst troth replies: Weak, trembling gangrened. Alasl for the cause of justice and of South Carolina! CITY MEAL AND STATE MEAD.-The Union ask?, "Is there a cat in the meal?" and wakes np to the questions some time since raised by U3 in respect to the City Hall abd new market. Of couree, there i8 "a cat in the meal." We have already showed its head, its eyes, and its tail. We have showed its tracks, and, we think, made its "fur?y." Of coarse, there is a very big cat in tho meal, and ' we hnpo the Union may catch it. Bettor is it for tho Union to look after the cats in our meal than to trouble itself too much with the Tammany oats. And, whilst at this business of inves? tigation, we desire to put this question categorically.' ls there not, Union, some larger cats in the State meal? Do not aonfine your attention to tho municipal oats. Tho genuine "wild cits" are to be fouad in the State House, and you oan help to catch them. Will you help? Dare you? Another point is this, and it shows to the community that beautiful jewel of consistency which is set in the Union's head, and shines so bright. When the committee of tho Tax-payers' Conven? tion, headed by Mr. E. J. Scott, asked of Treasurer Parker an examination of his books in the public behalf, the Union, we remember, warmly sustained Treasuror Parker'Tu his refusal to per? mit the examination asked for. It sus? tained this corrupt official fully. Now, it says that a statement is duo to the public from tho Mayor and Council, and adds: "No man holding a public office has tho right to stand upon his dignity, and rufuso to give information which the public have a right to know." Now, this is sound doctrine; but how, O, Union, how does the Btuud you take, now, com? paro with youl defence of Parker's im? pudent cl ii i ni l -? <m ? ? Mit. EDITOR: lu reply to a "squib" in tho PUONIX, this morning, the public are invitod to examine the daily record of punishments at the Penitentiary dur? ing Superintendent Lee's administra? tion, recorded by his own clerk; also, the daily record since the pr en ou t regimen succeeded to the honors of the place, and judge for themselves, by compari? son, as to the inhumanity practiced there now. Blind marones, (in which a oonviot waa killed,) suspensions by the thumbs, with scourgings, shower baths, ko., were almost of daily oocurrenoe, os tho record will show, were suspended by tue direotors, at an oariy meeting, in conjunction with the present Superin? tendent, and the shower bath only re? vived in extreme oases of atrocious con? duct, and very rarely then. I should be ashamed to ask whether Mr. Leo was a Democrat or no, thinking that polities Bhould not be boosted into all. matters: but, unfortunately, in those days, the question is, who does it? not what is dono. A DIRECTOR. H. I. Kimball is the "self-made maa" in the last Chimney Comer. And now let the Chimney Corner send to Georgia and get tne picture of some of the men that H. I. Kimball has nn-made. {Savannah Republican, ?.A. Director'? Response.'* In reply to oar suggestion that the death of Brown, the oonviot, at the State Penitentiary, uhoulci pat tho Superin? tendent ns well as others on the defence, "A Director" answers what he calls oar "squib." It is obvions that the "squib" in reply does not meet the points made by ns-that the death of the eonviot was ander cruel oiroumstanoen, and that the Superintendent should be put on his de? fence. Is he ati?vo suspicion? Does "A Director" object to a~full investiga? tion?' We do not say th it the Superin? tendent should bo condemned because lio is of the dominant party. But we did say, and do repeat, that had the Super? intendent been "a Denioornt," we would h-ive had a howl about the "down-trod? den negro." "A Director" ought to seo the point, if ho does not. - "A 'Word to the Wise." As our readers have no doubt observed for themselves, the hope of our enemies is (hat the arbitrary measures inaugu? rated in certain parts of South Carolina may provoko the oitizens to Eome mea? sure of resistance. This hope is in? dulged, to the end that an oxause may bo furnished for still further tightening the "coil of the empire" around the South. President Grants wants this excuse, and they who in South Carolina have secured Federal intervention und military law for purposes of their own, also want this excuse. As to tho South Carolina fae tiou, hoaded by A. S. Wallace, the utter? ance of Mr. Hago discloses their animus. Their motto is, "Cry havoc! and let slip tho dogs of war," upon this Stute, or, ut least, upou curtain parties thereof. In view of this, as we havo bufare said, it is incumbent upou un to not circum? spectly, to take no untenable ground, to keep ever-even technically-right. Wu aro certainly in a deplorable coudition. Whilst tho prospect is dark indeed, we eoe no occasion for nervous fears or un? manly misgivings. We seo no occasion for inactivity or despondency. As well as we may, lot us, with heads erect and "level" and spirits undaunted, pursue each of us his daily avocations. Lut the bnsiuoss of the State be prosecuted to tho best advantage. Lot the farming, the mercantile and the mechanical inter? ests of our peoplo meet with no un? called for neglect. We havo thi* faith before expressed-that these waves that ?lave rolled over us must are long recede. We have this faith, that what there is of justice ia our cause will surely tri? umph. We feel that these words, addressed to our fellow-citizens, iu sober earnestness and deep sympathy, will bo received in the spirit wherewith we send them forth on this Sabbath morning. The press, thus far, is unshackled. It ought to meet the occasion. It has great princi? ples to lift up before the country, atid a discreet, firm, just public sentiment to encourage and build up. For one, ns a journalist of Carolina, we intend to do what in us lies, to mitigate the blow and lo temper the great calamity that has fallen upon our stricken State. Whilst we have no apology to make for orimes committed, and no disposition to shield those fairly provod to have vio? lated the law, yet wo do raise our voice sgainst the causeless measure which puts a lurga portion of the Stuto under the law of the bayonet and the sword. Some there are. wo know, who cannot appreci? ate tho deep feelings with which we ro fleet upou tho indiscriminate arrests and rudo incarceration alike of innocent and guilty persons. Como what may, wo shall stund by thu Stuto. Sarvico in her behalf is agreeable-it is sweet and honorable. Tho Statu of South Caro? lina, in her distress, most needs tho de? votion of her true sons and noble daughters. Let us now stand hy her broken altars, and even in our poverty and weakness, pour upon them tho rich libations of an ardent patriotism. Our State Of? ve rn tn tut - A Great IrV?ti tatlon. At this trying moment to nino Coun? ties in South Carolina, when military terrorism prevails, and orops are aban loned, and business is paralyzed, where is tho State Government? Gov. Scott, Domptroller-General Neagle, Treasurer Parker, and, we believe, Attornoy-Gen sral Chamberlain, are all in New York. What a State Government! South Ca? rolina in her present condition, and ' aearly all the State authorities ia Now fork, whero the effort is making lo solve .he bond and Kimpton problem. Tho Uhief Magistrate of South Carolina ookintj after State bonds in Wall stroet, whilst important events aro transpiring n this State. What of tho arrest and .tonQnomont of our citizens by the wholesale, in comparison with tho prioe )f bonds? What is the writ of habeas iorp??, in comparison with a State- bond -new-down to thirty-nine conta on the Jollar? Truly, we have como to a pretty pass! SHAMEFUL BREACH OP THE PEACE. The corner of Broad and Meeting streets was tho scene of a shameful breach of the public peace, yesterday, between 10 and ll o'clock. - 3 The parties to it were Trial Juntioe T. J. Mackey and Mr, Wi J. Whaley, the reporter of the Netra. Considering the number of shots exchanged, it ia won? derful that no injury resulted to tho an? tagonists, The oircuuQBtanooB of the ouse are these, as far as wo nra able to gut her them: . Trial Justice Mackey was standing under tho porch of tho guard house, when Mr. Whaley was on his way to get his usual morning report of the Mayor's Court. AH he was crooning towards the guard house, Mr. Mackey confronted him, and warned him to defend himself, at the same time drawiog an army re? volver loaded in five barrels, the other being found empty, und firing at him Mr. Whaley halted midway in the street and quickly returned his fire, until his five-barreled GOU'B revolver was dis? charged, whou he raised his weapon in token of having exhausted his means of defence. Mr. Mackey's attention waa culled to thu fuct that he was firing on an unarmed man, and he ceased, having ex? ploded the five barrels of the army re? volver and one loaded barrel of nn extra pistol, which he drew from his pocket when his first gave out. At this junc? ture. Trial Justice Levy ordered the arrest of the parties, oud they were con? ducted to the Mayor's Court room, where thoy entered into recognizances ip tho sum of 81,000 each to Keep tho peace, so wilfully disregarded. Mr. E. D. Edstou becoming Mr. Whaley'a surety, and Geu. W. J. Whipper Trial Justice Mackey*?. Under instructions of Chief of Police Hendricks, thy crowd which had been drawn to the locality by the occurrence was dispersed and matters quieted dowu. A short, whilo after the difficulty, our reporter saw Mr. Mackey, aud under? stood him to acknowledge that lie hud tired thc Iii st shot, but subsequently he informed him that he lind misappre? hended his remarks. There aro a num? ber of reliable citizens who assert mo?t positively that he did fire tho first ?hot. ftlr. Hamilton, of tho Pavilion Hotel, who was passing up Meeting street at the timo of tho encounter, said to our reporter, last evening, that ho heard tile first shot fired distinctly, and that the hall carno in close proximity to him, chipping off a pieeo of brick from tho lire-proof building, which struck him on the chin. Mr. Mackey was firing in thal direction. We have no other ob? ject in refurriug to tho first shot so par? ticularly, thou to show who originated au affair which outraged tho reputation of a city so proverbial for its quiet. [Charleston Courier, 28th. A CoitBEOTlON -lu our issue of tho 13th, we published au article headed "Aro wo in Peace or War?" which wu find did much injustice to tho soldiers who were sent to arrest Capt. J. Banks Lyle; and as we have no inclinatiou to make falso statements against any one, we deem it our duty lo correct thosn in tho article alluded to. Wo thought tho source from wheoco wc obtained tho iu- ' formation perfectly reliable, or wc should not have published it. A gentle? man who was present when tho soldiers went to Capt. Lyle's house, and in whom the utmost reliance can bo placed, in? forms us that it is not truo that the soldiers oat tho breakf ist prepared for the students, nor did they bitch their horses in the froot yard among the shrubbery. While thero they did uoth ing to iujuro tho premises, or that was discourteous to the inmates of tho house. Tb/it they fed their horses from Capt. Lyle's crib is true, but they say they aro ready lo pay for tho corn when tho captain prosonts his bill. They paid a odored woman to cook their breakfast for them-tho officers eating in tho negro quarters. WTe at>k those of our ootempo raries who published our former state? ment, to publish this as un act of justice to the parties wronged.- Union Times. CONSISTENCY.-Tho Columbia Union, of the ilth instant, in giving au account of thc incendiarism which caused the lato destruction of property in Chicago, Ii!., says that thu burglars nod thieves wero summarily dealt with (after being caught) hy tho people, ami that cases sometimes occur when peop'o aro justi? fied in taking the law into their own hau da. Wc sup poso that tho Union moms that this summary vengeance will do in a Northern State; but in York, where, in ono night during tho last y par, thirteen distinct fires occurred in sight of Yorkville, lt will not do. Tlr's is tho doctrine of tho Union, a papor supported and kepi alive by the respectable merchants of Colum? bia.-Lancaster Ledger. HOMICIDE.-Tho police, yesterday, re? ceived information that a negro, n*med Isaac Bradley, had killed Lewis Heath, a man of his own color, at Upper Three RUUB, South Carolina, and that he was probably lurking somewhere about Au? gusta. The men, it seems, had planted together, aud had a quarrel about the di? vision of tho crop. After a disputo of nome time in length, Bradloy lowerod a ?bot-gun whioh ho had with him, and diet Heath, killing him instantly. Brad? ley is described OH a mulatto, with sandy Im ir, and about six feet in height. [ Augusta Constitutionalist. A Cincinnati groonryman, who keeps \ vicious dog, has had a verdict for B5.000 damages given against him in f ?vor of n little girl whom the beast had born. A block of stores in Portland, Maine, owned by J. B. Brown, and occupied by several merchants, was partly burned on Wednesday night. Loss 850,000. Tho passenger train tho other day ran From Macon to Columbus, 101 milos, in bhree hours. Tho dwelling house of Mr. J. W. Do? rre vi I le, nf O ran gob u rg, waa destroyed by fire on the 26th.

The PHONIX office is supplied with all necessar y material for as handsomecardp, bill heads, posters, pamphlets, haud-billf, circulars, aud other printing that maybe desired, as any office in the South. Give us a call and test our work. The fact that Grant's proclamation of martial law in a portion of South Caroli? na, was issued iu Washington on the 17th instant, while he was in Maine, nearly 1,000 miles away, is proof posi? tive that tho whole matter had been ar? ranged before he left. The issuing of tho proclamation of warning was simply a sham. It was intended from the first to declare martial law. Mr. Loverett ht aiming for the topmost round of thu ladder in turnip-raising. He presented us, yesterday, with several particularly fine specimens of the Rota Baga and Flat Dutch varieties. Old John Robinson's big show-circus aud menagerie-exhibits on the lot South-west corner of Blanding and Sum? ter streets, to-morrow-afternoon and uight. The old man is a native of this State, and his fellow-citizens will-as they always have-give him a hearty wel? come '72 is leap year, on which occasion the Democratic party will leap into power, aud tho Radicals leap out of existence. Whereat all good peoplo will leap foi joy. There are to be two eclipses of thc moon, two of tho sun nnd one of Gen. Grunt-which latter will be total and visible iu all parts of tho United States. Thc new year begins on Monday, which is to give the girls u fair start in the ruc< fur leap year privileges. We call attention to the notice of thc sale of a valuable plantation on the Con garee River. It is a fine opportunity foi a good investment. See Mr. MoCul lough's notice. A gentleman from the country-un used to the telegraph-sent a messagi from thu Columbia Hotel, by the Atlau tic Telegraph line; and as he was leav mg the office, the gong for d'nuer sound ed, when he remarked, in a coufidentiu whisper, to a friend, "There-my de s patch has gone." "Time is money," and if by getting tho one the other will follow, call am interview Mr. George Bruns. Ho is i time-keeper. The Working Christian, (the organ o tho Baptist denomination in this State, has been removed to Columbia. Th first number made its appearance jes tcrdny.

Tho authorities are so exereised witl reference to Ka Klux, that they wer about to make a raid on John Robinson' circus, at Chester, on Friday night-i being understood that members of th mystic clan would be present. It wa afterwards discovered, mach to the cha grin of the officials, that it was merely burlesque performance in the ring. Grant's special friend Baez, the bise President of San Domingo, is again i trouble, with some doubt of his abilit to maintain himself long enongh to sig a treaty of annexation. He and his ol enemy, Cabrai, had a fight at San Jua last week, and Baez was thrashed out c his boots, ho and his whole army bavin precipitately fled. LATEST FROM Yonii.-Wo learn thc three ladies in York have been arresto and put in prison, on tho charge c aiding and abetting the "Ku Klux." ] seems that tho war on the women ht begun. Shall wo hear next of theurrei of children? A PEACEFUL GATHBIIINO.-It is rumo cd that during fuir week there will be concentration here of 10,000 Unite States troops lo keop the peace. W give tho rumor as wo hear it, althoug it is proper to say we discredit it. I however, tho impression has been mac upon tho Government at Washingtoi that such a precaution will be necessar; wo deem it proper to say, that whilst v would bo ploasod-in a financial point i view-to see the troops here, we belie1 that there will ba not the slightest oco sion for such a movement. In this, v presume that the Union will agree wil us-unless, indeed, it is still disturbe with the vision of gathering olanB r sponding to the signal of come Soathei Ku Klux Roderick Dha. We hope have a large gathering here iu Colomb during fair week. The fair, the tonrn ment, tho races, tho ball, the survivoi meeting and suppor, General Earlj oration, tho ladies' bazaar, &c, &o. those we expect to attract a large orov hither, bat it will be a orowd on a peac ful mission bont. They will como in I half of poaoo and its fruits, and we fe assured that the only malignant fir that may prevail, will be those enkindl in tho breasts of the sohemers and tra ors, whose work we hope will not allowed to mar onr annual re-uni and our yearly peaoe-oflering.
