OHABTJESTON, January 8.-Arrived iteamskip Champion, New York; sehr. T. H. Hanoook, Mew York. In ono of bis recent legislative speeches, Bowen said: "I know of an inatftn?e ths& hanpenod io this very city, in v/hioh 8350,000 of State bonds were hypothecated for a loan of $100,000, and th? bonds hypo? thecated were allowed to be carried to New York and sold for forty-one cents DO tbe dollar. The most shameless part A the transaction was, that the surplus was nob turned over to the State Trea inry, but was divided out among three if tho speculators. All these facts I am ready to prove.'-' The Boston Post, after Blinding to Scott, Parker, Chamberlain & Co.'a bond mindle, remarks of Scott: "He contenta himself with laying the responsibility upon hia political oppo lents, and seeks to hide himself and his jompanions in tho smoke and dust of -ho Ku I?!uz. excitement, vriiicli his friend 3 ra nt was only too ready to raise for purposes likewise of his own. "A pretty pair of pub lio officers-a President and a Governor-ordering up ?he cavalry and infantry to silence oppo lilion and suppress the clamors of in lignant citizens. And as if to punish ?he devoted people of South Carolina jecauae he is detected in the sot of rob ling them, the Governor recommends to ?he IiSsjislatore to pass a force law for ?he collection of over-duo taxes, and jompel tho acceptance of the "State louds at par for all property purohased it these delinquent sales. Thus are tbs mpoverished popnlation to be driven >ut of their homes, and the Scott ring san dispose of the bonds, which they received at a destructivo discount, at par rates, and thereby make immediate for ?unes. And in this way is fraud to hold ip its head, while driving forth ?bs help ess victims from their bornes and their ?utive State. Is there anything in Eng end's treatment of Ireland worse than .his?" The New York Tribune says, speaking if Scott & Co.: "Certain it is that their guilt is as dearly determined as that of our own nunioipal banditti, ..whose audacity so nuoh resembles theirs. We are heartily lick of the sentimental attempts of 'party nanagera' to oover up the corruption, iishouesty and extravagance of the iarpet-bag governments. The plea that ixposure of these frauds will injure the Elepnblioan party is as wicked as it is tilly. Better, a ..thousand times, that the party be rent asunder than that any Kima for which it can be justly held re? mona i bio be covered tip in its own house. No party can long live with such a cancer concealed in its bosom. But the party is not responsible for the criminal dubo leety of a few offioiais who bear its name; though it would be justly held to itrict account if it should be accessory to ?ny attempt at concealment of the of lenoes to whioh we have oalled attention. We are glad that it ia too late to eoreon the rascalities whioh have been perpe? trated in the Carolinas. We have folly exposed and denounced these ounning thefts, and leave the issue with the souris and the public, more than ever oonvinoed that this is specially a time for letting in the light into dark places, and bringing rognes everywhere to righteous punishment." G KANT A DB FAULT KI;.-The Washing? ton correspondent of the Savannah News, telegraphing on the 2.8th, details the fol? lowing interesting item: The greatest sonaation. has prevailed bere, to-day, caused by the discovery that no less a person than President Grant has for more than twenty years been a defaulter.* It seems that during the Mexican war, Qrant, who was then a lieutenant in the army, acted as com? missary and quartermaster. At the close of the war, mero was a deficit of 85,000 in his accounts. His attention was re? peatedly oalled to it by the accounting officers of the Treasury, and repeated demands were made upon him to pony np, but he never condesoended to take the least notioe of the unanswerable let tor* which Tcrc addressed to liiui. IL had spent the monoy, and, of course, WSB unable to return it; for in those days bis oharaoter and habits were auoh that no one would think of lending or giving him even so much as a five dollar note. In 1862, through some hocus pocus, a bill was engineered through Congress, appropriating $1,000 to him, in compen? sation of a sum of equal amount, alleged by him to have been stolen from bim in 1848, when a quartermaster in Mexico. But, to Grant s great disgust, the Trea? sury offioiais pounced upon this $1,000, and carried iW to the orodit of the old score. It was then thought that there might be some chance of getting the re mainder, and agaiu was Grant notified that ho was in default and urged to set? tle his little bill, but it was of no avail; and to this day, with the exception of the $1,000 orodit, Ulysses S. Grant is shown on the Treasury ledgers to have owed tho Uni ted States 95,000 for moro than twenty years. Any explananation his white-washing frionds oac offer of this transaction, tho poople will be vory glad to hear.

Chere is great carelessness, if not igno anee, in the matter of punctuation, p hereby muoh misunderstanding arises. Jany persons even emulate the ancient vritors, in leaving out'all marka or divi ions of any kind, like the barber who ?rote over his door, "What do you bink I shave you for nothing and give rou a drink?" which was interpreted by ome to imply an easy shave and a moro? ng tipple to be got for the asking. Snob, lowever, was not the meaning of our ? or t hy. to nao r, who, on being arraigned )efore the magistrate for what seemed a ilear case of deoeption, exolaimed, 'WhatI do you suppose I shave you for lothing and give you a drink?" Points were first used by Aristophanes, i grammarian of Alexandria, 200 yearB 3. C., bot were not generally uaed until ?he modern system was introduced at he beginning of tho sixteenth century >y a learned printer of Venioe, named Vlanutius. Punctuation not only serves o makes an author's meaning plain, but >fteu saves it from being entirely mis? conceived. And there aro many oases vhero a ohango of points completely dters the sentiment. The following an icdoto of nu English statesman, who mee took advantage of this fact to free ii m self from an embarrassing position, s an amusing illustration: Having obarged the officer of the Go? vernment with dishonesty, he was re? wired by Parliament, under a heavy penalty, publioly to retract tho acensa? ron in the Honse of Commons. At the appointed time, he appeared with a written recantation, which he read aloud is follows: "I said ho was dishonest, it s true; and I am sorry for it." This was satisfactory, but what was the sur? prise of r?M?nin>ml thu following day to iee tho retraction printed in the paper thus: "I said ho was dishonest; it is kr ne, and I nm sorry for it." By a sim? ple transposition of tho comma and lemi-oolon, tho ingenious slanderer rep? resented himself to tho country, not Duly as having made no recantation, but avon ns having reiterated the ohargo in tho very fy oe of Parliament. THE NORTHERN BOND-HOLDERS MOV? ING.-Gov. Soott and his fraudulent bond ring aro muoh mistuken if they Dongratulato themselves that they have escaped the oonsequenoes of their mani? fold crimes. The people who are most interested in this matter, next to the down-trodden tax-payers of this State, are those who bavo been dofrauded by tho illegal issue of tho securities of the State. We are in receipt of a letter from curtain gontlemeu in Baltimore, under date of the 27th December, by which we learn that there will bo a mooting of the holders of South Carolina bonds ut the Eutaw House, iu that city, on tho 10th inst. The purpose of meeting is to de? vise such moans and adopt suoh mea? sures as will soouro thom their interest, and to proceed against those officials who have been guilty of wholesale frauds. The movement moots with the hearty sympathy of our people, as will any steps that will bring down justice upon the heads of th? corrnpt ring who have "defrauded tho State and mined its credit."- Charleston Courier. VU* AdTmnlogM ot O ol a mb Ul. We cnn truthfully olaim for Colombia not a few mercantile advantages. Oar merchante are, ai i general role? an enterprising and a liberal class. And in the several departments of business, we hold that wo are well and worthily repre soured*. " ^ -1 Here will be found a good market for ?OTTON. In Cotton Town aro to be found tho Messrs. O^Neale, of whom it may ba eaid: "Lawrence; virtuous father and virtuous son." Near by are Messrs. Copeland k Beardeu, quiet and modest, but sound and trae. Coming down is Mr. Chambers, a veteran buyer, and near him is Mr. Thompson Barle, a young and active speculator, and rising slowly but surely to wider operations. Beaching much lower down to the neigh? borhood of the railroad whistle and the murmuring river, wilt be found the Mesara. Crawford, a firm uniting the sagacity of age with the energy of youth ; and Messrs. Wells & Caldwell, names long and honorably linked with .?silk like cotton;" and Mr. James K. Friday, an old and tried stager, who will be found at his stand Friday, ns?well as every other day in tho week, except Sun? day; and last, though not loust, Mr. Jonathan M. Blakely will be found to illustrate now the samo integrity and foresight that have long oharaoterized bis career as a cotton bnyer. So much for our Columbia cotton buyers. We think they will be found to give good prices. Nor do we need mnoh improvement in our sax GOODS department. Shiver Sc Co. are known far and near for their enterprise and magnitude of their ope? rations. The Kinards, Porter Sc Steele, Love & MoOreery, C. F. Jackson, all have their respective flags raised on Main street; whilst other establishments, also, hang dry goods banners out. In tho CLOTHES line, the Messrs. Swaffleld, father and son, and both relia? ble, Wiley & Childs, Goodman, Strauss and other establishments represent Co? lumbia trade in this department. In the GROCERY line, that pleasant and essential line, we aro well represented There is Edward Hope, on ont-spokoi man and popular merchant.

In tbe TIN line, there stand A.Palmci well known, he and Capt. Press. Browr and Smith, a little in the rear, an Farrow to be found always at work. In the BOOK department, tbo honoi are divided between Messrs. Bryan ? MoCarter, long and high in the businesi and Messrs. Daffie Sc Chapman, who ar marohing on-excepting thut quite ri oently Mr. Stokes, of book-bindia fame, has quietly moved up with hi stationery, &c, and taken position. In the DRUG business, there aro D Miot, Dr. Hein ?tah, Messrs. Geiger McGregor, Mr.'Jackson and Mr. Walt Fisher. Ia the CROCKERY department, Cap Stanley stands alone.

In this field aro ? McCormick, Mrs. Beid and Mrs. Sm to say nothing of those who hold Messrs. Shiver A: Co.'s banner in line. Washington Peints from .?Washington Capital." THE QUESTION OF AMNESTY.- The Washington Capital, giving a raoy re sume ot Sen a to.' ,1 debating, says: "Robortaou, tbe oaut-iron mao? called for the regular order, and amnesty again drifted gut in a ?ca of debate. The pirates wont for it. Morton, hating Vaneo, the contesting North Carolina Senator, w^rse than ever amnesty, amended the bill so that Vanee conld in nowise be admitted. Sumner, believing that justice should flow Southward at the same time with wrong, waw on hand with hie proposition to give equal rights to an unequal number of darkies, when? ever and wherever tbey might be found. He wanted them to ride in the best ?lacon on oar railroads, and sleep in the est places in our hotels, bai. orejad ice, too strong for his rhetoric, vanquished him, and his amendmenb went to the wall by one majority. Two carpet-bag Senators made appeals for justice to the Southern States, claiming that by the postponement of amnesty, and the con? sequent exclusion of its best men frcm office, public affairs in the South had fallen into the hands of the worst class of men and most unprincipled kind of adventurers. For six boars, the Senate kept np this stream of talk, and then adjourned through mere exhaustion and hunger, leaving amnesty to come in a future session as a concession wrung from an unwilling majority only by the hardest compulsi?n. Bab! Two weeks of tho United States Senate shows a piti? ful record! Wrangles, quarrels, dissen? sions, bombastic and pr?tentions decla? mations, and not a single measure en? acted which has any national impor? tance." SUMNER'S ONE TEEM.-With Thurs? day came the holiday adjournment. Sumner introduced his one-torm Presi? dential resolution, with the proviso that it should not take effect until after March, 1873. Tho sly old fox wanted to capture tho votes of those Senators who aro now working like beavers to re-no miaato Grant, to tho exclusion of all other business. Conkliug heard it read with bis usual patronizing courtliness. Mortou grinned ut it as satanically as if it were intended to head him off some? where. Carpenter giggled at it in that school-boy way of bis, as if it were in? tended as u hugo joke, and as if ho want? ed the galleries to understand that they "couldn't fool bim, you kuowl" Stew? art and Chandler, who can't seo more than a mile into a mill-stone, pinched their flabby cheeks to see that they were not asleep, and then stuck their eyes out an inch or two in a wild, desperate, but useless endeavor to comprehend tho situ? ation. Cameron and Brownlow woke up from a profound slumber in time to catch tho small words in tho resolution, and then went baok to sleep again, Ca? meron being Grst assured that his ser? vices were not needod to make a motion to go into executive session, and Brown? low, also, that bis vote was not needed on a cut-und-dried administration tnea suro. The resolution was read and re? ferred for printing, and things were as calm and corene as over. "GRANT WANTS MORE POWER.-As if to cap tho climax of the important pro? ceedings of tho ten days previous, on this day Qraut sent iu the report of the Civil Service Commission, with a mes? sage asking for more power to do the work therein proscribed. This little dodge of his Excellency deserves some mention hore. Grant is always asking for 'moro power' when ho is not receiv? ing presienta and gifts. There is a neigh borhoud quarrel in the South, and Grant rushes to Congress for 'more power.' There are bogus votes in Now York, and again'more power.' A fire breaks ont! in Chicago, and the 'mord power' Presi? dent puts the place under military disci? pline, and causes all those citizens to be shot who didn't commit suicide. Grant is a subtle and designing Oliver Twist, and ho will continue to cry for 'more pawer' until ho either becomes an empe? ror or a private citizen-the latter, we hope. Appreciating the 'more power' occupant of tho Whitu House, Sumner offered a resolution calling for a one-term amendment to the Constitution, but the Senate, or rather Conkling, which is all tho same thing, disdainfully refused to consider it." A Gran's THROAT FATALLY CUT HY THE CORR OF AN APPLE.-Miss Mary Ellen Foy, the young lady whose throat was cut by tho oore of an apple in the Nor mal School, a few days ago, is dying. Sho was ontting the apple, aud while in the act of swallowing a portion of the core, it cut the lining of her throat and several of tho arteries like a knife. Her classmates were astonished to soe her fall over on the floor and vomit largo quanti? ties of blood. She was carried to tho police station, but little could be done for her beyond keeping hor perfectly quiet. Her mother, who had been sum? moned, was not allowed to remove her nutil next morning, for fear of fatal con? sequences. Tho poor woman Bat in the station house watching her daughter all night. Next day she took her home, where she has lain ever since, slowly wasting away. It is impossible for her to swallow anything whatever, and her stomach has become so contracted that nothing can enter it. She is so weak from loss of blood and starvation that tho physicians in attendance refuse to ?rai?uuu uuy operation on her, or even to insert a silver feediug tube below the wound, as has boon successfully done in other instances where tho mouth or throat have boon iu jared. They say that sho oould not survive an instant. ? SMALL-FOX PATIENT JJURIED ALIVE. Tho Milwaukee Wisconsin vouches for thu following: A few days ago, a mau residing in tho Ninth Ward, named llaskowski, after being sick with the small-pox for sjme time, died, aa was supposed. According to tho regulations recently passed by the Board of Health, he was buried shortly after his decease. His sister, who, it seems, was not satisfied with tho hasty manner in which her brother was dis? posed of, was so worked up by the cir? cumstances, and so certain that all was not right, that to satisfy horself, she had his body exhumed some six hours after the burial. To her own joy, and to tho amazement of those who had pro? nounced tho man dead, it was found that I indications of lifo still remained in tho j body of tho buried one. He was at 1 onoo taken hack to his house, and after j considerable exertion and the applying ; of tho proper restoratives, bo was vir ! tually brought to life ngain. He is now j living and doing well. Fresh Garden Seeds. PEAS, Deans, Corn, Oabbago, and overy variety of frosh and genuine Hoods, for aalo hv W. C. FISHER, Druggist, Jan -1 Opposite Columbia Hntol. It is a remarkable fact that carpet bsgis/m I originated a great many year? ago in Massachusetts. There is a vener? able pamphlet bearing date April 18, 1689, and eatitlad "The Declaration of the Oentlemen, Merchants and Inhabi? tants of Boston and the Conntry Adja? cent," giving an account of "the late r?volution in New England." Thia [ papor complains that Sir Edmond An? dros had been brought from New York to be their Governor, and proceeds: The Qovernmeut was no sooner in these Hands, bat care was taken to load Preferments upon such men as wore ?Irangers to, and haters of, the People; j and every one's Observation bath noted, what Qualifications recommended a Man to publiok Offices and Employments, only here and th efe a good Man was used, when others oould not easily be bad; the Governor himself, with Asser? tions now and then falling from him, made us jealous that it would bo thought1 for his Majesties Interest, if this peo? ple were r?movod and another suc? ceeded in their room: And these far? fetched Instruments that wore grow? ing rich among us, would gravely in? form us that it was not for his Ma? jesties Interest that ice should thrive But of all our oppressors we were chiefly squeezed by a crew of abject Persons, fetched ii om New York, to be the Tools of tho Adversary, standiug at our right hand; by these were extraordinary and intolerable Fees extorted from every one I upon all oooasions, without any Rules bnt those of their own insatiable Avarioe and Beggary; and even the probate of a Will must now cost as many Pounds per? haps as it did Shillings heretofore; nor could a smaii volume contain the other Illegalities done by theso Horse-Leeches in the two or three years that they have been sucking of us. * * * Persons who did bnt peaceably object against tho raising of Taxes without an Assembly, have been for it fined, some ! 20, some 30, some others 50 Pounds.

Such was this ancient craft in Massa? chusetts (imported from New York) nearly 200 years ago. FROM THK AI/TAB TO THE GRAVE.-On last Wednesday, Mr. John Henry Boraef, residing with his uncle, at No. 617 North Thirteenth street, was taken ill with the small-pox. He called upon his physi? cian, who advised him to retire to his ! room, as ho had a severe attack of the disease mentioned above. Mr. Boraef, who was about twenty-two years of age, had for some time been engaged to an estimable young lady, named Mary A. Awing. On Thursday Mr. Boraef found himself muoh worse, and became alarmed. Tho disease, instead of at? tacking him outwardly, settled inwardly, which is always dangerous and generally results fatally. On Friday his condition wail critical, and the physician said there was no hope. The dying young man then expresied a desire to be married to the young lady to whom he was eogaged. It was found impossible to secure a clergyman to per? form the marriage coremony, owing to the disease of which be was dying, and Alderman Hagey was oalled in. Articles of agreement were drawn np and were signed 'by Mr. Boraef in bis chamber. The young lady also signed them, and the Alderman put bia official seal npon the document, and declared the parties man and wife. On Saturday morning the young mun died, and the next day was buried. The remains wore interred in North Laurel Hill. And now comes the sad sequel to the above: "BORARP.-Suddenly, on the 16tb, Mary A. Boraef, wife of the late John Boraef, daughter of Lacy A. and the late Samuel Ewing." The cause of death-it seems almost unneoeasary to stato it-was small-pox. {Philadelphia Post.
