COLUMBIA, 8. C. Fri ay horning, January 26 1872. Personal. The curd published by Mr. J. P. Tho? mas, relativo to myself, may be misun? derstood. The agreement with him was that he should conduct tho political de? partment of the PHOENIX, and, at the same time, write a series of articles on the commercial advantages of Columbia. He went beyond this, and attempted to exercise entire oontrol over the columns of the paper. AB proprietor, I justly olaim certain rights. My objeotion to the publication of tho Bluo Ridge article was merely on account of what I con? ceived a reflection upon myself-as, under the local head, on the 20th inst., I noticed the enterprise encouragingly. My course has boen consistent. I cannot oonsent to bliudly follow any man. Let the tone of the paper speak for itself. JULIAN A. SELBY. A Word Alore to tile Young Men. In Wednesday's issue, we touched, in a cursory way, on the duties and pros? pects of the coming campaign. We at? tempted to show that silent influences are more potent than loud harangues; and that to the former wo must look for even partial BUCCOSS. Tho question now presents itself, "Who can exercise this influence, and who will prove the most officient agents in the work of political reform?" Wo reply, the young men. In them are found that enthusiasm, that elasticity of spirit, that energy, that physical vigor, which are essential re? quisites of successful workers. In ad? dition to these natural endowments, the yonth of the State possess other strong elements of success. In the first place, they can realizo and appreciate the pre? sent situation of affairs more easily than any other class of our white citizens; for, arriving at the age of maturity, either while the ravages of war were being felt through the land, or under a Radical administration, they have for? gotten many of the prejudices and sen? timents which formerly diotated the po? licy of the South. This our older class of oitizens find themselves unable to do. Old ideas have beuu bo firmly implanted in them as to bo only with the greatest difficulty eradiaated. Ia the next place, the young men can more easily persuade our colored friends of their sincerity in accepting the situa? tion, and their assertions will at least be heard with patience; while the protesta? tions of their seniors-those who have taken a decided stand in the ranks of the old Democracy, however sincere they be-will pass nnheoded. This is what our young friends can accomplish, ond if they will make a determined effort, thoir influence for good will be most certainly felt. We believe that the majority of our colored friends are anxious to do what is right. They have been estranged from the white people of the South by the malignant falsehoods perpetrated by Northern adventurers, to the effect that the .success of the white man means slavery to the black; and if they can be divested of this absurd idea, they will with one accord array themselves on tho side of truth, honesty and virtue. Yoong men, you are to accomplish all this. To you our common mother calla iu her hour of trial. The past belongs to your fathers; tho preaont aud tho future belong to you. You must battle for your inheritance. It is too much blessed by nature to bu relinquished without a struggle. Como forward, then, and suffer it not to pass into the banda of strangers and aliens. ?-??-? KEROSENE KU KLUX IN NEW YORK. Somo years ugo the city of Now York was greatly exasperated by tho acts of a baud of unknown rascals, who amused themselves by throwing vitriol on tho costly silks and velvets displayed ou tho public thoroughfares by tho dames aud maidens of that city. To-day tho same destructive practice has been revived, and ladies are now subjected to the annoyance and loss, of having their ele? gant dresses ruined by unexpected showers of kerosene thrown upon thom as they walk. This is a piece of refined and gratuitous cruelty, which should ho punished with great severity, for what can be more harrowing to tho female soul than tho loss of a violet colored eilk, or a purple velvet mantle? Mon, too, think of the emotions with which tho unhappy father, or husband, as tho caso may be, dives into his pocket in order to re-placo tho costly apparel thus destroyed! This is clearly a business re? quiring martial law, and a Ku Klux court, with Judge Bond, for example, to mete out speedy justice; uud, in the in? terests of our fair friends of Gotham, wo beg his Excellency the President to take the matter in baud without de? lay. -? * ? ? Darwin is affected; tho yellow foverin Buenos Ayres carried offull tho monkeys. Ttl? l?gislature. If we can place any confluence- ia the resolution to adjourn on the 16th prox., passed by the Senate a few days since, the dose of the oarront session of the Oeneral Assembly is drawing nigh. This delectable body bas been sitting for two months, and though loud protestations and lengthy harangues have been made, and numberless so-called investigating committees havo been appointed to in? quire into and expose the many aud well known frauds of the leading State I officials, absolutely nothing has boen ac? complished. Scott, Ohambetlain, Par? ker and Kimpton, who aro manifestly guilty of surreptitiously and fraudulently issuing bonds of the State to the amount of ?6,314,000, besides beiug engaged, as is alleged, in a number of other swindling schemes, involving smaller amounts, are likely to eecapo, so far as any aotion of the General Assembly is concerned, not only without punishment, but without even a word of censuro. During the canvass of 1870, when the honest citizens of the State, uuder the banner of the Union Beform Party, en? deavored to place the State in the hands of honest and efficient rulers, the sup? porters of the present regime met their arguments and earnest appeals to the people by acknowledging that lhere had been corruption and criminal incompe? tency in the previous Radical adminis? tration; that a cleansing of tho Augean stables was loudly demanded, but that the reformation should and would be made within tho ranks of the Republi? can party. A majority of tho voting population was persuaded by their ear? nest professions, and they were given another lease ol power for two years. How have they fulfilled their promises? Wo put it to them to answer if they have not grossly abased the confiding trust of their ignorant constituents, and so far from amelioration, rendered the reigning administration a greater stench by far in the nostrils of all honest and decent people than even the preceding one. Another Kielli for Capital. We aro convinced that tho develop? ment of the great water power of the Columbia Canal is safe in the hands of the Sprague manufacturing company. Their resident manager, Colonel Pearoe, and engineer Major Mahen, are active and capable men, and we believe that full justice will bo done by them to this great enterprise, when the requisite aud necessary legislation, relative to the pro? per location of the dam, shall have been secured. AB it is, they have gone tc work earnestly widening and deepening the canal bed. Between 100 and 201 hands are daily employed at a weekly ex? pense of over 31,000, which being frust capital distributed through the oity, tends no little, even now, to give impulse to business enterprise. Upon tho de volopment of this groat water power, Co lumbia will become a centre of manu fucturiug as well us of railroad interests and we shall have an inland town o largo trade and busy, stirring life. In addition to tho manufacturing cn tcrpriscs now in operation, or projected a paper factory is urgently called for ii this place or vicinity. As au iuvestrnen it is one of tho best that cun bo made comparative statistical tables show it ti bo tho very best at the North. Ou milder climate, cheaper labor and fuel less expensive liviug, etc, arc condition which will mako the business even mer profitable here. Moderate capital, judi ciously applied, is all that is needed t snake this a successful branch of IIUB? noss. There aro excellent sites iu th vicinity of Columbia and along tho lin of railroads, where an abundance t good water uud clear streams, in lieultL fill localities, can bo purchased ou vcr favorable terms. - i # ?-> When nearly every Radical membt of tho Uuitcd States Sonate takes occi sion to demand the purification of th Republican party, and outer their pr? tests against the corruption and ruKcalit which hus blockod up all tho avenues < official duty, it naturully suggests itsc that tho bust reform would bu to refort tho wholo batch out of office. lu curr ing on the next campaign, tho oppos tion cnn find abundant matoriul for a gumout and denunci >tiou without goin beyond tho utterances of tho Radio loaders. Out of their own mouths tin are condemned. PRESIDENT Tiniius.- This venoiub gentlemu.i, who now controls tho dost nies of Franco, has boeu guilty of a li tie picco of childishness by Hying into passion and resigning, and thou yiel ing to tho prayers of the Assembly which were, no doubt, very insincere' and withdrawing his resignation. J however, postpones tho crisis which li wi Uldra wul from tho head of thoGover ment threatened, aud may save Fran from another reign of terror or i ti tc roguum of anarchy and violenco.

The Now York Herald, ut Monday, in its review of doings in Wull street during the precoding week, says: "Tho Southern list was irregular, but in tho main strong, the chief feature beiug u rise of nearly six per ceut. in the now South Carolinas, fallowed by a re? action of nbout two per cent. The ad? vance in.tho South Carolinas was occa? sioned hy u movement on the part of some recent buyers of tho bonds to have tho State authorities repudiate fifty per cout. of tho debt-u course which would enable these parties to double the capi? tal they have invested. Naturally s.ch a step is strenuously opposed by the old holders of the hoods, whose interests ure of greater consequence, uud whose ob? jections have been forwarded in nume? rous letters to the State authorities. This speculation was oovered with n glit? tering proposition to tuukn the Uuion Trust Company the State's agent in this city-u movement bogottoo of antipathy to the present State agent, whose deal? ings with tho financial community iu Wall street have benn always of a satis? factory character. He is also an oppo? nent of the 'new departure.' for the ge? nerally credited reason that, bis own pri? vate means having been largely invested in the State's securities, ho is opposed to the repudiation contemplated in 'beal? ing' the debt fifty per ceut." DEATH FROM BLOWING DOWN A LAMP CHIMNEY.-Tho Luzerne Union records another terrible accident resulting from tho too common practico of blowing down n lamp chimney to extinguish tho light.

She attempted toextiugoif-h her coal oil lamp iu a very common man? ner, by blowing down tho chimuey. The lamp exploded, throwing over her tho blazing liquid, and in un instant she was enveloped in flames, and wus terribly burned.

TEMPERANCE CELEBRATION.-The Sous of Temporunce, in Columbia, celebrated their first anniversary last evening.

They then decked themselves iu tho regalia and badges of tho order, aud, forming iu double rank, marched in procession, enlivened with the stirring music of Ly Brand's band, down Main street aud up Plain to the Baptist Church. After prayor by tho Rev. Manning Brown, the Chaplain, Mr. John A. Elkius, D. G P., introduced Professor J. P. Stuoltzer, of Wullialla, who had beeu invited to deliver an ad? dress before the division. I'roi essor Sineitzer spoke with earnestness and power, and held tho largo audience that crowded tho church spoil-bound, us ho enumerated in thrilling terms tho count? less evils that lurk iu the intoxicating cup; the beneficent effects of tho organi? zation of the Sous of Temperance, and its absolute necessity to counteract tho growiug power of the craving appetite for stimulating drink, which, to use ono of his strong terms, is the devil's chiefest instrument of sin. Did timo and spneo admit, wo should like to give a detailed report of this really admirable ami ablo address, but the lateness of tho hour forbids. After Prof. Smeltzer had finished, tho proces? sion was again formed and mardi ed to tho hall, whero a bountiful repast was spreud for tho regalement of the inner mau, aud where, without thu false stimu? lus of deceitful driuk, a merry and jovial hour wnsspent.

About half-paat 8 o'clock, President George Symmers notified those present that "supper was getting cold." Thia aunouueemeut had the effect of bring? ing parties promptly forward, when an indiscriminate assault was made upon the edibles, and for folly Bixty minutes the assault was kept up. To say that the oookics were good, would be bot faint praise.
