COLUMBIA. S. G. Tuesiay Hom in sr, January 30,1872. A Ci? rd-To tW4 Pabllc. It is not my canto m to ' parade my matters of private bcsinees before the publio, but Mr. Thomas, of tho Caroli? nian, has Boen fit to publish certain de? spatches to and from the agent of the Associated Press, himself, the proprietor of the Union, and myself, relative to the terms npon which the press despatohes are to be allowed to the Carolinian. His comments thereon are calculated to put me in a falsa light before those of the community who are unacquainted with such matters. The proprietor of the Carolinian would impress the publio with the belief that it is a most unheard of and unjust imposition to require of him to pay a bonus for the privilege of receiving the despatches, and that the domand is nothing moro than a com? bined effort to hush his self-important voiae, and retard the rapid porsuit of the ring upon which he is engaged. Tho truth is, an established custom of the Press Association requires that new enterprises in tho line of journalism shall pay a certain sum before being ad? mitted to the privileges of membership. The amount tq be paid vanes in differ? ent localities, and ia apportioned record? ing to tho size of tho piano and the num? ber of papers already' established. In New York, $15,000. ia; required; in Au? gusta, the Pr?ts had' to pay $1,000; in Savannah, the Advertiser the same; in Charleston, the Republican was assessed $400; in Columbia, the South n Guar dian, $150, when only this pager (the PHOENIX) was ia the field; and tho Union pair]LW&gte. Tho $200 required of thc Carolinian is comparatively a very small bonn.. I uesiro to.. throw no obstacles what? ever ih tho way of th? Carolinian, and am perfectly willing to extend to it all the courtesies of journalism; but I am not to be cajoled i or frightened into, (lie snrrender of my rights. So far from the Carolinian being a special object ol persecution, as its proprietor .would make it appear, it is he that claims as c right' that which' he cannot recei ve other? wise the.u as a gift. Thu following, despatch from Mr, Wulsh, received yesterday, oxpiains.anc justifies the grounds that I have taken AUGUSTA, QA., January 29, 1872. Col. Thomas, Columbia, 8. C.: I have read your artiole in Sunday'i paper. The demand whioh Messrs Sulby and Carpenter make is not unjust as old papers have the right to demand i bonus, and, in addition, to insist that t now paper shall give security for om year for the payment of its pro rata o assessment. Snob demands are alway sustained when the amount of bonus i not exorbitant. The sum named is smai in comparison to amounts paid elsewhere I merely desire to set myself right witl all parties. PATRICK WALSH, Agent. Mr. Cathcart will please furnish cop; of the above to Messrs. Selby and Car penter. P. WALSH. The public can judge for themselve of the truth of the silly and self-conceit ad obarges made by the proprietor c the Carolinian, of a ring combination t suppress bis trumpet. He may blow bi horn as loudly as he will, and continu to sound his own praises in the Carob nian as lustily and incessantly as th oolumns of the PHOINIX Were made t do, under his editorial management. H may still gratify his vanity by publishin extended and complimentary reports c his own remarks, and letters from friend? laudatory of himself. He may, indeed endeavor to advance in the Carolinian as he certainly did while editor of th PHGSNIX, his own personal iniet-esU? en tickle his overweening vanity, in sue manner and style as to him may seei delicate and proper. But when, to giv a heotio glow of life to his infant ente: prise, he casts malioious reflections upo me, and strives to injure my business, shall have a word to say to him, an promise him, in all cases, a Boland ft his Oliver. I did not desire controversy with hie but I shall not shun it, when his diet torial course provokes it. As for tl futuro conduct of the PIICKNIX, the pu1 lie will find that it will manifest noi the less, for his absenoe, the spirit whit Mr. Thomas BO pompously claims to ha' breathed into it. It shall hereafter, it did before his employment, oontint to defend tho right, denounoo villaii and adv?calo tba true interests of tl people. JULIAN A.

' J 1 - n kin WWU?? X*?W-.-~-.- - The law in this State preeoriblng the manner of conducting elections is a dis? grace to tba statute book of any free aud oivilized people. lils ao admitted even by tho leadiws and influential mem? bers of the Radical patty; and yet, al? though a bill to amend it and expunge its most objectionable features was intro? duced and favorably reported upon by the Committee on Elections, and its ne cessity and propriety clearly demon? strated . in ,. debate ?t the session ot 1870-71, it still oumbora the calendar of the Senate, or is, stuck in some pigeon hole ot a committee, and is likely to re? main theta. The prominent objections to the law, aa it now stands, are, first, the unlimited and dangerous power given the Governor, in the appointment of the commissioners of election, and consequent control of the managers; and, Beoond, tho unusual length of time in which the managers aro allowed to count the votes and make their return to the commissioners. The Governor, by confining bis ap? pointments to bis own particular satel? lites, can aeonre bia own election and whatever of - the other candidates may be acceptable to him, without any re? gard to the ballots of the people. But oven should the Governor be above the employment of auch fraudulent mea? sures to accomplish hie cods, thc people are ielt> to the tender mercies of the managers, j themselves, who, if they aro so disposed,: oan stuff, the boxes to their hearts' content, to aid the eleotion of their special favorites. The bill referred to above, as amenda? tory of the Aot now in force, provides for the immediata/counting of the voteB after the closing of the polls, as was the old custer in bur State, and ?ur?Wr re? quires th: each political party in the field be represented upon tba board of managers and the board ot oommi? sio) rs of election, if there are not moro than three parties. The opposition to the new bill, urged last winter, was the flimsy pretext that the appointment ul Demoorats to take a share of the ma? nagement and supervision of the elec? tions, was an aot of just i co that would not be accorded the Republicana were the Demoorats in the ascendancy. In otb v words, the great "God abd morality" party should, according to these solona, adopt as tho rule of theil oonduot the very iniquities whioh thej oharge against their political enemies, But even this ground of excuso, untena? ble and self-contradictory as it is uudei any ciroumstanoes, cannot be rraintainec* now. The indications are, nuJf we fee justified iu saying with certainty, thal the Democracy of South Carolina wil not make nominations or support part] candidates at the approaching elec tiona. The field will be left to the Re publicans entirely, and the contest wil be between rival factious of that party Tho Democrats will look quietly on; tr] to run in such good men us they can io: County offices; and as for the others seek for the least dishonest Radicals aud vote for them. In view of this con dition of things, it may be well for tb? opponents of Scott and the present oor rupt administration in the Legislature (we mean the Republicans,) to see to i that the election law be so amended, be fore adjournment, as to BC oura a fai election, and preclude those opportun i ties for frauds whioh characterized th elections in 1868 in every County wher there was the smallest apprehension of closely contested race. If R. E. Soot becomes again a candidate for re-elec tion to the gubernatorial chair, all effort to defeat him, even by a majority of hi own political party, will prove otterl futile, if the eleotion laws romain as the now are. If he does not havo himse elected, it will be because he is to honorable, pure and chivalrous to prai tice a fraud when the way is clear an every temptation before him, of unhol ambition and avaricious groed, to entic bim on. We leave every one to judg for himself, basing his conclusions apo the oonduot of his Exoellenoy for tb past four years, how that magnate woul aot under such circumstances, with tl simple suggestion from us that it is zu prudent to subject any man, howovi high his oharaoier and integrity, to sue extraordinary temptation. - A national bank has been organized i Greenville, with a capital of 880,00 U.

AM IRISH THRONB.-The Now York News publish os the follow! og despatch, nuder date of London, January 26: The English Government is privately discussing a proposition to make Ire? land a Viceroy of Great Britain. The following are tho two leading features of the proposition, viz: The hereditary Pr ?noe of Wales to be Viceroy, and a permanent Boyal Court to be held in Dublin. It is understood that the reoent agita? tions in Ireland in regard to the question of "Home Bale," have shown the Go? vernment the nrgent necessity of taking immediate steps toward the adoption of of a more oonoiliatbry policy in dealing with the question at issue. It is believed tho subject will he brought prominently before Parliament when it convenes on the 6th of Febru? ary, when the proposition for a Vice royalty will be submitted for thoir cou sid elation. . The proposition, as it stands at pre? sent; emanating from an official souroe, bas created a profound impression throughout England, and forms the principal topic of discussion in the clubs. MIOKATION FROM THE STATE.-The Union Times, of the 26th inst., says: A large number of citizens from the niuo persecuted Counties of this State aro emigrating to the States of Georgia, Texas und Arkansas. Sosroely a train pusses" that does not carry a number of white families away; but there is a great? er exodus of colored people than whites. On our way to Columbia, a few weeks ago, we found in tho oare of tho Spar? enburg and Union Road not less than twenty able-bodied colored men-some with their families-who were on their way to the West, and they told os that a number of othor colored -people were preparing to leave, while a great many more would like -to go if they had the means. One of the men made the fol? lowing significant remark: "If the d-d Marshals had let the white folks alone, wd should have stayed here and done well, but we oan't stay where de white folks aro drove away." It is a singular fact-and one that goes far to deny the assertions of the Radioal press and their lying correspondents that tho colored people do not feel se aure among the white Southern people, and are abusod by them; that scarcely a white family has left this County with? out being followed hy twice as many co? lored families. Soon after the Marshals oommenood their indiscriminate arrests of the whito people of this County, the neighborhood of Pacolet was almost de? populated of its white men. Great fear was then entertained that the colored people would become troublesome to the women and ohildren left; bnt, strange to say, the colored people of that section aro now following their old neighbors and employers so fast that one-half the prolific lands of that section will not bo cultivated this year for want of labor. It is estimated that about 100 white men and 300 colored persons have left Union County during the past two months, and we learn they ate leaving the other eight Counties in about the same ratio? The colored people, when left to their own free and unbiased choice, will al? ways cling to the true white Southern ? people. Oem STEAMSHIPS.-The demand for freight room at this point for the North? ern oities is BO active ss to keep our steamships busily engaged. The steam? ship James Adger, w> ich arrived here from New York on Friday morning, left here yesterday with a full freight, having boon only forty-eight hours in port. The splendid steamship Georgia, of the iron line, reaohed her wharf from New York soon after 5 P. M., yesterday, with a good freight, and will be despatobed immediately. The great facilities whioh are afforded to merchandize at this point is attracting a large business, sud the steam lines to Philadelphia and Balti? more go full.-Charleston Courier, CHILD BURNT TO DEATH.-A colored child, four years old, the daughter of I Bony Martin, who works on the wharf, ?and lives in Vender horst near Coming I streets, was so severely burned ou Satur? day afternoon, that it died early yester? day morning. It went to the ohimuoy plaoe unobserved and dabbled in the fire, its olothes iguited, and although tho screams of its sister, somewhat older, in whoso oare it was, attracted help as soou aa shu discovered its condition, it waa mortally burned before assistance could be rondered, and after suffering severely, died as stated.
