COLUMBIA, S. C. San -ay Horning, February 18.1872. ttadloeU Reform. Last year, on account of the disclos? ures of the gross frauds perpetrated by the Tammany ring, the State of New York was lost to the Democrats. A large number of honest mee, though their fidelity to the principles of the Democratic party was unshaken, ware horrified at the shameless corruption in which the Tammany leaders were enve? loped; and, beguiled by the lond protest? ations of the Republicans for reform, joined with them to defeat Temmany, and to place the government of the State under the control of their own political opponents. They could, it is trne. scarcely have done otherwise, for' any experiment was preferable to the conti? nuance of the rule of the Tammany ring, whioh had been unquestionably guilty of robbing the public to the amount of million ti of dollars; and it was reasona? ble to hope that almost any sot of men, however donbtful their integrity under ordinary circumstances, would, reflecting upon the popular indignation aroused hythe evil prue ticca of their predeces? sors, refrain, at least for a season, from engaging in similar offences. They have, however, been grievously mis? taken and most sadly imposed upon. Onr New York exohanges, irrespective of party proclivities, are denouncing the present Legislature as equally venal with'tho one for which it waa substi? tuted. This is a startling announce? ment. Oars is, indeed, an age of legis? lative corruption and official dishonesty. It would be nothing so extremely sur? prising or speoially disheartening, to learn that a General Assembly of the State of New York, elected under ordi? nary circumstances, was infected with the esme poisonous atmosphere at Al? bany that1 hangs dank and heavy about the legislative halls of Washington, and at nearly every State capital in the Union. Bnt when it is borne in mind that this General Assembly of the great State of New York is the result of a mighty up? rising of the people in the interests of honest and economical government; when the hearts of the masses were stirred to their very depths, their wrath aroused and fears exoited to the fallest extent by the great wrongs inflicted npou them by thieving and unacrapu lons officials-there is canse for grave alarm. It would seem that there is no hope of checking the tide of corruption that has swept over tho lund, or of wresting oar Governmont from the hands of public plunderers. The rogues are iu the majority, we are led to feur, at least in point of wealth and influence; and the honest men that are left, are in adeqaade to a suooessful effort to east them ont from positions of power, and, in former days, of trust aud honor as well. It is high time that the American peo? ple revert to first priuciples. Tho boast? ed progress of the ago is a miserable fal? lacy. The cant about progressive ideas, keeping apace with the march of civili? zation. Seo., is simple h tun buggery, that knaves whisper in the ears of fools, while they aro rifling their pockets. lu the more desirable elements of civilization, we ure far behind our fore? fathers. lu material development, a section of our country muy huvo mado rapid and astonishing strides; bot what we have gained in that respect, is more than counterbalanced by what we have lost in morul tune and healthful intellec? tual life. - Where iJoea the Money Sol There has already been appropriated by the General Assembly $250,000, to pay the per diem and mileage of the members and attach?es. The members of the House and of the Senate aggre? gate 156; that number multiplied by 540, whioh expresses the number of dollars that ono member would reoeive for three months' sorvices-ninety days, at $6 per day-gives us only $81,240. What be? comes nf tho balanco, o? $165,760? If we allow euoh lordly legislator a page or servant to himself, and give each page, servant or attach?e, as they may be pleased to term thom, $6 per day whereas thoy reoeive only $3-thero still remains $81,520. Can Radical ingenui? ty suggest oven a plausibly legitimate use to whioh that balanoe may bo ap? plied? It is creditably reported, by some of the so-called attaohoes in foot, that largo numbers of persons draw their per diem as subordinates of the General Assembly, who never seo tho inside of tho Stuto House except when thoy go to havo thoir pay certificates cashed. You colored members of tho Legislature, who excuse your past action iu support? ing the infamous measuros under color of which tho heaviest frauds havo boen practiced, ou tho plea that you were ignorant of tho forco and latitude of tho technion! terms employed iu tho bills, what have yon to say about this per diem and mlTongo Tj usin?es? You can const tba Hogers on your hands, at least, end certainly know tbat two and two make four. Last year, if our memory serves us right, you appropriated over $400,000 to pay the per diem and mileage of your members and subordinates. This year you have thus far fallen abort of those figures by $150,000. This is some im? provement beyond all question, bnt there ia still a, leakage of over. $100,000. Will you not iuqnire Into the matter and stop it? You colored members, that compose a majority of tho Honso of Rep? resentatives, will you say to the people that you aro powerless to ascertain the simple fact of how many attach?es yon have in waiting upon yourselves? You cannot. And if you wish your white fellow-citizens to exculpate you from participation in the great bond swindles, apon your plea of ignorance of the soope and effect of the bills you assisted in en acting into laws, yon must manifest your desire to correct such abuses as must be evident even to you. Of these none is more prominent than this extra? vagant appropriation to pay the per diem of attaobees who are really not in existence as such. CONVICTION OF GENERAL A. K. ALLI? SON.-General A. K. Allson, atone time Governor of Florida, and one of the best citizens of the State, was convicted of a violation of tho Enforcement Act, in intimidating votes, before the United States District Court at Tallahassee, Tuesday last, and sentenced to a fine of $250 and six months' imprisonment in jail. That tho public may know how this oonviotion of a prominent and excellent oitizen was obtained, and the alarming extent to whioh Federal despotism is carried in the South under the forms of law, we annex a paragraph on the sub? ject, taken from the Floridian, of Wednesday: The conviction of this gentleman, un? der the Ku Klux Act, for un alleged at? tempt to intimidate voters, is but an? other illustration of the truth that no citizen is safe from perseontion, prose? cution und conviction, on a similar charge, whenever malice may prompt it. The jury was composed of only such as could take the "iron-clad oath," and, of course, no ono expected any other ver? dict than that which was rendered. The most respectable citizens of Gadsden County testified to the falsehood of the charge. The sheriff swore that the ac? cused, on acconnt of his infloenoe and position, 'was made by him a special de pnty, and that his efforts during the day of election were directed to keeping tbe peaco and securing a fair and free elec? tion, while other witnesses, of equally high standing, contradicted those of the prosecution in the main features of their evidence. After the verdict in this case, no person stands the ghost of a chance before a jury "organized to conviot." Sumo of the jurymen, who gave the verdict whioh consigns one of our first citizens to jail for six months, are per? sons of questionable character. One of them, a white man, was seen yesterday morning entering a low negro bouse of prostitution, within rifle shot of this office, and, on leaving, and while in the public streets, one of the very lowest prostitutes in the city was public!} seen to throw her arms around his neck and exchange kisses with him. In a few hours thereafter this mau was uniting iu a verdict against General Allison on a falso ohnrgo of intimidating voters! Whut a mockery! An attempt was made to bring tho subject of tho Alabama claims boforo the British House of Lords, ou Tuesday, for debate. Baron Redesdale proposed to the Government the following ques? tion: If A nod B, partners, sue C for fraud, and the dufenduut C proves that B, one of tho plaintiffs, acted with him in committing the fraud, whether such proof would not be a complete answer, und debar nil damages? Applying this to the questions at issue with the United States, lu argued that the North aud South were now partners in the Alabama claims. If thc law in the case of per? sons was good, it ought to hold in re? gard to nations. Earl Grauvillu suid a discussion of the treaty of Washington, at the present juncture, wasuudesirable, and he deoliued to answer tho question put by Lord Redesdale. The London Time? thinks it necessary to state that Gladstone is not afraid of Disraeli and Dilke, and that it was not to hedgo them off that the present diffi? culty was sprung. Tho English comio papers, ulwuys of a happy turn, believo they can soo a joke in the Amerioac "little bill." Among the expressions of personal opinion on the Alabama olaims is that of General Sherman, who has told Victor Emmanuel that Geneva will make the difficulty all right. Sir Ed? ward Thornton believes there is no diffi? culty which cannot be arranged. The member of Parliament for Cambridge, Fowler by name, advises bis American cousins, if they want their money, to como aud biko it.

TKDK HEROISM.-Tho folio wi Dg anec? dote, extracted from unpublished memo? ries of a French nobleman, may serve at au example worthy of being imitated by all who desiro to be thought truly bruvt and courageous: Two noblemen, tho Marquis do Yalaist and the Count de Meiio, were eduoutet under the same masters, and wore re garded by all who knew them ns pat terns of friendship, honor and sensibili? ty. Years succeeded years und uo quur rel hud ever disgruoed their attachment when one unfortunate evening the twe friends, having indulged rather freely it some excellent Burgundy, repaired tot neighboring hotel, and engaged in i gamo of backgammon. Fortune de olared herself in favor of the Marquis he won overy game, aud in tho thought lees glee of tho moment laughed wit! exultation at his usual good luck. Tn? Count lost bis temper, and once or twin upbraided the Marquis for enjoying th? pain which he hud excited in tho boson of his friend. At lust, upon anothoi fortunato throw made by tho Marquis the infuriated Conut throw thu box uni dice iu the face of his fellow-soldior. Every geutlemau proseut was it nmuzement, und wuited, utmost breath lessly, for tho moment wbou the Marquii wonld sheathe his sword iu thc bosom o tho uow repoutaut Count. "Gentlemen," said tho Marquis, Mj nm a Frenchman, a soldier and a friend I have received o blow from a French man, a soldier und a friend. I knot and ^knowledge) the laws of honor, nut I will obey them. Every ono who see me wonders why I um tardy iu visiting with vengeance tho author of my dis grace. But, gontlemon, tho heart o that man is entwined with my own. On education was the same, our principle aro alike, and our frioudship dates fron our earliest years. But, Frenchmen, ! will obey the laws of honor und o France. I will stab him to the heart!'' Upon this, ho threw his arms aronui his unhappy friend, aud said: "My dea Do Morie, I forgive you, if you will for giro me the irritatiou I have ocoasionei in a sensitive mind, hythe levity of m; own. And now, gentlemen, ' added th Marquis, "though I have interpreted th laws of honor in my own way, if thor remains, iu this room one Frenohmai who dares to doubt my resolution to re sent oven an improper smile at me, rn; sword is by my sido to punish an affront! but not to murder a friend, for whom would die, and who sits there a inonu mont of contrition and bravery, read with mo to challenge tho rest of th room to deadily combat if any man dur to think amiss of this transaction." 1).iring tho trial of Mrs. Wharton a Atiiiapolis, tho following colloquy ot curred between tho Attorney-Genom and Dr. Warren, a distinguished physi emu of Baltiuicro, who was under eros: exam i nut ion: Attorney-General-A do? tor ought to bo able lo givo au upiuio of a disease without making mintakoi Witness-Thoy uro us capable us lawyeri Attorney-General-Doctors' tnistukus ni buried six feet uudor ground-a lawyor aru not.

Tuesday, the 23d of January. 1872, will long be remembered by the people of .Northern Colorado. Snow covered the ground,' yeMh? weather was plea? sant, and the muuu tain stood out grandly in the sun light. Ou the afternoon of this day, Jeremiah Fisk left the Higley coal mine, with a load of ooal for his home in Greeley? The distance is four? teen miles. Two teams had goue before him, sod others were on their way to the mine.* A little af tor 4 o'clock, when in sight of towu, he passed two of his neighbors, wbo were cutting icu in a lake seven miles North-west of Greeley. Th? Coobo la Poudre Uiver lay at the foot of the slope, about two' milos due South of him, und tho road leads almost directly down to tho river, and follows it to the town limits. Not long after louv iug the lake, he heard a noise Uko the roaring of a great waterspout. Instinct? ively he turned toward the mountains; they were calm and beautiful as in the morning, but Northward, where the Black Hills rise from the plains, he saw a vast wall of cloud approaching with the speed of a whirlwind. Tho roaring increased. At this instant, tho frozen tidal wave touched the foot hills and chased the sunbeams from the moun? tains liku an avalanche. The horse* rushed forward in terror, uud a second later they were in darkness, the storms sweeping over them with resistless fury. Snow finer than tho iiuest flour tilled the air, BO that it was impossible t?? see a hundred feet iu any direction. Fisk wrapt a buffalo robo urouud his neck and shoulders, and urged the trembling horses ou, but they could not keep the road, and in a short timo tho plain wus us trackless ns the sen. After thu horses had loft the beaten way, they could scarcely walk, uud it was not long before they refused to move. The darkness increased, und tho mercury was rapidly running down to zero. No time must bo lot. The truces were unhitched, und mounting the strongest horse, Fisk attempted to urge him for? ward; but he would not go. Then he Iud them for a time, but finding that it required all his strength to keep the buf fulo robe from blowing away, ho left thu team ami pushed on before tho wind, for the wind was his ouly comp ?ss. The storm increased io violence every mo? ment, and it sooo became dark and in? tensely cold. In many places the snow was deep, and more than twenty times the strong man was hurled into tho drifts, so terrible was tho storm. By 8 o'clock the mercury stood at ten degrees below zero. Tbe snow blew from all points ol the compass and penetrated every stitcli of his clothing that was not protected bj the robe. He know that several bousei were near, but how could he find a Bin gie one of them, when on that verj night the engineers ou the railroad wert unable to lind the water-tank at Fierct Station in the darkness. The man koon that death was on his trail. His strength was failing rapidly, and the cold i nereus iog with the fury of the storm. All hit garments were frozen stiff, and his eye lashes ooated with ice. It seems that lu crossed the river a few huudred feet be low Boyd's rauche, but he has only t fuint recollection of stumbling down ( bank sud of dreaming that he might possibly be near a house. Ho felt thai his time had almost come. To go or was madness, yet he oould not stop, ex cept to brush away the frozen tears, foi a wife with ber babes are waiting anc praying, not three miles away from hit sinking heart. Hu managed to walk an hour longer when a dizziness carno on, and his brail reeled like tho storm. Thou ho begai digging a hole in the deepest drift ht could find. It was liko digging his owt grave, for he knew not how sooo bi might sink with exhaustion. Afte; working a long time tho ground wa roached, ami, then drawing tho robe ove his head, he waited for tho BUOW to bur him. The wind did its work well, ant io an hour eighteen inches of snov covered his roof of fur. Never did i mun long to sleep moro than ho, but hi know that if he closed his eyes, it woult be forever. Ho fought with his sense liko Bunyan's Christian Pilgrim, anc kept awake. Burning pains shot t h rougi his swollen limbs, nud his legs crumpet us if ou tho rack, aud finally somethiu] like nettles prickled iu his boots. Thei hu kuew that his feet were freezing Was he to die after all tho hours o agony? No,?he would keep his muscle moving, and he did so long after his toe wero frozen stiff. Hour after hour tbi maa fought with death, while snow; billows were rolling above his head. At daylight ho crawled out. House wero nour. Then he staggered and fell got up again, and drugged his frozei limbs toward the limits of the town After walking an hour he reach ci Cooper's rauche-tho summer rosideno of our town clerk-aud pushed in th buck door. Another hour was cou sumed in making ? tiro. Some matchee a piece of candle, u ,d an old broad-ax were found. Then ho melted snow in pail, and thawed his frozen feet. H also found dry clothing and a pair u cavalry boots. Although completely ri haunted, he started for Greeley, a dit tauco of two miles. Tho meroury wa eightoen degrees below zero, and it too him an hour to walk a single milt Often ho thought he would fall to th ground. The houses seemed to Bpi round os ho passed thom, and familia streets, iu which ho saw children play in thu day before, were but the landmark of a dream. At last ho reached hi father's gate anti staggered lo tho dooi Then there was a rush and a scream, au tho next instant a black and bloated fae was lying ou a womsu'u breast.
