COLUMBIA, S. C. Tours tay '?omin*. Maren 7.1872^ Judge Graham In Trouble. The L?gislature is ?(ter Judge Graham with a sharp stick. The Judiciary Com mittee of the House is instructed "To make an investigation immedi? ately into the case of Wm. F. Bedding and wife vs. the South Carolina Railroad Oompany, and to report the facts of the ?case, as investigated by them, to this -House as soon as possible: Provided, ?Said report be made before the adj our o -mentof the General Assembly." It is alleged that "the bearing, in? structions and rulings to the jury and to the counsel for tho plaintiffs raise strong apprehensions" that oorrup'iion wus practiced and justice deuied. Of oourse, it all menus that Judge Graham has ac? cepted a bribe and soiled the judicial ermine with a daub from that cess pool of corruption f in whioh the body of '-our legislators have been wallowing for lyears. We know nothing of thc circumstances of the trial of the causo between Redding and wife and thc South Carolina Railroad Company, but feel constrained to give Judge Graham the benefit of his past reoord, and to doubt the credibility of euch a foul and degrading charge against him. His career bas not been devoid of honor to himself and of distinguished service to South Corolino. The only censurable aot of his, of which we know -or have hitherto heard, was his identify? ing himself with such unprincipled vaga? bonds as compose the controlling ele? ment of tho Republican party in South Carolina. We cannot but deem it more probable that this is an effort to calum? niate him and to affect the judgment in the suit referred, by some'.oliqne in the Legislature interested in the matter, than that of a man of Robert Graham's character and prominence could have so rapidly lost all sense of shame and self respect, os to be guilty of snob infamous .conduct as he is charged with. But evil communications corrupt good morals, no less than good -manners, and we cannot speak of Judge Graham with that confidence which we might have done, had he not become associated with a set of men, the greater part of whom we are fully convinced would not scruple to gratify their avaricious greed in a simi? lar mode to that with whioh Judge Gra? ham is now oharged. lt is a grave mat? ter whioh the Legislature has under? taken, thus to call in question the judi? cial integrity of a Judge of the State. The affair will work irreparable injury to Judge Graham, whatever muy now be the issue of the investigation, and it should not have been commenced, with? out the most convincing proof of the truth of tho allegations. Suoh a pro? cedure is without a preocdent in the honest days of lang syne. COUIIT IN LEXINGTON.-Judge Melton held court io Lexington last week, and disposed of tho business with his usual promptness and efficiency. The Dispatch tells us that tho Judge, iu charging thc grand jury, aliud.jd to tho absence of official corruption among the County officials, to tho absence of crime as e general thing 'in the County, ?co., aud cougratulatod Lexington upon being a rare exception in these respects to the condition of things prevailing in most Counties of tho State. Lexington has a white majority, who are not so easily imposed upon by design? ing demagogues as are our colored citi? zens of Richland and most of thc other Counties in tba State. They have elect? ed good and efficient men to diroot their County affairs; hence the high enco? miums from Judge Melton. The colored people of Richland, who have a control? ling majority, would do well to recollect this testimony of Judge Melton, who is a Republican, and, what is more sur? prising, an efficient officer. If thoy will exorcise more discretion, and putting aside ignorant and unprincipled time? servers, whoso only recommendation, oven to tho negroes, is their pvofojsion of Republicanism, and looking solely to the welfare of tho County, pince proper men iu office, wo may hope to hoar from Judge Melton similar words of praiso. John T. Sloan, Jr., nc tod as Solicitor for tho State at tho court in Lexiugton. The Dispatch speaks of him in tho fol? lowing high terms: "Active and energotio in preparing the indictments aud the evidence, ho is peculiarly gifted as a speaker. Mr. Sloau made a most favorable and plea? sant impression upon our people. Young, talented, high-toned and industrious, we predict for Mr. Sloan a long career of success at tho bar." FIIOZRN TO DEATH.-A colored yoath, named Romeo, drank too much bad whiskoy at Abbeville a fow nights since, and made his bed in thu snow, from whioh place he never got up again. The coroner's jury ron tiered a vordiot that ho carno to his death from exposure. He was formorly in the employ of Sena? tor Hollinshead. VoMif??'ne??r 'm?c?e stranger b?cf-fel lows than in tho oaae of fat old Ooant de Ohambord and the Frenoh Bade. Thia embodiment. of legitimacy, who even repudiates tue tri color and planta bira* self beneath the faded old Bourbon?sur de lye, baa suddenly endeared himself to the roaring Republicans, by announcing bis intontion, when King, of repudiating paymeut of the German indemnity and driving the Prussians from Frenoh terri? tory. The sub oma ia - fully - in a ooo rd with bis Usual absurdity, but it has just about enough patriotism to be tho cause of great trouble to the ruling powers. An itinerant King like Ohambord, utter? ly without warlike means and appliances, stands about us much ohanoo of inaugu? rating a successful conflict with Prussia, as the dead soldiers of Sedan have of ooming back to life. Secretary Boutwell has boasted of having reduced tho .public debt nearly $3^,000,000. In his official report pre? sented to Congress at the opening of the present session he claimed that in the last two fiscal years * a reduotiou of $195,929,681 had been made; but ac? cording to his official reports, published monthly, the amount of the reduotion was $206,115,750. The variation of $10,000,000 betweon these two state? ments has not been accounted for. A correspondent of the New York World calls attention to these facts, and shows from the monthly dobt statements them? selves and from the annual reports of Secretary Boutwell that the reduotion of tho publio debt has been only $39,000, 000 since 18G8, and according to his own figures there is a deficit of $105, 000,000. SENATOR WILSON NOT OVER CONFIDENT OF SUCCESS.-Senator "Wilson haviug co TI ploted his engagements for stump? ing New Hampshire in the interests of the Radicals, resumed his seat in the Senate to-day. He states that both par? ties are working vigorously for success, and although his preferences are with the Radicals, he is not over confident of their success. Tho fact of four tickets being in the field does not, in his esti? mation, injure either party .very serious? ly. While he do os not think the Tem? perance ticket will draw very largely from either Democrats or Radicals, he admits that the Labor Reformers are solidly in favor of the Democracy. THE SALE OF ARMS TO FRANCE-How THE COMMITTEE WAS PACKED.-The Sa? vannah News' Washington correspond? ent, gives the following account of the : scheming by the Grantites in the Senate, to out off a full and fair investigation of ! the question of tho sale of arms to France. It is vory apparent that this 1 question has given Grant and bis hench? men more trouble than any that has boen sprung during the presont session of ( Congress. They fonght for every inch of ground during the discussion of the j resolution; and when the resolution was passed, in spite of them, they resort to the low trick of a packed committee to defeat its purposes. Here is what the writer in the News says: Tho Administration Seuutors, with au audacity and lack of decency heretofore unparalleled, have, in tho fuco of all their boasts that they wanted tho fullest investigation into the sales of arms to France, pucked the Investigating Com? mittee with the most unscrupulous and brazen adherents of Grant. The list was determined upon this morniug, at a consultation hold before tho meeting of the Senate. It was known that Sum? ner's feeble health would not admit of his going on tho committee, and there? fore the corruptionista, to make a show of fairness, named him as tho chairman. Sumner declined, however, as was anti? cipated. The committee, as presented to the Senate, is composed of Hamlin, Carpenter, Sherman, Sawyer, Logan, Stevenson and Harlan. Logan and Ste? venson are the only men on the commit? tee who will make any effort to ferret out the wrong, and they will be impotent with the five against them, whose sole effort will be to cover up the villainy. Trumbull insisted that Schurz be put on the committoo in place of Sherman, who asked to bo relieved on acconnt of his pressing duties as Chairman of the Fi? nance Committee. Camoron, who was engineering the resolution which named the committee, refused to let Schurz go on, and Trumbull then made a direct motion to that effeot. The Senate did not vote on the resolution to-day, and it will probably como up to-morrow. It is reported that Conkiing is one of Re? mington's partners, and to conceal this ? was ono reason why Remington's books ; were altered. One effort of tho packed committeo will of course bo to prevent this ooming to light. The colored voters of the District of Columbia, aro of opinion that a black man ought to bo nominated for Vico tho President, nnd they are going to hold j a meeting and pass resolutions insisting ; that their claims shall be considered by ! Philadelphia Convention. Shall it be : Grant and Dougluss or Grant and Pinch* : beck? IN A BAD PLIGHT.-A Washington i correspondent says: "Conkliug and . Morton., after a debate with Carl Schurz, ' look as if they had been fouling with a ' threshing machino." ISAAC N. MASKS.-The New 'Orleans papers oontain long accounts of a de? monstration bj the firemen of that city, on the 4th inst, in honor of the chief of the department-Isaac N. Marka, Esq. We make the following brief abstract from the 7?mes: "Isano N. Marks' life has been that of the unselfish philanthropist. His ambi? tion has beeu devoid of egotism. He has been, to an unusual degree,.perse? vering, untiring and pertinacious iu works which relate to .the protection, the relief and well being of the community wherein he had fixed-his howe. He has abo wp the warrior's heroism in combat? ting the evita, dangers and aflliotions which have threatened or involved any portion of li i H fellow-men-that higher style of courage, to which the RomauB assigned tho crown of oak leaves-whic? prompts to faaeauy danger and obstacles to defend, relieve and promote the hap? piness of our fellow-beings, has been eminently a characteristic ol Mr. Murks. It is a proof of the tuet, integrity aud great utility with which this house has been conducted, that it has coutinucd for nearly a third of a century to main? tain its high name and oredit, unshaken and untarnished amid all the vicissitudes, disasters and troubles which have, dur? ing that time, agitated the commercial world and swept over this city with such destructive and desolating consequences. It was in 1810 that Mr. Marks bogan bia career as a fireman, in the company of Perseverance No. 13. His zeal, prompt? itude and aotivity, soon woo him thc confidence of bis associates, and ho was elected their President, and held tho po? sition for several years, uutil the yest 1850, wheu ho was elected President ol tho Firemen's Charitable Association one of tho best preserved of all our in? corporated institutions. "He is a native.of ?South Carolina, ol the tine old Israeli tish stock, which hu: contributed as largely to thu houor aud glory of the State, as any other ol tut various races that make its population, The oldest of eight brothers, all nou living but one, bo emigrated to this city in 1836, aud engaged in n commcrciu career. At the formation of tho.firm ol E. J. Hart Sc Co., he became associated with the Messrs. E. J. & B. Hart, in lay ing deep and wide tho busis of thc largest wholesale grocery and drug establishment in tho South. In a fen sentences, the carear and the ch?mete: of Isaac N. Marks may be moro fitb summed up than by au olaborate aud oz tended eulogy or history. We are in debted for-such brief and comprehensi hie sketch, to tho November number o the Bural Southland, published in thi city. It rans thus: " 'As an evideuce of what may be na complished by the efforts of a singlo eu terprising oitizeu, wo invite attentiou ti tho fnot that, besides his devotion ti the business of his prosper?os firm (that of Fat jo, Marks Sc Co.,) Mr. Mark at this moment is President of tho Loni siana Fair Association, President i-f th Firemen's Charitable Association, Fresi dent of tho Now Orleans, Florida au?

WHAT BECAME OF TUE CONFEDEUAI GOLD.-Au interesting lotter from Ce Moses, clearing up tho mystery that hi long hung arouud tho disposition of tl gold belonging to thc Coi;federney, h just been published. A small portion it, it appears, was converted into ratioi for tho returning soldiers, and no doh faithfully, while the bulk of it was turu? over to the Federal Quartermaster Augusta, Ga., for a similar appropri tiou; but whether it roan so appropi atod, may be an interesting subject inquiry at the bauds of tho authoriti at Washington. ?-??-? - The Northern papers publish a te! gram from Lieutenant-Governor Ra sier, at Columbia, to "Mrs. Lucy Stou President of the Amorioan Woman St frage Association," in which ho saj "Both branches of the General Assei bly, now in session, have passed a co current resolution referring the worn suffrage memorial to a special joint ooi mitteo to report duriug tho sossic Accept assurance that I will do evoi thiug iu my power to induce favoral action, and establish equal rights nccoi ing to Senator Sumner's bill.

Judge Melton in charging tho gra jury, alluded to tho absenco of oflic corruption among our County oflleh to tho absence of crimo as a gene thing in this County, Sec., aud congru lated Lexington upon being u rare exci tiou iu thoso respects to tho conditi of things prevailing in most Counties the State.-Lexington Dispatch. Tho Washington Sunday Herald r.a "It is confidently believed among 1 Catholic priesthood that either Bisli Lynch, of Charleston, or Bishop W lau, of Wheeling, will be appointed tho vacant Seo ot' Baltimore. 1 former, it is behoved, would havo coi ved tho appointment in 1SG1, but tho oivil war thon existing. The' Reconstructed Southern States? - Perhaps DO people were ever more doomed to drink the perennial waters of bitfexness than the people of the recon? structed States of the Sooth during the last ten years. They have gone through that which would have utterly cast down and left forever hopeless a people less bravo, lees strong, less intrinsically great. To have shown themselves, as they havo done, superior to every vicissitude of fortune; in war, superior to defeat and humiliation; in peace-or that which is called peace, though it is peuoe not in deed, but ip n&ine-superior to injus? tice, insult, oppression, wrong, und the slanders of every evil tongue, stumps them, while shedding a glory upon the country of which they are a part, as ho? ing of the very highest type of mnuhood known among men. Did they belong to some other nation than thia; did we know thom, not as brethren with whom we have beeu at strife, but na strangers, anti marked how thoy have borne them SOIVCB through immeasurable calamities, they would have extorted the universal praise of tho American people, including those now blinded by fanaticism, or warped by nu unreasonable, and it would seem, unappeasable hatred. Wo should have been proud of our own unconquer? able blood that runs in their veins; quick to claim them ns our kindred; and ready, with au out-stretched baud, to lift them out of tho ruius of their fortunes will which they aro now surrounded. Wo are ucoustomed to overilow witt sympathy for what it piensos us to cal the oppressed of other lands, strangely forgetting that'wo have somethiug mar velously like oppression in oar own Indeed, for such and for tiny, it seems not of our owu household; wo are verj tender-hearted, ready to make nny sac ndees in their behalf, aud take grut credit to ourselves for tho exercise of ut enlarged Christian charity abroad though destitute, in a significant direc tion und biuguhu' manner, of that excel hiut virtue at home. Wo have ears tba are acute to hear mid eyes ihut tire quid to Hoe bonds afar off, ami as self-consti tuted apostles of emancipation, wc an ready to fiy ou the wings of the wind t< the uttermost parts of the earth to brea! them.

Ii the plenitude of our benevolence towurt the inhabitants of other nations, if not indeed, of other planets, and in the un quenchablenoss of our enthusiasm fo remoto enterprises of succor, wo go true ing the rim of the horizon for somethiOj to relieve, carefully overlooking th claims of those whom we need not tra verso the globe, or get beyond our owi borders, to find, to whom is duo firs justice and then fraternal kindness Hungary, Ireland, Cuba, have wo as ; steady senrce of sorrow, whose griefs w volunteer to carry in our bosoms, but fo one-third of our own laud, our own kin dred, the people of the South, bowe down in dust and ashes, we have nothin but contumely, an averted fuco, deutln ciatiou, insult and a heavy baud. As a matter of public policy, as a mat ter of political wisdom, not to put it o higher grounds, this is uot only a gros wrong, but a gross blunder. lu an and every view, it is indefensible au unpardonable. Compared with th vindictive blindness of thc authors i the policy being pursued towards th South-and it is Radical through au through-tho blindness of the molo i preternatural sight. And whut possibl good can come of such a policy? It i fraught with nothiug but evil. It dot violence to common sense, to cointuo justice, to everything worthy of tho nam of statesmanship, and to ?ill the bette instincts of the American people. It a policy not only of supremo folly, bt of supreme wickedness, of vougeanc and deserving tho scorn of every righ miuded mau. "Vengeance is mine, au I will repay," saith Ono whose authoril lo create aud power to iu tl ict pcnaltit we dare not deny. Perhaps even tl champions of desolatiou, of rutributiou they who continually exhibit au abidiu faith, worthy o? a satanic nature, in tl corrective and curativo powers of tl sword, tho faggot, aud of all ki nd ri cruel contrivances worthy alone of savaf men-though denied in acts, might 1 constrained to admit iu words tho supo humanity of tho doereo. Yet it spurned from them, as is almost over thing else that is worthy and wise. Tl fullness of their ingenuity has been o ercisod to make tho South uninhubit ble; to set her people at each othei throats; to keep alive and active tl spirit of animosity mid discord; to tiri' approaching peace from her border and to envelop all with the breath calumny like n contagion. And wher foro all this? Why this romorsole policy of auger, oruelty and crime? Pt indeed must bo the cause, ana bad i deed it is. What is it but that the malignant ministers of Radicalism, 1 this oowardly and atrocious mear linked with all the appliances of usurp arbitrary power, which from long exp rieuco thoy know so well how to us hope not only to keep their party fro annihilation, but to fasten it perm neutly upon the American people? Tl whole thiug is a desperate and dangt ous device, au intolerable usurpatiu and it merits universal execration. Tho bearing of tho Southern poop ns a whole, under all that they ha boon forced, at the point of the bay o tn aud in other ways hurdly loss tyran mn to undergo, has boen such i j to co mond the respect aud admiration of cundid and unprejudiced men. The has been no common lot, their sulYeriu no common sufferings; nor is what th j have lost to bo measured by any comm standard. Amid it nil, they have bo I brave, stout-hearted, courageous; ii I stillen, nor despairing, though groa j tempted to despair; but looking forwai through present darkness aud over p sont calamities, to tho dawu of a bet day. Their patience, their streug their good cheer, have not been iu vu Th? day is breaking, and this is dbe in great measure to their temperateness, wisdom, forbearance, under trying cir? cumstances. It cannot bat be believed and hoped that the ezeroise of these will continue to the end. Tbe reoent past to the Southern people is a dreary waste. The opening future is fall of promise to them as an integrant f art of the American people. Ana thu time is not far distaut whan, relieved of the prosont ombarraanmonts that impede their progress und bear them down, they will illustrate, for tho encouragement of other nations und other times, how truo it is "That men may ria? ou stepping-stones Of their doad selves to higher things."
