COLUMBIA. S. C. J?aturday Merninie, March 16,1872. TU? citizen?' Movement. At the meeting at Hibernian Hall, Thursday evouing, a short account of ?which we gave yesterday, the first step was taken in the movement' on the part of the citizens to place in our Oity Council good, reliable and acceptable men, without regard to race or party politics. The object of the movement is to obtain an honest and efficient city government, at the smallest possible coat to the people-a government in which all the interests of the community will be represented, or as nearly so as is practicable-a government that will eommand the confidence of all olasses of the community. How will this be effect? ed? Not by having ull the members of the Council white men, nor by having them all colored men. That is too plain to need demonstration. Neither will the. best and most satisfactory govern? ment . be secured by confining the rep? resentatives solely to one political party or the other. Politics are in no way concerned, nor do they affect the ques? tion.' But diversity of interests do. Were our citizens all of one race, the grand dividing line on a question of this nature wonld be oapital and labor. Other minor differences would, of ooaree, oooar, bat this would bo the ohief. In Columbia, though, as now constituted, we have this further phe? nomenon-oapital and labor, as a rule, stand, respectively, for white men and black men; and, more nnfortnnato still, are almost synonymous with Demooraoy and Republicanism. We prefer to nee the terms white men and blaok, or eolored men, aa the most Bimpla and in? telligible. In oar mind, that govern? ment would command the confidence of the whole community best, which is eomposed, then, of white and colored, balanced as nearly os may be. But the white men should be while men; not in color simply, bat representative white men-men of oharaoter and integrity; furthermore, whom their race know and believe to be reliable men, and in whom, consequently, they can justly and rea? sonably feel the highest confidence. The same considerations will apply with -equal force to the colored representa? tives. Let them, too, be the representa? tives of their raoe. Such a combination wonld give us the best and most satis? factory city government we have ever had. Our objections to the white nomi? nees of the Republican dabs are based npon theso considerations. They are not representative white men; they dc not represent the white element in the community; they have not the confi? dence of their race, and the colored peo? ple have no right, in the eyes of enlight? ened humanity, to saddle them upon ns. We do not desire to bo personal. We wonld that it did not oome within the line of our duty to discuss these meu. But persons offering for official position, in which they must be regarded us ser? vants of tho peoplo, are open to public criticism. If they are worthy, the prest may say so; if unworthy, it should sa} so. If a journalist speaks his honesl convictions, he does his duty. That ii what we propose to do; and wo say it if a mockery for the colored people, bj whom they were nominated, to call L, C. Carpenter, S. L. H?ge, W. A. Cari and B. F. Griffin white mon in a repre sentative sense. If the question wen pnt to a vote, not one of them wonk receive a tenth of the white vote of th< oity. They represent nobody but them selves, aod they are not eutitled to stiel special privileges. Wo fear such met in the Council. It was that elemcu that brought about the City Hall oon tract, and concocted and carried througl the city bond swindle, in tho presen Council. It is that element which rep resents high taxation and public dub for private gain. We want no moro o Buch mon, for they cnn, wo fear, brin| nothing but ruin and bankruptcy upoi tho city. - <-??-? Tho Now Orleans Timas, in congratu luting its readers upon thu fact that th? Legislature had adjourned, says: "I would be a trito phrase to say that tin history of modern timos furnishes ut such examplo nf tho gross abuse o power, of snob flagrant immorality, cor ruption and indecency, as have market the oarcer of this disgraceful assotu blage."

Tb* Nair Hampshire Election. The Republican, candidate for Go? vernor, Straw, bas carried New Hamp? shire by a majority of about 1,500. In view of the extraordinary efforts made by the Administration, the free use of governmental patronage, tho employ? ment of a host of canvassers, &c, the result is not surprising. In fact, it is just what wo surmised, and so stated that it would be, some time since. It is stated that au unusual degree of bribery was prac'iced; that greenbacks changed hands rapidly, even at the polls. Such charges, however, aro mado after every election, and, what is more to be regret I ted, are moro or less true. So far ns the State of New Hampshire is coucerned, ! the result of the election makes but lit? tle material difference. Hor local go? vernment will be administered honestly and economically by either party, for there is no vast preponderance of inte? grity and intelligence in tho one party moro than the otber. The election is significant rather in a national view. It was a test of Grant's popularity, or, more properly speaking, perhaps, his power in the Qrunite State, from which some slight clue may bo had as to his standing in other States. Viewed in this light, tho election can scarcely be called a victory to Grant. He holds the field, but he has lost heavily. Another such victory will ruin him. In 18G8, Grant received a majority ol 8,000 votos in New Hampshire. It will thus be soon that he has lost over three fourths of hiB former majority, and that, too, after the most powerful exer? tions that oould bo put forth io his be half. If he loses at this rate in a straight Democratic fight, when that party, too, may be said to be disorganized ant without any fixed or certain purpose ai to their course at present, what will hit chances be when he is opposed by th? brains and integrity of tho Republicai party, represented by Schurz, Sumner Chase, Trumbull, Greeley and their auti Grant associates? The election is, o course, discouraging to ultra-Democrats and we are glad of it, if they are thereby dissuaded from making a strictly purl; struggle iu the Presidential campaign The South, in our judgment, wouh not take the additional risk of defeat fo the small advantage that would begaiuei to her, if any at all, by a straight-cm Democratic National Administration more than what would be reaped unde the rule of the reformed Republicans. To wrench tho Government from th hands of a military tyrant, and the dee potiem to which it is rapidly verging and to secure u return tn constitution! freedom, where tho rights of the State will be daly observed, is what the Soot most longs to see and most needs. Thu we take it, is tho spirit of the anti-Gnu Republican movement. We therefor hope it suooess, and believe that the cot servative mon of the South, kuowo a Democrats, will give it their earnest un unqualified support. .-*><>?? Tho world appears to bo entering upo another era of falso prophets und pr< pheoics, such as it passed through abot twenty years ago, and will probably pat through twenty years hence. They gei orally refer to the impending destrn tion of the world, as in tho case of Mi 1er and Cummings. A sect has recent sprung up iu Russia, half barbaric in i ceremonies, which promises the speei destruction oMdl things, uud is givit great trouble, to tho Government. crazy priest in South America has scan half of its inhabitants to death by pot tively fixing thu dato of a general smas up.

Thia dusky seer has appointed general resurrection for next sprin when tho grass shall have attuinod tl height of a "pouy's hoofs." At tl timo, ho says, all tho mountains will leveled, and all the people of tho pi and present will dwell together ou t great plain thus formed.

The town of Union was visited with a terribly destructive ?re, yesterday morn tag, which swept away both hotel?, and seven or eight other buildings, in? cluding the Times offloe. The loss ie estimated at $75,000, ouly a portion in? sured. We sincerely condole with the doubly afflicted town. Mr. Stokes, no? thing daunted, is already reeking ar? rangements to resume operations. The puper had been mailed ouly a few hours before tho lire broke ont. We are in? debted to him for the following descrip? tion of tho work of the tire demon: UNION COURT ITOUSK. FRIDAY MOUSING. March 15. 1872. Fm END HELBY: A lire broke out iu thin town, this coming, about 4 o'clock, and destroyed a great portion of the business part of Union. It was fl rut discovered around the chimney of Mr. Wm. Filer's store, iu tho second story of the building. Wo had no lire eugine or any other apparatus for combatting tiro, so that thu destroying element lind full sway. A Blight breezo sprung up, and we could do but little more than stund nod watch it burn. I cannot estimate the loss, but it is very great for this place. The buildings destroyed were the brick block, belonging to Mr. ll. L. Goss, Mrs. Lamb, Capt. A. H. Foster, the National Hotel and the Central Hotel. lu Mr. Goss' building was Mr. Filer's store, containing a large stock of dry goods, groceries, hardware, dre; Reuben aims' stock of grocories; the second story was occupied by Dr. Bennett, dentist, uud the room lately occupied by Gen. Jos. Gist. I dou't think any? thing waa saved by these gentlemen. In Mrs. Lamb's building, Dr. Gibbs oc? cupied the lower story as a drug store. Ho lost everything. Tho Timen office was iu tho upper story, and not a type, or anything in Che way of material was saved-a total IOBS; my sou savod my books. Capt. Foster, fortunately, saved nearly all his heavy Block of goods-of course, in a very mixed up condition. A portion of the furniture in the hotels was saved. The wooden store belong? ing to Col. J. L. Young, next to Mr. Filer's store, was also destroyed, (fortu? nately no ono occupied it,) with .sumo tenements iu tho rear of the store. A number of out-buildings were destroyed. Mr. Tinsley uud Dr. J. A. Mooro occu? pied a building between the two stores the first as a jeweler's store, nod tho latter OH a doctor's shop. Mr. Tinsley's j-iwelry, tools, &o., were saved; but Dr. Moore lost all his surgical instruments and medicines. A. W. Thompson ?Sc Co. occupied tho building adjoining tho National Hotel. Fortunately their stock was very low, and Vboy saved most of it. Two rooms adjoining were occupied by colored people-oue a shoemaker aud tho other a little fruit nod variety store. They saved most of their property. I learn that a colored child was burned in an out-house of the hotel. I huvo just left tho lire-Capt. Foster's building is burning. Tho flumes spread rapidly. Tho cars aro about to start. R. M. STOKES. - Mr. Dawes, Chairman of the Commit? tee on Ways und Means, announced to thc House, the other day, that it would probably become necessary for tho Go? vernment to borrow SlO.000,000 next year to defray current expenses; and that, too, without paying uny part of tho national debt. Tho ouly way, he de- j olared, for avoiding such a result wau to ' increase tho revenue beyond tho ont ?mate and cut down the appropriations. If this statement had been made by a De? mocrat or anti-Administration Republi? can, it would have buen nt oucu de? nounced ns untrue by tho politicians and ' papers that have been making such a blow of Into about thu admirable, management of the national finances. Coming from one of their own friends, however, aud one, too. who is in a posi? tion to know whereof he speaks, it is a sad dumper upon their ardor. Tho bor? rowing of $10,000,000 to add to tho 8317.UO0.00O of revenue receipts, in order to bring tito amount up to a liguro high euough to meet the expenditures during the lust year of President G ru u t's administration, would certainly have a very bad appearance. The friends of tho Administration at Washington will try hard to devise some plau of making a fair showing for tho present. They aro batiking largely on tho futuro, aud not until tho Presidential election is over will tho country know what tho real financial condition is.

EDITOR ANDERSON INTEI?I?IOENOBR : Supposing that a communication of this kind would be of some interest to oar i scientific friends, I submit with pleasure the following particulars, in reference to the mineral resources of our State. I am fully aware that publications of this nature are by many considered tedious, but when tho important matter lends to the development and new discovery of such minerals as.huve recently come un der my observation, I feel confident tbat at least soino few of our fellow-beings will be interested, if only to exclaim: "Yo-; I often imtigibcd that wo pos? sessed mineral wealth;" and it is, there? for?, that I fe?l com j M tiled to make known, for tho community nt largo, the great importance of those rich minerals, which have heretofore been considered of Hliuh little value Corundum I have found iu inexhaustible quantities, which alone is a mineral of immense value, it bel?g principally used for maniifacturiue spindle pivots, etc., for watches.

Most of the orystnhzed specimens aro rhombm dodekahaedcUH. Gold is plentiful, as you probably have known for some time, aud if properly mauaged, can be easily and very advantageously worked.

I might mention many other minerals, such as mica, copper, manganeso, lead, serpentine, asbestos, clo., but not wish ing to make my lotter too tedious, I will postpone for a hitor day. Should any of our friends, who are in favor of pro? gress, development and civilization, lie desirous of further information, 1 will be pleased lo furnish them with more satisfactory details. A. C.

When tho liver becomes t rpid or congested, it fails to eliminate this vast amount of iioxions eub btanoo, which, therefore, romains to poison the blood and bo conveyed to every part of tho system. What must be tho condition of the blood when it is receiving and retaining each day two aud a half pounds of poison? Nature trios to work off thia poison through other channels and organs- thc kidneys, lungs, skin, etc.; hut these organs Docomo over-taxed in performing this labor, in addi? tiou to their natural functions, aud cannot lung withstand tho pressure, hut become variously diseased. The brain, which is tho groat electrical cen? tre or all vitality, is unduly stimulated by the unhealthy blood which passes to it. from tho heart, and it fails to perform its office health? fully.
