COLUMBIA. S. a Tuwlay domine. Maren 10.1872. Stick? to that ?.Ljrin*." For want of argument, and to blind the eyes of the colored people to a tree tense of the duties of citizenship, the champion of corruption replies to our eharge of his not being a "representa? tive white man," by howling about Ku Klux outrages. It is the' Radical dema? gogue's usual trick, but it is becoming threadbare. The colored people are be? ginning to get a little insight into the deceitfulness' of such pleas. The Ku Klux Klan, as it is called, or persons under the guiso of Ku Klux, committed a number o? brutal and shocking out? rages, beyond all doubt; but we fail to aa?, and every sensible colored man will tail to see, how that fact oan make an honest man a white man, or a good, re? spectable negro of the nondescript who otters himself to the people of Columbia as Alderman of the Fourth Ward. He seems to think it very improper that personal issues should be made in this municipal election. We can readily understand why the would-be Alderman wishes to quiet suoh questions. If per? sonal integrity and fitr^js are made the measnre of a candidate's ohanoes for election, he would inevitably be oounted ont; but if considerations of that cha? racter are to have.no weight; if purty strife can be raised, and a profession of Republicanism, however false, so it be but loud-mouthed, made the only requi? site, then he will be os sur o to go in ns Columbia will bo lo "go up." To men of liSa stripe-the carpet-bng element, tho floating soom of the North, irresponsible adventurers, who bave flocked into South Carolina, and by stir? ring np ill blood and distrust between the two raoes of native citizens foisted themselves into public positions, and gained control of the Unanoes of the State-ia solely due tho enormous in? crease of our public debt and our ruin? ons taxation. They have come for money, and for nothing else. Not money earned by honest toil, but by publio jobs-venality and outright plun? dering of the people's funds. They have already pocketed millions, but they are insatiate. They debauch the minde of the untutored colored men, with whom they are associated, and are a onrae to them no less than to the coun? try. They rest'like sn incubus upon the industry and growth of the State, and, in checking the increase of capital, keep down the price of labor. They serve nc good purpose in our midst, and thc sooner they are thrown into that obscu? rity from which they Bprung, the better for all our people, black and white. Among this class the "white representa tire"-God save the mark-of the Fourth Ward is prominent. He has been thc henchman of Scott & Co., and theil unscrupulous advocate and apologist ii all their jobs and frauds upon the State. His part during the late session of th? Legislature was to preach an increase o taxation from first to last until the out rage was consummated. He is the con stunt traducer of the white people of th? State. What excuse is there for making such a man as that an Alderman of th< city? What interests does he represent' We repudiate him for a white man. H< knows he ia not one. His skin may b< white, but he has not the tr nat and esteen of a corporal's guard of honest whit? people. Neither oan he, with more pro prie ty, be said to represent the colore* people. The fact that he may pay taxe on his ill-gotten gains does not, more over, make him a proper representativ of the tax-payer, as he sophistioally in sinnates. He is about the last mau ii the city that the tax-payers would selec to manage their affairs. He is an out spoken advocate of high taxes, which, c itself, is enough to kill him with botl property-holders and laborers, or work ing-men. As we have said before, nei ther he nor any of his white brother car didates represent any interest in th community or any class of people exeep themselves. "Raje or class legislation" is ba enough, bot individual, personal leg ?sh Hon is far worao. If they were sincere) and intelligently trno to tho real int? rests of their race, a Council compose entirely of colored mon would bu ho preferable to tho nativo wi,*.tn cit: zens of Columbia, and the bon fide foreign born citizens, too, t having such men as Carpenter, Hog and Griffin. Tho way to prevoi class or raoo legislation is to have a races, and closscs, or intcresto, us nearly at least as practicable, represented in th Government. That isa point upon wlaic Democracy and Republicanism do nc differ. Such a combination as that the host guarantee for an honest, ec? nominal and efficient adininUtrutiuu < public aflairs. This is tho sole aim an desigu of the citizens' movement, whic wjrkH tu lay as?d? t?! party bia*, as th? ooly way to attain this desirable end. In this light it meeta the approbation of ft namber pf the most prominent Repub? licans in the city, and can but commend itself to tho favor aud support of such of oar colored citizens es have intelli? gence, to see the beneficial results which mast follow to their race, and the whites alike, by such s combination. The colored people have plaoed white men in nomination who are distasteful, for they have not the confidence ot the race they apparently represent. We simply ask to replace these with snoh persons as we feel we can trust to manage onr business, in common with oar colored copartners. If there be anything bad er dangerous to the welfare of the colored people in the persons we nomi? nate, 1st them speak np and say so, or ref uso to vote for them. If they are all elected, it can only be done through a concession of the colored people. Suoh a concession, as tending to promote the general welfare, we ask for. If they grant it, we shall be gratified. If they refuse and allow political demagognes to influence them, to the damage of our common interests, we will regret it; but we will certainly be in no worse oondition than if wo had never made the effort. But we believe they -will grant it. No? thing that they oonld do would tend so muon to hasten the growth of that friendship and mutual confidence be? tween the raoes whioh good men desire, than a just and honorable acknowledg? ment of the claims of thoir whito follow oitizens to a voice in the management of their common concerns, like that which is now proposed. O' course, the carpet? bag fraternity will oppose to tho bitter end any such harmony and goodfeeliug. Such a consummation would be tho I death-knell of their career of plunder. I Wo do not mean by carpet bagger every NIT:hem man that has oome into the State, nor any genuine and honest Re? publican; but simply those who, under , tho profession of Republicanism, havo I robbed the people; who distract atteu 1 tioa by the cry of Ku Klus, ?to., while they ure filching from the pubJia pock? ets; who are Republicans only in uame, und aro disowned and deridod by bona fide Republicans at the North. S. I>. Swygert. We publia? this morning, under the head of "Tho People's Tioket," the namo of Mr. S. D. Swygert for Mayor. Mr. Swygert fills the bill in one aud the most important respeot, at least. Hu bas the reputation of being "as houest as the day is long." That qualification should go a long way, and if the "Citi? zens* Clubs" settle upon Mr. Swygert as the proper candidate, we will give him our cordial support. But we thiuk at snoh a crisis as this the judgment of the mass of citizens should determine our candidate. We await tbat judgment. Sleeting In Ward 3. We trust the good citizens of Ward 2 will givo a full attendance to the meet? ing at Carolina Hall, this evening. By a judioious nomination, we have every reason to hope that S. L. Huge, the only objectionable nominee now in the field, in our judgment, will not be an Alderman of this city. Of that cause celebre, the Tichborne case, we have perhaps not yet seen the end. A rumor has come over the cable that the Marquis of Bute has consented to bo bail for "Arthur Orton," ita hero. If this be true, it will croate au impres? sion that after all the vordict of tho jury is not a correct one. It wilt be remem? bered that the evidence was very contra dictory, and Lady Tichborne sworo thal "this man" was her son. The parisli surgeons likewise aocepted him as thc long-lost heir, but the clergyman re jected him; so that, although the jar j decided tho question in tho minds o many-especially the ownors of Tioh borne bonds-the affair will still bo con sidered an unsolved mystery. Will Iht Marquis of Bute's dellars solvo it? -?-*.?-.

Dr?, j TUBBAN0K8 AT THB SOUTH.-The Detroit ' J?Yea i'rss? draws a striking parallel of Ihe misgovernment of Ibo Booth, while n tba hands of the Radical party: "Wbilo Missouri was In the hands of the Radicals it was the ?heatre of out? rage and murder. State militia traversed toe oountry t nd robbed and plundered i ie people in the name of union and p-aoe. Men were imprisoned without oauHB, and houses were desolated by the baud of the spoiler. The immense re HourooH of the State were dormant, and the euergies of the people were paralyzed. Now the State is io the hands of the Democrats and Liberal Republicans. The people ore peaceful and law-abiding. No military marauders outrage their bornes or deprive them of their liberty. Tho freedom of the press is Nguiu guaranteed, and mob violence is os rarely resorted to as iu any of the other States of the Uniou that are filled with a new and mixed population. The wealth of the State is being rapidly de? veloped, the energies of the people ore unrestrained through fear of the op? pressive exorcise of power, and prospe? rity is crowning every branch of indus? try. The parallel bas its application. "Virginia wus soon wrested from tho bauds of the carpet bag thieves who sought to outrage aud plunder ita peo? ple. Peace and prosperity waa at ouco restored within its borders, aud progret-s iu the work of recuperation has boen UDobatruoted ever since. There have been no Ku Klux outrages within the State. The people have dovoted them selves tu building up the interests brokeu down by the war and promoting thu general prosperity of tho Commou weultb. lu this State, also, the parallel finds nu application. Compare Missouri und Virginia with the States of South Carolina, Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas anti Florida, where carpet-bng rascality hus buen kept iu the ascendancy, and the peoplo hove been outraged by State HS well us national authority. Turu to Teuuessee, wheu tho people wore perse? cuted by the Brownlow rule, aud wu lind another striking contract. The restora? tion of the D?mocrate and Conservatives to power brought peace and prosperity to the people-outrages ceased, because thu goverument became just. They will cease iu all the Southern States wheu tho goverumenls iu these States ure the creations of the popular will, not de? spotic powers placed over them by the arbitrary use of Goverument bayonets. l'Ile great evil which has ufllicted most of the States iu the South bus been tho ono of mis-govtvumeut; and that has beeu forced upon the people by a power outside of the State, lt bas been tho creation of usurpation und wrong. Its influences havo been on tho side of evil, and the exercise of power bas been au unbroken catalogue of crime. When the peoplo of all the Southern States shall become relieved of tho unnatural and arbitrary governments to which they have been subjected, we shall hear no more of crimes in those Stated. The people will be as qiiiet and law-abiding as they are now iu Missouri, Tennessee, Virginia, Georgia and Alabama, whore carpet-bag rule is at an end." Sinoo our lost report, we have picked up a few additional items in regard to the damages camed by the fearful tor? nado of Saturday night and Sunday morning Inst, in Florida. Considerable damage was done at Cracker Swamp, where several houses were blown down and one man seriously hurt. The num? ber of lives reported lost during the tempest was six: Miss Leroey, Jerry Harrison and Mrs. Wiggins; the names of tho others we have been unable to learn. About five head of cattle are re? ported to b ave been killed. The damage doue at Sanderson, forty miles, and Baldwin, twenty miles from thin city, was considerable. Several bouses were blown down and some lives lost. A colored man, named Jerry Aiken, wus found dead, at bis home in Nassau Street, Charleston, on Sunday. It is presumed that ho was killed by a fall, while intoxicated. Tho Peopto's Ticket. For Mayor, *. O.

Tho table exhibited, iu tho artistic taste of the general arrangement and quality and variety of the tempting viands, tho skill of the master hand that "has rendered Mr. McKenzie the sine qua non to all Buah festive occasions in our city. There was a bountiful supply of the most deliciously prepared turkey, duck, pheasant, fish, and meats of every de? scription; also, chicken salad, jellies, pickles, aud a varioty of Boob condi? ments as whet the appetito and give a relish to food. Three brilliant orange, cocoanut ; and meringue steeples, with pyramids of oakes iced in the most wonderful and beantiful style, wire the striking ornaments.

VEBDICT OPJPHE JUBT.- Coroner Cole? man held an inquest, Sunday, at the co? op?rative store of the Charlotte, Colom? bia and Angosta Railroad, over the body of Mr. Simpson, (whoso murder was re? corded in Sanday's PHOENIX,) when the following testimony was elicited, four witnesses hiing examined: William Lucas, Hannoh Bridges, end Tim. Dennie, a boy, came to the co-ope? rative atora together and knocked. They then pushed open the door and went io, and asked for sardines and crackers. While there. Simpson, the deceased, oame in, passed them and went to the back patt of the store. Bridges pur? chased some sagar-ten cents* worth when Lucas remarked that it must be poor sugar, or he would not have got so much of it for the money. Lucas thea accosted Simpson sbont some powder and shot the latter bad borrowed of him, and the latter replied that he had told the dork in Mr. Ham berg's store, below, to let hi D have the powder and Bhot ia retnrn. Luoas, with an oath and an epithet, suid, "Can't yon get it any? where else bat there?" They then got boisterous, aud Reeves, one of the olerks in the store, told Simpson to go and sit down, and called Prim, an engineer on the road, to help him olear the store. After getting them out and closing the door, some one waa heard to fall against tba shutter, and upon opening the door again, all three of tho parties-Lucas, Bridges and Simpson-had hold of euch other. While Lucas was in the store, be wus soen by the witnesses with a knife drawn, and the blade up his sleeve. After opening the door, Luca? was M'en to raise his arm with the knife in his bund, with which he cut Simpson in the lower part of the abdomen, near the groin. The deceased said, "Pm hurt," and went into the store, when he was placed on the counter, after which he lived but a little over a minute. Prim, Reeves und English pursued Lucas about 100 yards and arrested him. After being arrested, he attempted to stab English with the same knife. When brought back to the store, Prim said to him, "Bill, yon havo killed that poor man;" to which Lucas replied, "I hope I have; I hope he is in hell." The knife was taken from him, when he said, with an? other oath and expletive, he hoped to God be had killed him. He was then delivered over to the sheriff. After hearing the testimony, the jury returned the following verdict: "That the aforesaid Bill or William Lucas, in manner and form aforesaid, John Simpson then and there felonious? ly did kill, against the peace and dignity of the State aforesaid, and that Haunch Bridges was aiding and abetting in said killing." Lnoas and Bridges have been folly I committed by the Coroner to await trial. LIST OP NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. Acts of the Geueral Assembly. Jobo Alexander-Proclamation. Managers of Election.

POISONED TO DEATH.-A healthy liver se? cretes each day about two and a half pounds of bile, which containa a great amount of wanto material taken from the blood.
