COLUMBIA,; m c. Sunday Morning, Karon 31, 1872. Save tb? City. It is every man'! duty to aid in the effort to save the city, on Tuesday. No oitizen can escape the responsibility. Apathy and indifference' will result in further opportunities for unprincipled carpet-baggers to defraud the people, omah the oity with a mountain load of debt, and deprive honest labor of a fair remuneration for its toil. Colombia ex? pects every man to do his daly. The Xjib?ral Republicans and th? Con. nectlcut Election. The action which the liberal Republi oanB will take is the ohief theme of gen? eral interest in the Connections election, which comes off to-morrow. Like her sister, New Hampshire, Connecticut is fairly divided, in every respect, between Republicans and Dem?crata. In num? bers, wealth, intelligence, character, and patriotio devotion to their State, the warmest partisan on either side cannot olaim any appreciable preference for themselves. The last Republican admi? nistration, like its D?mocratie predeces? sors, has given to the Nutmeg State an irreproachable Government. No cor? ruptions, no thefts, no swindles, no ex? travaganoe, no fraudulent issue of bonds, no increase .of taxation, and, withal, a diminution of the public debt, is the re? cord of that happy State. Yet wo hear, too, that the Government was Republi? can last year. The rotten concern we have here in South Carolina calls itself Republican, too. One or the other is a lie; whioh is it? South Carolina had a so-called Republican majority of 30,000 at tho last election-Connecticut only 100. Our Government, then, if it doesn't | lie in oalling itself Republican, is more Republican than Connecticut. Wo are j forced to the conclusion that there, ia a mistake in tho name here, and that oar pet-bagism and Republicanism are by no means synonymous terms. ? Bat to Connecticut. There are no' looal issues in the election now on hand, and national politics alono serv? to1 clothe the contest with the little interest it has to the citizens of the State. But little effort is being thade by the Demo? ''"crats, and the Republicans; though struggling strenuously, under the im? pulse of a mighty shove from Washing? ton and, a host of speakers from other 1 States, has failed to arouse any marked enthusiasm among the masseu. The re? sult depends,, perhaps, upon tho oourse ' which tho liberal Republicans may pur? sue. The' New York World ia deep in ila denunciations of Schurz, Sumner and tho other leaders of the liberal Re? publican movement, that ?hey have made no endeavor whatever to show their strength in opposing Grant, by taking sides with the Democrats and aiding in the election of Hubbard; the D?mocrat e oaudidato for Governor. It accuses thom of au utter want of politi? cal courage and independence; prediots that they will be frightened back into the support of Grant, and advises a ? square-out Democratic fight for tho Pre? sidency. Why this hot haste to turn tail upon tho men^hooa tho World has been so warmly sustaining but a short while since, we are at a loss to soe? It is silly to suppose and unreasonable to demand that liberal Republicans, bo causo they oppose Grant and centraliza? tion, must support Democratic candi? dates, and especially in a caso Uko that j in Conuoctiout, where tho interests of good government are in no way endan? gered by a Republican success. A Re? publican triumph in Connecticut cannot now bo claimed, by any means, as an endorsement of Grant; for the Central! Republican Oommittoo, clearly perooiv-1 ing the oortaiuty of defeat on that issue, have declared that no such issuo is in? volved in tho oampaign. Senator Ferry, lob, a Republican, who is working for re-election, is retorted by tho correa pondent of the Njfw York Herald, whioh strongly favors Grant, as boing notice? ably guarded, in his public speeohes, not 1 to say ono word in personal or indivi- ' dual commendation of Grant. Liberal Republicanism mcaus opposition to Grant and centralization, tho success of which will be glory enough for ono cam? paign. On that lino, good men, how? ever thoy may differ in collateral politi? cal opinions, can join hands. That is all that need bo required, and nil that is wise'to bd;nskod. Whether Connecticut or any other State becomes in its local government Republican or Demo ora tic, if the parties aro any ways equal in in? telligence and integrity, doesn't matter a baubee. A oolorcd woman in tho South-eastern seotion of tho oity gave birth to a ohild on Tuesday night last with two well-de? veloped horns; ono on each Bide of tho head. Tt is said to bo quite a cariosity, and many persons have boen to examino tho singular specimen of humanity. X Wilmington Star. Remember to Htgliltr. No p orson will be entitle 1 tc vote on Tuesday, who has not registered. Ee? na ember that regi?tratio? is an ind ispen- J table prerequisite to fha right of voting? -?f ? aft ?-a The Frenen Arme Investigation-J?m-| ./'i ncr'* Protest. The sale o? arme by Government of? ficiais of the War Department to the ! agents of the Frenoh Government, bas been proved beyond all question, by the testimony given before the investigating oommittee nf the Senate. Furthermore, it has boon established that whatever possible doabt there might haye,been on the part of the officials Of oar Govern? ment as tp tho oharaoter of the par chasers of the arms as agents of the Freeh Government at the time of salo, it iras well known what their destination | Was' at the time of the delivery ot tho arms. The bdlk'of the arms and stores sold: were' delivered by the Government at tho pier of thc French steamship. They wore, marked by oar army agente j F. B., indicating French Republic, andi they were delivered by tho Government [ in Government lighters. So far as tho resolution of Mr. Sum? ner charged a violation of the laWs of neutrality by the War Department, and deceit' and bad faith pr?o.ticed towards Germany, it has ween most fully' sus? tained by,the evidence, notwithstanding that the majority of tho committee dis-' favored the investigation, and have striven by every menus ia their power to so explain tho affair as to shield the ad? ministration I rom blame. Having failed in this, they now turn With malignant spite upon Mr. Sumner, the instigator of the investigation, with a desire to badger him and compel him as a witness before them to disclose tho confidential communications made to him, and upon which tie Baooeeded in ferreting out tho "disgraceful.piece pf jobbery. Mr. Sumner,-whoso protest we pub? lished at length yesterday, rofuscs to tes? tify, apon tho ground, first, that it is un? becoming his dignity and honor us a Seuxior to allow himself to be questioned 'oatBide of the Senate upon matters which ho ohose, as the representative of tho people, to bring boforo that body; ead, secondly, he objects to the compe? tency of the committee* as having beon organized contrary to parliamentary law and long established usage.' We are not j prepared to announce an opinion upon the validity ol the ' abjections urged by Mr. Sumner, as exempting him'from the obligation of testifying before the com? mittee, but can appr?cia to tho wisdom and justice of his protest. A subpona has boen serred^trpon the protesting Senator which, it LB expected, he will of course disdain to notice, and then Will come the tog of war. The committee will, doubtless, have Mr. Sumner ar? raigned before th? bar of the Senate for contempt, and we may expect an inte? resting and abie vindication of his ] course. Tho attempt made by the Czar, through Gen. Lovaschoff, to reconcile and recall the'.diiaffected Poles resident in France and other oountries, is said to be meeting with encouraging success, and it now appears that the negotiations will end in a measure of amnesty on a largo scale, and an entire chango in the relations existing between Russia and Poland. Tho wisdom manifested by the Czar and tho course pursued, is highiy commended in Europe, not only on ac? count of its liberality, but also tho bene? ficial effect his policy is likely to wield upon the future peaco of the Continent. MEMORIAL TO THF LATE WM. GILMORE I SIMMS.-At a meeting of friends and ad I mirors of the late W. Gilmore Simms, the following resolution was unanimously adopted: Resolved, That committees bo appoint? ed by the chairman of this meeting, at his leisure, for tho city and State at largo, who shall be charged with tho duty of proouring pious for a suitable monument to bo erected over thc re? mains of Wm.

In pursnnnco of this resolutioo, tho ?chairman, Hon. Alfred Huger, has ap? pointed committees iu every County. -? ? ? ? A MLIIDERER HANGS HIMSELF.-Wo learn from tho Lexington (Ky.) Obsci'ver and Reporter, March 23d, that Leonard Stough, the Richmond wife murderer, committed suicide last Monday morning by hanging himself with two hand? kerchiefs. und a towel, tied togethor to tho top bar Of the iron door loading from tho dungeon to ibo cell.

TUE PBISONEBS ?Ott TJ?lION-HoVf ras ? nr. Ears WXBB CQNOTJOTKD-No WAH HANI H, No ?HABOE, NO BAXL.-Tho Ka Klux prisoners from Union County, wats? arrival in'thia city was reported m the-Nevss, of tu? 23d instant, are still aft the Coan ty jail, awaiting their mockery gi ? trial at the next term of the United States Circuit Court, te begin in this city next Monday. Tho list of arrivals, aa- publish od at the' time, included the names of three men arrested on charge of violating the revenue law, and of thirty whoso'alleged o ri rue ie?. Pupppseft to be soma violation of the Enforcement or Ku KTox Act, though, in this majority Of the oases,'the p rino tors themselves have not the Slightest idea of the oause of their arrest, aud havo never bean fur? nished with' the oharges against them, the names of the persons making the oharges, or even shown a warrant of arrest. They have been confinad In one jail and another for periods varying from two weeks to five months, with no op? portunity to prepare .for trial, because they !have no moana of knowing the charges against them, and'without bei tig allowed to give bail, although, in most qf the cases, any reasonable amount of security?could aasily be obtained. Seven of the thirty are colored men, and four of these are Radicals and mem bera of the Loyal League. . Of the white prisoners, many are gen? tlemen of education, refinement and high sooial and professional position. Ono of these ia Colonel J. F. Gist, one of tho ablest attorneys and one of tho ?uest gentlemen in tho State, and the oircumatanoe8 of his arrest afford a fair illustration of the illegal and arbitrary manner in which these proceeding have, from first to last, been conducted. The arrest was mndo on Saturday, the 8th in? stant, at Uuionville. Deputy Marshal J. H. Williams, encountering Colonel Gist on the street, uooostod him by Bay? ing, "You are my prisoner." Colonel Giat naked to bo Bhown his warrant of arrest, but Williams deolined to show it. When asked if ho hnd any warrant, Wil? liams replied that ho had, but that hu had been ordered not to shew it. He said that he would show tho back of the warrant, and he held up a paper on which was endorsed, "Tho United States against J. P. Gist," and which ho said was a warrant of arrest issued by United States Commissioner Byron. Colonel Gist not being satisfied with this authority, declined to bo arrested, but told Williams that ho would go to the Commissioner's office, and surrender himself, if a propor warrant of arrest had been issued ugaiust him. Colonel Gist then called upon tho Commissioner and asked if a warrant had been issued for his arrest, aud was told that it had. He asked to be shown the warrant, bat thia was again refused. He then asked if an affidavit had been made against him upon which to predicate a warrant of arrest. The Commissioner ovaded the question for awhile, and. then eaid that nu affidavit had beon made by J. H. Williams, the Deputy Marshal who had attempted his arrest, and who is a re oehtly discharged soldier from the Unitad States army. Colonel Gist asked, os a matter of right, to bo Bhown the affidavit, so that he might know the oharge against him. This demand was positively refused, and to this day, Co? lonel Gint has not seen the affidavit, and does cot know that any charge has boon regularly preferred against him. Colonel Gist then asked to be allowed to give bail for his appearance, but this request was also positively refused by the Commissioner, who declared that he was neting under tho orders of a higher authority, lt being plain, however, that, even under the moat extraordinary circumstances, any resistanoe by Colonel Gist would have been worse than useless, and would ouly have boeu seized upon as a pretext for additional insult, he submitted to the arrest, and delivered himself np at tho Union County jail, whence he was transferred, as already .'dated, to tho jail in this city. Since his arrival hero, ho has boon visited by the Hon. A. G. Magrath, Hon. W. D. Por? ter and others of his legal brethren, who havo been profuso in their oxpressioos of sympathy and ollera of professional assistance. It is almost needless to add that Colonel Gist is prepared at any time to make the clearest defence upon any charge of lawlessness that can bo brought against him; but it appears to bo the polioy of tho prosecution, as was shown in the recent trials at Columbia, to keep him and the rest of the prisoners in ignorance of tho chargea against them until tho latest possiblo moment, BO as to leave them little or no time to ?trepare for trial. Tho treatment of theso prisoners is everything that could bo expected under tho circumstances, aud it is greatly to tho credit of tho efficient keeper of tho jail, Mr. John Clnussen, that, recogniz? ing tho fact that many of theso prisoners are gentlemen of high, standing, he bns been careful not to add gratuitous in? sults to the many discomforts of their position, nod has extended to thom every attention and comfort that is consistent with the faithful discharge of his duty. Tho general appearance- and manage? ment of the jail is also very creditnblo to its keeper. Ono features of great inter? est is tho freo school for such of tho pri? soners nu desiro to.avail themselves of its advantages, which has boon established m tho jail by Mr. Clnussen. This enter? prise has beon maintained for about ono year without any chargo to tho prisoners or to the County. It is held in a largo room on tho second floor of tho jail, mado by tho removal of a partition, and is attended daily by seventy or oighty of tho prisoners, many of whom exhibit a gratifying degree of progress in tho ru? dimentary studies which aro taught. The following is a list of the prisoners from Union County, who aro supposed to hov o been arrestod ou tho oharge of Ku Kluxism, with tho dates of their arrests: Col. J. P.

Pmnn AMD PuBiirr OF JAMES FISE, Ju.-lt appoars from .Mo Al pine's "Lifo and Times of James Fisk, Jr.," that the redoubtable James had not only a stiong aversion to lying, but that ho had an ut? ter contempt for a mau who would be a salesman in a wholesale dry goods shop. He thought there must bo fun in tho lifo of a salesman in a retail concern, whete existence is mado more than' endurable by chaffing with women and measuring tape for them, bnt to stand and "dicker" with aman who knows you are lying, and who knows that you know that he knowB you aro lying,; was a thing from which his gigantio ?oul ever revolted. This purity and this pride made him at last controller ot Ene and the Opera House-two institutions in which.prick r.nd purity went hand in hand, and so becamo notorious.-New York World. An English clergyman, a high church man, was preparing a humber of young women last month (February) for con? firmation. Among them is ono who tells this story: "You all doubtless know, my good girls," said he, addressing them with affectionate earnestness, "what noxl Wednesday is?" "Oh, yes, sir," they all exclaimed, "it is Valentine's Day." They were right enough; but it was also Ash Wednesday, whioh happened to fal! on tho 14th this year, and tho coicci dence was fatal to'its pretensions.
