COLUNIA. S. C. ' Thursday Horning, April ll, 1872. Hr To rm lu oar Btato QOTtrnmtnt. It seems to be generally understood and quietly agreed that the white people of the State will remain passive, or, at least, take no sotive and distinot patt, in the general eleotions this fall. The hopelessness of any further effort of the white people to bring about politioal harmony of action between the two races has impressed the minds of oar people, and they cannot be persuaded again to undertake suoh work, in which nothing but insults have been hitherto gained, until the colored people shall become cosvinoed of the folly and peril of their present course, and themselves proffer that co-operation by whioh only we can ever hope to have a perfectly satisfactory government in the State. The field will be left entirely open to the Republicans in the approaching cam? paign, to effect Bach reforms in their own ranks aa they may have the wish and ability to do. They will be left per? fectly free and unentrammelled by any political ac (agonists, to select from their own numbers the most virtuous and in? telligent that their ranks afford. "Whether such can be done or not, ic,' of course, a matter of much doubt. It depends entirely upon the strength, tact and earnestness whioh the genuino re? formers will exhibit. There are, we be? lieve, a number of intelligent and saga? cious colored men of position and influ? ante in the Republican party of the State, and white men likewise, who are heartily disgusted with the rottenness of the present government, and are keenly aYtre to the disastrous consequences whioh have already followed from it, and the still greater ruin that must ulti? mately come, if some healthful chango be not soon wrought. Upon these cien, rests the only present hope of checking .ur downward course. Thore will, of course, be a dissension in the Republi? can party. With no common foe to contend against, individuo! ambition for place, power and emolument, would of itself or?ate a division. In such a squab? ble,, where the issue will be not that of honest reform against corruption, but simply rogue against rogue, or who shall have the plunder, the white people can take no interest. If we are left a choice, for instance, between Scott and Noagle, merely as candidates for Go? vernor, there is not a soore of decent and sensible white men in the State who would turn on their heels for the election of the one in preference to the other. They are but different segments of the same damnable ring, and that ring has many segments of a like charac? ter. But, if on the other hand, the line of demarcation be drawn by such Republi? cans as have a real desire, whilo making a new government, to mend, the old, a goodly number of the whites will not be simply indifferent lookers on, but will give them considerable support at the ballot-box, if not on tho stump. If the conservative whites are satisfied that an honest effort is being made by the better blaok and white Republicans to amelior? ate tho condition of the State-which will best be shown by tho character of the men put forward for publio posi? tions-no inconsiderable vote will bo east.in their favor. The Republican reformers, though, must commence to work in time. If the primary County conventions aro allowed to bo manipulated in tho interest of tho present regime; if the same men who now compose the Legislature compose or oontrol the County conventions, and hence the State nominating convention, the struggle of the reformers will be ex? ceedingly doubtful, if not utterly hope? less. Once let it bo established that Scott or Neaglo, or tho devil himself, as some of the party have declared, is tho nominee of what they may term tho regular Republican convention, and the masses of untutored blacks will follow him like a flock of sheep. The work of reform, then, to be suc? cessful, must, like the Union League, bo initiated at the cabin; from there work its way in the neighborhood, control tho Connty conventions, and thus show its power when tho nominations aro made. -?-??-. EDITOUIAIJ RETIREMENT.-Wo regret to seo that the editorial connection of Mr. H. W. Rice with tho Loxington Dispatch has coased. Mr. Rioo is an able writer, and his editorial careor has been marked by no little of that earnestness and vim that characterize him an a rising member of the legal profession. We aro sorry to IOBO him from tho journalistic field, but it is some comfort to know that what is lost to tho press will bo gaiuud to tho bar. - If you Hud a newspaper curiously folded, lying on a ball-room floor, don't ask stupid questions about it. [Boston Globe, Is THERE NO REDRESS?-Ono C. lu Casey, who, while acting as deputy mar? shal under Maj. Johnson, was guilty of the most outrageous and riotous oonduot at Union ville, and who is now under in? dictment in the United States Court for blank-mailing, for which be was deposed from office by Major Johnson, has been restored to 'office by Marshal Wallace, and is now lording it over our citizens in a manner whioh cannot be longer en? dured if there is any mode of redress. However groat our coatempt for the man who has shown himself so baso and unscrupulous, we were content to let him pass as long as ho confined himself to a legitimate discharge of his duties, bat when he undertakes, without war? rant or authority, upon charges he knows to be false, to arrest quiet and peaceable citizens, and when, with blan? dished pistol and oaths, he attempts to frighten inoffensive colored men into making snoh accusations against a re? spectable and honest citizen as will put him within his olatohes, we feel it to bo our duty to hold him up to pnblio scorn and indignation, and to exhibit to the world the character of tho man who in sblcotcd by Mr. Wallace, Deputy United States Marshal for this Stato, to repre? sent him in this County. A few days ago this man Casey, ac? companied by a squad of United States soldiers, rode np to tho residen oe of Capt. David Anderson, one of our most respected and wealthy citizens, residing on North Tyger River, Bevon miles from this place, and informed him that he was arrested for intimidating voters, and ordered him to report in town to tho United State Commissioner. Capt. A. inquired of him - who had made the affidavit for the warrant? Ho ropliod he had made it himself. Capt. A. then in? quired who was to provo it? Ho an? swered by giving tho names of two colored men then in Capt. Anderson's employment. Capt. A., conscious of his innooenco, came to town as ordered, and oh appearing before tho commis? sioner, that officer (who, we believe, has striven to discharge the unpleasant duties of his office honestly and con? scientiously) informed him that he knew nothing of any charges or warrants against him. Casey being summoned, and finding that his rascally soheme, whatever it may have been, had not suc? ceeded, attempted, by a most barefaced and miserable subterfuge, to get out of the scrape, by saying that ho only de? sired Capt. Anderson to come over and pay some revenue tax still standing against him. The facts in regard to tho abuso of colored men are substantially as follows: On tho same day, or near the timo of the visit made to Capt. Anderson, Casey went to the residence of Capt. D. A. Switzer, one of our largest planters and a merchant, residing some fourteen miles frqm town, threatened Capt. S, with arrest for violation of the revenue license law, and upon being informed by Capt. S. that he had paid his license, and that he had his (Casey's) reooipt for the same, he turned off to somo colored men in the employment of Capt. S., and with brandished pistol, cursed and abased thom for not turning informers, and swore that they wero bribed not to give information. It is thus that tho good people of our County are insulted, harassed and tyran? nized over by a man who is either a lu? natic, or what is moro probable, a shame? less and unmitigated knave. We take pleasure in saying, that so far as oar information oxtends, the soldiers who havo accompanied Casey in his peregrinations through the County havo demeaned themselves with propriety, and aie not at all responsible for any? thing he has done or said. [Carolina Spartan. KNIOHTS OF P?THIAS.-Tho next ses? sion of the Supreme Lodge will be held at Neale's Hall, in Baltimore, on Tues? day, April 16. Tho Supremo Lodge is composed of the Fast Grand Chancellors of the several jurisdictions, though, by the action of the body ut its last session, the right to speak and voto is confined to two Supreme Representatives from each Grand Jurisdiction. Tho Knights of Pythias of Maryland have mudo suitable preparations fur the rucoption, and tho subordinate lodges will maku a grand parado iu tho new uniform lately adopted. They will bo joined by delegations from Pennsylva? nia, Virginia, Delaware, tho District of Colombia, and other States. As this will be the first demonstration of tho order, every effort will bo made to render it a success. Tho first lodge of tho Knights of Py? thias was organized iu Washington city, by a gentleman named J. H. Rathbone, on tho 19th of February, 1861. F or u few years, tho prospects of tho order were slow; bat new lodges wero insti? tuted from timo to timo, and in April, 18G8, delegates in a provisional assem? blage formed a Supremo Lodge, which met for the first timo on August ll, 18G8, and became fully organized by tho adoption of a constitution and by-laws and the election of grand officers. The statistics of tho order show a mar? vellous increase in membership and wealth. Thero aro now thirty-uino ju? risdictions, twenty-eight grand lodges, 980 subordinate lodges, and 100,000 members in the United States alono. It has spread i uto every Stato and Territory of our country, oxoept two. Tho whole order is controlled by tho Suprome Lodge of tho world, which has esta? blished branches of the orgnu.zntion or has under consideration applications for such establishment in Canada, tho Sand? wich Islands, Germany, Italy, Spain, Engluud aud Austtalia. Tho delegates from tue order in South Curolina will bc, wo understand, Augus? tina T. Smytho, Esq., and Dr. J.

AN ABTONISHINO EXHIBIT.-Io the de? bate on the army appropriation bill in the Ho a BO of Representa Uvea on Friday, Ur. Beck, of Kentucky, stated ?nd pro? duced the-'Agares in detail which proved that the Quartermaster's Bureau bad expended over $60,000,000. and the Ordnance Bureau over 817,000,000, in excess of th? appropriations made for them by Congress eidce July 1, 1865. The Secretary of War, in answer to the resolution of the House calling for an aooonnt of theso sums, stated that they had been spent "to pay the debts of the varions bureaus," without any attempt whatever to show the expenditure in de? tail or even its obaraoter. The Secreta? ry's statement further shows that the total amount received by the Depart? ment since June 30, 1865, in excess of its appropriations by Congress, was the sum of $107,959,416.62. All of this has been used except $2,000,000. It has been a Btock boast of tho defenders of the Administration to show how the ex? penses of tho army have boen reduoed, and to refer to the congressional appro? priation bills for tho Agares of expendi? ture. The Secretary of War now shows that the aotual expenditures have exceed? ed these appropriations in seven years by nearly 8106,000,000. Not only is there no account whatever rendered to Con? gress of this enormous expenditure, but Mr. Deck proouresevidence which justi? fies him in charging that great sums have gone to agents and lobbyists of the Department and have been paid out in tho Southern States to keep men loyal. Mr. Beck is not a mau who makes charges loosely. Perhaps at some future time tho particulars of these expendi? tures of over $100,000,000 may be fer? reted out for tho instruction of the coun? try.-Ballimore Sun. ANCIENT MASONIC RELIC.-Tho Union Kilwinning Lodge, of this city, origi? nally organized by Scotchmen, has been presented, through Douglas Nisbet, Esq., a brother Masou, with an iron mallet which had been used in the erec? tion of the Abbey of Dundrennau, found? ed in 1142, in the Stowartry of Kirkund bright, Scotland. The valuable memo? rial of the very distant past came from James Cranstoun, P. M. 41 S. G. W. XXL S. R. I. G. W. ; 490 G. L. of Scot? land. A photograph of tho ruins of thu Abboy, which it had aided in erecting, accompanied the mallet; also a note giv? ing its history. The Union Kilwinning Ledge made suitable acknowledgments at a meeting recontly held, and ordered them to be transmitted to Brother Cranstoun, and to tho Grand Lodgn of Scotland. We would take the liborty of suggesting to the lodge owning the precious heirloom, to place it somewhere so that it can bo seen, for it can .but oxcite a deep interest, and not with Masons alone. [Charleston Courier. ?-. ?-. Wo make tho following extract from a communication hy Col. D. Wyatt Aiken, in tho Abbeville Press and Banner: *Tt ia my purpose, during the next six months, to canvass the Stato with a view of awakeniug a more lively interest in the cause of agriculture. If the far? mers, farmers' families and all others directly interested in agriculture will lend mo their ear, and hear my advice, I am vaiu enough to believe I can be the humble instrument of saving them thou? sands of money annually, hereafter. I propose counselling with the citizens of my own County before going into other , parts of tho Stato." Tho danger of extremes is illustrated i hy the jury system. Whilo we are pass? ing laws to remove the hitherto necos I sary ignorance, of tho average juror, Austria is lamenting his over-much knowledge. The minister of justice has brought in a bill t > suspend the whole system, becausa every trial is made a political question, and the jury study the subjeot in that light with preternatu? ral sharpness, and return their verdicts in accordance with their political sym? pathies, and with a lofty disregard for evidence and law.-Chicago Tribune. That's the woy verdicts aro made up in too many of the Federal courts iu this country. DEATH OF OLD SETTLGIIS.-On Tues? day, 2d April, died Jesse Yelverton, ono of tho old settlers of tho Liberty Dis? trict. Mr. Yelverton lived on Boar Swamp, not far from daddy's mill.

In the United States Court, yesterday, bot very little business was transacted, and, in fact, this court appears to have come to a stand-still in consequence of the non-arrival of Judge Bond, who was expected to arrive on Monday night, to preside over the approaching trials of the Ku Klux oases. By a curious con? flict of dates in the law relating to the holding of United States Courts, a term of the United States Circuit Court is ordered to be held at Richmond, Vir? ginia, beginning on the first Monday of April in eaoh year, and a torin of tho United States Circuit Court, presided over by the same Judge, is also ordered to be begun at Charleston, S. C., on the first Monday of April in eaoh year. Under these oircumstances Jud go Bond has the option of which conrt ho shall hold first, and it acorns that he has chosen to begin at Richmond. He ex? pected, however, to be able to complete the most important business before the court at Richmond during the first week of the first term, and then como to Charleston, so an to arrive hereon Mon? day night; hut it appears that ho has been obliged to change this programme, aud tho date of his arrival hero is now a matter of some uncertainty. In the meautime, Judge Bryan, who baa been holding the Circuit Court hero since the 1st instant, has disposed of all tho cases on the docket, with the excep? tion of the Ku Klux cases, and there is now but little for the court to do until tho arrival of the Circuit Judge. Dis? trict Attorney Corbin and his assistant. Mr. Earle, are industriously engaged in preliminary examinations of witnesses, (aud, by tho way, are permitting an in? tolerable nuisance by keeping a crowd of ill-conditioned and ill-mannered negro witnesses waiting on theBide-walk in frout of their ofiice, on Meeting street,) and in preparing their cases for presentation to the grand jury. It is understood that a very largo number of cases arc in preparation, and that most of tho persons said to bo implicated have already been arrested. Among tho counsel who are expected to defend these defendants aro Colonel F. W. MoMaster, of Columbia, and Messrs. Buist k Buist, Pressley, Lord & Ioglesby aud Simontou & Barker, of this city.

The country is iu such a disturbed state now there is nothing doing. The de? puty United States otlicors with troops of Boldiers ure scouting tho country day and night, arresting men everywhere. They aro bringing old mon, Borne of them of eighty and niuety years, some even on crutches, and lodging them in jail. Some of these old mon, I feel satisfied, have not been away from their homes a night for ton or twenty years. Hundreds aro leaving tho country, be? cause no man knows whose tarn may come noxt.

ANTIOCH.-Tho recent destruction of a great portion of this ancient city, by au earthquake, recalls many events in tho distant past, of which, when in its glory, it was tho theatre. Antioch was fouuded oUO years beforo Christ, and was tho first placo in which His followers took tho name of Christiaus. It was ouco a great city, and tho objeot of peculiar solicitude to tho- Apostles. From 100,000 inhabitants, and truly oriental in its magnificence, it lins dwindled down to a small aud insignifi? cant city of 10,0U0, aud its grand temples to tho Most High havo all, without ex? ception, given way for tho mosques of Mahomet. Its inhabitants aro poor, and deal chit Hy in silk, goat's hair and salted eels, which coustituo their only articles of export, aud in no great quantity nt that. Still, tho whole Christian world loves tho "imoof Anti? och from its hallowed associations, and will bo touched with a fueling of real pity for tho great calamity that has fallen upon her. She has often been desolated by earthquakes, which was ono of tho chief causes of her decline. ACCIDENTAL DEATH OF DR. JOHN CUN?
