COLUMBIA.,; ; S? C. ? Saturday Morning, April 13, 1872. The FNgrai of tn? Cincinnati Move? ment. Day by day, os the time appointed for the meeting at Oinoinnati draws nearer, encouraging responses are being made by liberal Republicans in the varions States. There is now no doubt but that a marked preponderance of tho indivi? dual integrity, ability and personal in? fluence of the Republican party is heart? ily in sympathy with the movement for reform. If, indeed, the representative men of a party, the men of intellect and probity, that originate every political party, and direct and control its action ontil, from excess of power, it becomes corrupt, and honorable statesmen are discarded for time-serving politicians and unscrupulous demagogues-if, in other words, thoae who really sustain .the declared principles of a party may be justly considered as forming that party-thea of a surety it may, with truth and propriety, be said that tho genuine Republican party will hold its Convention at Cincinnati. What array is it possible that the GrantiteB can muster at Philadelphia to compare, in point of character and ear? nest patriotism, with Schurz, Trumbull, Greeley, Sumner, Davis, Brown, Cox -and Chose? The most prominent men at Philadelphia will be Butler, Mortou and Conkling, who, to the distinguished men named above, stand, in point of Ability, like pigmies to giants, and in oharaoter, about like Ulysses Grant to the "great and good" Washington. This ia so apparent, it is so unquestiona? bly true, that the intellectual and moral strength of the Republican party dis? favors the re-election of Grant; that the Mew York Herald, the cringing and fawning advooate of Grant, dubs him the people's candidate, as contra dis? tinguished from a party candidate. The "intelligent masses," it says, form a more just eatim?te of a publio man's fitness for position than his political associ?tes, and the masses are satisfied i and pleased with Grant. There is no denying that Grant is extremely popular with the masses; but we take it that the cause of this popular admiration ia directly the reverse of that which the Herald assigns. It is simply beoanse the masses, as a rule, are not intelligent; be? cause they do not know Grant; are not sensible of his selfishness; his nepotism; his ill-oonoealed avarice; his bestiality, and his official incapacity, which has turned against him every honest Repub? lican who has had opportunity to wit? ness his daily exhibition of snob de? testable qualities. To th? masses of the Northern people Grant is only known SB the great chieftain of the Union armies, and, as .snob, they natu? rally admire him, and i are prone to invest him with tho like lovable and magnanimous characteristics that so en? dears the memory of Washington to the hearts of the American people. They are in blissful ignorance, the majority ol the people, of Grant's conduct since hie occupation of the White House. Ab sorbed in their daily business avocations, the "intelligent masses" have paid but little attention to Grant's administra? tion, and consequently know nothing ol him. His popularity is based solelj upon his fortuitous connection with.thc successful termination of the Confede? rate war; but whon the veil shall be up lifted, and the enormities, tho iniqui? ties, the profligacy, the corruption and the oppression of tho South, which have marked the present Administration, shall have been impressed upon thc publio mind; when the halo of mili? tary glory that now olouds the public view of Grant aball have been dispelled and he disclosed to popular guzo, in ul the naked deformity of the loathsome monster that he is; when those wh( know him as he ?B-men of undoubted veracity ?nd patriotic devotion, lik? Schurz, Trumbull and others-shall dc piot him in his true colors, there will bi a revulsion of popular feeling towardi Grant, and the "intelligent masses" wil estimate him aa they should. The bal oommenoed last night, in New York where Trumbull and Sohurz were invitee to address a meeting of liberal Republi oans, at Cooper Iustituto. We expec to hear that a large and enthusiastic nu dionce wore gathered on that occasion and that an impulse will bo given th anti-Grant movement, which, gathering strength as it goes, will, in Novembe next, bari from power the oppressor o oar people. ?-??-?

There will be found iu our advertising columns notice of the sale of a very valu? able tract of land in Bickens Go un ty. The sale will take .place, under order of court, on sales-day (the tiret Monday) in ; May. Besides the intrinsic value of tho I land, the fine improvements upon it, in the way of a commodious dwelling house, ont-bnildings, etc., a fine tan? yard, said to be the best in the State, in successful operation, Sec., there is that in the location of the property whioh should make it a highly desirable ac? quisition. Picken? Cou o ty is probably the most healthful of any portion of the State. The bracing and invigorating mountain air, the high table lands, and the abundance of pare and deliciously o 5 ol water, serves to make thut section a most oharmingsummer resort. Thereis an abundance of game there, too-such aa deer, pheasants, ?o.-and the streams are stocked with a bountiful supply of the mountain trout, than whioh there is nowhere to be fonnd a more delicately flavored lieh. The property, which is known as the Cruikshank tan-yard, is situated on the Air-Line Bailroad, and within easy access of the growing and prosperous town of Greenville, and like? wise of tho thriving village of New Piokeus. This sale offers a fine opportu? nity for some Northern or Western grazier to make an excellent investment. Stock raising, even on tho limited Boile which the native land-owners there are enabled to carry it on, is a most re? munerative business-paying immeasur? ably greater profits, at least, than cotton planting in the lower Counties of the State. There is a plentiful and luxuri? ant growth of grass and other pasturage in the fertile valleys and along the banks of the numerous creeks and brooklets. Frnit-growing, too, is largely engaged io, and pays well. Peaches are growr. there to perfection, and apples from thal section, of the rarest and finest quality, are brought down in wagons to the lo wei and adjoining Counties, and gives em? ployment and support to hundreds o: people. The inhabitants of Piokecs an a quiot, orderly and industrious class and a homicide, or even a violent assaul and battery, are evils but rarely experi enced in that peace-loving community In every way, indeed, Pickens and tin adjoining mountain Counties are tb? moBt delectable localities in the State. ?????-? The Baltimore ?'nu gives an acoonnt o the extensive damage by the wind, rail and lightning, in that city, on Tuesday last, and concludes as follows: The storm had a fearful effeot upoi tho crowds whioh filled the tents of th circos and menagerie at the Belair Mar ket lot. At one time, almost a panii was created among the hundreds of men women and children who were present The rain came in at tba flies and soilei many a bonnet, and drove some of th spectators in the circus tent from thei seats. As the storm roso, tho wind cam driving in, swelling the canvas like huge balloon, fairly lifting it, and threat ening an instantaneous collapse. C course, there was general alarm, but a the rain was coming dowu in perfec sheets, it was bettor to romain than t brave the storm outside. The perform ance, however, continued without intel ruption; but towards the dose, the ea citemont was intense, heightened by th noise of the creaking ropes, the cries c tho women and children hurrying to an fro, the thunder and vivid lightninj and the fearful-looking beasts in thei cages excited by the uuusual commotior. Many persons left before the perfora ance was over, and some hurriedly oref uuder the canvas out into the hine darkness, bewildered by the sudde transition from tho glare aud exoitemet within. Hundreds of people took refng temporarily under tba Belair Markt sheds, nearly all of them more or lot drenched aud uucomfortublc, separate from their companions or children, au anxious only to get home. A WANTON OUTRAGE.-On tho retur of the Ku Klux prisoners from tl Uuited States Court to the House i Correction, at the adjournment of tl court yesterday morniug, a disgracer sceno occurred which should bo car fully guarded uguiust in thu future, i much for the sake of the peace and cr dit of the city as for the sake of tho pt Gonors themselves. The prisoners we followed all the way up Broad street I a crowd of colored men and women, g thoriiig accessions from every group loungers assembled on tho streets, at all hooting,yelling, and hurling till ma nor of obscene and abusive epithets upc the unfortunate prisoners. The sun guard of deputy marshals in charge the party tnudo no attempt to reprc these unseemly demonstrations, a-) perhaps, would have been powerless do so if they had been inolined; b surely some efficient means should I taken by the proper authorities, eitb oity or Federal, to prevent a rcpetitit of an occurroDoo whioh is at once a sei otis auuoyance to all respectable perso; upon the streets, and a wanton insult men who, whatever have been their c foncoe, are now firmly within tho clutch of tho law, and likely to receive at leo their full measure of punishment. [Charleston News, 12th. At an election, last Mond, y, in lidg field, tho following town officers wo chosen: Intendant-John Woolie Wardous-A A. Clisby, J. C. Sheppa and J. L. Addison. Tho Hell-Gate Improvement?. The work of removing the obstruc? tions at Hell-Gate, whioli was begun about two y oar a ago, has been vigoro UBIJ ?arriad forward with bat trifling inter* rnptiou, and will, it ia now estimated, be oom ploted within a year and a half. 165,000 cu bio yards of rook were to? be removed from the river, and of thia amount at least 42,000 oubio yards have already been taken out, About 240men are now employed in the work, nearly all of whom are Cornish miners of long experience. A mnoh larger number were i innerly employed, but the introduction of the diamond drill and the increased use of. machinery iu all branches of the labor bas permitted a great reduction of the working force. A hundred of the workmeu were recently discharged. The immenae bed of rook is now per? forated by sixteen tunnols aud seven coucoutrio galleries, the floor line of which is thirty-two feet below tho level of the river at mean low tide. It was originally designed to make the channel but twenty-five feet in depth, but subse? quently it waa determined to render it perleotly safe for vessels of tho largest draught. The average height of the tunnels and galleries is twenty-two feet, and their width sixteoath, leaving a roof from seven to teu feet thick, supported by numerous pillars. The length of the extreme gallery is GOO feet, and of the grand tunnel 212 }A feet. There will ul? timately bo twenty eight tunnel head? ings, somo of which will extend 375 feet. The work of boring is done wholly by machinery, tho laborers serving only to trim and dress tho rock after the rougher work has been executed, and to perform the operations conueoted with blasting. Of the six drills used, two aro diamond pointed drills und four Burleigh steel percussion drills. Tho diamond drill is the invention of Rodolphe Leschot, u French engineer, und was first used iu thu construction of the Mout Cenis tun? nel, but is now worked by improved ma? chinery under American patents. The two used at Hell Gate wore introduced last October, and have proved so satis? factory that three moro will be added iu a few weeks. This drill consists of a hollow diso an iuch and-a-half iu diame? ter, the rim of which is studded with twelve bits of black carbon. Attached to an iron pipe of the same thickness, it is propelled by compressed air at a pres? sure of six pounds per square inch, aud outs its way through the hardest rock with marvellous rapidity. The motion is rotary and the number of revolution!! 750 per minute. Unlike percussion drills, it receives no wear except from friction, and hence isoonstautly in work? ing order, and needs no sharpening. Forty-four feet and four inohes have been tunneled by this drill in eight hours, through a mass of granite und quartz. By screwing on additional pieces of pipe it can be propelled in one direction to an indefinito extent, but foi blasting purposes it is seldom driver further than fifteen feet. Occasionally, however, through tho intervention of t new process in blasting, it is expedien? to continue a tunnel of this charade.] for a long distance, thereby effecting i great saving of time. Saud or clay ii then rammed into the boro until it ii nearly full, to act as a recoil block to th< charge, and tho rock is blusted sectioi by section. All the blasting ut Hell Gate is dom by nitro-glycerine, and has been so care fully managed that not au accident hu yet occurred. The nitro-glycerine ii mado into cartridges from eight to fif toon inohes in diamoter, and boldiuj from four to eight ounce's. They an coated with a glutinous oompositioi which effectually protects them fron water. When a blast is made, a littli tube of fulminate is attached to tin cartridge aud a spark transmitted to i through a wire couneoting with an eleu trie battery. Though n largo number o cartridges aro often discharged in sue cession with great rapidity, they an never fired at once, as tho vibration ii this case might seriously jar the stom roof, opeuiog scams for tho admission o the water. The explosions uro of tremondoin foroe, shattering the rock into fragment of a size conven ion t for removal. Then are piled on cars drawn by mules, run nitig ou iron tracks, which are laid ii all the tunnels, and convoyed to tb shaft, whore they uro hoisted up by steam derrick. Tho masses airead, taken out form two immense embank monts on tho river front. A bnilding near the mouth of th shaft coutains threo large steam boiler and five compressors, tho latter furnish ing tho motivo power for the drills. I working tho compressors, lubricating oi is now used iustead of water, thereb avoiding tho formation of icu in th pipes during tho cold weather. Near 1> is n powerful steam pump, which drain all thc tunnels comparatively dry throug pipes radiating from ita baso. Bcforo blasting it is necessary to us great care in ascertaining tho line of rt sistauce and quality of tho rock, 'MC is chiefly composed of granite, quart and gneiss. The strata embrace a ?i M variety of minerais, however, mcludinp besides various metallic deposits, veit of decomposed feldspar that aro ns so: as day. Tho testing is dono with th diamond drill, which in two iustuuet struck sand and water after borin twenty-eight and thirty-four foot ri spootivoly, rendering it necessary t abandon blasting in that direction, au to have tho bores tightly plugged iq In opening tuunol heading No. 3, a sei tion of rook was struck BO full of sean that tho water poured through tho roc. at the rate of 600 gallons per minuti This was effectually remedied by coi strncting a massive schilt of timbo oakum and Roman cement, fourtee feet in length by twelve in width. The work is oarriod forward almo constantly night and day, tho mon boin divided into gangs which relievo cac other nt regular intervals. It is execute under tho supervision of Major-Genen John Newton, of the United States eng peer corpa, who planned it from the be Sinning. The superintendent in immo? late charge is G. 0. Beitheimer. an en? gineer of wide experience in varions countries, who bas devoted himself especially to work of this kind. When the rook is at length completely honeycombed, and nothing remains but the roof, its supporting pillars and the outer walls, it will be mined with 7,000 pounds of nitro-glycerine, which is equal in explosivo power to 70,000 pounds of gunpowder. All the oharges will be connected by wires with au elec? tric battery in the office of tho superin? tendent, when, at a given signal, it is confidently ezpooted that the whole vast mass will be blown iuto atoms, which will be ?utirnly removed fiom tho bed of tho river.-New York Evening Post. CONSEQUENCES OF THE LATE RAID.-As ooo of the effects of the late raid into our County, wo have beard of an in? stance, so less true than amusing, of a citizen actually plowing with a saddle OJ his horse, and the fence thrown down in several places, ready ut any moment to cut and run. While this may bo fanny, to tho raiders, nud cveu laughable to us, it is nevertheless a premonition of death to tho country. Nor is it sur? prising that citizens should stund thus ready to decamp, when indiscriminate arrests have been made-without war? rants, aud ou the most flimsy aud uure liablti testimony-ou tho mere affidavit of a negro who bas been absent from tho County siue.n 180'J, aud not here at the time tho alleged violence was com? mitted; warrants changed by deputies to serve their purposes, irotn one name to another, and unsuspecting persons, con? scious of their own innocence, seized aud summarily thrown into prison. Does Chief Marshal Wallace sanction such conduct m his deputies? Surely not. Is there uo redress-is there no help for a people thus persecuted aud oppressed? O t?mpora! 0 mores! It is confidently believed that not le?s thuu 500 citizens Lave fled thu County, aud possibly tho State. Our agricultu? ral interests are desperately sufferiug, and if the present procedure in arrest? ing does uot cease at once, we aro a ruined people. Just think of it-500 plows, at this season of tho year, stopped aud rusting iu the mold! Who are to make bread for the women aud children? how aro they to live, if the meu, their natural protectors, are nil driven away? And bow, too, aro the negroes to subsist without the aid of the white man, dependent, as they aro, upon the land owner for soil to work, stock, implements, indeed, everything with which to carry on a farm? Without the fruits of the earth, we must all perish, and it follows, us a matter of course, that as the white suffers, so must the ne? gro. What posBible advantage, then, oan accrue to our oppressors by this oppression? Do they seek utter annihi? lation-our utter destruction, full, final and complete? It really seems so. Whoever may he responsible for vio? lence, let the guilty oues be caught and punished us their crimes may require; but must tho innocent atone for the guilty? must whole communities bo sus? pected aud made to suffer for tho mis? deeds of a few? Such theory and such practice is ubsurd in au eulightenod ago, and suited only for the darkest ages of tho world.-Laurenscille Herald. TUE KU KLUX TRIALS-SECOND DAY. At 10 o'clock yesterday morning the, United States Court resumed tho trial of the Ku Klux cuses. The oourt room was packed with an audience composed almost entirely of colored people, who evinced tho deepest interest in tho pro? ceedings.
