COLUMBIA, S. C. Sunday xLorning. April 21,1872. The Two Meeting!. The great success of the liberal Re? publican meeting, held at Cooper Insti? tute, far exceeded general expectation. The numbers present, but more espe? cially the rousing enthusiasm and hearty sympathy with- which the speakers Sohnrz and Trumbull were greeted, gave at once an impulse and encouragement to the reform movement that has quick? ened its young life in every part of the Union. There are features, however, in the late Grant meeting, held at the same place, on Wednesday last, that, perhaps, give more unmistakable evi? dence of the hold whioh the liberalism of the ooaree of Sohnrz, Trumbull and Greeley bas taken apon the popular heart, and *>f the growing disapproval of Grant's administration, than did the previons liberal meeting. Tim Grant assembly was gotten np manifestly with A view to dampen the ardor whioh the .brilliant success of the anti-Grant m cut? ing had created with the opposition. "Tho idea was to have such an overpower? ing demonstration in Grant's favor as to throw completely in the shade the effort -of the opposition. It was reasonable to suppose that this could he done. The reception of Schurz and Trumbull was a spontaneous affair. There was no pre? vious organization; no combination of wealthy offloe-holders to furnish the '-usual adjuncts and paraphernalia that tend so much to give eclat and enthusi? asm to large political gatherings; no ?ring of cannon; no wholesale use of 'the post office to send special invitation. 4o nearly every citizen of New York. Yet what was the result? Though every means and appliance known . to political * strategy, to stir up the people, was used by the Granites, it is plain to,every one, who will read the proceedings of the two meetings, that the last was a mani? fest failure, when viewed sido by side with the .former, and when it is remem? bered, too, that it was intended to com? pletely overshadow it. In point of numbers, there waa but little difference, perhaps. The immense hall was filled to its uttermost capacity on both ocoosiops. But the orowd was mnoh slower in collecting at. the last meeting. There was not the eager rush for Beats as on the Friday before; and in point of interest and enthusiasm, there was a marked difference in favor of the audience that appeared before Sohurz and Trumbull. But that whioh, more than anything else, ia gratifying and oheering to tho opposition, in this Grant meeting, and must be correspondingly foll of alarm and chagrin to the Grant ites, is the manner in whioh the attacks upon Trumbull and Greeley were re? ceived. Instead of hisses, as was ex? pected, when their names were men? tioned, loud and long-continued cheers were given-showing that a large part of the meetiug bud not attended from sym? pathy with Grant, but were only present from curiosity, while their oonviotionB were entirely on the side of the opposi? tion. WHAT DOES ir MEAN?-Acoonuts from Florida state that the United States Marshal is looking out for Reed and Secretary of State Gibbs, who adheres to Reed's fortunes, with the view of ar? resting them. By what authority do Federal offioers iuterfere in this matter? By whose instruotiou does the United States Marshal for Florida li J in wait for parties olaiming to be officers of a sove? reign State? We would be glad to hear an answer to these questions from Wash? ington. Grant has no more legal power to interfere with this State controversy than he has to say whether Thiers shall be President or Napoleon Emperor of France. It is none of his business, and this usurpation on the part of his offi? cials should be resisted at every cost. We are not in the midst of war that tho President should enter a State and give direotions to its local affairs. The con? troversy, in this case, belongs exclusive? ly to Florida, and eau be settled legally only by her own courts and people. AN ANOMALOUS KKTUBTJO.- Franco at present is in rather an anomalous posi? tion. With the name ff a republic, she has, nevertheless, all the attributes of a monarchy. Princes, dukes, counts and other titled personages abound, and orders and ribbons are bestowed with the same lavish prodigality whioh marked the Napoleonio dynasty. Theirs him? self aooeptod only a few days since the insignia of the Spanish order of the Golden Fleeoe from Amadeus.

They have had four months of wiuter in Canada, and have snow enough on hand to make anothor month. Tlie Facta. There appeared io the Union, of yes? terday, a Bonrriloas uard from W. J. Etter, the City Clerk, purporting to have been called forth by our article of Sun? day's issue, headed "Our City Finances." With such a low, disreputable oharaoter as the author of that oard, we will not stoop to bandy filthy words; but, lest some may be deceived by his denial of having made the statements with regard to the income and expenditures of the city, as alleged by us, we havo takeu the trouble to get the written testimony of one who heard it. We give below a statement from Mr. W. K. Baohman in regard to the matter. Ho is a gentleman of whose oharaoter and reliability we need not speak. There is no one in whom this community has greater confi? dence. Our facts being thus substan? tiated, the City Clerk may draw his own inferences. If they make him out a thief, os he complains, the fault lies with him. We bad not supposed that he got it all. But that is a question of which, of course, be is better informed than we. What isa matter of pablio concern, how? ever, and what is now very manifest, is, that a large Bum of surplus money-in round numbers, $130,000, more or less found its way into the City Treasury last year, for tho disbursement of which no aooount has been given, nor oan any be conjectured, consistent with truth and honesty: I hereby certify that I was present on the occasion when Mr. Etter, Clerk of Council, made a statement to the Com? mittee of Ways and Means of the House of Bopresentativea as to the income and expenses of the oity of Columbia. My recollection is that Mr. Etter placed the taxable property at $5,000,000, yielding, say $50,000, and the inoome from licenses of all kinds at about $50,000 more. I understood Mr. Etter to place the income of the oity at about $100,000. The expenses were: Ordinary expenses of city government $35,000; interest on bonded debt $27,000; leaving a balance, after paying off expenses, of about $40,000, in round numbers. WM. K. BACHMAN. The people of New Jersey havo loug been regarded as an economical race, bnt it would appear that they have been under-estimated. At the last adjourn? ment of the HOUBO of Assembly, the members not only carried off all the portable property in the ball, but took the handsome ink-stands from the desks. These ink-stands were fastened to the doaks in the most substantial manner by screws, but rapacious members, in their greed for plunder, wrenched them off in the most brazen manner, in the full light of mid-day, and under tho eyes of gulle ries full of shocked and disgusted spec tators. Besides this, tho library WOE more or less despoiled, and all tb( towels, thermometers and everything else, not too firmly fixed to bo dis plaoed, was carried off. Wu take this ai no reflection upon tho good people o New Jersey, but as a substantial evi dence of the decadence of politics. Even year, representatives seem to be selectee from a lower communal class, and whei we reflect that not only ha J prize fighters been elected to Congress, bu that during a late session, ono membe was convioted of bigamy, and ono triei for forgery, we may well be alarmed fo the durability of representative govern ment. TUE GREAT ARGUMENT.-The greu point in the Presidential contest witl the Grants organ is, thut ull who oppos their candidate sympathize with th? South. Tho question as to whether th points of argumout arc sound and pi triotio, is uot discussed, or even so rnuc os thought of. It is a crime to argu with the Southern people in anything and any man or proposition must b oondomned should they meet with favt in Southern ey^s. We doubt if it wi be long beforo this samo administrate orew will recommend rejection of tl: Saviour of mankind beoanse Ho ia wo shipped at the South. It will be quit as reasonable as somo of tho polishe morality they have laid doim for tl government of tho oountry. How lon will the people of the United Stab keep alive and sustain a political factic that relies solely upon hatred betwec the people of the two sections for i continued existence? -?-#??-. LICENSE LAW.-The following gentl men have been appointed u lit)unco coi mitteo under the resolution adopted I the recent public meeting in Charlesto to receive and collect funds from tl oitizens and corporations for tho purpo of judicially testing the validity of tl licenso Act: James H.

Secretary of State Cardozo faroiahe? the Union With the following aooonnt'of bia rocont troubles on the railroad in Atlanta, Georgia: I desire to make a few statements in your paper, about the manner in whioh I was treated at Atlanta, Georgia, last night, while returning borne from the National Colored Convention, at New Orleans. Messrs. Pansier, McKinley, Frost and myself left Charleston on Friday morn? ing, the 5th inst., to attend the Conven? tion ut Now Orleans, as delegatos from South Carolina. When we arrived nt Augusta, and were about to start for At? lanta, we went into-, the sleeping oar to engage berths for tho night. The con? ductor retuned to accommodate us. I then showed kim a letter from Mr. Full man, the President of tho Pulaoo" Car Company, which has the monopoly of that business, I behove. That letter was one of tho terms of tho following compromise, proposed by Mr. Pullman to mo last January, and accept? ed by me, and was obtained under tho following circumstances: I WOB ejected from one of Mr. Pull? man's sleeping cars last June, and in? stantly brought suit ugaiust him for $5,000. He requested au interview, and proposed the following terms UH U com? promise: FirBt. Ho should is ;uo a general order to all his conductors throughout tho United States to make no objection to any man on account of his color. Second. Ho should give me a letter permitting me to ride at any time on tho carno terms as others, should conductors object. Third. He should pay all legal ex? penses incurred by me, thus far. I accepted Mr. Pullman's terms, as my object was my rights and the rights of colored men, and not his money. When the conductor refused us per? mission to remain in tho sleeping car, and I handed him the lotter referred to above, I asked him if ho had not received any "general order," as Mr. Pullman had agreed. He said he hud not. After reading my letter, he told me I could stay, but my three friends must leave. I told him I would keep with my friends, whether they decided to go or stay. They refused to leave. The conductor ordered the porter not to make up our beda, and the intended sleeping car was not different to us from a wuking car. Soma time after, during tho night, the conductor asked mo to show bim my letter once more. I suspected some? thing wrong, and asked him what he wanted with it again. He said that there was a director of the Georgia State Road on board of his train, who threat? ened to have bim dismissed the next morning at Atlanta, and he wished to show the letter to Mr. Pullman's agent, to protect himself. I immediately hand? ed him the letter, requesting him to scud it to ma at New Orleans the next day. He never sent it; at any rate, it never reached mo. On our return from Now Orleans, my friends and I parted; they returned im? mediately homo after the Convention adjourned, and I remained a day or two behind to visit some friends. The> passed through Atlanta on Wednesday night, and went right into tho smoking car. I arrived in Atlanta yesterday af? ternoon, and went to tho cars ut 8 o'clock. I was entirely alone. I imme? diately went to the sleeping car to ob? tain u berth, which was promptly and positively denied me. I then asked the conductor, (who was a diff?rent person from tho ono that took us down,) if he had my letter? Ho said ho did. not. I then asked bira if ho had heard of it, and our passing through a fortnight pre? viously? "1 have, indeed," he Baid. "Do I understand that you refuso me accommodations?" I asked him. "I do," ho replied. 1 then said: "Mr. Conductor, you have the power to keep mo out, but I have tho right to go in. Tho door is locked and you have the key, aud aro master of the situation; but I protest against your treatment, and givo you notice that I will renew my suit against Mr. Pullman on account of your treatment, und I will not accept uuy compromise this time." 1 thou attempted to go iuto the regu? lar first class day-car. Tho doors wort locked, and tho conductor politely in? formed me that colored persons were not allowed to ride in those cars-that ] must go into the smoking-car. Ho ex? pressed sympathy for me, but said his orders were imperativo. I thanked him for his sympathy, and told him I had nc failt to find with his treatment; that 1 knew bo was simply an executive officer, currying out the orders of his employers, the directors; but I informed bim also, at the samo time, that I remained out under protest, and would seok my re dress from the courts, if colored mer could got any jastico nt tho bands of the Democrats in Georgia. At this point, about ton or twolvo white men guthorec around the platform where tho conducto) aud I wore quietly and politely speaking as I have related. A young white mai then carno up on the platform to me ant asked me if I was Cardozo, the Secretary of ?State of Sonth Carolina. I told bia I was. He then took me by the arm ant uttompted to drag me oil tho platforn amongst the crowd, saying he wished tc seo mo.. The thought instantly floshet through my mind that this person mean mischief, and that thoro were those it the crowd who meant to help him. I therefore, released myself and refused to leavo the platform, and stepped back ward into the smoking-car. He pursuec me there, and after using tho most abu sive and threatening language, ho drev off to strike mo. The conductor thei interfered and protected me, and ejectet this person from the car. I am perfectly satisfied in my owi mind that this wus n dolibcrato cou spirnoy to assault me and murder mo. if resisted. I certainly would havo boei murdered, for I would rather have diei on the spot than tamely submit to sue! an uucallcd for and unprovoked assault Tue timely interference of the con? ductor, ana hi? starting his train imme? diately, I believe, saved my life. Now, Mr. Editor, the simple foots need no words of comment from me; they teach their own lesson. It is a spe? cimen of the boasted freedom and pro? tection the Deco o oratio party of Georgia give the colored man; and yet the Demo? crats tell us they are our best friends. God save ns from HU ch friends 1 I do earnestly bone and pray that my right hand may lose its cunning, and my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth, before I should ever use them to give such men power, in either our State or National Government, and I think in BO determining, I speak the sentiments of intelligent and leading colored meu. Yours, truly, JA L. CARDOZO, Secretary of State, South Caroliua. BRIGANDAGE IN EOROPE.-With tho disappearance of the diligence, and the introduction of the 6team engine, travel in Southern Europe, it WUB feared, would loso all tho romantic excitement of a well reguluted brigandage. But tho appre? hension seems to have beon unfounded. Tho Spanish bnndit, ul least, is adapting himself to tho now order of things with an*ilacrily surprising in that most con? servative of lands. He thinks no more of stopping a railway train than ho would in olden times of making u stage? coach stand and deliver. Within a month or so ono or two trains have been so Btoppod, and plundered, almost in sight of Madrid. So thore is balm yet in Gilead for tho wondering lovers of romanee. Presently we shall have Capt. Kidd turning up again, and running off with n mail steamer, after making nil the passengers walk the plank. ASTONISHED ATTORNEYS.-A few days since, the Southern Claims Commission examined tho cuso of Christopher Ger? hardt, of Bichmond, Va., who claimed nearly ?14,01)0. Tho claimant, in euer getio terms, testified to his devotion to the Union from first to last, aud dis? claimed any sympathy toward tho Con? federate Government. This was all very well, aud his attorneys felt sure of their case. Their astonishment, then, was profound, whoa the other sido produced u sworn statement addressed by their client to the Confederate Secretary of War in 1861, iu which ho applied for the discharge of his son from the Virginia volunteers, ou tho ground that ho could be of more sorvico to tho Southern causo by aiding his father to fill a contract for the manufacture of swords and cartridge boxes. This, as a matter of course, was unanswerable, and the disgusted lawyers at once bundled up their papers and left Gerhardt to his fate. A TniRTT VOTE VICTORY.-The New York Express soys Connecticut elects Jewell, not by 2,000 or 1,500, ivs stated ou Tuesday, nor by 500, but by a paltry majority of some thirty rotes in a poll of over 03,000. Tho Legislature is Re? publican simply because the State was gerrymandered in favor of the s;mull towns, and without the least respectJor popular right or fair play. Wo see' by this voto how easy it would bo for a full Democratic voto to have defeated Go? vernor Jewell at thu ballot-box, and how perfectly easy the oleotion could have been thrown into tho Legislature, us last year. Without enormous Federal patronage, the Republican party could not possibly hold their own, either in New Hampshire or Connecticut. TORNADO ON STEELE CREEK.-We learn that on Wednesday afternoon last, quite a destructivo toruado passed over this Beotion of tho County, doing considera? ble damage to houses, fences aud the fruit trees aud trees of the forest. All the buildings of Mr. Steven Gallant were unroofed, aud the buildings of Mr. Cro well were badly injured. Mr. Grier sus? tained considerable loss in tho way of scattered fences and uptorn fruit trees. We did not learn tho estimated damage sustained iu the neighborhood, but learn that it was considerable No person hurt, nr. wo heurd of. 1 Charlotte Observer. A very good and characteristic story is told of a Uostou lady who obtained an introduction to the Popo. Etiquette requires that the party thus ho? nored should bow low upon bended "knees when his-Holiness appears. Evi? dently, our New England friend was ignorant of or ignored tho custom, for she walked bravely up to Pius IX, grasped him by tho hand and said, "My dear sir, I'm delighted to soe you; how do you do?" "American!" muttered his Holiness, as ho slightly inclined his vene? rable heud aud moved toward a group of Italian ladies assembled in tho centro of the salon. The despairing editor of a Petersburg (Va.) paper makes tho following wail: "A man from Maino has our post office, a Vermout mau represents us in Con? gress, a fellow from Pennsylvania is our street commissioner, our commissioner of revenue is a Massachusetts man, a fellow from Philadelphia is jailor, tho chief of police is a Pennsylvanian, two negroes represent us in tho Legislature, a Maine manropesents us iu the Senate. " A colored woman weighing 900 ponnds was buried iu St. Louis the other day. For eighteen mouths previous to her death, she was so fat that she could not walk. No hearse largo enough to hold her could bo found, and a big wagon conveyed hor to the grave, whioh looked moro liko a cellar than a place of inter? ment for u human body.

Tho rule is not oulj gi ven but the reason of the rulo also, sc that parlies using it may bo thoroughly satisfied of its correctness.

We are informed that the company re? ceived an addition of twenty-five to their membership, and that they are now pact and paroel of tbe fire department of Co? lombia, ready for any unfortunate occa? sion that might demand their services. We are gratified at being able to make tbis announcement, and hope that the organization will soon number as many members on its roll as any other com? pany in tho department.

DIED SUDDENLY OE HEART DISEASE.-How common is Ibo announcement. Thousands aro suddenly awept into eternity by thin fatal malady. This disease generally has itt ori? gin in impure blood, Oiled with irritating, poisonous materials, which, circulating through tho heart, irritato its dolioate tis? sues. Though tho irritation may at first be ouly alight, producing a little palpitation or irrogular action, yet, by-aud-by, tho disease becomes firmly seated, and inflammation or hypertrophy, or thickening of the lining uiembrauo, or of the valves, is produced. How wise to give early attention to a case of this kind. Unnatural throbbing or pain in tho region of the heurt ehonld admonish ono that all ie not right, and if you would pre? serve it from further disease, you must help it to boat rightly by tho OHO of such a remedy aB shall remove the cause of tho trouble.

April 17 }3 MARINO rr PAY.-The Judioiary Com mitteo of tho United States Houso of Representatives have decided to report a bill "suspending the limitation of fees governing the Marshals of United States Courts in the case of Col. Louis E. Johnson, and to allow him all the fees earned during 'the ooutiunanco of the Ku Klux trials in South Carolina." The significance of this action lies in the fact tbat the foes whioh Mr. Johnson may rolain are limited to $6,000 a year, and tho suspension of the limitation will givo him $20,000 or moro. A?simiJar suspension will, we suppose, be asked for by Maj. Corbin and Marshal Wallace. 11 Charleston ivetcs.
