COLUMBIA:, S. C. Wednesday horning. April 24,1872. Tb* Democracy. The liberal Republican movement bas now assumed the appearance of a tangi? ble creature of real flesh and blood, and of an animated nature withal. That the Cincinnati Convention will meet, that it Will be largely attended by Republicans of acknowledged influence and ability, and that it will be in emphatic opposi? tion to Grant, are questions that now soaroe admit of a shade of doubt. They are about as certain as the foreordained and stereotyped action of the Philadel? phia Convention in the renomination of Grant, which every one feels certain will there be made. But what precise shape the Republican opposition, to Grant will take, and how far they will, in the enun? ciation o? their principles and in the nomination of candidates, defer to the wishes of the Democracy, upon whoBe support they must depend for success, are important points upon which there ia still some doubt. It is manifest that withcut the Democratic vote, the liberal Republicans cannot hope to elect a Pre? sident in opposition to Grant. It is al? most equally olear, on the othur hand, that if the Democrats are foolish enough to make a separate party nomination, and thus put three candidates in the field, that the very result-the rs-eleotion of Grant-which both liberal Republi? cans and Democrats chiefly fear, and are aiming to prevent, will be brought about. The only hope for the country, then, in the eyes of those who see in Grant military centralism, corruption and the final subversion of republican liberty, will be found in a coalition of Democrats and liberal Republicans. As to the necessity of this janoture of forces, there is no diversity of opinion. The entire Democratic press, from the two leading organs-the New York World and the Louisville Courier-Jour? nal-to the lesser lights of Demooraoy throughout the country, agree that to the Oinoinnati Convention we must look for the rectification of the Government and its resoue from the tyrannical grasp of Grant. They pledga themselves with more or less conditional ifs and buts to support Sohurz abd Trumbull in their bold and patriotic, oourso. It is true that no one paper, like no one man or set of mon, can be relied upon as au? thoritatively indicating the sentiments and line of action of the Democratic masses, but where aU agree, it may be safely presumed that this concert is in accordance with the general pulse of the party. The Atlanta Sun, edited by Mr. Stephens, holds fire a li "tlc, as do also one or two other respectable journals. But what Mr. Stephens seems to fear io the proposed coalition is not the coali? tion itself, but that in effecting it the Democratic party may be betrayed inte endorsing principles at variance with its honest and time-honored convictions. There seems to os but little cause foi such apprehensions. There are sui floient of political dogmas upon whiot the true men of all parties can agree sufficient grounds of a common opposi? tion against the usurpations and mili tary encroachments of Grant, and tb? corruptions and extravagance of his ad ministration, to construct a platforn upon which the Democracy may con sistently stand with Sohurz, Trumbul and the other Republican reformers The most reliable indication of the prin oiples which will be inscribed upon tin reform banner are those set forth in th call for the meeting at Cincinnati. The KI are local self-government, amnesty am conciliation to the South, a tariff for re venue only, and a reduction of the ex penses of the General Government. If there is anything here at varianc with Democratic ideas, wo are unable t discover it. They may be Republioai principles, too, but they are none th less Democratic, and all Democrats oa: consistently sustain them. The libers Republicans are fully aware of the ne oessity of securing Demooratio help, an for that reason alone, we think it ma safely be presumed that they will adop no polioy and make no nominations dil tasteful to their expected allies. Tun FBBNOH ARMY.-A French cor respondent says the Government no oontrols an army of 871,000 mon, a ready for service. Of these, 380,0C are regular soldiers, 68,000 reserve and '123,000 Gardes Mobile who ha\ seen service. The artillery, howeve have only 1,900 field pieces, many c them antiquated or useless, and the e: penditure of all material during the wi has been enormous. It is calculate that, exclusive of buildings, tho militai expenditures of the year cannot be le than $20,000,000, a sum within the r sources of Franco, but still extreme large for tho force maintained, and for time of peaco. The full regular streng! Till not be reached for another tv years, wbon it will exceed 500,000 men Th? Beantle? of Protection. The charming way in which protec? tion works ls admirably illustrated by the case of the Canada, Southern and Chicago Railroad Company. To all euch old fogies as still indulge in the stupid fancy that a protective tariff ?B a benefit to the country, we extend the request to reflect upon this pregnant case, and then ask themselves calmly the question whether they have not all their lives been laboring under the vain? est of hallucinations. For the faots we are indebted to a Western ootemporary. This railroad, which is in progress of construction, lies partly in the United States and partly in Canada, and is of nearly equal length in both. The track is to be a double one, and there will bo about 600 miles of railing to be laid in the United States. The weight of rails per mile is estimated at ninety-five gross tons, which for the 500 miles would give 47,500 gross tons. The protective duty on Bteel rails, of which the road is to be built, is $28 per ton in gold. The duty on the 47,500 tons would consequently amount to $1,830,000 in gold, or $1,463, 000 in greenbacks. The portion of the road, therefore, whioh lies in the United States will cost just $1,463,000 more than the same length of road situate in Canada. If this additional oost was a burden simply upon the wealthy rail? road corporation, though still an injus? tice, it might not be a matter of so much grave concern to the people at large. But suoh is not the faot. This addi? tional cost will have to be borne by the people in the way of increased rate of transportation, heavier freightage, &o. The manufacturers of steel rails in the United States are benefited, but it is done at the cost of tho masses, and of every other industry in the land. The injustice of the thing is patent. What right has any Government, that pretends to have the freedom and equality of the people as its ruling prinoiple, to legislate in the interests of a favored few to the detriment and at tho absolute cost of the millions? lt is admitted by all that no instrumentality tends so directly and rapidly to build up a oountry and de? velop its resources as railroads. Their power for these purposes rests in their ability to combine swift with easy and cheap transportation. Every tax upo a the material of whioh railroads are built increases the cost of travel and of freight, and'is, consequently, a direct obstaole to the growth and prosperity of the oountry. Railroads form a branch of industry that deserves the fostering care of the Government as muon as the manu? facture of steel or iron or any other manufactures, and when the artificial support of the one dashes directly-as is shown in the case mentioned above with the other, the ruinous policy of a protective tariff is most clearly por? trayed. IN A BAD FIX.-Tho inhabitants of the Territory of Alaska appear to bo ethno? logical puzzles. According to tho popu? lar belief they aro classed with thc Indian tribes, but tho Secretary of tho Interior decides otherwise, and believes them to be of Asiatic origin-not a satisfactory settlement of their place among nations. They are said to bo proud, treacherous and revengeful; tho older men warlike, and the younger taking naturally to whiskoy and bad behavior. As they number somo 50,000 souls, uro ignorant and degraded, aud tho Secretary of tho Interior doclinos to consider them as coming within tho jurisdiction of his department, philanthropists have u fine field wherein to display their love for their fol low-me n. That tho Alaskans need some attention, seems evident. ?-??-? TUB iNDonsKMENT OF THIEVES.-Where is the carpet-bagger whom Grant hus over disoountenanoed? Whittemoro was ejected from Congress and is allowed to appear as a Grant partisan. Bowen was lodged in a penitentiary and Graut forthwith pardoned him out. Time and again every power of the Executive hus been strained for the support, encourage? ment and approbation of curpot-bag thieves. The debts of tho Southern States have been reported to Congress as somo $289,000,000 in the aggregate, $200,000,000 whereof has acorued under the robbories of tho unutterable scoun? drels whom Grant has so often fa? vored, and on whom he now relies for his Southern support. Our own figures, more accurate than those reported to Congress since oompiled from official re? ports, show the aggregate debt of the ten reconstructed States 3291,626,015, an increase of $215,210,125 under carpet? bag regime, while the entire debt of all the other twenty-seven States is but $203,000,000. Has not Grant approved, maintained, endorsed, condoned, sup? ported, the vile thieves who have done this?-Aew ForA: World. EMIOKATION OF THE BLACKS TO LTUE IIIA.-During the prosont year, 1,787 ap? plications havo boon reooived by tho American Colonization Society from per? sons residing in North and South Curo lina, Georgia, Alabama uud Florida, for tho moans of .-ettlenient in Liberia. Ono of the results of tho civilization of Japan is to leave 10,000 Buddist priests penniless, without employment. PUTTING SOUTH CAROLINA. UNDRB MUT? TABY RULE ON TUB RXPBBBXNTATIONB OF ATTOBNEY - GEN ERAL A KEBMAN .-T be Pr e sident transmitted the following message to the House of Representatives on Fri? day last: To TUE HOUSE OF REPBESENTATTVES : In answer to the r?solution of the House of Representatives of January 25,1 have the honor to submit the following, ac? companied by the report of the Attorney General, to whom the resolution was re? f erred : Representations having been made to me that in certain ' portions of South Carolina ? condition of lawlessness and terror existed, I requested the then At-1 torn ey-General (Akerrnac) to visit the State, and after personal examination to I report to me the facts in relation to the subject. On the 16th of Ootober last, he addressed a communication from South Carolina, in which he stated that in the Counties of Spartanburg, York, Chester, Union, Laurens, Newberry, Fairfield, Lancaster and Chesterfield, there were combinations for the purpose of preventing the free political actions of citizens who were friendly to the Con? stitution and the Government of the United States; and of depriving the emancipated class of the equal protec? tion of thc laws. These combinations embrace, at least two-thirds of the activo white men of those Counties, and have the sympathy and countenance of the majority of the other third. They are connected with similar combinations in other Counties and States, and no doubt are part of a grand system of criminal associations Pervading most of the Souther J States, 'he members ure bound to obedience and secrecy by oaths which they are taught to regard as of higher obligation than the lawful oaths taken before civil magistrates; they are organized sud armed; they effect their objects by per? sonal violence, ofteu extending to mur? der; they terrify wi tu esses; they oontrol juries in the State courts and sometimes in the courts of the United States; sys? tematically spying is one of the means by which prosecutiou of the members is de? feated. From information givon by officers of the State and of the United States, and by credible private citizens, I am justi? fied in affirming that the instances of criminal violence perpetrated by these combinations within the lust twelve months, in the above-named Counties, could be reckoned by thousands. I receivod information of a similar import from various sources, among which wore the joint oommitteo of Con? gress upon Southern outrages, the of? ficers of the State, the military officers of the United States on duty in South Carolina, the United States attorney and marshal and other officers of the Go? vernment, repentant and abjuring mem? bers of thoBe unlawful organizatious, persons specially employed by the de? partment of justice to detect ort mea against the United States, ' and from other credible sources. Moat, if not all, of the information, except that I derived from the Attorney General, came to mo orally, and was to the effect that eaid Counties were under the sway of the powerful combinations popularly known as the Ku Kluv Klan, thu objects of which were, by force and power, to prevent all political action not in accordance with the views of the members, to deprivo colored oitizens of the right to bear arms and of the right to a free ballot, to suppress schools in which colored children were taught, and to reduce the colored people to a condi? tion closely akin to that of slavery; that these combinations were organized and armed, and hud rendered tho local law ineffectual to protect the classes whom they desired to oppress; that they had perpetrated many murders, and hundreds of crimes of minor degree, all of which were unpunished; and that witnesses could not safely testify in courts thero, unless the moro active members were placed under restruiut. (Signed,) U. S. GRANT. EXECUTIVE MANSION, April 19, 1872. The correspondent of the New York World says: It will thus bu aeon that a President of the United States bas descended to ap? pear before the country as the vindictive enemy of a helpless people, aud who, to achieve certain ends of his own, is will? ing to destroy the social as well us pub? lic stauding of thu citizens of a portion of tho country. The intention of this "message" is two-fold; first, to inflame the public mind, and by tho aid of his reckless supporters attempt to create auow tho edd feeling of sectional hatred; and second, to force through thu exhibi? tion of this distorted picture tho passage of the extension of bayonet rule over the South. .It4hus been developed dur? ing tho lust few weeks, that many promi? nent Radicals have repented of placing so great power in the hands of such an indiscreet Chief Magistrate, and are also becoming alarmed at tho fooling which is arising at ttie prospect of forcing tho election of Grant at the point of the bayonet, and in consequence this horri? ble picture is drawn to increase the ill feeling of tho Radical Congressmen, and induce them, while wholly under this fooling, to acquiesce in tho wishes of tho reckless loaders, aud vote to allow the Southern vote to be manipulated by tho army ring in the interests of the Phila? delphia nominee. The mossago was re? ferred to the Committee on the insur? rectionary States. One of Mrs. Lloyd's amusements was laying out aud docking her children for tho grave, before they wero dead. She was a monomaniac on gravo subjects, had little graves all prepared, and, final? ly, it is alleged, furnished them from her owu family. That ia Leesburg gos? sip.

EARTHQUAKES CONSBBVATIVE AB WELL AB DESTRUCTIVE.-? writer in the New York World gives ns some of the benefi? cent effects of earthquakes, thuB: It appears to be scientifically settled that sea-coasts are more liable to earth? quakes than places far inland. And the j reason is.plain. Strange as it may ap? pear to non-suientifio readers, earth? quakes are the great conserving agents I in the struotnro of our earth. Fatal as | they are to man and his works, they ac? tually prevent tho coming of thc reign .of . water. : But for them, the waves beating, . calm or convulsed, on our coasts, would wear down the hardest rook into fine loam, and spread it as a carpet on the bed of the ocean-the ten? dency being to have a reign of geo? graphical equality in which neither hills nor valleys should appear, and which equality would be at the morey of king water. But then the powerful earth? quake stops in, and by sheer force lifts whole chains of mountains out of the bed of the sea-it literally makes the dry land appear. Not only is this con? ception applicable to the appearance of volcanic islands, but to those massive chains of mountains, the Andes in South America, the Cordilleras in Mexico, and the Sierras on our own Pacific slope, which have beeu lifted on several occa? sions several feet. Relatively to the persons near their centres, earthquakes are destructive, but absolutely with re? gard to the earth and men, they are con? servative. A TJ8EFUI1 AIVTICLK.-Ammonia, oras it is geuerally called, spirits of hartshorn, is a powerfnl alkali, and dissolves grease and dirt with great ease. It bas lately been recommended very highly for do? mestic purposes. For washing paint, put a table-spoon ful in a quart of mo? derately hot water, dip in a flannel cloth and then wipe off the wood-work; no scrubbiug wiil be necessary. For taking greasy spots from any fabric, uso the ammonia nearly pure, then lay white blotting paper over tho spot andiron it lightly. lu washing luce, put .about twelve dropa iu a pint of warm suds. To clean silver, mix two tea-spoons-ful of ammonia in a quart of hot suds; put in your silverware and wash, using an old nail brush or tooth-brush for the purpose. For denning hair brushes, &C, simply shako tho brushes up and down iu a mixture of ono tuble-spoou-ful of ammonia to one pint of hot water; when they are cleansed, rinse them in cold water, and stand them iu the wiud or in a hot piuca to dry. For washing finger-marks from looking-glasses or wiudows, put a few drops of ammonia on a moist rag aud make quick work of I it. If you wish your house plants to flourish, put a few drops of the spirits in every pint of water used in watering. A tea-spoon-ful will add much to tho re? freshing effects of the bath. Nothing is better than ammonia water for cleansing the hair. lu every case, rinso off the ammonia with clear water. To which we would only add, that, for removing grease spots, a mixture of equal parts of ammonia and alcohol is better than I alcohol alone; and for taking out the red j stains produced by tho strong acids iu blue aud black clothes, there ia nothing better than ammonia. Another ono of Gen. Grant's friends aud appointees (says the Philadelphia Age) has been indulging in a little Radi? cal financiering. George D. Omer, col? lector of revenue for the Fifth District I of Missouri, has only served two years, and yet his records show that hu is $100,000 behind in paying over Govern? ment money; SJO.OOO per year in addi? tion to his regular pay is good wages for Omer, who is a red hot supporter of Grant for renomination, and denounces Sumner, Trumbull and Schurz as trai? tors and disloyal mon. In all quarters of the country, Goneral Grant's office? holders are stealing the people's money, iu sums from $100 to $500,000. Aud what is done to punish tho guilty parties and protect the Treasury? Nothing. Political influences aro brought to bear upon tho Government; the ability of tho culprits to elect delegates slated, aud there tho matter ends, lu tho ease of Orner this path will be followed, and bo will oujoy his plunder iu peuce. The following appears iu a double leaded form at the bead of tho editorial columns of tho Springfield Republican: "In this freo country of ours, if a mau don't applaud every act of bis party ho is called u sure-head ; if ho dou't knuckle at each crack of tho party whip ho is called a disorgauizor; if he dares to sug? gest that Ibero aro ns good men out of office as in, and that, iu some instances, tho people could bo better represented, ho is called a conspirator. And yet this is a republic in which wo live! How much further willwohavo to go before, instead of simply branding tho inde pendent thinkers aud actors of tho I country with opprobrious epithets and social and political ostracism, wo will adopt tho European courso of actually punishing theso malcontents?"

Passover, as all Hebrew festivals, has a tow-fold signifi? cance, and is also celebrated as a feat of tho resnrreotion of nature from its long winter sleep, and the blessings of God upon mankind, for the ensuing spring and summer are invoked. This is the Hebrew leap year, whioh occurs once in every seven years, to the twelve months there being added "Veadar," making the Hebrew leap year consist of thirteen mouths.
