Ar? tile Democrat? Playing PoaanmT The Grant organs thronghont the country, conscious of their inability to meet squarely the masterly arguments of the liberal Republicans against the de foots and dangers of Grant's rule, have resorted to every base means to belittle and thwart the reform movement-the growing magnitude of whioh is daily ex? citing their increased alarm. The two New York Grant-loving journals-the Times and the Herald-are crammed with personal attacks upon Greeley, Schurz, Trumbull, and, occasionally, other prominent Republicans oonnected with or known to favor the opposition to Grant. To these men who bnt lately were the pride and power of the Repub? lican party, in the eyes of these very journals, tho basest and most selfish motives are attributed. Because their patriotism is not provincial, because they have hearts to feel for the oppres? sion of the South, beoause they lament ?he devastation and ruin whioh recon? struction and hate has wrought, beoause they sse in a genuine reconciliation be? tween the North and South the only hope of a prosperous and permanent Union, because of these noble senti? ments, they are taunted with being rebel sympathizers and friends of trait? ors. They are called sore-heads, office seekers and political gamesters, of the most reckless and unprincipled charac? ter. The thought suggests itself that if it be possible that these things be true; if Lyman Trumbull, Charles Sumner and Horace Greeley, the founders and lead? ing lights of Republicanism, be snob moral monsters, what, in the name of God, most third rate Republicans like Morton and Gonkling, and rte mass of Grant supporters, be? But another equally insidious and underhanded me? thod of frightening honest RepaWioans from joining the effort for Republican reform, appears in their attempt to ox cite a feeling of distrust against the De? mocratic party. It is alleged that the Democrats are only playing, possum; that their passive policy is only adopted in order to foster dissension in the Re? publican ranks; that they have no inten? tion of supporting the nominees of the Republican party that may be made at Oinoinnati, but that when they have suc? ceeded in getting two Republican tickets in the field, they will spring up one of their own and try to run it in. There is some plausibility in this, and, doubtless, many Republicans will be induced, by snob a fear, from openly endorsing the Cincinnati Convention, until at least the subsequent action of the Democraoy convinces them that their fears are groundless. The position of the D?mocratie party so far has been open, manly and above board, and such as utterly to discounte? nance any such base suspicions. The liberal Republicans know preoisely where the Democrats stand, and it is a matter left solely to their choice and discretion whether the new movement shall be so shaped as to command Democratic sup? port. So far we have nothing to object to, but everything to commend, and if the Cincinnati Oonvention acts in ac? cordance with the spirit of the oall that invited its assembly, it will be as oertain of receiving Democratic assistance at the ballot-box as night is to follow day. The Missouri reform movement is cited to show what the course of the Demo? cratic party will be, but the facts are strangely distorted. The liberal Repub? licans in Missouri, it is true, did pre? oisely for that State what tho liberal Re? publicans to meet at Cincinnati expeot to do for the General Government, viz: to purify the. public administration of affairs, and to inaugurate a feeling of friendship and reconciliation between the people of the States, so much di? vided and antagonized by the late civil war. It proved a success ia Missouri, for all must acknowledge that there is now a better state of feeling, and moro quiet, peace, good order and thriving industry in that State than at any time sinco the war. Did the Democrats bo tray the friendly Republicans there? It would not appear so, for if our memory deceive us not, Gratz Brown, tho liboral Republican candidato for Governor, waa eleoted by some 40,000 majority over his Radical competitor. The truth is, it is impossible over to rightly adjust our broken Union through tho instrumen? tality of eitber the Democratic or Radi? cal party. Thoso were the parties that divided tho country just prior to and during the war, and tho animosities en? gendered then eling to these parlies still. The people, on tho one hand, have beon taught to see in the Democratic party the advocates of secession, and disnuion, and slavery. On the other hand, cor tai.: other people have been taught to soc in the Radical party centralism, the dc atruotion of the rights of the States, and hatred towards the South. To bring about a genuine reconstruction of the Union, and to secure the concerted ac? tion of all the conservativo elements, there mast be some middle ground for a rallying point, and this middle ground we expect the liberal Republicanism of Schurz and Trumbull to give ns at Cin? cinnati, as it was given by Gratz Brown and his followers in Missouri. Liberal Republicanism, so far as it has disolosed itself np to this time, may be said to be Republicanism purged of its Radioal hate to the South, and of its tendency to consolidated despotism, and, at the same time, Democracy purged of seces? sion and slavery. It combines what is true in both parties, with the dangerous protuberances of both lopped off. As suoh, it is eminently tho conservative party, and would command, if conducted as ia Missouri-and we believe it will be - a large majority of Democratic votes, even if some hot-heads should determine to put out a strictly Democra? tic nomination. The result of suoh a nomination, even if desirable, in any event, would, as matters now stand, bs to throw the election for President in the House of Representatives, where Grant would be sure of gaining the field; and such a risk, we take it, will not be rashly run, when the conse? quences would bo so ruinous to the country. Trouble In Spain. The irrepressible Carlists are again threatening the peaoo and good order of Spain. Late Madrid despatches report that a general rising of the followers of Don Carlos is momentarily expected. Hing Amadous has certainly not found in his new throne a bed of roses. He expresses his determination to sustain his Government and suppress every at? tempted insurrection, BO long as he it oonvinoed that bis rule is desired by a majority of the people, but seems to be perfectly willing to resign his royal honors, if suoh a course no co rd with thc wishes of his self-made subjects. I'll it profession of deference to the populai will, whether sincere or only pretended, seems to have settled Amadeus mort securely on his throne than any othei line of polioy would probably have done The spectacle of a monarch avowedly holding tho reins of government only In the express request and desire of th? people, is truly a novol ono. Amadeus it would appear, is even more of a demo oratio, or people's ruler, than the Presi dent of the United States. The latte functionary considers himself as right fully holding his seat for the length o his term, however the popular will ma; fluctuate in regard to him. At least, w have never heard of one resigning yet or expressing his willingness to resign Amadeus, on tho other hand, professe his readiness to abdicate at any momeu that ho is assured that his prcsonco is n> longer demanded. Spain seems, like he American offspring, Mexico, to be al dieted with a choice eise of revolutio: and unrest. From the days of the in qnisition to the present time, she hn enjoyed scarcely a day of undisturbe peace, and this constant interuccin civil strife has reduced a mighty uutio that once ranked among tho first powet of Europe to the level of the most iusig nifioant. It is a pity that Spain did nc have some good and free Govern men like the United States to throw the mat tie of protection over her, as the lierai is so continually urgiug Grant to do i the case of Mexioo. A little Cuban prc teotorate, at least, might not bo ami.? for Uncle Sam. ?-???-? A Lani. MR.

How THEY GET KU KLUX WITNESSES. A gentleman of strict veracity, who has lately visited Charleston, sud while there took much interest in the Ku Klux trials now before tho United States Court, informs us of a circumstance which shows up ono of the vile practices resorted to by tho Government officers to obtain negro evidence to implicate white persons as Ku Klux. It appears that a number of colored persons who had been confined in jail as Government witnesses were called up to make their statements, receive their pay and be discharged. One of them, how evere, persisted in saying that be knew nothing about the Ku Klux, and oould give the Government no assistance in tkat respect. He was informed that, as be could not, or would not, tell anything, ho oould not get any pay, consequently the poor fellow was turned loose in Charleston, after being kept iu jail by the United States Government for months, without a dollar ia his pocket, while other witnesses were paid off and sent to their homos, many miles distant, rejoiciug. Ha remniued in Charleston about two days, KU tiering for food and lodging. At the expiration of that timo tho poor follow went forward and im? plicated two persons as being Ku Klux, und was then paid off in full. There is no doubt that groenbacks have more to do in procuring testimony against the citizens of this State than u dosiro to protect "loil" colored citizens from the Ku Klux. Is it any wonder that inno? cent persons fly from tho fear of being arrested from such testimouy? [Unionville Times. FOUL FOOD.-Tho New York Tribune publishes what purports to bc a detailed exposo of the misdoings of provision dealers all ovor that city. Tho names and addresses of the delinquents are given for the better direction of the health authorities. Diseased cattle, it is stated, are slaughtered and sold daily.

It speaks also of tho character of the French war budget, and intimates that it suggests caution on tho part of Germany, and concludes, that if tho re? lations between tho two countries were moro favorable, the occupation of French torritory by German troops would not bo so prolonged. - - - . ?-. - FATATJ ACCIDENT.-Mr. John Ked, a young man from Barnwell County, who has been residing in our town for BOVO ral months-nn industrious, sober and clever young man-was killed by tho cars of tho Charlotte, Columbia and Au? gusta Railroad on Friday night, the 18th iust., near tho junction of thu two rail? roads at Orangeville.

LLOYD TE VIS GETS A JUDGMENT FOB THE ENTIBE CITY OF SACRAMENTO. -She? riff Bryte has been in office but a brief month, yet he has been ordered to per? form a job almost equal to that delegated to Hercules in the little matter of clean? ing out the Augean stablos. He yester? day reoeived a "writ of assistance" from the Fifteenth District Court, San Fran? cisco. Samuel H. Dwindle, Judge, com? manding him to place Lloyd Tevis in possession of-and to eject all persons from-that territory, bounded as follows: Commencing at the junction of the Sac? ramento and American Rivers, following tho East bank of the Sacramento down to Y street; thence along the line of Y street to Thirty-first street; thence along the line of Thirty-first street to tho Ame? rican River; and thence along the South bank of tho American River to the plaoe of beginning; the territory in question comprising tho whole of the city of Sacramento, including tho State capitol, railroad works, agricultural park, ?co., ?fcc. This monster "writ of assistance" is issued in conformity to a judgmont rendered iu the Fifteenth District Court, Juno 24, 1870, in favor of Lloyd Tevis, at the suit of Tevis vs. H. A. Caulfield, Alice Anderson, el al. Tho suits were brought, we believe, upon ono of tho numerous Sutler titles formerly held by Sauudeis as a sort of trustee for Bomobody. It ?H believed not to affect all the land iu the city, hut, under the judgmont and tho writ, Tevis is let looso to take the pick of tho many fat things hereabouts, th? whole of which, according to tho City Assessor, amounts to some $6,O0O,O0U. Sherill' Bryte has sixty days in which to exeouto tim large-sized wrif., but he is somewhat puzzled to kuow how to com? mence operations. The entire forco of his office is less than a dozen meu, aud he does uotvery well understand how he is to get a posse of men here to aid him in driving themselves and families out of their homes. He did think of making a requisition for tho Amador Guhrd, but on second thought concluded that that forco would provo insufficient; aud then, again, it was doubtful if tba Governor would issue tho necessary orders to dis? possess him of his newly fitted-up man? sion and his Adjutant General uf his many lots. Still, tho Sherill feels that the law forces him to act, if ho bursts in thc attempt; and though he is not averse to milk and water measures, ho is dis? posed, in this case, to go the whole length of the legal tether. [Sacramento Record. The now synagogue in Lexington ave? nue is an architectural ornament to New York, which is by no means overstocked with architectural ornament. It is not only a pleasing object in that point of view, but it is pleasing in showing the wealth, tho generosity and the public spirit of the Jews of New York. While the Jews were persecuted throughout Europe and America, the fact that they had no continuing city was so plainly and continually presented to them from without that thoy had no alternativo but to accept it, aud to derive from it the consolatiou of a retu/n to tho homo of their fathers. Even after downright cruelty aud political persecution ceased a petty sociul persecution continued which mado men of Hebrew race and religion feel liku foreigners in every land. Tho erection of such magnificent temples os Emanu-EI and Ahavath Cha? sed shows that in America this feeling has gone, too. Tho notion of a return to Palestino may still bo cherished by Hebrews; but it is not a poeti3 dream, aud not a practical probability. Tho American Jews have come to throw in their lot unreservedly with tho lot of their follow Americans of other races, and to giro themselves an additional stake in tho prosperity of tho nation of which they form a part by erecting on its soil temples of tho Jewish religion as solid, durable and monumental as any of tho Christian churches with which they aro surrounded. \ Xcw Yaric Uerald. A STOLEN WILL.-During tho winter, Mr. Harvey G. Law, a wealthy resident of Brooklyn, E. D., died at his resi? dence, 215 South Ninth Btreet, leaving an estate valued at from ?250,000 to 8300,000. At the time of his doatb, Mr. Law's only daughter was in Europe on a wedding tour. Ou hearing of tho death, tho bridal party returned and took up their residence in the Law man? sion. On Tuesday cveuiug last, at about 7 o'clock, while the nflhctcd family were dining iu tho basement, their colored servant heard a noiso ou the secoud story, and hu went to ascertain tho cause of it. He had no sooner reached tho locality of tho noise, than a person, dressed in tho costumo of the devil-as represeuted on tho stage-presented u pistol to his head. This unexpected de? monstration quite demoralized the poor servant, and he uttered no alarm. The Satauie apparition then descended to tho basement, protruded Lis horns into the dining room, terrifying those nt din? ner.

WHAT A SPLURGE OP HIGH WATER OAK DO FOR COMMERCE.-The St. Louis Democrat, April 6, saya: For a long time past the Ohio River bas been at BO low a stage between Pitts? burg and Cincinnati, that it bas been totally impossible for the coal iloetw of Pittsburg to move down tbe river to Memphis, Vicksburg and New Orlenos, and so ?caroo and dear had coal become in the meantime, that steamers from this port were put under a heavy expense for fuel at points below. During the past ten days the eno^-c cf the Alleghunies have been melting, and a good deal of rain has fallen along the sources of the Ohio, and tb?t river has risen sufficiently to permit the departure of several coal fleets from Pittsburg. Up to yesterday 7,100,000 bushels of coal had departed during the week for down stream points. 7,100, 000 bushels of coal shipped from one port in four days, on a single splurge of high water! This coal weighs 281,000 tons, and wero it to bo transported by a single railway line, ten tons to the car, one year, six months und twenty-three days of time would be required to move it it the rate of hf ty oars per day I What would be the comparative coat? By river an average of four cents per bushel, of eighty pounds, is charged per 1,000 miles, which is just one dollar per toni By rail the charge could not be under sevon dollars per ton per 1,000 miles If a single rise can be of so much benefit to the commeroe of one of the rivers of the Mississippi valley, what wonld result could a uniform Btage of six feetor more bo maintained?
