COLUMBIA. S. C. Taesday ?orniue, April SO, 1872. For tile Northern People. The legitimate and logioal results of Grantism and its effects upon govern? ment, are most clearly exhibited in this State, where it bas had i full and unim? peded sway. Under carpet bag rule, fostered, encouraged and sustained by Grant, even to the extent of employing the military arm of the Government for that purpoBO, the publio debt of the State has been increased over twelve mil million five hundred thousand dollars in less than four years, and there is not a single publio improvement, nor a considera? tion of any nature whatsoever, to show for it. The accumulated publio debt for near a century before, and up to the time that Grantism took control of the State, was $5,000,000, for every dollar of which the State had received an ample consideration, in the way of publio im? provements, &o. The rate of taxation, np to 1860, was less than $1.50 on the $1,000, according to the real valuation of property. This year, Grantism, as car? ried to full fruition under carpet-bag henchmen, will spring the rate of taxa? tion to upwards of $30 per $1,000, or between three and four cent. Before tho war, less than $500,000 was collected from taxes to defray the ex? penses of the State Government for a year. This year, there will ba collected $5,000,000- perhaps more; certainly but very little less. This is done, too, on less than two-fifths of the amount of property from whioh the $500,000 befoie the war was received. Though a tax of $1,800,000 has been collected since the 1st of November last, there is said to be not a dollar in the Treasury to-day. The pnblio schools are being suspended for want of funde, though they are but very few in number. The Superintendent of the Lunatic Asylum has been obliged to borrow money on his individual credit, to keep the pauper lunatics from starva? tion; and now that he has exhausted his private means, announces that the insti? tution mnst Boon cease operations, and the poor lunatics be turned loose upon the oommunity, be transferred to their respective Counties, where there is no preparation or accommodation for them, except the common jail, or else they will be starved to death iu tho asylum. The Superintendent of the Penitentiary re? ports the same alarming condition of the institution over which he presides. Not a dollar oan be got from the Treasury foi its support. There is, consequently, nc way to provide for the feeding, olothing or guarding of the murderers and othei convicts therein confined, and they are now actually advertised by the Superin? tendent to be farmed out to any surf] persons as may desire their labor anc will pay the most money for it. While this is the wretched and alarm iDg oondition of pnblio institutions State officials who, when they first en tered upon their public career, undei and by means of Grautism, were penni less adventurers, many of them nnabb to buy even a decent suit of olothes, an now rolling in wealth and revelling ii the lap of luxury. Princely mansions costly diamonds, gaudy equipages, am all tho insignia of hastily and ill-got toi wealth are theirs-and they boast o their infamy no less than their millions During the sessions of the General As sembly, the mest groBB and revoltinj bribery is practiced, and not a day passe that soma member does not openl, charge it upon his associates, and is rc plied to not by indignant denial and vin dication, but by counter-charges of th same disgraceful and disgusting nature No pnblio measure, however proper au worthy it may be, can pass through th Legislature unless oorrnpt means be cm ployed. So glaring is this fact, that eve R. K. Soott, the Governor, onoo stated under oath, in a rash moment of vir ta oas indignation, that "if our Sau iou himself were upon earth, and were broagl np before the Legislature for trial, h wonld again be crucified, unless he wool consent to gratify the unholy avarice < his judges." This is but a partial picture of tb monstrous evils whioh spring from thi polioy of hate, of interference in tl local affairs of States, of avaricioi greed, and of a general disregard t constitutional restraints, which hi characterized the administration i Grant, and in the line of whioh he wi continue to follow if ro-olected. Wb is to becomo of South Carolina, ai other States in the same situation herself, if this state of things is ke np? Can any rational mau, liowev sanguine may bo bis temperamcni, s ought but utter impoverishment ai devastation in store for her? To soch Northern men UB honest fought for tho preservation of tho Uniu it is a pertinent inquiry to ask, whoth it would not have been .is well to alli Sooth Carolina to secede, as to have her completely impoverished in tho Union? The one is as muoh a loss to the United States Government as tho other would have been. One thing is certain, if South Carolina was worth fighting for to keep her in the Union, Bhe is worth some little effort now to preserve ber while she is in the Union. Four years more of Grant's rule, like tbe last, and South Carolina migbt as well have seceded, or be wiped from the faoe of the earth, for all the benefit sha will be to tho common Government. As a matter of interest, then, to the pooplo of the North, outside of any rights that the citizens of South Carolina may claim, the policy of the General Govern? ment towards the South should be obanged. ? ? ? ? ? WHAT IS THIS MYSTERY?-Mr. Beck's declaration made on the floor of the National House of Bop rosen tat iv CB, not long since, thnt $133,000,000 have been spent by tho War Department within the last five years, without the authority of Congress, and without the aotion of courts, and spent largely for corrupt pur? poses and to keep men loyal to the Radi? cal party, still remains uncoutradioted. It doesn't become the people of a great, rich, prosperous country like this, to be too particular about trifling sums of the public funds that may now and then mysteriously disappear; but when such a sum ns that named by Mr. Book-one hundred and thirty-eight millions-disap? pears within the brief period of five years, leaving behind not the scratch of an official pen to show where it went, nor for what it went, it is natural that the people from whom it was wrung in the shape of taxes should feol some little curiosity to know who got it, and to see at least a photograph of the quid prc quo for which it was paid. Mucn the larger part of this vast sum has beer squandered or stolen since the accessioi of the Grant Administration to power and if the people are required to vot< for the continuation of the reign of tba Administration, they should pause at the polls, with their ballots in their hands until the mystery of these lost million! is explained. The mysteries oi a lik character demanding explanation, how ever, are so numerous under the presen Administration, that there is no hop that the half of them will ever be ex plained-not the slightest hope, certain ly, that the people will ever be truthful! told what became of tbe ono bundie and thirty-eight millions in question. ?-??-? THE DISASTER AT MT. VESUVIUS.-Tb eruption of Mt. Vesuvius, which be been in progress for several days, be assumed a terrible violence, and intcll genoe is now communicated by the cab! that 200 persons, inhabiting the vi lagen at its base, have been buried by tl lava. Thousands of others have ?V in dismay to situations of safety, aa tho distress and excitement are i: tense. The event recalls but fow para leis in the history of Vesuvius. Tl first recorded eruption of the famoi volcano ocourred in the your 79, whe Pompeii and Heroulaueum were d stroyed. Then followed a long peric of apparent rest. In 1066, Hoods of la' were agaiu belched forth, and since tb time, about sixty eruptions have occu red. The most conspicuous of the were in 1779, in 1791, when tho town Torre del Gjaco was destroyed; in 1S2 in 1855, destroying the village of C< colo, and in 1858, '59 and '61, when t eruptions were especially marked i their terrible grandeur. THE FULL SENATE.-When thc Uuit States Senate, on Wendcsday, decid to admit General Ransom as a merni of that body from North Caroliua, ? Thurman remarked that, for the fi time since 1861, all tho States uro fu represented in Congress. Now that t muoh of justice has been done, tard and ungraciously, however, the N York Evening Post says "it would well to take another step towards reci oiliation and peace. The rule of 1 bayonet has been gradually giving v to law, although with apparent rel tanoe. At most, tho proscription of Southern leaders for political offen cannot oontinuo through another ad nistration. It would be an admira sequel to this act completing tho ref seutation of the Southern States, Congress to adopt au Act sweeping a\ all disabilities. Universal amnesty ono of the demands of the hour."

As public opinion is being very gene? rally exorcised upon the next Presiden Mal campaign, we hare prepared a table of the eleotoral votes of the different States, showing how they will probably be cast in tho coming election. The tablo is prepared from statistics fur? nished by the Herald Almanac, and may be relied upon as authentic. Under the present Congressional apportionment, tho Electoral College consists of 317 votes, of wbiob 159 aro neceesary for a choice. The House of Eepresentatives has proposed a new apportionment, wbicb, if adopted, will give 357 votes, requiring 179 for a choice. Tho follow? ing number of votes will certainly bo cast against Grant. Thc first column contains tbe vote of cacb State uuder the old apportionment-tho second, its vote under tho apportionment proposed: Alabama.8 9 Delaware. 3 3 Georgia.9 ll Kentuoky.ll 12 Maryland. 7 8 Missouri.ll 15 New York.33 34 Tennessee.10 ll Texas.6 8 Virginia.10 ll W.

The Radical majority in this State at the congressional election in 1870, wa less than 2,400-and this can be easil; overcome. As Arkansas is entitled ti five votes, as the college now stands, sb will make up the requisite majority c 159. 15ut these are by no means tho onl States, which can bo carried by the D? mocrats and liberal Reformers. W have not noticed the great Wester States, which are even now so nearl divided in sentiment, and in which tb great Reform movement had its birtl The Radicals may be considered ccrtai of the following votes: Florida. 3 Iowa.8 1 Kansas. 3 Maino.7 Massachusetts].12 1 Mississippi.7 Rhode Island.4 South Carolina. 6 Vermont. 5 Wisconsin.8 1 Michigan. 8 ] Total.61 { The remaining States hold the balam of power. Of these the most importai are: Illinois.1G ? Ohio.21 ! Pennsylvania.26 ! Total.63 ' Anyone of theso States will decide tl election against Grant, and it is vc probable that the Reform Rep?blica would bo successful even if all voted ? Grant. Grant's majority in Illinois w 50,000, in a total voto of near 500.0C In 1870 tho Radicals carried the State I 23,000, iu a voto of 316,000. On strict party coutcst tho Republic i would, doubtless, nguiu bo successf But Lyman H. Trumbull, whom 1 State bas always delighted to honor, b proclaimed in trumpet tones for ref or and John W. Palmer, ber Cbief Mag trate, bas avowed himself a dotermin enemy of military usurpation; and um their banner, Reformers and Democr. will roll up a handsame majority. Ohio, a change of 10,000 votes, or c in forty-five, will throw the whole St in the bands of tho Reformers. 1 victory gained by the Democrats in 1 last municipal election in Cincinnat tho first in many years-and the prossi brought to bear on the State by the C oinnati Convention, will certainly ins' the success of the reform movome Grant, with all hie military prostige, c ried Pennsylvania by less than 30,1 votes. The next year, Geary was cloe Governor by 4,000 majority, in a voti 575,000. Tho present Radical Stato tic is obnoxious to the people, liar tran it, gubernatorial candidato, is accused having a baud in the Evaus frauds, this State, the Reformers gained tl first victory in tho election of Colo McCluro to tho Stato Senate, over Radical opponent. A strong dclogat bas been nent'to Cincinnati. Theso statistics show that Grant is uo means so powerful ns bis friends i gino him. All depends on tho nctioi tho Cincinnati Couvontion, aud w-? watch its proceedings with interest. If the Reformers (iud tho Democrats throw aside party hate and personal mo tires, and strive faithfully to do their duty, we feel assured that when the doy of election comee, Grant will bo remand? ed to that obscurity for which he is pe? culiarly fitted, and a new era of prosper? ity will dawn upon a country redeemed, regenerated and disenthralled. ? -*>?-? GRANT'S PEACE-Grant, soys the New York World, came into power with re? construction alt but accomplished; the long battle over, and North and South anxious for peace. What has he done in this matter but inaugurate and pursue a policy of hate? Even Congress was weary in wielding tho lash. On the 7th of March, 1871, tho Forty-second Con? gress was orgauized and stood ready to adjourn. Even Butler and Bingham, Stevenson and Kelley, had no outrago to adduce. But Grant iusisted tho body Bhould remain iu sossion, aud on the 23d of March ?ont ia a message asking the passage of the Ku Klux bill. The re? luctance of the two Houses be overcame by menace and bribery, tho corrupt use of the patronage to intimidate somo aud seduce others, and the bill passed. Proclamation upon proclamation of mar? tial law ensued. Iuiuntry, artillery and cavalry were sent out to make arrests, aud SI,000,000 spent to purchase con? victions. Within a few days back the crusade, which had lulled, bas been re? opened with fury, and Grant now de? mands that the suspension of the writ of habeas corpus, which soon expires, be re? enacted, to be of force until the next Presidential election be passed. This is Grant's poace. Iiis promise he tither cannot or will uot fulfill. ?-??-? For tile 1'hrenlx. Will our Mayor and Aldermen graut the very modest request of tho Central National Bank, to give it $G00 or $800 worth of land ns compensation for erecting a nuisance in the public streets? If they do, there will bo a general scramble by holders of real estate for a similar or greater extension of their lots. Heretofore all our City Councils have thought it their duty to prevent obstructions iu tho streets; but now it is proposed to oiler a reward for them. Ought not tho ba.uk to occupy its own ground, or buy more, as overybody else doss, instead of asking Council for wbut is not their's to give? And if they can find no better object for their charity, would it not be better to pay tho bank the value of tho property iu money, uud leave the streets opeu to all? A CITIZEN. 4 olumbla.

FUIE ON JAMES' ISLAND.-A fire oc? curred ou Jamos' Island the latter part of last week, which destroyed four buildings, including the residence on the Legare place, worked by Jack John? son, no old family servant. Tho white men in the vicinity did all in tboir powor to arrest tho progress of tho flames, and j succeeded in Raving thc barn. Much j regret is expressed nt thc calamity which bas fallen upon Johnson, who is spoken i of nr. a worthy mau. Tho damage done was pretty heavy. Thc origin of the I fire is unknown. - Charleston Courier, PABAN STEVENS.-At a late hoar last night there died at his residence, in this city, one of tho oldest and most active of the peculiarly American order of "hotel princes." The American hotol is an institution which, originating in th? business activity and migratory habits of American society, is fast mak? ing with theso habits tbs tour of the world. Within the last twenty years it has been introduced, with local modifica? tions iu each case, but in each case, also, with all its own substantial features, into every conspicuous capital of Eu? rope. At home during the same period it has been amazingly "developed" with the development ot oar social civiliza? tion; nv>d no one man probably bas bad moro to do with its progress and im provoment than Paran Stevens. Mr. Stevens first became widely known to thc traveling public, some quarter of a century ago, as the proprietor of the Revere House, in Boston, which, under his management, soon carno to bo re? garded as the "model hotel" of tho Union. He was a man of too much energy and enterprise, howover, to be couteuted with one venture, and before the outbreak of the civil war he bad be? come tho chief working proprietor of six or seven of the chief hotels of the United States. His linea went out from Boston to Mobile. The Fifth Avenue Hotel, in New York, and tho Continental, iu Philadelphia, were planned and con? trolled by him. It may bo considered a decisive proof of his executive ability, that with all this vast extension of bis operations ns a landlord, Mr. Stevens prospered steadily, and accumulated a hauduome fortuue, which he used liberally in au intelligent patronage of thc tine arts and a generous hospitality. During the past year Mr. Stevens had been engaged in an enterprise of mo? ment to New Yorkers. He had just completed nu apartment house on the French plan, which, with a few excep? tions iu Vienna and Perth, may pro? bably be considered the most complete experiment of tho kiud yet made. Mr. Stevens in private life was a man of kind and excellent nature, and his death will bo regretted by a considerable circle of friends. He leaves a widow and au only daughter.-New York World. RADICAL. MEETING IN GEORGETOWN. The Georgetown Tiines reports that the "grand mass meeting" of Radicals, held ou Saturday week, was a grand failure. Noue of the "prominent speakers" ar? rived, and only forty or fifty persons wero present. The 2Vme?says: Representative Jonas opened the ball, as usual. The meeting was called that ibo constituents might have from their representatives an account of their stew? ardship. Mr. Jones referred them to the proceedings of the Legislature, as published in all the papers, which had uo doubt been carefully read by them. Representative Bowley said ditto. Rep? resentative MoDowell said likewise also. Considering that they were addressing a highly intelligent audience, who bad read ull of the proceedings of the mena? gerie, and uuderstood what they meant, the remarks of the representatives must have been entirely satisfactory, without the necessity of going over them in de? tail. They did not explain why the tuxes wero doubled, the State Treasury empty; why tho schools were about to be closed, and the inmates of the Luna? tic Asylum about to be starved or turned loose on the community; or how it hap? pened, with this condition of things ex? isting, they managed to return to their constituents with costly horses and mules and vehicles and furniture. Mr. Jones announced the gratifying faot that be was not a candidate for any office, and I hat he would not serve in any unless he was elected. That declaration is certainly explicit enough. It is as plain as a Delphic oracle, and seemed to be under? stood by every one of his hearers. Not witbstauding the eloquence of the speak? ers, the meeting to consider "questions of vital importance to the public" was a laughable farce, a ridiculous fizzle, and a complete failure. There wore few, if any, of the intelligent and influential colored meu of the town and County at it, and we novo reason to believe they aro gettiug heartily sick and tired of being the pliant dupes and victims of a set ot' men who bavo for tho last four j years systematically deceived them, in j order that thoy might successfully rob I and plunder them. - . ? -? PATRONS or HUSBANDRY.-As might naturally hare been expected, this new secret society of farmers is making rapid progress in tho South. It is felt to meet the want nowhere, perhaps, so urgent as hero of uuion and co-operation among the tillers of tho soil, while offering, at the samo time, social advantages which add four-fold to its value and attractive? ness. In Mississippi, a State Grange of this order has lately been organized un? der the most favorable auspices, and with that popular leader, Gen. Vaughn, as Master. The first substantial Grange in South Carolina was organized in this oity last summer, under the name of Ash? ley Grange, No. 1, with Dr. A. B. Rose ns Mastor, and Wm. Ufferbardt as Secre? tary. There are now ten working Granges in tho State, and soveral others in the prooess of organization; and we learn that Col. D. Wyatt Aiken, Worthy Deputy at Large for the Southern States, purposes, during tho coming summer and autumn, to canvass the whole State in the interests of the ordor and of agricultural progress generally. [CJiarleston Courier. Pompey committed a big mistake when ho resolved in tho New Orleans Convention that "every road out of Re? publicanism leads to the Democratic camp." According to his most trusted political geographers, the main highway out of Republicanism leads directly to Grautism. Pompey had better mind about those roads; for, if ho forsakes bis old guides, be may blunder iuto thc legendary ron to "np Salt River." [ Louis viii* Courier-Journal.
