COLUMBIA. S. C. Saturday A o rn in er, May 4, 1872. The Bceacsaicsi Administration. The Grant organs, as did Morton and the other trumpeters of Grant's praises, nt the meeting held some time since in New York, to endorse his administra? tion, claim that the affairs of the country 'have been very economically conducted einco Grant's advent into power. In their apologies for him, they assert that though not a brilliant Chief Magistrate; -though reconstruction had not. been as happily developed as was hoped four -years ago; though the Santo Domingo soheme was not very wise, or a very cre? atable undertaking for the President of -the United, States; though there have 'been great frauds in the Custom House, -and in many of the departments of the -Government; though, in short, Grant .has proved but a sorry official in many respects, still, as Morton pnt it, the peo? ple see and feel that be is a "safe man;" the public credit has been sustained; aud, wonderful to say, there has been near $300,000,000 of the public debt j liquidated in three years, without any j increased taxation of the people. Now, -as to the economy of Grant's administra? tion, there needs but a oomparison of the -amounts consumed in oarrying on the . Government by Grant with that expended -tinder Mr. Buchanan's administration, ?to show how groundless is suoh an asser? tion. That there is a very heavy ba? llance in favor of Mr. Buchanan's term, the Grantites are compelled to admit, but account for it by alleging that the -increase of population, the interest on the publia debt, pensions to soldiers, -&o., more than cover the margin. This .may do for a bald-faced statement, or "even plausible argument; bnt let us see bow the matter Blands when we reduce it to figures, which do not lie. The fol? lowing estimates were made by Hon. -James Brooks, in a speech some time ago : ^Buchanan's administration, I860.._.$55,901,000| .Add for increase population 22 per cent.. 12,320,000 For pensions. 28,000,000 .For depreciation of currency 7,000,000 Interest on public debt. 115,000,000 jForIndian expenses......... 3,000,000 Sinking fund, 1 per cent... 11,600,000 Total-.$232,721,0001 That this is an exceedingly liberal) ..estimate, any candid mind will admit. "Every possible excuse and plea for in? creased expenditures is granted and folly provided for. Now, let os see what re . ceipta hare been had during the last | .year. They are as follows: Collected from customs_$206,270,408 .Collected from internal re? venue. .... 143,008,153 -Collected from sale blio lands. 2,388,646 .Collected from m i set ane? ?os sources. 31,566,736 Total net receipts.$383,323,043 The amount as above esti? mated. 232,721,000 Excess of collections over actual needs of Govern? ment.$150,602,943 Here, then, is one hundred and fifty /millions surpluB funds, which have been ?wrung from the people in one year. We .have no means of knowing precisely what the receipts were for the two years preceding. If we are not mistaken, though, they were much heavier than for the last fiscal year. But if they were -no greater, we should still have for the three years $450,000,000 of surplus mo? ney. Something less than $300,000,000 ?of this bas been applied to the payment of tho public debt, and there is still left $150,000,000 unaccounted for, or, at least, extravagantly expended. What merit is there in this payment of the publia debt? If it had been done by economical management, or skillful financiering; if the machine had been so run as to eave this mach, there might be somo claim for credit to Grant's Admi? nistration for doing it. When, though, thc- expenditures of the Government are mn np $150,000,000 more than they .should be, and this surplus fund simply eo muon extra taxation on the people, thereto no great thing to boast of, surely. -Grant either had to devote the money to I the pnblio debt, allow it to lie idle, or ! .-pocket it. His worst enemies have never accused him of being personally disho? nest. Make as much of it as his friends may, the muoh-abueed Andy Johnson did far moro than he towards paying off the pnblio debt, Daring Johnson's admi? nistration of two years and nine months, we have it upon the authority of Mr. Seeretary Boutwell himself, that $1,066, 000,000 of the pnblio debt was paid off. Thia is over three times aa muoh as has been paid off under Grant in three years. No one ever thought of attribut? ing any special merit to Andy Johnson for this, though Mr. Bontwell says it was done by extraordinary efforts, aa well ae hy extraordinary taxation. Nomination of Air. Greeley* It will be gratifying to tbe friends of reconciliation, re-union and reform throughout the land to learn that the grand consultation at Cincinnati has ended in the nomination of Horace Greeley for President. To the South it will be especially pleasing, for he hus been tbe steadfast obampion of our op? pressed section ever sinee the war; and, if there be one Northern man more than any other who has endeared himself to oar people, it is he. Mr. Greeley has, too, every element of success in him, and is possessed of the high qualities of head and heart that befit a man for the lofty position of chief magistrate of a great peoole. He is a man of earnest conviction! and well defined principles, and is honest, consistent and unvarying in acting np to them. He is, too, the father of freedom to tho colored raoe. For years and years before Grant was ever heard of, he did battle in their be? half, and, next to Mr. Sumner, there is no one probably that oould succeed so well as he in dividing the black vote with Grant. A skeleton of the platform will be found in our telegraphic columns. It appears to embrace every principle that any true conservative patriot, whatever his past party affiliations may have been, can demand. We believe the Democratic party will sustain tho nomination and the platform almost unanimously. We shall give more extended comments hereafter. The lateness of tho hour prevents fur? ther remarks now. Misrepresentation., When, in the discussion of any sub? ject, your opponent palpably and wil? fully misconstrues and misrepresents your language and argument, there is an end at once to all sensible controversy. Suoh a course indicates either an ex? tremely weak mind or a conscious disre? gard of truth, and of the necessity of suoh unfair argumentation to bolster up a cause that has no real strength. The Union, ot yesterday, represents ns as saying that because Judge Carpenter was nominated by the Beform party, he must j have boen a Republican. There is just about enough of semblance of truth in this to.giva a coloring to the falsehood. What we did say was this: "The Union very well knows that so far from being a Democrat, R. B. Carpenter was nomi? nated by the Union Reform party, two years ago, for Governor, solely on ac? count of his being a Republican, and the best one that united with the white peo? ple in the effort for reform." The wilful mis statement of the Union is patent, and waa evidently made with a view to make us appear guilty of the same absurdity in which the Union had involved itself, in alleging that Shrews? bury was not a Republican because he attended the Tax-Payers' Convention, to which Mr. Chamberlain wss also a dele? gate. In another article on tho "city bonds," the Union makes another wilful misrepresentation of us. A single sen? tence is taken from our article, and twisted into making us seem to allege that the City Council have the right to dispose of the bonds at private tale. The Union sets np its own man of straw land demolishes him most thoroughly. ! If the Union had quoted the sentence succeeding the one which it did quote, there would have been not the least possibility of misunderstanding us. But no; that is not what the Union desires. Without misrepresentation, it is totally incapable of making any argument what? ever. The conductor of the Union, we will admit, has probably had more to do with bonds than we have, and has dealt in bonds more than in decent English or honest disputation. What we desire to prevent is too much dealing in the new bonds to the detriment of tho oity. SAD ACCOUNTS FBOM NEWBERRY AND LAUBENS.'-Tho injury done to business of all kinds and to farming interests in the upper Counties, which are feeling the iron hand under the Enforcement Act, is beyond description. In this County, there is soaroely anything doing; in the town, business is almost dead, with but little hope of recovery; while on the farm, in a majority of oases, there is little or nothing doing, and the future prospect is indeed gloomy. And while It is so with ns here in Newberry, tho situation is much worse at Laurens. A gentleman from there on Thursday last says that daring the whole of one afternoon, be saw but three persons out shopping, one lady and two little girls, ?nd not a living soul in from the coun? try. So fearful are some men of being arrested and imprisoned, however inno? cent they may be-so wide-spread is the fear or demoralization-that in some in? stances, it is said, farmers plough their fields with saddled horses, ready to flea on the approach of an officer of the Go? vernment. The times oould scarcely be worse.-Newberry Herald. The Baptist Year-book, for 1872, says that in Georgia the Baptists number 145,254; Virginia has 129,385; North Ca? rolina has 59,800; South Carolina hos 75,311. Every eighth person in Georgia is a Baptist, and every ninth person in Virginia and South Carolina is the same persuasion. EFFECT OF A COHBUPT JUDICIARY.-The New York Evening Post remarks that the terrible ferocity shown by the Cass County (Missouri) "regulators" has a deep significance for the inhabitants of New York. It is not in the mere robbery of the County bonds, nor in the conn i v anoe of ordinary public officers, that we fled the real cause of the intense popular indignation whioh has already resulted in wholesale murder and threats of fur? ther violence. It is in the fact that the people in large sections of the country have lost confidence in the judiciary itself, on which all law depends for its proper execution. Confidence in the administration of justice, in the purity of the bench, underlies all other social principles, and when that is entirely lost, anarchy is inevitable. ID this case in Missouri, two out of thiee judges of the highest local court were directly in? volved in the bond robbery, having given their official order as a necessary act in the conspiracy. It is observed that the people of New York city do not move with suoh ferocious rapidity as those of Missouri, but the loss of confi? dence in tho judiciary has been the most serious result of the recently exposed official corruption; and they are fortu? nate, perhaps, in that city, that the moral anarchy produced has cot resulted in open violence. Might it not be fair to take the same charitable view of acts of violence in the South, provoked not only by public but private robbery, and oy the utter failure of the courts, under tho dominating party there, to protect the people from plunder, outruge and cri mo in every form? BONUSES EXACTED DY THE TARIFF. Mr. Barchan!, of Illinois, member of the Ways and Means Committee of the House of Representatives, during his reoent speech on tariff revision, under? took to show that over 300,000 able bodied men draw pensions from the country through the tariff laws. He read a schedule showing the namber employed in each of the ten proteoted industries of the couutry, and the amount of "bounty" they receive per capita. The tariff, he held, had largely dimin? ished exports within ten years, and the decline in ship building was also due to it The salt bounty amounted to 92,350,000, of whioh $900,000 went to the Onondaga Salt Company alone. Pennsylvania received 324,000,000 boun? ty annually, whioh was $20,000,000 more than the pro rata share of her citizens. The tariff exacted fifty couts a year from every man, woman and child in the na? tion to support the miners and iron? workers of Pennsylvania. Tho paper makers of New England, New York, Now Jersey and Pennsylvania received over 817,000,000, 810,000,000 of which was exacted as a contribution from other States. The manufacturers of woolen goods secured a bounty exceed? ing $50,000,000 annually, of which over 820.000,000 are collected by seven States from the remaining States of the Union. Massachusetts alone received $7,000,000 from other States. The cotton bounty he estimated at $51,000,000, of which Massachusetts got $17,000,000 and Rhode Island $7,000,000. A RIGHTEOUS CRUSADE.-The crusade against dealers in foul meats, explosive oils, &o., in Now York, is going on vi? gorously. Last week not less than sixty six dealers in explosive and dangerous oils were arraigned and fined. But un? fortunately, it appears, the fines aro not so large as the profits to bo derived from the business. The insurance agents have lent a helping hand to tho officers of the law by making war against the sellers of naphtha and poor kerosene. They do this very effectually by cancel? ing tho insurance policies which cover the buildings where such oil is kept for sale. Dealers in impure food and adul? terated milk are also being looked after, but not so closely as they might bo. It is believed that not 100 quarts of puto milk aro sold in tho city of New York, all tho rest bning moro or less adulter? ated. ABBIVAL OF IMBECILES.-In pursuance of an Act passed at the last session of the Legislature, providing for the send? ing, to their respectivo Counties, of the harmless imbeciles in the Lunatic Asy? lum, an instalment of thirteen arrived in this city yesterday. They will have to be cared for by the Connty, or their friends, if they have any capable of ren? dering them assistance. [Charleston Courier. FBOM RICHMOND TO WASHINGTON.-It is stated that regular trains will run on the new road-bed of tho Riohmond, Frederioksburg and Potomac Railroad, from Brooke's Station to Quantico, on to-morrow. At Quantico passengers will take the steamboat from Washington in? stead of Aquia Creek, as at present. They will save nearly an hoar in the matter of time. Tho house of Rothchilds is said to be weakening. It no longer leads in the great moneyed movements of the day, nor has it the financial ability to con? trol the markets of Europe. The great Oerman credit association of Berlin and Vienna and other credit associations of Europe have deprived it of its suprema? cy. OFFICE S. C. LUNATIC ASYLUM, COLUMBIA, May 3, 1872. Editor Columbia Pheonix-DEAR Sm: Ia order that the painful anxieties and sad apprehensions of the people, rela? tive to the present financial condition of the Stato Lunatic Asylum, may be re? moved, and confidence in the ability of this institution to take proper care of those entrusted to its protection may be restored, I deem it my duty to inform tho public that in this, its hwur of sorest need, tho institution has fonnd a friend able and willing to supply its wants. His Excellency the Governor of the State has nobly come forward and pledged his personal credit for the support of the institution till the taxes, collected in the fall, enable the State Treasurer to pay the appropriation made by the Legisla? ture for this purpose; and arrangements have been made with a prominent mer? chant in this oity to furnish all needed supplies. " Qui transtulit sustinet." Very respectfully, J. F. ENSOR. Superintendent, See. THE KU KLUX TRIALS.-In the United States Court, in Charleston, on Thurs? day, the following cases were disposed of: William Owens, of Spartanbnrg, was arraigned on the charge of conspiracy and murder, and having plead guilty to the charge of conspiracy, the murder countsin the indictment weto withdrawn. The following persons who plead guil? ty, or have been convicted of conspiracy, were brought up aud sentenced as fol? lows: Wm. B. Barnet", $30 fine and one year imprisonment. John C.

Me Di rmi Thompson, one year impri? sonment. Wm. Owens, ordered to bo release. Geo. S. Wright, two years imprison? ment and 8100 fine. The United States vs. John T. Craig, et al., prisoners from Laurens. On mo? tion of Messrs. Porter & Connor, it was ordered that tho defendants be admitted to bail in sums ranging from $5.000 to 810,000, in the discretion of the District Judge, where the indictment charges murder, and in sums ranging from 81,000 to 83,000 where the indictment does not include tho charge of murder. The bond to pr?vido for the appearance of the defendants nt a special term of the conrt to be held in Columbia on the first Monday in August, where the defend? ants aro in jail at any County other than Charleston, the discretion may be exer? cised, and bail taken by the United States Commissioner. On motion of Messrs. Duncan ?fc Car? lisle, the following named prisoners were ordered to be sent to Spartanburg to serve out their term of imprisonment, viz.: James S. Kimball, J. E. Kimball, Louis Jolly, John Chapman, McD. Thompson. The bail in the case of tho United States rs. R. E. Briuton, A. W. Thomp? son and ll. L. Goss, indicted for conspi? racy, was declared forfeited, and execu? tion was ordered to be issued. THE RECENT TORNADO.-Tho recent blow appears to have done most damage ou its first outrance into our County np about Bull Swamp. A country friend says that on O. B. Riley's place, it blow dowu many houses, and carried off tho top of tho gin hou?o. At James Ott's, it blow down every house on tho place. At Ephraim Graves', every house, except the corn house. At John Murphy s, left only the dwelling nnd saw-mill, lift? ing tho grist mill from its foundations. The mill was torn to pieces, and mill? stones, measuring four feet by eighteen inches thick, carried off about thirty feet. AU the roads over which it passed are blockaded by the uprooted trees. Its width was about 200 yards. All these places had dwellings and out? buildings, the usual plantation building and negro quarters. It took an old lady, who had hidden between the bed and mattress, out of tho house, bed and all, and "rocked ber to sleep" in the yard. \.0*'an0ebur0 Times. LITTLE BOY BURNED TO DEATII.-The Athens Watchman reports that a little boy, eleven years old, son of Mrs. Peeler, was burned to death last Friday evening, in tho neighborhood of the Athens Factory. In the absenoe of his mother, he undertook to experiment with shavings, kerosene oil, and perhaps other combustibles. Mr. Davis Collins, a respected citizen of Spartanburg, who waB tried before the United States Court at Raleigh, N. C., and sentenced to four years' imprison? ment, died in the Albany, N. Y., Peni? tentiary recently. Johnson's Depot, on the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Railroad, about eight miles East of Edgefleld Court House, is rapidly extending its limits, and daily growing in importance. Booal Items CITY MATTERS.-Tho price o? single copies of the PKONIX is five gents. Captain Leaphart's new insurance sign attracts general attention and admi? ration, in consequence of its cosmopoli? tan character. The national colors of America, England, Ireland, France and Germany aro displayed; the whole worked up iu Mr. Newton's best style. Senator T. J. Robertson will accept our thanks for a copy of the "Statistics of Population," from the ninth census of the United States. It is a valuable work for reference. A special term of the United States Circuit Court is to be held in this city, on the first Monday in August next. A special meeting of the City Council was held yesterday afternoon, ?hen it was deoided that the request of the Cen? tral National Bank for tho use of four feet of the pavement on Richardson and Plain streets, should be granted. This movement will, doubtless, be tho enter? ing wedge to other encroachments. Mr. Edward F. Stokes, of Greenville, after a parado through the streets with a drum and a United States flag, venti? lated his peouliar ideas to a miscellane? ous crowd, last night. "Perry's Ponies" have just arrived at the Indian girl cigar btore. Tho tickets for the concert next week uro going rapidly. Persons wishing to attend had better call on Mr. LjBrand early to-day. Prinoe R. Rivers has been appointed a Trial Justice for Edgefield County, vice P. A. Eichelberger, resigned. John C. Harris, vice Lewis Culbreth, removed. P. B. Waters has also been appointed Trial Justice for said County. James G. Porter has been appointed Notary Pab lio for Charleston. ESCAPED.-On Thursday night, Joe Jackson, Jim Pauldiug, Hanco Bridges, Tom Smith, W. H. Jones and Bill Green, (all colored,) confined in the jail as County prisoners, made their escapo from the jail, by forcing the oell doors open and springing tho window gratings with sash weights taken from tho win? dows by one of the prisoners, who was allowed the oso of the corridor during the day, on account of sickness. After forcing the window bars, they let them? selves down with their blankets. Police? man Young saw them in the yard and gave the alarm, "but obtained no assist? ance. We are informed that Sheriff Prazee has made frequent application to the County Commissioners to have the win? dows of the jail made more secure, but nothing has been done. Great com? plaint is also made that the Commis? sioners have failed to furnish the neces? sary blankets for the prisoners-many of whom are now lying on the floor and suffering fur the want of them. PHONIXJANA.-If, as Atheists affirm, creation came by chance, what a sublime ohance it was! It is said that every woman appears di fi?rent to every mao, and every nature has its separate watch-word, which an? swers to one and will not respond to an? other. It is an awful thing to die rich. And more so, not to. Where to find eternal spriDg-In the circus business. A good, finished scandal, full-armed and equipped, such ,as circulates in tho world, is rarely tho production of a singlo individual, or even of a single coterie. It sees tho light in one; is rocked and nurtured in another; is pot? ted, developed and attains its growth in a third; and receives its finishing touches only after passing through a multitude of hands. Tho earliest barbecue on record-Lu? ther burning the Pope's bull at Worms. In too many lamentable instances, the "last scone of all this strange, eventful h'ioto?j " is-k?r?S?ii?. The best known and least courted general in the country-General de? bility. The fashion for coats this spring is a good deal like that of last spring, par? ticularly with those who are compelled to wear last spring's coats. The most definite description a Lewis town woman could give of ber lost baby was, "Kinder fat, with a calico dross on." The coming of ethereal mildness leads a Western editor to sad reflections. He remarks: "The warm days of summer are approaching, when we shall all be pestered with annoying mosquitoes and hopping fleas." The follies of youth beoome the vices of manhood and the disgrace of old age. Grant's partisans "deny tho soft im? peachment" that he has appointed all his relatives to office. They negleot, however, to elate that the reason he did not appoint the remainder of them was, that ho feared the plunder would not "go round." A delegation o? citizens from Green? ville called on Governor Scott, yesterday, to have a reward offered for the arrest of the incendiaries who have been infest ing that town. Colonel Irvine, Mr. Robert McKay, T. C. Gower, Esq., and Mr. J. C. Bailey, of the Greenville En? terprise, were the committtee of citizens. There have been eight or ten incendiary fires in Greenville within the past two weeks, mostly confined to stables. The Governor promised to offer a reward of $500 for the apprehension of the incen? diaries, which, with an additional reward of an equal amount offered by the town authorities, will, it is hoped, lead to the detection and punishment of the guilty parties. Mr. P. Cantwell, some time since, fell a victim to the gamo whioh is being practiced upon our oitizens by the United States detectives. It appears that, although he had emptied the un? stamped cigar box of its contents-thus evading any responsibility therefor-and had laid the box aside, yet he and the box were seized, and he was released after a trip to Charleston and the pay? ment of about $100. Mr. Thompson Earlo was compelled to pay a similar sum for a like offence, althongh his inno? cence of any wrong doing in the pre? mises was proven by the testimony of several credible witnesses.
