COLUMBIA, S. C. Tuesday >Homine:. May 7,1872. B Tbe Situation. It was not within the bounds of rea? sonable hope that the aotion of the Cin? cinnati Convention would be entirely satisfactory to all the anti-Grant ele? ments throughout the country. It has not proved so, but there seems to be a muoh more unanimous acceptance of the platform and candidates than might ' have been expected. Tbero were in the Convention, and doubtless equally io to rested and honest in the movement for reform, strong advocates of free trade, on the one hand, and warm devotees of a proteo ti vo tariff, on the other. It was impossible that the extremists of either of these opposing views of political economy could hs entirely satisfied. Judges Hoadley, Brinkerhoff, Mat? thewa and other pitra free traders, are accordingly very bitter in their denun . dation of -the nomination of Mr. Gree? ley, a life long protectionist, and they threaten, in the first flash of their dis? appointment, to bolt the ticket, call an? other.cphf?ntidn, or endeavor to carry out their peculiar views at Philadelphia or at St. Louis, where it is thought the Demooratio National Convention will meet, if it meet st all. While we hare these slight signs of disaffection among the liberal Republi? cans themselves, there are also indica? tions that the nomination baa not boen in all respeots just what some of the Democrats desire. This ia not in the least surprising, for it mattered not what candidates the liberal Republicans had pat forward, there wocld inevitably be found some Democrats to whom they would be objectionable. The New York World pressed strongly the claims of Charles Franois Adams, as abont the only Republican whom the Democrats would cheerfully and unani? mously support, and also opposed the nomination of Jadgo Davis. The Wash? ington Patriot favored Judge Davis. The Atlanta Sun bitterly upbraided the World for its advocacy of Mr. Adams, and other Demooratio papers urged other names, and so on. It was, therefore, a practical impossibility to have named any set of candidates that would have en i ted tho poe aliar views of all. Ac? cordingly we find the World, the Patriot and the Baltimore Gazette disapproving the nominations with more or lesa expli? citness. How far the influence of these journals may extend, and hpw far in their opposition they express the senti? ments of the Demooraoy around them, it is impossible to judge correctly. This we do know, however, that, so far as we have had opportunity to see, every De? mocratic paper South of Maryland favors the nomination, and advises, as we have done, its earnest support by the Demooraoy. Theil Southern Democrats, if there be no regular Democratic candi? dates in the field, will, we are firmly per? suaded, vote en masse for Greeley and Brown on the Cincinnati platform; and even should the Demooratio party be rash enough to make a separate nomina? tion, a heavy vote will be given the Cin? cinnati nominees any way. It is true that, ten or twelve years ago, there was no man more cordially and generally hated at the South than Ho? race Greeley, the abolitionist; but it is equally true that there is no Republicen at the North that bas s-> commended him? self to our grateful regard within the past few years. Horaoe Greeley has shown that while he was a friend to the black he was no foe to the white man of the South. He did not assume the garb of a fanatic philanthopist to conceal sec? tional hate, like thousands of other Re? publicans. Those latter we find, though the Union, for whioh alone they pro? fessed to be battling, has been restored; though the slaves have been ?rood and vested with the foll rights of American citizenship, are just as bitter, just as vindictive, jost ss unrelenting in their uiuboiiual Ln?E?u ol th? S?uiu, Ss during the fiercest! days of tu0 war. They hated with the envenomed malice ot jealous envy and of conscious inferiority that knows no abatement nor remission. They hate us for the high integrity of oar statesmen, the culturo and courtli? ness of our gentlemen, the purity and refinement of our women. It was low, sordid, base envy like this that sought to vent its spleen nnder the false cry of freedom and the Union. Their conduct since tho war, in heaping wrong after wrong, and humiliation after humilition, upon ns, proves this beyond all question. They even bato ns more now for/ the dignified and manly fortitude with whioh we show our contempt for their petty spite. Not so with Horaoe Greeley ond the liberal Republicans associated with him in the reform movement. To reotify the wrongs of the South is the prime motive in their breaking from the Grant fao'ion. Tba war over, the slaveB freed, the Union preserved, their .oppo? sition to tho South bas ceased, and through .them, in our judgment, wo must look for a full restoration to our rights in the Union and relief " from oarpet-bag misrule, with more hope than even from the Domocratio party, should it be hoisted into power by the disseoaion now in the Republican ranks. .-.-?-?-*> Tho Bavclt Down. It is now Tory generally believed-for it is semi-officially confessed at Wash? ington-that Grant nas concluded to oonoede to the British Government a virtual withdrawal of tho American claim for indirect damages. After all Grant's bluster ?nd the attitude of ap? parent determination and dignity which he had assumed in declaring his purpose to eua tain the "case" as presented, his knuckling now to John Bull intensifies the humiliation ?Dd shame pf the ridicu? lous and dishonorable position in which he had placed himself and,the Govern? ment of the United States. It is a vir? tual acknowledgment that the incorpo? ration of the claim for inferential damages in tho American case was not prompted by an honest conviction of their propriety and justice, but was sug? gested by a spirit of pettifogging chi? canery, which sought to create capital for Grant's re-election, at the risk of that shame and dishonor that has oome upon the country. If England could have been induced, through fear of a war with the United States, to submit quietly to be mulotcd in the sum of hundreds of millions of dollars, under the claim for consequential damages, it would have been a>great feather in Grant's cap. His foreign polioy would then have been considered scarcely less brilliant than his military record, for, with their eyes gloating upon English gold, the Ameri? can people would not have been over? scrupulous in determining the justice of tho demand upon which it was paid, es? pecially when the defendants themselves made no serious objections. But Grant oounted without his host. England, though averse to war, is not more so than the people of the United States. She has courteously, but none the less firmly and manfully, protested against Grant's chicanery, and expressed her unalterable determination not to conti? nue the arbitration, unless the prepos? terous claims be withdrawn. Grant stood ont for awhile, and gave out the impression that he wonld up? hold the American oase as presented at all hazards. His reputation for bull? dog tenacity persuaded many that he would be as good as his word, and "Ugh! it out on this line, if it takes all sum mer." But England was not to b( bullied, and Grant has been obliged ti succumb. It is very authoritatively re ported now that Grant has proposed no to prosecute the claim for oonsequentia d????g??, ?? the notuiuai condition thai England pledges herself not to presen claims of a similar character against vin United States, should the position o the two Governments be reversed. Ai England has all along deolared that th? claims were preposterous and unreason able, there is no doubt but that she wil accept the condition, which has baen in sorted merely to ease Grant's fall a little Whether England will be satisfied though, with the simplo understand^ that the claims are not to be prosecuted or will demand their absolute withdrawn from the American case, is not so cer tain. Judging from the hopeful ant self-satisfied tone in which the matter i now spoken of by the English authori ties, we feel pretty safe in asserting tba the difficulty has been arranged, or wi! Boon be arranged, in a mannor vor satisfactory to England and the rovers to Grant. TaBBlBLK ACCIDENT.-A private lette from Dr. H. Edmunds, at Ridgeway Fairfield County, communicates this sa intelligence: "A sad aooident occurred on Satur da night. Capt. Seigle's family, with thei company, retired tolerably early, all i fine health and spirits. About mid night they were aroused from their slum bera by the light and heat caused fror the house, which was wrapped in flame; All succeeded in making their escap from the house exoepting Miss Faun Haynes, only daughter of Mr. E. Vu Haynes, who perished in the flamei Capt. S. badly burned, hands and fac? Mr. John Stewart severely burned, als badly braised from jumping from th seoond s toi y ; also, bia wife badly burne and braised. Both leaped from th seoond story. The others all slight! burned exoepting Mrs. S. and Matti Stewart. 'Tts awful to think of the lot sustained pecuniarily, but nothing i comparison with the loss sustained b Mr. Haynes, and the suffering throng whioh the others must pass. How trui 'We know not what a day may brin forth,' and yet how few think of it." -? ^'?V >.-. Emily Woodruff, of Pittsburg, bega twenty-seven snits for slander, mat complaints in thirteen other oases, an very naturally brought up in a lunat asylum. Address and Resolution* Adopted at Cincinnati. Mr. Horuoe White, from the Commit? tee ou Phitforta,? reported resolutions unanimously adopted by tho committee. Tho reaolutioba are prefaoed by the fol? lowing address: . Tbs administration now in power has rendered itself guilty of wanton disre? gard of the laws of the land, and. of usurpation of powers not granted by the Constitution. It has acted as if the laws had binding force only for those who are governed* and not for thoau who govern. It has. thus struck a blow at tba fondamental principles of constitu? tional government and tho liberties of aitizons. The President of ibo United States bas openly used the powers and opportunities of his high office for tbe promotion of personul ends. He has kept notoriously oorrnpt and nu worthy men in plaoes of powor and responsi? bility, tu tho detriment of the public int crests. He has used the public service of the Government ns machinery of partisan and personal influence, and in? terfered with tyrannical arrogance in tbe political affairs of States and municipali? ties. He has rewarded with influential aud lucrative offices men who had ac? quired his favor by valuable presents, thus stimulating demoralization of our political lifo by his conspicuous example. He has shown himself deplorably une? qual to thc tasks imposed upon him by the necessities of the country, and culpa bry oareless of tho responsibilities of his high office. The partisans of tho Administration, assuming to be the Republican party, and controlling its organization, have attempted to justify such wrongs und palliate such abuses, to the end of main? taining partisan ascendancy. They have stood in tho way of necessary investiga? tions and indispensable reforms, pre? tending that no serious fault could bc found with the present administration of publio affairs, thus seeking to blind tho eyes of the people. They havo kept alive the passions and resentments of the late civil war, to use them to their own advantage. They havo resorted to arbitrary measures in direot conflict with the organic law, instead of appeuling to the better instincts and latent patriotism of the Southern people, by restoring to them those rights, the enjoyment of whioh is indispensable to a successful administration of their local affairs, and would tend to promote a patriotic and hopeful national feeling. They have de? graded themselves and the name of their party, once justly entitled to the confi? dence of the nation, by a base syco? phancy to the dispenser of executive powor and patronage, unworthy of re? publican freemen. The; have sought to stifle the voice of just oritioism, to stifle the moral sense of the people, aud to subjugate public opinion, by tyrannical party discipline. They are striving to maintain themselves ju authority for selfish ends, by an unscrupulous use of power whioh rightfully belongs to the people, and should be omployed only in the service of the country. Believing that au organization thus led and con? trolled eau no longer be of service to the best interests of the republic, we have resolved to make an independent appeal to the sober judgment, conscience und patriotism of tbe American people. The following are tho resolutions in full: We, the liberal Republicans of the United States, in national convention assembled at Cincinnati, proclaim the following principles as essential to a just Government: First. We recognize the equality of ull men before the law, and hold that it is tho duty of the Government, in its deal? ings with the people, to mete out equal and exact justice to all, of whatever na? tivity, race, color or persuasion, reli? gions or political. Second. We pledge ourselves to main? tain the union of these States, emanci? pation and enfranchisement, and to op? pose any re-opening of the questions settled by the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments of the Constitu? tion. Third. We demand the immediate and absolute removal of all disabilities im? posed on account of the rebellion, which was Anally subdued seven years ago, be? lieving that universal amnesty will re? sult iu the complete pacification of all sections of the country. Fourth. Local self-government, with impartial suffruge, will guard the rights of all citizens moro securely than any centralized power. The publio welfare requires the supremacy of the civil over tho military authority, and the freedom of person under the protection of tho habeas corpus. We demand for tho in? dividual the largest liberty consistent with publio order, for the States self government, and for the nation a return to the methods of peace and the consti? tutional limitation of power. Fifth. The oivil service of the Govern? ment has become a mere instrument of partisan tyranny and personal ambition, and an object of selfish greed. It is a scandal and reproach upon our free in? stitutions, and breeds a demoralization dangerous to the perpetuitj of republi? can government. We, therefore, regard a thorough reform of the civil service as one of the most pressing necessities of the hour; that honesty, oapaoity and fidelity constitute the only valid claims to publio employment; that the offices of the Government oease to be a matter of arbitrary favoritism and patronage, and that publio stations become again posts of honor. To this end, it is impe ritatively required that no President shall be a candidato for ra-eleotion. Sixth. We demand a system of Federal taxation whioh shall not unnecessarily interfere with the industry of the people, and whioh shall provide means neces? sary to pay the expenses of the Govern? ment, economically administered, pen? sions, the interest on the publio debt, and a moderate reduction, annually, of the principal thereof, and recognizing that there are in our midst.honest but irreoonoible differences of opinion with regard to the respective systems of pro? tection and free trade, we remit discus? sion of the subject to tbe people in their Congressional Districts, and to the deci- < sion of Congress thereon, wholly free of executive interforenoe or dictation. Seventh. The pnblio credit must be i sacredly maintained, and we denounce i repudiation in every form and guise. Eighth. A speedy return to specie pay? ments is demanded alike by the highest considerations of commercial morality ?nd honest government. Ninth. We remember with gratitude tho heroism and sacrifices of the soldiers and sailors of tho republic, and no act of ours shall over detract from their justly earned fame or the full reward of their patriotism. Tenth. We are opposed to all further grants of lands to railroads or other cor? porations. The public domain should be held sacred to actual settlors. Eleventh. We hold that it is the duty of the Qovernment in its intercourse with foreign nations to cultivate the friendship of peace by treating with all on fair and equal terms, regarding it alike dishonorable either to demand what is not right or to submit to what is wrong. Twelfth. For the promotion and BUO cess of thane vital principien, and the support of the candidates nominated by thia Convention, wo invito and cordially welcome the co-operation of all patriotic citizens, without regard to previous poli? tical ofllMation. Horace Greeley. Wo clip the following sketch of the lifo of Horace Greeley from tho IV.cb ruond Dispatch: Horace Greeley was born in Amherst, New Hampshire, on the 3d of February, 1811. In his youth he was remarkable for lu's fondness for books, and it is said that by the tenth year of his ugo ho had read every book within seven miles of bi.'? father's house; which is within the range of credibility, as books wero then very scarce. He is not spoken of as either tho "good little boy," or "the boy that never told a lie;" but ho was irrepressibly mirions about all sorts of things, und made his early essays in till? ing cabbages, potatoes and corn, under his father's pupilage. At the age of fifteen, he entered the printing office of the East Pontt ney (Vt.) Northern Spectator, to learn the printing business. In that establishment he showed his aptitude and industry by soon becoming tho best printer in the office, and giving sometimes valuable assistance in editing the paper. The Spectator died in 1830, and tho next year the then youthful philosopher made his appearance in New York city to Beek employment, with $10 in his pocket not a very small capital for those day?. He had before he left Vermont displayed a talent for statistics and a knowledge of parties and party men that astonished the natives. In New York, he worked as a journeyman printer in several of? fices lintil he embarked in business for himself, in partnership with Mr. Fran? cis Story, who, Boon dying, the firm of Greeley Sc Co. was continued with new par tn ors, and tho New Yorker, a weekly political and literary paper, with Mr. Greeley as editor, was commenced. It was a remarkably well arranged paper, and gave Mr. Greeley his first distinc? tion for accurate and wull-digofited poli? tical etatistics. For soma timo he was actively em? ployed, not only in editing the New Yorker, but in contributing for several Whig papers; and in 18-11, April 10, he commenced the Daily Tribune, which has grown steadily until now it has reached the condition of the first newspaper of the country, familiar to people in all parts of the Union. At the time of the commencement of the Tribune, ho bad established his reputation as a practiced and forcible newspaper writer and an unrivalled collator of political facts and statistics. lu 1848 ho was elected to fill a vacancy in a seat in Congress from the city of New York, which expired in 1849, March 4. W h i lo in Congress he displayed great zeal in his assaults upon the abuses of tho mileage system. He has been au author of books-publishing, after a trip across the At lantic, "Glances at Europe;" also, a "History of Slavery," a "History of tho Late War," and u book on politi? cal economy. He has been a lecturer on many topics, and a zealous adv?calo of manufactures and the interests of labor? ing people. Of course Mr. Greeley ?B known the world over for his opposition to slavery and his support of tho doctrine of pro? tection to home industry. His course since the war has very much commended him to the Southern people. At the moment of the termination of the war of blood be proposed an end of the war of sectional prejudice and hate by gene? ral amnesty. As a proof of his liberality he became one o? ibo sureties uf Mr. Davis, President of the late Confedera? cy, and he has consistently urged upon the Government the policy of olemenoy and general amnesty. No man has poured out suoh bitter and soathing invectives upon the carpet-bag? gers who have plundered the South as Mr. Greeley has. Every Southern paper has spread widely his denunciations of these unworthy people. A saddening rumor comes from Wash? ington by way of the Cincinnati Com? mercial, whos9 correspondent affirms that Secretary Boutwell and the Presi? dent have quarreled, and that the Secre? tary will soon quit the Cabinet and take an no ti ve. part in the opposition to Grant. Another correspondent discussos the chances of Grant's withdrawal, and thinks that Colfax would be nominated if Grant were not, and that Blaine oonld not prevent it, however muoh he might like to. The President's withdrawal, however, is not looked for with lively anticipations. Patti, Nilsson and Lucca, were all bare-footed street warblers. Boo gt X X t o xaa. ?. CITY MATTERS.-The price of single . Jopies of the PHOENIX is five cents. Mr. W. 0. Howitt, for several years . propriutor of Hewitt's Globe Hotel, Au- , gusta, Ga., has obtained possession oi tho Catoosa Springs, near Ringgold, Ga., and will re-open the botel at that truly delightful watering piuco in best nt vie. Iuvalids and pleasure-seekers may find it adrautagcoos to peruse tho adver? tisement. Tho National Medical Association con? venes in Philadelphia to-day. Dre. J. T. Darby, A. N. Talley and R. W. Gibbes were the appointed delegates from this city. Dra. Talley and GiBbes will appear at the convention, but Dr. Darby was compelled to forego that pleasurable duty by the pressure of en? gagements in this State. Tbe children attached to the Presby? terian Sunday-school go on a pio-nio to? day. This evening Irwin's Hall will be crowded-the attraction being the ama? teur concert, arranged by Col. Gulick. Tho principal musicians and vocalists of the city will leud their assistance. 100 children will also participate. There were two deaths from meningi? tis, last week, in a oolored family, on Richland street. Several deaths have occurred in other portions of tho city.

M., tho Court adjourned to Tuesday, May 7, 10 A. M. COURT OF GENISRAI. SESSIONS.-The May term of this court oommenoed yes? terday, Judge Melton presiding. The grand jury-R. L. Bryan, Esq., foreman-being complete, a number ol bills were given to them by aoting Soli? citor Barnwell. The petit juries not being full, au order was made to draw twenty addi? tional jurors, to report on Wednesday next. The grand jury made returns in the following oases: The State vs. William Luous and Hans Bridges. Murder; truo bill. In the caso against Bridges, (he having mude his esoape from jail,) a nol. pros, was en* tered. Luous was arraigned, and Wednesday next assigned for his trial. H. W. Rice was assigned by the ocnrt ac counsel for the prisoner. The State va. Asa Wooten and W. H. Hawkins. Murder; true bill. The pri? soners were arraigned, and Thursday next assigned for their trial. Messrs. J. T. Sloan, Jr., and Mr. Trod ewell repre? sent the prisoners. The oourt then adjourned until this morning, at 10 o'olook. It is probable that no jury (civil) oases will bo triod during this term, but the session will bs devoted almost entirely to equity business. IMPORTANT DECISION.-It is reported that the Supremo Court has decided trhat is known as the jory law, whereby ante bellum debts are scaled from twenty five to fifty per cont., in moat of tho Counties of the State, to be unconstitu? tional. The transit of Venus, which will take place on the 8th of December, 1874, is a very interesting phenomenon, inas? much as it is expected to afford data for determining the trae distance of the Darth from the san, as well as to deter? mine whether or not Venus is attended by a moon. As the lost transit of Venns occurred io 1790, and with the excep? tion of one in 1882, there will not Le another for a hundred years to come, Congress is very properly making such au appropriation for observing it as will place our savana upon a footing with those of Europe. PHONTXIANA.-An almost perfeot hat for gentlemen's wear, during the hot weather, has at last made its appearance. It is on a gossamer body lighter than those used in silk hats, and is covered with a material resembling bombazine. The shape is very becoming to most men, being an American adaptation of the Alpine. If the covering could be ren? dered water-proof, it would be the best thing ever Been in the line. Some of the Northern papers aro gravely discussing the question whether the country can stand another four years of Grant and still be a Republic? We can't sec any necessity cf making so dangerous nu experiment. If voters will but forget party and stand by the country, Grantism will be killed at once and the Republic will be saved. The kangaroo "limp" will soon be in fashion again. The Princesa Alexandra has sprained her knee-and our belles must keep step to the music of fashion. The "coldest March" on record-Bo? naparte's retreat from Russia. Snuggles wants to know if you oan make a blind man liable for a bili, if it is payable at sight. The exquisite name for fans is zepher oo axers. A law of. Pennsylvania makes the tak? ing of money at the door of a theatre on Sunday illegal, wherefoie it is invariably taken at the window. The "Greeley Hat," approved by the Cincinnati Convention, made its appear? ance in New York on Saturday. It is a white felt, in the shape of a beaver.

A 30 fl[2m EXILES IN SIBERIA.-A letter from St. Petersburg says: "The position of the Siberian exiles is much talked about here just now. The total number of these persons, many of whom have been banished by administrative decree with? out a trial, amounts to 350,000; so that, taking the whole of the population of the empire at 70,000,000, there is one exilo for every 200 Russians. No iess than seven people in Boston had the small-pox last winter for the seoond time. This thing of taking an unfair advantage of unsuspecting peo? ple and attacking them a second time is a meanness of which we would hardly have suspected even so mean a thing as the Boston small-pox. They are now perfecting a mode of feeding fuel automatically, to the fire? box of locomotives on the English rail? roads. The originator has patented his invention, which promises him a large fortune. The Dasseldorf paintings, contributed in aid of Chicago, have arrived in New York. It is singular that beforo this gift oould reaoh the burned ont oity, tho Dusseldorf collection was itself de? vastated by fire. A Chicago congregation pricked ap its ears when the minister said, "I have land to sell," but dropped off to sleep again when he added, "the beautiful land on high." An Alabama lady contributed corn bread and whiskey to the supper of tho local temperance society.
