COLUMBIA. S. C. Friday Morning, May 10, 1872. ME, Chamberlain on the Washington Treaty. We received yesterday a copy of a let? ter, printed in pamphlet form, addressed by Mr. D. H. Chamberlain to Hon. Ha? milton Fish on the subject of the Wash? ington treaty. The letter embodies Mr. Chamberlain's views, and his reasons therefor, in regard to'the course whioh the United States should pursue in rela? tion to the ponding controversy over the ' muddled question of consequential da? mages. It may strike some as a trifle forward in Mr. Chamberlain to volunteer his ad? vice to the Secretary of State on a mat? ter of suoh high diplomatic imp?rtanos. He anticipates this himself, and justifies what some might consider his presump? tion upon the ground that "tho danger of o grave and far-reaching mistake on the part of our Government is sufficient eause for the most direct und earnest effort of any citizen" to guard ngainst it. We do not feel disposed, after reading his letter, to carp at Mr. Chamberlain for presuming to intrude his opinion even, upon suchen exalted functionary as Mr. Fish. Every citizen certainly has the right to tender his advioe to public officials with reference to ques? tions involving the common interests; and whether he be presuming or intru? sive in doing no. depends very much upon the value of the suggestions whioh he has to offer. Measured by this standard, Mr. Cham? berlain's letter needs no apology. The immodesty, if there be any, recedes en? tirely from view when one turns to con? sider the sensible, luoid and convincing manner in whioh the writer disposes of the "snag" of consequential damages that now checks the progress of the arbi? tration, and seems likely to result in the final destruction of the treaty. The pro? priety of the original insertion into the "American ease" of the olaims for indi? rect damages. Mr. Chamberlain does not propose to disouss, further than to say that their presence exoited universal sur? prise in this country as well as in Eng? land. He evidently thinks that our Qo . vornmont made a faux pas in presenting the preposterous demand, and we agree with him. To ns it is evident that the leading motive in the preparation of the "American case" was not as it should have been, the su o o ess of the treaty and the establishment of the prinoiple of na? tional arbitration;] but at the risk of losing all the great advantages whioh, as set S?rth by Mr. Chamberlain, the treaty secured to the United States and to the cause of oivilization throughout the world, to hoist Grant in the estimation of the people by the "consequential" tone assumed towarl England, and the hero cf Appomattox, ss it were, adding additional lanrels to his bro ir by "bearding" the British lion in his den. Such, indeed, was the first impulse of the people when the "oase" was pub? lished, and such, doubtless, would have been the general opinion now, if only the thing bad worked well. Bat Eng? land's refusal to continuo the arbitra? tion, unless onr "case" be modified, and the certainty of the subversion of thc treaty, and the possibility of a war that might ensue, caused our people to re fleet; and they have pretty generally concluded that Grant's bearding thc British lion is likely to "cost more thar it will oome to." Bolstered up by thc first outburst of thoughtless popular ap plause, Grant was induced to put on i stiff upper lip, and to insist very firmly upon sustaining the cane as presented under the impression that England would change her base, the British Hoi turn tail to the bull pnp of A merioa, anc Grant become a hero again. It was i bold, though stupid, game. Ulyssej played. it and lost. He is now in a tor taring quandary, and at last accounts, ii the depths of bis perplexity.abd de epondenoy, had oalled in the Committee of Foreign Relations, to see it safet; might not be found in a multitude o oounseUort; or, at least, the fearful re sponsibility, to some extent, shifted t< other shoulders. We think Mr. Chamberlain has indi oated to bim the best course to pursue so far aa the welfare of the country i concerned; and, perhaps, the best thin, for Grant, too, viz: to make an absolut Withdrawal of the olaims for inferen tin damages, and preserve the solid ad vantages of the treaty. Hr. Ohambei lain founds this opinion on the ground? to state them in brief terms, that th treaty ie ot incomparably greater vain than the incidental damages, and thc the national honor will be better 001 salted by acknowledging an error tha by maintaining a falso position, simpi because it bas once been taken. This i very trae, bat still it is not very orediti ble for Grant, nor comfortable for tb country, that oar Government is left only saoh an alternative. A Southerner, though, ts not in a po? sition to pronounce judgment on this question of a settlement ot the Alabama claims. It would como with little grace from ex-Oonfederates to desire to eeo England suffer heavily for what, \a its worst features, was nothing more than assisting ns in our struggle for inde? pendence, as we conoeived it. But we would* nevertheless, bo glad to see tho difficulty Bottled in a manner alike credi? table and advantageous to both COUD trien, if that be possible. Trie Confcilei ato Dead, To-doy loving hearts will devote to tho memory of the noble sons of the South who fell bravely battling for tho oaase of Southern ind?pendance, and gentle hands, in token of their kindly and honored remembrance, will drcBs with flowers the places where rust their mortal remains. The return of this an? niversary recalls sad memories of tho past, when war was raging. While thou? sands of the noblest sons of the South were marshaled nuder tbe "stars and bars" in defenoe of their firesides, their mothers, sisters and a dearer one Btill than all others, with aching hearts, were anxiously waiting for tidings from their loved ones. Each spark of the wires whioh bore the news of the battle, whe? ther a victory or a reverse, carried mourning io some fireside, and mingled with ths rejoicings for victory were the lamentations for the nobie dead. We ii did tho men in grey perform their duty, under the gnidanoe of their chieftains, Lee and Jackson, and oar own slain leaders, Gregg, Perrin, Jsnkins and Gist. They performed glorious deeds of valor, and fell with their faoea to tho foe. When the small remnant that was left succumbed to starvation and overwhelm? ing numbers, not one word of reproach was heard-but from their own people, and from tho whole world, arose a spon? taneous acknowledgment that heroic valor and devoted patriotism could do no more. Although our cause ia lost, and we have abandoned all resistance, yet wo oan never cease to be grateful to our dead heroes for yielding up their lives in our behalf. Every year, as the month of May brings with it flowers, will the noble women of the South pay a sad tributo of affection to those whom they loved BO dearly and nursed so tenderly during their lives. This year another glorious name has been added to the roll of our dead. Gen. Bobert E. Lee, the brave warrior, the true gentleman and the de? voted Ohristinn, now sleeps with those whom he so often led to victory. The list ia increasing daily, until ere long the Confederate soldiers will live only in history. MY ADMINISTRATION.-After thu mas? terly retreat of the press from the Mili? tary Hall on Tuesday night, there were some farther bellicose demonstrations by the loyal, which, however, ended without bloodshed, and a state of peace having been restored, bis Excellency was permitted to resume the brief review of the history of "My Administration," whioh had been so frequently and naugh? tily interrnpted. We learn that he took occasion to say tbat no circumstances of any nature whatever could possibly in? duce him to be a candidate for tho guber? natorial obair again, which may have had the effect of obtaining for him a hear? ing. His Ercelloucy was followed ia turn by his Honor Judge T. J. Mackey, wbo made one of bis usual telling speeohes. He blamed the disturbance to the Bowen faotion, whioh he called tbe Custom House ring, and then proceeded to show up tho corruption of tb? party. His Honor went for the members of the Legislature with a sharp stick, and said that he had been to Washington to see the President, and from bim hud learned that unless there was a reform effected in tbe administration of State affairs, the General Government would have to make provisions for the government of the State. By this time, peace reigned in Warsaw, and Judge Mackey was fol? lowed by the inevitable, tho honorable Tim. Hurley. The meeting Anally, after uii?lnight, adjourned in a high state of edification.-Charleston Courier. ITOMIOIDH.-Ladt Monday evening, Mr. George Heokie, the marshal of the village of Summerville, shot and killed a negro named John Jackson, whom he was bringing to jail by order of the In? tendant of the village. When between the city and Summerville, Jackson drew a knife and attempted to stab Mr. Heokie. In order to prevent the negro from outting him, Mr. Heckle was com? pelled to shoot him. He at once re? ported the affair to the authorities. An inquest was held over the body, and a verdiot of justifiable homioide by Mr. Heokie, in the commission of a lawful act, was rendered. The deceased was a very turbulent obaraoter. [Augusta Constitutionalist. A negro laborer was ran over and killed by the train at Sumter, Wednes? day. After the oars had gotten under way, he attempted to get on board, but missed his footing and fell, the train passing ' over bim. When assistance reached him he was found to be dead. The Swedish immigrants, who settled in Florida not long ago, have become dissatisfied, and are returning to their native land. Tho Cincinnati ff o rat ne ca. Tho die is east. After aa exciting I ueesioa of two days, and after a coarse of measures which havo been marked with very great wisdom, the. Cincinnati Convention proceeded yesterday morn? ing to ballot for the election of candi? dates for the two highest offices ia the Union. It will be seen that Horace Greeley has been nominated for the Pre? sidency, and Governor B. Gratz Brown for the Vi ce-Pr enid on ey. A stronger ticket could not have been selected. There is in theso nominations no empty availability, and in the platform no smothering of principles, no ingenious snare to seduce the hoarts of th? people aud to reach the end in u covert way. The nominees are men of talents und of unspotted integrity. Horaoo Greeley wa? originally opposed to the war. Ho insisted that tho "erring maters" bo allowed to depart iii puaoo. When war bcoamo inevitable, bo nd voca ted it? vigorous prosecution ; but since tho last gun was tired, nod thu Confederate soldieis surrendered, he has bceu the consistent, persistent adv?calo of peace und amnesty, and has urged uti oblitera? tion of all the mad passions born of war. For twelve months Mr. Greeley ha? warred upon the despotism aud cariup tion of the Grant administration. Of all the Northern mon, Mr. Groelej is now the least objectionable to tin Southern people, however much tbej may have once disliked him. lu thai dark hour, when they were broodier, over their desolated homes and aronui their thinned firesides, Mr. Greeloj threw himself into the breach. Scorn ing the slander of fanatics and carim nothing for pecuniary loss, he busteuet to Richmond and signed the bond o Jefferson Davis, in order that he migb bo freed from a loathsome prison, ant nnacH be restored between the two seo Lions. Mr. Greeley started in life i practical printer. He belongs to tb working musses, for he bas been ? cou stant laborer for nearly forty years Strict and punctual in his business bu bits, plain and affable in his manners with powers of mind whioh grasp, as i were by iutuition, every subject to whie they are applied, united to various nn extensive acquirements, he is pre-emi nently qualified for the position to whiol he has boen nominated. His career i Congress was guided by honesty au characterized by great ability. He is statesman of enlarged views and expc riouoe; of extensive attainments; honet tn his principles; pure in his private lift faithful to his friends, and liberal to bi oppoueuts. He has arrived at aa ag whioh has brought with it wisdom t guide his course, without imbecility t impair his aotive powers. The nominee for the Vice-Presidenc rounds off the splendor of the ticke B. Gratz Brown, the present Governc of Missouri, is worthy of the high sti tion to which he aspires. He is a favo ite among the younger sisters of tl Union. He is the very type of thu pr? gress of our great country, and COD bines every element of strength. The Democratic party of the count] has taken no part iu these nomination on account of the peculiar circumstano< by which it was surrounded. But as tl candidates are unobjectionable, and tl platform generally embraces the gre: constitutional principles for which D mocrats have oontended, aud as the coi test is one between corruption at honesty-between despotism and fro dom-between consolidation and tl rights of the States-we presumo tl Democratic party will support tho Ci cinnati ticket cordially, thoroughly ur. with a whole heart. Tho proposition hold a National Democratic Conventic for the purpose of instructing Democru as to their duty, in an hour like the pr sent, is a work of supererogation. National Democratic Convention can ac no strength to the Cincinnati tickt while tho least imprudence would eau incalculable injury. We earnestly tm tho folly of holding a National Dem oratio Convention-the farce of marc ing np tim hill and then inarching dov again-will not be enacted. So fur the "Appeal" is oonoerned, it has ke aloof from tho ??lection of candidat? but now that a nomination is made, will rally to the support of Grouloy a: Brown. Tiley deserve the vote of eve man who would preserve our Republic institutions, who loves liberty and hal despotism, who admires honesty and n hers corruption, who detests anare and would preserve the Conntitutic and who war upon consolidation wh clinging to the rights of tho States, tho canvass every patriot will find in t momentous issues involved n rallying c fitted to stir the popular heart to depths, and to enlist the whole patrio impulso of the land. Nothing is wanting to secure an ovi whelming viotory bat for tho au ti-Gm men to be trae to themselves. What delightful spectacle to Bee the Den crats and liberal Republicans uniting the glorious work of saving tho count: We invoke every Democrat to rally tho standard erected by tho Cine?un Convention, whioh is truly the embl of his country's glory. If any are lui warm, we oall upon them to arouse fr? their indifference. If any have disi pointments to brood over, or fanoy tfc are humiliated, we pray them to saorit their private griefs upon the altar of I common good. We invite all to ta part in the contest against despotia dishonesty and corruption that they rx participate in the glory of the gr victory whioh is destined to crown \ efforts to restore peace and to prese: the Constitution. Let every Dumoo merge all Belflsh considerations in I impulses of a noble patriotism. In v ing for Greeley and Brown, and ende ing the platform erected at Cinoinm wo aro simply doing what is vitul to I perpetuity of our institutions. 1 whole South must do her duty in t good work. Upon the broad platfo whioh was erected with snob unanimi all good men can stand, and in supp of it Virginia, the mother of States i statesmen, and the entire Sooth will be found united. Let there be no misgivings, but, united, let us go forth io a spirit of vic? tory, and wi td hope and glad courage; and, rely on it, a bright and glorious sun will gleam upon the horizon of the com? ing cou test, und lead ns to a glorious tri nmph. Tho spirit of the people is aroused, and soon we shall hear their re? sponses, speaking in thunder tones against oorruption and for reform. Let us not fall into the error of despising ? our euemy; but lot us conciliate and or? ganize. We sh ul I have no child's play of it. Then lot us preparo for a iiurce and formidable encountor. Wo have the forco to boat thu Radicals. But wo must place ourselves in auch n position as to bring ali our available strength in tho field. So organized, so united, so well armed, wo caro not whom wo have to en? counter. Bo it the present incumbent, with ult the machinery of tho Govern? ment aud the corruptiou of hm thieves, wo shall defeat him unless wo waste our strength iu idle quarrels. From this mouiout should every member of thc great patriot party of tho country deem himself enlisted for thc campaign, and devote all his efforts and euorgies to tho glorious cause of reform until tho battle is fought aud won.-Memphis Appeal.

SIR: Section 10, page 200, Statutes at Large of South Carolina, in regard to license law, says: "Any person engaged iu the business of selling by sample, or uny person soliciting orders, shall pay the sum of $25." Our case is this: we buvo paid our li? cense tax to the County Treasurer here for nil we expect to sell by person, sam? ple or otherwise, for the year 1872. We send out our salesmen, aud they solicit and obtain orders. As we have already paid our tax, are we liable tc pay the additional tux of S25?

Marshall d) Co., Charles Ion, S. C. GENTLEMEN: Yours of the 6th instant is received. There aro many things in the present license law which do not command my approval as a citizen, bat the question which you present can only be considered by mu as a matter of law. I bavc bad occasion previously to ex? amine the same point, und I am of the opinion that under the language of the license Act yon will be required to pay the liconse fee of $25 on account of your agent who goes out to soil by sample or solicit orders, in addition to the tux you have already paid as merchants. Any question which any who feels himself aggrieved wishes to make can be made before the courts, but I do not feel authorized to disregard what seems to me to be the plain language and mean? ing of the Act. Very rospuotfully, your obedient servant, D. H. CHAMBERLAIN, Attorney-General. A Washington telegram of Sunday says: "A special conference which wus hold at tho State Department yesterday, between the President, Secretary of Stute, and Messrs. Harlan, Patterson and Morton, of the Senate, and General Banks, of tho House Committee on Fo? reign Affair.*, on the correspondence over tho consequential claims feature of tho American case, shows that while England has not absolutely rejected the proposition made by tbis Government to Bettie the matter outside of the Ge? neva board, she docs not exactly see how a settlement is to be accomplished to be made binding between tho two Govern? ments, except by a supplemental treaty, or in some form not yet proposed. In other words, Great Britain does not con? cede that the United States withdraws the indirect damage claims from all ne? gotiation. The qaestion as to whether this Government will adhere to or abso? lutely abandon euch claims, therefore, remains an open one, and the prospect of the success of the treaty is not so bright aa it was."
