COLUMBIA. S. C. Saturday Morning, May ll, 1872. Ttoc Political Field. There was never before in onr expe? rience, on the eve of a Presidential elec? tion, each a confused and uncertain status of political parties as is manifested at the present time. The old stereotyped linea that hedged in the two great parties of the country, and kept them asunder, are plainly being broken from point to point, and there is Bet about a commin? gling of forces so promiscuous that it is impossible to judge with any approaoh to certainty where exactly the line of de? marcation will bo drawn, or on which side the larger part of tho masses will be found in November next. The Bepublioan party is cleft fairly in two, to start with. What the liberals ?nay lack ia the DU rub er of their follow? ers, is fully counterbalanced by tho HU perior ability, earnestnesss, integrity und influence of their leaders. Theraukand fife of the Bepublioan party, liko that of ?11 other political parties, does not give mach thought to political doctrines and policies until their attention is oallod to them in tho oonduot of the aativass. When Tr a m.'b nil, Schurz and other libe? ral Republican leaders shall tako the stump and bring homo to the minds of the people the defects and dangers of Grant's rule, and explain to them thu oauses which brought liberal Republi? canism into being, and the spirit that animates its action, there will bo an ac? cession to its ranks of thousands daily. Bat there must be no fear of the De mooraey to ooaateraot the lessons of re .conciliation and a return to constitu? tional governmeut. Partisan zeal and tthe bitter animosities of the ?er have to <a great extent steeled the hearts of the Northern Republicana against the Demo? cratic party. Its anti-war record cripples its usefulness for good with tho masses at the North. They aro in accord, tho larger part of the North, with the senti? ments and principles of the Democratic -porty as new held; but the prejudices of .the past cannot easily be overoome, espe? cially by the less intelligent classes. They stickle at a name, and that which they would heartily support when advo? cated by liberal Republicans, they would not stomach if presented under Demo? cratic colors. This liberal Bepublioan movement is Abe simple, natural and proper instru? mentality to effect a genuine, general and enduring reconciliation between the sadly eatranged States of the Union. The war was brought on by the antago? nisms of the Bepublioan and D?mocratie parties, and though during its progress ?he whole people of the North united .under the rallying cry of the "Union," ?co battle for its preservation, the original .canse of the quarrel was never entirely iost sight of. As long as tho Govern mont is controlled by either one of these -original parties to the quarrel, there is but little hope of their poet strife being -so thoroughly hid from view as to afford inviting opportunities for the restoration ?of real fraternal feeling. Some middle ground mast be taken, a mutual advance . 'must bo made and a mutual proffer to .shake hands, and then, like bravo and high-minded combatants, we will only bo the better friends for the "little bout" we have had. This spirit, this noble purpose, is the vitalizing energy of the liberal Republican movement. They, the Republicans, retain their old party name, which is an advantage that may well be accorded them as having got the .better of the fight, but they make the .?rst step forward, and adopt all the es? sential principles now maintained by the Dem ocratio party. It is now left only for the D?mocrate to respond to the friendly proffer thai has been made in the same spirit in which it was made. And then when onee again the best men from both flec? tions are of one mind and unite in the ?effort to purify the Government, to cost from the temples of our liberties the 'accursed money changers that have desecrated them, to restore the Consti? tution to its pristine vigor, and to let th| people and the States enjoy their own again, their labors, must be) crowned with success. God grant tlfat the good .time may soon como, that the people, . North and South,. flinging pff th? shackles of narrow partisanism and sec? tional jealousy, may heartily join foi once in a common endeavor to rescue ?nd preserve the heritage of our oommor . ancestry._ _ The Herald says: Bead in diff?re ul ways we find the initials of the libera nominees to produoo the samo results, thus: H. G.-(Horaoe Greoley.) G. B.-(Grata Brown.) Now, take the. initials to tho left, ut and down, and yon have again H. G (Horace Greeley,) and then take initial to the right and you have again G. B {Gratz Brown.) The fates are at work. It ia a noteworthy twbuto to the prosa that both the candidate for President .nd the candidate for Vice-President on the Cincinnati ticket wore of the press "craft." Mr. Greeley commenced his career as a printer's apprentice. He was then a journey man, and then a publisher aud editor. Governor Brown founded the St. Louis Democrat, and made his re? putation aa ita editor. On the press, every day, more and moro devolves the burden of counsel and direotion in all public and social matters. Independent journalism, fashions legislation, hunts down roguery, and holds up honesty wherever it may be found. ?-??-?

The Financier, in obtaining and publishing this kind of information, is doing a much needed and useful work. * ? ? ?--? - ROBBERT AND EB CAI-H.-On Saturday night last, the store of Mr. Cal. Hunter, at Cold Well, was broken into and robbed jf ? quantity of goods. Mr. Hunter having received sufficient proof as to who were the thieves and where the goods could be found, procured a war? rant for their arrest last Wednesday, and in company with the Deputy Sheriff, Joseph Crawford, and Mr. Charles Bolt, proceeded to the house of one Bob Sar? tor, a colored man, and arrested Bob, his brother Bill and Toney Jeter. After they were arrested, the prisoners turned upon their captors, took their arms from them, and then made their escape. The sheriff procured assistance from the gar? rison, but when they returned, the birds had flown and are still at large. Some of the stolen goods were found, and a colored man, whose name wo did not learn, acknowledged that he and a co? lored woman had taken the remainder of the gooda and hid them, but on search? ing for them, they also had disappeared. [Union Times. JCDOU ORB FOB GOVEBNOR.-The Spar tanburg New Fra wants Judge Orr nomi? nated for Governor. Nail his name to your mast-head, then, and we will join hands with you. Of course, we will have a Bepublioan Governor, and we are in for the best we can get. There ia no man in the party we would rather seo in the gubernatorial chair tban his Honor James L. Orr. We agree with the Era, that with "good, honest, patriotic men in tho Le? gislature, and a man of lurge experience and decided ability at the helm," times will be better, and we hope it will lend its aid in procuring only suah. [Greenville Mountaineer. The Convention of Southern Baptists met in Raleigh, N. G., on tho 10th. There are about 250 delegates in attend? ance, forty-six of whom ure from South Carolina. A preliminary organization waa effected by calling Dr. J. W. M. Williams, of Maryland, to the Chair, in the absence of the former President, Dr. P. H. Null, who is ill at homo. The fol? lowing permanent officers were selected: Dr. James P. Boyce, of South Carolina, President; Rev. J. L. M. Curry, of Vir? ginia, Rev. A. P. Abell, of Georgia, Rev. A. F.

CONTEMPT OF COURT.-A few evenings ago, while Judge Graham was holding the Circuit Court at Orangeburg, Solici? tor E. B. Seabrook became so offensive in his language that Judge Graham felt compelled to commit him to jail for con? tempt of court. He remained in dur? ance for twenty-four hours, wo learn, und at the expiration of that time, upon his refusal to purgo himself of tho con? tempt, Judge Graham suspended him from the list of attorneys. Tho appoint? ment yesterday of Gen. Whipper by Judge Leo as solicitor of the Inferior Court, is understood to bu a result of Mr. Seabrook's suspension. I Charleston News. TUE ENTERPRISE RAILROAD.-Ground was broken yesterday at threo points on East Bay, between Adger's wharf and the foot of Market street, and tho work of laying the track of tho Enterprise Railroad was commenced in earnest. It is understood that the rails are now on their way to this oity, and it is promised that the whole work of laying the track will be oompleted by the 1st of June. I Charleston News. A party of negroes in Sweetwater, Tennessee, the other day, mobbed a man of their color who was acting as an emigration agent. It was reported of him that he sold the negroes he had in? duced to emigrate at $5 a head when he got them farther South. He waa very severely wounded. Several of his as? sailants were afterwards arrested. The New York Herald's defection from loyalty is truly sad. It has taken only threo short days for it to find that "Grant's popularity is declining." The post offioa at Windsor, South Ca? rolina Railroad, has been discontinued. Mail matter for that point should, until further notice, be direoted to Willuton. rj An accordion band has been established in Germantown, Penn.

The Fir? Fiend In New York. About 7.40 thin rooming, aa Capt. Pe? ter Yule, of the Sanitary Squad, was passing through Crosby street, he no? ticed a large column of smoke issuing from the rear portion of the Metropoli? tan Hotel, ana directly over the stage of Niblo's Garden. Seeing nu officer standing against a tree, watching tho smoke, tho- Captain went to him and asked him if he gave an alarm. With perfect nonehalanoe the officer, said no. but he thought there waB a big ?ro inside. Tho alarm was soon after sounded, but upon the arrival of the firemen the flames bad gained great headway. An or tl cr was immediately given to Bound a gono ral alarm, which soon brought tho entire Fire Department on tho ground. They were speedily assigned places and sot to work, whilo a cordon of policemen from the Eighth and Fourteenth Precincts was spread around the block bounded by Broadway und Crosby streets, and Prince and Spring streets, to keep the crowd back. Thu hook and ladder companies got to work, and ns soon as they com? menced tearing down tho burning mnss inside a fork of flam? shot upwards, which they wero unable to withstand, and which drove them back into the street. In a shorter time than it takes to tell, the entire theatre was ono sheet of fl a mo and was soon totally destroyed. The flames soon extended to tho store lately occupied by Helmbold, and the wind drove flying sparks, etc., on ?ve houses on the East side of Crosby airest, setting fire to them. The rear portion of the Metropolitan Hotel also caught fire, aud notwithstand? ing the utmost endeavors of the firemen to stay the progress of the flames, they were soon Hoking up ali in their way. Detective Knsh did nil in his power to Bavo the hotel, as did also several of the other employees who were not too frightened lo work, but all to no purpose. Streams of water were soon pouring into the hotel. - As soon ns the guests learned of tho fire, they began pouring out in endless confusion, women running here and there, too excited to fully dress them? selves. The employees.began gathering up their clothing, etc, and getting out as quick as possible from the buming pile. It is impossible to say what amount of damage will be done, as the fir? is still buming as brightly ns at first. It is rumored that three or fonr fire? men ure missing, and it is thought by their associates that they may have pe? rished in the flames. ? Several of the men have received slight injuries from falling debris, etc. It was reported that thieves were tra? veling through the Metropolitan Hotel, stealing whatever they could lay tbeit hands on, and Captain Irving, with hie force of detectives, have taken poBBes sion of tho place, and are clearing out all who havo not any business there. The theory that some of Stokes' friende set fire to the building is very prcvulont among the spectators. The West wind blew the flames away from the hotel, but endangered the buildings ou the East Bide of Crosby street. The hotel and theatre are owucd by A. T. Stewart. There were 200 guests in the hotel at the time tho fire was discovered, most ol whom wero ia bed. A scene of inde? scribable confusion, amounting almosl to a panie, ensued. Men, women and ohildren rushed about frantically, al! imagining that their lives were in danger, The clerks and attaches ol the note! succeeded in allaying their fears, and ic a short time comparative order reigned again. Tho origin of the firs is an known. The only persons in the theatre at the time the fire was discovered wen John Weatherstone, Paul Serini and Ed ward Quigley. Mr. Weatherstone is thc head gus mun of the Grand Opera House Ho had been sent by Mr. Cole, of tbt Opera House, to arrange the gas for tlx spectacle of "Lalla Rookh," which bac been in preparation for some time, ant which was to havo boon presented to night for the first time. Mr. Weatherstone thus described tb? breaking out of tho fire. He said: "J was in the theatro fixing tho foot-lights. Paul Serini, the assistant gas mau, une Edward Quigley were assisting me. A1 half-past 7 o'clock, I heard a kind o: crackling noise over head. I looked ur to seo whero the noise came from, nut discovered firo extending from tho rig ging loft to tho dome, in a place when firo is never used for any purpose what ever. I immediately attached the ti rt bo so and tried to reach tho firo, but tin stream would not reach, and in an incredi blj short timo the flames had complete!] enveloped the dome of the building In the meantime, I sent the janitor tc sound the fire alarm. Before the fire men arrived, tho gas border and pros oeniam drop fell to the floor with a tre mondons crash. Finding that we conk do nothing more, we tried to save thi wardrobe, but our efforts were unavail ing. Mr. Jarrett, ono of tho lessees of tin theatre, seemed the least interested per son present. When Bu per in tond en Kelso addressed Mr. Jarrett, expressing bis sympathy, the latter smiled and said "Oh, I'm all right. The wardrobe is in sured for 810,000 which will oover los; fully." Over thirty years ago, William Niblc opened a large boarding-house and gar den on the present site, whioh soon be came one of the principal resorts of tin city. He was formerly proprietor of th? celebrated Bank Coffee House, corner o William and Wall. The fairs of th? American Institute were held at the Gar deu for several years. Some time af to tho present buildings were erected; tin property was purchased by A. T, Stew art. Among the earliest performance nt the theatre were tho famed Rave Troupe. Mr. Edwin Forrest filled suvo ral 8U0C088?ul engagements. Over tho billiard room on Princo stree waa formerly a large concert hall und bal room. Balls wero frequently given Caere and Hooley's Minstrels, for a time, gave negro minstrel concerts with success. Tho Leland Brothers were proprietors cf the Metropolitan Hotel before A. T. Stewart. Tho present lesses of the theatre are Mes3rs. Jarrett & Palmer. Tweed had a lease of the theatre, bat np to the breaking np of the Tammany ring it was transferred to other parties. [New York Mail) Clh. -. TUE BOTTOM BAIII ON Tor, SURE.-A onse occurred in this town a few days ugo, practically illustrating tho truth of the significant rural assertion whioh we have placed at tba head of this article. A respectable planter of this County was arrested upon some frivolous charge made nguiust him by a freedman, and taken before his sable majesty Qolden Foster. According to the almost uni? versal rule of this dispenser of more trial than justice, a bond waa required. On lookiug around tho room, our friend could ?co none but colored people-moat of them his own employees. One of them had formerly belonged to him, and presuming on tho old iriendship that onco existed between them. Mr. B. asked Jeff, if he would go on his bond, to which ho readily assented, signed the bond, for S2U0, we think, and sot his old master free. Tho beat of the joke is, you could not collect 820 from J efl', if the bond was forfeited. lu this connection, we will givo a quaint but pointctl remark mudo by a humorous friend. Ho said: "I elon't caro muoh about the bottom rail being on top, if it was not for tho el-d splin? ters. They stick like the devil and hurt." I Union Timi?, CALIFORNIA. CROPS.-There has never bceu a time in the history of California when the indications of largo crops were so general ns at present. A vast area is planted with grain, and the recent op? portune rains are extremely favorable to an enormous yield. The best authori? ties in tho State estimate the wheat crop at from 30,000,000 to 35,000,000 bushels; this is from ten to fifteen million bushels more than the yield of any previous year. The nun uni ratio of the increase of the vineyards hns been for the last three yoars 45 per oont. ; allowing the increase of this season to bo only 30 per ceut. over last, the product will Le 7,800,000 gallons of wine, and 280,000 gallons of brandy; to tbis may be safely added table grapes to the value of 8800, 000. The wool increase is set down at 30,000,000 pounds, whioh is likely to be considerably exceeded. These figures prove conclusively the prosp?rons condi? tion of California, aud indicate the rapid strides tho young State is making to the first ranks of wealth and importance in the Union. A BRUTISH MAN.-The Americas Re? publican, of the 7th, publishes the fol? lowing almost incredible account of an at mei ty committed in Webster County: We have been informed that Ferdi? nand Spann, of Webster County, on Sa? turday night last, hung his wifo, who had but one leg, and ran off with a girl who was living in bis family. Tho body of the unfortunate woman wau found in bcd, aud a plow line near by with some of her hair twisted about it, plainly showing that it had" beon used for thc diabolical purpose. After committing the deeel, Spaun took to the swamps near his residence, ns indicated by his tracks. Tho girl (whose name oyr informer did not give) had also disappeared, with all her clothing, and it is generally sup? posent by their neighbors that they hung tho old woman and eloped together. THE IMPORTS OF DRY GOODS.-The Daily Bulletin says: "The imports of dry goods at New York during the month of April show a very small ina ease over those of the corresponding month lust year. The entries for consumption are somewhat less than during that period, whilo the amount entered for warehousing shows an increase of nearly Si,100,000. The total imports during tho month were 811,231,707. against Sll.0G2.459 in 1871. Tho stock in bond has been increased 8300,000 during the month, whilo dur? ing the same period last year tho stock waa reduced 8200,000. The demand at I that time was moro active than now, aud I tho high rato of gold premium at pre? sent has also had the effect of restricting tho withdrawals to the requirements of tho trade. EXCURSION TO ST. AUGUSTINE AND THE ST. JOHN'S B?TER.-The splendid and well-appointed steamer Dictator, Captain I L. M. Coxetter, will make a delightful voyage, starting from her pier in this ; city on Tuesday, the 2lst instant.

On hoing interviewed by the New York Herald reporter, ho said the sources of the Nilo were pretty mach in the same place as they need to be. President Grant's newspapers, disco? vering that the nomination nf Horace Greeley is "ludicrous," are all laughing. Tho exercise, however, ?B confined to the wrong side of tho mouth. The Bav. Gavazzi, preaching in Hep worth's pulpit on Sunday, spoke of tho rapid progret-B of Protestantism in Italy. To-day she eau boast of 40,000 Protest? ants.

THAT'S THE WAT THE MONEY GOES. They say that Grant has reduced the na? tional debt $200,000,000 daring his ad? ministration. Yet the records of the , Treasury Department do not show it, nor do the records of the War Depart? ment show what has become of the mil? lions of dollars seized or turned into that department during the last five years. In the House at Washington an inrjniry bas been raised ns to what haa become of the vast sums of money paid into tho War Department, and to know why and how that Department has ex I pended $105,500,000 in excess of all ap Sropriations within the past five years, 'here must be something very rotten in that Denmark when a single bureau can pay out of the United States Treasury, in the time named, so much money in excess of the amount voted it.
