COLUMBIA. S. C. Tuesday Morning, May 14, 1872. Brightening Prospect (or th* South. It is comforting to know that whatever may be the reanlt of the approaching Presidential campaign; whatever shape the present confused political mass may assume; whether Greeley, or Qrant, or somebody else, be tho next President, tho attitude of the General Government towards the South will be ohanged to siro of more or IOBR justice and concilia? tion. There are many complaints against Grant's administration, many errors and .' abuses, whioh loudly call for rectification and relief; His shameless use of the power and* patronage of hiB high office to advanee the private fortunes of his relations, by appointing them to lucra? tive positions, and for whioh, too, many of' them were totally unfitted, the Cus? tom House frauds in New York, the Santo Domingo job, the miserable bun? gle-whioh has been made in the diplo? matic negotiations with England, in re? gard to the Geneva arbitration, and the undignified and mortifying position in whioh this country has been placed. All these things havo oombined to render Grant and his administration unpopular, and would, if Grant were a oivilian, and had to depend upon his management of the Government since 1868 to determine bis claims for re-election, be iiuffioient to ensure his defeat. But that which has more than anything else aroused the disaffection of the people of the North towards the Administration, is the policy et bate that has been pursued towards the South, the high-handed unconstitu? tional measures that have been adopted, the trampling upon the saored rights of the States, and upon the personal liber? ties of the people in the unlawful sus? pension of the writ of habeas corpus. If all this had onded well, it might have been winked at and allowed to pas*. If the usurpations of Congress and the despotic acts of President Grant had been exorcised in the interests of good government and to the advancement of the material welfare of the oppressed section, tho unwarrantable means need would probably have been exoused on account of the good ends which were effeoted. But when, after all, it is made manifest that reconstruction is a failure; when all the power of tho General Go? vern ment has been used to sustain the most corrupt and worthless State officials that ever cursed any country, and who oonld never have scoured their oppor? tunities of fraud and plunder bnt for the sympathy and direot aid of tho central power at Washington; when, after all the violations of the Constitution, and the extraordinary and oppressive Acts of Congress, there resulted nothing but mis-government, publia thefts, financial ruin and industrial prostration at the South-the people of the North, as tho truth becomes known to them, torn in horror and indignation from the wreck that has been wrought, and demand an immediate change in the policy of tbe Government. The key-note of the Libe? ral movement has been the wretched and alarming condition into which Radical leoonstruotion has placed the South, and its looks to reconciliation to bring relief, It was this feeling that created the "ground swell" which gave such a mighty impulse to the Cincinnati Convontiou. It is the perception of this feeling, the recognition of this spirit of friendship and sympathy for our suffering people, which has brought forth such a hearty responso from the South in favot ol Greeley and Brown. Aguin, at the North, tho grateful acknowledgments which wo havo made of the kindly inten? tions-expressed for us at Cincinnati, both rn the platform and in the candidates, has re-acted upon tho people there, and boneo we see the rapid progress whioh Greeley and Brown are making in public esteem. The leaders of the Grant faction have began, too, to note the drift of public sentiment, and are beginning already tc show signs of shifting their course ac? cordingly. The New York Times, whioh has beer the bittereit Radical organ in the Union, now lays olaim to being the first papei that demanded amnesty, and says foi General Giant that ho has only beet carrying out the policy of Congress, ai hm promised' todo, and would, doubtless, continue to- carry ont that policy "if i became more generous to the South.' We have no doubt that he will, ant therefore we say that even should Gran be re-elected there is a prospect of bette things for the South. Still weoanno forget to whom the credit is duo for th i change of taotios on the part of - th< Granites. It lt the bold stand that ha been taken by Soharz, Greeloy am Gratz Brown against tho "policy o bate," and the responsive ohord whiol they have awakened in the hearts of th people, tbat has opened the eyes of on enemies and caused them to tack their sails moro to the popular breeze. A COMET SENSATION.-It may not be generally known that some scientific men have predicted, and stick to the prediction, that a comet will strike the earth next August and play the mischief with the Cincinnati and all the other nominations that may be made. Some of the European astronomers say that they have seen the unwelcome visitor, and that it is of "extraordinary size and truly fearful." On the other baud, Professor Donatis, of the Boyal Ob? servatory, of Florence, Italy, denies that thorn is any comet whatever in sight just now, much less one that is rushing upon the earth with terrible velocity, an assurance which will quiet nervous people. He declares, however, that there is a oomet named Biela, whioh, if on time, ooght to make its appearance in August; but there is no danger whatever that it will interfere with the ooming campaign. A CLERGYMEN'S INSURANCE LEAGUE. In accordance with a resolution adopted at a preliminary meeting last Thursday, a general meeting of laymen of the Pro? testant Episcopal Church was held in St. Philip's Church, Charleston, on Sa? turday afternoon, immediately after the adjournment of the Diocesan Conven? tion, and an association was organized, which will have for its object the secur? ing of a sum of money for the family of any clergyman of the State who may die whilo canonically connected with the dio? cese. Articles of agreemout and a con? stitution were adopted, thus formally organizing "the Brotherhood of tho Protestant Episcopal Church in the Dio? cese of South Carolina;" and ibo follow? ing officers were elected in conformity with the constitution: John Hanckel, President; A. H. Hayden, vice-Presi? dent; W. C. Courtney, Secretary; Evan Edwards, Treasurer. Advisory Board J. B. Kershaw, Camden; W. H. Parker, Abbeville; Thomas Frost, Charleston; B. W. Shand, Union; G. Lamb Buist, Charleston. COTTON.-The value of the raw ootton consumed in England during the calen? dar year 1871 was $197,549.120. The amount was 3,495,000 bales. When this ootton was manufactured, its value had inoreased to $493,476,880. In tho hands of the manufacturer, therefore, a value of 3296,917,960, or about 150 per cent., was added. A cotton crop, such as the South produoed in 1870, (say 4,200,000 bales,) was worth in England 3235,200,000. After it had passed through tho hands of manufacturers, 3367,000,000 was added to its value, and the goods sold for 3592,200,000. The 1,000,000 bales which tho North con? sumed, owing to the tariff, WAS increased in value fully $180,000,000, or perhaps more. The whole ootton crop of the South, in tho year 1870, when made into goods, was sold for something like 3700,000,000. If, then, manufactories were establisbod in the cotton-growing States to manufacture the entire crop, our exports would bo larger than the total exports from the United States at present. In other words, they would be worth about thirty dollars to every man, woman and child in the South, over and ab ivo the value of the raw material itself. * <m ??? The Trustees of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary are in daily ses? sion in Baleigb, N. C., discussing the question of removing the seminary from Greenville, S. O. There are several pro? positions before them: Kentucky offer? 3300,000 on oondition that it is removed to that State, and Louisville and Bussel villo are competing for it; Tennessee offers 3100,000 from tho State at large, and all that can be raised at any location in tho State to whioh the seminary may bo removed under this proposition; Memphis offers 3200,000; Nashville 360,000, and the buildings of the State University; and Chattanooga 3150,000, which has been actually put into good hands. Atlanta is also competiog, but her proposition is not yot in form. SUDDEN DEATH.-On Saturday after? noon, a little after 5 o'clock, Mr. Theo? dore D. Clancy, of the firm of T. D. Clan? cy & Go., Ship Chandlers, East Bay, died very suddenly at his store. He was titting in a ohair when a severo spell of coughing came npon him, oauting a violent hemorrhage, from whioh he soon expired. When he waa taken, friends ran to bit assistance, and physicians were called io, bat nothing could be done to avert the result whioh followed the attack.-Charleston Courier. CRUEII DEATH.-The body of an un? known colored ohild, about a year old, was picked np off Bennett's Mill on Sa? turday, in a horribly mutilated state. An inquest was held, and the verdict of the jury was "murder." . {Charleston Courier. A Chinaman in California, who was Unable to speak a word of English, was accused of receiving stolen goads and was hung up to make him confess from whom he obtained thom, has been made permanently insane by tho outrage. The first blackberries of tho season made their appearance in Charleston Saturday. THE EPISCOPAL CONVENTION.-The Convention mot pursuant to adjourn? ment. Tue Committee on Constitution and Canons reported a proposed revised constitution, canons, roles of order, Sec., and moved that they be printed in the journal for consideration nt the next Convention, which was agreed to. Hov. Mr. McCollough moved that, inasmuch as the action of two successive Conven? tions is requirod to change the constitu? tion, the proposed alterations be passed upon now. These wore taken up, and all agreed to, except one, requiring deputies to B0c n rent io 3 to be communi? cants. The vote upon this .was taken by orders, and was laid on the table. The Committee on Finance presented an amended report, which was adopted. It assesses each Parish a sum equivalent tu fifteen cents for each communicant, to be paid by July 1, to defray expenses of the General Convention. The same committee also reported "That they have, 86 instructed by r?solution of last Convention, inquired into tho practica? bility of establishing a Diocesan Society for insuring the lives of the clergy of the Diocese, believing the object hud in view not only practicable but highly de? sirable, they recommended that such an association be formed, and appeal to the churchmen of the Diocese to give it their hearty support. The Committee on an Episcopal Resi? dence was continued, to report to tho next Convention. Rev. F, Brnoe Davis moved that tho Treasurer of tho Board of Missions pro? curo 500 missionary boxes and distribute the same among tho parishes, to ho used by tho clergy in collecting offerings in behalf ol Dioocsan Missions, which offerings shall be transmitted quarterly to the Treasurer of the Board of Mis? sions, orto the Bishop of the Diocese. Motion agreed to. Mr. Henry E. Young moved to post pono the proposed canon "of vestry aud wardens," with all amendments and sub? stitutes therefor, to the next Convention, wbioh was agreed to. On motion of Rev. P. F. Stevens, Resolved, That this Convention sadly but heartily respond to the sentiments expressed in the Bishop's address, in re? gard to our heavy loss in tho death of the Right Rev. Thomas F. Davis, our late Iiishop, and that we do hereby adopt, as our expressions of feeling, the resolu? tions of our Standing Committee. That a Committee of clergy and laity be ap? pointed to unite with the Memorial Asso? ciation of Grace Church, Camden, to erect at that church a suitable monu? ment to bis beloved memory.

Meetings of ihe Board of Missions wore appointed to be held during tho year at Aiken and Greenville. On motion of Mr. James Davis, Grace Church, Camden, was appointed for the meeting of the next Convention. Thc Treasurer presented account ol receipts from mite chests, amounting to 8298.18. Tho Convention adjourned sine die. [Charleston Courier, 13//*. THE LUTUEKAN GENERAL STOOD.-The paper on systematic beneficence, pre? sented by Rev. J. D. Shirey, was refer? red to a special committee. The report of Messrs. Duffie ?? Chap? man, publishers, was referred to a spe? cial committee. A paper wns presented by the chair? man of tho delegation of tho South Caro? lina Synod, earnestly affirming thal Synod's undiminished confidence in thc Lutheranism and efficiency of this body, and expressing tho conviction that itt perpetuation is a necessity, ?c. Tin paper was, on motton, ordered to be re ceived and put on record. Rev. W. Berley, on behalf oi UH South Carolina delegation, submitted certain propositions looking to tho col lection of funds for the support of i theological professor, which, on motion were received and commended to thc favorable consideration of thc othei delegates.

J. Baohman, D. D., LL.D. at this convention, and vie fervently implore apon him in his age and infirma ties Ueavon's kindest benedictions. [Cliarleslon Courier, 13th. WHAT A SOTJTHHBN LOYALIST SAW. The experiences of "Southern loyalists' are among the most remarkable pheno mena of these latter days. One now ii New York heard the Greeley guns th other day, and straightway oommani oated his impression to a Grant memhe of Congress thus: "My mind carried m bartk to the years of 1861-'62, when saw better men than Mr. Greeley hanged shot, starved, whipped and brandel with a red-hot iron on the naked hip fo refusing to fight against the Governmen of the United States, all of which wa done by order of Jefferson Davis. This was intended ns a shot at Greeley who wont on Mr. Davis* bond, aud ma be considered a fair specimen of tho lie that are to bo used by the Graut mc against anybody who may dnro to b( como a candidate in opposition to the; master. DEPUTY MARSH AL HENDRICKS IN LIM? BO.-A correspondent of the Charleston Courier writes as follows from Atlanta, Ga., May ll: Deputy Marshal Hendricks, unfortu? nately for his comfort, returned to this oity upon nnothor kidnapping expedi? tion a few days since, and arrested Tho? mas Hancock, a young man formerly of Spartanburg County, who left that Coun? ty some six months since, and for the last fonr months has been a clerk hero for Messrs. Ki ser & Co. Tho warrant under which ho arrest ed this yoong man was drawn against Wesley Scott and Joshua Shears, whose names were sorutched out and Hancock's name in? terlined. It was brought out in the evi? dence that Hendricks und Norris stated, after tho arrest, to Hancock, that ho would not have arrested him if Scott had not got away. Col. li. A. Alston, known familiarly about Charleston as "Hob," was called in us counsel for Han? cock, in connection with General Car? lington, who is familiar with tho hand? writing of Daniel Horlbeck, United States District Clerk of South Carolina. He pronounced the signature to tho bench warrant a forgery, aud not Mr. Horlbeck's writing, when a telegram was sent him to Charleston. Mr. Horlbeck promptly answered that uo warrant bad been issued from that court against Tho? mas Hancock. Iustautly u warrant was issued for Hendricks, who wus arrested for false imprisonment und kidnapping. An investigation was held this afternoon, which has been continued until next Thursday, in order that evidence may be obtained from Charleston convicting bim of forgery. General darlington's denunciation of the Government, both Federal and State, in South Carolina, was a grand effort, which made oven Hendricks wince. Hendricks gave bail, his security being a United States Mar? shal. This kidnapping official, if he succeeds in getting clear, which is very doubtful, will probably not 6ail in this direction again, but hunt a moro conge? nial clime. This is bis third expedition into Georgia, and it will probably bc bis last. ? # *> - TUB MASSES OF THE DEMOCRACY FOR GREELEY AND BROWN.-A New York let? ter of the Oth instant, to tho Baltimore Sun, says: The assembling of tho Democratic Conservative National Committee in this city, yesterday, brought with it quito a number of the leading representative men from all parts of the country, and, consequently, created a most decided in? terest in the Presidential question among all classes-citizens and visitors. Of course, every shade of opinion was ex? pressed at the hotels and other places of 1 public resort, and it was conceded by all j that the future of the country, for weal or woe, would depend almost exclusively upon the notion of the Democratic Con? servative Convention, now determined to be held in your city on July 0, next. Whilst many of the extreme Demo? crats still entertain a hops that an op? portunity may be presented for the no? mination and election of a straight-out Democratic national ticket, yet even they admit that an extraordinary develop? ment of sentiment in the ranks of the Democracy itself hus taken placo, aud is still rapidly growing, in favor of tho platform and candidates of the Cincin? nati Liberal Republican Convention. \ The interchange o' opinion cf a majority of Democrats now here from other sec? tions of tho country iudicates very clearly that tho mass of the people com? posing (be Democratic Conservative party accept the platform and candidates of tho Cincinnati Convention as the only true and proper solution of our national political troubles; and so decided and outspoken is this feeling, more especially in tho Southern and South-western States, that, added to the large Liberal Republican vote already existing in those States, it is apparent that the running of a Radical, a Liberal Rcpublioan, and a third and straight-out Democratic ticket would result in tho success of tho Radi? cal administration party in nearly all, if not all, of those States. An active supporter of the nominees of the Cincinnati Convention has boen canvassing among prominent Democrats in Washington to find out the probabili? ty of its endorsement by tho Democratic National Convention. Tho Hon. James i Brooks, of New York, who has been au active participant in the politics of the country for moro than thirty years, and has a coolness of judgment that entitles his opinions to great respect, saya that in bis opinion; Mr. Greeley will receive in tho Democratic National Convention three-fourths of tho Now England dele? gates, all of Now York, the greater part of New Jersey and Pennsylvania, several delegates from Ohio and Indiana, all of Illinois and Michigan, a part of Wiscon? sin, all of Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska, Oregon, California, Kentucky and Ten? nessee, and all the South, except a por? tion of Georgia, making more than three fourths of the Convention. He expeots Horace to be warmly opposed by dele? gates from Ohio, Indiana and Georgia, bot by gentlemen whose views are gene? rally extreme. There may be, he thinks, a rupture in tho Convention, but its in? fluence will only strengthen Mr. Greeley among the Republicans. SUDDEN DEATH.-Last Friday after? noon, at 4 o'olook, Dr. John M. Miller died of hemorrhage of the lungs, at his father's house in Beech Island. He had been out in the Holds and had just re? turned to the house when the hemor? rhage came on.

WHAT GAS SHOULD COST.-Tbe Cin? cinnati hospital, for the year ending March 1, 1871, paid the gas company of that oity $2,900 for gas consumed. In the following July, the hospital con? structed gaB works of its own at a cost of $2.000. It has since then been burn? ing gus of its own manufacture. The result is that by this process it will pay for its gas works and gas in one year with less money than the gas alone cost tho company for the same period. Every bushel of coal used is weighed, and every other expense for material is taken carefully into account in making this es? timate. Fifty-seven cents per 1,000 feet is the present cost of the gas to the hos? pital. This is with coal at twelve cents per bushel of seventy-two pounds. The estimate does sot include anything for extra labor, because it involves no ex? pense on that score, as the duty of at? tending to the retorts bas been added to the dnties of the fireman who has charge of tho heating apparatus. It includes the oost of coat for heating the retorts, and does not deduct the value of the coke and the residium. It is found that one pound of Pittsburgh or Eanawha coal will make four oubio feet of gas. No matter what examples we cite or what experience we consult, the same result is reached continually and the same conviction follows. CHARACTERISTIC.-Mr. E. V. Smalley, the able and well-known correspondent of the New York Tribune, who has for a series of years occupied the position as clerk to the House Committee on Milita? ry Affairs, was notified a day or two since that he mnst resign, or be resigned to dismissal, because it was not deemed proper that "an em ploy eo of the enemy (the Tribune) should hold any position nuder or receive any emolument from, the Administration." Mr. S., conse? quently, wrote a valedictory to the com? mittee, and gracefully retired to his seat in the reporters' gallery.

It arises from a cold settled in the throat, from Ca? tarrh extending to these parts, from Scrofu? lous affections, and from severe nee of the voioo. The irritation from this latter cause commences in the larynx and glottis, which are the organs of the voice, and, extending downwards, produces hoarseness, ooughing and spitting mucuons matter, sometimes mixed with blood. It is chiefly dangerous from its tendency to spread into the lungs, and terminate in consumption.
