COLUJN?BIA, S. C. Saturday Morning, May 18,1872.1 Tho Democratic Party to Spilt. There are serions indications that the approaching Presidential campaign will result in a division of the D?mocraties party and its final disruption. It ie ead, in some respects, to contemplate the col? lapse of an organization with whoso record is linked so much that is great and glorious in the past of our country, and with the name of which the lives and genius of so many of onr noblest, purest and most gifted statesmen of days gone by are inseparably connected. Our Calhoun, MoDnffle. Hayno, and other illustrious sons bf South Carolina were Demoorats. Their mighty intellects sus? tained, their virtues adorned the party. In some way political parties become personified, are looked npon as real and distinct entities, and become" invested with the oharaoteristics, and command, in a great measure, that honor and esteem whioh attach to the memory of their greatest champions. It is this sert of indefinable sentimental regard whioh creates a pang of pain when one thinks of the death, of an old and, in its day, uBoful political party. But reason tells us that there is not muoh cause for grief in the dissolution of the Demooratio party. Neither it nor its old competi? tor, the Republican party, belong to this day; and it is well that they should bc pushed aside to make way for the fresh and vigorous young life of Liberal Republicanism. We should have preferred, however, that it should die a different death from that whioh now threatens it. It was our hope that it wonld quietly, peaceably and with one aooord among its members, glide over and merge itself with the new movement, and impart thereto the impress of its time-honored prinoiples. Such an easy, natural death does not seem to be ia storo for the old Democracy. Those who have hastened her death appear to desire the fiendish pleasure of making her last moments the occasion of wrang? ling, dispute and dissension. The New York World was among tho first, and ' continued till the announcement of Mr. Greeley's nomination, to be one of the most earnest advocates of a coalition of the Demoorats with the Liberal Republi * cane. The entire Demooratio press, with the exception of the Atlanta Swi Mr. Alexander Stephens' paper-favored the idea. This combined and persistent oourse of the press had its effect upon the Democratio masses. They quickly ? learned to look with a friendly eye upon the Republican reformers, ol whom not the least prominent was the honest old farmer of Chappaqua. They became convinced that the only hope of rescuing the country from thc military centralism to which it is drift? ing under Grant, and the corruption and extravagance whioh pervades every department to Buoh an alarming extent, waB to look for realization in the Cin? cinnati Convention. They were pre? pared to receive favorably any honest nominations that might be made, and they have hailed with unmistakable sa? tisfaction the name of Eoreee Greeley. The World, whioh so industriously as Bisted in paving the way for his recep? tion by the Democracy, now turns upoc bim, and, without rhyme or reason that would not apply equally well to any other Republican, demands or urges thc repudiation of Horace Greeley, and thc nomination of a straight-out Democrats tioket. This is inconsistent and unfair to say tho least of it, and accords so wei with the manifest wishes of the Grant ites, that the suspicion will intrude iteol that the World is playing- Grant's hanc for him. The Demooratio party was vir ?nally pledged by the party press amoog the leaders of whioh is the Worh -to suatain the liberal Republicans, i the latter wonld inaugurate the flgh with Grant, and oonduot it upon prinoi pies not antagonistic, to essential doo trines of Demooratio faith. This tho: have done, beyond all kind of question and for the Democracy to desert then now wonld not be acting in good faith even though we had no other induce ment to do so. Tho World and its Bel mont olique will persist, we donbt not in opposing Greeley, sod will probabl; succeed in persuading a small wi?g o the party to make a nomination,.! t?hi will bring a division and end in the vio lent death bf the party, for tho South i so overwhelmingly in favor of support ing Greeley and Gratz Brown, that i will ?ot vote with anything like nnani mity for Demooratio nominees. At beat, it wonld be almost a hopelei oontest between Grant and a Demoorati opponent, and when the party of th latter is so disorganized as it now is, b the Cincinnati nomination, to make th fight ie the sheerest folly. Other S tat ci in whioh there are large Demooratio mt jorities, may join in the vain endeavoi but Sooth Carolina will have nothing to do with it. What we wish is relief from carpet-bag misrule, whioh is - rapidly rushing our State on to ruin and beg gary. To get thia relief there must be a concert of action between the citizens, of both oolors. The bl auks will not nnite in favor of a Demooratio Presi? dent. The whites will not unite in favor of Grant, who has identified himself with our rascally State Government. Greeley is our only hope. Ho is honest abd kindly disposed, which is all the white people care for at this time. He is, furthermore, a stan nob and tried Re? publican and the unflinching advocato of freedom and equal rights to the colored people, whioh is all that they should ask for. Tile Election of Senator Kerry. Another strong proof of the crnmbling of old party lines and of tho growth of Liberal Republicanism, is manifested in the re-election of Mr. Perry to tho United States Senato by the Legislature of Connecticut. Mr. Ferry has filled the position with great credit to himself aud satisfaction to his constituency, but ho was pot an Administration member. In the late gubernatorial contest, he stumped the State for tho Republican oandidate, but it was noted of him that he had no praises for Grant. The usurpations of the latter, the infringe? ment upon the sacred rights of tho States and the corrupt extravagance of his administration, fonnd no apologist in Mr. Ferry. His Republicanism and his marked, abilities and spotless integ? rity were unquestioned, but he had the perverseness to believe that Grantism and Republicanism were not synonymous terms. This singularity on Mr. Ferry's part waa not appreciated by the ultra Radi? cals, who, partly through blind hero worship and partly through tho recipro? city of kindred natures, adore the figure? head that now adorns the White House, and a caucus was hold and a Col. Hawley fixed upon as a Radical better suited tc their tastes to represent the State in the United States Senate. Itr has alwaye been the custom to return a Senator to his seat for a second term at least, unless he has betrayed public confidence in some way, whioh could not be charged against Mr. Ferry; and some of hie friends and Liberal Republicans deter? mined not to submit to the dictum of c party caucus. The Republicans had a considerable majority on joint ballot, but by the una? nimous support of the Democrats, the Republican friends o! Mr. Ferry scoured his re-election by a handsome vote. Party oauouses are iniquitous organs ol corruption and wrong, and we are glad to see this outbreak against their thral dom. Throngh their operation the ab? solutism of a numerical majority is in? tensified. If Senator Ferry's friends had submitted to the decree of the part} caucus, the result would have been thal a minority of the Legislature would have chosen the Senator. MOSBY AND Git ANT.-A private lette] from the gallant Viaginian, Colonel Johr S. Mosby, is published, in whioh refer ence is made to a reported oonversatioi between Colonel Mosby and Presiden Grout. Referring to that report, Colone M. says: "I see I am reported as say inf to General Grant that I would snppor him 'even if a Democrat was nominated against him.' I do not caro ab ou coming out In the papers to oorreot this but I hope my friends will not thin] tliat I said any snob thing. On the oon trary, I expressly told General Gran that I would support the Democratic nominee; but as between him and Gree ley, I was in favor of the South goini for the one that would offer ns tho mos generous terms-?. e., that tho Philadel phia Convention must ont-bid Cinoin nati." _ _ A GOOD PJQATFORM.-In a recent issn of the New York Tribune, Horace Gree ley used these words: "The biggest thing before the peopl is the question of honest men agains thieves. What the country needs ant imperatively demands is a reform in th administration of Government." These words were penned by Horao Greeley before he was nominated by th Convention at Cincinnati. They are th words of soberness and truth; and the; constitute a good platform of themselvet DSATH OP AK AGED CITIZEN.-We r< grot to record the death of one of on old and highly respected oitizens, Mi Nathaniel Barksoale, whioh occurred a his reeidenoe in this County, on last Se turday morning. Mr. Barksdale ha< lived to the advanoed age of seventy-si years. His death will be regretted b all who knew bim. [Laurensville Herald. The Southern trains into Memphis ar detained every trip by the immense nun: bers of caterpillars blooking up th tracks. The devastations have bee fearful. Mrs. Horaoe Greeley and her tw danghters are now at Angouleme, Franoi MB. EDITOR: Oat oom omni ty will be pleased to learn that Messrs. E. J. Hale & SOD, of New York, are making ready to isaae a volume ol the poems of Tim? rod, with a memoir. I have the infor? mation from the publishers themselves; and nm farther advised that subscription lists are to be opened immediately in various oities of the South; so that both the admirers of the poet and the friends of the man will have an opportunity of co-opejatiug with tho publishers, who are Southern men, in making the publi? cation a success worthy tho first of oar oountry's poets. At Borne future time, I shall give your renders au account of tho operations of the Agricultural Bureau in Washington, so as to awaken the interest of oar planters in one of the most important institutions in tho United States. At this time I can only indicate, in very brief outline, the scheme introduced and being carried out by Mr. Townsend Glover, the entomologist of the Depart? ment. This scheme embraces not only collections of all insects, animals and fungi that interfere with crop-growing, but also specimens of the crops grown in the several States-grains, textile fabrics, and all other productions. Thc result when completed (should the libe? rality of Congress ever awaken to the importance of the matter) will present a caso for each State in which will bc specimens of that Stato'ai productions in their several stages of preparation for use; full collections of thc animnls, in? sects and other agencies that harm thc crops; and mineralogical specimens, em? bracing soils, subsoils and ores. For ex? ample: The stranger, wishing to emi? grate to South Carolina, would find there specimens of cotton, rice, wheat, corn und all other products of that State, all in several ?tages of manufacturo up to their marketable farm; and eide by side with these, specimens of the boll worm, ru3t, sap-suckers, squirrels, crab-grass, ?cc., kc, which interfere in any way with th9 crops; and with these, speci? mens of soils und fertilizers. With such collection is to be published a book of explanation of all these specimens, their uses, abuses and modes of improvement -these books to form part of tho annual agricultural reports. South Carolina is almost unrepresented there; and there is need of all these things-seeds, grains, growths, and all the rest. Full repre? sentation there would bo promotive of immigration, by affording more readily, than any other way, the specific in? formation needed by the immigrant and tho immigrant agent. J. W. D. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 15, 1872. Living Writers of the South. Edited by the Author of Southland Writers. Claxton, Bernsen & Haffelfinger, Pub? lishers, Philadelphia. We have reviewed with sincere plea? sure this welcome work, a comprehen? sive and impartial gallery of pen-por? traits of our fair Southern writers. We return thanks to both editress and pub? lishers for the useful and elegant volume they have presented to the public. The author, whoBe pseudonym is "Ida Ray? mond," brought out in 1869 a similar work, entitled "Southland Writers," whioh was but the germ of the present volume. "Living Female Writers of the South" embraces a much larger num? ber of writers, and is bound in an ex? quisitely tasteful octavo volume of 5GS pages. It is a matter of wonder to us that the author has been able to collect such a perfect galaxy from every State. In South Carolina, for instance, we have noted only a few omissions. She hns dedicated tho work to four gentlemen, whose assisting labors she acknowledges, most appropriately, in tho following wcrds: "T? John R. Thompson, of Virginin, James Wood Davidson, of South Caro? lina, Hon. W. J. McAdoo, ol Georgia, Charles Dimitry, of Louisiana-a quar? tette of Southern authors who have ever kindly onoournged and judiciously ad? vised tho 'Female Writers of tho South'-this record of them is respect? fully dedicated." Through the medium of this attractive volume "old familiar faces," dear to me? mory, aro brought vividly back to us. Some of these havo passed away forever. Ia her introduction, she tenderly remem? bers those whose voices are hushed in death. And we are made to feel nearer to many whom we havo known and loved through their works only, and whom we aro proud to claim as Southern sisters. We are glad to say that oar own State is not behind in talented women of high literary tastes and aspirations. South Carolina has the third largest number of writers. The two of Colombia's daugh? ters best known to the public, and of whom she is justly proud, are found in their proper plaoes in the gallery. The ohief object of the editress in the publi? cation of this work is the encouragement ot Sonthern talent. She most justly observes, in her preface, that it is not "oreative power" that Southern writers lack, but cultivation and otndy. In her own words, "dillitanteism," the treating of literature as if it were the: amuse? ment of an idle boor, instead of a most S;ravo and serious pursuit, on the right ollowiag of whioh, to a great extent, ?our people's intellectual life depends, has been the bane of Southern literature. She therefore offers the volnme as an in? centive to self-culture end the develop? ment of the genius and talent of the South, as well as a tribute to writers of genuine merit. T. Am LIMB.-The work on this road is being vigorously pushed forward. The bridge over Reedy River is being built, and a temporary traok is to bo laid from tho Greenville and Columbia Railroad depot, for the purpose of transporting iron for laying the traok on this eud of the line.-Greenville Mountaineer. THE POOR SOOTH.-Satan ia repre? sented in the Scriptures aa a very active and unscrupulous enemy. Ho is always on the war-patb, devouring and oon HU Hi? ing. He is a flt prototype of a Radical, The latter ia aa hungry aa unprincipled. He eats up and appropriates all that lies before him. - His jaws are as wide as the mouth ot Vesuvius, and his stomach a? capacious as the continent. He has already consumed and deatroyed for the South over $240,000,000 worth of pro? perty in lees than four years. He has gone from one end of our desolated land -from Virginia to Florida, and from the Atlantic coast to the States that lie be? yond the "father of waters"-and min bas marked his path-way. The destruc? tion of vegetation in Egypt by the locusts was not mnch moro complete than the devastation of this merciless, insatiable enemy in our^ Southern land. To And language terse and comprehen? sive enough to express the devastations of such a cormorant, you must betake yourself to the Bible. Look where you will in North Carolina or Tennessee, in South Carolina or Mississippi, you wit noss tho same terrible results. "That which tho palmer-worm hath left, hath the locust catlin; and that which the locubt hath left, hath the canker-worm eaten; nnd that which the canker-worm hath left, hath the caterpillar eaten." Take tho stutistics of Mississippi, and you will see the frightful waste and de? preciation in tho productive energy and capacity of tho State. Tho negro, under the manipulation of the scalawag, has become too lazy to labor. He now plays the gentleman, and being eminently an imitative beiug, ho copies the manners, and, sad to say, tho morals of his ally und destroyer. Governor Alcorn shows in his message to the Mississippi Legis? lature, that in six Comities, embracing every variety of laud nnd population, tho fulling off in producing ability is" astonishing. Tho value of the farms bas fallen from $20.940,040, in 1800, to ?0,415,101, in 1370. Tho production of cotton bas fallen from ll?.SSG bales, in 1SG0, to 42,830, in 1870. The produc? tion of corn bas fallen from 3,307,140 bushels to 1,150,458 bushels, whilst the swine bas diminished full sixty-five per cent. A like decrease in production ex? tended to all other kinds of crops. Bat mark, whilst this vast falling off in pro? duction was going on, there was a cor? responding increase in the taxes. The poorer they became, the heavier grew the burdens. In 1800, these six Coun? ties paid 3384,008 in taxes; in 1870, they had grown to tba enormous sum of ?2,229,000, and was expected to reach the stupendous snm o? ?3,000,000 by 1871. These figures speak volumes. They tell an alarming story of the villainy and corruption of the Radical party. Be it remembered that these figures are the figures of a Radical-the Governor of Mississippi at the time he made them. We see it stated that the scalawags are about to go upon a fresh raid against tho South. They are also preparing to "ease out" of the embarrassed condition in which they find themselves, by mis? representing and falsifying the statistics of the South. According to the New York World, they have already begun to publish figures to show that the South ia not only miserably poor, but was never otherwise than poor. Tho villains, to rob and min and degrade, and then with the impudence of the dovil to turn around and swear the poor Sonth never had anything!-Raleigh Sentinel. GOLD! GOLD! GOLD!-Abbeville Coun? ty is destined to become the California of South Carolina. Gold if the watch? word of this age. Our County (says the Abbeville Medium) abounds in rieh mine? ral deposits, fine water power and good land, and we are glad that new discove? ries are being made. On Mr. Jacob Miller's plantation, oight miles from Ab? beville, valuable specimens of gold ore have been found, and everything goes to show that tho amount of gold is large. Mr. Miller's plantation is situated on Long Cane Creek, near Little Mountain, and consists of very rich and productive land. Tho mino is abont400 yards from tba croek. The water power is immense, wood is plentiful, the place is easy of access, and it is, in fact, a place well suited to the wants and wishes of the minor. Mr. Miller proposes to prospoct the ground further, and we hope to hear favorable accounts, in a short time, of vast treasures unearthed. A row occurred, on the 12th inst., at Smith's Island, opposito Philadelphia, caused by a rough attacking a peaceable German. Three special officers inter? fered. They each secured a man and took them on a boat to bring across to the city. Their friends followed on the boat, and a fearful fight ensued, in which several men were badly injured and the officers badly used up. When the boat reached the wharf, the assist? ance of other officers was obtained, and after a running fight of three squares through the streets, nine of the gang were captured. Two lads, named Charley Gooding and George Lauderdale, were riding through Winnsboro, on Monday last, on one horse, when the animal became fright? ened and ran off, the saddle-girth broke, and the two lads were thrown to the ground. It is feared that Gooding was fatally injured. It is proposed in England to counter? balance the depletion oaused by emigra? tion from Ireland by introducing swarms of Chinese into the "Gem of the Sea." The subieot is under serious discussion in the Lngliah papers. The news had not reached Tipperary when the mails left. Tho modern Simple Simon is a juve? nile freedman in Petersburg, Va., who fished unsuccessfully for.several hours in a small paddle beneath the town pump. 500 telegrams of congratulation is the pleasant budget received daily by Mr, Greeley. I Xi o o al It o xxx ?. Crrx MATTERS.-The prioe of single oopies of the PHOENIX is five oents. A squad of penitentiary convicts were busily engaged at the State Hoose yard, yesterday, in removing the tin and lam? ber that lay in the highway, and other work of repair was being performed. Who bas got George's dictionary? It is a great inconvenience, as it prevented his dilating npon the merits of his cele? brated Irish champagne. There is to be a slight change in thc schedule of the night passenger train be? tween Charleston and Columbia. See advertisement. Messrs. John Agnew & Son are in re? ceipt of Borne prrtioalarly nae pickled beef, put ap in compact form, and very toothsome. It is superior to the well known "Fulton Market." Mayor Alexander will accept oar thanks for copies of Scotch papers of late date. Tbe Independents, with a fall comple? ment of men, leave Columbia, to-night, at ll o'clock, to participate in the cele? bration by the Charlotte Firo Depart? ment on Monday next-Capt. Ly L ran d's Silver Cornet Baad accompanying them. We have to record a peculiarly hard case. A State officer, who has not been ablo to obtain any portion of bia salary for several mouths, wo,s forced to borrow money, yesterdiy, to pay his license tax "on salary," which is still due. I During the gale on Wednesday night, not an accident occurred, as far as we have been ablo to ascertain, to any of tho many new-brick and wood-build? ings in course of erection in our oity. The Vigilant Fire Company leave for Charleston, this morning, at 6 o'clock, with Thompson's Brass.Band. The water will be shut off at Laurel street, from Maia street East, this morn? ing, a 0 o'clock. The pieces of the two chimneys that laid in a dangerous situation on the roof of the State House were thrown to thc ground yesterday; thus avoiding the lia? bility to accident. Eqaestrians and pe? destrians alike placed the Western end of the building at a great distance front them in passing through the yard, while those agly bricks hung over-head. Tho house fly will be a full crop this year, from present indications-already they are numerous. Young ladies now have the neck-tie mania. The collars of thc members of the In? dependent Fire Company will be deco? rated with a print of the Bteamer, encir? cled with "Our Dolly Varden"-the handiwork of Mr. Eugene Calve The Sunday School children attached to the white and colored Baptistohurches in this city went pic-nicking, yesterday, and had a delightful day of it-the one party at Seegers' brewery and the other at Latia's grove. A steady rain, of several hours' dura? tion, yesterday, laid the dust and mate? rially cooled the atmosphere. A kciosene lamp exploded in Mrs. Hoffman's store, on Assembly street, lost night, but fortunately no ene was hurt. Attention is directed to a card in an? other column, calling for a State Demo? cratic Convention to assemble in Colum? bia on the 11th of Jaae next. PHOSIXXAMA.-The fastest and slowest of oar English authors were Swift and Crabbe. Why is an over-worked horse like an umbrella? Because it is used up. What nation produces most marriages? Fascination. There are four things which a woman cannot do-tie np a paroel, throw a stone, carry an umbrella, and Bharpen a lead pencil. Theie are two things in this life for which we are never prepared, and that is twins. Jf you can't ooax a fish to bite, try your persuasive powers npon a cross dog, and you will be sore to succeed. To flatter a person adroitly, ono mast know three things-what they are, what they think they are, and what they want other people to think they are. Genius unexalted is no more genius than a bushel of acorns is a forest of oaks. Grease spots may be removed from silk by a pair of scissors. Deeds are fruits; wordB arebut leaves. A wounded reputation is seldom cured. The papers in Lima are all talking about a ohild born in that country with seven heads. Poor baby, suppose it should have the headache. It is said that "the first white shad ever known in the Georgia rivers* have appeared this season." They are evi? dently some Greeley fish that have gone there to annoy Alexander Stephens. Fidelity, good humor and complais? ance of temper outlive all the oharms of a fine faoe, and make its deoay invisible. The White Hat-the White Coat-the White House. CORRECTION.-An article appeared in the DAILY PHOENIX, of the 10th instant, in whiob it was stated we had been in? formed that Mr. Jane. Mobley had been arrested on a oharge of rape at Union. We have been told since that oar in? formant was in error-no such arrest has been made, nor any oharge of such a nature preferred against the ex-Repre? sentative; and we, therefore, publish this correction ia justice to him. BEFORE UNITED STATE3 COMMISSIONER BOOZER.-George E. Windsor, charged with violation of the Enforcement Aot, at Chester, in Maroh, 1871, had a hear? ing, yesterday, before the Commissioner. Several witnesses were examined on part of the prosecution, after which he was allowed bail in the sum of $3,000 for his appearance at the August term of the United 8Utes Court, to be held in this city. SATURDAY NIGHT.-Thank God for Saturday nightl It falls like a benedic? tion upon the dusty work-shops, the busy counting rooms, the various depart? ments of toiling life, and re-asserts its original claim to that sweetest word |of the Hebrew tongue, "Sabbath." It comes like the soft rain upon the parched earth, the wandering sea-wind to the weary shore. It is the poor man's friend; beneath its awakening spell his heart goes back to the Saturday nights of long ago, ere the silver cord whioh bound him to the home of his' child? hood was loosened, or ever the golden bowl of a spotless faith was broken. It is the poetry of the week, the silver lin? ing to a six days' round of vexation, dis? appointment and regret. Men of toil, whether of brain or muscle, go home to your wives and little ones, resolved to live better lives. The Saturday night will come, and soon, when you can go home to them no more. Suppress every impatient word, every hasty reproof. It is well that Saturday nights come in this busy life to give us pause and time for thought. Bat a little while, and death or distance will break np and scatter the little household. When the wee toddliag feet are cold beneath the violets, you would give the world to have them back. You would not become impatient?t their noise-if only you could but hear their echo once more. The time of separation comes sooner or later, and never very late. It is estimated that not one house? hold oat of twenty retains its little circle unbroken longer than seven years. Oh, we conld love our brother, our sister, so much better if they were only with us onco more. No harsh word should grieve the heart ot father or mother-if they could only come backl Alas, this is the language of the world-the air is filled with farewells to the dead; and yet we should never pause to reflect but for Saturday night. Beauties often die old maids. They set such a value on themselves that they don't And a pnrchaser before the market is closed. No man is so insignificant as to be sure his example can do no hurt. Those who value themselves on their ancestry have been well compared to po? tatoes-all that is good of them ia ander the ground.
