COLUMBIA, S. C. Wednesday Morning, May 22, 1872. Good Failli Requires the BnAotsement ot Greeley and Brown. When Liberal Republicanism was in its infancy; when it was exceedingly problematioal whether the reformers wonld secure a respectable Republican following, and when Dejnoorats and the Democratic press were doing all in their power to give impulse to the young enterprise, by promise of Democratic help, the Grant organs hoping then to orash the movement at its birth, by frightening the Liberals from a danger? ous undertaking, were very positive in prononnoing the encouraging offers of assintanoe, made by the Democrats, * os nothing but a sham, a spacious trick to delude Republicans into creating a dis? sension within their own ranks, in ordor that a Demooratio President might thus be eleoted. It has been Bear eely a month ago since euch predictions were made by the Grantites, with all the earnestness of apparent sincerity, and made, too, mani? festly with a view to dampen the arder of the Liberals, and to keep other rest? less and dissatisfied members within the Radical fold, by picturing to them the . terrors of the dread Demooratio wolf. Now that the Oinoinnati Convention has met and noted, and by the number and character of the delegates' and the enthusiastic reception with which the candidates and platform have been re? ceived, evinced to all that Liberal Re? publicanism is a power in the land, the Radical organs have ohanged their base. Foiled in the?r efforts to frighten the Liberal Repablicans by dwelling upon "Demooratio deceit" and "scheming mendacity," they turn now to the Demo? crats, and are striving to induce the party to do tho very thing which they did but yesterday, as it were, denounce as "trickery" and "deceit." A'short time since, they told the Liberal Repub? licans that the Democrats were making false promises, with the solo view of dis? organizing the Republican party. Satan himself, according to them, is not more artful, treacherous and unrelia? ble, than was the Demooratio party. The Liberal Republicans moved on boldly in the execution of their patriotio work, regardless alike of the sneers and the bug-bears with which the Grantites endeavored to thwart their righteous re? solve. Now the tables are turned. Not a word is said of the virtual pledge which the Democratic party unquestionably made to sustain the Cincinnati nomina? tions on certain conditions, which condi? tions have been entirely satisfied. Not a ' ord is said of Demoorats being slip ?ry and false-he ar ted. Oh, no! Demo? orats are no longer time-servers and poli . tioal intriguers. In a wonderfully short sp ac o of time they have made astonish-, ing changes in their natures and in the respect and esteem of the Grantites. They are now too honorable, too con? sistent, too devoted to the life-long prin? ciples of their glorious old party, to take up Buoh a bitter foe, such a pronounced and uncompromising Republican and advocate of protection os Mr. Greeley. One day the Democrats are so utterly unreliable that there is not the slightest dependence to be placed upon their pro? mises to the Liberal Republicans. The next day they are so honest, straightfor? ward and sincere in their convictions, that they cannot .be expeoted to keep their promises to the Liberal Republi? cans, because such a course would in? volve some alleged inconsistency with their past record. Demoorats noed only to read the Ad ministration press to convinoo themselves where the path of duty lies in the pre? sent juncture of affairs. It is as safe n maxim in politics as in war to "first find out what your enemy desires you to do, and then don't do it." Thia alone should determino the Demooratio party in favor of endorsing the Cincinnati nominees, even if they had no other and higher considerations. But they have. There. Easy possibly have been a few soheming Democrats, greedy for tho spoils of office, who havo egged the Liberal Republicans on in their bolt against the Grant faotion, with sinister designs all the while to profit the Domooratio party thereby. There ore indications at present point? ing strongly in that direction. Buoh was not, however, the spirit that ao tuated the body of the Demooratio press and the people. It is absurd to suppose anything of the kind. The Democracy was alarmed at the extrava? gance, nepotism and corruption of Grant's administration, and at the rapid paoe towards centralism with which the Government was rushing under his rule. They felt powerless to oheok the down? ward course on which the republio was going, and they hailed with surprise and delight the prospect held ont of a coali? tion with the Liberal Republicans to effect a common patriotio end. They were perfectly sincere in the encourage ment they tendered to Schurz, Tram? bull, Brown and Greeley, and muBt recollect it at Baltimore and at the ballot box in November; The Liberal Republicans were given to understand, aa plainly and as directly as the nature of the CSBO would permit, that if they would announce such prin? ciples as Democrats could endorse, place honest and able candidates in the field, and exhibit such, a strength of their own as to render a coalition with them rea? sonably' certain of success, they should receive the hearty support of the great Democratic organization. Who can pick a flaw in their platform? : Who can question the integrity and abi? lity of their nominees? and who can doubt their numerical strength after the immense concourse at Cincinnati, the endorsement given the movement by the press and by distinguished individuals, and the terrible fright which has seized upon the followers of Grant, and their frantic efforts to prevent a Democratic combination? All the conditions have boen satisfied on the part of tho Liberal Republicans, ahd all that is left now undone is that ooalition which was guaranteed by the Demoorats. Good faith, therefore, re? quires that the Demoorats now perform their part of the implied agreement. But even should some be willing to break their faith, or bc so obtuse as to contend that there is no obligation upon the Demooratio party to support Greeley and Brown, still there is nothing to be gained by pursuing any other course. If the Democracy could not beat Grant before, how muoh the less will they be able to do it now, that thousands of their former supporters will cast their votes for Greeley and Brown, no matter what other candidates may be in the field. A straight Democratic ticket would not stand a ghost of a chance, even should the Liberal Republican can? didates remain in tho field, for the latter would undoubtedly, in a tri-angular con? test, receive more Democratic than Re? publican votes. There is no schism in the Republican party like that of 1860 in the Demooratio party, by means of whioh Mr. Linooln was eleoted. Then the Democrats split among themselves in convention. The faotions were utterly irreconcilable, and had each a large following. There was, moreover, no agreement or under? standing between the Republican party and either wing of the Democracy. Had there been, and tho Republicans afterwards broke faith, as some urge the Demoorats now to do, the great mass of the disaffected wing would have fallen back into line, and Mr. Lincoln would never have been elected. There is a slight resemblance, but not the least analogy, between the two cases, as any one will perceive who gives a little reflec? tion to the subject. < * ? ? A DEMAQOQUB BALKED.-Thero will be general rejoicing over the failure of General Bntler to have Congress take a recess until the last of November, so as to extend the infamous Hu Klux Act through the Presidential election. The avowal of such an object by the Adminis? tration leader in the House, shows the desperate extremity to whioh the Grant faction have been driven. They want to carry the eleotion by foroe, feeling well assured their leader will stand no chance in a fair vote of the people. Tho House passed, by a large 'majority, a .substitute to adjourn eine die on the 3d of June, though the concurrence of the Senate is doubtful. In any event, the volo shows the progress 'of liberal views in the House, and that members of Congress are no longer cattle to bo driven under the whip of the Executive Palmetto Orphan llorac. T? the Citiaens of South Carolina. DE AK EMENDS: lam glad to bc able to announce a Board of Trustees for the Palmetto Orphan Home.

ENOREE PLANTATION, S. O., May 17, 1872. MB. EDITOB: There ie a title in the affaire of nations and peoples aa well as of individuals, and happy are those "who possess the sagacity to discern and take advantage of it. We bare been swept over by a disastrous war of fonr years duration, followed for seven years more ' by the lashed and maddened wavea of misjudgment and misrule, which has shaken the country from centre to cir oatnferenoo, both socially and politically. The stormy billows of passion and hate, engendered by the late war, have com? menced to subside in the North, and ber best men aro now surveying the situation and taking their latitude and departure. President Grant, daring tho late wur, saved the territorial integrity of the lie publio, and for it he deserved well of the North. This debt they have paid to the fall, by elevating him to the Chief Ma? gistracy of the Republic-the highest position in the gift of the American peo- ' pie. We cherished the hope when bo I waB elected tbat be would inaugurate hin ' administration by calling to his counsel the purest and ablest men in the entiro country-men who, by long experience in publia affairs, understood the needs of the country and the working of our governmental system, and would spare no effort to re-adjust in all its pa rt H this once great and huppy Republic, and re? store that general good feeling wbiob once pervaded tho land. That ho did not do BO WHS his own fault, for no one was over before surrounded by circum? stances so auspicious for good. That be ignored tho best and ablest men in tho 1 entire country, and snubbed the best | men in bis own party, and surrendered to tba Radical faotion, was bis own act. That he is especial!]/ to blame for the dis? astrous and perilous condition of the country, in both her domestic and foreign affairs, I opine no one will gainsay. During the war the North manifested a singular sagacity in sending to the rear ber generals as soon as victory failed to perch upon their banners. Grant stands to-day as a statesman where McDowell stood as a general upon the disastrous field of Bull Run-confused, defeated, rooted. If wo are to judge the future by the past, let him prepare to got to the rear, for such is bis fate. The war has ended and freedom is now permanently established, slavery having been torn up, oloven in the very roots, out of the Con? stitution, leaving not a fibre to tell wbero it once was. We are now moving for? ward and battling for thc next station upon the great highway-the purification of the Government and the pacification of the country. The great moral power of the North and West bas spoken, and they have reached out their hands in anxiety to ns and have invited ns to nnite with them in tho great oontest. They have put forth as their standard-bearers in the fight Horace Greeley and Gratz Brown. It is not to be expected that those to whom wo havo heretofore looked to for counsel will move op promptly to tho support of Mr. Greeley, with whom they have for a life-time been in mortal combat. But will the rising manhood of the State dally by tho wayside and wait for Mr. Belmont to come up with his little truck cart, before they decide what they will du? We hope not. Should we wuit, and the Democratic party pat into the field a straight-out tiokui, not only will the furnace in the North again glow to a red heat, and the elections in the South bo carried by the military power, but all tbe cbanoes are Grant will be re-elected, and men, more radical than those now seated into power, will be returned to tbe next Federal Con? gress. Should the rising generation, however, everywhere move np promptly, and the Democratic party confirm the nomination of Greeley and Brown, not only will they be triumphantly clouted, but better men everywhere than those now in office will be run upon their ticket and lifted into places of power and trnst. There will be a vast chango for the better in every department, both State and Federal, of our great com? pound system of government. Tho dif? ferent sections of tho country will again begin to understand each other, and a kindly feeling will spring np between them. Capital and labor will pour down with a rushing tide- into our beautiful State, so tenderly loved in provincial days by Shaftesbury and Locke. Your beautiful city, which now uumbcrs about 10,000 people, will, in a few yours, with ber magnificent water-power, number 00,000 or 100,000; ail tho hills for milos around will be dotted with cottages and covered with a teeming and a morry po? pulation, and on and ou will she move, increasing in numberj, prosperity and power until she rivals the great manu? facturing oities of the world. I am, sir, yours with great reapeot, ELLISON S. KEITT. TUE GREAT NATIONAL PANORAMA OF THE UNITED STATES.-This great South? ern enterprise was begun two years ago, and at this time is fast nearing comple? tion. The finest talent in the country has been employed in sketching and painting the scenes at a cost of $10,000. Each picture covers canvas niue by ten feet, a'nd all who have seen it testify to its merits, and express their astonish? ment that eooh an undertaking should have its origin here in Charleston rather than at the North; but we are not aa dormant as outsiders take pleasure in announoiog, and hope to show the peo? ple of this country that art has been en? couraged. June 1 is set for the first ex? hibition, and we sincerely trust that Charlestonians may tender the managers a fitting testimonial iu the shape of full houses.-Charleston News. The othordox Mussulmans of Tunis are greatly excited over a rumor that prevails in that country, that a Bey of Tunis is about to abjure the Mahometan faith and become a Christain. TBRBIBI?B MASSACRE IN TEXAS-AT? TAOS ON A WAGON TRAIN.-A report bas been received at the War Department detailing the massacre by Indians, Mex? icans and negroes combined, of a train of Bop pl ie s en route to Stockton? at Howard's Wells, near old Fort Lancas? ter. The facts, as reported to General Augur by Colonel Merritt, of the Ninth Cavalry, under date of Fort Clark, Texas, April 20, are as follows: A Mexican train, loaded with United States commissary and ordnance stores, on its way from San Antonio to Fort Stockton, wau attacked and taken by In? dians, who plundered and burned all? the people with the train. Seventeen souls in all wore killed or wounded. One woman alone escaped. Rapid pur? suit was at once made by Companies A and U of tho Ninth Cavalry, commanded respectively by Captain Cooney and Lieutenant Vincent. After following the trail some soven or eight miles, tho cavalry carno upon tho Indians in force on tho summitt of a steep and almost in? accessible bluff. Hero a sharp fight occurred, in whioh, I regret to say, Lieutenant Vincent full mortally wound? ed, while bravely leading aud attempting to oontrol his men. Tho escaped woman roports six Iudians killed in the fight. Words fail to convoy au idea of the sickening atrocities committed by thu douions who overpowered tho traiu mun, several of whom were taken alive, tied to tho wagons and burned. Au old woman was carried some distance from the place of attack, then shot and scalped. Her grand-child had it-* ears cut off, was scalped and hud its brains dashed out, while bur daughter, the mother of the child, who witnessed itali, as also the death of her husband nt the traiu, was carried off by the fieuds. More thun oue poor wretou orawled from the burning wagons after tho ropes which bound them had burned off, only to buru ko blackened, uurccoguizablo masses, with their charred bauds and faces raised in positions of entreaty. The train had niuo men with it, tho re? mainder of the party being women and children. It is feared that ono woman was taken away by the band, though it is possible that she, as well as the other body un? accounted for, was burned to ashes with tho wagons. Ii is reported that the band cousisted'of from 125 to 150 mon, and was composed of Indiana, Mexicans and deserters from the army. General Augur expresses the opinion that the Indians came from Mexico, and this belief is sustained by tho fact that Mexicans were with them and de? serters from colored regiments, the lut? ter universally going into Mexico. A PROTEST AGAINST PERSONALITIES. Tho New York Herald protests against the introduction of personalities into a political campaign. As for tho Cincin? nati nominee, it says: "Horace Greeley is a truo type of American life-a self-made, honest hearted, energetic man, having his peculiarities and eccentric notions, but all the more American on that account. If he wears cow-hide boots, destitute of polish, they have carried him bravely tbrongh an honorable career, marked out by enterprise and ending in suc? cess. If his coat hangs loosely on his shoulders and drags at his heels, it but? tons over a heart that is proud of the lund of his birth and full of kindly feel? ings for his fellow-men. If his old white hat lacks the fashionable curve in tho brim, and looks like a venerable and not well-preserved family relic, it oovers a brain full of genius, ever ready to labor in tho cause of freedom and for the advancement of the human race. Ridicule and abuse are harmless weapons against such a man, for the people of the United States know him and honor him, and every eye bas a kindly look and every hand a friendly grasp for 'Undo Horace.' " TUE BOSTON JUBILEE DRUM.-Tho bass drum for the Boston jubilee in I860 was a child's plaything when compared with tho one just completed at Farmington Fulls, Muiue, for this year's festivity. Thc diameter of the ?rat one was eight fcot; that of this monster is twelve feet, while its circumference is" thirty-seven feet and eight inches, and its width five feet. It is made of maple, requires twelve boards, oach fifteen feet long and thirteen inches wide, and contains 105 squaro feet of timber. It is the largest drum in tho world, and was taken from tho factory only by tearing away a part of thu building. REVOKED.-Attorney-General Cham? berlain, as will bo seen by the following communication, has reconsidered a form? er opinion rolative to tho tux on clergy? men : OFFICE OF TUE ATTORNEY-GENERAL, COLUMBIA, S.

THE CHARLOTTE CELEBRATION.-From parties who were present we have learned some particulars of the recent celebra? tion by the firemen, in Charlotte, Nf. C., of the ninety-seventh anniversary of the "Mecklenburg Declaration of Independ? ence." Everything passed off in a very satisfactory manner. At 10 o'clock, a procession was formed in front of the Court House, where the visiting firemen were welcomed by Col. Young. After marching through the principal Btreets of the city, the procession brought ap in front of the Fair Grounds, where ap? propriate addresses were delivered by several gentlemen, amongst whom was Col. Pul mer, of our city. The banner carried from this city by the Independ? ents was then presented to the fire-de? partment of Charlotte, by Mr. Andrew Crawford, in a brief bat handsome speech, which was responded to by Col. Young, of Charlotte. The firemen were then invited to Floral Hall, where a table, overflowing with tempting viands, was awaiting their onslaught. When the cravings of the inner man had been satisfied, the line of march was resumed, and the procession returned to the city. The afternoon nas occupied by the different engine companies in testing the power of their machines, but the insuffi? cient supply of water, and the breaking of their section pipe, prevented tho Independents from showing the full capacity of their engine. The festivities wore closed by a dance in the evening, and our boys returned home, yesterday, highly pleased with their visit and the cordial and hospitable treatment they re? ceived from the citizens of Charlotte.
