COLUMBIA, S. C. Thursday Morn lng. May 23, 1872. Protection, to Home Industry. The Union gave its readers a column artiole yesterday, ander the above head? ing. The Democratic press of the South, the Union graciously concedes, may bo sincere in advocating freo trade; bat "these editors," it says, "aro fundamen? tally wrong; they do not bring forward faots and figures wbioh affect us here in this State." We failed to find any such in the article of the Union. Facts and figures have indeed been "brought for? ward" by the Union and those of its way of thinking, which have "affected us here in this State" terribly; bnt they do not happen to have protected "home in? dustries" "to any great extent." We trnst the Union will pardon oar Hying the track a little. Whenever anything is said about figures, our mind tarns irre? sistibly to the millions which, we may say, and not speak figuratively, have been added to the former Bmall dobt of the State, without even the plea of pro? tection to excuse it. Bat let us to tho subjeot properly under discussion. We object, ia the first plaae, to the title which the Union has given its article. "Protection to home indus? tries" ia a hackneyed catch phrase, and utterly false when applied to a protec? tive tariff. It is au error, to begin with, and, therefore, we protest against its use. Of course, everybody would like to have "protection to home industries." We will go farther than the Union in that direction, and say proteot everything, even the public purse; and everybody, even the Union man, ii he will only be? have himself, and aid in the general protection which all good men favor. A protective tariff protects, if anything, only one branoh of industry-manufac? tures. Theohief, and almost the sole branch of productivo industry with "us here in this State," is agriculture. When the Union or any advocate of high tariff concocta some scheme to protect and foster the growth of agriculture, upon which the wealth and welfare of every nation is almost solely dependent, then, and not till then, there may be some justification for the false phrase-pro? tection to home industries. ? We suggest to the Union, as a moro oorrect term, the substitution of manufactures for in? dustries, so tkat the phrase will read "protection to home manufactures," or else that it make a "radical reconstruc? tion" of the entire concern, and call it .'the forced growth of manufactures," which expresses the idea with still greater exaotness. We object, in the second place, to this "forced growth ol manufactures," for the reason that it can only be accomplished at the expense of all other Interests; and especially at that of the main stay and prop of the County agriculture. This is both unwise and unjust. We will give an illustration that should com? mend itself to the sympathies of the political philosopher of the Union. Suppose, and we beg to state here that it is entirely a suppositions case-sup? pose, we say, that some poor, hard-work? ing creature of tho fifteenth amendment has actually received his "titles clear" tc the imaginary forty acres and a mule, which have so often been held up to the enchanted gaze af his credulous race, Then suppose that this poor, hard-work? ing man needed a hoe, as tillers of the soil generally do;, and suppose that thu hoe could be bought direct from England for fifty cents, if there was no tariff, bul under the operation of a "protection tc home industries" hei? made to pay 81.2? fer it to a home manufacturer. Woulc that be just, and is it wise so to cripple the means of the poor farmer? Wuj should one of the poor dear struggling wards of the nation be compelled to pay a bonus of 150 per cent, to some wealthy manufacturer like Mr. Sprague? Wc single him out because he, or his agent, at any rate, does not seem to be in high favor with the Union man, to whose favorable consideration we desire to oom mend our illustration in every possible way. Tho same argument applies to axes, kitchen and farm -utensils, of every de? scription, blanket?, clothing of all kinds, . medicines, and even the salt whioh b< puts in his ash-cake. In short, a pro teotive tariff compels the farmer ant agricultural lab or or to pay jost such ai inoreased prioe for everything he pur chases, as it is more or less high. Thii cannot be denied. Gan the Union sbov how it is beneficial? If yon increase th? expenses or coat of farming, do you no proportionally ?diminish the amount o production? And if yon diminish agrl cultural productions, whioh are th foundations of all wealth, is the growtl of the oountry not proportionate!; oheoked and all industries injured? I may do for New England, whose leadinj industry is manufactures, to preach pro t?otive tariff. Tba people of that sec? tion are the producers, and, of course, profit by any enhancement of the prioe of their particular productions; bat the people of tho Sooth and Wost are con? sumers, and every cont added to tho price of what they consume is an addi? tional borden for them to carry. Tho Union man is from New England, we be? lieve, and we will accord him the same sincerity in his tariff notions which bc bas graciously granted bia opponents. But he is evidently out of his latitude in more Benses than ono. That ho bas a penchant for manufactures, we know. Some uncharitable folks say that so great is his zeal for and knowledge of that noble branob of industry, that ho some? times applies its mechanical powers to tho fabrication ' of facts, making them even of the wholo cloth when the occa? sion is urgent, and time or truth will not allow of a more laborious and certain process. This is a novel branch of ma? nufacture, and we must confess is most ingeniously operated by our high tariff contemporary. But we protest against its introduction as a foreign artiole, and demand protection. Furthermore, and lastly, we protest against the Union mau. Being an im? ported fabrio himself, and of inferior grade at that, it does not become him to cry down his kind. It is suioidal. He is evidently bent on acquiring the glory of a felo de se. We are anxious to be rid of him, bat he must not perish by his own hand. Even our malignant hate would not doom him to death by such an ignominious instrument as that. Just let him keep quiet, and if he is really sincere in his apparent desire to gratify our longing for his absence, we will fur? nish a more glorious mode for his last departure. We have been keeping, es? pecially for his service, a bull Ku Klux, with both horns on, and if the Union man really wishes to expire, we will turn this Oyclops upon him, some of these moonlight nights, and make him such a glorious martyr, that even Grant could not contend successfully with the Union's posterity for the highest office in the gift of a Ku Kluxed people. A ship canal across the peninsula of Florida is proposed. The route ia up the St. John's Biver for 127 miles, then np the Ooklawaha Biver for sixty miles. At this point, a ship canal, for the dis? tance pf forty miles must be ont through the Bwampe to the Amaxura Biver at a spot thirty-five miles from its mouth, where it empties into the Gulf of Mexico near Cedar Keys. By this route, 650 miles will be saved on the voyage be? tween the mouth of the Mississippi and the Atlantic ports. As the trade of 1871 between the ports on the Gulf of Mexico and those on the Atlantic coast amount? ed to 800,000 tons, it is believed that a handsome revenue would be derived from the proposed oana!. VAX?UAIITJK . MANUSCBIPTS LOST.-Bj the burning, on the 20th ult., at Coffee ville, Miss., of the house of Mr. Edward Mayes, all the manuscripts of the late Judge A. B. Longstreet were destroyed. They had been placed in the hands of Mr. Mayes to be edited, and he was waiting only to complete a biography of the distinguished deoeased, ere publish- ' ing them in foll. The humorous writ? ings of Judge Longstreet-"Georgia Scenes" and others-can be replaced; but what is to be muoh regretted is the utter loss of the manuscript of au ori? ginal work, entitled "Biblical Criticism," to which Judge Longstreet had devoted many years of assiduous study and labor. -????>?? The Columbia correspondent of the Charleston News telegraphs thusly: The report that the interest on tho State debt, dae July 1, will not be paid, has no other foundation than the casual remark of a dabbler in stocks. The ! ring maintain a profound socreoy, and it icahighly probable that the depressing rumors now iu oirculation are intended to shove the bonds down and leave those in the secret a handsome profit when the truth comes ont. A large sum of money in revenue bond scrip has been received at the Treasury, but none as yet has? been paid out. The policy of the ring appears to be to nurse their funds, pay? ing no claims except of the most press? ing kind, so as to be abie to restore the State credit, and give the grumbling bond-holders at loast six months' inte seat to keep them quiet until fall, when 4he tax collections will be abundantly sofficient to liquidate all arrears. i SAVINGS BANKS.-The statistics of the savings banks of the United States indi? cate a very gratifying oondition of af? fairs. These banks contain deposits of about $1,000,000,000, of whioh sum $275,000,000 are in the savings banks of New York, $163,000,000 in Massachu? setts, and $1,000.000 in the rest of New England. During the last six months, it is estimated that between $50,000,000 and $100,000,000 have been withdrawn from these banks. As nearly the whole of the immense sum on deposit in the various savings banks of the country is derived from the surplus earnings of meohanics and laboring men, the fact speaks loudly in favor of the careful eco? nomy of this class of our population. MA? 21, 1872. J. A. SELBY: Feeling like scribbling a few linea, I send you this for the co? lumns of your paper. It is noticeable that there is quite a difference of opi? nion among men as to the best course to pursue in putting forth nominations for President and vice-President of the United States. All the old party lines are obliterated, and old party platforms are no longer applicable to oar progres? sive timos. There is now no uso in re? ferring buck to the platforms of ancient Whigery, Democracy, Republicanism, or Know Nothingism, in putting forth a platform of principles upon which to rally tho voters of the country. Wo bave reached a new condition of parties and politios. Modern Republicanism is split into two wings-the one is Radical and Grantish, tbe other conservative and desirous of reform. Most of these indicate a willingness to risk a ride on the national boat, with honest Greeley, the man of the pen and press, and Gratz Brown, who is willing to assist in wield? ing the helm of the ??tate. Modern De? mocracy is also threatening to split-not so mach as to the platform es to the men who are to be.ir the flag to victory. Here lies the rock on whioh the boat of State may strike, and Bink all the promising hopes. The power and strife of newly affiliating parties will pass through a trying crisis. Partyism hos ran itself into extremes already; and r.niess thu working and business masses of tho whole people of thia country take their rights and interests into hand, with an earnestness, tho aspiring politicians and corrupt and hungry office-holders will bring the United States into final and utter ruin. General peace and prosperi? ty, especially in the South, will flee away. The Southern section of this Union is now almost reduced to help? lessness and despair, and has no induce? ment to forward the views of corrupt men and dishonest parties. Hers is the duty and interest to support men and party who will affiliate, with true intent, honestly, to do justice to the South and the whole country; to lessen and remove insufferable burthens; to work the ma? chinery of government with care and eoonomy; eschew extravagance, and strive to promote general peace and prosperity among all olasses of people, on fair terms. Our inquiry should be, who aro the men and the party that will work persistently in this direction? Who will unite to fight it ont on this line? We will go for any nomination that will come up boldly to this standard -men who are competent for such a high position, and can command a sup? port that will warrant probable success. We will support such a nomination, no matter what have been their former party affiliations. These enter now very little into the great questions at issue before us. We wait for a bid. Who says? Tho welfare of the "best Govern? ment tho world ever saw" is now regis? tered on tho auotion board, and mast bc knocked down to the highest, honest bidder. No straw bids will be taken: the terms are cash. SPES. OFF iou OF SPECIAL COMMISSIONER, SOUTHERN CLAIMS COMMISSION, CoLUMniA, S. C., May 22, 1872. MR. EDITOR: Please give a place ir your columns for the publication of th? following suggestions to claimants. Re spectfully yours, T. W. PARMELE, Special Commissioner. It has come to my knowledge tba many loyal claimants before this Com mission have assigned large per con tage: of their claims, and in many cases hav< made large cash advances, to personi representing that they have "peculiar facilities" for obtaining a favorable con sideration of claims prepared by then as "attorneys." There are many honor able persons engaged in the prosecutioi of claims whoso services deserve a libe ral reward, bat there are maay unprinoi pied mon who, for the sake of extortini cash advances, or large per oentages will misrepresent to the claimant, eithe by encouraging groundless claims, or b; under-rating those likely to be entertain ed-in either case, demanding rates ou of all proportion to tho real valu? o their services. The expense of prepar ing all the papers required by claimant should not exceed two or three dollars and if a loyal claimant adopts the wis course of letting his case rest on it aotual merits, the examination, ns con ducted under the regulations uf th Commission, will bring to light mor favorable matter than is likely to rosul from a prepared narrative ot loyalty. 1 a olaimant has doubt as to the prospec of allowanoe, he should consult the Spe cial Commissioner in his district, o other reliable counsel, so as to avoid waste of time and money. This coors is wiser than tc depend on hia own inge nuity or the "peculiar facilities" of ape onlators. Many claimants are d?terre from presenting elaine beforo me, in cor sequence of tho high rates exaotod b their "attorneys," one-fourth of whic would pay the fees allowed my office To those who cannot visit me at Colore bia, I will send oiroulars, or raply to b letter on reoeipt of pontage. I have o band all the printed forms for preparin claims, and they may be filled up an sworn to before me at small expense All persons in this State who proser claims before this Commission must nj pear before me with their witnesses, c give testimony before the Commissio at Washington. The Commissionei bave positively refused to deviate froi this rule. Where tho number of clain ants in any locality will warrant the tim and expense of the journey, I will vial them without additional coat; otherwiai E am allowed to exact my actual ej penses, ia addition to the fees paid b alaimants. T. W. PARMELE, Special Commissioner. Mus. DAVIS AND MR. G KEELEY-A TRUTHFUL SCRAP OF HISTORY.-The ac? companying communication, ?aya the Macon (Georgia) Telegraph and Mes? senger, comes from a source of the most unquestionable authenticity, and reflects honor upon the nominee of the Cincin? nati Convention. No true Southron can peruse it with onmoistened eye, and tbc rebuke to Mr. Yoorhees is most wither? ing and complete: TZditors Macon Telegraph and Messenger: Mr. Voorhee?, in bis recent attack on Mr. Greeley, styled his signing of Mr. Davis' bond "un impertinent interfer? ence." Allow me to give you the true history of that matter, as I recently learned it in New York, from a gentle? man who knew all nbout it. Mr?. Davis went to New York to consult Charles O'Connor, Mr. Davis' counsel, as to the best manner of effecting his release from prison. Mr. O'Connor told her that in his opinion there was but one way that it could be dono, and that WSR to get the representative man of tho Republican party to aign his bond. Mrs. Davis in? quired who that man waa. Mr. O'Con? nor replied that it was Horace Greeley. She then asked him if he would not aeo Mr. Greeley and get him to do it. He replied that he had no influence with Mr. Greeley, and that abo was the pro? per person to see him. She said she would go and see him. She went to his ofhee nit in her card and was invited into his private office. She said to him: "Mr. Greeley, my husband is confined in a casemate at Fortress Monroe. He has been there for many long, weary moDths. He ?B a feeble old man, and he is gradually sinking under his rigorous imprisonment. He will die if he ro? mains there much longer. I came here to consult Mr. O'Connor as to the means of getting him released. He has told me that there is but one way to do it, an 1 that is to get tho representative men of the Republican party to sign his bond, and that you are that mau. He has advised ine to apply to you. He says that you havo a kind heart, and that you will do it, if you believe it to be right. My husband is djing. Mr. Greeley, may I hop'? that you will favorably consider my application?" Mr. Greeley arose, extended bis hand to Mrs. Davis, and said: "Madam, you may, for I will sign his bond." Mr. Greeley was then a prominent candidate before the Legislature for the United States ' Senate. Some of his friends heard that he bad agreed to sign Mr. Davis' bond. They went to him and protested against it. They told him that they had made a count, and that he would be elected by six majority, bat that if he signed thia bond, it would de? feat him. He replied: "I know it will." They told him that he was one of the owners of the Tribun--, and if he signed this bond, he would lose thousands of subscribers. He replied: "I know it." They said, "Mr. Greeley, you have writ? ten a history of the war, one volume you have out, and have sold largo numbers of it. Your second volume is nearly out, and you have large orders for that. If you sign this bond, these orders will be countermanded, and you will lose a large amount of money." He replied: "Gen? tlemen, I know it; bul il is right, and Twill do it." He did do it, and I am in? formed that he lost a seat in the United States Senate, and over 830,000. To my mind, this does not look like "impertinentinterference." DEATH OK MRS. D. R. SONDLEY.-We regret to announce the death of Mrs. D. R. Sondley, whioh occurred at her resi? dence in this village on Monday after? noon, after a long and painful illness. She was truly the child of affliction, and for several months past was confined to her bed, and during her last moments was unconscious. The deceaaed was the eldest daughter of the late Dr. Isaac Branch, and with a brother who still lives, was the survivor of a once happy and unbroken house? hold. But death came, and in the short space of eighteen months, the sister, the mother, and the father were successively called away, and now the daughter, leaving a family of dependent children. Truly the ways of Providence are in? scrutable.-Abbeville Press and Banner. THE ARRESTED.-The following named gentlemen have been released on bail since our last report: Messrs. James Packer, W. H. Eddy aud Baxter Chap? man. The following are tho arrests: D. T. Newman, James Irby and ex-Sherill T. M. Paysinger. Mr. Commissioner Ilunklc, who has been absent for some time, returned to? day, and will proceed with the business of giving release to prisoners on bail. j Newberry Herald. MURDER IN SAVANNAH.-A quarrel on tho Thunderbolt Road, Savannah, last Sunday evening, between a small party of colored men, resulted in the death, on Sunday afternoon, of Charley Davis, who, it appears, got the worst of the fight, and was most brutally beaten and kicked bv Alonzo Robinson, Ned Robin? son and John Thompson. ACCIDENTAL DROWNING.-Yesterday at noon, while a party of colored men were bathing in the Augusta Canal, near Bea's Creek, one of them. Moses Easterhng, was drowned. It seems that ho endea? vored to swim across, but was taken with cramp and sank before aid could reach him.-Augusta Chronicle. THE SNAKE.-Not boa-constrictor, a rattle-snake or the idol of tho snake worshippers, but we allude to the snake, a coach-whip, killed in Captain White's garden on last Sabbath. It is said to have been six and a half foot in length. Who eau beat it?-Abbeville Medium. FOUNT DEAD.-Mr. Lindsay Coleman, au estef .?.ed citizen of Jefferson County, Ga., was found dead iu his bed, Tues? day muming. He had been suffering for some time past, with an affection of the heart, and his death is supposed to have becu caused by this disease. lt? XXL s. Crrr MATTERS.-The price of Bingle oopies of the PHONIX is five cents. Judge Melton holds court in Lexing? ton next woek-commencing Monday. The Western Union Telegraph Com? pany have obtained control of Mr. J. B. Stearns' patent for transmitting t?l?? graphia messages in opposite directions on a single wire at the same time, and are equipping the largor offices with the necessary instruments as rapidly as pos? sible. The system has been thoroughly tested the last four years, and is now considered as nearly perfect as need be. Tho night train from Augusta, on the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Road, leaves that city at 7.45 P. M. and arrives at Columbia at ll P. M.-making the distance between the two places (eighty five miles) in three hours and fifteen minutes, including stops. A fast sche? dule and a oapital one. Persons residing in the neighborhood of Elmwood Cemetery complain seri? ously of tue unpleasant smell, morning and evening, proceeding from that place of deposit for the dead. . The supposi? tion is that some of the graves are so shallow as to allow the escapo of poison? ous gases. The city authorities should look into this matter, and order the graves to be dug at least six feet deep. The health of the community may be affected otherwise. At a meeting of the Board of Trustees for the Palmetto Orphans' Home, of Columbia, S. C., the following officers were eleoted: President-Dr. J. W. Parker; Secretary-J, B. Ezell; Trea? surer-R. L. Bryan; Superintendent of Home-Rev. E. D. Buckner; Matron Mrs. M. M. Lyons. While the omnibus belonging to Rose's Hotel was on its way to the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Railroad, yester? day, a nat was lost, a wheel came off, and tho vehicle tipped over on one side. The nut was finally recovered, and the 'bus waa soon on its way again-having sustained bat alight damage. If the Pheonix Hook and Ladder men continue as they have begun, that arm of the fire department will soon prove a valuable one. The members exercise two or three times a. week. Foreman Little is an adept in that line. They are endeavoring to secure a new and im? proved apparatus.. Lieutenant-Governor Ransier prints a letter objeoting to the proposed extra session job. There was a very heavy and peculiarly acceptable rain storm, yesterday, whioh appears to have extended over the sur? rounding country. The Vigilant Fire Company, with Thompson's band, returned from Charleston, yesterday afternoon, and were escorted to their engine bouse by the Randolph Rifles.

FATAL ACCIDENT.-An aged colored man, named Edmond Berry, was jolted ? off the platform of a dirt train on the Wilmington, Columbia and Augusta Railroad, on Monday afternoon, and so severely injured by the train passing over bis legs as to necessitate amputa? tion. He died shortly after the ampu? tation. PHCENIXIANA.-Nature has written a letter of credit upon some men's faces which is honored almost wherever pre? sented. A young lady thinks it a great waste of material to pot ten dollars worth of Panama hat over ten cents worth of brain. Make an idol of a woman and she is very apt to become idle. A desirable second-hand article-a young, rioh and amiable widow. As a contributor to the Congressional Globe, Mr. Voorhees is a success; but when his present term expires, there will he a successor.

Frank Jones, a colored man, who has been imprisoned a number of times, for various offences, succeeded in escaping from the guard house, on Sunday night last-where he was being held on a charge of passing bogus currency. The next day, a short distanoe in the coun? try, he robbed an old colored man of a dollar or two, and the next day succeed? ed in stealing about five dollars from another colored unfortunate. Yester? day, in the neighborhood of Solomon's brick-yard, he attempted to commit a rape upon a small colored girl, but the mother overheard her cries and went to her rescue. The scoundrel made off, and afterwards tnrned up at the brick? yard, where the employees kept an eye upon him antil knocking off time, when they got around him and attempted tc arrest the law-breaker. Jones dis? tributed tho brick-bats in the vioinity quite freely among the party; whereupon one of them procured a double-barreled gun and brought him to terms in short order. He WSB then taken oharge of by a number of brick-yard employees and marched to Chief Jackson's head? quarters. A lengthy visit to General Stolbrand's castle will be the result. . The Charlotte papers speak in compli? mentary terms of Capt. LyBrand's Silver Cornet Band. The Observer says: "After the address the Columbia band discoursed an appropriate air, which was excellent in every particular, and the Columbia fire companies may well be proud to have such a splendid band of music to accompany them on occasions like this. "Then come the presentation of a beautiful banner from the Colombie In? dependents to Charlotte, which was done through Mr. Crawford, in a few eloquent and patriotic remarks, whioh was received by Mayor Young with a short but very impressive speech. The banner contained the following device: 'Hornet's Nest Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence, presented by Brevard to the People, May, 17,75. Independents to Charlotte, N. C.* "After the patriotic addresses by Mr. Crawford and Mayor Young, nothing would snit the occasion so well as that life-giving and soul-stirring piece of music, 'Dixey,' and loud oallsfor 'Dixey, by the Columbia band,' was made and the calls wera promptly[responded to, amid cheer after oheer, and the old hills of Mecklenburg almost trembled with the sounds of that glorious and patriotic air."

A30Jt2m Means What H* Bay?.-Though "con? firmations strong as proofs of Holy Writ," and aa nomeroas as tho sands on the sea? shore, were prodaoed to prove that Dr. Fierce, the proprietor of Dr. Bage's Catarrh Remedy, is io earnest and meant what he says, when he offers $f>00 reward for any ease of Catarrh which he cannot euro, yet there would be some skeptics and fogies who would continue to shoat, ''Humbugs "HUMBUG! 1" "It can? not be, because Dr. Homespun says Catarrh oannot be eared." Now, thia Dr. Homespun ls the identical, good-natured old fellow who h o ne a tty believes and persists In declaring that this earth is not round or spherical, bat fiat as a "clap-Jack," and does not turu over otherwise, the water would all be spilled out ot Deacon Bascom's mill-pond. But astrono? mical science has positively demouatrcted and proven th?t Dr. Homespun is wrong in sup? posing tikis earth to be flat and stationary, and medical ssisnoa is daily proving that ha ia no less mistaken and behind the times in regard to the curability of Catarrh. Tn short, it has been positively proven that this world monos, and that medical science is progressive -the opinion of Dr. Homespun to the con? trary notwithatandiog.

They be? lieve, and they are right, that they can lasso as many beaux with the luxuriant ringlets and glossy braida aa they oan "kill at sight" with their beaming eyes. Hence in thoir "toilet talk" among themselves and with their at? tendant*, the merita of preparations for the bair are freely canvassed, and the latest re? sult of this discussion seems to bethe almost universal adoption of LYON'S EATHADION, as an article better adapted to piomot? the growth and beauty ol the "Chief Qlory of Woman," than any other at present before the world. They say that without irritating the akin of the head, it eradioatts dandruff, and that it penetrates below the surface to the roots of the hair, endowing them with new lifo and vigor.
