COLUMBIA, S. C. Saturday Morning-, May 26, 1872. Protection to Home Industries. It would appear from his reply yester? day that we stack a little ginger under the tail of the Asinine biped, across tho way, who brayed so lustily for "protec? tion to homo industries" in bis Wednes? day's issue. The way he pranced out yesterday, reared up behind, and flung dirt and "horrible outrages" at us, was amusing; but the exercise was too vio? lent to bo wholesome, this sultry weather. The animal was frantic, and we regret it; for such fearful antics may result * fatally, and our cyclops will then be useless, and the causo of liberty lose a glorious martyr. He will never get to Congress, if he keeps on exhausting himself in that stylo. It is said be has a longing for a seat in that honorable body, and we are disposed to favor the project, in order to get rid of him and to spite fhe Yankees, who have shoveled their garbage down upon as here, by throwing it baok in their faces. That wa8 a sharp trick of oar shrewd brethren of Capo Cod and thereabouts, to use the Sooth as a receiving basin for the filth and scrapings ol their political and .ooial sewers. We can bat admire the ingenuity of the thin?, thongh we are bitterly consoions of the cruelty and meanness to us. Bat we will get even with them yet, and no better way offers itself at present than to return some of thia stuff to Congress. The Union man will please pardon oar being thus ex? plicit in onr reasons. Oar objeot is to prevent onr friends misunderstanding ' us, when we support a tariff man for Congress, as we expect to do next fall. It was not our wish in oar previous article, nor is it car wish now, to goad oar high tariff contemporary into such frightful postorior exhibitions of temper as he gave us yesterday. As we have said before, we fear the consequences, and we wonld reserve him for higher and better things. We protest against tho Union man's getting mad, too, from another consideration. He usually flies the track, when "bis angry passions rise," and answers all arguments by vomiting Eu Klux outrages. He evi? dently considero himself as a proper ob? ject for Eu Klux revenge, or else be is trying to play the martyr, and reap all the politioal and pecuniary advantages incident to that character, without hav? ing performed the first essential prere? quisite of undergoing the pains of a bloody murder. The thing cannot be done. Cuffy may be hood-winked in most oases, but there is a limit to his credulity, nevertheless, and not even the astuteness of our high tariff contemporary can persuade him to look upon a living man as a dead martyr. Tbat role bad as well be dropped at once. We deprecate this entire flying the track. A little, now and then, snob as we indulge in to vent onr humor as we go along, we are willing to accord. But we wonld be glad to have just a few re? marks more from our tariff contempo? rary on the subject of "protection to home industries." We wonld like to have a few words showing how an advo? cate of a proteotive tariff gets around tbe injustice dono to the agricultural laborer, as shown in the illustration we gave. How is it wise, or jost, tbat a few should be benefited at the oost of the many? Why should the millions who engage id' agriculture and ia otber pur? suits, not sabjeots of protection, be re? quired to pay a bonus of millions of dol? lars annually, to a fow thousand manu? facturer? Answer as these qaootions, Mr. Union mau. Take oar first article, if you be sincere in your tariff notions, and show us where we were wrong. We don't mind how yon do it. You can bray, and prance, and fling dirt, and bellow Eu Klux, as much as yoa like, bat do not confine yourself solely to saoh laughable performances. Let as hear why a oolored farmer in South Carolina should be made to pay two prices for his hoe, in order to support a manufacturer in Connecticut, or anywhere else. Don't forget that now, for wo are in earnest abont it, and are open to convic? tion. When you have answered that, yon can prance a little on the following: If the doctrine of proteotive tariff had prevailed in this State prior to and dar? ing the time of the importation of car? pet-baggers, and the rate had boon fixed at 100 per cent, ad valorem, say on an average twenty-fi vo cents per head, how many contd have paid the bonus and got through? and where would yoa be? There is another fellow, too, who, it is said, op>>'-? not pay his railroad fare. What wonld have become of himif thero had been a slight premium on his intro? duction into this State? That is one view of a protective tariff that com? mends the system to us, and it is tho only one, until at least the Union man shall give ns more light on the subject. Wo hopo he will not got mad about this, or, if he does, tbat he will get very mad. If he will persist in being ill-tempered, we beg him to grow very furious and bito himself. If he survives the bito, then there is no virtue in poison. Wo are strong believers in Darwin's theory of tho descent of man, nineo wo soo it so clearly exemplified in the car? pet-bagger. They aro evidently a mon? grel breed. We deteot strong traces of the uss, tho snake, and the 1 'yaller dog. " Tbe.ass betrays itself in all their nIter? ances; the snake in their sneaking, slip? pery ways and venomous nature; the "yaller dog" shows himself in their snarls and the oolor of their hair. But we didn't mean to bo personal, and if we have, weapologizo for it-to tho dog. ? ??i mr. t?rcticy', Letter of Acceptance. A letter from Horace Greeley, accept? ing the nomination of the Cincinnati Convention, will be seen in our columns this morning. It will, doubtless, bo read with interest by all, and will be found to repay perusal. It shows precisely the grounds Mr. Greeley stands upon, where his [heart is, and what is the ruling de? sire with him and the other worthy men who originated the Liberal movement. This will be found to be reconciliation between the sections, a sympathy with tho South, on account of the monstrous wrongs which have been heaped upon her, and a genuine re-union of the States, npon the basis of perfect equality before the law to all classes, and equal rights to all conditions of our people and all thc States of the Union. Tho South is anxious to settle differences on these terms, and to shake bands over them. If we can only get relief from thc miserable State Government which is sc rapidly rushing us on to bankruptcy anti ruin, we here in South Carolina wonlc not object to seeing every office in thc country, from the Presidency of tin United States to those of the Count] magnates who surround us here at homo filled by Republicans-provided, only they aro honest men. We do not deen it pertinent to inquire into Mr. Greeley'i post political record, as some who opposi him insist npon doing. There coule never be a combination of good men wh< had differed in the past if such old sore have to be ripped up. The people know and that is sufficient, that Horaoe Gree ley has been an honest, truthful, abl> and earnest man. If he has committet any errors they have been upon the sid of what he considered humanity, am are, therefore, excusable. Tho Libers movement means to wipe off the slat and begin political life afresh, on nei issues, and with old antagonisms .settle or laid aside. We hail ita advent witi hope-and will, to tho best of oar hum hie endeavors, advocate its olaims upo the people. Letter* from Distinguished Citizens. It is enoouragiug to see what an inte r st the nomination of Greeley an Brown and the Liberal movement hs awakened among oar public men e former days, and tho unanimity c sentiment which, as a general thine pervades their minds. General Kei shrw, Judge Aldrioh, Hon. W. D. Porte and Mr. Ellison Eeitt, have been oat i print, and all favor, more or less strongly the endorsement of Greeley. Th morning, we publish a letter from e: Governor Perry, which will Bpeak fe itself. There is a difference of opinic apon the propriety of sending delegah to Baltimore. Mr. Porter and M Perry advise the sending of delegate and the rest, we believe, oppose it. ? * ? ? WEALTH, TAXATION AND PDDMO II DEBTEDN"HHS OF THE UNITED STATBS.

Letter from Hon. B. JF. Perry. GKEENYILLB, S. C., May 22, 1872. Hon. Simeon Fair-MY DEAH SIB: Your lotter waa received this morniug, askiug an expression of my views ia re? gard to the course to be pursued ia South Carolina, as to the nomination of Horace Greeley for President, and the sending delegates to the Baltimore Convention. Ia my opinion, tho election of Greeley is the only hope we have of reforming the State and National Governments, and restoring tho country to peace and prosperity. It would bo suicidal folly for the Democratic party to think of making a separate nomination for Presi? dent. I will go farther, and say it would be criminal to the South, and stump tho party with a want of patriotism, and a uurrow, contracted selfishness utterly disgraceful. If tho Democratic party will now unitu with tho Liberal lie pub Heans, our suc? cess and victory aro beyond a doubt in thu Presidential election. Tho military tyrant will be hurled from bia throne, civil government restored, and tho re? public saved. Thoro ?B no difference be? tween Democrats and Liberal Republi? cans, standing on tho Cincinnati plat? form. They have the samo great aud patriotic objects in view-to restore re? publican principles'and tho rights of the ?States, to purge tho Government, State and Federal, of its corruption, extrava? gance und roguery, to give peace and prosperity to the Southern States. Why, then, should we not unite heartily and cordially with such friends and allies? lu fact, the Democratic party stands pledged in honor and good faith to endorse the Cincinnati nomination. It was so under? stood by the Liberal Republicana, from the expressions everywhere of the Demo? cratic papers, before they met in Con? vention. Horace Greeley is an honest man, and bas all his life beeo governed by princi? ple. He bas great ability, and will ad? minister the Government on sound Re? publican principles. The issues on which he so boldly and persistently op? posed the South are dead and buried. His antecedents, therefore, have nothing to do with the present contest. Should we not, therefore, exert all our inlluenoc in securing his nomination by the Balti? more Convention? I think it propel that this Couvention should meut, foi the purpose of uniting the party on Greeley and Brown, aud showing thc werld that they are willing to sacrifice all personal consid?rations aud all partj honors and aggrandizement for the good of their country. The Democratic Convention, which ii to assemble in Columbia on the 11th ol June, should, by all means, send delegate to the Baltimore Convention. The vott of South Carolina may, perchance, influ enee the nomination and endorsement o Greolcy and Brown. It wonld at leasi show our willingness to co-operate witt the friends of reform, and accept ai allies all who aro disposed to help us it our oppression and ruined condition Not to send delegates to Baltimore, woulc be unwise, unkind and supercilious. I would be a reproach to the State, undei existing circumstances, and weaken th< sympathy of oar friends everywhere North, South, E ist and West. Un less the honest Republicans of Soutl Carolina, white and black, will take u? Greeley, there is no 'hope of his getting the vote of the Stato. It would be tin basest ingratitude, on the part of tin colored people, not to support Greeley who has done more to set them free thai any other man in America. Thirty o forty years ho has foaght manfully foi their emancipation and righi of suffrage The corruption and extravagance of ou Stato Government ought to make al honest colored people rise ap and pargi it of the rogaes who are now administer ing it for their own gain, and to the seri ons injury of the colored people. Bu for the influenae of the corrupt office holders, carpet-baggers and scalawags the colorod people wonld all go for hones men and measures. They are not bene fitted by the millions which have beoi stolen io ont ich the few. I write you in great haste, and an truly and sincerely your friend, B. F. PERRY. The New York News thus undertake; to explain tho singular attitude assume* by tho World with reference to the Pre sidency: "The proprietorship of the World ha changed, and the controlling interest ha been purchased by prominent Repnbli can politicians. The sale is not to b made public until after tho Democrat) Convention meets. It is to continuo t oppose the nomination of Greeley a Baltimore, as in that way it can rende the most effective service to Grant Little, if any, chango is to be made ii its editorial department. There is n< doabt that an immense fund has beei rffised to be used exclusively for th purpose of having a straight Demoorati ticket nominated at Baltimore. Radi cals say that if that is done, not anothe dollar need ba expended to make Grant' election sore." Ia view of this speoi?o statement, am the universal surprise caused by it coarse, the World mast see the neoossit; of explaining, if it oan. ? ? ? ?

The Senate, after a contina- ] ons session of twenty-four hours, except < one hour's recess, has passed the House < amnesty bill, which, I think, although ' some exceptional cases, is a liberal bili, and will relieve tho great mass of per- j sons under disability. I nm glad, I am happy at this result. I think now o people should forevor bury deep out of j sight any animosity which they may , have entertained against Senator Robert? son on account of his political opinions, j Need I say-and no ouo has had a better opportunity to know than I-no moment of time has boeu lost by him, or oppor? tunity Buffered to escupe, to do all in his power for tho reliof of the people South. Ku has stood manfully in defence of tba people of his State, and this important measure of amnesty has been to him a source of unceasing anxiety. The cry has como up from thousands-yea, hun? dreds of thousand*-all over the South, for relief, which lia was ready at every moment of his official life to concede, and for which his labors und auriety have been unceasing. He pressed the measure in every form, by bills predi cated on petition, by amnesty bills, and by resorting to every fair device within the reach of his astute ingenuity, which bas at last culminated, at the eleventh hour, in success, and I trust to our peo pie this will be a day of jubilee. But other bills have passed with his sanction, and ono which may, at first glance, strike our people with some little sur? prise. I mean the vitalization of the Ku Klux bill, which expired by its own limitation at the adjournment of the present session. Upou a careful review of his uctiou ou this bill, no one of our people can complain of his conduct His reasons for voting for this bill are unanswerable to every mind who admits the mauy instances of lawlessness in the South; and his duty as a public mau-a United .States Senator-is to see that equal rights, equal justice, equal protec tion should ba meted out to ali; while, from my stand-point, I believe his ac? tion on this bill was not only right, but the results will inure tn the relief of the people. I feel satisfied by his action the President will at an early day restore to tho people of our State their civil rights, by restoring their most sacred rights in tho benefits of the habeas cor pas. But he voted also for Sumner's civil rights bill as amended, aud this vote is justifiable purely on principle He desires to protect and defend tho rights of every American citizeu, with out regard to the pu?t. I have, perhaps, assumed too much to speak of Senator Robertson's course in these matters without his knowledge; but, aside from strong personal friend? ship and party affiliation, as a citizen of South Carolina, I have a right to can? vass the actions of my representatives in the Uuited States Congress, and ap prove or disapprove, uuder my own con viotious of right or wrong. FRIGIDU3 BOLD ADMINISTRATION SCHEME.-We have reliable advices from Washington concerning a bold scheme meditated by President Grant and his party, to secure his re-election. This is to bo accom? plished through a Democratic nomina? tion of a third ticket at Baltimore, and to have this nomination made the Admi? nistration is exerting itself to tho utmost. A number of influential Southern men have been in rited to Washington, with? out being informed what they were to come for, and some of these gentlemen are now in that city. Their presence has led to inquiry, and it has leaked out that the Administration party has made them this proposition: If they will send delegations from the Sonthern States to Baltimore instructed to demand a Demo? cratic nomination, or to bolt the Con? vention in case it refuses to take that step, and make a nomination, the Admi? nistration party will pass tho bill to re? fund the cotton tax, grant aid to the At? lantic and Great Western Canal of \ Georgia, and grant aid and subsidies to other Southern enterprises and schemes now before Congress. This is an outline of the negotiation, and if the country will watch proceed? ings at Washington closely for the next few days, it will see u bold development of it. It is said that one or two of the Southern men interested in the enter? prises referred to are disposed to listen to the Administration's proposition, but, as a general thing, they resolutely reject it, and determino to tako their chances under the administration of Horace Greeley and a friendly Congress, rather than fall into the trap. The popular sentiment at the South is growing more emphatic for Greeley and Brown every hour, and a bargain by whioh the South? ern delegations at Baltimore should vote for a third ticket would be a gross out? rage on this popular sentiment. This is the first Administration scheme to defeat Greeley; others will follow in due time.-Si. Louis Republican. FATAL ACCIDENT.-A Swede by the name of Charles Canty, while terrapin hunting in Elliott's Cat, Ashley River, yesterday, in attempting to draw a load from his gun, was shot in the neck, and died instantly. Ho and his oompanion wore in a boat in the out, when ho tried to firo his weapon, and it would not ex? plode. Desiring to get it in good trim for tho alligator which he expeoted to meet en route, ho drew one load, and while removing the second, was fatally wounded. - Charleston Courier. It is said that Androw Strong and Sto plion Lawrey mako frequent visits to Moss Neck, aud that they often got so drunk while there that their frioods have to carry them ort" homo.

TUE SATANIC FOU WAK.-The effect of the recent treaty negotiations on the Kew York Herald is truly startling. It jomes boldly to the frout with flags .fly? ing, drums beating and guns leveled, ind breathes out threatenings and daughter against the British Govern? ment, the while it soundly cudgels and belabors our own. Tho whole contro? versy it considers a bellow mockery, in riew of the "humiliating knowledge" that while we have altogether the best of bbc argument, we "weaken" before the "superior boldness" of the English statesmen, and degrade ourselves by entertaining their "insolent demand" for our "unconditional surrender." The "timidity or incapacity" of our diplo? matic officers receive the sharpest scourg? ing which the Herald thong is capable Df inflicting. "We have bad quite enough," it says, "of weak fish, jelly fish und Spanish mackerel in our diplo? macy." Those among the Senators who counsel the "infamous surrender" will ?Iso be pilloried by an avenging pnblic, ind secret diplomatic negotiations have liad their day. As for the "commercial fossils aud charlatans" who ooansel an acceptance of the "national disgrace," ?nd a consumption of humble pie ad libitum, the Herald has no words to ade? quately express its supreme disdain. The Mexican revolution still drags its bloody length along. Every little while it is announced that the Juarez govern? ment has about bucceeded in crushing ?ut tho rebellion, and the next day brings us an account perhaps of the de? sertion of a brigade to the revolution? ists, or of an important victory achieved by Diaz. Tba civil war is apparently no nearei its termination than it was a month after it began. Well, if the Mexicans like that sort of thing, wo sup? pose other peoplo ought not to object to their enjoying themselves in their own woy, particularly as they would be sure to resent any interference. Maximilian tried to give them a stable government, and see what came of it. The attempt cost him his life. Revolution is evident? ly the normal condition of the Mexicaus. If they would only finish up the job of butchering each other, Mexico might hereafter take respectable rank among the nations. As it is, there is little or no hope of such a thing ever occurring. The Columbia correspondent of thu Charleston News telegraphs: Ex-Governor Orr and General Wade Hampton had a long conference to-day. The Mackey faction, who came to Co? lumbia intent upon the removal ol County Treasurer Gurney, are said tc have been met with a cold reception. It is said that there bau been an open rupture between the Governor and Judge T. J. Mackey, and the latter is now in the field for the gubernatorial nomi? nation. Persons exhausted by brain-work ought to go to California.

"HUMBUG! 1" "It can? not be, because Dr. Homespun says Catarrh cannot bo cured." Mow, this Dr. Homespun is the identical, good-natnred old fellow who honestly believes and persists in declaring t l^at this earth ia not round or spherical, but flat as a "elap-ji.ck," and does not turn over otherwise, the water would all be spilled out ot Deaoon Basoom's mill-pond. But astrono? mical science has positively demonstrated and proven that Dr. Homeapun ia wrong in sup? posing thia earth to be flat and stationary, and medical aoience is daily proving that he is no less mistaken and behind the timea in regard to the curability of Catarrh. In ahort, it has boen positively proven that thia world moe??, and that medical scienco is progressive -the opinion of Dr. Homespun to the con? trary notwithstanding. That Dr. Sage's Ca? tarrh Remedy will cure Catarrh, thouaanda who have used it attest. Then buy it and uso it; in doubt do not stand, You will find it in drug stores all over the land. Talk at tho Toilet-Every Indy's maid knows that tho bewitching boings who paye their triumphant way with conquered hearts, regard a splendid head of hair tue most effect? ive of all womanly fascinations. They be? lieve, and they are right, that they can lasso as many beaux with thu luxuriant ringlets and glossy braids as they can "kill at sight" with their beaming eyes. Uenoo in their "toilet talk" among themselves and with their at? tendants, tho morita of preparations for the hair are freely canvassed, and the latoat re? sult of thia discussion seems to bo tko almost universal adoption of LYON'S KATBAIRON, as an article better adapted. t> piomote the growth and hoauty ot tho "Chief Glory of Woman,' than any other at present before the world.

FATAL KA II.UO AD ACCIDENT.-Y es ter [ day afternoon, the train on the Wilming? ton, Columbia and AuguBta Railroad, due at Columbia at 1.45 P. M., ran over and instantly killed a colored boy, about eighteen years of age, named George [ Nasey. From a view of the body and i the Boene of the accident, we infer that deceased was on the lower end of the trestle, near Fisher's mill pond, and dis 1 covering that the train was rapidly ap? proaching, he endeavored to escape by ? rnnning to the npper end, and had ' actually roached that point, when he 1 must have fallen. The engineer gave all the warning possible, by blowing the ' engine whistle, Sec. ; bat it was impossi . ble to check the speed of the locomotive, as the down grade at that point is soffi ciently steep to give an itnpetas that will 1 drive a train to the depot. The body of deoeased was horribly mangled, the skull ' being crushed, tho bowels ripped oat, the legs and arms broken and doubled ? up, and the body nearly cloven in twain. ' The remains were carried about sixty steps beyond the point where first struck, I and the brains, entrails and bones scat : tered in every direction. Deceased was ! evidently returning from a fishing frolic, as his fishing rod and line was twisted i around his body, while it lay in a man? gled heap on the cross-ties, where it had I been rolled np and deposited by the passing locomotive. When quite a child, be met with an accident, we learn, on ! the Greenville and Columbia Railroad, by which he lost two or three fingers from his left., hand.
