COLUMBIA. S. C. Friday geming, May 31,1872. No Policy, No Principle. Andrew Johnson, while President of the United States, was much denounced and ridiculed by Radical partisans and his unserupulons impeachers, for claim? ing to have a "policy" of bis own, as well as a certain unmovable fixedness of political and constitutional opinion. He came safely through the storm of censure and sarcasm, however, and to? day stands higher in the estimation of all virtuous and honorable men than his successor. While his course- had been extreme in opposition to the action of the Southern States in adopting the ordinances of secession, and althongh he strenuously supported the war of the government against them, once that war was over, he was willing, like Horace Greeley and Gratz J3rown, to bary the hatchet, and look ahead to a fntnre of good will, rather than back to the ani? mosities of war, bloodshed and bitter prejudice. He sought to heal tho breaoh which had BO widely separated the sec? tions, and by substantial acts, and not by honeyed and deceptive words of peace, when there was no peace, to effect a sincere and genuine reconciliation. He had a policy, both as respected home and foreign affaire, and neither even brought humiliation on his oountry, or chagrin on any respectable oitizen of it. How different an impression from this will a rotrospeot of the last four years give to any candid or impartial ob? server] General Grant gave out during the canvass proced? n g his election that he had no settled opinion, no policy wherewith to embarrass his supporters, but would be guided by his party, and by the voice of the oountry. This was just what the Radical leaders wanted-perhaps had required. Their candidato played nicely into their hands, and beooming President, they, of course, played his cards for him, and, at the same time, the deuce with the interests and honor of the oountry. The mode in which he has enforced the reconstruc? tion measures, the terrible Ku Klux per? secutions, with all their attendant hor? rors and fiendish atrocities, in South Carolina, the wide-spread, deep and uni? versally admitted corruption of his ad? ministration, the Bhort-oomings and de feota in the civil service, the gross abases, if not collusion and personal participation in the ill-gotten gaina of the New York Custom Honso manage? ment, and such like, show a home record in full keeping with the miner able San Domingo scheme of annexation, and the impertinent and unnecessary intrusion of the indirect claims into the American case, to be followed at lost, as they have been, by their shameful withdrawal at the instance of the Gladstone Ministry. This is humiliation indeed. -The mest radioal of Gr: at's supporters feel it, and even the wretched tools and organs whose business it is to play and sing his praises and excellence, at all times and in all circumstances, have perforce be? come silent, and refuse to pipe. Satis, ohe, jam satis. TEHIUBLE REBUKE TO THE ADMINISTRA? TION.-The Savannah Republican is of the opinion that the vote in the House on the infamous Administration mea? sure to extend the law authorizing the President to sa?pend the habeas corpus at will, is one of the most significant events of the times. It sounds the death-knell of despotism in these States. It ends the rulo of power against law, and the reign of terror that followed in its wake. It tells the adherents of Grant that they have made a fatal blunder in supposing that they could keep up per? petual war between the States and tho Federal Government, and it strikes from thtir grasp the only weapon that they had intended to use in the coming strag? gle-sectional hate. We record the vote with a real, unaffected satisfaction. It is the inauguration anew of the era of law against usurpation and might, and involves a defeat of the Administration that ghouJd completely overwhelm it. It was tho last desperate move to retain abased power, and it has signally failed, leaving the party with all the sin of despotism on its head, without tho power to carry out its wicked designs against the people. THE POLAR EXPEDITION.-Capt. All? ston, late of the steamer Retriever, lost off the Newfoundland coast during the terrible storms which recently prevailed there, brings intelligence confirming a report that Capt. Hall's polar expedition had been heard from at St. Pierre, Miquelon. A Danish trader which cal led at that port about oight weeks ago brought an account of the arrival'at, Disco, Greenland, of the Polaris, in a disabledcondition. There is a wrangle over tho Enterprise Railroad, ia Charleston, and tho subject bas been turned .over to the Board of Health, and all legal proceedings are to be suspended in the meantime. ?mall-Pox on the Ocean. With the bark Athena, whioh arrived ia thia pork on the 14th instant, direot from Seemen, oomes a terrible tale of woe. To the dangers and perils of the seas were added the manifold terrors of the malignant small-pox, scarlet fever and measles, whioh cauBod the death of several of the crew and many of th? pas? sengers. The VOSSBI hod been bat two days oat of Bremea when ono of the seamen was taken ill, and in a abort time his disease had so far developed that bis shipmates were made aware that he was Buffering from small-pox. Huddled to? gether ou the ?hip were 474 passengers, emigrants to this ooantry. Precautions were at onoe taken to prevent the spread of the disease, bat others of tho crew were already infected, and were foroed to suooumb. Among the passengers were many women and children. Soon deaths began to be frequent. The sailor who was first taken ill died, and was hastily sewed ap in canvas and aonsigned to the ooeaa. Bat a few days, and un other sailor died. Already had the small-pox communicated itself to tho passengers. Strong men awoke in the morning nuable to leave their berths, and the tell-tale red blotches that soon made their appearance told all too plain? ly why they were weak. Rapidly the disease was inoculated into tbe systems of fellow-passengers, and each succeed? ing day brought fresh oases. As the bark was a sailing vessel, the provisions of the law did not demand -at its complement of ofnoers include a physician. Captain Christopher, who commanded, although an able sailor, was better versed in navigation than in medioine. The only antidotes obtaina? ble were those which were in his medi? oine chest. These were distributed as was thought bebt, and every effort made to prevent the general spread of the dis? ease. Hardly had the ofnoers begun to hope for snooess when new horrors were added to the measure that seemed* al? ready to be overflowing. Soarlet fever and measles began to appear among the children. Mothers were prostrated with the small-pox, and the little ones, in many instances, suffered for the care that might have saved their lives. Many of them were mere infants, and their little frames withstood the ravages of disease but a day or two at most. Thas whole families perished, and one after the other were sunk into the sea. The log of the ship tells a mournful tale of mortality. Twenty children, a number of them babes, who fell Bick in their mothers' arms, died before reaohing Sandy Hook. The majority fell victims to measles, but scarlet fever and small-pox also did their work. Five adult passengers and ono seaman died of small-pox, and one seaman of scarlet fever, during the voy? age-twonty-seven deaths in all. Sinae the arrival in port, five moro ohildren have died. The coroners have been notified of the faot, and propose making a thorough investigation of the cause of the calamitous events of the voyage. No sooner had tho Athena dropped her anchor, than she was quarantined, and ordered to be fumigated and cleaned. Those who were still suffering with disease were removed to the hospital. The latest oommunioation received at the coroner's office yesterday in regard to the matter, asked for an investigation into the death of two ohildren, Josefa and Federiok Sohonberg, each aged two years. The notification came from Dr. J. O. Hallock, resident physician at Castle Garden, who etated that they were 1..-.light there with five other dead bodies, and sent to the morgue At Castle Garden, there seems to be an impression that tbe mortality on board tho Athena was caused by the in? ferior quality of the food. Mr. Theo? dore Buger, the consignee, says that this impression is wholly groundless; that all provisions pat on board the ship at Bremen were thoroughly examined by Government officials, SB usual, and were of the best quality. Captain Christo? pher also declares that the provisions wore both good and abundant. The captain seems to think that the disenso was fostered by the dirty habits of tho emigrants, who wero chiefly Poles. Nothing, he declares, short of physical violence, could induce them to wash. Gn their arrival here, they were told if they did not wash, they would be sent to prison. Men and women then washed on deck, and began to clean themselves with great earnestness. Captain Christopher is in possession of a testimonial from a number of the passengers, thanking him for his kind? ness to them and expressing their plea? sure at tbe manner in whioh they had been treated. Tbe German Consol will investigate the case. - New York World. AN ATBOOIOUS MU nu ER IN BEECH ISL? AND.-At Hankinson's store, in Beeob Island, on last Saturday night, a horri? ble and altogether unprovoked murder was committed by one Thoa. Williams, a colored man, who ruthlessly tock the life of a fellow-man, also colored, named John Mi ms. It appears that Williams was beating another negro ia an unmer? ciful manner, when Minis went to Wil? liams and begged him to cease beating the mau, who was a friend of Minis, wboreupon Williams becamo very much offended with Minis, accused bim of taking up ibo fight of bis unfortunate friend, whioh Mims denied, aid after giving tbe latter the d-d lie, took ap the door bar and struck Mims a severe blow across the templo, from the effects of whioh blow be died almost instantly. An inquest was held on tho body of the deoeased on the evening of the 26th, J. P. Harling, Trial Justice, acting as Coro? ner, and a verdict returned in accord ance with tho above facts. Williams was arrested and lodged in jail at this place by Millodge Cooper, ooustablo, on j Tuesday last, where ho now awaits his trial.-Edgefield Advertiser. An English girl, who was about to be married, preferred to steal something and be sent to jail. A JDesceratecl Grave. It is not generally known that tba bro Iber of the nominee of the Cincinnati Convention is buried in Barke County, ia thia State, not a great distance from Augusta. This is believed to be the ease, however, by parties who live in the vicinity of the place. The story rous, that some time daring the year 1885 a gentleman and lady traveling through Georgia in a private convey a nco-for there were no railroads in those days stopped at the house of Gol. Augustus H. Anderson, a wealthy planter of Burke County. They were Rev. Greeuleafe Greeley and his wife, and stated that they carno from a town in the State of Maine. Mr. Greeley was then in tho last stages of consumption, aad was tra? veling through the South in the vain hope of recovering his health. Unwell when he stopped ut Gol. Anderson's, he was so ill the next day that he wus una? ble to continue his journey. He lin? gered for some time in the house of the hospitable Southerner, receiving all tho care and attention which would have boon bestowed upon a member of tho family, but finally died. In those days, we suppose, it would have been almost impossible to carry the deceased back to the North, and the body was buried in the private cemetery of the Anderson family. The widow returned to ber re? latives and friends in Maine. Subse? quently Col. Anderson had brick-work built over the grave, and upon it placed a marble slab-similar to the slabs over his own relatives-with name, ago aud residence of the deceased written upon it. Time rolled on. Thirty years passed away, and Gen. Sherman began his cele? brated maroh from Atlanta to thc sea. His army passed through Burke County, and a portion of his forces encamped upon the Anderson plantation. The Fe? deral bummers here, as everywhere else, wore intent on plunder, and appro? priated everything not too hot or too heavy to be carried. Believing that quantities of silver plate and other trea? sure had been hidden, they se'arohed for them in every direction. As was often the case, they did not spare the dead, bat rifled the family burying-ground, prizing np and breaking the marble slabs, etc. The Northern man's grave fured as badly as any of the rest, and was desecrated in a shameful manner. After the war was over, although, like all hw countryman, he fouud himself almoBt ruined, a son-in-law of Col. an? derson had the graves of the family re? stored to their former condition, and likewise the grave of the Northern minis? ter. Carious parties may now visit the grave and reud the inscription upon it for themselves. It it) suid that before his death, the minister stated he was a brother of Horace Greeley, aud it is the general belief that his statement was correct. Some may attempt to discredit the statement, by asserting that Horneo Greeley was boru in Now Hicapsuire and not in Maine. But this proves nothing, as every one knows who is acquainted with the migratory habits of tho young New Eoglaud. The evidence seems very clear that we have sleeping in Burke a brother of the philosopher of the 7'ribune, who received hospitality from and was given Christian buriul by a Southern gentleman; that his tomb wts robbed and dishonored by Federal sol? diers, and restored by a relative of his host.-Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel. AN UNFORTUNATE SHOOTING AFFAIR. On Tuesday morning last, oar young townsman, Mr. Charlie Chase, shot and wounded, fatally, a negro man by the name o? Jake Lindsay, better known, however, as Jake Moss, who died on the next day. Mr. Chase lives with his widowed grand-mother, Mrs. Samuel Brooks, conducting her farming interest and affairs generally. Jake Lindsay was hired by them, and was, under Mr. Chase, a sort of foreman of the crop. That the farming operations were to bo absolutely ordered and guided by Mr. Chase, was, we are informed, a part of the contract or agreement. On the morning of the difficulty, it seems that Mr. Chase ordered tue huuds into a certain field, but upon going to look after things, found them, with Jake, io another. Aud this by Jake's direc? tion. Mr. C. commanded them into tho other field. The negro objected, refused, and exhibited much wrath and obstinacy. We would not really bo, or appear, in tho faintest degree prejudiced in this ac? count, but from all we have been able to leurn, and from reliable sources, too, the colored mau behaved on this occasion with unbridled insolenco and blind and unreasoning obstinacy. The upshot was, that Lindsay quitted the field, hurried to the house, returned with his loaded gun, and resumed the altercation. And upon this, Mr. Chase, much excited and exas? perated, shot bim. As we go to press, an inquest is being hold upon tho body of Lindsay. Mr. Chase, having left his homo, bas not boen arrested. But he will, of bis own accord, we are assured, return after the present excitement has somewhat sub? sided, aud surrender himself to tho pro? per officers of the law. [Edgefield Advertiser. -r-.

DEATU OF JUDOE HOLT.-J migo Amasa Holt, of Macon, Ga., who waa thrown from his oat ringo and received painful injuries, a few days ago, died ou Sun? day morning. LIBERALISM-AMNESTY-JUSTICE.- ; The ultra Radical press?e are quite jubi? lant over the amnesty Act. Their f?lici? tations on the occasicn are not at all ia keeping with their psst indifference on the subject. Mr. Greeley hus stood lonely enough amongst Republicans, ap- 1 pealing to the President and to Congress ( to give the country tho benefit of an Aot of amnesty that might help to soothe the bitter animusities of the day. ' But now that this ?B done nuder the | pressure of the strong fueling in favor of j the Liberal party, the Grant journals sing hosannas to the President and Con? gress, and declare that amnesty having ' passed and become a law, there is no i longer any ground for Greeley and his followers to stand upon.. How very wido they are of the mark! Amnesty per sc waa a small matter. Dis- 1 connected from a general liberal policy 1 which shall restore personal liberty and | State equality, and tuke from the hands , of tho President tho power to shut up ?.very State Court uud Legislature in the Union, it is worth absolutely nothing. < Immediately after the ptissuge of the 1 amnesty Act, did we not see Grunt's . friend? in the Senate pass a bill extend? ing tho authority of the President to suspend the writ of habeas corpus until 1 next yeat ? What did that mean ? Did i it not imply that although they would ( give us tho uamo of freedom and equali? ty, they would still give General Graut 1 tho power over us to hang, draw and quarter ua if he pleased, and to abro- I gate all Stato uuthority at tho point of , the bayonet, if that suited hi? purpose? They would give him power over the ballot-boxes itt the Presidential efec- 1 tioa to manipulate thom to his own ad? vantage, and furthermore, the power to intimidate his opponents and favor his supporters so nu seriously to affect the aggregate votes of both sides to his own 1 advantage. Suppose that all such objects and in- , tentions be denied. We ask for what is such extraordinary power over the peo pie of the States uud their local govern? ments demauded? Is it merely to put a i means of destroying Republican govern meut and robbing tho people of their liberties into Grout's hands as a play? thing, just to please him, as we would put a toy into tho bunds of a child to amuse bim? It ?B not common for the party leaders to do any such thing. It ia eutirely out of tho order of political acts for any such authority to bo put iu men's bauds for nothing. It is always intended for something, und u but, is that something? Assuredly amnesty and the suspension of tho writ of habeas corpus are utterly muompatiblo. To tuuku the citizen free aud then buud him over to tho mercy of one mau, is robbing bim of bis rights und his liberty. That liberty which is held by tho fruil tenure of ono man's will aud caprice is no liberty ut all, and a Republic which puts personal liberty in such peril is a mockery. The Amnesty Act was ooerced, and its passage, was a tribute to that Liberalism which linds no place iu Radical hearts. Their true spirit is developed in the act of the Radical Senators immediately afterwards, which went to place every citizen under thu unlimited tyrauny of ono mau. The Liberal Greeley amnesty is but a part of a system of measures iotouded to restore equality to States and citizens; to re-establish local State authority; to lift up the pressure of per? secutions of tho South by carpet-bug rule; to establish honest administration of Federal affairs under the guide of the Constitution and laws, and to bring the whole people together iu harmony and fraternal good will. That ia the Cincin? nati platform.-Richmond Dispatch. SWALLOWING GKEELEY.-The follow? ing is from a speech by Major Wm. ?. Nelson at tho Decatur, Illinois, Demo? cratic mass meeting: It is truly refreshing to note the late growth of respect of Graut partisans for the Democratic party us a party. It amounts almost to veneration. Their solicitude for its iuterests is getting to bo immense. They kindly propose its course of action for it. They say to us, "Now is tho time for tho Democratsl If ever you had a chance, now is the titnel You ought to run a straight ticket, by all means!" They ask us, "Are you Democrats going to lot n fac? tion, a few sore-heads-calling them? selves Liberal Republicans-swallow the Deninoratic party?" Now, gentlemen, I want to answer that question by putting one or two to my interrogator. I want to ask bim: "Did you ever see a sardine swallow u whale?" If he says he did, then I want him to describe the process, and tell where the sardine begau ou the whale when he commenced swallowing; whe? ther, like a mau, be commenced ut the head, or slipped around aud commenced ut the tail? And, when he has told me how it was done, then I want to ask him if thesardino, after it bus swallowed the whale, didn't huve n good deul of whule in it-if it didn't, in fact, look a good deul like a wbule itself? They ask IIB again : "Can yon Demo? crats swallow Greeley?" I confess I am somewhat out of practice ia this swal? lowing business. I haven't swallowed anything that tasted like a President ol tho United States for nearly twenty-four years. I remember thur, in 1?48, I managed to get down a Mujor-Geuerul of the United States army aud a horse; he wus a white horse, too-they culled him "Old Wuitie." Having been so unac? customed to tho thing, I am not alto? gether conlident of my swallowing ca? pacity, and don't want to say now that I can swallow Greeley, nor do I want to say that, with a liberal share of Demo? cratic encouragement and assistance, I could uot, in November next, swallow an old editor and something white-say au old white hut.

COTTON "FUTURES."-A New York cotton dealer, in a letter noticing the effect of tho establishment of the Cot? ton Exchange of thatoity, in developing the business in cotton for future delive? ry, which has now attained snob vast proportions, takes occasion to give to the planters of the South a bit of wholesome and timely advice. He says: "Whether this new departure is to ul? timately benefit the planter, the factor, tue dealer, or the spinner, is still a rid? dle; and if either is to be more directly the gainer than the other by as complete a metamorphosis ns this new system of future contracta has created, no one class thus far is given the credit of prominent favoritism. It is generally admitted by all in interest that the marketing of cot? ton for delivery far into the future by the planter is, and is to be the fact. The securing of such contracts by the spin? ner must grow and become, in course of time, an equal part of the same fact, and the object of this note to your good journal is to hint to the planters through? out tbe South the utility of preparing the orops this season and those of the future to meet the rigid requirements of the New York Cotton Exchange. New and improved maohinery for ginning cannot fail to pay large dividends, as low grades containing sand, leaf or seed can? not be delivered, and always find a hard and unsatisfactory market. False pack? ing, light bales, and those containing gin-tug or water damage, always inter? fere with the deliveries, and always cost; the owner many times more than any labor or oare needed in firtt rendering the bales merchantable. A bale of cot? ton weighing about 400 pounds, and in good order, of any grade, from good or? dinary to good middling, inoluding half grades, returns to the own er its full grade value according to contract price. Lower grades, or singular cottons, do not, and the Booner the planter finds it out and acts upon it, the better for him and for his agent in this market, as well as all concerned." BOND PAID.-It will be remembered that Dr. Edward T. Avery, of this County, while on trial before tbe United States Court in Columbia, last winter, on a oharge of violating the "Enforcement Act," departed from the court before the conclusion of the trial. Proviens to the commencement of the trial,- he had been admitted to bail in a bond of $3,000, with Capt. J. Thomas Lowry, of this County, as surety. Shortly after the departure of Avery, the court order? ed the bond to be declared forfeited, and for several weeks past property belong? ing to Messrs. Avery and Lowry bas been advertised to be sold on the first Monday of next month, with a view to making the amount of the boud. By a despatch, however, from the United States Marshal, we now learn that Capt. Lowry ha8 Pai(* tue bond, and the pro? perty been withdrawn from sale. ?
