COLUMBIA, S. C. Tuesday Horning, June 4,1872. Another Party In the Field. The ultra Free Traders, or Revenue Reformers, who were at first associated with the Liberal movement, appear dis? satisfied with the sensible disposition which the Cincinnati Convention made of their darling idea of revenue reform, and liavo held a meeting ia Now York, looking to tho organization of a purely froe trade party. William Cullen Bry? ant and David A. Wells may bo regarded as tho master spirits of tho movement, and lend to it the influence of their in? dividual ability, earnestness nnd stain? less integrity. We should be happy to Bee a squaro issuo madeboforo tho coun? try upon the question of freedom of ex? change, as opposed to the present tariff system, by misnomer dubbed protection. We believe that it will bo made at a not distant future, and are inclined to view the present demonstration as indicative of the origin of a new party, and one which is destined in a short period to suppl im t all other political organization/'. The South and West are at one in their opposition to the present absurd and ruinous system of tariff, and there is no small portion of the North, too, which joins in the opposition. The advocates of free trade are an questionably far ahead in numbers of the monopolists, and will evince when the opportunity offers. Bnt we regret to Bee the ques? tion raised in the present Presidential canvass, for the 'simple reason thnt we believe its effeot will only be to strengthen the chancos of Grant's reelootion, and the continued supremacy of tho extreme Radical faction of the Republican party, whioh, among its other and greater sins, is the most bitter opponent of free trade. In our judgment, theOinoinnati Con? vention, in leaving the question of re? venue reform entirely to Congress, to which it must be finally entrusted any way, adopted the wisest aourse that oonld possibly bo suggested, under exist? ing circumstances. There are other, if not more important, at least moro press? ing demands, npon the care and atten? tion of the people in the present emer? gency, than the matter of revenue re? form. When the very bulwarks of civil liberty are in imminent peril of being destroyed by the ruffian hand of a military tyrant; when the chief heritage of Ame? rican freemen, the glorious writ of 7tabeai corpus, is denied them, and the people of sovereign States are being pers?cut?e by the minions of a central Government, while being plundered by its tools at home; when corruption and extrava? gance characterize every operation ol Government; when, in short, our Repnb lican institutions are themselves invader! and personal liberty even not guaran? teed, we cannot turo our attentior. solely to a matter whioh, however im portant, affects only our material pros perity. Revenue reform isa minor eon sideration just now. Let us first eecuu a return to constitutional govern men and the re-establishment of civil nu ? thority in its rightful throne. John W. Forney grows gloriously merry over the fact that the State o Calhoun, Preston and Legare will b< represented in the National Republioai Convention by their former Africai slaves. We can see little in such a con BU m mat ion for any Republican who love, his country and respects himself to re joice oyer. It is glorying in one's owi shame. But how wonld Mr. Forne; like to see the great State of Pennsylva nia represented by the same class of peo pie? Wonld he be merry or sad ove that? This is the proper test, and w hope he will answer tho question. Tho South must present a united nm determined front at Baltimore. Sh will meet there a strong minority froc the North who will demand a "strnigb Demooratlo ticket." Failing in thei object, it looks very much as if that mi nority will split the Convention, as wa done at the Charleston Democratic Con vontion in 1860. Whatever the Sontb ern delegates do, let them move in on solid column and oast a united vote fe Southern interests. The State of Arkansas strikingly Ulm trates the beauties of the Radical syston The taxes there amount to some four c five per cent., and assessors, not eleote but appointed, assess property at abot three iimes its valne. No wonder tl people are anxious to get rid of tl Grant-Clayton rulo. Nor is the ease i Arkansas an insolated one. The who South is cm Rh ed ander the debas it tyranny of Grant and his tools, Feder and State. Foin years nore of Grai and Radicalism might bring the Soatl ern situation homo to the people i othei sections. A San Francisco conrt hos decid? opium eating not intemperance. Judge Willara for Governor. - Martin B. Delaney, ohairman of some Republican committee, society or organi? zation of some character in Charleston, his addressed a communication to Judge Willard, inquiring whether he would ao oept the nomination for Governor of the State, upon a certain platform which De? laney dets forth. Judge Willard replies, signifying his readinoss to accept the no minatiun and to act up td the conditions required. These oro honesty and econo? my in the Administration, a homestead for the landless, to bo sold thom by tho State at a reasonable price, and at long time, perfection of tho freo school sys? tem, and an equal distribution of the offices between whites and blacks. There are other Republicans, and of that party of course oar next Governor must be, whom we would prefer to see in tho gu? bernatorial chair. But we would not wring our hands in despair if we should see Judge Willard, with a complement of other officers as good as himself, take tho places of B. K. Scott and his present subordinates. Judge Willard is a man of strong an ti Southorn prejudices, and a groat stick? ler for what ho conceives to be the bet? ter way of his folks "to ham." He is thought to be honest, however; is not considered to have had any hand in the rascalities of the ring; is a man of no in? considerable ability; is dignified in his deportment and deocnt in his associa? tions. Upon tho whole, we think tho Jodge would do pretty well, and the State would not make a bad bargain to trade Scott off for him. We havo greatly feared that Scott would be succeeded by some member of the same ring; that there might be a shifting of segment?, bot tho same old ring would remain in power. We are, therefore, pleused to see Judge Willard's name suggested. It ia indicative of an effort for reform in the Bepublican ranks, and may induce tho other side, if there bo another side, to pat forward even a more acceptable man than Judge Willard. Who knows? As to the platform, we seo nothing in it to object to, except that we think the homestead' scheme impracticable and perhaps useless. Tho homesteads are to bo provided, so Delaney says, without an increase of taxation., We hope this does not mean that Delaney and his party are satisfied with the present rate of taxation, and in? tend to give ns no reduction. $5,000,000 annually taken from an impoverished and straggling people, is too heavy a bardon to be borne, when it is well known that $800,000 would be amply sufficient to defray all reasonable ex? penses, including a liberal allowance for the free school fund. If the State had unoccupied lands to dispose of, it would be very proper to divide it oat among poor men; bat there is bound to be some heavy swindling done whon the State undertakes to bay land and sell it again. Land is sold every sales-day at the varions County seats in the State for from twenty-five cents to two dollars per acre, and good land at that. Almost any poor man, who is not a lazy, good-for naught, oan supply himself at these sales with as much land as ho desires. Many negroes have already bought land in this way-moro by far than have ob? tained homesteads under tho operations of the infamous Land Commission. The Metropolitan Greeley and Brown Campaign Club has beon organized in Rich mond, Ya., with a fino list of mem? bers. TUe President is Franklin Ste? rns. a thorough Republican. Among tho Vioe-PresidentH are Judge Robert Ouhl, Judge John A. Meredith, General J. D. Imbodon, General Bradley T. Johnson, W. B. Isaacs, Wm. S. White, and other prominent citizens. Tho other officers are all gentlemen well known and high? ly respected in that community and throughout the State. CORRECTION.-Mr. H. Noah, Gov. Scott's private secretary, has published the following correction of a card re? cently published in the New York Post: In your issao of the 27th ultimo, you publish, for the general information of the pablio, a letter from this office to Messrs. Webb and Haestis, of yoar city, in relation to the prospoots for the re? newal of interest payments on tho bond? ed debt of this State. I hand you herewith a oopy of that letter, from which you will see that the month stated when the likelihood of payments would be made is January, 1873, instead of July, 1873. This is either a typographi? cal error, or Messrs. Webb and lluostis have wilfully perverted tho letter to their own special purposes. The taxes are not collected in this State nntil November, 1872, and there? fore no payments oan be expeoted to be made for interest before the month of January following. The Legislature made no provision for the payment of the July interest. Letters ol the same import and bearing as that addressed to Messrs. Webb and Huestis have been sent to C. B. Raymond, P. O. box 2,254, A P. Oonklin, Esq., 238 Bowery, and many others in your city. A TERRIOLE ARRAIGNMENT OF THE AD MINISTHATION.-Senators Sumner and Sohnrz threw well-charged bomb-shells right into the Grant camp on Friday, and they exploded with terrible effeot. It has been the intention of tho Admi? nistration Senators all along to prevent, if posBiblo, any debate on the report of tho investigation of tho salo of arms to tho French Government during the French-Gorman war. The majority of tho committee had made up what Mr. Sumner appropriately termed their "whitewashing report." They had cast tho most serions imputations ou thc character of tho Senators at whoso in? st un ea the investigation took place, and proposed that their report should go forth ns a aampaigu document without a reply from tho other sido. But Mr. Sumner and Mr. Schurz were determined to be heard. Tho mujority of the Senate having refused to set npurt an evening for the discussion of the committee's report, Mr. Sumner availed himself of a parliamentary privilege, and moved to post pone iudefiuitely the pending appro? priation bill, and upon that motton made bis great speech. Tho correspond? ent of the Baltimore Sun writes: Tho political sensation at tho capitol to-day has boen an unexpected and yet most elaborate speech from Mr. Sumner in arraignment of President (inuit und his administration. He got tho floor iu the Sonate by a parliamentary manouvre, whioh quito surprised tho administration Senutors, and bold it for four hours iu an exhaustive and carefully-prepared speech, which soon attracted well-rilled galleries and crowded the Sonate floor with cager privileged lisieuers. lu the last hour, nearly nil of thc members of the House wero present. It is declnred by the older ?Senators that there has never been a speech in Congress, even when the warfare was made on Andrew Johnson, thut equaled this fur an indict? ment of the personal, as well ns the political, record of a President. Not one single priviteor publio act of Pro aident Grant's civil lifo appeared to have escaped the Senator's notice, for he held it up to view iu a broad glare of in? vective and censure, and added to the matter of thu speech au earnest and vigorous forco of delivery. He arraigned him ns a gift-taker, a nepotist and a failure; declared that he spent his time with fast horses, in palace cars autl loitering nt tho sea-side. Tho public ucts of his administration were as tear? fully assailed. He maintained that bis government was a personal one; that it commanded no respect at home or abroad; that it bad dono uothiug to com? mend it to the country; that its r?duc? tion of tho public debt did not deserve as much credit as that of Andrew John son; that it was falso to the colored peo? ple, sud a failure, so fur ns it had any? thing to do with reconstruction; while its foreign policy, of which it liad at? tempted to boast, was the most disgrace? ful muddle of tho age. This merely in? dicates the general tenor of his remarks. Tho frieuds of the President on the floor, who were even characterized among other "rings" ns the "Senatorial ring," gave the speech closo attention, us is not their wont usually when Mr. Sumner speaks, and took notes for a reply. When ho had concluded, Mr. Schurz obtuiucd the floor, but it was now late, and the Missouri Senutor did not wish to proceed without rest aud refreshment. Mr. Sumner, Mr. Trumbull, Mr. Bayard und other geutlemou appealed for a re? cess, or an adjournment; but the Admi? nistration Senators, under the lead of Morton and Coukliug, would not at first accord this courtesy, whioh had never before been refused. After much effort, however, the Senate, at 6 o'clock, agreed to a recess until 8 o'clock. At the latter hour, the galleries were again crowded to their utmost capacity, and even the passages and doorway* were thronged with anxious spectators. Mr. Schurz madu a two hours' speech, full of force and power, and gave the fiuifahiug touches to the blows winch Mr. Sumner .so effectively dealt the Adminis? tration iu tho afternoon. TUE HENDRICKS KIDNAPPING CASE.-It appears from the Atlant i exchanges that a persistent effort is being made to shield Deputy Marshal H. W. Hendricks from tho consequences of his alleged forgery, in altering a bench warrant i ss nod fi om the Uuited States District Court of this Stato aud arresting an innocent citizen of Georgia, by obtaining tho interven? tion of tho Uuited States District Court iu Georgia. A writ of habeas corpus haviug been gruuted by that court, as al? ready reported, tho argument upon its return was begun last Wednesday, aud gave promise of being loug and tedious. The relator, Hendricks, is represented by Uuited States District Attorney Far? row aud General Gartrell, who h..ve sub? mitted an elaborate aud extremely inge? nious brief in delenco of their client, in whioh the principal points are, that the United States Court bas exclusive juris? diction in the aase; that there is no State law agi.inst counterfeiting or alter? ing a bench warrant issued by the Uuited States Court; that there is no evidence that the relator altered the process in this case, hut it is provon that the names of Hancock and Spears, inserted therein, are not in his hand-writing, and that he was not present when they were inserted; and the evidence shows conclusively that relator knew nothing of snob inser? tion, nor did he have anything to do with it whatever. The other side is rep? resented by equally able counsel, includ? ing* Major Spencer and Colonel Ham? mond, and private letters from Atlanta say that it is not probable that Hen? dricks will bo allowed to escape from the clutches of the law by means of a mere technicality. Ono trader in Now York lately sold 275,000 Greeley badges and only 8,450 of Grant, in three days. Public Meeting. COLUMBIA, S. C., Jo?o 3, 1872. ID accordance- with the call of the Pre? sident of the Richland Domooratio Club, a meeting was this day held in the Oonrt Honan, for the purpose of selecting delegates to tho State Democratic Con? vention, to bo hold in this city, on tho 11th inst. The Chairman, Capt. W. B. Stauley, having explained tho object of tho meet? ing, on motion of Col. F. NV. McMuster, a committee of fivo-Mrsars. F. W. McAllister, W. NV. Whito, John McKen? zie, Edward Hope, E. H. Loomis-was appointed to nom?nalo- ten delegates to represent this Couuty. After a short absence, tho commit too returned, willi tho following nomina? tions: W. B. Stanley, Jacob Devin, John P. Thomas, M. C. Butler, Ii. O'Noale, Jr., D. B. DeSaussure. J. H. Kinsler, W. H. Slack, James P. Adams, S. G. Garner. , Upon motion, the noniiuutiou wus con? firmed. Upon motion, it wan referred to the delegation to make tho necessary ar? rangements for tho holding of the State Convention. W. B. STANLEY, President. R. O'NBATJB, JR., Socrotary. Mu. EDITOR: One of the worst stab i that could be given to the Liberal Re? publican party, would bo tho endorse? ment of its candidates by a formul Demo? cratic nomination t Baltimore. Those who advise the sending of delegates from South Carolina certainly have not considered what a vast advantage they aro giving tho extremo Radicals, by enabling them to drive off the colored population from Greeley, by the obvious expedient of. pointing th< m to tho flag of tho Democracy, unfurled in his Rup port. Thia would bo enough to throw 30,000 mnjoritfcof tho votes in South Carolina against him. No ono questions tho honest inten? tions of those who advise this measure; but it may bo fatal, nevertheless, to tho rising hopes of un oppressed and ruined people. It is timo to luok for "skillful uiaungemont" in political movements, us well ns for good intentions. Hereto? fore tho peoplo of the South havo not hud this udvautago, nui they have suf? fered unheard-of cruelties thereby. They have a right now to demand u chungo iu tho policy of their advisers. They never will forget what they have suffered already, and they cannot afford to Buffer any more, even from honest mistakes of judgment. Tho bloody scenes enuctod from 1SG1 to 18G5, and tho horrors of the "penca" that have ensued, ure a warning to trust no longer to tho signals displayed on tho rocky coasts where so many ships have already been wrecked. This movement in favor of u convention at Baltimore, seems" to tho writer, to be another of these signals, and potent for mischief, whether it en? dorses the Cincinnati movement or op? poses it. It is cheering to see KO muny of tho leading minds of tho State coming for? ward to the support of Greeley und Brown; but all they can do will be check-mated that moment Greeley and Brown are identified, in the smallest de? gree, with the Democrats as a "party." The best courre, therefore, would be to have no convention at Columbia. Let the people stand off from it, and go to the polis on tho day of eleotion and quietly deposit their ballots. Let those who feel so very grateful to tho extreme Democrats, for thoir past sufferings, call them together again, if they choose; and take auotlier lessoUj if they have not alreadv bud enough. "ULYSSES." A Diicuiilon of the Situation. To Ike Editor of the Charleston News. SIR: lu tho urtielo which, by your in? dulgence, yesterday, appeared in the News, it was argued that the sending of delegates to Baltimore, as is proposed, would involve tho whito people of tho Slate iii the dilemma of having either to conform to tho decision of that conven? tion, or to announco beforehand their purpose not to do so. It was also argued that tho movements uow on foot will inovitubly rtvivo the party feelings of 18(38, HO disastrous to tho State, and that the very same rea? sons which existed in 1870 for avoiding party issues aro moro strongly operative now. Upon tbeso grounds it WUB concluded that both tbo BUCCCSS of tho Cincinnati movement and the prospects of reform in South Carolina would be injuriously affected if -a Stato delegatiou should bo sent to Baltimore. In resuming tho topic, it may bc as? sumed that thu primary and paramount consid?ration with all the people of South Carolina ie, or ought to be, a good local government; that tho chief political question for them is, or ought to be, how to secure the needed reforms in the most certain manner; and that the only practical measures they can favor will be such as aim at tho accomplishment of this purpose. It may also bo assumed that iu the present political condition of the State, the reformation of the local government cannot be effected, unless, iu the absence of party contests, a coalition be formed especially for the purpose, embracing all the good citizens, without distinction of party or race. If this bo BO, what chance will there be of effecting any reform at all, or even of attempting a combination for that purpose, while tba white people of the State are reviving their Democratic or? ganizations under the old leaders, and renewing their affiliations with the na? tional Democracy? Is it not certain that tbeso proceedings must re-establish tho old antagonisms of party? But it may bo said that this will be neutralized by tho action of tho Balti moro Convention. That the adoption of the Cincinnati platform and the nomi? nation of Greeley and Brown .-ill pargo the movement of its taint of Demo oraoy, and that thus a door of r?concilia? tion between whites and blacks will be opened. Unfortunately, this cannot stand sera tiny, for nono can doubt that the only point at issue between the Cincinnati aud Philadelphia wings of the Republi? can party, which excites any interest here, is tbut us to the Enforcement Act. But this is just precisely the issue which, if iutroducud hero, will widen the breach between the races, extend and confirm the influence of the most ?xtremo and impracticable men on both Bides, and utterly destroy every reasonable hopo of bringing about harmony among our people, and such mutual confidence be? tween tho races ns is universally recog? nized to be essential to the political re? form of the State, and tho peace, happi? ness and prosperity of ber population. But if tho movements referred to will certainly defeat all hope of reform through tho Sta'.u elections in October, do they promise us compensation through tho instrumentality of the Pre? sidential election? Tako tho most ex? tremo supposition. Suppose the Presi? dential election turned upon the nomina? tion at Baltimore, and this depended solely upon the casting vote of the South Carolina delegation, and tbut this vote being given for Greeley and Brown, they come in dno time into office. Now, what will thin delegation have really ac? complished for themselves, their imme? diate constituents, or tho people of the State generally? Some changes may occur among Federal office-holders, but evou if the new appointees should be acceptable, which is to be very much doubted, the result would be greatly ont of proportion with its cost to us. None can suppose that tho mere moral force of Mr. Greeley's election will con? strain the State officials here to become different from what they are, or that a kiud of subtle influence will be radiated from Washington, which, penetrating the Republican party here, will purify it by converting its dishonest elements or eliminating them. If anything practical in the way of local reform can bo expected from Mr. Greeley's administration, it must bo looked for iu somo other than a superna? tural way-but what other wuy is there? First, tho Cincinnati platform forbids the President or Congress to meddle at all in State affairs. Secondly, Mr. Gree? ley, if untrue to his principles, must be supported by appropriate congressional legislation. Thirdly, if both tho Presi? dent and Congress collude to do what it is intended to make the Baltimoro Con vuntiou declaro unconstitutional, name? ly, to interfere with the regularly consti? tuted authorities of a State, what can they do that will ba beneficial? Usurped powers eau generally be used to oppress and injure, but Luver to reform and benefit. If we do not reform our Slate Govern? ment, aud improve our local administra tion ut the polls in October next, they will not be and cannot bo altered after the iib of March. If we run mad after tho Liberal Re? publican declaration against the Enforce? ment Act, we sell ourselves to a new party for the only political concession that is not only absolutely valueless to us, (since tho publio sentiment of the country has already condemned it,) but which carries with it the elements of do? mestic dissension and disorder. If we revive the Democratic party in South Carolina, we prolong the hopeless straggle which has brought ns to oar present condition. What, then, shall we do? With all diffidence, I reoommend: 1. That we make no organization whatever, and have no meetings or con? ventions, and conduct no discussions concerning the Presidential election. It is a matter; in which we are powerless to accomplish anything, in which our inte? rest is remote and minute, and about which we really know little, and may well care less. 2. That in the calm thus produced, good citizens use their best exertions to harmonize old antagonisms, to improve the character of the local officials and members of the Legislature to be chosen in October, and to bring iuto the publio service at home or in Congress the bebt of the available men. Respectfully. W. L. T. BEADS ANE BIBLES.-Red Cloud, who, with his fellow-obiefi, was entertained on a little Potomac river steamboat ex? cursion by Mr. Blackmore, an English? man, is reported to have made the fol? lowing significant speech to that gentle? man, over a glass of wine: "My great-grand-father und my grand? father' have told mo that tho English were always kind and just to oar people. Since your people left ns, we have not been treated justly. We have been driven back from the great waters to w h 01 o we now are, and even now an effort is being made to take from ns the little land we have left. It is true they have given as beads and Bibles, bat we sometimes think we don't have the best of the bargain." Here is a pew idea for a fair. Some ladies of Boston raoked their fanoy to devise something new, by whioh they could get money ont of the pookets of the gontlemen attending a certain fair, and Bettled on the following plan: They bad an apron table and a neck-tie table. Tbe neck-ties were made of the same ma? terials, and matched the aprons. The ladies bought tbe aprons, or the gentle? men bought them for them, and every gentleman was informed he mast par chase a neok-tie. Tho neck-tie secured, ho was expeoted to take the lady who wore the apron to match it, to the ioe cream table, and order ice cream for her and himself. By this sharp practice the ivprons wore sold, the neck-ties were sold and tho ice oream also disposed of, and it was all for the benefit of the church. o o gt 1 It ema.
