COLUMBIA, S. C. "Wednesday Horning, June 6,1872. Mr. Sumner'* Speech. The great event of the day is the pow? erful arraignment of Grant by Sumner, (in the Senate, on Friday last. The speech was a most elaborate one, skillful -ia arrangement, abounding in authori? ties, pleasing in its rhetoric and most irresistible in its conclusion. The New York Herald-though a strong advocate of Grant-is forced to say of the effect t of Mr. Sumner's speech upon Grant: "Every weak point in the armor is . pieroed and punctured until, as he draws to a close, it seems as if' there were not an unpunotared square inch from the .helmet to the heel." Mr. Sumner opens with au avowal of his fidelity to the Republican party, re? fers to his connection with it at its origin An 1851, his persistent labors iu its be " half np to the present doy, and expresses ''his deep sorrow at seeing this great party, v primarily so pare in its principles, and apparently destined to endure forever, and continue its efforts for the good of 'man, subjeoted to the will of one man ad made an ignominious instrument of despotism. Then comes the crushing attack upon Grant, whose nepotism, dis ? graceful habit of receiving gifts, utter . disregard of the Constitution and civil 1 law, military usurpations and personal unfitness for his high position, are por? trayed in words of eleotrio power and ^?loquence. He enters into an exhaustive . discussion of nepotism, traces its origin -away back to the Papal history of Borne, -dissects it, shows its nature and influ? ence, and recites from the letters and -works of our greatest statesmen-Jeffer? son, Washington, Madison, Adams and others-passages showing the utter ab faorenoe whioh these great men felt of auoh an abase of power and trust, and .compares their pure example with the -disgraceful conduct of Grant, who bas - appointed more of his relatives to office . than all the other Presidents pat toge? ther, from Washington down. The - "taking of gifts" is next attacked, and its baneful results dearly shown. The ?wards of Scripture: "Thou shalt not .wrest judgment, thou shalt not respect ^persons, neither take a gift, for a gift .doth blind the eyes of the wise," furnish -a text to the great Senator, and he harls -his shafts of satire and of vehement in? dignation right and left into the exposed ^breast of the greatest gift-taker of the world. ? Grant is compared in this respect to Washington, Brougham and other great mon, and an incident is related of Wash? ington who, even while out of public servies, refuted to accept a gift of cer? tain shares in a canal company, Baying as one of his reasons for refusing, "If I , -accepted, should I not henceforth be -considered as a dependent?" The Santo Domingo annexation s?beme oomes in, too, to afford the Senator a striking in? stance of Grant's usurping disposition, rand desire to seise opon the war powers of the Government. The unauthorized stipulation of Grant with Baez, through his military aid-de-oamp, his promise to lobby the soheme through the Senate, bia despatching men-of-war to Santo Dominigo, actually occupying a part of -the territory of an independest nation, and assuming control of it as a part of the United States, are dwelt upon with .great earnestness; and the violations of the Constitution and of international ? law made manifest. Sumner charges -that Grant would not have dared to un? dertake saoh a oourse toward any white government, and considers the affair as an insult to the black race. On this point Mr. Sumner closes by saying: "Let met confess, sir, that while at each stage I have felt this tyranny most ?keenly, and never doubted that it ought to be arrested by impeachment, roy feel? ings have been most stirred by the out? rage to which, besides being a wrong to to the black republic, was an insult to .tho colored race, not only abroad but (here at home. How a chief magistrate, with 4,000,000 of colored fellow-citizens, oould have done this thing, passes com? prehension. Thia outrage was followed by an iooident in whioh the same senti? ments were revealed. Frederick Doug? lass, remarkable for his intelligence as for Iiis eloquence, and always agreeable in personal relations, whose only offence vis a skin not entirely Caucasian, was -selected by the President as one of the .commissioners to visit Santo Domingo,' and yet on his roturo, and almost within ? sight of the Executive mansi?n, ha waa .repellad' from the oommon table of the mail steamer on the Potomac, where the -other commissioners were already seated, and through him waa the African race dnsulted and their equal rights denied. ?Bot the President, whose commission he bad borne, neither did nor said anything to right thia wrong, and, a few days later, when entertaining the commis? sioners at the Exeoative mansion, actually forgot the colored orator, whose cervices he had sought. Bat this in? dignity is in unison with the rest. After Insulting the black repnblio it is easy to /ace how natural it waa to treat with in? sensibility the representative of the African race." THE HUMAN FLOOD.-A Berlin corres? pondent of a paper of Manchester, England, reports that there never has been snob a rush for America as is now made from Germany. The railroads to Hamburg and Bremen are representad QB crowded by emigrants longing to em? bark for the promised land. The great majority of these are said to be skilled mechanics and artisans, who will bring their education, talents, industry and money to enrich the United States. Without donbt most of these will go to the West and North-west; but we trust that some of them, at least, will be in? duced to seek the fairest field for their industry and mechanical capacity; whiob is to be found in the Booth. If means could be employed to divert but ono tenth of this life-giving stream of Gor? man immigration to our section, it would be Buffioient for tho present, beoause such are the numberless advantages offered-throughout the Sun th to Bettlers, that they would be quickly made known to the populations of Europe, who would soon follow in multitudes.

MURDEROUS AFFBAT AT GRAHAM'S CROSS ROADS.-OU lost Saturday night, a white man, residing and engaged in the turpentine business at Graham's Cross-Roads, on the North-eastern Rail? road, was Bssanltod and so badly wound? ed by a negro, that bat little hope is'en? tertained of his recovery. The two bad a misunderstanding, in which the negro picked np a brick and struck the white man on the head, felling him to the ground. While the latter was thus lying senseless, the negro went off, and having cat a tough stick and sharpened the point, be returned to the prostrate mau and jobbed it into the latter's breast. The point entered between the ribs, jost below the heart, inflicting a serious and, it is thought, fatal wound. A. physician was called in and afforded every assistance, but he gave it os his opinion that the wound was bleeding in? ternally, and that the wounded man coald not live. The negro, seeing what he had done, took to the woods and made his encape. A strong posse went io pursuit of him.-Charleston News. An Editor Becomes m Circa? Actor-Peril? ?nd Pleasures of ? Showman's litre. There is no end to newspaper enter? prise now-a-days. The latest ease we hear of is the original idea oonoei* cd ny one of the gentlemen at tao bod vo the New York Times, who took it into-bia bead to join a traveling cirons company for the purpose of giving the readers of that paper an insight into the inner life of the saw-dust knights and their span gled-back equestriennes. We give a few extracts from the writer's experience: The afternoon performance was about to begin, so I waa divested of my jour? nalistic jaoket, thrust into a scarlet ooat that was too small for me, and told to assist in putting tho fancy trappings on the ladies' horses, and make myself gene? rally useful in tho eu try-way of the ring. Within twenty minutes of my engage? ment my "boss" confidently told the ring-manager thut "that now supe you've took on don't seem to amount to much. " The ring-manager replied, however, that it was none of his business; tbat Mr. Howes had taken me on. An hour after? ward, my "boss" declared to Mr. Howes himself tbat 1 wasn't worth a oent a day, and that lie had butter "shake" me us soon os possible. Before the perform? ance waa half- over he had sworn at mu a dozen times for idling about, (ignorance of my duties compelled me to confine my effort!] to carrying the rosin-board, on which the acrobats and gymnasts rubbed the soles of their shoes, into tho riug.) and after the final act ho indig? nantly remonstrated with Mr. Howes, whose unusual passiveness he could not understand. I had not long been a member of the circus troupe before I discovered that all my previous ideas with regard to this class of people were totally erroneous-at least so far as those with whom I was thrown in contact were concerned. I had expected to find my? self among a rollicking, roystonng sot uf mon, who preferred short pipes and tobies of alu to wine and segara, and whose dressing-room was a theatrical ex? hibition of everything that is coarse and objectionable. And I had more than a vague suspicion that some of the ladies might be a little loose in their actions of strict propriety. I was astonished to meet a oompauy of staid and decorous ladies and gentlemen, quiet and rather reserved in manner, and, so far from having a liking for dissipation, that they were only too anxious to get to bed as soon as they got home from the aven ibg's performance. I traveled with the tent-men one morn? ing for the express purpose of seeing thu tents erected. They were put np, both the circus and the menagerie tents, in a little under two hours. Now, tbe circus tent itself, though not so big as the Circus Maximus of old Rome, which wa) one mile in circumference, is 130 fi'ot aorosB, and holds over 0,000 people. One would have thought that it would oocupy a whole day to put up the seats alone. The menagerie tent is only a lit? tle smaller than the circus tent. As soon SB the animal cages and chariots arrive, their canvas coverings are removed, the tires, niles and springs are examined, and the dust or mud removed from the wheels. Presently the Omnibusses, rockaways aud buggies, containing the performers and the band, begin to arrive in rapid succession, their occu? pants hurrying away immediately for the dressing-tents. Of the ladies' dressing tent of course I am unable to aay any? thing. The men's tent presents a most curions spectacle in the oourse of five minutes. In tbe centre stands a sort ot high pedestal, with.small looking-glossee arranged on the top. Before one glass stands the "funny" clown, applying any amount of mutton fat to his face and neck, before he puts on the powdered whitening and vormillion paint, which is to give to bis face the conventional, half ghastly, half-comical appearance whioh olowus affect. At the next glass stands a stalwart fellow, with nothing on but fleshings and a pair of high jack-boots, dyeing his moustache to a beautiful black. Peeping over his shoulder is a compa? nion, whose only garment is supposed to be a steel corselet, putting at least a quarter of s pint of oil upon bis hair. All around are huge cases; one filled with breast-plates, another with helmets, others with lances, flags and banners, aud others with great crimson jack? boots. "Helmet for No. 10," cries the property-man, and No. 10, perhaps al? most in a state of nudity, makes a short? cut to tho property-man by means of s somersault. (All the performers are re? quired to ride in the procession.) "Breast-plate for No. 10," calls auothet property-man; and No. 16, who is shav? ing, nearly outs a piece out of his cheek. Down goes the razor, for tbe rules against keeping the property-man wait mg are very stringent, as I found out tc my oust the morning I rode ia the pro oossioa. It was on the second day ol my circus life, and in the good city ol Providence, that I made my first and lust appearance as a knight ia fall armoi iu the publio streets. My costume con? sisted of a corselet and pettiooat, snob as were worn by the old Crusaders; t steel breast-plate, a steel helmet witb visor and nodding plumes, and a pail of large crimson boots reaching to thc kuee. The property-man also furnisbei mu with a gigantic battle-axe, and gavi mu very brief instructions as to how J should carry it. The thermometer stood eighty-fiv? degrees, and the raya of the sun shot down on the polished Burface of the bel met with suoh intensity that I felt as i: my bead waa being roasted. I am sun that I could have steamed potatoes in snlo that helmet, or broiled a portor house steak on the outside of it. It wai a patent cooking-stove on a small scale generating, as the stove founders say ii their advertisements, an immense amoun of beut with absolutely no oonsamptioi of fuel. And I endured that agony fo: one hour before we roturned to thu tents whoa I took the first opportunity to fee if my hair was singed. Like a camel, '. rushed for a buoket of water, threw nv helmet on the ground, and dashed nv head under the water s The next mo ment I lay splattering at full length apon the ground, with the sensation that a cannon ball had struck me somewhere near the region of my heart. I picked myself ap slowly and confronted that awful property-man. It WOB he, and not a cannon ball, who had knocked me down. "You're a niae sort of cuss, to go ohaoking the properties aboat like that," he exclaimed, as he picked up the helmet and strode away. Fortunately for me, my friend had so much to attend to that he hadn't time to knock me down again. Otherwise I think he would have done so; for he waa very angry, stood about six feet two inches, and was very powerfully built. An BOOU as the Com? pany had resumed the costntne of the nineteenth century, they all hurried to the different hotels to whiob they wero assigned-some to snatch an hour's sleep baforo dinner, others to write letters, and others, again, to lounge about and smoke. I retired to my room to seo if any of my ribs were broken. I had boen so intently studying the fat boy, that it was some time before my attention was attracted to his immediate neighborhood. At his left hand, sat rather a petite-looking young lady, nine? teen years old, with a full beard and moustache; and next to her, eat a little lady of oight and twenty years of age, and thirty-two inches in height, in a child's high chair. She is married to one of the employees of tho circus, who is an ordinary-sized mau, and, strangu BB it may appear, they say that she rules him with an iron rod, by constantly threatening to gut a divorce from him. Of course, as sho brings him a consider? able annual inoome by exhibiting her? self, this is about the last thing he would wish her to do. She gave us a taste of her quality during diuner. Tho "funny" clown came in late, and on taking bis seat opposite the party, said, "Well, my 'small by degress and beautifully less,' bow are yon all this hot day?" "Sir," exclaimed the little woman, firing up in an institut, "I will thank you to treat me as a lady; you deserve to have your ears well boxed. If my husband was here, you wouldn't dare to address me sol" My oxperience of a oircus has con? vinced mo of one thing-that from tho proprietor down to the lowest eupe and stableman, each and every person con? nected with one lead a very hard life and earn every penny they get; and their short nights, their long journeys in a bot sun, over sandy, dusty roads, their processions in a mid-day glare, their thoroughly broken day, must be exceedingly exhausting to the system. There is, too, a considerable mental strain in going through a horseback act in the ring, while the physical exertion of the aorobats, gymnasts and leapers must be something tremendous. And yet, though some of them look worn, they are all as cheery and merry together os possible. A SPEECH DY MB. GREELEY.-At the Brown University alumni dinner last Friday night, the Hon. Horace Greeley said: MR. Ca AI nit AN AND GENTLEMEN: I profess no chinna to the society of colle? giate men. To be sure, Amherst bas made me a doctor of laws, and of such the world certainly stands in great need. At least, the laws need doctoring, and some of the law-makers, too. as yon all know. This appointment is a recent one, and I accept the trast. There is no pay conneuted with it, but there is honor. And it is well to honor those who honor scholarship. At Amherst's suggestion, then, I shall try and dootor the laws, and all good men will aid me in so doing. Your President proposes to aid in the education of the South. What their needs are we all know, and how much less than their meaus. Uni? versal education is a prinoiple-nay more, a duty. All men vote, and all women are apparently likely to, al? though I wish it understood I am not endorsing tho movement. Education in U8 neoesaary os polios or soldiers. Go? vernment should not merely be the means of keeping one man's hand out of another man's pooket-it sometimes does not succeed in that-its aims should be larger; it shonld rather put means into men's pockets. Government should be a fatherly, beneficent proteotor of the people. I think, with Hamilton and De Witt Clinton, that the duty of go? vernment should not be merely to rein fovea the hangman and thief-taker. Ho? nor everything that honors intelligence. Colleges aro the great fountains from which spring au educated people. Edu? cation is the support of a journalism which is not the echo of courts and ca? binets, nor fostered by official patronage. An illiterate people could not support our institutions. Those are founded in the school room. When that falls into disrepute, despotism is not far off. Ho? nor to everything that diffuses intelli? gence; honor to everything that dissemi? nates eduoation. Honor them as foun? dations of free institutions and the life of a free people. I?HBAY BY M A JOB WOODWARD.-From the St. Louis Republican, ot the 29th of May, we clip with pleasure the following paragraph: "Major T. * W. Woodward, of South Carolina, read an essay on the influence of forests npon rainfall. The subject was treated in a pleasing and entertain? ing style; evidently written by one who bad lived a country life, and was fami? liar with nature in all her aspecto.. It was received with applause. The essay? ist showed that trees and forests have a very perceptible influence in attracting, retaining sud promoting, moisture, and that their destruction was the principal cause of recent frequent droughts. ' He said that every tree that was felled was so mnoh taken from the wealth of the oountry. "Com. Murray expressed his high ap? preciation of tho essay, and fully cor? roborated its statements. He moved that the thanks of the meeting be award? ed the cssuyi.it. Thd*motion was carried with enthusiasm." XZa ooal OUR AGENTS IN CHARLESTON.-The advertising agenoy of Messrs.

It is sweet to have friends you can trust, and convenient sometimes to have friends who are not afraid to trust you. The word love, in the Indian language, is "sohemlendamonrtchwager."

That platform is now the peo? ple's, whether it was stolen or not. If it was stolen, let the Badicals refand the moaey they have stolen from tho people, and then the people will refand the plat? form. The Boston Post tells us that "Secre? tary Robeson is having a $2,000 carriage made for him at New Haven, Connecti? cut."

He intends it, we presume, as the grain of allowance with whioh the publio should receive his prophecy. We had the pleasure of a call, yester? day, from Mr. Burgess, of the "notion" house of J. W. tc E. Chisholm. Thc New York News speaks of them as fol? lows: The trade in human hair has assumed snob importance of late years that it has beoome a matter of no little interest to those for whose ornamentation it is con? ducted, yet who, nevertheless, possess but little information on the subject. The dashing belle oan, perhaps, hardly realize the fact that the beautiful soft blonde tresses whioh contribute to her beauty had once grown in natural luxu? riance on the bead of a pretty peasant of Bretagne or Normandy, Auvergne or Flanders, and had been bartered by its wearer for a ring or a braoelet, or that it had, perhaps, been the pride of the reigning beauty of some Hungarian vil? lage, which poverty had compelled to part with it to one of the numerous hair merchants, who now periodically visit the European country fairs, and oarry off thence, in exchange for a few glitter? ing baubles, tho capillary pro Jacta of the heads of the eurrounding female po? pulation, who at present oui tl vate their bair for commercial speculation, as they do their grapes and their oranges. The human hair, which is worn here is purchased by traders sent out from the prinoipal European capitols into the country parts of Normandy, Bretegne, Gerraty, Hungary nnd other districts, where ?hey obtaiu the hair in its raw state, and after being deprived of its gresbO, and thoroughly prepared for ase in the workshops of the ooiffenrs of Paris, Vienna, Leipzio, Berlin and Lon? don, is exported to the United States and supplies head-dresses for American females of all classes. Among the largest dealers and importers of human hair in this city is the firm of J. W. & K. Chisholm, of 417 Broadway, who constantly receive at their establishment the products of the negotiations of the various commercial travelers who annu? ally sconr the provincial parts of Europe to gather in the crops of human bair that have matured since their former tpurs. Althongh tr&ffio in human hair is not by any means the only feature of Messrs. Chisholm's business, it is an important one, and in its management they employ over 100 operatives, who are always en? gaged either in preparing for nee the hair BB it comes direct from the heads of European peasants, or in fashioning it into curls, switches and chignons for female head-dresses. They likewise are extensivo importers, dealers and manu? facturers of all the various kinds of imi? tation hair whioh reach this market, in? cluding mohair, thread, silk, flax, and the other almost countless articles that can he tortured into a resemblance to human hair. Did not want of space forbid, we would dwell on the details of the exten? sive manufacture of head-dresaes, both from real and imitation hair, in which they are so extensively engaged under the capable supervision of Mons. Bigos, a once rich and celebrated coiffeur of the Rue St. Honore of Paris, whioh he quitted only a short time ago to repair in this city the ample fortune that had shared the misfortunes of the gay capital during the Franco Prussian war. Messrs. Chisholm's store is, however, a bazaar of rare bijouterie, for millinery decoration, and is of both European and American manufacture, enameled, gilt, plated, silvered, etruscan, filagree, and includes Whitby jet and its imitations, real and imitation shell. Bohemian stone, et*. Their assortment of fans is espe? cially attractive. They have ivory fans from Berlin of the plain, ronnd and pompadour patterns, and similar fans of tho Rouen manufacture in which Hugo, of Paris, is the most famous dealer. Their gilt and satin fans are sp?cimens of exquisite workmanship? and come from the manufactory of Meyer, long celebrated throughout Europe in that department of art. Vienna supplies them with imitation papier macho fans, whioh are hardly distinguishable lrom the real. Their ivory and shell goods come from Berlin, their feather fans from Japan. China furnishes pictur? esque goods of countless varieties, and Hamburgh supplier them with all pat? terns of lace edgings. LIST OP NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. Oliver Ditaon & Co.-Song Books. S.
