COLUMBIA. S. C. Saturday Si or n in s, Jane 15, 1872. Tb? Politisai Outlook. Day by day the political field becomes better defined, and we are enabled to judge with greater acouraoy and cer? tainty what form the contest will as? sume, and how the canvass will be con? ducted. The Cincinnati platform and nominees have been before the people, and bean discussed, criticised, endorsed, abused or sustained, as the humor, judgment or party zeal of different com? mentators saggeBted, for six weeks. The Grantites have held their little dresB parade, and agreeably to orders from army headquarters, at Washington, named Ulysses as their first choice, "with singular unanimity." Mr. Colfax was thrown oat, smiling still, and the Natiok oobbler thrown in, the which swapping of horses, it is thought, is chiefly attributable to the terrible on? slaught of Sumner upon Grunt, which, it was feared, might lose Massachusetts to the military party. All the hopes of the anti-Grant Republicans of a more acceptable nomintoe than Grant, by the regalar party convention, are ended; and we believe the great balk of them will tarn, and give Uncle Horace their hearty support. There is bat one more preliminary movement to be made, whioh can change the nature of the campaign. This is the action of. the General Democratic Convention, which meets in leas than a month at Baltimore. Will Baltimore join haiiJa with Oiooinnati in the patri? otic effort to overthrow the one-man power sad resoae Republican institu? tions from the maelstrom of centralization to which they are rapidly verging ander military rule? We are happy to say that this is scarcely now a question. In every Demooratio Convention of whioh we have had any aooount, in Iowa, Kansan, Tennessee, Indiana, New York, Missouri, California, Maryland, Pennsyl? vania, Florida, our own State and else? where, with the single exception of Delaware, there has been shown an in? clination, more or less clearly marked, to suppog^ the Liberal Republican nomi? nees and platform. Greeley and Brown have grown rapidly in strength every day sinoe their nomination, and we can discover no possible reason to apprehend that the current of popular feeling can be turned against them before the Con? vention meets at Baltimore. The New York World is evidently weakening in ita attaoks upon Mr. Greeley, being pro? bably convinced, by this timo, that it is running oounter to Democratic senti? ment, undertaking a useless task and proving at once a suicidal and a suspi? cious policy. Terre Haute, Mr. Yoorhees' own dis? trict, has declared against him in favor of Greeley and Brown, and he himself has softened down so much as to say that he will support the nominations at Baltimore, whatever they may be. All these indications, therefore, render us quite sanguino that Greeley and Brown will receive tho overwhelming, if not en? tirely unanimous, support of the dele? gates at Baltimore. If they do, and the Demooratio masses support the tioket at the polls with anything like unanimity and wu are convinced that they will do it-then the tanner and the sorry shoe? maker who rides behind him may as well take time by the forelock, and go hunt a joint job at Galena, or somewhere else, for they will have no further opportuni? ty to pursue such avocations at Washing? ton. As New York and Pennsylvania, so will go the election. As to New York, with a joint Demooratio and Liberal Re? publican vote for Greeley, we have scarcely more doubt of how it will go than we have of Kentucky or Tennessee. Seymour carried the State in 1868, and Horace Greeley will get Seymour's vote and thousands of Republican ballots be? sides. The farmer of Uhappaqaa, honest, good and sterling man that he is, is more popular in his own State, where he is best known, than elsewhere; even more popular, perhaps, than any other publio man in it; and the Empire State will doubtless roll np a majority for him more handsome than sho has ever given a Presidential candidate. Ia Pennsylvania, the signs are alu. oat equally cheering. Hartranft, the Re? publican candidate for Governor, is re? pudiated by a large portion of bis party, and by many of the Republican journals in tbs State. He is the ring candidate, and is believed to have been deeply im? plicated with one Evans in defrauding the State of several hundred thousand dollars, ia manipulating the war olaims which Pennsylvania held against the General Government. He is a man of no influence, bat little respected, and is conceded to be a dead weight to the party. Mr. Buckalow, on the other hand, who is the Democratic candidate for Governor, ta the very strongest man the party could possibly pat forward. 1 He is a gentleman of unsullied reputa- ] tion, a statesman, conservative in his j views, and respected and esteemed by 1 the good men of both parties. The 1 ohanoes are strongly in hta favor, even if the oonteBt were to be a square one be? tween him and Hartranft, as Democrat : and Republican, and no consideration whatever taken of the inoreased strength which Horace Greeley will give the former. As it is, we have every reason confidently to hope that the Democrats and Liberal Republicans combined will sweep the State by 10,000 or 15,000 ma? jority. These two States will give Greeley and Brown a handsome majority in the elec? toral college, such as to cover every pos? sibility of losing several smaller States. Grant's fate is in tho hands of the De? mocrats. They can make or unmake him. They are daily becoming more convinced of this, and we have now bot little doubt that they will manfully and unanimously pursue the only course left open to them, whereby they may pre? servo constitutional liberty to our great Bepublio. Helenic of Captain Trcxtvant. A private telegram from Charleston, yesterday, brought the glad news to the family and friends of Captain Wm. H. Trezevant that he had been uncondi? tionally discharged by Jadge Bryan, be? fore whom he was taken nuder a writ of habeas corpus. The Badioal officials, though they have had ample time to precuro ali possible testimony, were utterly unable to make out even the semblance of a case agaiust him. We were informed some time sinoe of the circumstances of Captain Trezovaut'a arrest; the perjured testimony upon which it was founded; the illegal man? ner in whioh the warrant was served, and the private and vindictive malice whioh actuated the proceeding against him from the beginning; but we forebore comment until the court had taken action in the premises. We have reason to believe that oar inimitable Governor, in conjunction with a certain individual scarcely less disreputable, bat more obscure than himself, were the prime movers in this outrageous prosecution of Captain Treze? vant. It was the connection of the high functionary above named with the case, we presume, which caused our Ka Klux martyr aoross the way to gloat, with fiendish delight, over the arrest and im? prisonment of an innocent man, and in? duced him, furthermore, to misrepre? sent Captain Trezevant'e refusal to give bail before Boozer as a failure to secure bondsmen. Capt. Trezevant refused to give bail because conscious of his innocence, and of the baseless charge whioh a perjured witness had been purchased to make against him; he was determined to de? mand an unconditional discharge. If he had consented to be bound over to appear at court for trial, there would doubtless have been enough perjured witnesses brought together by August next to have sent him to the penitentiary; especially when he would have to plead before a packed jury. THE REVIVAL OF EGTFT.-The ruler ol Egypt is patting to shame the greatest potentates of Europe. With a master mind he ta handling the people of hie anoient State and rebuilding, on a solid and durable foundation, a civilization that will outlive the Pyramids and the Sphynx. The famed fertility of thc valley of the Nile ia made to enrich thc descendants of Pharoah by the prodne tion of commodities of world-wide con sumption, so that the commerce ol Alexandria will be restored to more thai its ancient splendor. Having Success folly competed with the whole world ir producing an article of long staple cot ton, attention is now turned to sugar and boiling-houses have been construct ed on a gigantic scale to facilit?t* growers. The crop of this latter artioh is steadily increasing, and as affording an idea of its present magnitude, it maj be mentioned that the Viceroy has en gaged to famish Italian and Frenoi houses 28,000 tons this season. Of Jim Fisk dead, it may be trul^ said, "Still in his ashes lives his wantec fires." Even Stokes* bullet could no dispel that atmosphere of seDBationa display in which he lived and had hi being. On decoration day, Jim Fisk' grave was the sensation at Brattleboro Vt., being ornamented with no less thai $5,000 worth of flowers. His widov also took advantage of the day and occa sion to enact the role ot Lady Bountifu to the poor of the vicinity. Already, wi are told, workmen aro employed apon i monument to cost not less than $50,000 and to its dedication the Ninth Begi ment is to be invited at the expense o Mrs. Fisk. "There's honor for you." THE ?DJOTJBNMKNT OF GONOBBSB.-Tho icoond session of the forty-second Con? gress ended last evening, at 9 o'clock, ifter a session of 188 days. The session aaa been distinguished more for the rariety of its "investigations" and the dexterity of their management than for the passage of any measure of great im portanco, except perhaps the tariff and tax reduction bills, the partial amnesty, and a remarkable ryder to the sundry civil appropriation bill affecting the supervision of elections, being in faot a modification of the Senate's supplemen? tary enforcement election bill. The at? tempts of the Senate majority to force apon the House the supplementary oivil or social rights measure, and the propo? sition to continue the power in the bands of the President, suspending the writ of habeas corpus in the South, were tinnily of no avail, by reason of tbe re? quisite two-thirds vote not being ob? tainable to* suspend the rules iu the House. The measure wbicb gave tbe greatest trouble, however, in the last days and hours of the session, was tho supplemental election ryder to the sun? dry appropriation bill. This measure, in ita most objectiona? ble form, passed the Senate on Friday night last, and the notion of the Senate: in thus jeopardizing ;.u important ap? propriation bill at the heel of the session of Cungross, ia violation of its own pledged, aroused universal indignation, aot only among Liberal and Democratic journals, but iu tbe Republican press. The supplement, in its original form, provided for extending the provision Tor Federal inspectors and supervisors of election in towns of not less than 20,000 inhabitants to all towns and sities of the country, with authority to sall in the aid of the United States torces, should the marsbals deem it ne? cessary, thus over-riding the State au? thorities in tho matter of elections. The Philadelphia Inquirer (Republican) call? ed it the bayonet bili, und denounced its abject of "putting the polls ia Novem? ber under military control." The In? quirer warned the Senate that "the sountry will not submit to military rule in times of absolute peace," and said that if the Senate insisted in its mad s?beme, "the favor in whioh General Brunt now stands will be taken from bim." The New York Herald, independent, declared that "there is no more necessi? ty for extending military law over tbe Southern State? than over the New Eugluud States," though they propose to bring both under the samo law, fearing, as the Herald says, "it may beoomo ne? cessary, in case of Greeley's endorse? ment by the Demooruts, to carry the South at the point of Federal bayonets." The New York Sun, independent Re? publican, asked, "Are they mad? have they been struck with insanity," ?Siro. Tbe New York Tribune said that the Senate had seriously injured its charac? ter, and the New York Post asked if it was "mad, or what?" After a determined struggle in tbe FIouso, yesterday, the bill going back and forth to different committees of confer? ence, it was finally passed in a compro? mised form, providing that there shall be no more marshals than those already authorized by law, and that on the re? quest of ten citizens the Judge of a United States Circuit Court may appoint two citizens of different political partie* as supervisors, who shall have no powei to make arrests or to perform otbei duties than to be present and witness all the proceedings at elections, and to see to the counting of the votes. All such measures, however, are of especial ovi omen when demanded by a party on thc eve of a Presidential eleotion. By rea Bon of the compromise, none of '.ho ap propriation billa were lost, as had beer apprehended.-Baltimore Sun. Grant is evidently chagrined with thc rebuke he reoeived during the last houri of Congress by its refusal to vote bia extraordinary powers. He bundled nj his clothers early next morning and pu oat for Long Branch, too mad at tin members to receive them at the Presi deutial mansion. There were man; callers that day, but none found him and all were furious. His running of bas the look of a poatiog child about it and is, at best, an outrage and an insul to the Senators and Representatives Som? of the reverend seigoors, it is said swore roundly. -# ^ ? ? Some of our ootemporaries are flndiuj fault with the Hon.

Poor Wilson 1 HOMICIDE.-A difficulty ocourrod be ttveon two freedmen at Calmese's oh quarter, in this County, on last Friday in which a negro by tbe name of Arno Young Bhot and killed another namei [aaao Salter. An inquest was held ovo the body of the deoeused by Trial Jus tioe Jared S. Johnson, acting coroner on Friday night, the jury rendering i verdict in accordance with the abovi statement. A warrant was prompt!; issued by Trial Justioe Johnson, bu Young has not yet been arrested. Th cause of the difficulty, we learn, was jua lousy.-Laurensville Herald. --t-. <>--?

A Ulan - HANDED OUTBADE.-The Lon? don (Ganada) Herald and Prototype, of j Juno 7, says: About two weeks ago a gentleman, \ whose name we suppress for reasons that ( will be afterward explained, oame to tb in ( city from the Soutb. He was formerly ] a resident of York County, S. O. Dur- f ing the American war he servod BB a sur- , geon in tbe Confederate army. At its , oonolasion he returned to bia borne, do- t termined to make the bost of existing , oircamstanceB. He still, however, re- , tuined bis belief in tho principles for | which he had risked bis life, and bc , freely denounced tbe military despotism ( which Grant has established in the con? quered States. ' His popularity and local iufluenoe mado him particularly obuox- , ious to the oarpot-baggera, and when it ( w H s decided to suepond tho habeas cor- \ pus Aot, in order to carry the elections, i his name wan marked down an one of the victims. When ho learned this, bo im- | mediately started for Canada, closely fol- ; lowed by one S. B. Cornell, a Yankee spy, in the pay of Grant's carpet-bagger* in-chief, Gov. Robert K. Scott. The fugitive reached British territory iu safe - , ty, and Cornell, seeing that Gov. Scott's warraut wan no longer of any use, ap- < plied to tho United S rates Secret Service Department for UFsistance. They placed a fellow named Joseph G. Hester ut his service, and the two worthies lost no time in ooming on to London to secure their game. There is reason to believe that they dogged him round the city for som? days before they got un opportuni? ty of carrying out their nefarious pro? ject. On Tuesday last, about 4 P. M., he waa out fora walk on one of tho streets in the Northern part of thu city, when be observed two cubs approaching him at fuii speed from opposite directions. When opposite him they stopped, and two men, jumping out of each cub, rushed at him, und before he could give uu alarm, he was seized by the thront and ohoked until he was insensible. Die was then thrown ioto one of the cabs, the two detectives jumped io after him, and both cabs drove off iu opposite directions. Several persons witnessed the occurrence, but presumed that the men were acting under authority, aa no one for a moment suspected that au out? rage of this description would be at? tempted in our city. When the men got bim to Detroit they procured a warrant and formally arrested him. Ho refused to diaolose bis real name to the author? ities there, and the warrant was mude out in the name of James Simpson. Is is this circumstance that has induced ut to withhold his name for the present. The first intelligence his friends here re? ceived of his fate was in a telegram whioh he sent them from Leavittsbnrg, Ohio, in which he informed thom that he had been conveyed to Detroit while under the influence of chloroform. He was well kuowu to a large number of Southern gentlemen in the city, aad they all unite io bearing the highest testimony to his character. A memorial bas been dispatched to? day to the Dominion Government, pray? ing for their action in the matter. We trust to see it prompt and decis?r- No ministry, however popular, coat afford to ignore snob an outrage. We trust that the matter will not lead to any in? ternational difficulties, but whatever the cost may be, our honor most be sus? tained. If a criminal escapes to Canada, we have extradition laws which will se? cure bis punishment. Tho very fact that the kidnappers made no attempt to ap? peal to those laws fully explains the nature of their mission. We understand that one of oar County sub-offijials is conoerned in the matter too, though to what extent we are aa yet nuable to say. PARTIES IN NEW YORK: CITY.-The* New York Citizen, commenting on the confusion of parties in that city, growing out of the overthrow of Tammany, re? marks: The Republicana have ceased to exist as a body, all who are not merely office? holders having gone over bodily to Gree? ley, who is acting as a stick to stir up the muddled mass. If the latter gentle? man runs for the Presidency on the Bal? timore nomination, be will carry this city almost unanimously, and may drag iu his victorious train the other candi? dates of the coalition. Without him, no? body can predict the result of the fall elections. One of the effects of tbe discontinu? ance of the writ of habeas corpus was seen ii our town shortly after tho news reached this point. Ono of our unfor? tunate citizens, who believes that "dis? tance lends enchantment to the view" of deputy United States marshals, (espe? cially snob as Hendricks,) had "iain low and kept shady" so long, that be actu? ally came to town with a dirt-dobber's nest sticking to the back of his vest. We were an eye-witnesa to this, and, if ne? cessary, other proof is close at hand. \ Laurensville Herald. "Too MUOHEE."-The five ladies with the Japanese embassy, at the suggestion of their American hostess, recently con? sented to bo laced up and tied down, ruffled, paniered, flounced, bowed and trailed in the "style." Then they were powdered up from an orange peel hoe to a delicate lemon, and pronounced per? fect, us far as dress goes. Half an hour later, however, their dismayed civilizers found them smiling and happy in their half-petticoat, half-pantaloon dress. "Too muchce," said the gentle Ja? panese. DEATH OF CAPT. EDWARD MCINTOSH. - With a deep sense of a great IOSB sus? tained, we chronicle the death of Capt. Edward McIntosh, of Society Hill, We are informed that he died Thursday, the 6th of this mouth, at the residence of his brother, Col. D. G. McIntosh, at Towsoutown, Maryland, whither hu had gone u short time before, in the hope of improvement from u change of air. AN EXPLOSION IN AFRICA.-Probably 3 he entire great division of Africa never lefore experienced each a terrible inti naoy with gunpowder as was forced opon o t recently by an explosion on the bauks )f tbe old Calabar River. It appears ;hat fire burst out in thu native town of Euke Toan, the flames finally reaching * ;he powder magazine, which exploded 3 with a force that shook the ground like in earthquake. The watchmen in at- t :endunce were killed, and the chipping ilmost demolished. Some idea of the ' explosion may be formed from tbe fact 1 ;hat there were twenty-five tooB of pow- a 1er Btored in tbe magazine, besides a quantity of gin, rum and benzine. ^ DOWN ON THE MORMONS-Mormon 1 missionaries do not receive much en- fl soaragement in Denmark. A decree bas been issued by tbe Danish Government , to the effeot that "a number of so-called c Mormon emissaries having had the im? pudence of trying to entioe virtuous v men end women from this kingdom, any t town or village magistrate is authorized to sentence such emissaries to corporal c punishment, in accordance with tbe law c of 1860." Under the provisions of this t decree, a Mormon missionary was re- , oently flogged by order of a village ma? gistrate of Randera, in Jutland. -m i How HORACE'S NEIGHBORS WILL GO TO y BALTIMORE.-Ou tbe 4tb of July, twelve ( citizens of Westchester County will start from Mount Vernon for Baltimore. ' They will travel the whole distance in a i magnificent club wagon, drawn by four beautiful horses. Tbe leaders will be , white aud tbe wheel horses black. The . club wagon will be gold mounted, the body blue, and tbe runuing part white ' nod red. Oa the sides of tbe wagon in raised bronze letters will be the words: j "Westchester County. The Home of Horace Greeley." That insanity is one of the natural re? sults of war would seem to be established i by the experience of France. We are , told that suicides are now so prevalent that tbe Morgue has been found too I small to accommodate the bodies. Be- < sides this, the lunatic asylums, butb pub? lic and private, are crowded to repletion, aud among the political prisoners in con- i finement, insanity is the most prevalent , disease. The Pickens Sentinel gives an interest? ing account of a wolf huut in that Coun? ty which took place recently. Tbe ' wolves bad destroyed n great many 1 sheep, and a hunt was made up, which f resulted in the killing of a she wolf and , six young ones. They were denned in a ' huge cave in that mountainous region - and shot by tbe glare of their eyes, made perceptible by the use of a toroh-light. The Maryville Republican, edited and published in Tennessee by colored men, I repadiates Grant, and comes to the sup- | port of Greeley and Brown in this emi- ? uently sensible wuy: "After tbe most careful mature deliberation wo have con? cluded to unfurl our standard and hoist at our mast-head the only candidate for President who represents the principles for which we have battled-Horace Gree? ley." An insinuating and fascinating damsel, with good clothes, representing herself as agent of a obeap illustrated literary paper at Sheboygan, Miohigan, has suc? ceeded in extricating a dollar each, from many persons in Maoon, who, after seve? ral weeks' patient waiting without re? ceiving the publication subscribed for, have oonoluded that they were victim? ized. Gathering moss in Florida is a profit? able business. The ooantry is full of moss and there is no necessity for any man to starve when he can get from 2)? to 4 j.j oents a pound for moss that costs bim nothing but the trouble of pioking it. and twenty dollars per week is easily made. Mr. Clowe, of this city, has a jay bird which eau rival a mockingbird in Bing? ing. The "jay" was raised by the side of a mocking bird and can imitate to per? fection those delightful songsters in the melody and sweetness of their vooal strains.- Wilmington Star. A prisoner arraigned before a Record? er in New Orleans was told: "I really don't know whether I had better fine yon one dollar or ten; what's your idea about it?" Prisoner-"Your Honor, all I have to plead is that you will not set down aught in malice." A California paper reports that a hotel chambermaid laid aside ber broom a few days ago, and on calling for a settlement, told ber employer she had been dab? bling in stocks for a year or more, and had something more than $200,000 as a result. A Brazilian marquis, who suspected his wife of over-intimacy with a young officer, took classic revenge by bringing in to her, one day, his rival's head on a silver dish, decorated with parsley. He then shot her fatally and afterward him? self. The claimant to the Tichborne estates is traveling through England and holds meetings in the principal towns. He charges for admission, and crowds go tcj see him and bear him speak. At two meetings at Bristol he had a most enthu? siastic audience. The journalist.

We are indebted to Mr. S. Bonari, for cony of the Australasian-a monster reekly of thirty-six pages-published in lelbourne, Australia. Owing to non-payment of the bill by he State officials, the gas was shat off rom the State House, and the massive ooking granite pile presented a gloomy .ppearanoe, Thursday night. It is essentially necessary that every tody should keep their back yards and o ts cleaned up. The sickly season is ipproaching, and every precaution hould be used in order to evade the Iheases so prevalent daring that season. Newspapers have several classes of ad? vertisements. First, those written in he usaal form and printed in the lolamns known to be advertising lulu m m. Secondly, those called "bisk >ps," which are "sequacious" as to the 'local" matter. And, thirdly, bat not sstly, (because there are many disguises n which advertisements appear,) those vhioh masquerade through the columns levoted to what is called "reading mat? er," with some each "head" as "com nanicated," put upon them. A despatch from Charleston informs is that Captain W. H. Trezevant has aeen released by Judge Bryan, after a nearing of the caso. The Spartan, of Thursday, informs us ibat Rev. B. M. Palmer, D.
