COLUMBIA. S. C. Friday flor nine, Jane 21, 1872. Tradewell ou Parker. We received some days since a pam? phlet containing the pleadings and the argument of Mr. James D. Tradewell, attorney for tbe relator in the case " Ex relations Carlos J. Stolbiand, Superin? tendent of the State Penitentiary, vs. Niles G. Parker, State Treasurer." The purpose of tho suit is to foroe the Trea? surer, by writ of mandamus from tho Supreme Court, to pay to tho Superin? tendent of the Penitentiary the appro priations made by the General Assembly for tho support and maintenance of tho institution, which the last named official bas in oharge. Mr. Tradewell, for the relator, alleges that something over $13,000 remains due and unpaid to tho Penitentiary of tbo appropriation mado for the fiscal year commencing Novem? ber 1, 1870, and but a fraction over $6,000 of the appropriation of $80,000 for the current fiscal year, commencing November 1, 1871, hus as yet been paid. Mr. Tradewell then proceeds to Bhow that the Treasurer has or onght to have ample means on hands to meet these ap? propriations, from the heavy taxes levied in the spring of 1871 for the fiscal year commencing November 1, 1870, and in the fall and winter of 1871-72, for the fiscal year commencing November 1, 1871. Mr. D. H. Chamberlain, attorney for Mr. Parker, responds, denying that any -, portion of the appropriation of last year remains unpaid-as shown by the entries and receipts on the books in the Treasury office-and for exonse for non-payment of all of the appropriation for the pre? sent year, alleges that at no time since the passage of the Aot, March 12, 1872, making the appropriations, has he been in funds to pay it. Then cornea the argument of Mr. Tradewell, demurring to the return of Mr. Parker, aa evasive and insufficient, and launching out into tho official his? tory of that high functionary, and pic? turing in vivid and eloquent terms the many and gross abuses which have been perpetrated npon the people by corrupt financial scheming, and the ruin and dis? grace which has been brought upon tbe -State. It is this latter portion of Mr. Trade wei l's argument which is of great? est public interest. Mr. Tradewell is an avowed Republican, and it is not pre? sumable that he would enter upon a .orusade against a government adminis? tered by his own political party, nnlesf he was thoroughly oonvinoed of thc truth of his charges. We know they arc true. Every intelligent citizen knowe they are true, and there are now but t precious few, even of the r?scala them' selves, who have the brazen audaoity and shamelessness to deny the rottenness ol the present regime. But no one-thc bitterest enemy wbioh the Rep?blicas party has in the State-could usc stronger language than Mr. Tradewell. We are willing to abido his statement c> the case, and earnestly hope that otben of his party, equally conscious of tb? evils which threaten the life of the Re publiaan party, as well as that of th? State, will as manfully acknowledg< them. Confession must always preced? repentance, and from genuine repentanci we moy hope for speedy reform. Of course, no rational man expect repentance and reform from tho Booun drels who have actually had a band ii plundering the State. Nothing short o a miraculous act of Divine grace coule ever work repentance in their pollute* souls. But if the good men of the party few though they be, who have any in toll i gence or influence, will honestly ac knowledge the untold abuses of th party as at present manipulated, am band themselves faithfully together they may, by earnest and persisten efforts, open the eyes of the colorei people to the orimes whioh have beet committed by their present represento tives, and for whioh they must bo rc eponsible, and induce them to hui from power the vile miscreants who ar fattening on the misfortunes of the pee pie and bringing opprobrium upon th negro race, which is their constituency. We clip from Mr. Tradewell's finishe argument a few portions whiob are c most general interest, as showing wbal in hie judgment, Republican though h bo, is the wretched result of Radict mis-rule. Says Mr. Trad awell: "With tbe exception of tho judioiarj the State Government of South Carolin is a mass of disgraceful ruins. Wit violent, head-long plunges, tho Exeoi ?ive and Legislative departments ur seeking the deepest deep of anarchy an publie dishonor, marking their dowi ward progress with a reckless oontemr. of private and public morals, the like t whioh the civilized world hus never hen tofore beheld. I repeat, therefore, m trust that He, in whose 'band aro a the oorners of the earth, and whose j the strength of the hills niuo,' has give direction to this measure, and placed before you, to be guided by you to the greatest consummation of the public, welfare, in the rolling back of the mighty tide of pnblio evil, whioh threat ODS universal desolation." Further on he telle the following preg? nant truths: "If tbe annual appropriations by tbe General Assembly have been extrava? gant, tbe amounts oolleoted from the people by the same authority and poured into the State treasury annually, in order to meet thom and uphold the credit of the State Government, have been abso? lutely enormous. In . addition to tbe tax levies, about Sil,000,000, according to the report of this treasury officer, have been added to the pnblio debt of the State in less than four years, by the isBuanoe of State bonds. Over $8,000, 000 of this amount, according to thia same officer's report, have been added to that debt Bineo the 31st day of October, 1870, when the public debt was less than $8,000.000. "Confining myself, however, to the official report of the State Treasurer of the 31st October, 1871, $6,000,000 of bonds were issued between the 3lat Oc? tober, 1870, and 31st October, 1871. But your enormous tax levies and your enormous loaua on bond?, and millions got by the hypothecation of those bonds, have beeb inadequate to the support of your State Government. These fright? ful sums, forced out of the toils of a ruined people, all have passed into the State treasury and have passed out of the State treasury, leaving your colleges and Bobools, your asylums for tho insane and tbe deaf and dumb, your judiciary and penitentiary, your public officers of every grade, to perish and decay, be? cause there is no money in tbe treasury to answer to their legal and fixed de? mands." * * * * * * "There is not a sane man in South Ca? rolina, to-day, of even tolerable observa? tion, who is not impressed with tbe con? viction that this re constructed State Go? vernment will perish within the next two years, unless great reforms are at once achieved in the financial depart? ment of its administration. "May it please yonr Honors, the Go? vernment at Washington will be com? pelled to demolish it. The great Re? publican party, in its just pride and its love of free institutions, going again into power, as it will, will seize the rotten and miscreant monster and cast it away in its unutterable shame as un? worthy of its protecting caro and sup? port. It will not much longer tolerate a State Government whioh is daily dis? honoring its illustrious achievements and seriously endangering its further triumphs." NOT ROUND.-We always liked that simile in the geography that the world was round like a ball or an orange, and it has been onr delight to invent theories why, if that was so, the Chinese did not stand on their heads. But an English? man comes along now and knocks all these ideas into chaos by the positive declaration that the world is not round, but flat Uke a pan-oake. This is horri? ble. Just think of the geography be? ginning with such a sentence as this: "The earth is flat like a pan-cake." FOB CONOBESSHAN AT LABOE.-We find the following paragraph in the New York Standard, of Monday, the 17th instant: "Major L. E. Johnson is in the city, staying at the Everett House. Major Johnson was formerly United States Marshal of South Carolina, and was the offioial who made the wholesale arrests of the members of the Ku Klux orga nization in that State last summer, and was placed in the singular position of having his father, the Hon. Reverdy Johnson, act as counsel for the defence. Major Johnson will leave for Sonth Ca? rolina in a few days, and it is understood he will bo nominated lor Congressman at large on the Republican ticket in that State." Decapitated United States Marshals in this vicinity seem to havo a fondness for the position of "Congressman at Large," inasmuch as Major Johnson, ac? cording to the New York Standard, is about to follow in the footsteps of his successor in office, Marshal Epping, who was elected "Congressman et Large" after removal from office. ASSAULT UPON A MINISTEB FOB KISS? ING A YOUNO LADY.-Rev. J. J. Thomp? son, formerly pastor of tbo Christ Methodist Episcopal Church of Cincin? nati, but now of Leavenworth, Kansas, was assaulted this morniog by one Baum, who struck him with a hatchet, inflict? ing-three gashes on bis head, one blow penetrating tbe cavity of the brain, lt is thought Mr. Thompson cannot survive his in juries. Thompson called at the house of a former member of his ohurcb, and on leaving took tbe liberty of kiss? ing a young lady of the family, who bad also been a member of his flock. This so enraged Baum, who is the young wo? man's lover, that he attacked Thompson, with tbe result above stated. Baum thus far has eluded arrest. DIED.-On the 31st of May, at St. J '.rues' Home, Liverpool, where she was known as Sister Alice, of the Order of Misters of Mercy of St. Thomas the Martyr, Oxford, Elizabeth Alice Pri oleau, youngest daughter of the late Hon. Samuel Prioloau, of Charleston, S. C., iu the for ty-nit) th year of her ago. Tho degree of D. D. was conferred on Rev. F. Milton Kennedy, editor South? ern Christian Advocate, by Trinity Col? lege, North Carolina Confuronce, ut its lute commencement. Tbe first coal mined in the United States was dug near Riohmond, Ya. Convinced at liait. The Now York World now admits that "a blind and unreflecting majority ot tho party look with, favor on Greeley." Every ODO who does not eeo and think as the World docs, must, according to that erudite journal, be "blind and uuro flootiug." A fow weeks ago the World asserted, moBt emphatically, that Mr. Greeley oonld not bo endorsed at Balti? more. Now it says "it is quite possible that Mr. Greeley's nomination may be endorsed at Baltimore." The World proved itself "blind and unreflecting" thoo, aud it may, probably, find itself as sadly mistaken in the future. Io tho simo way it mis-stated or mistook so egregiously Mr. Greeley's Democratic strength, it may be presumed to be de? ceived itself or to desire to deceive tue peoplo with regard to his Republican following. Tho World acknowledges that a largo number of Republicans in New York will Bupport Greoley. A geo tlemun, who bas recently traveled through the North, and who is a close observer, most reliable in judgment, and of great political experience, tells OB that New York will go en masse for Gree? ley; that he will sweep the State by over 100,000 majority. lu Pennsylvania, too, we have the same authority for saying Mr. Greeley will receive a handsome Republican sup? port; and in the North-west, he would run Grant a close race oven without any Democratic votes. With Greeley as a coalition candidate, Grant's defeat is certain. With a Democratic candidate in the field, his ru-eleotion is equally cer? tain. Of this four-fifths of the Demo? cracy uro convinced, and that is why, or one great reason why, they mean to en? dorso Greeley and Brown. With Greeley, the Liberal Republicans and Democrats combined can carry Now Hampshire, Connecticut, New York and Pennsylvania, and these, with the cer? tain Democratic States, will place Uuole Horace in the White House with a hand? some majority at his back. The Demo? crats alono would not probably get the electoral vote of a single one of the States named above, and would doubt? less lose Indiana besides. It is absurd to talk of a straight Demo? cratic ticket. Its success would be almost beyond the limits of possibility. We do not mean to say that success is everything, or that one political prin? ciple is as good as another. But success means something more than the mere winning of the race. Any man elected to a high and honorable offioe is bonud to have his sympathies enlisted on the side of tiloso through whose confidence and instrumentality he has been elected. This is, moreover, no time for pet po? litical theories. Here is South Carolina on the verge of bankruptcy and ruin. Ii Grant is re-elected for four years to come, and continues to foster and sus? tain the profligate plunderers io our State es he has done during his present term, South Carolina might os well be wiped from off the face of the globe. No man can live here and thrive by honest industry. There must bo a change in the Federal Government, and Greeley is the man to make that chango most effectual for our good. Ho is Bound on the negro question and on tho validity of the new amendments guaranteeing their equul rights. He can udvooate such measures of relief as may bo deemed necessary for tho properly hold? ers, without beiug hampered with tho suspicion of wishing to ru-estubliah slavery or curtuil in eomo way tho equal privileges of the colored people. Mr. Greeley is, therefore, bolter for uu than a Democrat could possibly bo, and be is better for tho whole country. He is a middle man, around whom tho good pooplo North and South may moot and shake hands, as they have long desired to do, but have been prevented by the heat and animosity engendered by poli? tical strife. There needs a man of his stripe to bring about a genuine and hearty reconciliation, and there is no better man for this noble work than ho? nest old Horace of Gbappaqua. He has a level old head under his shabby hat, and his heart is as big as a bushel mea? sure, whether the ooat that covers it be cat in the fashion or not. Hurrah for Uncle Horace, and God bless the Union, if we can only got our rights in it; and if we cannot, then take us, England, or somebody else loss a tyrant than Grant. DEATH OF A SH II*-M A STEH.-Aoting ooroner Trial Justice A. M. Maokey held aa inquest yesterday, at 1 o'clock P. M., OD bourd of the bark Persever? ance, of Prince Edward's Island, over the remains of her late master, John Cook, who died suddenly very early in the morning. The verdict of tho jury was "death by convulsions, caused by tho uso of ardent spirits." [Charleston Courier. The Boston Traveler has disoovered a pr?diction in Shakspeare, on tho re? election of Grant: "A tanner will last you eight years." SUICIDE AND FATAL ACCIDENT.-A cor? respondent of the Edgefield Advertiser writes as follows from Bates ville: Oar village was much startled on yes? terday morning by the sudden news of the death of Mr. Mark Ridgell, the eldest son of Joel Ridgell, deceased, whioh was tbe result of a gun-shot wound inflicted by bis own band, at tbe boase of his brother, Mr. John Ridgell. Tbe particulars aro as follows: Mr. Mark Ridgell has been for a number of years a resident of Texas, and cume out lately from that Stato on a visit to his old neighborhood. For a number of days previous to his death be bad been under the uudne inflaenoo of strong drink, whioh it seems worked bis destruction. He was found early in tho morning lying dead iu Mr. John Ridgell's bouse, hav? ing been shot in tho bead, n Colt's pistol lying under his leg. On tho afternoon of Taesday. tho 4th instant, on the plantutiou of Capt. Thoa. Bates, near this place, whilo n storm was approaching, four of bis held hands took shelter under nn oak tree, which was shortly after struck by ligbtniog. Ono of the party was killed instantly, two others were seriously burt, while the remaining one received little or no injury. The name of tho colored mau killed was Jake Coleman. TUB LIABILITY OF STOCKHOLDER IN BANKS ron THEIR ISSUE.-Judge R. F. Graham has rendered a decision on this much-mooted question: 1. That the Acts of tho Legislature do impose an individual liability on tbe stockholders of tho banks, covered by its terms. 2. That this liability is confined to those who owned shares in the banks on the 29th of November, 18G0, when they suspended specie payments, or who had held Buch shares at any time within twelve months previous to that date. 3. That this liability is alone for such bills of the banks as were actually in issue on tho 29lh of November, I860, tbe dato of their suspension and refusal to pay their notes in current coin, and, therefore, of their failure. 4. That there is no individual liability on the part of the stockholders for any bills issued after tho 29th of November, 18G0, the date upon whioh the banka failed to pay their notes, according to their legal obligation, in current coin. 5. That those who dealt with the banks while in a state of suspension did so at their poril, and are not within tbe mischief against which the law intended to provide, by fixing individual liability upon the corporators. 6. That the burden of proof is upon the holder of the bill, to show that it was issued and put in circulation by tbe banks prior to the 29th November, 1860. THE GATLINO GUNS.-A writer who has been at West Point looking at the won? ders, had his attention particularly di? rected to tbe Gatling guns. He says: "An odd-appearing bending band of steel is brought from the ammunition chest and held immediately over and in contact with tbe slit in the upper part of the gun. This Begment contains twenty oartridgea, and as the crank of the "cof? fee mill" is turned they descend in due sequence into tbe chambers, where they explode. From the many mouths of the gun shoot forth uninterrupted numbers of piercingly bright flashes of flame, surrounded by enwrapping veils of blue smoke, and from the lower sides comes a steady stream of empty cartridge shells. When one segment is exhausted it is re? placed by another, and there is really no limit to the capacity of the gun, so long as the crank is kept turning. An officer informs me that they can fire 420 shots a minute; and, furthermore, that the prevalent impression concerning their dehcac}' and liability to get out of order is untrue; that they aro easily managed, simply constructed, and good for much Bervice." Tho Washington correspondent of tho Baltimore Sun, writing ou Sunday, says: "Mr. Sumner ia iu Washington, aud will continue to remain here until July. Uo is almost daily called ou by colored people from the South, anxious to know what side he intends to take iu tho Pre? sidential campaign. Mr. Sumner as? sures them that hu will in no event sup? port Grant, but bo does not go so far as to 6ay that ho will favor Greeley and Brown. Ile thinks the civil rights plank of the 1'hiludelpbia platform a piece of jugglery, and hopes the Baltimore Con? vention will take bolder ground. He is evidently doubtful in his own mind over the position ho ought to take from tbe pressure brought on him by bis colored friends, but yesterday ho was informed tbat their demonstrations on bim were instigated by the Administra? tion, with a view of keeping bim quiet." JUDGE CARPENTER ON THE STUMP. The Southern Home, published at Char? lotte, N. C., in its issue of tho 17th instant, says: "This distinguished gentleman ad? dressed a large and appreciative crowd in the square on last Wednesday night. He is warmly in favor of Mr. Greeley, and mado a very damaging attack upon the venal President. The Judge is con? fident that tbe majorities for Mr. Gree? ley will be overwhelming in tbe great States of Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York. In tho last Stato he thinks that Mr. Greeley's majority will be 100, 000." At the Hartford depot, on Wednesday, were to bo seen a father and motbor willi fifteen children, tho oldest sixteen years of age and tho youngest "a ohild in arms." When ranged side by side thoy formod an interesting eight. DEATH OF REV. T. D. PEURIFOY.

PHOJNIXIANA.-The Bepnblican Na? tional Executive Committee suggest c leather medal as tho Grant and Wilson campaign badge. A Welsh paper in Pennsylvania sayi of Greeley: "Bip gully ll Grooley mlffc drmpl tamppl ny pd nt in wrltt wem n ii dr gunnozlt." This may or may not be true. Wo shall await certain develop ments before wo veutnro to decide who ther it is or not. A dog is counted mad when he won'i take something to drink, and a mac when he takes too much. Tho New York Herald has employee an "Awful Squid" to worry Grant dar ing the Long Branch aeason. The "A S." has already interviewed the bero and learned that ho keeps two floe New foundlaud dogs, and not the traditiona pair of bull pups that figuro in Matt Morgan's pleasant cartoons.

The iron on tbo road is enid to be alone worth double the amount; and though the State is endorser on the bonds of the road to the amount of some ' $150,000, yet there was no effort made to protect lur interests, and we bavo hero $100,000 more added to the already incalculable public debt. J. L. Neagle, Comptroller-General, who has already made bis hundreds of thousands within four years, on a salary of loss than $4,000 per annum, is said to be the happy purchaser, though tbe bid was made ostensibly by another. "THIS WORN-OUT COUNTRY."-From the Soulhern Home, published ut Char? lotte, North Carolina, we clip tbe follow? ing paragraph. It is not only applicable to this section, but. to tho whole State. How often have wo heard it said that the "land is worn-out from long cultivation !" when by dint of a little energy and per? severance these "worn-out lauds," as they are called, could be made as pro? ductive and as valuable as' they ever were. Read what a little en ci gy will do : "Mr. James Hood, of Clear Creek, tells that he settled many years ago on land naturally thin and worn-out by long cultivation in a loose way. He has never used artificial manures, and yet ho esti? mates that his yield of wheat this year, on his orchard, was twenty-five bushels to the acre. This faot shows the folly of seeking a new country. Wbat is the age of our oldest land ia comparison with that of the rich fields of England, which have been in cultivation over 1,000 years, and yet yield each year more abundantly than the preceding year?" SUPREME COURT, June 20.-The Conrt met at 10 A. M. Present Chief Justice Moses and Associate Justices Willard and Wright. The State ex rel.

Per curiam, it is ordered that the motion to quash the return of the above named respond? ent be denied, and that the demurrer of tbe relator to said return be over? ruled, without prejudice to the relator to further proceedings on said return.

Three or four doses, taken at intervals of ten or twelve hours, will cure any case not uresolutely chronic; and from what I bavo witnessed, I feel sure it is oue of the best remedies in the world for chronic diseases. To make the dose palatable for children, it can be sweetened and flavored with some drops not acid. LIST OF NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. D. C. Peixotto Sc Son-Auctions. John S. Green-Notice.

SODDEN DEATH.-One John Mc G innis, a colored mau, went a fishing on Tues? day last, near Rook Hill. He was found on Thursday morning, lying in the creek dead. The coroner's jury, of whioh Dr. J. Harvey Witherspoon waa the fore? man, and composed, for the most part, of physicians, rendered a verdiot that tbe deceased came to his death from an epi? leptic flt. A pick-pocket, who had been ducked for bis malpractice, aooounted to his brethren for the derangement of his ap dearance, by coolly observing that he had not been able to chango his dress since his return from a celebrated water? ing place.
