COLUMBIA. S. C. V Tueiday ?crninjr, July 2, 1872. Tb? Indirect Damages. This obstaole to the operation of the Geneva tribunal of arbitration hag at last been removed. So all the advices from Washington, London and Geneva con oar in stating, and we presume it is true. How the thing was done has not jot been made very clear. Like every step in this wonderful scheme ol arbitration whieh is to Inaugurate a new era in civilization, and do away hereafter with the barbarous custom of nations resort? ing to bloody and expensive war to settle their differences, thia last happy relief is involved in no little annoying per? plexity. It is not made intelligible how the question could have come np before the tribunal for adjudication. There was no ?9800 made, inasmuch as England refused to appear and plead until these indirect damages were withdrawn. It would seem that the arbitrators mast have stepped a little aside from the strict course of judicial proceedings for the sake of preserving the treaty, and an? nounced their judgment of the non-ad misaibility of. the claim for consequential damages. Their notion has simply eased Grant'? fall a little, and-, substantially sustained the grounds which England has all along assumed. There has been great exultation in England over the decision of the arbi? trators, th? authorities evidently regard? ing it a triumph on the part of their Government. They ate probably cor reet, bat the end of the squabble, how? ever gratifying to England, will doubt? less give very general satisfaction on this side the Atlantic, too. There has been but precious little feeliug manifested in America in favor .of the absurd claim for indirect damages. ' It sounded big and brave when the faot was first announced, and the idea of mulcting old England in the sum of several hundred millions of gold waa, doubtless, very pleasing to American..pride..and self-importance. Bufe the determined stand which Eng? land assn med against; ; snob an out? rageous proceeding caused our people to calmly consider tb? ju?tic? pf our course. They were soon convinced that the con? sequential , .business was. nothing more thnn a disgraceful piece of chicanery1, concocted, for political.effect by Grant or his partisans, and founded neithef : in justice,v good' faitbv' nor good cense. They are glad ^'"bei^d of them On al mo&ti any. terms. They have boen- a source of great humiliation to the repub? lic, but the shame must mainly rest upon Grant and his advisers, for the people have not sustained them in their petti? fogging work any moro than baa the board of arbitration. As to the d?cision, or whatever the action of the tribunal may bo termed, by which the everlasting claims were disposed of, Earl Granville, in the House of Lords, spoke as follows. "The purport of their statement. is that: after a careful perusal of- every? thing said by the representatives of the United States, touching the indirect elaims, the arbitrators bave, individually and oolleori*?jyp colluded, that ?ha said indirect clorida . do bot constitute, upon principles bP International law,- good foundation for awards of damages be? tween nations, and should be wholly ex eluded from consideration; nnd would have been evan it no disagreement had arisen aa to the-'competency of the tri? bunal to decide them." After the announcement of this opi? nion, Dlr. Bancroft Davis,.hiiviog com? mun icated'wi th the authorities nt Wash? ington, stated to the court that "the United States would not further insist on the indirect claims bei ere the tri? bunal, and that they might bc excluded from all further consideration." There is now no reason why the arbitration should not proceed rapidly and amicably iu tue adjustment of the direot damages, and we presume it will, . ?- ? TUE SOUTH CAROLINA RADICALS.-The Radical political family of South Caroli? na is in no wise a happy one. They, says the Washington Patriot, had united to suoh an extent to plunder the State, that they grew snspioiops of each other, and one clique cannot put trust and con? fidence in the other. Private letters re? ceived herc show a new cause of trouble. It seems that Governor B. E. Scott and F. J. Moses entered sometime ago into an alliance, offensive and defensive, whereby it was agreed that Scott should not be a candidate for Governor, bat should throw all his influence for Moses for that office; and Moses, in turn, was to secare Scott's eleotion to the United States Sonate in placo of Senator Saw? yer, whoso term expires March 8, 1873. Now, it seems, however, that Scott can not trust Moses, and has determined to seek the Governorship. This determi? nation has upset a good many plans, not only iu South Carolina, bot also in -Washington, and letters inspired at the White House have been sent to South Carolina, asking if the differences cannot be amicably arranged, and suggesting that otherwise great harm may result lo the party in the November election.,. -?+???+?-.

WHAT TO DO IN A CASE OF SUN BTitoKii.-Now that the true- nature of tho disease ia known, the method of treatment becomes more obvious! arid we learn nbt merely what to do, hoi also what not ld do. lis boat ia tho carjso of the symptoms, coomoq sepBeapoints to the abstraction of the heat in some way as the mode of onre. And here agaio vivisection comes into play. I have taken an animal, comatose, paralysed by heat, apparently dying, and plo uged it into a banket of coldwater. . The tem peratureVf the sufferer st onco rapidly foll until ? teaohed the nominal point, and just in proportion tbat of the water in the buckt rose. As the animal Gbol? ed, its respirations became more regu? lar, the unsteady whirr of the heart was stilled, by i and by the eye-lide were lifted, and o?t from the glassy eye came the beams of new life. If tbe period of unconsciousness had been short, the animal was in a fow hours apparently as well as ever; if long, tbe animal would recover sufficiently to recognize its sur? roundings and to straggle for release, bat when allowed to escape, the para? lyzed limbs and the slow, imperfect pro? gression indicated the profound injury the'nervous system bad reoeived, and in a few hours tbe animal would be dead. The lessons of these experiments are too plain to be overlooked. Whatever is to be done in this disease must be done qaiokly. Glinical as well as expe? rimental observation enforces this doc? trine. There should in such cases be no waiting for the doctor. The remedy is so simple, the death so imminent, that the gbod Samaritan passing by should save his brother. The good Samaritan must, however, have a cool head to be useful. Not every man that falls uncon? scious on a hot day has sun-stroke. There is. fortunately one oriterion so easy of application that any one can use it. Qo at onoe to the fallen man, open his shirt-bosom, and lay tbe hand upon his chest; if the skin be cool, you may rest assured that, whatever may be the trouble, it is not sun-stroke. If, on the contrary, the skin bs burning hot, the coso is certainly sun-stroke; end no time should be lost. The patient mast be carried to the nearest pump or hydrant, stripped to his waist, and bucketful after buok?tful of cold water be dashed over him outil consciousness begins to return, or tho intense heat o! the surface de? cidedly abates. [Dr. Wood, in LippincoU's for July. THE DEATH OP CHARLES LEVEE.-The following is an extract from a private letter dated Trieste, June 4: "You will, of course, have known by this time that Charles Lever is pow a name of the past. He died quietly and without a struggle, in his sleep, on Saturday last, between 12 and 2 P. M. Wlieh I saw his re? mains, a little before 5, he was lying with, his coat and waistcoat off, on his right side, with his h'odd resting on his right hand. But for the perfeot stillness and the:gray.look upon the face, he might have been sleeping only. The hearth action simply died out. Poor fellow I it was the death be wished for, ns he greatly dreaded a l'o?g and painf ul struggle. We laid hie remains beside those of his wife, last evening, at a little after G. Her death broke bis heart. From tho time she died his recent illness dated, aod.be bus not remained long behind bon. . I never saw a man who at? tached to himself tpose who were at all intimate with bim as ho did. I kuew him but for a short period, and I really loved him.; He had en immense f un end. He left bis affairs thoroughly arranged; the very mouey for the expenses of the interment waa found in an envelope, with these words: 'Tbe modest sum I wish expended on my funeral."' \ ) . --.-rr*r*-*r-?

They tun several' express trains on that road. The ass .had not consulted the table. The ?next morning his owner wanted to harneas him up to haul some vegetables to market.

Tbe Kansas 'City Times says this was the language employed by Gen, Logan's own sister when he was declaiming in Southern Illinois that he never had sympathized with, and given aid to the Soutb.

He placed the dog in the front yard that night and camoch?me late. Aljon t a quarter-past 1 o'clock Met?. Collins was surprised to perceive her -hualaaud as? cending the stairs in haste, and bringing the vigilant wetoh-dog with-bini. - There waa only, about a pound and a half of Mr. Odilias ID'the dog's month, but still Mr. Collins said it was painful -exceedingly painful-and he would be glad if Mrs. Collins would take u mon? key-wrench or something, and pry that watch-dog right off, or blast bim away with nitro-glycerine and such things. The faithful animal was ut last killed, and his head chopped off; but even after sixteen teeth bad been extracted from Mr. Collins, he always explained wbeu company came, that he preferred to stand on account of inflamatory rheuma? tism in his leg. He says now that, the next time he wunts a dog to bay bim deep-mouthed welcome home, he will pnrobase one of those cast-iron dogs which lie still when a mau climbs over the fence. THE COIIOBED Vori.-The Maryville (Tenn.) Republican, n paper owued and edited exclusively by colored men, has the following pithy paragraph in a late issue: '.After the moat careful, mature delibe? ration, we have concluded to unfurl our standard and hoist at our mast head the ouly candidate for President who repre? sents the principles for whioh we have battled-Horace Greeley." Notwithstanding the deiperate efforts being made by the Radical leaders to carry the colored vote over bodily to Grant, it may come about that bofore ninety days have passed, three-fourths of the colored pcoplo North and South will cordially endorse the sentiment of the extraot quoted above. The African brother may be deceived for a time, but be has a happy faculty of getting his eyes open to his own interests; und when this process is accomplished, be will give bis ballot and his influence iu behalf of the man who has ever been his firmest and warmest friend. Certain indications point in this direction, and Grant, in thu end, may find himself deprived of the support of that class of citizens whose rights and wrongs he did not appreciate until he needed them to bolster him into office.-Missouri Republican. The cat-fish aristocracy is pre-emi? nently the saloon builder. He builds no Bohool-housc; he builds no church; he constructs .Abe log saloon with mud daubed interstices.

Arrived there, ho is met by a score of leau, hungry curs that pour in a canino cataract over the worm-eaten fence, and driving them back with im? precations, he gets to bed uuder a heap of vile gray blunkets.

So general has the public confidence become in Dr. Ayer's medicines, and so great the demand for them, that un? principled villains ore attempting to de? ceive the unwary by imposing upon them their worthless nostrums under a similarity of name. Cherry Pectoral Lozenges, Dr. Ayer's Troches, Ayer's Pastiles for Coughs, Cherry Pectoral Cough Drops, Ayer's Fever and Ague Cure, Dr. Ayer's Indian Pills, &c, Sec., (none of which are of Dr. Ayer's manu? facture or composition,) ore sp?cimens of this villainy and deceit. They not only defraud the sick of their money, but of their health, or the recovery of their health, which is far more impor? tant than money. From actual counter? feits the people ar proteotod by law, whioh the Doctor promptly eui oreen, but these evasions sometimes elude the law, and purchasers must protect themselves by refusing to be deceived by them. \ Dover (N. II. ) Bee. A workingman in New York urges the organization of an association of married men, and for the following reasons: "I am a workingman and a married man, and think it about time that we formed a married men's association to protect us from the young men that belong to the unions. As a body, they are the poorest workmen at the trades. They don't care much about work, but We have wives and families, and they must be provided for. Let ?B call a meeting for that pur? pose, and it will be well attended, and act for ourselves." A Mrs! Jones died in Oglethorpe Coun? ty, Ga., a few days since, from actual starvation. She was consumptive, and the mother of tour or five negro chil? dren. At Oglethorpe, Macon County Ga., oa Friday, J. C. Lloyd and J. lt. Hol senbnko were hung for tho murder of Judge G. W. Fish, in February. 1871. Col. John A. Richardson died very ! suddenly, in Wilmington, N. C., on Sa? turday, the 29th ult. GOING TO HEAVEN.-All executed mur? derers are supposed to go directly to Heaven. The road to tho ?'realms of tb? blest," if we may believe th oso, cler? gymen who attend on the condemned, is via the gallows, and while there may or may not be a reasonable hope of salva? tion for the man-who bastioned in life like the most of us, be is certain of eter n&glory who has butchered his wife, or his toother, aud baa become a repentant Christian about a week before execution 1 We ?re unable to see that such religious teachings are particularly well oaloulated to put au end ta. the prevalent taste, among ignorant peoplo, for bloodshed. Mrs. Pbobe Campbell, who was hung in Toronto recently for the brutal assassin? ation of ber husband and for witnessing its perpetration by one Coyle, a reek leos fellow with whom she bad illicit rela? tions, is the last instance ou record of this species of gallows regeneration. ?be was tho woman who said to Coyle: "When the twelve jurymen look at you, stare them in the face, for if you look down they will swear you ure guilty." dbe was the woman who, having seen thu murder and assisted at it, said to the assassin: "You need never fear that I will turn against you," and yet did con? fess bis culpability and try to conceal her own. 8ho was tba woman who, at first, laid the whole waight of crime upon her oousin, a mau who had not even been near the premises, aud sub? sequently acknowledged that she did it to ooreen her guilty lover. Yet this wo? man-bold, good looking, immoral, self? ish and oruel-was soared into religious observances after her conviction. She took to singing psalms when the Bound of the hammer upon the gibbet fell on bur ears, und affected to be convinced that, after death, shu was going to be a white-robed angel, sud si eg hosannas, with a golden harp at her side, through all eternity, at the "foot of tho throne!" No doubt, ii the clergyman really in? spired this belief, thu wicked woman died much more contentedly than Bbc could have departed with a full convic? tion of her responsibility hereafter for her guilt. But could suah a creature so readily be convinced that she wan con? trite aud forgiven? And if uot, was the temporary delusiou justifiable? We leave it to casuists to determine.

"BOLLY FOR Yon."-Street car scenes are often very amusing, aud however tired tho traveler may be if hu but notes the characteristics of bis fellow-passen? gers the trip from Canal to Toledano streets will seem a short one. A few days ugo, when going home to dinner, we ?aw in one corner of the car, u deli? cate, lady-like female, with n very light complexion uun red bair. Next to ber sat a well-known citizen, a bon vivant of ut least ISO pounds weight, who bad evidently.beam to "seo a mau," in fact, wo rather think he bud seen several men. At St. Patrick's Church the lady arose and gave the bell one pull, nud au she remained standing while the cur moved ou, our "beuvy weight" moved iuto her stat ia tho corner and passed into n peaceful nup. Near Julia street tho lady gave the strap two energetic phils, but being already on the lower crossing, the Jehu went to the upper side and there stopped. The lady, who had been swinging to and fro for nearly u block, was evidently "riled," aud turning to the driver, she petulantly said: "Next time I ring the bell twice you will stop, or I will report you." Suddenly raising himself, our festive citizen exolaimed: "Bully for yon! bully for you! You ain't got that red heud for nothing." An audible smile spread over the car, and the lady with tho auburn looks hastily retreated. [New Orleans Times.
