COLUMBIA, S. C. Wednesday morn me, July 17, 1872. For President of the United Slates. HORACE! OUEELKT, of Ntvr York. For Vice-President. B. GRATZ BKOWN, of Missouri. Tbe World on Mr. Greeley. It is diffloult to understand tbe real position of tho New York TForW. Its course has been marked by rt series of inconsistencies and self-contradictions for the past four or five months. It is an able journal, beyond all question perhaps the ablest edited of any political paper in the United States. We have always admired it and attached great im? portance to its well-digested views. But our admiration is being fast provoked out of us by ita present absurd attitude. At tho inception of the Liberal move? ment, there was no more earnest advo? cate of its principles than the World, and we doubt if there was any moro powerful instrumentality to its primitive success. The World was regarded as thephief standard-bearer of the Demo? cracy, and the bold leaders of Liberalism on the Republican side were encouraged to believe that what it so promptly aud heartily endorsed would bo supported by the party which at that time it cer? tainly represented. Tho World con? tinued to encourage and to hold out promises, indirectly, it is true, but none the less binding on that account, that it would sustain the movement up to tho very moment of the Cincinnati nomi? nation. No sooner were Greeley and Brown nominated, than this paper, to tbe astonishment of all its readers, faced about, and instead of pushing forward the good work which it had so com? mendably helped to inaugurate, teemed day by day with tho most bitter and virulent attack? upon Mr, Greeley. It did not desist fr >m this injurious and inconsistent course even after it acknow? ledged that the nomination of Mr. Gree? ley at Baltimore was a foregone conclu? sion, thus showing that the motives of its action was not simply to defeat Mr. Greeley's endorsement by the Demo? cracy, bot that it waa impeded either by envy, or else that it is acting a treacher? ous part in the interests of Grant But one might have forgiven all this, attri? buting the World's vagaries to a tempo? rary aberration of its usually sound judgment, had the paper abided in good faith the action of the Baltimore Con? vention, which it waB pledged to do be? fore that body convened, and whioh it bas deliberately expressed its purpose to do since. Instead, however, of supporting man? fully the Baltimore nomination, we fiud the World indulging in lengthy diatribes against the Tribune, and endeavoring, in a sort of covert, sneaking way, to array the Liberal Republicans aud the Democrats against one another, by dwell? ing upon tho mighty obligations which the latter have oonferred upon Mr. Gree? ley. The World manifests very plainly that the loaves.and fishes of office, or, at any rate, simple party aggrandizement, is the chief consideration it has in view. The World appears, for instance,, far more desirous that the Democracy should "put a hook through Mr. Greeley's nose," or that the party should have the lion's share of the Cabinet appoint? ments, than of the election of the Libe? ral ticket and the salvation of the coun? try. Wk The Herald, thongh it favors Grant > ''-' personally, is, by its unbiased criticism of the faults of his administration, and its candid acknowledgment of the patri? otic spirit which underlies the Liberal movement, and of the honesty and worth of Mr. Greeley, a far better Libe? ral paper than the World has yet shown itself to be. The very first idea of the Liberal movement is, that in relation to the two existing political parties, the Democratic and the Republican, it shall be non-partisan. It cannot be oalled either a D?mocratie or a Repnblioan party, as those parties now exist. It is to occupy a middle position, forming a new party; whioh, will embrace thc healthful pr in oipl es of both the old par? ties, harmonized and cemented together with th? new and nobie principio of re conciliation between the sections of the Union, it expunges from Democracy all the dead issues whioh have sprung from slavery and nltra views on the sub? ject of States rights. It lops off from Radicalism its military, despotic and centralizing tendencies. It is a protest, indeed, against party tyranny and part? corruption on all sides, brought about by the people, supported by the people, and intended for their relief. They who, like the World, would ham? per Mr. Greeley's success by forcing in mero partisan considerations, either do not ap p reo i at o the true nature of the Liberal movement, or else are wittingly endeavoring to injure and belittle it. Mr. Greeley, if eleoted, will go into office hampered by obligations to no po? litical patty, and will make bis appoint? ments solely with the view of beat eon nerving tho pnblio interests. Democrat or Republican should be, and we believe will bo, to bim, a question of no oonsi sideration in filling the public offices. Nor will he be expected, in tho distribu? tion of tho publio patrouage, to confine himself to thoso who may have support? ed his oleotion. That false doctrine, in? augurated by Andrew Jucksou, that "to the victors belong the spoils," has been moro potent for evil iu corruptiug the civil service than anything else, and ull good men will hail with delight the day when it shall bo repudiated and over? turned. We Bay to tho World, that it is on the wrong page again, when it speaks of Mr. Greeley being constrained to do this or that for the Democratic party. He is a reform candidate, and his only dut}* as President will be to his country. If bo performs that faithfully aud well, ns we feel assured that he will do, uine teuths of those who elect bim will be satisfied, and will not complain, even though his Gabinot be made up.more of Republicans than Democrats. Tho Canvaii tn NortU Carolina. The eyes of tho country are now turued upon North Carolina, where the first State election sinco the Presidential nominations will take place, on the 1st of August. The Radicals have placed the State among tho Hst of those certain for Qrant, and their defeat, they well know, would bo tba death-knell of Grantism. If the olection is a fair ono, and there is no great fraud, bribery or military in? terference by the Government, we feel very sure that our sister State will do her duty, and roll np a handsome majority of from ten to fifteen thousand votes in favor of the Liberal candidates. But the powers that bo at Washington aro putting forth extraordinary exertion.1', and it seems are scrupling at no corrupt moans to effect their purposes. It is openly announced by Congressman Beck, of Kentucky, that ho finds from a per? sonal examination of the books at Wash? ington, that $223,000 has beeu sent iuto North Carolina during the past year, ostensibly to defray judicial expenses. But, as Mr. Book remarks, when it is known that $5,000 per annum is the or? dinary expenditure for such purposes, it is clear that this enormous amount of $223,000-waB not intended far any legiti? mate use. Ia addition to this, it is cur? rently reported in the Northern prest that the Grant Central Executive Com? mittee has sent down a fund of $100,00C to aid ia the campaign. There is t pretty heavy majority of whites ia Nortfc Carolina; but in the Westera portion ol the State-tho mountain Counties-? large number of. the whites are very lon and worthless people, very muoh akin ii habits, nature aod appearance to th? saod-hillers ia this Couaty. They art of that, clous whom the darkeys cali "poor buckra." During the war, they were d?serter?, and always they havt been aa idle, shiftless and unreliable Bet Like the sand-hill people hero aud mos) of the members of our preseut Geaeral Assembly, they are ready at all times tc sell their votes aud betray their State fo a few dollars. T7#?& this class the Radicals will worl with their money, and if they caa sue oeed ia getting free access to these pee pie, and proffer their bribes without de teotion, they may succeed ia making th contest quite a close one. If, ia addi tioa to this, they caa succeed ia gettin, up some deeds of violence about th polls, and thea throw out a few precinct and stuff the ballot-boxes at the otbere they may possibly have an appareat su< cess. But we have great faith ia th masseB of oar white brothers ia the ol North State; that they will be cool aa sagacious, yet earnest aod' untiriog i their patriotic efforts to wrest their Sta! entirely from the bands of the pluude iog carpet-baggers. Two years ago tl Reformers oarried the State by a fa majority, aod we believe they will do again. While Holden was ia power, aod tl Radicals controlled the Legislature, tl same spirit of pnblio plundering chara terized its aotion as does that of the g verament of this State. The publ debt was inoreased ia an alarming mai nor, taxation was made intolerable, tl publio institutions were neglected, ac fraud, extravagance and peculation pe vaded every department. The good pei pie, of ooaree, will strain every nerve prevent a repetition of these evils, at we cannot bnt believe that, having tru and honesty, justice, and every nob impulse on their side, they most sn ceed. -?-?.?-?

POLITICAL JOTTINGS.-The Radical papers are publishing au old letter from Giant to his mother when he was at West Point, to show his sterling traits of mind and heart. Well, it is commendable in a man to love and honor his mother, but the extension of this affection to so many brothers-in-law is the matter. Gen. Wiley, who heads the Demo? cratic State tiokot in Ohio, was Colonel of the -list Obio Regiment, and lost a leg at tbe battle of Missionary Ridge. It takes tba back-bone out of Logan's speeches when one remembers that he said of Grunt a yonr ago, "Ho is not compotcnt to preside over a ward cuu cus." Senator Sumner, it is said, bas an? nounced bis inteution of giving active aid to tho Greeley ticket since the Balti? more nomination. They're coming, ho? nest Iloraoo, 400,000,000 voters strong! The Radicals claim to be a live party, and yet the best "Shibboleth" they eau muster is what Horace Grceloy said four years ago, aud what Graut did still fur? ther back in tho country. The Grant papers arc now telling us what a very bad mau Mr. Greeley is how unsafe und unreliable. If thut is so, remarks tho Cincinnati Enquirer, they ure particeps criminis. They have been politically acting with Mr. Greeley for tho last twenty years, and never found the least fault with him. On the contrary, they extolled bim in high terms. Now, after they huvu led us into believing him to bo both a good and great mau, they turn around aud assure Uii that he is jest thu reverse, and that they have always known it. Mow, ac? cording to their own .showing, what a set of scamps they must bo. Tte mun who will conceal another's errors and faults for twenty years, when it is neces? sary tho public should know them, is no better than he is. Wo think the plea of estopplo comes naturally and appro? priately against this Grant abuse of Mr. Greeley. Tho New York Nulio)i says: "Some Greeley clubs have been formed in Con? necticut, and wc hear of numbers of good and respectable Republicans being in some of them." Of New York, it says: "Also we bear of more Greeley Republicans in this State than would be imagined by the readers of the Times." And further: "From New Hampshire, also, we hear news of Republican disaf? fection and Republican apathy. " Coming from a Graut organ, this is decidedly cold aomfort for its own sido of the house, but the Nation, it is to b j pre? sumed-, means honestly to give the news us it should. O! How THIS WOULD IS GIVEN TO LY? ING!-The Ku Klux stories have broken out again with renewed violence. The latest is from Missouri? aud.is presented with the usual coloring of the "Satanio school." This resource, however, can no longer ccrve the .purposes of tho Ra? dicals. The people of the North have grown familiar with these romanoes, and understand, perfectly well that they are an article of trade with the Grant peo? ple just now. Tho supply of tbese in? ventions bas always kept pace with the demand^ aud just now the latter is very activo. Indeed, the market will grow mor? feverish every day until, as the canvass gets fairly on foot, we shall ex? pect' to soo tho ghustly fancies of Monk Lewis eclipsed by the stories given to tho North, but, as wo have said, these fictions have bad their day, and the more numerous and extravagant they are now made, the less will be their effect. * ?? ?> > Eminent medical authority asserts that "in the human body there are five pounds of phosphate of lime, ono of car? bonate of lime, three ounces of fluoride of calcium, three and a half ounces of oommon salt, all of which have impor? tant offices to fill. Not one of them must bo allowed to fall in quantity be? low the normal standard. If the lime fails, the booen give way; if salt is with? held, the blood suffers and digestion ia impaired; if phosphorus is sparingly fur? nished, the mind is weakened und the tendency is toward idiocy." It's want of phosphorus with Grant. That's it. ACCIDENTAL, DUOW.NI NU.-A colored man, named Charles Walker, about fifty years old, was drowned at the New Bridge, Sunday afternoon, between 2 and 3 o'clock. He was tho captain of the ferry boat, which plies between the bridge and tbe other Bide of the river, and had made several trips, when he slipped off his clothing, and said he would take a bath. He jumped into the water, in the presence of several by? standers, who imagined ho could swim, and did not interest themselves particu? larly witb his actions. After he plunged in the water, he rose twice and then dis? appeared. His body was recovered by dragging for it.-Charleston Courier. m - A Connecticut man, whose dog wears n five dollar collar, can't send his chil? dren to Sunday school, for tbe want of decent clothes.

EDITOR PHCSSIX: Tue remains of Gen. W. K, Easley, who unexpectedly died in Atlanta, Thursday last, reached here Saturday morning, at daylight, per spe? cial train-promptly and generously famished by the authorities of the Greenville and Columbia Railroad, and ia charge of a delegatioa of Musons aod citizcas who left here for that purpose ou Friday morning. Tho romains were re coivod at tho depot by a large body of sorrowing citizens, and, after a while, escorted to the residence of tho de? ceased, nnd during tho day (Saturday) arrangements were made for the funeral ceremonies of the next day, (Sunday.) It was intended that the services of tho deceased would take place iu the Pres byteiiun Church, but that edifico being too small to accommodate the publio de? sire, it was transferred to the largo Bap? tist Church. At 0 o'clock, the body was brought in, under charge of his brethren of Recovery Lodge, No. 3!), A. F. M., aud duly deposited. Kor. E. T. Buist, of tho Presbyterian Church, pronounced the discourse, which touched a sympa? thetic chord in the hearts of his congr?? gation. Tho body was thou taken in charge by his brethren of the Masonic order, who were ont in strong force, for fluni deposit in the family burial ground on tho Pickeus side of tho Saluda, seven miles from this city, aud buried with the impressive ceremonies of thu Order. General Easley was born and reared iu Pickeus, of Revolutionary stock, but resided nearly all his lifo in Greenville, lie was a prominent member of the legal profession ; a gentleman of ?duca? tion and rciincineut iu every sense of tho terni-u perfect specimen of the up country Carolina gentleman-"ouo of tho olden time." While be never de? scended to the tricks of the demagogue or the sycophant, lie coinmauded a vast iullueuce over our best citizens, solely from moral worth. He never found it convenient to sell himself or his race, or his section, for a mess of pottage, uor ever bowed bis knee to power or Bani. His orphan children, if they do not re? ceive wealth, receive, ut least, the price? less heritage of uu honest parent. Ho? nesty and wealth are uot twin sisters in these radical times. Geueral Easley, nt bis death, was au influential direcior aud attorney in the Air Line Railroad Company; und, per? haps, as far as Greenville is c mceruod, there is no ona here who can hil his place. We leave to others more compe? tent to pay a titting tributo to departed woith. M. MIKE O'Coxxou's SPEECH -The New York papers speak highly of the speech of the Hon. M. P. O'Counor. The "World says: Mr. O'Counor, of Charleston, made a flaming speech, full of real Irish elo? quence, in favor of the Cincinnati plat? form and nominees. Ho presented the Southeru viow of the question OD all sides so glowingly that the Convention yelled again. The desperate condition of the South, her sufferings nuder the present Administration, her despair of any hope or aid, save through the pre? sent coalition-this was the theme elabo? rated by Mr. O'Connor. His speech was a spicy preparation for the vote on the platform. The Tribune says: Mr. O'Connor, having straightened oat every point on which opposition had arisen, closed with a most pathetic ap? peal to the Couvention not to stop at mere words, but to lay aside unimportant differences of opinion and come to the rescue of the down-trodden and Afflicted South. Strong and earnest as Senator Bayard was, had there been any consider? able division in tho Convention, it would hive disappeared after this remarkably eloquent and effective reply. The Herald says: A South Carolina Irishman, by the name of O'Connor, was nt once recog? nized by Doolittle, and he came forward und took the stand for about twenty mi? nutes, and made a speech such us few members of tho Cincinnati Convention would have had thu pluck to do. He said, relative to the blacks io the State from which he came, that nobody was anxious to take their hard-earned and hard-wou ballot from them; and nt these sentences, to tho surprise of the whole Couvention, the galleries rose up and gave one of the loudest yells yet raised iu the Presidential nomination. O'Counor is a stout, prompt and florid debater, full of action, and ho mudo ono of the groat successes of tue day. And the Times (Grant's own) makes this spiteful fling: O'Connor, of South Carolina, made a stirring appeal for the surrender, in which he managed to show that the De? mocracy had been totally wrong on every political issue for thu last twenty years. Artificial small-pox is an amusing ex? pedient for escaping from prison.

G., MONDAY EVENING, July 15, 1872. AD assemblage of tbe GraDt wing of the Radical party convened in the Court Houso, to-night, to listen to a speech from A. S. Wallace, said to be a member of Congress from this District. (After some reflection, we remember that thc Uuited States House of Representatives placed him in tho seat to which I. G. McKissiok was elected by the people.) Ho stated that he was prospecting or nosing around to see tho chances for re? election. Ho "greased tho fut sow," by sacrilegiously comparing Grant to tho immortal Washington, us tho first in war, first in peace, etc.; declared Grunt thu friend of all the iiutious and peo? ples of the earth iu their down-trodden condition, (except, perhaps, the negroes of Uayti and SUD Domingo and the pa? triots of Cuba. It Mr. Wallace, M. C., would find bis way into tho Albany Peni? tentiary, be would find some suffering mortals, unfortunately covered with u white skin, upon whom bc and his mas? ter Grunt might opeu their bowels of compassion. Wallace glorified Grant for paying so ranch of the national debt and reducing all the taxes and tariffs, and furnishing tho people free Ina und coffee mid sugar. (Wv viii take sugar in ours,) but hope Wallace will ex? plain how it is that we, and other niggers, have to pay live ceuls more por pound for coffee now than before the tariff \* rn taken off. After a sickening laudation o? his friend, Jus. L. Orr, his rt o lomon tad o was brought to a close. Mr. James M. Allen, being called for, appeared, un 1, after tho usual eulogy on Grant, went for thu State Government; coufessed that rascality had been ram? pant; placed the State debt at exactly $15,000,000-the larger portion of which was created before tho war, to keep the niggers iu slavery, and the lesser portion after the war, to keep them out ol' slavery; uud thou very conveniently undertook to throw the whole burdeu of the State debt on the shoulders of the Democratic party of tho Stute, and then boldly announced tho intention of re? pudiating the whole debt. Thus you sec, Mr. Editor, the key note sounded to take our "colored friends." As ire hold no bonds, let those who have foudled the tiger now feel its claws. When such balderdash is put forth us argument, it is proof con? clusive of a sinking cause. A few more such meetings will send our "colored friends" liead-loug into thc arms of Uncle Horace. M. Tsaug is the name of a Chinese waiter in a coneert hall in the Champs Elysees of Paris, whose bizarre story serves to interest the patrons of the place. He dresses after the European fashion, with the familiar jacket and apron of the pro? fessional waiter, and wears his cue rolled around his head. He speaks French with sufficient fluency to be understood. This is the little story that be has to tell: He was formerly in the service of the Empress of China, who had confided to bim the charge of a certain fan, repre? senting the imperial dragon, worked in green upon a yellow field. This fan was a sacred affair, and desoended from the late Emperor, and the Empress intended to deliver it to ber son upon the day of his marriage. Unhappily, Tsang, one day, broke the fun, and was condemned, in consequence, to decapitation. Being a person of ingeuuity, however, Tsaug managed to extricate himself from his dilemma by seizing the throat of his in? tended executioner, before that func? tionary had drawn bis sword, and thus strangled bim. As there was no witness to this affair, he dressed himself in the extinct executioner's attire, escaped without suspicion, and embarked upon a French steamer which was abont leaving port. And thus is it that, after having worked for two years with a tea mer? chant of Marseilles, Tsaug may now be heard ervine out every evening in tbe Champs Elysees "Glace citron 1 Serrez I Bourn!" WRIT OF INJUNCTION.-The Wilming? ton Star of Saturday, says: "E. D. Childs, President of the Carolina Nation? al Bank, Columbia, S. C., has sued out a writ of injunction before his Honor Judge G. W. Logan, returnable at Rutherfordton on yesterday, the 12th inst., restraining the President, Board of Directors, and others, from auy further steps in submitting to a judgment of foreclosure of tbe mortgage on the Wil? mington, Charlotte and Rutherford Rail? road, and that they be required to oall, according to the by-laws of said com? pany, a speoial meeting of the stock? holders, to the end that they may direot what answer shall be made to any notion for snoh foreclosure. The injunction provides for a re-organization of the company, and that a receiver be appoint? ed by the court to take oharge and con? trol of all affairs of the company, with a view ef paying off the interest duo and unpaid, and make provision to pay the same hereafter, pursuant to snob orders as may be made in this cause. It pro? vides further, that an order of injunction issue to Judge Onderdonk and tho other bond-holders and trustees, who are de? fendants, restraining them from prose? cuting their suit until further orders." Vegetable ivory, Mr. Greeley says, matures best when planted in African gum. whioh is plentifully produced at the South. When tho plant begins to deve? lop, it should bo carefully watered, and occasionally scraped with a hoe handle, and when fully matured the frnit Oin easily be gathered with a pair of stout pincers, or knocked off the tree with a brick. . Wo are told now that "chignons fall en cascade down tbe back and ripple under waves of lace, which tumble in chaotic confusion from tho top of the new, flat crowned hats."
