COLUMBIA. S. C. Saturday 'dor ni ag:, August IO, 1872. For President of the United States. HORACE GUBELKY. or New York. For Vice-president H. GRATZ IltlOWN, or Minoan. The Duty or Colerett Votera* We occupy a position of advantage to ?observo the carrent and drift of pub lio opinion among tho colored people in this and other States of the South. We have noticed that, with hero and there an exception, they acorn to adhere tena? ciously to Grant, and ignore the olaiuiB of Horace Greeley to their support. No colored pnblio man in this Stato hus -raised his voice in his favor. This una? nimity of feeling against bim, in the face of his life-long ?ocord, is not in tho natural order of things, and is far from being creditable to tho race. It is as? suredly strange, in view of the certain knowledge which they possess of the great, the almost unparalleled services which Gioeley has rendered to their cause. Among the public men of the North who have followed in the wake of Wilberforce and Clarkson, Greoley has stood for more than thirty years amongst the foremost in zeal, and in power and efficiency, primus inter pares. Samner has delivered clever harangues, William Lloyd Garrison has skillfully managed tho Anti-Slavery Society, and Gerritt Smith has thrown the weight of a good character and honest intentions into the ?cale of the black man, tenderly nursing tho flame of Abolitionism, until it grew to be a consuming fire. But Greeley's fiery utterance! and forcible argumenta? tion in the Tribune, his line upon line and precept npon precept, all bound to pether by logical consistency and unim ? peaohablo sincerity, interfased with f or - vid "feeling and Bnstained by con our rout . opinion from every quarter, constitute a v work fully the equal of that uf the trio ?.af beading advocates just mentioned put v together. In this work, he lias never faltered nor wavered. From first to last, it has worn the strong characteris? tics of stability and constancy. Whatever credit may be claimed for ?the liberation of the slaves of the South 'is thuB due in a larger degree to Horace 'Greeley than to any other man. And the same may be said with equal truth of the part he hos taken in procuring ?he passage by Congress of the constitu? tional amendments which secure the co? lored people in their civil and political rights. In the maintenance of his posi? tions, he has been constant in season and out of season, equally vigilant and bold, and at last triumphantly success? ful. This has been bis work, and this the fruit of his labors. It cannot be gainsaid. It stands before you. Look at it. It ?B an enduring column. Now, since the world began, nothing has been so much insisted on among men of any thought and any moral ele? vation as gratitude for favors conferred, and readiness to requite them. No duty is considered so indispensable among -upright and honorable men. Are wc -not, says an ancient moralist, to imitate those fertile Holds which yield far mort .than they have received? How moot nobler would this be than to press for ward, as is too often done, to confei services upon those from whom muoh ii expected ia return. Suoh persons tin cynical Swift had in view in his famoni definition of gratitude ns a lively Bensi of favors tu oome. We trust that some of our leadini colored men-men capable of consider ing things in the light of duty as well a of enlightened interest-will serious! revolve the problem which we are enden voring to place before them. Lot then consider what is their duty in general and in particular what it is toward Horace Greeley, and let them rom om bc ?hat no man may safely disregard o contemn a solemn duty. It is an offene -whtoh mankind will punish in them an their descendants, for all men detet those who are forgetful of benefits. An the eyes of mankind are upon then Men look with deep interest to see wbe their conduct will be in the exalted pos .tion to whiob, in the providence of Got: they have been so rapidly ad vaneo t They should see to it that it fall not bi low the just expectations which so muo offort and toil expended in their beha bave oreated. It is the boast of tl colored people amongst ns, that they ha> gone immeasurably beyond the degree < .civilization whioh has been reached j their mother country-Africa. Hei they have benefited by association wit the white race, by oontaot with the ii etitutions of a free, cultured people, I their habita and usages, by ohurohe schools, colleges, lectures and the pres The lines have fallen to them in pleasa: places; they have a goodly heritage. No such prospect meets the eye Africa. Travelers who havo gone tliith with tho moat benevolent motives, wi have assiduously sought to do them good, have boon baffled iu their praise? worthy efforts by the gross and brutal dispositions of the natives, and have found it impossible to mnko headway against their ignorance and supersti? tions, their bloody witchcraft practices, and their all pervading aud revolting in? ternal slave trade. Bruce, Baker, Living stoue, Speke, Grant, Du Cimillo and j others, all agree in tho accounts they give of their molal degradation, and ex pact no solid advancement in their con? dition until a reform is effected in these hideous practices aud rites. Sir Samuel Baker wus recently, and wo believe is still, in the heart of ?frica, iu the com? mand of over 1,000 men, struggling to suppress the slave trade, the horrors of which he witnessed wheu on his expedi? tion ten or a dozen years ago, to discover the sources of the Nile. Sir David Livingstone, in his roceut letters to James G. Bennett, Jr., like? wise expatiates upon its evils. Baker, who ia a warm opponent of slavery in all its forms, aud who is dedicating bis life and fortune to the recovery of the Af? ricans from their degradation, bas found his greatest obstacle in their positive aversion to receive and appreciate the good that he offers them, in their blind attachment to what bo seeks to extir? pate from amongst them, and in the lack of those elements of character upon which be may successfully build. Those who have read his Albert IP yama will reoall this, amongst other similar pas? sages io which that work abounds: "Haman nature viewed in its crude state, as pictured amongst African savages, is quite on a level with that of the brute, and not to be oompared with the noble oharaoter of the dog. There is neither gratitude, pity, love nor self denial; no idea of duty, no religion, but covetousness, ingratitude, selfishness and oraelty. All are thieves, idle, envious, and ready to plunder and enslave their weaker neighbors." Our colored population, as we have said, bave undoubtedly left their bro? thers in Afrioa far behind them. Here the word of God is in their bauds, and ii duly read and pondered, will produce the happiest effects npon their impres? sionable natures. Here they have been inured to labor, and have the blessed capacity, as well as the blessed privilege, of work. Here they have caught in? spiration from examples of stirring ac? tivity, of high purpose, of inflexible justice, and of pure truthfulness, which shine all around and before them in bis tory and in living men. The cha rac toi of Washington is theirs to study ano model themselves npon, accessible it histories whioh they can read. That ol Grant is before them in all its deformity, which they may shun, if they will. Maj it not be said to them by their modert Mokauna, when he drops the silver vei which conceals bis hideousness fron their eyes: "There, ye wiie saints, behold your light tour star: Te woula be dupes and victims, and ye arel" Horace Greeley, having done his dut; through a long life to black men, ?B nov engaged in similar efforts in favor of th; oppressed white people of tbe South Mr. Sumner well says tbat "the two dis oordant races find kindred hospitality ii him, and be thus becomes a tie of union.' Will the colored people appreciate biri in this commanding position? Will tb scales fall from their eyes, so that the; may see the fntare in the past of hi history, and learn that the latter is guarantee of the former, and a pledge o the accomplishment of all practicabl good in their behalf? Or will tbey, o: the other hand, show themselves to b no higher than their barbarous conten? poraries in far away Africa, devoid of sense of duty, animated by no high prie ciple, bereft of all feelings of gratitud toward those who have most Bignall and faithfully befriended and pr o tee te them? Colored people, think on thee things. COLUMBIA, S. C., August 9, 1872. To TUB EDITOR OF THE rna:NIX: I yonr issue of Wednesday last, appears communication from the pen of or Jeremiah Larkin, whioh was presente to my attention on my return to th oity to-day. This letter con tai na alleg tiona against me whiob are essen ti al false in every particular, and wbioh would have regarded as oontemptib and unworthy of notioe as the antin himself, did I not feel absolutely certai that they were instigated by a politio opponent, of whom this person Lark: is the paid pimp. It is enough for tl public to know that Larkin is beggan of reputation and character, and wi displaced from offioial position on a couut of his inability to give bond, place any statements ho may make b yond the pale of credibility, and bimst beyond tho notioe of any respectab citizen. C. C. PUFFER. -. ^ ? ?-. STILL TIIKY COME.-The Washingt< Star, of the 2d instant, says that "it stated on good authority, and general believed, that Col. Forney will deda for Greeley next Sunday, or in a ff days thereafter, at furthest." The Prosecution Fand? Tbe good work goes bravely on. Oar subscription list was swelled yesterday to between three and four hundred dollar*. Every man expressed his willingness to double his subscription, and some said they would do several times b'etter than that. When once the prosecutions are commenced, and there is a reasonable guarantee that the powers of the law will be strenuously sought to pat an end to tho frauds perpetrated upon the citi? zens by guilty officials and to punish the wrong-doers, many earnest oitizens us sure us that $1,000 can be readily raised right here in Columbia, if BO much be necessary, and other portions of tho Stute* do not respond promptly. But we ure thoroughly convinced, from our ex? perience here, that our people through? out the State will subscribe with no nig? gard bands, even from their scanty earn? ings, to redeem tbe State, to punish thieves, and to relieve themselves and their posterity of millions of dollars of fraudulent debt, which it is now plaiu, beyond all sort of question, bus been heaped upon them by a set of swiudlers, yclept the Financial Board of South Carolina. Wc are Coming. We have beon invited to "toe the mark" by tbe ring organ. Thia we ahull do, Mr. Union, in our next issue, and shall develop certain transactions that will probably bring to your view tracks that yon may have thought covered up. We are prepared for you. We have gono into this business in dead earnest, and intend to show up everything possi? ble that is connected with it, and "shove up" all whom the law can reach. Yon have our promise, Mr. Union, to "toe the mark" in our next. We have a few items in relation to a ceitain exposition made at a ward mooting, a few nights since, which we will give publication to for your especial benefit. Of oourse, yon were not represented at the meeting, and haven't beard anything about cer? tain damaging charges; oh, not "Look out for the engine when the whistle blows!" We cannot down .brakes when you are in front of us. We have thc figures, and will produce them. Yoe must not forget our little ebullition ol mathematical pride. ? < ?? ? ? CAMPAIGN* NOTES.-Ex-President Fill more has declared for Greeley, and, at wo have anticipated, Gen. Farnsworth, of Indiana, hos enlisted in the Libera causa It is a circumstance of impor tance that a man so distinguished foi cal mn esa and good judgment as Mr. Fill more, a man so completely lifted on from the mere party influences, and nn influenced by any feeling bot that of de votion to country, should feel called upot to proclaim his sympathy with the Libe ral cause and its candidate. Nor is tht accession of Gen. Farnsworth an unim? portant ovent. That gentleman is a mai of influence-distinguished for his man ly, frank and unpartisan oharacter. Botl these accessions will strengthen the Li boral cause. The Presidential campaign exhibits it influence even npon the applications fo patents. Several of the patents grantei last week, were for political devices Two were for designs for eampaigi medals, and one for a plaything-a boy' hoop-whioh shows representations o Mr. Greeley und Grant racing for tb White Honse. The "bloody chasm" is well nndei stood by the people. They equal! understand the importance of closing i np by conciliation. But Boutwell au Grant and Wilson, and all the malic nants who fatten on the distresses of tb land, declare that it would be a great OE (amity to close ap this terrible ohasa On this point, the Cincinnati plutfon says: "Third. We demand tho imm?diat and absolute removal of all disability imposed on account of the rebellioi which was finally subdued seven yeal ago, believing that universal amnest will result in complete pacification in a seotions of the country." The question ie, who ia for peace an who for diaoord? Who will cry on "Crucify, ornoify the South," that Grai may be President, and his folio wera ma; like maggots, find their lives in the d oaying body of the republic? Gen. Grant keeps on his janketir way, totally indifferent to affairs of Sta or the duties he neglects. Even h anxieties as to re-eleotion are said I weigh apon him very lightly, and i caso he is beaten, Washington will 1 very little honored with his presence : future. ?s Don Piatt says, "there a two seasons of the year, and only tv seasons, when Gen. Grant likes a litt recreation. One is that whioh preced the vacation, and tho other tbat whi< follows." The remainder of the time I is willing to devote to public duties. S. S. Tilton, lato chairman of the ll publican State Central Committee California, bas been elected President the Liberal Central Committee. ARREST ot' BURGLARS.-The party who bas been committing houvy robberies in Augusta, Maoon, Savannah and Char? lotte, waa arrested in the latter city on Tuesday. Two largo boxes of watches, 'ewelry aud silver ware were reoovored. The boxes fell into the hands of tho Mayor of Charlotto on Tuesday, by mero accident, through the indiscretion cf a party by the name of Johusou, who had them shipped from Suvaunah to Charlotte, per express, addressed to Wm. B. jobuson. Although persistent in bis inquiries for his expected treasure at the express office, the fates conspired to oheat tho consiguen out of his ill-got? ten guins, through tho merest accident. When the boxes did arrive, by mistake they were delivered at the residence of Col. Wm. Johnson, President of the Charlotte, Columbiu aud Augusta Rail? road. Col. Johnston, ou opening the boxes, was astonished by the glittering gold and silver and a miscellaneous col? lection of jewelry sufficient to stock a respectable pawnbroker's shop. The police of Charlotte, as wo learn, had succeeded in spotting the party committing d?pr?dation? ia that city, discovering that ho bad made ;a deposi? tory for bis plunder in an old hollow stump in the suburbs. Qoing to this point, they awaited the arrival of the depositor with a second load of plunder for deposit, until patience beiug ex? hausted, they started to return to tho city, taking with them a considerable amount of plunder found in the hollow stump. While on their return, they discovered a strange man approaching from the direction of the city. When he discovered the police, ho waa ob? served to make a quick, nervous motion with one of his bauds, as if throwing something into the bushes. Thia con? firmed thu suspicion of the police, who took bim into custody as Boon aa they met him. A search resulted in buding iu the bushes, near where he made the movement as if throwing something away, a fine gold watch, stolen from a gentleman in Charlotte, and for which the police were on the epeoiai search. The prisoner was then taken to the city, and committed to answer the charges against him. It was afterwards discovered that be was the identical Johnson who bad made such frequent and earnest inquiries at the express of j fice for the boxes of treasure previously I mentioned as carried to the residence of Col. Wm. Johnston. A despatch was received last night confirming the previous suspicions of the police, stating that the man under arrest was none other than one John McLare, an inmate of our city hospital a few weeks ago, and recently out of Charleston jail, and asking the authori? ties to secure a requisition upon the Go? vernor of North Carolina for the surren? der of the prisoner. Yesterday morn? ing, just a') he was about to take the tr AI ii bere for Charlotte, a member of the police foroe made the arrest of a j white mau, giving his name aa Frank. [ Fitben, claiming to hail from New York, aud who has beeu closely watched, uuder suspicion that he bad some couneotion with the recent burglaries committed here. There is strong circumstantial evi? dence to justify the suspicion that Mc Lure and Fithen wore in partnership in the wholesale plundering business. [Augusta Chronicle aud Sentinel. i JUDGE ORR IN THE PAST.-The Green? ville Enterprise brings to light the fol? lowing bit of Jadge Orr's history. In view of bis present advocacy of a mili? tary chieftain, this resurrection of bis former opinion is rather cruel: i Judge Orr, in his elaborate and pa I triotio speech in Congress, on the Presi , dential question between Franklin Pierce and General Scott, undertook to show the American people the danger to their republican form of government, in se? lecting a military chieftain for their President. He exclaimed, "Thank Heavonl We have not yet reached that point in the decline of our Government, when it is neoessary to elect a military man to administer the Executive De? partment of the Government." In the next sentence, be says: "Most republics have bad that experience where they had traveled far down tho road to de? struction, and when the time arrives for us to elect military chieftains to dis? cbarge the functions of civil officers, then farewell, a long farewell, to all our greatness." Ho then prophetically tells the people: "Tho second election will be made by the army, and the appointee will bea dictator!" Not satisfied with this propheoy, be wisely and most truth? fully says: "In this country, civil quali? fications are alone required, and bow evor bright a balo of glory may encircle the wreathed brow of the military officer, if be is deficient in a knowledge of civil policy, and is destitute of states? manship, be is not worthy to mle tho people of tbe United States, and ought not to be trusted with the delicate duties devolvod on our chief magistrates, grow? ing out of our foreign and domestic relations. " These are the words of sober truth and wisdom; and never was their application more opportune than they are at present. No friend of General Grant will pretend to say that he is not "deficient in a knowledge of civil policy, and is destitute of statesmanship." AN Arr ANSWER.-An anxious parent, signing himself "R. H.," writes the Cape May Wave, asking wbetbor tbero is no way of "saving our daughters from insult by tbe male scamps who infest tho walks after ll o'clock at night," and stat? ing that on three successive ocoasions his daughters, walking out alone, have boen insulted." The Wave very aptly answers: "Yes, there is a way; put your daughters to bed at a reasonable hour!" "Cbappaqua Cabins" is the popular name of the buildings extemporized for political meetings, formerly called "log cabins," "wigwams," etu. Tho latest quotations from the water? ing places state that eligible young men are at a premium. THE MOST TEURIBLB DEATH os RECOUD. A young man named Edward Oloutier, engaged in varnishing ?urniture on tbe tbird floor of No. 34 Atwuter Btreet, met witb a horrible deatb. Tbe young mun bas bad a great passion for gymnastic*, expecting to attach himself to a circus ai soon us be became proficient. While working around the building bu has used all his spare moments in swinging from beams, turning hand springs, and performing other feats culling for sup? pleness aud activity. He was soon cling? ing to thu mai:, shale of the 200-boise p.iwer engine a few days ago, and was warned by bis employer never to at? tempt the feat again. This shaft mus along within thirty inches of tbe floor, and makes about 150 revolutions per minute. lu tho morning, yesterday, utter finishing up a table, Clontier went to tho North end of tho building aud prepared himself to perform some feat which bo bad studied up. Taking the tackle rope, whiob is used to hoist arti? cles from the alley below, be passed the free end over the shaft. Thin much was ascertained after bis de.ith, but bis fur? ther proceedings will never bu known. A boy was workiug forty feet away, and vras first alarmed by hearing Cloutier call out, "Stop the engine-quickl" Running around, the boy saw that be was caught iu thu folds of the rope aud wound over the shaft.. The boy ran, as did others, but it was two or three mi? nutes before the engine could be stopped, and then the victim was past help. As soon as the rope lashed bim to the shaft the young man bad to turu with it. One of bis arms was caught round the abaft, so that it-drew his face and shoulder close down, but left bis limbs free to pound on the floor. The noise of his feet striking Ibe boards was heard half a block away above the bum of the ma? chinery. His boot heels toro a strip oil one of the boards, and were then flung from bis feet clear ?cross the room. His bat went the other way, and his pants were stripped off and thrown fifteen feet away. After the boots flew off, the young man's bare feet whipped tho floor L'00 or 400 times. The feet were mashed up to the ankles, so that they spread out like brooms, and looked like pieces of bloody beef. Tbe bones of the ankles struck the floor until dents half an inch deep were made in tbe boards. After the tackle ropo bad been wound up its full length, it had to snap; but tins did not let the victim loose. After the eu? gine stopped, Cloutier had to be cut loose from the shaft. He gave a gasp as they released bim, but died as they laid bim down. One of his arms waa broken half a dozen times, and, indeed, there was hardly a whole bone in his body; his legs were mere pipes, his breust crushed in, his ribs broken, fin? gers broken, back and neck broken, and a worse sight never was seen. The floor was covered with blood and flesh, and the strongest men shuddered as they looked. A. jury was empaneled, and a verdict rendered on the spot. Tbe ver diot was to the effect that the deceased came to his deatb while trying an expe? riment with a rope around a shaft mak? ing 135 revolutions per minute. The verdict was tbus worded to make plainer the fact that the young man's reckless? ness brought about tbe accident. \ Detroit Free Press, 2G/A ult. LYNCHING IN KANSAS.-The Kansas City Bulletin of the 27th ult., says: "Jae. Sharpe, who murdered John Erskine, near Warrenaburg, was taken from tbe jail by a mob on Thursday about mid? night and hanged. The mob was about 300 strong, and went at their work un? disguised. Tho sheriff attempted to re? sist, but the men told him that they re? spected bim and bis motive, but Sharpe must die. They accordingly made a breach in the walls, battered down the door of the cell, and took Sharpe out to a tree about a mile and a half from old Warrensburg. After the rope had been adjusted, Sharpe waa asked if be had anything to say, and replied by confess? ing to the murder of Erskine, and deny? ing the killing of Gallagher, whoso death he was accused of causing. In answer to a question be answered that he was ready to die. The rope was then hauled over tho limb of a tree, and in a few minutes ho was elead. He died game. Many of the most respectable men in Warrensburg were in tbe affair. The work was doue quietly, and tbe mob dis? persed to their bornes after it was all over. The body was given to his family." TEIIRIFIC THUNDEB STOIUI-FATAL RE? SULT.-On Thursday night, the 1st of August, the house of Mr. J. T. Rogers, a few miles below Society Hill, was struck by lightning and considerably shivered. Providentially, it was just then nnoooupied, the two brothers hav? ing left in the afternoon, to spend the night with their elder brother at the house of his father-in-law. It is believed they would certainly have been killed had they been in the house. The kitchen was also struck. In the absence of the occupants of tbe house, Mr. Bachelor, his wife, and a married daughter, who was on a visit to her parents, who are laborers on tba place, were temporarily lodging in the kitchen to protect the place. Tbe daughter was killed, the mother so seriously injured that her re? covery is doubtful; the father escaped with a severe shock. A colored man, not far off, wbose cabin was in the track of the storm, gavo his impression of its terrific character by saying he thought judgment bad como. [Burlington Southerner. DEATH OF COL.
