COLUMBIA, S. C. Sun lay framer, September 1,1872. For President of (he Untied Stales. HORACE: ORBELET, of Nt tv York. For vice-President B. O RATZ BilOWN, or lUlsxoun. I Shall Wo Do Nothing* f Nearly every State in the Uniou has her Presidential electors in the field, and the rest have their local clubs aud organi? zations formed and a time fixed for the assembling of a State convention at an early day. South Carolina, we believe, - is absolutely the only State in the Union where no steps have beeu taken by tho people to inaugurate a campaign in favor of the Liberal Republican and Demo? cratic nominees, Greeley and Brown. Our white people are unanimously in their fuvor. This is evident. Then, why our strange supineness? Ono rea? son, undoubtedly, is that we BOO no pros? pect at present of carrying the State. The negroes aro the slaves of their poli? tical leaders, and their leaders are the tools of Grant. Surely, though, it is not the despair of sucoees alone which oauses the apathy of the white oitizens of South Carolina. We are not less . courageous nor more deaf to the call of duty than are the people of Massachu? setts. South Carolinians will never ad? mit or believe that, and yet we find the Detnoorats and Liberal Republicans of Massachusetts entering earnestly into the canvass, although the majority for .Grant there, in 1868, was three times -'thut of South Carolina. ?Phoy have as little hope of oarrying their State ja this election for Greeley and Brown as we have for carrying our own. We cannot believe, therefore, that despondency alone causes our inaction and our disinclination to act. There are other reasons, the ohief of whioh, in our judgment, is an- unwillingness on the part of the largo majority of the white people of the State to revive the Demo? cratic party. Political parties are the .mero agents or means by whioh people hope to attain certain desirable ends in government. When a party loses its power as an agency of good, it is utterly useless, aud wise men drop it and seek to make other combinations whioh pro? duise more practical reBults. Suoh is the present condition of the Democratic party in South Carolina, or rather the .name of it, for we think it oan scarcely be longer said to exist. It shows no life, nt any rate. We believe it to be a sife political axiom, that the best attainable govern? ment is that ?o whioh sensible and up? right citizens should direot their efforts. Gool government in South Carolina, if it is possible at all as the State is now constituted, must bo looked for in a combination between tho good citizens of the white and the black or colored races. This, we take it, is a self-evident proposition. Where, then, can common ground be found upon whioh both races could and would stand? Not in. Demo? cracy, certainly. The Democratic party hai> opposod, stop by stop, the freedom - - and the further political and civil equal? ity of the negro. The reasons of this opposition, however just and logical, . amount to uotbing when addressed to thu negroes. They see nothing bat an enemy iu Domooruoy, and so seeing, it ii very natural that they should studious? ly avoid it. Oo the other hand, thu white people eee nothing but au enemy iu Grant, an incompetent, tyrannical, avaricious, self seeking ruler, dangerous to the liberties of the republic and damnably expensive withal. They cannot, therefore, com? bine with thu colored people in a com? mon support of Grant. Nor are they willing-and God grant they may never be-to ally themselves with any party whioh has for its leaders a lot of thieves and dissolute characters. No man oi proper self-respeot and regard for a good name will contaminate himself with snob association. Where, then, can we turn: The answer is evident-to that party whese principles both blaok and white ?an endorse, and of whoso distinguished leaders the most virtuous need not be ashamed-the Liberal Republican party, whioh was organized at Cincinnati. We are not sanguino that the oolored people will come over in any noticeable num? bers to the Liberal Republican party in this Presidential campaign. Bat we do holievo that it will eventually be (he party of the State, and the instrument by which carpot-bog mis-rale is to be remedied. We disfavored any demonstration whatever on the part of tho white peo? ple outil the Radical Convention had met and split, as we hoped and believed it would do. There is now no longer any reason why we should longer remain idle in the Presidential canvass, and ic th? organization of that party by which only we oan hope to rescue our State -from the olutohes of the "stranger and spoiler.'* Our cotemporary, the Charles? ton Hews, need entertain no fears that we have dosigus upon ."local reform." We havo much greater hopo of improve? ment froth, the split in the Republican ranks than even our apprehensive neigh? bor, for where his dainty palate distin? guishes only between "bilod orow and buzzard" in the tickets that .bsse been presented, we are comforted in the belief Ithat yq6 ha]?e ?a,choice of hon eat man and thiaX . The ?Ui ci lon in Alaine. The first State election of any impor? tance UH indicating the probable result of tho Presidential race takes place in Maine, on the 9th instant-to-morrow week. The Administration party is pat? ting forth every ezertiou to Bustain itself. Scores of tho ablest Radical speakers havo been canvassing the State, and money, it is charged, is being used in abundance, as waB done iu North Carolina. The Liberals and Democrats, too, have not been idle, aud have been pushing the canvass vigorously. Trum? bull, Banks and other prominent Libe? ral Republicans are stumping the State, and the numbers who attend and the genuino enthusiasm which pervades their meetings, shows that the desire for reconciliation and reform has reaohed even bleak and distant Maine. We do not enpposo that there is scaroely a ohanoe that the State can be rescued en-? tirely from the Grantites. The wonder is that they show so muoh uneasiness about it, when we remember that the Radicals carried it in 1668 by a sweep? ing majority of 20,000. The most, we presume, that the Liberal ?j Republicans and Dem?crata can hope' for in Maine is a reduotion in the Radioal majorities. If a great advance can be made in such a Radical stronghold, it is ? reasonable to hold that the doubtful States, which will decide the election, will oaat their vote for Greeley and Brown. It is thin which makes tho eleotion in Maine inte? resting. JUST THE DIFFERENCE.-Virginia, under" Democratic rule,,bas established over 700.schools for the colored man; while South Carolina, under Radical rule, bas not only done nothing for them, but nthe- Radical- State;- Govern? ment haB stolen all tho school money andi broken down the negro sch o ol H already established. The two State Go? vernments fairly illustrate tho policy and practice between the two parties. , m* i---.'. QAs BLACK AS THE AUDIENCE.-A Beau? fort County (South Carolina) scalawag, in addressing a orowd of negroes a few days since, remarked, "My friends and fellow-citizous, my skin is white, but my heart is as blaok as this audience!" The intelligent orator probably meant that his eympathies were with the blacks, but he couldn't have told the truth b etter than he did. Murder will out. THE HERALD'S TROUBLES WITH STAN? LEY.-The New York Herald thought it had silenced all the doubters wheu .it. printed n jhtbogruphed^ac-simiJe of what was said' to be Dr. Livingstone's lotter to Mr. Bennett; but unfortunately this was the unluckiest thiug it could have done. Por now comet? tho! Sun, and Bide by side with tho Herald's copy, places a fae simile of one of Stanley's letters, und, behpldI tho penmanship of, the two is very similar; not exactly so, bot suffi? ciently alike to lead to tbe supposition that tho same band held tbe pen that traced both letters. A correspondent of the World gives color to the suspicion by notiug that in the letter purporting to be from Livingstone, the address is James Gordon Bennett, Esq., Jr., and recalling that ut the time of the date of the letter, it could not have been known in Africa that the elder Mr. Bennett was dead, deduces the cooolusion that the i "Jr." was written after Stanley had re? turned to civilization. This would be an argument in favor of the letter, were it j not that the "Jr." is in the same hand I writing as the body of the document, and whoever wrote that word wrote, or oould have written, the whole letter. It was physically impossible that Dr. Li? vingstone oould have added that word after Mr. Bennett's death; and altogether it seems that tho doubters havo tho best of the argument so far. AN OBJECT OF CHARITY.-SomeJ time daring Thursday night, a white female infant, large, healthy and neatly dressed, was left in a basket on the gate step of the Convent of the Sisters of Meroy, in Queen street. Near morning a passing policeman, attracted by its cries, carried it to the main guard house, where its bright eyes and dimpled oheeks excited the admiration of the brawny clubs and stars. Attached to its dress was a note, giving at its name "Imoline Hope," and requesting tho Sisters to caro for it, as? suring them that it will be reclaimed at some fntnre day. Yesterday morning the Mayor notified the Sistorn of the circumstance, and two of them went down to the gaard house immediately and took charge of their unsolicited ward.-Charleston Netos. P. T. Barnum has purchased Lout's circus building, in Fourteenth street, N. Y., and will immediately enlarge and im? prove it, and open it early in November with his museum, menagerio and eirena.

This, we believe, is what the Administration styles a great moral victory. It is worthy of remark that Blanton Duncan has ohosen the same day for holding his convention that had been previously fixed for tbe opening of the Louisville Industrial Exposition. This was evidently for the purpose of claim? ing that tho crowd attracted to tbe city by the exhibition had come to Bee his show. .'I have been in Wushington for five years past, and I know that this Admi? nistration is the most corrupt ono this country ever had," soys Governor Blair, Republican authority.

Thousands of Democrats and Liberal Republicans are, it ?B said, being arrest? ed hythe Federal office-holders in Texas, on trivial charges, aud thou roleased, aftor being bound to appear ou the 4th November at distant places for trial. - Rev. Dr. Roy, a colored preacher of New York, str?fek a stratum pf common sense when,'in a recent speech support? ing tbe Cincinnati plul form,' be declared that "why I go for Horneo Greeley is that ho bas always gone for mo-for my raoo. He hus always advocated freedom and equality. That is why I am for him." Mr. Sumner has urged tbis point in language more elaborate and classical; but there is a sturdy' honesty, not to speak of an invincible logic, in what we have quoted, which is quite as forcible. ?-?-??-> STATE OP SOUTH CAROLINA, HEADQ'S NAT'L COM, LIB'IJ REP'NS, COLUMBIA, S.

On Saturday, with the assistance of his brother, he proceed? ed to that daty, when a very offensive odor was observed issuing from tho bot? tom of the well. Ho came out, and col? lecting a quantity of pine straw, .threw in tho well and set it on fire, hoping to destroy the disagreeable smell; and on the following Tuesday re-entered, for the purpose of examining what progress he oould make? bnt found, after proceed? ing bat a short distance, that it was very difficult for him to breathe freely. He immediately came out, but in a short time entered again, and prooeodod bat a short distance, when he fell a lifeless corpse. Mr. Beck's father and several others, soon arrived, when one of the party persisted in going down for the dead man, but was prevented by the others, and the unfortunate mau was taken out by ropes.

From Yorkville, comes one of the sad? dest stories of the small-pox we have yet boen called upon to record. About two weeks since, this dreadful disease got into a family named Koch, consisting of father, mother and five children. On last Wednesday, the first child died, on Thursday a second, on Friday a third, and on Saturday a fourth. The mother and fifth child are now confined to their beds with the disenso, with tho chances against them. The father has thus far esoaped. Not one of the family woe vaccinated, and the father is said to be opposed to the oporation. [Pottsville (Pa.) Miners' Journal, 26fA. o ? ? ?

Of tho above .93 plantations, 75 lost all their crop, stock and fixtures; while only 18 succeeded in saving a small portion. A PLUCRY WOMAN.-Mademoiselle Celeste, the tight-rope artist, had her leg broken by the rope giving way during one of her performances at Shawnee town, Ky.

She in now on hor way homo, iu Rome, N. Y., to have the family physician break that limb again and reset it. This woman shows more grit than most of her sex. PURTFXTKO THE JUDICIARY.-In St. Louis, a movement is on foot tn induce two of the best lawyers of that city, one a Democrat, the other a Republican, to beoome candidates Xor the two Circuit Judgeships, thus forestalling tho action of tbe different party conventions, and in? suring ability and integrity on the iuforior bench.

But let all who are thus situated take heart. A balm is provided both for their physical and mental in? firmities in Ho8tetter's Stomach Bitters. Among the commonest sources of pain, uneasiness and melancholy are the dis? eases which affect the stomooh, the liver, the alimentary canal, the nerves and the muscles, euch as dyspepsia, bilious dis? orders, constipation, headache, hysteria, and rheumatism, uU of which yield readily to the regulating, invigorating and purifying influence of this peerless Vegetable tonio, stimulant aud restora? tive.

GUARD THE WEAK SPOT.-All men, however strong, have a weak spot, like the rhinoceros, whioh, though plated like a monitor, is vulnerable to a spear thrust below the places. Satan is not such a fool as to attack the strong de? fences;' be would be sure to thrust at the vulnerable points. Some, indeed, think they have no weak place; and such peo? ple are right, foe.they are weak all over, and no part, therefore, could be called weak in particular. The polar bear has a weakness, whioh is for blubber, and his hunters knowing this, coil a piece of whale bone like a watch spring, wrap it in blubber and freeze it. They then drop the tempting morsel in the way of a bear, who swallows greedily; but as soon as the blubber, melts in his sto? mach, the whalebone springs ont. The near then rolls over in agony, aud they come up and kill him. Thus it is when men yield to an easy sin, it will cut them asunder.-Dr. H. M. Scudder.
