COLUMBIA. S. C. Saturday Morning, September 7,1872, For President of the United States. HORACE ORBBLBT. or New York. For Vice-President B. GRATZ BROWN, of Minoan. Tnt Two Ticket?. The white people of the State are very generally agreed to pat no candidates in tue field for State offices. The Conserva? tive preiiB of the State, which we pre? sume is quite a safe iudex of the public sentiment in this regard, is unanimous ia the opiuion that there should be no Conservative opposition. Oar concur? rence in this view has been on file for several months. Inasmuch, however, as we decline, from prudential reasons, to have candidates of oar own choosing, it is eminently proper that we weigh well the respective merits and demerits of the two Radical tickets, to which we are to be ooniined in our choice. Some of oar contemporaries seem to see very little difference between the two. The ex? pressive terms "biled crow and buz? zard," "black dog and monkey," &c, are need to oonvey their estimation of the comparative characters of Tomlinson and Moses, We have taken, and still take, a far more comfortable, and, as we think, a far more correct view of the case. If Tomlinson is no better than Moses, then there is no choice even of evils left ns, and no hope of reform, however the election may result. People who think that way, who seo only "biled arow and buzzard" offered np before them, should, to be consistent, mokoan effort to seonre some third and more palatable dish. We throw ont this Saggestion particularly for tho consideration of our contempo? rary, the Charleston News, which pro? fesses to have looal reform so mnoh at heart that it fell into the liveliest appre? hensions, a few days ago, lest the "dan? gerous load of the PHOXIX" might deprive the good people of the State of the charming prospect held forth to them of a choice between "biled crow and buzzard." Now, we have to say to our friend of the News, if we thought as he professes to think, we would not hesi? tate to advooate just what he seems so much to dread, and which is to nomi? nate another set of candidates, against whom no suspicion could be entertained. We would not, at any rate, as the News is certainly doing, bolster up the odious and corrupt Moses, by berating tbe better Tomlinson. If they are both thieves, both bribe-takers and steeped in venality, we would all be aoting the part of poltroons and faithless citizens of the State to tamely submit to the election of either one as Governor of South Caro? lina. But we do not, we are glad to say, think as the News does. Reuben Tom? linson, until bis nomination by the Bolters' Convention, was the boast of the Republican party, on account of his integrity. He was pointed to by the Radicals as a living refutation of the charge that the carpet baggers were all thieves and sooundrels. His integrity was unquestioned by the Conservatives, even in the bitter campaign of 4870, when they said everything bad whioh they knew or had reason to suspect of their political antagonists. Ho was, in? deed, a sort of ounosity among carpet? baggi rs, because he wouldn't steal, or, ut least, had tbut r?putation. Everybody believed he was' honest, and very reasonably, too, for it is hardly within the bounds of possibility that the other guilty officials would have allowed him to remain as a standing reproach to them if there had been any truthful I grounds of suspicion. Now, because he heads an opposing political faction, the "regalar rognes" turn and attempt to blacken the only white spot left on their dirty record, that declaring that there was no honest carpet-bagger, for even Tomlinson is a thief. Now, if Tomlin? son is corrupt, they have been lying to ns all along, and withont any apprecia? ble motive. The chances are as a thou? sand to one that they are lying now, when they have every inducement to rob him of his good name. We are sorry to tee that the Moseyites ' have induced Judge Melton to do their dirty work for them, bf besliming Tom? linson. He says he can prove that Tom? linson gave his personal pledge to mem? bers of the General Assembly that the bribes promised them for passing the .phosphate bill should be paid. We have no idea that Jadge Melton made this charge withont believing it to be trae. He onght to be a jadge of the value of evidence, and doubtless wonld be, were ho properly at himself. This he cannot bo, or else he would not now be dangling on to a tioket with Franklin J. Moses at the head. We will not be surprised at any odd pranks he may ont, till he comes to his good senses again. If atty of these charges had been made against Tomlinson, we should bo forced to think there was something in them, and throw him overboard at onoe. But coming at the time and from the source which they do, we take it that nothing short of the naked proof itself will in? fluence any sensible man to believe them. As to Moses, we have nothing more to say. Oar opinion of him has been ex? pressed, from time to time, for the last three years. Oar people know him well enough never to degrade their right of suffrage by exercising it in his behalf. POLITICAL JOTTINGS.-Notwithstanding the faot that the Constitution of the United States contains an expross provi? sion against paying any debt or obliga? tion incurred in aid of insurrection, many Grant organs still affect to believe that Mr. Greeley will "pay off the rebel debt." They are probably af raid he will do so suddenly some night, while every? body is asleep. Boutwell makes the best showing he can in regard to the reduction of the national debt. He is perfectly aware thf.t bis retention in Grant's C: ' .act is dependent upon the ingenuity he dis? plays in "dootorin ?" the public accounts. After the 4th of Mardi next, we shall probably get at a true understanding of our financial condition. The nomination of Gen. Dix by the Republicans of New York has not strengthened their cause. The d?corons old man will not divide the Democratic vote, even if the approaching conven? tion should unfortunately make a weak nomination for Governor, which is not at all probable. Greeley develops new strength every day. We think it is very likely that Greeley and Brown will carry New York by from 75,000 to 100,000 ma? jority. The Louisville Grant adjunct will help Greeley in the Empire State as it will elsewhere. Ever since his father was defeated by Greeley for the Liberal nomination at Cincinnati, Quincy Adams and the whole Adams tribe have been down on the Liberal movement. They now go into the Grant fold through the doors of tho Danoan side show. They leave no gap. The thing hos golton so warm in In? diana that Senator Schulz has to ad? dress his fellow-citizens ut midnight, sunrise or anytime a crowd collects to hear him. -.-??-> - Correiipondenee of (lie Piiociiix. GRRBNVILLB, S. C., Sept. 5, 1872. EDITOR PHOSIX: The Radical cam? paign was commenced to-night on behalf of the bolting wing of that party by an open-nir speech from Judgo Orr. He, in effect, repeated his Fourth of July oration in Greenville in favor of Grant and Wilson, and after preparing his au? dience, launched into State politics; re? viewed tho proceedings of the delectable Radical Convention lately held in Co? lumbia; exposed the tricks of that pa? tron saint ?nd exemplar cf South Caro? lina Radicalism. Ob! Holy M oses I how thy party friends abuse thee! But thou art sharp enough to clean out the Orrs and ull opposition, else you would be unworthy of your lineage. "In this war ! of roses we goes for Moses." In our stupidity we have believed that South Carolina Radicalism, or Republicanism, if yon preter it, was invented or insti? tuted for the personal benefit of some? body or somebody else, or, least-wise, for the exclusive benefit of the lenders of said party, and not for the interest and beno?t of the "dear people." We patiently but vainly listoned to bear Judgo Orr confess his mistake in vehemently urging his fellow-citizens, ?wo years since, to sustain for office the very parties bo now so bitterly de? nounces. Judge John T. Green, of Sumter, took the stund, uud followed Judgo Orr in denunciations of this heaven-born party, that now hus its daws on the vitals of our State. It would striko a hearer as eminently proper that men professing so much honor uud principle should come out from among such a set of rascals as they say they aro associated with, and unite with decent and honest people, and olean out the whole lot. The numbers in attendance were (?mall; enthusiasm "small by degress and beautifully less.'' We aro strongly impressed with tho no? tion thut Moses has the ear and heart of the dear people hereabouts. M. ARMY. WORM.-The army worm in great numbers 'have made their appear? ance in our village, attacking tho gardens and doing considerable damage to vege? tation. These worms, so far, however, seem to confine their ravages to the young turnips and grass. We have heard of some complaint, also, by the farming community of these destructive visitors. We learn they have attacked the cotton fields in one or two sections of the Coun? ty, but so far no damage has been done. [LaurensviUe Herald. No ARMS CALLED FOR.-We are re? quested, by J. S. Mobley, to say tho re? port that he had requested the Governor to Send 400 stand of arma to this Coun? ty, is false.

It is generally supposed that the pu? nishment of being broken on tho wheel went out with tho rack, the thumb-screw and the frightful embrace of the spiked "Maiden." It appears that the punish? ment of the wheel still exists in Servia for murderers, highway robbers and in? cendiaries. An execution by this mode bas juht taken placu there. Two meu, Moses Alexander Wertbstein and Sebas tolus Alexiry, were broken on tho wheel for the murder of a family of a farmer named Detrestisy. The particulars of the execution aro horrible. Wbeu sen? tenced, Alexiry maintained his com? posure, but Wertbstein broke into loud screams and cried for meroy. A large number of peoplo assembled uren nd the scaffold. All the time consumed in the preliminary preparations, Wertbstein continued to Eoreum and beg for mercy. All being ready, tho executioner drew from a greou bug an iron clnb with a knot at tho end. With this he proceeded to crush tho shoulders, the knees and every joint in the body of these crimi? nals. It was, from the accounts given, an exhibition brutal almost beyond con? ception. Quito recently, thcro was some proba? bility of thu sudden stop being put to the conjectures of the press as to the meauing of tho conference about to be hold at Berlin betweon the Emperors of Austria, Russia and Prussia. One of the essential parties, tho Emperor| of Russia, came very near being compelled, by an unavoidable, and yet very custom? ary circumstance in this empire, to be absent. In fact, an attempt was mado to assassinate him on his last journey by car to Lavidia. The Presse of Vienna states that a large stone had been placed upon the track near the station of Mor darowka on the Balta Odessa line. For? tunately, the engineer of the imperial train perceived tho obstruction in timo to check the cars. It was a narrow esoape, and shows that tho enemies of the empire will resort, to the old moans to rid themselves of an obnoxious Empe? ror. Assassination is yet popular, and the present Emperor will have to run the gauntlet as his predecessors did. THURIBLE DEATH OP A CHABIJESTOX LADY.-Mrs. Nathans, formerly Miss Catherine Hort, of Charleston, and a sister-in-law of tho late General Gads? den, met with a terrible death lately. She was returning with her husband from Long Branoh, and when at Jen ey City, finding that they had got into the wrong cars, Mr. Nathans and herself made an attempt to leave while the train was moving. Tho gentleman suoceedod in getting ont, and while attempting to assist Mrs. Nathans, she fell, and before she could be rescued tho train passed over her, killing her almost instantly. Mr. and Mrs. Nathnns wero. au nged oouple and both in bad health. They resided in Philadelphia, and wero muoh esteemed by a large circle of friends, who sympathize deeply with the sur? vivor in this terrible calamity. A SEASON NOT EXACTLY LIKE THE PBS BUST OHE-FIFTY SEVEN YEARS Aoo. Wb.il? every one is speakiog of the pre? ss?t SBS180U as being remarkable in its characteristics, I have gathered for yonr readers some reliable faots of tho year 1816, known as "the year without a som? mer." Few persons now living can re? collect, bnt it was the coldest evor known through Europe and America. The fol? lowing is a brief abstract of tho weather during each month of the year: January was mild, so much so as to ronder tires almost needless iu parlors. December previous was very cold. February was not very cold; with tho exooption of a few days it was mild, like its predecessor. March was cold and boisterous during the first part of it; the remainder was mild. A great freshet on thu Ohio and Kentucky Iii vers caused great loss of pro? perty. April began warm, but grow colder as the month advanced, uud ended with snow and ioe and a temperature more like winter than spring. May was moro remarkable for frowoB than smiles. Buds uud fruits were frozen; icu formed half au inch thick, corn killed, uud tbe tields agaio and agnin replanted until deemed too late. June was the coldest ever known in this latitude. Frost, ice aud snow wero common. Almost every green thing killed. Fruit nearly all destroyed. Snow fell to the depth of ten inches in Ver? mont, several in Maine, three in thu in? terior of New York, and also in Massa? chusetts. Considerable damage was done at New Orleans in consequence of the rapid riso of the river. The suburb.) wore covered with water, and the roads were only passable with boats. July was accompanied by frost and ice. On tho 5th ice was formed of the thickness of u common window glass throughout New England, New York, sud some parts of Pennsylvania. Indian corn was nearly all destroyed; some fa? vorably situated tields escaped. This was true of some of the hill farms of Massachusetts. August was more cheerless, if possible, than tbe summer mouths already passed. Ice was formed half un inch thick. 1 li? dian com was so frozen that the great part was cut down and dried for fodder. Almost every green thing was destroyed, both iu tbis country und in Europe. Pupers received from England state "that it would be rememberod by the preaeut generation that tho y cir 1816 was a year in which there was uo sum? mer." Very little corn ripenud iu the New Englaud and Middle States. Far? mers supplied themselves from tbe cora produced in 1815 for tho seed of tho spring of 1817. It sold at from four to five dollars per bushel. September furnished about two weeks of tlu: ' mildest weather of tho seasou. Soon after the middlo, it became very cold end frosty; icu formed a quarter of un inch thick. October produced moro than its share of cold weather; frost and icu in common. November was cold uud blustering. Snow fell so as to make good sleighing. December was mild and comfortable. The above is a brief summary of "the cold bummer of 1316," ns it was called, in order to distinguish it from tho cold season. The wiuter was mild. Frost and ice wero common in every month of the year. Very little vegetation ma? tured in the Eastern and Middle States. Tho sun's rayn seemed to bo destitute of heat throughout the summer; ull na? ture was clad iu u sable hue, and men exhibited no little anxiety coucoruing the future of this life. The average wholesale price of flour during that year, in the Philadelphia market, was thirteen dollar.; per barrel. The average price of wheat iu England was niuety-thrco shillings per quarter. [Boston Globe. -.> . ?- -? Brigandage in Italy has not yet, in spite of tho exertions of thu authorities, been suppressed. It is not a pleasant life, that of an Italian brigand. The romance of it lins long ugo becu proved a myth. Fra Diavola makes his appear? ance only in tho picturesque attire and studied ut ti tuiles of Castle or Iiableman. Thc real brigand is a brutal, ignorant, stolid niarderer-cuting course food, -Jeeping on tho ground in ull weathers, chased from place to place, with no rest, wretched, ragged, and probably rheu? matic. If it was not for his crimes, ho would be a pitiable object. Be certainly can lay no claim to bo a hero. Gene? rally ho is content with sharing the fru? gal meal of some frightened peasant, and stealing small sums from native tra? velers. Occasionally, however, larger prey is captured. Tho brigand Marizi, of tho province of Salerno, has just seized a Signor Marcusi, and refuses 100,060 francs runsom for bim. The Government has offered a reward of $10,000 for the capture of Manzi, dead or alive. Another brigand in the moun? tains of the Basilicata has recently re? leased another captive for tho ransom of $3,000. It appears strange that such a state of affairs should continue to exist in the midst of oivilized Europe. DEATHS.-Mr. Reuben Ly les died at his residence, in tbis County, a few days since, of congestive chills. Mr. Lyles was a man highly respected in the com? munity where he resided, and his loss will bu felt and deplored by bis friends and neighbors. He was one of the few surviving members of the Palmetto Re? giment, that fought so gallantly during the war with Mexioo. Miss Sallie Smith, residing a short dis? tance from this place, died a few days ago, aged near seventy years. Sba was a lady who, though living in seclusion tho latter portion of her life, was highly esteemed by the few friends with whom she associated.-Laurensville Herald. It is reported from London that Daw? son, the geographer and traveler, who bas returned from Zanzibar, reports that ho has boen in communication with Dr. Livingstone. OHIO SHAKEN TO ITS GOBE-A HIGH TONED WHITE GIRL ELOPES WITH A NE ORO.-Tho Columbus (Ohio) Dispatch s?yt: That portion of this world's eooioty living in this County, and in the imme? diate vicinity of Dublin, has been shaken to its foundation, and the vibration has not yet ceased. The cause of this re? markable condition of things is tbe elopement of Miss Mary Evorett, a mem? ber of one of the oldest and most re? spectably connected families in tbe County, with Frank Thompson, one of i the most ill-shapen negroes in the coun? try. Tbe blow is a very painful one to the family and relatives, and everything pos? sible is being done to save the infatuated girl from a life of misery and degrada? tion. Detectives are on tbeir track, aud thoy will be bunted to the death. Frank Thompson, who has induced the young lady to share his fortunes, is a blinky eyed, ronod-sbouldered negro, with a nureiy African countenance. He has been working on the Everett farm for about three years, and has aonducted himself, generally speaking, in a manner iu consonance with the position cf ii hired man. No oue ever entertained a thought, or even a shadow of suspicion, tbut there existed between tho negro and tho girl any state of feeling calculated to lend to the present unfortunate state of affairs. Tho Everett family is connected by marriuge with tome of our prominent citizens, and the mortification is keenly felt. Miss Mary Everett is a young lady of about nineteen years of age, and, al? though not pronounced handsome, was endowed with certain qualities popular to her sex that endeared her in the hearts of all who know her. How she ever became infatuated with or was brought about to leave home, frieuds and society for Thompson, is one j of those inexplicable circumstances that bus bothered the wisest heads since the world began. The father nf the girl died last year, and the property has just been divided, M?SH Mary's share amount? ing to fifty or sixty acres of good land, which, if in the market, would bring a very good price. The runaways, last Friday, made ap? plication to Judge Pugh, of the Probate Court, for a liceuse to marry, but it was refused. Since that time, tbeir where? abouts is unknown. The unfortunate [ girl was the only unmarried daughter, aud thu step she has taken has cast upon ber people a disgrace of the most pain ! ful character. CAPERS OP LIGHTNING.-The lightning cuts up some queer capers sometimes, mid u narrow escape from death is told by one of the Connecticut papers. "The electric fluid entered at the window of a room in the second story, where u boy lay in bed, but not asleep. It leaped across tho room to tho wall, crossing the tied where tbe boy lay, and tore both tho sheets ou the bcd into fragments, scorching one badly, but leaviug the boy unharmed. It ripped laths and plaster? ing from tho wall, and scattered them all over tho room. Then it descended to tho lower floor, and into a closet, smash? ing a largo quantity of crockery. It hurled two lamps from a mantel-piece in the kitchen across the room, overturned and smashed a clock on the other side of tho chimney, and then separated into three bolts, two of wbioh went down through a brick hearth into the cellar, whiie a third went out at the Bide of the house, rippiug the boards in pieces. The boy, wild with fear, caine running dowu Btairs, entirely naked, and don't recoil.u:t whether he took off his night? shirt himself, or whether the lightning took it oil for him. He was unharmed, not even stunned. He said that he lay 'cuddled' down into the bed, (a large feather bed,) with the clothes drawn up over his head, so that he contd not seo the lightning, and that there was a noise us if some ouo had fired a oannon in his ears; that there was barning heat and a general tumbliug-up of everything, and that bo thought ho had stayed there about long enough, and so went down stairs." A correspondent writing of Charles O'Conor, says: "In stature Mr. O'Conor is rather tall and of rather a slender build. He dresses plainly, und this adds to his plebinn aspect. His countenance is decidedly Irish, and is of that medium .stamp that is found between the gentry and kern of that island. Ho might rea? sonably be taken for a successful grocer or a thrifty dry goods merchant, or even for a second rate physician. There is something in that plain countenance, with its dry, hard lines of thought, that tells of labor; but the latter does not suggest literary culture. There is an ab? sence of all graoe or general attraction, but we seo nerve and calm decision there, ; and a hidden power is also suggested that makes one stand in awe. From bis personal appearance, I should say that Mr. O'Conor would have made a good military commander, also an executive officer of great success. He would make a good Prosident were it not for his pre? judices, wbioh are invincible. Mr. O'Conor has had a variety of important cases, one of whioh was the famous Forrest divorce suit, whioh was in his hands in its various stages for fourteen years. He has now retired from busi noBS, but will finish all his old business; and hence ho continues the famous Jamel will oase, which has bean sevon years be? fore the various courts." THE FIRE AT WALKER, EVANS & COGS? WELL'S.-We regret to learn that the fire at the extensive printing and publication establishment of the above enterprising and energetic firm will not fall short of $10,000, and may reach $15,000. The damage to the building will not exoeed $1,000 probably, bnt it is in the stook, wet to check the progress of the fire, tbe heaviest losses have occurred. [Charleston Courier. Why would Grant make a good rail? road oondactor? Because ho never misses any of his connexions. It o o a 1 Ito Cm MATTERS.-Tbe price of single oopies of the PHCKNIX is five cents. Rev. J. L. Reynolds, D.D., having returned, religious services may be ex peoted in the Baptist church to-morrow. We have received from Messrs. E. W. Harrison & Co., 41 and 43 Warren street, New York, a specimen of tbeir "Old White Hat" badge. It is particularly neat, and is recommended by the Na? tional Liberal Republican and Demo? cratic Committees. Go-ahead ogentB oould do well by selling these badges. Yesterday we had another installment of tbe "heated term." The Congaree River is lower at the present time than it has been for many yeurB. It is possible to walk across on the stones and sand bars.

THE NEW BRIDGE.-Mr. Mercer, tLe< superintendent of Dr. Neagle's bridge over the Congaree River, is pushing his work along-nearly two-thirds of the structure baing np. As the 15th is the day, according to the contract, when the job is to be completed, it is absolutely necessary to "rush." The bridge will be a substantial structure-built on a plan somewhat novel, at least for this part of the world. PHCENIXIANA.-The easiest of all work i is the making of other people uncom? fortable. You can realize more from smaller investments in that line than in any other. A correspondent says that the Swiss Einsedelu lives by its religion. A good deal of the religion now-adays is better to live than to die by. We hear a great deal about labor re? form, but there seems to be a greater need of reforming some of those fellows who don't labor. A man that marries a widow is bound to give up smoking and chewing. If sho gives up her weeds for him, he should give up his weed for her. Mr. Jones being asked by Mrs. Jones to bay a thermometer, said he would wait until they were lower. A Mrs. Klock is tho candidate for a school superintendency in Kansas. If she keeps going and don't strike, she'll do. Young ladies' conundrum-What two noblemen are mentioned in the New I Testament?

The persons who live on the failings of their neighbors will never die of starva? tion. Impolite-for persons to whisper and write cotes in company. SEPTEMBER.-The month of Septem? ber was dedicated by the Romans to Vul I can. Now, one of the names of Vulcan was Malciber, from Mulceo, to delight, to soften, enervate, &c. "Volupiaa ani tnum mulcet," says Ovid-luxury softens or enervates the mind. The wife of Vul oan was Venus, who rules over the sign of Libra, which the sun passes through this month. The name of Mulciber, ap? plied to Vulcan, and the oharacter of the sign, which, aocording to astrology, causes a mild, quiet, even turn of mind but voluptuous, tend to ehow the origi? nal allusion to the power of Venus, the Goddess of Luxury, over the sun while in this sign. Ono of the feasts held in this month was jointly sacred to Venns and Saturn; now tho astrologers teach that Libra is the house of Venus and the exaltation of Satnrn. This feast, there? fore, alluded originally to tho power of these two planets in that sign.
