COLUMBIA, S. C. , Beptember J0,1872. For President of the United States, HORACE (ittEKLET. of N?w York. For vice-President 93, OH ATZ BROWN, of Mie.ouri. Th? Pcnniylvanlii Outlook. "We indulged in some speculations, a short time since, in reference to the Presidential - contest in Pennsylvania. The forces brought iuto tho canvass there are perhups more distinctive and marked by stronger contrasts than in any other State of the Union. Bucka? low, tho Domooratio candidato for Go? vernor, is distinguished for honorable character and high culture, and com? mands the admiration and regard of the . entire State, for his abilities, experience .and exoollence of personal character. Hartranft, at present Auditor of the State, and "ring" candidate for Govern? or, is a pupil of Simon Cameron, and the antipode of Buckalow, being defi? cient in all that constitutes publia and . private worth, and endowed only with -those talents which fit him for dirty ^work. The evil genius of Cameron, ?bent upon intrigue and corruption, has \found a congenial field of operations in a State distinguished for its great iron, coal and oil interests, and its railroad ?nd banking corporations. With suoh lieutenants as Hartranft, Allen and Kem ble, the man who so well understood the virtues of addition, division and silence, and operating upon a legislative assem? bly open to bribery, and a ready instru? ment in the hands of a bold and skillful manipulator for corrupt schemes and ?peculations, it is not surprising that Cameron hos attained so high a distinc? tion in villainy, and stands admitted to be the greatest oorrnptionist in America. Hartranft is a worthy scholar of this il? lustrious master, and understands the art of speculating with the State funde tn South Carolina bonds os well as Par? ker, Scott and Kimpton. His nomina? tion was stoutly opposed by the decent and honest Republicans, but it suited Cameron to carry it through. Upon hie 1 " ?necees will bingo many consequences, ?ll of use and advantage to Cameron, whose dynasty would thus be extended for another term of years. The old sin? ner would, in that case, be re-elected to the United States Senate, and hold the Legislature in his hands os usual. As the deoisive day-October 10 drawn nigher, the activity of both sidei is augmented, and all of Cameron's stra tegy is required to counteract the current which sets against him and his candi date-especially in the rural Districts, It is ? significant circumstance that thc VoUcsfreund, the leading weekly Repub lioau journal of the State, published al Lancaster, has just hauled down thc names of Hartranft and Allen, openly alleging that in obedience to the impera tive demands of its readers, it cannot any longer advocate candidates so notoriously corrupt. Democratic and ^Liberal Re publican organization is everywhere being perfeotod, and vigilance commit tees are getting ready for the contem plated frauds of the Hartranft crowd oz the day of olectiou, and for the repeater who have been ordered and are to b< brought into the State from New York The Grantites expect to or?ate a sensa tion by means of the soldiers' conven tion which meets at Pittsburg this week Custom House employees are to figun on the occasion ns "veterans," and al the prejudices of the blue as against th? gray are to be evoked aud utilized ii favor of the Administration candidate But it looks as if even salt could not savi him. Ex Gov. Andrew G. Curtin has steadi ly resisted the flatteries and threats o the Ads. in Pennsylvania. An elemen that will operate a3 au important faoto in the result, as it affecte beth State am national elections, and that will effeotu ally spike Cameron's guns, is his nomi nation as delegate at large to the Con fltitutional Convention by the Libera Republican State Committee, and bi certain acceptance of tho truBt. Thi of itself is almost decisive. Governo Curtin is a man of immense popu lari ty, and a tower of strength to an; party. The Pennsylvania Liberals hav issued a stirring address, tho name eignod to which, as admitted by the Phi ladelphia Press, (Forney's,) "ore a ti ?aorkable indication of the great strengt' of the movement agaiuat that portion c the State ticket wbioh has been force opon the Republican party of Peunsyi vania." The Press further saja: "These, the representative men of th list, will show that the Liberal Republi oan party of Pennsylvania is compose of men that we cannot afford to despis or to under-rate, and their presentatio <?f the name of Governor Curtin for th poet of delegato at large to the Constitu tioual Convention must produce a prc found impression upon tho publi mind." The prospect in the Key-stone State thus looks favorablo\or the defeat of Hartranft by Buckalow in Ootobor, to be followed by tho saoeees of Greeley ovar Grant in November. AU eyes will watoh the contest with interest, and hope that Pennsylvania will go right, for it is aa likoly to be trne again, ns it bas been heretofore, that "as goes Pennsylvania, so will go the Union." PoiirnoAij Jornsas.-Thero is abund? ant oonfidenae of deoisive Greeloy vic? tories in the Ootobor eleotionB, for in those States the defeotion bas strength both in prominent and public journals, which is certainly not the case in Maine and Vermont. The Grant men ure try? ing desperately to believe the contest already settled in their favor, but in truth their alarm is as vivid as ever, since their majority hos fallen oil eighty per oent. in North Carolina, twenty per cent, in Maine, and five per cent, in Vermont. If this tendency Bettles tho conflict, it will be Farmer Grant next year, and President Greeley. "Greeley stook is goiug down." Cer? tainly it is. That is but fair and right; for the people bave decided that Grant shall go up-next November. Each day proves this determination more strongly. Hero we have Gen. James D. Morgan, of Illinois, ooming ont strongly for Gree? ley. He commanded the Second Divi? sion, 11th Corps, and, it was considered at the time, saved Sherman's army on an occasion of great emergenoy. He was till recently an ardent supporter of Grant, and bas come ont for Greeley, though long an earnest Republican. Reports from all parts of Pennsylva? nia, Indiana and Ohio, the three de? batable States voting in Ootober, show the greatest activity on the part of the Democrats and Liberals. Ohio bas not, until recently, been regarded as a doubt? ful State. The splendid oanvaBS being made there by Thurman, Sohnrz, Trum? bull and General Wiley, the one-leggod hero, who heads the Democratic State ticket, is having great effect, and tho friends of Greeley and Brown are now very hopeful. LACBA FAIB TO BE ACQUITTED--MONEY NO OBJECT.-A San Francisco despatch, of the 9th, says: Great excitement waB created ia the Fifteenth DiBtriot Oonrt, this evening, by Oantlin, one of the men summoned for a juror in the Fair case, testifying that ho had been approached by John A. Gardiner, formerly constable at the Mission Dolax, who advised him to get on the jary, saying they were bound to clear Mrs. Fair; that money was no object; if he wanted a thousand or more, he could have it. Judge Reador ordered Oardinel to be immediate!" arrested and placed in jail, 11 be brought before him to-morrow, to show can' why ho should not be punished fo" utempt, intimat? ing that his . would be heavy if the or i mo .., proven. The District Attornr .il carry the oase before the grand jury also. Only one juror has yet been obtained. At the present rate of progress, it will take weeks to secure a jury. THE VOTB op OHIO AND INDIANA.-The following calculations have been made of Ohio and Indiana: The largest vote ever oast in the former State is 617,000. In Ootober, 1868, the Democratic candi didate for Secretary of State received 349,682 votes, which, allowing 12,000 for natural increase in four years, would give 261,000 BB the Democratic strength in the present canvass. The lowest esti .nate of the Liberal vote is 20,000, whioh would increase the above in round num? bers to 280,000. This would be a majo? rity of even 550,000, the number of the total vote on whioh the calculations are based. In Indiana, in 1868, Hendricks waa defeated by less than 1,000 votes in a total of 372,000; while in 1870, Eddy, the Democratic candidate for Secretary of State, received 160,059 out of 317,550. The Liberal Republicans of Indiana number, at the smallest computation, 25,000, which is a larger number than is needed by any combination of circum? stances to render the Demoeratio strength greatly in the majority. THE MEETING HEBE.-Melton, Gurney and Kanaier spoke here on Friday night. Melton repeated his slanderous speech against TomlinsoD, and endeavored to defend Moses in the pay certificate busi? ness, by shifting the load npon tho So Dato. Ransier here nndged the speaker, who faltered ont, "I d-d-don't mean to c-charge Ransier with it, b-b-but the Speaker p-pro lem. " Ransier made a speech in his usual style of non-com mitalism. No one oonld tell who he was for except himself. , The orowd was small and rather disposed to pnt embar? rassing questions. A few "strikers" around the stand did the oheering. [Beaufort Republican. A Louis vi liLu DELKOAEK OCT FOB GBBETIBY.-Mr. Samuel Clem, an old citizen of Indiana and a life-long Demo? crat, and one of the two delegates from the Ninth Congressional District of that State to the Louisville Convention, has returned from that city and publishes u card: "I went to Louisville as a delegate, honestly believing that the Convention was called for the futhorance of souud D?mocratie principles. Intercourse with the managers of that affair nt Louisville has sutistied me that it was instituted ?nd managed by mon wholly for selfish purposes, and to sooure tho re-election of General Grant." ABBEVILLE, S. O., Sept H, 1872. EDITOB PHOENIX.: The first regular Ra? dical maas meeting for Abbeville County, einco the meeting of the State Conven? tion? and the nomination of a State ticket, came off at this placo to-day. It was a poor concern and a failure. The attendanoo ' wai very small, aud our j streets presented au every day appear? ance. Whether the meeting was made known throughout the County before? hand, or whether the colored people were directed by a certain well known party clique in these parts to absent themselves, I am unable to say. The meotiug was addressed by only ono speaker of any importance or ability Cardozo. Cardozo made a speech mild in tone and unmarked by uny very strong appeals to the prejudices of his bearers. He was firm for tho nominees of the regular Republican Convention, and ro? bed upon Moses us his own true Moses to lead him and his party through tbc Red Sea. He spoke of Moses as tho best man for Governor-best for the State, tho colored peoplo and the Democrats. Ho extolled the character of the virtu? ous Israelite, and lamonted the abuse which had been laid at Ibo door of .tho gubernatorial candidate. He said that Moses had been accused of dishonesty, but that he was not gnilty of three fourths of the charges brought againet him, and that they had boen brought by men who opposed him on account of a victory won in the Convention over them. He said that no money had been used in the Convention to secure the nomination of Moses; that his nomination was made fairly and squarely. Cardozo paid his respects to tho bolters, and did not think much of Tomlinsou; said that Tomlinson was strangely mixed up with guano bills aad such like, and one could not certainly oall him an honest man. He ventured to speak of himself, and laid the flattering unction to his eonl that he was an honest Republican. Said that he had fought the ring for four years a hard battle, secretly but fear? lessly, and had been tho means of saving the State vast sums of money. He ended by saying that tho Republioan party should stick together-should have nothing to do with tho bolt, and that the whole peoplo should vote for tho regular ticket; a ticket wbioh ho con? sidered made of honest and able men. His speech was attentively listened to. Abbeville will be busy from now to the election with conventions, ticket?, speeches, ?fcc. Tho ii "publican County Convention, for tho nomination of u County ticket, will be held on next Wednesday. RALPH. Editor of the Columbia Phoenix-Sm: In tho Greenville Mountaineer, of last Wednesday, the 11th instant, there is a card announcing to the publio that "in consequence of the prevalence of the yellow fever in Charleston, Hose's Hotel in Colum? bia has been re opened," etc. Allow me, sir, to give, in the columns of your paper, a flat denial to Mr. Rose's state? ment in reference to the yellow fever. Never has the health of Charleston been more satisfactory, as the last report of the Board of Health, lately published, proves. Sueh false statements have the immediate effect to injure the fall business of Charleston, for several coun? try merchants have inquired already if there was really danger for them to go to Charleston. Respectfully, L. DuBOS, from Charleston. COLUMBIA, September 15, 1872. AN EFFECTIVE SPEECH.-A rough looking but well-informed farmer, living in one of tho Northern towns in Wayne County, Now York, was once selected as a party standard-bearer and sent to the Legislature. Hero he determined to make his mark, and, if possible, be? come celebrated in history. In order to do this he must make a speech, so he oolleoted together items of history and science and blended them in harmonious concord. This dono to his satisfaction, ho committed his speech to momory and appeared before the Legislature. Ai he aroso from his seat, another member, not seeing him, commenced talking, where? upon the Speaker of the House said: "The gentleman from Wayno has tho floor." Looking around upon his fellow-legislators, bis courage failed, his tongue refused to do the bidding of his intellect. Finally, he stammered out, "I only got up to spit," and sat down amid a roar of laughter from all who heard it. Tho next morning this able speech was reported in full, and the po? litical farmer was never allowed to forgot this patriotic attempt to enlighten the law makers of tho Empire State. Persons familiar with tho Anderson Branch, Greenville and Columbia Rail? road, will regret to ?earn that Captain Thomas P. Benson hus retired from tho position of oondootor, for the purpose of engaging in other pursuits. Fifteen years ago, Captain Benson was called to fill the position, and with the exception of four years spent in the army of North? ern Virginia, the captain has fully de? voted his time to the interests of the Anderson Branch. His successor is Mr. '?. Douglass Sloan. The Georgeton Times says "that over? tures have boen made by tho Western Union Telegraph Company to oocnect Geotgetown with tho outside world by running a branch from Kingstree to Georgetown. If $5,000 eau bo raised outside of the Company, they will under? take to make that connection and pay for the expense of an operator at Kings tree-the subscribers paying for an ope? rator at Georgetown aud the expense of keeping up tho line, whioh they guaran? tee will not exceod 3100 per mouth. Cn Ea NUT ON TUB CBISIS.-Arno DR the letters read at tho great Liberal mass meeting in New York, on Thnrsdaj evening, was tbo following from the Hon. James Chesnot, of Sooth Carolina: GBNTJJIIJIEN : I have received yo ar in? vitation to attend and address a grand mass meeting to be held in New York, September 12, bf all parties who favor the election of? Horaco Greeley as Presi? dent, and of Gratz Brown as vice-Presi? dent of the United States, and sincerely thank yon for the honor implied. I am heartily in favor of the oleotion of those gentlemen to the offices for which they have been respectively nominated, and regret that the condition of my private affairs absolutely forbids mo from being with you and from personally participat? ing in the pleasures of the occasion to whioh your invitation refers. Tho ques? tion of slavery, ns heretofore presented to tho United Staten, being now and for? ever eliminated from our political issues, thoro is left henceforth no rational ground for division, merely sectional. Tho two great questions we have now to deni with are simplo and fundamental. Tho first is: Shall the Government he Federal, with co ordinate departments, with defined and limited powers, and all restrained by the Constitution; or, shall it continuo as it has been for the last four years, a consolidated despotism, with tho form only, without the reality of the three independent co-ordinate de? partments, aud without limitation or constraiut of Constitution and laws? If the people, in the present contest, shall decide in favor of the first proposition, then I believe, we shall havo m tho futuro a government of economy, of compara? tive purity, of ability, of prosperity, and of respect at home and abroad; in short, of well-ordered civil liberty and national honor effectively maintained. If the latter be tho choice of the people, then the whole country must continue in sub? jection to a government of caprice, cor? ruption, extravagance and oppression, resulting in discontont and oonfusiou nt home, and manifesting imbecility and ! reaping a harvest of oontompt abroad. 1 In short, a tyranny and shabby empire, to end speedily in tho agonizing throes of dissolution-for no empire eau last long over this vast continent, peopled with the Anglo Saxon race. Besides, tho present contest decides, for a time at least, the all-important question of local s*lf-government, without which freedom cannot be securely enjoyed any whore. Involved ia all thoso is tho precious idea of peace, now so essential to the welfare of th? wholo country. Our fellow-citizens of the North have experienced comparative little of tho horrors of war, and have felt nothing of tho ten-fold greater horrors of peace to which the South has been Bubjectnd. Tho Administration for years has mocked the country with tho phrase, "Let us have ponce;" a peace thoagh not Heaven? ly, yet verily one "which passcth all un? derstanding." As Mr. Grocloy is now tho representative man of all contained in tho first proposition, and opposed to all in tho seoond, I will support him to the utmost of my capacity, feeling all the while a cheering and rational hope ot his saocess. JAMES CHESNUT. CAMDEN, S. C., Sept. 7, 1872. THB GAME LAWS TO BB ENTOBCED.-A number of gentlemen held a meeting yesterday in this city, for tho purpose of organizing a club for the protection and cultivation of judicious game laws in South Carolina. Colonel Samnel H. Mortimer was oalled to the ohair. The number of registered members was re? ported as fifty-fire. After an interesting discussion of an hour, the meoting elected tba following officers: Professor F. S. Holmes, President, and James P. LessesDO, E?q , Secretary and Treasurer. It was also resolved that this dub shall be oalled the "Carolina Sportsman's Club;" that an executive council of three experienced sportsmen be appointed by the President, which council shall select five gentlemen as Viae-Presidents, one to represent each of the sea board Connties. The President and council wore also empowered tc appoint tho special und standing committees, which will report at the next meeting of the club. The following are tho special committees to bo appointed: To framo a revisad codo of game laws for South Carolina, to be submitted to tho Legislature at its next session. To restore the old "hunting codo for Carolina aportatuen," to ba used as a guido fur our young men in the field. To frame a constitution and by? laws for this club. Standing commit? tees to be appointod-1st, on hunting and hounds; 2d, on game birds and dogs; 3d, on fish and fishing; -Ith, on yachts and boating; 5th, on huntors, hornes and equipments; Gth, on tho natural history of tho quadrupeds, birds and fish of this State, with a view espe? cially to their food, migratory habits and usefulness. Tho ofiloeis of tho club are to bo ex officio members of tho above named oommittees.-Charleston Courter, The notorious Clnsoret, the ex-dele? gate of war of the Paris Commune, who is now living precariously somewhere in obsourity, bas beeu condemned to death by a court-martial at Versailles for re? fusing to oome forward and answer the charges against him. Cluserot will probably give a wide borth to la belle France hereafter, as he has found it a moro perilons piece of business to burn buildings in Paris than to insult women and destroy property as he did during our civil war in the valley of Virginia. Henceforth, like the sword of Damocles, tho glittering knife of the guillotine will be ever before his eyes, and be must bo wary lest it should some day de? scend apon his neck. [Washington Patriot. - < ? ? ? ? ? DEATH OP BISHOP EASTBUBN.-Tbo Right Rov. Mantua Eastburu, P. E. Bishop of Massachusetts, died at Boston on the 12th instant. Trial Justice H. W. Schroder, of Charleston, has rcsigued his commission. SEBIOUS BOW ON EDISTO ISLAND.-A serions row occurred on Edisto leland, Friday, at the camp-ground, mid-way between what are called the sea-side and borough portion of the island-the voters at the former place supporting Mackey for the shrievalty, and the latter Bowen. It seems from the best data that could be obtained, that there were about 300 persons, mauy of whom were women, assembled to hold a meet? ing in tho interest of Bowen. Hutchin? son, a prominent colored politician who supports him, and who ia a candidato for the Legislature, was called to the chair. Tho nomination of a secretary, made by the chair, was voted down. It is alleged that the chair became angry at the de? cision of tho meeting, and declared that if the nomination was not confirmed, tho mooting should not bo held. Thero was a great deal of excited dis? cussion, which finally resulted in a row. The mooting thou separated into two factions, one for Maokoy and the other for lio wen. Tho fight became general, and lasted some time. There were ten mon wounded witn sticks, bricks, &o., somo seriously, and it is thought some fatally. Hutchinson, the Bowenite Chairman, wan struck in the face with a brick by one of the women present, and his jaw-bouo broken. His sufferings wero so great that he had to be carried to a doctor, who said he was badly hurt. The Mackoyites claim that they suc? ceeded in rooting the Bowenites, who deny the statements, and counter-claim that they simply retired to a better field to continue the meeting, where their orators hele forth from a cart. Daring the fight, which is represented as having been a bloody one, several pistol shots were fired, but luokily no one was injured. The excitement waa intonse, and blows were laid heavy and thick wherever they could be effectually. When dark set in, Hodges, a well known Maokeyite, was set upon by a party of men and beaten so badly that he was left for dead upon the ground. This beating, however, had nothing to do with tho meeting difficulty, but was caused by the belief, on tho part of those who assaulted him, that he had boen too attentive to ono of their females. I Charleston Courier. FBAUD AND CoKBurTioN IN MAINE.-' Advices received at the Democratic head? quarters in Now York fully confirm tho statements as to the means by which tho late result in Maine was brought about. Careful and acenrate judges estimate tho expenditure during the election on tho part of the Gruntitesat between 3300,000 and $300,000. Such prodigal uso of money was never known before in any election. In all tho large towns, SlOO and S150 was the average price for single votes, and on the day of election all the surface and floating voto was bought like beef from the shambles. lu every village and town in the State, there was a Government official, who publicly au- j nounced the price at which he bought j votes. A fow days before tho election, a large number of persons were employed ostensibly to act as special detectives for the prevention of smuggling, and many not susceptible to open purchase were scoured in this way. The appointments were made under a law passed at the last session of Congress, to prevent evasions of the revenue law, and appropriating for that purpose $500,000, under the di? rection of the Secretary of the Treasury. In addition to this undisguised traffic, i every influence that could be brought to bear was made use of in one way or anothor, and prospective possession of oflioe was promised in a manner that made it almost as effective an induce? ment as present possession. A NEW DISOOVEBY.-Only think of itl They have found a water lily on the Up? per Mississippi of the same family as the Egyptian lotos, and all the dreamers are ecstatic over it. We shall have au inter? esting aasooiatiou of lotophagi at once; no doubt of that. Budding poets of every degree will grow enthusiastic over the met, and thero is some hope that they may visit tho favored spot and taste the blissful fruit. The lotos was sup? posed to make all who ate of it loso all desire to roturn to tho place of their birth. A couple of Galveston, Texas, young men went oat bathing, bad a fine time, got ready to pot on their clothes, end found thom missing. They wended their way through tho streets of the town, avoiding all the gos lamps, and as they approached their boarding house they wore dumbfounded to find all the lady boarders sitting upon the porch by which they would have to poss to gam their room. They sought an adjoining lot, where tbey remained until all had re? tired, daring which time they were literally chawed up by mosquitoes. "Tho most menacing vice of the coun? try is our growing unscrupulousness in business. It seems to be spreading everywhere, a moral miasma poisoning the very life of the nation. It is cor? rupting our ohuroh life as well as our business life, and unless it be chocked, we shall be overthrown in both. The most urgent' duty of our pulpits and journals at this hour is tho restoration of the national conscience." [The Methodist. "From this time forth I cons?crate the labors of my lifo to the dissolution of the Union; and I caro not whether tho bolt that rends it shall come from heaven or from hell." Tho author of this very wicked doctrine is Frederick Douglass. He must be alive, since he is firing hts pop-gun at Greoley. Bat what, then, becomes of his "consecrating tho labors of my life,"eto.?

The macy friends of the ex-pastor will. extend him a kindly greeting. Messrs. Weam & Hix have ocoupied thoir new "Temple of Art." Piotures of all classes and kinds, in the very best styles, eau be obtained. Pearce & Sprague's new water works buildings and appurtenances aro attract? ing considerable attention. Numerous springs in tho vicinity of the "Big Eddy," or Hall's Basin, have been tapped, and an immense supply of water obtained. In case of a failure, however, the necessary pipes, filterers, etc., have been provided to pump up the river water. Tho appearance of things in ? that vicinity has boen so materially changed, that the "oldest inhabitant" would fail to recognize it. Col. Pearce has done his work effectually. Our neighbor, John Seegers, provides an extra lunch, to-day-to wbich he in? vites his patrons and friends. Throngh the efforts of Postmaster C. M. Wilder, au arrangement has been completed whereby the mail from the North, which has heretofore passed on the night train to Augusta, is left and opened in the morning. This is a great convenience to all business men. Fritz Kohneman has struok the key? note. He furnishes first class lunohes every day, at ll o'clock; and Saturday night last, at 9 o'clock, he set ont a clam chowder, wbich was gobbled up in an incredibly short space of time-and not by natives of the Nutmeg State only, but a number of our natives who are fond of good things. Yesterday, among other Iuneheries, roast clams were furnished-the roasting superintended by Messrs. Albreoht and Sheridan. To? day, clam chowder will be the attraction. Twenty-five or thirty dead frogs and tad-poles were seen floating in the basin of the city water works, on Snnday. Messrs. R. & W. C. Swaffield aro about to occupy the second story of their building, and at the same time add thirty or forty feet of space to their store. They expect a heavy fall and winter business, and with a tremendous stock of goods, will bo prepared to meet it. We were regaled, last ovening, during our labors, by the. delioious strains of Signor G. B. FaUtocisse's superior string band.

It is a sad thing to ohroniolo the death of so young a person, just entering, as it were, upon the theatro of life, full of hope, perhaps, and ambition.
