COLUMBIA, S. C. Wednesday morning, Sept. 25,1872. For President of the United Stales, lion ACE GKEELKY. or New York. For vice-President B. GRATZ 11KOWJ?, or missouri. C?ndidacy mt Hon. B. F. Ferry. In a note published yesterday from Hon. B. F. Perry, tho Liberal Republi? can candidate for Congress in the Fourth Congressional District, ho makes ap? pointments to meet and address tho peo? ple at Laurons Court House, Spartan bnrg Court House, Union Court House, Yorkvillo, Rook Hill, Chester Court House and Winnsboro, beginning 30th September and ending 12th October. Colonel Perry is a bold, honest and con? scientious man. Ho has all his life boen distinguished for tho frank expression, and the firm maintenance of his political opinions. These have often been at variance with those entertained by tho .people of South Carolina. But during all this time of quasi opposition to the -sentiments that were dominant in the State, and sometimes to those held among his own immediate constituency, he has been respected, honored and supported. He was kao^ra to be honest and sinoere, and these qualities sustained him in the advocacy of evon unpopular views. . Colonel Perry is now presented to the people of the Fourth Congres? sional District as thoir candidate for Congress. They have been practically without a representa ti vu for several years. Having the requisite majority, they naturally desiro that they shall be represented, and very strongly that they shall not bo misrepresented any longer. Other portions of the State sympathize with them in this desire, and feel an interest in the election. As they cannot be direotly represented them? selves, they the more anxiously wish that at least ono man, worthy of the State, and whose ability, eloquence, acquirements and spirit, qualify him fitly to represent it, shall be heard in Congress. Cob Perry can present our case with telling effect. If any man is entitled to be heard in Congruas as a national man, and because always a consistent Union man, it is he. Retaining his loyalty to his State, still fired by the love of homo and friends, and amid all the defections to principio keoping his honor and his in? tegrity bright and unsullied, and repre? senting as ho will a prostrate community, an insnlted negro and Government-rid? den people, he will have wrongs to exhi? bit, themes to expatiate upon, whioh wpnld "stir the blood of age, and make an infant's sinew strong as steel." Con? gress is the field where Col. Perry can do honor to himself, acceptably' serve his own constituency, and make an impres? sion in favor of the whole people of South Carolina, whioh will do them sig? nal service tn the dnrk times and circum? stances whose gloom and shadows en? velope us now, and are projected far into the future. Imported Negro Vote In Indiana. We all know in South Carolina what aptitude tho oolored man has for voting. It is ono of those things which he cannot bear to misa. He is sure to vote. He does it early, late and often. He votes as if he were endeavoring to make np for lost time, for those years in whioh, under the laws, he was not allowed to vote. White men ' ma; be, and often are, remiss in this matter. They require to be argued and expostulated with, to induce them to go to tho registration or the polls. They shrink from the scenes whioh they are compelled to witness there, and they are despondent of pro dnoing any good effect by their votes. They show reluctance. Not so the oolored man. He has no delicacy and no scruples about it. He likes to put his ballot in, whether it will do any good or not. In his view, it always does good, and is always a good thing. He never tires of voting (pr Aristides, the Just, aa the Athenian boor did, or any one else, the unjust. He just likes to vote and to keep ou voting. It is his affair to cast the .ballot, not tb regard toe conse? quences. These he leaves to his ma? nagers. The vote ic the,, sign of his manhood, the proof of his equality, and it pleases him, as often as possible, to exhibit it. . Yoting never becomes stale to him, no matter how often, or how un? justifiably, exercised. It hos a perennial freshness and sweetness for him. Knowing how ho loves it, how he is on the qui vive to assert himself by this oct, knowing also that ho puts a moderate money value upon his right to suffrage, as compared with white mon, the Radical managers in North Garolina largely availed themselves of the abundant sup? ply of free and easy oolored votes in tho border Counties of Virginia and South Carolina. They poured into that State and turned the scale. And now an elec? tion approaches in Indiana. The Radi cal leaders of that State, emul?os of the success of their North Carolina exem? plars, have successfully planned for a large importation of colored voters. It ia reduced to system, and is carried on to an enormous extent. Morton's elec? tion is in peril, and the Administration in straits. Its resources are at tho com? mand of Morton, in order that the State may not be lost. If the imported negro vote can save it, it will be saved. Oh, tho ballot! the ballot! don't "It exeouto a freomau'a will As lightning doea tho will of God!" ? ? ? ? SWEDEN'S NEW KINO.-By.n cable de? spatch, wo learn that on Friday the State dignitaries at Stookholm took the oath of allegianoo to tho nqw Sovereign of Sweden and Norway. Oscar Frederick, late Dake of Ostrogothic, now pro? claimed King Osoar II, is the eldest bro? ther of the late King Charles XV, and son of King Oscar I. He is now forty three years of age, a man of acknow? ledged ability, and will begin his'reign enjoying the good will and confidence of his subjects. Ia accordance with usage, he will bo separately crowned in the two ancient kingdoms-at Stockholm for Sweden, and at Dronthcim for Norway. While the united nations mourn for the death of King Charles they will rejoice over the aooossion of King Osoar. THE "BAUX" RAIDEOAD.-An enter? taining correspondent of tho Now York Evening Post, who bas been takiug a ride on the Denver and Rio Grande "narrow gauge,"- thus relates his railroad experionoe: A great pet with the Denverians is the "baby railroad," so-called, because its narrow guage (only three feet wide) and single track remind one rather of some arrangement for tho delight of the nur? sery than of any method seriously con? trived for the transportation of adult passengers and their belongings. Its real namo is the Denver and Rio Grande Railway, and it will not he long before the City of Mexico, old, romantic, almost forgotten Mexico, will bo directly oonnected by its means with Eastern and Northern civilization. Even as now finished to Puebla, it connects Denver with tho heart of the most remarkable region of this laud of wonders. Hither? to wo had only seen the mountains from afar, but tho first minuto out of Denver by this route showed a difference, and established the magical Arabian Night sey feeling which never left us since. In the first place, the comfortable littlo car, with two seats on one side and one on the other, suggested a pleasant remi? niscence of our first stage coaches, con? structed of chairs, with papa au hooored passenger, and inclined us to believe the nonsense gravely told us that the long straps winoh hung over the seats were intended to tie in the passengers, as little ohildren are fastened ia high chaira, for fear a single tilt of the steam cradle should send us over the engine. Find? ing that these straps woroj.only window supportera was, of course, a disappoint? ment, like discovering that Santa Claus is not a'real existence; but the glamour remained, and if we had found ourselves dwindled to the dimensions of Tom Thumb's cortege I believe that we should buvo been rather pleased than mach sur prised. To these quasi infantile intel? lects the telegraph poles along tho way wore sources of inexhaustible interest. every one being marked with its number and tho completo mile accomplished with delightful certainty at tho twenty seventh. Does not everybody romember how a long walk used to be shortened in tho early days by cutting it into pieces mentally nnd counting tho divisions seri? atim? We felt as if tho whole arrange? ment were a contrivance to amuBO tho baby railroaders, and scouted the idea that it was for the benefit of section en? gineers and such people. The Paris Charivari, the cornie paper of tho French metropolis, recently con? tained u pictorial hit at the then impend? ing meeting of the Emperors of Prussia, Russia and Austria. Three eagles in a row, each wearing a crown, are seen flap? ping thoir wings and giving vent to a sort of mutually-oongratulatory crow over a coming feast of good things. Perched at a little distance is a fourth euglo, representing the ex-Emperor Na? poleon, his beak hanging down, bis feathers torn to shreds, and bia whole aapeot fallen and melancholy, while be ruefully says to himself, "I laid the doth for them, and they no longer in? vito mo." The "funeral" of PereHyaointho took place, according to the London Echo, on September 5. It ia the custom among Roman Oatbolio religious communities to consider any member that deBerts them as dead, dud the ceremony of burying bim is goop through. Thia was done at the Convent of Dominicans to which M. Hyacinthe Loyeon belonged. A coffin woa placed in the middle of the chancel, and the customary burial service chanted. The Aiken Tribune says Judge T. J. Maokey bas just returned from a visit to President Grant, who assured bim that be bad no sympathy with tho bolting movement in thia State, and would have Major Merrill court-martialed if the latter exhibited any futuro interference with the State canvass. The meterologioal records of the Penn? sylvania Hospital at Philadelphia, which go back to 1790, show that tho summer which bas just closed with the month of August, bas been tho hottest ever known in the history of tho oity. It is DOW a penal offence, to play carda even for amusement in a Georgia bar? room. t THE GRANT PYRAMID.-Among a vast deal of bosh that too Grant papers are constantly filled with, in placo cf argu? ment and reason, the so-called Grant pyramid has been considered quito a hit. It is copied from one to the other, without alteration, and evidently with? out consideration, as the following prick? ing of tho bubble will show. We repro? duce it, simply because thoughtless readers may glanoe at it carelessly, and take its falsities for political-gospel truth. Tho Cincinnati Times recently produced, at tho end of an editorial review of the State elections that have taken place since the nominations of Grunt and Gree? ley, the following rotten fragment of campaign shoddy: "Greeley hos as yet not a Stat?: to show-and what ono will he get in Octo? ber?-to compote with the assured result? summed up in this Grant pyramid: "MAINE (a.) OREGON (b.) VERMONT (c.) CONNECTICUT^ '/. ) WEST VIRGINIA (e.) RHODE ISLAND (f.) NEW HAMPSHIRE (// ) NORTH CAROLINA, (h.)" The Cincinnati Enquirer thereupon goes for it, and picks it onsily to pieces, thus: (a.) Maine has beeu carried hythe Grant party, with a loss of 3,400 on 125,000 votes. A corresponding loss on that vote will lode to Gruut Ohio, Penn? sylvania and Iudiana. With this pro? viso, it may stand ut the head of tho Grunt pyramid. (b. ) The State of Oregon has not voted since the nomination of cither Presiden? tial candidate at Philadelphia or Balti? more. (c.) Vermont waH always conceded to Graut, as the Republicans there have been three to one to tho Democrats for many years. Its mujority, however, has been reduced. (cl.) Connecticut has hud no election since the Prosidentiul contest with Grunt and Greeley opened, and siuce the Liberal Republican party was formed. (e.) West Virginia voted for Grunt in 1803 by 0,000 majority. At her late election the prcsont Democratic Govern? or, Jacab, who is for Greeley, was oh osen over another Greeley candidate,, Camden. There was not a Grant caudidate in thc field for any State office. The new con? stitution, adopted by n Democratic State Convention, and opposed by the Grant party, was ratified by tho people by n handsome majority. Isn't this a protty brick to put iuto a Grunt pyramid? (f.) Rhode Island. The 'Times and Chronicle editor forgot that there hud been no election in this State since Grant and Greeley were mudo the standard-bearers of the respective parties. It, therefore, makes, Uko Ore? gon, Connecticut and Now Hampshire, a pretty thing for a purely imaginary pyramid. (g.) New Hampshire. No election has been held here. Tho sumo remarks apply to it that we made on Rhode Island. (h.) North Carolina. This State gavo 12,000 majority for Grant. It gave the Republicans 8,000 majority la6t year. This year the Grant men have chosen their Governor by the trifling majority of 2,000, but the Greeley men have the Legislature, United States Senator, Con? gressmen, and overything elso. lt doesn't, therefore, maka a very sub? stantial base on which to construct a Grant pyramid. Knocked out in No? vember, as it will bo, the whola stinature falls, if what really belongs to it, after our deductions, is of sufficient impor? tance to be called a structure TUB BLACKVILLE HOMICIDE-ACQUIT? TAL OF THE ACCUSED.-During Tharsduy and Friday, of the past week, tho Court of General Session* for Barnwell Coun? ty, S. G., was engaged in the trial of Capt. Black, who was charged with the killing of Mr. Turner, tho Town Mar? shal of Blackville. Tho particulars of the affair are well known to the public. There was au altercation between Black and a man named Groves. Turner, with whom it is generally supposed Black was friendly, interfered to prevent a fight, and in tho melee was shot and killed by Black. In tho same fracas a young mun named Groves was shot and wounded. The jury was composed entirely of ne? groes, and tho prisoner was represented by ex-Judge Aldrich and Robert Aldrich, Esq. Col. P. L. Wiggins conducted'the prosecution on behalf of the State. After hearing the evidence and the able argument of the counsel, on both sides, Judge J. J. Maher, who sat on the bench for the first time, charged the jury clearly against the prisoner; but tho jury, after an absence of three hours, re? turned a verdict of "not guilty." The prisoner was then discharged, but waa subsequently arrested on a warrant for assault and battery upon young Groves, who was wounded in the same fracas. He gave bond for his appearance at court, and was subsequently released. Tho money order system between the United States and the German Empire will go into operation on Tuesday next, October 1.

The death is announced, in his eighty third year, of Capt. W. D. Evans, well known among chess-players as tho in? ventor of tho "Evans gambit." Thero aro aoven ships at Bull River, S. C., loading with phosphates. All aro foreign vessels-three from England and four from Spain. Bertha Davis, of Rochester, says: "The modern belle is a leaning towor, with au eruption on her back." Bertha ought to know. NEWSPAPER PATRONS.-The Athena Post says tim: "Ooo thing wo have noticed from tho time we entered upon oar apprenticeship, forty eight years ago, the 10th day of this mouth, that Providence general^' smiles benignanlly nod prosperously upon the mau who keeps himself square on the priiiter'e books. You take tho subscription list of auy country pupur, where the advuuee syttam is not religiously adherod to, call out the namo3 of those who pay prompt? ly, then visit their habitations, und, in nine cases out of ten, you will fiud Ibem in the enjoyment of all tho ordinary comforts ot* life-pleasant and contented households-the husband kind and in? dustrious, tho wife happy nod uflectiou ate, children sprightly and weil behaved nt borne and abroad, sleek cattle grazing in tho greeu pastures und good stock feeding in the stalls, thrifty fruit ?iud shade trees around, flowers blooming in the garden und about tho yurd, and un air of neatness, comfort und substance without and within. Now, take that other class of patrons-those that never pay ut all, or have to bo 'ding-donged out of it' at the end of tho third year; what is s'ill worrie, tho newspaper sponge who is not able to pay l'or a paper, but ever ready to borrow from his neighbor -ten to one you will lind u majority of these ul ways ulHicted with 'short crops,' always 'hard mu,' always 'out of keller,' ares, plows and boes ettrually dull' horses that look like tho genius of, famine, cattle nearly related to Pbaronh'a leau kine, and too poor to low without loaning up against thc rickety feuco, gates ofl' the binges, doors half hung, windows guiltless of ghin-, uot a fruit or shade tree in 3ight, rank Jamestown weeds blooming around tie door-sills, and, instead of luxuriant meadows und perennial pastures, sassafras and briar bushes growing in th? feneo-rows and broken places, and lull-sides furrowed with gullies, and bunches ?>f tall sedge waving mournfully in tho wiud uti o?er the farm, uud, wcjr.se than all, a morose and unhappy husband, a discontented and ill-natared wife, and disobedient, in? tractable ehildreu." Thc reader may think this a fancy sketch; but it ain't, by a good deal. "There is more truth than poetry in it." MR. THAKIN IN NEW YORK.-At a Greeley meeting in Ihocity of New York, Mr. It. S. Thariu, of Charleston, wusoue of the speakers. The Tribune gives the following synopsis of his Kcmurks: Tho Hon. lt. ?5. Thariu, also of South Caroliua, then mudo short remarks, claiming in regard to the condition of tue South, that it was the white people of tho South who needed tho care of their Northern brethren, instead of the negro. [Applause.] They appealed to uight from the blood-staiued land, and asked that in Horace Greeley they might Cud a leader and a pioneer into that future into which tho couutry is ap? proaching. [Applause aud cheers. ] Tho majority of tho South, with the excep? tion, perhaps, of a single State; are white people, aud as this is a Govern? ment of tho people, by the people und for the people, the South has a right as a whito population to govern the South, and Dot the minority, the blacks, many of whom are ignorant, rude, and unlet? tered, and who are galvanized into power ! by a legislation as corrupt as those who have forced it upon the South. If Mr. Greeley was right when he said that planters as a minority should not govern the South, theu he is right again if he says that the negroes as a minority should not govern the South. [Ap? plause.] Horace Gr< eley and B. Grutz Brown must bo placed at our head to save us from chaos, from anarchy, uud from bloody revolution. | Applause.] Tho Now York Elovated Railway, which, when lir?t built, iu 1870, was a decided failure, for tho reasou that the public feared to trust themselves in the new contrivance, aud because of the ter? rifying effect upon the horses produced by tho noise of the cars overhead, is now said to havu become a paying concern. The road has been mortguged two or three times sinco 1870, aud is now car? ried on by au entirely new administra? tion of affairs. Twouty-four traius are at present run daily between Morris and Twenty-ninth streets, tho lower and up? per termini of tho road. Ia tho begin? ning, tho cars wero propelled by an end? less cable, kept ia motion by steam en? gines built below tho streets at various points. Now, however, steam dummies sro used for the motive power, aud the chaugo seems to have popularized travel on the road. Ia order to avoid acci? dents, each car is furnished with six wheels, instead of four, so that if any one of the wheels should be fractured, the car will be amply supported by the rest. Other precautions havo been taken to rendor it impossible for uny car to bo precipitated into the street. The run? ning time from one end of tho route to the other is fifteen minutes-a gain of sufficient importance npon the time by tho ordinary street travel to indnoo a great many naturally timid people to patroaize these cars. An elderly millionaire, being pestered with all manner of application for money, says: "I was good-natured once; but I bog to .state, in the most positive terms, that I am now old, tired, very ill oatured, aud want that fuot generally known." A gentleman named Dunlop remarked that bo had nover hoard his name punned upon, and did not believe it could be done. "There is nothing ia the world moro easy, sir," remarked a punster. "Just lop off half tho name, uud it is Duo." Rev. Mr. LiuJsum, a Baptist minister of Rover, Tennessee, recently died in tho pulpit while preaching. Ho is the second ono in two years to die in tho same pulpit. Cast iron idols, for tho Indian mar? kets, is an important brauch of trado ia Birmingham, England. IC o o ?a l Itoms.

Koneman, of the Assembly street saloon, furnished bis friends-the local amoug the number-with a meas of roast clams, last uight. That they were good, we need hardly inform nny indi? vidual who has partaken of them; and that "we" did thom ample justice, it is also unnecessary to say to those who understand the condition of tho "loOttlV ? palate. See Symmara' Bulletin No. 1. He means what he says. Upon tho recommendation of Judge Melton and many citizens, Joseph Ohiel, oonvicted at tho February term of the Court of Sessions for Richland Coun? ty, of stealing a mule, and sentenced to two years' imprisonment in the peniten? tiary, bas received a pardon from Gov.

Wo desire to make a correction, rela? tive to tho evidence of Mr. Fielding be? fore the coronor's jury, on Sunday last. Tho statement as published was that Melton and Montgomery were between Caldwell und Tupper; whereas it should havo been "Montgomery and Melton were between Tupper and Caldwell and tho door by which Melton, Caldwell and I Morgan entered." The weather is delightful. The slight rains during thu past two days have materially cooled the atmosphere as well as laid the dust. Wo return our thanks to Messrs. W. J. Divine and E. G.

SOUR STOMACH.-If the food taken iuto tho stomach is not digested, it de? composes. lu the latter case, a pungent gas is developed, which causes sour eructations, or else the stomach itself secretes an acid, which, rising upward, at intervals stings tho gullet sharply. These extremely disagreeable sensations are attributable to impaired digestion. To get rid of them or prevent their re? currence, it is only necessary to tone and regulate tho gastric orguus with Hostet tcr's Bitters. It will not answer to post? pone the great corrective with the idea that tho uupleasaut symptoms will dis? appear of themselves. So far from that being the case, they almost invariably culminate, if neglected, in chronic dys? pepsia, with its concomitants of gnawing in the stomach, dizziness, perverted vision, headache and sleeplessness. It is true, that all these disagreeables may be obviated by a courso of the Bitters; bat I how much wiser to anticipate their ar? rival with one or two doses of that sure preventive of indigestion and strength? ener of the alimentary orgaua.
