COLUMBIA. S. C. Thursday Morning:, September 26,1872. For President of the United Slates. HORACE QIIEELKT, of Ntw York. For vice-President B. GRATZ BROWN, or Missouri. Peace or Prolonged Bayonet Rule. The ohief iaaae between the partisans of Gen. Grant's re-eleotion and those who faror Mr. Gree'ey aa President, is as regards harmony between the divided sections of tho country, and its perma? nent and wholesome pacification. A good man, with any sohl in his body, in tho situation of President Grant, could do muon towards effecting reconciliation, notwithstanding the clamor of the cal? lona and cold-blooded crew who sur? round him. But he lifts not a finger, he Bays not a word, in favor of that peace which he hypocritically invoked four years ago. When called upon by Gerritt Smith, for decency's sako, to abate the nuisance, and hush the scandal of tho imprisonment of old, suffering and in? nocent mon, convicted nnder the Ku Klux Aots, he sent a doteotive to spy out tho state of their minds first, in order to get a report whioh would serve aa a cam? paign papert and justify bia refusal to grant the clemency. Recently, through uia ?LUborney-ueuci.ai, no uno UDUHUCU LU entertain a similar request, made by Mr. QtephonB, of Georgia, upon the prepos? terous ground, that if granted, there would be danger of a revival of Ka Klux disturbances, as a consequence, in those (fabulons and unknown) localities where the Ku Klux organizations are said'to exist. His Secretary of tho Treasury, Boutwell, in a speech in North Carolina, strenuously opposed closing up tho bloody chasm left by war, and the Con? vention of soldiers and sailors, whioh but a few days ago met in Pittsburg, were animated by the same spirit. In order to subserve Grant's interests, they sought to revive the animosities and re? kindle the bitterness and hatred whioh were dying ont of the hearts of men. They and Grant's supporters generally hold that the time Las not yet come for reconciliation. They shrieked, let there be no olasping of hands, but rather a shaking of fists, over the bloody chasm. They wiah to resurrect issues whioh were settled by the bullet seven years ago, and which, being dead, but for them, would be forgotten. Wendell Phillips: is in an ecstaoy of joy at finding a party that will go the whole length of his frantic demands. "Tho reason why I support the Re? publican party," he says, "ia that, to my utter surprise, to my unutterable Bar prise, to my indescribable delight, to my relief, I hare at last found a party that is willing to execute all the laws that are given them. It is for that reason that I say, 'Long live Ulysses Grant! May he continue to be President of the United States aatii every white mau over forty years of age, who lives South of Mason and Dixon's line, has been forever put into the ground.' " Phillips and Butler are sworn friends, and both apostles of hate. They fulmi? nato the orders, they promulgo the doctrines, which are transmitted and re? peated all along the lines of their fol? lowers. One is a boon prophet of evil and vengeance. Under show of fervor and zeal as a friend of humanity, he hides, and when he thinks it a fit occa? sion, lets go the most extreme and blood? thirsty propositions. As his party takes in ono scheme, he coolly announces another still more advanced and startling. He is ever moving and beckoning his followers on. Butler's slogan is bitter? unrelenting, vindictive hate. The perse? cution of the weak, the traducer of wo? man, the betrayer of party, the despised and contemned of all men, he owes a debt of revenge whioh he assiduously endeavors to pay with interest. What a contrast have the writings of Horaoo Greeley, for a long time past, presented to the rabid and shocking Utterances of the Grantiteal The one seem strains from heaven, the other fllypieka from heit At all tho points wjfere Greeley has spoken, in his pro? gress Weat, now touching his pleadings for peaco, how earnest his appeals for genuino friendship and a final settlement and bnrial of all differences upon the altars of a common country 1 There is all the difference in the world in the im? pulse whioh animated the Pittsburg Con? vention, f?r example, and that whioh in? spired him in his address there just after its adjournment, He took occasion himself to present it sharply, and with the finest effect. It deserves to be. read by the whole American people, and trea? sured in their heart of hearts. For our? selves, we agree with Mr. Hunter, of .Virginia, that Mr. Greeley deserves the Presidency, if, for nothing else, for his early, consistent, bold and persevering efforts in behalf of peace and harmony throughout our distracted land. "It is truly a grand picture-that of an ?ld patriot earnestly and eloquently pleading the causo of those who have no voice, who c&nnot be heard-exposing his breast against the sharp prejudices and bristling passions of men. He tells his countrymen of their errors-of the orael injustice and wrong they are per? petuating. With all the zeal and warmth and vigor of bis nature, be endeavors to wean them from the bloody shambles of an old feud into the pleasanter walka of peaoe. He warns them against the evils of a divided, torn and distracted coun? try. Before the mad musio of their maroh had died away among the peace? ful hills, he faced the conquerors und asserted the rights of the conquered. It was Camillua before tho Senate; it was Cato quelling the clamors of the Roman populace." If the overtures for peace, if tho earn? est pleading for the restoration of tho Government to its appropriate fane tiona, and its limitations within its pro? per, bounds by the party of reform, be disregarded and rejected by the Ameri? can people, if they re-eleot Qraut, we Bhall have still darker days before us of prolonged military rule, "inspired by the priuoiple of monarchy and the policy of hato." PotMbl* Predicament. Suppose Moses and his ticket ate duly sleeted and installed in their offices, and the grand system of reform in full blast, then the Mooneys and Leggett?, as well as the Ripples, Markies ami Emmingers, must look out for squalls. When they some up to get their little something Tro m the Treasury, as usual, they will be confronted by the virtuous, tho imma? culate Cardozo. His bland smile will be converted into a frown, as he says: "Avaunt, ye! no more of that. Weare reformers, and costive of the public money." Perhaps they will swear; per hnps they will show fight; perhaps, like the man who was too prudent to take the bull by the horus, they will say or aing: "We will sit on this stile, and continue to smile: Perhaps it may softon tho heart of thiB cow." "CAMDEN.-There was aiarge meeting to have been held at Camden, yesterday. General F. J. Moses, Jr., and other speakers were to have addressed the meeting." So says the Union, of the 25th. Was that large mooting held? "That is the question." If all the rivers in the world wore combined into one, what a large river that would be; and if all the trees iu the world were combined into one, what a large tree that would be; and if all the axes iu the world were combined into one, what a large axe that would be; and if all the men in the world were com? bined into one, what a large mau that would bel Then if that large man were to tako that large axe, and fell that large tree into that large river, what a elie ti slosh there would be.

TUE CAIIDWEIIII TRA?HDT.-The cor? respondent of tho Charleston News fur? nishes the following statement from Capt. George Topper, relative to the killing of Capt. John D. Caldwell, on Saturday last: Upon the commitment of the coroner. Capt. George E. Tapper is still confined in jail for killing Capt. John D. Cald? well, of this oity, last Saturday. It is rumored that efforts will be at once made to effect his release by an applica? tion for a writ of habeas corpus. His brother, from Charleston, and others of his friends, have arrived in this city. The Hon. C. W. Montgomery, one of the parties engaged in the fight, who was yesterday released from confinement, by his own option shares tho fare of the oell with Tupper. Capt. Tapper's state? ment of the facts of the affray differs widely from that which has hitherto been given. The reporter of the News, in an interview with the prisoner this evening, found him in as cheerful a state of mind as the circamstanceB permit. He occupies the roomy prison cell in the jail in which the alleged Ka Klux of Union were confined. Many people havo visited him during the day. A cot, bench and two chairs make up tho fur? niture of the room. Tapper expresses much grief at the fatal result of te ren? contre, but claims that the trial will show that ho acted in self-defence. The following is the verbatim statement mado to your reporter, this evening, by Cupt. Tupper, whioh is confirmed by C. W. Montgomery, who was present daring tho interview in the presence of one other person. Ho says: Colonel Charles W. Montgomery, his friend of long acquaintance in Charles? ton, where they both formerly resided, called upon him at his residence on tho night prior to the publication of his (Montgomery's) card in the DALLY PHOE? NIX, whioh reflected severely upon Judge Samuel W. Melton, and requested that Tapper should accompany him to tho PHOENIX office, and also that he should read the card whioh he proposed to pub? lish, and which was to appear the next morning. Tupper dressed himself im? mediately and wont with Montgomery to tho PHOENIX office. On the way there Montgomery explained to him tho arti? cle that had appeared in the Beaufort Republican, giving tho language of Judge Melton in a recent speech at that place reflecting upon Montgomery. Upon arriving at the PHOENIX ellice, Montgomery showod tho card to Tupper, und the latter says he endorsed dis? course, and tho card appeared the next morning in the PHCENIX. During the day of the publication of Colonel Mont? gomery's card, Tupper states that he wat informed by several gentlemen thal Capt. John D. Caldwell had stated thal he had telegraphed to several points foi Judge Melton to return to Columbia im mediately and meet Colonol Mont gomery; also, that Colonel Montgomery had asked Tupper to serve him as hit friend in the matter, and he (Tupper had agreed to do so. At aboat 1 o'oiool on Saturday afternoon, Colonel Mont gomery came to Tapper's office anc stated that Judge Melton was on Mait street with his friend, Captain Caldwell and asked him (Tapper) if he (Mont gomery) had not better show himself 01 the ?ame street and give Judge Meltoi an opportunity to approach him if le should have any deiire to do so. Th. prisoner slates that he acquiesced, am at 2 o'clock joined Montgomery, an< walked down Richardson street, th main street in the oity, on th West side, for several squares, a far as Muller's, at the corner o Lady street, and thero met Mr. Jame Brennan, editor of the Southern Celt and Secretary and Treasurer of th State Central Committee on the boltin, wing of the Republican party, where : conversation was engaged in for abeu half an hour, when Brennan propose that the party should walk to Pollock' saloon for refreshments, which they did There the party partook of beer. Who they oame out of tho saloon on Kienan: son street again, Tapper states that li saw Capt. Caldwell and Judge Melton o tho opposite side of tho street, in iron of George Symmor's grocory store, an he states that he observed they recoj nized Montgomery and him, (Tupper. The opposite party then walked up th street slowly; and when that party ha reached the oorner by Peixotto's eton (the South-east oorner of Riohardso and Washington streets,) Tapper aske i Montgomery to walk with him up tb ' street, on tho opposite side, in the sam direction. Montgomery said,1 'Yes, " an they walked ap the street slowly, for th purpose of giving Judge Moiton an oj portunity to assail Montgomery, if 1 chose to do so. When Judge Melto and Capt. Caldwell arrived at tho pa motto tree which stands on the opposil corner from Peixotto's store, they orosse Richardson street, and when they roache the opposite side, tho two parties wei but fifteen or twenty feet apart, bot walking np Richardson street, Tappi and.Montgomery walking behind Melto and Caldwell, at a distance of aboi twenty feet. When they had roache the club-room door, about a square an a half from the oorner mentioned, Me ton and Caldwell stopped, and as Mon gomery and Topper passed thom slowl; walking along, tho other party faood ou wards, when Tapper states that he a luted both' gentlemen with the word "Gentlemen, good-day," tho rolatioi between him (Tupper) and both Caldwc and Melton being of a friendly oharaote Col. Montgomery, at this time, simp! bowed to Capt. Caldwell. Tupper statt that Montgomery and himself then coi tinned on np Richardson street, stoj ping at the Colombia Hotel about ? hour and discussing the matter. I and Colonol Montgomery both ooi duded and agreed that Judge Moltc did not intend to assault him. Colon Montgomery, belioving the same to 1 clearly indicated by the gentleman ai Sriered, (Melton,) they concluded th udge Moiton would address a comm nioation to Colonel Montgomery, re SaeBtiog a meeting tn Augusta, Ga., or karlotte, N. C., and at tho timo, and as an ?vidence of the fact, Tapper elates that he had made arrangements to ob? tain tho same dooling pistols that were seleoted for the Davegn and Johnson affair. At the Columbia Hotel, Colonel Montgomery invited him (Tupper) to dine at Pollock's, and the latter told Montgomery that ho bad told his family that he woald probably not be at home to dinner, as be bad ati important en? gagement. Tupper aud Montgomery then walked down to the Pollock Houso, where dinner wan immediately ordered. Thoy mot thora Mr. Theo. Starke, an old citizen and former Mayor of the city, with whom a short conversation was held. Dinner boiug announced, Colonel Montgomery and Tapper went into the dining-room. Colonel Mont? gomery requested Tapper to sit at the head of the table, and the latter did so. [NOTE.-Tho bead of the table faces tho door entering from tho bar. A side door on tho left of the table leads out of the dining hall betweeu tho head of tho table and tho entrance.] Just at this moment, Messrs. F. H. Elmore, Field? ing and Lawrence Taylor carno in. Colonel Montgomery naked them to dine. They declined, saying they had ordered dinner. Colonel Montgo? mery then asked them to drink, and beef was ordered for five persona. Tho servant entered, and, at this mo? ment, Tupper status he Baw Capt. Cald? well looking iu at the door of entrance to the diuing-hall, and then close tho samo. Ho did not think it at ull strange, supposing he was looking for somo friend. Half a minute bad not elapsed after this, when Jndge Melton came into the room followed by Capt. Caldwell and Maj. Morgan; aud, before Col. Mont? gomery hud timo to know of their ap? proach, ho, (Montgomery,) whilo sitting in his chair, cutting a pieoe of meat, was violently assaulted by Judge Melton several severo blowB being inflicted upon his face, when Melton fell on him with his immense, weight, causing Col. Mont? gomery to reel from his chair on the floor, Judge Melton upon him, continu? ing his blows in rapid succession. Tho prisoner states further, that before ho could offer auy assistance to his friend, Montgomery, ho (Tupper) had received a severe blow iu his right eye, iutliotod with the fist of Capt. Caldwell, the latter having a pistol in his right hand at the time, and remarking, ns he struck him, (Topper,) "By G-d, I am hore." To which Tuppor Btutes that be replied, "So nm II" returning the blow, which staggered Captain Caldwell, whon Major Morgan strack him (Tapper) a heavy blow over the loft of the forehead, and then both Caldwell and Morgan rnshed upon him very exaltedly, grap? pling with bim, (Tupper,) endeavoring to get him to the ground. Tupper avers that their treatment was very violent, forcing him down more than once, and pressing him to the wall, giving him no qaarter at all. Topper states further, that his opinion is, that he woald have been killed if Providence had not come to his aid. This is Captain Topper's statement, as taken down from his lips in the prison. During the time of this fight, as stated by him, Melton and Montgomery were fighting on tho floor, and continued to fight until separated, after Caldwell had been killed. The third shot, which passed oat of the side door, above de? scribed, struck in tho alley-way, and ia presumed to have been fired at Melton. Excitement bas beeu rife in the vici? nity of Mar's Bluff, S. C., recently, caused by tho killing of Will Myers, co? lored, by Smiley Bigbams, and the woandiogof his wife by L. S. Bigham. The circumstances were as follows: Will had routed land from Bigham, but had failed to comply with tho agree? ment, and loft tho place more than a month ago, but returned to the field on Thursday, with his wife and children, and began to pick cotton. Smiley Big? ham and his father went to where they wore, nnd claimed tho cotton. Smiley took hold of Will's basket, to keep him from moving it from tho field, when Will spring furiously at him with u stick and felled him to the ground, and jumping on him, gougod his eyes fearfully. Smi? ley, whilst do wu, drew a pistol and fired two shots into Will's body; then, extri? cating himself, rose and fired two moro. Will livod three hours. Whilo Will had Smiley Bigham down, L. S. Bigham started to his assistance, when Will's wife sprang on him; he drew a pistol, and inflicted two painful flesh wounds, but she wrested tho pistol from his hands and fled from the scene of conflict. Afc 2 o'clock, the following night, a number of persons collected with arms in front of Bigham's gate, yelliog ami firing a volloy, but not at the house, until the last gun, whioh (hit the house. Bigham's family, a Mr. Ventera and Dr. Hiller were in the house at tho time, the latter attending the wounded. On Friday, Dr. Miller was oalled to Dewitt's Bluff to amputate the hand of a man who was injured in tba machinery of the steamer Planter. After he was through, and whilst on his return, at 9 o'clock P. M., by the place of Bigham, he heard firing. He told them that it was an act of barbarity that only savages would bo guilty of, to fire into a man's family, and if they had anything against Bigham, oall him to account away from his family. The firing ceased and the por ties loft.-Marion Star. ?, ?, ' .

It is only through woo we are taught to reflect, and we gather the honey - of worldly wisdom not from flowers, bat thorns. Intemperance is the parent of most other vices. It quenches the salutary power of reason, and makes ns the sport of raging passion. We should give as wo wonld receive, cheerfully, quickly and without hesita? tion; for there is no grace in a benefit that sticks to the fingers. Some men make a great flourish abont always doing what they believe to be right, but always manage to believe that is right which is for their own interest The true motives of our actions, like the reed pipes of on organ, are usually concealed; but the gilded and hollow pretext is pompously plaoed in the front for show. He who sedulously attends, pointedly asks, calmly speaks, ooolly answers, and ceases when he has no moro to say, is in possession of some of the best requisites of man.

TIVE INDUSTRY.-We are glad to learn a movement is on foot to organize a cot? ton factory iu Georgia on the co-opera? tive principle. The plan is to build a factory and stock it with the most im? proved machinery. Attached to the factory will bo lands upon which to erect the cottages for the laborers, with a few acres attached to each borne. The church and school-house will not be omitted, and tho principle of temper? ance, which has worked so well at Vine? land, New Jersey, will be engrafted in the little co-operative society iu Georgia. Correspondence has already been opened with experienced parties in that State with the view of securing a desirable location. So soon as this, with other prelimiuary steps are taken, a company will be formed under the general incor? poration laws of either New York, Geor? gia or Massachusetts. The capital stock will be fixed at a figure sufficient to carry the enterprise through thoroughly, and certain leading men in the North, interested ia the subject, will undertake the work of having the stock subscribed for. The now company will engraft on the enterprise the three leading ideas of co? operative distribution of profite1, the eight hour principle of labor, and tem? perance. Families will be selected from among the manufacturing districts of the North, and tho most skillful supervision and experienced management secured. It is also proposed to associate with this factory enterprise a oolony of Northern agriculturists, so as to have a settlement of small farms adjacent to the village. This will give society for the settlers, and command first class church and educational advantages. We regard this as the beginning of a revolution in the South. Faotories and small farms are what we want, and co? operative settlements will lead to this. The industrial problem which England is trying to solve, which has for centu? ries agitated Germany and France, and is now engaging the attention of the laboring classes in the manufacturing districts of tho North, is destined to find its final solution in tho Southern States of America. In these States is to be found all the necessary conditions for the success of co-operative industries. Coal, iron and water-power and cotton are in close juxtaposition. The climate is favorable to health and mild in its temperature, without being enervating. The soil produces in prolific abundance grain, vegetables and fruit. Living is, therefore, oheap. These considerations, with cheap land and asparse population, naturally invite associated labor to seek for hames and independence in this fer? tile and beautiful garden of the Union. ? glanoe at the geographical position of the South, with its natural and artifi? cial lines of communication, will show that ready accessibility to a ohoico of markets will add greatly to its other ad? vantages as a manufacturing district. All we need is organized and associated skilled labor, supported by capital, to enable ns to oover the Southern States with faotories. One or two prsotical successes, even on a small scale, will im? part suoh an impetus to the co-operative idea that capital in abnndanoe will be found to assist in its complete develop? ment.-New York South. There exists in Sullivan street, New York, a company for the manufacture of pies with a capital of $300,000. Some idea of the amount of material consumed in their mnnufnoturo, may be received from tho following summary of artioles used per week: Sugar, 40,000 pounds; batter, 6,000 pounds^oopoannt 1,500 pounds; squashes andpnmpkins, 60,000 pounds; milk, 12,000 quarts; oggs, 60, OOO; flour, HO barrels; beef for mince pies, 800 pounds; apples, 600 barrels; berries, 100 boxes; pie-plates, 100,000. Never laugh at a ohild when it oaks a foolish question. It is not foolish to the child. If a ohild is sensitive, ono in? stance of laughing and ridioule, in BUCU \ case, might forever ohill its aspirations iftor self-eduoation. No matter how rivial a ohild's question may seem to be, t is entitled to a prompt and kind an iwor. A North Carolina oonple were lately narried at a cirons.
