.COLUMBIA.' S. C. -:-?di_\* _ Friday Morjainfe. Bepten?er.27,1872. for Pr?Bidenh of the Unite? Slates. HORACE Oil EE Li EY, of New York. For Vice-President B. GRATZ JO KO \VN, or HUlokrl. A Third Ticket. Nothing would please the Moses party batter, for nothing would more certainly insure their success, than that the White conservatives should put forward a third ticket for State officers in the com? ing election. The colored people of the State are, f?r the most part, in a very undecided state of mind at present as to their duty in tho gubernatorial election. Some are for Tomlinson, more perhaps are far Moses, while the large majority are as yet nu dot er min ed. They are in? clined tb support TomliuBon as a moro worthy candidate than Moses; but in their ignorance they hesitate in taking a step forward in any other than the beaten Radical track. Moses and his ?crew were nominated by the "regular" .Convention. They bava hitherto been taught a blind obedience to tho direction of their Convention, and it is not suoh an easy undertaking for them to' shake off at once the party shackles which have bound them, and assert their political freedom1--and independence. They fdar sumo trick; on the part, of the whites, whom they havobeen taught to distrust, .and any attempt on oar part to run ja conservative tioket would inevitably, frighten them all back into the- support of Moses, or of tho devil himself, could his satanic majesty's proverbial pride permit bim to take Moses' place. The Moseyites, therefore, would chuckle with delight if tho whites oould in anyway be induced thus to play into their hands. Next to au open nomination, it suits their purpose* best td impress the ap? prehensive colored people with the dread that in some secret hoens-pooau way the . white people intend- ia consolidate their votes d^^^l.M^lrJA^^j?fjil^ai? hjm in for Governor betw?oa 'Mosds and Tom? linson. They are now; assiduously, st oil? ing the credulous minds -of tho colored people with fears of .this kind, and unless each fears can be removed, willi doubt? less, inflaenoe many of them to vote for Moses against their better impulses. It is time?, therefore, for our people to Lake side? definitely in the coming State eleotion, that the colored people may see where we are. No decent man, bf course, can vote for Moses. Some may not vote for Tomlinson, but we are confident that a large majority will. With anything like a full white vote, the chances are that Tomlinson and his ticket will be elected by a handsome ma? jority. Between' him and Moses there is no comparison, and the duty of all good citizens, in our judgment, is plain and unquestionable. There is nothing in Mr. Tomlinson or his ticket to arouse the enthusiasm of our . people, but we should do our duty, nevertheless; and if we believe that he would fill the offico of Governor.more usefully to tho State than Moses, we should vote for him-and we should now'declaro our purpose so to do. "While the blood of John D. Caldwell WAS shed, according to the jury's ver? dict, by George Tupper, yet are there other skirts that cannot, in justice, be accounted olear. Partisan strife for office is, doubtless, the beginning of the affair. Judge Melton cannot be blameless in his speech against Hon. Montgomery; Mr. Montgomery is far less blameless in his oard, in which he denounced the Judge as *a liar, u poltroon and a coward.' If what Judge Melton had said was untrue. Mr.. Montgomery's card Was a wrong step, destitute in itself of any refutation, and at variance with that honor which should attach to one in his position. The PIIONIX is, up to this stacee of the wicked programme, equally blameable with either of the original parties, in that suoh a card should bo found in its columns. These facts, in connection with the aotualj collision Whioh"was going on when the murder was committed, and the reticence of - tho PIIONIX concerning its awn former-inflammatory part, justify the verdict that some of the murdered man's blood is sticking io all three of the parUeff'^BmaJ. And as Maj! ' Morgatf wasSflsQ atvaflt<>r in the Beetle, be miisfrk with tila own wounds" ana loss of blood/ bear his part ia tho result. As Capt. Caldwells, dead -and ? Capt-. - Tupper has been formally adjudged g'ailty of tho fatal shot, and iajfcreuftex to bo tried, these two may Ufiewiti7the hands of God-the surviving also in the hands of the law. The placo where this bloody, scene opdnrrod: was in tho eatitg-riotSm athtohfedtbth? drinking sal?on ol T. M. Pollock. After washing np the murder? ed man's blood from bis, floor, bis'ebaro of blood wilt Stick fast to bini and the iniquitous liquor traffic. The liquor seller may justly wipe, some Of the blood from himself on the City Council, and tho Council may share it with the Legis? lature, and? Judge from the bench and the President-pro tem: of the Senate of South Carolina, and others of like views of official honor and propriety, may throw their auspices over a drinking saloon, yet can they never lift it from its own infamy as determined by a sound public opinion? Men may go down (?) to suoh a place, but they can never bring it above its own fated low level." We copy the above from the Christian Neighbor, a religions weekly, published in our oity. The strained effort to drag the PHONIX fa as hoing partly relpodMP ble for the lamentable affair which ended BO tragically, is certainly both unohrlCt ian and nneighborly. Onr respeot for the "cloth" which tho reverend editor wears, however ungracefully, shall re? strain us from replying to the urticlo in the rough terms whioh it richi; de? serves and invites. There is au air of complacent, self-righteonsuesB ?bout it whioh is quite provoking; but we will pass it by with .the simple remark, that it is unjust, uncalled for, and designed to effect no praise-worthy ead. In publishing.the card of Mr. Mont? gomery, wo did no more than what is customary under similar circumstances. We bad previously published, as a piece of news, an extract from tho Beaufort Republican, containing the statement made by Judge Melton in regard to Mr. Montgomery. The latter requested that we should publish his reply to the sumo, and wo did so, for we oould not well re? fuse Any .journal would havo done the same thing, with the exception, perhaps, of the' Neighbor, to which we willingly accord the privilege of being thankful that it is "not as others aro." -!-?V? ? Mn.' GnEEL.Br IN TUE WEST.-The on thusiasrh Which has greeted Mr. Greeley all along the route of his Western jour? ney is a sufficient answer to tho boasts of Grant's people that tho Liberal move? ment has lost its force. Nothing moro significant of its great power could be had than the reception in Pittsburg, a city whioh has been regarded aa a stronghold of Radicalism, and where, but a few days before, a noisy military convention had been held in the interest of the Administration. The citizons seem to have turned out cn masse, and with illuminations and bonfires and grand processions miles in length, show? ed how they honored their gncst. The response to Mr. Greeley's admirable speech will be found in a Liberal majo? rity in Pittsburg on the 8th of October. Tho deviltry of Harper's great "Jour? nal of Civilization" has never been sur? passed in American journalism. It hat. gone on from bad to worse, until itt columns riot in the grossest and mosl shameful caricature)) of the purest ace ablest men of the country. By its bit ter, proscriptive spirit, wo rejoice tc know that it bas almost entirely lost iti Southern circulation.

Correspondence of Hie Phoenix. WINNSBORO, S. C., Sopt. 23, 1872. There was a meetiug, to-day, of Be publicans disaffected with tho presen County ticket, to select a new one About 200 perdons were presont, an< though they exhibited considerable en thusiasm for their - respective favori tes great harmony prevailed.

Tho nomination of Mi Elliott is very acceptable to tho white; He is ono of- tue best citizons of Fail field, und his. nomination, unsolicited gives evidence of a better feeling of Tween tho: races.

Dan. Horrigan killed Pat.

John Boll now returns tho oom pli m eut with oom pound interest, and wipes orife old scores with "duo diligence"-a Yankee invention. British cruisers in tho Confederate service drovo American shipping from the ocean during the civil war. Thoy annihilated a magnificent marine, which exceeded ?,000,0U0 tonn, aud transported twfc-thirds of our foreign trade. lu three short years, this immense business was transferred to the British flag, where it remains to day, immensely augmented in valuo and profit by seveu years of peace. When the administration of Grant carne into office, tho first cry was u (lomond for reparation against Great Britain. Preparatory to ,thut step the Johnson-Clarendon treaty had been ro jcoted, beoause it only provided for indi? vidual i i; j uri- ?. The President would uot listen to anything less than damages which would atone for the destruction of commerce, insurauce, pursuit of the cruisers, and the expenses of tho war aftor Gettysburg. That was tho tono of his messages to Congress aud all tho cor? respondence. He usked, iu round num? bers, according to tim best estimates, $1,100,000,000, to make good tho uution ul and personal losses. Aftor much parade of this sort, a secret bargain was mado with Sir James Rose, a British banker, iii tue winter of 1870, by which a board ol arbitration was to be estab? lished to arjjudioatu these claims. That bargaiu soon took form afterwards, and was followed by tho treaty, which carno near breaking down several times, both before and since tho meeting ut Geneva, by conflicting constructions of its lan? guage. Well, tho arbitrators commenced by kicking out of doors in thu most uu hnndsomo manner tho whole ?1,100,000, 000, and refusing to take auy notice, of Mr. Fish's supplicatory appeal to estab? lish "a principle" in regard to claims for iudirect losses. Theu adoptiug tho thoughts and the figures of Mr. Cobden in tho Houso of Commons, they fouud Great Britain guilty of arming, equip? ping and harboring tho cruisors, mid awarded tho Uuited States "a sum iu gross" of ?15,500,000 to cover every? thing! Now, what is tho practical result of this judgment? 1. Englaud secures thc carry? g trude, which is worth nearly ?100,000,000 a year. 2. Englaud secures a treaty by which the United States aro bound to keep the police of American waters and ports, iu case Englaud should bo engaged in fo? reign war, or a revolt in Ireland, so that no ships or arms can ba sold or trans? ported to any belligerent. 3. England secures a receipt iu full for all past depredations upon American commerce, aud a pledge of future aud fraternal friendship, for having outwit? ted the Yankees. Besides all these benefits, England is to have a large award from tho commis? sion to sutllo British claims, which will perhaps offset tho allowance at Genova. It would never do for the shrewed diplo? matists, who have managed to mako the President, Secretary of State, commis? sioners, counsel, agent and arbitrators, tho instruments of their success, to ex? hibit any joy which might provoke popu? lar resentment. So my Lord Cockburn was conveniently sullen, and tho Tory press have been told to clamor against tho award, by way of soothing the hot spirit of poor Jonathan. lu dollars and couts, the verdict is ?15,500,000 to tho United States, from which must be de? ducted the awurds of the British claims yetto bo mado. That is our side of the account. England gets ?100,000,000 a year of carrying trade, and u commerce enlarged by nevon years of peaceful mo? nopoly. That is the Grant way of doing business with foreign nations, and espe? cially with our greatest rival. Aud wo are asked to throw up our caps und shout ourselves hoarso over thia "great achievement," as it is called by tho pa? triots and presses wearing tho Grant livery. After having buscdy surrendered every pretension, and being humiliated by a settlement which udds insult to in? jury, tho Administration, which has thus abjectly abandoned American rights,-hus tho audacity to claim credit for its dis? honoring submission, incompetency and craven retreat.- Washington Patriot. Tho American people have now au op? portunity to cont?mplate tho strange spectacle of a Stuto official in jail for his honesty, aud not for his knavery. In? deed, it ia probable that if ho were moro pf a 'rogue, ho could have established closer relations with tho authorities, who would then tuko bettor caro of him thau send him to jail. But Jua. Graham, Stuto Auditor of Louisiana, is iu prison, be? cause ho refused to pay a judgment claim of ?17,000 against"tho State, on the ground of manifest illegality. Tho court had ordered tho Auditor to pay tho money, but as it involved au ultimate ss of nearly 81,000,000, and perhaps oro, to tho State, he refused. So, by a sort of legal snap gamo, tho Auditor was sent to prison. Tho court said: "The Auditor is morally right, but legally wrong." Tho casu would have boen paralleled io New-York cit v, a couple of years ago, if Comptroller Connolly, for example, hail refused to pay any of tho bogus judgment ft against the city signed by tho ocrrupt Barnard judioiary. Tho New Orleans press unanimously endorse Auditor Graham's course, and the chances aro that bo will bo promoted from bis prison to about as high a place as tho people of the State eau elect him to fill.

THE NEGVBO'S FUTURE HOME.-The New York Herald, of Tuesday, bas two columna on "our negro population-its political iufluoucu ana labor movements,*' it argues that thu negro, being adapted by notare to a tropical climate, and beitfg averse to unnecessary labor, will ulti? mately go from Delaware, Marylan?l, Virginia, Missouri, North Carolina and Kentucky, and from tbe tipper and mid? dle seotions of Tennessee, South Caro? lina and Georgia, to tho moro extreme portions of the South, where production is more spontaneous, clothing .lighter and cheaper, fuel less needed and costly habitations unnecessary. We subjoin tho concluding paragraphs of tho herald's article: Two leading deductions may at this day be mude: 1. There is and will bo a steady exodus of the negro population Southward und into tho tropics. 2. It will cluster in districts where the arabio land is friable and easily worked, where vegetation is most spontaneous, aud where agriculture will return the largest products or wages with the least labor. These people have little individuality, andar? very gregarious; the current of migration will be swelled by their procli? vity to follow their "crowd." This dis position draws them to villages, towns and cities. A false pride since emanci? pation, and on appreciation of the "greatness thrust upon them," have pro? duced au aversion to menial service; they confound it with slavery, which it re? sembles. But they will enduro it, if they can obtain with it association, "liuery, music aud splurge," itt Whioh they de? light. In those districts where their population once becomes sensibly dimi? nished, a rapid disappearance will ensue. Personal proclivities govern them much moro iu their local changes than do policy or politics. A wide field for whito immi? grant laoor is steadily opening ia the Northern and middle States of the Sooth; and on the movement of the co? lored race largely depends its own ulti? mate fate in America. It may result in their colonization. PRAYER ANSWERED-A MIRACLE IN NEW YOKE-STOLEN PROPERTY RECOVERED. There is a house on Fifteenth fatreet, New York, in which a regular prayer moeting has beeu held weekly for over twenty years. Lust week, a youug lady boarding in the house heard some one in her room at night. It proved to bo a burglar, who stripped the room, carrying (di, among other things, a new silk dress aud a gold watch belonging to thu young lady. Tho watch was highly prized as belonging to her father, who some time ugo was shot by a burglar. Saddened by tho loss, and not knowing anything else to do, the young lady shut herself ? up in her room, and began to pray for the recovery of her lost goods, especially for her new silk dress aud watch. A day or two afterward, at tho edge of the evening, a bundle was left at the base? ment door; it contained the watoh and the new dress. A piece of brown paper, soiled, torn aud jagged, had on it some writing, evidently by one not accustomed to tho fino arts. The noto stated that tho writer had robbed the house, was immediately takcu sick, and could get no peace of body or mind. He had con eluded, therefore, to return those things, but the rest he hud parted with. If be lived, be would earn money euough to pay tho balance. Tho young lady has no doubt that the goods were returned in direct answer to her prayer. [Boston Journal. Au exceedingly dramatic contribution to nursery literature is the story of a domiciliary visit lately made by a num? ber of bouncing bugaboos belonging to the Missouri K. K. The night wau dark, tho household drowsed, when from his sleep its head was roused by shouts of a ferocious kind, proceeding down the midnight wind. They meant, of course, a K. K. gang. Up from his bed tho good mau sprang, as through the door there poured a host led by a masked and hor? rid ghost. This interesting object looked as largo and awful as ho could, waved a pistol round in a dreadful manner, scrunched his teeth, and inquired in a very loud and ogreish voice, like Jack's traditional giant, "Who has beeu (deal? ing carn? Who is too lazy to support his family about here? Who has boen telling tales?" Howevor much these terrille and pertinent questions struck terror^o the soul of tho victim, he yet found strength to answer mildly but firm? ly, "No one." Whereupon tho spectre leador, or tho howling avenger, with a final scrunch, observed, "Well, Nivons, you can go to bed," and departed with his fearful crew. Tho unparalleled atro? city of this act ought to furnish forth Administration speeches for tho next four weeks at least.

SOUTH CAROLINA MONUMENT ASSOCIA? TION.-COLUMBIA, S. C., September 20, 1872.-The Board of Directors of the South Carolina Monument Association, encouraged by tho success of the bazaar, last year, and yielding to the urgent request of a great number of persons, take pleasure in announcing that they will open a "monument restaurant" at the fair grounds, on the first day of the fair, and will not close their sales until after the distribution of prizes. This restaurant is entirely under the control of the Board of Directors of the associa? tion, aud the Executive Committee is appointed from their number. Lunches will be served from ll A. M. till 4 P. M. Contributions of meats and poultry, ns well as of money are solicited, and may be sent to either of the following ladies, who compose the Executive Com? mittee: Mrs. J. T.

CERT IN BEHALF OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA MONUMENT ASSOCIATION.-The Board of Directors of the South Carolina Monu? ment Association beg to announce that a concert in behalf of their association will be given in Columbia, early in Novem? ber. A number of celebrated amateur performers of this place, besides seve? ral gentlemen from other parts cf the State, have generously lent their services for the occasion. The programme and full particulars of tho concert will be published some weeks prior to the fair, so that persons residing in distant parts of the State may avail themselves of this opportunity to enjoy a rich musical treat. Tho Monument Association has pur? chased a site for the Confederate monu? ment, and hopes soon to lay the corner? stone. A large sum is still needed to complete the work, and we appeal to all for aid-to those whose privilege it was to fight by the side of the gallant dead whoso deeds we commemorate; to the mothers and wives of these men; to their children, who, in years to come, are to redeem South Carolina; and lastly, to those who love liberty and who honor the past and pray for the futuro of our beloved State. SOUR STOMACH.-If the food taken into tho stomach is not digested, it de? composes. In the latter case, a pungent gas is developed, which causes sour eructations, or else the stomach itself secretes un acid, which, rising upward, at intervals stings the 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 the gastric organs with Hostet ter's Bitters. It will not answer to post? pone the great corrective with the idea that the unpleasant 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, lt is true, that all these disagreeables may be obviated by a course of the Bitters; but how much wiser to anticipate their ar? rival with one or two doses of that sore preventive of indigestion and strength? ener of the alimentary organs. S21f3^1 "Mr. Greeley's speeches," says the New York World, "without exception, have been excellent, and, perhaps, it is not over-praise to say, admirable. Brief when the occasion calls for brevity; longer when the ocaasion justifies more fullness, but never prolix or tedious, perpetually varied, according to the au? dience; simple, spontaneous, unstudied, but the off-hand utterances of a man of stable, earnest convictions; free from in? vective or any approach lo discourtesy ; and suffused with the healing spirit of magnanimous patriotism, which seems to flow as from an inexhaustible fountain, theso ever-ready and always portinent speeches will raise Mr. Greeley vastly in the estimation of hie countrymen."
