COLUMBIA, S. C. Batarjay Horning, September 28,1872. For President of th* United States. MOU ACE OBBELEY. Of RtW York. For Viae-Prestdent B. GRATZ BHOWK, or BUatoari. TH? Presidential Campaign. There bas been, until within the past week or ten days, an evident loll in the Presidential race between Greeley and Grant since the middle of August. This occurred aa a matter of course, and though unavoidably dampening the ardor of tho many warm supporters of Mt. Gre ley, could not seriously dis? hearten, the intelligent observer. It was unreasonable to expect that the wild enthusiasm wbiqb inspired the public heart afc tho inauguration of the Liberal movement-, and during its process of development, could be maintained OD a stretch of four or five months. The time bad to come when the accessions from the Radical to the Liberal Republi? can ranks should cease, so far, at least, as leading and influential men are con? cerned. It was this whioh caused the "dying out of Greeley enthusiasm," SB the Grautites were pleased to term it. There has not boen, and there cannot bo, any counter-current iu Grant's favor. He and his party must stand or fall upon the record whioh they have made during the four years in whioh they have admi? nistered the Government. There can be no turn in the tide for Grant. He has been losing ground from the very com? mencement of the Liberal movement. He mast continue to be pushed back? ward, moro or less rapidly, until the day ef eleotion in November. He eau make no advance. He is on the defensive, and the only hope he oan have is that he may still keep together a sufficiency of his shattered battalions to claim the field, when the sun sholl have set on the,me? morable 5th of November. Recently, Shore han been a visible brightening in the Liberal horizon; not that there ha's been any recent great changes, but an opportunity baa boon Afforded to form some correct estimate of the strength of liberalism in the great West. The sage of Obappaqua has been mak? ing a 'tour through Pennsylvania, Ken? tucky, Indiana, Ohio, &o., and his trip has b eon. one series of ovations. Tono citizen of the country has there ever been given such manifestations of en? thusiastic! honor and esteem. He is hailed every where as the great paoifloator of the country, and every speech he has made has been a ten-strike for the noble cause of whioh he is the standard bearer. The concourse of citizens to greet him at the different stopping places along his route bas been unprece? dented in point of numbers and warmth of reception. The great West is the vigorous mother of the Liberal move? ment, and it is certainly most encourag? ing to witness these evidences of its in? creasing popularity in that mighty sec? tion. In Pennsylvania the prospect is most assuring. Upon the election in that State, which takes place on the 8th of October, it is now very generally con? ceded the Presidential contest will hinge. If Pennsylvania elects Buckalow for Go? vernor, she will give ber electoral vote to Greeley in November, and her vote in the electoral college will determine tho result. Success in the Pennsylvania State eleotion will, moreover, insure all the doubtful States to Greeley. Andrew G. Curtin, the popular war Governor of Pennsylvania, and the most influential Republican in tho State, has recently de? clared unequivocally for Buckalow, and accepted a nomination from the Iliberal Republicans^ as a delegate to the State Constitutional Oonvontiou. His acces? sion is regarded on all sides as rondering the aucofcss of ?bey Liberal oanse in his State os almost certain. He is also a statesman of national r?putation? and his support of Greeley, not certainly known until lately, hos lent no little im philo tjo f ho [good cau se.' ?o a>o fias the aj??esai'on of iHksB&urek, of Ohio, J Ger? man of influence uamoog his brethren Schurz. I Every ende^rvorV 'hbw?ver desperate, is being put forth by the Administra? tion to halo oat tho resujt fn.; November and tho Oeiobor elections. *Evefy possi? ble spring set to catch the unwary vote. Nothing will ; bo lof t tindon?' whereby a city, a distriot, or a State may be carried for Grant; and onr special despatches note daily th3 delegations sent from the Washington department to bolster up n weak voto in a doubtful section. These nomads should be watched. Many of them have voted in olose elections at the capital, and it should be seen that they are not granted the double privilege. Fraud must bo met and overcome by great vigilance. There will be abundant need of it. ' - -^twwBPwnwwcwwww ???".; ... .. .... . RECONCILIATION AND POBIFIOATION. In his Indianapolis speeoh, Mr. Greeley pithily.announced. tho two watob-worels of the present oaqvass ?as> reconciliation and purification. It is hard to say winch; is the m pro important. The two toge* ther ate Jjeoognizeid by all disinterested and patriotic men as essential to the restoration of the former penco and hap? piness of the country. Even if tho Union ba thoroughly reconstructed on principles of jostiopi and equality, this would be only a partial and temporary good, if what Mr. Greeley calls tho can? cer of corruption ia permitted to eat oat ita vitals. We need purification quite as muon as reconciliation. Honest admi? nistration of public affairs in Congress, in the State Legislatures, in municipal government, is felt to be the great want of tho country. So strong and pervad? ing has been the sense of this in the dublto mind, that we see in such States as New York and Pennsylvania party ties ignored, and in the former State, within a year past, Democrats united with Republicans in sweeping away a corrupt administration, while now, in the latter State, Republicans are uniting with Democrats to bring about a tho? rough and radical reform of existing abuses, and put publio affairs in the hands of tlioao who will honestly and faithfully perform official duties. Mere par ti nan .demagogues and mercenary, traders in politics, who seek from rapa? cious and knavish, motives to obtain the control of legislation, whether national, State or municipal, may see in tho com? binations whioh honest men of all par? ties are beginning to form against them their corning doom; for, as was truly said in a late New York reform meeting, the men who plunder the people will be excluded from public office, if the people will only act in concert. THE COLUMBIA TRAGEDY.-The Cam? den Journal, in a Christian-liko spirit, oomments aa follows on the unfortunate affair: "The details of this shocking and bloody catastrophe have sickened the | hearts of tho good people of this com? munity. While their hearts and (let us hope) their prayers go ont in sympathy with the suffering innocents, upon whom this frightful calamity has inflicted life? long agonies, there is a aensure agitating the publio mind, more than usually weighty, against the causes to whioh this deed of blood is to be traced. Such events bring with them their lessons fresh from a Divine Teacher, and they may not be left unheeded. "This speaks trampet-toDgaed warn? ings against unwarranted and unnecessa? ry assaults upon private character. "Against unnecessary and, perhaps, exaggerated reports of such assaults, made in newspapers, in language well calculated to inflame the mind and excite to violent resentments. "Against yielding too readily to tho sentiments thus aroused, and publishing expressions in reply, intended to invito to deadly conflict. "Against responding to such invita? tions in violation of law, Immun uod Divine. "Against frequenting pot bouses and har-routna, and seeking tho society of those who invite, or seek to engage in deadly strife. "Against that too common aud wholly indefeasible and weak practice of carry? ing deadly weapons} in tho midst of un enlightened if nota Christian communi? ty; relying upon thom for protection, rather than upon Him whoso hand sus? tains tho universe, the laws of the land, or the conscious strength of a trno and upright manhood." A YOUNO MEN'S PEOQBESSIVE PAUTY. It seems to us that there could bo no organization more fitting and proper in these days of political demoralization than that of a Young Men's Progressive party-a party forming a nucleus for the gradual absorption of all tho ele? ments in favor of eclecticism, or culling from all politic*! parties those principles embraced by thom respectively which are founded upon the immutable laws of justice and right. Such an organiza? tion, eschewing any responsibility for tho past, on account of the identification of its members with the political retro? spect of South Carolina, would inevita? bly, though doomed perhaps to defeat at first, triumph in the end. It is only by a consistent clinging to that whioh is pure' in government, that a people at? tains pre-eminence in statecraft There is .noolnsB so well fitted to undertake such a glorious work as a young mon's progressive party, whioh will blaze ont for itself ty new path, and fearlessly walk therein-unawed by temporary reverses, and resolved to hold the geales of justice equally balanced in their hands. Groat and mighty ohanges nave been wrought in tho political status of tho South, Young men who have grown up, as it were, with these changed relations, can better loavo the. old woil-beaten ruts of th? past (han those whoso Wholo life-long training inclines them to hug to their bosoms the effete issues of former days.

THE GERMANS AND THB CONFEDERATES Political affinities, hardly lesa than per? sonal relationships, are uffeotod by roi nate and often trtftaroiroamstanoeai It may pot be, as Hrs. Malaprop contend? ed, that it is batter to bogia with a little aversion; but it: >si ooitaioly true-that many of the strongest attachments have sprang from advers?, add oven hostile, beginnings. We need not go ont of our way for illustrations. Cousiderod psy? chologically, theed is nothing unusual in the onshaeianm with whioh tho South has rallied to thp support of Horace Greeley. It belongs to the commonality of human nature. It.is tho outgrowth of circumstances and conditions which have been warmed by generous impulses; and, from its germ to its development, each stage of its progress through the mind and heart of the people cao be easily traced. The mero bailing of Jeff. Davis-a trivial incident in affairs-(be? cause the Southern people never wore, and certainly are not now, particularly in lovo with Jeff. Davis)-did much to bring Mr. Greeley into rapport with tho Confederate element. In like manner, the close personal relationship whioh has sprung up between Carl Schnrz and the Confederate elements in Missouri and Tennessee has matured, or is maturing, into a strong bond of union between the German people and the Southern people. To be sure, these ?-mal? things are not recognized as causes, but as COOBO quencos upon some preoeding, and per? haps unseen, force. They are only straws. But they show which way the wind blows, and aro not to be left out of the general account. The German people and the Southern people did not at first agree. There was u black gulf between them. The re? moval of this brings them into practical accord on many points. The South, aspiring and appreciative, naturally sympathizes with German culture; and, poor and prostrate, has pressing ncod of German thrift. Wherever the German oomes he brings with him civilization. Moreover, he rarely comes enipty-baud od. There is no part of tho country which is so well adapted to the diffusion of this civilization as the South. The climate is soft and kind; the popular taste is flexible. There is in the Sooth, us there is not in the North, au idealistic tendency, which harmonizas with Ger? man thought. There is love for music. There is social adaptability. These natural conditions have been sharpened by circumstances. Travel, tho need of pern o n ul exertion, has vitalized the Ger? man people in America. They left their moss ut homo. They curry no dead weight. War and the need for personal exertion have invigorated the Southern people, and as the old fogy Bet passes away the now South will more aud more assimilate to the enterprising and pro? gressive spirit of the Germans. It is our joint interest now to break down pro? scription and ta bnild up reform. But before we have achieved this purpose wo should be comrades, fellow-soldiers in a great cause, and on the basis of political interest there will spring u sentimental fellowship, the parent of a great system of immigration and a largo nnd useful popular culture. Schnrz and Kassau rek came from different part? of Germany. It is un? derstood that there is no great love be? tween them. lu this country, however, thoir interests are identical. They are not rivals. They are both uble men. They are both representative men; and it is for the people to bring out their best uses to tho best purpose. There is as little clash between thom as between the States they inhabit; and, having hope for their future, wo are not without hope oven for Stallo and Diugir. Noither the election nor tho dofeat ol' Mr. Gree? ley will uifect these suggestions. Mr. Greoley is not tho German's ideal re? former. But he is a perfect representa? tive of peace, which is tho first step to? wards roform. Elected or defeated, his candidacy has laid tho foundations of our Liberal fabric. DON'T HOKEY YOUR COTTON.-Tho Co? lumbus (Ga.) Sun learns that tho largest warehouse firm in that city bas notified planters to whom they mado advances to cease hurrying so much cotton to market. Tho effect of this action on tho part of planters is to produco a /also impression regarding thu crop, as spinners in tho North and Europe look aloue to receipts as tho basis of their estimates. Cotton has been forwarded rapidly because caterpillars and rust have stripped the leaves from tho plant and loft the bolls exposed to tho sun. Tho great amount ! of cotton already sout to market has looked up an immense amount of J.IOI. >y, and hence has depressed prices. Tnis firm believes that tho lowest point in price will bo reaohod in thirty, or, ut farthest, in sixty days. At that time, with receipts diminishing, and tho faot of a' short crop becoming apparent, quo? tations must again go upwards, and the country profit thereby. No hope is en? tertained ia any quarter, of a late crop. Wo give tho conclusions of this Co? lumbus firm for what they may be worth, simply remarking that none ol oar farm? ers should hesitate to consult with tho merchants to whom they are indebted for guano and supplies, aud obtain the bone tit of their experience in tho cotton market before acting upon tho advice of others. It is the highest duty of every one to deal frankly and honestly in such matters, and there should bo a perfect understanding between tho morohantand farmer on the propriety of following tho advice of outsiders, sinoo their iuterests are mutually depond?ut upon eaoh other.

PENNSYLVANIA, OHIO AND INDIANA. It is already known that an extended Kystom (or colooiziog DRgroes in these States, from Kentucky, Virginia, Mary? land and the District of Columbia, bas been- concocted by Morton, Cameron, Chandler nod the Grant committees. These blacks have been moving towards their diff?rant destinations during the last three weeks, in charge of Radical agents, whose duty it is to distribute thom frum various contrai points. The concurrence of testimony from towns on the Ohio and from the railroads in Pennsylvuuia would be conclusive, if in? vestigation did not remove all doubt that an enormous fraud has been projected, ?ind will be carried out unless steps are promptly taken to arrest and punish the rascals who are engaged in this business. Another scheme is confined to Wash? ington for the votiog material, whioh is proposed to be smuggled into these States, and fraudulently crowded into the ballot-box. At tho election here last year-April 20, 1871-for delegate to Congress and the Distriot Legislature, it is estimated that between 3,000 and 4.000 clerks were required to vote the Graut ticket. AB they had been accus? tomed to vote in the States from whioh they were respectively appointed, a ques? tion of qualification arose. It was held by the law officers that a change of domicile by order of tho Government did uot deprive a voter of bis r?sidence in the Stute from which be hailed, unless the voter, by his own not, acquired a new residence elsewhere. Under that ruling, these clerks, elected to become citizens of the Distriot of Columbia, re? nounced their former residence and voted here, an we have stated. Every man of them thus voluntarily relin? quished his right of suffrage at home, just as if be had removed to another State, and thereby acquired all the bene? fits of citizenship here. There is a plan on foot to send these clerks to Pennsyl? vania, Ohio and Indiana, with the de? sign of voting them in those States, while they are only legal voter? in Washington, and made BO by their own choice. They are disfranchised in every State. To vote elsewhere would be a felony, which ought to be followed by criminal prosecution ou the spot. They could only establish or renew a right to vote in the States, by acquiring a new rcsidonce ?ike any other oitizeo, who removes from one State or Territory to another. It matters not, so far as tho legal right is concerned, whether these clerks voted iu Washington within a year or not. That quibble is too thin for service. Tho point is, that they changed resi? dence to vote here in April, 1871, and until another residence is ucqnired else? where by legal methods, they are de? prived of a vote in any State. Nothing is clearer. They cannot be qualified voters in Pennsylvania, Ohio and In? diana, as well os in the Distriot of Co? lumbia, at the same time. A voting re? sidence here is inconsistent with a voting residence elsewhere. Now, we hope that the utmost vigi? lance will bo exercised in regard to this iutended fraud. The registry lists of this city contain the names of the clerks who abandoned their State residence and adopted the District. They are known in all their localities, and it will bo safe, as a rule, to challenge every Washington official who may claim to vote in any State ut the ele iona ou the 8th of October.-Washingk Patriot.

A statute can only be repealed by impli? cation to the extent of its . repugnancy, or so far as the provisions of the old statute are incompatible with the new, and is never hold repealed unless the repugnanoy is plain and unavoidable, or unless the later Act takes some notice of the former, plainly indicating an inten? tion to abrogate it. The proposition that the general statutes of South Caro? lina are inoperative, because Section 2 of Chapter 110 declares that they "shall take effeot and go into operation from and after the - day of -"-the blanks never having beon filled-cannot apply to the positivo enactment of Maroh 9, 1872, as to the sitting of tho court for Fairfield, for its terms in referenoe there? to are direct, positive and mandatory. Besides, the title of the Act shows that the Code of Procedure, in the contem? plation of the Legislature, remained of force.
