COLUMBIA. S. C. Sunday S o rn int;, September 29,1872. For President of the United States. HORACE GREBLET. of New Torie. For Vice-President B. GRATZ DROWN, of JKIsaourl. Greeley and Amnesty. The Bag? of Obappaqua, in all his public utterances since his nomination, whioh have been numerous and admiro ble, has made amnesty tho grand theme of his patriotic appeals. It is not BO much tho un tuber of influentiol Southern men, who are proscribed bj the denial of A free and hearty amnesty, ngoinst whioh Mr. Greeley inveighs; bnfc the foot that even a partial discrimination against certain men at the Sooth acta as a thorn in the sides of tho people and prevents that mutual good will and con? fidence between the North and South, upon whioh only a sound and lasting anion of the States oau be based. Am? nesty ia not now BO mnob in itself, bot as a means of reconciliation it is a de? sirable aot of justice to the South. The men who are proscribed from holding office are of the best and most prominent of our citizens; and they have commit? ted no crime against the Geuoral Go? vernment in whioh the humblest con? federate has not shared, and for which lie ?B not partly responsible. It is absnrd to assume, as many of oar JNorthorn brethren, even intelligent ones, do, that tho Sooth was forced into seces? sion by a few bold, bod men, the "aluvu oligarchy," and that the masses of the ?people were opposed to a disruption of the Union. The desire for Southoru in? dependence was moro universal by far at the South than was the purpose to main? tain the Union at the North. A people were never before, and can never in the future be, more unanimous upon any subject, than were the people of the South upon the question of secession. As to the right of secession, we believe wo i are in bounds when we say that it waa absolutely unquestioned, and as to the expediency and necessity of its im? mediate exercise after the election of Mr. Lincoln, there was but the slightest difference of opinion. We thought we had a right to secede and that the time had arrived for its as? sertion-and we made tho assertion. Young aud old, men and women, rich and poor, ignorant and educated, we were all of one mind as nearly as it was possible for 8,000,000 of people to be. The singling out of certain leading Southern men, however few in numbers, as the marks of the nation's reproof and condemnation, is a humiliation and stinging affront to all our people, and mnst inevitably be so regarded. It is thus that a denial of amnesty creates ill feeling and distrust between the sections, and having such an effect is the chief hindrance to that sincere re-union for which only th ? better men of the North spilled tboir blood nod spent their trea? sure. Reconciliation should have pre? ceded rcconstrnotion, for, if it had, many of the Sonthern States would not to-day be cursed with the iufamons govern? ments whiob uncompromising sectional hate, as represented by the present Fede? ral Administration, has fastened upon them. It cannot now bo delayed longer with safety to the republic. A continu? ance for four years more of erich a spirit as has omanated from Washington since 1868, will leave tho South but slightly in advance of Hay ti or San Domingo. ? Nat tum lol Barnwell fur Solicitor. We are pleased to seo that such a ca? pable and reliablo man and lawyer as Mr. Barnwell, has been nominated for the responsible position of Solicitor of our Circut, and particularly pleased that he has boen put in nomination by Re? publicans. If tho best and most intelli? gent citizens wero allowed the untram? melled privilege of selecting a Solicitor for the Circuit, they could fix upon no more excellent man. His fine legal at? tainments, solid, sterling charaoter, ener? getic business habits, and catholic, un? partisan sentiments, all oombine to ren? der him peculiarly adopted to fill suoh an office. It is a down-right ploasuro, in these days of official corruption and doubtful candidates, to have an opportunity of supporting a nominee of genivine worth and spotless character. We commend Mr. Barnwell to the honest suffrages of tho voters of oar Circuit, without re? spect to race or political bias. He has been acting Solicitor for months past, on account of the feeble health of Mr. Talley, and has given cntiro satisfaction to all classes of our people. He knows no. mau or party in tho dis? charge of official duty, nud:it is his just, impartial coarse, wo doubt not, which hes prompted a number of oolorod men and Republicans to pat bim forward as a candidate. To the white peoplo in the Fifth Circuit, there need no word of commendation from as to seoare their hearty support of Mr. Barnwell. Those {Who may not know him, know of whom he ie, and may feel assured he is a "chip of the old block."

A FATED THRONE.-It is somewhat re? markable that during tho last 200 years, no King or Emperor was succocded by his eon on the French throne. Louis XIV followed his father, Louis XIII, on the throne ia 1643. Ho was succeeded by Philip of Orleans, his nephow, as regent for Louis XV, a minor, great grand-son of the great Louis. He again was followed by his grand-son, Louis XVI, who was guillotined. Next came the republic and the first empire. Upon the restoration, it was Louis XVIII, brother of the murdered sixteenth, who re-inaugurated legitimacy. He was suc? ceeded by his brother, Charles X, and ho again by his cousin, Louiu Phillipe. Again republic and empire, but still no father succeeded by his SOD. TALE OF A MISER WHO LOVED IN A CAVE ANO GOT RICH MININO LEAD.-A corres? pondent says: There is a shade of romanee connected with another lead cave whioh I visited. There poor old Tom Kelly lived and died-poor, though rioh. Tom was an uneducated Irishman, and when he had discovered his oave, kept the faot to him? self. Ho smelted his own ore and car? ried his lead down to tho river bank, secretly, until he had hidden in the bank about $12,000 worth of lead. This ho shipped and went with it down the river, reshipping it nt Now Orieaus and going with it to New York, where ho sold it, takiug his pay in gold. Perhaps the gold was bouvier than the lead. At all events, poor Tom sat do wu with his mo? ney bags to rest, and, as he waa a dirty looking old follow, some boys collected around him and commenced poking fun at him. A great fear seized Tom-a fear for his money bags. He snatched them up and started to run for tho dock, where his boat was lying. The boys followed, hooting. Tom stumbled and fell. Ono of the boys, ahead of the rest, came upon him. Tom drew a knife aud stab bod the boy through the heart. At the trial which ensued, it was Bhown that Tom Kelly was more than half crazed, and he was acquitted, but kept in con? finement as a lunatic. Here his instincts as a miner stood him in goad stead; he burrowed oat aud escapad. Before long, Tom was at work in his mine again, but he was now more secretive than ever. He built himself a sterno house, where each window was an embrasure, pointing out of whioh was a fixed loaded musket, and the only man who ever got enough into Tom's confidence to examino tho house, says that there waa also n fixed musket enfilading the doorway. He told this person that he was having au iron house built for himself, that he thought would bo more secure. In general, it was bat little, and only to mere children, that Tom ever spoke. And there came u day, some two years ago, when Tom found it necessary tu prepare to go to a house where ho is likely to be perma? nently safo. Two brothers, almost as uncouth as Tom himself, came hoveriug about tho dying man. Ho asked tho priest to briug a lawyer; aud wueu thia was effected, said: "If you will send them out," pointing to the two brothers, "I will tell all." But tho brothers would not go out of the house, und Tom died aa mute as he had lived. Application to the proper authorities in New York re? covered Tom's gold, which he had been too much frightened to upply for after his escape. Tho brothers left not one stone of tho house upon another, and they found about 320,000 in gold hidden in and around it. Out of Tom's cave, they took, in addition, it is believed, ore to the value of not less than $100,000. They divided their treasure as they found gold or gold ore, by dealing out coin or bills as if it were cards at poker, one to each alternately. What is left of Tom Kelly's real estate looks like tho debris of an earthquake. FOLLOWING FATHER HYACINTHE'S EX? AMPLE.-Father Hyacinthe's example will be followed, it would appear, by a large number of French priests, who, the Pairie states, are going to renou nco pub? licly their vows of celibacy. Tho pub? licity of the renunciation is tho chief novelty connected with the marriage of priests in France. The Paris Journal is a supporter of the throne aud altar, and held in favor at the Archiepiscopal paluce behind Notre Dame. And ib says that in the diocese of Paris alone the average number of priests who marry is from twenty to thirty in the year. It men? tions that when tho Abbe Michaud an? nounced to the Archbishop his intention to take a wife he met with no opposition. All that was said to him was, "Marry hinco you most, but make no noise about it." The Fronoh priests aspiring to matrimony have great difficulty in per? suading women of respectable rank to ospouso them. There is (saya a Paris correspondent) both a strong prejudice against churchmen who break their vows ot' colibucy, and a legal hindrance to their gutting married. The nullity of a priest's marriage was established a few years ago in a celebrated suit in which Madame Claude Viguou, tho accomplished Par? liamentary correspondent of the Inde? pendence Iielje, was plaintiff. This lady, who has just become tho wife of M. Bou? vier, a Marsellies deputy, had not much trouble in putting away her first hus? band, because he had been in holy orders boforo she married him. Tho children boru of tho marriage went to the mother, for tho father was incompetent to give them so muoh as the quasi legal status of en/ants reconnus. Jules Favre exerted all his eloquence on behalf of tho repu? diated husband; but the tribunal boforo which the case was brought ruled that "marriage with the church precludes civil matrimony." This jurisprudence is a disgrace to French society. But it is a fact whioh should not be overlooked by ladies who fancy French priests. Oue who knows says that German worooa prefer the man who is agreeable and keeps his word strictly. French women chooso a man with open brow and smiling countenance. Tho Bussinn females prefer a countryman of their own, who looks upon Western nations as barbarians. The Danish women romain closely at home, and desiro to hear no? thing of travel abroad. Tho Spanish woman selects a man capable of aveng? ing his honor and her owu. The Hol? lander ono who is peaceable in his ways, and desires never to hear of strife and war. And the American ladies marry the earliest good offer they got, taking tho first man who will take them, caring nothing for his rank or social positioo, and still less whether ho bo halt, lamo, deaf and dumb or blind-if ho but hnvo plenty of money. How fortunato for us that we live in such a country! Tho total valuo of all known diamonds is SI,000,000,000, exclusive of Arizona and Alaska. NEW REXIOIOCS MOVEMENT.-Tho Old Catholics are holdiug a oongrees at Cologne. The occasion is a critical one, and the futuro of tho new movement depends very largely upon what it de? cides to do. Dr. Doll i tiger is a learned, wise and brave man, and has a respecta? ble following. The under-ourreat of German sympathy is unquestionably with him, and a largo body of Italian Catholics would probably join an organi? zation that is at onco Catholic and free. But just hero is the difficulty. Dr. Dol linger blames Luther for quitting tho church, and thus breaking the historic continuity of its traditions. He evi? dently inteuds to act the part of a Pro? testant and reformer within the old ecclesiasticism, lint his very act of re? bellion against tho Papal authority ex? communicates him. He is, to till intents and purposes, as much of an outsider to? day as Luther was when he nailed his thesis to tho church door. The faot that he still bolds to a great deal of the old Catholic doctrine makes no difference, so long as he denies the central authority and refuses obedience thereto. The difficulty of the new movement is en hunced by the fact that those most inte? rested in it are not sufficiently detached from Roman dogmas and traditions to comprehend the eutire situation, and ? squarely meet the issues ?iud satisfy the demand of tho new times. If they have the courage to act, they lack the light to seo what to do. If they organize, it will bo ns a new sect outside of the old fold. And if they turn their backs from Rome, they must turn their faces toward rea? son. Bnt how they can keep all the old und got all the new, have a personal Pope and obey only tho individual con? science, follow the traditions of the church and the decisions of che councils, and yet be true to the revelations of truth made through science and history und art and experience tc-day, are ques? tions which they find it very hard to au Hwer to their own satisfaction, much less that of anybody else.-Golden Agc. THE NEW REFORM PLAN OF THE OLD CATHODICS.-The congress of Old Catho? lics in Cologue adopted resolutions, juHt previous to the adjournment, favoring compulsory civil marriage, the payment of the clergy by the Stute, uud thc restoration of churches to tho old Catho? lic priesthood. This is a protty compre? hensive programme. The session was attended by a number of ladies. The question of compulsory civil marriage by the State being up for debate, this is uot to be wondered at, particularly after the success of Madame Hyacinthe in ob? taining u husbaud in London. The words, compulsory civil marriage by tho State, possessed an attraction, no doubt; for tho fair ones may have taken them to mean that every woman shall bo pro? vided with a helpmate by the govern? ments, or that they themselves should be married then and there, in Cologne, to Jonie German officer, after the fashion observed by Frederick the Great, who compelled good-looking, adventurous women to marry his soldiers nolens volens, with the view of sustaining the physical efficiencies of his armies. Then the restoration of churches to the Old Catholic priesthood-this smells of the ..fleshpots." A satirical, perhaps irreli? gious, writer iu England said that thc wealth aud church property of tho Ho? rnau Catholic episcopacy tended vastly to tho Protestant reformation. Tho reason of the dispute, said he, was "tho old woman had money and I had none." [New York Herald. THE GROUND BURNING UP.-Ono of tho strangest of pheuomena of tho times is reported to us from tho site of old Port Pillow, sixty milos abovo this city. It is no more or less than that tho bluff bauk of the river, which rises fifty or sixty feet abovo tho water level, is on fire, and for tho past several weeks has been steadily burning like a volcano for a distance of several hundred yards along the East side of the river, on a line ten or twelve feet abovo tho water level. At night a lurid flame or blaze of fire rises from the sides of tho bluff to a height of two or three feet, which then spreads into smoko and pusses on over the sum? mit of tho hill, distributing itself with tho atmosphere and floating away sky? ward. Tho steamer Coleste, on her lust trip, passed by tho placo in broad day? light, and at tho timo whon a light wind biew from tho shore, can ymg the smoke towards tho Arkansas shore and cover? ing tho river with a thick hazo almost liko fog. What strange combustible formation composes tho river bluff of the old fort, or what set it on fire, to burn after thc fashion described, is ouo of tho marvelous events of the times, and puz? zles the vicinity no littlo. Wo shall seek to be further informed upon this won? derful phenomena with no littlo curiosi? ty.-Memphis Avalanche, 21s/. TBE KHEDIVE OE EGYPT.-Ismail Pa? cha, Khedive of Egypt, is a man of liberal views. Ambitious, ho sends to tho West for officers of his army. Pro? digal and voluptuous, with all tho ani? mal passions of tho seusnous East; skeptical in religion and false in politics, bc has tho merit ut least of braving the bigotry of his subjects iu grautiug free? dom of religious worship to tho Christ? ians in his kingdom. Contact with tho moro enlightened civilization of thu East has rendered his views oven broader thau those of moro toleration. Efforts having been lntcly mado to esta? blish au Episcopal Church in Cairo, he has himself demited tho site for the edifice, a pieco of laud worth about $10,000. For a professed Mohammedan tho act is uupreeedonted, and by a Turk of tho old regime will bo looked upon with horror. * But Ismail Paoha is strong enough, with his trained army, his whito officers, and thc civilizing influences of thc iuflux of trado through the Suez canal, to defy prejudice and to throw off tho trammels of centuries. Gas in Londou costs ninety-two cents a thousand feot. A DEPUTY UNITED STATES MARSHAL AND FEDERAL SOLDIERS BREAK UP A RE? LIGIOUS MEETING.-A gentleman of re? spectability, residing in Cleveland Conu ty, N. C., writes as follows to the Wil? mington Journal: On Saturday, the 21st instant, a greut outrage was perpetrated in this Couuty, by officers and soldiers of the United States Government. While tho King's Mountain Baptist Association, a body representing over 3,000 communicants, was iu session at Bethlehem Church, ono Newton Loug, a Deputy United States Marshal, and one Archibald Moss, who Heomed to havo somo authority from Loug, rodu up, accompanied by a sqnad of armed Uuited States soldiers, detailed from Col. Hart's command in Lincoln ton, surrounded the church, and forbade the people to leave. Long and Moss were both drnnk, and Long cursed very freely. The proceedings of the Associa? tion were completely broken up. The pastor o' the church went out and en? deavored to persuade them to leave, and on their refusing to do so, the Sheriff of tho County arrested Long for disturbing a religious assembly. The soldiers cocked their guua upon tho Sheriff, and com? manded Long to oome out, Efforts were made tb induce them to behave, and they were promised that they would not be arrested further for violating the laws of tho State- and of the United States, if they would leavo the church grounds. They rode off in tho direction of the spring, nod many members of the Asso? ciation returned to the boneo, thinking they were gone. But they soon return? ed, and were galloping over tho church grounds with their guns and pistols, and broke up tho Association that oveniug. When the people started homo they found tho roads picketed by soldiers, who were nuder Long's command, and even women and children were arrested with guns pointed at thom, and com? pelled to await thu pleasure of this fel? low Long before they could get home. MOBS, I am informed by an eye-witness, cocked his pistol at a young lady who was driving off in o wagon, aud threaten? ed to shoot her if she didn't stop at once. Tho whole proceeding was an out? rage upon religious liberty, perpetrated by officers and soldiers of the Uuited States Government. Tho excuse they rendered for their conduct was that they wero searching for one Mayberry, who was charged with being a Ku Klux. The Administration, fully realizing tho fact that its fortunes are waning, has set in operation a new force by which it is expected that all the strong-minded women, those thut are willing to wear pantaloons and ride man-fashion, will immediately go to work making speeches for Grant. Highly important circulars are being sent ont from Washington marked confidential, and addressed to female stump BpceuhiTyers, who are called upon to form olnbs and work for tho election of Grant. Ono of the tribe, by tho name of Matilda Fletcher, has re? sponded, and, to make herself as con? spicuously ridiculous as possible, com? menced Bending her harangues to the four quarters of the country by tho Asso? ciated Press, but she has at last been squelched, aud the lightning will no longer be disgraced by her thunder. ADMIRAL O'KEIFFE, TUE NEWSDOY CA? DET.-It will be remombored thut some timo ago wo mentioned tho fact of this boy's appointment from the lower orders of New York to a cadetship in the Naval Academy of Annapolis. It was offered for competition among the public schools of tho Fifth Congressional District, and was wou by a poor newsboy, who earned his scanty living by selling newspapers in tho streets. O'Keiffe left New York yesterday, for his futuro home at An? napolis, und bears with him tho good wishes of tho oity, inasmuch as his ap? pointment and advancement will bo re? garded as a test between democracy and aristocracy. His course will be watched by tho prosa and public of the great me? tropolis. He is a bright and activo young lad, aud, no doubt, has a brilliant future beforo him. A DISABLING DISEASE.-No disease which does not confino a man to his bed so completely unfits him for business as dyspepsia. When the stomach is foul, the brain is alwayt i/>.uddy and cuufused, aud as the cares und anxieties of life are a sufficient burden for the organ of thought to bear, without being torment? ed by the miseries born of indigestion, it is highly dosirabie for the brain's sake, us well as for the sake of every other portion of the system, that the disor? dered stomach should bo restored with tho utmost despatch to a healthy, vigor? ous condition. This object can always bo accomplished by a coarse of Hostet tor's Stomach Bitters, the purest and best of vegetable specifics, whioh evacu? ates the morbid humors tbroagh tho bowels, rouses and tones the torpid stomach and regulates the liver, imparts firmness to tho nerves and dears the sen8orinm of its mental cobwebs. Per? sons subject to attaoks of indigestion, bilious headache, irregularity of tho bowels, sickness at tho stomach or "the blues," should take the Bitters onco or twice a day throughout the present sea? son. B20f3 It is reported that a new religious sect, known ns the "Amanians," and number? ing about 1,500, has sprung up in Iowa. Tho now community is composed en? tirely of Germaus. They havo purchased about 30,000 acres of land on ?be line of tho Rock Island Railroad, and have built several mills aud manufactories. All property is held in common, and the affairs of tho society aro managed by fifteen "fathers." Each person is al? lowed to draw u certain amount from the common stores yearly, and no member is given any wages or money for personal expenses. Religious services aro held every doy, but of their character we ore not informed. 1 cs o at x It &1O0L m - Cm MATTERS.-The price of single oopios of the PHOENIX is five oeuts. A large and varied lot of cards, suita? ble for weddings, invitations, visiting and business purposes, have just been re? ceived at this office, which, owing to thc dull season, will be printed at low rates. Tim. Hurley is in trouble. His .'Hurleyville" property is advertised for sale by the Sheriff. A notice of importance is published this morning, by Messrs. J. A. Hendrix & Bro. "Memorandums" have played out. Tho Rev. J. L. Reynolds has returned to the oity, and will preojh at the Baptist Church this morning. The Greenville train did not arrive, last night, until about 10 o'clock, tho de? lay being caused by the run-off: of two cars of a freight train, above Helena. Nobody hurt. The following is tho programme for to-morrow afternoon, at the garrison grounds: Newport Quickstep-J. F. C. Smith. Selection lrom Fra Diavalo-Auber. Flora Quadrille-Strauss. Overture Cenerentola-Rossini. Friendship Galop-FauBt. There was great .complaint about the gas, last night. Stir up things, Mr. Su? perintendent. The ohess party at the Columbia Hotel attracts a great many visitors nightly. On Friday afternoon, as Gen. Dennis was riding with a lady, two nurses and two of bis children in his carriage, when ia the immediate vicinity of Mr. George Shields' machiae shop, going up the hill, tho whistle blew, frightening his horses so they sprang immediately to t he left, against the fence, and turned around tho other way, breaking one of the whif fle-trees, thus loosening one horse, so the' General had no control over them, ex? cept to hold them and keep them from running; which ho did, although thrown violently to tho ground. The most mi? raculous part of tho accident was that ono of tho nurses, who sat on the front scat, holding a littlo boy, was thrown with the child under the front wheel, end held firmly by the wheel, so that neither of them could stir. If the horses had moved forward, the carriage, which ia a heavy six-passenger vehicle, must have crushed them; and if they had backed, the horses mast have trampled apon them. The carriage was badly broken by being twisted and crushed against the fence. The General need be very thank? ful, that, although badly braised, it was no worse, as the escape of the norse aad child from death was almost a miracle.
