COLUMBIA, S. C. Sunday Morning, October 6, 1872. For President of the United States. HOUAOB QRCELEY. of Hew York. For vice-President B. GRATZ BKOWN, of ?lliionrl. Tile Amendment to tile State Constitu? tion. There will be submitted to the people of the State, at the approaching election, a very important amendment to tho Constitution of the State. The resolu? tion passed by tho General Assembly at its last session, to submit the amend? ment to the vote of the people, was, doubtless, designed by its authors mainly to enhanoo tho value of outstanding State bonds, and with but little pnrpose or care for its final adoption. It is in these words: "To the end that the publio debt of South Carolina may not hereafter be in? creased without the due consideration and free consent of the people of the State, tho General Assembly is bereby forbidden to create any further debt or obligation, either by the loan of the oredit of tho State, by guarantee, en? dorsement or otherwise, except for the ordinary and current business of the State, without first submitting the ques? tion us to the oreation of any such new debt, guarantee, endorsement or loan of tho credit, to the people of this State, at a general eleotion; and unless two thirds of the qualified voters of this State, voting ou the question, shall be in fcvor of a further debt, guarantee, en? dorsement or loan of this credit, none shall be created or made." Wo desire to call the attention of can? didates, both Mosoyites and Bolters, to this amendment, and to have a declara? tion from.thom, whether or not they are in favor of its adoption. To take steps at this late day to restrain the power of the General Assembly in creating publio debt, is painfully like looking tho door after the steed has been stolon. But it is a good thing to be dose at any time. The indiscreet and frequently dishonest tampering with the publio orodit by Le? gislatures, hos become the crying abuse of the age, and the proliflo parent of that official corruption which at present, moro than anything else, endangers the permanence of republican institutions. We hope tho citizens throughout the State will see tc it that the two parties and the individual candidates, particu? larly of the Legislature, shall give some publio expression of their opiniou on this subject. Lot every candidato an? swer through the publio press. We would be glad to hear from the candi? dates from our own County for member? ship of the House of Representatives, how they stand on this question. The Kieutlon lu Georgia. The accounts from our sister State across the Savannah, as to the result of the eleotion, are most cheering. The Administration party has been defeated by a larger majority than ever before. It is claimed that Jamos A?. Smith, the gubernatorial oandidute of the Demo orate and Liberal Republicans, han out? stripped his opponent, Walker, by 40,000 or 50,000 votes. The Georgia press is jubilant over the victory, as it may well be, for tho gallant Goorgians have ex? ceeded expectations. The report of ma? jorities uro doubtless somewhat above the true figures, but there is no doubt that the full Conservative vote was polled. Tho assumed apathy of tho whito people has boen provon untrue. Tho Bourbon Democrats of Georgia do not amount to a hand-fnl. and thoy will make no better show in the Presidential election than thoy did on Wednesday last. - A bet is said to bu a fool's argument, which, if truo, clearly establishes the fact that thero aro a great many foolish people yet to bo found in tho busy, bust? ling world around us. Now, whatever may be said of tho Hon. John Morrissey, of New York, no ono ovor char ged him with being a fool, notwithstanding tho faot that he loves betting cs dearly as a fish loves water. He recently passed a few hours in Philadelphia, and while in that quiet and highly moral city indulged in his favorite pastime, in a manner that plainly indicated that ho had plenty of cash and confidence to invest in the eleo? tion of Buckalow. Among tho bets mado by him on Monday last were 08,000 to $10,000 that Buckalow will bo eleoted Governor; $1,G00 to 02,000 on the same result; $1,000 to 81,000 that Buokalow will get 8.C00 majority outside of Phila? delphia, and 81,000 to $250 that Har tranft won't get 20,000 majority in tho State. The Hon. John also offered to bot $5,000 that ho would continuo to bet at tho above odds up to tho day of elec? tion-no takers. Tho Hon. John, we believe, has returned to his humblo homo in Gotham, awaiting "tho good timo coming," which ia expected on Wednes? day morning next, when ho will bo called upon to bag tho superabundant cash so rocklessly risked by the Radicals. There aro 5,000 Whigs in Alabama who bavo not voted since tho war. Oar W??l?lnston Correspondence-. WABHINGTOX, D. C., October 3, 1872. To THE EDITO? OF THE PHOENIX: A few days more and the agony will bo over. On Tuesday night, or on Wednesday by noon, at farthest, it will bo known in every oity of the United States whether we are to be, in the futuro, a united peo? ple, with common rights, common inte? rests and a common purpose, or whether a large portion of oar country is to be doomed for four years more, after the 4th of March, 1873, to have tho little life-blood remaining in it sucked out by mercenary carpet-baggers and ignorant negro legislators-whether the South is to bo the Ireland, the Hungary, or tho Poland of this great nation, oppressed by speoial and unconstitutional legisla? tion, or to be an integral part of it whether its young peoplo aro to bo sur ronndod by influences calculated to de? velops und foster in them love of their oountry and of its institutions, or aro to be aggravated into sullen hatred of, or activo hostility to them, by the continued disfranchisement of their fathers, elder brothers and other relatives a ad friends. Qod help the South-the entire country, for that matter-if it is to be consigned for another four years to the guardian? ship of the characterless, swiudling scoundrels who, for their own base and selfish purposes, havo kept it in hot water during the last past seven years. Bat there need be no fear, I think, of such a dire oalamity. The Star, of this city, a Grant organ, virtually gavo up Indiana and Pennsyl? vania, a few days ago, to Hendricks aud Buckalow; but Judge Edmunds, Secre? tary and general manager of the Grunt Congressional Committee, still pretends to think that these two States will go for tho corruptionists, and so, of course, do all the other Grant offlco-holders. But their looks and general demeanor belie their expressions of confidence. They are not bland and exaltant as they wero a few weeks ago, bat have beoomo cap? tious and quarrelsome. Most of tho active men in tho Qrant ranks hero aro fighting for their very lives-with politi? cal halters round their necks. Seaator Harlan, of Iowa, for example, who is now running the Chronicle, knows very well that he will never be heard of again, if Grant is defeated. Harlan was repu? diated by his Stato, and when he leaves the Senute, on the 4th of next March, ho will go back to Iowa tho most unpopular man there. Cresswell was never anything moro than a fourth-rate lawyer ia Maryland, aud having neither professional nor so? cial standing ia his native State, would be buried by Grant's defeat beyond tho reach of auy revivifying influenae short of Gabriel's trnmpot. K uno disce omnes. The bar-rooms havo been doing a good busiaess for the last fortnight. Whiskey straights have beon in great demand by the Goverameat clerks who sniff daager from afar. Many of them have beea ia office tea or twelve years, aud feol extremely uncomfortable ut the piospect of having to do a fair day's work for a fair day's pay, niter next March, during the remainder of their natural lives. They very properly ex peot that the incoming administration will muka a pretty olean sweep iu all the ? executive departments. Macy of them have purchased houses hore, thiaking themselves settled for life. I saw two this morning who have advertisements prepared, offering their property for sale, for insertion in the daily papers next week, if the coming Stats elections iudicato the probable oleotion of Mr. Greeley. The lust cold soap having pretty much cluurod out tho watering places und other summer resorts of the fuw remain? ing fashionable families thut lingered round them after the oloso of thesoason, reluctant to return to their city homes, and the Atlantic Steamships, landing, every few days, their immeuso return cargoes of meu and womeu who have been "doing" the highlands of Scot laud, the Alps, tho Ithiao and other parts of Europe in search of hoalth and pleasure, tho capital of tho nation is bo giuoing to ass u ino a moro lively and oheerful uspeot; At every step or two, you moot faces which you had missed for the lust three months. Tho number of stylish turn-outs on thenveuuo, every afternoou, many of them driven skill? fully and grjicsfully by women, increases from day to day. Tho theatres und ohurches aro botter attended. It is also rumored that Provost Mar? shal-General Grunt has promised three dnyB leave of absence, from their legiti? mate campaign duties ou tho stump in Nebrasku, Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylva? nia, to all his bends of departments and bureaus immediately after tho elections in thus.! Staten ou tho 8th instaut-this, of course, after having consulted Attor aey-Goaeral Williams and Georgo W. Curtis, ProBideot of tho Advisory Civil Service Board. The people will bo over? joyed to learn that these two distin? guished Mufi's, after having givon to the question all tho time and considcrntiou its importance demands, have arrived at the unanimous conclusion that tho Con? stitution aud laws of tho Uuitcd States do not, in letter or spirit, prohibit Cabi? net officers or ohiofs of bureaus from makiog occasional short visits to Wash? ington during a Presidential campaign always, of course, by permission-pro? vided Haid visits do not iatorfero in any way with their political duties to the party of great moral ideas. This gone rosity of Provost Marshal General Grant, aad the lamiuoas dcoision of his two phoo-phoos, are highly appreciated by the unfortuaato, melaucholy-lookiug men who have busiaess with tho Govern? ment, and havo been hanging round Washington three or four months, on heavy expenses, for an opportunity to get tho ear aad atteutiou of somebody authorized by law to consider and act upon their respective cases. A. P. B. A number of French priests are said to purpose- following Frere Hyacinthe's matrimonial example. SUMTER, S. G., October 5. Thu true Republicans held a maBS meeting in thia town yesterday. There was a large gathering of both races, the blacks, OB usual, preponderating. The Moses faction resorted to all the usual tricks to prevent the presenoo of a crowd, but failed. Some of their candidates, being present, were invited to speak and did so. They wero listened to respect? fully by the bolters, but whenever a bolter speaker addressed tho meeting, every effort waB made by a few negroes to insult and disturb thom. This, how evor, was done only by about u half dozen young men, who aro woll known servants of F. J. Moses, (his carriago driver and domo?tics,) headed by preach? er (Senator) Johnson. Their conduot was indeoeut and disgusting, nnd, to the honor of the very large crowd present, met with no Bympathy. Tho meeting was addressed in tho following order: T. J. Coghlan, Senator Sawyer, Cardozo, Fleming, Westbury, Daddy Cain, Judgo Green and Whittemoro-all for tho bolt? ers, except Cardozo and Cain. Tho bolters held the orowd until nightfall, and the Moses Court House ring was at a discount. Chief Justice Moses did not attend the mooting, but appeared occasionally in thu oiling, engineering, us usual, his party. Mr. Tomlinson was not present, much to the regret of the people, who still hope to have a visit from him when he recovors. Tho speaker who followed Cardozo said that Cardozo's appearance showed that ho had been among tho fut pickings, and it was no wonder he could talk for Moses, when, if Moses was elected, Car? dozo would have the key to the Treasu? ry. OCCASIONAL. CAUTER.-The Union, of Friday, con? tained a sensational article, which was followed by tho following, yosterday: The informal examination of Carter lasted until lato, or rather early in tho morning yesterday, and resulted iu the commitment of the prisoner to Richland County jail. On the way thither he as? serted that ho had been made a dnpe of others who wero acting as his accom? plices in tho matter. Telegrams have settled the matter beyond doubt that tho conspiracy was pretty well planned, but very poorly carriod out. That Carter should havo successfully passed himself off on the Charleston people as a secret service agent, ia somewhat astonishing. The Court of General Sessions convenes next week, and tho wire-pullers' case will, doubtless, prove one of tho most interesting. The following is the affida? vit in the warrant made by the Secre? tary of the State Central Committee, upon which Trial Justice Richmond committed Curter at about 2 o'clock yos? terday morning, he having waived an examination, and beiug unable to fur? nish the ?1,000 bail required, viz: STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, COUNTY OF RICHLAND. Personally appeared before me, James Kennedy, of the Stute and County aforesaid, who, having been duly sworn, on oath, says that on or about the third day of October, in the year 1872, nt Co? lombia, in said Stute and County, Henry C. Carter did willfully, fraudulently, un? lawfully and falsely, make, or assist in making, and forge, or assist in forging, a certain false letter or writing, and did falsely sign, or ussi?t in signing thereto, tho name of Wm. A. Richardson, Assist? ant Secretary of the Treasury of the United States, which false and forged writiug and signing are in thu words and Ggures following, to wit: TREASURY DEPARTMENT, WASHINGTON, D.C., 9th mo. 28, 1872. Gen. F. J. Mosen, Jr.-Sin: Secretary Boutwell direots me to say that ho will bo in South Carolina on the 7th of Octo? ber, to take part in the Presidential campaign. Sawyer endeavored to da? mage your interests hero, but I think he bas materially failed, as the President B.aid to mo yesterday: "Tho Moses party ia tho only ono for tts iu South Caro? lina." Captain Carter, who will hand you this, you will lind a sharp, shiewd, clear-sighted mau, and ono in whom you can placo implicit confidence. Hoping you will have all tho good luck imagina? ble, I remain, niv dear sir, yours, very truly, W. ?. RICHARDSON, Assist int Secretary Treasury. And the said falso and forged writing or letter he, the said Henry C. Carter, did, on the day und year first aforesaid, at Columbia, in tho State of South Ca? rolina, utter and publish, by delivering tho same to tho said Franklin J. Moses, Jr., J. L. Noagle, William Gurney and others, with intent thereby thom to de? fraud and deoeive, he, tho said Henry C. Carter, at the time he uttered and pub? lished tho said falso and forged letters ot writing, then well knowing tho sumo to bo falso and forged. RAGE OF THE GRANT RADICALS OVER THE PATRIOTIC ACTION OF Gov. CURTIN. Tho Grant Radicals are furious over the courso of Gov. Curtin in supporting the reform movement. Ono of their orators, p. Col. Brown, thus spoko of him at Bellofouto a few nights ago: And I say here to-night-say it reluct? antly and with tears in my eyes, that in this act, Andrew G. Curtin has damned, yes, doubly damned tho honorable record which the Republican party gavo him. [Applauso. I And let the momory of him who has thus botrayed and basely insulted tho party that gave him place and power bo hereafter and forever damned, damned, dnmuod!" |Immense applause. | JUTE.-Tho oable informs us of tho widespread destruction of tho jute orop in India by a cyclone. This is peculiar? ly unfortunate for tho natives, many of whom will doubtless fall into as great destitution through tho loss of their jute ns tho Irish will suffer through tho loss of their potato. A BEAUTIFUL INCIDENT.-A young man recently ran away tro m tho galleys of Toulouse. Ho waa strong and vigorous, and arrived next morning bofore a cot? tage, and stopped to get something to eat, and get a refuge while ho reposed a little. But he found tho inmates of tho cottage in tho greatest distress. Four little ohildren sut trumbling in the cor? ner-the mother sat weeping und tear? ing her hair, and tho father was walking the floor in much agony. The galley slave asked what wai tho matter, and tho father replied that they were that morning to bu turned out of doors, becauso they could not pay their rent. "You soo me driven to despair," said tho father, "my wifo and little ouep de? prived of food and shelter, and I with? out means to pr?vido for them." The convict listened to tho tale with tenrs of sympathy, and said: "I will give you tho means. I have just escaped from tho galleys. Whoever brings back an escaped prisoner is enti? tled to a reward of fifty francs. How muoh doos tho rent amount to?" "Forty frunes," answered tho father. "My children should starve before I would do BO base a thing." The generous man insisted, and de? clared that ho would go and give himself up if the father would not take him. The latter yielded, and taking his pre? server by the arm led him to the city and to tho Mayor's ofiico. Everybody was surprised to seo that a little man had been ablo to capture such a strong young fellow. Tho fifty francs wero paid, and the prisoner sent back to the galleys; but after he was gone thc father asked u pri? vate interview with tho Mayor, to .whom he told tho whole story. Tho Mayor was so much uffected that bo not only added francs to the father's purse, but wrote immediately to the Minister of Justice, begging tho noblo prisoner's release. The Minister examined into the uflair, and finding it was a comparatively small offence which condemned the young man tu the galleys, and that lie bad already served out half of his term, ordered his release. ,-? - ArroiNTMENTOF SUPERVISORS OF ELEC?

A girl in Illinois drowned herself, lately, because she had warts on her bands. A "nice young mau" in Maryland "cut his weasitnd," last Tuesday, because ho bad a "bottlo blossom" on tho end of hi? nose. "All is vanity," saith the preach? er. One would hardly suppose thal such trifles as theso could wound any? body's self-love sufficiently tu disgusl him or her with life. Every ono cauno! be a pattern of loveliness. Aud yel beauty is the exclusivo property of none, "No monopoly, eaid the sunbeam, when it dispersed a dewdrop that was hiding 1 in the folds of a rose." No monopoly, said mother Nature, when she scattered KO many and such varied attractiom among tho fair daughters of eurth! DEATH OF AN OLD CITIZEN.-Mr. Jobi II. Manu, perhaps tho oldest citizen o ! Augusta, died ut his residence in th ii city, yesterday morning. Mr. Mani was born in Charlotte County, Virginia on January 8, 1787, and was consequent ly in tho eighty-sixth year of his ago al ' tho time of his death. Ho came to thii city in 170(3 and resided here from thai dato until ho died. Ho was a membei of St.. Jehu's Methodist Episcopu ' Church-of which bis sou, Hov. Alfrci T.

Ho filled tho office of Clerl of tho Superior Court of Richmond County for over twenty years and tba of Collector and Treasurer of tho cit] for about the sarao period. Ho alsc 1 served as Treasurer of tho County, ant was at one timo Enrolling Clork of th( Georgia Legislature. 1 J Augusta Constitutionalist. Of all tho cities iu tho world, Chicagc is destined to become tho most famous Wo do not, in this remark, refer to bei hog-slaughtering pro-eminence, to bei grain elovators, or to tho number of mur tlercrs and thieves who make their homoj in h?r suburbs, nor yet to her great lire but to the fact that her cemeteries pos Bess such extraordinary petrifying pro porties, that soon after interment, bodicf are, as a Chicago paper prints it, per fectly "inarblilied." This was tho con? dition of an infant, and so delighted were its relatives, that they desired tc remove it, for tho purpose of a mantle ornament. Somo one, in view of thif discovory, suggests that a company bc formed to bury people iu irtistio atti? tudes, and thus establish a Btatuo factory to supply art galleries throughout tilt world.

Purr ATE REPROOF OF CHILDREN.-Pro? bably most parents, oven kindly ones, would bo a little startled at tbe assertion that a ebild ought never to be reproved in the presence of others. This is so constant an occurrence that nobody thinks of considering whether it be right and bebt, or not. But it is a great rudeness to a child. I am entirely sure that it ought never to be done. Mortifi? cation is a condition as unwholesome as it is uncomfortable. When the wound is inflicted by the hand of a parent, it is all the more certain to rankle and do harm. Let a child seo that his mother is so anxious that he should have the ap? probation and good will of her friend that she will uot call their attention to his faults, and that while sho only, under any circumstances, allows herself to tell him afterward alone, if he has behaved improperly, she will spare him the addi? tional pain and mortification of publia reproof; and, while that child will lay those secret reproofs to heart, ho will Btill he happy. I koow a mother who had the insight to see this, and the patience to make it a rule; for it takes far more patience, far moro time, than the common method. She said some? times to her little boy, after callers had left the parlor: "Now, dear, I am going to bo your little girl und you are to be my papa, aad wo will play that a gentle? man has just come ia to Bee you, and I will show you exactly how you have been behaving while this lady has been calling oa me, aad you caa see if you do not feel very B?rry to have our little giri behave so." Here is a dramatio representation at once, which that boy does not need to eeo repeated macy times before he is for? ever oared of interrupting, of palling his mother's gowa, of dramming on the piano, etc., of the thousand und one things which able, bodied children caa do to make social visiting, whore they are, a martyrdom aad a penance. When wo consider seriously what ought to be the nuture of a reproof from a parent to a child, aad what is its ead, the answer is simple enough. It should be nothing but the Buperior wisdom aod strength explaining to inexperience and feeble? ness whereiu they have made a mistake, to the end that they may avoid such mis? takes in future. If personal annoyance, impatience, antagonism, eater in, the relation is matred aud the ead endan? gered. Most sacred aod inalienable of all rights is the right of helplessness to protection from the strong, of ignorance to counsel from tho wiso. If we give oar protection aud counsel grudgingly, or in a churlish, unkind manner, even to tho stranger that is in our gates, we are ao Christians, and deserve to be stripped of what little wisdom and strength we have hoarded. But there are no words to say what we are or what we deserve, if wo do thus to the little children whom wc have dared to bring into the peril of this life, and whoso whole future may be blighted by the mistakes of our careless hands. Is HE RICH?-Many u sigh is heaved, many a heart is broken, many a life is rendered miserable by tho terrible infa? tuation which parents manifest in choos? ing a life compauioa for their daughters. How is it possible for happiaess to re? sult from the unioa of two priacipals so diametrically opposed to each other in every poiat as virtue is lo vice?-aad yet how of tea is wealth coosidered a better recommendation for yoong men thou virtue? How ofteo the first ques tioa asked respecting tho suitor of a daughter is this, "Is he rich?" Yes, he abounds in wealth; bat does that afford any evidence that he will make a kind and affectionate husband? "Is he rioh?" Yes, his clothing is purple aad fioe linen, and ho fares sumptuously every day; but can you infer from this that he is vir? tuous? "Is ho rich?" Yes, he has thousands floatiog on every ocean; but do oot riches sometimes "tako to them? selves wings and Hy away?" And you conseot that your daughter shull marry a mau who has nothing to recommend him but his wealth? Ahl beware, the gilded bait sometimes covers a barbed hook; ask aot, thea, "Is ho rich," but "IB he virtuous?" Ask not if ho has wealth, but has he hoaor? And do not 6acrificoyour daughter's peace for money. FOOLSCAP.-Tho origin of tho term "foolscap" has doubtless puzzled many writers who aso the paper known by tI that name, and yot, as ia many similar cases, it took its name from a very simplo circumstance Charlos I, of England, granted numerous monopolies > I for tho support of tho Government. Among others, was tho manufacture of paper. The water-mark of the finest sort was tho royal arms of England. Tho consumption of this artiole was great, and large fortunes were made by those who purchased the exclusive right to vend it. This, among monopolies, was set aside by tho Parliament that brought Charles" I to the scaffold; and by woy of showing their coutempt for tho King, they ordered the royal arms to be token from the paper, and a fool with his oap and bells to bo substituted. It is now over 200 years since the fools? cap was taken from the paper, but still the paper of the size, whioh tho Rump Parliament ordered for their journals, bear tho Dame of tho water-mark, placed there as an indignity to Charles.
