COLUMBIA. S. C. Friday Morning, October ll, 1872. For President of the United States. UORaOB UREKLEV. ot New York. For Vice-president B. O It ?VT Z BROWN, of BI Is io o ri. Tht Presidential Conceit sa Affeeted by the Recent Stat* Elections, The indications np to the boar of this writing are that Indiana has gone for the Liberals and Democrats. If so, tbere are no grounds for despondency, and Greeley bas the better chances for the Presidency. Wo are disappointed -at tbe rasult in Pennsylvania, of course, .but the loss of that State, while it would have utterly discomfited the Grantites, ?H only a check npon the opposition. /From Ohio, we did not hopo, with very > mach confidence, for news of n Liberal .victory. As present reports now stand, 'tho regular Republicans have nothing to "boast of. Their majority ia Ohio bas been reduced from 41,000 to 15,000. Bat concede to Greeley Indiana, as now . appears probable, and we bold that he . has a deoided advantage. The entire ? -vote of the electoral aoltege is 3GG, and ' the majority required for either candi? date is ISL Of these?, the States of 'Alabama, Arkansas, Connecticut, Dela? ware, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louis? iana, Maryland; Missouri, New Jersey, (New York, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia . and Indiana, give n total of 178. These -tall may be ooasidored as reasonably cer? tain for Greeley, provided Indiana has gone for Heudrioks, as now appears. .Thero is consequently required but six ? nore votes to give to Greeley the neces ? eary majority, and these, we believe, will ? oome, with a surplus of four, from North "-Carolina. California, too, which has a vote of just six in the electoral college, may be reasonably regarded as tolerably ?ave for Greeley. In 1868, in the full flash of his military glory, Grant re? ceived in Oalifornia a meagre majority of 'but 560. Tho Liberal Republicans have .discovered considerable strength there, and if it be but one-half proportionally of what has been manifested in O hio, the State is certain for the Liberals. Hew Hampshire, too, is by no means .?ure for Grant, nor is Mississippi. The - South has oentred her last hopes on Greeley. He is, as Charles O'Gonor ad? mita, a man of immense energy and ability, and we hoya etrong faith in his look. He may be crotchety, bot we are beginning to believe that the rest of ns have been crotchety, aud Greeley straight all the while. At any rate, he is riding the right hobby now, and ought to win, whether he does it or not. The South oupports Greeley not that it loved Gree? ley BO much, for it did not, but because it desired to show the North, by taking tho chief exponent of Northern senti? ment, as its standard-bearer, that we heartily desired reconciliation. Being in the Union, we wish to be of it, on any terms consistent with our manhood and self-respect, and we wish to be relieved .of the oorrupt and burdensome govern? ments foisted upon us and sustained by the Federal power. If the North will not shake bauds and refuses us reconoi - liation, with the people of that seotiou .most rest the responsibility. They always did think they knew more about our business, and could govern us better tbau we could govern ourselves. Perhaps they do. They have succeeded beautifully, iu South Carolina, for the past four years. Should they propose to -continue their officious aud unfriendly intermeddling for another term, we will, of course, have to grin and bear it. Bat ?of one thing the North may test assured; we are not yet reduced to the abject ser? vility of licking like hoauds the hands that smite us. We will never cringe to '-Grant so long us he is our enemy. REMOVAL OP TRIAL JUSTICES.-We were astonished to see iu the Columbia UMon the following paragraph: : "The Governor has removed Trial -Joatioe W. F. Clayton and Samuel J. Bethen, of Marion County. The grounds of removal, io the first instance, being that 'he hus failed to discharge the du? ties of his office,' and ia the second in? stance that 'ho is using his offioe to per? secute tho poor men iu tho neighbor? hood.'" Now we do uot expeot Radical Govern? ors to be at a loss for excuses when they desire to tura Democratic appoint?es ont of office, but we do wonder at the bruzan audacity with which the abovo unfounded blunders aro proclaimed. Mr. -Clayton is well known as a prompt officer, but it is as well kuowu that ho will not allow himself or bis process to be used improperly. Mr. Botbea, so far from "persecuting the poor" has almost been censurable for leaning too much to mercy's sido. Gov. Scott should con? tent himself with obeying the behests of hie Radical friends, without trying to in? jure the good name of honest, correct and capable officers.-Marion Star. Maj. J. J. Pope, ut one time a lawyer of considerable, prominence in Charles? ton, died in Savannah on the dth. His remains were taken to Beaufort, 8. 0 , .for interment. Ptitron? of Hutbandry. Tile Mastern uud Fast Mastern of the Granges of Patrons of Husbandry of South Oarolina met at 2 o'olook P. M., Ootober 9, ou the Fair Grounds, and Gol. Thomas Taylor, Muster of the Co? lumbia Grange, was requested to con? duct Mr. O. H. Kelley, Secretary Na? tional Grange, to the chnir. Master A. B. Boso, of the ?shloy Grange, wau re? quested to aot as Secretary. Secretary Kelley instructed the Grange to proaeed to an election ut Master uud Seoretary, whereupon MnKter Tbos. Tay? lor was elected Master, nDd Deputy D. Wyatt Aiken waa elected Secretary. A ballot was next ordered for oleotion of remaining officers, which resulted a.s fol? lows: A. D. Goodwyn, Overseer; J. S. Richardson, Leoturer; J. K. Davis, Steward; T. W. Holloway, Assistant Steward; J. I. Bonner, Chaplain; A. M. Aiken, Treasurer; and D. Nuunamuker, Gate-keeper. The Grange took a recosa of an hour sud a half for dinner, and on resump? tion of business, the variuua o Mi co rs ns sumed their positions, and Leoturer Ri? chardson o ff rited the following resolu? tions, which wero adopted: Resolved, That a committee on busi? ness, of ten members, be appointed by the Master to prepare business for the State Grange, aud that said oommittoe be required lo report at tue next meet? ing of the State Grange.

Resolved, That the first quarter's re? port be required from the subordinate Granges by the 24th of December next, to be made to the Seoretary of the State Grange. Mr. Shannon moved that tho Secre? tary be required to inqaireof the various companies manufacturing fertilizers in Charleston and elsewhere, whether or not said fertilizers oau be bought by the Granges at a reduced price. Adopted. Mr. Riohardson moved that the Gene? ral Deputy be required to instruct the members of the State Grange in the secret working of the ritual, which con? sumed several hours of the evoning.

Steam on tile Common Houri. This particular branch of engineering has occupied tho attention of the engi? neering world for the last half century, and their efforts have more or less been arowned with only a partial success. Muoh money has been spent aud many a seemingly well laid plan has f?llen to the ground for a more successful genius to complete and carry into effeot. Within the lost few years much has boen done in this branch, and tho world to-day sees the use of steam on the common road a practical success-successful and economical; so muoh so, that one firm in England-Messrs. Aveling & Portor, of Rochester-have turned out nearly 1,000 of thean useful munbinea, which, at no distant day, will as surely take tho place of the horse dray as the locomotive of the present day has taken the place of the old stage coach. Aside from their being used as a locomotive, they are easily adapted and applied to running any kind of machinery, as much so as the portable engine, so much now in oommou use. Their adaptation to the cultivation of the soil has been so suc? cessful in England that nearly the whole of that country in now ploughed and oultivated by steam machinery. The British Government bavo a number of those road steamers now carrying pas ?eug?ra ?u Loo common roads iu ludia, each one carrying about fifty persons and traveling at a rato of from six to twelve miles per hour. Arrangements have beon made for ono of those engines to be exhibited at our approaching fair, when tho ci tizona of Colombia and the visitors to tho fair will have an opportunity to witness tho power and usefulness of one of these powerful pieces of mechanism. F. The Chicago Times has received an original poem on "The Burnt District at Midnight." Tho one hundrod and so cond verse reads: "The derrick stands still 'gainst the half-finished wall. The brick piles are quiet; tho stones are at rest. To-morrow they'll rise, niuo or ten stories tall, in hugo, masBivo struct? ures-the worst io thu West." Presentment of Cite Grund Jory. To His HONOR SAMUEL W. MELTON, JUDGE OF TUE FIFTH CIRCUIT: Having finished tho duties of the present torin, tho grand jury beg leave to make their presentment. lu regard to u number of cases brought before us, we are of opinion that fewer witnesses would have answered all the ends of justice-several of the witnesses not knowing' anything at all about the ouse, and simply stating what they heard others say and it is evident to us that it would be a great saviog of mouey to thu County if snch useless witnesses were not brought to court. This evil, in our judgment, has us origin with the Trial Justices, a remedy for which wo cannot seo under existing laws. Wo visited the poor houses and found several persons very poorly provided for. The houses are very open and the in? mates complain of the want of bnddmg, a shortness of provisions and tho want of shoes. They have a plentiful supply of bread. We visited tho several offices of tho Clerk of Court, Sheriff, Judge of Pro? bate, and fouud everything to our entin satisfaction. The books of the Clerk of tho Court and of thu Sheriff are all posted to dato, and are iu perfect order. In tho Treasurer's office everything is conducted in the most busiue.ss-liko manner. It was in this office that wo found out where a great cause for com? plaint of tax-payers originated. We saw where sovoral huudred lots or other pro? perty had been entered twice, and iu nearly every instance entered in names entirely differeut. These double assess? ments wore all euterud while the books were in tho Auditor's officu. Ou visiting this latter office we saw uud were assured that it is almost impossible for auy euch errors to be made in future. Our viBit to tho jail was satisfactory, under existing circumstances, the cells as cloan aa we oould expect, and tho meat that was being cooked was very good. One Nicholas Milier has been iu jail 6inoe July 30, 1872; we think that his case ought to be inquired into. The sad condition of the public road from Colombia to Monticello is brought to our attention by eleven of the most respectable citizens of the County. lu their communication they state that the road is almost impassable. This road has not been repaired for yeurs, and some portions of the road have not been worked since the war. In the laoguage of the above mentioned citizens, we are of the opinion that the present state of this road is very detrimental to the inte? rests of tho city of Columbia, and also detrimental to tho interests of the tax? payers in that part of the County, and we think that a speedy remedy is much needed. lu conclusion, the grand jury return their sincere thanks to his Honor Samuel W. Melton for th? kind manner in which he has assisted them in the dis? charge of their duty. Respectful]v pre? sented, J. H. BALDWIN, Foreman. SPAIN AND THE UNITED STATES.-There is a rumor from Spain that the Govern? ment of that country has resolved to submit to the other European powers the question of the justice of its claims against the (Jo vern ment of the United StateB for damages sustained by tho filli buBtering expeditions from United Statos ports for Cuba. The report ?H ridiculous on its face, as no European power would sit in judgment on the action of another friendly pewer, except under an appoint? ment by both parties as arbitrator, or if it did, its decrees would have no bind? ing force. A conference and a treaty of arbitration, like that nuder' which the Alabama claims were adjudicated, would be the proper course, if Spain has any complaints to make. It would be quite easy for us to prove before such a tribu? nal that we have used proper diligonce in stopping vessels supposed to be Cu? ban privateers, and, as to shipments of arms, that it is not au infringement of the neutrality under any law. On the other hand, the inquiry might show real causes of complaint on our part in the conduct of Spanish officials towards our own Government and citizens, and dis close facts in regard to Spanish conduct generally and the stalus of the rebellion in that country, which would uot bo very agreeuble to Spain. THE CRIMINAL COURT 100 YEAHS Aao. Tho following is a copy of the docket entry in the court of Oyer and Terminer for Baltimore County, in February, 1772-exercising the powers of the pre? sent criminal court of the city-in the possession of Froderick Pinkney, Esq. : .'The Lord Proprietary vs. Elizabeth Kerr, alias Doyle, iudiotment for bur? glary. The prisoner refusing to plead to the indictment, the court directed the sheriff to tie her thumbs together with whip-cord in a forcible manner, in order to induce ber to plead to the indictment. Tho prisoner theu pleaded and was found guilty. She prayed her clergy, and was sentenoed to be burnt in tho brawn of the left thumb, and that this sentence be executed iu open court. Judgment executed." TERRIBLE FIRE.-Tho fire fiend playod the mibohief with tho town of Salisbury, N. C., last Saturday morning, between midnight and daylight. Five or six stores wore destroyed. They were in tho square iu which the market house is situated, between Henderson's drug store and the market; and were occu? pied by Smithdeal & Barnhart, T. J. Foster, Price Bros., Mills Sc Kenia and others. Tho dre was accidental. "Inflatable robber bustles" are an? nounced. They nre said to impart great buoyauoy to the movements. In case of shipwreck, they would, undoubtedly, bo advantageous, although a girl floated by one of them might bo taken for a buoy, and so passed by unnotioed. At Now Lisbon they speak of a man's legs being cross-eyed, meaning that ho is staggering drunk.

Turner, White Hall. THE REBEL DEBT.-Tho Chicago Tri? bune posts its readers about "thu rebel debt" in a truthful manner, but ono which will not bo acceptable to thu Graut party. It says: The rebel debt is a bugbear. There is no such debt, iuusmucb as all Con? federate bonds and notus wura made payable subject to the recognition of the independence of the Confederate States by the United States. If there wero any such debt, tho South would not de? sire to pay it, sinon that region already rests nuder legal debts which threaten repudiation. Finally, if there were such a debt, and the South desired to pay it, the fourteenth amendment conclusively forbids it. There is, however, a debt of the carpet-hag Stutes, amounting to $?15,000,000, incurred mainly by the present Administration, by Grant's par? tisans in tho South, owned by Honry Clows & Co., and other bankers, which thero is a far greater probability our tax? payers mast pay than that they will bu called on to pay tho rebel debt. Most of thu bonds huvo been Bold to those bank? ers for from 10 to 40 per cent, of their faco. Probably not over $40,000,000 or 850,000,000 huve been loaned to these carpet-bag officers by tho bankers, aud a very handsome profit can bo made by forming a ring at Washington to induce Congress to assume the payment of these boude. This would be moro ridiculous than our assuming tho debt of Sau Do? mingo. It may be plausibly argued that, unless Congress assumes their payment, they will drift their States straight iuto repudiation, and that repudiation by eight States would depress our national credit and shatter our public and private securities by more than $215,000,000 in value. As they were incurred by the Grant party in tba South, thc Grant party in Congress will naturally feel an interest in thuir payment-certainly moro interest than Mr. Greeley's friends feel in tho Confederate debt. PETTY REVENUE -In ordor to rovengo themselves in a measure for the over? whelming defeat in Georgia, on the 2J, tho Radicals are arresting election mana? gers in various portions of tho Statu for alleged violations of the Enforcement Act. The examination, in every in? stance, shows thut the charges aro alto? gether frivolous, und preferred merely for tho purpose of annoying those against whom they aro made. Intelligence comes from Washington that there is a "Greeley conspiracy" thorn to exposo flagrant irregularities in tho Treasury Department. If tho Pr?si? dant cau't call out thu army aud navy to nip such a villainous conspiracy in the bud, what is tho use, wo should liku to know, of having such things to call out? Zjooal It oms.

Love & Co. took formal possession of their new quarters, and completely turned the beads of many of our ludy friends with their display of fancy arti? cles, dry goods, etc. Mrs. McCormick exhibited many beau? tiful urticles. Among them we mention Cavalier, Lallu Rookh, and other styles of fancy-looking hats and bonnets, fur sacques and caps, worsted and silk sacques, etc.; besides innumerable arti? cles pertaining to feminine apparel, which shall be nameless, for waut of the proper titles. Mrs. Reed was on band with a beauti? ful .stock, which attraoted the especial admiration of tho ladies. There were Mont Clair, Orleans, Fadetta, Cremorn, Melrose, Little Minot, Forrest City and Cavalier hats - the latter particularly protty; infants' cloaks and socques; la? dies' sacques, of nearly every style; morning robes and dressing gowns; plain, white, black and striped furs, (for trimming,) etc. And as to bridal and mourning bonnets and hats, they are especially becoming-for we were for? tunato enough to see lady friends give them ouch a trial. As to the parapher? nalia belongiug to ladies' apparel, we, of course, make no mention. Sufficient to say, that our dealers are fully prepared to meet all the requirements of the sea? son.

On account of the promptness with which it checks the fevers generated by unhealthy exhalations, HoBtetter's Bit? ters is considered an indispensable fami? ly medicine on the borders of our South? ern und Western rivers, and in new set? tlement?, where the plough and the axe are for the first time disturbing the soli? tudes of nature. Its reputation, how? ever, is not confined to such localities. Wherever tho elements of disease are rife, it is the surest safeguard of health; wherever sickness prevails, it ia effica? cious as a remedy. Among the serious diseases which it is guaranteed to con? trol, are indigestion, biliousness, and all the minor ailments connected with de? rangements of the stomach, the liver, and the bowels, such as heart burn, head? ache, flatulence, costiveness, nausea, distaste for food, languor and debility, palpitation of the heart, trembling oi the hands, noises in the ears, disordered vision, disturbed sleep, and mental in? quietude. Aa these physical and mental dist in buncos tend to a general failure of all the powers of the system, they should be nt once corrected-as they always moy be-by a coarse of Hosteler's Sto? mach Bitters. 06ft? DEATH OF M ns. SOFHIA BAUSKET. This loved und gifted lady, many years of whoso useful and valuable life were spent in our midst, passed on Monday night last, from earth to her heavenly rest.
