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 ,

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.

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

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?

TROOPS OF AILMENTS VANQUISHED.
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?

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. She was the relic of the late Col.
Johu Bausket, than whom few men have
ever been better known and honored in
EJgefield. Mrs. Bausket snccumbed to
a stroke of paralysis, and died at tho
house of her son-in-law, Mr. R. A.
Lynch. Sho was a woman of uncom?
mon intellectual resource, uncommon
moral wealth, and of great vital and
active piety-a devoted Catholic-a
pioueer and a power in her church
wherever she lived.

OUT FOR A HOLIDAY.-One of our
young citizens, says the Cleveland Lead?
er, who wont recently to a farm in the
country to seek "health instead of dissi?
pation," returned the other day a little
out of sorts. Ho had blistered his hands
hooing oom, and torn tho seat out of a
pair of $20 pants at a pic-nie; one eye
was blackened from attempting to draw
water with an old oaken bucket and a
crank; his forehead waa frescoed with
mosquito bites; a stone-braise gave him
the Alexandria limp; he was freckled
like tho leopard, and had been sun
struck four times. With these excep?
tions, he had experienced au elegant
timo.
COLORADO WANTS TO BB A STATS.- The
citizens of Colorado will, at the coming
session of Congress, make a combined
effort to secure her admission into tho
Union of States. It is claimed that
moro thou the requisite number of in?
habitants are there, and that everything
required will be done. Tho people of
Colorado, it is said, however, have an
idea thot the representatives of the
States are prejudiced ugoiust increasing
the number for the present.
If sho hod been a hard-working wash?
erwoman, with irregular features and a
tanned complexion, she would probably
hove beeu strung up without judge or
jury. It is to be hoped that Mrs. Fair
will now fall in lovo with some one of
tho jury who acquitted ber.
