COLUMBIA. S. C. Saturday Komine. October 12,1872. For President of the United States. HOIIAOB OUKKLKY. of New York. For Vice-Pr?sident B. GRATZ BKOWI?, off Blluoarl. With th.? White? Rest? tn? Ism?. It is becoming more and more appa? rent, every day, that the white people hold the balaooe of power io the pend? ing State election. With us it is practi? cally left to say who shall be oar next Governor, and what shall be the charac? ter of the incoming administration. We have no absolute choice, bat we caa ex? orcise, if we will, a decisive preference between the two Republican candidates for the Governorship and their respect? ive tickets. We have great power, there? fore, in our hands, and a very heavy re? sponsibility resting npon us to exercise it for the best interests of the State. Shall we shirk this responsibility and neglect to make the best use we can of the power with which we are accidentally possessed? Sorely not. Our people cannot afford it. There is too mach at stake for us to re? main idle in tho fight. As for us, we have long favored what . we oonoeived to bo a common sense policy. This policy is summed up in the proposition thut we should do the beet that circumstances will allow. Be? cause we cannot get all that we wish, or that we know to be right, is no excuse for our quietly folding our hands and re? fusing to take the best which is within our grasp. Tomliuson is a better man than Moses, infinitely preferable in every respeot, and so are the men throughout the entire Bolters' ticket, os compared to their opponents. It is a movement for reform, whether it be alto? gether eatisfootory or not. It representa a protest against the crimes and corrup? tion ot the past fonr years. All good men ought to support it on that aooount alone. The election of Moses and hie wing of the party is an endorsement of all the rascally aohemea which have been perpetrated by our State offioials. It is a bounty to vioe, and the granting a re? ward to the very man who have made th? Government of South Carolina "a disgrace to the civilization of the age." Where, when or how can the prostitu? tion of pnblio trust to private gain be chocked, if the very men guilty of it are again honored with office? We do not hope for a thorough reform in the State Government, even if the Bolters' tioket is elected. We are confi? dent that great improvements will be made, that taxation will be largely re? duced, and the publio institutions more properly oared for. Bat be the result of the present eleotion what it may, the great body of the General Assembly will be as corra pt as its predecessors. Still, the ice will be broken. The negroes will be released in a great measure from the tyranny of the party lash. Publio officers will see that evil practices are oondemned by the people, and this will prove the surest guaranty of a faithful discharge of their duties. At the next election we may hope to do still better, until finally we may hope to reaoh reasonable honesty and econo? my in the conduct of State affairs. Tammany waa overthrown in the great State of New York last year, after a des? perate struggle. The cry of reform was raised, and the people flocked to its standard, and after the moat complete success, found their new rulers but little better than the old. Yet will any one say that no good was accomplished in the defeat of the Tammany thieves? The bare foot of a ohange, and of the determination of the people not to sub? mit to the existing evil state of things, was healthful. The ball was set in mo? tion, the revolution commenced, and it will not end until the citizens of New York seoure a government, with which they can be measurably satisfied. Just ao will be the oose with us, if we can de? feat the "regular rogues" on Wednesday next. Let ns onoe break the power of .' party conventions, by showing that their action ia not irreversible, and we will have foroed tho negro from a thraldom more enslaving than that of bodily serv? itude, and have made at the same time a grund stride forward in the redemp? tion of our unhappy State, i < ? ? > ... j LAST WEEK'S COTTON FIOURES.-The I New York Financial and Commercial 1 CJironicle reports total cotton reoeiptB 1 for seven days, ending last Friday night, i 74,146 bal os, against 64,208 bales last I week, 61,269 bales the previous week, Hgt and 29,625 bales throe weeks since, ? making the total receipts since the first 8 of September. 1872, 230,165 bates, ? against 122,596 bales for the same period I of 1871, showing an inorease since Sap ** tomber 1, Ibis year, of 107,559 bules.

The Committee on Fair Grounds sub? mitted tho following report: The committee to whom it was refer? red to inquire concerning tho present oondi,;in of the case of the city of Co lumb )8. John B. Palmer, and others, now mding in the Court of Common Pleas *'jr this County, involving thr right oi the city to the Agricultural Fait Grounds, located within its limits, in the Northern part thereof, and to submit their opiniou as to the propriety of con tinuing that case to a legal judgment, respectfully report that they have dis charged that duty, and find that on tin 25th day of July, 1871, Aldermai Thompson offered the following r?solu tion, whioh wnn adopted: "Resolved, That the City Attorney b( instructed to institute the legal proceed inga necessary to assert the title of the city of Columbia to the Agricultural Fail Grounds, and to restore the oontro thereof to the city." And that on the 2d day of September 1871, the above notion was commence.: aud is still pending; the trial of whiot has been delayed because his Hono: Samuel W. Melton, Judge of the Fiftl Ciroait, expressed some doubts to tb* City Attorney whether, being himself i corporator, hu could hear the cause; and second, because the City Attorney, in t hi hope that the controversy might be set tied by compromise-aoting, as he be lieved, in full acoordanoe with tho wisho. of the City Conned-deolinod to press it Thus the matter stood until the 11th o November, 1871, when, in order to rec ti fy a gross misrepresentation of tin motive of the City Council in ordering un action to bo brought to test the titi? and show the real purpose of the Conn oil in directing such an action, the fol lowing resolutions, offered by Aldermai Wallace, were unanimously adopted: Resolved, by the Mayor and Aldermei of the city of Columbia, That in insti tilting a suit in the courts for the re oovery of the title to the property of thi oity known as the Agricultural Fai Grounds, it is not their intention ti Abridge, or interfere with the use am enjoyment of tho said grounds by th present Agricultural und Mechanical Su cinty of South Carolina, or any othor so oiety that may succeed it. Resolved, That the action of the Coan oil in this matter ia intended simply ti protect tho right of property in the city to protect the dignity of the city govern meut, and defend the city against pasta well as future unwarrantable onoroaoh monts on tho property and the corporal powers of tho pity. Resolved, That it is the intention o the present City Council, as soon us prc per legal relations are established be tween it aud the Agricultural and Meeba nical Society, to contribute liberally ii money to ita prosperity, and through i to the general welfare of the State, am of the city particularly. Your oommittee entirely oonoar with both the terms end spirit of the above resolutions of your predecessors, and believe that had the present Gounod been advised of their existence, your oommittee would not have been raised, for they are altogether respectful to all classes and parties, vindioate tho purpose of ordering the pending notion, and seemed to be demanded uliko by the in? terest and dignity of the city, while they are dearly and perf.iotly consistent with prosecuting the pending law-suit to fiual judgment. Your committoe, in prosecuting their duty, find that the following resolution, offered by Alderman Hope, a member of the City Council, of March 8, 1870, was adopted, to wit: Resolved, That his Honor th* Mayor is hereby authorized to conroy the Agri? cultural Fair Grounds to the Executive Committee of the Agricultural and Me? chanical Society, in accordance with the original intention of tho City Council, and that in pursuance of that resolution, (us your oommittee supposed was in? tended,) a deed was oxeen tod by the then Mayor, John McKenzie, dated the 14th day of March, 1870, conveying all that tract of laud situated, lying and being io the County of Richland, State afore? said, containing thirty acres, more or less, with oertaiu definite boundaries, in consideration of 61, to John B. Palmer, John P. Thomas, and William Wallace, 10 trust for the nae of the State Agricul? tural and Mechanical Sooiety. Now, neither nt that time nor up to the pre? sent time, did there exist, or docs there exist, nay such society known to the law. us tho City Attorney inform* them; and that the above-named gentlemen are in? capable m law of holding a trust for u uon-existeut body, aud, further, that the gentlemen above named wero not and are not the Executive Committee of auy incorporated body atpable of holding property, or exercising public functions. How, ^therefore, th? City Council of 1870 reconciled it with their secBC of publio duty to part with such a large and valuable property as the Fair Grounds for the oominal consideration of $1, and thereby dissever all connection with it, ouly five dayl before they wore ejected from office, is beyond the oompreheneioo of your oommittee. Besides, since the Fair Ground? were thus conveyed away by the City Council of 1870, the Fair Grounds, by an extension of the city limits to the North, have beoome pari and parcel of the oity territory, and sub? ject to ita political jurisdiction, just as much so as the city park, the public streets, or the publio markets. Your committee are informed by yon? law of? ficer that tho city cannot delegate it apo? litical powera, and that to give up by deed to others a part of its city govern? ment or jurisdiction, exoept to make them agenta to execute and enforce them, is a legal absurdity and impossibility. Your committee therefore submit the following resolutions: Resolved, That the City Attorney be instructed to prosecute the pending ao tiou of the city of Columbia vs. John B. Palmer, John P. Thomas and William Wallace to a speedy and final judgment. Resolved, That the present City Couu 011 desire only to preserve intact the rights, dignity and power properly per 'amiug to tha city of Columbia, in direct? ing the vigorous prosecution of the said action at law. Resolved, That th? present City Coan oil, in the spirit whioh characterized their immediato predecessors, intend to con? tribute liberally to the support of the annual fair in the oity of Columbia, a? soon aa its right of property in the fait grouuda, and its rightful political juris diction over them, shall have been ad? mitted or established. Respectfully sub mitted. (Signed) C. M. WILDER, C. J. CARROLL, S. B. THOMPSON, Committee. On motion of Alderman Thompson the recommendation of the committee was adopted.

I have decided that the law does not require the executive officers to furnish the tickets to those who desire to vote on these amondmeuta. The Legislatura has donn all that is necessary, in simply sub? mitting these amendments to the elec? tors, aud his Excellency the Governor in oalling the attention of the electors to the same in his "proclamation of elec? tion." I have, however, determined to print a sufficient number of tickets for ull the voters in the State, irrespective ef party, and will send them to the Com? missioners of Election, as I have done with all the other papers necessary for the election, with the request that they dibtribute them to the managers, who will thus be able to furnish all those who desire to voto eithet for or against these amendments, with the necessary tioket.
