COLUMBIA. S. C. Tuesday Morn mu, October 15,1872. For President of the United States. UOR.A.CXC OliEKIiKY. of New York. , For Vice-President H. OR/LTZ BUOWN, of Hliioorl. Rally to t!\e Foll?. Bat one day more is left for such of our citizouo ns aro still in doubt to de? termine what they will do in tho pend? ing Stute election. No man of ordinary intelligence, and who has a spark of genuino patriotism in his heart, can bo an indifferent looker-on, when a crisis affecting so deeply the interests of our dear old State confronts ns. This is co time for mere sentiment, or the indul? gence of our pot political theories, how? ever wise and just these may be in the abstract. The question is, will our peo? ple, our intelligent white people, who olaim to be actuated in their political oonduct by purely patriotio motives, content themselves with tamely surren? dering South Carolina into tho traitor? ous and corrupt hands of Franklin J. Moses? Let every citizen answer this question for himself, and let him farther remember that evory vote which might bo and is not cast for Tomlinson, counts a half voto for Moses. It is idle and absurd to say that there is no difference between Tomlinson and Moses. They are both Republicans, or claim to be, bat tho former has every right to bo considered an honest man, while tho latter cannot bc so pronounced by any 8?risible person. There aro thousands of mon in the State whom wo would prefer for Governor before Reuben TomlinBon; but F. J. Moses, Jr., tho ohief of the corrupt ring which has well nigh bankrupted our State, is not ono of them. Wo accept Reubeu Tomlinson and the Bolters' ticket throughout, as the best Republican candidates which the mattrriel of the party in this State af? fords. It is what we demanded, and what we are in good faith bound to support. Reform in oar State Government mast necessarily oome from the Repablioan party. The Bolters', or Orr movement, is the first effort made in the praise? worthy cause, and whether entirely satis? fied with it or not, it is the unmistakable doty of our Conservative voters to give it what assistance they can. It is the only practicable weapon within onr reach with which to strike the infamous ring that, like the veritable old man of the sea, has its loathsome legs looked around the neck of South Carolina, and will not be shaken off. The Bolters' movement does not pro? mise all that we would like. It may S'loceed, ami still many crying abuses bo left for oorrectioa. The men whom it offers as as candidates may not be alto? gether unexceptionable. Bat wo must remember that the decent, intelligent citizens of this oppressed State are not in a condition to make terms, or to en gigo in hair-splitting discrimination?. No great undertaking can bo accom? plished in a moment, nor can our State Government bo entirely purified in one election. We must work by degrees, bravely bend our shoulders to the wheel, and patiently keep them thero till we are oat of the mire. The most promi? nent good to be effected by the success of the Bolters is the defeat of the regu? lar ticket. It is party organization prin? cipally which has fastened bad officials apon as. Through their fears, thoir prejudices, and their impenetrable igno? rance, the oolored people are the blind slaves of party. A few bad men have control of the party machinery. They pack conventions, and have themselves nominated for office, and then feel sure of the negro vote. So long as the no? mination of a convention is equivalent to election, so long will these bad men have power to plunder us. If the Bolt? ers win, the power of conventions will be broken, and with that the inflaonco of the unscrupulous villains who now manipulate them. The negroes caa have no motive ia patting dishonest and in? competent men in oharge of public- af? fairs any more than white peoplo have, and once the false notion of party fealty which has been instilled into them, and which compote them to vote for tho dovil himself, if nominated, is dispelled, th ey will prove moro tractable, and will seek for other qualifications ia a candidate than the simple ono that the party con? vention has selected him. Wo aro glad to note tho rapid growth of tho Bolters' movement in favor of tho whites, within a short whilo back, and we havo moans of information from which wo feel authorised to say that there will be quito a fall white vote, par tioalarly ia tho upper Counties, and a fair voto throughout tho entiro State. After a oareful oaavass, those of tho Re? form Republicans who aro best able to judge assure as that there is no doubt of their receiving fully 25,000 colored votes. There are 55,000 white Conservative voters in the State, and two thirds of them can defeat Moses by a handsome majority. Let us rally, then, to the polia on Wednesday, and do that whioh, if not exactly what we would like to do, is still the best assistance whioh we oan, at this time, render our gallant old State, BO sorely beset by tho ruffian band under the leadership of her own renegade son, Franklin J. Moses, Jr. Booal Items. CITY. MATTERS.-Tho price of single copies of tho FHOKIX is fiveoents. Mr. Owen Daly has ndded two new aud handsome omnibuses to his railroad lino. Thoy wore built at the well-known establishment of Stevenson, 3d avenue, New York. Thanks to Postmaster Wilder, two im? portant additions hnvo been mado to tho ooQVonionoes pertaining to the Post Office-a gas lamp and a horse rack. The ladies turned out in full force, yesterday, to attend the "opening" of full and winter.millinory, at the mam? moth establishment of Iv. G. Shiver & Oo. Tho display waB elegant, and the styles so numerous as to go boyond "ye local's" powers of enumeration and de* soription. Thora wore large sizes and small sizes, gay colors and subdued colors, bridal and mourning hats, head? dresses and ornaments, flowers nud fea? thers. Madame de Hedemnn is in charge, and uses ber utmost exertions to gratify patrons. It ia understood that Sheriff Frazco is a candidate for re election. The roof of Judge Melton's dwelling was discovered to be on Are, last oven iug, but owing to the exertions of Mr. DeSauBsnro Bacot, (who climbed to the roof by means of the lightning-rod,) the flames were extinguished ina short time. There was a magnificent display of tho aurora borealis, or Northern lights, last night. Notwithstanding tho bril? liant light of the moon, the Northern heavens were flooded with rod. By proclamation from Mayor Alexan? der, all bar-rooms in tho city aro to be dosed from this evening, at G o'clock, until Thursday, at 6 A. M. Don't bo surprised at tho sensational heading relative to the new Post Office, but read the advertisement of tho Indian Girl.

C. aro earnest in the matter, and are usinj every endeavor to make the "Fair of thi Carolinas" a success. It may bo regard ed as a fair of tho two Carolinas-hun dreds of South Carolinians from tho ad jacent Counties being active participants The grounds and buildings aro in excel lent condition, while the track is said t< be one of tho best in the country. Ther are complete arrangements for much i u or; of all kinda, nud comfortablo quarter for stock. We tender our aoknowledg ments to President Alexander for a com plimentary admission card. HARRAS CORPUS.-Henry C. Carter who was arrested in our city, severn days ago, oo tho charge of forging number of letters purporting to hav been signed by Wm. A. Richardson sub-Treasurer of tho United States, an Brigadier-General Forrest Porter, an delivered to Gen. F. J. Moses, Jr., Wno Gurney and others, was bofore Judg Melton, yesterday afternoon, upon writ of habeas corpus. Tho Sheriff mad his return through Josoph Daniel Pope Esq., representing tho State. Tho eas was then elaborately argued by Messrs Boonu and LeConte, for the applicaul and Mr. Pope, ou tho part of tho Statt Judge Melton reserved his decision uut this morning.

This oase wc not oonoluded up to 4 o'clock, whou th court adjourned until this morning, i 10 o'clock. LAYING THE CORNER-STONE OF THE UNITED STATES OOUBT HOUSE AND POST OFFICE-INTEBKSTIKQ CEREMONIES.-Tho comer-at o no of the Uni tod States Court Hoase aud Post Office, located on the South-west corner of Richardson and Laurel afreets, was raid, yesterday morn? ing, with appropriate ceremonies, by the Masouic fraternity of the city. At 10 o'clock, tho procession was formed in front of Masonic Hall, and under the direction of Grand Marshal R. E. B. Howetson, proceeded to tho new build? ing. Prof. Machar, with tho iiuo baud of thu ISLh lu fun l ry, furnished the music. Thc entrance to tho grounds, ns well as tho derrick, etc., was decorated with wreaths and garlands. Upou reach? ing tho platform, tho orle, "Wheu earth's foundation lirst waslaid," was sung by the choir-tho voices being accompanied by a parlor organ. After music by thc band and a short prayer by Deputy Grand Mas? ter Berg, the stone was raised, and iu the cavity a hermetically-sealed jar-con? taining lists of tho National, Stato and city governments, names of tho super? vising aud superintending architect.1:, Masonic lodges, ocpies of city daily pa? pers and coin of this year's dato-wa? placed. The stone was theu lowered by means of a derrick, and properly ad* justed by Superintending Architect P. J. McCullough and Mr. P. Grieshuber. Tho stone hoing iou nd in proper posi? tion, "well formed, true and trusty," tho silver oops containing the "corn of nourishment," "tho wino of refresh? ment," and "tho oil of joy," were suc? cessively presented, ami tho contents emptied upon tho stone. After prav'er, Depnty Grand Master Berg delivered the working implements to Superintend? ing Architect McCullough, and tho an? them, "Let there be light," was very prettily rendered by tho choir. Grand Master Berg then delivered a moat ex? cellent and well written address, which was responded to by tho brethren with "So moto it be-Amen." Another an? them-"Hail, Masonry Divine" - and then the benediction. Tho procession then re-formed and marobee! back to Masonic Hall, where it was dismissed. There was a large number of persons prosont-among thom Senator Robert? son, to whom tho credit justly belongs of being the canse of the erection of the building. Seats had been erected fur the accommodation ol the ladies, n goodly number of whom were present. The following ia the address in full of Deputy Grand Master Berg: LADIES, GENTLEMEN AND BRETHREN: We aro assembled here ns Freo and Ac? cepted Masons, to lay tho corner-stone of a stately building, tho United States Conrt House and Post Office-a building long needed in our commnuily, and now successfully commenced through the in? strumentality of one of our brethren and citizens, Col. T. J. Rubert3ou, United States Senator of our Congressional Dis? trict. Wo regard this as an interesting occasion-interesting, because it leads us back to the time when our ancient order still practiced tho operative art. How far back wo may trace tho origin of Masonry, wo leave to the speculation of those who desire to make this a mat? ter of investigation and study. I will only pussiugly remark, that there are some who endeavor to trace Musonry back to the creation of tho world. Some date its origin from tho timo of Noah; others, from the building of King Solo? mon's Temple, and others content them? selves to truce it to tl.i time of the Gor mau Steinmetzen, ( . jno-inusnns,) who flourished and wrought in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries; while still others claim the seventeenth century as the time when Masonry was lirst fairly organized. Severul incontrovertible facts lead me, however, to believe that wo may safely go far beyond tho seventeenth century iu tracing our ancestry. Be this as it may, all are agreed that the order of Freo and Accepted Masons is a very ancient brotherhood, possessed of im? portant secrets, which aro carefully guarded, and transmitted in their pris? tine purity to the initiated from genera? tion to gouoration. But it is not our purpose to dwell on tho antiquity of Masonry. Wo will, therefore, direct your attention to some? thing of a moro general interest, namely, "What good, if any, has Masonry ac? complished, and has it fulfilled its mis? sion?" First, thou, "What good, if any, has Masonry accomplished?" We reply, that it has accomplished much, and that its happy influence is felt by you all. Man is a social being; he docs not live unto himself alone, and to bo banished from tho society of his follow-mcn, is tho sovcrcst punishment which can bo inflict? ed upon a human being. The social qualifications, us ODO of tho essential conditions of the happiness of man, are eminently cultivated by MaRons, aud therefore it ia that wo congregate in our lodges for social pnrposes. This subjects us to many uujust slanders, through the unfounded assertion, that in our meet? ings, wo iudulgo too freely iu tho intoxi? cating cup. As wo have no means of hoeing into tho heurts of mon, when ap? plying for initiation, wo at times niuko mistakes by rejecting good material and preferring'tho iufortor. Thus it is that mon are admitted iuto our order who oanuot curb their strong appetites, and who, by their baso conduct, not only disgrace themselves, but, in addition, bring bad reputo npon tho entire fra? ternity-at least, iu tho eyes of tho ont sido world, which koowcth DO charity. That we have these ulcers, noue regret more than wo do; for the true Mason is always fictively zealous to sustain the fair reputation of his order, uud will avoid everything wnich may tend to sally the institution which hu venerates on account of its exalted touchings. Those cast-aways wero taught better; wero charged, io thc most impressive, ruuuner, that every brother ought to bold dear the four cardinal virtues-tempor?neo, fortitudo, prudouco and justice. Yet, while we do not and cannot deny that wo havo at times admitted members whom wo wero afterwards compelled to discard, ou account of their failings, very mauy have been induced to forsake tho path of vice, ami, ruined by tho strong arm of Masonry, have been given back to the world, useful aud honorable mon. Tho outside world, watching our foibles on overy step, sees only tho dark side, while it remains ignorant of tho happy changas wrought by us, and if it knew it, it would not ba willing io give us credit, for tho multitude takes peculiar delight to dc tract from real merit. But we do not congregate- for social purposes only; wo Luve a much higher and nobler aim. We assemble especially for the sake of moral improvement., be? cause it is our object to make mun better; in other words, to make a perfect ashlar out of a rough ODO, just as the.se masons have done here, with the chisel and ham? mer. This vory corucr-stone, now beau? tiful to the eye, when brought here from tho quarry iu its rough state, was un? sightly to behold. All its sides wero rough; but tho repeated strokes of the hammer, the frequent application of the square, have ruado it what it is: a fair, true and well-tried corner-stone, to lie undisturbed for centuries, nud speak to futuro generations of our skill and in? dustry. If those rough ashlars yonder, des? tined for tho uso uf this building, have but one flaw, the workmen fail in all their attempts to inako thom perfect yet how many flaws has the human heart ! is it, thou, to ho wondered at, that in spite of onr best endeavors, wo at times fad to make man botter? If the opera? tivo mason discovers a flaw, whioh a certain hollow sound indicates to him, ho ceases to work, and rejects tho ?tone as unlit; it is thrown among the rubbish. Dare wo do tho same with our material wheu found defective? Ila^ not our ma? terial au immortal life? Wo, thorcfore, must continue to work, although we often find, tho ground unprepared to re? ceive the seed, which can only bear good fruit when it is sown into the well-worked ground. Our efforts never relax, for what we fail to accomplish to-day we may effect to-morrow. When the seed does quicken nono can tell, for it is wonderfully wrought in secret, is left to Him alone who fashioned the seed, euch after its own kiud. Let us then, brethren, never despair if wo fail to see tho fruit come to maturity at onoe; let ns uso the hammer incessantly, until we accomplish what our operative musons here to-day present to our view, this perfect ashlar, this truo corner stone. For the little charity whioh we spend, wo claim no credit, because it is a duty devolving upon all men, although vio? lated by those whose hearts are harder than this grauite. Onr motto is, lot not thu left hand kuow what the right hand docs, and therefore wo do not parado our charitable acte, preferring that they should remain unobserved by by-stand era. Wo will, therefore, not lift the veil that hides onr charitable deeds. Masonry serves asa bond of union, because it brings men iuto fraternal in? tercourse, who would have otherwise re muiuedata "perpetual dist anec." Ours is not a selfish union, for it is open ta all who come well recommended. The king meets his tubject on the samo levei platform; rank and distinction are laid asido iu the lodge. The hammer knocks off these human frailties; the poorest and tho richest, tho highest and the lowost are seated side by side. The kiug divests himself of bia purplo and becomes a brother, for royalty weighs nothing iu tho .Masonic balance. Masonry opeus doors that would other? wise be shut. Many of you, my hearers, havo gone to strange places where noue knew you, and you felt lonely. It k otherwise with us; for wherever we gu wo meet brethren, and are received ut brethren. Masonry teaches toleration. It teaches us not to persecute men who may diffoi from us io opinion, and to respect them, although their peculiar views may clash with our own. Tho weakness to con? demn any ono on account of his creed or politics, has been the causo of hatred and feud; but mon will not learn that thc opinion of othors may bo as good as their own, or at least entitled to theil regard. Masonry cultivates rnau's mind, clo vates his thoughts; abovu all, it teaches the brcthroi to overcome prejudices for so long as wo are blinded by preju? dice, we aro not capable of judging cor rectly; wo cannot distinguish between what is right and what is wrong. Wc must learn to form our own judgment, bused upon sound reasoning; we must not bo swayed hither nod thither, like a brokou reed, nor onght wo always follow popular opinion, for it is often wrong. Tho true Mason onght, therefore, to be a man of character. Masonry bas first nursed art and science In fact, thoso were originally entrusted to tho craft, and wero neither known to, nor practiced by, tho unini? tiated. And though mon afterwards ex? celled in tho arts and sciences who were no Masons, they built upon tho ground? work which had boca securely laid by our brotherhood. My Christian friends, that you aro to? day allowed to worship God according to the dictates of your conscience, is, tc a large extent, owing to tho influenco ol Masonry. I do not wish to bo under? stood as assorting that tho reformers and martyrs were all Masons-far from it; bul I do maintain that Masonry educated and directed tho miuds of thuir fellow men, not only by word, but also by their works. Masonry cherisher freedom of thonght. Tho brethren were wisely instructed, and could not fail to teach other in tarn. They wrought incessantly to im? prove themselves, and thereby brought about the moral and intellectual im? provement of all with whom they came in contact. It is a selfish mau who, spongo-likc, absorbs all the learning be can, ouly for the purpose of retaining it. Our brethren acted otherwise. I said that our aueient brethren taught their ootomporuries not only by word, but also by their works. Look, for in? stance, at those grand Gothic cathedrals, which were simultaneously erected by the Ktoiumetzun through Germauy and Great Britain. Those towering spires, stretching up towards tho beavens, were but tho emanation of their free thoughts. Who eau behold these lofty spires, with thoir ornamental pinnacles and open walls, supported only by a few flying buttresses, yet possessing strength enough to withstand the storm and the corroding tooth of time-who, I say, cen behold these truly magnificent struct? ures, und doubt that onr ancestors were men of mind and refined sentiment? Are not our productions the reflex of our whole being? These Masons started a new school, aud with it begau a newera. Tho inspiration of free thought, was thu spark which was eventually funned into a furnace of fire, which melted tho iron fetters that held free thonght in bond? age. These lofty spires are living tongues, which proclaim, day and night, thought must be free! The cloud, small at first, gathered strength, growing into a storm, and hea? ven's forked lightning, courted by the sharp-pointed spirea, piercing the ele? ments, came down, robbed of their power to barm, and broke tho gulling yoke. Thought was free; and tho result is, that we to day worship God accord? ing to tho dictates of our conscience. L'liis great victory was not achieved with? out shedding of blood; bat to prevent tho effusion of blood is another aim of Masonry. Masonry opposes everything like strife and violence; mind must con? quer. Yet while the votaries of Masonry shun war asan evil, und have continually endeavored to mitigate its horrors, they aro not wnutiug in patriotism whenever their country demands their strong arms and willing hearts. Of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, all but two were Masons. The Father of onr Country, as we love to call him, was a Mason, and so were roany of his generals. The country in which we live has the first claim on us, and, therefore, when? ever tho tocsin of war sounds, tho mem? bers of our fraternity rush to arms. This io tho natural impulse of an inhe? rent love for country, which we find im planted ia the breast of every haman being; for no matter how cheerless, how sterile a country may be, its children, when far off, sigh for home. I venture to Bay though, without fear of contradiction, that while tho membors of our brotherhood draw their swords in tho defenoo of their country, they will never wantonly spill tho blood of an euoojy. Many a musket, already leveled on its deadly mission, hus been lowered, when bo who pointed it recognized a brother, and thousands of lives buvo been spared, and a vast amount of pro? perty hus been saved from needlers de? struction. I could hero enumerate many most interesting incidents, nut only in the civilized world, but also among the Indians; yet why do it, when many of you must buvo benefitted from the influ? ences of this powerful arm at a time when wo were all sorely tried, and the cup of bitterness was held to our lips? Masons were everywhere at work to help, and to save property, and iu very many instances their efforts were crowned with success. Wo will now consider the second part of our address-"lias Masonry fulfilled its mission?" Wo answer no, although wo hear it frequently asserted that there is no longer auy necessity for tho exer? tion and influence of Musonry, and that the order has outlived itself. But ad long as tho four cardinal virtues-Tem? perance, Fortitude, Prudence and Jus? tice-aro not the sole motive power of man's evory notion, there is need for Masonry. As long ns men indulge in the free use of tho intoxicating cup-as long as men lack strength of mind to shun evil and do good-as long as injus? tice pollutes God's earth-we dare not lay aside tho chisel and the hammer. Yes, as long as there is but one rough ashlar left, wo must work it. "The su? perfluities of vice" must come off before the perfect ashlar is obtained. As long as thero is bat a single man to bo re? gained to usefulness, we must npply the plumb of rectitude, the square of mo? rality, in accordance- with the design on tho trestle-board. As long - as the soand of distresE reaches, though but faintly, our ear, wc must extend the helping hand and drj tho tears of sorrow-no matter whence tho waitings como, North, South, Easl or Wost ; whether from Greek or Roman, Jew or Gentile, wo care not, because wt are taught to look upon distress witli feelings of commiseration. As long as a luck of union separate: man from man, engendering harsh ant bitter feelings, thero is need for Masonry, for wo must spread tho cemont of bro therly lovo and affection; wo must be ready, with trowel ia hand, until thai bond of union is established whicl cements these lifeless rocks. As long as distinctions separate mar from mau, there is need for the Mason'i level, especially when we consider thai the wealthy have scarcely over folt what temptation is. At their cradle was luxa ry; they grow up in opalenco, and i they never sinnod against the seventh commandment, what praise do they de servo? Is not tho poor, industrious man, who struggles against poverty, suf? fers privations, and yet remains honost is ho not worthy to sit Bide by sido with the king? As long as man is intolerant, selfish, blinded by prejudice, wo mast remove tho hood-wiuk and bring him to light. As long RH ignoranoe, darkness and sa perstition blind man, we dare not extin? guish the burning tapora aronnd oar attar. As long as thought is not free, free os the air whioh wo breathe, that long we oauoot olose the lodges, that lou g we must build temples und spires which reach into thc Heavens, and speak with tongues more powerful than our own. Free thought, as some believe, is not dan? gerous, if you give it free scope. Thia remiud8 me of an allegory I read when a boy, and which made a powerful and lasting impression upon me. It had escaped tho scissors of the censor, whoso business it was to carefully examine everything to be printed, that tho minds of tho subjects of the King of Prussia might not be poisoned. It ran thus: A wise king, possessing a large tract of dry, burren land, thonght that it might be improved by carefully watering it. The necessary works had been fiuished and a day appointed when tho sluices were to be opened and moisten the parched land. Tho king and bis statesmen were with him ou this occasion, und nt the first opening of tho sluices the rushing waters sent forth foam and spray, which splashed upon some of the courtiers. They implored the king to stop such dangerous proceedings; but the wiso king smiled, and said: "Open the gates wide," when tho waters rushed out into a solid stream, a blessing to tho dry land. As long ns man engages in wcrfare and carnage, is blinded by infuriated passion, there is need for Masonry; we must keep open our halls, work the rough ashlers; in other words, we must learn to subdue our passions and improve ourselves in Mnsoury. And now, brethren, having briefly re? viewed what Masonry bas accomplished, und what it still must accomplish in order to ameliorate the condition of man, let us work with reuewed strength and zeal. If we do not see the fruit of our work at once, let us not despair, but let us work without ceasing-for the hour comoth when no mnn can work; and when at last, after having faithfully done the task given us to do, we appear before the eternal Grand Master, when tried by Sis unerring square, may webe found os true as tho aoroar-stone whioh we have laid this day. PHO.SIXIANA.-The rejoicings of the Grantites are oxtreme, but their buds of promise may yet feel a "Dipping frost."
