PKESIDKNTIAII ELECTORS.-Mate al Large-??. P. O'Connor, of Charleston; W. H. Wallace of Uaion; S. A. Pearce, of Riohland. First District-W. W. Walker, of Georgetown. Second District-Johnson Hagood, of Barnwell. Third District-S. Fair, of Nowbery. Fourth District-W. R. Robertson, of FaTrueld. _ ti .f_ Gov, Ferry'? Keineriy. We pablished, yesterday, a long and earnest letter from the Hon. B. XT. Perry, lato candidate for Congress lrom the Fourth Congressional District, to fjhe peoplo of the District. Coming from the high Booroo which it does, and at? tacking in flucti a bold and direct way the evils which beset us, tho lotter muet prove interesting, and will be doubtless widely circulated and freely commented upon. lu what Qov. Perry has said of the baneful apathy of tho white peoplo in the lost election, we most heattily concur. There is no doubt that we loat' a rare opportunity of redeeming our State by failing to give the bolters a cordial and full support, and thus break-; jug the pov/er of tho corrupt ring whioh has shaped the destinies of our State for the lost four years, and brought her into disrepute, bankruptcy and well-nigh min. In his picture of tho lamentable state of affairs, by whioh tho bulk of tho property and intelligence of the State is .practically ostracised and domocl partici? pation or power in tho management of .their local affairs, Gov. Perry has not exaggerated the melancholy and well nigh hopeless situation. But wo oaunot cpnour ia either:the righteousness or the expediency of the remedy whioh he offers, to bring the colored people to a more hoalthlul political tone of mind. , In tho first place, it is wrong, admit? ting, as .we have done, by our endorse? ment of the Cincinnati platform, that "tho .colorod popple h a vu a legal right to vate-whioh we proposo no longer to question-to attempt in any way to coerce them Vi its free exercise. So long as wo denied taeir rights of citizenship, it was not iuooneHtent, illegal nor unjust, from our stand-point, to prevent them from enjoying the privileges ot oitizons. But that day has passed, and we have, bj our prompt and ununimouj endorsement of Greeley and his platform, pledged our? selves no longer to oppose the equal rights and privileges of tho colored peo? ple. It is repugnant to the genius of o\ir free institutions that any man, however poor or ignorant, should be forced to vote as some other man, even though he be more wealthy, intelligent, and even virtuous, shall dictate. Ia the second place, the remedy is in? expedient. The desire for gain on tho part of the individual land-holder would make it impracticable to be carried out, and it would antagonize tho races as they have never before beoa. There is a simpler-slower, perhaps, but eurer remedy left to us whereby to bring about a conoert of political notion between blacks sud whites, and it is immeasura? bly preferable to that offered by Gov. Perry, in that it is peaceful and alto? gether right and proper. We must make it to the plain interest and to the desire of the colored people to vote with u-. iu the overturning of tho presont corrupt oligarchy and the establishment of an honest and economical government. We are not prepared as yet to give particular suggostiouB as to how this happy eud may be accomplished. There is ouo avenue oertainly open to us at this time, by winch we eau make rapid aod sure progiMds into the conti lenee and good? will of our late slaves, and that is through the commendable zeal whioh they all have to acqniro an education, and the limited opportunities in that direotion now afforded them. We have it in our power to do a great deal in this way for the negro. It is a philanthropic work, and moreover it is our patriotic duty, and .of primo ' necessity to the futuro welfare of our State. Th? Kplxootic. This is the Darno given, and very pro? perly, wo presume, to the general disease whioh is inflicting thousands of horses nt tho North. The disease, it appears, had its immediate origin in Canada, und has spread to all tho largo Northern cities until now it,readies Baltimore. The nature of the epizootic seams to bo something like ' influenza or catarrhal fever ia individuals. The horse, when utfcacked, becomes hot and feverish in tho body, oold in bis extremities, his eyes red and watery, and there is generally a discharge from the nose. Tho discaso, from the symptoms described, does not seem to differ greatly from lung fever, which was so prevalent among the horses of tho cavalry and artillery service dur? ing the war. Bot it does cot appear to be anything like so fatul lh its -results. Indeed, ^he mortality appears'to hie very slight. 01 the thuuGu -.du ? f horses re? ported to be affected in Now York, we have nofc-n?tioed that a single one, so far, h UH died. Still, the pecuniary IOBS from the stagnation of business is, per? haps, nearly as great as tho actual death of the horses would be. Io New York, the drayage, tho street oar abd the ex? press businesses are almost* entirely checked; thr'eo-fourths of the horses being more or less affected, and, conse? quently, on Qt for duty. Many of thom, however, are rapidly recovering, and it ia now ' believed that the worst of the plague is over. Numbers of horses have again beon pat to work after their re? covery. Gen. Grant has done well to ennoble his Administration with a brilliant act of elorouuevy, albeit he is not much given to tho melting mood. Two "noble reds," who have improved the Shining boors of rather long livea in effectively wielding tho torch and tomahawk, whoso wigw?uia dre graced' with the-sdalps of innumera? ble women and clu'ldron, whose corrals aro full of mu lei? and horses stolen fro n.i settlors, ar?. to 'hu pardoned and' restored to tho welcoming1 ar tri rf -Of tho ; .horde of thieves who own "their'cUiefrj provided they keep qulet'tor'a" time'. !lTb?'iti?rby exhibited in this case: is not nt rall strained, and wo only marvel that its foreo is expended on Indians instead of white mon; ''th(it in roaching ,for tho prairies of.Texas it. has entirely over? looked ibro'^ohlteb'ti?fy dt^?lbuny.

It. is marvelous thal the people of the United States submit so tamely to the incarceration of the first Slate prisoners ever held in durance by the republic. Notoriously eon viet ed upon false and insufficient testimony, in accordance with a law tyrannical to the highest degree, and entirely inconsistent with the Constitution nuder whioh we lire, ono would naturally expect the po? pular fears to be excited, and at least un impartial inquiry forced, us to the condi? tion of these onfortnnate viotims. On the contrary, they seem to have been forgotten. The Exeoutive hand, in slamming their dungeon door, seems to have shut them out equally from his own and tho public's sympathy. The mur? derers, Sintanta and Big Tree, are to be pardoned ; but the poor North aud South Carolina farmers must still sailer, to point the modern moral of orime against the State. How long! oh, Lord, how long? . . 4 ????-? MB. EDITOH: About one year ago, I attender! ah agricultural fair in a North? ern town, In whioh four railroads cen? tred. The hotel accommodations ot the town were too limited by far for the crowds that attended the fair. Hence tho railroad? rau into town every morn? ing and out of town every afternoon during fair week-a traiu of cars for about sixty miles. Consequently, thou? sands attended the fair that would not otherwise have done so. Are. we not aitnilarly situated here in Columbia? Evo ry fall, during the fair, our hotels are literally stoffdd, and hundreds com? plain of not being abto to obtain quar? ters. It our railroads would run morn? ing trains in and evening trains out, next week, would not hosts come to thc fair who otherwise would not attend? I have heard that Cul. Bridgora intend* running un extra daily from aud to Ma? rion C. H. Could not our uewly-olecteii and courteous President of the Cher lotte, Columbia and Augusta Railruui] run au extra train from Cheater C. H. and tho Pine House? Aud why cunuol Oraugeburg, Newberry und Union ht accommodated in tlu< sumo way duriuf fair week? Every mun that these truint wonld bring to Columbia would circulait a few dimes or dollars amongst us, aud tho aggregate would be a fortune. Plat' form oars, with simple c toady benches would suffice for near poiuts. I havt seen such ears, while stu adi ig ut thc depots waiting for the ougiuo, beautifully festooned with evergreens and shad* bushes, so as to make them look com fortable, at least. I hope this mattel will attract tho attention of our railroae authorities, and obeap transportai iou foi the thousands will bo furnished them ti como to Columbia next week. _ PROGRESS. The American ship Energy, Captait Caulkins, from Cardiff to Port Royal with railroad iron, went ashore shout f o'clock, on Sunday morning, tho 20th off Hunting Island.

Pl a m er, D. D., LL D. A un ou U. F. Randolph & Co., New York, .1872. ? I l'hirt ootumoutary hus j nat mwj? ita appearance in royal octavo, covering 559 pages; uniform:in siz*, letter prose and binding with Dr. Plumer'a Commentary on the Epistle to tho Romans. Both commentaries are works of the highest merit, combining ail the benefits of criti? cism and leurmng With the inculcation of doctrinal and practical godliness. As a cr raiqou tutor, Ur. Plumer hoe struck ont a ri?w method of exposition. It iaxrrrginal ??ici n?BDwn. He expounds, analyzes ead applies the truth. Tholock and Olsbausen, of the German commen? tators, are good expositors of the book of Hebrews, but thuy aro critical. Tur? ner, Paterson, Stuart, Scott, and a host of English, American and Scottish scho? lars, are learned'and good, but oftpo too critical fot tho .ordinary reader. '.Owen is critical, elaborate, ex bau stive, und dif? fuse, and on Hebrews, as io all his other writings, uot suited to tho ordinary reader. Robert Hall was perhaps more severo than just wheu hu said, "John O wenn' writings are a continent of mud." Still, it must be admitted that, as a general ruin, two classes of writers must bo road and studied in order to profit by tho perusal of any books of Scripture; wo must study thu critic to reach the meaning of the text, nod wo munt study tho sermonizer tu get at thu practical in? fluence which the truth of revolution is designed to exercise on the heart and life. While, then, one class of men write for the hearls aud another for tho hearts of their reuders, Dr. Plumc-r writes for both. He writes with all the power aud wisdom of a scholar, and all the soul-stirring earnestness of a Chris? tian. These peculiarities of Ur. Plumor as a commentator, render it unnecessary for any other man to write on tho books of Scriptoro whioh have engaged his pen. Houoe it is that his great work on the Psalms of David and Ins Treatise on the Epistle to the Romans aro not only, like the work before us, exhaustive, but they give in their expositions the opi? nions of all commentators who aro worth reading. Thou they give his own views, sud eaoh section closes with a series of doctrinal and practical observations. His commentaries are, therefore, foll ol erudition, deep thought and prnotical power. The bearing of every truth he enunciates.upon the heart and life of thc reader, is one of the prominent and lead? ing excellencies of Ur. Plumer'a method of expounding .Scripture. The volume ou thu Hebrews is bis last And cortuiuly one of bia ablest efforts an a scholar, an author and a divine. It i* a book suited alike to the family, the congregational and theological library, aud well worthy of a place in them ali. The student will profit by its learning the minister by its expositions aud the private Christian by its pointed und heart-searching application of truth. Few writer? in this or any country have boon so laborious and HO successful in the domain of pructiual theology aa Ur. Plomer. In addition to the three treatises named above, he has written u masterly work ou tho Siuaio Code, enti? tled "The Law of God;" another, enti? tled "The Grace of Christ;" another, "Vital Godliness;" auother, "The Rook of Salvation," and a treatise on Provi? dence, entitled "Jehovah-Jireh." , Besides these ho has written severn smaller books of great merit; aud, as t traat writer, he is said to bu the best it America. Th eu, with all the labor of hil pen, he lectures daily iu the Tbeologiua Seminary at Columbia, S. C., during tut winter session, aud preaches every Sab? bath day, often 1U0 to 150 miles fron: Columbia. Ho has spout a long, laborious anc useful life, aud wheu taken from th? church on earth, in his writings ho wil still speak fur tho Lord and Master. Wo doubt not bia many admirers it Augusta will hail the appearance of hi Commentary on tho Hebrews with grea delight.-Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel Menor io READERS.-The Philadel ullin Star bile thu nail on tho head ii say i ng that ono of the secrets of success fal journalism, in these progressive days is to give uo mora extended notice t< mattera than persona interested in thee eau find time to read.

A WOMAN'U COMMENT.-Tho Woman* Journal, in referring to a recent notori ons case, iu which a woman was acquit ted of a charge of murder, in utter dis regard of tho evidence, Mys: "If hal the jury had been women, in acourdauc with tho spirit of tho law, tho prisooe would most probably have been cot victed." Referring to tho discussion now gnin on in Franco regarding tho question t opening gumbliug establishments i France, a Puris lotter-writer says that i is authoritatively ?tated that in the 7 clubs, 1,100 hotels, and 600 lodging houses, as well as in thu cafes, winoshopi und at the tables d'hote in that city, gun blmg is a permuuont institution. There is wheat enough stacked up o tho wharf at Stockton, Cul., to make tier of sacks six feet high and fort miles long. The agent of the Visali Railroad at that place states that there i double this quantity stacked up alou tho road, aud uot oue-fourth of tho oro along the lino of tho road is yet huule to the traok.

His entertain? ment takes the form of ? monologue something like Charles Mathews* "Afc Home," or Winchell's exhibition. It will contain a great variety of imperson? ations, brief comic lectures, songB, &o. From tho style in which it is written, and his well known personal character, the entertainment is sure to bo not Only au agreeable one, but one with which the moat fastidious taste cannot find fault, Mr. Russell has for the past seven \ears traveled with tho Berger Family and the Peak Family, and in his vaca? tions hos frequently tried giving an en? tertainment ot the above character. ' His attempts have met with such success as to warrant him adopting tbut line of business permanently. Hu is accompa? nied by Mr. James E.

Neither Prince Bismarck nor Count Audrassy, the Austrian Pre? mier, believes that peace will continuo, and the meeting of the Emperors at Ber? lin waa due to tho desire on tho part of the high contracting powers interested to come to an understanding upon this subject. Ev.'u Servia claims that she can pur 300.0t>0 men into the field, and whilo Itaiy is fortifying Monte Mario, on the Italian sida of tho l?lout Genie tun? nel, to guard ugaiubt the French military preparations ut Modano. on Lhe French side of the Alps.

The Peoria Review thus correots a story of the Missouri Democrat about 1,000 sheep who leaped through the window of a covered bridge near Peoria: Tho story ia very nearly correct. There were, however, only (330 sheep in the drove, instead of 1,000. The bell? wether did not see the open window. It did not jump out of it. The Hock did not follow it. There ia no window in the bridge. The drover did not drive his sheep across tho bridge; he orossed at the ferry, three miles higher ap stream. If the bridge was 500 feet above high? water mark, the present piers would have to be lengthened 460 feet io order to reach the bridge. There is not a co? vered bridge within 1,700 miles of Peo? ria. With these typographical inaccura? cies, the romance is correct. A Paris engiueer has just been "hoist with his own petard" in a literal 6?nse; i.e., blown to pieces by tho accidental explosion of au iufernal machine, whose destraotive properties he had intended for th? benefit of the Prussians, should another war break out. The man's name was Durieox; and for many months he hud labored assiduously at his benevolent invention, whioh was to sweep away wholo ranks of the enemy at a single discharge. At last the moment came for the filial proof. Durieux pro? cured a hundred leaden toy soldiers, dressed them in tbo Prussian uniform, placed them before his instrument of Vengeance, fired it, and blew himself to pieoes. The New York Tribune association, years ago, insured the life of Horaoe Greeley fo- an amount stated as high as 8250,000, and have since regularly paid up the premiums.
