?Qt?l^Bt|L. S. 0. Thursday Morning, November 14,1872. . Reform. i II ia the eaaieat thing in the world to talk reform; it is one of the hardest to effect it A man goes astray very natn rally, by foroo of the old Adam within him; bat to rcoovor himself, and repair his damaged morale, is a difficulty which tries bis unaided powers to their utmost tension. And what is trae of in? dividuals, is oven more strikingly truo of parties. Men aggregated together lose, in large measure, tho sen bo of re? sponsibility whioh each feels separately. Being divided amongst all, and held to bo binding only on the mass as a whole, it decays in a corresponding degree in ?agil kiuiviJual member. Men will take liberties in a crowd whioh they daro not do alone. Corporations, pro ' Terbially, have no soals, and parties and cliques are swayed mainly by the cohe? sive power of the advantages whioh their organization and system give them. In patties, sb in individuals, to continue the* parallel, it wonld bo better to resist the beginnings of evil. That is the time when headway can be most sorely made against them. It is abstinence that is. required. Taste not, touoh not, handle not th& unclean thing. It is not difficult to break a single stick, bat the oompaot fagot defies our strength; Thus it would have b9en practicable and comparatively easy for the Govern? ment of tho United States, had it con? tinued in the'hands of wise and good men, to have been kept in the path of fidelity to the Oonstitulion and to laws made strictly in pursuance thereof. It was originally one deflection, followed later by another, and nnother, until the stream of misrule and corruption be camo overpowering and irresistible, that has caused the oat-pouring of the vials of wrath, and brought upon the country, at this early period of its life, an "Iliad of woes." Maoauley's criticism that our Government had too much sail for its ballast, was partially true; but virtuu iu oar rulers, enforcing responsibility everywhere, wonld havo supplied the ballast otherwise wanting, and the ship of'State, if steered by the ohart of the Constitution, might have made a pros? perous and eaocessfnl voyage. These general remarks find a further application to our own State. Here, too, abstinence wonld have been better than the reform whioh is so lavishly promised as. The party now so overwhelmingly placed' in power, is the same that has had control of the State Government for the last four years. It began with viola? tions of the State Constitution whioh themselves bad made. It enacted laws not in comformity with its provisions. They are open doors to fraud, and, at the same time, so many shields of pro? tection against every attempt to bring its perpetrators to jnstioe. The swindles of the Land Commission, Continental Tele- ? graph Company and conversion bonds; the\bribery need in passing phosphate and many other objectionable bills; tbe fraudulent isane of pay certificates?all havo their warrant and sanction or per? mission in these laws. In a charge to a jury, one of the newly elected members of the SUte Government?Attorney General Melton?has aomplained of their glaring defect^. We are thankful for bo mach, bat how oan yon get a better Bet of laws nnlesB you get a better set of men to pass them? And how can you tarn a running stream, with its accumu? lated filth and mad, back to its pure source? The State Republican party, through its leaders now about to take hold of the helm of State, and in its platform, has promised many reforms. If promises could save as, then are wo heuccforth secure. R, H. Cain, who supported tho nomination of Mr. F. J. Moses, Jr., upon the gronnd that if he bad squan? dered the money of the State, it was . done for the benefit of the poor, and that he was a pliable young man, now, in his Missionary Record, says that "tho policy indicated in the Republican State Convention will bo striotly carried out by the Legislature and State ofiioors," and that efforts will be made throughout the State to secure to the people onboard of prosperity, &o. These bo valiant words. The father will find it no easy task to make them good. We are will? ing, however, to believo that these men may havo some slight glimpses of right, and ohorish some faint pur? poses of amendment. This is some? thing different from fixedness of convic? tions and thoroughly honest intentions. In the endeavor to oarry out even their limited view of reform, supposing thorn in earnest enough to attempt it, thoy will encounter almost insnperablo obstacles. We wish them well over them. Wo are charitable enough to admit that their good intentions probably exceed any ca? pacity they have to execute them. The task whioh they profess themselves ready to undertake involves, if faithfully per? formed, sturdy rowing op the stream, and the patient ..Unweaving of ^hope? lessly tangied weh. But no Words of oars shall dampen any ardor they feel, any genuine efforts they may make, in the cause of substantial retrenchment and reform. What ttte Country Will Require of General Grant. Daring his present Presidential term, the friends of General Grant havo always auducod, ns tho reason for the nogli genoes aud short-comings of their chief, his iuexporienco in political life and in a knowledge of tho science of governmont. The opposition have not held this as a sufficient excuse, inasmuch as he had it in his power to surround himself with praotioal statesmen, who would havo been oompeteut to guide his notions, and would havo prevented him from falling into many of the errors whioh he has committed. He chose to seleot, as mem? bers of his Cabinet, persons of little merit, and the whole nation is painfully aware of tho result. Bat the excuse of inexperience whioh has been so lavishly pat forward in the past will not avail the re-eleoted President in the future The people will hold him to a etriot account in the administration of the duties of his high office, and any faltering or falso stop will bring down upon his head a condemnation ten-fold more severe than I any that has yet been meted out to him, because it will be more deserved. On the morning of his re election, the Lon? don Times, in its Ieadiug article, road him a lecture, whioh is well worth his ! calm consideration. It said: "President Grant has not proved a perfect chief magistrate. He has been guilty of extremo oarelessncss, and it is to be hoped that he will take a lesson \ from the developments of the past six mouths. His errors were errors of ig? norance, but this defence will no longer hold good. Tho past mast be effaced. Beform of civil service urgently demands the appointment to office of persons qua? lified to administer their duties." It is useless now to contend that a Pre? sident who, as tho great Euglish journal that has most prominently favored his \ re-election admits, "bus been guilty of I extreme carelessness" and of "errors of ignorance," is not au eligible person to retain tho reins of power. Tho majority of the people havo decided that they shall continue in his hands for another term, and we must submit to the will of that majority. Bat we shall no lunger admit of any excuses of inexperience. The time for making them with any show of reason is now past, and any repetition will be viewed as puerile President Grant will enter upon his second term of office with a wider field of reform before him than it has been tho lot of auy Pre? sident to experience upcu entering on his official term. He has ar. Aegean stable to cleanso that will call from him tho exertions of a veritable Hercules, and the people will demand that this duty, ho wovor distasteful it may bo to him. shall be faithfully performed. Auy retention in office of the corrupt and in? capable relatives and retainers will not be permitted. All swindling rings must be broken np, and Gen. Grant must in? dividually exhibit a closer attention to the duties of his position, and demand a like observance from all iu authority ander him. Admitting that the Presi? dent has plied tho 'prentice hand during the first term of his tennre of office as Chief Magistrate of the nation, the country will now require from him the handiwork of a master workman. If he has gained by experience that wisdom whioh his friends assert that be possesses, he may, by its proper oxortion, effaco from tho recollection the remembrance of many of the errors of the past; but if ho fails to correct tho abuses that have been so flagrant during tho past year or two, he will find the outcry of complniut to which ho has been compelled to listen but a balmy zephyr compared to the whirlwind that will overtake him before the expiration of his second term of office. -?-??-> Coming Events.?Among the matters settled by tho elootion, we presume, is that of the future of Santo Domingo. Tho question of its annexation will, of course, be revived in the next Congress, and as thoro will be a large Administra? tion majority in both branches, u will go through with a rash. The island will do to carvo up into two States, with two Senators and four Representatives? all loyal aud black, of ooarso. Tho suc? cess of this job will enoourage tho job? bers to proceed to further acquisitions. Hayti will be absorbod, and St. Thomas will be purchased anew. Thus we will have introduced into oar Union the seeds of oar foreign complications and new domestio diffloaltiea. Somo other effects of the "tidal wave" will be appa? rent ere long. "As we make oar bed, so shall we lie " "Those who dance must pay the piper." We commend these aphorisms to citizens who did not vote. Ruffianism Utilized.?There appears to be nothing, however bad, among men that cannot be tamed to good aooonnt.. There has been a late exemplification of t his proposition in New Orleans. < There were two murders committed, either of which, separately, in the eyes of the law, was a capital crime, but the two taken together left the law nothing to say or do in the premises, and the whole affair oannot but bo viewed in the light of a publio benefit. John Henry and Perry Lyons were, years ago, friends and partners. They carried on the geno ral ruffian business on a large scale, and were a terror to all respectable, peace able citizens. They were ai ways armed to tbe teeth, and seldom got through the twenty four hours of day and night without a fight, and shootiug and cut? ting somebody. In the course of time they committed several manslaughters and murders, and wero always successful in making a safe retreat, or ge'tiag off on the plea of self-dofenoe. They wero unconquerable, und it seemed probable that they would be permitted to diu na? tural deaths. Having sabjagated Now Orleans, and thoro .ppeariug to bo no? thing left in their lino to do, they re? moved their base of operations to the plains, and finally to California. They ran the gauntlet of vigilance committees, and in timo returned to Now Or loans, apparently to enjoy tho memory of their conquest in peaoo. A few duys ago thoy sat down at a table in a beer saloou, to all appoaranoo good friends, talking ovor old and more prosperous times. It had been long since thoy hod bueu able to got up a cutting or shootiug match with auybody, and life was a burden. At length one of them handling a match? box pressed tho lid down. It suappud. Tho other said, "Don't suap your pistol at me." Tho noise soemed to lire them both with an eager desiro to be at work, and at it thoy went. They sprang to thoir feet simultaneously, nud one ope? rated with a pistol, while the other plied a loug Bowie knife. It was their most .successful job. Thoy very handsomely luid eaoh other out, to the great joy of all their acquaintances and the whole community. By their deaths these thiugs showed what they were made for, and demonstrated that they wero of some uso in the world. There are a few left who might make like amends for many past misdeeds. f Misso uri Rep ublio i n. A "Confederate" Statce inTrouule. Nearly two years ago, an association composed of ladies of this city, known as "Tho Confederate Memorial Associa? tion," began the work of improviug und beautifying that portion of London Purk Cemetery in which n:o interred the remuius of Coufoderute soldiers. They determined to ereot a statue of a soldier of the .South as a monument, and n com? mission for tho statue, in unrble, was given Mr. Frederick Volk, tho well known artist of this city, thou in Eu? rope. Tho statuo was finished, and 81,U00 paid the artist, leaving about 81,500 unpaid. Iu the meautime, Bovau & Co., marble-cutters, of Baltimore, erectod iu the cemetery a baso for tho statue, at a cost of 8700. Tho statue, after lyiug iu the bonded warehouse for so mo mouths, to uwait tho payment of the duties on it, was about to be sold at unction for non-payment of dues?the society having failed to take it out of bond?when J. Hambioton, Jr., paid the charges, amounting to 810-1, and took possession of tho statue, agreeing to en? deavor to arrange for tho payment of tho balance due the artist, and the 8700 Htill duo Messrs. Bevan As Co. for tho hftso. A. number of plans to liquidate these claims is snggested. Ono is to plaoe the statue on exhibition, another to give amateur concerts. Tho society by whom tho statue was ordered seems to have gone out of existence, and it would be probably well for the President of the Mary laud Association of Confede? rates to call that body together, for the purpose of adopting some means to carry out the project, and to plaoe tho statue where it was first designed to place it. It is said to be a most beautiful work of art.?Baltimore Gazelle, 6th. Death of a Democratic "Organ."? Tho Washington Patriot has been addod to the list of "organs" porishing for want of patronage. It was established two years ago, in tho hopo of beiug sus? tained by Government advertising in case of a chnngo of administration in 1873. It thus announces its demise: "After two years of earnest effort to establish a Democratic journal upon a solid basis at tho capital, aud to render it at least partially worthy of tho high mission in which it onguged, wo are pained to confess that tho experiment has failed to realize our hopes, and to announce that tho Patriot will bo sus? pended after to-day. In undertaking Jbis responsible task, tho original found? ers, and the friends who generously con? tributed of thoir means to aid the enter? prise, were aware of tho serious difficul? ties which beset their path, and that permanent success depended mainly upon a change in tho National Adminis? tration. To that great object, then, our labors wero chiefly directed. Wo are defeated, and political disaster brings in its train matorial disappointment." Tho Chicago Tribune prints tho fol? lowing epizootio note: "Oxen aro now being imported at a rapid rate. Tho de? mand is not yet supplied, and good ani? mals meet with ready sale. A country? man stood five yoke by tho Chamber of Commerce yesterday, and in one hour walked away with $1,250 in his pocket, leaving the oxen to tho moroics and abnses of their new owners. Thoro wero ox-markets all through tho business por? tion of the oity, and about them ga? thered merchants, ox-drivers and curi? osity-seekers. Tbe average prioes were from 8150 to 8250. Merchants are gene? rally buying their oxen, but somo are hiring at 810 a day, with driver." ? A 8&TDKOBOOK CoimiTS SUIOTDE ON His Wedding: Day.?A Dublin telegram to the London Daily Telegraph, dated Ootober 25, "says: A shocking etent took place yesterday morning. A mar? riage was to take place between Hubert I de Burgh, a young barrister, and son of a major in tho army, and Miss Margsret j Bogers, a daughter of a magistrate. Both parties belonged to the best Dub? lin Booiety. The marriugo was to take plaoe at St. Peter's Church, and at tho hour fixed for its celebration the bridal party entered the church. The bride? groom did not make his nppcarauce, and, after some delay, a messenger was despatched to Mr. de Burgh's house. On reaohiog the house he fouud that the bridegroom had, after carefully dressing [ himself for the bridal, returned to his bed-room and out his throat with a razor. Oo learning what had taken place, the bridal party broke op amid a very dis? tressing scene, the bride being conveyed home in an insensible state. It appears that, after having dressed, de Burgh in? flicted five gashes with a razor on bis throat, aud was found on the floor bleed? ing by a servant. Thero are various re? ports as to the cause?oue being that somo of bis family disapproved of the match, uud refused to be present at the weddiug. This, however, is denied by bis falber, Major de Burgh, who ran assign uo cause for the melancholy nut, which was the lust thing to be expected from Mr. de Burgh'.-* disposition aud character. A Washington telegram, of October 3d, says: A case of barbarous treatment of4a soldier belonging to the sigual corps, and stationed at Fort Whipple, just ?cross tho river, is reported to-day. A private attached to tho corps left camp, at the suggestion of hii comrades, and went to Alexandria for the purpose of purchasing vinegar. When he returned he passed the quarters of his lieutenant, with tho bottle containing his purchase | in his baud. The officer, without any question as to it.s couteuts, seized the bottle aud dashed it to the ground . The soldier's remoustruueo at this conduct was met by an order fur his being imme? diately put to hard labor. Auother re? monstrance followed at this order, the soldier stating that he was jast out of the hospital, und was really unable to work. The order was repeated, when the soldier refused compliance; where? upon, by order of the lieutenant, ho was lashed to a cart wheel, a dreuching rain prevailing at tho time, aud there kept for four hour9. Wheu the soldier was untied he was found speechless. He has since been in the hospital, sod it is stated that he has entirely lost bis mind. OUTUAOE.?At the election precinct at Townesville, iu (Jranvillo County, N. O, ou the 5th iustant, a colored man by the name of John D.ivis voted for the Gree loy electors. Soon after voting, he (Davis?) was taken by a uogroaud carried about 200 yards from tbo house where the polls wero kept, and was stripped, tied to a tree, und most cruelly whipped for voting against tho Radical purty. At the time the whipping was going on, ' a circle of uegroes, about fifty iu num? ber, were around the poor creature, and I appeared us if they were encouraging I the wicked wretch who was then apply? ing the lash to Davis with a heavy hand. And strange to say, thero wero two magistrates aud two constnblos at the place who refused to bring the offenders to justice, and one of tho justices was heard to say that ho did not care if they killed Davis, and in that caso he would uot interfere in the matter. They had a fog eu dense in London, ou the 22.1 ultimo, ns to be made tbo subject of comment in the newspapers. So many casualties occurred, that the Pall Mall Gazelle gives advice to way? farers how to conduct themselves so as to j guard against "fog accidents." Deaf, infirm, very old aud very young people are advised to stay at home; and those who get caught in the fog should walk carefully and slowly. Under no circum? stances should dangerous crossings bo dashed at. Cabmen should halloo be? fore they drive round corners, and it is I suggested that bells should be attached to the harnoss. If yon feel dull, drowsy, debilitated, have frequent headache, mouth tastes bad, poor appetite, aud tongue coated, you are suffering from Torpid Liver or 'Biliousness," uud nothing will cure you so speedily and permanently as Dr. Pioroe's Golden Medical Discovery.

A Deliohtfcii Scnrnisu.?Ladies whoso 'sues aro clouded by superficial discoloratious, and who have resolved to try Hagan's Magnolia Balm ns a re? medy, havo no idea of the welcome sur? prise they will recoivo from their mirrors aftor a few applications of that healthful purifier of the complexion. If at all ex? citable, thoy will, scream with raptnre on beholding tho change; whether tho blemish it is desired to remove be sal lownoss, blotches, pimples, freckles, roughness, or an unnatural pallor, it is bound to disappear under the tooio ope? ration of this wonderfnl agent. To say that the blemish disappears, does not, howover, convey any idea of tho effect produced by this celebrated beaatitior. I Tho unsightly tinge, whether diffused over tho wholo conntennnco or iu spots, or patches, is roplaced by a uniform, pearly bloom, to which no description oan do justice. N14*3 ? ? - A negro man, named Edward Sam moll, somo fifty years old, retired to bed in usual health, Sunday night, after de? spatching a hearty supper, and by dawn he was dead, lying on their couch beside his wife, in their house on tho corner of Bryan and Fahrn streots, Sa? vannah, Ga.

We take pleasure in noting tbe fact that preparations are being made to im? prove Uu. water conveyance below tbe State House, as also an extension of tbe conveuieuco. Larger pipes are to bo suuk, thus removing the apprehensions which ha'vo heretofore existed iu case of u conflagration in that section of tbe 'city. The branch pipe, as also the rue I ning pipe, is the manufacture of John Alexander, Esq. Suggestious as to the proper oourse to I pursue in treating the epizootic, or horse malady, are plentiful; but Mr. McKen? zie, of confectionery fame, practices what he preaches. He takes his horse up into another current of air, (the se? cond Btory of bis establishment.) and keeps him in the open air both day and night, allowing him to remain perfectly quiet. Ho can be seen by any one pass? ing down Main street; and by stepping iu the store you can pqrohaso the match to him.

"True ease in writing comes by art, uot chance; as those move easiest who have learn'd to dance." So said Pope. Auothe* version of true ease in writing is the use of good writing materials. A soft or a hard pencil, of any color, draw? ing pencils, Sur pcus, no excellent arti? cle of writing paper; in fact, anything in the stationery line, of superior quali? ty, can bo obtained from the popular es? tablishment of Mr. E.

The horao malady that prevails iu this city in of a mild type, and with good at? tention, there need bo no apprehension of any great inconvenience. We have hoard of no fatal result in any case as yet. Tho number of horses, both pleasure and hiro animals, that usually appear on our streets, do not seem to have diminished. City water was scarce yesterday, and occupants of upper stories weredepiived of their supply. In cuso of a fire, we might have another Boston disaster. Col. Penrco has been prepared for seve? ral months to supply tbe city, and would have done so, without expense, had ho been so requested, although his coutract, as ho claims, doos not commence until the 21st.

Talk about a woman without a baby, a man without u wife, a ship without a rudder. What is the lack of each of these individuals or things to that of a man without an advertisement? Ho is a hopeless onss?a "goner in the com? munity." Talk of boing successful in business. You might as well talk of se? conding to tho moon on a greased moon? beam. People point at him in the street and say: "Poor Causias has a lean and hungry look." It may, however, be consoling to him to reflect that when be dies, ho will bo advertised at last, and gratuitously at that. Found Dead.?About noou, yester? day, two boys jumped tho enclosure of what is known as Taylor's burying ground, to give chase to a rabbit, when they stumbled ovor a crocus bag, which they opened and found to contain tho partially decomposed remains of o malo child?tho offspring of colored parents. Tho child had ovidently boon placed in this unfrequented spot a few hours after its birth. When found, tho infant's mouth was stopped with a piece of raw meat, which horriblo plan had ovidontly been adoptod with the double intention of causing its death and hushing its ories while in its death throes. The fiends who could perpetrate an outrage of this kind are fit only for an abode in tormont and anguish. They may con? ceal their crime for a few days, but their guilty consciences will inflict a punish? ment npon thorn which will only be ex? ceeded by that of an outraged law, when they are arrostod, tried and convicted, Tho propor authorities wore notified of the discovery of tho dead body; where? upon tho Coroner summoned a jury of inquest, who returned tl\e following verdict: After hearing the opinion of ?Dr. Goiger, tho jury conoludod that said in? fant enmo to its death on the-day of November, instant, by being smothered by some person or persons to the jurors unknown. Dhatn op an Old Bailroad Mas. We are called upon, '*bis moming, to record tbo death of au old Sonth Caro Una Railroad official?Mr, John E.

Mr. Marley was, we believe, a native of Charleston; bis age was about fifty-six; he had been in the employ of the South Carolina Railroad Company for more than twen? ty-five years. He was polite and affable in his manners, and leaves a wife, chil? dren and many friends to lament his death. f . -; i ' Inquest.?Coroner Cole man, yester? day, concluded the inquest upon the body of the colored girl, named Amy Daniels, who was killed, several days since, by jumping off the Greenville and Columbia Railroad train while in mo? tion. The jury rendered the following verdict: Deceased came to her death by being run over by the passenger train on the Greenville and Columbia Railroad, on the morning of the 4th of November in? stant, after being warned by the express messenger not to jump from the oar.
