4 i a I Jt Lfl I /?] 3 i. Frfday notning^Kovember 15,^1872, We indulged in some remarks, yester? day, touching tbe iuherent difflanlties of reform. It was shown that in the na t^e<rf things, they are hard to over? come, and as regards oar own State, ?thfcy were seen to be next t? insuperable on tho part of thoeo who are identified with the abases which require reform, And whose public oonduot gives little encouragement to hope that they mean any genuine amendment. It is jest possible: that they may find some oheck in the impoverished condition'of the State. It is a mine now nearly ex? hausted. The newly-found plaeers of phosphate ores, from* whioli much was oxpoetcd, yield but insignificant returns to the public treasury. The process of depletion has been rapid, as the demands opon it have been in inverse proportion Co the revenues whioh have gone into it. The former have inoreased, as the latter Ixavo diminished. Our resources are rapidly drying up. We are folly sensi cms of whatever merit; there may be in the, Sangrado practice of blood-letting ? and drinking oold water. - Extravagance, swindling, bribery, corruption and Iraqd.hl^ve (drained ins pretty effectually. There'will soon be little left to lay taxes upon. So our reformers may play at *SCranaai)on?i for the lack of. something bettor t# do, just as Jonathan Wild fflomotlmen ceased operating on the high? way, to play gentleman in the drawing room. Beal reformation prooeeds from men yAm feel tho abuses under whioh the oommntrity suffers to be intolerable. Wiokliffe snd Luther were earnest and ?onaoientiouB ia the stand whioh they xaado against the friars and the Pope. The former toiled steadily by his writ istjg% land Luther was ready to face a legten of devils, for the oaase whioh Vhey espoused. Sir Samuel Bomilly was folly sensible of the oruelty of the cri? minal laws of England. Originating in ?arlier and ruder times, he know them to be out of place on the statute book at the beginning of the nineteenth cen? tury. He exerted himself with perse weranoe and effect against their longer oontinunnoe upon it. To him his coun? try owes the) repeal of nearly 300 enact? ments inflicting the death penalty for alight and trifling crimes. He lived not to ise his noble work fully accomplished, hart he knew that he had laid sure founda? tions, and substantial improvement iu the penal laws went forward from that date. His perseverance, his zoal and his sin ?arity admirably seconded big ability, and his fame is assured in the great work he accomplished. A more modern in? stance of a genuine reformer may be mentioned in the person of Biobard Oobden. He united with Mr. Bright, Mr. Vi liiere and others m a league to re? peal the oppressive com Jaws. They took, a saite of rooms in the Strand for one ? hundred ? years?an evidence, at least, as Mr. Gobdeu said io a friend of ours, of their earnest pnrpoao and perse voranoe. But it required only a few an? nual motions for the repeal of the laws, aad vigorous debate on them, before Sir Bobert Peel gave up his opposition to the measure, and participated in the Anal action by whioh it was passed. It is a monument to the fame of Biohard Oobden. We oan look only to good and bold men with any oonfidenoe for the redress of grievances. Men must be really and fully sensible of evil before they strive zealously for its overthrow. In this State hopo points only in one direction (or reform of existing abases. We turn ?our eyes to the minority in the General Assembly, Upon them devolves, in thin emergency, a grave responsibility. &y i # steady, united, eystematio and persever? ing action, they may be of some service, if not in directly passing good laws, at least io aiding to prevent the passage of bad ones. Informing tbomselvos tho toogbly of tho requirements of tho hour, and of tho possibilities of good -which, in their peculiar position, they may be ablo to effect, strengthening themselves in their opposition to wrong, by candor and by roadinesa to comply with whatever is right, thoy may take a masterly position. Their ?courage, discretion, Bpirit of honor, intelligence, patriotio oliaraotcr and so oial standing may all bo made elements ?of strength to secure thorn in it. Let them work for the restoration of good government, for the displacement of bad men, for equal laws, and just and mode? rate taxation. Lot them seek t" restore to life amongst us tho lost sense of re? sponsibility, the vanished fear of nc oountability. The independent press atanda by, ready to aid them with its .suggestions. Let the watch-word of ull who would be true reformers in this crisis, be the restoration o! our country to honor and prosperity. JUIXJK MATJDSr lY^JHS T?kc Ba*. ?

It is well known that no horse has died here from such disease, nor likely to do so.

Doas, Young Brown and Grant Deas were standing upou tbe un? finished third span of tho new bridge on Watsree River, and 'endeavoring to take means to prevent the washing away of tho supports which uphold that part of the structure, Mr. LasSalle heard an ominous oraok, whereupon be told the others to look out, that the spau was goiug, and attempted to jump back to tbe completed Bpan. The plnnk upou which they were standing tilted, the weight of the throo being greater than his, and with a tremendous crush, the entire structure, over sixty feet long and woighing mauy tons, was precipitated into tho river, carrying tho unfortunate men with it. Sam. Deas was instantly killed, while the other two men, having received only slight bruises, swam out. Cupt. LasSalle was thrown about ten feet by the sudden uplifting of the plank, and alit safely upon the complete portion of the bridge. The work will, of course, be delayed, but Mr, LasSalle sayB he is determined to push it through. Coroner DoPuss hold the inquest on Tuesday, and the jury rendered a verdict of accidental death.?Camden Journal. Judge Hopkins, last week, iu Fulton Supcior Court, sentenced Henry James, a manumitted soffrage slingor, to one year's imprisonment in tho penitentiary, for illegal voting. Tho judge remarked, by way of parenthesis, that bo let him oil time lightly in consideration of his ignorance, and rogretted that ho did not have the white men who made him their dupo standing in his shoes. Detroit has two oitizensdown with the horse disease, whioh is pioduciug no little oxuitoment in that city. An attempt was made to fire the pro? mises of Mr. Winstook, in Greenville, on the 10th inst. I Tra PosraoH or m Sorar^Tittfr is one thing that never faiui, B*id J3al*Ac, and that is ingratitude. To an absenoe Of this elemeujjn the oharaotsr of tho Southern beople may be Attributed, per? haps, the ten* lity with which they clung \ to the poTitid I fortuues of ?reefey and Brown to thu aat. Mora | honorable io defeat thau in any viotory won at the sacrifice of conscience or principle, they oooupy in the nation to-day-the exalted position of men who, in .the face of an almost inevitable overthrow, and in de? fiance of the centralizing policy of a powerful ?ml revengeful, party,' stood by ' those who bad, Yor tho sake of reform and good government; cornnalttecT their* political fortunes.to tuo uneerUiu-tidn of the Liberal tbovemOnt. As far as they were^nprmjttod tq dp so.uuintimidated by Feperal soldiery, and uuamaacnl?ted by tho pruscrjiptiou and disfranchise ment of Radical registration, th>- South? ern people never looked back after their bands had been once laid upou the plow. For the Bourbon movement, they bad only mockery and contempt. For O'Oonor and Adams, only the pity the unshorn Sampson has for the timid eunuch. Grant was great aud powerful and full of promises, but because other men had broken with the dominant organization for their mikes, tbey fought tho issue oct, standing or fulling. Perhaps tbey have fallen a little ways further; but only a little, for God known they have but a scant few inches more to go before they are in the bottomless pit altogether. How utrunge the bed-fellows politics iutrodnces the ouo to the other. How uulooked for that alliance which mude Horace Greeley the champiou of the Confederates, and .itandaid-beurcr of the Democratic party. But bad only those who sat at his feet in the ancient days, listening tu bis voice as to the voice of a prophet, remained as true to him us those fur whose overthrow he had spent all the vigorous years of his vigorous manhood, the sorrowful spectucle of a nation prostrate at the feet of a despo? tism might have been spared to the pa? triotic vision of tho country. Liberalism had no more perfect illustration than that furnished by au almost united South, .standing up in the midst of her desolation und holding out her hands iu friendship to those who, great in all tho elements of merciless warfare, yet baited wben the battle was done, plundering no beaten aud fratricidul hold. True, al? ways, whether iu prosperity or adversi? ty, whether in victory or in defeat, the honor of the South remains uuturoisbed amidst tho furious storm of so many po? litical wrecks, disgraces aud desertions. No matter what the future may bring forth. At its very worst it can scarcely be darker. No matter how much further aud finer the machinery of the Adminis? tration may find itagrecablo to grind the lately reconstructed States, the South stands acquitted before the country of every sentiment of treachery or ingrati? tude. Governments are not for a day, nor are governments such as ours the patri? mony or the possession of any man, oli? garchy or association. Beneath the tre? mendous exhibitions of strength upon occasion, it is acousolation to know that, however high the edifice may bo built, it is worthless and valueless, unless wrought upou the solid foundations of truth und justice. And sooner or later, the crisis will come again iu the life of this very nation, now so noisy with cheers for Grant, aud uow bo jubilaut with victo? rious rejoicings, when tho unconquerable manhood of tho Southern people will be worth a premium in tho political mar? ket, and when to have been steadfast und true to the great principles of Liberal? ism will bring with them the honors nnd the recognition of the republic. Let those other Democrats who surrendered without tiring a gun receive sucb a re? ward as Austria gave to Gorgey, aud as England gave to Benedict Arnold. The time has not yet come for honesty and reform, and hence the disgraceful rout and panic whioh has extended from Maine to Minnesota. It pays to desert, aud in tho scramblo the Democratic party has sold itself. [Kansas City (Mo ) Times. Tho cackle of a goose saved Rome, and the tinklo of a cow bell saved the resi? dence of Mrs. Luther MoBee, at Green? ville, on the 7tb inst. Just before day? light, Mrs. McBeo heard some cows in her front yard, aud sent a boy to drive tbom out; while doing which, he dis? covered the iucondiiry's torch beneath tho house ond gave tho alarm.

Wobn to a Shadow.?Flesh, muscle and mind alike deterioate when the stomi ch falters iu its duty and the bowels do not perform their part as scavengers of the syatem regularly and naturally. In ohronio dyspepsia, the body is usually emaciated, the muscular fibre loose and flabby, and tbe brain in? capable of prolonged or vigorous exer? tion. Every organ, every member, even tho immortal mind itself, is, to a certain extent, dependent upon the sto? mach for support. Strengthen and re? gulate this feeder of tho system with Hostottcr's Stomach Bitters, when it fails to perform its functions properly. A good appetite, an increased flow of the gastric juice, and perfect digestion aud assimilation, will assuredly be tbe result. The manner in whioh the great touio and alterative effects a oure of dyspepsia is direct and simple. It stim Mes tbo digestive organs, cleanses with? out convulsing the bowels, regulates the flow of bile and determines it into tbe right channels, and exOroiBos a tran quilizicg influence over the nerves.
