COLUMBIA, S C. Friday Morning, May 16. 1873. Science and "Radicalism.?It seems that Boioutiata who expect favor or pre? ferment from the Radically moat mould their "Boientiao theories in aooordance with the opinions and the creed of the dominant party.' The eminent natural ist, Agassiz, desiring an appropriation of 950,000 from the'Legislature of Massa? chusetts to aid in the establishment of an expensive museum of comparative zoolo? gy, has had the measure bitterly opposed by the Republicans, beoause the profes? sor was charged with having .stated that "the blood of the negro is, chemically, e different fluid from that which flows in the veina of white men." He was charged with maintaining another heresy in asserting that the whites and negroes were not descended from a common StOck. The nro?aaaor has nromptlv abjured the blood theory, and says there is no difference between the "fluid" whioh flows in the veina of Hon. Pinoh baok and that whioh courses through the system of our Smoky Cmiar. But he is not' disposed to surrender his opi? nion relative to a common desoent. He still insists that anatomy proclaims, and in no uuoertain language, that the two raoes sprang from different sources, and that the dusky skin and marked features of the African iB not the result of climate or accidental conditions of life. Unless ?"the learned, professor retracts, or the I -Republicans become less exacting, the ehanoe for obtaining the .appropriation is slim, and soiehoe will languish in . 'Massachusetts fpr some time to come. Rumor hath it that Amadeas is en? gaged in writing a history ol his reign in : Spain. The world, that never suepeoted any literary ability in the soion of Victor Emmanuel's family, will?without being ? over zealous?-be apt to imagine in the V. lazy manner whioh conviction,brings, as *<t9 who will be the author of his. ex Majesty's coming work. If Amadeas wishes to raise his reputation for com? mon sense, he will pay special attention? or direct his author-to do so, whioh will amount to the same thing?to drawing a contrast between his wisdom in resigning the Spanish throne when he first soented danger in the air, and the fool-hardy reoklessness of the. late Maximilian, when he laughed at popular clamor, and died like a hero and a king in defence of his throne at Queretaro. The contrast is as Strongly marked as anything in Plutarch; and people and the papers have beep talking about it since Febru? ary last. Chief Justice Chasb on xhu Confe? derate Dead.?Chief Justioe Chase, while holding court in Raleigh, North Carolina, in 1869, was invited to partici? pate in the ceremonies of decorating the graves of the Union dead at Magnolia Cemetery. He wrote in answer a letter embodying sentinents of fergiveness and fraternity with the Confederates, and was taken to task for it by Mr. J. E. Williama, preeidont of a national bank ia New York, to which ho roplied, re? iterating the sentiments expressed in the original letter: Ho said: ''It is that true patriotism requires that the closo of a great civil war sbould be marked not by proscription or dis franohisement, but by manifestations of sinoero good-will, especially from the successful to the unsuccessful, and by ?generous reooguitioa o! whatever waa really brave and earnest and noble in those who fought on the failing side. I have no sympathy with the spirit which refuses to strew flowers upon the graves' of tha dead soldiers who fought against the side I took; and I am glad to know1 there was no such spirit among tljose I -who joined in decorating the graves of! the soldiers of the Union who lie buried at Magnolia Cemetery. Tho Magnolia lavishes its perfumes frooly, the pleasant air breathes as softly, and the warm son shines as brightly over Confederate as over Uaioa graves. Iu the lottcr which has incurred your oonlnire, I sought to put into the hearts of my countrymen something of tho divine charity taught by the troo, the air and the snn, as woll as by the preoepts of our Saviour. I be? lieve it has done some good, und I be? lieve it will do more." We were aware that our flour, ten und coffee were adaltoruted, but had fondly hoped that oar doses of medicino wore sacred. And now in what shall we have faith? It has been discovered in New York that a man who takes his jorum of oastor oil, of a morning, is mado to swal? low a largo proportion of lard therewith, and as the patient is rather apt to gulp his modicino without puosing to taste it, he is victimized with the moro facility. As Sir Peter Teazle mildly remarkod, "This is a-wioked world." There is nothing like plain English for Slain speaking.

United States District Couivt.?In the United- States District Court, in Charleston, ion the 11th, the case of Fraafc -Hoyward, charged with being a retail liquor dealer without paying the speoial tax, was tried and given to Jury No. 2, of which Mr. Frederick Biobards was foreman. The jury returned a ver? dict of not guilty, and Mr. Richards stated that they did not conceive that the case proved was one contemplated by the legislative power, and tbey could not, in contoienoe and in view of the se? vere penalties provided by law, bring iu Earties guilty of that which they did not elieve to be a criminal offence against the law. The nature of the cases laid before them and all tho concurring oir onmstanoes irresistibly led him to be? lieve that iodiotmenta had been unneces? sarily multiplied, and thoyjelt it their duty to proceed with extreme caution. They did not believe that the Acts of Congress were intended to include such oases, and in consistency with their sense of right and duty, tbey could not con? sent to be Instrumental in executing so forced a oonstruotion. Judge Bryan instructed the jury, that a single act of Belling liquor without a licenso was sufficient to establish the offence. Assistant District Attorney Stone moved to discharge the jury. Judge Bryan believod-lhat no necessity existed to accede to the motion to dis? charge the jury. Mr. Stone moved to set abide the vcr diot of the jury. Mr. Richards, the foreman, said th>it he must ask to be excused from further service on tho jury. If tbo unanimous and deliberate verdict of a jury, that n prisoner was not guilty, wero to ba thus summarily sot aside, he could not, con? scientiously, remain a member' of tho jary. Judgo Bryan desired that the fore? man would retain his seat, but ordered the case to be referred for a new trial.

Those mem? bers of the erow of the Polaris who wero brought back by tbo Tigress are the sole repositories of the facts, and tbey say he died of apoplexy, but those who knew the dauntless navigator say that ho was very unlikely to. be a victim to such an attack, and an eminent sur? geon says that any one liable to it would not have it in that region.

' -w: - The World at tha Death-bed of Pope Pius IX,?In ?iew of tho serious illness of Pope Piub, the following article from the New Yorks Herald will bo read with great interest: Is Pias IX the last of the Roman Fon tiffu? The ourioua prophecy attributed to St. Malnoby, Archbishop of Armagh, in Ireland, and who died in the arms of the "last of the fathers of the church," as the Frenoh proudly call Bernard of Clairvaux, distinctly asserts?as will be seen from tho extraordinary document itself reproduced in the Herald to-doy* that ho is. In that alleged inspired dream, the Irish pat'riaroh gave the num? ber of Popes that, remained yet to come, giving to eaoh one of them an epigram? matic mark by which be could be con? cisely distinguished, and the sign he at? tached to tho Pontiff who oloses bis hazardous enumeration corresponds, in a remarkable degree, with the venerable Holy Father who, perhaps, at this in? stant, has the death-rattle at the door of his obamtnr. TLat tign is the three Latin words, "Crux de Cruoe," whioh is interpreted by some Oatholio authorities to oiyuify the p?fne??ii?u O* tu? ?iO?? from a cross?that i?, that the Pope Buffeia craoial afflictions from a royal power, which has the oross for the ohiuf emblem on its escutcheon of authority. And this, as has been said, points the finger at Yiotor Emmanuel. In his kingly emblems, the oross sarmounts everything. If wo mistake not, Father Garesche, a Ioarned Jesuit priest, in a lectaro whioh he lately delivered not far from New York, gave this interpretation as explicitly as the fine language conld make it to tho "Crux de Cruce of the ancient metropolitan of Armagh. The Herald does not pretend to settle the au? thority of St. Malachy's prophecies. But it is as clear as the suu in the meridian that the words "Crux de Cruce" are in singular agreement between Pius IX and the firtt monarch of United Italy. And that being the oase, it is an interesting and aerions question, is Pim IX tho last of the Roman Pontiffs? It is a startling question. Its proper form is, is tho great Roman Catholic Church sentenced to death? For, no Pope, no Catholio Church. Catholicity cannot survive the Papacy for one se oond. And Catholioity is a thing of no small radius, diameter und circumfer? ence. ; St. Malachy, therefore, or who? ever wroto in his name, gave ground for putting a question of tremendous mag? nitude. A short timo, however, will quite Bolve the curious interrogation; for it cannot be long before the Holy Sue will have a new occupaut, or cease to bo tho great oontral religious altar of more than three-fourths of the vust population of Christondom. In the meuutime, Pius IX is, in all human probability, on his death-bed; and tbe noble old man?with face ono of the finest Romohas witnessed for many a day?has the world watchiug at his couch. Let as see who those watchers arc. Tho King of Italy has his mind on Lhe spot with particular anxioty of manner. Prince Bismarok, who, by reoent sta? tutes, has made tho Emperor the High Priest of the German people, and who ardently wishes that there may never bo another supreme head of the Catholics, is attending to the Roman telegrams, to the exclusion of every other duty. M. Thiers, President of the Frenoh republic, and, though a Protestant, a firm upholder of the Papacy, is on the qui vice with all the Aotivity of an aged statesman of genius, for the first intelli? gence of an event whioh be knows will movo Catholio France to floods of tears and sighs of true devotion. Francis Joseph, of Austria, in in con? stant communication with his Embassa-. dor at the Vatican on the fluctuations in tho health of the illustrious patient. The Count de Gbambord, who once had impassioned hopes that Pins IX would place ?the crown of St. Louis on his temples and the sword of Henry the Great in his hand, is in unfeigned grief over tho apprehended dissolution of one for whoso rights the royal bloud in his veins wuu always ready to flow. Tho Turk at Constantinople?tho Prince of tho Crcsont, tho successor of Muhommed?esteemed his octogenarian Primate of tho CrosH, as if Rome had never inspired crusades to light Hguiu: t Saludin for tho reoovery of Jerusalem; as if there nuver had been a battlo nt Jjopanto; as if there novcr had been a Charles Martcl and plains of Poicticrs; aud ho is listening for tbe first intima? tion of his death, that he may honor his memory by putting crape on tho stand? ards of -the Ottoman Empire. The Czar of Rujsia, it is said, hated Pius IX with a bitter hatreefc und he is impatient to bo informed thut thePontill' has breathed his last. Victoria, Protestant Queen of a great Protestant nation, whoso first kings arc saint-, ia tho Roman calendar, has her tender eurs open for tho sad ntjwa that the Holy Futhor is dead. Sho congratu? lated him on tho day ho was iifty years a priest; ehe congratulated him ou tho day ho wus Lwonty-Uve years a Pope; when sho Icarus ho has expired, she will give to his uamo und to his virtues, and to tho great office ho has long filled, the good, private homage of hor heart. Finally, all the churches feel tho most intense interest in this death-bed, Around it, it is easy and just for the im? agination to oonoeivo clustered all 'ho groat leaders of the Protestant forms of faith, anxious with the conjeotaro and ready to eeizo the hope, that with Pio Nouo the "scarlet woman of the Apooa lypso" may die and give up her soul for? ever. But in a particular position, and with pro-ominent right, and thongh last in the enumeration, yet the most natural in it, around this memorable death-bed, stauds tho whole Roman fold, 300,000, 000 in number. Never was sovereign Pontiff so lovod by Catholics as Pius IX. He was and ho is to them no self-made cleric, but the very vicar of God; grand to look at; most noble in his disposition; an angel in every virtue; asecoud prince of the apootlee in all respects; tho most outraged of all holy men, and tbo very Idol of their hearts and understandings. Whether the Catholic faith is true oxiuot true, this is the ifay the Catholic pdoplo of all the earth Have centred their fond Bees on Pius IX; and sore aro they within et learning tbat bis long reign over them is at last at its end; aad when they shall read that he is no more, copious will bo the tears tbat will flow from their eyes, broken will bo the sobs with which tbey will pronounce his name, and ardent wilj be the prayers that will penetrate the clouds for ihe Beatification of his spirit. It is a splendid mark of religious faith and a splendid tribute to illustrious worth. Far bo it from all to give it a wanton insult. Those facts give an idea of the interest that is concentrated on the sick couch or the death-bed of Pius IX. But there is one watcher of this death? bed who is entitled to special considera? tion. It is the King of Italy. He has long wished for the death of the Pope; for tho Pope kept him long out of Rome, on which he set bis heart, aad now that he has Borne he is filled with uceasiuess while the Pope lives. Well may he wish that the mediieva! prophet- of Arc??0 h - or whoever wrote in that asoitio Metro? politan's name, issued a true prophecy whon he mode the Pope of tho "Crn.c de Cruce" designation the last of the (So? vereign Poutifla. Confederate Whites on Republican Blacks. ?The Philadelphia North Ame? rican, a leading Administration paper, says: "The Presideut was discouraged from making a tour through the South this season by a variety of circnmstancoR. There cannot be a doubt that such a visit might have been productive of much good; and the more sensible people of tho South, both Union men and Confed? erates, had begun to look forward to it with interests. But as it became evident that his visit could only be successful under (he patronage of conspicuous Con federates, it was considered not advisa? ble. We cannot doubt that the mass of the Southern people would have re? ceived the President with sincere re? spect, bat the conflict and prejudices of races would have either left him entirely surrounded by Confederate whites, or wholly in the company of Republican blacks, and in either case tho effect would have been unfortunate." TbrribiiII Accident in Macon, Ga.? An awful accident occurred at the main building of Mercer University, Tuesday afternoon. Fivo workmen were stand? ing upon a scaffold, engaged in erecting a coruico ou the fourth story. Snddouly, aud without a moment's warniug, the scpffold gave way, precipitating three white men nod two negroes to the ground, a distance of sixty feet beneath. Three of tho men?all tho whites?were instantly killed, and ono of the negroes mortally wounded. The remaining negro is badly injured, but may reoover. The bones of the leg of one man were broken and forced through his shoes. The spectacle presented by the bodies was siokening aud horrible. The nainea of the three white men aro James S. Glov3r, of Chicago; John Rico, of Philadelphia, and Wm. Proctor, of Macon. They were, as stated before, iuatantly killed. The entire city is ap? palled. The city of Wilmington, N. C , is without a Mayor. The law provides tbat the Aldermen shall be eleoted by the people and the Mayor by tho Aldermen. A new Board of Aldermen has been elected, and they took their seats last Monday and commenced balloting for a Mayor. The meeting was prolonged, with occasional intermissions of a few minutes, from noon on Monday to half past 5 o'clock on Tuesday morning, and seventeen ballots were taken, bat with? out an election. Tbey met again at 10 o'clock, Tuesday morning, and romained in session until G o'clock that evening, and took ton more ballots, bat still with? out succeeding in an election. In the meantime there is no ono to proside at the May -'s Court, nud the city adminis? tration ia in u demoralized condition generally. On Tuesday moruiug a notice was posted in a prominent placo iu town re? flecting ou tho honesty of policeman Mooro. This extremely enraged tho ac? cused individual, who charged tho post? ing of the notice upon policeman Green, and at once challenged him to a fisticuff Pistols aud baton.1, were laid aside and coats wore stripped.when a regular melon took placo. They l ?alt each other hard blows for awhile, when the pugilistic encounter was decided iu favor of Green. Mooro has taken hiu defeat so much to heart that he has retired from his posi? tion, chief of police, and proposes at once retiring to his home in Yorkville. [ Chester Reporter. The grand jury iu tho United States Court, Charleston, made a long present? ment. Tho presiding judgo refused to receive tho same after it had been read in open court by tho foreman, ou the ground that it was irrelevant and beyond the scope- of the duties of tho grand jury; they then retired again to their room, bat after a further consultation, lasting about a half an hour, they came back into court and asked to bo excused from making any presentment, which request was granted by Judgo Bryan. Tho jury prosented nearly everything, including the court officials. A Massachusetts woman appeared at the shop where her husband was em? ployed, a short timo ago, aud apologeti? cally said: "Jim is not well. You must excuse him from work to dayT He and I had a little difficulty at the breakfast table this morning, and ho won't bo able to work this weok."

Tho Mayor of this city has received the rather oool information that a person will bo sent up to identify the men if Columbia will bear the rxpeu8e. This may be consi? dered as rather a cool proposition, espe? cially when it is borno in mind that the supposed thieves were nabbed here after they had concluded their operations in Charleston and before they had time to do much in this vicinity.
