COLUMBIA, 3. C. Sunday Morning, June 8,1873. A New State Machine. Id commenting upon the reply of Morton, Bliss ^ Co., a few days ago, to the return of Comptroller H?ge, we tpcintcd cat the implied and almost ex? press denial in it of the sovereign rights of the State. We showed tho next lo? gical step to be to throw the State into baukruptoy, to divide out its assets, and n the future to-have a tabula rosa for the skillful operators, speculators and de? velopers generally. This would be prac? tically reducing it to tho ooudition which Wendell Phillips complained South Ca? rolina was so averse to, viz: .that of giv? ing up its old ideas aud civilisation, which were stubbornly antagonistic to those of Massachusetts, and allowing that humanitarian commonwealth to en? grave its own policy upon the virgin Bur .laOA thOS nrnrmrrwl And o'?ftUBed to ?e -celve it. What a glorious record would 'Phillips, the agitator, Ban Butler and Oakes Ames, aud others of that ilk, of the Credit Mobiliar aud salary steal or? der, not to mention so small a matter as silver spoons, make upon the new untar? nished tablets of the State bearing the name, bat being no longer the same South Carolina! There are still creep? ing about, here and there, some fossils ?who may be ready to say that our finan? ciers' skill was not shown in their mani? pulation and management of the Bine Bidge and some other railroads, while in ' their clutches, aud that the troubles and ? -vexatious of these roads date from the < time that they "went in" and "for" them. . - .But there are two sides to every quea v /iion, and we should hear before we tttrike. The operators in our stooks, the fasci .mating speculators in school certificates - and bills of the Bank of the State, the Xiand Commission managers, tho Fi? nancial Board of blessed memory, the rapid developers of oar resources tthrnagh epeanlation. and our preciooB railroad and other rings, may maintain that they have bean more sinned against than sinning. They may say, that they .Jhave wasted their time and talents in a fruitless effort to establish both general and special financial prosperity. That .the conditions were not favorable to -ttieir operations; that just as they had demonstrated that the horse could live ?nicely withoat food, ho foolishly went -and died. They may charge that they have been annoyed and perplexed, and sometimes seriously embarrassed, by the senseless olamor of the demented citi? zens and property-holders of the State, who, for the silly reason that they were ?bora in it, own the most of the property and pay nearly all the taxes, preposte? rously claim that they have an interest in its management. This embarrassment ?might be got rid of, by putting the State through the bankruptcy court, as these -jrelators, if logical, would hold that they have a right to do. Oaly thus could they dispose of the unsettled, so-called, ^equitable olaim of property-holders and ?-tAX-payers. and which otherwise might return to vox them. Should the old fos? silized ideas of right and justice onoo again proTail over the progress of the age and the new way to ruu a State ma? chine, the philanthropists may be oven more hampered in their operations, and seriously diverted from the most ap? proved methods of management. They mast not, then, minoo matters, but mast cut the Gordian knot of their difficulties. As things stand, not having a clear and satisfactory title in loo sim? ple, bat only tho usufruct for an indefi? nite time, liable to be suddenly deter? mined at any moment that tho capricious will of the colored votors and brothers might so decide, it looks a9 if their mu .nifest interest has beoa to make hay while the sun shone, to pat the machiuo through its best and most immediately profitable work, withoat regard to its wear and tear, or- the inoambrunoes which might thus be hoapod upon it, to be settled when the real owners camo into poE88B8ion. This was a plain, prac? tical, progressive business view of the matter. Some persons are even so un? charitable as to hint that proof may be found that it has been sucoosafally car? ried out in the princely fortunes that the managers and developors have amaased, and that the used-np conditiou of the old machine stands to attest the hard work it has performed in their bands. Whatever antiquated views may bo fee? bly set forth about honesty, honor, into giity, pride, &o., &o., it is clear that the parties onjoying tho usufruct, even if they do make a little by it, know how to ran the machine; and if they could bo secured in permanent possession, so that it would bo to their advantage to make lasting improvements apon it, instead of racking it for the last dollar it may be made to yield while their precarious te? nure holds, it might not be unreasonable to expect that, ia a short time, wo should have a doable front and baok action affair, a regular A No. 1, operating as well, or oven better, in the dark as in the light, the wonder of the age, and richiy deserving the recognition of all New England. Thus would we get a machine as in a machine. Obliterate State sovereignty, go through bank? ruptcy, and then for tho Patent Office. Sic itur ad astra. ' i m ? ? The Church Journal, an English pub lioation, illustrates its Christian oharity in an obituary tribute to the late Mr. Mill, ia which it says: "His philosophy, so called, wus tho? roughly anti-Christian; his sentiments daringly mischievous aud outrageously wild. His death is no loss to anybody, for he was a rank but amiable infidel, and a most dangerous person. The sooner those 'lights of thought,' who agree with him, go to the same place, the better for both church and State. We can well sparo the whole orew of them, and shall hear of their departure, whether one by one or in a body, with calm satis? faction." But if this be true, why wait for the slow aud unoertaiu baud of nature to re? move all the remaining members of Mr. Mill's mental family? The flesh of heretics and dissenters iu these days is no more proof against the pbyeical wea? pons of orthodoxy than it was in tho glorious time of tho Smithfield fires. It is true that the "dangerous persons," the misbelievers of the "rank but amia? ble" type of the late Mr. Mill, for whoso elimination the Church Journal so de? voutly yearns, number, probably, in nil Christendom, a good many millions. But that makes them so much the more dangerous, and the fire and sword of theological hate and intolerance cannot commence work upon them too Boon. The anxiety which the .Administration mauifeste to oarry the approaching State election iu Virginia is not only indecent bat suspicious. A very large majority of the States are already under the rule of the Administration party, and the eager- i 'dobs which the President's ring betrays to add Virginia to their conquests, looks as if they were aiming to set up a regime where no opposition would daro to raise its head, and where no discussion of Cameron and Butler Echcmes would make unpleasant Credit Mobilior revela? tions. This greediness to stamp out all opposition means something; it means a good deal, and it certainly does not mean au honest management of public affairj. So long as the people suffer an arrogant, over-bearing party to carry out in the respective States the pro? gramme which has debauched the State Governments of Louisiana aud South Carolina, so long will the plunderers plan new schemes of public fraud and peculation. An active minority is as ne? cessary for the public good as a wise ma? jority. - Louisiana.?Some of the leading Ra? dicals admit that Louisiana has been de? voted to ruin. A prominent Govern? ment official said, the other day, that he regarded tho future of South Carolina, Florida, Mississippi and Louisiana as almost hopeless, and Louisiana as the worst of all. The New York Times calls for a new Legislature, to be composed of the members returned by both returning boards as elected. This is tbo same compromise that was rejected by iuo Plnohback party, last winter, and it is probably suggested now in order to got rid of the disgrace of having the mulatto Pinohbaok in the Senate, aud to mako room for the President's brother-in-law. ?-?-*? +-> What These Granges Mean.?The Lawronco (Kansas) Tribune explains as follows: Mr. George Kimball, brother of Samuel Kimball, of this city, has be6u sick aud unable to do his farm work this spring. Seventeen of the Burr Oak Grangers rigged their teams on Monday, and broke up tweuty-sovci acres of ground, and left it ready for planting. There is something practical in that kind of grange work, and it has a smack of brotherly kindness iu it that would mako most any half-decent man want to be a furmer aud a granger. -I ?> m> >?. Urbano Ratazzi, whose death is re? ported, was born at Ale&iaudria, on the 29tb of June, 1803. He was educated at a Government echool, studied law and practiced at the Turin Bar until 1838. He was a member of the ministry of Charles Albert, in 1818, and in the fol? lowing year a member of tho Sardinian Parliament. In 1852, he wa3 made Pre? sident of ibeC amber. After a brilliant caroor in Italian politics, ho sucoceded, iu 18G7, Bignor Ricasoli as the head of the ministry, bnt_retirod in October of the same year, .for the past threo years, he has led the "Opposition," and was considered one of the most eloquent ex? ponents of its opinions. In connection with Mexican matters it is stated that a well-known Washington lobbyist, so long ago as last November, made large investments at Brownsville., on the Rio Grande, in anticipation of supplying the Government in caso of troublo with Mexico. TS.? Green-rM!? - =d Co!s=*Ms Railroad. It is gratifying to observe the increas? ing business and prosperity of the Greenville and Columbia Railroad, einco its connection with the South Carolina Railroad. To this cause aud to the skill, experience and efficient management of Superintendent Dodamead, its present success is attributable. We are not pos? sessed of tho exact statistics whioh will show precisely the increased amount of work done, or of profits realized, bat we understand that they havo fur exceeded all previous years, daring the past twelve monthB. Tho bridge over Broad River is nearly completed, and presents the appearance of a solid aud substantial struotare, whioh will stand the test of tho highest freshets, and successfully re* sist the soverest 9traiu. The road-bed, rolling stock, locomo? tive power, &c, are insufficient for the business, bat it is proposed, wo learn, by the Sooth Carolina Railroad Com? pany, as soon as the annoying litigation now going on in relation to tho road is settled, to devote whatever sum of money may bo necessary to refitting the road, and rendering its appointments first class in every respect. In tho meantime, the road will be run to its full capacity, and continue to maintain and increase its usefulness to the mer? chants and farmers uloug its route. Considerable activity appears to exist ut several points along the line, oven after the freight of fertilizers was all deli? vered; and some idea of thu amount of this may be formed from tho fact of more than 2*000 tons being taken to the one point of Anderson. Tho line of telegraph owned by the road is of great service and convenience to its business interests and to those of its customers and an inestimable advantage to all iu tho peculiar ciroamBtaoces which render quick and prompt transmission of in? telligence desirable and gratifying. Several years ago, when tho original stockholders were induced to sell oat, the ostensible purpose of the purchase was to place the roud in the bands of active, enterprising and experienced railroad men of ample means, with the expectation of its immediate improve? ment n'.d thorough renovation. We were to have two trains a day run from Columbia to Greenville; freights wore to be reduced, bo as to give an impulse to agricultural productions along the road, and thus advance tho industrial prosper? ity of all the uppor Counties, increase the trade of Columbia and Charleston, and incidentally prove beneficial to tho entiro State. Tho prospeots thus held out were very alluring, and deceived some of oar most sogaoious and practi? cal citizens, among them notably the late lamented Judge Orr. Whatever might have been the worthy objects of some of the parties who originally abet? ted the enterprise, the road finally fell into the hands of a ring, tbe only desiro of whioh seemed to be to swindle the State oat of its stock and encumber the road with spurious bonds. They ran it antil, in their hands, it was no longer worth running, aud then disposed of it to the South Carolina Railroad Com? pany. Under its favorable auspices uuu the vigorous management of Col. Doda? mead, it has shaken off the shackles which havo heretofore crippled its ope? rations, and is now in a fair way to prove a handsome and brilliant success, and to answer the business purposes of the peo? ple, for which it was primarily intended. -< ? Columbia, S. C, June 7, 1873. Editok Fhcknix: I notice iu your pa? per of yesterday the statement regarding tho authenticity of the "Thomas J. Myers" letter, to tho effect that the Pre? sident of tho United States commission? ed officers in regiments from States. I desiro to correct such statement. The Presidont never at any timo commis? sioned any officer to serve in any regi? ment from Massachusetts or any other State. Tho officer, of all military organ? izations from all States during tho war, were commissioned by tbo Governors thereof. Tho officers of oolored Slate organizations wore commissioned by tho Govornor. Of coarse, the officers of those colored regiments raised by tho United States were commissioned by tbo ProBident. They wore not State troops. It made do difference as to tho commis? sioning of officers by Governors of States, after troops have been accepted by the United States Government. Tho Governors continuod to commission all officers thorein. Should yon desiro any further proof of this, you can easily obtain it from tho War Department, or from tbe several Executive Departments of rite States. Knowing your spiiit of fairness in all times, I trust you will do tho justice to givo this publicity. Respectfully, E. W. EVERSON. Gen. Sheridan, speaking of tho late raid into Mexico, said: "Tho Rio Grande is suoh a crooked river, you koow, that McKenzie probably couldn't toll whioh side of it he was on."

An elderly colored woman, named Emily Bakcman, fell dead, Friday evening, from an attack of apoplexy. Dr. Geiger made a post mortem examination. Trinity Sunday.?To-day is what is known in the Episoopal and Catholio Churches ns Trinity Sunday. In tho latter, it is celebrated with great solem? nity. It is tho last day on which com? municants can perform their Easter do ties, a non-performanoo of which sub jocts tho porson so failing to tho penalty of excommuuicution.

She hud been in failing health for some time, but her death was rather unexpected. She was tho widow of the late Bernard Reilly; a native of Elberton, Elherton County, Georgia, but had resided in Columbia more than fifty years?her ago being bixty-nine. Mrs. Reilly was a member of the Roman Catholic Church. She leaves a son and several daughters. The funeral services will be performed at St. Peter's Church, this afternoon, at 5 o'clock. Adjournment of the Dental Asso? ciation.?The South Carolino State Dental Association, whioh bos been in session in this city for the past three deys, adjourned yesterday afternoon, to meet in the city of Charleston, on tbe third Tuesday in June, 1874, at half-past 8 o'olook. It was a very harmonious and interesting session. A vote of thanks was returned to Mr. Theo. M. Pollock, of the Wheeler House, and also to the railroad companies, for courtesies ex? tended to tbe members of the Associa? tion. Tbe following officers were elected to serve for tho ensuing year: W. S. Brown, President; T. F. Chupein, First Vico-President; G. F. S. Wright, Se? cond Vice-President; W. D. Reynolds, Corresponding Secretary; I. H. Alexan? der, Recording Secretary: T. W. Bou? cher, Treasurer. To love nature and respect her laws, is tho beginning of wisdom. Tbe experi? ences of life should always be purely normal. The blood bears the same re? lation to physical life as thought to the spiritual; and neither should ever be? come perturbed through appliances not lawful?immoral, unhealthy. By the exerciso of this cure, yon will be relieved from the dread of chimeras dire?re? moved from passion, frenzy, fear. So life will remain the pare, crystal river or our childhood, flowing evenly on, its waters always musical and sweet, mur? muring down the deolivities of age, where, daily, naturo becomos perennial and lifo immortal. From oar Bufferings tho soul gathers wisdom and growth, but without may be wise and grow, if reared out of the shadow of siu. There was never n pang or pain, regret or care, sor? row or despond in the world but sin brought it. Only where its shadow falls, suffering abides; and there, through ex? piation, removes the stain, while, as tho darkness lifts, the soul espands into light, as if no sin had fallen. Let snob of us as may, alas! how few, be wise and avoid sin; and for us who oannot, there remains pationoe under suffering, and thankfulness for tbo most obvious of di? vine mercies?tbo wisdom and growth it bestows. With all these oome blessings without number; aud at tbo close, tho heavenly benediotibns cover us as a tree is clothed with its fruit iu the time of ripeness and harvest. ? The Blub Ridge Railroad?Appoint? ment of Assignees ?After a somewhat warm session, yesterday, before Registrar Carpenter, Messrs. J. P. Southern and J. P. Low were elected assignees.

Palmetto Orphan Homk.?At a meet? ing of the Trustees of the Palmetto Orphan Home, held at tho office of Dr. J. VY. Parker, it was decided to accept the resignation of Bev. Tilman R. Gain es, as general agent, bat that he be requested to continue hie aid, as may be convenient; and that Mr. Caughmao, of Lexington, be requested to serve as an active agent in oanvassing the State, in behalf of the Palmetto Orphans' Home, by lectured and otherwise, aa may seem to him best to do; and that the services of a lady to aid in the editorial depart? ment of the Graham' Appeal be secured. The matron, Mrs. Lyons, ia to be allow? ed an assistant, who shall be qualified to fill the position of teacher, nurse or house-keeper, as may be required. There are at this time twelve children at the home, and several applications are on tile. During the past, year two have died, who were buried in Elmwood Cumeto.y. The stockholders of the cemetery have made a donation to the Home of a lot for future burials. The thanks of the Board of Trustees are re? turned to Dr. Georgo Howe, Jr., for his assiduous and kind attention to the State orphan children. This charitable insti? tution has struggled manfully in a noble cause, to be what it now is, and nothing strikes home nearer to the generous heart of the people of this State than the calls for aid in this direction. In other States the people have responded heartily. In Georgia the Augusta Asy? lum for Orphans, which made a similar start, has, through the generous sym? pathy of the people, proven to be a tho rough success in all its benevolent de? signs, and to-day the fact that the last annual report of that institntion shows property of the value of over $338,000, attests the chanty extended toward the helpless and the success of the manage? ment.
