Sunday Morning, July 13,1873. The night to the Columbia. Canal. We find oaraelvoa unable to support the proposition to pay Mr. Sprague $300,000 for the Columbia Canal. Wa do not know that be owns it. We have grave doubts about it. We arc disposed to question tho sufficiency of bis title. Was the purobase a fair and legitimate one? Is it free from the taint of fraud and corruption? Supposing it to be olear of these fliws, was not the sale conditional? If so, bave tbe conditions been honestly complied with? We do not believe tbey bave been. It would be rather too smart a thing for even Mr. Sprague to buy a property of tbis kind for a paltry 3200, and tbe little digging about tbe oanal wbiob be has done for the laat five years. The Slate ezpeoted sometbing else, and bargained for some? thing else, and its expectations and tbe conditions it imposed, havo not been consummated on tbe purchaser's part. Mr. Sprague appears to have done as little as pcasiblc on tbe work, und now proposes to sell at a buge profit. Well, we bope nobody is disposed to buy. Lot attention and inquiry be addressed to tbe point of ascertaining tho corroot ness of tbe doubts we bave raised as to tbe status of tbe property. To tbis end we suggest tbat a pnblio meeting of tbe citizens of Columbia be held, tbat our business and professional men, and all others wbo bave tbe stake of property, employment or residence bere, attend it, and let it proceed to investigate tbe quoat^qu of title. We should advise tbat feeling and prejudice be excluded from the meeting, that a serious purpose should animate its. .counsels and charao terizq its aolion.' A large committee of intelligent citizens, lawyers amongst khem, men of integrity and fairness, should be appointed to inquire into and report upon the points raised, and whe? ther it be not a cane for the courts to settle. We have more than once seen in the columns pf pur . i contemporary, the Union-Herald, the suggestion to pur ciitm; by the city. It has urged that the oily shall buy the water right for $300, 000, issue bonds for the payment, get the State to endorse' them, and tax tbe city property iu an amount necessary to pay tbe interest. There are insuperable difficulties iu the way of any such plan. The State and city havo more debt now than they can stand under, or are ever . likely to pay. The very word tax is odiou?. The schemo, too, would be likely to become a job, and fall into the hands of men both incompetent and dis? honest, und would go tbe way of all re? cent measures for development. Tbe remedy might be as bad as the disease. It.would miserably fail of good, and be abortive of any profitable results except to-its manipulators. Besides, tbe State endorsement-oannot be put upon such bonds, without violating tbe Consti? tution, as reoently amended by the popular vote. It would be tantamount to an inorease of the public debt, and tbis is prohibited. Besides, again, what amount of bonds would be necessary to raise 8300,000 in money? It would take at least fivo for one, and $1,500,000 in cuinbrance would thus be saddled on Stute or city, or both. The scheme won't do. Let us see rather whether we do not own tbe canal already. It we do not, wo can never bope to get it from Mr, Sprague nil as favorable terms as those upon which ho bargained for it; but $300,000 is out of the question in any case. ?-??-? The Unding of eighteen bodies of Nor? wegians at Spitzbergen by tbe German * who went to their relief, adds another to the long list of illustrations of the perils of Arctic exploration. Company after compauy have been wrecked on those icy headlands, or havo gone down un.ler the'feurful cold. What a list of valuable lives have been lost, from the valiant Hud-sou down to Franklin and our owu Captain Hill! And all for what? Prao tically nothing, it would seem. Wbo cares whether there are a'few leagues of glittering ice-fields more or less in those high Arctio latitudes? Of what use or value is it to mankiud to know that there is an open sea about tho Pole, or to be assured that a ship may possibly sail through tho grinding ice floea from Davis" to Bohring's Straits? The whole Arctic region is not worth so much as Madagascar, or even the Sandwich Islands, whicth we should hardly be will? ing-to take as a gift. -.+- ? Tho Froncb are comparatively quiet under tbe new regime, though f.ir irom reconciled to it. Ouo secret of their quiescence lies in the faot that tbey have 500,000,000 francs to pay to Germany before the 5th of September. They cau not afford to punish the Conservative* while Bismitrk stand* at their elbow with his little'-unpaid bill ami tho bi.^goat army iu Europe tooollect it with. I Wanted to Know.?One day, we see that Kellogg has telegraphed to tbe At? torney General of the United State?, at Washington, that all is quiet in Louisi? ana. Tbe next day, be telegraphs that the taxes are being paid with great promptness. Tbe next day, tbat the State has paid so many thousand dollars of interest on her bonds. And so on. On Tuesday, we read in tbe telegrams thut the Attorney-General had been in? formed by telegraph tbat Kellogg bad requested the Governor of Mississippi to prosecuto tbe parties oonoerned in the Rhett-Cooley duel. Now, what has the Attorney-General of the United States to do with Louisiana affairs? Why should ho be informed by telegraph, at the expense of the over-taxed people of that State, of overythiug that Kellogg and his undor-strappers bavo done or propose to do? Why should be be told that Louisiana proposes to do this, that or the other, bot nevar told what New York, Virginia or Pennsylvania propose-} to do? It is because Louisiana is a sa? trapy, and Kellogg Grant's satrap. Ho owes his offlae to Grant, and he reports to him as regularly as a sergeant-major or adjutant of tbe army renders his morning report. Kullogg seems to bo utterly insen?iblo to shame. Otherwise, we would scorn so to degrade even a State in which he can claim but a carpet? bagger's interest. Mark Tvrain is losing his prestigo. One of the papers says his account of the Shah's visit to England is as dull and wearisome as a third rate funeral procession. It shows how unfortunate it is to have been witty once. Every? body expects a shower of joke3 every time he opens his month or takes a pen in hand; and it is not in human nature to be funny all tho time. An essay of Mark Twain's withont any humor in it, is like a bottle of ginger beer withont any pop. The Wilmington (N. O.) Star is to be pitied. Hear it. There are a good many newspaper men in this State that might be called upon: _We are to be Sued for Damages. ? we trust our contemporaries, all of whom have, no doubt, received u circular concerning us from Richard H. Griffin, will give ub their heartfelt sympathy in this onr time of tribulation and sorrow. Griff, oalls himself an advertising agent, and he calls us very ugly names, beoause we published and commented on a para? graph from the Savannah Advertiser, in which some complimentary allusions were made to .the late firm of Griffin & Hoffman. In Griff.'s.circular, be makes as tremble like the aspen leaf, by hurl? ing at us such thunderbolts as this: "I shall lay bare your motives by an imme? diate Bait for damages in the United States District Court for tho District of North Carolina." Well, wo are misera? ble, indeed; bat we hope to survive the terrible ordeal through which wo are des? tined to pass. If Griff, will sue us, wc shall introduce as witnesses several North Carolina editors, whose testimony may have an important bearing on the result of tho trial. Meantime, wo shall look for letters of condolonce by every mail. Two prophecies are just now agitatiug the superstitious politioans of Europe. One is that Nostradamus, the French Seer of 300 years ago, who predicted that tho royal family, iu tho person of Heury V?better known us the Count de Cbambord, would bo exiled from tho throne of France for forty years; that then an Irish king's dosoondaut?Mac Mubon?would restore tho family to power, aud that thereafter another dy? nasty, understood in the light of com? paratively modern events to be tho Bo napartists, woald make a seizure of tho throne, occupy it for a short while, oud would thon be heard of no more. Tho second prophecy is that of Mario La taste, a French nun, who correctly fore? told tho year of Pope Gregory's death, the twenty-live years' pontificate of tbe present occupant of the Papnl chair, the persecution aud bitterness ho would cz pericuce, und his finul triumph of three years of lnortilication. Bo much of what she said has been verified by subsequent events, that the Romau clerical party confidently believe that tho rest will in good time be fulfilled. This is tho pro diction thut before the ilOtb day of Sep? tember, 1873, the present Ituliuu Govern* meut will bo overthrown, and tho pre* 1870 order of things re-established. Severe Wind Storm ?Last Saturday oveuiug, we wero visited by ono of the aevorest wind storms that has occurred here foryoars, but fortunately for us, it was of short duration. In some parts of the County, it was so severo as to blow down houses, uproot troes, fences, Sec. At Ellouton, on the line ?of tho Port Royal liuilroud, it was beyond precedent. Tho Masonic Hall, nearly completed, at that thriving little villugo, was com? pletely demolished, besides a number of out-huuscs, &o., iu course of eroctiou, leveled to tho earth. Fortunately, there was no loss of life or limb, that wo have yet heard ol.?Barnwcll Sentinel. Sad Accident.?Last Saturday, a young colored man, named MoDo?uM, fell asleep on tho truck near Branchville trestle. A train camo dashing along. The poor fellow awoke slightly; thu blinding light of the great lantern dazed his wearied eye?, ho dropped opon tho tr.iclt, aud iu a moment all was over.

Thb Disaster [on Green Lwutl, Wia comas?A Scsks of Tchhuk.?A ?jviiu? pondent of the New York Herald gives the particulars of the Green Lake disas? ter heretofore mentioned, and which oo onrred on the 4th inst. The correspond? ent Bays! Oieen Lake, Wisconsin, is one of the handsomest sheets of water in the West, situated six miles from Ripon, in Green Lake County. The Good Tem? plars of the vicinity bad planned a pic? nic, to be held on the East shore of the lake, opposite the village of Dartford, and people to the number of 1,000 bad gathered for the festivities of the day. About 10 o'clock in the forenoon, two sail boats, Ripon Qirl and A. B. Har shaw, started from Dartford, carrying a number of people. The Hurshaw had on board twenty-four persons, aod had in tow a small row-beat. When about the middle of tho lake, which is here about four miles wide, four of tho party wont from the Harshawinto the row-boat aud started for the shore alone. Tbeir names were William Bloxham, wifo aud chiia, and Lira. John Baird, all of Dart ford. In a few minutes a storm, which had been gathering for several hours, broke into a perfect hurricane. The boat of tho Harshaw had twenty persons on board, aud was so heavily laden that the water was withiu a few iuchesof the gun walo. So severe was tho force of the wind, that tho water of the luke was lifted up in huge masses, covering the bout. In an iustaut, on board the Harshaw the ill-fated crowd were hanging to her sides in the water. Tho small boat was ul*o swamped, and all on board perished. Shrieks of women and children tilled the air, and were plainly heard on the shore. The wind was followed by the heaviest fall of rain known for many years. Be? fore the frightened people who survived could recover from the effects of tho gale, the air was filled with rain, which camo down like one solid mass of water, de? scending into the lake. Thus the boats were delayed upwards of h*lf an hour, but at length they succeeded in picking up-fourteen persons, six of thellarshaw's crew having sunk to rise no more. Four persons in the small boat wero also drowned, one of the bodies being reco? vered. Mrs. Olin, of Dartford, was insensible, and did not recover until next day. Among those on the Hurshaw was Rev. T. F. Allen, Dartford, Methodist preacher, aooompanied by bis wife and little daughter. In attempting to save the life of his wife, who is in feeble health, he let go his hold of the child for an instant, and she sank beneath the waters of the lake. Mrs. Baird, who was drowned in the small boat, left in the Harshaw her little boy, Charley, aged six years, saying, as she left, "Be u good boy, Charley." Within ten mi? nutes she was drowned, while her little boy was providentially resoued. One of the ladies saved from tho wreck brought with her in her arms what was supposed to bo the body of her daughter. On reaching tho shoio and recovering from her fright she found that she had rescued another girl and her own daughter had been drowned. Her anguish was so great as to drive her frantic. The village of Dartford is described by the corres? pondent on the day after the disaster as entirely deserted, all of the inhabitants engaged in bunting for the bedien of the lost. Tho church bells were tolling dis? mally; about twenty boats wore on the lake, and tho steamer Bastic Belle oc? casionally carried detachments of new recruits to relieve those exhausted in vain Bearch after the drowned. All of the bodies except three have been re? covered. Rbdtbb's Great Persian Concession. We lutely gave some account of the rail? way concession which Buron Beuter, a Germau Israelite, residing in Eoglaud, was alleged to have obtained from the Sbah of Persia. A London correspond? ent of the New York World, who has lately "interviewed" Baron Beuter, rep? resents him ns saying in answer to inqui? ries that it was the famine in Persia which led to tho ratification of the con? cession. Thousands of persona died of .starvation in a land of plenty. There was an abundance of food in the coun? try, but owing to the want of roads it was impossible to convoy assistance to tho starving districts. Tho Shah, ac? cording to the Baron, as reported by the interviewer, Baw in the Baron's proposal a possiblo escape from the recurrence of such u oalamtty, and tho concession was made. Tho Baron also in made to speak of tho Shah's visit to Europe as lm own conception, ns ho wished him to seo tho roads, railways, manufactories, indus? tries, habits, modes of government and respective conditions of the people, lu regard to tho assumption of eoutrol over the customs alleged to bo yielded to Baron Beuter, he said that the system of levying tho customs in Persia is utterly bad and corrupt, tho right being "farmed" by a sot of officials who enrich themselves at tho expense of the people. He wished to abolish that, and hence tho arrangemout. He further stated that tho survey of tho railway from Teheran to Classic u is nearly finished, aud that in the course of the summer ho will ship his first lot of rails. Baron Router says ho wishes to encourage emi? gration from all nations to Persia. It used to bo tho Philadelphia lawyer, but now it is the surgeon. And this is tho way they go for him. Ho was called to a houso in Chestnut utroot to ampu? tate the limb of a lady, but mistook tho room, and sawed off the leg of a uowly arrived Germau girl, who quiotly sub? mitted to tho operation, thinking it one of the peculiar customs of tho country. It was a misunderstanding on her part, and he would not have sawed had he not beeu near-sighted.

Thb Duello P?ovE3 Nothing.?We Ii?biibu eiaewuereihe details cf the sn? ort anate duel whioh oooarred a few days since between B. B. Bhett,. Jr., and Judge Gooley. We do not propose to discuss the "Code," nor to say that duol ing ia right or wrong. We do not consi? der it always an evidence of personal courage to fight a duel, nor do we consi? der it an invariable evidence of cowardice to decline a challenge. Brave men have refused to fight, and oheap reputations have been made by challenging non-com batants. The bearing of the "Code," as applies to individual instances, is a thing to be regulated by tbe parlies imme? diately interested. We regret tho neces? sity that occasioned the death of Jud^e Cooley, and wo regret more, that as noble a man, as gallaut a Southron, and chi? valrous a gentleman as R. B. Rhett, Jr., had to commit the act of killing. Our sympathies all go to Rhett, and if either had to bo killed, we are glad that Judge Cooley had to fall. We are confident thut we reflect tbe seutiment of tho whole white people of the South. But then, we ask, what has heeu proven by tho duel? H-is tho status of ' facts "been changod by the fight and its results? Cooley believed in tho "Code;" Rhett, Jr., was schooled under its teachings; both were bravo men; they met, exchanged n couple of shots. Cooley foil, a vieMui to tho "Code," and tho facts remain j ist as they were, la tho language of the Augusta Chroia'cle and Sentinel, we ask: "Does Cooley'H death provo that tbe Picayune did assail Liugstreet, Herron aud tha rest of the Kollogg Returning Board as grossly us it did Mr. Huwkins, or that Colonel Bbett, the editor of that paper, is not an 'drtful dodger' or a 'wil? ful falsifier?" Is it settled that Judge Cooley was in the wrong, because his ball went wide of tho mark, while t hat of his onemy lodged in his heart? Surely uot. This bloody rolio of barbarism, this modern substitute for tbe auaiout ordeal of battle, with more than its folly and less thun its justification, can settle no? thing, oau prove nothiug. The 'Code' may make men murderers; it may carry desolation and heart-sickness to happy homes at?M families; it may make women widows and children fatherless, bat it can furnish no guide to the discovery of facts; it is powerless to determine a dis? puted question."?Selma (Ala ) Times.

Tho Washington Chronicle declares that "whether guilty or innocout of a deliberate murder, the position of yoang Walv, orth is a fearful ono for n youth of his oge," Yes, if ho were a youth of anybody else's age.it would be different; but nntortanately he isn't.

We didn't know that tho Chinese bad proper names. When wo see such horrid names us Ah Sin wo think that they have a good many very impropor ones. Some of tho papers think the fate of Lr Mountain, who ascended from loniu in a balloon, is not calculated to inspire confidence in tho enterprise of Professor Wise. Still, it is admitted that the ropes attaching tbo car to the balloon wero irrogularly adjusted, and conse? quently tho accident tells against the skill und dissrotiou of tho management, and not against tho balloon as u menus of transportation. The accidents from balloon ascensions amount to only about ono in a thousand. Experiment shows that it is the safest as.well as the quickest and easiest methou\j>f traveling.

No ouo who has carefully studied the subject in a practi? cal or a scientific way has discovered 11113' insurmountable difficulties, nor uny rea? son for thinking that, iu less than twen? ty-five yoars, tho air will bo traversed as frequently nud safely as the ocean is to? day. .Enal navigation has fewer obsta? cles to overcome than ocean navigation has already surmounted ; and uo man can turn his eye from a cauoe to a steamship without feeling that au air-ship is some? thing more than a possibility. ? - ?? ?
