Thnriiay Morning, Augnet 7.1873. Signs of tlie Tlmw Tbo Hilf preserving iustiucfs of the people of this otmutrj aru coming to the aid of the sober deductions of their judgment, iu reference to the ooirnpt and dang' rous toudenoies of the parly in control of the Government. These tendencies are so manifest that they are beginning to reach down to the con? sciousness of even the humblest in the land. Movements, grounded iu this consciousness, are quietly going on, which look to the settlement of the. Go? vernment in new. hands und ou a new basis of principles. The great farmers' awakening in the North-west, and the profound agitation throughout the North, in behalf'of the rights tf-.Jabor among the laboring classes, while aimed immediately and ostensibly at the com? binations of capitalists, and speculators, and tho monopolies of railway rings, go really to the root of the mutter of bad government. Eminent men in the dominant party withdraw from its eonnsels and retire to their tents to await tho -.o changes of time to which they look moro hopefully thau to their own efforts. Others more active and more patriotic, like tho leading sae.-ders under the banner of Greoioy and re? form, boldly take, a* they took, the eonsequenoos of >i manly protest against corruption. The movement, under Greeley, was not wholly abortive, and the eloquent harangues and lucid ex? posures of Sumnor, notwithstanding their bitterness, have done much good In opening the eyes of tho rank aud file to tbo dangers ahead. Conspicuous among the moro recent political events which show restlessness and dissatisfaction with the oondition of affairs, arc the platform and resolutions of the Ohio Liberal Convention, at Co? lumbus, based upon the letter of lion . W. S. Groesbeck, copiod into our co? lumns a few days since. He thinks that the Democratic party has committed er? rors of policy, and mcde somo damaging surrenders. It must enter iuto now com binatiouB, and utter no doubtful voice, before it oan retrieve its influence, und win success. The views he expresses aro sound ami uuexceptiouable, and mostly identical with the Cincinuuli platform, with the notable addition of uu rnoom proraisiug position on the subject of free trade. The notion of the Ohio Con? vention is highly commended By Demo? cratic, Conservative and Liboial Repub? lican journals, aud are likely to meet the approval of thinking aud independ? ent men of the Republican party itself. It proposes frankly to accept the results of the war, to oppose all forms of mo? nopoly and oentraliz-itioo, and to main? tain the reservations of States' rights, and local governments. It raises high the banner of strict construction, and the broad ensign of free trade, and pro? poses to carry the war into Africa against a prohibitory tariff. Whether tho Ame? rican people will heed this action and rally under the standard which is raised, or not, it cannot bo excepted to ou any substantial or tenuble grounds. It may, and likely will, be blown away at pre? sent, but will have strength enough to re-appear after many days. The declara? tions aru good, true and timely, and will not return void. T&raS?&veby of Diinr.?Those who have always enjoyed a competency and freedom from the care and anxiety of earning their daily sustenance, can havo but little appreciation of the shackles of bondage which debt forges about the uufortunato or extravagant debtor. The servitude is as severe as that of the Bra? zilian slave, and tho intellect ,;.>.>n feels the blighting effuet?, giving evidence of a disordered and unstable reason, un? fitted for either great mental eiTort or high reach of the imagination. Neces? sity does not beget iutollectuul inven? tion. Tho toiler at tho oar, pulling against wind and tide, can only pull; beyond that, his powers are feeble. Jean Paul Richter, with but a penny-roll in hie house, grasped at the shadows flitting by in his grand arena of poetio creations, only to feel hie hand close upon nothing but his own rnisory. The feeling of sub? mission, of dependence, drags genius from Olympus into tho dust of humility at its foot. One of the greatest of tho many evils of a debtor's existence is, that ho is compelled" to offer to whatever bidder his wares, iutellectnal or commercial, at any price offered. TJuuble from neces? sity to stand independently awaiting a return suitable for tho quality of his worth, he sacrifices jewels for the value of trash. Those who are so situated in life that, without feeling tho thirst and bnngor of poverty, they can await for the demand ou their okili or ubility commands a higher market or greuter appreciation. The same professional aivice coming from the needy physician and the popular aargeon, return? a shil? ling to one and a crown to the other. The late Horace Greoley never gave better advice to yonng men than in his terse injunction, "Never get in debt." Forego everything that perhaps educa? tion and habit havo accustomed one to look upon ks necessaries, if existeuoe can be kept op, rather than rivet about the neck tho burden of u creditor's obain. It is as unjust to those who furnish the credit as it is to one's self. Poor Wilkina Mioawber, the unappre? ciated, lived a life of trepidation, not unlike that of the felon, who sees an officer in every bush. Tittlebat Tit? mouse had street after street closed to his travels about his humble lodging place, as he incurred one debt utter another on noigbboriug thoruughf.ireH. The Micawbcrs and Titmousos of this world are many. The frightened air, the hurried look, as tho poor unfortu? nate sees an approaching collector, or hears bis name called, indicate the vic? tim of extravagance or tho creature of mishap. "Pay as you go" never costs a man his self-respect, and his merits are never pawned at the world's golden balls at o^e-quarter their value. -?-??-? Brave Words fKom Pennsylvania.? Mr. Samuel J. Randall, Chairman of the Stute Democratic Committee of Pennsylvania, has just issued an address calling a State Convention to assemble on the 27th day of this month. In this address, he states that he was unaui mously instructed by the committee to call the attention of the people of Pennsylvania to the political conditiou of Louisiana, in order that the Stato Convention, when it assembles, may be prepared to express its opinion of tho "infamons nets" of the Federal Execu? tive in subjugating, overthrowing aud destroying the rights of the sovereign people of a sovereign Stato by violent, unlawful and unconstitutional means, using Federal troops aud the usurped power of a Federal Court to determine and deoido questions of local franchise, constitution and government. The ad? dress goes even farther, and frankly and boldly announces that the "Demo? cracy of Pennsylvania proclaim in ad? vance that one of the issues before the people of the country will be free Statos or subjagated provinces, tho right of the people to govern themselves, or the power of the Federal Goverument, Fe? deral troops and Federal agents to go? vern the people of tho States by force and without luw, right or constitutional sanction." Bravol this is a good enough platform for the Democracy all over thu country to etaud on and to fight upon. I Let tho Pennsylvania Democrats make this ivsue squarely and fairly before the pooplo, and our word* for it, they will triumph for once over the hosts of cor? ruption. # ? ?? The Graniteville Killing.?From a brother of Willie Howard, the little white boy who killed a colored youth in Granitcville, Monday, we learn that Willie was taken bofore a magistrate in Graniteville for a preliminary examina? tion. From the evidence, it appears that thu negro, a boy about ton yeurs of age, was sitting on a door-step as Willie Howard was passing along the street, singing. The boy madu some insulting remaik to Willie, who is between ten and eleven years old, when au alterca? tion arose between tho two, in tho course of which Willie stabbed the negro in the neck with a pocket-knife, inflicting a wound which caused the death of the boy in a short time. The magistrate 6ent Willie to Aiken in charge of a ne? gro constable for commitment to the jail in that plaoo. The Sheriff of the County, Mr. Hiram Jordan, instead of putting the little fellow in jail, however, took him to his house, and placed him in a room with one of his own boys. Willie's trial will take place in Septem? ber. Efforts, we nuderstand, are being made to havo him bailed. I Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel. Inpancv of King Cotton.?lu his col? lection of essays on "Science und Com? merce, and their Influence on Manufac? ture," Mr. Simmons gives tho following account of tho ?rnt importation of raw cottou to Eugland from the United Statos: "Many years ago, the tsenior editor of one of the lending American papers was informed by his venerable friend, Mr. Samuel Maverick, of Pen dleton, that when a boy, as clerk in tho bouse of bis uncle, Mr. William Turpiu, of Charleston, ho assisted iu packing the first bag of cotton ever sent to Li? verpool from the United States. The oottou packed by Mr. Maverick was put up iu tho seed. This was long before Whitney's invention of tho cotton gin. The consignee of the lone bag of cottou informed the house of Wadawortk & Tnrpin that he could not sell it. that it was valueless, and advised them to send no more." A Coming Man, (Perhaps )?The House of Hobeuzollern is divided into two branches, one Protestant, the other Catholic. The Protestant branch ruies Prussia; the Catholic branch has no principality, but is in membership with the Prnssian royal family. Prince Leo? pold, who had so much to do with tho Franco-Prussian war, is u member of the lattor branch. He is allied by mar? riage to the Kings of Portugal aud Bel? gium. He is said to be a rum of great ability, a gallant noldier, and, if Spain is to have a King, he is perhaps the mobt eligible Priuoo, personally, that can be picked up in Europe ut this time. Hearts hive they, yet pity not?Cab bag*:* Onto -Uwrd ii A ? N?rvr Ub?r?l P?tijr Pormtd. CoziUMbus, July 30. The Liberal Republican Convention met this morning, and adopted resolu? tions adopted by their caucus last night, to dissolve their organization aa Liberal Republicans, and uuiL? with the Alien Oounty new departure. To-day, tbo new party People's Con? vention aseombled at 11 A. M., at Am boy Hall, and was oalled to order by Hon. T. E. Cunningham, leader of the Allen County movement, who made a short speech explanatory of the move? ment. In the course of his remarks, he said that both the prominent parties were in such condition as to make a new party an absolute necessity for tho pro? tection of the people. Neither of the present parties cau accomplish the needed reforms. Ouo will not, aud the other cannot help the people. Corrup? tion was rampant in all departments of the Government, and it was high time the peoplo took the management of their own affairs in their own hands. Hon. Georgo E. Pugh was chosen temporary Chairman. He said that although he was a Democrut of the I deepest dye, ho wus williug to join I hands with all houest men to stop steal I ing in high and low places, and to stop extravagant grants of the public domain, which, by right, waB tho proporty of tho poople. Wo kuow these great evils, and como hero to devise carefully and well. After the appointment of the usual committees, Judge W. B. Cald well, of Cincinnati, was called on nud made a speech, Ebowiug tho necessity for a new party as u moans ox restoring the Government to its former purity. The following platform was adopted with much enthusiasm: Resolved, That we declare against a caucus or convention, which fails to pre? sent fit candidates for oihee; it is the high privilege, as well as the Uoundou duty, of all good oitizeus to withhold their votes from such candidates, und regardless of party affiliations, to sup? port the be it meu presented for official position. 2. That both the Republican and De? mocratic parties have outlived the issues iu which they had their origin, and have outlived their usefulness, and a new or? ganization of parties is demanded in the lutcrestn of tho public welfare. 3. That tho Republican party, haviug control of both branches of Congress aud the Executive Department, is di? rectly responsible for the legislation [ known as the salary grab; for the squan-1 deriug of publio lauds in grants to pri? vate corporations; for the release of railroads from their just obligations to the Government, uud other manifesta? tions of corruption, as developed by the Credit Mobiliar and other investigations, and that those members of tho Demo? cratic party who acquiesced iu such le? gislation, equally deservo public cou demuutiou. 4. That wo believe tho fundamental purpose of the Government is protection of persons, and not meddling with, aud the regulation of the business, industry and couscicnces of its oitizene; nor the assumption of such works by the Fede? ral, State or municipal governments as may safely, aud should properly, bo left to iudustrial enterprises. 5. As corruption cau bo sucooasfuUy combatted only by removal or lessening temptation, we uro in favor of a reduc? tion of the functions now exercised by the Government bureuns aud officials, believing, as wo do, tuat tho continuully increasing army of Federal olfico-hold ers is an evil, increasing iu danger as the country grows. 6. That grants of subsidies in laud or money, and of special privileges und exemptions to national banks aud other great moneyed corporation*, und all fOt? terings of monopolies at the expense of tho whole people, are unjust and oppres? sive. 7. That tho practice of electing stock? holders aud officers of national banks to seats iu Congress, wheroby great gains of continued irredeemable paper money are secured to theso institutions by the votes of interested parties, is a national scandal, which deserves tho condemna? tion of every good citizen, and ought to be prevented by proper legislation. 8. That wo iusist upon strict observ? ance by the General Government of the constitutional limitations of its power, and we demand home government iu till j local affairs. 9. That wo bolievu the business ol the Govorumeut should be transacted upon the same principles that regulate the business of private individuals. We believe, therefore, that the appointment of biibordiuato officials should depend upon their qualifications, und that their tenure should depend on their fitness and efficiency; und in this respect a re? turn to the praotiee of the early days of thi republic ia highly desirable and ne ces-ary. 10. That the duties uu imports, so long us such duties are necessary, should be imposed for tho purpose of reveuuc only, and not for tho pnrposo of benefiting or enriching private indi? viduals or companies, or favoring par? ticular branches of industry at the es? pouse oi tho wholo people. 11. That it is the duty of tho Govern? ment to repeal all laws that favor capital to the prejudice of labor. Speeches woro made by Hons. Thos. Ewing and Frederick liassaurcek, of Cincinnati, favoring tho ticket und platform. The Convention then ad? journed. There are so many Americans travel ing in Europe this year, that at nearly all the English churches on tho conti? nent, it is said, tbo usual prayer for the Queen is immediately followed by cue \ for the I'rosideut of the United States. Tue Path to Paradise.?Acoordiug 1 to the profossiou of two Alaryluud rnur- j derers, who wero bunged tho other day, j the sure way of getting to llcaveu is to | murder some oid lady, uud get religion along with a halter. Disturbance at Fort Mills?The j Neqeoes Defy the Civil Authorities. A person from Fort Mills informs us that great t xcitement was caused at that Slace on Sunday and Monday, 20th and 1st nit., by threatening demonstrations from the negro population. It seems that a negro, Chap. McKeuua. (formerly from this place, aud, we believe, a fugi? tive from justice,) defied Che village po? lice and resisted arrest. The policemau succeeded, after two or three blows with hie ??billy," in "bringing him to," and marched him off'to the calaboose; but after arriving there, the prisoner was left in oharge of another gentleman, while the officer went for the key of the prison, and Chap., seeing a fuvurabie opportunity, made good his escape He immediately circulated uround uu tho plantations in the vicinity and ga? thered up quite a number of colored men, armed with guns, bxcb, &b., who came in a short distance of tho towu, threatening death aud destruction to the inhabitants. They paraded around ihe-villnge (at a safe distance) for two or three days, finally rendezvousing about a mile from town. An old citizen of the place v.vnt out und advised them to disperse aud go to their homes, which they did. A couple of State cout-tublt'S from P.ock Hill, arrived-" ou Monday, after tho excitement hud abated-and the ruffians hud dispersed. No arrests wore made, but we presume thut onr vigilant Circuit Judge, should not the inferior officers of the Cuuuty do their eluty, will not let the matter pass unnoticed.?Lancaster Ledger. Old Troy Unbari~ued,?A private letter from -Mrs. Fruncis, wife of tl\e AtucriCAU Minister to Greece, conveys the fir.-rt intelligence of the complete and bri'h mt success attending Mr. Scbliomanu's long continued explora tions ou the bite of ancient Troy. The letter days: Mr Suhlicmaun has returned from Troy. He has completed his excava? tions, after three years uf labor, by a grand master-stroke. Ho has discovered the Palace of Priam aud large treasure iu gold and silver. He has carried away with him forty large cases containing various articles, also liftc-eu baskets of real treasure. Wi called upon him at his residence for th^ purpose of examin? ing his collection. I taw iu his house gold goblets and vases which shine j -ist like the gold of our age. I u!se> saw some beautiful head ornaments made of gold, massive and well made, resembling those now woru by the modern Greeks. There is u golden goblet weighing nearly three pounds, also a quantity of small rouui ear-riugs, such as are used untl vorn by children of our days. DivntiDLTioN oi- the Sexes ?In nnmbers, the two sexes are very nearly equal in the United States: males 10,493,5155; females 19,004.806; but the distribution is not even. Tho greatest excess of males is found in Idaho (12,184 to 2.815 females,) Montana (10,771 to 3.821) Wyom.ng (7,219 to 1,899.) and Nevada (32.379 to 10,112) Females' are in excess iu Alabama (001,5150 to 4S2.47?.)

Frederick Monks, of Willkitnfeburg, N. V., is an example for all men who havo n hankering after their uncles' wives. Frederick supplanted his uncle in tho affections ol the hitter's better half, and tho guilty but loviug pair es? caped iu company to New York, where thu undo, who was naturally indignant, found them. The wii'o drew a pistol and threatened suicide. Iu the strug? gle for its possession, tho weapon ex? ploded, tho bull wouneliug the woman. Frederick, at tho :'.ame moment, fired another pistol and dropped dead; und the moral is, that it is dangerously un? healthy to go off with your unoie'b or anybody else's wife. - - ?

Health:holt} a meeting- on the Oth inst., at which the following preamble and re? solution were adopted, and the Clerk of , the Board furnished Capt. J. A. Jaok aon, Chief of Police, with a copy of the same: Whereas the water furnishtd to this city by the Columbia Water Company is extremely impure aud unfit for domestic purposes, it has been declared a nui? sance by this Board. The health of many of our citizens has greatly been impaired, who, from their circum? stances, have been compelled to use said water. The experience of many years i has demonstrated the fact that an abun? dant BOpply of pure spring water has been and can still be obtained for the supply of the city, for uil purposes whatever. Request has been made to Col. 8. A. Pearoe, the Agent of the Co? lombia Water Power Company, cot only by this Board, but by a mass meeting of the citizens of our city, to desist in supplying the city with river water, and to supply us with pure spring water, with which we have herefore besn sup? plied; but the said Samuel A. Pearce, Agent of the said Columbia Water Power Company, bus refused, aud still refuses, to comply with their reasonable request, whereby this greut evii might be corrected, aud the popular excite? ment aud iudignatiou of our citizens al? layed. Therefore, be it Resolved, That Captain J. A. Jackson, Chief of Police of the city of Columbia, with the aid of his police force, be, and is hereby, directed to proceed at once to abate said nuisance, peaceably if be can, forcibly if he must, by severing the connecting pipes between the receiving reservoir of the Columbia Water Power Company, ot the river, and the receiv? ing reservoir at the ?team mil! lot, in which the water from the park and else? where is collected; and that be is here? by ordered to place the ?team mill in working order, and proceed to supply tho city through the distributing reser? voir with pnre spring water; and if he finds his force inadequate to carry out the instructions of this Board, he is hereby authorized to employ a sufficient force to carry out said instructions of the Board. Captain Jackson consulted the City Attorney, as to his power to carry into effect tho instructions of the Board of Health'. The following is the opinion of the attorneys for tho city in the water ca?;e: Coi.cmuia. S. C , August-G, 1S73. The above resolutions of-the Board of ! Health have been submitted to us for j advice in tho premises. We are clearly of opinion, that the Board of Health cannot revoke tho temporary injunction of his Hvnor Judge Carpenttr. His I opinion, right or wrong, moat be oboyed until it cau be dissolved by due course of law. It may be dissolved by Jke Judge himself or by the Supreme Court. We cannot advise any proceeding that might lead to a breach of the peace. Greatly as the community is suffering, it would sufler much more by any illegal conduct on the part of tho city.
