COLUMBIANS. C. Tuesday Morning, August 18,1873. Think on Thtie Things. The beauties of Republican Govern? ment, as administered by our back-pay President, may be briefly illustrated by referenoe to two or three notorious facts, which we find, like "orient pearls at random strong," in the news items of our issue of Thursday. The inscrip? tion, "For sale" or "To rent," is posted on more than COO houses an J stores in New Orleans. This is the direct result of the President's presumption, by the usQ of Federal troops and the usurped power of a Federal Court, to decide questious which belong to local consti? tution und government. How consis? tently, to the bitter end of the people's ruin, does ho support his set of rascals in Louisiana! What cares he, that in doing so, he stifles Hfo and liborties? He enjoys it, more likely. We are glad that the State Democratic Committee of Pennsylvania, in calling a convention, has direotod attention to the political condition of Louisiana, and announced that the "Demooraoy of Pennsylvania proclaim in advance, that ono of the issues before the country will be free States or eubjugated provinces, the right of the people to govern them? selves, or the power of the Federal Go? vernment, Federal troops and Federal agents to govern the people of the States by force, and without law, right or constitutional sanction." A good issue, certainly, upon which to go bo ?ioro the country. Sorely the American people will rebuke this flagrant usurpa? tion. Again, it is stated in Thursday's de? spatches, that "Colonel Hughes, Repub? lican nominee for Governor, Congress? man Platt and Colonel Curtis, of Virgi? nia, called on the President, who gave them assuranocs of support in the oom ing canvass in that State." This is re? prehensible and shameless, to announce ? before the world that the decencies, not !S0 say the sanotities, of tho high po? sition of President of the United States are thus to be violated. Assurances of support moaus corrupt use of power, money; bayonets, repeating 'voters, aud Administration roughs from other States. How far bolnw statesmanship, und evon decent manhood, is this cool declaration. Again, tbo President promoted his sou, Frederick Grunt, who stood low down iu his olasa at West Point, to be Lieutenaut-Colonel in tho army, in vio? lation of tho regular rulos of promotion, ^nd iu contempt of civil servioe regula? tions, over a veteran officer who had seen service, and bore its marks in ho? norable wounds upon his person. Tho country was horrified a moment, us upon occasions of so many other usurp? ations and indelicacies perpetrated by the President. It seems oblivious, but such things will come to judgment. Tho dies ircH will dawn at last. Reoently, this scion of tho would-be Emperor was sent on a military expedition with a flourish of trumpets, and now we havo the aunouncement that he "has uncere? moniously quitted the Yellowstone expe? dition, preferring to-Bpend the remain? der of the summer at Long Branch," Very likely bo does. Liko father, like eon. But the people treasure all tbcse things iu their hearts. A claim agent recently addressed a letter to the Commissioner of Pensions, asking him to send, with as little delay as possible, a supply of official postage stamps, to be used by him in his com? munications with the offic9. As these stamps are for the nse of Government officers only, he was informed that his request could not be granted. Some members of Congress, even, are under the impression that tbey will be sup? plied with these stamps; but such is not the coso. Until the law abolishing the franking privilege is repealed, members of Congross will havo to use the ordi? nary stamp, tho samo as the common horde. It will be remembered that one argument in favor of the increase of, the pay of Congressmen was that they would hereafter have to pay their own postage Mm Ramo as honest men. Ex-Governor Wise, of Virginia, who, nntil a few weeks ago, asserted that he would never bo reconstructed, is to sup? port the Republican candidato for Go? vernor, and the Republicans are to elect Wise to the Senate. The New York Graphic, referring to this nice little arrangement, says that it will, doubt? less, givo ohtiro satisfaction to all parties but Virginia. "Her predica? ment," says that journal, "with Hughes as Governor aud Wieo iu the Sonate, ro miml6 us of tho pretty quarrel between Governor Wiso and President Buch? anan, u9 to who should hang John Brown. Our friend Clapp wittily sug? gested that bo should be hung between the two." It seems to be certain that most ot the j worst troubles whloh now beset the Be- ] publican Government of Spain1 are the work of the pestiferous school of agi? tators and destructives, who in Europe call themselves "Communists." Wher? ever there bas been turbulence in that country at a time when nothing bnt harmony ahonld prevail; wherever there has been an attempt by so-called "P.udi oals" to overthrew the Government that is striving to give Spain a republic of ordor, us well as liberty; wherever tho national'ships have been stolon away; whorever thero has been wanton riot and cold-bloodod murder of faithful officers in tho houorable discharge of their duties; whorovcr there have been petro? leum burnings, ravages aud destruction ?there "Communisla" havo turned up. Some of them aro French, some Ger? man, Borne Spanish, but they are nil aliko ??destructives." Their cue great distinguishing characteristic is destruc? tion. Wherever they get away, oven for a day, thoy set instantly to work to de? stroy, and neither religion, nor social order, nor hifctjrioal edifices, nor patri? otic monuments, nor private property, nor human life, is safe from their devas? tations. Occasionally, a few of those appear in our American cities, and to remind all Americans of what manner of people thoy are, is the object of these remarks. - A ScnscTusup. Not a eeaz>Lr:.--Yfe cheerfully publish the following truthful communication, and hope borrowers will profit by it: Mn. Editoh: I an au old subscriber to your very excellent papur; iu fact, I think I am among tbo first on your sub? scription list; and, besides that, I think I havo paid you all I owe you, from the time you started your "little ofiioc 'round tho corner," up to the present time; and I feel as though I could not possibly do without having it in my house, whero I can read and refer to it at any moment I should feel disposed? nfter breakfast, at least. How pleasant it is to get up iu tho morning, get your breakfast, light a cigar, and then take up the morning's paper (that you have paid for) and oujoy tho ploasanc mo? ments that such a situation will certainly afford. How grand and g^'oas tho thought! That's the way I used to read, and, at the same time, enjoy my paper; bat now things have changed,.aud it is as follows: Iu the morning, first thing after breakfast, I call for the paper, but am informed that old Air. P.. has borrowed it, but will soon return it again. Fro eently there's a knock at the door. I go there Bufc what Jo I see uud hear" Nothing more nor less than that charm? ing, ana "yet familiar tune, "Pa suys please send tho paper, if it has come." Well, no it goes, and so it will keep on, if I don't get cut of the house, or else lock it up. But that doesn't provent them from coming; thoy will coics in spite of me, uud will jump the fence if I lock the gate, and rap at thii door as though thoy were on some business of great importance. This morning I was ronBod from my slumbers just about day-break, und haviug expeoted a friend from the country, I jumped out of bed hurriedly, turned over something near by, dressed myself, and went to the door, with a wet foot aud a happy heart, to receive my friend. I opened tho door and found, instrad of my* country friend, a little shaver, who inquired if tho paper had come; and if it hadn't, to please let him stay ou the front stops till it did oome, so hu might be the first to got it. I told him yes; but I did not like to be disturbed eo d?d early about it?told him to return it as soon as he was through with it, so that I might havo a chance to read, too. lie did re? turn it; and just as suoa as be was through with it, for he is an accommo? dating iiitle fellow; but he didn't get thrpagh wHh it until he hud let the neighborhood read it. When I baw it that day, for tho first time, it was torn in three places, greased, smutted aud stained with cofiee and mackerel fut. And now, Mr. Editor, what I wan! is, that you will give this class of people a hint or two on the matter, and give them moro distinctly to understand tliat tho "price of tbo Pikenix is only five cents," and that thoy ?.*n as well afibrd to pay that amount a"* I can. TIM SQUIBB. -!?>?>?. ? - As Olp Cash.?A correspondent of tho Charleston 2fc.es, writing from Greenville under date of the Oth, says: Tho United States Court commenced its August Bcssion horo on Monday last, Judge Bryan presiding, and immediately proceeded to important business, taking up the caso of ono sot of the hei? of General Davio against another set of his heirs, claiming a vitfnnblo estate of 3,000 acres ou Cutawba River, Chester County, in this State. Hamilton, of Cheetor, and Porter, of Charleston, represent ono party, and McCrady and Miles, of Charlcaton, and W. H. Tros cott, of Pendletou, the other. It in? volves some $70,000, and baa been in tho State Court for near twenty years. It now appears for tho first time iu tho United States Court, and will probably go up to tho Supremo Court of the United States, Tho pleadings so far have boon very able, and to-day Porter and Miles spenk. It is a very intricato and obscure oase, and involves much old and new law. It is a legal question al? together; tho Judge decides it, but the jury signs the verdiot. 810,000 have been raised in Andersou, by private subscription, to the Chicagj and Augusta Railroad. The Agricultural Retort for July. This monthly issue ot the Agricultural Department has been received, and dis? plays mnch care in the 'compilation of crop reports, particularly those relating to ootton. The total area in cotton in 1872, as estimated by this department, from the most accurate iuformation obtainable, was 3,500,000 acres. The returns for this year indicated an increase of about twelve per cent. The breadth planted was quito enough to tax to the utmost all available labor, uuder the most favor? able circumstaucee. But throughout the cotton States, for a period varying from twenty-five to thirty-five dayB, ac? cording co locality, and ending between the 20th aud UOth of June, tho weather was wet beyond precedent. Further? more, for reasons reported in June, tbo crop was generally from two to four weeks late. Tho largo area planted, tho lateness of the crop and the almost in? cessant rains, for weeks prevontiug work and stimulating tho growth of grass aud weeds, have combined to produce a de? mand for lubor which it is impossible to meet. A few reporters complain of the unre? liability or the laziness of tho frcedmen, but tho majority of those which refer tu the subject, givo them credit for doing better la;3 season than heretofore, and place the difficulty on the ground of a demand for work, which the laborers in this section, even with their best efforts, aro too few to meet. In consequence of this er.cc:;s of rain and luck of labor, weeds aud glass have been overshadow? ing the rotten plant iu every State and in almost every County reported. The area that for '.his season has been either abandoned outright or ploughed up and planted in corn, will probably nearly equal tho excess over last year's acreage. Tbo reports, with few exceptions, are denpondenf in tcne, and piqttire a some? what gloomy prospect. But they, doubt? less, are not fully exempt from the com? mon tendency to exaggerate tho bad effects upon crops of unpropitious wea? ther prevailing in the present, and to nuder-raie tha future chances of recu? peration from those effects. It would b.e safe to make some grains of allow? ance for this, transferring them from the discouraging to the hopeful side of the harvest prospect. Tho last days of Juno were generally favorable, and the condition was in many locations already beginning to assume a more promising aspect. Cotton worms, caterpillars and lieo had appeared in small numbers at sever::! points, but as yet had not done serious damage, The average condition cf tho cotton crop, exclusive of Virgi? nia, aud based upon the reports in the department, is S'J?. Newa ha? beeu received in Copcnha from the missing Swedish Arctic ex? pedition, "ander Professor Nordenskjold, which consisted of threo vessel?, tho Polhem, the Giadan and the Oitko! Adam. It will he remembered thai in the months of November and Decem? ber of last year news came that the members of thirj expedition, together with lh:crew.-; of six Norwegian seulars, numbering moro thau 100 men, had all been c.iugnt at Spitzbergen by the ice and were in danger of death from cold Riid starvation. The Albert was sent out by the Norwegian Governmeut to rescue, tho suflerora, if possible, but this vessel had to return last Christmas with broken engines and short of fuel. The Copenhagen correspondent of tho Lon? don Times now writes that tho Oakel Adam hau arrivod at Tromso, on the Northern coast of Norway, and reports the two other vessels all right at Moscl bay on June 20. Only two deaths had occurred among the crews. Professor Nordenskjold had traveled on foot with twelve followers, in Hay and June, from Mo36lb.ty round Parry and Ross Island, past tbo Nortb-eastmernmoat poiut of Spitzbergen, across lund, and by llen lcpen Sound back. As regards tbo Norwegian soalers, the BkTpper of a Tromso vessel has found eighteen of their number iu the Jeafjord, dead of soorbutia, and it is thought that none j of the rest of tho unfortunate crews survive. Scum Carolina University.?Tho United States Commissioner of Educa? tion, in his annual report for 1872, gives the following notice of the South Carolina University: "Tho University consists of ten dis? tinct and independent schools. Stu deuta are allowed a choice, provided tuoy outer at leo3fc three schools. This institution affords superior educational advantages. Too State appropriations for its support have been liberal; its lo? cution is central aud healthy, it* build? ings arc commodious, its library is the finest in tho South, and thero is a full corps of learned, efficient, faithful pro? fessors." The sanio report says: "There were 200,370 inhabitants of all races, over ten years of age, unable to write, of whom ?io* were foreigu born. This report shows a wondorful improvement, as it must bo remembered that the State contains 115.Oi l colored persons. Most of thf?sa, ten year3 ogo, wore, in law, chattels. Tho census for 18S0 will show a much higher per oent. of illiteracy among the whites thuu among the colored. A largo class of white people manifest no desire for edu? cation for themselves or ior thoir ohil dren." A Vicuna correspondent write: that several colored waiters, taken out by an enterprising American restaurant-keep? er, find themseivee, quito to their sur? prise, objects of unusual interest among the untruvoled Viennese, and particu? larly so to the femaio portion. They have received numerous invitations to dine out, and several of them were rc j cently invited to a public ball, where j they joined in tbo dance, to the evident ' delight of the American 2?^. * ? Highway Bobbebt im tub Rooky Mountains.?Speoial Agent Wickler, of the FoBt Office Department, reports from Bait Lake, July 31, that highway robbery on the maia routes in the Ropky Mountains is becoming quite frequent. On the 9th ultimo, robbers attacked the mail eoaoh on the Montana ronto, near Pleasant Valley, and took 919,000 in treasure from Wells, Fargo & Co.'a ex? press, bnt did not molest tho mails. The robbers have been arrested. A few days | lator, on the same ronte, near Snake Riv.er, the stage coach was fired into and the driver mortally wounded. The poor fellow had the nervo and presence of mind to put whip to his horses, by which all was saved but bis own life. He expired soon after ho reached the first station. On tho 2i!h ultimo, the mail coaoh on the Kelton and Boise ronte, near Snake Rivor, was attacked by robbers, and the through mail pouch from Boirfo to Kelton taken, and also Wells, Fargo & Co.'s treasure box. Agent Wickizor says bad men como to tho mines with the expectation ot mak? ing suddon fortunes, and, being disap? pointed, become reckless and desperate highwaymen. An Outlet fob tue West.?There is an almost universal opinion now pre? vailing at the North that th'-ro is to grow up somewhere on the Southern Atlautio coast a great commercial city. A3 yet, however, but few of the papers there have begun to predict its locality.. From tho many hints in regard to the coming emporium wo have lately seen, we tako tho following from a lato num? ber of Frank Loslie's Illustrated Neues: "A St. Louis journal boasts that five years hence, no railroad West ot* Cinciu uuti will think j. going to Pittoburg for iron, because St. Louis will build up a great iron trade of her own. It caunot bo a matter ol doubt that in twenty years there will bo four prominent lead? ing cities in America?Now York, St. Louis, San Francisco, and another somcwhore in the South." Upon this text, the Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel bases an excellent article: in favor of the claims of Port Royal ns the fitting terminus for the great Western Canal. The squabbles forth* guardianship of the holy places at Jerusalem, break out afresh at uhort intervals. On the 25th of April, a warfare commenced, which resulted iu the provisional closing of the Church of St. Helena to the Latins, Greek:: r.^d Albanians. The Latins wore I restricted tc the use of their clositor, ? while tho Gr-ieks were allowed preces? sions and rites. Ihe Grotto of the Na? tivity has to be guarded by Turkish sol? diers, and mass is celebrated in their presence, si>: sentinels being placed at the entrance r.ncl ia the interior. 100 soldiers L:;v;: been quartered in the Church of St. Helena, and the finer is covered with mattresses, while sabres and muskets am hung upon the walls. The riot and pillage of April 25th havo been attributed to the machinations of the French, Russians and German!*, of the ostensible chief protectors of tho holy places, but no redress has as yet j been obtoiced. Five Foolish Younu Belgians.? A very silly wager is reported by a Brussels journal. One of the numerous methods of indicting capitul punish? ment in China is that which deprives the condemned of sleep, and which gene? rally proves fatal after ten days. Five foolish young Belgians tried this experi? ment, the other day, with nioro or less unpleasant effects. They bet that they could remain awuke for seven days, on the coudition of resorting to every con? ceivable means for averting sleep. The manner in which they arranged their time was as follows: The night was passed iu dancing and drinking coffee; during the day, thoy rode horseback, shot or feuced, taking a cup of coffee every hulf hoar. One of the young men gained the wager, but lost twenty | tivo pounds of flesh; two went to sleep ! after having beeu up 130 hours; one was : seized with inllammation of the lung!*; j and the fifth was conquered by sleep on i horseback, fell off, and broke an arm. -... ' A New Raimioad Consolidation.? ! The Beaufort Republican states that nc J gotiations are ponding which promise to I result iu a now railroad combination. It is proposed to effect n consolidation of the Goorgia Railroad, the Savannah and Charleston lltilroad and the Port Royal Railroad, so that they will be operated as one road, under one management. This is to be uouo by the purchase of a controlling interest in the stock of tho Savannah and Charleston Railroad by the Georgia Railroad. This consolida? tion, says the Republican, will lead at no distant day, to a stiil more powerful and extonded combination, reaching from St. Louis to tho South Atlantic seaboard. It will probably include tho St. Louis and South eastern, or tuo Chattanooga, Nashville and North-western, tho West? ern and Atlantio ami thelrou Mountain. A Washington letter says: 'The im? pression, ami u false one, seems to have gained gronnd, particularly in the South, that the Government intended to ruako a wholesalo pardon of al' tho Ku Klux serving out sentences in the Albany Penitentiary. Tho policy will bo tho same as heretofore All cases recom? mended for pardon will bo considered by tho Attorney-General, and tuoso committed for tho less aggravating of? fences will have the benefit of a disposal prior to those whoso outrages wore more flagrant nud unjustifiable. Nono will bo pardoned who aro not recommended by citizens who know them to be proper subjects for executive clemency." I A lad, named Charles Courtenay, aon i j of tho late S. G. Courteuay, Esq., of .Charleston, was drowned in tho White Point bathing houf.e, on Saturday last, ; while taking a bath. Ti:c water was only three feet deep.

Howell Hays, tbe young man who killed Alexander Brown, in tbe "fork," on Friday last, has surrendered himself to Sheriff Dent. He olaims that the killing was done in self-defence; that Brown was a desperate character, against whom there aro several warrants of arrest for lawless acts. Brown had beat Hays unmercifully several days be? fore tbo fatal rencontre occurred. The sleeping car of the Wilmington, Columbia and Augusta Railroad, at? tached to the train of the Charlotte, Columbia aud Augusta Railroad, was thrown from tbo trestle at an early hour Sunday morning, near nambnrg, and two passengers injured.
