COLUMBIA, S. C. Saturday Morning, August 30,1873. Th< Kcd Uro??. At the Geneva Conference, held in lSGi, a treaty was proposed, that in all fatare warn, all military hospitals and ambulanaqg containing eiok or wounded patients should be considered to bo neu? tral, and protection guaranteed to all persons engaged in attendance on them; and that such protection should also be extended to private huases in which wounded men should be received. The red cross was adopted as the symbol of all plaoes and persons engaged in this enlightened effort, of. humanity. Tho admirable use of this treaty was exem? plified in tho late war between France v and Gsrsasny. AM the gcest European nations have adopted it; and now we see that the Shah of Persia has also agreed to it. There is one great nation, however, which 'will not adopt it. It affects to be foremost in humanity; foremost in the interests of the people, who are always the greatest sufferers in all wars?that nation is the United States. It not only will not agree that military hospitals and ambulances shall be neutral in war, but during tho late war between the Confederate aud the United States, a law was passed by the United States, making all medicines and surgical instruments "contraband of war," and, therofore, liable to forfeiture and seizure. Now, why is the United States an exception to all civilized na? tions, and more relentless in its war rpolicy than even half-civilized nations of Asia? That the United State has an intense interest and regard for neutrals, is ?certainly true. At tho late conference *at* Geneva, they entered into a treaty with Great Britain, so elaborate in its provisions on the subject of neutrality of nations, that although both of the contracting parties engaged to press vtipon other nations the rules they '\igreed on, neither of them has yet laid them before other nations; and the Go? vernment of Great Britain has virtually deolared that it will not do so on ac? count of the unwise and impracticable restrictions on neutrals. 8* it is dear that onr Radical rulers have had in full view all thtf relations of neutrality, and what should be, or should not be, "con? traband of war." And with all these subjects aud relations before them, there still stand the precedent and the practice of the late war, declaring all medioines and surgical instruments to be "contraband of war," and they will not embrace the treaty amongst other nations, guaranteeing neutrality to hospitals and ambulances. What are the reasons governing this course? Without going very far, two present themselves. In the first place, to adopt this treaty, would be a condemnation of the whule war policy of the United States pursued i towards the Confederate States. That policy, in refusing to exchange prison-' ere, is enough for their condemnation, independent of their effort to starve the whole population by destroying all the grain in the fields and in barns?burn? ing down tho barns and mills, cutting down the orehards and destroying the cattle. Short of the indiscriminate slaughter of prisonors iu cold blood, every rule or civilized warfaro was vio? lated by the United States. Now, here is a treaty, whioh proposes not only to leave medicine and surgical instruments free for importation for the use of armies?not only to exohanga prisoners ?but to make neutral aud protected all hospitals and ambnlauces, with all their attendants. To embruoe auch u treaty would be to condemn themselves. But there is anothor stronger reason which may govern tho policy of tho Radical Government in tho United States. They have been regularly waging a war by legislation against the Southern States, not loss cruel thau their war by the sword, ever since tho termination of the late war. They know what they have done, and are now doing! If they have not immediately before their eyes tho policy of Cromwoll towards irelaud, they have certainly, in no small degree, practiced it. Is that polioy to goad the Southern people into revolt, when un? prepared, and stripped of all the instru? mentalities of successful jusibtuuue? The oppression of Cromwell in Irolaud was not n tythe of the ruin thoy have spread over tho South. Knowing from experience tho spirit of tho Southern people, do they want unrostruoted, bar? barous power to meet it, should it be goaded to arise against them? Not only their former disregard of the laws of nations may bo enforced, but new devices of oppression and rain may bo adopted. Ouo of these cherished lead? ers, now a Senator in the Senate of the United States, said that the next time tho North invaded the South, they ? vould come with the rule and compass, to lay oat all the land forfeited to the conquerors. They would expel the Southern people from the country, and make it all their own. With auoh spe? culations and anticipations, why should they enter iuto treaties which extend mercy to prisoners, to the eiok or wounded in battle? The success of the anti-monopolist party is as astonishing as it is gratifying to those who are in earnest iu this great work of the people. This is no timo for idle talk, fefht a time for action. It is a question of how long the farmers shall continue to own the farms they have toiled so hard and long to secure. The monopolists have got them iu their power, and it is a question of slavery or freedom with them?n question of inde? pendent manhood or' servile depend? ence; and every man who expeots to act with them and become a member of their party of reform must give evidence of his sinoerity in a manuer that will forever bar him from boiug a political demagogue and trickster. The Late T. A. R. Nemo ?? ?The re? cent announcement of the death of Judge Nelson recalls to our mind a pus sage from one of his speeches iu 1SG7, which deserves to be remembered, word for word, by every person'iu the South. It is this: Let tho North remember (hat tLerc is a just Clod, who ruleth in the urmios of Heaven and upon earth, who governs nations as well us men; that Ho used the Assyrians ns instruments to punish the rebellious Jows; but wheu the Assyrians persecuted thorn from year to year, whva "they showed no mercy," wheu upon them they "laid very heavily their yoke," He raised up Cyrus to take Baby? lon, and punish the conquerors, who had been His instruments, most severe? ly. Let them remember that although the South is conquered and subjugated, helpless and powerless, bound hand aud foot, and bleeding at every poor; tbough her rich men have becomo poor men, and her great men huvo been humbled in the very dust; though her "servants arc now upon horses, und her princes are walking as eervauts upon tbe earth;" though famine broods over tho last mur? mur of complaint; though she has "drunken the dregs of the cup of trembling and wrung them out"?yet her shrieks of ugouy will go up tu Heaven, and, sooner or later, will be heard; and in some form, now hid from mortal ken, He "who forgetteth not the cry of the humble," will be her friend and her avenger. Tue Bond Decision.?We surrender tho most of our space this morning to tho full text of the opinion of the .Su? preme Court of the State ou tho Mor? ton, Bliss A Co. bonds. The suits are upon five bonds of 81,000 each, being one bond of five several diO'ereut classes. The bonds of all these classes amonut rn the aggregate to $3,099,000. The opinion seems to go the whole length of grantiug tbe Belief demanded. Technically, tho Comptroller id only or? dered to raise a sum suiliciuut tu pay od" tho past due interest of ^?.O?U of bonds. But the Comptroller will be likely to re? gard the decision us uu instruction to him to levy an uniouut sulhcieut to pay? off the interest on the whole $3,000,000. j After the dcxtorous rebuke administered by the Court to the Attorney-General, as the law oflieer of the Stute, it wiil re? quire a good deal of courage on the part of the Comptroller to wait for further orders. Tbe conrl holds not only tbut the Comptroller is bound ? to rniso the money, but that the Constitution requires the Troftsnrer to pay it out without any legislative act or authority. This lust is one of tho most extraordinary proposi? tions of this labored document, iu view of the fact that the Constitution it.-.ulf soys that no money shall be paid out of the Treasury "but in pursuance of ap? propriations made by law." YS'ns it ever heard of before, that u Constitution made appropriation.*.' Tho Constitution may direct how money may be gitbered iuto the Treasury, and to what specific purposes it :.ha)l be applied, but it is u novel idea to us, thai the money, wheu onco iu the Treasury, should bu taken out, i.iwfully, in any other way than by act or resolution of legislative authority, aud in any other shape than that techni? cally known as "appropriations." Tho case just decided is the one i:i which the tux-payers' counsel were re? fused u hearing. There i.-; another pro? ceeding pending in court, which chal? lenges the whole class of bonds known as tho "conversion bonds." What will 1)0 tho result iu this case, is iu tbe Lit.: bo of undiscovered things. It were a vain thing to prophesy. [Charleston 2?eics.

Au extraordinary display of violence was recently witnessed ou a passuuger train just out ado of St. Louis and bound for Kansas City.

Ahsenic as a Cotton Worm Db* stroyeb.?A planter of Lo wndes Connty, Ala., writes:.- r "I have destroyed the worm at a cost of forty cents per acre, by using two pounds of arsenic dissolved in- eighty gallons of water. I sprinkled the mix tare, with a common Catering pot, over an acre of cotton. In two days the worms disappeared. I tried the same quantity oi Paris greon with like results iu same manner, but prefer arsenic on account of its not being so much adul? terated, and also being so much cheaper; Paris green costing mo fifty five cents per pound and araonic twenty cents per pound in Mobile. Arsenio has been laid dowu here at 12J? cents per pound, from Now York, which would make the cost of saving an acre twenty-five cents. The sprinkling should be commenced as soon us tho miller or caterpillar fly makes its appearance in the cotton. .Some of us waited until tho worm came in force before beginning operations, aud the result is that the worm has eaten I thy crop up before we could get over it. Only a few plantors in this section have friod to kill the caterpillar, as they were skept.icul us to results, und unwilling to experiment at a cost of two dollars pur : acre. The result is, their crops are eaten i up.
