Ban day Mor nin g,< Octo ber 12,1873. The zig-zagjoourso and sudden darsb to earth of the Graphic balloon is bat a ?iiOUm?tauuo ;a coisparigou with the tortuous wbirlinge of our neighbor, the Union-Herald, on the bonded debt ques? tion, and its rapid desoent to the deep eat depths of RAtSioal Immorality, in its last utterances on that grave subject. ItfleW high In thri fir. circling g'orio".* ly towards the eun, and made the wel? kin ring with' its so reams, of denunoia tion of Morton, BUsa "?^Op.'s olaims. Men looked With surprise^t ite unex? pected, demonstrative and noisy re proaohee and rebukes of the profligate crew who had cheated the poor people? the dear and humble people who sweat in fields behind the plow, and holding the hoe. and spade in their hard and aweaty h^nds?out of their email but honest earnings, and eaddled upon thair toil and that of their descendants for generations to come an intolerable load of spurious debt. (.Distrust of the sin? cerity of all this indignation, all this palaver which flowed in copious streams for several months, end frothed up and down in the column oonduits of the Herald, was freely expressed by some unbelieving skeptics. Even we, mild and gentle as we always are to our con? temporary, were constrained to charac? terize the display as theatrical. Like the bally in the "Georgia Scenes," the Herald was only rehearsing, and "seeiu* how it could a font." We aro grieved to say thai; our forebodings wore true. The Herald shrinks from the last round. It retires to its oorner, or its "ring." "AIm! Matilda then was true, At least I thou cht so (7) at the U-" nion-Herald. If it went high, it has come down low. In its issue of yesterday morning, it aays that the Legislature has been called ' to arrange some compromise with the public creditors. The responsibility for ''the debt, it of course saddles upon the Democrat*. The Radical Government ? Contracted it, but, Bomohow or other, ? the Democrats are the fellows to blame. ? It was the jaundiced opinion mauufse? ctored by them abroad whioh produced the monetary embarrassments, and be? trayed the poor innocent Radical officials to do wrong in re-issuing bonds, in hypothecating the Agricultural Col? lege land scrip, aud in other similar operations. They stole just to spite the Democrats, who,, "hadn't onghter" to have dealt out to them each "unmea? sured scorn aud contempt." We are used to this sort of talk. It does not hurt. It is not meant to be believed, except in circles where anything will pass current, and where counters are ?s good a* coins. It appears a new light has shone round about the Herald, which enables it to see the error of its ways. It is ready to condone the cnuiei of the "bad and irre? sponsible ineuV pi Uta party, for party's sake. Whatever .it advocated in the spring and summer, it repudiates now iu tbe harvest days. It holds it to be imperajiy^tnat the money borrowed, with proper interest, should be honestly returned. It must be honestly returned, whether honestly borrowed or not. The whole plan and reason for doing this are revealed in tbe following passage from tbe Herald; ? "Whatever legal defeot there may be in the issaejor hypothecation of certain bonds, it is urged by some, with much to?nd-sense, that a plan should be de? vised to pay those parties back their money, with interest, who lehfc it in good faith to help sustain a Republican administra? tion and educate the emancipated chil-1 dreu of the State. It would be political suicide, slabbing our parly in the back, to repudiate one' dollar of this debtor these claims. If the oreditor is willing to1 take a fair compromise, we should meet him half way, and as he helped us in our hour of need, when the Democrats, the so-called tax-payers, were laughing and sneering at us, denouncing our cre? dit and doing their best to destroy us, we should be true to him, and pay him back fairly, honorably and squarely, whatever is due him?principal und in? terest." , What a position for a party or a jour? nal to take I There is no reasoning with it. It is impregnable. The party of moral ideas mast,' at all hazards, be saved from committing auioide. Moral ideas must be thrown overboard, to save the lifo of the party. Honesty would kill it dead. If it seek to pro? tect the people and tax-payers, if it re? ject those olaims known to be fraudu? lent, if it attempt to pry into those to whioh the shadow of suspicion attaches, (see platform,) it will be suspeoted of honesty. This it cannot boat-. The old aaying of "Give a dog a bad name, and you might as well hang him," is re? versed in this instance. It is a good name whioh is dangerous to the party. 1 0 temporal 0 Moses/ O Herald/ The total vote of Fairfiold for Senatoi iMStf, 6i aioh Martin's majority was 910. Discovery of Amarlcm. As oar readers may not rejnember it, we will inform tfcwn thatvlo-d?j (?o\o ber 12) is the anniversary of thediscovery of America by Christopher Columbus. 381 years ago, to day, tbe world-seeking Genoese first set foot on 'the shores of the new world. The story of the con? ception in hiB mind of a new land, or an oatjatting portion of the Asiatio conti? nent, his earnest brooding over it and perseverance against all discouragements in testing it, arc told with all tbe interest S?d grace of sty Ig v. h.ch W-shingtoc Irving so fully commanded. In the proseoation of his purpose, be adapted his argnments to the comprehension of his hearers, nsing small as great, simple illustrations as well as abstruae calcula? tions. He argued that wherover there was sea, there must be earth both to cor? respond to it and to bound it. It could not extend indefinitely. Earth was not only beneath the waters, but must eonss where appear upon the aorfaca in continents and islands, as a just and ne? cessary equipoise. Meeting disappoint? ment everywhere else, he finally enlisted the interest of Ferdinand and Isabella of Spain, and, after doe preparations, boldly sailed away over ' .0 trackless ooean. The voyage was not very long, but his crew became dissatisfied at the hopeless prospect. But bo managed to quiet their apprehensions and to inspire them with his own hopes. They were cheered as it became certasa that they were approaching land, of wbich proofs of floating timber, weeds, birds, &c., were presented to their eyes. The green shores of the Bahamas at last rose to view, aud "that great antiquity," America, was discovered, or re-disco? vered, as the case may have been. It was a grand day in the world's history, a discovery whose coosequences are be? yond the powers of calculation to count or imagination to conjecture. Below, we copy some thoughts appropriate to them from the Courier Journal: "Whether it be true or not, that tbe anoient Norsemen visited this country in the eleventh century, or that the cele? brated Welsh Prince, Madoc, landed with a small fleet in Virginia, 100 years or so afterwards, the claims of Colum? bus are in no manner afferited thereby. He philosophically reasoned out for him? self the existence of land at the point toward wbich he sailed, and trusted him? self in a crazy craft, to the wild waves of an uncharted ooean, with the strong faith of a great moral hero. The diffi? culties whioh he encountered and over? came, add to the greatness of the enter? prise, and as we now oan Bee it, to the reputation of the man. Obstacles pre? sented by prejudice and superstition were even greater than those of a strictly material character. Bat he rose triumphant over all, and gave to the old world an unknown, yet twin-sister, born at the same obaotio birth, laved by the same multitudinous waters and fanned by the same far-reaobing gales. It is meet that such a discovery aud such a day should be fitly commemorated* Ere the lapse of four couturiea from the 12th of Ootober, 1-192, when Columbus first set foot on tbe soil of San S alvador, the laud which he discovered has become the Land of Promise to the very ends of earth. In its rapidly increasing population aud the development of re? sources, it baa outstripped the most san? guine dreams of even tbe sanguine Co? lumbus, giving a material verification to j the Master's assertion: 'The last shall I be first.' Tbe new world has become the peer of the old iu civilization, and Ims far outstripped her in all those ele? ments of material advancement which make life enjoyable. To Columbus and his discovery all this is due. Before the next century wunes, tho tides of popu? lation, setting in from the fur Eist and the far West as they now do, will make North and South America, with tboir ad? jacent isles, not only the most populous, bat the most prosperous and powerful of the great divisions of the globe." --<-? - "A lilllle Learning Is a Dangt 1 ,hih Tiling." The Union-Herald, of Friday last, has treated its readers to a learned (?) essay on Westminster Abbey, iu tuo course of which we are informed that it is the last resting-place of Wellington, Shaksjpeare aud Milton. We hud supposed, uutil wo read this recondite article, that Wel? lington was buried in St. Paul's, that Shakspearo still slept ut Stratford-ou Avoo, protected by bis famous anathema, "Curs'd be be who moves my bones," and that Milton's remains rested in peace iu the humble church of St. Giles Cripplegate. But tbe Herald, true to its name and vocation, announces some? thing new aud radical. It disturbs tbe dead no less than the living. By way of justification, it may say, as a charac? ter iu Molieru does, who unluckily lo? cated tbe heart on tbo right side, "We haveobanged all that." lUdioalI radi? oall to the back-bone. Earthquakes.?A violent earthquake occurred in Darmstadt, Germany, on Tuesday last, oaosinc great terror among the inhabitants, shaking theoity greatly and doing ooneideruble damage. This shows that the earth is getting feverish again, and now wo fear tbat next the city cf Paris will be greatly shaken, for tbe signs of a coming earthquake in that quarter are iu tho air. -???:-1 Iterate to Tafcii. Their Owa Tbe action of tbe' Board of Trustees oifthe Sohth^Carolinn tfnlversity^ on Friday, demands a word at oar bands. Had they eimply aooepted the resigna? tions of 'Dra. Talley, Qibbes and La Berde, we Bhonld have had nothing to oomplaia of. Bat they have accompa? nied the acceptance with a statement of satisfaction that tho professors have withdrawn. They "cannot regret," they Bay, "that a spirit so hostile," See., "will no longer bo represented in the University." This comment spc" re? signations is unheard of iu the history of the College, and, were there nothing else to show it, demonstrates the degra? dation to whioh the institution is tend? ing. The imputation and the sin is that the professors resigned on acoount of tbe admission of Seoretry Hayne as a medi? cal student. How the action of the pro? fessors ought to be considered, will ap? pear more clearly in the light of one or two facts which we find it profitable to recall, and-which wo commend to tbe consideration of tbe board. This is not the first of Hay ne'e feats iu this way. Being almost white, aud yet rep? resenting the blaok race, he is a good wedge to opeu the way for it into new places. A few years ago, he appeared, one bright Sunday corning, at tbe com? munion table of Christ Church, tho pulpit of which wus occupied by Rot. Mr. Babbitt, and the members of which were principally Northern peoplo resi? dent horc and a few natives who parti? cularly sympathised with thorn. Upon tbe approach of Hayne, a member with? drew, a hubbub ensued, aud the Mission 'Church of Mr. Babbitt went inconti? nently to pieces. No more services were held in it. The Northern people who composed tho oougregatiou would go no more. They would not woisbip in the same building or commune at tbo same table with Hayne. Mr. Babbitt himself described the break-up iu most unloyal language: 'The fact is, as we say up North, tbore was a negro in the wood-pile." Mr. Babbitt is u shiuiog light now?not in Christ Church, but in Ahe College. Ho has much satisfaction in welcoming Hayne to membership iu its society, whom he failed to protect at tbo communion table from the in? sults of his own oouotrymen. What think you of that, Messieurs Trustees? And what do you think of Mr. Babbitt, who caved in so ingloriously on the ne? gro question, at a time and under cir? cumstances when courage aud prinoiple were demanded. The negro is strong now, and so is Mr. Babbitt; but it would have been considered more manly anywhere else than in the Radical party, to have stood boldly by his black bro? ther, when he more needed recognition and support. Again. We have it upon the host authority, that a considerable namber of Northern residents here?new and old comers?intended to send their sous to tbe College, if it had not taken tho unfortunate turn it has. Now that the forerunner of a black invasion has gone in, they havo abandoned that intention. They were willing to entrust their sons to Messrs. Barnwell, Rivers, La Borde, Faber, &c, upon the prospect of only white students attending, but are posi? tively determiued to withdraw them from their successors and their allioB, with tho expected irruption of colored students. Such a disregard of "the welfare of tbe State, as well as of tbo dictates of justice aud tbo claims of our common humanity," such an unwilling? ness to stand by the colorod man and take him cordially by tbo band, on tho part of those Northum people, shows u lamentable inconsistency butweon pro? fession and practice. Will the Board of Trustees think on these things? .-??-? Iu view of tbe approaching crisis and tho dark outlook for Republicanism in France, the French Republicans appeal to tho sympathies of Americans, and ask that clubs aud public meetings be organized in behalf of their oause. Ah, Messieurs, we oau't attend to tho sort of Republicanism wo havo horc. A Decided Turn 01? the Screw.?Tbo farmers of Montgomery County, iu Ala? bama, have been pretty well used up by cotton planting, duriug tbe past fow years, juit as the Montgomery mer? chants were tremendously floored by speculating in futures, last season. So bad is tbe situation that they have boon constrained to call u meeting of tbe fra? ternity, in order to devise wuys and means of confronting a diro calamity. By an almost exoluslve devotion to cot? ton planting, we presnmo, coupled with fatal seasons, these Alabama farmers have found themselves on tho verge of ruin. Tbo remedy suggested by the local press is tbo true oue, in tbe main, and that is, to abandon tbe insanity of wholesale cotton planting, and strivo to niuko something to eat. The planter of cotton, who has no capital and attempts to make his crop by borrowing, who shows uo prudenoe in proouriug ad? vances, and vory little in putting all of his eggs in one banket, is a doomed man from tbe start, # BP a ! ?

Lent, will exhibit in Columbia, aud tue event will be hailed with pleasure on all sides. Of the many entertainments of this character that have been put oe fore the people, Lent's show takes the lead from all in two very important re? spects, t. <?., the magnificence of its paraphernalia and the attention to de tails that characterizes its eaoh and every exhibition. Mr. Lent would rather give no show ut all than present an exhibition that should be marked by a display of rowdyism on the part of tho* performers and other attaobees, such as is too commonly tbe case with many shov?s. He aims to elevate tbe standard of arenic entertainments by preaeutiug only such attractions as are strictly first-class in character; and he also desires to make his exhibitions at? tractive to tbe better class of people by having them conducted, in every de? partment, in a manner that would re? flect credit upon the manager of the most respectable theatre. Mr. Lont's ideaB, in this regard, are very well known, and, from the notices of his show? highly complimentary in charac? ter?which we have seen in Northern papers and the papers of Virginia and North Carolina, we feol assured that he ploaseB wherever be goes. His circus proper is tbe same that for aeven suo cesBivo winters held sway over the hearts and pocket-books of tbe good people of Gotham, at tho iron, building on Four? teenth street. Tho burning of this structure iu December last has com? pelled the popular manager to keop to the road louger than usual, and it is tbis necessity that brings him among the Southern people, coupled with a strong desire to show tbem what is meant by a "first-class circus." The menagerie department of this great show contains a long list of boasts, birds and reptiles of the rarest varieties. They are, one and all, spleudid specimens of their kind, and tbis branch of the show wins the most lavish approbation from nil who witness it. Remember it is on Wednesday, tbo 15th, that this show exhibits in Columbia. Laconics for thb Ladies.?The la dieR love goats, but only those of the Reding breed. It is said that Miss Anthony always conoludos her prayers with "Amen and women." A lady wishes to know why, since the invention of noodle-guns, women can't fight as well as men. An absent-minded man kissed his pet kittou and slapped his wife. The mice in that house have had a good time ever since. "She died of a corset," is the inscrip? tion on a tombstone iu Steuday, Prus? sia. A woman at our elbow says she probably died cor*-stcoaldn't bo helped. Sallie Fay, of Elmira, Ohio, is learn? ing tbe carperter's trade, and it is said that every youug man in that locality is anxious to become a carpenter and join her. The Now York courts rule that when a man fifty years old, a cburoh member, hugs and kisses a maiden of forty, such conduct may be considered a promise of marriage. N.
