Sunday Morning. November B. 1873. Tbt Mania! dec of tbn lie-sot ?u-ci? Wo have forebqrnfc to allude to .the election! in the several States until fall returns were received, to confirm the impression of the signal change that has taken plaoe in politioal sentiment. This may fairly be inferred from the. de spatohea and other reports which have come to hand. In Virginia, Hamper's majority is put down at not less than 20,000, a gain of 4,000 over the vote for Walker. Maryland romainB firmly in possession of the Conservatives by an equally decisive vote. The Republican majority in New Jersey has been consi? derably reduced, it only boing twelve on joint ballot. New York was carried last ] year for the Republicans by more than 50,000. Now the tables are tamed com-1 pietely, and the Democratic majority, eeoared in the face of an active opposi? tion, is placed at more thau 14,000. Massachusetts has re-eleoted Wash-! borne, but by bo small a majority'that it is'thought if the Democrats had put forward a strong, popular candidate, he would have bean chosen. When we [ look to the great North-western States, the results are even more startling. In Kansas, the farmers voted against the I Republicans, and the vote Btands in the Houso?Opposition 61, Republican 26. This assures the Opposition majority on joint ballot, und secures a Conservative Senator for Oaldwell's unexplrod term. From Minnesota the returns steadily show a serious decrease in the Republi? can vote, and a great falling off in the Republican majority in the Legislature, especially in the Senate. The same thing is true of Wisconsin, where for the first time in many years a Democrat? ic Governor has been elected, and where Demooratio snooess is a novelty, nothing of the sort having occurred in that State before sinee 1855. ? The small Radioal majorities in theso two last mentioned States are no longer formidable. In Il? linois, Important changes have taken place, and the farmers seem ahead of both Domoorata and Republicans. The astounding change, which tho eleotion of Allen in Ohio, iu October, indioated, was considered by some as ac . oidontal, without political significance. So warn tha Democratic gain in Penn? sylvania, the decrease of the overwhelm? ing Radical majority in Iowa, and simi? lar losses in Oregon. But this view ia not borne out by the more recent suc? cesses reported all over the country, and all Showing the drift of public sentiment to bo in the same general direotion. It j looks now as if tbe Ohio election was but the beginning of a revelation which will swamp the entire country. Tho de? parture inagarated in that State by Val landigbam, in 1871, ripened into the Liberal Republican movement of 1872. This was the conclusion reached aftpr much discussion aad some wholesome experienoe. It has taken'away from tb*| Republicans p *r all ground for agi? tation, in refer ,e ..j the principles of universal liberty , and oivil and politioal equality, as established in tho constitu? tion, from the results of the late war. As soon, it appears, as these old issues were taken from under them, and they could oling no longer to the past, but must stand upon their own merits, they commenced to go down. These decisive results prove the growing unpopularity of the Rtpublioau party, and its loss of the publio confidence. Credit Mobilior operations, back salary grabs, reckless expenditures and lavish appropriations, tho general demoralization among offi? cials und politicians, the greed of power and gold amongst them, the gross and unpardonable injuries to the rights of States, the cruel wrong and ungenerous insults to Louisiana, all are coming np in formidable judgment. The financial crisis which, it was pretended, would overwhelm the country, if Oreeley was elected Pr?sident and the Liberal Re? publicans and Democrats plaoed in power, has come with a vengsanoo on those who predicted it. If the cry of merely predicted finanoial ruin was so potent against them, as virtually to de? cide the contest, what ought to bu the effect npon those whose lack of princi? ple and of skill equally, has provoked it, of the actual storm, of financial convul? sion, 'universal confusion, and wide spreading' distress, covering tho land like a plague? Radical, rampant Rtdi canism will soon be among thu things that wore. Its old utook in lrade, con? sisting of old issaws, prejudices and bit? terness, is 'exhausted; .and, viewed now with reference to its conduct, it stands a gnitty, condemned and disgracoJ thing before the American people. The ele? ments of a powerful opposition to it are fast orystalizing into a solid, compact and resistless organization. Wo learn that considerable cont-tcrnation prevuils in Washington. They talk of this being uu off-year iu pol'tics, but the evideroes that the reverses are extremely disagree? able, ^jk^^Wi?!?W ?very wbere^Hereto Sou?h Carolina, we Bee shaJffiig of ?n?s,?fid a fearful looking; fqj^aSrd to) the;* ? judgnentrto oome. - well may they tremble, who, have ao long domineered over this de fenceless State. Th* Kvlis or Intemperance. A memorial is in oiroalation in Savan? nah, and will be presented to tbe Geor? gia Legislature, when it meets in Janu? ary, asking of it suob legislation as may tend to check and diminish the sore vice and disease of drunkenness.' It is not expected that the evil oan be wholly eradicated, but it is hoped that it may be materially reduocd by wise laws. This is the monster orime and wicked? ness of the times. Bad as are tbe con? sequences of bad government, and tbe dishonesty of officials, the evil effects of intemperance surpass them in number j and enormity. They take efl'eot muinly on the most helpless and dependent' portion of society?on tender children and defenceless women. Something to restrain and regulate this dangerous ap? petite ought to be resorted to, but it is not easy to eradicate it. Sumptuary laws are odious in themselves, and the i experienoe of those Northern States, Maine, Massachusetts and others, where they are in force, does not recommend them to our adoption. At tbe same time the injuries to society and families, the degradation in many oaseB of genius and learning, and tho blight and over? throw, through this wretched habit of indulgence in alcoholio stimulauts, of character, standing and usefuluess, are sad results to contemplate?are evils which loudly call for remedy. Our va? rious temperance organizations, which have for their object the restraint of this vile habit, are engaged in a heavenly work, and should be encouraged to per? severe, and every good oitizen ought to aet his face like flint against the odious indulgence, which too often blasts man? hood, and makes the homo whore gentle women, "God's last best gift to man," and her innocent little ones should dwell in sweet eecarity, a very hell ou earth. Indeed, it too ofteu robs tbom of borne comforts entirely. Tbe responsibility whioh tbe habitual drunkard incurs is frightful. We pity the man who deliberately forfeits God's blessing and man's approval, in subject? ing himself aud all in any way depend? ent on him to the tortures which must follow, when this vioe has completely mastered him. "How great a virtue is temperance,"cuys Milton, "bow much of moment through the whole life of man? Yst God commits tho managing so greut a trust, without particular law or pre? scription, wholly to tbe demeanor of every grown mao." But if grown men should rightly appreciate tbe solomnity of tbe trusts committed to tbem, and justly consider the dignity of their being, intemperance and its horrors would ra? pidly diminish. We copy below, from tbe Savannah memorial, some interesting extracts. They furnish food for thought. The scheme of legislation is not ono that wo can wholly approve. But of one thing wo are confident. There is no evil so great that there may not be found some corrective or remedy for it. Tho ques? tion should be pondered how to apply this most effectively in tbo matter be? fore us. It is worthy of tbe best efforts of tho highest minds: "At present, tho wholesale system of lieen.se to sell liquor permits tbo invita? tion to indulge in the refreshment of stimulants so liberally that even the strong-willed man caunot always resist it, and to which tho woak and ignorant readily ucoode. Tboglitteriugattraotions of bar-rooms, with tho seductive induce? ments to indulge, meet tho eye and tempt the palate in numbers along our thoroughfares. How can weak human nature resist tbe temptation so oommpn ly presented to it? Is not tbo State, professing to be Christian, bound to guard tbe morals and tbe health of tho people, and to protect posterity from tbe injurious results of vioious solfin dulgence? ''The calendar of crime?murder, manslaughter, assault, robbery, publio wrongs and domestic infelicity?is based upan the influence of whiskey and other alcoholic beverages; aud is not the State boyod, morally and materially, to shield her children from such degradations aud from their fatal and ruinous conse? quences? Aro tbe mothers, daughters, sisters aud wives of our city to bo ailiioted as tbey ore, with no help from tbe dire distress that tho iuiompuranco of fathers, sous, brother** and husbands is now daily bringing upon tbem? With uo voice in tho government by which they might protect themselves, yol daughters of the State, are tbey to' bo utterly helpluua in their misery? Is their moral force to remain unaided by the power that owes to tbem especially support and oomfort? Their appeal alone should be regarded, if tho demand of duty to tbe welfare of tbo State bo uot considered." 1 In the United States District Court, Charleston, on tho 7th, L. L. Packard, of York, was fldhlly discharged {a bank? ruptcy. - "?-rr Tt?- Bill? R?e?iy*^!e, ? * Columbia, ?. pr^orem^ic? 1873. J Ewtob ph<Bir?: HevWal days ago, tho ?O?Uiabia ?rresp?n?ss* ??? ;*he and Courier reported ras as saying that, ander the Aot of December, 1865, authority was given the State Treasurer to issue 8500,000 of bills receivable'; that only $300,000 were issued, and that the power to issue the remaining 8200, 000 was one which I might exercise at any time, should an emergenoy therefor arise. - " In your issue of Friday last, there ap? pears a tetter from ex Treasurer Hood, which states, in effeot, that the Orr ad? ministration issued 8222,000 of said bills, and turned over to Mr. Parker 8168,000 of said bills, unsigned. In your issue of this date, there appears a letter from ex-Treasurer Parker, con? firming Mr. Hood'd statements, aud affirming that, before retiring from tho office, he canceled said bills, which wore on hand unsigned. This statement is also confirmed by Mr. Little, late book? keeper of the treasury. All of these statements of the ox Treasurers appear to have been pub? lished for the purpose of confuting mv statement that 8200,000 of said hill's wero never issued. Now, what are the facts? Ex-Treasurer Hood, in his last report, stated that 8222,000 of bills re? ceivable had been signed, clipped and carried to cash?wbioh statement is veri? fied by his books. Tho books also show that $78,000 wero signed and carried to cash by ex-Treasurer Parker, making a total of $300.000. In tho Governor's messago to the spe? cial session of the General Assembly, the following language is usod: "13y the Aot of December, 1865, authority was given to the Treasurer and Comptroller General to issue $500,000 of bills re? ceivable. These officers found that it was not necessary to print more than was embraced in the first contract with the engravers, to wit: $300,000. Of this sum, only $222,000 have been signod j und carried to cash in the treasury." j Upon examination of tho vouchers in the vaults of tho treasury, I find the unsigned bills referred to by Messrs. Hood and Parker. Evidently, there? fore, Gov. Orr's statement is erroneous. Nevertheless, it is a fact, wbioh no one will question, that authority was given to issue $500,000 of bills receivable; that onlg $300,000 were issued, aud that the Act authorizing the issue of the whole amount of $500,000 has never been repealed. In conclusion, I never had, nor have I now, any intention to exercise the power conferred upon mo by that Act, unless expressly requested by the Gene? ral Assembly. F. L.

Speaking of a performance of this play, an exchange, says: "The performance of the 'Hidden Hand,'a sensational drama, founded on ouo of tho novels of Mrs. Southworth, kept tho house iu a continual roar of delighted applause. Tho drama itself consisted of n series of lively situations, calculated to produce frequent transi? tions and must startling effects. The acting was very good. As usual, Mrs. Watkins was piquant, lively, brisk, gracefully at home, and made all her points with ease and natural effeot. It cost her but little effort to make herself a favorite. "Decidedly, Mr. Watkins' forte is character acting. His Irishmen and his negroes are all strongly individualised, and no two of them are alike- His Wool is a different negro from his Jocko, as iudividnals, yet they bear the family resemblance of the race. This, wo tako it, is tho highest praise we can bestow npon Mr. Watkins as an artist, and tho actor who can thus oause you to recognize tbo mental and constitu? tional differences between individuals of a race, deserves to hold an honorable placo iu the ranks of his profession."

The reading of that cleverly prepared con? fession of State insolvency was too muoh for tbe motley crowd of negroes and carpet-baggers who now control the destiny of tbe State, aud an adjourn? ment for a few days was effected in order to induce a sober second thought. The worthy Solons are in a oondition to realize the condition of the State's credit from the fact of their own impecuni osity, tho receipt of their per diem al? lowance being a subject of anxious soli? citude to most of- tbem. Tbero is no money iu tbe treasury to pay them; it is useless to issue any more bonds, as tbey would not sell for ten conts on the dollar, and the boarding house and restaurant keepers at the State Capital positively refuse to trust their fepre sentatives a cent. Iu this condition of affairs the rumor finds ready belief that tho legislative recess is improved to ef? fect a timely bargain with New York I capitalists and speculators for any , spocial f ranohise or monopoly the latter may desire to buy. The legislators are I so desperately hard up that it is hinted j a comparatively email amount of green? backs would go far, and railroad charters of guafautocs of Stute bonds can be ob? tained mnoh cheaper than ever before. The Louiaville Courier Journal says: The people of South Carolina are anxious for the Government to estab? lish a navy yard at Port Royal, in that State, which is said to be admirably adapted to such a purpose. Of the ? scheme the Columbia Union-Herald says: "If such a measure could be car red through. Port Royal would soon be a most royal place to go on a fishing ex? cursion. It would bring $20,000,000 more into tho State, and $20,000,000 is a good thiug anywhere within reaoh." iduoh a sum certainly is a good thing to j have anywhere iu reach, but, if placed anywhere in reach of tbo men who now control tbo political affairs of Sooth Ca? rolina, tbero wouldn't bo fifteen cents left of it at tbo ond of six weeks.
