Sootry?mounted cm the milk-white oil. Around the central Agare grouped Peace, with the horn of plenty and her olive branch; Strength, in the Heron lean garb; Science, gray and bent be? neath the toil of years and the weary slavery of the lamp; Art, in the midst of her appliances, with easel and pa? lette, model and chisel around her, and the joy of a beauty never Been on land and sea lighting up her gaze. Supple? mentary to the generio tableau came in regular order the ohief notions of ' Europe, in the van of whom, and illustrated by all her nutional features, came Brittania, queen of the waves, with trident and coat of arms, posed grandly on. the deck of an antique galley, und surrounded by her children, Ireland, Wales and Scotland, in appro? priate oostnmeB. A gronp of delegates, appealing tho? roughly to tho feelings o*f^'Americans, next appeared. Broken columns, ruins of imperial ediflces/fay here and there in the herbage, jrranoe, la belle Franoe, stood ereot among these relics of past grandeur. Dressed in white, she wore the red oep'and long red clonk of tho republioj/and, whilst her left bind toaoheothe shield of national defence, her right bore the immortal tri-oolor flag. Behind this grand and striking figure rose three marble statues. They rested on lofty pedestals. They repre? sented the past glories und power of Franco. Tho central llgoro was the Im Eirial Charlemagne; on bin right sat La etit Caporal; on his left, the Grand Monarque, Louis XIV. Qermania reclines at ease upon tho bank of a miniature Ithine, whose calm of flow is faithfully and, under the cir? cumstances, almost miraculously repro? duced. The banks, the towers, the mills and castles, all stand out in very pretty and artistic effeot, while tho type of the majestic federation gazes frater? nally at his brethren and constituents? Germania, Tentonia, Allemande. Jtnasia cornea with the Czar upon his ihrone of absolute powor. On the right stands a priest of the Greek Church, and - on ? the left a Cossack soldier. In the foreground, crowding at the base of the throne, are two Rassian beats, and atill -farther to the -fore, shut out, as it were, from the group, sharing the sob jeotion. yet not the privileges, of the others, kneels the stricken form-of Po? land, a sad-eyed woman, from whoso glance all but supplication has been be? reft. Another beautiful allegory preseuts itself?Italy. The Pope sits onthroned, with the keys of St. Peter in his grasp. On the right stands a bishop?on tho left a monk; in front, with bowed head and trustful glance, a gaily-dressed Gon tadina, beside whom leans a swarthy, dark-browed brigand. Tho front of the tableau was occupied with baptismal fonts and cande'abras, emblems and suggestions of the church's power und magnifioenoe. The rugged embodiment of Scandinavia seemed to stand out in startling contrast, begirt as it was by representatives of the terrible and gloomy deities of Norselaud?Odin, the God of Gods, and Thor, the hurler of the thunderbolt. Here, too, were tho ValkhariaH, maids to Odin, passing oil of Ernheim to ibe wonnded heroes. Tho pioturo is from Walhalla, the diviue Aldeun of Scandinavian myth, where warriors retire after the battle, and are healed of their injuries by the trumpet call whiah summons them to feast. PaOY ja^o-r? mrn?!i ~'~t Sts?tUu" proudly on the stern of a Binking gal? leon; one hand upholding the royal emblem and the other clasping tho cap of her fading liberties. The vessel freighted with all the years of her wrongs, oppressions and pains, is half engulfed in the waters, which, seething up, half oovor one of tho Moorish race, the first to become extinct; while above, just out of the water's reach, sit a pea? sant man and girl of Grenada, in the costume of to-day, and full of its follies, playing upon the mandolin, heedless of *.he coming ruin. Asia cotnos astride a huge elephant; a brown, dark-haired woman, surrounded by oriental attendants. First in Asia, for all time, ia Turkey. Here wo see the Sultan and Sultana, seated on their divans, while the fair ladies of the harum sarronnd; one whiiingtbe tedium of the hour by a soft strain npon a guitar, while the hideous eunuch sits, a trusty guardian over all. In the front, a fairy garden plat, with shaded -walks, green trees and sparkling fountain, by the music of whiah a dancing girl disports, io all tho voluptuous attitude of her class. Arabia next, with one of tho celebrated Bedonin chiefs on tho tradi? tional charger of the desert. Around turn are grouped four Arab soldiers, with their turbans, cuftaus and sharp, St might spears. Upon a majestic car ii borno a very least of rats, puppies and mice, pro sided over by tho Emperor of Chiua himself, supported at the feast by two artillery Maudarlni, while the fumous Tom-Tom pays his devoirs to a "Gush? ing Clorinda," of the "Fanny Too Foo" school. Tho paintings on tho oar, the traces of Chinese artistio filagree work, the smile genii*!, "child-like and bland," are all happy and pleasing. Solemn, dignified and stately, the llujah of India sits in his chuir of state. On his right a priest, on bis left a Sepoy schlier, while a rice planter from the lower districts sits in front, shielding himself from tho sweltering sun by a sun shad* umbrella of bamboo. Persia, famous of all famous Eastern lands, in gorgeous splendor, comes next. Here the Shah sits enthroned amidst tho ladies of his court, where an attendant holds in front tho brilliant lined feathers of the peacock. Beyond this group, a gate, through whioh lies the road to Heaven, and which, bo fair within, tempts many to hope to entor. But tho path in dangerous, and tho fierce soldier sitting there boems to point with a chuckle at tho grinuiug .'-knlln of those who sought to enter and failed in the attempt. ? Africa, a female figure, mounted on a oamel,'and surrounded by tbe Kafir, tbe Hottentot, the Obarmer aud the Pro? phet, representatives of her tribes, comes into view. But a glance, the vision of a moment, and they also pass on. America was personated by a femule, seated in a ohuriot, drivon by un Iodiau princess, and drawn by fleet buffaloes over tho green prairies; uufolding tbo map of tho new world before her, sho finds fairer spots and sweeter solitudes, wherever hov swift steeds lead her. Chiaf umoug her daughters follows tbe United States?another fuir female, mounted ou an eagle iu full wiug. Around her are the offspring of Ameri? can ingeuuity? tue telegrupl ; a flg-ne iu gilt mail,,with wings of tne. light? ning;. a''steam* monster, with Uncle Sam's jolly faeo peering out of tbo tur 'rat; a steamship, guided by Fulton's uuerriug baud; und, lusstly, thut bale, jolly, heurty old soul, whom evorybody laughs at, jeors, admires and respects, "Old Probabilities," with bis telegraph, his barometer, umbrella uud signals. Next comes Brazil, while Mexico, mounted as a Faqcero ou his fleet steed, with hie lasso and sombrero, checks his steed in time to pauso, where Guiana flourishes amid tho luxuriant growth of her flowors and palm trees. In front, are tho West India Islands, Cuba aud her sisters, rising from tho warm waters of the tropic ocean, und teeming with beauties, gorgeous flowers and luscious fruits. What a change to Greenland, with ice and snow I Tho mujestio queen of tho Arctic Ocean sits on an ice-bound throne; around her the polar bear, the walrus and the Esquimaux, representa? tives of her frozen zone. The picture inspired a world of thought, which, fad? ing, left the pageant gone; darkness closing in around, and all who were for? tunate to possess tickets, hastening to? ward tho Varieties Theatre, to witness the tableaux and ball. The tableaux woro grand and impressive?made up from the scenes and characters repre? sented in tho procession. At the stroke of 12, the Mystio Krewe disappeared as mysteriously as they had appcurcd, leav? ing the theatre to tbe daucers und lookers-on. It is conceded that the Mystio Krewe on this occasion fur ex? ceeded any of their previous endeavors. Their efforts were rowarded with a con? tinuous round of applause. Tho con? ception of tho affair was truly wonder? ful. There wcro u number of other balls during tho night. Through tbo cour? tesy of Mr. G. D. Lymau, wo visited the "King's Own" Ball, given by tbe "J2d Lanoers, in Odd Fellows' Hall. There was a brilliant attendance, und the dancing wus kept up until a lato hour. Bex's Ball, at the Exposition building, was a gorgeous n flair?tbe rooms were olegautly decorated, aud tho King, in grand uttire, welcomed his numerous visitors. Wo visited several others? there being masquerudiug at all the thontres aud many other public places. About ? A. M., wo wended our way to the French Market, thence to tho Ou tbedral, where early muss was being celebrated, aud thouoe to breakfast. Tbero is but ono New Orleans on this coutiuent. There is a sameness, as a general thing, about largo cities?a mass of closely-built, sky-climbing buildings. Here everything is different, iiiuuti nticoto, iu? uuu&es, pruirmiitig balconies, eto. A horse-car is unknown; but the one-7/iK/e car, minus tho con? ductor, will carry you to evory part of tho city, at tbo low price uf fivu cents. To bury u dead body is tho exception? to pigeon-hole is tho rule. Sunday is tho great holiday. While tho church bells ure ringing?and the city is well supplied with suored editices?tho roll of tbo billiard uud teu-pin balls and tbe "ping" of the air-gun can bo constantly hoard. Many stores are open, balls are commou, und military companies fre? quently parade. Bo it remembered, however, thut the people of this Ameri? can-French-Spanish and peculiarly jolly old city only do publicly what is done privately iu many other places. Tho "shell road" to tbo lake is us popular now us during tho good old ante-bellum times, and dozens of vehicles, with fast horse;, are constantly to bo seen travel? ing rapidly to and fro. Those who oun possibly do so, bhouhl avail themselves of tho next Mardi Gras excursion. It is a trip which will not soon be forgot? ten. To an up-conutrymau, a sight of one of tho floating palaces which move on tho waters of tbe mighty Mississippi is alouo worth tho excursion, with tbo other attractions thrown in. S. Homestead Decision or Jcduu Cooku.?Iu tho case of Hall & Thomp? son, administrators, vs. Gray, Sheriff McGukin was ruled to show cause why ho hud not made tbe money on plain? tiff's-judgment. This was a test oaso to try the validity of the homestead Act, and the Sheriff answered tho rule, that, in view of tho penalty for selling the homestead, he had deolined to levy his execution on the property of defendant given him as a homestead. Tho wholo proceeding was simply a matter of form to bring tho case before tbo court, und Judge Cook announced his decision to bo, that, where judgement waB obtained before the passage of the homestead Act, the property was liable for the debt, but that no debts would bo col? lectable off of the homestead, unless so cured by a judgment or mortgago ob? tained or given before tho passage of the Act. Under this decision, no home? stead holds against judgments or mort? gages that dato auterior to tho 10th day of April, 18G8?tho date of tho adoption of the new Constitution, aud of tho Act in question.?Anderson Conservator.

COLUMBIA, S. C. Sunday Morning, February 22,1874. aici-ounntH and Planters, Wake Up to Yonr Inteiests. The recent action taken by the oity of Augusta for the repeal of certain privi? leges claimed by tho street railroad in that city, ha? bronght to light many things which tuoy be made useful by the merchants of pur city. Since tho completion of the railroad from Colum? bia connecting Uiturlott.o with Augestu, an extensive ami profitable businr >a has been carried to th"?smtter city. The Augusta lnercluuUi have botu very en lorpri&tug, uud bave built up u large and growing trado with t very little town along the line of the road. Nearly all tho colto.i raised Weit of Columbia goes lo Augushi, aud couscqueully the supplies for plautatiou or family Ute uro brought from there by those cotton planters. The people living ou that cud of tho .-oad raako frequent visits there for the purpose of transactiug business, while from Charlotte to Co? lumbia, including the former place, the local business is divided betwueu Co? lumbia and AnguBtu. The controversy that has been elicited by the action abovo referred to, estab? lishes tho fact that, during these years that the people of South Carolina have been pouring this profitable trade iuto tho lap of the Augusta merchants, that city has indirectly levied a tax upon every articlo of tnerchaucliso and every person going into or coming out of it. It is shown that after paBsiug the river, tho street railroad, under power granted by tho oity, collects the following tax or tribute from the freight and passengers: 15 cents per bale cotton, 3 cents per 100 pounds of freight, Si 80 per car loud of fertilizer, 10 coats on each passenger, und eighty oeids on each cord of wood. This amount is paid by tho owner of tho freight aud by tho passengers ou the trains. Cannot the business ineu of I Columbia lake steps to divert this trade and travel to our city? Our mcrcbauts should bo ns active as those of Augusta. Let every body along the liue ui tho road know what tax they pay yearly for the priv?cgo of trading in Augusta. Our business men can offer as great faci? lities us those of any other place. Let them show tho peo] !e of our own State that, iusteud of taxing them for coming to trado with us, we will offer Induce mould laat will repay them for the change. Columbia needs all the trado she cau get. If proper steps are taken now, and sufficient energy sboyvu, within the next year, the tide of local trade and travel will turn toward us. -4 ?*>?>.,. ..Negro Huiv in tin South." This is the heading to au editorial in the New York Times, which has given General surprise, Tho Times has of late been- looking into southern state affairs with evident interest, aud bus deigned to investigate points that in time not long past it was in the habit of disposing of more summarily aud gene? rally with a disposition towards iucro dulity as to Southern statements und a facility of trust in tho stories of ad? venturers and of the manufacturers of sjusatiou narratives for firing the North? ern heart. We have uodoubt tho Times has discovered that it has beeu often deluded, aud it now writes with a feel? ing of iudiguation which shows tho fact. The Times is aroused by tho wrongs in Buvcrni Southern Stales, and thus de? clares its horror of Iho governments where Iho negroes are in tho ascendant: "At a moment when the sad condition of uffairs ia Louisiana is attracting the attention of the. whole country, und when Mississippi lias elected a steam? boat porter to the United States Senate, only because his skin is black, tho pro? ceedings of the South Carolina Le? gislature are aiore soandalous than at any time sinco tbo clone of the war. No one can deny that somo of the mem? bers of the oolored race have displayed a rare capacity for public affairs. Yet, owiug to a combination of uufortuout? circumstances, the race has uot distin? guished itself favorably in the three Stutes we have moutioued. With Lou? isiana we have recently dealt at length, and wo neod not now refer to it more in detail. Mississippi is not in so bad a condition, and has not been plundered to the samo extent, but th? recent elec? tions prove that tho State can hopo for no substantial prosperity under its pre? sent control, It is, however, in South Carolina that nogro domination in affairs is most pronounced, and thero its evils uru mo it apparent. "If there were any doubt of the unfit nesu of the present rulers of tho State to hold the trust now roposed in them, they would bo wholly removed by tho perusal of a sketch of the proceedings of a recent suasion of tho Legislature which we print in uuothor column. Those who have hoped that matters were improving in South Carolina will bo sorely disappointed by this latest specimen of the temper which controls tho law-making powor of the State. There would bo littlo cause to complain that the mauners of the legislators are not better than in former years, if their morals had improved. But this, uu I happily, does not appeur to be the case. The Legislature, of South Carolina is apparently a gaug of tbieyc3, iutent only upon plundering the people whom it is supposed to serve. Long practice has made the Legislature of the State a perfected system of brigandage. Igno? rant negroes, transplanted from the cot? ton fields to tho hulls of the oapitol, where they have been drilled by unscru? pulous wbite udveuturers, have natu? rally madu a mockery of government aud bankrupted tbe State. It is not surprising tb\t suoh legislators, repre? senting constituencies debused byu long period of vassalage, and under such tatelage, should have displayed uu in? genuity in fraud which bus no parallel in history. . J?^. . "It is among the least of tbe deplora? ble consequences of negro supremacy in South Carolina that the credit of the ?Stiitu has been ulterly destroyed. The State debt has been increased over ISlU.OUU.OOO since the close of the wnr, and nothing has been secured in public improvements for this prodigal waste of tins public revenues. The bouds of tho Stalo are worthless, aud mutters have uow become so desperate that tbo rob burs who rule it uro forced to depend for their stealings upon tbo pittance of taxation which can still be wrung from an impoverished people. Public morals have been so debased that uny hope for purification from within the State can hardly bo entertained." The Times then proceeds with un effort to "uuloud" tbe Republican party of the enormous burthen of these abo? minations. First declaring that the Republicans arc not to blame, it next asserts that they were compelled to give the negro equality and tho ballot. There never was uuy euch necessity. Neither Gen. Grant nor Gen. Sherman dreamed uf it; nor did the Republican party in? tend it. Only after the eouuting of the negroes and the discovery of the advan? tage the Republicans might guin by their votes, was it determined to give them the ballot and the right to hold office. That act degraded Southern govern meats aud pluuged Southern States into ruin, und tho Republican party is responsible for that. Nor can the Times find excuse for that parly from tbo consequences, in the plea thai they were "the work of political ad? venturers, who have been always do uounced by the Republican party." First, these udveuturers were but tbe spawn of tbe Republican policy. Se? condly, they were neither disowned nor denounced authoritatively by the party, but were couatenauced aud sustained by it in tbe administrative and legislative departments. Indeed, wo may add, tho judicial also. Still further attempting to explain for tbe good of the party iu power un? der which these unparalleled ovils huVC been visited upon tbe South, the Times asserts that "iu most of the States no disastrous cousequeuoes have followed u measure demanded by justice and na? tional security"?/. e., the onfrnnchise 1' meut of tbo negro. There could be no grcatar mistake. Every Southern State \it%9 disastrously aoflered from it, Nos*r before tho conclusion of tho war was it hiuted that a bribe bad been accepted by a South Caroliua legislator?nay, it was never hinted that ono had been offered. For tbe purity of representa? tive meu was such that no mun dared to approach one of them with a dis? honorable proposal. All tho States where tkoro arc many negroes, whether they are iu the majority or not, suffer greatly by the troubled uffecting public administration in every way from tho 1 large incompetent vote which takes part iu elections. Tbe evils, therefore, are general, though more ruinous und hor? rible in somo States than iu other.-'. Rut it is cheering to sou that the Times, whatever it may offer by way of apology for tbo Republican putty, frankly owns that that party is nnder an obligation to "root out theso ovils" as fur as pos? sible. The Times says: "Rut it is tho duty of tho Republican party to root out these ovils so far as it can. That it oun suddenly eradicate them is uot probable, but by tbo infiu onco of public sentiment, und of tho Federal Government, much cun bo done to mitigate them. * * * Those misguided freedmon must bo convinced that public affairs must uot bo managed solely for pillage and oppression. This is the last great task of reconstruction, and it cannot bo shirked without endan? gering the safety of tho party." Indeed, it is a "great task." It is ono demanded for the safety of society as much as for that of the Republican party. And now lot us sco what thut party is going to do with this "great task." ?.? ?^ - PnoouESS.?The latest evidence of a Qual rupture botween Gou.

Tue State Grange.? It is said that tbe grangers, at their recent meeting, discussed numerous matters of great in? terest to the agricultural people of the State. They are united in interests, and what has been found good for the welfare of one section of the State has been agreeable to tbe wholo. One of the tenets to which the grange clings with pertinacity is, that farmers can (prosper only by "paying as they go." It ia understood that a central bureau has been determined upon, tobe located in this city, which will go into operation immediately. At this depot arrange? ments will be mtde with wholesale mer ohantB and manufacturers to purchase at wholesale prices, and goods ordered j through it will be shipped from first hands direct to the purchasers, The grange contribnted-$l,000for the estab? lishment of an immigration bureau at ?Charleston, under the direction of Maj. P. Molchers, State Commissioner of Immigration. Thomas Taylor is Worthy Master of the Grange; D. W. Aiken, Secretary; A. M. Aiken, Treasurer, and Dr. J. A. Barksdale, Grand Lecturer. ' Granger's BesotiTS.?8,000 granges a ..of the Patrons of Husbandry were or-1 gauized last year, according to the Sec/ , retary of the National Grange. Tkoj Treasurer reported $50,000 to be ou I baud. Iu the report of the executive , committee co-operation is warmly com J mended, and the members of the order are declared to have saved $8,000,000 .j last year, by co-operative stores, agen? cies 'and grain elevators. Anything jlike waging war on the railroads of the country is discountenanced in these re? ports, as there interests aro one with jthose of the farmers. I The platform of tbe National Grangers 'bos a genuine, earnest and honest ring, which sounds pleasantly on the ear in these days of political fraud and ^party i claptrap. If the grangers will remain true to the objects they avow and the i principles they enunciate, especially if Jthey will adhere firmly and sincerely to i their expressed determination not to al? low politics to enter into their organi? zation, they will accomplish all they de? sire for themselves and do much good ifor tbe whole country. j Beljgiods Services This Dat.?St. I Peter's (Catholic) Church?Rev.
