COLUMBIA, S..C. Sun lay Morning, March 8, 1874. tlavr Shall We Get HellerT Tbo suggestions which have been kindly made by tho Northern proas tonobing appropriate and effootivo re? medies for our unparalleled troubles/ while they tend to show bow deep the evil is, how it affects tho whole body of tbo American people, unfortunately fall short of the mark, and reaub not tbo core of the disease. As long as an ignorant population, schooled only in party taotics, and voting only for party and personal ends, predominates in such numbers as it docs here, nnder the ru!o of universal suffrage and nnder the guidance of thieving adventurers, there oun be no relief from evil, no csoapo from bad government. Tho stupendous wrong which results to ma? terial interests, to political tranquillity, to moral integrity and to tho advanoe of all true civilization, cannot be justly conceived, oan never be adequately known, by those who have not witnessed it. As it is the result of a most extra? ordinary combination of oircumstanaos, so it cannot be extirpated by ordinary causes. As we demonstrated yesterday, the system which ruins us und di6graoes republican government, is purely artifi? cial. Stolid ignorance, massed in un? reasoning leagues, and directed by adroit rascality, is its foundation. Tho property of a minority of the people is used to sustain it, and tho strong arm of military, power nphcUL it. There are, it will be soon, four faotors in this ugly resolt?-ignorance in voters, uubcrupu Iouhucjjs in managers, the proporty of the citizens paid as unwilling tribute, and tbo moral j-ower of the General Go? vernment^ represented by tho presence of its soldiers. If the United State3 Governmont would withdraw its garrisons, and vir? tually say to tba people, manage your affairs for yourselves.'wo believe that tho misohitivous element, which makes tri? butary to its own ends both the property ol property-holders and the suffrages of the humbler olasses?particularly the colored?would not find it wholusome to continue the business any longer. Onoe the flag nnder whose folds they securely follow their depredations was removed from their worshipping gaze, a chill would strike their hearts, and they wonld fold np their tents and steal si? lently away. They would require no urging or driving. Force to move them would be as unneosseary as it would be ill-advised. Conscience would be free to operate, and stung by its lash, they would abandon the field of their illicit gains, and leave tho victims, whom they would no longer have tho power to de? lude. The military is u weloome pre? sence amongst ns. Our people have no ~2~ ? 1" ??V? nl t\\a anldinra. And I the officers aud geutlemen whom it is a pleasure to meet. But ander the shadow of the flag which has innooontly pro? tected them, have crept aud grown to power aud influence a class of men who have poisoned tbe fountains of our po? litical iife, and brought shame, poverty and infamy iu their train. It will be a great relief to get rid of them, and we know no way so likely to effect this end ?a way at once peaceful and effectual? as to remove tbe symbol of power under which they mastered and ruined tho prosperity of our people. Ouco the field was clear, a union of honest men, of nil parties, oolors and creeds, oould be entered into. Tho natural alliance between intelligence, character and ho uesty, whether in Republicans or Con? servatives, with the bard-working and voting people, would be again practica? ble, and in time: would bo consummated, l;> the good of all. The more wo oxatniuu this modo of relief, tho more it grows in our regards. We put it- forward, ca they ?ay in the Legislature, -"iu good faith." It is the - only way by wbiuh the foundations of the monstrous edifice of corruption can be undermined in any reasonable time. It contemplates no violence. It would be attended with none. - Our innocent artiolo iu yesterday'? isnne, npou a mode of relief from the evils which aflliot our State, was hold np, as wo loam,, by Mr. Hurley and Mr. Muokoy, in the Huuso of Representa? tives, as tbo revival of htu Klux. They know butter, and need not roll up tho 'vbites of their eyea iu a vaiu endeavor to brand it with any such odious uame. What would they have? Their reform is a pretence. They oanuot reform, oven if thny honest, desired it. Tho influenae must conto from without. Aud come it will iu somo shape. We seek to have it come quietly nod gently. But the very name lias terrors for them. 1'he rustling of a leaf frightoueth thorn. - In the States of Ohio, Maryland, New .Jersey, Tennessee and Connecticut the penitentiaries are self sustaining. Xiic Good of tb? Country Above Party. All good oitizeue of this State, of whatever nationality, color or party, aro concerned in finding some remedy for its admitted evils. Republicans and Conservatives, black, white and parti? colored, can auite upon this common ground. Very strong expressions of dissatisfaction with the oouditiou of affairs here, bavo bee.i uttered by the Republican p*ress of the North, und echoed in the jouruals and public speeches of Radicals iu this State. Tho convention of tax-payers sent forth some moderate protests agaiust corruption and mal-administratiou of affairs. What effect they will produoe upon Cougress remains to be 6eeu. It is time some sort of answer has been framed, apolo? gizing for or faintly denyiug their facts aud resisting their conclusions; but iu moro enlightened and candid It ??publican oirolcs, tho corruption which is eharged is admitted to exist, aud branded as it deserves to be. Iu the nature of thiugs, thero cannot be nuy eorions difference betweeu mo.derate Conservatives and advanced Republicans upon tho exist? ence of wrongs. Tbey aro too patent, too enormous, to be denied. They would stir a fever in the heart of age, or make an infant's sinews strong as steel. It is natural, however, that there should bs some differeuoe of view as to the most appropriate remedies, and we are prepared to allow great toleratiou of opinion iu this matter. We welcome the honest reformer, whether be thinks it beat to work within or without party organization. We and those with whom we act, seek toseouro better government and the oure of the diseases wbicb afflict the body politio, by appeals, argu? ments and remonstrances addressed to those who at present control the politi? cal power of the State. Wo endeavor to make them see tbeir own good in the good of the country. Besides that, we look beyond our Stute borders and en? deavor to enlist on our side the power? ful public opinion of the whole country. We bavo felt the force of this public opiniou to pur hurt; we now wish to engage it to come to our relief. Our case has been presented to the oountry and to Congress, and we await with interest the response that will bo made. South OaboijIna's Appeal.?What has become of it? Is it dead alrendy? Wae it that tb9 Btartliug noiso it made too strongly resembled that of a dead body tbrowu from a cliff in to a still lake, into which that body immediately sank, tbe lake resuming at once its death-like silenoe? Nevertheless, like that body, it will rise again, aud, trumpct-tougued, ring out tbe "deep damuatiou of its taking off." Yes, "murder rill out." South Carolina's assassination must bo tried before the bar of the country. Meantime let us ask tbo organs and ad? vocates of tbe centennial show aud sham whether South Carolina is expected to bo there. Until she is loosed from the -zlitici! -r-Tj she esa ?pM?? hv ghostly proxy, like Banqno'sshade, and startle the national vanity fair with her forlorn und deathly visage. A most un? timely apparition would that be. Bet? ter far appease the poor gbost, and in? stead nave a living representative of one of tbe most distinguished of tbe illustri? ous thirteen of 1770, happily mi?gling in_ tbe general joy. Without such justice' thorn cub be no real celebration. I Richmond Dispatch. . ?? ? ? ?-? The Blue Rtdoe Bailuoad. ?A mo? tion was made Wednesday in the United States Court, by Ool. Edward McCrady, of counsel for trustees of tho Bine Ridge Railroad, who called the atten? tion of thu Court to tho advertisement of tho assignees, in which it is stated that tho trustees, under tbo mortgage of 1854, had submitted their rights and duties to the Court. IIu moved, there? upon, to strike out the words, "having submitted their rights to tho courts." After hearing tho remarks of Mr. D. T. Corhin, who represented tho tissigneos, the Court decided that it was an inritum order, but that it was not neoessury to make the amendment proposed, und that tho order, without alteration, ex? pressed tbe viewy of the Court.

Cheap Beef fhom Texas ?Tho tradej iu shipping dressed beef from Denifou, Texas, to this city, which was com? menced iu tho early part of Deoeruber last, bus since eoutinued, and has met with considerable success. Up to the present, Mr. Thirston, the agent in this' city for tho "Atlantic and Texas Re frigerator Car Company," has received seventy-five car load* of the dressed beef, containing 20,000 pounds iu euch oar, and with few exceptions, tbe meat has been roceived in good condition,' aud fonud a ready sale at from bix to seven cents a pound to retail venders.! It is considered that the large supply oi! Texas beef thus thrown upon the New York market has had the effect of lower? ing the price of fresh-killed beef about $2 a owt. The company engaged in this business Bay they bave a oapitai of j S250.000 invested, and they look for? ward to largo results.

This is uot a time to tempt the virtue- of Congressmen. Discoveries of Mount Sinai.?Tbe exploration of Arabia Petrea, and espe? cially of the mountains of Sinai, has formed a valuable source of ioatruotioo, of which European, more frequently than any other, travelers havo praoti oally availed themselves. Investigations as to the true locality whence Israel ro oeived the law have, however, nover yet resulted in placing the mntter beyond doubt. Tho peninsula of Sinai is of triangular shape, 140 miles long from Norm to South, and nearly tbe same in breadth in its widest portion. The Northern portion is u desert plain, with sand-hills and low mountains; iu the South, four ranges of mountains rise, with numerous peaks, from 1,000 to 10,00'J feet high, divided by narrow stud valleys. The Jebc) Mnsa, or Mount of Moses, an isolated summit, from tho South point of which, 0,274 feet high, it was supposed Moses re? ceived tho law. had its glory taken from it by late travelers, who maintained that the valleys in front of it could not bold the vast people of Israel supposed to have been congregated under it. The Jebel Serbai, or, as sometimes called, tbo Mount of God, lying some distance West of Jebel Musu, aud huving u val loy of greater extent, was next identified as the true Sinai by distinguished tra? velers. Still other explorations resulted in tho selection of the North poiut of the Jebel Musa. called Iiis Sasefeh, or Mount of tho Willow, 7,088 feet high, aud commanding a vast amphitheatre. Upon the Has Sasefoh there are three chapels, und the monastery colebratvd for its antiquity, its manuscript trea? sures and the. hospitality of its monks. As early as tho third ceutury the oaves of these mountains were the refuge of persecuted Christians, uuuhorites aud ascetics, and though eveu there they were not at all times free from Moham? medan per.seention, they have generally been permitted lo remaiu, and the monks have been iu peaceable posses? sion pretty nearly since their first estab? lishment there. The lutost claim to the discovery of true Siuai is now made by Dr. Boke, an Euglish traveler, who says, according to the cable despatch pub? lished lately, that it is "situated a day's journey North-east of tbe village of Akaba, at an altitude of 5.000 feet ubove the level of tbe sea." This in too in? definite to ufford more than a hypo? thetical idea of the locality, und a fuller report must be awaited before the sub? ject etu be fairly treated. Dr. Beke adds that lie found remains of animals which had beou sacrificed, and also Siuaitto in; criptious, neither of which facts, however, muy be deemed absolute evidence iu the premises. "I and My Husband Can do With? out."?If this truly pathetic incident were in a drama it would be told to tiers of weeping women und admiring men; but iu real life it will puss without spe? cial wonder as a mere daily ocourrenco among tbe uuromantio poor of tho "Strsots of New York:" In New York city, on Tuesday evou ing, a laboring man, accompanied by his wife and six children, entered the Mulberry htrcet station, and asked Capt. Cliuaby to give them shelter for the night. Cnptuio Cliuchy told Doorman Burrell to put them into one of the warm cells ou the first floor. Soon tbe woman asked to go out and get food for tho children. Seeing how weak she was Captain Clinoby told her to give him the money au i he would send Bur* rid I nut Tti>> wnmun liutiduil fliintuin Olinohy four cents. "WhatI" exclaimed Cliuchy, "what sort oi supper do you intend to get for this?" "Bread, sir!" "Well, you won't got enough for you all for four cuts." "That's SO, captain, but I and my husband can do without it." Handing her the four cents, Capt. Ulinchy, accompanied by Burrell, went to a ucigbboriug baker's, uud returned with three loaves, some bam and fish, and a subscription was raised among the tneu, u!l of them gavo their mite to rissist tho poor family. Here is uu inspiration, says tho Rich? mond J?n<juirer, whoso simple pathos should inora the world like u new ser? mon from the Mount. "I aud my hus? band c in do without!" What devotion? what love! That poor mother is a jewel of which New York .should bo prouder than of nil her merchuut princes und railway kings. ?u Saturday night, a distressing acci? dent occurred at the residence of Mrs. Mary J.

Mr. Orr's right hand was most severely injured, and it will bo several weeks before he is ubioto transact business.
