COLUMBIA, S. C. Saturday Morning, March. 28,1874.x Elliott's Programme. The fitness of Elliott to conduct o re? form in the Radical party in this State, ie seriously questioned by some of his quondam allies. "Republican," in the Greenville Republican, pertinently asks whether he can point to any pubjio action of his, since he first came to South Carolina, which would indicate that ho really desired an honest admi? nistration of the Government; whether he did not leave his seat in Congress to work in the interest of Qov. Scott, when he waa threatened with impeachment, and did not his reward come in the shape of a 35,UUU payment out ol iho appropriation for the armed force fund? Did. he not vote for the back salary grab, and sneeringly say that he never intended to return his back pay into the public treasury? Did he not do as muoh as any man in the State to help increase the pnblio debt, by adding to it hun? dreds of thousands of dollars in pay certificates for the legislative session of 1871-72? I And who did more than he to causo tho election of the present State Administration? Weighed in tho ba? lance which "Republican" holds up, Elliott, from his record, in found to be wanting. But is it oertain that ho iutends to run on the schedule of reform? It be .?gins.to transpire that he is not bo muoh ? concerned about purity of administra? tion a ad repentance for others, as for taking a step or two higher up the lad? der of promotion for himself. The :Port'BoyaI Commercial quotes a passage from Speaker Lee's address to the Houso on its adjournment, which it re? gards as the key-note to tho nomination of Elliott for Governor. "For six years," he said, "have we been appren? tices; now it is time that we should as .stuns tixe role of waster." The Commer croloomplimonts him with saying that, being "reckless und thoroughly de? praved, Elliott cau do more than any man liviog to obliterate the. last spark of hope for the success of the experi? ment of universal and unqualified suf? frage." Similar testimonials to his capa? city for evil oome from other and mdre -distant quarters. The St. Louis Repub? lican charges him with the purpose of having himself nominated and eleoted ?G over nor, and then enforcing a "red hot" policy towards honest and decent white men. With the exception of a few carpet-baggers and renegades, he is determined, says this journal, to make a clean sweep, and drive the Conserva? tives of South Carolina into other locali? ties. Elliott has said some bitter things in his day against the Southern white peo? ple. He is tho man who wished Demo? crats to be buried so deep that the sound of the trumpet of resurrection should never reach them. He has a good deal of rancor in him against Southerners, intensified by contact with such leaders of the abolition crusade as Weudell Phillips, Garrison and others of the most extreme and unrelenting type. But he bus grown more moderate of late. We do not think he has marked out or means to follow any bloody pro? gramme in this State. He has some sense, considerable cultivation aud u fair knowledge of tho world. His feel? ings may not be friendly, but bis judg? ment and ambition would both dissuade him from a policy which would provoke a hostile collision between the races. It is very likely that he intends to run for Governor. Should he win that prize, ho means to use it as a stepping stone to the position of United States Senator. That, wo think, is tho direc? tion of his thoughts aud tho goal to which his aspirations tend. As for re? form, ho ouly echoed dowu hero the ex? pressions which wera current arouud him iu Washington. His relorm is but skin deep. Ho played tho curd with some little success. It afforded him tho opportunity of grinding hi? two or threo axes. But his objects are accomplished and his crusade is over. Ho will bo heard making u favorable report of thiugs here iu a short while. He will say that bo* found tho political waters muddy, but left them clear; that he preached repentance, and a belter lifo, aud was happy to kuow, not without cucoees. Ho will represent tho Stute Government en cuuleur de rose. Such will be Elliott's respomio whou next seronaded iu Washington. Ho is in training for oflice, and has too much ounning, not to say too little character, to undertake any real reform in the party from which ho oxpeots it. -- Tho Pope has proclaimed, upon au appcui by a Minnesota legislator, from tho decision of the local prtobthood, thut a Catholic muy join a grange, "if he fiuds uothiug thoreiu conflicting with bis conscience or the creed of the Ca? tholic Churoh." A Correct State Government. This is the desideratum for South Ca? rolina. This would prove tho panacea for ail our ills. Whit' prevents us from getting it? /iWell, mainy tlUogs. , Uni? versal suffrage, under mischievous guid? ance, has resulted in divoroipg property, intelligence, qualifications for the duties of enlightened oitizeuship and integrity, from their proper oonncotioh with the Government, and in placing the manage? ment of affairs in the most irresponsible hands. The olasses who are capable of conducting them successfully and ho? norably ore completely ostracised. They pay 'heavy taxes, but the chief uso to wbioh they are put is to support the State officials, whom they have not chosen, in barbaric splendor, and to perpetuate the rule oi ignorance, preju? dice and dishonesty by which they tire oppressed. Why is it that those who have tho voting power exert it bo dis? astrously aud constantly to tho detri? ment of tho true interests of the coun? try? Because they act under the advice of bad men, who have them in leading striugs, and whoso thoughts aud aims nil run in dirty channels. These pcoplo have 8ottled upon us like the murrain, flies, lue lists, frogs, lice and other abominations whioh devastated Egypt. They oamo with profession's of exclu? sive loyalty to the Uuitod Statos Go? vernment und of extrome regard for the welfare of the colored people. They secured their confidence ouly to botray it. They crouched under tho folds of tho national flag, and thus protected, have perpetrated wrongs which it will take generations of good government to wipe out. Will this flag contiuuo tu cover and countenauco their iniquities? Shall they bo allowed to use it as tho shell, the testudo, under which they may make safe approaches to the last citadel of the people's rights, liberties and pro? perty? What tho final result will bo, all can judge from what has alreudy occurred. We are tending rapidly to the loss of all guarantees of freedom, all protec? tion of property, all securities of good order, all pledges of good understand? ing for the future. Unless this unnatu? ral aud artificial state of things is cor? rected, a foarful era is before us. Wo wish to be rid of men who keep them? selves in position by fomenting strife. Wo wish the true and substantial inte? rests of the country to come togother, upon the basis of a good understanding between all clusses and conditions who are concerned in its permanent prosper? ity. A dangerous and meddlesome ele? ment must be eliminated before thisjean be done. As is pointedly shown in an article .in our columns, to-day, from tho New York World, Gen. Grant pulled out "the wrong tooth" in Ku Klux times. Ho seems even consoioua of it himself, for ho is credited with saying to a Re? publican visitor from this State, that | had the Ku Klux struck down the mise? rable Stato officials, instead of their poor tools, "ho would not havo worn orapo." Nothing is truer than what Mr. Witberspoon, of Yorkville, said to Seun i tor Scott: "Give us a correct Stato Go ' vernmcnt, an:1 I will assure you that the law will be administered without fear or favor, impartially." This assnranco tho Conservative peoplo of South Caro? lina uro ready to give and make good to? day. ?-??-? Dualilu Execution In Suilltcr, Sumte?, S. C., March 27. editor Phxenix: This usually quiet town was Ihe Bcene of an extraordinary event, to day?a double execution. Two colored men, named Aaron Furman aud Samuel Vincent, in February last, curly in tho oveuiug, deliberately murdered u young German, uamud Widekiud, in the public street, in this town. It was proven on the trial that they had laid in wait for him once or twice?tho suppo? sition being that ho carried a goodly amount of mouey on hia person. There wero three men connected with the dia? bolical affair?tho third, a brother o! Furman, who turuod State's evidence. After a fair and impartial trial, Vincent and A. Furman were convicted of mur? der iu tho first degree, und Judge Muckey sentenced thorn to death. There wos an immense concourse of colored persons from Sumter nud the adjacent Couulies, to witness the horrible exhibi? tion, the number being estimated ut six or seven thousund. Sheriff J. M. Titi? dal! superintended the execution. Vin? cent was completely overcome, shed tears profuse*./, und maintained to the last that he wus innocent. Furman wus more composed, but asserted his inno? cence of tho crime; declaring that his brother was tho guilty party. The con? demned were conveyed to a field about a milo from the town, where the gp.'.lo'ws hud been erected; aud about 1 o'clock, tho ropes having bteu adjusted und prayers eaid, they wore swung off. The rope slipped and Vincent slowly stran? gled to death; whilo Furman died al? most instantly?his nock having been broken by tho fall. After hanging a suf lioicnt length of time, tho bodies were cut down and delivered to the relatives and friends. It is to bo hoped that those executions will prove salatary, as murder is bocucu ing fearfully provulont in this section? almost as oomccon as thieving. S. Union-Hehaij>ism3 ?What's the mat? ter with Hannah? She is tax,ed to death and smothered with pay certifi? cates. Oh, Lord! What is a legislative gold watoh-ohain? A chain that binds a Btrioken People while they are robbed. That chain will be broken one way or another, saro, be? fore long. A representative* bond-holder, repre? senting several hundred thousand dol? lars ol tho non-fraoduleut bonds, says tbnt neither ho nor any of them will ex? change worth a ceut, if it takes till sum mor. The last Legislature not only levied a tax and appropriated more than tho tax will bring for this fiscal year, but abso? lutely anticipated tho next Legislature, tied np its hands, and appropriated the wbolo thing for ibe uext fiscal year, Ioaviug, after all, u fearful deficiency. What balm cm there be in (iilead? What hone fur the tioor oeoulo of this State? On Wednesday evening, several uiili tary gentlemen wero discussing the rumor that for a few days past has been murmured in tho precincts of tho war ofhco at tho State House, that the num? ber of militia regiments of the Statu is about to bo reduced so as to conespoud numerically with tbo forces of tho United States, which buvo just been reduced to 25,000 men, or twenty regi? ments of infantry, and a few rquids of oavalry and artillery. If this reduction of tho State forces could bo safely brought dowu to a peace 'footing, or mudd to assimilate to the strength of tbo regular army, it would bo looked upon ns a graceful recognition of I be fuot that wu buvo peace. Hut, then, the Legislature nev*;r contemplated any such reduction or consolidation, or it novcr would bavo made such fuvbh pro? vision for tbo support of its militia. $5,000 for the contingent expenses of an nrmy is not to be suoezed at, und while it holds out, tboro is hope thst the land forces of South Carolina will re? main intact. Should tho eontompUtoJ reduction ttiku place, tho gentlemen re? ferred to wero hopeful that tbo generals and colonels will be handsomely pro? vided for. The WboXq Tooth.?A sarcastic Carolinian, commenting upon tbe inte? rest which begins to bo excited in re? gard to the affairs of "the prostrate State" of South Carolina, and tho indig? nation with which misgovorniueut there is beginning to be viewed, says: "Gun. Grant pulled out tbo wrong tooth in tbe Ka Klux times. Tbe patient is still suffering with tbo tootb-aoho, which shows he ought to have looked more carefully und pulled out tbo carpot-bug gers." This was tbe conclusion to which Mr. Greeley came, and upon which he acted, after a very cursory in? spection of tbe wouuds of tbo South. Indeed, it was tbe result to whioh Gen. Graut's tour of inspection in tbo South brought him, and tbo opiniou to which bo held nutil supposed political exi? gencies* constrained him to alter it. The grievance of tho South is and has beon simply bad government, nothing more; aud this bad government has pro? ceeded entirely from tho political opera? tions of tbo Federal Government in the Southern States. It is to bo hoped that Senator Edmunds, in bis trip to tbo South for health, may couio to under? stand this, and to know, wbut is tho uu doabted fuot, that tbo acts und agents of tbe Federal Government are responsible not only for all tho disorders that buvo visited tho Southern States uud thu bur? den of debt, corruption aud plunder under which those States have groaned since tbe war, but also for all the lies and misrepresentations that have tended to keep up ill-feeliug between the sec? tions. Senator Morton gets all his stock of "blood and nraou" from the ourpet-bnggers, whoso policy and whoso business it is to keep him handsomely supplied; und it has been easy for them, in tbo past temper of tho public mind, to iuve.ut, where tboy could not find, a wny to "tiro tbo Northern heart." Upon this subject, a littlo intelligent testimony before tbo Kn Klux Investi? gating Committee in 1871 reveals much. I Senator Scott, Chairman of tho sub- j committee in South Carolina, was iuu | rogutiug Mr. I. D. Witherspoou, an in-1 flueutial gentleman of Yorkville, upon tho statu of feeling in that community towards the North, which, the Senator insisted, was bitterly hostile. "That is; altogether a mistake," said Mr. Wither? spoou, (it.d his words deserve to bo well weighed,) "and my impression is that the fow Gillee-holders of the South have dtiiiO more than any ouo else to create Ihut iuipre .don. * * They do it to keep up strife and to keep themselves iu position. I do think?now I utn talking to you frankly, gentlemen?I do thiuk wo have some misorublo speci? mens, whilst wo have aomo perfect spe? cimens, oi Northern descent. We have some miserable specimens, judging by their acts and public reputation. On that point, sir, I believe that such is tbo anxiety hero to bring in Northern thrift aud Northern enterprise to build up tbo waste places of tins country, that J. could to-day induce men to sell you land cheaper thuu they would sell to a neighbor." And when Scuator Scott asked how tho negro wa3 to live in South Carolina without tho protection of Federal bayonets, Mr. Witherspoou answerod: "Gtvo ua u oorrect State Go? vernment, and I will assure yon that the law will bo administered without fear or favor, impartially.," But Gun. Graut pulled out thu wrong tooth, und South Carolina :a what it is to-day. [New York World. The Treasury Department, last yea -, spent $2,500 for soap aud Si, 138.85 for crash towels. ?no would suppose, fr j?u tbo quantity of soap und towols pur? chased, that tbo Secretary and his assist ulI.h spend tho greuter part of their time iu washing aud wiping their bauds, aud from tbo condition of their hands, that I they ought to spend it all that way. The Last Outrage.?Oo last Sunday morning, Mr. Wm. Bolt, a very quiet and inoffensive old gentleman, living near a place known as Burnt Factory, in this County, was inveigled by per? suasion and trickery into a difficulty which may cost him some trouble as well aS money. We learn from Mr. Bolt himself that, on the occasion al? luded to, he was at his turnip patch gathering salad, wheu a revcuuc col? lector?a oormoruut of too greediest maw, who bears the namo of James Ma lone;, accompanied by one James C. Moon, another official bird scarcely less greedy?rode up nnd asked him for a piece of tobacco. Mr. B. promptly drew out a twist of home-made tobacco, und guro Malouey u piece of it. Muio ney then insisted on buying the jo mainer of the twist, and Mr. Bolt agreed, after persuasion, to t>ell the roll of tobacco. Soon after this, as Mr. j Bolt was returning to his house, be was accosted by Maloney in a very rough manner, arrested for having sold tho twist of tob.icco, and ordered to dis? mount aud get into a wagon which the latter had captured. Mr. Dolt very i naturally hesitated, aud protested I against such a procedure. At this, Ma? louey put hia hand to his (MuloueyV) hide, us if in the act of drawing u weapon, and said to Mr. B. that he had something there, but didn't want to hurt hiui, and that he bad better get into the wuguu. Mr. 13. then got into the wagon, when Malouey ordered the driver to go like h?11, or ho would kill him. The driver obeyed bis instruc? tions as near as be could, and w^iit up hill and down hill nta break-iieek speed, until be reached this place. Mr. Bolt was oornuiitted to jail on tho same evon ing. but released uex" day on a bond of ?"ir?'dU for his appearance at court. Mr. bolt further informs us Ibal at the time he. was arrested, Malouey had no war? rant; nur could he have had, as tho case was.one of tho?e jumped-up affairs which not even his scheming brain, full of wily resources as it is, had antici? pated. ?

Profitable Mills.?The stockhold? ers of tho Li.iugloy Mills met day before yesterday, ami produced figures in the annual report of the President that are a strong argument in favor of the manu? facturing advantages of this State. The report shows, that of sheeting, shirting and drills, there were made, during tbe year, 132,-122 pieces; equaling 1,758,698 pounds, und 5,439,775 yards. The aver ugu was 319 looms?53 yards pur loom. For the six mouths eudiug July 5, 1873, 1,029,302 pounds of ootton, valued at $170,834, laid down at the mills, were consumed; and for the lust half of tbe year, 995,625 pounds were used, at an average cost oi, at tbe mills, $1-1 99, or almost three cents less than tbe prioo paid for cotton tbe tirst half of tho year. The uet prolits for the year umouut to $101,064.79. Three quarterly dividends of percent, were declared, and uu other is about, prepared. Nothing de?uito has been received iu regard to the disturbances among the boom companies' men at Gowau, Mich. The outbreak appears to have been caused by rivalry between a new boom company, organized this spring, and the old company. Tho mill owners have refused to open their dams aud let the logs bo run through. Tho different companies took tho law iu their own bauds, and opened tho gates, und two dams art: reported destroyed. There is much excitement among the lumber? men, und there have been several colh sious between different parties. Several hundred armed men have stood guard over tho mills and dams, und a serious riot has beeu impending for tho last few days.
