Frilay Morning, April 3, 1874.
, A Now Spirit.
No Buoh or similar event baa occurred
in American history as tba movement of
the tax-payers of Sooth Oarolina to re
cover their lost liberties and to restore
to the whole people the benefits of a de?
cent and honest Government. No State
has ever before been plaoed in so dire or
so peoulior a condition. It is such as to
justify the most strenuous endeavors to
esospe from it. Extraordinary evils de?
mand extraordinary remodios. It is
eminently to the credit of thoBe who
devised the present Boheme, that they
have taken it in the broad light of day
before the forum of enlightened poblio
opinion. It means peaoa, free dis
oassion. oahn judgment and candid oon
olusios. TVs are not without confidence
that some direot and not remote relief
will be Recorded to its prayer. But
whether it fail in this respect or not, it
has already had, and must oontinae to
have, a wide and wholesome moral
effect. It aims to move thoso higher
influences which, in their course, com?
mand the lower, and draw them in their
train. As we have bad occasion to say
before, no cause can be considered hope?
less which la vindicated on this wide
arena, which commands warm interest
and awakens generous sympathy.
As a matter of course, its success
could bob be distasteful to the Radical
ring of legislative and official plunder
era. from whose grasp of greed and in?
solence, from whose touch of corruption
and rain, it is designed to extricate the
i?toeegts, honor and good name of the
State. They affoot to treat the matter
as originating in love of offio9, and as
an effort- to reoover political power.
Knowing nothing of any motives of
aotiou but snob as are base or supremely
selfish, they naturally fall abort of a
just conception of this high and pa?
triotic movement. Not from them do
we expect the ability or the willingness
to fairly measuro anything grand, good
or patriotic. They are joined to their
idols?party, plunder and pelf. Bat
they might at least abstain from positive
misrepresentations of obvions faots.
Mr. Porter only did even justice to the
oao.se -which he so handsomely repre?
sented, when he said to the President
that he and his colleagues appeared be?
fore him in the interests of peace, good
order and honest government. "It
matters little to us," he truly said,
"whether the administration be Repub?
lican or Democratic, so that it insare us
an economical, honest government,
snoh as our aondition imperatively re?
quires. "
It is, however, no less o pleasure than
a duty to reoqgnise the fact that in the
ranks of those who stand arrayed politi?
cally against the conservative people of
the State, there have recently appeared,
on the part of some, evidenced of a hot?
ter, more liberal spirit, and of a higher
and more patriotic purpose. The
utterly hopeless condition of the coun?
try, under the sway of ignorance and
prejudice, guided by fraud and villainy,
is patent to their minds. They know
what their experience has boon. The
disappointment of their hopes in the
past does not jastify their renewal in
the future, except under guarantees of
amendment and pledges of reform,
which shall not be mere empty sounds.
We commend their endeavor to breathe
the breath of a purer life into tho party
organization to which they belong. We
should be pleased, indeed, if they oould
carry with them any considerable body
of followers into the light of the truth
of the real situation. We will not say
they oannot. Let them continne to
raise their earoe.it voices and muko their
manly protests. They havo honestly
eiguuled the breukern upon which tho
ship of State must infallibly go to pieces
innloHH placed under better pilotage. In
this connection, we have ouly commend
lotion for the language of one of our
?city ooutempornties in its insue of yes
Iterday, when it said:
? "The genuine restoration of tho
State must oome from the heurta of ull
the poople, no matter what their indi?
vidual political opinion. In accom?
plishing this great desideratum it be?
comes us all to oast aside tho past and
regard only tho present."

So Kl. in, Be Firm!
Onr RadicaLoontemporary, the Union,
Bays that after a survey of the field and
the whole question, it concludes that
tho tax-payera* oommitteo iu Washing?
ton will direct thoir efforts to aeouro the
removal of. tho United Status troops
from this State. It also professes to
find in what it calls Democratic speeohes
und journals tho evidence of a design to
drive prominent Republicans out of tho
H?tato. If it has ever seen any mention
?anywhere, in any journal of auy party,
Hof such business to be undertaken by
Btho committee, it baa sceu what no one
else has, We venture to say, that the
thought has not occurred to a single
memberoof tho ?committee, y Nojr -have
we soeuja single,line fn<Jfeny jparnJfl, o$a
Beuten? iu an# speech of eithjsrji flajdy
"Demtfotat" or floroo ! Conservative,
which threatens expulsion Qt injury'of
those ornamont8 of society, thu so called
prominent or leading Radicals. The
Onion man is getting nervous and un?
easy, that's all. He loves to villify the
people of the State. It does his soul
good to rake in the embers of a bitter
past, and to stir up strife between tho
black and white people of South Caro?
lina. He does not wish to have theso
sweet privileges abridged. He thinks
that removal of the troops wouli tend
to impair tho license of his speech. By
the-way, a Columbia correspondent to
tho Anguftta Cnnalitutinnrilisl mentions
the probability of tho curly removal of
the troops. Perhaps the Union man wr.s
present at tho cauous alludud to in the
ful owing passage:
"Leading Republicans are apprehon
sivo that the Federal troops will soon be
withdrawn from tho State. Indeed, I
have seen a letter from a high official ut
Washington, addressed to an officer
here, in which he expresses the opinion
that in less than six weeks, the troops
now in South Carolina will be sent to
the plains. This information was im?
parted to Moses yesterduy, and becom?
ing alarmed, he called a caucus of lead?
ing offioials."
Depravity, Indeed i
Thu Onion credits a piece bended
"Southern Depravity" to the Washing?
ton Chronicle, in which tho Pmuxix is
quoted as saying something harsh of
Mr. Sumner. The passage may have*
been copied in the Phojnix. We do not
remember about that. Bat it did not
originate with us. We wrote two or
three articles upon Mr. Sumner's death.
We indulged in no disrespect to his me?
mory. While regarding the work of his
life as one-sided, aud as not tending to
the greatness and happiness of thu Ame?
rican people, we did justice to his mo?
tives, and expressed admiration for his
integrity. This the Union must have
known. It was a case, theo, of Radical,
not Southern, depravity.

A Terrible Warning.?Samuel
Bank", who was hung in Abbeville, on
Friday last, for murder, addressed the
assemblage as follows:
Gentlemen: You all see me, and
kuow what I ni 1 here for. I am to be
hung, and for v/hat? For the murder of
Shed. I do not know that 1 killed him,
but I may have done so; they say I did,
und I will not deny it. I regret that
my death will not restore Shed to lifo.
Shed and I bad previously had some
little misunderstanding, but we had that
day made friends, and that night we ate
and drank together as friends?as bro?
thers. I cherished no ill-feeling towards
him, and I believe that he was friendly
to me. Yon will ask the cause of all
this, and I will answer. Plantation bit?
ters did it. Bad company aud liquor
have brought me to what I am. I have
often made my mother's heart bleed,
and have caused her to weep bitter
tears, on account of my bad course. It
was uo fault of hers that I am bore to?
day. She did all thut an affectionate
mother could do to have me live as I
should. I beg thut you will not scorn
my children on account of the death I
die. They could not help it, aud I trust
that they will not suffer on my account.
I trust the Lord will guard aud protect
them from harm, und thut they may bo
led in tho right way. I hope to meet
them iu Heaven. I fuel that thu Lord
has been good to mc, lie has given mu
tiino for repentance?time to prepare for
death. I fuel that my sins have boon
forgiven, aud that my soul will bo ac?
cepted by the Lord. I rely upou Ilini,
and Him alone. 1 have full faith iu my
peace with God.
Friends, I bid you all au affectionate
alien, and would advise you always to
abstain from the use of plantation bit?
ters aud liquor in any form. If it had
not been for liquor, you would not bee
me hero to-duy.
An Embezzling Htatb Treasurer ?
Col. Joseph Mayo, State Treasurer of
Virginia, was arrested iu Richmond, on
tho 30th of March, ou a bench warrant,
j issued by Judge Guigon, charging Mayo
with tho embezzlement of 53,000 of the
State fands on the 'Al-l of December
last. He was admitted to bail in tho
sum of $10,000, nud o.trried to his resi?
dence by his friends. Several witnesses
were examined as to the condition of
tbe aooased, und their evidence showed
not only that Mayo is now insane, bat
that his mind has been seriously affected
for months past, and that if confined to
prison, it might result iu his permanent,
insanity or death. Tbe arrest of Col.
Mayo caused intense excitement among
all classes, ho beiug highly esteemed by
all, and having many intimate friends,
who are deeply grieved at his misfor?
tune. The Legislature of the Stute has
in tbe meantime ordered a full investi?
gation into the affairs of the office.
A new post office, which will bo known
by tbe name of Clover, has boon estab?
lished iu York County, ut the store of
Carroll & Campboll, on tbe route be?
tween Yorkville and Dallas. Mr. Zitnri
Carroll is the postmawter.
A surveyor, named Henry Smith, of
Horry County, was assaulted by a man
named Smart Pauly, who struck him
with a oadgol on the head, ou last Fri?
day night. Pauly is in jail and Smith
is not expeoted to recover.

tbe gas was turned off on S ttorllay even?
ing from the city, but ho had received
no official notice of tbo samo from the.
Gas Company. Ho also recommended
that tho gas for oity use be disconti?
nued, and that oii lamps be substituted,
j He also asked if it whs tbe will of Coun?
cil to uuuoel and destroy 86,000 of city
monoy in tho hands of thu Clerk.
Alderman Taylor thought it better to
retain it iu *bc vju'ed pnokagos '\z lt
received from the bauk, us it might be
necessary to use som^ portion of it.
Alderman Cooper objected; thought
that city money should bo made bauku
ble. bnt urged tbo destruction of the
50,000 in the Clerk's tafo.
A motion by Alderman Cooper was
adopted, that tho Clerk furnish, at the

THe Ladles' Benevolent Society.
Tbo annual mooting of tho above, on
last Monday, although tbo day was fine,
was very poorly attended, und the vari?
ous churches of the place bad bat a
small representation. Wo thought this
excellent charity was so well uuderstood
iu its plans and purposes as to elicit a
continuous and increasing support,
commensurate with its largo and over
appealing requirements. They who
might be most sumptaoas iu giving,
because their charity might bo mis?
directed rr misused, may surely givo
unhesitatingly to tbe funds of a society
under tbe direct supervision of tho
Christian women of Columbia, who con?
scientiously sco to it that every dollar
tbey secure for the poor is carefully und
judiciously used for their benefit; not
for tbe benefit of the poor, who ore
nb!'.;, if not willing, to work, but for the
amelioration of the poor, who are oon
fiued to beds of sickness. To prevent
imposition, the oity is divided off into
charity wards and visiting committees
appointed for these of tbe ladies wbo
personally seo tbe cases appealing for re?
lief before tbey nfford it. So thit,
though it may be questionable, tbo duty
of giving to tbe street beggars or to
those at our door, yet to tbo sick and
destitute, surely the duty is plain to ex?
tend all tho belp we can. Tho terms of
subscription for members is only one
dollur per annum. We do trust that
auy wbo may have not been ablo to at?
tend on last Monday, will sond their
dollar to tbo Treasurer of tbo Society.
Mrs. MncFie. There is not now 620
in tbe treasury! What is that for tho
wants of tbo coming year of sickness
aud destitution umong tbo poor of a

Tue Only War of- tub Time.?Since

western extremity of Sumatra, an islund
of tbo Indian archipelago, where tbe
Dutch have various possessions. Ac?
cording to tbe lust accounts, tbo Dutch
bombarded an ompty fort (tbo Kratou)

by the judicious distribution of money.

Discipline in the Seminary.?We
have tukcu the pains to inquire iuto
tho circumstances c.i tbo trouble said to
exist iu the Theological Somiuary. Oar
city contemporaries were mistaken in
their statement of tbe facts of tbe oase,
and exaggerated the number of the stu?
dents wbo have withdrawn. Only five
have been dismissed, and it is to be
hoped that tbey will yet find it agreea?
ble to tbeir feelings, and not inconsist?
ent with a proper self-respect, to repair
tbo breach which has been made be?
tween them and tbeir revered in?
structors. These gentlemen simply un?
dertook to carry out tbe theory of tbe
constitution of the Seminary, which
prescribes that tbey shall oppoint and
couduot religions services f jr the divi?
nity students, as well as impart instruc?
tion to thorn. For various reasons, the
principal being that a professor of tbe
Seminary bus commonly been either
the pastor or supply of the church, and
that the classes have usually been small,
tbis regulation has not always been car?
ried out literally. Its substance was
considered to be gained by the attend?
ance of tbe students upon the services
of the church, the pulpit of which was
usually tilled by a professor, and by
prayer meetings and the exercise known
as tho "conference." It has been felt,
however, for some time past, that tbe
rulo ought lo bo more strictly enforced,
aud the presence of a largo class afforded
an additional reason for delaying it no
longer. Tbo obligation is as binding
' upon tbo students to attend, as upon
I tho professors to appoint these services.
{ And ueithor is seriously affected by tbeir
omissiou heretofore. Out of a class of \
tifty-soveu, fifty-two remain, and we
sincerely hope that tbe seceding five
will return to tho fold. We roo no
principle involved iu this matter which j
should iuduoo them to stay out.

under the treatment of Prof. Lane a
few days, and I do feel perfectly safe in
suyiug that I am absolutely cured of
stammering. The most respectable mer?
chants in Charlotte, N. C, will testify
that I was one of the worst stammerers
in existence, nod that' I very often
had to resort to my pencil to effect my
necessary business transactions with them.
Now, whenever I stammer, (if at all,) it
is not because I cau't avoid it. I am
the master now and stammering the
slave. W. 8. WILSON,

you to tbe following merchants of Char?
lotte, N. O.: W. J. Black, MeMorray &

Dr. Schenck's Standard Remedies.
?The standard remedies for all diseases
of the lungs are Schenck's Pulmonic
Syrup, Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic and
Schenck's Mandrake Pills; and* if
taken before the lungs are destroyed, a
speedy cure is effeoted. To these three
medicines, Dr. J. H. Sohenok, of Phila- ?'
delphia, owes bis unrivaled success iu
the treatment of pulmonary diseases.
The Pulmooio Syrup ripens tho.mor?
bid matter in tbe lungs; nature throws
it off by an easy expectoration; for when
the phlegm or matter is ripe, a slight
cough will tbrow it off, the patient has
rest, and the lungs begin to heal.
To enable the Palmonio Syrup to do
this, Schenck's Mandrake Pills and
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonio most be
freely used, to cleanse the stomach and
liver. Schenck's Mandrake Pills sot on
the liver, removing all obstructions, re?
lax the gall bladder, the bile starts
freely, uud tbe liver is scon relieved.
Scbenok's Sea Weed Tonio is a gentle
etimnlantand alterative. The alkali of
which it is composed mixes with tbe
food and prevents souring. It assists
tho digestion by toning up the stomach
to a healthy condition, -so that tbe food
and tho Palmonio Syrup will make good
blood; then tbe lungs heal, and the pa?
tient will surely get well, if care is taken
to prevent fresh oold.
All who wlsb to consult Dr. Scheuck,
either personally or by letter, can do so
at his principal office, corner of Sixth
and Arch streets, Philadelphia, every
Monday. Sahenok's medicines are sold
by all druggists throughout the country.
