COLUMBIA, S. C. WodusBday Horning, April 8,1874. A Wajr Whore Thert'i m, Will. The appeal of tbe tax-payers ol South ?Carolina tu Congress, for redress of in* tolerable grievanoea, affords the domi? nant party an opportunity auch as sel doo ooonrs in history, of aohieving a great reputation by the performance * aim ply of an act of justice-. The ease is (ally marie oat, and tbe universal publio opinion olearly reoognizes the situation, although it would take years of study to get an insight into all the governmental and flooial evils which exist here. Their same is legion, and the best informed men amongst us discover almost every day eome enormity of wbioh tbey bad uot before bad cognizance. If this is troo of our own people, the dimouiiy on tbe part of strangers of grasping the subject in the wbole of its wicked ex- < ??Seut, and in all its hideous proportions, ?nust necessarily be mach greater, and -can only be compassed by patient re ?search and tbe most pains-taking appli? cation. We are gratified to perceive, however, that while they know not half the wrongs of which we complain? "while tbey can have as yet but a partial view of those many causes wbioh have fared, and mast, in tbe nature of things* continue to breed, trouble in our so 'Oiety, the gentlemen iu Oongross, of all iparties, accept tbe statements wbioh our ?representatives have made of tbe ano cnalone and perilous posture of affairs. We luw-o uowhoro soon them called in ?Question; -exoapt in a Radical sheet in this city, wiiosa vooation it is to mis ?represent, and whoso delight it is to ivillify, our .people. Tbe evil beiug ad unlfftea, then, and fairly appreciated as - of more than local concern, as reaching rru its ramifications the very structure of ?republican institutions, tbe mind is em_ fcucrossed by no other question that that watderisiing some appropriata and peaoe Tible remedy?a remedy which, while it gives relief in one quarter where urgently needed, ahull nob inflict u cor .cesponding injury upon any other olass. la a special despatch to one of our I -city journals, yesterday hiorning, we read that a member of tbe Judiciary ' Committee?Mr. Eldridge?oould not , <see his way olearly to interference, npon , ?ttie pretext that the non-tax-payers 1 vetti. away the people's money. Per- 1 ruaps, if he would amend bis aonaeption ( ?of the matter, and make his statement ; -read, that the non-tax-payers and offi- I oia'.s atole the people's money and de- I graded tbe character of the State, be j ?might thus, in more strongly grasping \ >i\ze monstrosity,-more readii/ discover < a. way -to overthrow it. Interference was 1 easy enough when it was felt to be ne- j oessary to rehabilitate South Carolina, ( .in 1868. It met no insuperable objections j when Louisiana, by determined effort in ' -a popular election, gave a decided vote | against just such thieving and oorrup- , (ion as we now groan under. The Presi? dent of the United States tospouded i promptly to tbe telegram of those who | were beaten in the election, aud ordered ' (he Uuited Stuten troops to repair to the , scene and sustain the lout oanse of the i -oppressors of the people of that Stute. It was only by direct intervention of tbe 1 Pr?sident, under the advice and prompt- , itrg of bis Attorney-General, that the ! will of the people of Louisiana was set ?aide. Sorely what was so easily practi? cable in a doubtful or bad cause, ought not to be impossible in a good one. And i the instance was happily recalled by Mr. Porter, in answer to the expressed de? sire of Mr. Tremaine, of the Judiciary Committee, to discover some justifica? tion for interposition by Congress in ?tbe domestic affairs of a sovereign Stute, that Congress had interposed its autho? rity to proteot persons from certain al? leged Ka Klux conspiracies in this State. If it oan intervene for one pur? pose, it may for another. If conspiracy agaiuat life and liberty may bo inquired into and punished, so may conspiracy .-against tho life, property aud dearest in viereats of tho whole oommuoity be in? quired into, und, if nut punished, at .leant arrested and brought to an uud. The matter will soon be loft in the .'?hands of Congress. Wo shall have the .consolation of knowing that wo have done our duty in bringing so gruvo u .rnntter before the American people uud tbe national legislature. Certain it is, we are not dreaming dreams. Certain it ia, that South Carolina, flickering ?with uncertain and portentous light, is a reprouch und disgrace to tho galaxy of Obe American Union. Certain if is, that ?he disease which infects the body politic is immedicable by any processes within our reach, or any ar,t of political Margery that we can apply. We cuu no ?more conciliate tbe settled stereotyped ?majority, which grinds us into the dust, than tbe Popo oould inflaenco tho erratic ?Bourse of tbeoomet by bis ball. There -are enaotments, by courtesy aud habit v called laws, bat tbey are framed to in jure the substantial interests of tbe country, to protect fraud, to perpetuate irresponsible power, and to cover np in* famy. Who that can add'two and two together, docs not see tha'|some beoofl oial change mast come, or that utter ruin and the most unfortunate collisions mast necessarily ensue? It is a duty which Congress and tbe American peo? ple cannot escape, to give the complaints of South Carolina?tax-paying,, con? servative South Carolina?oandid and dispassionate consideration. They are bound to devise some mode for her escape from the body of death and dis graoe to which she has become most un? fortunately and unwillingly allied. Aud tbe party which is mainly responsible for so dire an infliction, is the very one which, if it have the will as it has the power, can, by some simple act of jus? tice, inaugurate a policy which will not only have the negative effect of clearing away difficulties from our path, and lifting a burthen from our shoulders wbioh cannot be much longer borne, but will unite nil good and honest citi? zens in a harmonious effort to secure good government, and tbe permanent interests and unsullied honor of all classes, colors and conditions of the people. Such act of justice, from its rare and exceptional character, and its beneflaent promise, would be regarded as no less magnanimous than humane and just. <??>???-? Desperate Adventure in New Yoke. The New York Times gives an account of the desperate adveuture of a lawyer, A. 13. Morris, of Warreuton, New York. At half-past 6 o'clock, on Thursday night, while tbe gentleman referred to was standing at a prominent point ou Broadway, bo was uocosted by a youug woman, who related a most pitiful tale of poverty, and begged the tmm of two dollars to keep her aud her mother from being turned into the street by a rapa? cious lundlord. Mr. Morris w.\s williug to give the desired amount, but tbe wo? man 'insisted upon him uccompauyiug her in ordor to verify her statement. What subsequently took place is given in tbe victim's own statement: We went East from Canal street, aud turned into a side street, aud after u while we came to a house aud usceuded two or throe steps, and entered a narrow hall-way. There tho woman opened a door, and uskBd me to walk in uud wait until she could advise her motbot that some one was coming to see her. In front of tho Are, and nearer to it than tbe louugo, was a cottage bedstead. "Yuu will have to sit ou tho bed, sir," said tho woman, "as there are no chairs. [ will take off my shawl und go at once to my mother." At the woman's sug? gestion, I sat down ou the bed, about two feet from the foot, tbe woman stand? ing in front of me with her shawl in her bands. Hardly bad I seated myself when she sp-aug upon me like a tigress, throwing the shawl ovor my head. At tbe same moment I felt my feet grasped by some one under the bed. I then felt that I bad to struggle for my life. I bad S300 iu money iu my pocket-book, Et draft for $150 and u $5UD watch iu my pest pooket. I oould not see, us my bead was completely enveloped iu the shawl, but I felt a strong pull at my watch ohain^uud afterward I felt u bund in my pocket where my mouey was. I made a tremendous effort, und succeeded in throwing the woman over the foot of i the bed. 1 then sprang up and freed j my feet and rushed to the further corner ! of the room. There the woman again I attacked me, but 1 knocked her duwu, I and tbeo, taking u large pearl-handled, | silver-mounted knife from my pocket, 1 swore that if anybody attacked me again I I would put a bullet through him. 11 then went to tho door, and to my ustb- j nishmeut found it locked, bolted aud barred. I drew the bolt and took dowu tbe bar, but could uot unlock the door, us the key was gone. Finally I broke oil' tho catch of tnu lock with the bar, aud found myself at liberty. I afterward went back over tho ground with a polieo uiin, but was unable to identify tho house, although I did my best to do so. Ho:uUBL3 Death?Au old colored man, u4nied Sum. Ford, a cart driver, employed by. City luspeotor Walker, met a horrible death in King street, yesterday morning. The horse drawing the cart on which he was sitting took fright at the beating of tbo drum of the bund of the Lincoln Light Infantry, near Liue street, und ruu away. The old man fell fo.ward, und one of bis feet became entangled iu one of tho shafts and the harness. Iu this position, he was dragged sevoral blocks; his head striking ou the wboels and plank-road as the horse dashed aloug. Tho horse was stopped near tho upper guard housu.' Tho old man was unconscious, aud soon diod.?Charleston News and Courier. Death from Excessive Lauouter.? The Indianapolis News aaya: Tho com? mon phrase "I thought I should kill myselt laughing," became a sad reality with a man in Claremont lust Friday, lie was ongaged iu conversation with hia wife, aud laughing very heartily; wheu suddenly he said, "Stop, you make mo laugh too much," and falling to the floor, instantly expired. At the Catholic Churob in Wilming? ton, on Good Friday night, a relic of tho oross on wbioh Christ died was ex? posed. A Mr. A. J.

Death of Saneb.o Cooper. Aged Nearly a. Hundred V-tn. One of the few connecting links of tho remote past and the present was severed'on Monday, April 6, by the rtoith of Sancbo Cooper. By many ihesished memories and associations will the name of this venerable man be long venerated in Columbia. He was a pillar of tbo church from a very yoong man down to exoooding old age, where, with a spirit vigorous as ever, yet from physical exhaustion be resigned, with tears and prayers and blessings, tbo burden ho bad so long and faithfully borne, into you'ngor and stronger band?. For very many years a class-leader of the colored membership of the old Washington Street Church of Colum? bia, (even that ono, the first of any in the place, built under the uuspices of the Kov. John Harper, in 1801 ) be gave uot op his connection with it und the one succeeding it, till thero was no longer place for him, as for any member of that church, burnt to tho ground in ISC?. Nearly by tho tirau tho present cbapul had boon erected, tho colored membership bod succeeded in building for themselves a house of worship, aud had effected u separate org-?niz itiou. Yet Saucho's heart was o?or iu the chtiroh of bis first love?his "dear old Washington Street Church," as ho called it, and as from tho door of his homo bo descried the spiro of tho new ono, soon to be completed, be ? prayed God's blessing opou it forever. The Rev. William Alar tin, so long connected with the Washington Street Church us pastor and missionary, he bud engaged, long years ago, to "preach bis funeral." That sacred commission was performed to a large oongregrution, from the text Matthew XXV, 27. Bat the memory of Sancbo Coopor, whose no mo was as a household word to tbo old students of the South Carolina College, has also u reflected classical association as body servant to the distinguished President of tbo College, Dr. Thomas Cooper, who, at bis death, as reward for Sau ooo's faithful services, left him his freedom, together with an annuity. Sancbo firmly believed Dr. Cooper's early religious traiuiug, (for his parents wero devout Methodists,) bore fruits iu bis last days, and on bis deutb-bed, in proof of which, be attested many facts, lie full}' expected to meet bis old mas? ter, whore no mists or shadows obscure the visiou of "Things unknown to mortal scuse, Unseen by reason's glimmering ray." Not many more faithful Christians than Sancbo Coopor will ever hear from their Lord aud Mister, "Well done!" M. M. Dr. Cruveilber, who died a few days since, at Paris, was one of the best of men, and bis death produced much emotiou among certain classes of tho French capital. It is recorded that every Suuday a crowd of tbo poor us- ( Humbled at tho door of bis rcsideucu, 3 li'ie des Pyramide?, where be gave both alms und gratuitous udvice. All the money be received on that day from bis wealthier patients was devoted to , charity. He was a ?innere believer iu religion, aud practiced it with rever euce. Ho was the bead of a family , which might have been envied by a , patriarch, un he bad not less than six? teen children. Gek. McLaw.s ?Tue Washington cor? respondent of the Baltimore Sun says , the personal influence of the President , und the efforts of Gen. Gordon carried Geu.

Tut: Morgan Mystery.?Mr. A. P. i Deutly, of Mount Pleasant, Iowa, is writing a story founded on ?be abduc? tion of Morgan, of Masonic memory, lie is assisted by the Hon. J. C. Gill, of that city, who was accused of and tried for the abduction. It will give, it is said, a tmo and reliable account of the historic event. During uu altercation which took place Saturday night, ut their residence, No. 27 Thompson street, Now York, Kichard Hickton, aged nineteen, was stabbed in the left side by bis brother John, und mortully wounded. Tho wounded man stated to tho coroner, who was called, that his brother was blameless, as be himself bai been the aggressor. Secretary Robeson is again called upon to piss upou tho conduct of a number of naval cadets at Annapolis who bavo been guilty of "hazing." In this instance the ring-leader is the sou of a Hear Admiral; but tbo Secretary nays neither personal friendship nor of? ficial distinction shall interfere with bis previously announced decision in such matters. What Causes Hair to Tuns Git ay.? Au English writer has recently asserted that an uudtio proportion of lime iu tho system is the cause of premuturu gray hair, uiiel advises to avoid hard water, either for drinking pure or when cou verted into tea, coffee or soop, because Lard wuter is always strongly impreg? nated with litno. |flA Democratic Triumph.?Tho elec? tion for town officers in Westchostor Conuty, N. Y., held on Tuesday, re? sulted in a Democratic triumph, elect? ing a majority of tbo supervisors and wrosting two towns from the P.epubli oans. Dk Schekck's Standard Remedies. ?The standard remedies for all diseases of the lunga are' Scuenck's Polmonio Syrup, Echenck'h Sea Weed Tokio and SohenckV Mandrake Pills; and, if taken before the lungs are destroyed, a speedj euro is effected. To these three medicines, Dr. J. H. Scbenck, of Phila? delphia, owes bis unrivaled success in the treatment of pulmouary diseases. The Pulnionio Syrup ripens the mor? bid matter in the lungs; nature throws it off by an easy expectoration; for when the phlegm or matter is ripe, a alight cough will throw it off, the patient has rest, and the lunga begin to heal. To enable the Pulmonio Syrup to do this, Sohenck's Mandrake Pills and Schenck'a Sea Weed Touio must bo freely used, to cleanse the stomach and liver. Sohenck's Mandrake Pills net on tho liver, removing ull obstructions, re? lax the gall bladder, the bile starts freely, und the liver is soon relieved. Sebenck'n Sen Weed Tonic is a gentle ntimulaut and alterative. The alkali of which it is composed mixes with the food and preveuts souring. It assists the digestion by loniug up the stomach to a heultby condition, so that the food and the Pulmouic Syrup will make good blood; then the lungs heal, and the pa? tient will surely get well, if care is tukt u to prevent fresh cold.

OLLEVEB, ApS 3 Professor of Music. The Wilmington (N. C.) Journal, of Lhe 1st iust., reports a bold robbery of .he United States mails at the Uniou Depot, in that city. Tho robbery was effected while the mails were being :rausferred. Several b"ag9 were carried jlf, all contaiuitig matter bound South. The mail bags wore fouud on Monday, iu the woods near the cily. They were open nud their contents .scattered upon thu ground, all the letters having been opened.

Tue j robbers have not -?et been found out. i Thu Raleigh Xetc& thinks the earth rpiake on Bald Mountain has been uro bono publico. It says: It has caused fifty live conversions to religion, broken 1 up twenty-seven illicit whiskey distille ries, drove from the country two sub- j revenue officials, rid the mountains of u ' sorry preacher and furnished us several j Dolumus of reading matter. Ou the other hand, the damage is slight, tor hud it broken up ull the crockery in tho ! mountains, the cost would not have been ?10, while Mrs. Nannie's chimney would have tumbled with tho lirststrong wind. The Democrats throughout the coun? try?especially the Democrats of this section ? will.learn with reglet that Mr. Beck, of Kentucky, declines a re-eloo tiou to his seat iu Congress. For many years Mr. Bock has represented with ability and fidelity the district, the peo? ple ot which so often honored Henry Clay with thtir suffrages. From tho in? ception of tho reconstruction infamy down to the present time, Mr. Beck has been n staunch frieud of the South and championed her cause when she was de? nied representation. Tenderly stroking the soft, silken curls of his innocent boy, and gazing into the liquid depths of his bluo up? turned eyes with n glance that told what fountains of parental lovo were running over hia breast, Mr. Mai row fat affec? tionately murmured: "No, Artaxerxos, you oau't learn to chaw to tobuker as long us your dad is bos-of this rauche." Saturday, while seven men were load? ing a barge with sand at Fort Picker? ing, at the Southern boundary of Mem? phis, Term., about a quarter of an aore of the bluff fell upon them, buning tho barge, Dave Tracy, Dud Wave and an? other, unmc unknown, beneath the slide in 100 feet of water.

The^ decision of tbe Sapremo Court, in the matter of tho appeal of tbe attorneys of' tbe Citizens' Savings Bank, suspended, from practice, by Judge Carpenter, for contempt, maintains in general such violation by advice to clients aud ac? ceptance of fee, of tbe order of the court on tbe part of tbe attorneys, as made thorn amenable to punishment. At the same time the offence is not re? garded as ono involving any moral dere? liction, or as intended as any disrespect or contumely to the presiding Judge. It is held, therefore, that the punish? ment was excessive. Also, that the con? ditions, on tho performance of which the suspension should terminate, were impossible to be complied with on their part, und so that it was impossible to effect any mitigation of it in that way. It U mildly suggested at tbe close, that ? tho attorneys shall add to their dis? claimer of intention to commit a con? tempt, a declaration of regret that the Judge hud misconceived their purpose and intention. The order of 12th of January, 1874, suspending the uttorneys and striking their names from the roll, is set aside, and the rule and returns remanded to tbe Judge for such further proceedings as he may regard proper thereou. The opiuion is written by Chief Justice Moses und appears meant to point out a way, not inconsistent with the dignity and self-respect of all parties, by which the difficulty may be terminated. Thu Result a Foregone Conclu? sion.?The election, yesterday, for Mayor aud Aldermen of Columbia, was devoid of the interest or excitement in? cident to stich occasions in the past. The minority or conservative element seem to have settled down to "masterly inactivity," and have despaired of all effort to bring the government back into hands that kuow no jobbing. There wus no opposition tiokct in Lhe field, and consequently "the party" stepped up to the ballot box, voted the "regular ticket," und retired, with tbe feeling of having discharged its duty to its conn try, its god, uud itself. Iu view of which, the usual chautioleer should be trotted out in the columns of "the party" organ this morning, aud pro- ? claim to the four quarters of the globe that Columbia has gone Republican by a tremendous majority. Of course, it would not be right for it to say that the Conservatives neither registered or voted; for that would make it appear that tbey only acquiesced in Republican rule by sheer inability to overthrow it. We feel proud to say, that the elec? tion was conducted quietly, and that we heard of no complaint against any of tbe managers. The devotees of Bacchus were nowhere, and many an eye wont dry the whole day through, for luck of John Barleycorn's dews.
