COLUMBIA, S. C. FridayMorning. April 10, 1874, Tne Iltgnts ??* AdverUsers. We published, some days ago, a doci i. -aiou of Judge John T. Greeu, uf the Third Judicial Circuit, iu which be holds that advertisements inserted aud paid for, conoorniog the settlement ol ?estates, by individuals, are not embraced under tbo law whioh designates official papers. >* It folio we that oitatious, letters for dismission, 'notices of sales of es? tates, sheriffs' Bales, &o., need not neces? sarily be put iu papers designated bb official. The advertiser ia at liberty to select any paper he > may choose. Ad ^cit?36S6ut? and notices whieh ha?e to 'tie paid for from public funds?State or -County?most go in the offioial paper. Presentments of tho grand jary, adver? tisements from the County Commission? ers* offlco and the Clerk of Court are in? cluded in this clasB. ?i The analysis of the law'by Jndgo Oreon is dear, and his conclusion justly xirawn. Persons who have to pay for advertising, have the right to select their own mbdluui. They nie hot obliged to insert them in an obscure, nou-ciroulat ing journal, merely becauBe it wears the ?"offioial" collar. _? i i t ? . . WlitUeinore'* Little Speed*. The Whittemoro delegation is leaving CO stone unturned that they-oan muke available, before, the eub-oommitteo of the House of Representatives, in their efforts to make the worse appear the -beUer ?eason. They have made a divi - aion of their Sisyphean labors. When ' --ih>jappeared before President Grant, "fh'e"cofigenwl task was assigned to L. ' Gass Carpenter to show that tho evils , complained of by the memorialists woro i all'imaginary. He"rounded off with a 1 disquisition upon the principles of freu ! - government. ? The President wan sensi- j affected. The rigid'features of tho i Sphynx relaxed, i The steel-trap mouth 1 opened, and, ont there cumo consoling 1 and apol?getio words. He coudesceud- ( 'Oil to say that the answer to tho charges < -was conclusive and satisfactory. He 1 ? became so. straight, in fact, that he j ? leant over a little. He denied that he j had said that South Carolina and Loai- i siana are badly governed. He did uot * believe what partisans said, &o., &o. I1 1 jce ?ouiforting, however, amid all our 'troubles, to think that wiadom will uot - -die with President, Grant. The next t scene iu this furoo was enaoted before ? the Sab-Judiciary Committee, where ? Elliott and Whittemare were tho priuoi- ( pal performers. The 'former spread | himself upon the oonstitutional ques- i lion, but iu doing this, knocked the ? .?premises of Carpenter from under his ' feet. The evils whiob Carpenter oha- J raoterizes as all bat a dream at beat, he < urgeB can be abated by conciliatory tao- 1 tics ou the part of the memorializing .party; that the thonghtful Republicans of the State were ready and anxious to co-operate with them to this end. We -shall wait to sea what "tactics" that the Conservatives o.m adopt are meant by Elliott. We have done nothing but try to "conoiliatA" the elements that rule > aud rain here for some years, but wo will .gladly'hear and fraukly consider any? thing that thoughtful Republicaus have 'to suggest. Wo como uow to Whittemore's part. He is always willing that his light shall shiue. Tho iuault of being twice kicked out of. Congress for selling a WeBt Point oadet?hip, would deter most men from re-appeaiing on that scene. But W. is of a forgiving spirit. He -consents to put out of view his own in? dignity, if, by ao doing, he can bolster tbo oauBO of the Sonth Carolina tax grabbers. Kuowiog perhaps better than any other man tbo extravagaueu und reoklessuess of ' ae State Government? bnviug, without exception, wo believe, originated or sustained every measure or job by which the people have been depleted of their hard earnings, he uu -blushingly denies the obarges of ex? travagant uso of the publio funds. Ho even asserts that taxation in South Cata? lina is not excessive. Thus does be out ..herod Herod. We learn that tbo money -1< he baa mado here, and it is said to bo a ? large amount, is principally invested in Maiden, Massachusetts. Because ho is exempt, and does not feel tbo woight of tho tax-gatherer's hand, he mocks the people whom ho holpa to oppress by ?ttOo!aimiug how light their burdeus -are. Theno misrepresentations are in? juries which will uot bo forgiven. Those men will yet be called to stern uccouut. It is bad enough for ono to devote bis talent and energy, his influence und efforts to tho injury and disgrace of a people. It is monstrous for him, when j the State is covered all over with the ? sores of fraud, when every houost tax? payer in it feels that tho tux levy is an ? ontruge upon his rights, aud that its proceeds oi^ly serve to stteugthen the chains which bind bis limbs and obafe his- spirit, to ensconce himself .-id a tax, bomb-proof and jeerat those yiho have the ?front to, bear.; Bot such things oanjj last foitsver. Tbe Q>y ot reokon io^T-wilL-Oppie, even Jn tt? vSucobW* Bute," ^_ Judge BIackeyva Charge to ma York At the reeent term of the Circuit Court for York County, Judge Mackey nrged tfjpo'ri tbe grand jury the necessity of etrlqfc.'inqairy into the udoaiuiatratiou of affairs by tbe County officers. He considered York peculiarly fortunate in haying an honest body of public of? ficers. The exception was worthy of re? cognition, "at a time when robbery aud plunder is lue mlu iu every official de? partment, of tbe State, without excep? tion,' and when official corruption stalks through the country." This has tho right ring about it. It is pitched iu a different key from the glaring falsehoods of the Whibtemore delegation at tbo foot of tho throne of Graut. Tbo following passage from tho charge of Judgo Muckey sbowa a right appre? ciation of tho deplorable condition of things, und points to remedies that urc both feasible and peaceful. The inti? mation at tho close of uuotbor sort, of chock to rascality, in case of their fail? ure, is very significant, indeed, when wo consider its source. Aud unless the villains take warning, and profit by tbo suggestions which come equally from Conservative and Ridioal quarters, they will find some day the hand of just in? dignation raised to check their infumous career: "Of 'the enormous taxes- paid for the support of public schools iu tbe State, with tbe exception of York County, all such schools in the Stato would bo closed bv tho first of May, in faco of the fact that $300,000 had been colleoted for the purpose of keeping them open. Nor is corruption coofined to this ouo feature alone. So notorious is the cor? ruption throughout every dopurtmout of the State Covernmcut, that it has ittrsoted tho attention of the whoio jivilized world. This corruption can july bo Checked by prompt, action of the courts and grand juries of the respec? tive Counties, which, in the opinion of his Honor, oan wield tbo necessary [jowdt; but tshonld they fail, so far us .ho speaker was coucerncd, ho should feel it to bo his duty to toll tho people to oheck it by tho might of tiicir own irtna." The New United States Treasurer. Mr. C. H. Baldwin, who wus, a few days tgo, confirmed as Assistant Unitod States Treasurer at this place, is it Northern man by birth. He nettled in Columbia before the war, and was for iome time engaged in business at that place. Sinee tbo war be attached him- ' self to'tbe Republican purty iu this Estate, and hold-several appointments at , iiflerent times in Columbia. He is at present Treasurer of Riobland County, ?tud rumor has it that he will be suc? ceeded in that office by ox-Comptroller Greuer&l Neugle, who has made fricuds with tbe Governor and seeks the ap? pointment. Mr. Baldwin will remove to Charleston and qualify this week. [News and Courier. "Jess So."?The facility with which Democrats have bucu unseated in tho ; House of Representatives and Republi- j cans put in their places by tbe Republi? can majority in that body, moves tho New York Herald to say: "Had all tho defeated Republican candidates at tbe last Congressional election contested tbo seats which they had lost, there is every evidenoe tbut beforo the olose of tho lirat session of tbo Forty-thirl Con gross, the House would be uuauimon.sly Republican." Tho defeated Republi? cans will, no doubt, regret tui-y hud not thongiit of this earlier. The Fiend Arrested.?Our runder? will be glad to lotiru that Andrew Me Loud, alias Andrew Cro ssling, tho negro fiend who attempted to outrugo tho per? son of Miss Mary Quick, near Bennetts ville, on Saturday last, nod afterwards cut her throat in order to prevent a dis? closure of bis crime, from tho effects of which she ban .since died, wan captured near Shoe Heel, Robeuoa County, yes? terday, nod was taken baok to South Carolina. Everybody will bo glad to learn that the villain has been urrestcd aud will most sdrely suffer the peuulty ho so justly merits.? Wilmington Mar. Tue Southern Side, on Anderson Vinns Prison.?This is tbo titlo of a work soon to be issued by Dr. Randolph Stevouson, late modioul director of the prison hospitals at Andorsonvillo. Its object is, by means of documentary evi? dence, to show how false huve boon tbe charges of cruelty made ugoinat tho muuagrmout of the Anderson ville pri? son. Tho work promises to be a valua? ble contribution to truth, aud as such should be welcome to tbe public of wbatevor section. Tho late Macon races are badly com? mented on. They uro said to bo mure jockeying coucorus. Tho judges tire worse blamed above all others. Tho com? plaint comes mostly from strangers who knew none of tho parties, aud who won money. Col. Bacon has published a card, saying bo will not nilow his horses to appear on tho track with thoso of Hitchcock & Co. and Lewis & Co. He says this is tbe cause of bis animals not appearing iu Macon and Selma. Mr. S.G. Spivoy, one of the oldost settlers of Muscogee County, Ga., is dead. -.-,?? Parttag Supper. Mb. Editor: The 6tone-0QUers om ployed at tho new post offkje, in this city, ia view of an early separation in consequence of the near completion of ,the.work, expended the surplus funds of [ithoit association in a sapper, on Mon? day evening last. Hating met ?t the building, they* marohed down Main street, headed by Mr. Hutobeon, with the bag-pipes. They arrived at Mr. MoKenzie'a restaurant at 8 o'clock, where little time was lost before the company was seated at a sumptuous sup par, provided by that favorite purveyor. Messrs. Hall and Cunoway occupied ro spcctivoly tbe.positions of obnirman aud croupier?the duties of which positions tbcy so ably aud laudiblydiscbarged as to reflect lasting credit on thomeelves and afford invariable satisfaction to the company. After heartily discmsing tbo bill of fare, the ohairmm, in a few brief but pointed remarks, acknowledged tho honor conferred ou him; said that of'.er about two years of a very successful sojouru iu Columbia, nil employed at the emotion of that stately edifice, which is rising up to beautify aud adorn this city, have now arrived ut a period ou tho Continus of a disjplntion that must uow very soou tuke place amongst us. Dnriug our companionship to? gether, we have learned much from one and anothor, both at tho skillful arts ot our profession and ou tho platform, whore reason aud intellect was the ruling tbome. We .?ometimos differed ou vari? ous questions that wure brought before us, but ull was dono for the best; if ever we wounded each others' feelings, I truest it was never deep; I hope they uever reaohel the heart, that great repository of all orjr hopes and fe-ars. Wu have assembled this night to beul all our bruises. We may boast of being inde? pendent of many things, but not ouo of us is indepondeut of the sweet friend? ship of his fellow-workmen. I see around this board to night representa? tives of the rose, the shumfock, the thistle and the palmetto; may they all prosper in every land where tboy arc planted; may tbe dew from the one.1 distill on the other to" nourish and j cherish them whenever tboy meet. J Geutleineu, as wo have uilorucd this city by the works of our bund?, let us by | onr good behavior this night adorn the ' pitgo of literature, also, with a cbarac- | ter which we ure worthy of, and let the j people of Columbia understand .that wo are not what we vero represented to be J on arriving here. ^ will not detain you ] longer. Let ns ull enjoy ourselves und i drink a cup of kindness for "AulJ. L-*uo ! ayne." '.. j Mr. Conoway, the croupier, in heartily endorsing the sentiments of the chair ruau, challenged tbo company to test bis appreciation of tbe bouor conferred ou i him iu his appoiutmcnt to that position j by sending up their glasses. The chairman then aunouuued the first toast iu the programme: Our Society?United we stand, di? vided we fall. Most ably responded to by Mr. Wm. Nicol. Song by Mr. Barry, ?'Strife betwoeu Labor aud Cash." The next regular toast was tbo laud we livo iu. Responded to by Mr. T. L. Johnes. Third toast?Tbo city of Columbia? wo wish you a glorious future. Re? sponded to by Mr. McKenzie. Fourth toast?Our past uud present officers?may tbo next society office en? title them to their back pay. Respond? ed to by Mr. A. Stewart. Fifth toast?Our invited guests. Re? sponded to by Mr. J. Ellsroad. Tho regular programme being gone over, tbe President intimated that vo? luntary toasfH, songs aud sentiments', were iu order. Tho success of our j trade, was proposed by Mr. Lark in. Several patriotic tongs und sentiments, i by Messrs. Job ties uud McCabe, wero well received. A humorous recitation, by Mr. Nicol, called forth unbounded , applause. "Absent Frieuds," iu u: touching manner, by the Chairman, was warmly responded to. Mr. Lirkiu, j under the impulse excited by the toast, j rendered "Home, Sweet Homo," on tho violin, in nn unusually artistic ruauner. j On being called upon, Mr. Stewart, in a j special bumper all round, gave "The' Lidiob," which called forth a whole- I smiled cheer, plainly showing that the stouc-ciltters' appreciation of the charms 1 of woman have been in no way lessened by their sojourn iu Columbia. "Green ' Grows tho Rashes," was called for and . giveu by Mr. Stewnrt, the company joining iu the chorus. The vocal part part of the entertainment was contri? buted to by tbo following gdnllemen: Mensra, G. Barry, McCabe, Stewart, Winden, Hutohius, Jos. Johnes, Llnttuu, Hutcbeou, Miller, Nicholson, Gill and Witze!!. Solos ou the violin, by Messrs. Lirkin uud Grant, aud by Mr. Hutcbeon, ou the bag-pipes, wero much appreciated. A voto of thanks was heartily accord? ed to the Coin mitt co of Arrangements, Messrs. Barry, Conoway und Wright ? their efforts to promote tho enjoyment and sociality of tho occasion being most unanimously acknowledged. A voto of thauks was also tendorod to the Chair in in n, whose abilities to do ample justice to tho position hud already bueu often tested with iuvariublo success. Tho vocal chorus of "Ho is a Jolly Good Follow," was sung with a gusto by the whole company, Iho proceedings wore tbeu brought to a clo.so by tho singing of "Atild Lang Syne," and beforo part? ing at tbo door, thero could bo heard, echoing from ovory comer, "three cheers for Mr. McKenzieI" W. N. Champagne Importation.?30,000 do? zen less bottles of Champague wore im? ported into this country in tho year 1873 thftu wore imported during 1S72. A more conclusive proof of bard times, temperance enthusiasm, "protection" to homo industry, aud tho increased manu? facture of carbonized Jersey cider could uot bo desired.

Dn Schenok's Standard Remedies. ?The standard remedies for all diseases of tho lungs are Schenotz's Pddmonk Sybup, Sohbnok's Bia Wbbd Tonic and Schenck's Mandrake Pills; and, if taken before the lungs are destroyed, n( speedy cure is effeoted. To these three medicines, Dr. J. H. Sahenok, of Phila? delphia, owes his'unrivaled success in , the treatment of pulmonary diseases. Tbo Pulmouio Syrup ripens tbe mor? bid mutter iu the lungs; nature throws it oil by uu easy expectoration; fcr when the phlegm or matter is ripe, a slight j cough will throw it off, tho patient has rest, aud tho lungs begin to beul. I To enable tbe Pulmonic Syrup to do this, Soheuek's Maudrake Pills and Scheuck's Sea Weed Tonio must bo ireely used, to cleanse tbe stomach and liver: Sohenck's Mandrake Pills act on the liver, removing ull obstructions, re? lax the gall bladder, the bile starts freely, uud the liver is snou relieved. Scheuck's Sea Weed Tonic is a gentle stimulant and, alterative. The alkali of which it is composed mixes with the food und prevents souring. It assists the digestion by toning up the stomach to a healthy condition, so that the form and the Pulmouio Syrop will make good blood; then tbo lnngs heal, and tbo pa? tient will surely get well, if care is taken to prevent lresb cold. ' All who wish to consult Dr. Sohenck, either personally or by letter, can do so at his principal office, corner of Sixth aud Aroh streets, Philadelphia, every Monday. Scheuck's medicines are sold by all druggists throughout the country.
