COLUMBIA, S. C. Saturday Morning. April 11, 1874. Moral Support. The ungracious reception by President Grant of the Committee of the Tax Payers' Convention has met with the most unqualified condemnation of the respectable Republican press of the country. The scene in whioh the Pre? sident figured so unfortunately was no? toriously doe to excited personal feel* ing, whioh had no justification in the extent to wh?oh'it was entertained, nor in the place or oircomst&nccs under whioh it was exhibited. We have ab 'Staiued from aatra cummeuis as it wui ' ? naturally provoke. In the sincere do. aire to hare oar aqadition rightly un? derstood and joatly appreciated in Washington, we have thought it advisa? ble for our people and the representa? tive conservative press to restrain the expression of disappointment, ohagrin and mortification which they felt at so unexpected, bo causeless and so petty a display of spite, where they had a right to expect finished oourtesy and masterly etntesmanbhip. It was- a splendid op? portunity for' the President to make friends worth, having, and in an hour to make an impression which could- only bo made iu a life time under less favor? ing cireumstanoes. But though spurned by President Grant from motives of mingled pique and dislike, the cause itself is not hurt. It stands before the country with additional claims to candid consideration. It asks nothing but justice, and it will not be content to take anything less. The animosity which has so long been cherished to? wards thB South is at last on the wane. Men oan no, longer ride on its waves into plac3s of power aud trust. New issues are brought forward. Old things and did prejudices are dying out. Per? secuting Radicalism is on its last legs. TUo sense of the country is that the Strife of sections' shall pease, that the Government shall bo made more homo geueohs, and'that the .States of the South shall be left free to work out their destiny in their own way. The matter of our complaint is now : before Congress. Some Republican journals condemn ns for sending it to ; the White House at all. "What has the i President," asks the Chicago Times, < "whose funotion is that of a servant, - and who is gradually but surely being sent to bis own proper official place, to ? do with affording relief to Sooth Caro? lina tax-payers, who. are plundered by Republican party tax-eatera on every Side?" Perhaps it was a mistake. It looks so now. Bat it was kindly meant. It was considered to be only a proper ? respect to the Ohief Magistrate. It has now gone where it will have a better chance. It may encounter blows; but there are those on the arena of Con? gress who will return them with inte? rest. Let the whole matter be tho? roughly aired. The very beet thing tobe ' done, after discussion in Congress, will be to seed a stroDg committee of its --members into South Carolina, to inves 5 tigate its condition, with power to send for persons and papers. We are content ? to abide tho issue. Congress may still do nothing directly in the way of relief after snoh investigation, but its moral effect here would be wholesome, and the facts it would elioit would be instructive to the rest of the country, and a perfect vindication of the movement of the tax? payers. As was conclusively shown by Mr. Porter to the Judiciary Committee, we have in this State an agrarian usarpa ; tion in form of law, and we ask of Con? gress the opportunity which the ap \ pointment of a committee will give, to _ unmask and unkennel the frauds now VbeiDg perpetrated. "If Congress," he I ? said, "should determine that there is no ! ? other remedy, the memorialists asked f for the moral support of Congress. Let the National Government rebuke these wrongs. Let these spoilers know fhat I they are expected to be honest, and to faithfully execute the great trusts re? posed in them by a confiding national legislature." Congress cau do much to relieve ns, without encroachment upon or interfor i once with tho principle of Stato bo? s' vereiguty. It would be easy to have the State Constitution so amended B9 to ' secure the representation of properly in the State Senate, by requiring the oleotore of Senators to be property holderr. The principle of minority representation, through the system of cumulative voting, would bring into tho public councils men who would adoru ] them. If President Graut and those who echo his platitude about tho dan I ger of interference in the affairs of a K sovoroign State, would only look clo.soly, I they would discover now existing tho I" very thing they reprobate. It was in E torference whioh placed tho State in its 1 present miserable condition. What but I Govornmo'-'protection bus euabled tho L 4 thieves to seize its political power and boia^ii for the last six,years? Mr. Greeley, whose penetration coqid not be deceived, said with troth, that bat for thei^orferepbe of^)Bebovei{a^enfclhej rogues', party at the Booth Oould not have been kept in existence. It is kept in existenoe to-day by the very same means?the eoateoance and moral sop port of the Government, its ready sym? pathy and its troops of soldiers. Away with the pretence that it would be wroDg to interfere in State affairs, at the very Cime that it ia done in a way the most insidious, dangerous and injuriops. It is the spirit thai kills. Things would rapidly grow better here, if the Govern mont would do us simple justice, aud range itself on tho side of honesty, in? tegrity and intelligence in the State. .-.-????? In tue Pillory. It is well for the Conservative- people of South Carolina, who are making efforts to have their condition amelio? rated by an appeal to the justice of the National Government and through the forco of enlightened public opiuion, that the tank of appearing for tho rottou and corrupt State Government has been committed to tho hands of tho Whitto more delegation. If men aro known by their companions, a cause maybe judged by its advocates. It was the maduess whioh preoedes destruction which urged suoh a party to place themselves in the attitude they now oeoupy. The rule of South Carolina had been already limned to the life in the pages of the Republi? can Fiko. The men who have it in control he describes as the pioked vil? lains of the community, the highway? men of the State, legislative and official robbers, aud in no sense different from or better than the men who fill the prisons and penitentiaries of the world. This was the photograph sent on in ad? vance, by whioh its representative men might be recognized. While with these disadvantages they ply the President with their little speeches about the 1 principles of free government, the low noes of the taxes, the imaginary charac? ter of the ills complsinod of, Judge . Mackoy opens a terrible fire in their 1 rear. ?< He charges that robbery and j plunder is the role in every offioial de- , partmeut of the State, aud that the i stench of its corruption offends the ' civilized world. And now before them 1 rises another high Republican authority j ?the New York Tribune?with a denuu- , oiation which is enough to freeze their blood in its veins. "The appearauoe of ? suoh a band of marauders as those who ( protest against reform, is a piece of j brazen impudenoe and unparalleled 1 effrontery." "The State Government made np of the worst thieves and plun? derers that ever infested any com? munity." We cau imagine the glee of Philosopher Square over "the fitness of things" whioh sent into the broad light of duy these jaok o' lanterns, represent? ing only rottenness, and glimmering dimly above the corruption whioh en? gendered them. The Result im Connecticut.? In Connecticut, a decided Democratic tri? umph has been achieved, and the State Legislature has been made so definitely Democratic as to insure the choice of a Democrat as United States Senator. Last year, the causes assigned for the defeat of tho Republican State ticket were various personal considerations and local disaffection in New Haven. This year, the Republicau candidates were of conceded personal popularity, and there was a large Democratic split, which out down Iugersoll's majority from upwards of 3,51)0 last year to about 2,GOO this year. Notwithstanding these disadvan? tages, the present Democratic State of? ficers have been re-elected by a majority a little less and a plurality even greater than last year, whilo both branches of the Legislature have beon carried by in? creased Democratic majorities. The re? sult coincides substantially with what took place in the Now Hampshire elec? tion. The verdict of the Connecticut people is claimed to huvo some national significance, and to indicate that the Republican Administration is in bad odor with the people, while inflation legislation may havo intensified the ro aotiou. It is twenty-ono years sinco the Democrats havo hud complete coutrol of Connecticut. Sinco Isaac Toncey left tho Senate, they have riot hud a United States Seuator. It io to bo hoped they will make a wise und beneficent use of their victory. Till tapping is effectually prevented by the use of Miles' Alarm Cash drawers.

REPUBLICAN.

That in oases of abatement where parties havo paid their taxes, the Comptroller-General is hereby author? ized and direoted to give said parties orders on tho Treasurer for the portion of tax abated, which shall be reooivablo for taxes if not paid in oaah. United States Court.?Tho grand jnry returned the following true bills for violation of internal revonae lavs: A. Walker, Stephen Gaugh, Abraham Gib sou, J. H. Bast. Obediah Parker, W. A. Law. The following cases were tried aud verdicts rendered: The United Statea against James W.

The Uuited Stuten against Toby Jones, co? lored, indioted for stealing property be? longing to the United States, was found guilty, but recommended to the cle? mency of tho court. The petition of Charles E. Baker, of Philadelphia, for Unal discharge in bankruptcy, wan re? ferred to Registrar Carpenter. The pe? titions of Edward F. Sweegan and H. F. Baker, of the firm of II. F.

Taa Pboskodtion of the Bishop of Glinda. ?The trial, oonviotion and sen tence to (oar years' impri?onment, with labor, Of the Catholic Bishop of Olioda. at Pernatnbuco, Brazil, on the 21 at' of FebrOsrj last, is a matter of no little in? terest to the Catholic world: The causes that led to the results above are suc? cinctly sot forth as follows: The issae arose oat of th<* interdict? ing by the Bishop of Oliuda of various Bemi-religioas brotherhoods, secular so? cieties, whioh were formed to promote the splendor of religious worship and to perform acts of oh inty aud mutual aid. The Bishop gave as ? reason for the .in? terdicts that they had not expelled all tho Free Masons among thorn. Legally the brotherhoods wero utterly without power to expel Free Masons, and, ou 1 appeal to tho crown, the Einporor, by advice of the wholo Council of State, hold that tho brotherhoods were, with? out power to obey tho Bishop's com? mand; that this was, therefore, exorbi? tant and tho interdicts unjust, and that tho Bishop be required to undo bis work and remove tho interdicts. Tho Bishop peremptorily refused to ob-y tho Empe? ror's order, though made in proper legal form, after consultation of the Council of State, aud dented tho jurisdiction of the temporal power aud the right of the brotherhood to appeal to it, alleging that appeal lay solely to tho Pope; ami to emphasize his position, proceeded to interdict somo twelve moro brother? hoods for the same motive. He also published, contrary to law, a brief from the Popo, without lirst obtaining the Government permission to do so. Tho legislative chambers were iu session at the time, and offered to give the minis? try auy special powers required by it to deal with the issues raised by the Bishop of Oliuda, and supported active? ly or verbally by tho other Bishops. The Government, however, held that tho Dew powers wero not necessary, aud determined to promote a prosecution before tho Supremo Tribunal of Justice. On the "second day of the trial, the Bishop of Bio Janeiro published a loug representation to the Emperor, appeal? ing to him to stop the prosecution ol the martyr, aud hinting that otherwise the Brazilian clergy would withdruw their support from tho dynasty. Toe trial, however, was continued with the result stated. A Jewish Rauui's Views on tub Whis? key. Crusade.?Rabbi Frouduuthal, of Williumsport, Pa., having received a letter from the womau's temperance organization of that place, urging him to appoint a committee of six Hebrew ladies to co operate with it iu a orusade, the Rabbi replies very sharply that it is impossible to fauaticisu an Israelite. Ho says the latter cauuot appreciate these crusades, because he drinks and is uo drunkard, plays and is no gambler, and lives well and is no glutton. The second poiut made by tho Rabbi is, that the Jew is no hypocrite. "If he driuks wine or stroug drink, or plays a game of oards, his wife and his children are not excluded from tho same pleasure. Whatever is not prohibited loses much of its charm. Those yonng people who drink a glass of wine or beer at their parent's table become no drunkards and no temperance fanatics." Third, the Rabbi decides that "any Jewish lady would consider it sacrilege and blas? phemy to abuse prayer and benediction for purposes of public demonstrations, iu whioh the wires are laid and drawn by politicians on one hand, and men who make money out of the affair on the other," and that there were "do whiskey amszous in the tents of Israel." Cremation vs. Inhumation.?The question of cremation, the burning of the dead, against inhumation or bury? ing of the dead, has gone no short dis? tance on its way to acceptance, when a publio meeting iu New York is called to discuss it. But it has gone further iu Switzerland aud Germany. At Zurich, where burial ground is growing con? tracted, 2,000 persons have subscribed toward an association founded in favor of burning tho doud. At Basic, thn movement has received tho public ap? proval of orthodox clergymen?also on the ground of promotion of health iu tho oommuuity. Iu Germauy, tho news? papers ure talking about the subject a groat deal, whilo one firm iu Berlin hns advertised tho invention of a now fur? nace, in whioh to perform the operation. Aud last, u church warden of a Hebrew synagogue iu tho same city has proposed to establish on a uow burial ground, lately acquired, one of these furnaces. ? . -?? ? ? It does not soem improbable that the Sumana Bay Company will succeed in bringing about a war betweon tho United States and Sauto Domingo. Having succeeded, by menus of fraud and bribe? ry, iu securing maguilicout concessions aud cuormons privileges from a so-called govcrumeut, tho company is now resist lug the annulment of its franchises aud calls upon tho United States for protec? tion. It is to bo hoped that General Graut, uuxious us ho has been and is for tho annexation of Santo Domingo, will hesitate boforo he precipitates his country iuto a war ut the bidding of u baud of speculators und for the protec tootion of their ilT-gotteu booty. - - - Ina Nut-Shkll. ? A writer iu the Ad? vertiser- Republican puts tho matter of the Southern Confederacy at rest thus: "The South with G00.000 fighting men, aud somo of the States divided at that, could not oonqner, whip or hold iu check 2,335,951, It was simply a physical impossibility. Lsonidas of old knew something about fighting against groat odds; his fate was our fate, ho far as regards tho result. But what true Southern man is not proud of tho glori? ous war record of tho South?" Rev. Edward Palmer has resigned his charge as pastor of tho Old Bethel Pres? byterian Church, iu Walterboro, of which he has been pastor for near half a century. Lawlessness in Missouri?Barb a it ihm Amidst CrvniizvrroN.?The Go? vernor of Missouri, in a recent message to the Legislature of that State, makes a very argent appeal for the en act moot Of a law to employ a sacret police force to pot down lawlessness. The Governor reveals' a sad history of the condition of things in Missouri when he says: "So far as tho ordinary councils are concerned, the machinery provided by your predecessors for the enforcement of the laws are ample, bat you, iu com? mon with the people of the State, are aware of tho faot that certain bauds of outlaws, in their disregard of all legal aud social obligations, have been for years past and still are among us, rob? bing and murdering with impunity, and defying the local officers residing iu the vicinities where their crimes are com? mitted. These desperadoes out, clay enter aud rob a bank, and in cold blood shoot down the cashier. Next they visit au agricultural fair iuoue of the richest and mo?t populous Counties of the State, and almost iu the midst of thou? sands of men, women and children, rub tho safe ooutaiuiug the treasure of tho association, shoot a young woman, and make good their escape. Soon again wu hear of them iu adjoining sister States, robbing and murdering. Anon, they reveal their presence iu Missouri, outer a town containing a population of huu tlrod-, rub a bank, aud shoot one of its officers. Soon afterward they stop u railroad train, pass through all the cars, rob the passenger?, apply their pistols to the heads of the mail uud express agents, und under the throat of instant death if they refuse, forco them to opcu their safes an i place their valuable con? tents iu their hands. Only a few weeks intervene tiutil we hear of them at the hour of 1 o'clock iu the morniog, with a prisoner in their possession, forcing the keepers of a public ferry across the Missouri River to transport them from tho North to the South side of the stream, und the following moruiug their prisoner of the preceding night is found a corpse iu the public road, riddled by their murderous bullets. Ten days do not intervene until they ure found iu pursuit of the officers of the law in St. Cluir County, aud the next news is that they have killed tbe Deputy Sheriff of tho County and wounded, perhaps mor? tally, a deteotive who was with him." The Question of How Much.?The reporters cf the New York World have been interviewing eminent medical men upon tbe question of the physical effects of alcohol. The result has been another illustration of the faot that "doctors dif? fer." Some saw harm in ulaohol, how? ever moderately usad, aud some be? lieve that iu certain cases it is, when temperately used, beneficial. They all agreed, however, that it ia very unde? sirable that a man should drink too much; but upon the poinfof how much ia too much, the experts differ widely. Still they ere unanimous that very little harm can come to a mau from not drink? ing at all, or drinking very sparingly, unless the man is seriously sick, in which case be ought to call in a physi? cian aud leave it to him to decide the question of his drinking. A very curious item of news, it is said, might be gleaned from the books of a good many of our merohants, who, in the spirit of trade and good faith which characterizes our business men, have in some oases trusted tbe pnblio officials and filled their orders. The term "sun? dries" and "legislative expenses" might be explained very satisfactorily in this way. How the State can possibly need dry goods, wet goods, furniture and such articles is more than we can under? stand. It certainly does need furniture, but the furniture bill did that work ef? fectively. Our bard working, honest merchants, who are the bone aud sinew of our rising city, should not permit themselves to be victimized, at least without a struggle for their yist dues in opeu court, ? Union-Herald. Iu connection with some remarks upon the strike of the printers iu New Orleans, because of the reduction of the price paid them for composition, the Republican saye: "Nouo of the New Or loaus papors havo baeu self-sustaining during the past year. The Times has fallen into the hands of its paper mer? chant, who does uot think he bus drawn a prize. The Picayune, after experi? encing adversity, finally was sold by the Sheriff for one-fifth of what it cost a year before. Tho Bie also has been published at the exponso of tho owners. The doors of the Republican havo been kopt open by the gains of the job office, which have been entirely absorbed iu the expense of publishing tho daily." Whose turn next? Arrested for Murder ?Wo learn thut four young men, residing in the vicinity of Beunettsvillo, were arrested last Monday, <.nd curried to jail, charged I with tho murler of a black ravish er near that place, some time last full. The man had attempted to ravish an old idiotic lady, and the yonug men, ns soon ns thoy heard of tho outrage, looked him up aud interviewed him. Afterwards the ravishor turned up missing aud his body was only found last Monday, iu the woods near Beunettsvillo, when war? rants were produced aud tho four young meu were urrestod aud lodged iu jail. 1 Wilmington Journal. ? -?~ - - A poor family iu Dennison, Ohio, consisting of u husband, a wife and seven children, were ou tho point of starvation.

Phoenixiana.?Sorrow comes soon enough without despondenoy; it does a man no good to carry around a light niug rod to attraot trouble. Poverty is elegantly mentioned by one who knows whereof he speaks as a painfully conspicuous absence of indis? pensable funds. Jones says he always makes up his mind regarding the value of a horse by the abuudauce, length and beauty of the tail, for it is a well-attested fact that "all's well that ends well." Why so many young people should be in haste to marry just after Lent, and before they have had time to enjoy themselves, "is one of those things no fellow can find out." The Old Newspaper.?An ins trac? tive lesson may be drawn from the columns of the old newspapers. You meet with names that seem once to have been on every tongue, bat now are never mentioned; authors of new books, whioh the reviewer confidently handed down to the admiration of all ages, bnt whioh somehow have failed to reach our age; popular preachers, whoso sermons have sent no echo to our ears; politi? cians, who fill whole columns of the paper, but have long since retired to an undiscovered privacy; swarms of dukes, princes, generals and captains, who played prominent parts in the tragedies or farces in those days, but of whom We are totally ignorant uutil we saw the old uewspaper.
