COLUMBIA, S. IT Thursday Morning. May 28,1874. The Civil Rights Bill. The Senate vote in favor of ibe Civil Bights Bill stood 29 for to 1$ against it, three Bepublioans?Carpen? ter, of Wisoonsin, Lewis, of Virginia, and Boreman, of West Virginia?vot? ing with the minority. The vote for it in tho Houbo was 153 to 8i?dot two-thirds. These were nine South? ern Republican yotoa against it. It passed th* ?Sonate by nearly a strict patty-VoMk' SiM,j??m"e amount of par? tisanship ' appears in the vote in the House/ It ia. lo/far defeated there, bot will no doubt coma op again. It is a measnre whioh is intended to se? cure the negro, vote, at the expense of the remainder of serial rights left to the people of the Sonthern States, and to the manifest injury of the co? lored people themselves. The circum? stances all go to show ?bat the matter bid been arranged.in oanoos. It is the i last card whioh the Repnbliean party has to play, in order to win a prolonged existence. It .is a desperate and reckless game, but wo cannot con? ceive of one bettor calculated to break tip add eventually ruin a party. The hopelessness of intelligent and consi? derate opposition to it within the party, and the necessity imposed upon every one to'sustain it, even against his convictions, may be seen by glanc? ing at one,or two facts. Mr. Sargent, Seuator from Califor? nia, moved an amendment, that the bill should not be construed to prevent the organization of separate schools in any State or school district, provided that there, should be no rlifferopce in Ibe conduct of the same, and that each shoold receive an equal allowance from the public fund for school pur? poses. Mr. Stewart, of Nevada, said he wue opposed to'mixed schools, and did not believe they wonid promote the interest of tho colored people. He oburaoterized the measure as intended to conciliate 800,000 negro voters. He believed that if it was not for them, there would not be five votes in favor of Boutwell's amendment, one the op? posite of Sargent's, and, as explained by its author, embodying the purpose of having all children, blaok and white, educated together, in order that , all prejudice might be eradicated. But, notwithstanding the anticipation, on the part of these two Senators, of ogly consequences, and the defeat of their purpose to have it stop short of them, they eventually accepted and sustained the measure which they could not get modified in any way to avoid them. The passage of such a bill will be the opening of another Pandora's box. It is meant to provoke and con? firm the antipathies of race and cast, by disregarding those distinctions that God himself has made. It puts down as arbitrury platform' and bids all stand) upon it. It is the bed of Pro onstea, wbioh air most lie upon, what? ever their length. Its immediate object is party success through con? tempt of the rights, and by trampling upon the sensibilities of the people. But its ultimate effect wonid be wide? spread mischief and the overthrow of the political party whiob has been pro? lific of.trouble to the couutry. ?-? Congressional lnier-sute Free Schools Senator Stewart has proposed an? other artiole to the Constitution of the United States. It is meaut to compel every State to maintain a oommou school system, free of charge, accessi? ble to all persons between five uud eighteen years of ago, uot incapaci? tated for the aamo. Tho pupils uro tu receive such elementary instruction us Congress may proscribe In cuso u State fml iu this, Congress shall huvu power to establish such system of schools within it, and mulct the Slate for the expenses. This may uot be, but looks like a threat held up against tho Southern States wbioh may not relish the Civil Rights Bill. It indi? cates a new trouble to be brewing. If tho Oivil Rights Bill should become a law it will be inoperative as such, but will break up the school system of several States which now contribute largely to it, and of whioh the colored people enjoy the benefit. Stewart's resolution is meant to make iL obliga? tory on the . States to keep it up; obligatory, in other words', to have the races educated 'in the same sohools, whether the people of tho States like it or not. What a descent in states? manship since the days of Oalhoun, Webster and Clay t What ideas of the rights of the people and sovereignty of States oironlate in the brains of these poor apologies for states men!

A great ohange bus taken pluce in that brief time. No 'stronger proof could be giyen than the letter of "honest" John J. Patterson to the Secretary of War, deprecating a renewal of this invidious distinction. When such men see, you may bo euro there is u bright light ?broad. "Honest" Johu has a gush of senti? ment, something like that of Joseph Surface. He lets it flow with u rush like Mill River, right at the Secretary of War, and lol it passes on, and bub? bles np in the columns of the newspa? pers everywhere. But honesty and sentimentality are not the solo merits of "honest" John. Like Joey Bog stook, he's "develish sly." II ? adroit? ly inserts in his pathetic effusion lots cf compliments to tho "nation," its grant of amnesty, its muguauimity, its forgiveness, &c, and thus guurds him? self against all imputation of disaffec? tion and disloyalty. Blessed, blessed, blessed nation! Honest John is all right on that point. He next injeats a little stump speech into his tender appeal, by wbioh bo sets forth civil rights bo splendidly that all must bow down and worship. You won't catch "honest" John negleotiug business, even though he become, in concern for tho poor buried Confederates, "like Niobe, all tears." Really, now, "honest" John, this is too much. Wo shall have to protest, ungracious as it may seem, if you go on in this way. Spare us the embar? rassment of trying to return compli? ments. Excuse us for saying thut the theme is uot appropriate to your meditations.

Engine and Train of Cars Levied On.?The County Treusurer, Dr. J. P Latimer, yesterday, levied on the en? gine General William K Eisloy und a train of six cars, to satisfy a tux execu? tion. Captain Earle, attorney for the company, has brought suit against the Treasurer, laying the damages at 830,000. The Air Line Riilroud Com? pany claim that, under the charter, they uro not subject, to tux; that they enjoy all the privileges, immunities and exemptions of the Greenville and I Columbia and Sonth Carolina Rail? roads, and ut the time their charter weh granted these roads were free from taxation for a certain period. 'Last evening, the train was released, the company giving bond in an amount double the sum of the tax claimed. This action of the company will put the case sqnarely before the oourta [Oreetiville Neics.

Tuesday that Hambort, the defaulting ;|L'reSBure> of,. Oraugeburg County, who Istfi bo made, a State's witness la the IrTui ot 'Governor Moses for grand ilardt ny, on Friday next, had come to shempity on the night train of the Sooth Carolina Railroad, und Intended to depart for New York on the steam ship Champion, which Bailed yester? day. As soon on ho heard the report the Solicitor, who suspected that effort would bs tpade;bytbo Governor to get Humbert out of the way, went down to the steamer a few moments beforo her departure, end requested permission from Cunt. Lockwood to search the boat. This wuh cheerfully accorded, and the Solicitor, in com? pany with thu Deputy Sheriff, who ac oompanied him, made a thorough search of the steamer, but failed to hud uny traces o' thu missing Hum? bert. The Solicitor then sent thu fol? lowing telegram to Judge Grahum, at Orangebn rg: Hon. J{. F. Graham, Orangeburg, S. G: Rumor says that Humbert has lull Oraogeburg. I? it bo? O. W. BUTTZ. To this the following unsatisfactory answer was received: To G. W. Buttz: There is no such rumor hero. B. F. GRAHAM. Mr. Butlz then immediately tele? graphed to other parties iu Orange burg, to find out if Humbert had left there, but up to a Into hour, had not received au answer. It is thought that Moses, who would not allow himself to he arreste j, and would not give bail, but promised to stand bis trial, bus it iu view to e.- c ipo the unpleasant revolutions which will bo developed ou the trial, und with this object, will make itu effort to get Humbert out of the way. It is Well known that he promised Humbert to pardon him, if he would stand bis trial and plead guilty; but, by the ad? vice of his counsel, Humbert refused to consent to thia little urraugemeut. finving failed in this, the ouly resourcu left his Excellency i* to persuade Hum? bert to decamp, and this is possibly the game that is now being played. If, an is enspeoted,'Humbert has been persuaded to absent himself, the Go? vernor will promptly appear at Orange burg to stund inn trial, and an acquit? tal must eertaiuly follow, Humbert hoiug the witness) upon whom thu State relies to oouviot the Governor of lar? ceny.

It can evon bo maintained that the sun of tho present summer shines with the sume splendor as when, myriads of ages before man appeared ou this plauet, it stimulated the growth of those luxuriaut forests which formed, by their decay, thoso vast beds from whioh we derive our coal.

ApvEiiTisiso ?The history of jour? nalism is tho history of advertising. The worlds of daily literature and of business have been, through this me? dium, mutually dependent and helpful almost from the establishment of the first regular English newspaper, whioh took place in the year 1622, during tho reign of James I. Tho first actual ad? vertisement on record, however, ap? peared iu 1(352, in the Mercurius Po lilicus, beiug a notice of a book eulo? gistic of Cromwell's campaign in Ire? land. Apropos of this circumstance, we may ?t?te here that booksellers were, for a long time, the most exten? sive udvertisera, and it is characteristic of their sound business sense that they still rely almost entirely upon tho same means of calling the public at? tention to their wares. The first ad? vertisement paid for by a London tradesman, not a bookseller, was one announcing the salo of tea, then spelled "toy," or "tee," at n London coffee house, published about a year before I he death of Cromwell. We learn from this old advertise? ment that tea and coffee were then be? ginning to come into use. Indeed, the student of history can get do trner insight into the manners and modes of life of those days, than by consulting the advertising columns of tho public journals. In the time of Charles II newspapers did a thriving business in advertisements, and it was during his reign that notices of public amusements, theatrical and others, wore first advertised. In the reign of James II the liberty of tho press was greatly curtailed, and the advertising business was at a low ebb. When, however, under tho more liberal rule of William HI, the press grew once more into import? ance, advertising became so remune? rative and popular that we find a jour? nal published at that time, gratuitous? ly circulated and limited to advertise? ments, actually keeping itself alive for a space of two years. The plan is now more practicable, and has proven a success in the case of a journal pub? lished in Elinburgh and one in Dub? lin. In the United Statei, business men advertise even more extensively than in Qreat Britain, though there are in? dividual instances of expenditure in this direotion on the part of British merchants unparalleled, with one ex? ception, on this side of tho Atlantic. For example, a vendor of pills has spent in this way $150,000 per annum; the virtues of Macassar oil have been mtde known to the world at a cost of $50.000 annually, and of cod liver oil ut the same rate. It is a mo6t signifi? cant fact, and a rebuke to the timid, parsimonious tradesman that these immense outlays have been found pro? fitable. It is now too lale in the day to bo gin questioning the advantage of ad? vertising?that is a conclusion estab? lished by actual and undoubted re? sults. Again, newspapers are the most available and effective means for tho purpose. It is true that there are countless othor methods, some of which may be attended with a degree of success; but the newspaper reaches more people, and reaches tnem moro impressively than auy of them. A poster ou a dead wall may attract the careless glance of an idle passer-by; but such a person, if he lingers long enough to road, is likely a man with? out much business or money, and bis patronage under those conditions is neither to be expected nor desired. The theme is fruitful, but we will not enlarge upon it now. It is enough to say that tho necessity of advertising bus been recognized by the practice of centuries, und many colossal fortunes attest its efficacy. List op New Advertisements.
