COLUMBIA, S. "CT Thursday Morning, May 28,1874. Tb? Civil Rights Bill. The Senate voto in favor of ibe Civil Bights Bill stood 29 for to 18 againat it, three Bepublioana?Carpen? ter, of Wisconsin, Lewis, of Virginia, and Boreman, of West Virginia?vot? ing with the minority. The vote for it in the: House was 153 to 84?uot j two-thirds.. There were nine South? ern Republican votes, againat it. It passed the'Senate by nearly a strict ???iy Ve^^hiiime assies! of par tisanship appears iu tho vote in the House. It ia bo, far defeated there, bot will no doubt come up again. It is a meaaare whioh is intended to so oore the negro.vote, at tbo expense of the remainder of social rights left to the people of the Son thorn States, and to the manifest injury of the co? lored people themselves. The oiroum stances all go to show that the matter hid boon arranged in oauous. It is the last card whioh the Republican party has to play, in order to win a prolonged existence. It is a desperate and reckless game, but We cannot con? ceive of one batter calculated to break op aud eventually ruin a party. The hopelessness of intelligent and consi? derate opposition to it within the party, and the neoessity imposed upon every one to sustain it, even against his convictions, may be seen by gluno Ing at one,or two facts. Mr. Sargent, Ssuatpr from Califor? nia, moved uu amendment, that the bill should not bo oouatrued to prevent the organization of separate schools in anj State or aohool district, provided that there, should be no difference in ?the conduot of the same, and that eaoh abould receive au equal allowance from tbe public fund for school pur? poses. Mr. Stewart, of Nevada, said he wus opposed to mixed sohools, aud did not believe they wonid promote bhe interest of tho colored people. He characterized the measure as intended to conciliate 600,000 negro voters. He believed that if it was not for them, there wonld not be five votes in favor of Bontwell's amendment, one the op? posite of Sargent's, and, as explained by its author, embodying tbe 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 ugly consequences, and the defeat of their purpose to have it stop short of them, they eventually aooepted and sustained the measure whioh. they could not get modified in any way to avoid them. The passage of such a bill will tie the opening of another Pandora's box. It is meant to provoke and con? firm tbe antipathies of race and cast, by disregarding those distinctions that God himself has made. It puts down an arbitrary platform' and bids all stand upon it. It is tbe bed of Pro ousLes, which all'most lie upon, what? ever . their length. Its -immediate object is party success through con? tempt of tbe rights, and by trampling upon tbo sensibilities of the people. But its ultimate effect wonld be wide? spread mischief and the overthrow of the political party whioh has been pro? lific of trouble to the country. -?-??-.-. Congressional Inter-State Free Schools Senator Stewart has proposed an? other artiole to the Constitution of the United Slates. It is meant to compel every State to maintain a oommou school system, free of charge, accessi? ble to all persons between five und eighteen years of ago, uot incapaci? tated for the same. Tho pupils aro to receive such elemuntary instruction us Congress may prescribe. Iu caso u State fail iu this, Congress .-hall have power to establish such system of sohools within it, and mulot the Slate for the expenses. This may not be, but looks like a threat held up against tho Southern SlateB whioh may not r. lish the Civil Rights Bill. It indi? cates a new trouble to be brewing. If tho Civil Bights Bill should become a la* it will be inoperative as such, but will break up the school system of severui States which now contribute largely to it, end of which the colored people enjoy tho benefit. Stewart's resolution is meant to make it obliga? tory on the.. States. to ,keep it up; obligatory, hi other words, to have the races educated -in tbe same sohools, whether the people of tbo States like it or not. What a descent in states? manship singe tho days of Oalhouo, Webster and Clay! What ideas of tho rights of tho people und sovereignty of States circulate iu the brains of these poor apologies for statesmen! Au enforced equality, scoured at all bazirds, aud in violation of all right of States aud of the citizen, is the 'cheat ?tUiarooni to"wmoh" the pre sent ruling statesmanship can aspire.

A great ohange has taken place in that brief time. No 'stronger proof could be given than tho letter of "honest" John J.'Patterson to the Seoretary of War, deprecating a renewal of this invidious distinction. When such men see, you may be sure there is a bright light abroad. "Honest" Johu has a gush of senti? ment, something like that of Joseph Surface. He lets it flow with a rush like Mill River, right at the Secretary of War, and lol it passen on, aud bub? bles up in the columns of the newspa? pers everywhere. But honesty and sentimentality are not the sole merits of "honest" John. Like Joey Bog stock, he'a "develish sly." H>< adroit? ly inserts in bis pathotio effusion lotB cf compliments to the "nation," its grant of amnesty, its muguauicnity, its forgiveness, &o., and thus guards him? self against all imputation of disaffec? tion and disloyalty. Blessed, blessed, blessed nation! Honest John is all right on that point. He next iojects a little stump speech into Inn tender appeal, by whioh ho sets forth oivil rights so splendidly that all must bow down and worship. You wou't catch "honest" Johu negleoting business, even though ho become, in concern for tho poor buried Confederate.*, "like Niobe, all tears." Really, now, "honest" Johu, this is too much. We shall have to protest, ungracious as it may seem, if you go on in this way. Spare us tho embar? rassment of trying to return compli? ments. Excuse u9 for saying thut the theme is uot appropriate to your meditations. Those Pennsylvania ac? complishments which you brought into South Caroliua, wherewith to de? velop her resources, aud to crawl into placos of power, are not in harmony with it. Think of "your feat in whis? pering slander iuto tho President's ear and poisouiug bis unsophisticated mind against the tux-payers; thiuk of how you distilled tho poison of ca? lumny in his ears; think of all this, dear, honest John, and let the Confed? erate dead rest in peace. Engine and Train or Cars Levied On.?The County Treasurer, Dr. J. P Latimer, yesterday, levied on the en? gine General William R. Eisloy and a train of six cars, to satisfy a tax execu? tion. Oaptain Earle, attorney for the company, has brougbt suit against tho Treasurer, laying the damages at 830,000. The Air Line Railroad Com? pany claim that, under the charter, they are not subj^ot to tux; that they enjoy all the privileges, immunities and exemptions of the Greenville and Columbia and South Carolina Rail? roads, and at tbo time their charter was granted these roads were free from taxation for a certain period. I Last eveniug, the train was released, the company giving bond in on amouut double the sum of the tux claimed. This aotion of the oompauy will put the case squarely before the courts [Greenville News.

Sko?bb an Acquittal,?A rucoor reaohed the oara of Solicitor - Balls Taeaday thai Humbert, the defaulting {L'rejuure$ ot> Omugeburg County, who s to] bo, made a State's witness In the ritaj of "Governor Moses for. grand aroatny, on Friday next, had come to thejfcity on the night traiu of the South Carolina Railroad, and Intended to depart for New York on the steatn ship Champion, which sailed yester? day. As soon us he beard the report the Solicitor, whr, nuppectcd that aome effort would bd made by tho Governor to get Humbert out of the way, went down to the steamer a few moments before her departure, and requested permission from Oapt. Lockwood to search the boat. This was cheerfully accorded, and the Solicitor, in com? pany with the Deputy Sheriff, who nc oompanied him, made a thorough search of tbo steamer, but failed to ?ud uny truces of tbo missing Hum? bert. The Solicitor then sent tho fol? lowing telegram to Judge Graham, at Orangeburg: Hon. Ii. F. Graham. Orangeburg, S. G : Rumor says that Humbert bus lot; Orangeburg. la it so? C. W. BUTTZ. To this the following unsatisfactory answer was reoeived: To G. W. Bultz: There is no such rumor here. R. F. GRAHAM. Mr. Buttz then immediately tele? grapher! to other parties iu Orange burg, to hud out if Humbert had left there, but up to a lute hour, had not received au answer. It is thought that Moses, who would not ullow himself to be arrestei, and would not give bsil, but promised to stand bis trial, bus it iu view to e e ipe the unpleasant revolutions whioh will bo developed ou the trial, uud with ibis object, will make an effort to got Humbert out of the way. It is well kuuwn that he promised Humbert to pardon Iiim, if he would stand his trial and plead guilty; but, by the ad? vice of his counsel, Humbert refused to consent to this little arrangement. Having failed in this, the ouly resource left his Excellency is to persuade Hum? bert to decamp, aud this is possibly the game that is now being played. If, as is snspeoted,'Humbert has been persuaded to absent himself, the Go? vernor will promptly appear at Oraugc burg to stund bis trial, aud hii acquit? tal must certainly follow, Humbert bom- the witness upon whom tbo State relies to convict ttie Governor of lar? ceny. In case of his flight, the Soli? citor promises to spare uo efforts to secure his re-arrest. We shall see. [Charleston Neies and Courier.

Adveutisino ?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 the reign of James I. The first actual ad? vertisement on record, however, ap? peared in 1G52, iu the Mercurius Po liticus, beiug a notice of a book eulo? gistic of Cromwell's campaign in Ire? land. Apropos of this circumstance, we may stute here that booksellers wore, for a long time, the most exten? sive advertisers, and it is characteristic of their sound business sense that tboy still rely utmost entirely upon tho same meuns of calling the public at teutiou 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 "tay," or "tee," at n London coffee house, published about a year beforo the death of Cromwell. We learn from this old advertise? ment that tea and coffee were then be? ginning to come into nse. Indeed, the etudent of history can get no truer insight into the manners and modes of life of those days, than by consultiug th- advertising columns of tho public journals. In the time of Charles II newspapers did a thriving business in advertisements, and it was during his reigu that notices of public amusements, theatrical and others, were first advertised. In tho reign of James II the liberty of tho press was greatly Curtailed, and the advertising business was at a low ebb. When, however, under the more liberal rule of William III, 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 iu the case of a journal pub? lished in Eliuburgh and one in Dub? lin. In the United States, business men advertise even more extensively than in Great Britain, though there are in? dividual instances of expenditure in this direction 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 iu this way $150,000 per annum; the virtues of Maoasaar oil have beeu mide known to the world at a cost of $50.000 annually, and of ood liver oil ut the same rate. It is a most signifi? cant fact, and a rebuke to the timid, parsimonious tradesman that these immense outlays have been found pro? fitable. It is now too lato in the day to be? gin questioning tb>_ advautage of ad? vertising?that is a conclusion estab? lished by actual and undoubted re? sults. Again, newspapers are tbo most available uod effective means for tho purpose. It is true that there are countless other methods, some of which may be attended with a degree of success; but tho newspaper reaches mure people, and reaches tuem morn impressively than auy of them. A poster ou a dead wall may attract the careless glance of an idie passer-by; but such a person, if he lingers long enough tu road, is likely a man with? out much business or money, and his patronage under those conditions is neither to be expected nor desired. The theme is fruitful, but we will not enlarge upon it uow. It is enough to say that tho necessity of advertising bus been reaognized by the practice of centuries, und many colossal fortunes attest its efficacy. List or New Advertisements.
