COLUMBIA, S. C. Friday Morning, Jane 5, 1874. The Immorality Government. An intelligent correspondent baa seat us au elaborate disquisition on "Government, moral and partisan," from which,: though too long for inser? tion as a whole in one issue of our paper, it will afford us pleasure to eeleot some thoughts occasionally. The subject has fascination for us, both in the abstract and the concrete, ?9 a study in the pages of political ?philosophy, and as a reality whose . ugly presence and oppressive charac? ter we daily see and feel. We live <auder a despotic numerical majority, marked by all the evils which un? checked license breeds. The antago? nistic olaBses of tax-payers and tax -consumers, antagonistic in all govern* meats, are. here, owing to peculiar oironmstanaee, brought into sharper /opposition than anywhere olae that we have read of. It is the Controlling 'interest and almost the Bole policy of the dominant majority, substantially without property of their own and without intelligence or fitness tu go . vern, to steadily increase the taxes ? and disbursements. Upou these they live and from these they derive their consequence. The influences which -ordinarily hold this tendency in check, are utterly unknown here. Interest, .revenge, ignorance,' raoe and class, pride and opportunity are the motive powers which drive them on. Under ?*Ahe operation of the system as it now ? exists, one class, property holding, intelligent and cultured, is impover . ished/and weakened; the other, the in? struments of thin infliction, oonsti t tuted of tha prolelaire, are advanced to woalth.ui.ud .power. That is what is \ going on under our eyes. From it vaivilizalion is perishing rapidly. What power on earth, asks oar cor? respondent, can >do right or wrong on ho vast a scale ?s the Government? .Where Js ihe*e such an accumulation ol respyvusibilit) as in the Govern? ment? What haud so holds in its grasp the weal or woe of millioua liv? ing and millions yet unborn as the Go? vernment? We are born members of a State, and we are bound to be in subjection to the powers tbat be, by -?Mveiderations superior to our will. TFhe question of national morality, in every branch of it, is therefore one of profound concern to every individual. iShe sort of government npou which -we have embarked claims the proud title of self-government. The very word expresses moral restraint. It points to conscience as the basis, with? out which everything must eink to ruiu. We may point to rising cities and increasing eomuaerae, to the ex 'tension of manufactures, to vast tillage aud to the stupendous growth of na? tional wealth; but if we are becom ingress virtuous und religious, if cor? ruption exists in the midst of our prosperity, we know that ere long our flourishing honors will tumble down ?od be succeeded by misery and shame. .National growth mast produce noble men, or the glory of national ex? istence is frustrated. It is not dis? paraging the present in comparison with the past to admit a sad inoreaae of political immorality. And it is in ?the aotion of Government itself tbat corruption has most entered. -?-??-? Collect Useful Information. "Wo notice that oanvasserB aro out ?oanvassing the townships to procure statistics concerning the orops. This is in accordance with the sobeme of the National Grange to collect authen? tic information, to bo digested by u bureun in its service und furnished to the plautiug and farming interest of" the couutry, and to boards organized iu its behalf. We observe that there -is activity in this mutter iu Fairlield, and thut C iptuil) Stuck, of this County, will canvass Us section lying next to Fairfield. Wo thiuk it would bo advisable, -while these gentiemou aro gathering -this useful information, thut tbey should tuku note of the numbers and status, and, in a general way, the con? dition of the qualified voters of the townships through which they muy pass. We need this sort of iuformu ?tiou very much, and it would cost 'these canvassers very little trouble to eoileot it. We should ho pleas, d to ??receive at this office, from every quar? ter of the State, udd to publish for genorul information, nuy facts of this ? character which portions muy have cor ?rect kuowledge of. Wo trust that the suggestion thrown out may be acted upou. The oousus of 1870 of this State is notoriously inoorrect, and cal? culated to mislead. Resides, muny changes have taken plaoe since that -dato, which it behooves us to kuow. The "flag of our TJoion" flien at half mast from a high polo just eat up before Senator Hollirfehead'a office, iu Abba*ille. Whether it calls for mourn? ers for Hollipshead himself or the empty treasury of the Couuty, or for the crucified honor of buried credit of what was once kuowu as South Caro? lina, is a question, for Radical nut crackers. The editor of the Union, who is to address the faithful of Abbe? ville upon the "duties of tho hour," this evening, had butter try his jaw tipon it. ? ???>? Columbia, Juno 4, 1874. Mr Editoh: Permit mc, through tho columns of your paper, to thank the citizens of Columbia for the baud some reception, last eveuing, of I ho "Columbia Choral Union," und, par? ticularly, the audience, for their appa? rent hearty appreciation of our first effort. If a succees, tho praise is duo to Professor Evans for his eflicieucy us a teacher, his patience us a conductor, and hi; deportment us u plcusuut geu tlemau. He, and Professors Deuek and Koepper will pleusu accept our thanks. Respectfully, C. J. IREDELL, Chairman "Columbia Choral Uuiou." FtKST FltLTT of THE ClVIL RlOHTS I Bill.?From published reports of tho proceedings of tho decoration of Uuiou soldiers' graves at tho National Cemetery, Memphis, the all'.iir was ouc of the most disgraceful ever witnessed, and tho scenes euueted by drunken negroes ware u disgrace to the occa? sion. There wero probably not moro than a dozen white persons preseut, and Tom Swan, (colored,) president of the pall-bearers, had taken churge of the ceremonies. Tho cemetery is situated some five miles out on the Louisville lUilroud. When the vari? ous colored societies arrived there they found a number of refreshment stands erected, where luucheoo was offered for sale. Tom Swan detailed a portion of his crowd- armed with muskets, to breuk them up, whioh was carried out by threatening to shoot tho owners; one or two of whom saved their lives by fleeing to the woods, while the crowd of negroes seized upou and ap? propriated to their own use all the edibles. Mr. Pope, who bad u regu? larly hocused grocery uear the gate, was next visited and made to pay $25 for permission to seii, though he ex? hibited hia State and Federal license. A uegro woman named Golddcy was then robbed of $11. They then rushed to the grocery sioro of Felix Murtiu, neur by, yelling, "Let's drive the d?d rascals off." Mr. Martin and his assistant were driven iuto the house, pursued by the mob, indulging in the grossest obs^euity uud profauity. Mrs. Martin was seized by the mob, her pocket torn open, aud the money taken. A guard was then placed around the house, aud the remainder proceeded to the orator's stund, where Ed. Shaw, the colored wharf-mister, harangued them on civil rights, which was loudly uppluuded. He was follow by Geu. Smith, collector of port, who made an address appropriate to the occasion. FxitE ?Our cittzeus wero aroused from their slumbers Saturday mm u- i ing, by the cry of tire. It proved to ' be the two-story wooden building, the j property of Mr. J. B. Boy J, situate in the very heart of tho town. The flames had made such progress wheu first discovered, that no efforts were made to have the burning building, but every exertion was put forth to confine the tire to this und a small building ad? joining on the North, tho property of Dr J. H. Withcrspoou. The Masonic Hall, in the third story of Dr. Wither spoon's building, was deserted and given op several times, but as soon as the men could cool off, they would re? turn with renewed courage. There was no iustirauce upon the buildings burned down. The building of Dr. \VM occupied Ly himself on the first floor us a di tig store und on tho second as u family residence, und on tho third by the Masonic fraternity, was covered by insurance. The loss of Mr. Boyd is about $1,200. Dr. Witberspoon lost, including loss by removal of drugs aud furniture, about 8700; Masons, about $200; S"ns of Temperance aud Grunge, about $200.

I Tau Militia ?The headquarters of the. militia of Abbeville County urn es? tablished. Tho "stars iiml stripes" were run np Monday und fluttered iu the breezo like the flag of liberty. What the militia will do is a question too hard for us. These war measures in time of peace are hurtful to the country, aud will have a weight in the next election that will only burden the people. It is titno to unload, und it were better for the country if the militia had mill stones hung about their necks uud were cast iuto the sea. 1 Abbeville Medium.

Tue Grand Secret.?The grand se? cret in tuedicatiou is to help nature. Sustain and regulate?these uro the alpha and omega of thu only theory of cure that has common sensu for its basis. If the nervous system is shat? tered, the muscles weak, aud the miud, like tho body, m a state of partial col? lapse, what is best to do? Reason teaches as the answer: Build up your man. LI race him up as you would a tottering edifice. The pabulum he , needs is a tonic alterative. Bring bun up out of the depths of debility aud despondency with Hostotter's Bitters. They cannot injure. A child may take them, iu doses suited to its years, without the possibility of harm. The eufeebled vital powers are us sure to respoud energetically to their action as the willed grass is to erect its blades under the vivifying aud refreshing raiu. In nil cases of debility, the Bit j ters are absolutely required. There is I no substitute or succeedauenm that will till their place. Resort lo the most wonderful of modern tonic, aud all will be well. The sick, when ut death's door, regret that they did uot take tho right uotidoto at the right time. Thousands who are now suffer? ing from tho eaily twinges of liver complaint and dyspepsia will be pros? trate on siek beds a month hence, if they do not arrest tho mischief at ouce. Nothing is io".ro easy. A oourso of the purest and best vegetable touiu and alterative known in modern phar? macy, Hostotter's Stomach Bitters, will restore tho digestive orgaua to their full vigor, und bring the disor? dered liver into a couditiou of purfeot health, as certaiuly as sunshine disci. I pates the morning vapors. M31f3fll
