Whit Could Yon Expect 1
The Union-Herald newspaper treats
its readers to a dissertation upon what
it calls "the result." The object is to
show that the ruin and disgrace to
whioh we have sunk in this State are
not wholly due to the Radicals, who
have had undisputed control of affairs
for the last six years. Because, for?
sooth, the Legislature of 1865 choose
to act with eome show of spirit and
belf-reapout, and, judged by the stand?
ard of the Herald, committed political
mistakes, therefore their successors
had lesA blame for briber;, jobbery,
stealing and all the infamies which the
Herald and some other Radioal sheets,
even more than we, have laid at their
doors. That does not appear to us to
be good logic. The Herald speaks too
lightly of these outrages. Because the
natives stood aloof, or rejected an
amendment offered them, or passed
the -code of laws, whioh temporarily
regulated the relations between those
who had been slaves and their former
owners upon the apprenticeship sys?
tem, the Federal authorities deter
wiuud to iic^vc ** JLf&ffislfttttVd TW*cii 1 ?i
be more supple. Well, they pnt
them in office and power, and we
know what has ensued. The Herald,
whioh has very muoh moderated its
expressions towards the rogues lately,
yet says the stranger, in contempt of
Scripture, took in the natives and
everything else that came in his way.
That is to say, he stole right aud left.
?'What else,'' continues the Herald,
"oonld ycu expect him to do, under
the circumstances?"
The Herald sets op to be a reformer.
It has said that the rogoes in ofBoe
muBt be routed. Bat the language we
quote sounds to ua very maoh like a i
declaration of pardon. Expect u man
to steal, as a matter of coarse, and at '
'be same time pretend to expect that
he will introduce reforms, correct i
abases and respect obligations! The
. thing is preposterous. The euphemiB- j
tic language whioh makes the worst (
sort of rascality identical with politioal t
error, and whioh makes a joke of dis- <
honesty, will produce none of the j
effects within the Vparty lines" whioh ]
havo been promised so profusely. We ,
begin to fear, in fact, that the Herald's
ideas of reform are suoh as can bring 1
no good result. Talk about a "tried 1
Republican at our head" as "a security ,
for the integrity of the party in the I
State, and the honest and economical 1
administration of its pnhlio affairs 1" '
The Herald's pen, block as it is, must ,
have blushed as it was need in writing
that sentence. The old augurs and
soothsayers used to joke with each
other in private at the tricks they
played on the credulous in public.
Can the Herald hold its laughter when
it meets one of these tried Republi?
cans? Would indeed they could be
tried/ and they joke together upon
how the strangers and natives took in
everything that came in their way. It
is rather too grim a joke, at least, for
the people who were taken in. Under
the circumstances, our neighbor ought
to cease expecting that sort of thing,
and demand something better.
Encouraging.
A German immigrant, Paul Kasulke,
writes from Chester, where he is estab?
lished, to our young friend, William
Faber, that he is very mnoh pleased
there. His employer promises to give
him as much land as he may want next
year. He is delighted with the place,
intends to remain, and expects soon to
get married. This is the right sort of
an immig-ant, aud we trust that he
and all his family that are to bo may
live long and prosper. He says that
ho would very muoh like to have a Tes?
tament and hymn book, (in German,)
as he has been used every Sunday
either to hear or read God's Word, aud
would gladly pay for them. By all
means, he should have them. It
would be a good idea for our German
fellow-oitizens to form a society to
place the saored Scriptures in tho
hands of every immigrant who passes
through tho place. It would proves
great solace to strangers, in a couutry
new to them, to have by them these
records, reminding them of homo,
soothing their exile and guiding them
to Heaven.
It is gratifying to learn, ns we do
freqaently, that the men who have
cast in their fortunes with our people
are well satisfied, aud that agreeable
relations have generally been estab?
lished with their employers.

BitooKS Buownlow.?They have got
a story out that the Rev. Mr. Brooks,
of Arkansas, looks like Parson Browu
low, of Teunessee. It was designed as
a compliment to each, but, singularly
enough, both have got mad about it.
Poor Loulslun?.
The desire to understand, and, if
possible, better appreciate the condi?
tion of Louisiana- since the terrible
devastation by the Mississippi over?
flow, has been universal. The people
of the North could not well under?
stand why Providence should, at the
same time, send two euch curses as a
carpet-bug government and a deluge
upon the poor, buffering oitizens of
one State of tho Union. So, when
the news of the latter calamity came,
the people hastened the more readily
to give their aid to the suffering, be?
cause it was hoped that in it the dire?
ful calamities then burdening the State
might be washed away. The depart?
ure of Dr. Thomas Cottman, an old
resident of Louisiana, for the desolat?
ed country was audonstood to indicate
the authoritative promise of govern?
mental investigation and relief. This
gentleman has returned from Louisi?
ana and made his report. We can
judge of its oontents by statements
made to a New York Herald reporter.
They show what a great State has
been brought to by the imbecility, the
lack of statesmanship and character
in the Government. Gen. Grant and
his minions are direolly responsible
for this terrible wrong. "Between the
flood and tho complicated condition of
its politics," said Dr. Cottman, "I
must say that I think Louisiana is in
the most nnfortunato condition ima?
ginable. In fact, it is a question in
my mind which is preferable of the
two-r?namely, to be drowned out or to
live in anarchy."
"The water is rapidly receding. The
whites have food enough, but they
have uot sufficient to divide with the
negroes. . The Governmont supplies
rations, regularly to the latter. I was
in Poland mauy years ago, and then
Baw tho frightful ravages of famine,
but I saw nothing equaling the condi?
tion of the poor whites and negroes in
the inuudated districts of Louisiana.
Misery, wretohednesa, want, despair,
itre the constant companions of these
p?Or Wr?i?u??."
"How do the people live?" was
asked.
"The people live the lives of bea?
rers, and from their appearauce, you
would suppose that they belonged to
in amphibious class of humanity.
They wade in the water and wallow in
iirt. For the most part, they subsist
an fish."
"Who do the people blamo for their
lnfortonate condition?"
"The feeling against the Levee
Kommission is the bitterest conceivu
lie, and numerous suits have been be?
gun for damages by the overflow.
Vgaiust one of the commissioners
done, twenty suits havu been insti?
tuted. NothiDg will come of this,
lowever. Nobody ever gets a judg?
ment against a State official in Louisi?
ana."
"How do the people stand in respect 1
;o the rule of the Federal Govern?
ment?"
"They all complain more of govern- :
mental interference than of the devas?
tation by the flood. There exists
throughout the Strttc a sj's'eci of sa?
traps. With oulj* one exception, which
[ shall cite further along, there are no
officials under tho General Govern?
ment who were residents oi the Suits;
prior to appoiutmeut."
"What ts the effect of tho assistance
whioh the Government is giviug upon j
the oitizeus?''
"The citizens of the towns und vil?
lages havu come to tho conclusion to
aupport the Federal Government, if
possible, us it is now assisting them.
They are auxious to reciprocate, recent
favors. AH are repudiatora, however.
The negroes especially am in favor of
the repudiation of all State debts.
They have boeu taught that the pro?
prietors will not be ublo to pay them,
if they (the employers) are compelled
to pay tue taxes. The negroes do not
oare about any other kind of politics;
they believu just that much, aud do
not care to know more."
"What do you regard as Gen. Graut'a
policy regarding tho Louisiana peo?
ple?" asked the Herald reprosentativo.
"One of conciliation," replied Dr.
Cottman. "The appoiutmeut of
Bartho to a Collectorship has done
muoh to create good feeling through?
out the State towards the General Go
verment. Burtbu was a Creole, very
widely knowu aud a violent opponeut
to Gen. Grant's system of carpet-bag?
gers. He was the lirst aud only ap?
pointment made of a citizen of the
State. In tho overflowed districts of
the State the feelings of tho people aro
those of extremu gratitude for assist?
ance."
Oroakizino.?"Tho young men of
the country ure all orgauizing, but no
one knows for what purpose They
all belong to a secret orgauizat.on.
Some call themselves members o." a
vigilance committee. Certain it is
that they keep tho placr n?d time of
their meetiuga strictly secret. This is
an ominous movement and bodes no
good for the politic! future of the
South. There is ouo redeeming fea?
ture, however. The solid mou are
effecting an organization to restrain
any intemperate action. The young
men are nearly all out of employment,
bo dull has business becomo. They
attribute this state of things to the
goneral ruin produced by oarpot bag
rule. They are ready for any omor
genoy. Tho present pall over busi?
ness has not existed for more than six
mouths, and yet their despair is driv?
ing tho young men of the South to
extrem.-?, which may end very disas?
trously for reconstruction."
The Impending Crisis.?"Where is
this state of things to end?"
"Thero is only one solution," re?
plied Dr. Cottman. "There certainly
will be a conflict of races soon, i
think the crisis will occur about Sep?
tember next. It is as sure to oome, in
my opinion, as that tho sun will rise."
"Dabk Night SetttjIHG ovbb Lo?
isiana."?"This certainly looks rather
dark for the State. Is there no way
of avoiding this crisis?" asked the He?
rald representative.
"Not at this late day. The day for
avoiding the awful calamities whioh
are in store for the people of Louisi?
ana is past. Nothing short of civil
war, to whioh the late conflict in Ar?
kansas will be a mere bagatelle, can
ever wipe out the hatred of these long
bitter years of misrule. It cannot be
amioably settled, but will demand na?
tional interference. As I said, the
only element of salvation is found in
the conservative organization of mer?
chants and peaceable citizens now
forming, backed by the whole power
of the General Government. This can
scarcely suffice, ho wever. Partv trou?
bles might precipitate civil war to?
morrow, and then even the most ami?
cably disposed men would bo com?
pelled to joiu issues with their neigh?
bors for the common protection of
their families and their property. Re?
publicans, Demoorats?all would have
to join in the revolt. It will bo a
square out-and-out fight betweeu white
and black. I think myeelf that if
Gen, Grant is disposed to favor the
conservative element and lend his in?
fluence for the general pacification of
the State trouble may be postponed
for a time. It is imperative that he
do something at once; for so sure as
he permits the negro und the carpet?
bag element to go together any longer
tboy will both get cleaned out by a
united force of all parties."

A Strike at Languey ?Yesterday
morning, about one-third of the ope?
ratives at Laoglcy Mills struck, and
marched out of the factory into which
they had gone as usual iu the moruiug.
Tho strike was caused, we understand,
by tho company's charging reut far
the operatives' houses. The factories
North und Rast, almost without ex?
ception, recently reduced the wages of
their employees. The Augusta, Gra?
in tevillo aud Luugley factories, how?
ever, concluded to pay their operatives
the usual wages, and charge them rent
for their houses.

A Q?ebb Proceeding.?The Union
ville Times publishes the following
statement of a new dodge practiced by
tho County Treasurer of that County:
"On Wednesday, just beforo dinner,
Auditor Mobley brought to us a list of
what he said the County Treasurer re?
ported to him as delinqueut tax-pay?
ers, with the request thut the Auditor
affix his signature to it as oorreot. Tho
list occupied ten pages of letter paper,
and, upon a rough estimute we made
at the time, eontniued about 200 per?
sons in this County who had not paid
their taxes. The aggregate amount,
we think, was over $11,01)0. It might
have been mure. Tho Auditor told us
there were names on that list who had
always paid their debts, and he be?
lieved they had paid their tuxes, aud
before tie would eigu it he would pub?
lish the list end request those who bold
receipts against it to present them to
him, in order that the errors, if any,
muy bo corrected. Wo luid the list
upou our table aud wont to dinner.
During our ubseuce, J. W. Yius-uu
cauin into the office und tmt down at
the table to write an advertisement for
the County Commissioners. Soon
after ho left, George E. Tuxberry, tho
clerk or assistant of tho County Trea?
surer, came iuto tho office, aud, after
asking for us, stole the list from our
table, and the next morning, Mobley,
tho Auditor, Byron, the County Trea?
surer, aud Tuxberry, his clerk, started
Ifor Columbiu."

Columbia Library association.?
The Columbia Library Association will
meet this evening, for important busi?

seventy members, and has a library of
1,000 volumes, of a general and mis?

select and valuable. It is desirable, of
course, thut the membership shonld
be iucreased, and that the present
nucleus of book* should grow into a
large, popular and commanding insti?
tution. Instead of Bixty, we shonld
have several hundred subscribers.
This would give ample means for in?
crease of books by purchase, and for
all those arrangements whioh would
make tho rooms a pleasing and an in?
structive resort. We trust that a large
accession to the numbers of tbe asso?
ciation will be made this evening.
The annual admission fee fixed upon
is quite moderate, the situation and
rooms of the library very eligible, and
besides books, there are to be found
on tho tables a good selection of cur?
rent periodical literature, including
Blackwood, the Saturday Review, the
London Graphic, the Nation, Atlantic
Monthly, Appleton's Journal, the Ga?
laxy, the Eclectic, Frank Leslie and
New York Herald. It is easy to see
how all these advantages may be en?
larged, aud how the'infant library may
become the most agreeable point of

performed more cureo of consumption
than any other remedy known to the
Americau public. They are com
pouuded of vegetable ingrediewts, and
contain nothiug which can bo injuri?
ous to the human constitution. Other
remedies advertised as cures for con?
sumption, probably contain opium,
which is a somewhat daugerous drug
iu all cases, and if taken freely by con?
sumptive patients, it must do great in?
jury; for its tendenoy is to confine the
morbid matter in the system, which,
of course, must muke a cure impossi?
ble. Scuenck's Pulmonic Syrup is
warranted not to contain a particle of
opium. It is composed of powerful
bub harmless herbs, which act on the
lungs, liver, stomach and blood, and
thus correct all morbid secretions and
expel all the diseased matter from the
body. These are tho only means by
which consumption can be cured, and
as Scheuck's Pulmouio Syrup, Sea
Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills are
the only medicines whioh operate in
this way, it is obvious they are the
only genuine care for pultuonu-v con?
sumption. Each bottle of this invalu?
able medicine is accompanied by full
directions. Dr. Schonck is profes?
sionally at his principal office, corner
Sixth and Arch streets, Philadelphia,
every Monday, where all letters for ad?
vice must bo addressed. JO f 13
