Pent Up In Party?
In denunciation of the South Caro?
lina Radical State Government, we
cannot hold a oandle to our neighbor,
the Union-Herald. Our will is good,
bat could never equal its distinguished
-ektti. Oar mild expletives toil in vain
?after its burning epithets. It seems,
though, as if the Union-Herald che?
rishes this luxury an one peculiarly its
own. It finds fault with ub for our
humble imitations of its fiery rain of
wrath. It charges, farther, that we do
not discriminate sufficiently between
those in its party who have "honest
~ .d earnest intentions to do better"
and the regnlar rogues. In that, the
Union-Herald makes a great mistake.
Repeatedly, we have commended its
own esorts and ontspoken plain
speech. It has done good, undoubt?
edly, and we are very far from any
thought or purpose to discourage it.
What we want it to do is, not to eat
its big worda, but to accept and carry
out their logical conclusions. The
argument is pretty nearly exhausted.
.Declamation has had its day. It is
time to come to somuthiog practical.
To be effectual, reform must tuka a
definite, tangible shape. As a mere
idea, we had enough of it; it must
now represent things; it must mean
someparticular reform. We presented
several subjects proper for reforma
* tory action in yesterday's issue. The
. reforming Republicans have it in their
? power, by initiating a genuine move?
ment of this sort, to make a good |tn
jpreasion for themselves and to dull the
edge of -censure which rests upon
them. It is no time to talk abont the
.black code, the Legislature of 1865, the
? Beeret? looked up in the vaults of the
Bank of the State, or anything else,
? however bad you may say it was, that
?-bv\j?psucd before the flood. It looks
V&k'e the praotioe of the cuttle-fish
blackening the waters to elude pursuit.
The real questions are, have we rogues
.to catch, criminals to punish, wrongs
to redress, reforms to carry out, good
-measures to institute, a country to
. pnoify, on the principles of justioe and
.right?
There is no question of party that
..need be raised. We have never raised
? one. We never think about party ad?
vantages. Bat we are sorry to say,
that that's exactly what the Union
? Herald thinka too much about. "Be
?dead sure" the man yon vote for "u
?a Republican;" "we do not propose to
eleot a Democratic Governor or Lieu?
tenant-Governor;" "the integrity of
our party," &o.?these are apeoimens
of the Union-Herald's thoughts. They
i have not sufficient calibre. They are
inconsistent with earnest reform. You
? must come out of that. Yon mast not
place .party triumph and ascendancy
above the safety and proaperity of the
? community. Well-balanced parties
.promote the good of a State. They
? ?watch and protect eaob other. Their
"rivalry prevents blunders, and con?
duces to the results of good adminis?
tration and correct management in
?ach. But we have only an ugly, one?
sided affair in South Carolina, bloated
with rottenness, needing only a vigor?
ous and resolved undertaker. If. that
?the thing the Union-Herald means for?
ever to swear by? Is that the misera?
ble monster that it wonld conserve in
preference to the State itself, and all
that makes life in it respectable, de?
sirable or tolerable? If so, then its
role of reformer has been ill-chosen.
It has said some good things. It has
done some good. It can do more, if
it bursts the trammels of party, and
makes good its professions in vigorous
measures.
??R." and ..8."
These lettors, typical of tho editors
? of the Greenville Republican, are most
appetizingly sandwiched?R. first, as
due to its place in the alphabet, und
then S.?up and down the columns of
that "official paper for the County of
Greenville, for tho State of South Ca?
rolina, and for the United States." Iu
looking over the lucubrations of R.
and S., we tremble for the fortunes
.and safety of our neighbors of the
?mountain city. For are they not de?
pendent on Reudy River for tbeir ma
nufuoturca? and as their pretty city
grows, may they uot have to draw
upon tho same stream to quench the
thirst which man is liable to feel, whe?
ther in the mountains or the plains?
Wo fear that R. and S. will set this
same Reedy River on tire with the bril?
liancy of their coruscations of wit, or
tho condensed force of their political
wisdom. R , in over n column ou
"Oar Country und Our Duty," in?
forms the listening world which the
"ofHcid" paper reaches, that "the
froedmen have an undefined impres?
sion that there is still a desire among
the Democratic party to abridge their
rights, or that there is a determination
to deprive them of political rights."
This news of "an undefined impros
sion" must have been grateful to the
writer who discovered it and monopo?
lized it uutil thus launched upon the
sea of journalism. "Thero is etill a
desire," mind you. How suggestive of
the force with whioh it ouco ragedl
B. asks these hard-hearted old Demo
orats to "go in" with the Republican
party, and "give the colored man as
earuDco that you (the\) acquiesce,"
ito. Perhaps It. was asleep, and is,
therefore, excusable for not knowing
it, when this was done forty times.
This same K. exclaims:
"Why, judging from a Democratic
standpoint, the Republican party is
nothing but a band of swindlers, pick?
pockets and cheats."
Did R. inadvertently substitute "De?
mocratic" for "Republican" in tbo
first line? Surely, this particular cre?
dit belongs to "Prostrate State" Pike,
to the New York Tribune, Times, Sun,
Boston Globe, Harper's Weekly, Union
Rerald, &a. Maybo these lights can't
ahiue in the neighborhood of the
alphabetical duo. Maybe R. aud S.,
dazzled with tho exoes? of their own
blaze, could not see or stand that of
their Bepnblicau brethren. Will R.
and S. quench their torches suffijiently
to let a stray ray or two appear in the
"official sanctum?" We are sorry that
we cannot dwell longer with theso bre?
thren of the quill editorial aud of alpha?
betical harmony. R. concludes with
"Dieu et mon Droit"?"My God aud
my country"?upon which we will he
no h>rsher than to say, that is uot
altogether right.
From an article by S. on Greenville,
we learn the interesting and thrilling
facts that "the mercantile business is
not unrepresented in" it, and that it
"is the torminuB of the Greenville and
Columbia Railroad." Long may our
alphabetical contemporary live and
prosper in the "terminus;'* provided,
always, nevertheless, that the afore?
said river keep6 up a steady policy of
insurance against the dauger of confla?
gration.

Crops and Business.?While the
effects of the- long-contiunod depres?
sion following the panic of last Sep?
tember are yet very apparent, the
accounts from different quarters begiu
to record a gradual improvement in
business circles. The great requisite
for an aotivo and remunerative fall
trade?good arops?is near at hand.
Advices from the West are highly
favorable for an increased yield- of
wheat and a fair averugo of other
grains, and from California we have
the same intelligence. The cr^p
accounts from the South arc also cheer?
ing, and it looks as if the whole coun?
try was to be t)lensod with abundant
harvests during the summer and fall.
Every business mau kuows that good
crops mean good business, and, mean?
time, the New York Bulletin says that
mercantile oredit never stood ho high
as at preseut, uud the eveuts of tho
future arc, likely to iuoreaso tho confi?
dence of capitalists and financial insti?
tutions in tho souuduesH ot the mer?
cantile fabric. One thing that has
served to keep up the loug depression
and want of confidence has been the
uucertaiuty in regard to tho action of
Congress on the curreucy. Now that
we are approaching the und of the
session, and with the belief that
notbiug really will have been douo by
Congress in the premises, there is a
sense of relief also from that quarter, j
As there is not likely to be agreemeut
as to a proper financial measure?one'
such as the President could approve?
it is satisfactory to see them "lot well
enough alone."

Famine in Palestine.?A great fa?
mine has for somo timo prevail! ?! in
the Holy Land, and the population has
been considerably reduced. It is
stated that 1-1,000 Jews ure on the
point of starvation. Contributions to
the help of the soll'crurs are making all
over the world among the Jewish peo?
ple, bat so far, we luuru, the amounts
obtn.ued huve beou inefficient for even
temporary relief. Ouly some 012,000
was raised in tho two great couutries
of Germany and Euglaud. Wo learn,
ulso, that an earnest appeal is, there?
fore, made by Dr. Lehmann, of Mny
enco, that all Hebrew congregations
take up collections immediately and
forward the money to the Central
Committee of Amstordam, address of
H?llender & Lehron. As n contem?
porary remarks, "it is i^work iu whioh
Christian, as well as Jew, should join."

An Important Witness.?James
Wulker, alias Win. Sutherland, who
stabbed and killed Hiram Cochrau a
few weeks since, was sent by the
Sheriff of this Oouuty to PiokouB jail,
on Friday last, to await the holding of
the court at Pickens, which com?
menced on Monday lust. It appoars
from an order ot the oourt holden at
this plaoe, that it was highly neoessary
to postpone tho trial of Walker alias
Sutherland, on account of his being a
material witness iu the case of tho
State against certain partius who mur?
dered M. F. Mitchell iu Pickens County

Louisville and Charleston.?Tho
following letter, from the Vioe-Preai
clout of the Louisville, Nashville and
Great Southern Railroad, shows the
importance which that powerful cor?

the Hpartanburg and Asheville Rail?
road Company, and gives reason tu
expect that the Louisville Road would
speedily continue its liue to Morris
town, aud so secure a diroot and short
route to tho South Atlantio coast:
Office Louisville, Nashville and
Great Southern Railroad,
Louisville, Ky , Juue 8, 187-i.
A. C. Kaufman, Esq.?Dear Sir:
Your favor of the 2d instant is re?
ceived. I am glad to see that yon
propose to finish the Spartauburg and
Asheville Riilroad. With that road
completed and the gap tilled up be?
tween Asheville and Wulf Creek, it
would bo a great inceutive for us to
finish cur road to Cumberland Gap
and Morristown. But before this
could be accomplished, the Cincinnati
Road via Chattanooga and the con?
templated line from Xuoxville to Chit
wood would give us an excellent con?
nection.
At present, it would bo impossible
to say at what time we may be able to
complete tho extension of our road.
It is possible that the completion of
the Cincinnati Southern Railroad
would give us for some time to como a
satisfactory connection with the sys?
tem of tho roads in South Carolina.
We could, of course, do nothing at
present, and until there is a decided
improvement in the financial condition
of the country. Yours, very truly,
ALBERT FINK,
Vice-President aud General Superin?
tendent N. und G. S. Railroad

No Republic in France Jcsr Yet.?
Ouce more the rcpublio in overboard
in France. Two factions that are mo?
derate in the sense that small b >ys say
they are?less furious thau tho fuctious
which are moru furious thau they are?
those two doubtful moderates were the
faint hope of a possible republic.
Thoy were the Right Centre aud the
Left Centre. The Lieft Centre is made
up of Republicans who like their
house but do not want always to ride
on the peak; they desire a good go?
vernment and care comparatively lit?
tle for tho RepubUuau "idea" and doc?
trinaire faucies. I'ho Right Centre ure
Monarchists who do not bulievc in di
viuo right, nor iu uuy particular man,
but prefer the notion of a permanent
executive to that of un elective execu?
tive, and believo that some men arc
better than others. Politically tho
Might and Loft Ceutrea are nearer to
one another than tho Right Centre is i
to tho Right or the Left Centre to the
Left, and if they should coalesce they !
could establish a republic to which tin
Left Ceutre would give liberalism of
spirit aud for which the Right Centre
might secure a strong constitutional
form, iu virtue of which the dregs of
the people which teud to rule in demo?
cracies would be kept whuro the dr^gs
belong. But the hope of this combi?
nation is liuully douo for, and 110
Deputies of the Loft Centre have
pitched negotiation into the water by
a declaration for a definite republic?a
rcpublio, of course*, such us they want;
not such as is possible or can be ob?
tained. They would rather have no
republic thau not have their own.
Gen. Butler Receives a $20,000
Fee ?GaziwuyB. Luinur's suit against
the Government for confiscated cotton,
in which Gen. Benjamin F. Butler ob?
tained a judgment lor $579,100, is well
known. Lnnitr was a cotton specula?
tor, and iu his first litigation, em?
ployed Mr. Jasper K. Herbert, of New
York, to manage the suit, promising a
$20,001) fee, if he obtained u judgment
iu a large amount. Herbert retained
Geu. Butler. Iu the final issue of the
case last June, the $579,000 judgment
was obtained and the money paid to
Butler, who deducted the ?20,000 fee
aud remitted tho remainder to Lanier.
Herbert asked for u fuir ?hure of tho
$20,000, but Geu. Butler refused to
divide. Herbert then sued La mar for
the $20,000. Judge 1'appeu, of Brook?
lyn, on application of Herbert's coun?
sel, granted permissiou to them to ap?
ply for a commission to visit Geu.
Butler's home aud tako his testimony.
A geueral in Brooklyn who served
tinder Butler iu tho army of the Gulf,
said lust night th it La mar's cotton
wus seized on Butler's orders, and
when Lamar'e counsel heard of it, he
was sharp enough to cut off all valid
defence by employing the General;
that Butler was sharp enough to win
tho suit without a defence, aud once
won, was sharp enough to keep the
$20,000. Lunar was willing to pay for
it.?New York Sun, Wth.

many mosquitoes exist by feeding from

Dr. Scuenck's Pdlmonic Syrup,
Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills.
These medtoioes have undoubtedly
performed more cure., of consumption
thuu any other remedy known to the
American public. They are com?
pounded of vegetublo ingredients, and
contain nothing which, can be injuri?
ous to the human ooustitution. Other
remedies advertised as cures for con?
sumption, probubly contain opiom,
which is a somewhat dangerous drug
iu ail cases, und if taken freely by con?
sumptive patiei ts, it must do great in?
jury; for its tendency is to confine the
morbid matter in the system, which,
of course, must make a cure impossi?
ble. Suheuck's Puimonic Syrup is
warranted not to contain a particle of
opium. It is composed of powerful
but hurtnless 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 Pulmonio Syrup, Sea
Weed Touio and Mandrake Pills are
the only medicines which operate in
this way, it is obvious they are the
only genuiue cure for pulmonary con?
sumption. Each bottle of this invalu?
able medicine, is accompanied by full
directions. Dr. Schenok is profes?
sionally at his principal office, corner
Sixth and Arch streets, Philadelphia,
every Monday, where all letters for ad?
vice must bo addressed. J9 f 13
Wo have the New York Sun's assur?
ance that "no French or English wo?
man of cultivation, now-a-days, wears
her garters below her knees. The prin?
cipal vein of the leg sinka there beneath
tho muscle, und varicose veins, cold
feet and even palpitation of tho heart
may be brought on by a tight garter
in the wrong place. When it is fast?
ened above the knee, all this pain and
deformity may be avoided."
