Mapport Tour Own Home Institu?
tion?.
A very interesting meeting of gentle?
men, embracing representatives of all
the .professions, trades and classes of
buainoss, was held in the rooms of the
Southern Life Insurance Company, in
the Central Baak building, yesterday.
The occasion was tho visit of General
Golqnitt, Vice-President, and Colonel
Miller, Superintendent of Agencies, of
the Southern Life Insurance Company,
who come to Columbia to cheer up
and strengthen, the bands of Messrs.
Hagood & Treaties, the General
Agents for Booth Carolina, aud to
make final arrangements for the erec?
tion of a handsome and commodious
building for the transaction of the
company's business in Columbia, and
to re-organize tho State Board of Di?
rectors. O. D. Melton, Esq., was
called to the obair, and, in a few ap?
propriate remarks, introduced General
Golqnitt, of Georgia. This gentleman
enchained the attention of the com?
pany for nearly an hour, in an infor
asal, off-band' and perfectly natural
address. In matter and manner, in
the breadth and force of the views
presented, in finished courtesy aud
kindliness of spirit, be showed him
self., the accomplished civilian, as,
under other ciroumstauoes and in try?
ing, times, be proved himself the brave
seldlen and skillful General. We have
not for many, a day heard a speech
wbiob gave us more satisfaction.
Using as m text the enterprise with
Which be is associated, General Gol?
qnitt gave a most sensible dissertation
upon the necessity and advantage of
seJf*relmnoe and the duty of building
np homo itatitotions. In his view, the
. chief trouble of our Southern commu?
nities ?is that they have, in many
instanoesf.yielded tob readily to the
?nggestioBs of discontent aud despair.
The/* are distrustful of everything
which originates at home, and, in con?
sequence, pay heavy tribute to the
organised capital aud influence of the
Northern cities. It is so in trade, in
' insurance, in everything. A great
deal is said of the wretched oondition
ef the South, the effects of misgovern
ma&t, Ac But, suoh were the favors
of Providence to them in fertility of
soil and in balminess of olimate, such
were the inherent energies and indus?
try of ibe people, that, in most of the
States, in spite of all adverse influences,
? they were recovering and laying again
the solid foundations of renewed pros?
perity. It was a oommon mistake to
suppose that the Southern man or the
Southern woman was wanting in the
energy, industry or economy neoessary
to win fortune and achieve inecess.
., A glanoe at history shows how falla
cioub is the idea. The same qualities
of intelligence, of vigor, of peraever
anoe, 'of power of application whioh
led us through ' war and destitution,
- through trial and suffering, amidst the
drawbacks of a new and unsettled
country, to comfort, independence and
renown, will produce like results
again, nnder circumstances at least
not more unfavorable. We have but
to be true to ourselves, to have more
confidence in each other, to work
faithfully to establish our own institu?
tions, to keep our money invested' at
home, to see the oountry bloom and
blossom again, and to be made as sen?
sible of the presence as we now are of
the absence of our wonted and right?
ful prosperity. Forty or fifty millions
of dollars are paid to Northern insur?
ance companies, which discriminate
against us, whioh turn immigrants iu
other direotions in preference to
directing them hither, whioh never
build aoaongst us or invests iu any
shape or form in our securities, and
whioh give us the oold shoulder at the
"? very time they pocket our money. If
this sum were spent iu sustaining our?
selves aud in building up our own in
; Btitutious, wo should hear less com?
plaint of hurd times, of the scarcity of
money, or of the insecurity and weak?
ness of our own companies. If they
are weak, it is because we make them
weak. They can never bo strong until
Yo give them our countenance and
steady support. A change of polioy
in thiB respeot was shown by General
Golqnitt to be no less an obvious duty
than an imperative necessity. These
. views made a striking aud most favora
. ble impression upon the audience of
gentlemen present. They were found?
ed in a true and sensible economy, an
well as in motives of proper self-re?
spect und proper lov3 of homo and
eouutry. A company whioh makes
thia sort of appeal, aud which, as iu
the present case, proposes to practi
oally exemplify its dootriue by its
?norke, is entitled to and should reooive
I^TTu^Taa'rairatlon andi a co r dial and
whole-souled support.

using internal remedies iu lieu of local

While Charleston and Savannah are
talking about direct trade with Europe,
the finest ocean steamers are arriving
at and departing from Port Royal.
Four lines of first-class steamships,
plying between Liverpool and New
Orleans and the West Indian and
Mexican ports, now call regularly to
ooal at *he Port Royal docks, bringing
and taking freight at each trip. 30,000
tons of coal from the Dado County
mines, of Georgia, are oontracted for
and will be delivered during the sum?
mer. This ooal is of the best quality,
and is sold at a lower price than is
charged at Norfolk. Tho coming fall
will Bee thousands of bales of cotton
shipped direct to Liverpool, Havre
and Bremen from Port Royal. Not
one of the ten steamers which have
already oome to the wharves at the
new port could enter the harbor of
Charleston or Savannah. One steamer
came in drawing 21 feet of water,
and came in at half tide.
The American Cardinal.?The En?
quirer, of Cincinnati, agrees with the
tit. Louis Republican, that, "as tho
United States must be considered as
among the great powers of the world,
and its Catholio people numerous,
wealthy and intelligent, tho honor of
the Cardinal's hat, it is thought, will
no longer be withheld." The Republi?
can adds that "the two prelates must
notably conspicuous in learning and
piety and influence at the Vatican are
Archbishop Purcell, of Cincinnati, and
A rob bis hop Perche, of New Orleans."
We have no preferences as to tho mere
man upon wbom this honor should
devolve. All we contend for is the
prinoiple that if the dignity of Cardinal
is of any value to the Catholio Church,
surely a branoh so laithful and true as
the American church should bo select?
ed for the honor.
The Nakrow Gauoe Railroad.?
Dr. Davega, the President, and Ed?
ward Thomas, the Superintendent of
the Chester and Lenoir Narrow Gauge
Railroad Company, returned home
last week from their trip to the North
to procure rolling stock for the road.
We learn that arrangements were
made for the delivery to the company
of two engines, two passenger coaches,
two box cars and two flat oars. The
coaches, oars and oue engine are to be
delivered within thirty days. The
other engine, which is in course of
construction, is to bo delivered as
oooc as it can be completed. It is un?
derstood that immediately on the ar?
rival of the new stook, the road be?
tween this place aud Chester will be
changed to the three feet gAuge.

The Civil Rights Bill ?Tho Radi?
cal nominating convention in Robeson
County, North Carolina, unanimously
adopted the following resolution ou
their platform of principles:
"6th. That we earnestly deprecate
and deeply deplore the attempts that
are being made to ostublish iu our
co up try a different arraugemout for the
education of the races by the State, as
tending to destroy and render impossi?
ble a system of public schools in North
Caroliua, in which both races can
receive the benefits of an education,
besides eugouduriug feelings of hos?
tility aud hatred between the races
that may culminate iu civil disorder

Wind and Rain Storm.? A corres?
pondent, writiug from Ettu Juno, in
the Northern part of Union County,
informs us that on Wednesday of lust
week, that section was visited by a
heavy storm of wiud aud rain, with
bail, which did considerable damago
to buildings, fences und timber. Seve?
ral buildiugs were blown down, among
them tho gin-bouse of R G. Davidson,
and the grocery store of A. J. Love,
on Col. Davidson's premises. Other
buildings were unroofed aud other?
wise injured. The storm followed the
course of Broad River. The growing
crops sustained little or no damago by
the storm. ? Yorkville Enquirer.

Tho famine in India has attained

task of feeding 3,500,000 of destitute

calamity, as in the striken district

Th? i'reitnt State of FrtBth Partien.
Paris, May 15, 1874.? The sammer
session baa jaat commenced, and it is
known,!that events of great political
importance mujt bood happen. The
new constitutional bills have to be
pasnedL; an electoral law has to be
framed; and, in short, an amount of
sorioua work has to be got through
whioh would require that every mem?
ber of the Assembly should be aui
mated with a olear purpose, and that
eaoh party should be efficiently organ*
ized. But no man seoms to have any
purpose, nor can any party boast of on
organization. Royalists, Bonapartists,
Constitutionalists, Moderate Repub?
licans aud Radicals are all blatant
with loose talk about the necessity for
establishing a settled regime; bui they
are like a gang of masons, each curry?
ing a hod-full of bricks and wrangling
with one auother as to how they shall
set about building a wall. The idea
of putting their bricks in common and
working harmoniously together is the
lust which will occur to them, for each
man wants to follow his own designs
in erecting tho wall, and will bear of
no compromise. The wall to be built
in this instanoe is, as above said, the
new Constitution?that is, the four?
teenth Constitution elaborated siDce
1789. By its provisions, France is to
have two legislative chambers, viz: a
Senate of 300 members, to bo oalled
the Grand Council, and a Lower
House, also of 300 members, which
will retain the name of National As?
sembly. The Deputies iu the Lower
House are to be eleoted direct by the
universal suffrage of the urondisse
ments; but universal suffrage is to be
"purified" of about 2.000,000 voters
by the electoral law, whioh raises tho
minimum age of electors from twenty
one to twenty live, disfranchises all
who have been sentenced to fine or
imprisonment for drunkenness, sedi?
tion or even street brawling, and
imposes a three years' residential qua?
lification on tho rest of the electorate.
Of the members of the Grand Council,
100 are to be appointed for life by the
Chief of the Executive; 50 will be ex
officio members, marshals, admirals,
chief justices, &o ; and the remaining
150 will be returned by a committee
of notables, formed of the leading
officials, merchants, judges and clergy
in eaoh department. Iu case of the
President's demise, the President of
the Grand Council would temporarily
succeed him; and tho Grand Council
and the National Assembly wauld be
convoked at the shortest possible
notice and r. solve themselves into
a "Congress" to elect his permaneut
successor?a clause in the consti?
tutional bill specially providing that
the Congress shall have power to
alter the "title" of tho now Chief
of the Executive aud to shorten
or prolong the term of his oQ.cc.
Now this clause simply means that the
Congress will have power to change
the President into a monarch, and
fierce debates may be expected on it.
The Prime Minister, Duke de Broglie,
has hopod that by holding out tho
prospect of the future Congress elect?
ing a King to succeed MacMahon, he
may conciliate tho Royalists, aud a
ouuning proviso whioh implies that
the Congress might proceed to a new
election in the event, not only of Mac
Million's death, but of his resignation,
is intended to be a further bait to
them. But the Royalists do uot trust
the Duke du Broglie, and, on the other
baud, that which might tempt the
Royalists would naturally alienate the
Republicans, who command almost
one-half of the votes iu the Assembly.
The policy of tho Royalists is to thwart
tho Duke de Broglie in every way, in
order that he may resign aud be re?
placed by tho Duke Decazes, whom
the Legitimists like, or, failing this,
I they desire to bring about nueh a
dead lock that MucMabon will see it is
impossible to carry on the Govern?
ment, aud so lend himself to some
scheme for restoring Henri V. Tho
policy of tho Republicans is to keep
MacMahon where ho ia, with his pre?
sent litlu of President of the Republic,
but to overthrow the Duke do Broglie
and get a more liberal Ministry, with
M. Casimir Perier at its head. Aa to
tho Bouapartists, they are opposed to
the bill which cripples universal suf?
frage, aud have also u strong wish to
occasion u dead lock, to the end that
MacMuhou may bo driven iu a mo?
ment of impatience to appuul to tho
nation by plebiacitum. On tho whole,
then, tho situation is pregnant with
trouble, und nothing is more likely
thau that on some clause of the Con?
stitution bills the extreme Royalists,
the Republicans and the Bonnpurthts
may all vote together, aud turn out the
Duke du Broglie.

the Avery family, in about tho sixty
secoud year of Ins age, uud at the time
of his death in tho employ of Dr.
James M. Lowry. The devutiou and
fidelity of this mau to his former mis?
tress und her children wero remarkable
and touching. The results of emanci?
pation never in the slightest degree
interfered with his allegiance and affec?
tion. Sober, industrious,, obliging,
bumble, respectful aud polite to every?

this entire community were drawu out
very strongly toward him. For many
years the attentive and efficient sexton
of the Episcopal Church here, his
removal will bo much felt by tho con
gregatiou aud those who, more or less
frequently, attended tho services. His
henlth has been declining for soveral
months, but all that devoted nursing
could do (for the family regarded him
moro as a friend) was without avail.

When broken down in health, strength !
and spirits, it is necessary thut we
should ask a medical man whether au
invigoraut iu necessary. Commou
sense tells us thut it is. The only
question to be decided is, what the in?
vigoraut shall be. A standard tonic
and restorative, which has been many
years before the public, uud in which i
uiidions of the intelligent classes re?
pose tho fullest faith, seems, iu a case
like this, to present the strongest',
claims to tho confidence of the pru?
dent invalid. Hosteller's Stomach
Bitters may be truly said to possess
these high recommendations. Its tri
umphaut progress during a period of ]
over twenty years, its present popo-j
larity, aud the uuiform success winch
attends its use in indigestion, nerv- I
ou.s debility, biliary complaints, fever
and ague, und ull ailments which de?
press tho physical system and enervate
the mind, entitle it to tho rauk of a
standard national specific. It is re
gurded iu that light by the community
at large, aud hundreds of thousands of
both sexes resort to it at this season
as a preventive of that numerous and
barassiug class of diseases which take
their rise from the miasmatic winds
and vapors of spring. It is u stimu?

of course, must make a cure impossi?
