A motion in the House of Repre?
sentatives, last Saturday, to take np
the Civil Bights Bill failed by 140 to
91 rota"?not two-thirds. Eleven Re*
pablioanB voted against it, and forty
dodged the vote.- That is theendof
it this session, and perhaps-/forever.
It is killed in tlio house of its friends,
and tho party to which Samne'r be?
queathed the care'of this bill as a pre?
cious and eaored logaoy bows politely
to hi* memory, but declines the task,
and throws it overboard. It could not
stand the pressure which oomes up
against it from every quarter of this
whole oountry, inoluding many sensi?
ble and thoughtfal blaok persona.
Measures, sooh as this, which are only
meant to divide and distract the peo?
ple and to foment bad blood between
parties, who, if let alone, would beat
peace with oaoh other, nave met their
emphatic aud pointed.condemnation.
The principal weapon whioh baa slain
this particular me?suro was tho fear of
the Rap ubl i can party, to j aho?l?pr; it
and' go before the oountry, Those
who' lead ifc have aeuao enough, .ftp\ see
that it ia being rapidly shorn of its

The; have no more desire io eat, at the
same tables, lodge in the same hotels,
send their children to the same schools,
oooupy ? pews contiguous to each; other
in the same churches with the while
people; than these 'fatter have wiih
them. Only ttie politicians, and occa?
sionally dome silly ambitious colored
peceoo, wish any each admixture.
We see by ah article in the Pittsborg
Evening? Leader that B?iney, the oo
lored Congressman from the George?
town District in this State, makes
piteous complaint of the treatment he
has received in Washington and else?
where. , In speaking of the mixed
school feature of tho Civil Bights Bill,
while admitting it to be the most
obnoxious, he olaimed it, nevertheless,
as the colored people's "right." "Do
yon floppoae," he said, "that I want
my two children hindered in the en?
joy mont of the educational interests of
the country, merely on acoonnt of
their' color, when we are taxed for the1
support of these schools?" It is a
'homely saying,, that whet's sauce, for
the 'goose is sauoe for the gander.
Perhapa Rainey has headed of it. If a
oolored man who pays a poll tax of
one dollar is entitied on that acoonnt,
and because be prefers it, io place his
obild in a school with white ohildreo,
the; white man who pays besides his
poll-other texWto the State? heavy it
may be in amoopt, is entitled to the
privilege on that aoooant, and bjaauee
he prefers it, to withdraw his son from
the mixed school and break it op.
What, tbeb, becomes of the oolored
man's rigtjt in oonftict with thelwhite
man's right, supposing the white man
to have any left? Oloarly, they can't
consist together, and the oolored man
is worse than foolish who greedily
grasps at a shadow and loses the sub
stanoe. Io schools as in circus exhi?
bitions, "you pays your money and
yon takes your choice." This is troe
even of a down-trodden community
like South Catolina. The property
holders pay,tho money which support
tbe public school.*, of which the co?
lored popils more especially get the
advantage. Bat they will not send
their children to mixed schools.
Yottltg rUea'to tho Front,
In tbe ad dress'to the people of tbe
State from the Exooutite Committee
of the Tax-Payers' Convention, pub?
lished in these columns yesterday,
there are some timely suggestions and
a spirited appeal to*the young men of
the country. The tax-payers have
made an issue with ' their oppressors,
and accompanying1 it, have sent an
earnest rouionstrauco and memorial to
Congress aud the yvhola oountry. This
work was a good one and well done.
Its consequenoes and effecta have been
everything that could be expected, so
far as developed., It has rebuked po?
litical fapatioiam; it.baacaused men to
pause io their folly and nv-tduess; it
has evoked the exeroise of a just er
judgment. Within tbe,State, no less
important duties remain to be dis?
charged. We-must come op to tbeir
discharge resolutely, aud with the
spirit of self-denial and self-saorifloe.
It is eminently proper tbat the young
men should oome to the front in this
emergency, and carry forward to com?
pletion U?e sohemo of the State's re?
demption, so WiselyjphEBrierT by)khe*r
father^ In counfcmpia^ug the kltfrioas
services thoy easy be/able to [tender;
veterans can hardly resist tho feeling
of regret that they are no longer
yonn?. no lonsjsr able to take the
aotive part in affairs to which opportu?
nity invitee the young and aspiring,
.the intelligent and daring.
The question which u presented to
every man, and more especially to
every young man, in South Carolina
to-day, is whether ignorance and cor?
ruption shall continue to possess tho
country. There can be but one an?
swer, and that answer fixes upon every
man, and particularly upon every
young man, tbe duty of working for
the restoration of good government
and the installation, ultimately and as
the fruit of their toils, of honesty and
intelligence in places of power and
trust. We shall have something more
to say on this subject. We shall call
upon the young men again. Moan
while, we oommend to them the pass?
age which follows from a Republican
Writer:
"Does anybody suppose that such a
condition of things as exists to-day in
South Carolina is to last?' Saoha sup
, position is to ignore the. history and
the character of mankind. Suppose
'he man, or a large portion, of the
wutte menr of Sonth-Carolina, who
have gone through the civil war, are
cowed and demoralised by its reaulta
' how is it with tbe individuals of the j
prising generation who are fast taking
j their places? Is cot the hot blood of
>?the South in their veins? They have
tbe ardor of youth; tboy have tbe sti
mulus of youog ambition; they have
the pride of ancestry; they have ihe
inherited valor of successive genera'
tious. Have they no part to play in
the future?. We may rest assured that
no depressing circumstances of tbe
present are going to destroy or repress
the natural development that comes of
raoe and blood. Opportunity alone is
wanting, and tbat, we know, is always '
found by tbe bold and aspiring."
Tlie Remains or the Liberty Pole.
Mb. Editor: Yesterday morning, aa
tbe workmen were eogaged in remov?
ing the roots of tbe old palmetto tree,
(oorner of Biohardson and Washing?
ton streets,) preparatory to commenc?
ing tbe foundation of tbe handsome
building about being erected by tbe1
Southern Life Insurance Company,
they came upon tbe stump of the j
j liberty pole, which was erected sixteen
[ years ago, and from whioh the flag was
first thrown to the breeze on the itb of
i July, 1858. Our old fireman friend,
{Lewis Levy, Esq., was the prime
mover in the affair, and after a style
I peculiarly bis own, succeeded in rais?
ing the necessary funds. An immenee
hole was excavated, and a heavy base
or framework, well tarred, put down.
; Inquisitive individuals would ask the
meaning of these extensive prepara?
tions, when tho old gentleman would
[state to tbem tbat the information
would cost 85, (or $1, according as be
rated the bocket of the party.) In a,
majority of instances, the money was
j freely paid, and tbe inquirer appeared
[satisfied; but kept quiet about it, so
tbat others would be caught. Ou tbe
morning of the dth, tbe Ricbland Ri?
fles, Governor'sQuardsj Carolina Blues
aud Columbia Artillery'paraded, and
wore drawn up around tbe flag-staff,
Iat an early hour, to salute tbe stars
and stripes as it was thrown to the
breeze. Everything was in readiness,
bat just as it was about being hoisted,
tbe oord became entangled in the
roller, and it could not be adjusted.
Here was a dilemma. Somo thought?
ful individual remembered "Sailor
(James," as ho was called?an em?
ployee on tho State House?und hur?
ried off for him. In a short time, tho
sailor-workman was ou baud. Upon
! the promise of a S3 bill, bu climbed
the lofty pole, adjusted tbo rope pro?
perly, slid down, tho flig was hoisted,
I and everybody made happy. His (iu
significaut, as ho formed it,) fo il was
greeted with roiirs of applause, und
the s iilor was made happy by a contri?
bution of $25 from tho gratified indi?
viduals presold. During a thunder?
storm, a short time afterwards, tbe
upper portion of tho polo, above tl o
cross-tree, was shattered by a stroke ol
lightning, and tbe lower part so badly
injured, that it was deemed proper to
have it taken down. Aud uow we have
the finale?tho grubbiug up of tho sup?
ports. Such is my reoollectiou of tho
old liberty polu aud what boc.imo of it.
A LOOKER ON.
The savings bank bill, in which so
great iutcrest is felt in dittereut cities,
was passed by the Senate on Wednes?
day, and only requires tbo President's
signature to bsoome a law. Thin bill
relieves ail sat logs banks from tbo tax
on surplus dividends. Commissioner
Douglass held that the batiks were
bound (p pay this tax, aud brought
suit against the Dollar Savings Bank
of Philadelphia/ The Supremo Court
of the United States not only decided
in favor of the law, bat further hold
that as no statute of limitation runs
against the United States, tbe Govern?
ment could recover the amount of the
tax for any former year, whether it
had been assessed or not. The bill as
passed stops the suits to recover the
amount due from 1864 to 1871.

When my friend, the piok-pookot,
'dujing'a lato interviow, had narrated
hga explerietjcesin that line of business,
Writers contributor of the New York
^AWrf.'he next entertained me with an
aooount o( bie doings in what be called
the "bunker" business:
Just now it is the most popular do
vioe for fieeoiug tbe stranger who ven?
ture? into the metropolis, and tbe un?
suspecting can be best warned by giv?
ing the story, as nearly as. possible, in
tbe pick-pocket's own words.
? You see, sir," bo began, "it is a
good deal safer aud more profitable
than picking pockets. If you are 'col?
lared*?I meau urrostud, sir?you are
snro to get off with something light,
bat thu chances are ten to ouo against
your being 'ojllared.' Tho 'sucker'
Btunds in with you, ns it were, aud is
almost certain not to 'squeal'?that is,
not to comptuin to the polio*;. In this
way its like tbe panel game, which is
the meanest as it is the safest kind of
robbery. Then banco pays big pro?
fits. It don't take u big *mob.' I ex?
plained to you u bit ago that by 'mob'
we mean any number of men workiug
a job together. There is only the
dealer, the 'steerer' aud his pal. These
three, with the sucker, make a quiet
little party of four, and the sucker is
skinned for tbe equal benefit of the
other three. Why do wo call tbo fel?
lows we swindle .suckers? Really, I
don't know, unles9 it is because they
are so mach like tbe fish of that name,
which swallows uuy bait that comes
along. Wo need a sort of an office iu
playing this game, but its not expen?
sive, for a dingy back room, in a side
street, that cau be got for $25 per
month, is better tbau big apartmouts
on Broadway. Then we want a few
old druwings of tbo Havana lottery,
two setB of dice, and a moderate sup?
ply of money, say $700 or $800. Hav?
ing all these thiugs fixed, we go on
our 'graft.' We always go to one of
the first class hotels to lay for suckers,
and we never pick up tbe wroug man.
I never did, and I don't believe any of
my 'pah' ever did. Tbero is no trou?
ble in telling strangers from city men.
It isn't because tbey stare ut tbe ntoro
wiudows and aign9, for lots of oity
men do that; nor is it always their
dress, forsomotimes tbe oouutrymun
swaggers along in the latest style.
But thure is always something about
him bo can't disgui.se which sny.s he's u
stranger, aud it's almost us certain thul
ho shows whether he's got mouey or
not. Sometimes we pick up a sucker
who's broke, but it isn't often.
"Well, as I was saying, the big
hotels are our 'plaut.' Now, suppose
you anil I are on tbe 'graft.' Nobody,
though, seoj us speuk to euch other,
or iu any way recoguize one another,
but for all that, each of us keeps a
sharp watch on tho other. Maybe
wo'll haug around au hour or two,
without finding a sucker. Sometimes
we don't fiod ouo at all. If we do find
him, I give you tho 'office,' that h, I
give you a signal you understand to
watch sharp. I theu keep my eye no
the sucker until ho goes into the
street. I step briskly up iu front of
him as if I bud just turned up, and
bold ootmy band with great oordiality, \
saying: 'My dear Dr. Smith, I'm de?
lighted to see you. When did you
come to town? How did you leave all
the folks in Z luesville? I say all this
so quickly that tbo sucker hasn't a
chance to opeu hin mouth until I get
through. Even thon, he isn't usually
very fust about it. You see I'm a per?
son of gentlemanly appoarance and
address, and the suekef dou't know at
first ex-totly what to muko of it all.
When he does recover from his asto?
nishment, of course, he says his uarue
isu't Smith. Generally, he is very
stiff about it, aud says very grandly:
'Sir, you are m< ?tukeu; I am not Dr.
Smith, air.' Thou coines the tiuest
point iu our little gume It used to
be that the suckor would always follow
this up by giving bis natno and pluou
of residence, but lutoly they've got
cursed 'fly,' aud it has to be wormed
out of them in most oases. If be don't
givo it, why, I Hay: 'Really, I beg
your pardou, sir; I would have sworn
you were Dr. Smith; I never saw such
a strikiug resemblance iu tny life
Now, really, sir. if it's uot nuking too
much, I would liku to know your name,
so thui i (uuy tell Dr. Suiltn, the next
time I ttee In tu, who ins doublt; is '
Tins ulw.iys fetches the sucker. Ho
gets Iricudly ail ut ouce und siiy?:
'?ortuiuly. Nir, I am Mr. Thomas
14mwu, of Brownsville, Texas, or
whatever it may bo. That's all we
waultokuow. I bog pardon of the
sucker, aud torn away while he goes
off, aud in a miuuto has pmbably for
' gotten ull about, mo uud Dr. Smith
Now you have hoen standing near all
the time, and lieu id luui give his
i) tun', or, if you dtdu't, you push
uguiust me by accident like, and I
throw it at you iu asoft whisper, with
out aiti'notiug uny attention troru the
by-Htunders. Theu you go off iu au
ordinary way. If tho suckor has goue
up street, you go down ha'f a block or
so, uud thou cross over. You've taken
particular uotico of bis fuattireB uud
dress, so tbut you can't mistake yuur
mau. As you go dowu, you look at a
lint of national banks you uIwuvh carry
iu your pocket, and got tho nnmo ol
the president or cashier of n bank in
the sucker's towu. When yon get ou
the other side of the street, you walk
up briskly, keeping your eyes sharp
on the sucker all the time. You puss
him, and when you get a b oak above,
cross over, and walk down street and
meet him. When you como up to
him, you stop all of a sudden; then
you seize htm by tbo baud, which you
shake like au old friend, aud say:
'Why, my dear Brown, I'm delighted
to sea you. How are all tbo folks in
Brownsville?' Yon most be partionlar
about the last, for it's that which al-!
ways gets tbe sucker. But you musn't
give him a chance to speak yet, for
you see he don't know you?how
could he, when he never set eyes on
you before?and you say: 'Nowj/tbat's
too bad; I see you don't know mo.
Why, I am Jones, nephew of Ephraim
JoneB, Cashier of tbe National Bank in
your town. Don't yon rcmomber
when I was at your place? I was a
youngster ? then, but I i?utewber you
perfectly.' All this goes to make you
'solid' with tbo sucker; if you uro tbe
nephew of a bank cashier, you must
be somebody, and if you have carried
bim in yonr mind so long, you must
be a devilish clever fellow. But he is
forced to say he dou't remember you,
and you thiuk it's too bud tbat be
should have forgotteu you so entirely.
But you are determined he shan't do it
aguiu, for now you've met him ouco
moro, you'll give bwm cause to remem?
ber you, which you are pretty sure to
do, but not in the way be tbiuks. You
ask bim to take a drink, uud ten to
oue ho does it, for the-e suckers are
nearly always ready to driuk at some?
body olsu's expeuse. If he goes iuto a
bar-room with you, your 'graft' is easy
after that; if be don't, you propose a
cigur, and if he dou't smoke, you in?
sist it's your lunch time, und you drag
htm ofl' with you. Wherever you
take him, you open him at ouce. You
do all tbe talking, for it won't do to
give bim a chance, except to auswer
questions, so that you muy have the
?office' a9 to his baldness, family,
friends and all that, so that in n little
time you know almost us much about
him und tho place where ho lives as be
doi.-s himself. Then you get to talking
aboutyouraelf, and you ulways make it
appear that you've been a wonderful
lucky fellow. Yon have always made
money tit everything you put yonr
hund to. Yon can't eveu buy a lottery
ticket without drawing a prize. Then
a sudden thought strikes you. You
say: 'By-the by, I've got a ticket now
that's drawn a prize of some sort; I
must go down to the office, aod see
what it is aud get the money.' Tben
you draw out your pocket-book, which
shows up well, and you taku out the
ticket aud bhow it to the sucker. Hiscu
riosity is excited, for he never saw any?
thing of tbe kiud before. Your ticket
is one io a past drawing in tbe Havana
lottery, and not worth a cent; but tbe
sucker dou't see the date, und dou't
'tumble to it.' I never knew a ease
where oue did. Then you say yon
must go to the oQice, and you ask him
to go along with yon, for after you get
your money, you want to go up town
with bim aud show him the sights.
The sucker always goes. Sometimes
he makes one excuse after another,
but you insist und he always goes.
"Well, yon got him to our office,
which is fixed up liko ail tho lottery
places in town which have 'Exchange'
on tbe windows. You lay your ticket
down uud ask the muu behind the
oonnter, who is the third 'pal'?I'll call
him the dealer?if that has drawn a
prize. The dealer says ho'll see, and
be looks over a list of prizes pasted
on the wall at tho back of the room,
and of course bohind tbe oountor.
He's very careful about it, but at last
ho says: 'Yes, sir, you have drawn a
prize of $21)1. If yon want the money,
I'll give it to you, although as a rnle
all prizes are cashed at our main office
in Wall street.' You say, of course,
that you will tako the money, and,
opeuing a drawer, ho takes out a big
'bunch of soft'and hands you over the
amount. Then he says that as you are
in luck, you bad better take another
ticket for the odd dollar, and determine
it by tbe dice. You agree to it, aod of
course you win. By this time tbe
sucker is generally ready to bite, but
if bo dou't, you go through tbe thing
again and win again. By this time be
is always sure to bite. But by this
time the game requires a large sum of
mouey, an i ho puts it up. The dealer
fixes the umouut by what be thinks the
sucker bus. The first throw, no mat?
ter what it is, tho sucker wins. Some?
times, if we think he has a big pile,
we let him win a second time, but it's
not often. Alwuys tho second or
third time wo play him double or quits,
ami 'ring the dice on him;' that is,
we exe.hituge the true diee which bu
has been playing with for false ones,
aud, of course, without bis knowiug
it. Then we say to him that ho has
an excel lout chance to win, for be can
lose on no number but 28, and it's al?
most impo-siblo ho cuu throw it. His
money is on the counter, und so is
yours Ho throws, and he throws 28,
for the false dice wont couut anything
! else, no matter how they fall. Then
the dealer sweeps h'S mouey into the
drawer, remarking its very singular ho
should have thrown 28, und pitying
Inn bid luek. Then ho says; 'Now,
gentlemen, 1 would liko to have your
1 names. Wo ulways take tbe names of
our patrous for reference, iu order
that people muy know that this little
gambling transaction is done ou the
square ' He lays partictilur stress on
'gambling,'aud that settles the sucker.
Ho is always iu a hurry to get stcerer,
not to say anything about the uffair,
and he always promises, of course,
aud, what's more, he keeps it."
This, iu brief, was tho story my
friend, the banco-dealer, late pick?
pocket, told me us we sat over our
brnudy und water, and I wondered
tbat it should be possible for any oue
to be despoiled by so transparent a
swindle.

of taking precautions against it. The

Be on the Alert! Danobb is at
Hand.?This has been a sickly season.
The medical faonlty prophesy evil in
tbe future. They think pestilence is
on tbe wing for America. Suppose
this to be true, what is tbe best de?
fence against it? Redoubled nervous
vigor. This is the only protection
against panic, as well as against the
principle of infection. Why do not
those who predict tbe epidemio pro?
pose an adequate preventive? There
is one?a tonic, nervine and alterative,
competent to shield the system against
the subtle elements of disease, whether
tbey float hither on tbe winds from
distant lands, or rise like vapor from
our own soil, or are^ incorporated
with the universal fluid. This one
preventive, of wbioh there is no dupli?
cate among the compounds either of
the old world or the new, is Hostet
tor's Stomach Bitters. Remember
that it is a specific for all the com?
plaints which lay the system open to
visitations of deadly epidemics. If you
are dyspeptio, it renews the vigor of
your digestive powers, gives you appe?
tite and restores your cheerfulness.
If you are nervous, it invigorates every
fibre of your nervous system, from
the base of tbe brain, where it begins,
to the extremities, where it termi?
nates. If yon are bilious, it disci?
plines your unruly liver and brings
the aotion of that organ into harmony
with the laws of health. It is, in
abort, an invigorant and alterative so
powerful that nature, with Hosletter's
Bitters for her ally, may bid defiance
alike to native malaria and foreign in?
fection. It not only awakens the phy?
sical powers from a state of collapse
and inanition, but it imparts perma?
nent vigor to tbe muscular and ner?
vous systems, reinforcing, as it were,
both the stronghold and the outworks
of vitality. The aged, the decrepid,
tbe nervous, tho broken-down of both
sexes, are recommeuded to try it.
Tbey will assuredly find it a present
help in time of trouble. J21 f3*jl
Dn. Scuesck's Pclhonic Syrup,
Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills.
These medicines have uudonbtedly
performed more curea of consumption
than uuy other remedy known to the
American public. They are com?
pounded of vegetable ingredients, aud
contain nothiug which oan be injuri?
ous to the human constitution. Otber
remedies advertised as oures for con?
sumption, probably contain opium,
which is a somewhat dangerous drug
in all cases, and if taken freely by con?
sumptive patients, it must do great in?
jury; for its tendeuoy is to confine tho
morbid matter in tbe system, wbioh,
of course, must make a cure impossi?
ble. Sohenck's Pulmonic Syrup is
warranted not to contain a particle of
opium. It is composed of powerful
but harmless herbs, wbioh act on the
luugs, liver, stomach and blood, and
thus correct all morbid secretions and
expel all tho diseased matter from tho
body. These are the only means by
whioh consumption can be cured, and
as Sohenck's Palmonio Syrup, Sea
W- cd Tooio aud, Mandrake Pills are
tho only medicines whioh operate in
this way, it is obvious they are the
only genuine cure for pulmonary con?
sumption. Each bottle of this invalu?
able medicine is accompanied by full
directions. Dr. Sobenck is profes?
sionally at his prinoipal office, corner
Sixth and Arch streets, Philadelphia,
every Monday, where all letters for ad -
vice mast be addressed. J9 fl3
