COLUMBIA, S. C. Wednesday Morning, June 24,1874. Mixed So boo la. A motion in the House of Repre? sentatives, last Saturday, to take up the Civil Rights Bill failed by 140 to 91 votes?not two-thirds. Eleven Re* rt-?H!??V-.riS TJitsd agailiafe ?fc !*nfl fnrl.v dodged the ? vote. Thai is the eud of it this eessiop, and perhaps /forever. It is killed1 in the house of its friends, and the party" to whioh Somner be? queathed the care of this bill as a pre? cious and eaored logaoy bows politely to his memory, but deolinea the task, and throws ib overboard. It oould not stand the pressure whioh comes up against it from every quarter of this whole country, including many sensi? ble and thoughtful blaok persons. Measures, snoh aa this, whioh are only meant to divide and distract the peo? ple and to foment bad blood between parties, who, ? let alone, would be at peaoe.with each other, have met their emphatic .and pointed- condemnation. The principal weapon whioh baa slain this particular measure was tbe feat of the Republican ' party, to sho ul 6>c it and" go before tho country. Those who lead it have houbo euOogb, ;tb! ece that it is being rapidly short of its. strength, and tbeir policy i? to eabject it tb"lS lew trials as possibl'o in its weakening condition. ' ^ ^ We can understand and appreciate the, j doflire of " the colored people to aoouro all their J;ja8t, rightej and in every' legitimate" way }as *?roiriote their own prosperity'. But it ia not wise in ?#?,W.n.o;;^ 'trfc to pjwwj lupuj Iu un iiuualurai pemiiiun. They have no more desire to cat at the same tables, lodge iu the same hotels, lend their ohildren to the same schools, ooonpy pewfl contiguous to each other iu tho same churches with the white people1, than these latter have with them. Only tl^e politician*, and occa? sionally uome silly 'ambitious colored Benson, wish any such admixture. We see by aa article in the Pittaburg Evening ? Leader that R*iney, the co? lored Congressman from the George? town Distriot in this State, makes piteous complaint of the treatment ha has received in Washington and else? where. . In speaking of the mixed ?chool feature of the Civil Rights BUI, while admitting it to be the most obnoxious, he claimed it, nevertheless, aa the colored people's * 'right." "Do you suppose," be said, "that I want my two children hindered in the en jo^ment of the educational Interests of the country, merely on account of their,color, when wo are taxed for the support of these schools?" It is a 'homely saying,,that what's sanoe for the goose is Sauoe for the gander. Perhaps Raiuey has boa^rd of it. If a colored man who pays a poll tax of ana dollar is entitled; on that account, and because he prefers'it, to place his child in a school, with white children, the white man who pays beaidee his poll-other taxes' to the State, heavy it may be in amoupt, ia entitled to the privilege ou that account, and bjoauee he prefers it, to withdraw his son from the mixed school and break it op. What; then, becomes of the colored man's right iu oopflict with thelwhite man's right, supposing the white man to have any loft 1* Clearly, they oau't, consist together, and the colored man is worse than foolish who greedily graaps at a shadow and loses the sub? stance. In schools as in oirou9 exhi? bitions, "you pays your money and yon takes your choice." This is true even of a down-trodden community like South Carolina. Tbe property holders pay.tho money whioh support the' public school*, of which the co? lored pupils more especially get the ndvautage. But they will not send thbir children to mixed eohools. Young Hm'ta the Front. In tbe addreas'to the people of the State from the Executive-' Committee of the Tax-Payers* Convention, pub? lished in theae columns yesterday, there are aomo timely suggestions and a spirited appeal tQtthe young men of the country. The tax-payers have made an issue with,' their oppressors, arid accompanying it, have sent an earnest remonstrance und memorial to Congress and the whole noun try. This work was a good one and well done. Its consequenoes and effects bavo been everything that could, be expected, so far as deyejqpad, It has rebuked po? litical fanaticism; it has caused men to pause in their folly and anduess; it has evoked the exerbiae of a just or judgment. Within the State, no less important duties remain to be dis? charged. We must oomo up to their discharge resolutely, aud with the spirit of self-denial and eelf-saorifioe. It is eminently proper that the young men should oome to the front in thU emergency, and carry forward to com? pletion the schema of the- State's-.re? demption, so Msely .phtaderj byvJiheir father^? In oon$smpfejHn^ the |gl3rio*s services tboy may b?/'able to 'render, veterans can hardly jresiit the feeling of regret that they are no longer young, no lonp>r able to take the nlty invites the yonng and aspiring, the intelligent and daring. The question which u presented to every man, and moro especially to ovcry young raan, in South Carolina to-day, is whether ignorance and cor? ruption shall continue to possess the country. There oan be but one an? swer, and that answer fixes upon every man, and particularly upon every young man, the 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 yonng men again. Mean? while, we oommend to tbem the pass? age whiob follows from a Republican Writer: "Does anybody suppose that such a oondition of things as'exists to-day in South Carolina is to last?' Such a sup? position is to ignore the. history and the character of mankind. Suppose the men, or a large portion, of the white men;- of South-Carolina, who have gone through the civil war, are cowed and demoralized fay its results? 'bow is it with the individuals of the rising generation who are fast taking their plaaei? Is not the hot blood of the South in their veins? They have the ardor of youth; tboy have the sti mulns of young ambition; they have the pride of ancestry; they have the inherited valor of suaoessive genera' tions. Have they no part to play in the future? We may rust assured that no depressing oiroumstanaes of the present are going to destroy or repress the natural development that comes of raae and blood. Opportunity alone is wanting, and that, we know, is always fouud by the bold and aspiring." < * ? ? The Remains of the Liberty Pole Mb. EmTon: Yesterday morning, as the workmen were engaged in remov ing the roots of the old palmetto tree, (corner of Biohardson and Washing ton streets,) preparatory to oommenc ing the foundation of the handsome buildiug about boicg erected by the Southern Life Insurunoe Compauy, they came upon the stump of the liberty pole, whiob was erected sixteen years ago, and from which the flag was first thrown to the breeze on the 4th of July, 1858. Our old fireman friend, Lewis Levy, Esq., was the prime mover in the affair, and after a style peculiarly his own, succeeded in rais ing the neoessary funds. Au immense hole was exoavated, and a heavy base or framework, well tarred, put down Inquisitive individuals would ask the meaning of these exteusive prepara tions, when the old gentleman would state to tbem that the information would cost $5, (or $1, according as b rated the fopeket of the party.) in _ r 'ijority of instances, the money was ficely paid, and the inquirer appeared satisfied; but kept quiet about it, so that others would be caught. Ou th morning of the 4th, the Ricbiand R flea, Governor'sGuard siCarolina Blues and Columbia Artillery paraded, and wore drawn up around the flagstaff, at an . early hour, to salute the stars uud stripes as it was thrown to the breeze. Everything was in readiness, bat just as it was about being hoisted, the cord became entangled in the roller, and it oon'd not be adjusted. Here was a dilemn. \. Somo thought? ful individual remembered "Sailor James," as be -as called?au em? ployee on the State House?and hur? ried off for bim. In a short time, the sailor-workman was ou baud. Upou the promise of a $5 bill, be climbed the lofty pole, udjiisted the rope pro? perly, slid down, the dig was hoisted, and everybody made happy. His (in? significant, us he termed it,) fe.it was greeted with roars of applause, und the sailor was made happy by a contri? bution of $25 from the gratified indi? viduals present. During a thunder? storm, a short time afterwards, the upper portion of the polo, above tt e cross-tree, was shattered by a stroke ol lightning, and the lower part so badly injured, that it was deemed proper to have it taken down. And now we have the finale?tbo grubbiug up of the sup? ports. Snob is my recollection of the old libertv polo and what, became of it. A LOOKER ON. Tbo savings bank bill, in which so great interest is felt in difi'ereut cities, was passed by the Senate on Wednes? day, and only requires the President's signature to. become a law. This bill relieves all savings banks from the tax on surplus dividends. Commissioner Douglass h?hl that tbo banks were bound to pay this tax, and brought suit against the Dollar Savings Bank of Philadelphia/ The Supreme Court of the United Stetes riot only decided ip favor of the law, b?t further hyid that as no statute of limitation runs against the United States, the 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. A motto at a recent farmer's meet? ing was, "None bat live stook should be watered." ivt^i. pwnwi-rr?j-1-?-^t-.?;-j ? 'Banco"?How Fooia and Their Money Part Company. When my friend, the pick-pocket,, daring a late interview, had narrated bis experiences in that line of business, Writes.? contributor of the New York 2V77jerf,1ho next entertained me with an account o f bie doings in what he called the "bunker" business: Just now it is the most popular de? vice for fleecing the stranger who ven? tures into the metropolis, and the un? suspecting can be best warned by giv? ing tbo story, as nearly as- possible, in the pick-pocket's ow.u words. ??You see, sir," ho began, "it is a good deal safer and more profitable than picking pockets. I! you are 'col hired'?I meau arrested, sir?you ore euro to get off with something light, but the cbauci a tire ten to one against your being 'coliared.' The 'sucker' j stands in with you, ns it were, and is almost certain not to 'squeal'?that is, not to complain to the police. In this way its like the panel game, which is the meanest as it is the safest kind of robbery. Then banco pays big pro? fits. It don't take a big 'mob.' I ex? plained to you a bit ago thnt by 'mob' we mean any number of men working 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 the equal benefit of the other three. Why do we oall the fel? lows we swindle .suckers? Really, I don't know, unless it is because tbey are so much like the fish of that name, which Bwallows any 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 can be got for 325 per month, is better tbau big apartments on Broadway. Then we want a few old drawings of the Havana lottery, two sets of dice, and a moderate .sun ply of money, say $700 or $300. Hav? ing all these things 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 the wrong muu. ? never did, and I don't believe any of my 'pals' ever did. Tbero is no trou? ble in telling strangers from city men. It isn't because they stare at the ntoro windows and sigu9, for lots of city men do that; nor is it always their dress, for sometimes the oouutryman swaggers along iu the latest style. But there is always something about him he can't disguise which Bays he's a stranger, aud it's almost us certain that he shows whether he's got money or I not. Sometimes we pick op a sucker who's broke, but it isn't often. "Well, as I was saying, the big hotels are our 'plant.' Now, suppose you and I are on the 'graft.' Nobody, though, seeu us speak to each other, or iu any way recognize one another, but for all that, each of us keeps a sharp watch on the other. Maybe we'll hang around au hour or two, without finding a sucker. Sometimes we don't find one at all. If we do find bim, I give you the 'office,' that is, I give you a signal you understand to watch sharp. I then keep my eye on the sucker until be goes into the street. I step briskly up iu front of him as if I had just turned up, and bold ont my band with great cordiality, saying: 'My dear Dr. Smith, I'm de? lighted to son yon. When did you eome to town? How did you leave all tbe folks in Zinesville? I say all this so quickly that the sucker hasn't a chance to open bis mouth until I get through. Even then, he isn't usnally very fast about it. You sea I'm a per? son of gentlemanly appearance and address, and the suckei don't know at first ez-iotly what to make of it all. When be does recover from his usto nishment, of course, be says bis name isn't Smith. Generally, he is Very stiff about it, aud suys very grandly: 'Sir, you are m -taken; I am not Dr. Smith, sir.' Thou comes the fiuest point iu our liitlo game. It used to be that the sucker would always follow this up by giving his numo and place of residence, but lutely they've got cursed 'fly,' aud it has to be wormed out of them in must eisen. If be don't give it, why, I say: 'Really, I beg your pardon, sir; I would have sworu you ivitb Dr. Smith; I uever mw such a strikiug resemblance in my life Now, really, sir, if it's not asking too much, I would like to know your name, ho that. I may tell Dr. Suiltti, the next tinjo I see htm, who bis double is ' Tins always fetches the sucker. He gets friendly ail at once und nays: '(Jortaiuly. Mr, I am Mr. Thouias Browu, of Brownsville, Texas, or whatever it may be. That's all we wuut to know. 1 beg pardon ot the sucker, and turn away while he goes oil. aud in a minute has pinbably for goiteu all about me and Dr. Smith Now you have been standing near nil tbe time, aud heiiid him give his U'imo, or, if you didn't, you push against me by uccident like, uud I throw it at you in asoft whisper, with? out attruotiug any attention Iroru the by-Standers. Thou you go off iu au ordiuary way. If tbe sucker has gone up street, you go down bad a block or so, aud then cross over. You've taken particular notice of his features aud dress, ho that you can't mistuke your man. As you go down, you look at h list of national banks you always carry iu your pooket, and got the nnnio ol the president or cashier of a bank in the sucker's town. Wheu you get on the other side of the street, you walk up briskly, keeping your eyes shurp on the sucker all the time. You puss him, and when you get a b ock above, cross over, and walk down street aud meet htm. Wheu you oomo up to him, you stop all of a sudden; then you seize him by the buud. whiob you shake like au old friend, aud say: 'Why, my dear Brown, I'm delighted to see you. How are all tho folks in Brownsville?' You must be particular about the last, for it's that whioh al? ways gets the sucker. But you musn't give him a cbanco to speak yet, for you see he don't know you?how could be, when he never set eyes on yon before?and you say: 'Now.^hat's too bad; I see you don't know me. Why, I am Jones, nephew of Ephraim Jones, Cashier of tbe National Bank in your town. Don't you romomber j when I was at your place? I was a youugster then, but I remember you perfectly/ AH this goes io make you 'solid' with tho sucker; if you uro the nephew of a bank cashier, yon must be somebody, aud if you have carried him in your mind so long, you must be u devilish clever fellow. Hut he ia forced to say he dou't remember you, and you thiuk it's too bud that he should have forgotteu you so eutirely. i But you are determitied he shan't do it! again, for now you've met him once more, you'll give him cause to remem? ber you, which you are pretty sure to do, but not in the way bo thiuks. Yoa ask him to take a drink, and ten to oue ho does it, for tho.-o suckers are nearly always ready to drink at some? body else's expense. If he goes into a bur-room with you, your 'graft' is easy after that; if he don't, you propose a cigar, and if ha dou't smoke, you in? sist it's your lunch time, and you drag him off with you. Wherever you take him, you opeu him ut once. You do all the talking, for it won't do to give him a chance, except to answer questions, ho that you may have the 'office' as to Ins business, family, friends and all thut, so that io u little time you know almost us much about him und tho place where ho lives as be does himself. Then you get to talking about yourself, and you always m*ke it appear that you've been a wonderful lucky fellow. Yon buve always made money at everything you put your bund 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 uow that's drawn a prize of some sort; I must go dowu to tue office, and Hee what it is and get the money.' Then you draw out your pocket-book, which Nhowa up well, and you take out the ticket and bhow it to the suoker. His cu? riosity is ezcitod, for be never saw any? thing of the ktud before. Your ticket is one in a pust drawing iu the Havana lottery, und uot worth a cent; but, the sucker dou't see tbe date, uud dou't 'tumble to it.' I never knew a case where ouo did. Then you suy you must go to tbe office, and you ask him to go along with yon, for ufter you get your money, you want to go up town with him aud show him the sights. The sucker always goes. Sometimes be makes one excuse after another, but you iusist und be always goes. "Well, you got biui to our office, which is fixed up like all tbo lottery places in town which have 'Exchange' on the windows. You lay your ticket dowu and ask the man behind the counter, who is tbe third 'pal'?I'll call him the dealer?if that has drawn a prize. The dealer Bays ho'll sec, and be looks over a list of prizes pasted on the wall at tbo back of tbe room, and of course bobind tbe oounter. He's very oareful about it, but at last ho says: 'Yes, sir, you have drawn a prize of $21)1. If you want tho money, I'll give it to yon, although as a rule all prizes are cashed at our main office in Wall street.' You say, of course, that you will take the money, and, opeuing a drawer, be takes out a big 'bunch of soft' and bands yoa over the amount. Then be says that as you are in luck, you bad better take another ticket for the odd dollar, and determine it by the dice. You agree to it, and of course you win. By this time the sucker is generally ready to bite, but if bo dou't, you go through the 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, un 1 he puts it up. The dealer fixes the umouut by what be thinks the sucker has. The first throw, no mat? ter what it is, the sucker wins. Some? times, if we think he has a big pile, | we let him win n second time, but it's not often. Always the .second or third time we play him double or quits, aud 'ring tho dice on him;' that is, we exchange the true dice which be has been playing with for false oues, aud, of cour.-e, without his knowing it. Then we say to him that ho has an exceileut chance to wiu, for be can lose on no number but 28, and it's al? most impossible bo can throw it. His money is on tbe counter, und so is yours He throws, and he throws 28, for the false dice wont count anything else, no matter bow they fall. Theu the dealer sweeps h;s mouey into the j drawer, remarking its very singular ho should have thrown 28, uud pitying his b?d luck. Then he says; 'Now, ; gentlemen, 1 would like to have your names. Wo ul ways take tho names of our putrous for reference, iu order that peoplt may kuow that this little gambling transaction is douo ou the square ' He lays particular stress OC 'gambling,'aud that settles the sucker. Ho is always in a hurry to get stoerer, not to say anything about the ulYur, uud he always promises, of course, and, what's more, be keeps it." This, iu brief, was tho story my friend, the banco-dealer, lato pick poo'iet, told mo as we sut over oar brandy and water, and I wondered that it should be possible for any oue to bo despoiled by so transparent a swindle. . - ? - ?

Suppose this to be true, what is the best de feuoo 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 the epidemio pro? pose an adequate preventive? There is one?a tonic, nervine and alterative, competent to shield tbe system against the subtle elements of disease, whether they float hither on the winds from distant lands, or rise like vapor from our own noil, or are^ incorporated with the universal fluid. This one preventive, of which 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 whioh lay the system open to visitations of deadly epidemics. If yon are dyspeptic, it renews the vigor of your digestive powers, gives yon appe? tite and restores your oheerfnlness. If yon are nervous, it invigorates every fibre of your nervous system, from the base of the brain, obere it begins, to the extremities, where it termi? nates. If you are bilious, it disci? plines your unruly liver and briogs the action of that organ into harmony with the laws of health. It is, in short, 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 musoular and ner? vous systems, reinforcing, as it wore, both tho stronghold and the outworks of vitality. The aged, the decrepid, tbe nervous, tho broken-down of both sexes, are recommended to try it. They will assuredly find it a present help in time of trouble. J21 fSfll Db. Soiienck's Pdlmonic Sybcp, Sea Weed Tonic and Mandkake Pulls. These medicines have undoubtedly performed more cure.; of consumption than uuy othor remedy known to tbe Ameriouu public. They are com? pounded of vegetable ingredients, aud contain nothing which oan be injuri? ous to tbe human constitution. Other remedies advertised as cures for con? sumption, probably contain opium, which is a somewhat daugorous drug in all cases, and if taken freely by con? sumptive patients, it must do great in? jury; for its tendency is to confine the morbid matter in tbe system, whiob, of course, must make a oure impossi? ble.
