COLUMBIA, S. a Wednesday Morning, July 1,1874. sins or umiailon as VVtll as Commis? sion. . "Our deliverer is at hand! Oar champion is buokliug on his armor. .* * * And, ohl theo we will have a dealing out of the temple; then will we tarn the streams that oleansed the Augean stables through oar stained bat bountiful capital. * * * The phild is born, and his name is Daniel. Friends, prepare to follow your leader."?Orangeburg News. It is well understood that Mr. D. H. Chamberlain is a oandidate for Go varnor. He is so announced in one of the Badioal State journals, and the New York Times' correspondent says that he is the most available Northern man in the State, and stands a fair chance of boiug eleoted. The extract oopied from the Orangebarg Naws in? dicates that he is to ran as a reform oandidate, and the language imputed to him by the limes' correspondent implies the same thing. Under the heading in the Times' letter, "Beform Deemed Advisable," Mr. Chamberlain 4s made to Bay, that as a result of mis .government and offioial crime in this State, and in consequence of the trathfal disclosures of its condition .made by the Times, ths leaders of the ?party had arrivod at the conclusion that their political suooess depended upon their reformation. We referred to this sort of reform a day or two ago, as being of an unpromising eha raoter, if judged by its admitted origin and professed purpose. But so it is called. ~Mr. Chamberlain, then, is a candi? date for Governor of Sooth Oerolina, and a roform oandidate, too, whatever that may mean. It will be prudent to f take that term as we do the numbers of acres -of land, with the saving wo*de, "more or less." In qualifica? tions for high office, so far as they de? pend upon oapaoity, culture, training and study, we are free, to say, that Mr. Chamberlain is among the most distin? guished men of hia party. The impli? cation of the Times, that he is likely to ?incur native Oonservative opposition, ?because he is a Northern man, is en? tirely without foundation. There is not now, and there never was within our recolleotion, any such preju? dice. The Northern man, as Buch, ?was always weloome here. It was only in exceptional oases, when he was un? worthy, or intermeddling, or disgust? ing, that he received the cold shoulder. There is no traoe of a sentiment of op? position to Mr. Chamberlain on ac? count of his birth-place, and there % -evident prepossession in his favor aa a man of talent. But something more is require'd to satisfy one's idea of what ought to be united in a oaudidaie for Governor, and a man who sets up to be a reformer besides, ohalleuges examination of his record. This we shall make at our leisure. Meanwhile, wo shall to-do merely indicate the sort of difficulty which lies in the way of acceptance of Mr. Chamberlain as a man likely to be equal to the task he would assume. He has been aotive in South Carolina political life for several years, and, so far as we know, has never resisted the flood of corruption whioh has poured its polluted oourse through every department and into every hole and oorner of the Sta*e Go? vernment. What efforts did he veu make to stay injastioe? As Attorney General and member of the Advisory Board of the Land Commission, he was silent and acquiescent when rob? beries and frauds were -committed in the name and ostensibiy for the bene? fit of the poor people of the State, against those very poor people them? selves. He was, as member of this board, authorized and required to ap? point a suitable Land Commissioner, and to approve his bond. The Com? missioner was to hold his office at the pleasure of the board, and be governed in all duties by their instructions und orders. It was part of tho businoss of this board to determine the price of land which tho Commissioner wus to purchase, and to inspect tho books and records of his office. Well, we know who the Commissioner, Leslie, was, and we know the rascalities and dishonesties he perpetrated. .Aud yet he was, under tho law, completely under the oontrol and in the hands of the Commissioners, of whom Mr. Chamberlain was one. He conld do nothing without their permission and sanotion. Take the oose of tho ma? nagement of the sinking fund, to which board our candidate also belonged. TheBo Commissionera were instructed to receive and manage the incomes and revenues set apart aud applied to the sinkiug fund. The proceeds wero in? tended to be applied to the payment of present indebtedneea of the State and interest. It was shamefully mis manager! , and the property sold by the commission -made vay with. Mr. Cuarnborlalh was in' several other in fluential positions. Perhaps he oonld not do muoh as a member of the State Board of Canvassers, or of the State Board of Equalization. Bat in the other boards mentioned, and as Attor? ney-General, a man of his capacity, if he had also had moral courage and a sense of indignation against wrong, might have done the State some ser? vice and won a respectable name for himself as the implacable foe of cor? ruption and fraad. But ho did neither. Now that the horse has been stolen, he makes much ado about looking the stable. He declares for reformation at this late date, but only in order to maintain the political ascendancy of his party. If he were a reformer in any proper or just sense, he would overturn the structures which he bus himself assisted to build. The Union-Herald represents the op? position as ready to do all sorts of wioked things, rather than to be baf? fled in their hopes by "the success of a purified (Badioal) organization." Try it on. If you will bring out the purified organization, (through crema? tion or otherwise,) we will not tumble the temple into ruins. There's a chance for a bargain. Trot out your purity. ?--??-? They (the opposition presB) have somehow discovered tbat we really mean reform. ? Union-Herald. Where did you discover that disco? very? It beats Columbus. Tax Union?. A meeting of the citizens of Bich? land County will be held in the Conrt House, at Columbia, on Monday, the 13th instant, at 11 o'clock A. M., for the purpose of organizing Tax-Unions. All are requested to attend who favor the protection of property, the ad? ministration of justice, the oanse of morality, and who have the manliness and virtue to make still another effort to rescue the State from those influ? ences which have made its Government a mookery and a crime, and which, if unchecked, most inevitably reduce it to a condition of barbarism. WM. WALLACE. Chairman Biohland Delegation of Tax-Payers. The new law regulating postage on newspapers does not take effect until the 1st of ^January next. After that date postage on newspapers is to be prepaid at tho office of publication, at the rate of two cents per pound. This rato will not differ materially from those at present paid by subscribers at the office of delivery. Of oourse, when the new law goes into effect, publish? ers must include the postage ic the price of the papor, to he paid in ad? vance. But as six months intervene before it goes into effect, there is time euongh for publishers and subscribers to arrange for the ohauge. The Curse op Gold.?Many years ago an old Baltimore merchant named Samuel McDonald accumulated an im? mense fortune, and, dying a bachelor, bequeathed it to his nephew William. The money old Mr. Samuel gathered in a very laborious und homely way his heir commenced spending in thu most free-handed and reckless manner. He built a splendid mansion, bought or rented an islaud for duck-shooting on thu Chesapeake Bay, drove fast horses, purchusud Flora Temple, tho racer, and was the spoil of thousands of dead-beats and gentlemanly, so called, bummers. This young man was a model of physical beuuty, and had some of the noblest traits of char? acter. Bat his very virtues were per? verted by riotous living, and especially by frequent und prodigious dram drinking. At an early age, wheu ho should have been iu tho very flower of his years, ho died from tho conse? quences of debauchery, and left a wife und two children to mourn his loss aud inherit un estate which was still fragmontarily immouse, beoanse, by the provisions of his uncle's wilt, he was not ablo to grasp aud squander it all at once. His widow is married again. His daughter, u most beauti? ful and estimable woman, is a happy wifo and mother. His son, named aftor tho original prodncer of the millions of money, has just been arrested in Baltimore, charged with the murder of a fellow-gambler. He has boon a sad declino even upon bin father's example, and illustrates how gold may bo a deadly curse when allied with uncontrolled passions und foolish parental indulgence. Tho Tennessee negrooH nre rampant for the enforcement of social equality of tho races. At a negro convention, held at Somerville, a few days since, sevoral spoakors delivered tierce speeches on the subject. One follow, by the name of Sculea Fields, in the course of his harangue, said: "Some white people say that if the Civil Bights Bill becomes a law, colored men will marry their duughtors. Well, there arosome very hnudsomo colored gentlemen, and if they do not want their daughters to marry us, they must teach them not to love us. If the Civil Bights Bill is passed, put your daugh? ters under lock and key. The Bank or tho state Loaoi. Columbia, S. C, June 27, 1874. To the Editor of the Charleston News and Courier: In yonr editorial comments of the 26th inst., on tho re? port of the committee of the Tax Payers' Convention on the Bank of the State, I observe that in speaking of those who made loans from the funds in the hands of tho receiver, you say, ''Hardy Solomon, of Columbia, oame in for 349,603." If you bad stated the whole truth about my loan no explanation would be needed from me; but your allusion is now likely to convey the impressiou thut in some way 1 am still indebted to that fund, and that tho assets havo boon dimi? nished on account of my loan. Tho facts are these: I did borrow securi? ties belonging to the assets of the bunk to the amount of $19,603, par valao, giving therefor my note, secured by other collateral. The collaterals which I deposited to secure my note were the same class on which I have frequently borrowed $20,000 from the People's National Bank of Charleston. When my note matured it was prompt? ly taken up, and the borrowed securi? ties were immediately returned to the receiver. No part of my loan wsh paid in bills of the Bank of the State. The receiver collected from me seveu per cent, interest on the pur value of the securities which I used, and also collected the interest which the securi? ties themselves bore. It will bo seen, therofore, that the loan resulted in the receiver's obtaining double interest on the securities used by me, which cer? tainly does not indicate that the fund has been depleted by any favor shown me. The publication of this stutemeut will do me all the justice I require, and will correct any erroneous inferences to which your remarks may give rise, HARDY SOLOMON. Saint on Sinnkr??And now comes Henry Ward Beechor, and talks hero sy. In bis sermon preached June 7, on "The Parable (I) of the Garden of Eden," he said, alluding to the doc? trine of the fall of man in the siDuing of Adam: "That general view, that we are con? demned on account of whut was douo for us thousands of years ago, and are held to eternal penalty for it, is so in contradiction to every sense of justice, that no man can regard it without re? pugnance. It ascribes to God attri? butes which would Cover any human ruler or parent with infamy." Not ooutent with this, Mr. Beecher oalled attention to the fact, that tho Bible's teaching of astronomy, crea? tion and the history of the race, has been completely refuted by Boience, and said: "Here and there is a man who still believes that the world wus really made in six ordinary days. Such men are twin brothers of the oldest mammies in Egypt, nnd tho mummius are the best men of the two sorts." And now comes tho letter of Henry Ward Beecher to Theodore Tiltou, in which Beeober asks Tilton's forgive? ness for the commission of crimes that are nameless, but the infamous charac? ter of which is known to ull. Beecher has stolen the livery of Heaven in whioh to serve hell. While praising God with his lips, he serves the devil with his heart. We are not surprised that such a mac as Beecher should en? deavor to refute tho teachings of the Bible. It would be a consolation to him to think that thore was no life be? yond the grave, und no hell but tho imaginary ono upon earth. This doc? trine would bo in oonsouauce with Beeoher's example. [Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel. A Pleasing Incident. ?Hon. W. D. Porter received, ou Thursday last, a communication from William W. Belkuap, Esq., Secretary of War at Washington, iu which he stated in substance that daring the burning of Columbia, he being then iu command of the Fourth Division of the Seven? teenth Army CorpB of tho Army of tho Tennessee, had personally rescued from the old capital building, just prior to its destruction, a copy of the rules of tho House of Representative* nnd the Sonate of South Carolina, bound in one volume, with tho various Aots und resolutions, containing stand? ing orders and the Constitution of the State und of tho Unitod States, and stamped Hon. W. D. Porter, President of tho Senate. That ho had retained the volume as n reminisoence of tho war, but during a recent visit of Mr. Portor to Washington, he had men? tioned the fact, and now took tho op? portunity of rotarniug it to its right? ful owner. The book is iu a perfect stato of preservation, being but slight? ly worn iu the many vicissitudes through which it has passed since 1865. On tho fly-leaf, iu Mr. Bel knap's hand-writing, are the words, "Taken from the Capitol of South Ca? rolina, at Columbia, February 17, 1865, by Mr. Wm. W. Belkuap, Gene? ral Commanding Fourth Division, 17th Army Corps, Army of tho Tennessee, and returned to Wm. D. Porter, Esq., June 20, 1H7-4, by Wm. W. Belkuap, Secrotary of War." Incidents of this kind are in themselves especially pleas? ing, as they convey an evident desire and wilhugues3 to revive- and restore pleasant footings and relations be? tween tho two eeotions of tho country. [Charleston News and Courier. Formosa.?The Japanese Govern? ment has successfully carried ont its pnrposo iu tho matter of ohustising the pirates of Formosa. The Japanese troops havo been successfully landed; nnd iu an engagement which has al? ready taken plaoo tho Jnpaueso havo been successful. China is in full sym? pathy with Japan, nnd the presump? tion is that tho Island of Formosa will bo divided between them. Japan is giving good proof that she has oaught the spirit of modern civilization. Dr. Schexok's Pulmonic Syrup. Sba Weed Tonic and Mandjuke Pills. These medioioes have undoubtedly performed more ourea of consumption than any other remedy known to the American public. They are com? pounded of vegetable ingredients, aud contain nothing which can be injuri? ous to the human constitution. Other remedies advertised as cures for con? sumption, probably contain opium, wbioh is a somewhat dangerous 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 the system, which, of course, must muke a cure impossi? ble. Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup is warranted not to coutuiu a particle of opium. It is composed of powerful but harmless herbs, which act on the lungs, liver, stomach und blood, and tbus correct all morbid secretions and expel all the diseased mutter from the body. These are tho only means by which consumption cau be cured, und as Scbenok's Pulmonic Syrup, Ken Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills ure tho only medicines which operate in this way, it is obvious they ure the only genuine cure for pulmonary con? sumption. Each bottle of this invalu? able medicine is accompanied by full directions.

It ap? pears by the correspondence that whut has been hitherto heard of the story was only Joseph's version, as he re? ported it to his wife. The only Tom Collins jokA worth printing was made at u New England college. "Mr. Collins was annonooed to speak iu the chape).

W. J. 'fait, the Rev. Charles James Scott, of Forres, Scotland, son of the late Jas. Winter Scott, of Rotherfield Park, Alton, Hampshire, to Ruth Caldwull, daughter of tho late Robert Caldwell, Esq., of Charleston, S. C. How to Cure Freckles ?Nothing easier. Take a nutmeg grater, and rub tho skiu entirely from your face and neck; then, with a hot iron, make the surface perfectly smooth. Rub well with oil of vitrol, aud cover tho face with onion tops. The next skin that grows will be white, and perfectly free from freckles. Some one who appears to know says that if a woman would paint the skin of the face blue at the corner of the eyes for a space, shading off tho di? rection of the ears, it would give u languishing softness to the counte? nance, and make tho greatest of shrews look lovely, mild und meek. Pias IX has has come into a fortune. The late Cardinal Falcinelli left him all his property, including jewels valued at 51)0,000 francs.

Commencement of the Methodist Female College.?The closing exer oises of the Columbia Female College, last evening, were of a highly interest? ing character. The chapel was hand? somely decorated with wreaths, ever? greens and dowers, and the entrance of the young debutantes upon the thea? tre of a wider and more responsible life, was attended with such demon? strations of regard and encouragement as most have shorn it of many of its trials. Unfortunately, the hall was so packed as to be uncomfortable from orowding and the heat; many were compelled to remain outside. The performances of the young ladies were creditable to their capacity, were in good taste and evinced studious and successful application. The number of flowery tributes bestowed by the audience evinced their gratification.

Habitual Constipation?How to Effect a Certain and Permanent Cure.?Some oooupations of life pre? dispose to costiveneBS, more especially which which allow but little exercise. Persons who contract this unfortunate habit of body, under euch circum? stances, might possibly be relieved by changing their sedentary employments for others of a more active kind; but this is by no means oertain. Habit? ual constipation is a very obstinate dis? order. All the ordinary so-called remedies invariably aggravate it. No? thing can be more injurious than the oontinned use of strong aperients. They at first irritate, and finally al? most paralyze the bowels, rendering them so torpid that enormous doaes of cathartic medicines have no effect upon them. A mild aperient, com? bined with a gentle stimulant, is the true remedy; and a combination in the happiest proportion of these in? gredients is found in Hostotter's Sto? mach Bitters. This famous stomachic invigorates the whole intestinal canal, while quietly removing from its con? volutions all impediments to a free passage through them. No mere pur? gative has this double operation. No ordinary stimulant effects the desired object. Cases of constipation aban? doned as hopeless by distinguished medical men, have been cured in a few weeks by the Bitters. To those who have tried all the medicines of the dis? pensary in vain, we say try this irre? sistible stimulant and aperient. There is no sufficient reason why constipa? tion should be the consequence of se? dentary habits. Hoatetter's Bitters, by supplying the vigor which would otherwise be derived from exercise, will, in all cases, enable the system to perform its excretory functions regu Dr. J. B. Wilson's Educational Sermon at the Presbyterian Church. "Let the women keep silence in the churches." Such was the text from which the Rev. J. R. Wilson, of Co? lumbia, preached on Sunday evening ?being the commencement sermon to the ladies of the Charlotte Institute for Young Ladies. The eloquent di? vine eloquently portrayed woman in all her different spheres. He entreated her to pay less attention to the gilded allurements of sooietyV, and advised her to acqoiro that whioh is more valu? able, and upon which true womanhood is based. To secure this, he spoke of the necessity of having schools pre? sided over by those who will inculcate religious principles and teach them the real duties of life, and not the mere accomplishments that fit her fox the ball-room. He dosed by speaking in high terms of commendation of the school we have in our midst. Taken all in all, it was one of the most elo? quent as well as practical sermons ? ever listened to, and we mentally .. ? solved never to let an opportunity of listening to so graoeful and accom? plished a speaker pass unimproved. larly and healthily.
