COLUMBIA, S. C. Friday Morning. July 3.1874. Hr. D. El. Chamberlain Dlsouassd Again. In disoussing the pretensions of Mr. Ohamberlain as a reform candidate for Governor of Booth Carolina, we have picked the most moderate language that we could And. He is'a.' public" man, seeking a pnblia position, once held "honorable, and it i? our right aooV duty to examine.ifitg bis-yhnmH. We wers disposea to' .waili before saying anything.more until some honest effort woBiimada to relieve Mr. Chamberlain from the position in which we have placed him,. Haying. ,indio*ted diffi? cult ioa in the way of aooeptirjg him as a reformer, we proposed to rest there and make ezonrsions into other and more grateful fiel da; This purpose we have to abandon to-day, in order to . say a mild word to the Union-Her q^t aad^ glance,,again, at Mr. Qhs!?ber lain'a record, or want of record, as:the Oase may be. I What the Union-Harald eaye may. bo true, that it the Dnmoi orate hate Mr. O. "most bitterly," "they mast have eomo goodJrcason for it," and, therefore, (that i?y because i be has given Democrats good cause *o hate him,) "he is a pretty aefe; man to tie to in the oomiag campaign." < This ?ort of argument in his favo^ may be accounted a-good one in Radical oir* olea and with the Union-Herald, but we are sorry for Mr. Ohamberlain if no baa to depend upon such am muni? tion as that. It is more likely to hurt than to help hjm. Hart him it wili, ? and badly, too.' As far ub, we are not on this plane at alt We have no can? didate for Governor, neither Radical nor Conservative, ? and although the Union-Herald says so, it is not so, that the Conservatives are aiming at office in any way. It can think of nothing bat petty and office. We havo no party hot the State, we Want no office ^!>ut that of overthrowing the dirty set who contaminate heir Service. This is our work. We are in earnest about it. But in discharging it, we shall pursue * coarse not laid down in the chart by whioh the Union-Herald is steered. Mr. Ohamberlain being a so-called reform candidate lor Governor, we have called his" attention to his own views oa proportional representation by cumulative voting, expressed in the Tax-Payers' Convention in May, 1871, as we find them in the proceedings and copied into "The Prostrate State." Is there anything., bitter in that? He promised the taxpayers at that time, to secure them this right. If conceded, it would be one of the most valuable and practical resources of the Conservatives of the State. ? Its advantages were then shown by Mr. Chambbrlaitt' to be such as would enure to the benefit of all classes, including even the Radicals themselves. He urged that the measure would result hi shaming raeoals and rogues into de cenqy, and in frightening them from crime. Bat he stopped just there. We havaj never heard, in ail this weary stretch of time from May, '71, to the present day, that he has attempted to make good his promise. He hss had many opportunities, but not improved tbem. He even now preserves a sus? picions silence npon the whole matter. He says nothing about it in his talk on reform to the Times' correspondent. We sought ourselves, some weeks ago, to elioit his present views on it. We were anxious to have him pursue the line of advice to his party, to adopt a measure wbioh he had himself indi? cated as wise, just and right. But he keeps mum. Now, what has tho Union-Herald to say about this equivo oal position of Mr. Chamberlain? It says that the Democrats hate him; that we, "the Paotmx in particular," "out? rageously abuses" him. If that wero ao, it would not help Mr. Chamber? lain's inconsistency and short-coming. But the Union-Herald, if it knows any? thing, knows this not to be the fuut. Why don't it, if it oao, instead o! this paltry stuff, help its man from the pre dioament we have placed him in, in reference to the question of propor? tional representation, in reference to the epurioas and shallow reform he hints ~t *n the Times' correspondence, and in reference to his course wbile Attorney-General, member of the Ad? visory "Board of the Land Com? mission and member of the Sink? ing Food Commission? Let it show, if it can, that his skirts are clear, bis record good, his fitness such as cannot be ohallenged. That would be more creditable than picking up eorapa of alung and throwing tbem recklessly, about. fc^We should be pleased ourselves to find that Mr. C. had always been vigilant to oppose wrong, had worked in his party for the good of the ooan try, and done bis best to put down thieves in offloe. If this can be shown, weVhatf not~S? elopr t$S rejfog^ze\it.

'Did they ap? point a rc popsible and proper man whe-u they appointed Kim p ton? We cannot bora go into tho subjeot of the bond fniada, tho reckless spoliation on the State in tlie ieane, circulation and hypothecation of bonds. They werev'so excessive and fraudulent, that the power of the Legislature had to be invoked to validate, them. Mr. Cbam borlpin was then on the Financial Board1/and under the. law, tho Finau aial 'Board had the whole thing in their hands. Tho name of the frauds is legion.. How, for example, did it happen that Acts of the Legislature, which authorized the issue of bonds On whioh to -borrow ? money within a 3 er tain time, were violated by .their hypothecation for that purpose, after tho limit fixed by law had been reached?' Add not only so, but a larger amount raised on them than was authorized? |For this and sneh as this, and the half has never been told, the Finanoial,Board ill largely respon? sible, and Mr.' Ohamborlain was not LheVe*et influential member of it.

All are requested to attend who favor the prbtcotibn of property, the ad? ministration of Justice, the oauBe of morality, and who .have the manliness and virtue to make still another effort to rescue the State from those influ? ences which bavs>made its Government a mockery and a orime, and whioh, if nnebeCked, must inevitably red nee it to a condition of barbarism. wm. Wallace, Chairman. Richlind Delegation of Tax-Payers. In "Notes of Travel," a correspond? ent of the Union says: As we progressed farther toward the centre of Europe we observed that fe? male degradation beoame more and more marked. In Brussels and Co? logne we had Been a few females at work, street sweeping, or performing some light manual labor, bot here we found them eugaged in all the more coarse and groveling kinds of work, from carrying brioks and mortar to the top of two-story buildings, to driving scavenger oarts and cleaning out sewers. Females were at work in the Holds reaping and mowing, und load? ing wagons witb hay or grain, some were ploughing and others hoeing, while there were no idlers to be seeu of either sex. We were not u little puzzled witb geographical names at almost every plaoe along our route. The text books of our school-boy days had been of little aotual value, sicco we were una? ble to find any of the places with whioh we bad been familiar. Antwerp was Anvers, Cologne was K?ln, May ence, Mainz and Munich went under the musical cognomen of Minchon. Tho people know these places by no other name, so that when an American, unaware of tho defect in his googra pby, asks for a prominent plaoe aa he has been taught its nume from his youth, no one oau toll him the least about it. We asked for Vienna, but no one knew the Austrian capital by that name. Throe of tho Charleston appointees on tho Governor's staff having do olined, the following comical order has been issued: Headquarters National Guard, Adjutant-General's Office, July 1, 1871. Special ORDsns No. 29.?Paddy Miles' boy won't stand the pressure. No stall doty for tbem. Our native young Governor can't fool the Colts. They won't furnish the chanoo to be removed without cause. H. w. PURVIS, Adjutant and Inspector-General. Mr. Wm. Boyd, of Book Hill, died last week. Indemnity vbou Spain.?It ia at length announced that Mr. Gushing, Iir-ttimsUr to Spuin, lately arrived at adw. Ma, ihder iustrnotions.from tie (Aveiam&t of the United State*, and m accordance with the protocoVJra mgarfl to thoryfruinius affair, rn^di'a jBieJa^.toryjdjb)and upon the Spanish/ Go vorn m out for full iudemnity to the unfortunate victims of the Santiago massaore.. This viU be gratifying news, to all'Amerida'ftB who wish to sea their 'Governmentprompt in' reTRessing' wrongs inuioted by foreign nations npon its people, aud also to ull the friends of'humanity. While we regret tbat the United States should bo be? hind the British Government, iu mak? ing such u demand, still it is bettor late thuu never. The Amerieun posi? tion iu rogard to tbo Sautiago massa? cre is, to say the least of it, quite uu strong as thut of Gre&t Britaiu. Thero was a period iu the history of this couutry, before wa had encumbered ourselves with un e?ormuu? national debt, and had pursued u domestic policy calculated to estrange und em? bitter our own people, when our posi? tion would have been promptly recog? nized and acted upon.^ It would be diffiu3j&?o imagine thut under such an admioutrution as thut of Audrow Jackson, any foreign nat ion wonld have attempted violence, or wrong to American citizens. The summary manner iu which he handled tbe Spaniards iu Florida when, in 1818, be seized a Spanish fort aud a Spanish town, aud made the power of his country felt aud reverenced by the Spanish Government, aud this when the Uuited Status watt comparatively u weak power, shows that neither Spain nor any other country would ever trifle with Amtrioun rights or Amoncau aiiiijfetfs while such a spirit as that ui Jackson controls the helm of state. At thBjwim?'timo. it 'it, right tu admit that MnObantry under Jackson's ad? ministration, though less .populous tuao.h^wy'was free from debt mid ita people./united among themselves, whereajjhpw tbe dominant party, by pursuing a1 policy which enta^algreater wrong? |kud injury upou one aepliou tbanufey have ever snffered--from u foreign'foe, has induced such goveru mou^as Spain to believe that'We will be indifferent to trespasses and insults, wbiobVtio not interfere with our'own malignity towards one another.. Even Spaiu wilt have moce real considera? tion for tbe Uuited States if we com? pel liar to render us justice. The Spanish name has become synonymous with cruelty und barbarity, to whioh will soon have to be uddud political impotenoy. Her factions have been fighting at home for the control of their own Government, until it would really seem as if it were uu act of hu? manity in the civilized governments of Eurone to interfere, aud by force of arms compel Spain to keep the peace in her, owndominions. As for Ouba, it exists as' a colony of Spain only by our aujferuuce. With a breath of Our moutb, we cau blow it uway from her at any time, but we would prefer that Spam ^respond to the .demand of Mr. Gashing, und make the most full and complete indemnity .for tbe Sautiago ma9saoxo. und then-reform herself aud her mjjforablu Cuban oolony. \r.%- ? y [Baltimore tiqn. SOtiXU CAitonora.?The nause of South Carolina in-aitiacling , attentiou everywhere, aud it is not impossible that her condition will be ameliorated, very soon, by outside pressure orougbt to haar upou tbat element of power whieh ia most effectual. The St. Louis Republican says "one word from President Grant will work the deliver auce of South Carolina. One word from him freed Arkausas from the whole regime of scoundrels who hud fastened their beaks in her vitals, changed anarchy into peaoe, substi? tuted liberty for oppression, aud turned disaffection iuto contentment. Why has it never occurred to the Pre? sident to use the public patronage for the relief of Sooth Carolina? Why has it nevor occurred to th? New York Times to advise it? If it were whis? pered throughout the State that Presi? dent Grant had withdrawn his counte? nance from the local Republican party which supports Gov. Moses and his accomplices, and if the rumor were continued by tbe peremptory dis? missal of a dozen Republican office? holders and tbe appointment of us many non-Republicans in their places, the work would bo begun and ended at the same time. Muses and his con? federate thieves and robbers wouid quail beforo the uutxpected frown of the President, und the whole fabric of South Carolina villainy would tumble to the grouud in a day, as did tbe whole fabric of Arkansas villainy, in similar circumstances." Liberty of speech is not to be couut ed among tbe blessings of living under tbo government of Emperor William, j of Germnuy. A sentence of imprison? ment for a year and u half bns beeu passed upon a deputy, Herr Most, for certain speeches delivered by him at some meetiug of working men. Tbe most serious charge made agaiust him was tbat he bad denounced u stuudiug army. This was regarded by the minis? ter of war, Vou Kameke, as an insult to the members of the army, and tbo prosecution was sot on foot at his re? quest. Wbat aro called General Sherman'* headquarters, but Which are more properly his hindquarters, bavo been removed to St. Louis. The General and a few staff officers coustitute the "headquarters." and us they have no? thing to do tbey might as well be in one place as another. Tbe removal morely shows that thero is bud feeling between the headquarters and the Ad? ministration. j Louisville Courier Journal, . .While attempting to arrest a colored man, named Lewis Cleaveland, in Toc oofk "City.
