COLUMBIA, S. C. Sunday Morning, July 12,1874. Hot Advisable?Mb.? the Strong; Posi? tion* We' observe a disposition in some quarters to make a Conservative nomi? nation for Governor. Every now and then, we read in the papers something like this! "Without disparagement to the claims of othexe," &o,, "Colonelor General or Honorable So and-So is. moat| respect fully i presented for the s?uitMgaa of his fetlow-vitisd?? for .the distinguished position of Governor," &o. We regard this aa very ill-timed and ill-advised. As.things stand, it is hopeless to try to elect a Governor from the Conservative side. A Con? servative, .flpntd , only, be elected, if at all, by unworthy opropsomise. . /The attempt would result in failure, or, U it sqoeeedod, would db the Consorva-1 two oaqde' boil' &*& .good;. \ V.Withoui disparag^mentr therefore, to the' me? nu of Hon. So-and.So and Col. This and That, we think' they ought to re-, press thei^aBpiratidn's,'or give them a more Useful and praptical, turn, > They should not permit indiscreet friends to osa> their names, prematurely to dis? tract bur own counsels, and to solidify the ranks of <?ur opponents. Wo have no> patience with the idle display of snob small ambitions. The claims which we respect' are the claims to serve the State in any position, how? ever, humble, It is work, not official position, which* trne men should aim ah* There is a vast amount of work to ie -dbrc. There is a great deal to lasen, ?od. stach to be unlearnt. We musfBor pitiont, bide oar time, work in the tax onions, form our organiza? tions, enlighten the public mind, fuse the mass with one will, deliberately settle upon a purpose and policy, and 8teraljf,carry it OUt. Things are work ivfy'xtwattfoily now, and auch a condi? tion of the public mind is being formed all over this country as will make it possible for patriots here to seotrcs their lost righta, and to restore the l?st integrity, decency, honor and credit'of the State. But they mast be in earnest, and not allow their ener-v gies to be mis-spent, or to be frittered ?way upon any man's aspiring pro jeots, or the shallow and narrow sug? gestions of those who do not patiently examine and take in tho whole field. If the Conservatives were able to eject a Governor just now. it won Id do very little, if any, good, unless, oon oarrently with it, other important changes could be effected. Some such changes can be made, and by them? selves may be of oonspionous advan? tage to os. Ia our judgment, the place to look to is the Legislature. There it is practicable to secure a bet? ter and larger Conservative representa? tion. We have had a few useful and diligent, members. We ought to gain considerable in number and improve upon the quality of several who were in the last Legislature. Iu all the Counties where elections for the Se? nate are to take place this fall, the people, where they can elect, should look most oarefolly to it, that they send their very best men. The State calls now for the service* of men of mind, thoogbt, courage, industry and policy?men above the sospioion of the possibility of any undue influenoe being gained over them by even the most sednotlve and powerful means. And so of the elections to the House of Representatives. Wherever men of the kind we have outlined can be got in as members, it is the bounden duty of tbeir Counties to send them. The test which should be everywhere ap? plied is that of honesty, capacity and character. Not only in Counties classed as Conservative, bat every? where in the State, wherever a good man and good member can be elected, it ought to be done. A minority that knows its mind, representing an ear? nest and aroused oonstituonoy, that will not take part in or even indirectly enoourage legislative trioks and bar? gains, that will hold the reckless ma? jority to the strictest acoount, and check and baffle where it cannot de? feat it in every , corrupt measure, and track it and expose it in every vile snbterfoge and underground job, can seonre to tue people some present re? lief, and be the advanced and trusted guard of the larger, broader, more de? termined movement, whose roar we are listening to hear. It is all-impor? tant to have capable, strong men in the Legislature. Even Mr. Chamber? lain, onr political antipode, tells ns that suoh men will shame the Ignorant and vioions into deoenoy, and frighten ihem from orime. "Who does not know," he says, "that the presence of one honest man puts to flight a band et robbers?" A Vain SutjteiTug?. On the 4th of 0nly, in addresses de-, livered in Anderson, Jamea 6tr, Esq., and ex-?oTomor BroWn, pf Georgia, advocated the policy of "ejt Oludlng carpet-baggers." By oarpet "baggers, they evidently meant that olass of imported politicians who have devoted themselves to the business of oajoliog the colored veteraand slippiug into offices by playiug upon their igno ranoe aud prejudices uud then stealing whatever they cud lay their hands upon. Whatever they meant, we be? lieve the speakers are knowb as Re? publicans. It is funny, therefore, to read in the Radical organ of this city a homily Upou the text they furnished, but disingenuously fathering the ad? vice these, -speakers gave, with its own peculiar I gloss put upou it, to those whom it is pleased to call in one place the opposition, in another the Demo oratf?. ? iXuis is one of the iBsuea that the opposition will try to force into the campaign." "The Democrats are always playing upon thje string." We beg your, pardon. You- misrepresent. You don't know what the opposition intends to do. We have our ideas of What,,,', carpet bagger aud scalawag mean and. of how .they ought to be treated; But don't manufacture either opinions, policy or facts for those into whose counsels you are not admitted. And if speakers on your side advance ideas which you wish to oondemn, do it without first- momooking ' them up, (as they say in Africa,) and then try? ing to make it appear that they are the ideas of Demoorata. The Savannah lttver Valley. Oar neighbors of Augusta are die onsBing the projsot of openiog the re? sources of the Savannah River by im? provement of its navigation, making it navigable to its bead waters. It is estimated that it would in a short time quadruple' the wealth of the section thus to be more effectually drained. A preliminary survey of the upper river is proposed. Upon this, when properly made, and upon the vast ad vantages oeing exhibited, it is thought that it will not be diffioolt to get a handsome appropriation by the Gene? ral Government. The Savannah Val? ley embraces ten Counties in Georgia *rSoriven, Burke, Riobmond, Colum? bia, Lincoln, Wilkes, Elbeit, Ogle thorpe, Hart and Franklin; and five in South Carolina?Barnwell, Fjgo fiald, Aubeville, Pickens and Ander? son. The dimensions of territory amount to 5,082,331 acres, or nearly 8,000 square miles. It yielded in 1870 3,543,711 bushels of corn, and 109,3-15 bales of cotton, besides wheat, rye, oats, potatoes, &c. It is a magnificent territory in extent, being pqnal to that of Connecticut, Delaware aud Rhode Island, in produotiveness. Tbeaoheme for its improvement should not be lost sight of. The Counties in this Stato bordering upon the river oontaiu more thau half the whole area to be benefited, aud more than half the crops to be moved. It is matter of deep interest .to ihe people of these Counties, and th y will, we trust, not be backward in advancing the scheme of improvement. ?-??-? Tax Union*. The work of organizing tax unioos is going on in good earnest all over the State. We have noticed, particularly, the meotings which have recently been held with this view in Charleston County, Barnwell, M-irion, Korshaw, Oraugebnrg, Sumter, Fair field aud Edgefleld, besides those of au eurlier date. The people know what they are about. They are, from a sense of duty, overcoming their repugnance to associations. This repugnance is na? tural, under the cirouinstances. But they recognize, now, that the indi? vidual hau not the same power and independence that he onoe onjoyed. He must co-operate with his neigh? bors. Ho mast learn that in union is strength. Thoro will bo great use for these uniouB. Issues ore before the i country whioh will require us to work as one man, We must Btrivo to attain harmony aud unity, and bo ready for events which time is rapidly ripening. We truot that Riohland contains a re speotable remnant of men who have not bowed the knee to Baal or relinquished all sense of their just rights. Let them organize to-morrow, as their friends have done in other Counties, and get ready to do their part in the coming drama. Death by Lightning.?At Union Springs, Alabama, on Sunday last, two young men (brothers, named Mo An? drew,) were instantly by lightning, the same bolt striking each one. They were sitting on a front piazza, near, eaoh other, when struok. Both were thrown to the floor, dead. They had just returned with their sister from Taskegee, where she had graduated a few days previous. Tax Culom. .A meeting." of the citizops of Bich Sud''County m\l be held io the Court ouae, af Colombia, on Monday, the 18th;, instant, at 11 o'clock A/M., for the purpose of organizing Tax-TJnioni. All ate. requested to attend who favor the protection of property, .the ad? ministration of justice, the cause of morality, and who have the manliness j and virtue to make still another effort to rescue tho" Btato from those ioflo-1 eaces which have made its Government a mockery aud a crime, and winch, if I unchecked, mu?t' inevitably reduce it to a condition,of barbarism.. j WM. WALLACE. Ohairman Riehland Delegation of Tax-Payers. Con . ?poud, m c uf llie rimnu. Williamsxon fcri'KiNcs, July 10. Greenville, from which place I have just returned to this, is .rapidly ap? proaching, in development aud varied iimprovements, the status pf a city. Reedy River, an evenly flowing stream, ! passes centrally through it. The "Falls" is a pleasant retreat to ad? mirers, of tho pioturefque aud a de? lightful trystiug place to enamored lovers/ Toe growth of the phice, hoe been in rapidly increased ratio since the completion of the Air Line Rail? road. New residences, stores and manufactoriesappear on. all bands. Trade is brightening up and merchants adding to their already large stock, in order to be ready for the influx of summer visitors. Your correspond? ent, was, unluckily, a little too late in arriving to attend the college com? mencement. The examinations, I learu, wero creditable to professors aud pupils. Siuco coming here, 1 have been quartered at your old friend Deal's, whose kid and fried chicken I have board you commend. He has a few visitors uow, but in a few days expects to be crowded. The miueral spring, whiob has been to so many a veritable fountain of health, is now being neatly enclosed und will include an area of about three hundred yards t-:quure. It is to bo handsomely laid out and planted in flowers. It is, of course, the principal attraction, but a young feiiow like myself loves to | linger under its shade trees, in the hope of catching an occasional glauco of the fair tlemoiseUes who atteud the Female College, hard by. When that pleasure fails, he must, perforce, re? cline, sub legmh\e fagi upou the greeu lawn and watch the waving fuliago of tuu towering trees, as the zephyrs gently whisper through their branches. Further down ou the Greenville and Columbia Railroad, the nothrashed wheat, as it stands stocked iu the fields, cannot but uttraet the eye. It bus been stated that the crop of wheat will be a larger one than ever before made in this section of the country, which fact causes gladness to tho hearts of all who appreciate the bless? ings of plenty. Newberry, to which I shall go to? morrow, is a growing town, aud the merohants do a thriving business. It is one of the best uud largest cotton markets in the State. The people are prosperous and hospitable, and know how to spend generously as well as to hoard carefully. I am sorry to have to leave this charming place before the commence-j ment of tho Female College, under the management of Rev. Mr. Lander. But I must be opk. PARACELSUS. Impohtaxt to TbaVSLEBS ?A lady correspondent writes: Travelers going Northward, via Wil? mington, mast take the night train from Columbia to make the quick trip. Tho-u) going via Charlotte, the noon traiu. By remembering this, all vexa? tions delays by either route will be avoided. The South Carolina Rail road ours make connection with the elegant Now York steamers, and sel? dom have accidents. Excursion tick ets are selling to and from Charleston,; Columbia and Augusta by tho hun? dred. Numbers of persons are passing through Columbia on their way up the country to the springs and other plea? sure resorts. The railroads from Co? lumbia are in line condition and well patronized. Many Northtruers who spent the winter iu Florida are deter? mined to retnrn next fall to South Ca? rolina?having been convinced that the dry, pure air of Carolina is better than the warm, damp climate on the St. Johu's River, in Florida. Excur? sion tickets are a blessing to the entire conntry?enabling many families to enjoy pleasant trips to the Northern cities, as well as to our own springs aud mountains. ?-???? The Comet.?The Wilmington Star indulgeth in a "joak," and thus speaks of the heavenly visitor: We have never known a more unre? liable comet, so to speak, thnu tho one now visiting us. It is called a Swilt comet, but we have never known one more tardy in its movements, except that it bus a steady "downward tend? ency." It has been said that it "could a tail unfold," but if it o*u it makes mighty sorry advances in that direc? tion. It is "oomio"-al to witness the gyrations which characterize its caudal appendage. It is changed from one point of the compass to the other with faoility equal to that of a "cattle beast" in fly-time, and "it abideth not iu one place." The astronomers say it is ap? proaching the earth at the rate of 1,800 miles a minute. If this be the case, we move that a posse comet-at-us be sum? moned at once to require it to "turn tail" und take a different direction. Others learned in the movements of the heavenly bodies say no danger is intended or should be apprehended, and would like to persuade oar visitor to prolong its engagement, but are now pretty well convineed that they "oan't oome-'t!"

Ex-Governor R. K. Scott addressed u gathering of colored citizens ut Jen - kiusville, on theltb. He told hisjbear ers that the condition of uffuir? here was dreadful, aud that thore must be u reform. He depicted in glowiug colors the corruption of the last Legislature, aud warued the people to send better men. He told them to have one hon? est, intelligent white mau, even if they bave to go to the "Democrats" to Sud one. If you do not, said he, tax-pay? ers will refuse to pay taxes, aud you cannot muke them do it. He told them not to send down such men as Stenb Milier and Leu. His remurks were ad? mirable. Cuppa' Western Lund Owner, for! July, contains the folio wing: "There are remaining in the General Land Office, undelivered, more than 300.000 patents for agricultural iaod. Of this number, about 75,000 are from Illi? nois and nearly as muuy from Indiana and Missouri. Among them are pa? tents sigued by Monroe and by every other President up to Lincoln's time. The cause for this accumulation of patents ie in the fact that many laud owners believe that the duplicate re? ceiver's reoeipt is sufficient evidence of title to the land. It ought cot to be so regarded, and the matter should be attended to or trouble will arise. Mrs. Allen Jones, with her married daughter and infant, were thrown from a baggy by a rouaway mole, near Jouesboro, Ga., last Saturday.

A National Ckktuixcatk ?Among ? the medioinai successes of modern times. Host tutor's Stomach Bitters has been one of the most remarkable. Its popularity- is uoprecedouted, but can? not be called astonishing^ inasmuch as no man of common sense is astonished that the most effective asd wholesome tonio and alterative saieape has ever brought to the reeeae of the sick or offered as a safeguard against disease should be, in all but universal use. If ever a proprietary 'medicine received a spontaneous national certificate. Hob tetter's Bitters is that medicine. Medi? cal men approve and prescribe it. Wherever it has fair play, it taken the place of the adulterated stimulants which have so long diegraoed the dis? pensary and the hospital, and promi? nent members of every profession and calling have testified, in the most emphatic language, to its curative and protective properties. Daring a triumphant career of Dearly a quarter of a century, hundreds of nostrums have been started in opposi? tion to the great tonic, with the hope of attracting a portion of the patronage bestowed opon it. Not one of these preparations has bad any permanent suooess. Many have gone to the limbo of things despised; others are tottering to their fall. Neither fiery astringents nor soul-scouring mixtures have been accepted by a wide-awake publio as an equivalent for the genial vegetable restorative; and as long as Hostetter's Bitters prevent and cure dyspepsia, biliousness, nervous diseases, constipa? tion, fever and ague, rheumatism and; general debility, and these empirical preparations do not, the tried specific will be in the ascendant. Truth is mighty, and will prevail. July 12 \*'\ Schenck's Sea Weed Tonio:?In the atmosphere experienced here during the summer months, the lethargy pro? duced by the beat takes away the de? sire for wholesome food, and frequent perspirations reduce bodily energy, particularly those suffering from the effects of debilitating diseases. In order to keep a natural healthful ac? tivity of the system, wo must resort to artificial means. For this purpose, Sohenck's Sea Weed Tonio is very effectual. A few doses will oreale an appetito and give fresh vigor to the onorvated body. For dyspepsia, it is invaluable. Many eminent physicians have doubted whether dyspepsia can be permanently cured by the drugs which are generally employed for that purpose. The Sea Weed Tonio, in its nature, is totally diflfuront from such drugs. It contains no corrosive mine? rals or acids?in faot, it assists the re? gular operations of nature, aud sup? plies her deficiencies. The Tonic, in its nature, so much resembles the gas trio juioo, that it is almost ideotioal with that fluid. The gastric juioe is the natural solvent which, in a healthy condition of the body, oauses the food to be digested; and when this juice is not excreted in sufficient quan? tities, indigestion, with all its distress? ing symptoms, follows. The Sea Weed Tonio performs the duty of tho gastric juice when the latter is deficient. Sohenck's Sea Weed Tonio is sold by all druggists.
