COLUMBIA, 8. CLI Friday Morning, Jaly 17,1874. tub Kvll ot Keeping Up a. Standing | Army In South. Coreltnn. We have taken oooasioo, more than 1 onee, to say that no dissatisfaction is felt at the presonoe of the United States troops in Colombia upon any I ^personal grounds. They oondaotl -themselves, offloers and men, with pro? priety, and by their discretion, temper the unpleasantness of the sort of duty -opon which they are kept. The popu? lar and accepted view of their business 'horo has been that, in addition to giv? ing assistance, when necessary, in the ?olleotion of the internal revenue, they bolstered the State Government. Fori ?.this Star^ Government, having grown to be a tyranny and an ontrage, and as Mr. Pike, a Republican writer, says, "ahngesystem of brigandage," does -not rest upon any moral basis at all. Jit cannot stand alone. In the absence ? of tbe oonsont and approval of the ? intelligent citizens, who recognize ?-moral obligation, in the utter banish-1 xment from its administration of affairs of the higher intellect and the higher moral sentiments of the people, it' has to sock its security in brute force. Senator Robertson was undoubtedly -??*iflht in saying to the President, that ? the mass of tbe people, black and ? whifee/believed that the forces are kept " here far .tho purpose of sustaining tbe - State Government. That opinion is ; perfectly nataral and just, for they ; v. have accomplished exactly that pur? pose. Few as they were, they symbo ? Jized the power and willingness of the General Government to repress every j impulse of contempt, every movement - -of indignation, which the people , , might feel or make against their op-1 t pressurs. They have accordingly been , '? hold down under their dirty heels, v. until the world has found it out, and ..najv-HCvhu'ir everewhere, over all this ""broad country, the ory of "Shame! shame 1" We are gratified, wo are more than ??thankful, to learn from the President that, in keeping the troops here, it is not meant that they sustain the State Government This shows that he feels and shrinks from the opprobrium of bolstering auch a foul oonoern. If .he, however, will take the trouble to look a little farther into our affairs, he will find that whatever purpose ha may keep tbe troops here for, the mass of tbe people, as represented by Sena? tor Robertson, are oorreot in attribut? ing to them the effect of upholding the ? State Government. He can read the admission of this substantially almost .any morning in tho journals of the party. It leans upon this foreign forco. It looks anxiously every day to Washington. It dreads tbe hour when an order shall be issued whioh shall remove from its cringing gaze the stars and stripes, emblem of liberty every? where else, but here the symbol whioh protects a deapioable tyranny. Every? where else it waves in pride aud honor; ' here its folds dip into the cess-pool of corruption, aod flap approvingly over infamy and Bhame. The President has become sensible of this corruption and tyranny, but whatever suggestions he may make for their extirpation, however excellent and effectual they might be if adopted under other oir ?onmstanoes, they can have but little influenoe, so long as the national flag is used to cover and protect wrongs they are aimed at. If the President would inaugurate a genuine reform, if hewonld do a measure of justice to? wards those who have long felt the evils of its absence, if he would lift Sooth Carolina from her prostrate condition, aud make ber once more a Sinte?ft Republican State, in faot as well SB in name?let him not longer ase the powers of the Government, silent and quiet though they be, to enrb her proud and heroio race of men into submission to the will of the eoom of the age, the pioked villains of the country. Whoever else would assist to relieve ibis State of bad government, whoever would remove the nightmare which benumbs its limbs and enthralls its spirit, let him not advooate tho reten? tion of the troops here any longer. There is no danger of outbreak, there is not a threat against tbe public peace, there is not tbe shadow of a ghost of the Kn Klux. There is not, and there has not been for years, any necessity for the use of the troops in a legitimate way to repress violenoe. Desirable and necessary as it is to maintain the laws of the Government and to collect its revenue, it aertainly cannot be maintained that thi) can only bo done by suoh display of force in a State as, oombioed with other eaases, keeps down intelligence under ignor.mco, sacrifices property to the proletaire, raises np a body of men to oolleot aud squander taxes of which they pay no'appreciable part, tarns back the coarse of oivilizatiou and refinement, stifles education end brings barbarism over the land. Professor Rivets. From the Charlestowu (Maryland) Transcript wo learn that the exercises at the annual commencement of Wash? ington College, at that plaoe, were of unusual interest. Professor Rivers, known so long and so favorably in con? nection with the South Carolina Col? lege, has been a professor in this institution for the last year, aad is u decided acquisition to it. He worthily represents in a sister State the charac? ter of our people, the learning of our soholars and the skill of our teaohers. On the evening before the commence? ment proper, he delivered an address before the Mount Yernon Literary So oiety, on "the connection of epic poems with the history of the times in which they were written," and on the pablio day, a praotical discourse on educa? tional matters, which is to be published in the Transcript. We are pleased to beat- of the success of an old friend, and of the high consideration felt for him in his new home. Governor Alooea ami Jmlge Mackey. As an aot of justice, having copied the remarks of Jndge Maokey referred to, we publish a cote sent to ns from the Executive office, in reference to the number of pnrdous granted in the Sixth Judicial Circuit. It shows that out of forty-oue pardons and commu? tations, Judge Mackey personally ap? plied for twenty-eight. This does not help the Governor at all; but it shows that Judge Mackey aided and encour? aged .him in that course of reckless pardon which he now so stoutly con? demns. <-??-? Executive Dkpabtment, Columbia, July 16, 1874 To the Editor of the Phoenix?Sir: You aopy, in yoar issue of this morn? ing, a quotation from the remarks made by Judge Maokey in sentencing a prisoner in Lancaster County, a few days sgo, concluding with the follow? ing words: "I'do, therefore, in the name of violated law, protest against Executive clemenoy being extended in this cuse by the Chief Magistrate, F. J. Moses, Jr., who has so prostituted the pardon? ing power as to make the administra? tion of the criminal law a mockery of justice and convert the broad seul of the State iuto a symbol of approved crime." It is proper to state that the records of this department show that of the forty-one pardons and commutations granted by Governor Moses during bis term of office to persons cocvioted in Judge Maokey's Circuit, twenty eight of them were grauted on the written application of Judgo Mackey himself. Yery respectfully, your obe dient servant, L. J. NOAH. Assistant Private Secretary. There is great reason to fear that the party of moral ideas is lo?ing its hold upon Harper's Weekly. Iu the lust number of that journal, Mr. Nast, whose caricatures have often brought the g-nial grin to the Republican oouutenanco, 'has a picture which we are afraid will be regarded by the faithful as "disloyal." It represents Grant crouching in the Presidential chair. Ou the table is a paper marked "Richardson as Judge of Claims," and on the floor a scroll, insoribed "Shep? herd rejected by the Senate, by an overwhelming majority." Columbia, with a curved lip and un expression of the utmost contempt, is leaving the room, but tnrnB to point the finger of scorn at tho cringing Executive. The inscription is: "Don't let us have any more of this nonsense. It is a good thing to stand by one's friends; but?" One after another the "Kings of tho Turf" are led limping from the track, never to return. The mighty exer? tions to whioh they are put to compass a mile in a minute and a tow seconds over, destroys the tension of the mns oleB and breaks the ligament when its elasticity has left it. Harry BaBsett, Longfellow and a half dozen other noted racers, have, within the last two years, retired with swollen pasterns, xud their names aro no longer seen in the "entries." On Friday, the favorite of the seaBon, "Tom Bowling," broke down at Monmontb Park, and was sent to bis stable with a swollen foro-leg. We believe that this is the fourth valu? able horse that haB been disabled at Monmouth Park daring the present meeting. ?>. The sea is tho largest of all cemete? ries, and its slumborers sleep without monuments. All other grave-yards, in all other lands, show some distinction between the great and small, the rieh and poor; but in the oooan cemetery, the king aad down, the prinoe and peasant, arealike undiatinguebed; the same wave rolls over all?tho same re? quiem by the minstrels of the ocean is sang to their honor. Over their re? mains the same storm beats and the same son shines, and there, unmarked, the weak and powerful, the plumed and anbonored, will sleep until awak? ened by the same trump. A darkey, while in a fit, fell into the river at Savannah, last Monday, and was drowned. Homicide.?Tbe Anderson Intelli? gencer furnishes tbe following particu? lars of tbe reoont bomioide in that County: On Saturday last, between the hoars of 0 and 10 o'clock in the morning, a wbiBkey wagon, drivon by two men, was going along the road near tbe resi? dence of Mr. Jack Shaw, about two miles to tho right of Craytonville, whou it was challenged at some dis? tance by two revenue olflcers, who were riding behiod the wugou. Tbe men in the wagon did not hear the ohaiien^e at first, but when they did hear it they immediately baited ut the. foot of tho lane leading to Mr. Shaw's house. Several persons came out and wer? standing near the wugou wbeu tbi- revenue officers rodo up uutl de mauded them to surrender, whiub ibuy immediately did, giving up tbeir anus at tho same time. John Divis, the ownei ut tu? wagon uud whiskey, got oat und stood up iu tbe fence ooruer to await further orders, wbeu A. Mat tbewson, one of the ofllcers, ooui menoed cursing him, saying, "You have escaped me once, but, damn you, you won't do it this time," and with, that he drew a pistol und tired at Davis, who stooped, lettiog tbe ball pass over his head. Davis then run to save bis life, but was pursued by IUat tbewson, who kept firing all tbe time. Matthewaon soon returned from the pnrsnit, and said to the by-standera, "I have bit tbe damned rascal." Ho then pat his assistant into the wagon with Davis' hired man, uud together they drove towards Bel ton. Davis, after ha was shot, ran into a field n.-ar by, where one Saylors was ploughing, and upon being halted by SuylorH, kept on a short distance, aud theu full. Saylors wont np to him and uBked what was the matter, when he replied, "Get me some water, and I will tell you." He then weut and procured the water and oamo back, ouly to find that Davis had expired. Davis was theu carried up to Shaw't bouse, whore au inquest was held over the body iu the evening, Trial Justioe Wright acting Coroner, aud Dr. Hudgens examining surgeon. Tho verdict of tbe jury was willful murder. Upon examination of the wound, it was ascertained that the bull entered in tbe buck, under the right shoulder-blade, uud passed through the body, protruding just above the heart. Matthewaon, upon arriving ut But? ton, spoke exulttDgly of what he had done, and told Mr. McGee if any? thing happened to Davis to telegraph him at Greenville. He then lelt for thut place. Soon afterwards, Mr. MuGee heard of Duvi.i' death, but would not telegruph, as Mattne-wsou would probably try to esoape. Later in tho day, a telegram was sent from Beltou to ono Tabor, in Graeuville, a friend of the mardered man, tolling him of the occurrence and to at unce aot iu tbo matter. Matthewaon was soon after arrested aud lodged in Greenville jail, where ha still remains. The citizens of Belton vory kindly and humanely sent after the body of Davis and had it coffined and properly at? tended to until suoh time as his friends could come after it. His frionds went np to Belton on Monday evening last and convoyed the body to Greenville, where it was interred on Tuesday. This is homicide of the worst kind killing a humau being iu cold blood; and wbeu tbe trial takes place, we hope tbat an example will be set io this case for other* to go by. A despatch from Newberry informs ns that Muttbewson was brought to thut town, uuder a writ of habeas cor? pus, and will go before Judge Moses to-day, and, if not admitted to bail, will be turned over to the Sheriff of Anderson. ?-??-? Tue Fokmation op Tax Unions THnOUOHOUT the City.? Mootiugsof tax-payers were held last night iu the several wards for tbe purpose of form? ing Tax Unions. The proceedings were harmonious, and iu all tho wards, excepting Ward 5, an organization was promptly effected. It now re maius for tbe tax-payers to come into tbe Unions. All tax-payers who desire "the reduction of taxation aud the honest appropriation and expenditure of tbe public funds," aro eligible to membership. Applications mnst be addressed to tbo Exeoutiva Committee of tbe Unions. There is no reason why the membership of the Tax Unions should not be trenled aod quadrupled at their next meetings. {Charleston News ami Courier.

A Nation An Cektificate.?Among the medioinal successes of modem times. HoBtettei's Stomach Bi'.ters has been one of tho most remarkable. Its popularity is uopreccduuted, but can not be called uatouiohing, inasmuch as no man of common sense is astonished that the moat effective and wholesome tonio und ulterutive science hus ever brought to the rescue of the Hick or offered >in a safeguard against disease should On it! nil but uuiver-tu use. If HVcr u proprietary medicine received it epuutuueuus national certificate, Hos tetter s Bitters is that medicine. Medi? cal men approve und prescribe it. Wherever it bus fair pluy, it takes the place of the udulters-tcd stimulants which have so long disgraced the dis? pensary aud tbo hospital, and promi? nent members of every profession and culling have testified, in the most emphatic languuge, to its curative und protective properties. During u triumphant career of nearly a quarter of a century, hundreds of nostrums have been started iu opposi? tion to the great tonic, with the hope of attractinga portion of tho patronage bestowed upon It. Not ouo of these preparations has had any permanent success. Many have goue to the limbo of things despised; others are tottering to their fall. Neither ?ery astringents nor soul-scouring mixtures have been uocspted by a wide-uwnke public an au equivalent for tho gvui.it vegetable restorative; and a. long us Hosteller's Hitters prevent und euro dy.-prpsia, bi!ionsue*s, nervous di-euses, ooustipa tiou, fovi-r and Ague, i tieiimui isuu aud geuerul debility, and these empirical preparations do not, the tried specific will bo in I be aaceuuVut.

July 12f*[l Schenck's Sea Weei> Tonic ?In the atmosphere e-xperiouced here during tho summer months, the lethargy pro? duced by the bent takes awuy ttie de? sire for wholesome food, uud frequent perspirations reduce bodily energy, particularly those suffering from the effects of debilitating discuses. Iu order to keep u natural healthful ac? tivity of the system, we must resort to artificial uiohuh. For this purpose, Sohunck'd Seu Weed Tonic is very Effectual. A few dos.-s will create au appetite aud give, fresh vigor to the enervated 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 Tonic, iu its nature, is totally different from such drugs. It contains no corrosivo mine rals or acids?in fact, it assists the re? gular operations of nature, and sup? plies her deficiencies. The Tonic, in its nature, so much resembles the gas? tric juice, that it is utmost identical with that fluid. The gastric juice is the natural solvent which, in a healthy condition of the body, causes the food to be digected; 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 tbe ga-.tnc juice wheu tbo latter is deficient, ?chenck's Sea Weed Tonic is sold by all druggists. July U Wo We Pcniiisn to the Would?The remarkable medicinal properties of the "Q/ieeu's Delight." No medicine is so well known uud recognized among eminent physicians ns a valuable thera? peutic agent as the Queen's Delight. Some doctors think it ranks next to calomel in its alterative powers. A learned doctor thus speuks of it: ' Queen's Delight" seems to exert u power upon every cell und molecule of the bmly, and modifies their fuuc 'ion aud coudition. It reaches both the fluids und solids, and impresses upon thorn a curative iuilueuco uue qualed by any other medicine. In chronic diseases of tho throat, there is no ageut compared with it in value. It relieves the cough, obviates the night sweats, improves tho appetite, aud often induces a return to health under the most unfavorable circumstances. In consumption und bronchial dis? eases, the use of ??Qnceu's Delight" hus been marked with signal advan? tage. Queen's Delight manifests a de? cided impression on the mucous mom brauos, changing their condition by its alterative powere. Rheumatism, both acute and chronic, obey promptly the searching powers of this medicine; aching limbs und back cease to tor? ment, comfort aud health is restored. In diseases of tho liver, spleen, bladder und skin, the Queen's Delight may bo used with great benefit. For tbe cure of any of the many diseases incident to the summer season, it can? not be excelled, and wu would recom? mend every family to huvd a bottle of it iu the house at all times, in case of sudden sickness. It is no whiskey or vinegar preparation, but a pleasant al? terative tonic, which has cured thou? sands nnd kept tens of thousands in good health. For dyspepsia aud weak stomach, tho liver and kiduoys, coughs and sore throat, tho lungs and spitting of blood, loss of appotito, sick head? ache, diurrhaii aud dysentery, fever and ague, bilious fover, cholera morbus and cramps, palpitation of tho heart, broken-down nervous system, neural? gia nnd rheumatism, purifying the blood, inflamed und uoro eyes, when caused by the impure state of tho blood.
