COLUMBIA, S. C. Friday Morning, July 24,1874. ' A Iitfcleai Document. ' The Republican State Exeoutive Committee have pnt forth a lame ad? dress to the people, the most meritori oub part of which is the faint and reluctant admiBBion that the party ? pledges have not been redeemed, and that corruption and extravagance call 'for reform and purification. The blows which they deal to this reckless? ness and ruin are not of the sledge? hammer order?are not such as men would deliver who deeply felt or meant to exterminate the evils whioh they describe. How soft is the impeach? ment in the following carefully-picked, abundantly-hedged and fully-guarded - expressions: "That the pledges given to the peo plo in our party platform of 1872 have not been fully redeemed; and that, in many instances, sound poliey hun been discarded and reokleaa oxtravaganoe .manifested, wo eaunot deny. What ... causes have led to our present oondi . tion may not be heroin disoussed. It ? is sufficient that we should all reoog -. aisc the fact that our Government wAeeds reform?thorough reform and purification. The attention of the country has been oalled to South Caro? lina; the American people demand that mal-administration shall cease and ? good government be at once inaugu? rated; tbo National Republican party .admonishes us to at ouoo retrace our steps and vindicate by our notion the integrity of Republicanism; while the ? National Government insists that cou ... trition for past errors cannot be con si rinrn<i; nnless accompanied by the i seleotion of public officers whose cha? racters-will be a guarantee of elevated and enlightened statesmanship in the ioture." The remedy pointed out to euro these evils is, of course, reform. This -reform - must consist mainly in the ohoico of better men in responsible po Hitiouu. The duty of inaugurating and carrying it through is placo? upon tho shoulders of the black aud colored -people. They are charged with the guilt of producing the present condi? tion of affairs in the Statu. Upon . -them are devolved, therefore, the duty and responsibility of redeeming the State from disgrace. That duty rests "peculiarly" upon them. Alas for reform! Alas for joBtioel Has it come to this, that the poor viotims who havo been bought and sold as they ? no vor were in the days of slavery, who were the mere tools of more ounning and unscrupulous men in crucifying the honor and burying the credit of the State, in riding rough-shod over the liberties, rights and property of the people?must they now be told, by some of those who led them astray, that they are the guilty rascals who most hasten to Bhrive thomselves and purge and live cleanly? This is the monkey scolding the oat whose paws be has made a oonvenieuoe in drawing the ohestnuts from the fire, for his own sweet tooth to oraok, charging ? .upon him the guilt of the act, and re? quiring bim to do so no more forever. Passing by this injustice, we see upon what a slender thread reform is made -to hang. The colored people who . have been put through the tactics of - corruption, whose habits, views and hopes have all been formed aooording to this model, are now suddenly to un? dergo conversion, and by their own nnaided, unsupported moral strength, -to enter upon the new, untried Hue of politioal purity. Truly they might say the punishment is more than they can bear, the duty too high and diffi? cult for them to diaohurgo. Here is the indictment whioh the Executive Committee have drawn against the colored people?here is the unreason? able and impossible programme which they pnt before them: "The Executive Committoo would make no raoo distinctions, but it can? not longer be denied, and it would be orimical longer to withhold the facts, that the present condition of affairs in our State is made chargeable to the colored race, who represent not only the great bulk of * Republicans here, but who constitute the majority of its citizens. The doty and responsibility of redeeming the State from obloquy and disgrace, of restoring the public confidence, of building up her oredit and of saving her from uttor und oom ploto annihilation, rest peculiarly upon the shoulders of tbat raoo. This duty they cannot evade?this responsibility they cannot escape." To add the finishing touoh to their vapid nddreaa, tho committee quote from that still-born doooment recently pnt forth by the Union Republican Congressional Committee, a passage in whioh is inoladed the statement that "the fourteenth amendment to the Constitution is not yet enforced by appropriate legislation." They are careful, aa was the Congressional Com? mittee, not to divulge the fact that as many as thirty or forty members of tho House of Representatives dodged the vote on this question of oivil rights. They were afraid to vote for it and go before the country. They feared the President's veto. That being the state of the oase, how can the colored Radi? cals of South Carolina influence tho question? Tho matter is only brought bofore them for reasons of?buncombe. . < ?? How About tiie BontltT In his address at Jonkiosville, ex Governor Scott gives a rather vagoo account of how it wua that tho now State Government, which waB inau? gurated in 1868, under himself us Governor, was first induced to taste the sweets of Stuto bonds. Ho says that it was the only prudent method of obtaining funds necessary to meet cur? rent exponsos. It may have looked so to the men then pot at tho helm of affairs, but the reBult has proved it a most disastrous method. The Legis? lature began by authorizing loans to the amount of $2,500,000. So muoh was authorized, but a much larger amonnt was raised under the Aots which authorized the two and a half millions. The ex-Governor doeB not say how muoh, nor how it came about, although he accounts for other moseys raised by Aots of the Legislature?for the Laud Commission and for the re? demption of old past due bonds. Rut wo should havo boon bettor pleased with his expose, if it had explained how the well-known excess over two and a half millions was rained and traced its history more fully. If this was done by Kimpton, who gave him authority beyond that granted by the Legislature to do it? The ex-Governor, the ex Attorney-General and the ex State Treasurer constituted the Financial Roord at that date and aro responsible for whatever was done. Ex-Governor Scott says that "money oould be raised only by authority of the Legislature." Was the hypothecation of the bonds alluded to done in conformity with the authority of the Legislature? We lind no difficulty in accepting tho ex Go? vernor's statements about the extrava ganoe, recklessness and greed of the seoond Legislature. Wo believe everything he says about them, and we have no doubt that many mon? strosities were attempted and some consummated under tho specious guise and name of reform. His efforts to hold them in check were well meant, though often fruitless. All that is true, and we do the ex-Governor the justice to believe that he sought, how? ever vainly, to keep under control the demon which he and others had exor? cised. For this, more than anything else, the attempt was made to impeach him. Rut the bond question lies bo hind that, and the ex-Governor and three other men aro thoroughly posted ! on it. Ho denies his responsibility for the frauds of the Land Commission, [by whioh 8340,000 was used to pay for lands purchased in excess of the money realized on bonds issued for that pur? pose. The purchases, he says, were mado "without my (hi.-) knowledge or consent," although he was a member of tho Advisory Roard. This is of it? self au interesting fact, which throws upon his asuooiates the necessity of explanation. Let the ex-Governor be equally candid and more full in ex? plaining the wholo bond business. It is a matter in whioh interest is daily reviving. It is little understood. It has been studiously covered up. It must be brought out beforo a great while. It will enter into the canvass for Governor, which is about to bo in? augurated. The conversion bonds will soon show their hoads again. It is a good opportunity now to put the ball of tho bond question in motion. Ex Govornor Scott, having already com? municated with the public upon other topics of public interest aud but slightly touohed upon this, would only satisfy a reasonable cariosity and n justifiable intorest, by an explicit, full and detailed exposition of how tho bonded debt, inoluding tho conversion bonds, oame to bo contracted, what irregularities or illegalities attended it, and who are mainly responsible for any wrong in connection with it. Our columns aro open to him for this pur? pose, and we pause for a roply. The South Carolina Nboro Roy Dismissed from West Point. ?A cor? respondent of the Rrooklyn Argus writes from West Point: The dismissal of the coiorod cadet Smith is creating some talk. This young man has been perseouted from the time he entered the academy; he has been dropped a class; and last week hla papers of dismissal were re oeived from Washington. Altogether, he has had a hard road to travel while at West Point. Though ho has writ? ten letters to bis friends, and is quite saogoiuo about returning, and finally graduating, tho professors and oadets say there is not the slightest chance Said a professor to a friend, the other day: "It will be a longtime before any one belonging to the oolorcd raco can graduate at West Point." More Territory.?Newts cum es from California that the Mexican Govern? ment haB proposed to sell to the United States all the territory "lying North of a line of latitude drawn direotly from the month of the Bio Grande and stretching thenoo to the Paoifio Ocean."

The White League.?The true peo? ple of LiouiHiana, having tried every means within their power to couoiliute the negro and colored elements, are now banding together in a White League.

English Civilization.?A recent de? bate in the English Parliament de? velops tho fact that on July tho -1th, the amusement-loving people of a town named Uanley were entertained by a combat between a dwarf and a bull? dog.

Butchery.?Two negro bntehers, Frank Warner and Sam Smith, fought with cleavers and butcher knives in their shop in Chelsea, Tenn., on tho 20th, inflioting mortal wounds on each other.

Struck by Lightning.?On last Fri? day evening, Miss Ida McNeil, a young lady of eighteen, living with tho family of Mr. Edward Smith, near Gapway Church, while at the well drawing wa? ter, was struck by lightning, and in? stantly killed.

Tho Mobile Register says that tho reason emigrants to Alabama buy laud in North Alabama in preference to the middlo Counties of tho Sta'o, notwith? standing their cheapness, is becnuso "North Alalmma is whito and Middle Alabama is black." Such is nature. Several colored robbers cawed at tho rosideneu of Mr. Jesse Koy, in Ander? son County, a low nights ago, and while tho proprietor and his son wore held by some of tho ruffians, tho others entered and robbed tho house of money and other valuables. During a recent storm in Greenville, a gontleman drove his vehicle under a tree and went into a building; ho had scarcely got in, when a flash of light? ning killed one of the animals.

Nervous Diseases.?The nervons system exercises a powerful influence over the digestion, secretion, nutri? tion, absorption and tbe circulation of the blood, and its purpose Beems to be to bind together the machinery of the body and to combine and harmonize the action of its several parts. Diseases of the nerves are more uumerous and afflictive now than at any former pe? riod?a result dne to the luxurious habits of the age and to the excite? ment which tbe struggle for wealth j and position kindles and inflames. I Almost every individual one meets in society, of either sex, is troubled with some nervons affection or other. Among the various medicinal agents recommended by tbe profession or recognized by the general publio as nervines, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters occupies the foremost place. Physi? cians of eminence ooncede to it very extraordinary touio properties, and its popularity as an invigorant with all classes of the community is indicated by a demand for tbe article which has distanced competition and is still con tinnally increasing. Men of business, politicians, authors, lawyers, invent? ors, speculators?in short, all who are engaged in exciting pursuits?will find this healthful alterative and restora? tive tbe most restful cordial for the brain and the over-tasked nervous sys? tem that the combined resources of botany and chemistry have yet given to the world. It is agreeable to the taste, promotes digestion, regulates the liver and the bowels, depurates the blood, and is the most helpful elixir in cases of severe mental despondency that ever cheered the depressed spirits of man or woman. J19J3?l Schenck's Sea Weed Tokio.?In the utmosphere experienced here during the summer months, the lethargy pro? duced by tbe heat takes away the de? sire for wholesome food, and frequent perspirations reduce bodily energy, particularly those Buffering from the effects of debilitating diseases. In order to keep a natural healthful ac? tivity of tho system, wo must resort to artificial means. For this purpose, Schenck's Sea Weed Touio is very effectual. A few doses will create an appetite and give fresh vigor to the enervated body. For dyspepsia, it is invaluable. Muny eminent physicians huve doubted whether dyspepsia can be permanently cured by the drugs which arc generally employed for that purpose. The Sea Weed Tonic, in its nature, is totally different from snob drugs. It contains no oorrosive mine? rals or acids?in faot, it assists the re? gular operations of nature, and sup? plies her deficiencies. Tho Tonic, in its nature, so much resembles tho gas? tric juice, that it ia almost identical with that fluid. Tho gastric joioe is the natural solvent which, in a healthy condition of the body, cansea the food to be digested; and when this juice is not excreted in sufficient quan? tities, indigestion, with all its distress? ing symptoms, follows. Tho Sea Weed Touio performs tho duty of the gastric juice whon the latter is deficient. Schenck's Sea Weed Tonio is sold by all druggists.
