COLUMBIANS. C. Wednesday Morning, 20. 1874 Abuse Inftccd! In a political harangue delivered by Jndgo Oooke, ;in Greenville, a few days ago, be complained of tbe "abase," as he termed it, which waB heaped upon the Radical party of South Carolina by the opposition. We have seen the same sort of complaint on several occasions. In the Union Herald, of yesterday, it is stated that the opposition "indulge in a reckless? ness of denunciation which has be? come morbid and insatiable." We beg so remind these parties, first, that no ?base, eo-oalled, no denunciations by the Conservative press or speakers, can ever hope to do justice- to the oc? casion; secondly, that the exposures, censures, denunciations and contempt poured 1 upon the South Carolina branch of the Badioal party by tthe great Republican journals of the North, constitute a fearful indictment against it, soon as can heyer be equaled by I the Conservatives of the State. Ex? tracts from the New York Iribune, Times, Herald,- Sun and Harpers' Weekly, not to speak of Republican presses in other cities, North, East and North-west,, might be made, which, if placed in proper array, would almost snake one's blood ran cold. And here is the deliberate opinion of Hon. Jus. S. Pike, an original Abolitionist aod a Radical of Radicals, who carefully ob? served thiugs for himself, before he pat pea * to paper. "The rule of South Carolina," ho saya, "should not be dignified with the name of go? vernment. It is the installation of a huge system of brigandage. The jmen who have had it in oontrol, and who now have it in oontrol, am the picked villains of the community. They are the highwaymen of the State. They are professional legislative rob? bers. They are men who have studied And praotioed tbe art of legalized theft. They are in no.sense different from or better than tho men who fill the pri? sons and penitentiaries of the world." What do you think of that, Judge Oooke? Can yon find anything stronger in the English language, or in any language? Will yon find it in Burke's impeachment of Hastings, or in Cicero's concentrated soorn poured out on Verres? We recommend you to boy and keep, as a vade mecum and text book, "The Prostrate State." Bead, study and inwardly digest this passage on the 112th page: "The only drawback to the country, the only hin deraooe to an immediate accession of population from the best agricultural classed abroad, is thh sooandrel go? vernment, which has so long rioted, and is yet rioting, in its robbories. ' There seems to be no way of even checking their intolerable practices hut to flash the flambeaux of an out? side execration in their faces. They defy the indignation of the people they have ruined, bat they are not proof against the indignation of the country at large. It becomes e publio doty 'To lash the rascals naked through the land,1 And aid this prostrate State to recover possession of itself, retrieve its stand? ing before the world, and drag to con ? dign punishment the oulprits who have so long rioted in its.apoila, and who so persistently prey upon its re? mains." * - If Mr. Pike is not good authority, there is no good authority. He came to look upon, perhaps to admire, the state of society and government which he had aided in establishing here. As * an honest man, as an intelligent citi? zen, he was shocked, and turned away with irrepressible loathing, nud seut out to the American publio und the civilized world his indignant protest against its continuance. It Is possiblo' that a statement here and there iu his book moy not be literally correct, but none has over bocn pointed out. In his interview with tho correspoudont of the Louisville. Courier-Journal, Mr. Chamberlain said that Piko made a great many misrepresentations, but ho did noL desiguato them, aud h ? did not impugn tbe general accuracy of the statements and spirit of the work. On the oontrary, he admitted them, in saying that "when a people get to stealing, it is natural to exaggerate their crimes. . They have stolen a great deal, and it may be, after all, more than tltey are accused of, instead of less." In another place, he used similar lan? guage: "Whilst there are exaggera? tions in some particulars, hundreds of thefts whioh have taken plaoo have never been mentioned by tbo newspa? pers. I reokon they about average the truth." And it is not irre? levant to say that the Daily Union Herald has itself in former days been scathing in its denunciations of its misbegotten government and party. What has happened, that it moBt not be spoken of any more es it deserves, and as all these Republicans and Radi? cals have spoken' of it? Nothing, except that the elections are approach ing, the time for the distribution of office and power is at baud, and its smirched face must be whitewashed for the holiday occasion. Now, interested parties would allay the storm that has been raised, and woold continue over a brave and honorable people the con? trol, without modification or ohange, (exoept, perhaps, in. some particulars of personnel,) of the miscreants who have gathered here, under the protect ing folds of the national nag. to oppress and insult them. But the faroe is nearly played out. The Amerioan people reoognize in its government the blunder, which was worse than a crime, of euoh a policy here as placed intelligence, property, onltare and honor at tho meroy of. adventurers, native and foreign, who misused the accident of numbers and the powers of darkness to drive them into exile, and to ereot over the State, and in their stead, the rule of besotted ignorance, Satanic hate, wolf-like rapacity and devilish cunning. They will not by force com? pel us to endure this bastard govern? ment any longer. And we should like to know what else will? i* t|? ? Distinction on Account of Color. Oar Radical neighbor, in its issue of last Sunday, gives brief aooonnt of meetings at the Camp Ground pre? cinct and at Arthur's. Each meeting endorsed colored candidates for the Senate and House of Representatives. We are surprised that our neighbor does not relish this. "It is almost time," it says ia one place, "for one white man to be among the eleot to the Legislature;" and in another, the refrain ie, "it is time to have at least one white man in the Legislature from this County. Now we don't like this way of going back on oar black friends. Are they not blaok, and is not that a peculiar privilege, and a badge of distinction? What can a white man do that a blaok one cannot equal, or at least imitate? And if the (Radioal) whites can lay claim to one white member, they might be embold? ened to strike for two or three, and perhaps the whole delegation, and then there would be a terrible smashing of teeth. It won't do?this distinction on aooouut of race, color or previous oondition. Colored people, your liber? ties are in danger! Remember that power is always stealing from the many to the few. "Strike for your aHars and your fireal Strike for the greon graves of your sirest" And go to tho polls at day-break, aod vote early, often and late, and exclu? sively for the winning color. Don't lei dat white man fool you. <-??-? Gehrv..i andehisq ?The Anderson Intelligencer thinks that the recent arrangement of the Third Congres? sional District, by which Richland County is put with Newberry, Abbe? ville, Lturens, Anderson, Fiokens and Ooonee, when it does not join either of these Counties, is illegal and unte? nable The present arrangement was made for political ends, for the voting population of this Congressional Dis? criot, as it now stands, gives the colored people a majority of 1,500, which, if Riohland is exoludod, will g.vo a ma? jority to the white?. Hence, the Intel? ligencer oonclndes that if the remaining OountioB oonld eleot a candidate, it is probable that Congress would sustain the election, ou tho grounds that Riohland is not contiguous to any part of the District, and oalls on tho Con? servative voters to put forward their ablest man when tho time comes. A Russian Dinneh Sett.?Tho Rus? sians uro evidently in advance of us in respeot to dining-tables, in one of the palaces of the Emperor is a circu? lar dining-tablo placed on a weighted platform. At the touch of a signal, down goos tho table through tho iloc, and a now table, loaded with fresh dishes and supplies, rises in its place. Bat this is not all. Each plate stands ou a woightod disc, tho table cloth boing cut with circulur openings, ono for each plato. If n guest desires a ohange of plato, he touches a signal nt his eido, when his plato disappears nud another rises. These mechanical din ing-tables rendor the prcsouco of ser? vants qaite superfluous. A New York letter says: "Tho oldest real estate dealers here assort that this is tho dullest eoaeon in that lino of business that they hotvo experienced in thirty years. Frioes of all descrip? tions of real property have been gra? dually declining sinoo the panio, yot to-day it is next to impossible to sell any oonsidorablo parcels, unless at a saorifioe. In Brooklyn, there have been not a few forced sales within the past few days, but tho prices realized were bo disooaraging that it was deemed best not to givo them pul? lioity. Jersey (near by) property and Westohester lots, in fact, are about tho only property for which there is uny market for tho timo boing." Education.?Tue address of Prof. Rivera on education, do': vered at the commencement exercises of Washing? ton College, on the 8th of this month, appears in fall in the Ohestertown Transcript, p lblished at Chestertown, Maryland. We have read it with pleasure, and make an extract in which the prevalent error of there being some royal and short road to learning and to the fall development of the intellectual powers, iB well exposed and rebuked: "Passing by these topics, it is more import mt for uh to consider a oertain erroneous spirit whioh is affecting education in general, and 'our duty with renpeot to it. We shall briefly state in what we oonoeive this error to consist, and how it haB been produced. So rapid has been the advancement of tjuiouao and the consequent improve? ments in art, sinoe tbe beginning of this centary, that it iB not strange that efforts have been made to accomplish in teaching, in a few months, results whioh our anoestors employed several years to accomplish. So far as relates simply to imparting knowledge, it is manifest that great improvements have been introduced. The simplification of soienoe, tbe contrivances for pre? senting to tbe learner objectively a great deal that is necessary for the comprehension of the facts in astrono? my, chemistry, geography, mensura? tion and the various branohes of na? tural? history and mechanical philoso? phy?these afford a wonderful facility for the acquisition of knowledge; but the mental powers remain as in former times. They are no more perfect, or aotive, or efficient than tbey were in Socrates or Aristotle, in Newton or Locke. Nor can we devise any short method of strengthening the memory, expanding the imagination or giving aouteness to the judgment. If we could, there would be no fouls loft. We have no Hubtle contrivance for probing and transforming natural de ?oiences of intellect. It is hero that we have no uddaatage ground more than onr forefathers had. All methods of instruction which promise to achieve such results, or even to invigorate the intellectual powers by any remarkable short prooeBS, are but impudent pre I tense and charlatanism. We cannot I obviate tbe necessity for patient toil? for persevering industry. Instruction is one thing, and relates to importing knowledge, and may be very rapid where the memory of the learner is more than ordinarily retentive. But education is quite another thing, and relates to mental discipline, to the evoking, improving and strengthening of the mental powers; and this cannot be accomplished in a short time." Bayard Taylor, in writing from Egypt, gives some facts concerning the late discoveries and translations of hieroglyphic characters in that conn try. While, a few years ago, only about 700 of theso characters were known, and when the deciphering was most difficult and uncertain, now more than 4,500 are intelligible to tho scho? lars of Germany and France. Mo riette, one of the most sucoessf ul scho? lars in this branch of linguistics), haB been able to translate many of these Egyptian inscriptions, and from them much valuable information is derived concerning the religions beliefs and civilization of the ancient inhabitants of the valley of the Nile. In place of a gross and grotesque mythology, we now have the evidence of a symmetri? cal religioas system, based on the pro? found knowledge of the forces of na? ture. Tbe form of these inscriptions is evidently poetical, the main idea being a belief in the immortality of tbe soul and its future reward and pu? nishment. Mr. Taylor even goos so far as to say that he believes that tho Hebrew literature drew its style and oharaoter from tbe Egyptian, as the Latin does from tbe Greek. An an? cient inscription on the temple of Soss reads: "I am who is, has been and ever shall bo," which sounds Hebrais? tic enough. On tho tomb are fonud often repeated these words, answering to a daily proyor: "Through my love have I drawn near to God. 1 have given bread to him who was hungry, water to him who was athiret, gar? ments to him who was nuked and a place of shelter to tho abandoned." Most of tho inscriptions are of historic import, dramatic and poetic in charac? ter, whilo prosaic in form. The groat majority of tho latter furnish strong corroborative evidence of what is al? ready known iu Egyptian history. [ Haiti more American. . ? - ? ~ - A correspondent of tho New York Shu, speaking of the St. John's River in Florida, says thai the actual source of this mysterious aud beautiful stream has never been discovered. Its cur? rent iH sluggish, and its waters are as yollow as liquorico juice. Living islands of vegetable mutter iloat upon its bosom, driven hither and thither by every change of the wind, and aores of drifting froth danco upon its broad surface. The river i3 a chain of lovely lakes, intorwoven in a net-work of wonderful marshes nml lagoons. It is said to be tho only river in tho United States that rises in tho South and runs due North. Its channel is more tortuous than that of the Missis? sippi. Its lakes and swamps are tho homes of birds of royal plumage, and immense alligators, snakes and turtles sun themselves upon its reedy banks. What's in a name? Wo observe in a Philadelphia noweparer a call for a meeting of "Paradise Lodgo of Jour? neymen Tailors." Considering that there wore no tailors in Paradise, and that no tailors wcro needed until after Paradiso Lost, it seems to us that the Philadelphia stitchers might have hit upon a moro appropriate name. A petition having 18,000 Signatar68 of women has lately been presented to the English Premier, asking the right of suffrage. Among theBe signatures, Btrange to say, are some of the most noted ladies of the literary and social world; snoh as Florence Nightingale, Miss Franoes Power Cobbe, the late Yisoounte88 Amberly, Harriet Marti neau, Miss Anna Swanswiok, Lady Goro Langton and Miss Thackeray, eldest daughter of the well known novelist. Balloon Back ?An immense crowd witnessed the Btart of the balloon raoo in San Francisco, on the 27th, between the balloon International, managed by Prof. Martin, aud the Empyrean, by Prof. Birsley. The balloon reaohing the farthest point to be the winner. Thu Empyrean took a Northerly di? rection, while the Iuternatioual sailed direct E;tst. Tho plan of minority representation known as oamnlative voting, seems to steadily grow in publio favor. It is now incorporated into the organic law of Illinois and Pennsylvania. The new Constitution of Ohio, yet to be voted on, contains it, and the Constitutional CommitBion of Connecticut has recom? mended it to the Legislature of that Stale fo- adoption. It is rumored that the fond which has existed for so long a time between the Bowen and Maokey factions of the Bepublioan party has been amicably airanged. Mackey, it is said, is to run for Congressman and is to be support? ed by BowoniteB, who, in tarn, are to be aided by the Mackeyitesin the fight for the State spoils. Taero is a strong disposition on the part of the leading New York papers to say all they can in favor of Mr. Beeoh er. One of them predicted that his de? fence of Mrs. Tilton "would be re? ceived with unalloyed delight." The faot that it might be a series of false? hoods did uot seem to enter the edi? torial head. Since the recent action of the Now York Legislature in awarding the p-rize for the best iuventiou of a steam canal boat, steam is rapidly superseding tbo horse as a motor upon the Erie Caual. One transportation company alone has fonr of the new boats running and four under way. The Albany Argus presents the re? cord of tho descendants of Benedict Arnold, who married iu Philadelphia. Contrary to the popular impression, Arnold was well paid for his treason, nod his children and children's chil? dren have ever since stocked the Bri? tish army aud church. The despatches announce the arrest of a wealthy contractor in Hoboken for bigamy. If tins is intended as a side? show to tbo big circus in Brooklyn, it won't do. A man who merely marries all the women who will take him is no longer an object of interest. The wife and family of a suicide, named Wm. Buddeman, of New York city, refused to receive his remains, or have anything to do with them. Henry Grero, of tho same city, took his life with a pistol, on the night of the 21th. Moltke arrived iu his plain clothes at a hotel whore he was not known, and they put him on the third floor. Frau tie efforts were made to repair the fanlt when the truth bcoame known, but the old fellow held his position.

A regular habit of body is indis? pensable to health; yet few disorders are more common than costiveness. By this term is implied a sluggish con? dition of the bowels, which causes them to retain their contents longer than is consistant with health, and renders the aot of evacuation difficult and painful. Headache, dizziness, feverishness, a sense of fullness in the head, loss of memory, incapacity for continuous mental effort, and a gene? ral feeling of oppression iu the abdo? minal region, are among the accom? paniments of this complaint. The spe? cific for it is Hostetter's Stomach Bit? ters. This famons stomachio and al? terative aots beneficially upon the three principal organs conneoted with the processes of digestion, seoretion and excretion, viz: The stomach, the liver and the intestines. Torpidity of the liver is, in most cases, the immediate cause of constipation. Bile is mode? rately aperient, and if its regular dis? charge into the upper bowels be in? terrupted, obstructions accumulate and harden in the intestinal canal, and purgation becomes necessary. Tho Bitters, being anti-bilious as well as a tonio aud laxative, soon restore the dereliot liver to a natural condition, as well as relieve and tone the bowels. The result is the permanent establish? ment of a regular habit of body. No disorder of the etomaoh or its depend* eooies, no affection of the nervous system, no ailment involving physical weakness aud mental despondency, can resist the renovating, regulating, purifying operation of this famous al? terative. J26f3^l Schenck's Sea Weed Tonio.?In the atmosphere experienced here during the summer months, the lethargy pro? duced by the heat takes away the de? sire for wholesome, food, and frequent perspirations reduce bodily energy, particularly those ?uff. ring from the effects of debilitating diseases. Iu order to keep a natural healthful at tivity of tho system, we must resort to artificial means. For this purpose, Schenck's Sea Weed Tonio is veiy effectual. A few doses will create an appetite and give fresh vigor to the enervuted body. For dyspepsia, it : a invaluable. Many eminent physicians have doubted whether dyspeps'a er t bo permanently cured by tho drugs which arc gouerally employed for that purpose. Tho Sea Weed Tonic, in its nature, in totally different from such drugs.
