COLUMBIA, S. C. Saturday Morning, August 1,1874. Hints of tbo New York Times that are ? tlnsinuendocs." Our readers will remember the ?tuli? ning cffoot produced iu Badioal circles by the lotters of the New York Times correspondent, written from this State b month or so past, in denunciation of the corruption of its government. They were of the highly-seasoned and sensational order, and oaosed some ?addon conversions to the new doc? trine of reform amongst the oorrnp tioniBts. It booame neoessary to make tome formal recognition of the deplo? rable condition of affairs. Mr. D. H. Cbamberlain, as a prospective candi? date lor the purple, was duly inter? viewed, and gave forth the sound, which, like that of the tuning-fork in country churches, served &b the key? note to the ooming doleful musio. Mr. Chamberlain is entrenched in reserve and secretiveness. All through his his? tory, sb it has been enacted before us in this State, he has moved with ex? treme oaution, leaving in the office of Attorney-General, in his position uh member of the Advisory Board of the Land Commission, of the Fiuanoial Board and of the Sinking Fund, as little trace as possible. To-day, tbe operations of hypothecating our bonds in New York, the issue of the conver? sion bonds, the way they wore reaom aieoded and put upon the market and all the oomplicuted financial jobs of Simpton, are profound mysteries to oar people. There arc few men, however, who know all about these operations, by which ten or fifteen millions were added to the State debt, and a considerable number of persons made rieb, and amongst them is Cham? berlain. ' But the more he knows, the Tess-he 3oya. In oouversation with tbe Times correspondent, he went as far? and it was very far for him to go?as to admit the advisableness of reform, for "tho purpose of achieving political ancsees." Following this dim light, and echoing thia puny voice, tho State Badioal Committee have put forth their address to the same effect. And now comes the New York Times again to look upon the work of its hands. It finds it to be tolerably jo?h3. It has words of oommendation for Mr. Congressman Elliott aud the committee, as the head of the party, for tbe "soond advioe" they gave in echoing tbe Times. That advice to tbe Badioal party of the State is, that they most "retrace their steps,"-upon peril of being exaoinded from tbe "party at large." Those who are more espe? cially expected to thus turn about sud? denly are the blaok people, and for saying this, too, Elliott is patted on tbe baok by tbe Times. The 'limes affects to base its hopes of revolution? izing tbe oolored population npon tbe reforming spirit and purpose of El? liott. Elliott is to do tbe business. Be re to boss tbe job of turning out tbe bad fellows. He is to transfer the organization from the hands of rascals to the hands of honest men. It says with inimitable humor: "We oannot undertake, at this dis? tance, to point out all the men who bave proved untrustworthy, and who should be 'dismissed the service.' Bat they can be discovered readily enough by those on the ground. Mr. Elliott, doubtless, knows many of tbem. We wish he had felt like naming tbe most conspicuous in his address. He may depend npon it, tbat if be is sincere in his profesoed resolve to rid his State, his party and his race of the ecoua dralewbo have so long disgraced tbem, be will be obliged to talk much more plainly than he talks in the commit? tee's address. He has entered ou a war wbioh oannot be fought with rose water and sugar-plums. Ho will have to strike directly at the thieves in such a way that every oue will recognize tbem." "Mr. Elliott, doubtless, knows many *>f tbem." Certainly ho does. No donbt of tbat. And from him who knows much, you mean that much will be required. Poor Elliott! Crushed with tbo weight of bis own abandoned shield I Exposed ut tbe moment he drops his mask and before he can get Hon again! Slaughtered with empty compliments! Tho man who engi? neered Moses into powor and placed all his satellites in their orbits, who perfectly understands tho salary-grab? bing business and has the Midas touch wbioh tarns everything to gold I He i? now to assail his associates as a ?prosecutor whose hands have been washed and made olean in tho luver of the New York Times. Is he to arraign his fellow oommittee-men? Is he to seize Worthiogton? Must ho lay vio? lent hands on Nash or Bainey? Is he to go for Mr. Chamberlain on that fatal bond business, those Land Com mission '(?Uu?, tue responsibility for which ex-Qovernor Scott, by implica tioii, places upon bis and Niles Q. Paiker's shoulderb? Are bis reform* iug labor* to be extended to bis old crony, F. J. Moses, Jr., in the shapo of. a little bluster, to be taken in a Pickwickian sonne, abont the time of the nomination for Governor? Fiually, he may usk, in despair, of the Times, would it huvo him commit political bariktiri pud run the uword of detec? tion uud exposure right through Iiis own official bowols? Will it be so ungracious as to echo old Humbert's words: "Let deso Oongusmeu'u unload dereselvos fast?" Fancy and Fact. The New York Journal of Commerce is inclined to tuko a kind mid encou? raging view of our affairs. But, un? fortunately, it lacks information, and is somewhat deceived by tho specious and delusive promises of the Radical State Committee: It draws the ideu from their paper that a reform move? ment has set in hero among the freed men, led by Congressman Elliott. "Signs of a split," it says, "in tho nogro ranks have long been visible; and Elliott may ?ud many negroes already prepared to join him and co? operate with tho white tax-payers to reform tho State." One can but smile at the idea and wonder at its origin. It does but justice to the black people, bowover, whan it 6uye, in another place, that the moru intelligent und thoughtful uro ooutScioUH, to some ex? tent, of the dangers into which they have beeu led, and uro "ready to take time by the forelock und aid in throwing oft* what they have im? posed on tho tux-piying whites." But this eeutimont bus uol amounted ns yet to anything practical, and hard? ly justifies the hope of the Journal of Commerce, that South Curoliuiune may by tact and discretion detach a part of this vote from the Radicals, and turu it to account for the benefit of tho State. We are not iu condition, owing especially to tho aid and com? fort, tho countenance and good will extended to the oorruptiouists by the General Government, to develop this feeling among the blacks into force, or give it any useful shape. Liko nil weak people, they udore power, und power, thoy see, is arrayed against the old white race. What the Journal says of the severity of the address of the Radical committee ugainst the ne? groes is too true. They are more sinned against than sinning, and ueod less reform than those who affect to be their leaders and give them hypocriti? cal counsel. The Journal has a clear idea of tho mefilc of the carpet-bug fraternity, although in expressing it it slights their scalawag brothers. "The pernicious example and crafty tactics of these renogado politicians of tho North has had," it says, "a steady cor? rupting influence on the negroes. No matter how far tho negroes partici? pated iu plunder, it was always the carpet baggers who marked out the campaigus and conduoted them. Thenn are tho creatures who are, to our mind, must to be aondemnod for the shock? ing coudiiiou of the South." True, true. Aud they are here yet, organiz? ing for another oampaigu of plunder. Alttclteylnm. Judge Maokey :s speech in Yorkville contained some good advioe to the oolored people, und bringing forcibly to their ?iew the corruptions of their government. "Iu our State Government," ho said, "what do we see? Wo see our debt increased, within the last six years, 816,000,000, inoluding 86,000, 000 of conversion bonds, which were properly repudiated. With this enor? mous increase, are there any benefits to the people? No. Not a mile of railway; no public institutions of be? nefit erectod; no school system. Yes, a school system, it is true; but like tho village clock, only nice to look at, and not in running order, except in the County of York." He counselled thorn to examine their hearts, to eee whothor thoy were fit to be candidates for office. We doubt if that will decrease the number. Every candidate's heart will toll him to go for office, and gob it, if ho can. Judge Maokey didn't say whether ho was for Elliott or Chamberlain, Melton or Maokey for Governor. Ho seems not to favor Moses, although he says the Democrats hope to havo him nominated. Whore he learnt thin he didn't say, bat he runs a tilt against it as a "triok." Cunning fellow, that same Mackey, in kicking up the dust of an imaginary trick to bide a real one. As he is not for Moses, will ho tell tho country whether he is iu favor of the poor remains of tho Bank of tho State assets being sponl to bolster a scheme to revive the repudiated conversion bonds and Blue Ridge Rail? road scrip, und to put out a candidate who represents tho polioy? A D&ngeroUS Proposition. In tbe Union-Herald, o*. yesterday, is n short artiole under this heading, copied from the Sumter Watchman. It nays : "A proposition lias been made to run Onusorvativo candidates, deolare thorn elected, proceed to tuke posses? sion of tho public offices of the State, and uppeul to Graut for support." Who mudo it? When and where and by what authority was it mad ? Wo have uever heard it, except us at? tributed to u Ridicul official, whu is on the war-path. It bus sometimes elso appeared, or something very like it, us a conjecture of tho UnionHerald. But, us no- put forth with tho label of danger, it appotrs meant to reflect upon Conservatives. If ho, it is not just. -? South Carolina.?Mr. Itedfluid, tbe intelligent correspondent of the Cin? cinnati Commercial, writes a letter from Columbia, S. C, under date the 23d July, in which he Bays: Crossing from Georgia into South Carolina at AuguBta, you see tho bane? ful effects of negro rule before you havo penetrated a mile into this wretched State. Disguise it us we may, the faot romaius the same, the curse of South Carolina is the igno rnuoo of a majority of her electors. From this havo all her troubles sprung. A stream cannot riso above its source, and the majority of her voters being us iguoraut of tho princi? ples of our Government uj tho cattle thut feed upon tho hills of Ohio, it naturally followed that the Govern? ment fell among thieves as completely us if nil the offices from top to bottom hud been parceled out utnoug u lot of penitentiary convict*. Tho iiegroe-? of South Caroliua aro totully unfit to ex? ercise the right of suffrage, and to plunge thorn head-long from u condi? tion of abject slavery to the responsi ble positiou of electors was a mishap, u folly and a crime. We seo it uuw plain enough, und wo would huvo seen it before, bad not our eyes been daz? zled by the prospect of getting a huge Republican majority. Wo have the Republican majority; hut ah, the woe, misery, debt, crime, corruption, wick? edness und villain}* that this majority of blank voting machine.-, have ?rought upon poor South Carolina. Tho Legislature is u den of thieves, ami ignorant, btupid, bigoted black thieves at that. Tuko the convicts in the Ohio peniteutinry, organize them into u body, call it the Legislature, und you huvo a better body of men thnn any Legislature South Carolina has had since 1SGS. Ami further, sta? tistics will show tbat the Ohio convicts aro better educated than tho South Carolina law makers, und bettor quali? fied to perform tho duties of office. More of them can read, morn of them Bun write, more of them kuow the dif? ference betwoen Watts' hymns and tbo Constitution of tho United States. If tho most intelligent men iu tho peni? tentiary hud beou selected iu 1808 us legislators for South Carolina, and con? tinued in office uutil to-day, I havo no I hesitancy iu saying, that the condition of affairs here would now bo better. Iu looking over the figures of tho debt of South Carolina, remembor that she is a small Stato in wealth, worth uot more than one-tenth of what Ohio is. In other words, Ohio is as able to carry a debt of 310.000.000 as South Caroliua is a debt of $1,000,000 The cry of ? 'ReformI Beformt" among the Republicans here is tho same old humbug. It is the same old cry always hoard just before an elec? tion. Tbo Republicans: of South Caro? lina will uever reform. Tho party here is composed of a mixture of ignorance aud rascality, iu about equal propor? tions. Tho talk of "reform iu the party," and snch a party, is crazy bosh. As loug as the Republicaus control South Caroliua, so long will it be robbed and despoiled. The debt will oontinne to grow larger, credit will continue to sink, und tho thieves to rule. Three years ago, when I was here, (1871,) there was just such a howl about "retrenchment und reform" as is hoard now. I stated in the Commer? cial then that there would be no reform, aud tbat matters would grow worso each year. The prediction has beou verified. I seo no moro chance for improvement now than I saw then. And yet, whun tho whiton of South Carolina appealed to the Federal Go? vernment for protection, what comfort did they get? How much did thoy get from Grant? Onk Faitufui, Wifb, at Least ? The New York Times, of tho 23d ult., says: "Tho notioeablo phase of the Tilton-Beecher difficulty is the unalter? able fidelity with which Airs. Bccchcr ministers to nnd sympathizos with her husband iu his present trouble. AH day yestorday she was constantly iu attendanco npon bim and answered all those who called at tho house She stated that Mr. Beucher was in tho best of health and spirits but that he could only bo seen by his most inti? mate friends.

Three Blick Crows on tue Ram? page.?The ghouls buvo reached Now York. They are up to their eyes in their nasty work. All East of the Sierra Nevada rauge had cougrutul itud itself that tho filthy-minded trio had been driven, if not iuto. at least to the chores of the Pacific Ooeao. We are all mistaken. From thn Puoiiiu, they snufled the battle of Plymouth Cburuh, and, in light marching order, they left the golden shored by the next traiu, to claw und shriek ixultiugly amoug the carcaa.su? that have fallen aud the foulness that tills tin* air. The woman Woodhull, with her pre cious sister Ten nie Clullin aud tho fellow Blood, passed through (Jhieogo ou Wednesday, aud, during ihe wait of tweuty minutes for refreshments, cou trived to have thom-elves interviewed by it Times reporter. Such hi thy ofl'al, it is very safe to say, never before was crammed into tweuty raiuuUs oi time, aud ruiely t.ver found its way into the columns of a paper calling itself re? spectable. The-m harpies are after their harvest. The disgusting Beeeher Tiltou disclosures do but go lar enough to satisfy their delicate appetites. "Theodore ought to have told all there was of it." The more gushing Tenme "don't believe in this pieco-meal way of doiug tbiugs." They themselves know a great deal more than has been told yet, but they have "mudu up their minds not to tell it until utter certain persons have Hpokou." Cburni iug per.-iousl Delicious vampyres! Theodore is "a fine, noble man;" und Mr. Be.eober, too, is "a hue, noble, maguidceut man, but be has the same passions hs all of us." The woman Woodhull has beeu asked to go before the Beecher investi? gating committee, but she is too shrewd for that. She will give her evideucs to the world quietly, through a newspaper, of eo<iree, utid as th? na? ture of that i terviuw with tho Times reporter will reach New York before herself, those most interested will have an opportunity of estimntiug the value of her silence. What a delightful wo maul What u delightful trio! What a precious store tho.-e three outlaw.-, of society have piled up in their braiu manufactory of lies to launch at the ears and eyes of the world if they uro not bought oil! What threads und patches of letters from Beecber aud "Theodore," aud porhups others re? motely allied with Plymouth Church, those vultures may huvo hidden uway among tb?- garbage of their black mail? ing stock in trade! Can uuy one doubt their object in New York ut such a time, uud can any one imagine the dismay of the Bucchcrsuud iboTiltous at the fact of such a trio being preseut to hold their mixed budget of lies and trnth over tho world of Plymouth Church in terrorem? Not ouly over Plymouth Church, but over "the peace and quiet of religiou." Bad us tho muddle wits before, it threatens now, with the presence of these three roving vagabonds, to become so indescribably filthy, that the hou.mious minds of Clubber Alley and kindred localities oau alone sour to a comprehension of the Plymouth slime. \St. Louis Republican. As Kx r it At >ki>in Ait y Mediltm.? Yonng Brown, the mind reader, who is puzzliug New York, has a formidable rival in a Mrs. Miller, who is puzzling Chicago. The mental experiments to which she is eubjected are said to be wonderful, but her physical powers still more striking. liuving magne? tized a small table, by passing her bauds over the top and along tho legs, she turns it on its face, and then re? quests uny gentleman present to turn it buck to stand upon us legs, simply allowing her to place the tip of her linger upon any part ot it. Scores of stalwart men have pitted their full strength ugainst the little finger of this little woman, but have ignominiously I failed. Even four men, wnen the "power" has been strong, have com? bined their strength und failed as well, though generally thn table is broken in I tho effort. It is a very interesting ex-1 periment. While the stalwart man is trying to set it ou its legs, the table will absolutely float all over the room. That is to say, it is continually trying to get away from tho lady's antagonist, and will carry him about, now bore and now there, and will generally sus? tain a position over his head. The moment the sensitive removes her bauds, the table becomes docile and i allows itself to bo set properly upon its I feet, the sumo as any other well-regu? lated piece of family furuiture. An? other phase of Mrs. Miller's medium ship is slate-writing. The visitor is allowed to tiring his own slate?a doable, locked slate, if he chooses? and when tho medium bus held it under a table, intelligent answers to questions or other tests are invuriably fonnd writtcu on the ins-do of the locked slate. But her piece tie resist? ance is her materializing phase. For scientific and test experiments, this lady is the bebt medium ever seen in Chicago. When her hands uro se? curely tied, sewed and sealed tugethor, iron rings, ohairs, coats nnd vests are put on hor porsou so quickly, that ab? solutely no time is consumed. Con? ceding that she was not tiod ut all, but was frou to do with her hands as sho ohoso, she could not manipulate three chairs as they are manipulated in her presence. Taken all in all, Mrs. Mil? ler, iu tho variety of her phases, stands probably ut tho head of the physical mediums of tho couutry, the moro so as she imposes almost no con? ditions. ?

No medicine is so well kuowu and recoguized among tun in cut physicians us a valuable thera? peutic agent as the Queen's Delight. Some doctors think it ranks next to calutnel iu its alterative powers. A learned doctor thus speaks of it: ' Queen's Ueliqiit" seems to exert a power upon evury cell nud molecule of the body, aud modifies their func? tion und condition. It reaches both the fluids und solids, aud impresses upon them a curative influence une qualcd by uny other medicine. Iu curoutc diseuses of the throat, thero is no agent compared with it in value. It relieves the cough, obviates the night swbatu, improves the appetite, and often induces a return to health under thu most unfavorable circumstances. Iu consumption und bronchial dis? eases, the use of '-Queen's Delight" bus been marked with signal advan? tage. Queen's Delight manifests a de? cided impression on the mucous mem? branes, changing their condition by its alterative powers. Rheumatism, both acute and chronic, obey promptly the searching powers of this medicine; aching limbs and back cease to tor? ment, comfort and health is restored. In diseases of the liver, spleen, bladder and skin, the Queen's Delight may be need with greac benefit. For the cure of any of the many diseases incident to the summer season, it can? not be excelled, and we would recom? mend every family to have a bottle of it in the house at all times, in case of sudden BioknesB.

At day-light, he gets up and examines the holes around his corn-hills for cat-worms; then be smashes ooddlingmoth larvm with a hoe-handle until breakfast.

Pardoned.-?The Charleston Neics and Courier says: "No less than twen? ty-one murderers have been pardoned or reprieved; twenty-five persons con? victed of manslaughter go scot-free; twenty-four persons found guilty of the terrible crime of bouse burning es? caped punishment; 110 thieves, big and little, are turned loose to prey upon tho community. We say no? thing of the oolor of the culprits, though probably four-fifths of them are blacks; nor do we oare to inquire who recommended their pardon. The broad fact stands out that Governor Moses in nineteen months has par? doned 421 oriminals, including, wo be? lieve, every County offioial who has been foand guilty of malfeasance ia office. Twelve columns of the Newark (N. J.) Advertiser, ;n the smallest type, are filled with 14,270 pieces of proper? ty, besides railroad property, to be sold for tsres.
