COLUMBIA, S. C. Sunday Morning. August 0,1874. Oonr?gc> Courage! The loading colored men ia this State have got hold of one wholesome truth, although some of them wish to make an illegitimate use of it. Dela ney, several months ago, wrote a sen? sible letter on the uncertain tenure by which the black raoA holds power in South Carolina. . He urged them to be wise in time and concede to the white people minority representation by cu? mulative voting. It scarcely made a ripple, and Wright, to whom it was addressed, replied in terms of ribaldry and oontempt. This voioe of Delaney's WBB the only one haarri in L?h Sfcatn from the Radical side since the mea? sure was discussed aud agreed to in tbq. Taxpayers' Convention, in 1871. liad'Mr. Chamberlain taken the agree? ment'Of that oonvontion to biff usHtjoi ates and prooured its practioal adop tion, as he proffered to do, some check might have been interposed to tbe Bway of corruption. But he let it aleep the aloep of deatb. While he and they have persisted in the policy of crowding the white man, humiliating tbe minority and binding them down, hand and foot, in a degradation whioh knows no parallel in history, time has been preparing a startling revenge. What mean these ominous words from Judge Fierrepont, an eminent Repub? lican, in an address at New Haven? ?'It waa not thought desirable that statesmen should meddle in this mat? ter, while politicians hastened to re construct the South upon theories crude, ill-considered and impossible of suoae&s. * * * Tbe seeds of this folly, are now produoiug fruits after their kind, and bitter fruits, more dangerous to liberty than any that were ever ripened on American soil." What means the failure of the Re? publican party in Congress to pass the Civil Rights Bill? What baa so sud? denly influenced the sentiment of the people of Arkansas^ Tennessee, Mis? souri, North Carolina and Mississippi, and given euch oompleto victory to tbe Democratic standard? How is it that Smith, who was, for political reasons, introduced into West Foint, and kept there for the same reasons three years, has now been made to walk the plank and to abandon'all hope of wearing epaulettes iu command over white men? More significant still is the ex? clusion, by recent Act of Congress, of all persons from the right of sitting upon a jury in the United States Courts who cannot read and write. The rumbling of this thunder has reached the dull ears of tbe oolored leaders of South Carolina. They know that it is approaching, and they feel that this is the spot, of all others, as the most foul and oorrupt, whioh will receive its most powerful and pointed stroke?first to destroy and then to purify. Ransier, Elliott, Cardozo and Rainey have heard it at last. Iu a speeoh at Snxnter, Rainey said that a.qualifioa tion upon voting was nnder considera? tion, and he expressed "the conviction that there was now strength enough of feeling on this subject to pasB such an amendment to the Constitution, and unless there was improvement, this would be done." With their usual short-sightednoss, these people can only extract from such portentous signs of the times a feeble warning in order to subserve a small political pur? pose. They une them only to frighten voters to support their candidate for Governor, and to continue themselves in charge of the power whioh they have flagrantly abused. Eleot a man, they virtually 6ay, who planted and watered our 815,000,000 increase of public debt; who is the bond-holders' candidate to revive and establish the conversion bonds and other fraudulent olaims against the State and people; olect the man who made the measure to give land to the landless, an abortion and a cheat, and this thunder will be bottled up again; or the Sinking Fund Governor, like a patent lightning-rod, will receive it all and conduct it away out of sight. They can't see and they won't see anything in the light of u duly to be discharged, or of instruc? tion to be followed. They are but blind guides leading tho blind. They proscribe intelligence and oulture; they deride honesty and fair dealing; they contemn character and honor; they re ?og?ise property only to prey upon it. They can't rise to. the simple concep? tion that as those qualities, accom? plishments and advantages make men strong, capable and excellent, so their full and paramount representation in a State is indispensable to make it re? spectable, to render iV a fit home aud nursery of worth ahd virtue, and capa? ble of progress and advancement in all tho arts o4jJ|ivilization. They would oo^^nfo^taMso^j^d^ theso things* down and perpetuate their barbarous rale. They oannot read the meaning of the owning atorm. Bat let oar people doc Jose haart, La? them re? member who thqy are, and ?hat blood flows in their veins. They have bat to advaaoo steadily on the line, and work faithfully for their relief. It will" oome. Deliverance is only a question of time. ".Looking," says the author of the "Prostrate Stake," "at the situ? ation and resources of South Carolina, and the invincible qualities that make the Anglo-Saxon raae, we oannot ad? mit that she is going to be arrested in her progreBB, aud, least of all, to re joede and relapse into barbarism, be? cause or hor present abnormal condi I tioa. The State canst burst its bonds. [The whites must have in one way or another their relative weight in public affairs, not only in respect to the claim of numbers, but of tho still weightier claims of property, intelligence and enterprise. While the laws of the aniverse remain, these claims must in the end'successfully assert themselves. Not even governments can prevent it. And it is about time for the Federal Ad? ministration to lake this reflection to heart.'" -??-??-? ClTll Rights In Full Bloom?Tl?e L.ca loii Not Lohi. "The State has upon hor statute booksaoivil righth law which the inge? nuity of Sumner and Garrison would fail to amend in favor of the oolored man and the former slave. By it every privilege sought to be obtained by the Sumner bill is here scoured. No suoh thing as a separate public school exists by law in this State; no asylum, hospital, cemetery, collego or other institution, supported in whole or in part by public funds, can make any distinction between citizens in granting its privileges; no hotel, bil? liard-room, theatre, stage, car or other place or thing licensed for the public conveyance, can discriminate in.refer ence to its accommodations between white and oolored men. In addition to this complete law, the power is and hus been here to enforce it. To all intents and purposes, the colored man rales the State of South Carolina; the three branches of a republican Govern? ment are here found under his con? trol."?Port Royal Commercial. The black despotism is com philo here. Public institutions have gone to rain. Public education is only a faint memory. The wheels of civilization are blocked. Tho oredit of the State is buried and its honor ornoifled. The blackness of darkness overspreads the land. It was the shadow of this pros? tration, the dread of similar sbame and degradation, whiob, falling upon Ten? nessee and North Carolina, has roused into aotivity all the dormant energies of their people. It was brought home to the people of Tennessee in the efforts of Maynard, who, in several speeches, endorsed the Congressional Civil Bights Bill as a party mea?nre. They have anBwered\hini in a way he will not forget. A complete revolu? tion has swept over the State. The vote was no loss full than decided. "This," says the despatch from Mem? phis, "is accounted for on the ground of hostility to the Civil Bights Bill and mixed schools." Thus, if wo aro not able to help ourselves, we bave been a terrible lesson to others. We are the sign-post among the States, warning them of the way to disgrace, danger and death. But can wo not help our? selves? Wo can do more than wo have done. There is no bold, manly pro? test or vote even recorded by tho Con? servative minority of the last Legisla? ture against the Radical legislative endorsement of Suinner's amended Civil Rights Bill. ??Goralng KvenU Cant tlielr Stiadow? Before." "Leading men of the nation hud said to him that the experiment of univer? sal suffrage in South Caroliua hud proved a signal failure. A prominent Republican of Now York hud said to him that a qualified suffrage in South Carolina, Louisiana, Mississippi and Arkansas seemed to bo a necessity." j So said Rainey, colored member of Congress, in tbo town of Sumter, on the 3d inst. "He said .that when in New York last, he oonversbd with one of the strongest friends to the oolored people, and he intimated that there wus very considerable daugor of depriving tho people of the suffrage by qualifying it in the Bame way." So said Gardozo, colored State Trea? surer, in ward meeting, on Wodnosduy evening. Neither of these oolored statesmen has yet taken ground in favor of quali? fied 8offrage. -?-??-? Pbeyarioatiqn.? Congressman Wal? lace says he did not say, at Qowdeys ville, "that if the oolored people don't got thoir rights at the ballot-box, they must resort to tbe cartridge-box." He says that what he did say was "that every election is a rovolation peacefully and quietly effected by tho ballot box. If you handle tbe ballot-box safely und wisely, you will never have to resort to tbe oartrldge-box, tho last resort of all despotio governments," Tbe Way It Was. Congressman Wulluoe, iu u card, de? nies that he said to colored people at Qo wdeysvllle: "Your dghts are in peril, and you must defend them. If yon don't get tbem at the ballot-box, you mst resort to tho cartridge-boxI" What he did say, he says, was: "That every eleotion is a revolu? tion, peaoefully and quietly effected by the ballot-box. If you handle the ballot-box safely and wisely, you will never have to resort to the cartridge box, the last resort of all despotic go-1 verument8." We are not sure that wo understand the Congressman. Does he mean to advise the black people that if they don't handle the ballot-box wisely and safely?that is, we suppose, if they can't succeed in re-electing him aud keeping the Radical party in power? they must then resort to the cartridge box? By-the-way, how is "every elec? tion a revolution?" Revolution means entiro change. Suppose, for instance, that you aro re-elected peace? ably and quietly by the ballot-box, is that such a revolution as will give the office to your competitor? We think the Congressman had better let those dangerous boxes alone, und mind how he slings double-edged words about. If through their odd use, he should lose his seat in Congress by being elected, it would be equally remarka? ble as his predeaessor's feat of getting to Congress by not being elected. But not so satisfactory. ? ????-? Wax??The Sun, the new dtily newspaper established in Charleston, and conducted by ex-Judge William M. Thomas, gives tho following preg naut reuuou fur not supporting Mr. D. H. Cbamberluiu for Governor. It says: "It is because Mr. Cbamberlaiu is at present tho lawyer aud representative! of tho frauduleut indebtedness of the State, and because the devotiou which he bus exhibited towards it iu tbe past aud the vast amount of interest which he possesses iu its recovery, uuy ut tempt to make him tbe Governor of the State would be only u step in the law suit which be has iu charge. If tbe people of this State intend to pay this debt, then let tbem support Mr. Chamberlain; if they do not intend to do so, then let tbem say so iu unmis? takable terms. Tho suit is brought against them; thoy now Lave the power to oontrol it. Elect Chamber? lain, and that power is goue from tliem aud their heirs forever." The Presbyterian Guoiton in thic United States.?Thu statistics of tho fresbyteriuu Church for 1871, have* just been published, with u compara? tive summary of five years since tho re? union. There uro now 35 synods, 17-1 presbyteries, an increase of 2 since 1873; 1,597 ministers, inareaeo 03; 4,910 churches, increase 114; 495,031 communicants, in crease 23.Gil; total collections for ull purposes $9,120,792, decrease $501,238. This decrease is distributed between tbo boards of borne missions, education, church erection, und freedmen, aud the relief fund. Since 1870, tho number of churches bus increased by 359, aud tbo commuuicants by -IS.073. The collections have increased iu thi"- pe? riod by 080,071. ???? - ?? ? Au infant, five days old, has been exciting tbe peoplo of Johnsonvillo, Tenn., by its prognostications. It propheoted tho storm in tho vicity of Pittsbnrg. A colored man, while stand? ing by tho crib, looking ut tbe child, she Biitldenly looked tip into Ins face, and, iu a clear, distinct voice, euid. "Woo to you aud your race on the 0th of August next; look well to your households; stay oloau to your homes, for a storm will rage far worse than tin one just passed, which will wipe all ne? gro stragglers from tbo face of the earth. Take hoed, colored peoplo, mid respect this warning." The Akoentine Repuiiho.?The fol. lowing telegram to President Grant lias boon received: "There was a geuerel rejoicing in tbo United States wbou the lir.st sub? marine cable was laid. At tbe close of my term of office, I leavo my couutry in communication with all nations. The Argontino Republic is now nt the gates of tbe United States. I greet President Grant. SAUMENTE TUST, Argentine Republic." The Column Vkndomb.?It is un uouueed that the Yendome Column, pulled down by tho Communists, will be completed by .September. It bus been decided not to crown it with the statue of Nupolcon. A Uovorumont that fears tho statue must bo weak. Tbo column should not be mutilated. Tho absence of the great Emperor from the monument, which is nothing if not a tribute to his glory, will be more conspicuous than the restoration would ! have been. '?flu the United States Court, at Oreonvillo, on tho 7th, Judge Bryun passed the following sentences: George Anders, illicit, distilling as a luborer, one month's imprisonment; Warren R. Davis, illicit distilling, one year's im? prisonment aud $1,000 fine. Tbo Graud Jury rendered several verdicts, Messrs-. Wm. Lyon and Nat.

Thou little Franz, in whoso largo, earnest eyes The shadow of some disappointment lay, Asked: "Master, doth Christ bear be? yond the skies? He conies not, though wo aek Him every day." "Dear child," the Master said, "have tbou no fear, For the Good Shepherd loves this little dock; Keep thou His plaoe?sotnu day He will bo hero." Just then, upon the door, u trem? bling knock. And, lo! a poor, balf-frozeu 'prentioo lad, Huugry and weary, asked a little bread; Siok and a stranger, he no shelter had, And knew not where to lay his ach? ing head. They welcomed him with childish warmth und grace, Aud artless words of sympathy they said; And every boy would gladly yield his place, Or with tho pick oue shuro his little bed. But Franz, with earnest eyes, sat still aud thought, Pondering us oue that does uot hear or see, Till, in thut blessed mood, by angols taught, What hud been dark ho now saw perfectly. Then to the Master ran, with foot? steps light, Aud climbed his knee, aud conti dently suid : "Tho dear Lord Jesus could not como to-night, Aud so He sent this poor one in His stead; Ih't so, my Mister?" Aud tho Master's eyes Filled with strange tears. "O sweet, wise heart!" he suid, "Truly thy prayer was hoard beyond tho skies.

Aug 0 j.i'jl Many who uro r.ufferiug from the effects of the warm weather and aro debilitated, are advised by physicians to take moderato amounts of whiskey two or three times during the day. Iu u little while, those who adopt this advice frequently increase the number of "driuku," aud iu time become con? firmed inebriates. A beverage which will not create thirst for intoxicating liquors, and which is intended espe? cially for the benefit of debilitated persons, whether at home or abroad, is Dr. Sob click's Sea Weed Tonic. Con? taining tho juices of many medicinal herbs, this preparation does not create an appetite for the intoxicating cup. The nourishing and the life-supporticg properties of many valuable natural productions contained in it and well known to medical men have a most strengthening influence.
