COLUMBIA, S. C. Wednesday Morning. August 12,1874 Tue Bleettona?Tfee Civil fUstita BUI, The resnlta of the recent eleotions mean that the Southern States, all bat' two of them, will? oast a Bolid vote against any candidate for the Presi? dency who is in favor of the Civil Bights Bill. It has hitherto seemed to be almost impossible to open the oyee o* the Northern people to .the state of feeling amongst the whites of tho South on this anbjeot. The letters and votes of Senator? Brownlow and Lewis and other deoided Republicans in Oougress were treated as the ebulli? tions of prejudice, and made no im? pression npon our Northern fellow oitizens. They have few negroes amongst them and oannot jbe seriously annoyed by these. Whilst rather op? posed to any snoh measure- as tho one in question, oar Northern "brethren" have no doubt thooght it would prove a rod with whioh to punish tho South? ern people for their "rebellion" against tho Government. The impres? sion was genoral, also, that it was ne? cessary to pass it in order to preveut the negroes from deserting the Repub? lican party. Tho white Republicans were omitted from tho calculation alto? gether. Senator Morton, the leader of the Republican party, aud who is not only the boldest but also the muBt dangerous man in that party, evi? dently thonght when he made his lato speech giving the key-note to the next Presidential campaign, that the Civil Bights Bill would prove to be a source of strength in the South. -Of all the Northern leaders, General ?Grant is almost the only one whose record is not blurred by his course upon this question. But the Southern people have spoken, and they aro al? most ananimoas in their opposition to ?this measure. What shall be done mow? Will Morton and Oonkling and the rest of the leaders of the Republi? can party, retrace their .steps and ac? knowledge their error ? Will CongroBS at its nest session pass tho Civil Bights Bill, sb up to this time it hau been sup? posed that body woald? Will General Grant now show his hand? Or will he veto tho bill in case it passes? All these interrogatories must have practi? cal answers in a short time; and npon these practical answers will hinge the result of the next Presidential election and the fate of the country. The Biobmond Dispatch in inclined to hope that Congress may conclude to let the Oivil Bights Bill alone, and try to do something for tho benefit of the white people of the South, and that General Grant will be strengthened in his pur? pose to veto that bill if it sboald be passed by Congress. /It would, how? ever, be a strange and unexpected re? sult if the Republican party were foroed by the unpopularity of the Oivil Bights Bill to drop all of their prominent candidates for the succes? sion and ronominate Generul Graut. At present almost tho entire Republi? can party of the North is opposed to eleoting Grant to serve a third term. Wilsou, Oolfux, Conkling, Morton, Sherman, Edmunds, and all the rest of tho aspirants, are, of coarse op? posed to a third term, beoanse they all want a first term, whilst the Northern masses are afraid that a third term might lead to a life estate in the Presi? dential office. But necessity may com? pel the Republican party to drop all the blatant negrophilists and run Grant, who has never distinguished himself as a partisan of Sambo's. In fact, there aro so many possibilities in the caae?so many now phases tbotpnr ties may assume as a consequence of tlio disastrous defeat of tho Radicals in North Carolina and Tennessee?that speculation might be indulged in to any extent. Let us hope for tho best. The people of Brooklyn, N. Y., are dated over the resolution of their Common Ooanoil to reBame work at once on the great East River Bridge, to conneot that oity with New York oity. The bonds for the $2,000,000 required for the work are to be issued at once, but as Mayor Havomeyer, of New York, and mombors of its coun? cils are opposed to the present mode of prosecuting the enterprise, alleging that it involves an extravagant swin? dle, it is not clear that the work oan proceed. The Mayor ssys that it has cost 85,000,000 already, with only two piers erooted. They talk about 810, 000,000 more finishing it, bat he says they woald not do it with $20,000,000 more, and then the first big storm would blow it down. He curses it as the biggest swindle oat. Tho independent oolored voters of James Island make it hot for any par? ties who do not support tbeir candi? dates to come around. Several Maok eyites mot with a rough reception thoro a few days ago, and one of them got a Derringer ball in his month, causing him to hold his jaw. Mb. Editob: An article onder the bead of "Tbe Governor's Defence" appoared in the Semi- Weekly Union, of the.10th iastsnt, wherein it stated, on the authority of "a geutloman," who was present, that the address "fell flat upop onappreciativo listeners," and, farther, that neither of the "two bauds of mnsio, liberally provided for," could "keep the andienoe together." To tho first of those allusions, I aan assure you, the informant of tho Union was In error, for the speech was not only well and favorably received, but the evidence of its telling effect was mani? fested by the repeated and frequently interrupted outbursts of applause; und as far as the second part of the com? munication is concerned, that two bands of music employed failed to keep thenudienoe together, tho amount of reliance, to be given it may bo found in? the fact thut. ao fur from two bands being present, there was nut a single instrument of masic ou the ground or about it. ONE WHO WAS ALSO PRESENT. Jons MlTCHEL in Iheland.?Cou trary to the expectation of his friends, Mr. John Mitchel, the well-known Irish pat-iot, was allowed to land in Ireland without inteiferencs from the authorities. It will bo remembered that twonty-sevon years ago Mr. Mitchel was sentenced to imprison? ment for life on account of the part ho took in un attempt, at insurrection. Not liking lifo in the peuul colonies, bo escaped to America, und has ever I sincu maintained au unflinching atti? tude of hostility to tho Government of Great Britain. His return to Ireland iu deflanoe of his bentonco nuturally produced a deep Eensation, and the weloomu which he received on his arriv.il in Cork expressed truly enough the esteem iu which this unflinching opponent of English rule iu Ireland is held by his compatriots. The streets of Cork were illuminated by bonfires, and a torch-light procession, in which nearly 5,000 persons took part, accom? panied by bands of music, serenaded the returned "felon." It was eharao teristioof the man, tbat the first words spoken in public were a fierce denun? ciation of the Government. Ho ad? mitted that he might he oast into prison at uny time, without even pro tenoe of u orime, but consoled himself with the reflection that every one of his hearers was in exactly the same predicament. He took occasion to in? form all whom it might concern, that he had returned in the hope of boing ablo "to do something effective iu the struggle of his country agaiust foreign domination." There mnst be some? thing heroio iu the nature of a man who etauds thus boldly forward in de? fence of what he conceives to be th? right. The indifference to his personal safety and devotion to his cause shown by Mr. Mitchel, in voluntarily placing himself in the power of his ouemies, because he conceived it was right that he should do so, must win for him the respect even of those who cannot share either his hopes or his aspirations. \New York Herald. There is said to be an alarming pre? valence, just now, of riot, robbery aud murder in the coal regions of Penn? sylvania. Recently, at Contraria, a number of persons were shot in a riot, several of tbem fatally. Shamokin, last week, was the aeeun of u brutal murder. Almost evory day, some citi? zen reooeives a Ku Klux notice to thu effect that ho mustguvuru his net ion in snch a way us is mentioned or leave the conolry, his life to bo forfeited unluss be does. All these outrageous proceedings uro attributed to tbe "Molly Muguires," u baud of cut? throats, who ure said to ply their trade of robbery und murder in tho mining couutry. It has always been u uo ticeable fact, that tho desperadoes, who generally travel in squads of three and upwards, attempt to nssassiunto mine bosses. Two attempts of this tort were made lust week, ouo being suc? cessful?Mr. Alfred L. ixieou, n col? liery boss, being fatally shot. Terri? ble riots havo occurred at Providouce, 10 which scores of ruffians have en? gaged, and several persons have been shot and stubbed. Thu editors of newspapers huvo received numerous "cofiiu letters"?a document embla? zoned with a skull and cofiiu and cross-boues, and warning the recipient to leave the territory, under penalty of death. Soverul bodies, dreadfully mu? tilated, bearing evory evidence of murder, have been found within a short time in the Susquehunna River and along tho road leading to tho mountains. All things considered, it is not astonishing to learn that vigi? lance committees uro out, und that summary justice is likely to rulo in the coal district, wherever thcao cut? throats are captured. A Change fob the Truly "Loil."? At the close of tho last session of Con? gress, a law was passed to extend the time for filing olaims againBt the Uuited States to July 1st, 1875. Many per? sons not aware that they had good claims have hitherto mado no efforts towards filing and recovering tbe same. All who wore loyal, minors, the very aged and infirm of both sexes, cripples, and persons of impaired mind, may now have an opportunity of being reimbursed for property taken by the United States army or navy during the war, if their situation was buoh that they did not or oould not do any act of disloyalty. Olaims for property taken after June 30,1865, the date on which peace was pro? claimed by President Johnson, may also be recovered without proof of loyalty boing required. Fatal S?n-stuoke.?Mr. Clarence Gray, who was sun-struck while work? ing at Magnolia Cemetery, Charleston, on Saturday, died on tbe 10th. Major Oalhoun'b Complaint. ?The necessity of being a gentleman before yon .can expect to be treated like one, SeecftB never to occur to aome people. Hereia tUo caeoof Maj. A. IV Oil h o an, of Philadelphia, -hioh apparently illus? trates the lack of comprehension re? ferred to. He valiantly carpet-bagged, into Georgia, and set up a loyal paper in Columbus, a year or bo ago, and had cultivated himaelf into such a child of the soil, that he thought it quite his! privilege to remark, in his 4th of Jnly editorial, that "Southern ohivalry ia all balderdash." And he was greatly sur? prised to be treated, as he complain?, j "with contumely and ingratitude" I thereafter by the oitizms of Colum? bus. Now, there'ti no denyiug but that may ?avo been a piece uf greatly need? ed nvaugelism, for whose preaching the people owed him hearty thanks. But the uuphilosopbio Southern uuud didu't naturally enjoy it; Major Cal houu's way of saying it was not gos pely, und some of the people treated hiin, it is likely, us if he had come into their house and pulled their uosu. But suppose the tables turned; a Southern editor up North, who should, at the year's end, blurt out that Yan? kee philanthropy is n humbug and Yankee euterprise an aptitude for cheating?wouldn't be probably be cut and snubbed no little by good society? It is true, wo weigh people more closely up here, and should probably rather laugh nt a Calhouu than get mad nt him; nevertheless, theroV hardly chauco to rave about Southern bigotry and intolerance on this ac? count.?Springfield Kepublicnn. Styles at Saiiatoqa.?Jenny Juue, writing iroiu Saratoga, is authority for some spicy fashion gossip from that resort. Two years ago, bvlles were performing all the evolutions of the exaggerated "Grecian bend." Now they show sleuder backs, perfectly straight, and iuuoeeut of the smallest atom of tournnre. The head is small now, the pull's, braids aud ourls hav? ing all gouc; the hair is combed tightly up, and disposed off in a single bruid laid straight and close to the buck of the head. Tho frout hair is combed smooth to the side of the face, in little wavelets, and when the eyes are turned up, the loJk of inuouenco and simpli oity combined is extremely captivating. Fashion is just now known, though uot wholly, by its simplicity, absence of puffs, panniers, bunched skirts und the re-appuitrauee of muuy old ideas; plain skirts, spoucer waists, side pock? ets, close-fitting bodies, Ac. A great deal of rich embroidery is soeu. Co? lors are trimmed with tho self mate? rial, or the costume is of two shades of materials?"composite." White aud black toilettes are among the most costly. Black greuudiues are mude with two skirts, with ?u aprou of black laoe over, and "cuirass" jacket, sleeveless and of striped jet. Other grenadines are hemmed with black thread lace und worn with pale blue or piuk sashes. Spencer waists of pink or blue silk, with black or wbito skirts, are not uncommon. Fans universally hang from the side. There whs an old con pie at the Cen? tral depot yesterday, waiting to go to tho West, and they Heeined loving cuougb until he went outuud returned smoking u tivo-cout cigar und with his but slanting over his left ear. The wife looked at him twice before she could recognize bim und then opened her mouth and naid: "What'd I tell ye, Philetus Bemingtou, before we left New Jersey? Didn't I say you'd go aud make a fool of yourself the first obauce you got ?" He tried to pacify her by saying that the cigar only oott live cents, but ?he shouted: "You teased aud teased until I let you git your boots olucked; und then you Wunted some soda water; aud then you bought Dome apples ou the train; und bore's another ttve cents thrown away! It nil oouuts up, and it you don't din in the poor-house, then my name hain't Suryl"?Detroit Free Press. TheDnbnque Times tells :i romantic little story about the marriage of Mr N. L. Ahlen, of Dubuque, and Mrs. Abbie M. Orcutt, of Uoston, which took place there on the 22d ultimo. The bride and groom became acquaint? ed thirty years ago, und two years later were engaged, to he married. An unfortunate occurrence caused a rup? ture aud thoy separated, she remain? ing iu Boston uud be going to the West. E-ioh was married without the other's knowledge, and both had chil? dren, he had livo nnd she three. About five years ngo her husband died, und over a year ngo his wife passed awoy. Last Juno the former lovers met in Dubuque, made it all up aud tho marriage bells rang again. An ''Isdepesdent" Scoundi?il.-? W. H. H. Houston,!! well known cotton buyer of Charlotte, and lute inde? pendent candidate for Sheriff, has committed several forgeries in that oity, and on being discovered, depart? ed for parts unknown, on Sunday night. $12,635 is supposed to ho tho amount of his forgeries. The most diograoofal circumstance connected with the whole matter, is Houston's having borrowed $1,500 from an or? phan girl in the County, and forging the name of W. J. Black as security of tho note. The young lady, upon hear? ing of her loss, wept most hittorly. It was all she had iu the world. A FataTj Diva.?Jerry Mauigaolt, a colored youth, eighteen years old, was drowned while bathing in Adger's North dock, Ob irleston, on Saturday afternoon. He was an expert swim? mer, but dived into the water whore it was too shallow.

Signals of Distress.?When the eyes have become dull and heavy, the nervous system morbidly sensitive, tbe muscles flaccid, the complexion sallow, the body lauguid, the mind listless, and the fire and energy which should characterize health havo wholly or meusnrably disappeared, the indi? vidual exhibiting these symptoms may take it for granted that his stomach is diseased, his liver disordered, his blood impure or impoverished, and his constitutional stamina and vitality impaired. What his case requires is immediate and judicious medical treat? ment. He need not, however, put himself to the expense of consulting a physician. It is as clear as tbe sun in a cloudless sky that he is dyspeptic, and it is as certain as any demonstrated fact can be that Hostetter's Stomach Bitters will cure dyspepsia end all the brood of bodily aud mental ills of which it is the parent. Let him com? mence a course of the remedy at once, and, following the directions faithfully, continue to take it until every disa? greeable symptom shall have disap? peared. If it bo a case of long stand? ing, the euro will uot be sudden and immediate. The great tonic and cor? rective, potent as it is, does not work miracles; but surely, thongh gradu? ally, it will restore tbe soflerer to per? fect health. From day to day his eyes will become brighter, his nerves firmer, his mutclea more elastic, his com? plexion lresher aud clearer, his spirits brisker. In due time be will be once more iu a fit condition to fight the battle of life vigorously and effectively, aud will admit that, if dyspepsia is our national disease, we have in Hostet ter's Bitters a national specific equal to tho emergency. Ang 9 f3^1 Many who are suffering from the effects of the warm weather aud ate debilitated, are advised by physicians to take moderate amounts of whiskey two or three times during the day. In a little while, those who adopt this advice frequently increase the number of "drinks," and' iu time become con? firmed inebriates. A beverage whioh 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. Sehenck's Sea Weed Tonic. Con? taining the juices of many medicinal herbs, this preparation does not create an appetite for the intoxicating cup. Tho nourishing and tbe life-supporting properties of many valuable natural productions contained in it and well known to medical men have a most strengthening influence. A single bottle of the Tonic will demonstrate its valuable qualities. For debility aris? ing from sickness, over-exertion or from any cause whatever, a wine glassful of Sea Weed Tonic, taken after meals, will strengthen the sto? mach and create an appetite for whole? some food. To all who ore about leaving their homes, we desire to say that tho exzellent effects of Dr. Sohenok'B seasonable remedies, Sea Weed Tonio and Mandrake Pills, are particularly evident when taken by those who are injuriously affected by a change of water and diet. No person should leave home without taking a supply of those safeguards along. For sale by all druggists.
