col ltMKia, sT c. Friday Morning. August 14, 1874. The Oatjr of ConiervatiTe Constltuen Oles and Oomervatlve llepreactita tlTes. Wo find something of liberality andvi not a little of good sense, as applied to the Conservatives of South Carolina, in Bome views expressed by oar Radi? cal contemporary of this place, a few days ago, apbu the subject of "majori? ties and minorities." -3?hey ft re none the less trae,. that they take aomowhat the shape of accusations. The thought which lies below is, that minorities in a State have their daties no less than majorities, and that the daties devolv? ing upon the minority in this State have not been faithfully discharged. When this thought comes back to us in this way, it is time to heed it, and to make the best possible praotioal use of it. Oor contemporary justly says that many of the misfortunes of the Conservatives are due to a want of sa gaoity, a laok of unity and a neglect of the political weapons which lie ready to their bands. With a olear, overwhelming and almost immovable I majority against us, oQloered by a class of men whose native nronenees tomisohief and corruption was brought into full bloom and vigor by the feel- j ing of power and the sense of immu? nity for crimes, it was not to be ex? pected that we oonld suooessfully con? test the political control or fill any of c he great offices of power. But ws could have. gone to the sources of power, and beginning at the bottom, have patiently built up our structures of opinions and policy. Taming from those who aould not be reasoned with, who can only be in? fluenced by broad faots, and those facta such as inhere in asoeudauoy and give assurance of protection, we might have fused the mass of our people, the white race particularly, and almost ex? clusively, into a determined organiza? tion, ready to aat as a unit in securing nach present advantages ns were possi? ble to it, and to be kept compact and united to avail itself of fatare opportu? nities. From the start, we ought to have placed, wherever we oould do it, true men in position, to act as the ad? vance guard, and contend for every point where justioo and right were in? volved. In the Legislature, we ought to have had strong men and more of them, to break- tho force of the de? structive measures that have there been forged. There is invincible power in right, in truth, in duty; and a man who represents them and has the true energies of a mao, is u power anywhere and everywhere that cannot be wholly resisted. Had we put our best men in the General Assembly, and the fullest number that we oonld have sent, charged with'the important task of always protesting where they oould not resist, of working in season and out of Beason, in vindication of a people temporarily down-trodden, and who meant at all hazards to rise from their prostration, they would have oommanded tho admiration of the country at large, and secured the de? votion of the people of the State whom they so faithfully served. We are very far from saying that we have not had good, faithful and able men there. Bat they have laoked system, and their individuality has been meaaura bly loBt. They should now repair whatever errors may have been com? mitted, and stand together againBt fraud and corruption, against igno? rance and inoompeteuoy, doing all the positive and direot good they oan, and preventing all the evil possible to their best endeavors. Wherever a true and oapable man oan be intro? duced into the Legislature, it ought to be done. Tho Counties with de? cided Conservative majorities ooght not to forego a single item of their local advantages, and where they are nearly balanced, they should strive by every fair means to make the balance lean to their side. We are satisfied that they oan inorease the Conservative repre? sentation and improve its quality. This is the duty of the people. They oannot escape it, and tbey ought cot to try to escape it. Not until they have done their boat will they stand acquitted before the country. When they have done it, they will become relieved of responsibility, and their representatives become charged with it. It is likely to be grave. We trust that no man will assume it inconsiderately. The highest motives should operate here. Cyphers are not wanted; men who are not alive to the situation are not wanted. The exigencies likely to arise will demand qualifications of statesmanship and manhood. We are approaching a great ohauge, and possi? bly the Solution of our vexed and vex? ing political problem. We shall re quire oapaoity, experience, vigor, oba raoter, patriotism and ooarage. Let those who have them not, either stand or bejmBheo^put qf tue way. | ^ G?4. W. \ytillama, or Ch?iU?tun. if\ *Y ADDIBON. ! I "Honor and fasho frgm no condition riae, Aot wull your part, thoro all tho honor lies." The pages of history teem with no counts of men who have risen- from the lowly vale of poverty to the most exalted stations.' The humble student boy has risen hy degrees and becomes [the learned and scientific professor; tho apprentice from his Berving to the elevated dignity of a statesman; the private soldier to wear the insignia of royalty; the rustic youth from the country to the distinguished lawyer aud the merchant millionaire; the plowman of the Behl, hy the splendor bf his talents, become* tho object of universal admiration. Theso live a'ong the aisles of history, but wo Bhall not seek in the past or in distant lands for one worthy of our notice. He can bo found nearer home, a citizen of our own beloved Stale, and as deserving of a mark of respect for his course in life as those who have preceded him [ to more exalted positions, j A few doys ago, we reaeived a pam? phlet, entitled "The Thirty-second Anniversary of the House of Geo. W. Williams & Oo. and the Inauguration of the Carolina Savings Bank, of Charleston, S. 0.," which was held in Charleston, S. O., May 2, 1874. The head and front of this house is Qeorge W. Williams. At this oelebration were present the basiness men of the city, divines, judges, editors and the talent of the bar, who, in appropriate speeches, marked by modesty, paid merited compliments to the successful merohant and banker, G. W. Williams. We have but slight acquaintance with Mr. Williams, but presume him to be between fifty and sixty years of age. Suffiae it to say, that be started out in life when seventeen years of age, with ten dollars in his pooket, earned by the sweat of hie brow. From bis father's home, in Naooochee Valley, Ga., walked to Augusta, Ga., with a budget on(bis baok, distant 150 miles. There we find him obtaining a situa? tion, prompt in action, attentive to his basiness, industrious, honest, eco? nomical and moral in hi? habits. Step by step, he rose, until we find him doing business on his own responsi? bility. Next a wholesale merohant and banker in the nity of Charles? ton and a banker iu New York, and now the inaugurutor and Presi? dent of tbe Charleston Savings Bauk, chartered by the last Legislature?an institution which, if properly conduct? ed, (which wo have every assurauce of from his being tbe President,) will bo of incalculable benefit to all classes of society. Mr. Williams is a wealthy man?uot so wealthy as Astor or Yaoderbilt or Stewart, but wealth far beyond the most of onr Southern merohants. He is liberal in his views, oburitablo in his disposition and generonB in his dona? tions. He steered his concern safely through stormy panics and monetary convulsions, when hundreds went down all aroand him; passed unscathed through the trying ordeal of tbe war, and lannohed ont with renewed vigor at its cIobc on the commercial ocean again. He stands to-day ut the heud of the mercantile department in South Caroliua. The pictures drawn by Plutarch have influenced, it is Baid, the minds of many to great aud heroic aotious. While Mr. Williams would be no pro? totype for glory-seeking men at the cannon's mouth on the bloody Seid of battle, yet it may well be said that he stands forth to-day as a living model for the yoong men of the State, who have to go forth on the battle-field of life and desire to achieve a successful and respectable name. We wish tbat every young man iu the State had one of these pamphlets to read. His letter and speech possess not tho classic style of Bulwer, the descriptive power of Cooper, the mellowed softness and chastity of Irving, the beauteous imagery of Bryant, the pleasing uud attractive manner of Scott, the humor, glow and sparkle of tbe brilliant Hal look, but they abound in maxims of wisdom and experience, inculcating industry, perseverance, energy, ho? nesty, morality, punctuality?becom? ing qualities that will lit oue to stand before princes. They are fur superior to the yellow backed novels of tho day, which teach unreal notions of life, exaggerated views and pander to the morbid appetites of society. The lessons of bis carcor are calcu? lated to plant rioh seeds in tho bosom of every young man, to blossom in manhood and bear fruit when they are old. His advice, in a few words, is "Be up and doing, With a heart for every fate; Still achieving, still pursuing, Learn to labor and to wait." Both Mill Biver and Pittsburg fur nisbed baby heroes, of whose triumph over tbe raging waters tho papers have made due note. Tbe Pittsburg inno? cent floated in its crib thirty-two miles, and having sense enough to stay aboard, was finally saved. Now, in view of the old proverb about persons who can't be drowned, tbe future of these two yonng ones will be worth watching. Let us sea if they are io be banged. Upon a ranch iu Nevada, on tbe Carson Biver, there is a herd of twen? ty-six camels, all but two of wbioh were bred and raised iu Nevada. Some years ago, nine or ten oamels were im? ported into that State, but of these only two lived to bocome aoolimated, and from this pair have been raised twenty-four auamala. Tbe men who now have them are Frenchmen, who had formerly some experience with camels in Europe. Correspondence of the Phoenix. SrARTANBUHO, August 12, 1874. The extra train from Alston arrived jn excellent time at this plaoe yealer 'day,. bringing a good delegation of members to both the Agricultural and. Mechanical Society and the Railroad Contention. | The society met to day, and was well attended. President Woodward road an interesting address, in the oourso of whioh he gave an ac? count of the financial condition of tho society, aud urged tbo importance oi promptly aud properly sustaining it. Prof. Ho! mos, of Charleston, Mr. Hose, of tho. tumu plucc, AlcBtrs. Means and Farley, of Spartauburg, read instructive essuys on several sub? jects of intercRt to the agriculturist. Tbe<e were discussed ut suinu length. Tho society will ooutiuue its sessions this evening and to-morrow. Tu nt?ht l?-?f i j . % j ....... ia i.. deliver .. lecture on the periods of geology. It is awfully hot hero to-day. But the hospitality and kiudueas of the Spartanburgers would compensate worse evils. This place is growing und is nuito lively. I go hence to GLENN'S. The Riot at Somervil-l-e, TENNES? see.?Tho election of the 6tb hud beou hotly contested, and many negroes bud attended tbo polls during tbo day heavily armed, and some had openly tbreatoned to burn the town. During the day. a prominent negro politician, named Cash Warren, bad cursod and abused a young brother of Mayor Hen don, and on yesterday, encountering Mayor Hendon on tbo street, began to abuGO him, and finally snapped u pis? tol in the Mayor's face, who then drew a pistol aud shot him dead. Almost simultaneously two or three shots were fired at tbo negro by the friends of the Mayor, who bad collected there, among whom wus Oscar Burton, who wus charged with tiring at Warren when he met bis death, by the negroes, who had bcoome very much incensed at tbo death of Warren and tbreutcuud to kill Burton, who, about 11 o'clock, ap? peared on the streets, armed with a double-barrelled shot-gun and pistole. Judge J. G. Reeves, Albert Reeves, the Sheriff elect, and another brother named Paul, attempted to arrest and disarm Barton, and, owing to a report that a body of negroes were marchiug into town, Burton refused to be arrest? ed and they opened fire on him, wouui ing him severely in four different places. He returned the fire with a shot-gun, mortally wounding Paul aud Albert and then fell himself, but ruis iug himself on bis elbows, drew bis pistol and shot J. G. Reeves in the shoulder, inflicting a dangerous but not fatal wound. Tho party of ne? groes who bud congregated then open? ed fire on Burton, shooting him in a number of places, and ono rushing up put a pistol to bis buck. In all, ho re? ceived thirteen wounds, and if any prove fatal, which tho dootors doubt, it will be the one lust mentioned. The excitement that followed was iutense. Reports spread that negro minors bid been sent to the country to stir up the various colored societies, nnd Mom phis was telegraph od to for aid. Many negroes left town as was supposed to procure reinforcements, among whom was Williamson, who, in a speech dur? ing tho canvass, snid if the Civil Rights bill was not paesed he would ride in blood up to his bridle bits, wns captured last night, but escaped after wurde. On the arrival of the military from Memphis, they found the oitizaus in arms aud the towu under strict patrol. Their arrival was bailed with great joy by the whites. Distres*ino Casuai/ty.?As a oarri ugo containing several young porsons wits crossing the Philadelphia and BhI timore Railroad at Newark, on the Oth, it was struck by a train, demolishing the carriage, killing the horse and throwing out the oocapunts. Mr. Nor ris had bis left leg broken and other? wise injured; Willie Hawkins, collar? bone fractured; Suliio Sinou, limbs se? vered above tbo knee, causing death; Miss Keeley, both limbs amputated; Daniel Keeley, badly out. While the national bank note cur? rency is running through the renovat? ing process ut Washington at tho ruto of S'250,000 u day, at which rate it would, without stopping to think, bo supposed the whole would soou bo re? newed, some ono who has calculated ssys at even this largo rate it will take over four years to pass the $300,000, 000 of this currency through tbo reno? vating process. A Neuro's Head as Hard as Rock. A negro boy jumped from tho window of tho Tyree House, in Lynchburg, to uvoid being captured. He wus disco? vered trying to pilfer one of tbo rooms. He jumped forty feot, his head strik? ing u rock, bat not seriously hurting him. At laBt nocounts ho was seen crossing James River. James M. Hightower plead guilty to the charge of illicit distilling, and was sentenced by Judge Bryan to be im? prisoned six months, and pay j? 1,000 flue. Died rich Bieman charged with fraudulent removal and concealment of spirits, but the jury of the United States Supreme Court brought iu a verdict of not guilty. New York oity wants to secede from the Stato. The motive is in the fact that her oitizens Buffer from unjust representation, one citizen of the in? land Counties being politically equal to two New Yorkers, and because the State taxes nref proportionately heavier on the New Yorkers. Narrow Escape.?Mrs. Jane Mar? tin, of Donnaldsville, while coming down stairs at her home, last week, eteppod upon a snake whioh coiled around her ankle and struck at her.

Many who are suffering from the effects of the warm weather and are debilitated, are advised by physicians to take moderate amounts of whiskey two or three times during tbe day. In a little white, those who adopt this advice frequently increase the number of "drinks," and in 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 nt home or abroad, is Dr. Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic. Con? taining the juices of many medioinnl herbs, this preparation does not oreate an appetite for the intoxicating cup. The nourishing and the 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 tho t,to maob and create an appetite for whole? some food. To all who are about leaving their homes, we desire to say that the exzellent effects of Dr. Sohenck's 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 withont taking a supply of these safeguards along. For sale by all druggists. A9f 13 Signals of Distress.?When the eyes have become dull and heavy, the nervous system morbidly sensitive, the mnsoles flaccid, tbe complexion sallow, tho body languid, tbe mind listless, and the Are and energy which should characterize health have wholly or measurably 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, nnd his constitutional stamina and vitality impaired. What his case requires is immediate and judicious medical treat? ment. He need not, however, put himself to tho expense of consulting a physician. It is as clear as the sun in a cloudless sky that he is dyspeptic, and it is as certain as any demonstrated fact can bo that Hostetter's Stomach Bitters will euro dyspepsia and all the brood of bodily aud mental ills of which it is tho parent. Let bim com? mence a oonrse of tbe remedy at once, aud, following the directions faithfully, continue to take it until every disa? greeable symptom shall have disap? peared. If it be a cose of long stand? ing, the cure will not be sudden and immediate. Tho great tonio and cor? rective, potent as it is, does not work miracles; but surely, though gradu? ally, it will restore tbe sufferer to per? fect health. From day to day his eye3 will become brighter, his nerves firmer, bis muscles more olastiCi hia com? plexion fresher and clearer, bis spirits brisker. In duo time he will be once more in a fit condition to fight the battle of life vigorously and effectively, and will admit that, if dyspepsia is our national disease, we have in Hostet ter's Bitters a national speoifio equal to the emergenoy.
