COLUMBIA, S. C. Saturday .Morning,August 22,1874. Hoisted. After the tax-payers had made their authoritative exposure, at Washington, of the state of things which was pre? vailing in South Carolina, and had been snubbed by tho President and turned away by the Congressional committee, an unexpected reaction set in. It upset all tho labored Agares of the counter-memorial and sternly stig? matized as falso the declarations of the Whittemore aommittee, that the taxes of South Oaroliua were moderate and the evils which had been complained of were only imaginary. The extreme Bepublioau press, which had sneered at the tax-payers, now found that their complaints were true and the evils] from which they suffered not half told. Harper's Weekly and the Now York! Times read suitable lectures to the se* of Badioal leaders in this State, who carry the State Badioal party in their breeches pooket. The order went forth for roform. The Times thundered at them to throw "Moses and his orew overboard and to establish a Govern? ment not, based upon organized pil? lage." Condemning the Badioal lead? ers?the whole "crew" of public plunderers in a lump?and exposing many of their rascalities, it warned them that they must eaah clear his own skirts, and "in some other way thaafcby bringing oharges against their assooiateB." The meek aud submis? sive South Carolina Radicals, accord? ingly, commenced to reform after their fashion. The office-holders, the chro? nic aspirants, the whole host of old stagers, the deep-dyed [ political de bauohees, all took up and echoed the ory of reform. Not one of them seems to have understood that he was to begin with himself. It is, to-day, the ory under which office is sought for plunder's sake. Amongst those of tho better class in accomplishment and plausible manners upon whom the new doctrine took effect, was Mr. D. H. Chamberlain. He was roused from his usual placid equanimity to the extent of saying that "the leaders of the party had arrived at the conclusion that their political success depended upon their reformation." Following this faint line of reformation, Mr. Chamberlain, has arrived at the point whore he demands the office of Go? vernor, in order that he may achieve further "political success." But, alas for the expectations of mortal menl Just ub, more successfully than his rival, he bad secured an organ and got it in good order, and it had com* menoeil to grind out its tunes and to wake the echoes of the smaller subor? dinate organs, come untimely blasts from the New York Evening Post aud the New York Times. "It is notori? ous," says the former, "that Mr. Cham? berlain was a member of a corrupt State Government, with the other members of whioh he was on good terms, and the Republicans of South Carolina who are really for reform should refuse to support him." And the New York Times, in speaking of Governor Moses* Snmter speech, ad? mits that "he fixes upon Scott, Cham? berlain, Parker and Kimpton all that they have been accused of." It de? mands that "some better Republican candidate than has yet appeared" shall come "to the surface of Sou'h Caro? lina politics." And the New York Tribune finds some interest in Moses' financial statement, "as an exposure of the rascalities of certain members of his own party with whom be is not just now on friendly terms." Now, this is a sad case of most pro? mising, blooms being nipped in the bud. These New York journals hav? ing ordered and inspired a reforma? tion in South Carolina, coolly look in upon it, after it has been inaugurated, and as coolly say, "This is not the ar? ticle we ordered. This will never do. We said throw overboard the whole orew." We ourselves told these re? formers that it would not do, but a prophet is not without honor, save in his own country. They would not be? lieve us. They maintained that they were .the genuine thing. But now they learn, by orders from headquar? ters, that we were right and they were mistaken. And the lesson, if laid se? riously to heart, may serve a good end upon others as well as npon Gov. Moses and Mr. C. If these weird and withering words were duly pou dored by H?ge, Jlllaou, Purvis, L. O. Carpenter, Elliott, Whittemore, Jones, Leslie, Rowley, Wallace, June Mob ley and five hundred or a. thousand other eager aspirants for publio posi? tion in Sooth Carolina, members of "the orew," they would vamoose the ranoh. But, as we suppose this is a degree of correct understanding and of public virtue to which they are un? equal, they will have to learn other wise that they cannot bo considered sinoore und earnest reformers until they relinquish their aspirations and take themselves ont of the way. What Mr. Chamberlain aud the Union-Herald people will do about it, remains to bo seen. As men who have boon knocked sky-high or into a cocked hat, or out of whom the bottom has suddenly dropped, they have our sincere sympa? thy. Try, try again. Try a Democrat. ?< ? ? What Representative Coctiran Sayn, In an address to his constituents, Representative John R. Coohrun, of Anderson County, speaks some earnest words for reform. lie favors uuited and persistont action against all man? ner of misgoveroment and for the eradication of frand and peculation among the representatives of the peo? ple. Ho considers one of tho greatest sources of existing troubles to be the preponderating weight of the large Republican majorities in tho lower port of the State, finding expresBi'ou in the nomination and eleotion of unworthy men to the highest positions of honor and trust. Ho expresses great dissatis? faction with this result heretofore and gives fair warning against its repeti? tion. His language upon this point is highly significant, and his intimation that only a man must be put up for Governor upon whose record there is no stain and no suspicion of his "being connected with the past reckless uud extravagant management of the State finances," one which party managers and ushers of candidates had better heed in good time. He says: "If the Republican party, with its immense majority, through its nomi? nating convention, negleot or refuse to accord to us that consideration to which we are entitled, and fail to nominate a candidate for Governor upon whose record not even tho shadow of suspi? cion can fall, an boing conneoted with the past reckless aud extravagant ma? nagement of our finances, then it be? hooves the people of the upper Coun? ties to unite and elect a man whose oharaoter and record is unimpeacha? ble. I warn them not to foist upon us men utterly unfit for the position." A Pertinent Question. The Marion Star asks whether the people of Marlboro intend to lie su? pinely on their backs and allow the eleotion to go by default, when they are able to carry it. We Bhoold hope not. In Marlboro, there is good blood and high spirit. Tho Couuty has an honorable history. It ought to have good and true men to represent its large property and high charactor. It ought not to lag behind in forming Tax Unions and organizing resistance to plundering taxation and the coming bondage. Its meu should come to tho front without delay. By all means, they ought to send a substantial, oner getio and capable man to the Senate, in place of Maxwell, and put iu the House only buoh men us are worthy its name aud fame, and able as they are willing to serve it successfully. -? ? The Fourth District.?The Fourth Congressional District, consisting of Greenville, Spartanburg, York, Lan? caster, Union, Kershaw, Cbestor and Fatrfield, has a majority of Hi t white votes. It ought by all means to elect an able man to ropreseut it and vindi? cate the State at Washington. It is too responsible a positiou to bo ne? glected and abandoned to whoever may press forward to seize it. The name of Gen. Kershaw has boon sug? gested, and a bettor man could not bo found. But in all probability ho will be wanted for a more important duty. Our frieuds in that District ought to give this matter prompt attention. ?-???* Carolina Militauy Institute.?The official registor for 1873-71, with cir? cular for 1874-75, of tho Carolina Military Institute, Charlotte, N. C, Col. J. P. Thomas, Superintendent, has been issued in handsome form. The students in attendance at the lost session numbered 102, of whom South Carolina furnished 48, Georgia, Florida aud Cuba, eaoh, 2, Virginia 3, aud North Oaroliaa 45, Tho course of in? struction is thorough and liberal, und embraces many new aud progressive features. The aoademio session opens on the 1st of Ootobor. < # ? ?? Gov. Ames, of Mississippi, takes things coolly. At tho height of the ex? citement which the siege bf Austin by a horde of ruffians occasioned, aud whioh extended from one end of the republio to the other, his Excellency hied him to New Orleans on a pleasure excursion, aud confided to some enter? prising reporter the cheorful intelli? gence that tho orops were promhing, and that all was well in Mississippi. However, it ie not to be wondered at that these sneaking creatures that rule the Southern satrapies are indifferent to the lives of the hapless people com? mitted to their oharge. Mb. Editor: Allow me, iu behalf of the oppressed tax-payers of Abbeville, to thank yon for the timely reference to the uupardonable state of indiffer enoe in our County. In regard to the position of our presses, allow me to inform you that tho Press and Banner is the official organ, and its nerves are much relaxed under the consequent stimulus. As to tho Medium, you can't spot it; sometimes it's crazy on the subject of rattle-snakes; thou it goes into ecstacies on the subject of butterflies aud bumble bee cottou; again, it's advertising for the largest water-melon, or is astounded at some? body who bus a lengthy moustache und is good-looking.

You will bear from us ugain. 11. Mr. Editor: Iu tho Union-Herald, of this morning, appears an article ex? tracted from a Petersburg paper, in regard to a lost trunk by Guv. Moses, when on his wedding tour North. He made no Northern tour with bis wife until sumo eight or uioe months after his marriage, and the story, ho fur as it refers to the F. J. Moses, Jr., now Governor of the State, is a base fabri? cation. Z. August 21, 1874. According to a Buyouuo paper, au American skipper, Cupt. Johu Jeffer? son, of tho London, played a trick in the Bay of Biscay, the other day, which will cause irritation both ut Ber? lin and Madrid. He appeurs to have sent a telegram from Bilboa to the Spanish Government, to the effect that tho United States had ordered ucruiser to see that no American ships lauded arms for the Carlists. Murshal Ser? rano immediately wrote a letter of I thanks to the Minister of tho sister' republio, who replied that he kuuw nothing of the cruiser iu question; however, before the matter had boou inquired into, Capt. Jefferson had ac? complished his nefarious purpose, aud while playiug the part of the United States vessel-of-war alluded to iu tho telegram, ho had, under tho nosu of the Spanish fleet, landed twenty seven guns, &s., for the Carlists. After this, tho London quietly loft the port of Iieruiu aud vanished iu the horizon. A Held of His Own.?A Granger dreamed that ho died. He went straight to the spirit world. Ue knocked at the gate of tho New Jeru? salem, und it was opened uuto him. The books were opened; ho was usked. "Did you ever belong to any Beeret so? ciety?" To whioh he replied, "I did ? to tho Grangers." "Then, sir, you can't bo admitted; depart!** He* then weut to tho door of ?ttie.'bottorn less pit, where the same questions were again asked him by the devil, and again he was told to depart. After ho had goue u little way off, ho was ac? costed by the homely ruler of the pit, when the following propositions were made: "Stranger," said Nick, "I will not admit you here?they dou'l waut you in Heaven; but I will soli you 2U? barrels of brimstono for cash, ton per cent, off, aud you oau start a little hell of your own, with no agents or inid dle-nien." Railways and Locusts.?Somo idea of tho amazing number of tho locusts out West is formed by tho fact that on the Hue of the St. Joseph and Denver Railroad, between Aztall and Beuttie, they covered tho track two inches deep; and, although the engineers put on u powerful head of steam and tried to drive through them, the train was nine hours going eleven miles. On tho same road, a train pulled out of ] Seneca on time, but, encountering the locusts, was driveu back, and had to wait until the myriads of insects had crossed the line. As this was in Kan? sas, the grain crops there are threat? ened as well as in Minnesota and Iowa. Of the extent of tho ravages, no pre? sent conjecture can bo formed; but iu tho regions oooupied by homestead settlers, the suffering is severe. Family Complications.?A Virginia paper propounds the following: "Two brothers marry two sisters, who uro I cousins of the brothers. Tho older brother has sovoral ohildreu by his wife, aud sho dies. Ho thou marries a younger sister of his first wife, and hus several children by her. He and tho wife of his brother die. A fow yours thereafter, tho younger brother marries the widow of tho older brother, and has by nur two children. What is the relationship? Wo get tho above from Dr. Eller, of our County, who knows tho parties, and will be obliged if any one will solve tho complex gcue aology." A company at Bahway, N. J., turns out about a ton of suet butter daily. Greenbacks and .Gold ?The great fact should be tnude prucuiuent that the United States, strong euough financially to borrow hundreds of mil? lions at five pur cent., has actually promissory notes lloatiug about and quoted at 91% cents in the 100. The Boston Journal of Commerce well siiys that we can puy them or bring them to pur if wo choose; and tho first step to wipe out an evil is resolutely to look it in tho face und acknowledge its existence. Hence the masses who can o >ioplaceutly see gold quoted at lOOJ.j, would, :"f the press powerfully presented tu them the fact that the greenback dollar was worth uuly 01;% cents iu tbo 100, du maud of their representatives that it be made good for 100 cents. And thin very folding, says the Journal would appreciate, tins ourreucy to near* ly -par in gold. Capitalists would hasten !o invest by purchasing al a discount money that would soon be at par, uud thus the desired end would ho speedily accomplished. To carry out its views, our Boatou coulornpora y gives uotico that henceforth gold will not ho quoted in the boston Journal if Commerce, but the greenback will be et the ruling rate of disuouut. A COUNTER IRRITANT FOR tiii3 neuro Malady.?If tho negroes were equally distributed over tho Uuited States, if tho North had a pro rata share with tho South, tho question could bo easier managed. But unfortunately the sec? tion having no negroes is possessed with u mauia for legislating fur the section that has them, and everlasting discord and turmoil is the conse? quence. I have little hope that the ?'uegro question" will over be settled. It will pop up its black h"iid iu one shape or uuother, u verila'ilo uppln of discord. Th<! only thing that wii< di? vert our attention is t > "nave live er ten millions of Chinese dropped iu among us, and then we. will have a "Chinese question" ou the boards lor variety. Wo already have a sprinkling of them on tho I'.icilij slope, uud why should they not vote and hold office? There can he uo reason given that does not apply to tho tnuHs of the negroes, ex? cept that our brother of the chop? sticks uud ptg-t-til might not vote the Republican ticket with healthy regu? larity. [liedjfcld, in Cincinnati Commercial, United States District Court ?A very interesting question in bank? ruptcy is beiug argued before tho Dis? trict Court. It involves the validity of records which wero not stamped at the time required by the revenue laws. The questiou urines on the proffer of proof of judgment, the writ of which was uustamped. J. P. Hart. Esq., is for tho judgment, and J. S. It. Thom? son, Esq., contra. The couvictiou of Bishop concludes the Governmeut busi? ness in the United States Court, and I buukraplcy cases will now bo heard for somo days. We learn there uro quite a number, mostly involving the home? stead; but wo presume tho dcoisiou of the District Court will be appealed from iu either event. [Greenville News, 21s/. Ku KliUX Cons*.? Mr. Johu Elkin, of Alston, on tho Greenville und Co? lumbia Railroad, can boast of the most remarkable species of coru ever heard of.

[Charleston News and Courier, 21s/. Tho Cincinnati papers think it won? derful that a man in thut city, for a wager of $20, jumped from a height of 103 feet iuto the river, and seemed sur? prised that the concuRHion didn't kill him. In tho island of Hawaii, at the lower fulls of the Kiluau, near the port of Hilo, native boys can bo got to leap from a oliff, 110 foot, iuto tho ri 'or, for tho small pay of twenty-five oems, and we have never hoard of the dot. th or injury of any of them by such .caps.

Tho Nuw York Journal of Commerce has said, "The South Carolina (jo verumoat is^thu worst iu tho world." That is true. Aud such a government ought uot to hu tolerated any longer by a civilized poople.

At a distance of thirty miles South of tho Umou Pacific Railroad aud U0U miles West of Omaha, a great hill of almost pure sulphur was discovered about two yours ugo. This is one of the most remarkable deposits of native sulphur iu tho World. it contains only fifteen per ceut. of impurities.

A man bought a horse. It was the first one he over owned.
