COLUMBIA, S. C. Sunday Morning. Aogort 23,1874. Set Yonr Hooie In Oniir Nat to Die, bat to Live. The New York Herald, of a rooent date, contains a letter from Columbia, which gives a tolerably fair view of the political situation in the State, and a significant forecast of rapidly ap? proaching events. There are many errors of statement, the same old ste? reotyped, misconceptions and misrep? resentations, whioh have been often corrected or refated, but whioh regu? larly re-appear in publication. They are stock in trade, and oannot be dis? pensed with. The writer, while trac? ing important consequences to its ao eat with entire fair . nesB the Tax-Payers' Convention. He speaks favorably of the Grange and Tax Unions, as embodiments of the manhood and determination, as well as of the substantial interests, of the country, seeming to object, at the same time, to the ezolaBion, as he as? sumes to say, of colored men from them. We know that a considerable number of oolored men have joined the Tax Unions, and they certainly include many Bopublioaus in their membership. Office-holders and tax grabbers avoid them, of course, as they wonld death. The Grange is a strictly non-political body, and its dis? tinguishing outward feature is its so? cial gatherings. The reason why co? lored men do not rush forward to join it, is thus obvious enough. The writer is grievously in error when he says that the canvass for Governor in 1872, when Tomlinson was put up by the bolters against the regular nomination of Moses by the nominating conven? tion, "disclosed the depth of the op? position of the old-time Democracy to anything that bears the impress of Republicanism." Tomlinson was rep? resented by some Republicans at that time to be only a shade better than Moses, and was utterly obscure and unknown. He was ohampioued by Gorbin and Sawyer mainly, in whom nobody had any confidence, It was proclaimed in the bolters' Court House Convention aud in several placeB throughout the State, that they did not want and would not accept support from the Democrats. They threat? ened, if it was tendered, to go back to Mose?. The fact is, they were afraid to identify themselves with any organi? zation that meant earnest opposition to the Radicalism which was ruining the country. But, notwithstanding the impediments thus thrown in their way, many Democrats did vote for and sus? tain Tomlinson. This journal advo? cated his claims as warmly as the oir onmstanoes would allow, as a ohoioe of evils. The correspondent surely must have forgotten the earnest support given, even two years previous to the time of whioh he trtfets, to Carpenter for Governor. It was an effort barren of practical results, but it stands in onr recent history to show the concili? atory spirit of our people, thoir wil lingnsss to take what looked like de? cent "Republicanism," if only it brought them honest govornmeut and real peace. Another error this cor? respondent seeks to propagate is in re? peating the Radical stuff, that there is an under-current of effort on the part of the Democracy to secure the re nomination of Moses. So blind are these men thut they oannot see that "the Democracy" consider their work as regards Moses about finished. They hare exposed him in every conoeivublo way, through the length aud breadth of this whole oouutry, not as a per? sonal matter, but because he is or was the representative and embodiment of the spirit, conduct and purposes of his miserable party. It is that party thoy are mining to kill and get out of the way, in order that thoy may secure better government instead of the one it gives, and restore oace more to tho administration of affdirs honesty aud fair dealing, and secure to the people the fruits of their industry and the advantages of an improved and bet? tered condition. They, naturally, keep in view, in order to contemn and over? throw him, the man who personifies the abuses from whioh they suffer. As they are engaged in striking down Moses, the attempt is adroitly made to foist Chamberlain in his pluco. Thoy are thus compelled to divido their at? tentions. They protest us earnestly against one of these men as the other. They will the more earnestly do this, in the degree that either shall more fully oolleot and oeutre in himself the malignant designs and venom of his party. The writer is more correct, where he says that he oauuot find aoy sincerity on the part of the mujority in the cry of reform whioh is heard over the State. Their actions in selecting candidates and their conduot in mass maoiioga..tell the contrary. He is, no doubt, sagaoiouB, too, in saying that fr?m the plainest Indication-, it 1; od?; ? question of tiuVO when tho Conserva tiyea will again^assame control of the Oovernment. Their organizations, ex? tending throughout the entire State, form a power whioh, aided involunta? rily by honest party workers on the other side in the cause of reform, will shake the rotten Republican structure to its very foundation, and, perhaps, annihilate it. This is the best part of the correspondent's letter. He is a Radical, in full fellowship hitherto with the party hero. He is no stranger, merely traveling throngh und glancing at things. He knows whereof he speaks. He doos cot pnrtioipato in the cant about reform, although, wo suppose, as a party man, he favors Mr. Chamberlain's election. Will our peo? ple boo and prepare for what this Radi? cal writer seeB? Lot tho Tax Unions, &o., be everywhere formed aud tho people organize. The end approaches. Get ready. Circumstances Alter Gates. In his address to the pnblic, Mr. Chamberlain affirms that the Financiul lionrd was warranted, by good aud sufficient evidence, in the appointment of Mr. Kimptou as Financial Agent. He expresses his belief that tbe action of the other members of the Financial Board, and as individual Stato officers, in connection with the bonds of tho State, was dictated by honost motives. He claims that the purchase of bonds by the Sinking Fund Board was mudo in good faith. Clearly none of these parties were to blame for what Mr. Chamberlain calls in another plaoe "the great disgrace of the Republican party." Although bribery and corrup? tion became the order of the day in the Legislature, Mr. C. says elsewhere, "the rank and file of the party wore so inexperienced that they did not under? stand or proporly estimate the evils whioh were certain to follow tLo bad government and corruption." Of course, they were not to blame. Mean? while, in three years, the bonded debt was increased abont $12,000,000. And yet nobody was to blame. Bot in 1871, when these things were going on, in a letter to Colonel W.L. Trou holm, Mr. C. used these words: "Inoompetenoy, dishonesty, corrup? tion in all its forms, have advanced 'their miscreated fronts,' have put to flight the small party that opposed them, and now rule the party whioh rules the State. * * * My eyes see it?all my senses testify to the startling and sad fact." Whst'i tlie Matter with Murlboiol It is a noteworthy fact, that all the Counties in the State hot one have organized Tax Unions, and that they are active fn their operations and every day gaining popular strength. Tbe one exception is Marlboro. The strange, unaccountable faot is attract? ing some attention. Is the influence of Maxwell so overwhelming there as to crush the free expression of the opinions of the people? Are manly men to submit their judgments to the domination of an imbecile? Do they mako no objections to being repre? sented by the loser of tho "lost resolu? tion?" Is there no press there, with its fearless voice? We cannot believe it. This noble County will arouse itself, cotuo into liuo nud place itself in sympathy with tho rest of the Stale. Organise. It is stated in tho Now York Herald, that Marlboro is tho ouly County, out of tho thirty-two Counties in this Stato, which has not enrolled its Conservative tax-puyers. Tho Unions ato iu active working order nearly everywhero in the Stato. Abbeville, which lagged behind a little, wo are pleased to learn from correspondents, will now pull up with a rush. So, we hope, will dear old houored Marlboro. We have big business on hand. The time for firm aud determined action draws nigh. We want tho bust representation that can bo got in tho Legislature, and we want tho poople everywhere to bo united against oppressive tuxes and oorrapt govornmuut. The immediate duty everywhere 13 to organize. Tho Anderson (Janette comes out in pretty plain laoguagu against the elec? tion of a carpet-bagger to the office of Governor. It says, what wo regard as one of the best signs, that novor before have the people takon suoh a degree of interest in County oud Stato affairs ns now. -??-???? It is advisable that tho subordinate and County Tax Unions should com? plete their orgumzutiou by tho first or second Monday in September. No time has been fixed for tho meeting of the Stato Tax Union, but it may be called into early council.

Thirty Years in a Printing Oppioe..-Thirty years ago, to morrow, August 21, the proprietor of tbe Phosnix made his debut in a printing office?tbe South Carolinian, owned and edited by Col. Atten H. Pemberton. It was tbe first strictly political paper regnlurly issued in Columbia, and bad been published about twelve years. The publication office was on the South-west corner of Richardson and Taylor streets, tbe sito of the present building occupied by John C. Dial, E-q. By-tho way, this is uu uufortuuuto locution, :u fur as tires uio concerned?tbesp it having been swept in 1811, 'G5 uud 'CS The South Carolinian was then published weekly, except during the Session of tho Legislature, when it. appeared twico a weck, und among the other duties of un apprentice, was delivering the papers to subscribers. In the spriug of '15, Col. A. G. Summer, of Nowberry, purchased tho office, und after a short time associated with him B. It. Carroll, E?] , of Charleston. In 1818, Mr. Carroll retired, uud Col. Summer was again alone. Iu 1810, Mr. A. T. Cavi8, of Washington City, bocumo a copartner. Iu 1850, Col. Summer retired, disposing of his inte? rest to Wm. B. Johnatou, Esq., of Camden. Iu 1851, the oflicu was re? moved to a building ou Stanley's alley, a short distance from Richard sun street, where was also issued Whiltakw's Magazine. The firm of Cavis &, Johnstou did not prosper, und iu 1852, Sheriir Starke stepped iu und sold out tho eutire establishment (in? cluding the apprentices) to Dr. Wm. Reyoolds, Col. John Euglisb, Mr. Wm. Glaz i und others. Very shortly afterwards, Dr. Robert W. Gibbes became the purchaser of tho paper aud removed the material to his building on Washington street, uear Richard - son. The name South Carolinian was still retained?the Slate Rights Repub? lican beiug merged in it. After the retiremeut of Mr. Johnstou, in 1S5C, Dr. Gibbos filled tho chair editorial for several years and then secured the services of Franklin Gatllard, Esq., of Fairfield, who wielded the editorial pen nutil the spring of 1861, when he laid down the pen and took up the sword. During the three years follow? ing, several gentlemen of ability con? tributed to tbe editorial columns. In January, 1861, the South Carolinian | passed into the possession of F. G. DeFontaine & Co.?Juliau A. Sclby and Henry Tim rod beiug copartners. In February, 1865, the greater part of the material was shipped to a plaoe of safety, and on the night of the 17th of February, the building and contents were destroyed. The publication of the South Carolinian was again resumed in 1866, but Marshal EppiDg silenced it and the material was Bold and scat? tered. The Pucenix mado its appear? ance, March 21, 1865, and the pen of William Gilmoro Sims, Esq., directed its course; followed by Messrs. W. B. Johnston, Frauk Elmore, J. P. Tho? mas, W. H. McCuw and C.

We paid a visit, yesterduy, to the brick? yard now being workud by Messrs. Taylor & Johnsou?Alderman Joseph Taylor and Heory B. Johnson, chief clerk iu Secretary of Slate Huyne's tifliuc. The yard is known as Green's ? having bceu worked for years before i ho war by tho Messrs. Greco, aud tho clay (which is highly impregnated with ioiuglas.-) is considered the very best iu this viciuiiy. The greater por? tion of the brick for the new State Capitol wub furnished from this yard, it is located ubout two miles below Columbia, ou the banks of the canal. The truct of iuud embraces about 500 ucr?/s, uud rents for $2,300 u year. As brick-miikiug has to bo suspended from October until April, there is nc cessurily a rush du ting tbe few work? ing mouths. There are ut.out (seventy colored hands employed?men aud boys. The proprietors now have con truct.s for 3.400,000 bricks?2,000,000 fur the new theatre und other build? ings iu Charleston. There are fire hoppers ou the premises, four of which urc kept going mud-mixing; each re? quires six bauds?two men and four boys, besides tho mixers. They com? mence work about 8 o'clock aud finish their tusk?0,000 brick?by 1 o'clock. As it is very warm aud ut the name timo dirty work, surplus clothiug is dispensed with. In filling the kilns, tho meu with wheelbarrows deliver from seventy to 100 green bricks at a turn, weighing about six pounds. A kiln holds 250,000 brick, requires six days and five nights to burn, and con? sumes about 150 cords of wood. There are usually about 100,000 green briok ou the premises. At present, they are delivering 5,000 briok a day to tbe United States Post Office and 25,000 to Charleston. The Wilmington, Co? lumbia and Augusta Railroad baa built a torn-out within half a mile of the yard, and not only delivers the ne? cessary wood, but transports brick to Charleston and other points. Four four-horse and tbreo two-horse teams do the necessary hauling?1,000 bricks hauled by the one and 500 by the other at a load. The proprietors contem? plate building a wooden tramway from the yard to tho railroad, at a cost of about 81,000, whioh will materially re? duce the oxponso of transportation. They propose to parties contemplating the erection of factories in the vicinity of the city to furnish tho necessary brick and take one-third or perhaps one-hulf the pay in stock. The senior of the concern?Alderman Taylor? superintends the yard, assisted by Henry Wallace. Everything is carried on systematically. Remuious Services To-Day. ? Prcs bytorian Church -Rov. W. II.

Nervous Complications.?Chronic indigestion, or dyspepsia, sometimes produces serious disturbances of the uervous system; but sometimes the nerves are iu the first place disordered, und are the cause of chrouio indiges tiou. Iu whichever of these two ways the disease may have been developed, it requires for its cure a medicine which combines the properties of a nerve tonic uud nn alterative, and those essentiul qualities aro most hap? pily uuited iu tho foremost remedy of tho preseut nge, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. To suppose that aoy con? siderable number of oar people are un ucqmiiuted with the virtues of this famous vegetable stomachic and in vigoruut would be nn insult to Ameri? can intelligence. Year after year, for half a generation, the history of its successes as a preventive of, and reme? dy for, all disorders of the stomach, liver aud bowels, and us a specific for malarious fevers, nervous complaints und general debility, Iiuf been written by those whose health it has preserved or re-established, authenticated by their signatures, and published in the leading newspapers of the country. The unquestionable proofs of its su? periority over every other preparation of its class, have, during that time, been constantly accumulating, and have formed au important part of the current medical literature of America. Statesmen, philosophers, poets, di? vines, judges, lawyers, actors, novel? ists?iu short, men and women who have distinguished themselves in ail honorable walks of*life, and whose names are house-hold words wherevei the English tongue is spoken, have voluntarily come forward aud endorsed this great remedy. These statements, founded on personal experience, have naturally had great weight with the community, and hence it is that Hos letter's Stomach Bitters sew stands at the bead of the proprietary medioines manufactured on this side of the At? lantic, as regards the amount of its sales and its reputation as a restora? tive.
