The niranlcj ?nd Coat of Raoe Iuue
to tne Black People.
The Union-Herald is exerting all its
powers of ecissors and pen to arouse
the feeling of raoe in the breasts of
the colored people of this country.
The same cue is followed in other
parts cf tfcs State. Wallace, in the
upper country, and Patterson, on the
ooaat, uppeaUo. tb^rftpe..jrejajlioe??
tho ono pointing his,,bony finger to
the virtues whioh reside in the "carl
ridge-box," the other frantically warn
i ng them "to be on their guard and
be ready." The same thing oropa out
in ether quarters, and the lesser lights
and subordinate rascals eoho vtUe ory
of violenoe, and teaoh the negroes
what power there is in Laoifer matches
and the charm? of mnrdering men, wo
mdu and children indiscriminately.
The journal alluded to spreads before
its readers, every morning, the rakings
of this vile and violent stuff, whioh ap?
pear in ill informed distant Radical
newspapers, the reproduction, with
additions and odious comments, of the
suborned Southern Radical proas. This
press ia mainly supported by carpet?
bag governments, out of the earnings
of the honest people. Thus tho peo?
ple are rosily paying fur this preoione
hash of horrors, whioh is served up
every morning, out of their own
pookets. We are told, foorsoth, that
the "struggle between the .Republican
and Demoorutio parties in the South ib
one essentially between the two races."
It is no suoh thing, and least of all in
this State. It may oome, however, if
those who have an immediate and self?
ish interest in having it take this
shape continue to court it so assidu?
ously. It may even roach Sooth Caro?
lina. Let the uegro oonsider what he
would gain by it. If be could see an
inoh beyond his nose, he would see
his doom in it. We turn away with
shuddering from the consequences of
ouch a contest. In this State, of course,
he is numerically in the ascendant; but
euppoae such a struggle inaugurated,
how long does he think he could hold
the ascendancy? Grant, for argu?
ment's sake, that he might be success?
ful. What gosd would his success do
him, if he maintained it? He would
be cheated out of its practical fruits?
yes, cheated to* death?by his Radical
advisers. He is asked , now to engage
in this foolish strife by Patterson,
Wallace and tho Union-Herald. Does he
know for what? The objects are to
secure a new lease of power to the
"rotten Republican structure," mis?
called Republican party, in this State.
Wallace loves to stay in Congress and
enjoy salary grabs. Patterson wants
to sharpen the Blue Ridge axe, put
money in his pockets land rule the
8'ate as a dependenoy of a Pennsylva?
nia ring. He and the Union-Herald
champion Chamberlain for Governor?
the man who, while law officer of the
State, was at the samo time the lead?
ing member of the Board which on
ihorized the issue of the fraudulent
bonds. Ho. is, the attorney of the
bond holders and the very man to posh
their claims. Are- these the objects
whioh the colored people wish to sub?
serve? They are explicitly the objects
which those who would lead them by
the nose intend they shall further and
subserve. This is the Dead Sea fruit
which they are to gain by listening to
delusive harangaes and sophistical
editorials about the rights of their
race. There is, no each question.
Your rights are secure; no one chal?
lenges them or wonld attack them.
The real question you should consider,
tho supreme effort yon should make,
is for decent, honest, respectable go?
vernment. This you oan never get,
while yon follow these old political
bucks and practiced manipulators of
your votes. They will ride the race
issue (if you play into their hand*)
into office, into emoluments and steal?
ings again. Thoy will fasten them?
selves onoe more upon the vitals of the
State and seize the burd earnings of
its people as they are dropped into the
Treasury. . These they will take to the
fraudulent bond-holders and have a
"divide." They will revel in the power
whioh you havo given them, and, onoe
in, your race may go to the devil for
all they care, or back into the toil and
sweat and oare which will produce
another crop whioh they may again
steal, and so on ad it\finitum. That's
what race issue in South Carolina
means. There's a fraudulent raoe iasne
as well as a fraudulent bond issue.
One is to be used to resnioitate and
collect the other. Do you like the
sobeme, colored people? Will you
permit your color, after all that's been
done to rnb it out, to enslave you to
the masters of a bond-holders' ring?

Hurrah for Sam. Leet He was the
roan who introduced and carried in
the Mora! Convention, in spite of tbe
knook-aowu arguments of the portly
offlou-bolding Ourdozo, resolutions
whiob expressed urjiilteralla opposi?
tion (o "any member of the present or
preceding Statu Administration being
elected Governor of tho State;" which
said that it is "utterly useless to expeot
a tru-i reform from thoRo who huve
been recognized as leaders in tbe
past." That is tho only manly Repub?
lican voioe wbioh has been beard fur
reform yet. There is moro in those
sentences than in a cart load of Union
Heralds or Moses aud Chamberlain
speeohes and addresses. We uro
pleased to see that Leo keeps bis
beaver np and holds his bmuor aloft.
He bas procured the passage of a set oT
excellent resolutions in the township
of Sumter, (the publication of wbioh,
by-the-way, was deolined by the
Union-Herald.) They go to the root of
the matter. Here is a standard borne
by one of their raoe, to whiob tbe co?
lored people may rally, and hero is the
resolution whiob may yet be tbe death
of both Chamberlain and Moses aud
tho whole State House ring of office?
holders:
"Resolved, That we are positively
opposed, as a part of tbe Republican
party of this State, to the nominatiou
for Governor of this State, either of
tbe following persons, who have been
spoken of as candidates before tbe Re?
publican State Convention, viz: Frank?
lin J. Moses, Jr., Daniel H. Chamber?
lain, Robert K. Scott, J. L. Neagle, or
any other of those known to be mem?
bers of the 'State House ring;' and
that we do hereby instruot tbe dele?
gates from this meeting to oust their
votes in tho County Convention only
for those who are openly opposed te
tbe above named persons, and who
will pledge themselves to use their
votes and mfluenoe ta defeat the nomi?
nation of either of said person?, from
first to last."
Pat Oat of Sight.
The Union-Herald, in its selections
from the Northern press, made in
order to show what it thinks of South
Carolina, ib careful to walk round aud
keep at a retpeotable distance from
tbe columns of the New York Times.
For awbile, tbe Times was its
Boanerges. But now it lets the thuu
derer severely alone. It bas struck
Obamberlain bald, iu sayiug in one
isBno, that "some better Republican
candidate than has yet appeared must
oome to the surface of South Carolina
politics." Iu another, it calls for "a
candidate who3e election honest Con?
servatives and honest Republicans oau
unite on." This is heavy, heavy in?
deed. It is not good for the whole?
some of the U.-H. Imagiuo the clique
who muke up its company poudcriug
in conclave over these dauiagiug de?
mands, aud concluding us the best
they can do under tho circumstances,
not to let them see tho light in the
oolnmns of the virtuous aud blessed
Chamberlain organ.

Of City Treasurer, showing indebt

as information and ordered published:
Office City Tkeasobbr.
Columbia, 8. O, Aup. 24, 1874.
To the Honorable Mayor and Alder?
men City of Columbia?Gentlemen: I
have the honor to present herewith a
statement of the indebtedness of thu
city of Columbia, on the 1st of Au?
gust, 1874.
The fuots whioh I now present for
your consideration have been ascer?
tained by a careful und laborious in?
vestigation of nearly two months. In
order to arrive at the interest due and
unpaid upon the oity debt, I was com?
pelled to paste, in the bond books pre?
pared for that purpose, the coupons
redeemed during the past two . "urs,
and to compute upon each boud the
amount of interest due uud uupaid
from the date of the latest matured
ooupon pasted in tho book to the 1st
of July, 1874 Without inteuding to
reflect upon any particular individual,
it seems to me that the books of this
office have been kept with a view to
conceal, rather than to exhibit, the
true condition of the city. The en?
tire financial transactions of the city
for several years have been kept in n
siugle book, called, for short, a cash
book, and a convenient system of oross
entries enabled tbo book-keeper to
,-ibow a proper balance ut the close of
each month.
Ou the the 1st of August, 1874. tho
following hoods were outstauding:
G per cent, bonds.$167,900
7 per cent, bonds. 390,700
Total.?553,000
Prior to the fiscal year 1873, no spe?
cific tux was levied to pay interest
upon the oity debt. In 1873, there
was levied for that' purpose, upon the
taxable property of the city, u tnx of
eight mills, und in 1874 a tax of seven
mills; total, fifteen ruilU. There was
realized from said levies of fifteen
mills, from January. 1873. to tbo 1st
of August, 1874, 300,556.34 The
amount of coupons redeemed during
said period was ?44,450.75. From
which it appears that the eum of
$16,105.59 was diverted from the spe?
cial interest fund to pay current ex?
penses.
The annual interest on the city
bonds amounts to $37,423, or $74,846
for the years 1873 and 1874. Now, the
interest tax for said yearn realized only
$6J,556 34; so that, if the entire pro?
ceeds thereof bad boon properly ap?
plied to tbo redemption oi the cou?
pons, und if there bad been no past
due coupons outstanding January 1,
1873, said levies would still be insuffi?
cient to pay tho actual interest by
S14.289.6G. Ou tho contrary, how?
ever, there was a largo amount of ma?
tured coupons unpaid January 1, 1873,
and 616,105.59 of special interest tux
was misapplied; so thut there is now
outstanding past due coupons to the
amount of $53,281.50.
The entire debt of the city, as fur as
I havo been able to ascertain, is us fol?
lows:
JJonds.$553,600 00
Interest ou above, due und
unpaid. 53.2S1 50

Bills ordored for payment
und salaries and wages,

I have tho honor to bo, very re?
spectfully, Sec,

An individual, signing himself Wm.

time he appealed to the better feelings
of the undersigned, and succeeded, as
the following copy of uu unpaid note
will show:
"Oeu W. B. Nash will you please to

Saturday if I livo. Give a noto so that
I can get it iu goods. . Remain,

mise looked a white lamb, but proved
only to bo u black sheop.
"A flush of shame" aud *'u fouling

The Southbbn Fiuhout Lines.?A
lively competition baa been carried on
between tbe Southern railroad and
steam water lines for freight from Bal?
timore destined for points at tbe
South. On the 12th of Hay, 1873, a
oom pact was entered into, ander which
a uniform tariff of rates was agreed
upon by all the oompauies. Tbe pre?
sent summer, however, the compact
was broken by some of the lines, and
an opeu war was waged in consequenoe,
freights being oairied by all the lines
ut very low figures. On the 21st of
lust July, u convention, composed of
representatives of all the lines inte?
rested, was held at Augusta, Ga., to
settle tbe trouble, when it was deter?
mined that the agent of any line sign?
ing tbe compact who is guilty of "out- -
tiug under" the rateB, eball be dis?
charged, and none of the other lineB
will employ him. The schedule of
May 12, was again adopted, with a
