COLUMBIA, S. C. Friday Morning, August 28, 1874. How to Rain av city. Before the oitj government was transferred to the hands of the Radi? cals, there was a bonded debt of $350.001). . Thero. waa-aiao a floating, debt, but not too largo to bo paid off by the CffftrloUe railroad stock arid' gas sVibrmfro^aeirSfX^ltyT^n those dkye, a tax of 'one per cent: "Us levied Ott roftl> estate,' estimated ut $3,500,000, ?Qii a moderate sum was also received into the city Treasury from licenses. No tax was levied on personal property at all. The two souscse of income to the oity realized about $55,000, $35,000 being from the tax on real estate and $20,000 from licenses. We have now leviod a tax of iy2 oenta on real estate and per eonal property, realizing from the former $52,500, and from the latter, assessed at $2,150,000, $32,250, and a license tax which brings in abont $30,000, aggregating $114.750, and ehowing an inorease of annual receipts into the city Treasury of $60,000 under Kidical rule over what was previously collected. Notwithstanding this liberal and abundant income, the oity govern? ment is in a state of perpetual embat rassment. At the very time tha taxes were paid in, and when we would have supposed the Treasury should be over? flowing, the Council borrowed, or was trying to borrow, money at 1)? per cent, a month, and they have been compelled to part with several of the males and horses belonging to the oity, and necessary to do the street work and keep them in a clean and healthy condition. In running over the proceedings of the last meeting of Oonnoil, we observe several olaims re? ported back without recommendation, or postponed f jr future consideration, and others ordered to bo paid by oity notes, receivable for taxes. A resolu? tion was. in trod ii cid by Alderman Purv's, to empower the Committee of Ways ?cd Means to borrow $7,000 to pay off oity employees. This was ordered for future consideration, but by another motion, the committee was empowered to make arrangements, (to borrow money, we suppose,) to pay off the city employees and feed the oity mules. Tbe poor old oity is suffering from a prolonged and sharp attack of impeooniosity. With a fine inoome, it lives from hand to mouth. Now, what becomes of the money? Tbe Oity Treasurer reports the debt of the city, as far as he 7ias been able to ascertain, to bo from: Bonds, $558, 600; interest on above, due and un? paid, 53,281.50; bills payable, 66, 128 36; bills ordered for payment and salaries and wages, (estimated,) 9,805.27; water contract, 15,298; total, 703,113.13. Or an addition of over 8353,000 to it in four years, or nearly $90,000 a year. Add this aunual debt thus contracted to the iooome from taxes aud licenses, and we'get $203,000 as the sum of annual expenditure?a sum quite enffiaient to run tbe State Government, if oonduoted on a basis of economy corresponding to its dege? nerated and scanty means. When tbe Radical Legislature, in March, 1872, Authorized the Mayor and Aldermen of Columbia to borrow money, it went to the extreme limit of extravagance, in allowing them to issue bonds to the amount of $600,000. They authorized tbem to borrow money in tbe terms of the Act, "by issuing oity bonds, from time to time, to an amount wbioh, to? gether with the outstanding indebtedness of the oity of Columbia, shall not ex? ceed the sum of $600,000, it being thereby intended that the whole indebt? edness thereof, whether by bonds or otherwise, shall at no time be increased beyoud tbe said Bum of $600,000." What will the City Oonnoil do about the excess over the amount wbioh tbey were empowered to contract? What will the sapient Legislature do about it? The Radical Oouncil has bank? rupted tbe oity, und driven away busi? ness from it by its taxation, its extra? vagance, its enoouragemeut of pauper? ism, its want of common sense and common honesty. A big pile of money has been stolen. There is nothing to show for it. There is an unfinished City Hall, which, when completed, is to be leased to the Carolina National wank for twenty years. There is a ruinous contract for water, which, at an entirely useless addition of $10,000 a year above what is necessary to give an abundance of puro water, is also to last for twenty years. Twenty years is two-thirds of a generation of hu? man life. We are robbed of both tbe present and future. Not content with oppressing one generation, they have projected their burdens of tax on tbe next. We have often grieved over tbe decay and deollne of business here.

After tbe labors of the day, Wedues day, were over in manipulating the Minort convention, the louding Radi? cal officials sought their couches of rest. Amongst Others, tho celebrated Ku Klux bunter, better known us Bine Ridge Sorip Patterson, conrted tired nature's sweet restorer in Gov. Moses' mansion. Having fixed up Chamber? lain snd Minort to bis notion, he next went to drive a bargain with his Ex? cellency, and then to refresh himself with balmy sleep. But, alas I soon came rumors that tho bloody Ku Klux were on tbe war path, breathing out threatenings and slaughter ugaiust the State offioials. The alarm was Bpreud end drove sleep from weary eyes. Rising in haste, tbe pair betook them? selves as fast as fast animals could carry them to tbe military headquar? ters, where they asked the command? ant to give them proteotiou. Captain Ogden, who commands the post in the absonco of Colonel Black, received them politely, and heard their tale of distress. He could not, be eaid, order out bis regiment, as requested, nor give them a guard, unless ordered to do so by the President or some superior au? thority. Patterson represented things urgent, and expressed surprise that men of their rahk could not find safety under the blossed national flag. The Captain oould do nothing but comply with their next request?to give them a bed noar where he himself slept, and where they would be, as ho thought, undis? turbed. Tbey passed the night at Captain Loyd's, sleeping in the samo bed, and the faithful wore pleased to learn, yesterday morning, that no bones were broken. Suoh is the tale that was ou*rent over the town yester? day. It wus further said that an orderly mounted guard before ex Comptroller Neagle's residence; that the Penitentiary guard was ordered out on duty, and that L. Cuss Carpenter packed his trnnks and was borne away on the wings of steam to Washington. The cause of this commotion was a fox bunt of Mr. Long aud two com? panions on the Lexington side of the river. This innocent and munly recre? ation of five or six persons was magni? fied into the epproucb, with tbe most bloody and determined purposes, of 500 Georgians, thirsting for Radical blood. This is tho last phase of Ku Kluxism, u furue which bus sut tbe whole town in u roar of laughter. Yes? terday and last night, the Radical headquarters were unusually quiet; tho fine carriages nnd buggies, which are usually so ostentatiously displayed, were not to bo seen. It is to bo sup? posed that the Radicals, whose sleep was torribiy disturbed the night bo fore, were at last all put away quietly in their little beds. Wo shall expect to see this little episode represented in most alarming fashion in tho Chicago Inter-Ocean and other journals from whicb the Union-Herald delights to dip stories of raw-boud-and-bloody bones transactions in the South. L. Oass Carpenter will do it up in style in tho Washington Chronicle or Republi? can, and the trembling despatches of Patterson to the President will form a most delightful theme of comment from those warriors Narth who never smelt gun-powder in the lato civil war, but who are now up in arms, charging the white people of the South with de? sire and design to wage a wur of races with the blacks. By-the-way, the ne? groes are hugely delighted with this joke, aud' think Maasa Patterson, Massa Moses and Massa Carpenter aro not suoh doughty warriors, ufter ull. Patterson told them "to bo ready," but he is not ready himself to face even the music of bouuds in a fox hunt. Good Newa from Marlboro. Marlboro has movod at last. Her people were mistnkonly endeavoring to make some sort of compromise with tho Radicals of tho County. Tbey have now put a good ticket in the field for Senator and Representatives, and will proceed to form their Tax Unions without delay. Hurrah for Marlboro! We beg the good men thero not to send such creatures hore any more to misrepresent them as Maxwell, of "lost resolution" noto ricty.a nd we aro snro they will not. IfOt BO.

Our friends in Spartanburg are muk iug great preparations for the barbecue aud railroad mass meeting and celebra? tion, on tbe 10th of .September, when ground will be broken ou the Spartuu burg and Asheville Railroad. It will be a proud day for Spanaubnrg, und the people, both of tbe town aud sur? rounding country, are already highly enthused on the subject. We observe that tbe day fixed upon for the celebra? tion is tbe same us that appointed for tbe mooting of the State Tax Uoiuu in Columbia. Maoy geutlemeu who are deeply interested in the railroud schema are no less so in tho Tux Union, and their counsels will bo wanted in the Tux Union Couventiou. Would it be practicable for our Spurtauburg friends to postpone their grand celebration, say to the 15th of September? We respectfully call their attention to tho subject. Each occasion is highly im? portant, aud each should muster its fneuds in tbe fullest possible force. To cut down tho record one-quarter of a second in a four mile nice is un exceedingly delicate operation, culling for scieutilio accuracy in every detail. Lotus consider what quarter seconds are. In Lexington's time?7.10^' ? there are exactly 1,759 quarter seconds. Iu a mile there ure exactly 1,700yards. Therefore one yard differeDOo iu tbe track would acoonut for a difference of a quarter of a second in the time. The lino actually run by a racer in passing other horses aud getting position often makes u greater difference. United States Distwct Cocbt? GkrekviTjIiB, Tuesday. Augudt 20.?

Walter R. Jonee, Gbairmau of tbo Committee on Resolution?, reported tbe following, wbicb was adopted una? nimously: Rasolved, Tbut we unfeignedly re? gret tbe course pursued by those who buvo di roc ted tbo publio allaim of South Carolina for tho past six yeurs, by which Republicanism in tbis Statu biiH become tliosynonim of Lund, dis? honesty und corruption, und tbo voting majority of colored men buvo been de? clared by many incapublo und unwor? thy of exercising und onjoyiug the privileges of American citizenship.

Resolved, That tbe musses of the colored people are not justly chargea? ble with tbe notorious mismanagement of the finances of the State; that tbe debt of the State ha.s been increased, her assets squandered, her revenues plundered, bur credit destroyed und tier uume disgraced by a few sbameles* politicians, who either buve deceived or purchased the iguuraut aud venal members of tbe General Assembly* that we do now, in the name of the young men of tbo State, repudiate the purchased us well us the purchasers, tbe deceived as well us those who have deceived them, und pledge ourselves to support for the General Assembly men who are competent to discharge their duties, honest enough to refuse a bribe, aud courageous enough to ex? pose whomsoever should attempt to bribe them.

A number of the members of tbe Columbia Schuelzen-Verein paid Pre sidcut Seegers a moonlight visit, last night, accompanied by the Post Band,' aud guvo him a pleasant serenade.

Leach, a contractor, with u large force of bauds, commenced work Thursday, at Sanford, and other contractors uro similarly engaged in a Southward direction. This makes another important feeder to Colum? bia. The Columbia Union alludes to and stigmatizes "speeches of an in? flammatory character," tending "to widen the breach botween tbe two races," of "certain politicians, (mean? ing Radicals,) as the "offspring of morbid bruins that seek success at the expenso of not only principle, but life. These meu do not represent the Re? publican party, nor have they tho right to speuk for it." Very good, and quite unexpected for the Union. Pat? terson, Wallace, McDevitt, Yocom, will do well to make a noto of this. Tho Union feels the wind from the threatening words of Patterson, Wal? lace and others as thoy hurtle through the air, aud gives tbem a warning to dry up. This it balances by a little unsolicited. advico to tbe "white De? mocrats," who are sagely informed that they cannot safely "defy the com? bined power of a great nation." Thank you for tho information. It is strik? ingly original. Wo never heard it before. Wo will try to heed it. It is so pleasant to have a wise friend at one's elbow.

Tsbbiblb Excitement Among tue RiplCiL p|?rio>ALs?Skedaddling. ?-| be 1Vickfc? Tleo Wheo No Man Pi rsueib," ejyeth tbe Scriptures, and aril b was tiro case on Wednesday night, when'Governor MoBes, Senator Patterson, General Dermin and other prominent Radical office-holders be? came badly soared and sought protec? tion from the United States soldiers. Ab the story goes, u report reached the j Executive ears that a perty of seventy mounted meu, from Georgia, bad ar? rived at Grauby, on a special train, and .were going to precipitate them? selves apou the defenceless officials, aud "cleuu them out." This terrible information was brought" by a colored woman from the vicinity, who de? clared that she hud counted them. The only foundation for the report, as fur as we can learn, was that Mr. John Long, with two other citizens, were on a fox huut on the Lexington eide of the river; and tbo sound of their horns inciting the dogs, created the idea of a detachmeut of cavalry, accompanied by innumerable buglers. It appears that the Governor was entertaining Senator Patterson, Gen. Dc.nuis and Treasurer Neagle, at a lute hour of tho night, when, like tbe warning to Belsbazzar, came the* noti? fication of tbe autioipated raid. Mes? sengers were immediately sent to the garrison headquarters, and Captain Ogdeu, acting Commandant of the Post, summoned to the resideuoe of Dr. Neagle, where tbe frightened purty had congregated The Captain was requested by the Souutor to put the gurrison under urms; but this he declined to do?hie directions being to avoid any interference in political or other affairs, except upon direct orders from Washington. "Well," said tbo Senator, "would you eee a man mur? dered, without interfering?" "I could not help it," was.tbe reply. Conversa? tion and inquiry of this nature was kept up for some time, wbeu in rushed Col. ChaB. Minort, heated and breath? less. A glass of water revived him. "Well," demanded the Governor, "what have you to report?" "I have had my skirmishers out." "How far?" "About a mile and a half." "What was discovered?" "Nothing," was the prompt response. Captain Ogdeu re? tired shortly afterwards, highly amused at tho ridiculous proceedings. > General Dennis had previously re? moved his family to a place of safety, and, npoa the breaking up of tbe con? ference, departed for the Penitentiary, where, it is supposed, he safely locked himself up. Dr. Neagle disappeared and was not heard of for dve or six hours. The Governor and the Senator obtained shelter with Captain Lloyd, (where, in a single bed, they passed tbe remaining hours of the night to? gether.) Would-be Congressman L. Cass Carpenter was seen, yesterday morning, streaking it for the depot, in order to carry the terrible intelligence of the raid, and what might occur, to the authorities at Washington, after the style of his celebrated Ku Klux statements. Later in the day, Mr. Loug and his two friends, accompanied by their bounds, arrived in the oity, and was muoh surprised to learn of the excitement be had created. And so ends the celebrated fox haut, or the second battle of Granby. Mail aubanoemektb.?Northern mail opens 6.30 A. M., 3 P. M.; closes LI A. M.,6 P. M. Charleston opens 8 A. M.,5.30 P. M.;oloees8 A.
