COLUMBIA, S. C. Tuesday Morning, September 1,1874 Learn from a Damaging Record. In these degenerate and corrupt tames, when the worst of men rate), there are many who are ready to main? tain that a lie is as good as the truth, . if only it be well stuck to. The reoord and history of Mr. Chamberlain as a pabtio man, filling important and re? sponsible public positions in Bouth Carolina, have been sufficiently venti? lated for the satisfaction of all honest inquirers and of all who are capable of appreciating and willing to appre? ciate evidence and argument. But he it the ring's man, and his eleotion is a job which must be put through, in or? der to subserve the bond-holders' pur? poses, to give the ring a new hold apoa the public offices, and thus to ?strengthen their grip upon the emolu? ments and plunder whioh they oan wring from the State. So they stickle at nothing. Thoy attempt to inflame the passions of the ignorant and vi? cious by incendiary language, in order to drive them huddling together, in? censed either by rage or possessed by fear, helpless in their hands and pre? pared to do their bidding. In another ?direction and through other means, they impose upon the weak by their publications, hido from them the truth, cram them with falsehoods and mould them to their will. They pre? tend to think that Mr. Chamberlain is olaA in the inviuoiblo armor of honesty of purpose, of integrity of oharacter, ani of reputation for truth and veraoity. Unflor a buow of forwardness and promptness, tbey ask, (see the Union, of a week Ago,) that if there is any? thing known -tending to implioate him, Ac, "we ask, in his name, that it be laid-before-the world at once." This is decidedly cool and impudent. In 'view of what has been published for xibe last three months, of the records which aru accessible -to the curious, of, ihe living fact that, with others, and more than others, Mr. C. has, in a brief time, brought the State to ruin -suid forever befouled its name. TJn aeoessary as it would be in any well -ordered community, superfluous as it may seem and really is to those who think and sift troth from falsehood, ?nd who oan detect the fallacies which lark in specious statements and af? fected frankness, it is indispensable bere to give line upon line, precept upon precept. As one head of misrep rcBentabion falls another rises. The sword which eats them down can have no rest. Opportunely for our purpose, ? friend has been indulging his habit of research, in examining that very ex? traordinary and instructive record of the Badioal party of thiB State, known as "The Beport of the Joint Special Finaooial Investigating Committee ' of the two Houses of the General As? sembly, for the session of 1870-71, and baa made some extracts which, with brief and telling comments, he has placed at our disposal. We proceed to lay tbem "before the world at once." They are of a decidedly "apeoifio cha? racter," are wholly Badioal or Republi? can, and show the very contrary of the claims set up for Mr. O.'s obaraoter as e> public man. We begin with the Land Commission.? This Com mis sioa was designed, ostensibly, to bay binds for the freedmen, and, when organized, consisted of two parts: 1. The "Advisory Board," composed of the Governor, Comptroller-General, Secretary of State and Attorney-Gene? ral (D. H. Chamberlain;) and, 2, of a Commission er. All discretionary func? tions were vested in the Advisory Board. The Commissioner was an executive officer, appointed at their will, and wholly subject to the control of the Board. Now for the report: After iotrodnoing the Commission as -"a gigoutic folly," whose office had been made "to subserve a certain or? ganized result, viz: the primary bene? fit of members of tho Advisory Board and the Land Commissioner and their subservient allies," the result of the investigation is summed up on page 19 mm follows: "Two committee believe, <wheo all the accounts, as well as letters and every other kind of information concerning this Commission, are pre? sented, they will be borne out in their conclusions, by every honest mind, that a more ontrageoos and enormous swindle could not have been perpe? trated and a more subtle manner of concealment perfected." And again, page 21: "The statement will bear re? iterating, that the Land Commission and its operations have been an out? rageous and on or m Otis swindle," and thoonly satisfaction and "comfort that tbe people of the State can take is that, having expended more than the entire amount authorized by law, 'the Krposes of tbe Land Commission' pe been gained, and no further ex PSpditures oan ba made. That legal 4RMU8 to bring these fraudulent trans? actions to light and the oorrupt com Slsators to judgment should be insti? led and furthered, there can be no vision of sentiment upon; and the sooner (be work is began, the less liable will tbe gailty be to cheat the demands of justice." ? On the same page, thi? peiiiuenfc question is pat to the VAdvisory Board:" "This is a grand council of 3~ve, wbiopl directs ail thing's in coll? ection with the Land Commission, Have' they done their doty?" And' after citing tbe evidence, it ie thas an? swered : "That great swindles have been perpetrated; that oorrapt moaos have been aseJ and alliances formed; that the money of the State and the bonds issued have not been disposed of Ab directed; that tbe whole spirit, letter and body of tbe laws anthoriztng the appointment of Land Commissioner, tbe purchase of lands, the settlement oT the same, tbe report of the Com? missioner, everything intended in the Act 'to create a Land Commissioner andj define bis powers and duties," j have been disregarded or wantonly perverted, oannot be gainsaid. That tbe 'Advisory Board* are responsible for all this, the verdiot of the 'home? less and landless,' at least, will be re? corded." Tbe legal adviser of this "Advisory Board," be it remembered, "as a mat? ter of grave and urgent duty," is now a oandidate for the office of Governor of tbe State. His con? demnation here is one of the moat solemn records of his own party. His sentenoe he prononnced himself when, fresh from tbe perpetration of this "outrageous and enormons swindle," and no doubt ohnokling in his heart over the "subtle manner of conceal ment perfected," in his speech at Chester, in August, 1870, be thus tri? umphantly rounded a period: "If Gen. Butler or Jadge Carpenter prove to you to day any fraudulent act, one in stanoe of mismanagement or misap? propriation of pnblio funds under the present administration, then let -your Bwift condemnation fall upon our beads. Drive us from office; ayo, drive us from the State. Whenever the re? form leaders make good one single oharge or fasten one single fraud upon our history, let us descend to merited in? famy." .Possibly Mr. Chamberlain thiuks that his present candidacy is a Bwift road to "merited infamy." Certainly r "fraudulent acts," in? stances of "mismanagement or mis? appropriation of public funds," have been abundantly exhibited. "Con? demnation" justly falls upon tbe head which so rashly invoked it, and only enlightened and just public opinion is needed to drive Mr. Chamberlain and bislang from office, und with its at? tendant executioner to inflict tho eveu sterner sentenoe ohalleoged by himself. ? m ?? > Mr. Treacot mm a. Candidate for Con? gress. The Republican and independent press of tbe North has received the oandidaoy of Mr. Treacot for Congress in the Third District with marked favor. The New York Times, Tribune, Boston Post and other leading journals have been pleased to acknowledge bis talents and fitness. He is a man of deoided parts and of eminent qualifica? tions for the public service. His letter annonnoing his determination to be a candidate was in good taste, and was judicious in advising that we avoid present antagonism to President Grant, and that we work along with the colored people upon good terms, de? taching them and extricating them, us j far as .we may, from the oliquo of thievish offioe-boldorfl. < .? t, ? Ovcr-reaclitd Themselves. The Radical gerrymandering triok by which Richland was substituted for Lexington in the Third Con? gressional Distriot, in order to over? come by its heavy black vote the preponderating conservative vote of tbe other Counties, will probably de? feat itself. Bichland is not contiguous to the other Counties, and can't be conntei in; The Badical candidates all bail from Kichland, viz: H?ge, Jill son, Purvis, Parker, L. O. Carpenter. They are not eligible, nor is Bichlund constitutionally a part of the Con? gressional District. Tho Act of tho Legislature can't make it contiguous in spite of geography. Tbe Union-Herald oomes back to its charges against the Democratic press of vituperation against too South Caro? lina Badioals. It don't like to hear a spade called a spade. Now, who has abased the Radical leaders of this State, ot ever can abuse them, him so savagely as they abase eaoh other, and as tbe Republioan press North abases them? This wo have frequently shown before, and in showing it have pnt down this senseless clamor of the U.'H, If it pops np this exscinded head again, we will give it another dose of Pike and tbe rest. "t ^ a? ? It is the observation of one of tbe profoandest philosophers of modern times, that the most dreadful calamity that fate oan visit npon a sensitive mind is a suit of hair that won't onrl, oonpled with a oorroding anxiety for it to do so. An Arkansas lady hung herself the other day because her sis ter'sjhair would curl and her's wouldn't. Thus crashed by inexorable fato, tbe only winder is that she didn't hang her sister before hanging herself?or immediately afterward. Claiming Vast Estates.?Periodi? cally, in all eeotiooB of .the United States, the newspapers ate heralding that this person or that person, or tbia family or that family, may Joe consi? dered among tbe fortunate, becauseau estate of many millions is' awaiticg ownership. We have not escaped such trouble in the South, and so the New York Times is to be thanked for throw iog some daylight npon this provoking business. We quote: The most extraordinary ideas pre? vail amoog a large class of ignorant persona as to the vast properties await? ing them in tbe old country, if they oould but got together the missiog links. The consular authorities of Great Britain are often worried out of their lives by the visits of persoun who beiteve, or affect to believe, themselves entitled to sumu which wuuld make u Botbsohild's mouth water. Of oourae, the geutlemuu who comes iu for the brunt of these inquiries is the Consul General at New York. Persons of both sexes are continually looking iu on that much-enduring gentleman, to learn whether a few millions have ar? rived for them, and to suggest that he should proBeouto inquiries iu their be? half?suggestions which, in the ab senoe of cash down, are apt to be ac? companied by a generous offer of par? tition, or at least per ceutage, on resto? ration to ancestral halls, or the receipt of a oheok in five or six figures from the Bank of England. There are, moreover, certain fami? lies who periodically hold meetings, recalling that cheerful assemblage de? scribed at tbe opening of Martin Cbnz zlewit, with the view of aompassiug the recovery of "their own ugaiu;" but we have never been able to hear of a single instance in which a really sa? tisfactory pecuniary result fob owed. In moat oases, there is not even a sha? dow of foundation for tbe ulaim. Some time ago, a gentleman bearing tho name of those who c aimed one of these estates, having become bored to distraction with the visits and letters of those who represented themselves as his co-heirs, exhorting him to assist them' in their efforts to recover their joint inheritance, determined, with the view of bringing the matter to a olimax, to make inquiries through the most efficient obunnel. fie accord? ingly put himself in commnnication with the agents of Messrs. Baring, who, through the London solicitors of that firm, made the closest inquiries into the matter. Tho result was to ascertain that the colossal fortune was pure delusion. But there was no con? vincing the ignorant claimants, who are as eager as ever in the wild goose chase. We imagine that in many oases those delusions are fostered by roguish lawyers.' A case occurred two years ago in England illustrative of thin. It appeared that in the "Bluck Country" of Staffordshire, two sharp? ers, who had acquired a smattering of law as clerks in an attorney's office, fleeced people out of incredibly large sums on pretext of prosecuting their claims. In an instance which came before the Bnlish Consul-General three years ago, it was evident that the young woman claiming hoped by this means to entrap a mun in a superior position into marriage with ber, and, possibly, she might have succeeded, if she had "piled on" rather more moderately. But uotbiug is more re? markable iu these ridiculous claims than the amount at whioh the claim? ants assess them. This young lady or her brother was in the habit of drop? ping in to know "whether tbe 19,000, 000 poonds sterling bad yet been paid to her credit," and affected to be quite surprised when Mr. Archibald wan forced to confess that this trifle bad not yet come to hand. "The True White Man's Party." Mr. Wm. Henry Tresoot's name is en? titled to consideration in South Caro? lina, and when he offers himself as a candidate for Congress, without wait? ing for tho action of any party conven? tion, we tarn to his address with a great deal of interest. Mr. Troseot does not appear as the representative of any party. And ho invites all honest citizens, irrespective of tbeir previous partisan associations, to co? operate with him in the attempt to drive out a clique of thievish office? holders who disgrace and weaken thoir own party. We are not saugoine of tbe success of Mr. Trescot's can? vass; bat he has correctly stated what ought to be tbo attitudo of tho pa? triotic people of South Carolina, and his campaign will be watched at the North with some solicitude. Within u few days another distinguished South Carolina conservative bus also mude a public statement of his views on tho political situation. Gon. Kershaw, like Mr. Treeoot, is careful to disolaim any hostility to Gen. Grant. Both, on the contrary, assnre thoir friends that whatever issues may have formerly divided them from the President and his administration were long ago closed, and that they look to Gen. Grant with the best hope of relief. 1 he black men and the while men in the South have got to live loge?ier, and work together, and there will be no real peace and prosperity until they learn to Vuie together. They are kopt apart by two classes of politicians, equally pestilent?tho blatant rogues like Moses, who persuade tbo negro that his rights are endangered by tbe re? appearance of tbe Southern white con? servative in politics; and the roaring lire-eaters like the editor of the Mont? gomery (Ala.) Morning News, who threaten the white man with "misoe genation" unless bo oau assert at once and for all bis political and social su? premacy.?New York Tribune. Mrs. Ella Barrel, supposed to be from Cloarfleld, Pa., was brutally mur? dered at Desmoines, Tuesday night, ber head being split with a batobot. j Weite Men Assailed by Radical Negroes.?The Blackville Times, a bitter Radical sheet, gives the follofv house of Mr. 0. E. Lartigue: It will.be remembered that oar town was startled a abort while ago, at mid? night, to the burning of tho new dwell? ing house of Mr. O. E Lartigue, just on the eve of its being occupied by his family. At first, a poor demented woman, known us orazy Kite, wuh thought to be the incendiary. Scarcely bad thu excitement and surmises died out, when exactly u week after, at nearly the same hoar, the saw mill of hia brother, Dr. Q. B. Lartigue, was fired. Tben the mystery thickened. The day after the burning of the saw? mill und the sume day of the great Re, publiodu in uns meeting, a telegram was received by Dr. Lirtigiic, from bum berg, S. C, signed by u persun living there, informing him that ho (the sunder of the inosange) bud overheard a conversation between two negroes, that Dr. Lirtigue would bu assassi? nated on that day. The Messrs. Lar? tigue are the most prominent Demo orats of the town, and from tbeir general deportment, are respected by all clusses ill* the Oouuty. The tele gram was as follows: Bofoud's BiiiDGB.

The Swimmino Match at Losa Branch.?The great international swimming match between J. B. John? son and Andrew Trautze for $2,000 and the championship of the world, has been postponed three times, took place Friday afternoon, ut Pleasure Bay. The contestants were taken three miles from Old Pleasure Bay House dock, and at 4 25 o'clook the swimmers dived ofT the steamboat. The men kept well together on tho first mile, und on tho second Trautze was (leading by six lengths, but on the last mile, and when within one huu dred yards of the stake, Jonbsou forged aheud, winning by fifty feet, in oue boar ten minutes und thirty se? conds. Trautzc's time was oue hour twelve minutes and twenty-two se? conds. On their arrival at the dock they were greated with entbusiam and carried on the shoulders of their ad? mirers. The United Service Gazette, of Lou don, tells of tho serious result of a practical joke played by romo officers of a "distinguished regiment." II seems that a young officer, tho junior lieutenant of his corps, was not re? garded with particular favor by the rest of tho officers, and that a short time since several of them, among whom was a captain, "for a joke," forced the (to them) obnoxious young gentleman into the oage of a tamo bear. The disposition of the animal was not, however, known to the lieu? tenant, and ho was so terrified that he soon lost his senses. A yet more dread? ful result followed. While in confine? ment, under restraint, the deranged man killed his keoper. The officers implicated belong to families of high rank. Grangers as Grain Exporters.? The ship Star of Hope, owned by Samuel G. Reed, of Boston, is said to have been chartered by the grangers in California to carry grain direct to Earope, and is the first vessel entirely loaded by tho order. The Star of Hope, wo are told, is only the foro runner of many other vessels whioh will soon follow her over the same traok and on tho same mission.

Yoeorn, of Chester, as among those who might profit by condemnation expressed against Radical politicians for using inflammatory harangues, did not and does not proporly apply to him. We are prompt to give him the benefit of tbe statement now made to ns, that both Democrats and Repub? licans of tbe County of Chester will recognize such acousatioo against him . as unfair and untrue. Murder in Bamberg.?A quarrel occurred in the druggist store of Mr. Cramp, at Bamberg, Saturday night, which resulted in the shooting of Trial Justice Browning afterwards, while he was on his way home. The wounds proved fatal in about ten minutes' time from tbe shooting. Mr. Brown? ing was on bis way down to Branch villo, to meet his wife, who was en rattle from thia city and bad tele? graphed to that effect. Mr. Browning was formerly a baggage-master on the South Carolina Railroud, and a man of good repute. Crump was arrested and placed in jail. There was a good deal of feeling, wo understand, on account of this trouble. Departure of Dr. Darijy for New York.?Dr. John T. Darby left Co? lumbia, yeatorday, for the city of Now York, whero be goes upon tho invita? tion of the New York University, to accept tho professorship of surgical anatomy in that institution. This is a high compliment, but one thoroughly deserved. As a surgeon, Dr. Darby is one of tbe most accomplished and dis? tinguished in this country. His prac tioo has been large, bis reading exten? sive and varied, and bis industry un? tiring. As a lecturer, he is earnest, scholarly, full of knowledge and with uncommon aptness in illustration. As a gentleman, he is pre-eminent for his agrecublo manners, coartly address and tho elegant bonhommie which al? ways win favor and consideration. We regret to lose him, but he has gone 1 where his talents and accomplishments will havo a wider, better and more oongonial field. The Now York Uni? versity has done well iu adding him to i its highly-distinguished corps of leo i turers and professors.

Misdirected Bile.?The bile is slightly cathartic, and when of the proper quality and poured regularly, as it ought to be, into the proper bowel?, it keeps the intestinal canal free from obstruction. But if, owing to the sluggish aotion of the liver, the secretion be deficient in quality or quantity, oostiveness is the result; nor can the bowels, under euch circum? stances, be permanently regulated, ex? cept by an efficient anti-bilious agent. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is such an agent, as well as a painless laxative and a general tonic Hence it is a spe? cific for oonBtipation. Bat thiB is only one of the many virtues of this un? equalled vegetable restorative. It is oue of the offices of the bile to ab? stract the superabundant carbon from the blood, and when the liver does not work, this function devolves upon the kidneys, which cannot even imper? fectly perform the task, without being seriously disordered. Consequently, kidney diseases are often consequent upon the torpidity of the liver. A course of the Bitters will effectually arouse and regulate that organ, when inert or slothful, and thereby -avert ohrouio disease of the kidneys or blad? der, as well as oure constipation. Moreover, this powerful specific is an absolute core for dyspepsia, nervous prostration, mental despondency, gene? ral debility, headache and all the minor ailments proceeding from im? perfect digestion and assimilation. As an invigorant for the aged and infirm, and a means of rapidly restoring tbe strength of convalescent patients, it takes precedence of every other medi? cated stimulant in use. .A 80 |3 % I Many who are suffering from the effects of the warm weather sod are debilitated, are advised by physicians to take moderate amounts of whiskey two or three times during the day. In a little while, 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 fo:- the benefit of debilitated persons, whether at home or abroad, is Dr. Schonck's Sea Weed Tonic. Con? taining the juices of many medicinal herbs, this preparation does not create an appetite for the intoxioating cup. The nourishing and the life-supporting properties of many valuable natural productions contained in it and well known to medioal men have a most strengthening influence. A single bottle of tbe Tonic will demonstrate its valuable qualities. For debility aris? ing from sickness, over-exertion or from auy cause whatever, a wine glassful of Sea Weed Tonio, taken after meals, will strengthen tbe sto? mach and Greste sl sppatite for whole? some food. To all who are about leaving tbeir homes, we desire to say that the exzellent effects of Dr. Scbenck's seasonable remedies, Sea Woed Tonio and Mandrake Pills, are particularly evident when taken by those who are injuriously affected by a change of water and diet. No person shonld leavo home without taking a supply of these safeguards along. For sale by all druggists.
