COLUMBIA, 8. C; Tass lay Morning, September 29,1874 To tUs Public. Tue Oharieston News and Courier mentions an unjust rumor in regard io changes in the political course oi the Phoenix, which, it says, it would not have listen od to, but for the ab senoe, for the lost two days, of tbe nsaal "vigorous editorials'' in opposi? tion to Mr. Chamberlain. We would not presume to teuoh, bat must te mind tbe Neuss and Courier how little value should be accredited to rnmor, even with suoh confirmation as it thinks it finds in this particular one. We oarselvos bear many, some oven concerning onr contemporary, but we charitably disregard all that are circu? lated with injurious intent. So much for this rnmor in its defamatory aspeot. It is true, and we state it candidly, that we are not inclined to pursue Mr. Chamberlain further with any special severity. To the moment of his nomi? nation and sinoo, until withiu three or four days, wo opposed it by every argnmeut, consideration and fact in onr power to nse. We were as early as the News and Courier in this work, and proseonted it as vigorously within our spherp, as long as it appeared Lobe a duty to do so. This is fresh iu the knowledge of the country, and we need not recall it with any greater minuteness. But npon reflection and examination of the field, after tbe nomination, we became convinced that further opposition was fruitless. It appeared to as that the efforts of the minority of the Republican Con? vention to ran an opposing candidate mast result in failure. We resolved, therefore, to moderate the expression of onr opposition to Mr. Chamberlain, and to hold the balance even between him, Jadge Greene, or any other oppo? nent lie may encounter in his own party, doing justice to all, and giviug i? fill full and free voice in the co? lumns of tho Puccsix. within the limits of juet and fuir discussion. That's our position, and wu hope it may be satisfactory to all inquiring friends. A word more. We have differed with several of onr friends in arriving at tbiB deoision. It has cost ns pain .to find onraelveB at oomplete variance with the gentleman who, for the last two years, has conducted our political columns. He is strongly of the opinion that we should take ap and continue to ohampion the cause of the Inde? pendent Republicans. He believes both in its juetioe and in their power, with Conservative support, to make it successful; and he thinks the defeat of Mr. Chamberiain would break the book-bone of the carpet-bag govern? ment in South Carolina. He is, there? fore, in no way responsible for the more moderate ooarse which we pro? pose to pursue, viz: that of an armed neutrality in the pending politioal con? test. To the undersigned alone will | belong the praise or the blame, which? ever it may prove to be, and tbe entire responsibility for the attitude, of the Phosvix, which he hereby announces that it has taken. JULIAN A. 8ELBY, E litor and Proprietor of tbe Phcksix -?-??*-?? Tbe North is beginning to refleot np m the oonsequenoes of its work in the South sinoo the war. The Herald, in a recent editorial, says, with a good deal of significance, that the North has overthrown Davis and Lee, bat in their stead has built ap Moses and Kellogg; "the Rhetta, the Masons and the Breokioridges have beea extinguished, and In than places we have the War moths, tho Pinohbaoks, the Whitte mores and the Blodgetts." "By'r lady, a hit, a palpable hit!" An hon? est rebel, oven in Northern eyes, is better than a thieving loyalist. The New York Herald does not join in the ory echoed by some of the South? ern people to do away with the old pilots?the men who led the South be? fore and daring V. e war. It truthfully says that in the secession movement the people were tho pilots, and that men like Hunter and Davis "merely hold on to the wheel while the vessel dashed over the rapids, and did what they would to steer it oat when the sea arose." It adds that Hunter is to-day more worthy of respect than any pub? lic man in Virginia, and that it shall beiiove in the reality of reconstruction when "saoh men return at the head of their State to the counsels of the Union." ! -?-??-? Diminutive Switzerland has been de? prived of 1,800 aorea of territory through the arbitration of American Minister Marsh, who was chosen to settle a boundary dispute between that country and Italy. She still has a few acres left, however. Io'un address to his constituents of Anderson County,Representative John Ooohran, early in this mouth, iudi oated several substantial reforms os in? dispensable in hie party. It would have been wall if tuey bad been made the shibboloth in the county conven? tions which chose delegates to the nominating convention. With such a test kternly applied, m iny mou who figured in that body ought never to have been elected to it. Tho viewB of Mr. Coohrau do him credit, and vindi? cate the record which he has made as a legislator seeking to overthrow abuses by the interposition of legal barriers. Wo have referred on several occasions to his agency in procuring the passngo of such laws ns the law to levy specific tax, to regulato the. num? ber of attaobeos, public printing and the disbursement of public fund-,. We arc pleased to eoa that he proposes tu go on in tho same course. In tho address roferrod to, ho advocates such a consti? tutional modification of our present system of taxation as will operate a re? duction of tuxes. Inasmuch as the impoverished condition of the people, the high rate of taxation end want of pnblic crodit prevent all State aid to railroads and public improvements, bo recommends, further, the use of con? vict labor for suob purposes. He thinks the high rato of money can be brought down by a return to 7 per cent, as the legal rate of interest, and the revival of tho usury laws. All the foreign capital, he says, introduced here has been by moneyed men of New York aud a few E intern cities, through the ageuoiea of banks and brokers, who have lent money to the citizens at 12, 18 and 20 per cent., dividing the profit between 6 and 7 per cent.-the legal rate of interest North?and the extor? tionate rate of interest here. The ef? fect of tho high interest charged for money has been to chill and check investment;} in railroads and manufactories, und to inorouso the coet to the farmers, who ure ojmuclled to plant on credit, thirty three to fifty per cent, over cash prices for their supplies. He might have gone further and shown that the money power has sustained the abuses and corruptions of the State Govern? ment, by investing in its bonds and certificates and dabbling in its jobs. The evil of deur money is apparent enough; the remedy proposed is not. bo plain. But we pass on to notice an important concession which Mr. Cochran advises the Radical go? vernment to make. After six years' experience, during which time the Republican party bus had almost exclusive control of the affairs of the State, he is convinced that "it is essen? tial to the peace, prosperity und happi? ness of the people of the State, that the tax-paying interest should be more fully represented, irrespective of party; not' only permitted but required to take their proportionate share in tho offices and responsibilities of tho government of the State." Skipping over his views i upon the militia, the retention of the school fund in the respective Coun? ties, the restriction of the sessions of the General Assembly to forty days, the abolition of the contingent fund, and other points of considerable inte? rest, upon which they seem to be gene? rally just and quito advanced, when we consider the stand-point of the writer, we come upon another signifi? cant sign of things to come. It is found in the following langnage: "As intelligent suffrage secures and protects the rights of the people, under a re? publican form of government, and the State having, by a liberal school fund, furnished the means of education, I shall favor and advocate an amend? ment of the Constitution providing for a qualified suffrage, from and after the year 1880, of all male citizens who booouie twenty-one years of age after that time." We shall watch with much interest the progress which those advuncod und sagacious views make in the Radical party. It is noticeable that they are rigidly excluded from the platform of the convention, and will not come up for consideration until the supposed necessities of party success shall resur? rect them, unless their author shall press them into discussion and forco a conclusion. We trust that ho will. The role upon which be has entered will require him to go on. A mau pos so3?ed of these opinions cannot stand still. He is committed to progress and healthful agitation, both by these sig? nificant declarations and by tho lan? guage nsed in advance in reference to candidates for State offices. The boy who, when asked to whut trade be would wish to be brought up, replied: "I will be a trustee, beoause ever uinoe papa has been a trustee we have bad pudding for dinner," was a wise child in bis generation.

A Good bios.?One of the most oheering indications of the -fact that) the Weat is beginning to understand the oonditiou of uff tire in the South, and to oull for a change in the potioy of tho Government towards this sec? tion, is fouud in the resolution passed by the Liberal Republican nnd Demo? cratic (Jouveution of Minnesota. It if the lirst [dank in tho plutfoim, was adopted unanimously, aud had ? plea? sant Souud to Sjutbi.ru cars. Here it "1. Bdieving tho present disastrous condition of the Southern Status tu be largely ?tu? to the corrupt rule of car? pet-bug politicians, who have plunder eel aud impoverished the people, in? tensified the pre judices of race und driven tbuso communities to the veri of civil wur; knowing that this state of affairs lias been developed during tho administration of President Grant, and been fostered by tbe course of too Republican party, aud despairing of relief, except through a radical change of policy, wo demand the maintenance of a just aud impartial policy towards tho people of tho South, whereby both races will be protected in all their rights; tho expulsion of tbe thieves, and perfect equality before the law for all persons, without regard to race, color or political opinions." This iu all the Sooth wi.'hce. Ln hor get rid of the thieve*, who Hre bleeding her to death; let the admi? nistration allow the people of the South to coutrol their owu domestic affaira and to exercise the right of local self-government, and there will bs no mote trouble. SHAKY.?The New York Herald an? swers a conundrum thus: "When people wonder why onr cre? dit is dead iu foreign hinds, let them remember that S3?U,0U0,000 of railway bonds are in delimit. In other words, wo have burrowed this vast sum of money to improve the. country, and wk do not pay the iuterest. This is a shameful fact?one of the dark omens of the policj' of repudiation which j threatens our future." Take? your lingers from o ir throat, and then your credit m.iy improve. - ? A Boomehang.?The Boston Post says: "This Union is so constituted that I when one member suffers, nil uro made, j soouer or later, to feel it. There can I not lie oppression in Louisiana or rob? bery in South Carolina, without a dis? turbance in the entire Republican cir? culation. The blood cannot be poi? soned by political corruption iu ouu part of the Federal system without ut feotiug all partb alike. And especially, in a Republic like ours, is iuteinal peace and stability essential to any sys? tem of trade, intercourse und industri? al progress and prosperity." -* - The Bu-ikbsS fctuus.?The mono? polizing subject of conversation by people* ut pres"nt is tho bu-inct;s fu ture. The N> w York Journal nf Com? merce thinks there need be no wonder at this, siuce i ho wisest meu uro lost iu uncertainty over tho prospects of trade, aud opinions so wideiy differ as to tbe best means of escaping from the present depression. All now see thut the financial legislation of tbe last sea- I siou furnished no remedy for the real ills under which the country Buffers, but rather aggravated them. It is uo wonder that so many business meu, in? telligent enough on other mutters, are inextricably muddled when they ap? proach tbo financial policy of the age, being beset by so many conflicting opinions, each presented by plausible advocates; and we need not be sur? prised, says the editor, that tho true relation of finance to trade is the one perplexing topio of the period. The great trouble is probably the natiooul bank system, crushing out all Stute banks and their local currency. A religious journal is sbooked at the manner 1 adieu wear their hair, aud more so ut their appropriating that from borrowed crowns. Tho editor iu question is well known to wear the biggest wig in the city. However, this apart, for tho benefit of tho orthodox, who ought to bo swayed by the fathers of the church, they are reminded that the Conncil of Constantinople, iu 692, excommunicated the persons who wore curls or had their hair /rise. The Council of Tour?, in 1583, exoominu nicatud those who dyed their hair or wore it otherwise thun flat. St. Cle? ment regarded it as a grand impiety for Christian ladies to wear tbo hair of strangers, a conduct that St. Jerome closely associates witii satanic doings. More terrible still, St. Paul, in speak? ing of tho daughters of Siou, said they swell out their hair so much with locks bought from tho foreigner, that "the Lord will cover them with confusion and make them bald." It is calculated that In land has lust 3.UU0.0UO of her inhabitants in thirty j years. Most of these emigrants have, of course, oomo to America. It is said now, however, that under tbe new Irish land law, the exodus has been checked, and many Irishmen even who have acquired fortunes iu this country are goiug buck to Ireland aud I settling permanently iu their old homes. Cue thing is certain, th< emi? gration from Ireland is steadily de? creasing. A Mal? Batle?Aatonialilng DUoovery la ? rBlhloiiKblo Ntvr VorU Ifuaid lng House. Three or four weeks ego, a goutle msD oomiag to New York city from the West, became acquainted iu thocourse of long hours of travel iu tho care with an uuasually interesting, accom? plished, beautiful, stylish t/omau. I She also was on her wuy to New York, was going to u hotel, would prefer u boardiug house, but did uot kuow auy. The gentleman named a highly re? spectable house where he was ac? quainted, which wan eenlrally and pleasantly situated, and frequented by a class of wealthy and traveled fo? reigners, particularly French, Spanish und Spanish-Americans. Uu arriving, be politely took her to this boarding house, paid for tho carriage, intro? duced her tu the proprietor, spoile a word aside in luwir uf (he Mrunger und went aw y Thn holy took nouns ul SI 5 u week, uuil Wita left to doQ her traveling tuit and dress for dinner. Iu about an hour she descended l<> tin; table. Her jewels wi re sup- rt>, in r coiffure imposing, and an Etizvhelhati tritt of the riebest lace was tisle.i.td cloudy under her chin by a hioojh hnhllug a bouquet ?l rose buds. A aimilir hotiquet surmounted her lure bead und reputed agatust the hair, a coiouet uf bloom. Her eon v.-i national accomplish dents were as remarkable as the elegance of her dress. Iu short, from her first appearance at the dinner table, tho uew boarder was the envy of the ladies, the admiration of the gen? tlemen und the sensation of the house. Every day brought variety iu a new and more ravisbiug toilet than (lie duj previous; and, iu udditiou to the use of Fr> nob und Spanish, that weie the veruaculur of Hie table, she talked Swedish with Ihu Swedes, Genuau with the Germans aud Italiuu with the Italians. Her Euglish was that of uu American, with the least little luteiesl ing touch of a foreigu accent. No wonder that, with all this, udded to an affable disposition, versatility of ideas, fluency of anecdote, iho accumulated knowledge uf things in general that comes frum extensive travel, united with a stutely figure und superb toilet, all the gentlemen were fascinated and all the ladies jealous. ' Time brought the end of the first week, und beuntiful Madame bowed her lofty head-to apologise to the land? lady fur the non-arrival of an expected remittance, wherefore she was unable to meet the bill. The landlady stated to au old boarder the incongruity of u ludy having such a wardrobe ami not ?15 with which to pay her board. The rich ami whole sou led Southerner, to whom the laudiad) mentioned Lor lit? tle perplexity, gave her the $15, en? joined her uot to annoy Madame, und should it similar difficulty again arise, to apply to him, and uol. to the lady. The Southerner'.-, s'.ili richer friend was so thoroughly enamored with the l\.s diluting foreigner that he gave up his lodgings iu a fashionable hotel und took up his abode under the same roof. But tho bewitching cosmopoli? tan wanted, and ehe Wou, tho good graces of tho women us well as the homage of the men. Accordingly she exercised her powers of fascination, aud their ctivy and anger melted as wax beueath the suu at her sweetly in? sinuating advances. Wheu to them beguiled into a private tete-a tele iu the penetralia of Mtidame'n sanctum, she opened her trunks nud boxes and gave them u scrutinizing view ot her rich robes aud jewels, they were enchanted, and before the end of tho second week Madame was us firmly fixed in the ten? der affections uf the ladies us she Wim iu the manly bosoms of their lords. Her luces were the Quest, her silks and satins lustrous iu the extreme, the jewels dazzling, the perfumes wereele guucu itself, while the one coquettish point characteristically Mad. Liu per's own, was tho uuf tiling love knot of rose-buds snuggling In r throat under the chin. Without one word of warn? ing a thunder-clap burst upon the clear sky of that eummer boarding-house. Ouo eveuing, near tho end of her tri? umphal week, a frieud culled to see the landlady, nud ufter hearing an account of this wonderful womau, who drew men from their hotels?for another gentleman was on the point of removal ?tho friend answered, "I suspect your Udy is a man," showing the landlady a newspaper article headed, "He or She?" detailing the career of Christo? pher Liuud, uutl concluding with "New Yorkers, beware!" If tho imposter appears as a Spanish Don, or as the Countess Kauth, beware; for in either character, he, she or it will swindle you, giving you to boot moro genuine solid lying than any creature that ever donned petticoats or pants in this or any other country. The article, first printed iu a Chicago newspaper of August 3, 1871, described how, a year ago this fall, a young Dane of prepossessing address arrived iu Chicago, fresh from Europe, aud got employment through the assistance uf a gentleman who bad been a fellow passenger in the steamer coming over. Ho obtained various situations iu hotels, which he lost through indiscre? tion ; had pupils in French, gaining ac? cess to persons of place and ulllueuce, and was interpreter for the Belief nud Aid Society during tho greuter portion of lust winter, a position which he filled with considerable ability and crodit to himself, exhibiting no really bud habits except that of telling long und lltteut lies. The employees dubbed him "Ma? ria" from his effeminate- voice aud con u teuanco. At one time ho was the ille? gitimate son of the high Baron Luv euskjohl, at another he was tho off? spring of the Couut Kuuth, then he was Alexander Lnnti, und iu the next situatiou ho was Jeovauini Dominique de L'Uuti, then a Spanish don, und theu Mrs. Isabella Kolbe, wearing the fiuest fabrics of foreign looms, and the flashy jewelry worn at an earlier stago was replaced by rings aud bracelets of the cuatliuat kind. Tbeu sbe was u countess from Denmark, tbe Countess Ktiulb, and bud beuu maid of bouor to tbo Queeu, aud lastly, sbe was known ae Mrs. Isabella iiuper. Here was a terrible' hint to set upon. Tbe alarmed landlady iustantly sought the presence of the bewitoher, and, on drawing very near, uuder tbe pretence of udmiring more closely tbo embroi? dery of tbe Elizabethan trill, saw to ber terror that rouge and pearl powder hud hitherto concealed tbe deep blue of a scant and closely-shaven beard, und on gently opening the ruf! she saw a well-developed uud siguiticant Adam's upplu reuring itself Irom the bed of ruses. The laudlady quickly retreatiug, assembled a domestic council nud spn ml before them the amazing fact that the idol of the gemlemeu, the con? ti leiilial companion and bosom friend ul ibe ladies, was no more nor less ibau Christian Lund, tho man who ta ciliated uifu u? u woman, and swin? dled women us a man. fhu consternation that fuliuwed this annouueemeut in a bouse filled with emoMutiul foreigners may be imagined, the gentlemen wished to drug the de? ceiver from bis dowuy conch and Hing hin: out into tbe darkness of tue night. 1 11 tearful landlady besought them tu leaVo tbo double deceiver to bis unme? rited si urn ber, and themselves also to sleep over the disclosure, which they consented to do, after u long consulta? tion. 8be, he or it was always lute at breakfast. It was determined to lock ber ruuui uutil the gentlemen of the breakfast table hid dispersed for the day. uu<l then .summon tbe lirst availa? ble, expeditious cart, aud iutu it pitch the importer's dainty baggage and oust tho possessor thereof. The next tort noon, uu express wagon was piled up with a mountain of trunks und boxes, sod Minter-Mudame, in her guuteelest petticoats and bonnet, sprang lightly down the stairs. Tbe feminine part of the household watched the sceue from the windows. Tbe lovely adventurer bounded up to tbe seat by i be driver, aud with a smile of perfect self possession, looked buck at the bouse, touched bis lips find grace? fully kissed his hand to the ladies ut. i Die express wugou dashed out of.

L Addison, E-q , Intendant of th" towu of EdgeGeld, tins issued the following proclamation iu relation to tbe mattnr: Intendant'sOffice, Edgefield C. H., September 25, 1874. To All Whom it Way Concern: Eil ward Tenuant, captuin of a com? pany of militia iu EigeLWId County, has this day come with bis company and delivered up the arms in their pos? session to Lieutenant Leahy, iu com? mand of the detitchment of United States troops ut this place, nod have expressed their desire tu return to iheir homes. It is also the wish of the citizens of this place that they be per? mitted to return to their homes unmo? lested. (Signed) J. L. ADDISON, Intendant Towu of Edgetiuld, S. C. Bullock, the captain of the other ne? gro militia company, has expressed a willingness to give up the arms of his company, if the whites will go after them, but says ho will not curry them forward himself. The Tux Union, which met Friday, requested the gentleman ou whose pluce Tenant is living to notify bim to leave. Iu osbo of bis refusal to do so, measures will bo taken to compel him to quit tbe county, as the people feel that there is no guarantee that tbe dis? turbance will not be renewed as long as this turbulent character resides in tbe county. It is a matter of gratnlation to all good citizens, white and black, that the troubles, which at one time threatened to bo of so serious a nature, have been brought to such a peaceable conclusion. Tbo wholo section is now quiet, and the negroes, who seem fully satisfied that they can accomplish no good by incen? diary movements, are apparently unanimous in crying "Let us have peace." This they will oertainly have as long as they stick to the letter of the declaration. Tho whites arc not desir? ous of mukiug war upou them, and only require that suoh threatening de? monstrations as were put forward last Suuday be not made in tho future. A later despatch states that Moses dues appeal for aid iu Edgefioid Coun? ty, ou the ground that be is powerless to enforce Ins orders. What ortler he bus issued that bus not been obeyed by tbo white citizens of the county is cer? tainly u mystery to people iu that sec? tion. Perhaps tbo Governor thiuks be cannot* control bis colored militiu. Graut is evidently determined in this instance, at least, not to make a moun? tain of a mole-bill. He thinks the com? pany of troops now in Edge-field amply siiflicieut to act as a Pnotoriau Guard for his Excellency. I Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel. ? *?

Wife Murder?Attempted Scicide. ?Last night, about half-past 7 o'clock, there was a fearful outcry of "mur? der." in tho upper part of the city. Excited people hurried in the direction of the sounds, when it was found that the uwful screams proceeded from a woman who had received her death wound from her husband, ut the board? ing-house of Mr. E. Huut, on Maic street, near Etrxiwood avenue. The nume of the wife-murderer is John B. Harrington, a native of Newberry, S. C, who, shortly after the lute war, removed to France, where he married. It appears that husband aud wife disa? greed, aud several times recently harsh words passed between them?he threatening to take her life. Last night, this j.irnng was renewed, and ho stabbed her in the neck, penetrating the jugular vein, and, as is supposed, stabbing himself several times in the breast, near the heart. The wounded woman rushed to the window of the bed-room and gave the alarm, and then fell back? ward. When Mr. Hunt and other per? sons entered the room, husband Und wife were found lying by the side of the bed, in a puddle of blood. Mrs. Harrington was placed upon the bed, where hhe expired in a few minutes. Medical attendance was summoned,and the wonnds of Mr. H. (which be says were inflicted by his wife) were- at? tended to. He conversed pretty freely with Dr. Hydrick and other persons? in French and English?apparently perfectly cool and calm; declared that his wise stabbed him first; and that he wounded her in self-defence. Hrr rington is -respectably oonneoted in Newberry, is a moulder by trade, and has been at work for some time with Messrs. Goldsmith & Kind. Three interesting children?the eldest seven years old?are the result of this ill fated union.- The supposition is that Harrington, after using the knife?a wooden-handled instrument, about four inches long?attempted to com? mit suicide.
