Sand ay Horning, October 11,1874. Kcboti Of the ?orthern Prem. Oar affairs continue to interest the journals of the North. They give their opinions pretty freely of oar con? dition, oar policy, oar candidates lor office, and the prospects we have of recovering honest government and prosperity "ohoe more. Of coarse they' speak according, to political bias and ueoiianal feeling, more or less. Some think we ,are criminals, while others consider ub ill used. Somo write about nsiiko sensible men, others like mad? men, fools, fanatios and knaves. Just now we flud several respectable news? papers ooDsideriag what is best for us to do in the present emergency; how we are best to secure the great object of a decent, economical and honest government. The New York Times advises "tho tax-payers, if they are wise, to do their best to aid this new movement for good government in the State (the Independent Republican) and not to embarrass it by making any nomination of their own for Go? vernor.'* The Louisville Courier-Juur nal feels assured that "if a fair election should be obtained, the defeat of Chamberlain would be certain."' The New York Tribune sayaj . 4 'Reform is the sole id en of the boh from Chamberlain's nomination in South Carolina, aa set forth in tho resolutions o( tun Independent Re? publican Convention. They proclaim themselves not, hostile to republican prinoiples; they only oppose leaders whom they cannot trust. Their pro? ceedings seem to Lave been marked by moderation, and. they bave strong hopes of turning the scale ia the go? vernment of the State." The New York Sun has this to say: '?Tho Independent Republican movement in South' Carolina looks formidable, as there is manifested a strong disposition among the Con? servative voters in many parts of the State to support it. It is quite proba? ble that the ticket will be sapportod by the mass of the white voters, simply because they do not think that Green and Delany are thieves, while they believe that Chamberlain and all his crew are horribly corrupt." We will make only one other quota? tion, and that for the benefit of our friends who have expressed a desire to ran a straight dot Conserraitve ticket. By-tho way, all. these passages which we quote were written before the ac? tion of the Conservative Convention was taken, and appear in Thursday's issue. Averse as the New York World is to the compromise of any principle, it inclines to the opinion that the pjlicy we have taken was the very best possible for us. "It looks," it says, "a* if tue Conservatives might be forced to the conclusion, that the only way to get the State out of its present misera? ble plight, is to accept the situation as presented by the bolters. Judge Greene, if not a Conservative, is still a man c! exonllent reputation for ho? nesty, which Chamberlain is not; and, furthermore, <he is a native Carolinian, and has ability. A Conservative Go? vernor ia what South Carolina needs, but Judge 'oreen would bean immense improvement on Scott and Moses." Scoundrelly. Senator Morton recently opened the political campaign in the State of In? diana with a speech, the burden of which was to terii'y the voters with a fearful image of the "outrages" going on in the South against "the Govern? ment" and the "wards of the nation." Morton is known to be unscrupulous and unprincipled. But the attempt has been made to impose him as high authority upon the simple aud credu? lous fools of "tho party" down here. Here is something which he compoaed and sent out as soon as ho had de? livered the speeoh to which we refer. It daguerreotypes tho man com? pletely as a villain of the first water: Rooms Rkp. Statu Central Com ,g Indiana?oms, Sept. 3, 1874. .Editor of Union, Rensselaer, Ind. Dear Sin: I desire to call your at? tention to the horrible scenes of vio? lence nnd bloodshed transpiring throughout tho South, and euggost that you give them as great promi? nence as possible in your paper from Ulis time until after the election. THOS. J. BRADY, Obairmau. If wo aro to piano any roliauco in the New York Tribune's do3patohea, Kel? logg will Boon havo more to apprehend from his friends than from the White Leaguers. In his own party thero are many indications thut the colored peo plo particularly are becoming dissatis? fied with him and his administration. Several colored Republican clubs in New Orleans are organizing with a view to co operation with tbo Demo erat? agaiuBt misgovernment by politi? cal advontarore, and the movement is ?lowly spreading in the country. In a. Not-Shell. . Tho Nation acknowledges tho receipt from a friend of Mr. Chamberlain's of a reply to many of the charges made against him. 'i'be Nation shows thut the gravamen of jtho aocu^alion against him ia not o?rAotly j $aled. ItK^pro oeeds to d. fine itidifforeotjy, as "guilty knowledge.of und coonivauco at thefts from the pnblio treasury," and to run a comparison between his oaso and that of A Oikey Hall. Neither would make ? good candidate for reform Governor. "Iu Sooth Carolina," it 00ueludes, "the prinoipal duty of a reform magistrate now would be to keep tbo hnuda-of thieves (who are al? ways on tho look-out and have a great many excellent opportunities) out of the publio treasury; in this work Mr. Chamberlain must himself admit thai he lamentably failed while in office. Final? ly, we may add, that the mere fact that a man has not been or evon cannot be oonvioted of felony, is not of itself sufficient reason for electing him to offioa." < m ? ? The Bonds.?As a matter of justice, we copy the following letters of Secre? tary Cardozo and Mr. Solomon, in reply to the oharges of Senator Dunn: Columhia, S. C, Oct. 9, 1874. To Hon. S. W. Melton?Be/m Sik: Ia auswer to your communication of this date, requesting me to state whe? ther Mr. Thomas O. Dunn, of Horry, bad not made abatements to me look-, iog to additional legislation at the next sosslon of tbe Legislature for the purpose of funding what is known as the conversion bonds, I huve to say that, after Senator Dunn's return from New York, be bad oonversatious with me in the rooms of the South Carolina Bunk and Trost Company, in which he said that the conversion bunds ought to be included in the funding aot, and that money could be mado out of it. Ho did not propose auy specific soheme. I do not recall the particu? lars of the conversation, but the par port of it was that he was iu favor of taking up these bonds, and that tho credit of the State would not ho re? stored uutil this was done. Very truly yours, HARDY SOLOMON. Columuia, S. 0.. Oct. 8, 1871. Hon. Samuel IV. Melton,' Attorney General S. C.?Sik: Iu reply to yours of this date, requesting a written state? ment of tbe conversation we held on tbe letters aud report of Senator T. C. Dunn, I have the honor to state, that in tho month of Juue last, Mr. Dunn made a report to mo of what he considered irregularities in the issue of Beveral classes of the bonds author? ized to be funded by tbe General As? sembly last winter. I learnt from you, and afterwards from himself, that he had writteu you, requesting yuu to en? join me and restrain the exeoution of tbe law. Tbe irregularities alleged are these: That the bonds referred to were authorized to be sold withiu twenty four months after the passage of tho Ants, and that be discovered that tho parties to whom tho bonds were hypo? thecated sold them after the expiration of tbe twenty-four months, notwith? standing the hypothecation took place before that period, and the State had received the money authorized* to be raised theroou. This struck me as a very trifling reason iorso grave a step, and that at best such an objeotion would be regarded as merely technical; and knowing Senator Dunn quite well, from a oiosn und oareful observation of bis obarauter for the last two years iu the Senate, und especially his conduct in advocating the payment, of the Blue Ridge scrip lust winter, when hn tried to revive the subject, even after thu Legislature had emphatically refused to pay it, I immediately concluded that tho alleged reason was a mere pre? text, and that Senator Dunu had somu ulterior object in view. I, therefore, set myself to work to find it out. Ia con? versing with Senator Dunu, one day, in my otfije, I asked bim what was bin real object in trying to prevent the exeoutiou of tho Funding Act, which 1 thought so beneficial to the State. He* said he wished the exeoution of the Act delayed, until, by supplemental legislation next winter, he could gut the "conversion bonds" and the "H!uo Ridge scrip" included in tho settle? ment. In further conversation with Senator Dunu, I inferred that this method was pursued to compel mo to withdraw my opposition to these two swindles. This conversation I afterwards communi? cated to you, and authorized you to muke whatever use of it you thought proper. Very respootfully, &c, F. L CARDOZO, Treasurer S. C. A married woman in Mohawk, N. Y., was a prospective mother-in-law and she wanted to find out exactly what kind of a chap ho was who wad courting her daughter. So sho dressed herself in male attiro aud went to u ball where she was certain to meet him. During tbe evening, disguised as it fashionablo young fop, she raa nagod to got into a quarrel with the young man himsolf. Lucking mason line musclo sho was worsted iu u bull room scrimmage. Her now plug bat was smashed down over her face, her nose stopped a well meant blow, and her moustaoho was accidentally pulled off. Thou tho youug man suddenly recognized bis prostrate mother-iu law, and found too late that ho had beeu fighting with tho wrong man. The woman waa sent homo in a carri? age, and the youug man bus not beeu round courting her daughter sinoe. Simon Eogman, a German, commit? ted saioide at New Orleans, yesterday. v Those Fionnoua Outrages. ?In the United States Ooprt, on the 7th, tbe grand jiry were discharged for (be term by Judge Bryan. Tbe only mat? ter? brought before them during tbe term were a few trifling oases for vio? lation Of the revenue laws. In dig missing tbe jury, Judge Bryau referred feelingly to thnriraproved condition of pubtio affairs in the State as indicated by-the absence of all criminal proceed? ings during many months past, and commended the prompt and intelligent dit-pntch of the public business by tbe grand jury. The new law requiring ali jurors to bo able to read nud write has worked admirably. The jury were composed of about no equal number of white aud colored meu. It la Not Trur ?There seems to be au opiuiou prevalent ivitb kooio per bous that thure will be u further post? ponement of the Library Conoert. There is uo ground for this idea.

Those who wiidi to partake of the benefits of the gilts, or to add their mite to tbe suo coaa of the great Library, should not delay an hour to beoome shareholders in the grandest enterprise ever offered to tbe public in this or any. otber country. Tbe E'mira Advertiser says: Henry B.

Tim new colors to be worn this year aro the "Volcano," "Cardinal" and tho "Flower of Sulphur." "Cardinal" is red or aoarlet, after the fashion of a Curdunil's hat; "Volcano'' is desig? nated to represent as to oolor the erup? tion of a burning mountain, and for "Flower of Sulphur," it isn't like any? thing else in the world but flower of sulphur, or a very pale oanary.

It is au interesting if not edifying fact that there are 30,000 individuals in New York city who live on other peo plo's earnings?who are, in fact, pro? fessional thieves. Tuts?, with tho beggars, mako a rather largo depend? ent community for auy oity. These facts are said to conic from the police themselves, which does not speak well for the enforcement of the Act against professional thieves. Tho announcement of tho intentiou of the Austrian Ooverumeut to send out an exploring expedition next your to tbe Arctic regions has stirred up the enterprise and pitrioliBtn of the New York Herald to the point that it oilers to pay oue-tourth of the expense of au Auienouu expedition, to be under tho direction nl our most distinguished Arctic explorer, D . Llays. "What'a your busiuess?" said the magistrate of a police court, tho other morning, to 11 prisoner: "I'm an observjttouist, your worship." "An observation ist I What is that?" "One who looks around in tho day time to so? what ho cm steal at night, if it pleoHos your worship." A timid man wants to know "how to tell u mud dog." Wo don't know what ho wants to toll him, but tho [safest way would bo to communicate with tho dog in writing. Send the let? ter from a gun in the shape of wad? ding, followed by Bmall shot, to see if ho gets it. Invisible Poisons ?Tbe Mediois and tho Borgias fortified their systems with powerful antidotes against tbe subtle poisons with whiob tbey need io destroy tbeir enemies, aud whiob tbey feared might one day be employed against themselves. There are iovisi bio poisons, almost is deadly, against whiob few of as think of takiug any precaution. These banes uro in the air. When the atmosphere is sur-1 charged with them, as it sometimes ia at this season, epidemic fevers ensue. The summer whiob bus just closed has been a most remarkable ouo. The ex halations from the soil huve been, aud are, dense und copious almost beyoud example. These exhalations exercise a pernicious influence ou tlie vital powers, and predifpote the system to diveaHe. livery where people hto com plaining of nuusu.il debility, lassitude aud depressiou. These symptoms are generally foretminers of uu epidemic. Combat them early?before tbey iupso into something worse?rwith Hosteller's Stomach Bitters, the most eff-jctive autiiiuto to malaria that the vegetable kingdom has ever yielded. Its opera? tion is throe-fold?invigorating, depo rative aud auti-bllious. Free from any iugredieut that is in tho slightest de? gree deleterious to health, and contain? ing the juices aud extracts of the rarest medicinal herbs, it is immeusnra bly superior, as a defensive prepara? tion, to any. other tonic, herbal or mineral, at present used in medical practice. A course of Hostotter*? Bit? ters is, humanely speaking, a perfect safeguard against intermittent and re? mittent fevers. Oil J2^[ I CoNSOMPrios Can Be Cuued ? Sdbenck's Pulmonio Syrup, Scheook's Sea Weed Tonic, and Sohenok's Man? drake Pills, are tbe only medicines that will cure Pulmonary Consump? tion. Frequently medicines that will stop a cougti will ocensiou the death of the patient; I hey lock up the liver, stop the circulation of the blood, he? morrhage follows, ami, in fact, they clog the action of the very organs thut caused tho cough. Liver Complaint and Dyspepsia are tho causes of two thirds of tbe cases of Consumption. Many persons com pluiu of a dull pain iu the side, consti? pation, coated tongue, pain iu the shoulder blade, f< clings of drowsiness and restlesiuess, the food lying heavily ou tho stomach, accompanied with acidity und belching up of wind. These symptoms usually originate from a disordered condition of the stomach or a torpid liver. Persons to ufiVcted, if they take oue or two heavy colds, aud if tbo cough iu these cases bo suddenly checked, will find the stomach and liver ologged, remaining torpid and iuaotive, aud al? most before they are aware, the luogs are a mass of sores and ulcerated, the result of which is death. Scbenck's Pulmonio Syrup is an ex? pectorant, which does not coutain opium or anything calculated to check a ooagh suddenly. Sohenok's Sea Weed Tonio dissolves tbe food, mixes with the gastric juices of tbe stomach, aids digestion and creates a ravenous appetite. Wben the bowels are costive, skin sallow or tbe symptoms otherwise of a bilious tendency, Sohenok's Mandrake Pills are required. These medicines tire prepared only by J. H. ScrtiiNCK & Sou, N.
