COLUMBIA, S. C. Wednesday Morning. Ootober 21,1874 Thi Public Debt. We have a statement from New Or? leans that a duly commissioned repre? sentative of European capitalists, holding upwards of $200,000,000 of bonds of the Southern States, had ef? fected an arrangement with the States of Virginia, Soath and North Carolina, Alabama and Arkansas, throngh their respeotive Governors, by which the bonds are to be funded, principal and interest, to draw interest at fonr or five per cent., and tbe time of tboir payment to be extended to thirty years. It is stated that, in considera? tion of this indulgence, the States are to enter into agreement to provide, by taxation, a sinking fand for the re? demption of the principal and pay? ment of interest. The amount thus settled on aooount of South Carolina ib put down at $10,000,000. It is fur? ther added, that her 8,000,000 fraudu? lent debt has not been settled, but ne? gotiations looking to an adjustment aroin progress. There may be a commissioner sent out here authorized to treat upon this subject, bat it mast be a mistake that any arrangement baa been made with she authorities of South Carolina to settle 10,000,000 of foreign debt. Sooth Carolina owes no auoh foreign debt, and not the half of it. Nor is tbe fraudulent debt, consisting of con? version bonds, bonds hypothecated contrary to law, and bogus pay certifi? cates, held abroad. Foreigners can have nothing to do with it, except, perhaps, to get it out of the way of their own juat claims. Upon tho whole, the statements from New Oricans of these transactions are improbable in several respects. They are acceptable, however, if they may be taken as an indication of leniency to be exorcised towards us by tbe foreign bondholders. Tho Act passed last winter to reduce the volume of tbe public debt, and to provide for its payment, is viewed with a good deal of oomplooecoy by some persona. It is olaimed bb a positive denunciation of tbe debt, and sported as a feather in the cap of the State ad? ministration. The portion of tho Aot wbioh threw overboard the conversion bonds, amounting to nearly six mil? lion, as pat upoa the market "with? out any authority of law," was just and neeessary. It branded a fraud with legislative condemnations, although the legislative validation of these bonds iwc years before excites our ap? prehensions that it may be attempted again. The other part of tbe Aot, by which it is proposed to issue to hold? ers of bonds and stocks, upon their surrender, other bonds and stocks, in the proportion of fifty per oentum of tbeir face value, is very good to think about, bat we mast remember that it takes two to make a bargain. If the creditor should say nay to euch a proposition, we could not help our? selves. We have never thought, there? fore, that it would amount to muob, except with those parties who had dabbled in oar stocks to tbeir cost, and find themselves left in possession of bonds of doubtful validity, or who have a connection with some of tbe bond or other plundering rings. Suoh peopio Hb iu?a? n??lu be gl?u to got even less than fifty cents for bonds in their hands, whioh, perhaps, cost them nothing, or whioh tbey hold in tbe interest of a dissolving ring, de? sirous to realize upon almost any terms. Tho time has not oomo to sot tie the public debt yet. The parties are not in power in whom confidence can be placed as to any arrangements they may entor into. The more tbey tinker at tbe debt, tbe less confidence they inspire. Distrust would be felt of any present adjustment, as tbe work of weak and unprincipled men, not au? thorized in their oharaoter and capa? city to stand between tbe honorable men who have gone before tbem, and tbe generation which is to follow, and which, in finanoiai matters, as in ail] others, will prefer to look back for their lessons behind the present era and the men now upon tbe stago. Tbe valid debt will, somo day, be paid in fall. The fraudulent, contracted with? out authority, by persans betraying their trusts and tbe State equally, will be ascertained and repudiated, as it should be. Meanwhile, any stay, any liberal and indulgent arrangement whioh oreditors offer, in order to give time to the Stato to rocovor itself and to reouperate its resouroos of moans and oharaoter, will, of course, bo ac? ceptable to us and wiso in thorn. It may be a shrewd devico on tho part of capitalists to prevent the catastrophe of the entire loss of tbeir claims. Amendments to the State Consti? tution.?Three proposed amendments to the Constitution of the Btato of Sooth Carolina will be submitted to tbe people on tbe third day of Novem? ber. Tbey are: 1. To ohnngo tbe boundary lino of Piokena and Ooouee Counties, bo tbat Tnxaway River shall take the place- of White Water River. 2. To add tbo following article, to bo known as Article XVII: Tbe General Assembly shall not an thorize any Couuty, city, town or vil? lage to become a stockholder in, or to loan its credit to, auy comp my, asso? ciation or corporation, for any amount in exoess of five per oentum of the as? sessed value of tbe taxable property of auch County, oity, towu or village, nor without the approval of a majority of tbe legal voters of euch County, oity, town or village, expressed at an election duly held according to law. 3. To ameud tho Constitution so us to mako tbo term of office of certain State officers two years iustcud of four. It reads thus: Section 23. There shall bo elected, by tbe qualified voters of tbe Stute, a Comptroller-General, Secretary of State, Treasurer, Attorney-General, Adjutant and Inspector-General and Superintendent of Education, who Bhnll hold their respeclivo offices for the term of two years, and whose du? ties and compeusatiou shall be pre? scribed by law. Bayonets PitEFEmutD.?A speoial despatob to tbe Baltimore Sun, dated Washington, October IS, says: Information from South Carolina, received upon tbe word of a gentleman who has traveled extensively through tbo State, is to tbe effeot that a peti? tion is being circulated and Humorous? ly signed at Columbia by Conserva? tives, Boiioiting the United States Go? vernment to resume military control of the State, on the ground that the peo? ple surrendered to tbe Union armies, and not to an irrepressible body of ad? venturers and carpet-baggers, who have systematically plundered the peo? ple, taxed property out of existence and ruined the financial credit of the State. This petition is kept secret for the present, so as not to effect a remote possibility of Greene's election over Chamberlain. Tho present House of Representa? tives?Forty-third Congress?is com? posed of 292 Representatives and 10 delegates from the Territories. Ac? cording to MoPheraon'a Manual, they are divided as follows: Republicans 194, Democrats 93, Liberals 6. The Republicans, therefore, have a majo? rity of 101 over the Democrats and 95 over both Democrats and Liberals. The complexion of tbo next Congress will, of course, bo materially changed. From present advioes 108 members have beeu elected to tho next House. Of these 52 uto IV-publicans and 5C Democrats. The same States send to the present Congress 76 Republicans and 32 Democrats. If tho Democrats gain in tho same ratio in the- States which are yet to elect, they will bavo 150 members in the next House?a ma? jority of 13 over tbo Republicans and of 8 over both Liberals and Republi? cans; or if tbe Liberals vote with them, of 18 over tbe Administration Republicans. This fuct is a source of muoh anxiety on tbe part of tho Ad? ministration office-holders, and must be a Bource of sorrowful reflection to Speaker Blaine, Mr. Dawes, Gen. Gar field, Gon. Butler, Judge Eelley and other prominent chairmen of commit? tees. Singers in School ?The ladies of tbo Atlanta Industrial School, which is now in successful operation, endorse the new improved light running Singer Sewing Machine as "the only machine capable of accomplishing tbo wide range and great variety of work" thoy are teaching their patrons. This en? dorsement ooming, as it does, from nu association of lodges who havo made domestio duties tho study of their lives, ?nd who are now teaching them with remurkable success, is undoubt? edly tbe highest recommendation auy sewing maohiuo has ever received. Its sales out-number those of auy other machine two to one, and in many sec? tions nine to one; it is tbe easiest to operate, tbo best to use, tbo simplest, the speediest, proved the must dura? ble und the most reliable, and, there? fore, these ladies^had good reason for adopting tbe Singer in preference to all others. Its ngents uro accomplished in all the details of work it is capable of doing, are gentlemcu and will pleaso tbe most fastidious. With all these advantages, no wonder the Hinger is the most popular. No won? der the Singer looks forward to tbe day when it will be the only maohiuo in general use.?Atlanta Constitution. -? ? -? The annual report of tbo Western Union Telegraph shows that tho profits on tue eight years' business, with a present capital of S33.785.000, bavo j been $23,100,000, of which 88,000,000 has been distributed in dividends, tho rest having been expended iu new ac? quisitions and improvements. The fiscal year, ending Jano 30, shows a falling off of $70,000 in gross roooipts, $250.000 in net profits, on account of the redaction of rates and tbo dullness in business. The present calendar year, however, shows an inoreaso in tbo profits amounting to $100,000 u month for the seven months ending September 30. The electricians of tbo company bavo perfected a now in? vention, more wonderful thou Steam's duplex, by which two messages can be sent each way over ono wire at tbe same time, in all, four simultaneous messages, which is now in successful operation between New York and Boston. Thk Toboh ik Georoia.?Mr. F. Dopree's residenoe, near Griffin, was destroyed by fire, Friday, and it is feared that hi* three children perished in ine names. The gio-bouBo of Mr. Alex. Thomp? son, of Houston County, was burned Friday morning. On Friday night, the gin-house of Mr. T. J. Gator, in tbe same neighborhood, was burned. The gin-house of Mr. Thomas My? ers, on his place, near Danville, was destroyed by tire, on Wednesday 0 ig Lit last. The tiro is supposed to have been accidental. Loss about $800. An unprincipled incendiary at? tempted to burn tbe gin-house of W. E. Parromore, near Columbus, ou Thursday. Tbo smoke was seen and an alurm given in timo to prevent tbe destruction of the gin-boii6e, though considerable damage was doue to u pile of seed cotton. It is thought tbe incendiary, a negro, is known, und will bo arrested. A uegro woman, living on tbo.place of Flem Dupree, in Spauldiug County, wont to the cotton field tbo other day, 1 leaving ber three little children in the bouse. During ber absence, tbe bouse caught lire and was consumed by the flames, and tbe children burned to death. _ . ^ ? -? - - Tue Illinois "Southern Outrage." ?Tbey make less fuss about it in the Egyptian Counties of Illinois. Iu Williamson, for example, where tbe conventional "Democrat" abounds, tbey 6hoot a nigger or a "Republican" once or twice a week, and send bis body borne in a wagon, aud wait pa? tiently, without bearing or seeing any account of tbe performance issued from tbe "Southern outrage fuotory," lence of that enterprising factory, tbey catch a nigger that bus not > ceded their warning to quit tbe State, tio him to a tree, and slash bis back with butcher knives, leaving him to die or to be resoned from death by some chari? table person who may not be in tbe habit of voting tbe "Democratic" tickot. And still tbey wait in vain for an account of their patriotio exploit from tbo "Southern outrugo factory." Why is it that tbe "Southern outrage factory" so persistently limits its labors in tbe dissemination of popular infor? mation to Democratic doings South of the Ohio Itiver, when there is a field quite na prolific in its yield of Demo? cratic fruits, and with plenty of that stylo of political workers in it, in tbe Southern part of Illinois? Is not Illi? nois entitled to a tittle respeot, if uota few troops, from tbe "Southern out? rage factory?"?Chicago Times. The Hoot on T'otheh Leo.?A num? ber of prominent Republicans assem? bled at tbe Fifth Avenue Hotel, on Tuesday night, all prepared for a grand jollification, over tbo good news which tbey expected to receive from tbo elcotious in Ohio aud Indi? ana. As the ovouiug woro away, tbey began to look gloomy. Tbe uews did not oome in as they expected. They could get nothing to jollify over, and by 11 o'clock they Lad all gone?no one know where. They departed without oven a sheer. This gloom is nothing compared to that which will take bold of them on tbo night of tbe 3d of November, when tbo news of tbe politioal death of the third tormites will fltsh over tbe wires, announcing an overwhelming Democratic triumph in tbo Empire State.?N. Y. World. The Savannah Daily Sun, of tbe 18th lust., gives tbe following account of a very distressing accident: "About 11 o'clock P. M., last Thursday, Charlie, the only son of Mr. Chas U. Farmer, a planter, twelve miles from Dawson, in Terrell Couuty, while playing around tbe cotton gin on bis father's plantation, wbicb wus in mo? tion at the time, was oangbt by the gearing and thrown headlong against tbo larger cog wheel, breaking his neck and otherwise injuring tbe child internally, from which be died almost instantly. The little boy was nearly ton years of ago. handsome, intelligent and hearty. At the timo of tbo sad occurrence, bis mother was iu this city." ? ? ?? ? ? Shall Cuisamen Vote??It has been discovered iu San Francisco that the revised statutes of tbo last Congress have nuthori'/sd the naturalization of tbo Chinese and any other adult males of the yellow race. Tbo old law of 1802 declared tbat "any alien, being a freo wbito persou," may be admitted to become a citizen, etc. In 1870 the provision was extended to cover "aliens of African nativity and per? sons of African descent." Tbo re? vision uses the words of tbo law of 1802, omitting "being a free wbito per? son," and inserts tbo law of 1870 about Africans. The law, therefore, as now stauding, broaks down all harriers of roco or descent wbiob California bas hitherto successfully opposod. .? Dull Times Abroad.?Tbo decline of trade wbicb has been so marked in tbo United States bas not, it seems, been confined to this country. From tbo quarterly account of British reve? nue, wbicb bas just reacbed bcro, it is shown tbat tbero bas beou a very sen? sible- diminution iu tbo trade of tbat omptro. The recent reduction of tax? ation made by the English ministry has, of course, something to do with the falling off in tbe revenue, but tbo largest portion of tbo decrease is from other items. For tbe qnnrtor ending September 20 tbodecreaso wus ? 1,800, 815, tbo dooreaso in customs being ?110,000, or leas than ouotbird of tbo total decrease.

Brown are to be welcomed back to the Demooratio ranks and honored and tmated, then political treachery and dishonesty mnat be considered virtues, and it is time to canonize tho betrayer of the Saviour.

Consumption Can Be Cured.? Scbenok'a Pulmouio Syrup, Sohenck'a Sea Weed Tonic, and Sobenck's Man? drake Pills, are the only medicines that will oure Pulmonary Consump? tion. Frequently medicines that will stop a cough will occasion the death of the patient; they look op the liver, stop the circulation of the blood, he? morrhage follows, and, in faot, they olog the action of the very organs that caused the cough. Liver Complaint und Dyspepsia are the causes of two-thirds of the cases of Consumption. Many persons com? plain of a dull pain in the side, consti? pation, coated tongue, pain iu the shoulder-blade, feelings of drowsiness and reRtles-iuefls, the food lying heavily on the stomach, accompanied with acidity and belching up of wind. These symptoms usually originate from a disordered condition of tho stomach or a torpid liver. Persons so affeoted, if they take one or two heavy colds, and if the cough iu these oases be suddenly checked, will find the stomaoh and liver clogged, remaining torpid and inaotive, and al? most before they are aware, the lungs are a mass of sores and ulcerated, the result of which is death. Sobenck's Palmocio Syrup is an ex? pectorant, whioh does not oontain opium or anything calculated to check a cough suddenly. Sohenok's Sea Weed Tonio dissolves the food, mixes with the gastric juices of the stomach, aids digestion and creates a ravenous appetite. When the bowels are costive, skin sallow or the symptoms otherwise of a bilious tendency, Sobonok's Mandrake Pills are required. These medioines are prepared only by J. H. Schenck & Son, N. E. corner Sixth and Arch streets, Philadelphia, and are for sale by all druggists and dealers. Cot 1 If 13 An Autumn Suggestion.?Now, aa heavy fogs arise and searching winds commence to blow; now, as the human body, exhausted like inanimate natnre by the beats of summer, begins to wilt and droop; now, ere the inclement weather makes its trying onset; now is the timo for a preparatory course of the best acclimatizing medicine in ex? istence, Hostetter's Stomaoh Bitters. Fever and Ague is rampant in all parts of the country. Quinine, the physicians admit, will not quell the phase of tho disease whioh at present pervades the entire West. It is well that it is so, for the remedy (so-called) is deadlier than the malady. But if quinine is inefficient in intermittent fevers, Hostetter's Bitters is irresisti? ble It would be safe to make a eon trait, under heavy penalties, that any given "fever-and-ague district" should bo exempted from the disorder for any particular time, provided every inha? bitant would take the Bitters accord? ing to directions daring the.term of contract. There has never been an in? stance in which this sterling invigo rant and auti-ferbile medicine has failed to ward off the oomplaint, when takon duly as a protection against ma? laria. Hundreds of physicians have abandoned all tbo offioinal specifics, and now prescribe this harmless vege? table touio, and nothing else, as a pre? ventive and oure for all the forms of obilla and fever. Vigor is the thing most needful iu these oases, as well as in dyspepsia and nervons affections, and Hostetter's Bitters are the safest, ! barest and most wholesome strength? ening preparation that human skill has yet concocted. 016tf[l
