COLUMBIA, S. a Sunday Morning. Ootober 25,1874. Notice to Q,alt. The feeling is growing atrong in the Republican ranks that the third term aspirations of Gen. Grant have had much to do with the results of the Western elections. Men who have themselves encouraged the idea, who have oonstrnoted argaments, ransacked history, examined precedents to try to bolster it, begin to see things in a now light. They fear that what ooourred in Indiana and Ohio, will likewise oc? cur in New York and Pennsylvania. In their alarm they propose that tho Preaident shall formally and positively withdraw his name as a candidate, and pnt on record that he does not want to be elected for a third term. The New York Times has taken a stand on the subject, which hoB brought down on its devoted bead tho animadversion of the newer organ, tho Republic, wbioh stands nearer tho throne. The Times sticks, however, nnd is leading the moreenlightened opinion in opposition to tho continued compromise which Presidential schomo and the Presi? dential hopes aro producing in thej party. Pokor Jack's Convention at Chattauooga hungored und thirsted after a third term nomination, nnd broke up, grieved that policy and positive orders, and the news of the elections in Ohio and Iudiana, com? pelled them to falter in tho course whioh the flunky Sooth Caroliua and Florida conventions pursued. For be it understood that greedy as Gen. Grant is for another torm at Washing? ton, much as ho loves the loaves aud fishes of office, fond us he is of abso? lute control over Southern satrapies, through the manipulations of men liko Pattoison, Kollogg, and his At? torney Landaulct Williams, he dreaded the effect of another such demonstra? tion in bis favor as Patterson had engineered through in Columbia. So Pokor Jack's Convention could not fire its big gun, and threw ull its comic and ridiculous weight into the scale of outrages made to order, and the glit? tering generalities of human liberty and American oitizenship. But will the President retire from the field in good order? He is a tena? cious man, with unbounded confidence in Grant, and immense love of power and pelf. He has no resources whioh fit him fur a life of seclusion. He has no devotion to anything but snch as office and pusitiou afford. To ieuve Washington would be to him like Adam's picking his solitary way ont of Paradise. We will not say that he will not make the disolaimer required of m*m, SuS no uu iiu> uontJTO lunv ud will. Tf, however, he should do it eventually, he will hate it mortally as a dire necessity, and ezaot ita fall value. The storm whioh those will have to face who may go further than they have yet done, and venture to anggeat to him that he is in tho way, an inoumbranoe, an obstaole, will be more terrific than the gentlemen dele? gates from the Tax-Payers' Conven? tion were compelled to t icounter in the White House. ? ? ?? Secretary Hayne'* Caret. The card of Secretary of State Hayne speaks for itself. We oan assure him that it gave ub no pleasure to animad? vert upon what was reported to us ub his official refusal to oountersign the commissions of the Commissioners of Election appointed by the Governor. We have always found Mr. Hayne ef? ficient in duty and oonrteous in man? ner. But in showing the fallaoy of the position attributed to him, we con? ceived ourselves to be in tho lino of o public duty. Wo ore gratified to leurn that bis view of his official responsi? bility in this matter is tho same as oars, and that only a temporary ab? sence from bis office prevented his making out the commissions promptly on Friday. -?-??-?

Columbia, 8. C, Ootober 21, 1871. To the Editor of the Daily Phoenix? Sin: In jonr isano ol this morning is in editorial to the effect thai I have refused to commission the Commis? sioners of Election, as appointed by the Governor in his prooiamation of the 22 i instant. In justice to myself, I most say that you have been totally misinformed as to my action in the matter, in proof of which, I would statu that I am now engaged iu making the recent appointments n matter of official record and in forwarding com? missions lo the purties appointed. I trast that the knowledge of my duty in tho premises is sufficient to restrain me from taking the courso attributed to me in your editorial above referred to. Very respectfully. &o., H. E HAYNE, Secretary of State. ? mi ? > Mo. Editok: Your well-timed re? marks, a few days ago, announcing that Col. Dodamead, notwithstanding tho flittering offers made him to go elsewhere, bad still determined to re? main among us, afforded genuine satis? faction to bis many friends in tho up country. Col. Dodamead, since his advent icto the State, aud assuming control of the affairs of the Greenville and Columbia Railroad, iu doing everything in the power of an enlarged experience in railroad matters to put this road in first class running order, oommensurate with tho growing wants of the people of the up-country, nud, considering the limited resources of means, or credit, ut bis command, with tho road itself heavily weighed down with debt, and no provision to meet it, has deserved well of the peo? ple of the State and tho host friouds of tho road, and merits and receives their thanks for what be has done under the difficulties of the situation. With an exchequer always cramped, if not de? pleted, iu the effort to meet the inte? rest on tho debt, created prior to Col. Dodamead's taking charge of the road, and at tho same timo to moot current expenses, the wonder is that he has been able to do so much under the cir? cumstances. The condition of the road as fur us Newberry and at the Greenville end, under tho touch of steady improve? ment, in laying dowu new rail aud other needed repairs to roud bed und traok, will compare favorably with the majority of roads South. May this steady, unceusiug stride of improve? ment, inaugurated by Col. Dodamead, oontiuue without interruption till the entire leugth of this roud, running as it does through the most productive por? tions of the State, be placed iu first class order, und its net earnings bo Buch at no distant day, after defraying all current expenses, as to enable him, as is well known he desires, to erect suitable passenger depots at the differ? ent towns and stations along the whole lino. At all events, the State, now needing more thau she possesses of the oapital of skilled labor and experience, or moneyed capital, would witness with regret the departure of any of her citizens who, through tho one or the other, has contributed to her ad? vantage and material prosperity; white she is pleased to have the opportunity to welcome to the -advantages of her teeming soil aud magnificent climate all persons coming within her limits, and giving her the benefit of good citi? zenship, either in contributing the valuable capital of skilled labor und energetic action, or the capital of money and practical experience. Tor these and other similar reasous, I was pleased to note your cheering words, acknowledging in terms of commenda? tion the value to the State of the ser vioes of Col. Dodamead, und othors in representative position liko himself, quietly doing all in their power, with the limited means nt their command, to improve, build up aud enlarge tho material progress and best interests of the State. UP-COUNTRY. ? ?'It Might Have Been."?The country now sees, we presume, the terrific blunder it made iu defeating Horace Greeley for President. "Re c nciliation," the watch-word of that campaign, would, with Greeley's elec? tion, have been an accomplished fact, v .ood feeling would have been restored between the sections, as well us be? tween the races, and peaco und pros? perity would have blessed thu land. Timo has fully vindicated the necessi? ty of tiie Cincinnati movement, aud the fatul mistako that it was not car? ried through to success. {Syracuse (N. Y.) Courier. The Nashville Union and American says of the accident to the soldier train on the Mobile and Ohio Railroad: "The soldiers were commanded by a lieuteuuut-colonol, who, as Boon as tho accident occurred, jumped to tho con? clusion that it had been brought about by a murderous band of Ku Klux, aud ho immediately ordered his men to load and form iu line. Then he blocked out a despatch to seud to Washington, but, before suuding it, learned that tho accident hud resulted from a broken fiango of a driving wheel, and tho messuge was not sent." Alabama.?A New York Times cot respondent couoedes that Alabama will go Democratic ut tho uoxl clcotiou. lie says: Tho DcmooratH are sure to make a not gain of two Congressmen iu Ala? bama; they may do eveu more, for after that marvelous result in Ohio it is difficult to imagine what thoy can? not do in a Southern State. This must be pleasant reading for Attorney-General Williams. The soon? er he is sent to Siberia the better for everybody. Destitution in Kansas.?The West? ern papers are publishing appeal* for charity in behalf of the destitute in Kansas. One of these calls, from Smith Oounty, declares that the mea? sures taken by the Legislature are worse than useless, and upbraids the Governor with n "narrow pride" in "asserting, in tho face of the plainest evidenoe, that Kansas is able and will? ing to tnke oare of her own poor." The oommiltee who make this appeal say that tbey must have assistanoo "ten-fold greater than the Legisla? ture's sohemo cau afford, and greater than tho State of Kansas can supply;" that twenty Counties, with a popula? tion ruogiug from 2,000 to G,??0 oaoh, are almost destitute of food. The case of Smith CouDty, for instuuoe, is, tliut of its 5,000 people, 2,000 will be wholly dependent on oburity within two months, and of tho 3,000 remain? ing, not fifty families have a surplus of provisions for themsolves, without ex ponding a pouud of graiu in support of tboir teams, wbiob are, to the farmer, indispensable. An absolute community of foot], they estimate, would not supply their families until April 1. Tbeso people, say tbo com? mittee, are iu rags, moneyless, re sourceless; and tho farmers of the Eastern portion of the State, though comparatively sparod, uro yet too crip plod by tho disusters'of drought, lo? custs and chinch bugs to bo able to do much more thau take caro of them? selves. It is very hard, they say, to realize that persons iu euoh u country as oars cue diu of hunger, yet, that is, without exaggeration, tbo condition of tbo people ot Western Kansas. A little help will ouublo them to retain their homes; without it, tho homesteads will bo desolate, aud bouca tbey ap? peal to people of the more favored por? tions of tho couutry for assistance. Carvet-Baggers.?At a recent meet? ing of the oolorod pooplo of Boston, called to express sympathy with tbeir race in the South, under tho outrages to which it is alleged they are subject? ed, ono Dr. Brown, a colored tauu, mado a speech, iu which be told Rome very plain truth. Tho doctor Baid: "Tho origin of all the black nun's troubles since tbo war was that he took too much to tbo carpet baggers, who bad no reputation ut stake. Those carpet-bagger.i went South and made tools of the black men, and rubbed the government und the colored people. These Northern carpet-baggers have clearly proveu to the people of this country that tbey are the enemies of the colored mau instead of, as tbey wotild make us believe, our friends. (A voice, "Yes, that is true.'*) If tbeeo carpet-baggers bad kept away and let the colored people alone, tbey would bavo been much better off to? day. (A voice, "That's trno.") Now wo must consider aud judge this mat? ter, and as American citizens wo must tell the coldred people of the South not to allow whito men or Northern carpet baggers to make tools of tbem to act aud judgo the course they must pursue iu their trouble. A good patent is like a well-cooked dinner?a very good thing to have iu the house. Nobody, for instance, would object to possessing that of Mr. Qaii&hue. He invented a machine for peggiug shoes. Tbo patent expired iu 1873. Congress is, however, to be nsked to extend it. Iu the meanwhile suit bus been ontered to oompel all parties using Gallahno machines to still pay a royulty of ono oent per each pair of shoes pegged. That does not seem much; yet if it could be enforced, the sum total in Mr. Gailahue's pocket would bo enough to make anybody else turn a gala huo for joy, being no less than 8800,000 annually. The trial of this patent case will be a great ovent in Boston. The pateuteo bus uulimited money, aud tbo contestants have al? ready raised $100,000 to pay law ex? penses. . The Rev. A. S. Bettelheiui, Rabbi congregation Beth Ahabuh, of Rich? mond, ban uddreseed a circular to tho learned Hebrews of the couutry, ask? ing tboir co operatiou in the work of making a now translation of the He? brew Scriptures. The Doctor ex? presses great confidence iu the ability of America to furnish the talent to make a proper aud uubiased transla? tion of the Masoretio text of tbe Bible, and proposes to call a convention for the purposo of facilitating the enter? prise, as soon as a snflicieut number of co-laborers are obtained. Tbe transla? tion now used is Leeser'e, a work of great value, but defective, siuoe philo? sophy, geography, nrtfbtoology, .fco., have thrown so much light upon holy writ. The Business Outlook?Tho re ceut announcement of business fail? ures in New York and etsowbero, the New York Herald holds, is of little siguitiounco, except to houses immedi? ately interested. Nobody iuterprets them as premonitory symptom* of an? other panic Tho goueral business of tho couutry id too contracted and too cautiously conducted to admit of a wide cdlapso. There is nothing sur? prising, certainly nothing alarming, iu the fact that a few houses which barely rubbed through the embarrassments of lust year by the lenioucy of creditors or tbo assistance of friends, lind them? selves unable to go on. Tbeir hopes of getting through depended on n full revival of business this autumu, which bus proved n Vaiu expectation. ? -*? ? Tue Difference ?Tbo only differ? ence between Adam aud Beechor is this: OUl Adam said: "The woman temptt-d nio and I did eat." Beeober says: "Tho womau tcmptod me and I did not eat." Iu either oaso, accord? ing to Col. Susan 13. Anthony, tho woman gets tho blntno. SrsTEM Bun Down.?Parsons often allow tl e r systems to "run do vd," . r rather ran them down by overwork, accompanied by a neglect of tbe proper means of iavigoratiou. Tbe result is what is called "general debility;" in other words, a failure and partial col? lapse of tbe physical forces, accompa? nied usually by great depression of spirits. The best remedy in sach cases is Hoetetter's Stomach Bitters. Whether the state of exhaustion has beeu brought on by excessive physicil labor, dissipation, anxiety of mind, exposure, or any olhor cause, tho reined ill effect of this gnat stomuchio will be found equally prompt and certain. As a restorative after severe sickness has prostrated the bodily and mental ener? gies, it is pronounced by competent modical authority the best touic in use. If men wero not foolishly circles* about their health, and over confident in themselves, they would always, when eugaged iu any work that re? quired! great exertion, use correspond? ing means of sustaining their streng! h. For this purpose Hjstetter's Bitters nie invaluable. All toilers should US ? them as an invigoraut. For tlio^e ojustuntly cm ploy cd in iu door occupations, especially ill crowded wo.k-shopi, they m ?y be reckoned a* the very best safcgiiuid of | health. Wheie there is a pre-dispo* -, tiou to constipation, or u teudeucy to ! biliousness they may be truly said to j bo a (specific for which there is no sub i stitute. If there i* a man or woman j who has over tried it for indigestion : without being benelited, the fact has not transpired. Universal, uucuutra dicted praise avouches its wouderlul touic virtues. Oct 22 f I Kc Kli-x in a New Hamp?iiiku Bank ?ftix masked ineu entered the room oi thu cishicr of the Souheg tu National Bank, Miltord, gagged him, put u rope around his neck, shut his wife and four children and servant iu a closet, und dragged him lo the bank and made him open the vault, which they robbed of about Si 500 in cur? rency aud S3 UU? to 520, UUU in bonds, mostly Governments uud some other securities. They thru led him b ick to the bouse, tied him to the bed-post and left. Toe lumily foiced open the closet about 1 o'clock aud gave the I alarm, but un trucu of tbe robbers could bo discovered. The amount id securities taken must approach ?100.- \ 000. W. B. L'owue, J. Fiiemun und j C S. Averiii uro heavy losers, having! had securities deposited for safe keep- j ing. A portion of the b mils taken | arc registered, and, therefore, uot available. Later particulars show that tho robbery was undoubtedly the work of professionals. Mr. Sawyer, cashier, had boeu in the habit of leaving the koy of the bunk at the post office iu order to guard against such a scheme as that followed out by toe robbers. The robbers were aware ot this, aud after placing a cord around Mr. Saw? yer's ueck to prevent any outcry, forced him to accompany them by threatening to kill his babe in case he refused to comply with their demands.; Arriving at the post office the robbers effected an entrance by removing a pano of glass with a diamond, anel the keys of the bank were in their posses? sion. Tuhninu tue Taulbs ?A Gorman clergyman who was traveling stopped ut u hotel much frequented by wags and jokers. The host, not being used to have a clergyman at bis table, looked ut him with surprise; the guests used nil their artillery of wit upon him without elicitiug a remark. The clergymnn ate Iiis dinner quietly, apparently without observing the gibes and sneers of his neighbors. Oue of them, at last, iu despair at bis forbearance, said to him: "Well, I wonder at your pationce! Have you uot heard all that has been Suid to you?'' "Oh, yes; but I am used to it. Do you know who I am?" "No, sir." "Well, I will inform you. I am chap? lain of a lunatic asylum; such remarks have no effect upon me." A Mr. Asbury, living near Scyeno, Texas, had, ou Monday last, fifteen of what are known as "screw flies" taken from his throat, in which they were imbedded. Mr. Asbury was removing this species of worm or fly from u bruised shoulder of one of his horses some time a?o, and in some way, it is supposed, they got upon his porsou aud dually iuto his llesb. Iiis nose, thront uud month were very much swollen aud inflamed by their pre? sence. Sad OccL'nitEXCE.?On the evening of the Oth, while going home from the court bouse, Mr. Hardy Purrott, fell from his horse aud fractured his left leg badly. The injuries received have proven more serious than at tirst sup? posed. Notwithstanding skillful treat? ment, s3 mptoms of gangrene appeared, and on Tuesday last, amputation was performed. Mr. Parrott is in a criti? cal condition.?Darlington Southerner. A terrible :-turm iu Kuglaud swept over the Northern section of that coun? try und along its sea-ooast Wednesday, involving tho destruction of a groat amount of property uud of many lives, it is feared, from the losses reported.

Shameful Conduct.?There was au attempt toehold a public political meet? ing last night, at the corner occupied by the Central Bauk, but the outra^ geous conduct of hoys and even men in ^ the crowd prevented the Independent Republicans from being heard. Seve? ral of them ultempted to speak, but the hootings, jeers and general boisterous and shumeful conduct of the crowd, evidently prepared for the occasion, drowned the voices of the speakers, and they were forced to leave tbe stand in disgust. The oity authorities seem to have no control over tho public peace, and speech is only free when ooming from certain quarters.. The regular Republicans attempted to speak, and even tbey were refused a hearing. Staufs on Checks.?The law re? quires every check on a bank to be stamped.

Sobenck's Pulmonio Syrup, Sohenck's Sea Weed Tonic, and Sohenck's Man? drake Pills, are tbe only medicines that will cure Pulmonary Consump? tion. Frequently medicines that will stop a cough will occasion the death of the patient; they look np the liver, stop the circulation of the blood, he? morrhage follows, and, in faot, they clog the action of the very organs that caused the cough. Liver Complaint and Dyspepsia are the oauses 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 restlesmess, the food lying heavily on the stomach, acoompanied with acidity and belching up of wind. These symptoms usually originate from a disordered condition of the stomach or a torpid liver. Persons so aft'eoted, if they take one or two heavy colds, and if the cough in these oases be suddenly oheoked, will find the stomach and liver clogged, remaining torpid and inactive, and al? most before they are aware, the lungs are a mass of sores and ulcerated, the I result of which is death. ' Sohenck's Pulmonio Syrup is an ex? pectorant, which does not contain opium or anything calculated to check a cough suddenly. Scbenok'8 Sea Weed Tonio dissolves tbe food, mixes with tho gastric juices j of the stomach, aids digestion and I creates a ravenous appetite. When tho bowels are oostive, skin ! sallow or the symptoms otherwise of u j bilious tendeney, Scbenck's Mandrake ; Pills are required. These medicines are prepared only I by J. H. Schekck & Sou, N.
