COLUMBIA, S. C. Tri lay Morning, October 30,1874. United State? Olllxeaanlp and Stain Cttlsenshlp DUtlnet. c la a recent charge to the grand jury? Judge Bland, of Kentnoky, a jurist o! great learning and wide-spread reputa? tion, called in questiou the constitu? tionality of the Act of Congress passed in 1871, to enforce the fourteenth amendment, directing bis striotures particularly to this passage, which re? fers to tho Ku K!sx outrages: "If two or more persous within any State or territory of the United States shall conspire together, or go in dis gauae upon the p'nbiio highway, or upon the premises of another, for the purpose, either direotly or indireotly, to deprive any persons or any class of persons of the equal protection of the laws, or of equal privileges or immu? nities, * * * snob, persona so of? fending shall be deemed guilty of a crime against tho United States." He construes it not to be based on the thirteenth amendment; for it has uo referonoe to slavery. It is uot ap? plicable to tho fifteenth; for it does not provide against the denial of right to vote. It must be based on tho fourteenth amondmont, some words of which it oopies. With reference to ii, the Supreme Court, in the Slaughter? house oases, decides that tho privileges and immunities referred to belong to citizenship of the United States, as would appear alone from the language 3f the first Section: "All persons born or aaturalized in the United States, and subjeot to the juriadiotion thereof, are oitizeus of the United States and of the State wherein -they reside, No State ahull muke or ouforoe any law whioh shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens ?of the United States, nor shall any .State deprive any person of life, liberty or ..property without due process of law, nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction tho equal protestiou uf tho laws." >. It IB equally clear that tho rights *ad privileges abridged by "persons who go in disguise upon tho public highway, or upou tho promises of an? other," in the language of tbu Aot of '71, for the purpose uf committing out? rages, are those whioh attach to the ..citizenship of the State, and whioh are guaranteed and enforoed by State laws. The Act isf then, not in consonance with the amendment, and is not "ap? propriate legislation," calculated to en? force its provisions. The Federal power, whioh has latterly been invoked -upon all occasions, can really only be invoked when the rights guaranteed by this amendment are abridged by - obnoxious State legislation. It la di t rected, aa Judge Bui lord maintains, to the Stole, acting through its legislative, ?ieoytive or judicial department, and not at the note of individuals. This expression of opinion comes i from ? Judge who has always been a Republican, and strongly pronounced in his political faith. His learning has vbeen in the direction of centralization and Federal power as distinguished from States' rights. Besides that, as Judge, ho directed the grand jury to re? turn an indiotment under the section oi the Act applying to Ku Klox outrages at the last term of his court, thus prac? tically enforcing a law whose constitu? tionality he assails, but which is bind iug nntil repealed. It thus looks as if the attempted obliteration of the lines separating State from United States citizenship had not been wholly auc ? ceasf ul. -?*-. ^Daring a drive at Marshfield, a short time before his death, Mr. Webster gave utteranoe to this sentiment: "The man who has not abandoned himself to sensuality feels, us years advance and old age comes on, a greater love of mother earth, a greater -willingness and evoo desire to return to her bosom, and mingle with this universal frame of things from which .he sprang." "As he spoke these words," says Mr. Felton, "with alow and solemn tone, he seemed to look upon the face of nature as upon the faoe of a living being, to whom he was bound by the ties of a conscious friendship and im? mortal love; and the soft wind breath? ing with a warmth like summer, through the unchanged leaves of the neighboring trees, whispered on aaatble answer to the voice and look of Jove of tho dying statesman." Deatus is Sumtek ?Mr. Lawronce Spann, an old and esteemed citizen, died on Thursday, the 221. Miss Anna Wattes departed this life on Wednesday, the 21st instant, at her residence, near Statesburg, at tho age of ninety years.

Sin: The Executive Committee of the Con? servative party have resolved that, iu view of the character aud surroundings of the two Republican tickets, it is de? sirable for the Conservatives to suppui t tho Nash County ticket. For myself, I beg leave to stay that I will uot sup? port the Nash County ticket, not only because I object to his "character and sorroundiugs," but because I object to Nush himsolf, for the reason that ever since ho has been Senator, he has supported tho worst measures which have come before tho General Assem? bly, and which have ruined the State. I will trespass on your patience only to name two or tbree. 1. The bill to promote the consoli? dation of the Greenville aud Columbia Railroad Company and the Blue Ridge Railroad Company, generally known as the Greenville Railroud bill, gave u new and fraudulent mortgage to Henry Clews and others, a lean prior to that of the State, whereby tho se? curity of tbe State was placed in jeo? pardy to tho amount of millions of dol? lars. This bill passed the Senate, March 4, 1871, wttb the help of Mr. Nash's vote. 2 Tho Aot to relievo State of South Carolina of all liability for its guaranty of tho bonds of the Blue Ridge Rail? road Company by providing for the securing and destruction of tbe scrip, generally kuowu as the Blue Ridge Railroad swindle, released the compauy from over $100,000 of debt to the State, directed the State Treasurer to issue to the compauy $1,800,000 of revenue bond scrip, confirmed tho fraudulent sale of $1,310,000 of stock in the company for the trifling sum of $13,100, aud released tho company from the mortgage whioh tho State held against the company's property; for all of which the State never received one r'arthing of' anything. This bill passed the Sonute, over Gov. Scott's veto, March 2, 1872, with the help of Mr. Nash's vote, notwithstanding Mr. Nash had filed in tho Senate, February 22, 1872, his solemn protest against the bill. 3. The Act relating to the bonds of the State of South Carolina, generally kuown as the validating bill, validated all tho bonds issued under tho Soott administration, including the fraudu? lent conversion bonds, to tho amount of nearly $0.000,000. This bill passed the Senate Maroh 12, 1872, with the help of Mr. Nash's vote. I might name olhor bills of tho samo character, but I forbear. Tho troth is, it would be hard to find any corrupt measure which has passed the Senate without the holp of Mr. Nash's vote. I, therefore, do not propose to give my voto to him. CONSERVATIVE.

C>n|ht munufneiui ing Out? rages In Chlrk??aboRa?. One Ol the cleverest and most amtiB ing of tho late Judge Longetreel's tales, in his "Georgia Scenes," is that one in which he gives a sample of "Georgia Then tries." jrxa narrates that he happened, while riding in the "Dark Corner of Lincoln," to surprise an ingenious yonth rehearsing the obaraoters and all the partioalars of n Lincoln Conrt House tight, from the preliminary banter, challenge und olincb, to the final gouge aud surren? der. But truth is always Btranger than fiction, and what Judge Longstrcet prohuhly only imagiued of tho dark otruur of Liucoin, is surpassed by what a clerical gontloman accidental; happened to see tho other day, iu tho eoi uer of Marcngo hard by Wilcox. This story is too good to be lost, tho more especially us it concerns our soamp of u Congressman, Charley Hayn, who tolls a story of goodly pro portions himself upon oocasiou. The Rev. John MoKeo Breed, a Biptist clergyman, being on a sort of circuit in company with his wife, had bdt the railroad ut Spring Hill, where ho had u friend, from whom ho ub I tained u carriage and horse to unable I him to get to Clifton, iu Wilcox Cjuuty. This was last week, so I am 'informed. Mr. Breed took Liudou und Shiloh ou his way, prcuohiug or lecturing (he was seeking money iu aid of foreign missions) at both places. He stopped all night at .Shiloh, and left in the morning for Clifton, where he heard there was to be u H<*puhlicuu meeting that night. Ho did not pro? pose to have anything to do with the meeting, but only to get in town be? fore tho meeting commenced, being u nervous m m, nfraid of horses und not oaring to run the risk of tho pistol shots, hon (ires and other usual ac? companiments of ^barbecues. When ho reached Clifton, however, he found that he had been misinformed?the meeting was not till the next night. He tilled his appointmeut at Clifton, spent the night there, aud in the morning, started on his return. Just beyond Shiloh is a pretty extensive and very dismal swamp, kuowu us Obiokasnbogue Swamp, through which the road to Liudeu aud Domopolis passes. Driving through this swamp, Mr. Breed was suddeuly startled to hear shouts, cries aud repeated firings just ahead of him, in tho deepest aud j thickest part of the swamp. Ho ' stopped his carriage, got dowu, made ! his wife get dowu, tied his horse se- I curely, aud then, leuviug Mis. Breed j standing in the road by tho carriage, went forward to recouuoiter. The shots and cries grew louder us ho ap? proached the spot, aud tho rcveroud gentleman was firmly pursuaded a hor? rible, battle or massacre wus going ou. Ho was just turuing to fly the spot aud give tho alarm, when he saw three or four horses und mules saddied and hitched together by tho roadside, aud near them a negro man, looking oil' to ward the firing and grinning enjoy? ment from ear to ear. Uapidly ap? proaching this man, the horrified minister asked, in an agitated voice: "For God's sake, friend, what is going ou?" The negro quietly laughed aud said: "Shol uothiu' to be skeerod at; it's only some o' dere fun." "Fun! but what are they shooting and screaming so about?" "Oh, massa, day's only pluyiu' like as ef de Ku Klux was urter dem an' giviu' 'em particular hell. Dey'a gwiue to de meetin'to Clifton, to night, an* dey wants to get do sym paties ob de Republicans on 'count ob dere uurrer 'scape, you see. Look ut dem now." Mr. Breed did look, und saw an Ala? bama rehearsal of the most original sort. There were a buggy aud u dear? born wsgon in a littlo open space in tho swamp. In these vehicles were hanging the hats and coats of a party of eight men, four blacks and four whites, who, iu their shirt-sleeves und bareheaded, were firing volleys from their revolvers into their clothes und head-gear, and into the wagons, with ories of, "Take that, you rebel whelp!" "I've got you now, yon Radical ekuukl" &a., Szo. "Who are those men?" asked Mr. Breed. The negro, proud of boiug so well-informed, said, pointing: "Tbur's Charley Hays?in course you know him. He's our Congressman. Thut man with tho calico shirt is Mr. Anton Nibbling. Ho'a sort of a Dutchman, I spoo. Yondor's Luke Suoddy, and t'otnor's Simpson Breathitt." The minister set all the names down in his pocket book. "The darkeys there is named Bob Fullerlovo, Abo Ezoll, Bill Henson and Boligeo Jack?I don't know what his Christen name mout ho." "What's yours?" asked the minister. "Mino's Nelse Colviu." "Whore do you live?" "Up Demopo lis way." "Well, Nelson, I want you to got iu my carriage with me?it's just hack hero?and go to Shiloh to testify about this matter. It may prevent serious trouble." "Cau't, indeed, raussa; I'se one ob de party, I'se got do horse to mind. 'Sides, dey'd kill moil I was to do dat." And no pur suasion conld move him. The minister walked back to his carriage, quieted his alarmed wife, und thou, prompted by a sense of duty, turned his horso's hend and drove back toward Shiloh, though lie greatly inconvenienced himself by ho doing. He was near the odgu of tho cramp when he heard the clutter of hoof ?> bu hiud him, aud saw tho gontleman who had beou poiuted out as Hays riding rapidly up. This time ho had his ouut and hat ou, and seemed conside? rably embarrassed. Drawiug rein alongside tho carriage, he touched his hat to tho rcvorend geutlomen and his wifo, and said, "Excuse my seeming impertinence, but Colviu*tolls mo you were a witness to our pleasant little comedy beyond there a minute ag->? ' "X was, sir.*' "? ridiculous apeotMolc, wasn't it?" "I was greatly Shocked; ?ir, T confess," said the minister,. "Well, the faot is, Mr. -r, excuse' me ??" "Breed is my name." "Aud mine is Hays. I was going to say, tbe boys are ail in liquor, aud up to all sorts of comical prauka." "Is that all of it?" o?ked Mr. Breed. "Nothing else iu the world, *ir What else could you suppose?" "Well, I make uo charges, Mr. Hay*-; but I deem it my duty, us a citizen and a ChriBtian. to go before the near? est magistrate aud make oath to whut I have seen und heard just now in Gbickasabogue Swamp. 1 am on my way back to Shiloh now. for that ex? press purpose." ' For God's suk ?, don't do tliur, Mr. Breed. It will ruiu mo if yon d >." "Well, yon are ruin? ing the country with Your manufac? tured on traget?, Mr. Hays, aud ii is tiuao this business was stopped." Tue upshot oi it ad wai that Ch irlie H iy t pledgi d hif hoi or a?a gentlemau that there should uo "outrage" come out of Chick**abogue Swamp upon any consideration, aud the clergytuuu was prevailed upou not to go tu Shi lob, and no! to tell whut he had seen.

Fifth and Last Gift Concert in Aid of the Public Library of Ken? tucky.?A Cabd to the Public.?Tbe management have determined to have tbe drawing of tbe Fifth and Last Gift Concert of the Public Library of Kentucky, ou the 30th day of Novem? ber next. We believe now that all tbe tickets will be sold, aud that the draw? ing will be a full oue, but whether all are sold or not, tbe drawing will never? theless certainly cutue off on the day appoiuted. The special object of this curd is to call a meeting of tbe ticket-holders at Public Library Hall, on the 20th of November, to make arrangements iu connection with the committee ap? pointed by the Trustees to superintend the counting of the tags representing the numbers of tickets sold. While there is uo actual necessity for the presence of ticket-holders, as under our arrangements tbe interests of all are equally cared for, yet ut the same time I would greatly prefer that as many of those interested as can, would attend this meeting and see each for himself how perfectly fair aud impar? tial the distribution must be. Every urraugemeut has been made for the drawing?but little more than a month remains for the bale of the remainder of the tickets, and whatever is done must be done promptly. THOS. E. BRAMLETTE.

Sobeook's Pulmonio Sjrap, Scheuck's Bes Weed Tooic, And idchouck's Man-' drake Pills, are i tbe only medioines that will cure Pulmonary Coosump tion. Frequently medicines that will stop a cough will occasion the death of the patient; they look np the liver, atop the circulation of tbe blood, he? morrhage follows, and, in fact, thoy clog tbe actiou of the very organs that caused the congh. Liver Complaint and Dyspepsia arc the causes of two-thirds of the discs of Consumption. Many persons com? plain of a dull pain in the side, consti? pation, coated tongue, pain iu the shoulder-blade, feolings of drowbiuess and resilesme-ss, the food lying heavily ou the stomach, accompanied willi acidity and belching up of wind. These symptoms usually origiuate from a disordered condition of the stomach or a torpid liver. Persons so uff.-cted, if they take ouo or two heavy oolds, and if the cough iu these c ises be suddenly checked, will find the stomach aud liver clogged, remaining torpid aud inactive, and al? most bet?re they are aware, the lungs are u mass of sores aud ulcerated, the result of which is death. Sciienck's Pnlmonic Syrup is au ex ectoraut, which do?s not coutam opium or anything calculated to check a COHgb suddenly. Sctieuuk's Sea Weed Tome dissolves the food, mixes with the gastiic juices of the stomach, aids digestion aud creates a raveuous appetite. When the bowels are costive, skin sallow or the symptoms otherwise ot a bilious tendency, Scbcuck's Mandrake Pills are required. These medicines are prepared only by J. II. SciIENCK ft Sou, N.

Iu uo way can this be more conveuieutly uud attractively doue thau by using Printed Letter Headings and Bill Heads. They have come into such geudral use by Merchants, that one seems old fashioned who does not use them, and the custom should be generally adopted by tho Gouutry Merchants. Walk En, Evans A: Cooswell, Charleston, S. O, furnish Letter and Bill Heads of all grades, and at the most reasonable prices. Send to them for samples and prices. By the way, Messrs. Walker, Evans & Cogswell are getting up and selling like hot cakes, some excellent books for our Merchants. One, the Merchants' Cotton Book, for keeping correot accounts of purchases and shipments of Cotton; the other, the Merchants' Bill Book, for readily knowing how the payments on thoir customers' notes and accounts stund. Both books are exceedingly complete, aud auswer the purpobjs exaotly. 017 System Bun Down.?Persons often allow their systems io "run down," or rather run them down by overwork, accompanied by a neglect of the proper means of invigoration. The result is what is called "general debility;" in other words, a failure and partial col? lapse of the physical forces, accompa? nied usually by great depression of spirits. The best remedy in suoh cases is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Whether the state of exhaustion has been brought on by excessive physical labor, dissipation, anxiety of mind, exposure, or any other cause, tbe remedial effect of this great stomachic will be found eqoally prompt and certain. As a restorative after severe sickness has prostrated tho bodily and mental ener? gies, it is pronounced by oompetent medical authority tbe best tonio in use. If mou were not foolishly careless about their health, and over-confident iu themselves, they would always, when eugaged iu any work that ro quirod] great exortion, nso correspond? ing means of sustaining their strength. For this purpose Hostetter's Bitters arc invaluable. All toilers should uso them as au iuvigorant. For those constantly employed iu indoor occupations, especially in crowded wo.-k-shorj*. they may be reckoned as the very best safeguard of health. Where there is a pre-disposi tion to constipation, or a tendency to biliousness, they may bo truly said to bo n specific for which there is no sub? stitute. If there is a man or woman j who has ever tried it for indigestion without being benefited, the fact has not trauspired. Universal, uncontraj I dieted praise avouobes its wonderful j touic virtues.

Daring Attempt at Robbery.?Yes? terday morning, about 3 o'clock, a ccuple of men attempted the robbery of Mr. C. J.

Burke, the clerk, slept in the store, aud the night being warm, he left a window open, at which the thieves entered. The noiso made by their search awoke Mr. B., who drew his pistol and fired three shots at the retreating robbers, one at least of which, it is supposed, took effeot. I The thieves were evidently in search I of money, as Ihey went into desks* . trunks aud boxes, but did not disturb i any merchandise. In their hasty re ' treat, the robbers lost a hat und walk j iug stick, which they can recover on j application at the store. It is belle?ed j that one of tbe men is white and the , other colored.
