COLUMBIA, S. C. Bunlay Horning. November 1,1874. Tb? Reatl lime. Id yesterday's Pikenix, we published the letter of Hon. J. P. Reed, of An? derson, giving the reasons which have induced him, as between the two Xie pnblioan candidates for Governor, to support Mr. D. H. Chamberlain. m The argument, as there presented, seems to us to 'have peculiar foroe and clear? ness. It suits the purposes of those who take a purely partisan view of the situation, to denounoe Mr. Reed a? a Republican, because of the prononnoed position he has taken; but we fail to find, in this communication, one word to indiaate that this gentleman has foresworn bis time-honored principles or purposes, now or hereafter, to ally himself with the Republican party. Let us treat this matter in candor, without prejudice aud with decency. An we have heretofore indicated, if the C .nserv-itivea of Ibis State Lai placed our banner iu the hands of Qeuoral Kershaw, or any other recognized loader of the people of this State, we ehoold have had our line of duty plainly marked out before ub; and, so far as the letter of Mr. Reed gives us gronud for judgment, he would have nnited with us in the support of suoh a candidate. But the Conservative banner, the Democratic banner, the banner, by whatever name, which we have heretofore followed, has been folded away; and we are bidden, like "dumb, driven oattle," to follow a new banner, with Republicanism inscribed upon every fold of it, and yet we are to be taunted and "denounced as a Republican," when we refuse to do ill Oar nature revolts at this. It is not fair; it is not decent. When the peo? ple are called upon to choose between these two evils, let them have their choice untrammelled. If a Conserva? tive citizen of this State now deter? mines to support Mr. Chamberlain, he is no more a Republican in go doing than he would be if he supports Judge Greene. Both are alike obnoxious, so far ?9 abstract principles are con? cerned. The honest, earnest Con? servative may support the one as well as the other, and yot keep his faith untarnished, and his blade bright to contest the real battle of Conservatism wherever the occasion ofTjr. The faot is poteut that, especially in tho up country, many Conservative people think, aud profess to aot with, Mr. Reed, and it is folly in the Democratic supporters of Judge Greene to say them yea or nay, on any ground which attaohes to the real iesues held in abey? ance by the Conservative people of South Carolina. We have recognized the faot that a considerable number of our people have, in an organized way, declared their preference for Judge Greene. For this declaration we have entertained profound respeot, aud to this day we have deemed it our duty to keep the oo lamns of the Pikenix so that their pre? ference might have the utmost expres? sion. We havo not seen fit to denounce our friends as Rapablioaus because of their adhoreoco to Judge Greone; in? deed, we have not "jeen fit to question their motives or embarrass their notion by pronouncing against them. We do not do so now. But wo have at last a duty to perform to ourselves, as well as to those with whom we havo for long been associated in political action; and this duty it is now time for us to disoharge. We do it with regret, but "timo at last makes all things even." Iu the last two years, we have watched with anxious care the aotion of the present administration with referenoe to tue public debt; for this is to us tho chief concern. At the olose of Gov. S-Jott's flseond term, it was admitted that the debt of this State amounted to over $20,000,000 upon its face, whilst it was olaimed that the larger portion of this debt was, in fact, false and fraudulent. The State Trea? surer, the Comptroller-General and the Attorney-General, upon whom the duty of determining these matters was devolved, had pledged the people that the false should be separated from tho true, aud that tho people should not be burdened with a debt for which they had not received an honest equivalent. This pledge has been kept; and mainly by their efforts the debt has beou ar? ranged, or is in proooss of arrangement, so that it will amount to not mere than $6,000,000, in round numbers; and tho fraudulent conversion bonds, fraudulent Blue Ridge eorip, fraudu? lent pay-certitlcatcs and fraudulent claims against the Stato of whatever kind havo, in tho Courts and in the General Assembly, all alike, been con? demned and repudiated; and thus an unmerited burden of debt has been lifted from the shoulders of the peo plo, which would have been saffioieut to crush their spirit, tax their industry and hinder their progress for an hun? dred years to come. Iu this great work much has yet to be done. Indeed, it is not yet half done. It is idle to say that the officers whom we have named, who have in the past two years done their duty against every temptation, would de? sire now to procure tbe opportunity to betray the people. Their treason could easily have been accomplished, if they had meditated treason. That they have, against so much opposi? tion at home and abroad, effected eo much, should, in all fairness, be no credited to them as an earnest ol their purpose in tho future. TheBe officers, aud the others of tho Executive Department, (except tho Governor,) who have sympathized with them, with one voico declare for Mr. Chamberlain. Iudeed, they are responsible- for his nomination; and they not only pronounced their con? viction that he is not implicated in the frauds which they have combatted and overthrown, but, out of hU own mouth, they assure tho people that he sympathizes with them iu their efforts in behalf of honest government, and will carry out the measures of reform already happily inaugurated. What more do the people ask of a Republi? can administration? These officers have proved their faith by thoir ac? tions. The faction of their party which opposes them have neither the fojth to prove, nor ihe action by which to prove it. Let us see: Where stands Judgo Green? He has made no ti'jn. It is stated that, early ia tho year, when Mr. Chamberlain had peremptorily deolioed, leading Republicaus en? deavored to induce Judge Greeu to enter the canvas?; hut that, especially on account of his pecuniary condition, ho declined to entertaiu the proposi? tion. What is there, uow, iu his pe? cuniary condition whioh permits him to engage in an almost hopeless con? test, when it forbode him to uccept a nomination whioh he knew was equi? valent to election? Let tho people ponder! We know that Judge Groeno has been, and is, extremely ill; hut he had opportunity, in his speech in Charleston, to declare his purposes in reference to the public debt, aud he was silent. Tho bolt, so called, has been inau? gurated and engineered by Senator Dunn. It is his funeral. We know of Judge Green's purposes by his. Mr. Dunn has not denied that, in the Se? nate, be resisted the scheme of tbe settlement of tho public debt; and it is a fact, that wheu it was sought to soale the debt at forty ceuts ou the dollar, the opposition of Mr. Dunn compelled the friends of tho measure to con lent to a soale of fifty oents ou the dollar, thereby preventing tho de? crease of tbe debt of tho State by more than $1,090,000. Men familiar with pissing events declare that Mr. Dann has been close? ly associated with Mr. Wesley, the holder of the revenue bond scrip. Iu relation to this paper, he has fought the Eteoutive Dapartment step by step. Mr. Chamberlain .will boar wit uess that whatever has buou dono iu the oourts in the interest of this fraud, has been done at tho instance of Mr. Dunn, or the agent of Wesley. Judge MagraUj, (j. D. Melton. Mr. Rion aud others, distinguished lawyers, with whom the Attorney-Goueral has had to contend, will, Wd are assured, bear the same testimony. In the tour through the up-coun? try, Judge Melton charged that the purpose of the opposition to Mr. Chamberlain was to inaugurate an ad? ministration whioh would disturb tho settlement of the publio debt, aa pro? vided for by the last Legislature, and open it so that the conversion bonds and the bond scrip could be scaled with the other debt and at the same rate. Mr. Daun did not deny the gravamen of the oharge; but made certain unauthorized charges, and then, "for obvious reasons," withdrew them. The oharges were substantiated by conversations stated by the State Treasurer and Mr, Solomon, and as the latter named geutloman says, ??money can be made out of it." Our conclusion ia, that whilst we propose to vote for Mr. Chnmberluin with a protest, we aro not to bo ruled out of the Conservative party by so doing; nor oan wo be charged with being a Republican or partisan, when we exorcise our right of preference be? tween tho candidates. ??????? |_The fair in Charlotte, N. 0., opens on Tuesday, tho 3d. Tho Observer says tbe people ate jubilant aud en? thusiastic. Q,uiet tout Determined. We have restated, with all oar might, the imputation that our white people are apathetio or hopeless about their public affairs. The interest whioh is eo wide awake elsewhere in matters of public concern, is not aeleep here. It is a grievous mistake and wrong to say that a majority of on? people have become convinoed that it is waste of time and energy to resist the tide ot corruption. Depressing in? fluences have been at work, undoubt? edly, and some have become ready to suecumb to the hard fate which would subject them to alien rule, and hand over the country to its spoilers. But the bulk of tho people are made of sterner stuff than that. They have re? solved to coutest evory inch of ground, Qghting with tho sentiment of home and country burning in their hearte. They would bo recreant not to do so. Now, whou the whole country is uwak oning to the atrocities committed against tho Southern people, when great States aro recovering their power and mean to exert it in our behalf against the centralizing and despotic tendencies of tho party whioh has ruled nud disgraced tho General Go? vernment, wo must not ourselves de? sert our guus. We must not sot np the sorry plea that it h useless to resist wrong, backed by nnmbers, power and boundless corruption. It is not oselesp. To admit it, is to bo little better minded than slaves. But our people do not admit it. They are, constitu? tionally, averse to noise and bluster. They are quiet, as they should be, but aot tame or spiritless, not uninformed on the great issues which hang on thoir action. Tho elements which go to make the storm are quietly gathered together. It is still water which is said to run deep. Wisdom is silent uud thoughtful. Couruge is calm und col? lected. Such we conceive to be the attitude of our people. When they do speak and uct for honesty and good go? vernment, it will bo to the dismay of those who have trampled upou their rights und plot against their dear bought libertiee. -- - - ?-?.??-?-- ?

Malaria Everywhere.?Barely has there been a season as fruitful as this of malarious diseases. Not only on the prairies and in the valleys of the West; not merely iu all the old haunts of fever und ague and bilious remit? tent fever have these prostrutiug dis? eases beeu unusually virulent; but they have extended to towns and cities never befo*o infested with them, uud have even ascended the mountains uud attacked thousands of people supposed *o have been placed by thn laws of na? ture above their reach. Hence wo uro compelled to admit that a fatal ele? ment pervades the universal air this season, und should at once resort to the only approved proveutivo of its consequences, Uostettcr's Stomach Bitters, u tonio so potent, nn antiseptic so perfect, an alterative ho irresistible, and a stimulant ho pure, that it enables the human system to resist and huttls all the predisposing causoa of disease.

McMASTER, Chairman Executive Committee. Columbia, Ootober 31, 1874 ?.? To the Editor of the Phoenix? Sin: "A Conservative" gives some reasons iu your Friday's puper for not voting for tho Nash County ticket. I don't know much about State bonds, but I do know something about City of Co? lumbia bonds, and that ih the reason wby I will not give Nash my vote. I have looked over tbe journal of (he ScuHte, aud I lind thit when tho ' Bill authorizing the Mayor nud Alder men of tho City of Columbia to issue bonds aud to negotiate aud sell tbe same" was before the Senate, Nash voted for it, thns putting new bonded debt ou the impoverished city of Colombia. Other Conservatives may vote as they pleu-o, I if ill not rote for Nash. In my next communication, I shall show other wrongs perpetrated on tho citizens of Columbia by the vote aud iu?uence of Nash, which should prevent every* lover of I is borne aud eitizeuship tc abstain from voting for Nash, or uuy ticket on which his name appears. ANO I'll Eli CONSERVATIVE. Mr Editor: A writer in the Piiui nix, of tbe 3l):h, gives many good reasons wby he caunot vote for Nash. The recoid is sufficient to prevent uny honest mau or lover of bis country I from supporting him. Were I to vote for him, I would regard myself us participating iu tie many baneful measures he has supported, and en? dorsing all further acts of wrong which ho might ia futnro commit. Therefore, I cannot consistently sup? port Nash, because I believe he hns supported many, if not all, of the bad legislation which has disgraced South Carolina, and of which the convention of her tax-payers bo truthfully com? plained. Were I to support Nash, how could I look in the face of my Northern friendp, and with truth com? plain of tho State Government? when I by my vote helped to elect uud place iu ohleo the very individual who bus brought the good name of South Carolina into disrepute, and who is disgracing tho name of n Re? publican Goverument. The good book tells me "that J must not do eril that good mag come;" therefore, I cannot support tbe Jesuitical requirement of the self-constituted Executive Com? mittee of Richlaud County. I cannot voto for Nush, because my whole nature revolts against it, my manhood repels it, tbo birth right of my children cries out ngaiust it, tbo truthful precepts learned ut my mother's knee forbid it. 1 shall not touch tho unclean thing, und, therefore, 1 cannot myself, nor will 1, by my example, encourage others to voto for Nash. TRUTH AND HONESTY. -~. -? ?- ? Mit Editor: Iu your issue of Friday morning, you publish u communica? tion from "Conservative," naming two or I hroo votes givou by Mr. Nash, iu tbo Senate, as reasons for not support? ing tho Nash County ticket. Pray let me add anotber. When tbo bill relating to tho finan? cial agent of tbe State of South Caro? lina, in the city of New York, was be? fore tho ?euate, March 11,1872, Whit I temoro moved an amendment, to tbo effect that tho fiuancinl agency bo dis ! continued, and tho Carolina National I Bank be authorised to settle with the Financial Agent. Tbis amendmeut was adopted, Nash voting iu its favor. It is impossible to say who saw Mr. Nash that night or the next morning; but, tho next day, the notorious Leslie moved au amendment, striking out the whole of Whittemore's amendment, and authorizing the Financial Board to settle with tho financial agent, and leaving the flnuuci tl agency to con? tinue in cxiateuce. Of course, this was just what "tho ring" wanted, us the Financial Board would be glad ' - overlook all the unlawful things they nud tho financial ngent did, and oould "fix things" to suit themselves. It is mortifying to confess it, but Nash, who voted j'or Whittemore's amend? ment tho night before, now voted to strike out aud insert Leslie's amend ! meut instead. Tho result was, tho Fi ! nuueial Board settled the account of i the financial agent iu their own way, covored up everything from tho Gene rul Assembly and the people of South Carolina, fastened nn enormous fraud? ulent debt upon the State, and allowed the chivalrie Kimptou $735,9151). 13 for commissions, aud all this with the help of Nash's vote.'

MoGowan's Address ?An im? mense throng of the people, whits aud colored, listened, la-t evening, with rapt attention for nearly two hours to a speech of Gen. Samuel MoGowan. Introduced in handsome terms by Lcroy F. Youmans, E-tq., tho General caught inspiration from the grand soene, and tho ennobling thoughts which swelled his breast. His discourse was npon the necessity, propriety and beauty of harmony and friendship be? tween the two races and all classes and couditions of the people, and the para? mount duty of all to work together in this exigency of our fate, for honesty und economy in the State government. Passing by easy gradation from State t) national affairs, be dwelt with great force and effect upon the importance of placing in the national councils men of einmiete.-, honor, intelligence and a patriotism that knew no party ' bounds or State lines. He touched delicately upon his services to the country in peace and war, and by his generous sentiments towards the oolored people particularly, won repeated plaudits from the large and admiring crowd, many of whom as? sured him that he would be their choice for the high position for which he had been nominated. We cannot doubt that tho effect of General Mo? Gowan's visit to Riohhind, aud the telling speech of last night, will bo to arouse an enthusiasm which will put tue finishing touch to tho brilliant suc? cesses which he has gained iu the other Counties, and bear him triumphantly into tho National Legislature, Cer? tainly, Columbia gave him a wurm re? ception, and will bo as prompt and united in giving a tried soldier and ac? complished civilian, who comes from his retirement, upon urgent call, to servo tho State, the high commission which he is so fitted to adorn. At the beginning of his speech, last eveuing, Gen. MoGowan denied; abso? lutely and emphatically, a statoment contained in a morning paper, that he had spoken disrespectfully of the army and army offiocrs stationed io this State, or that he had spoken of them at all in any political speech? having held a oommission himself from tho United States Government, and rospeoting and honoring tho officers whom he bad met on the most oordial terms, having confided to them the care of his family and home, it was, uf course, n preposterous and utterly un? warranted statement. Fair political discussion or criticism, any proper canvassing of his claims, however un? favorable, tho view any writer or speaker might choose to take, he would notobjeotto; but an imputation of this injurious character ho felt called upon to brand as falso in every particu? lar.

In no way can this be more conveniently and attractively done than by using Printed Letter Headings and Bill Heads. They have come into such general use by Merchants, that one seems old fashioned who does not use them, and the custom should be generally adopted by the Country Merchants. Walker, Evans & Cogswell, Charleston, S. C , furnish Letter and Bill Heads of all grades, and at the most reasonable prices. Send to them for samples and prices. By t'ae way, Messes. Walker, Evans & Cogswell are getting up and selling like hot cakes, some exaellent books for our Merchants. One, the Merchants' Cotton Book, for keeping correct accounts of purchases and shipments of Cotton; the -other, the Merchants' Bill Book, for readily knowing how the payments on their customers' notes and accounts stand. Both books are exceedingly complete, aud auawer the purposes exactly. Ol? Consumption Can Be Cured.? jScheuck's Pulmonic Syrup, Sohenck'a Sea Weed Touic, aud Schenck'a 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 op the liver, atop tbe circulation of the blood, he? morrhage follows, and, in fact, they clog the action of the very organs that caused the cough. Liver Complaint and Dyspepsia are the causes of two-thirds of the cases of Consumption. Many persons com? plain of a dull pain in tbe side, consti? pation, coated tongue, pain in the i shoulder-blade, feelings of drowsiness and restlos mess, the food lying heavily on the stomach, aooompanied with acidity and belching up of wind. These symptoms usually originate from a disordered condition of the stomach or a torpid liver. Persons so affected, if they take one or two heavy colds, and if the cough in these cases be suddenly checked, will find the stomach and liver clogged, remaining torpid aud inaotive, and al? most before they are aware, the lungs are a mass of sores and ulcerated, the result of whioh is death. Schenok's Pulmonic Syrup is an ex? pectorant, which does not contain opium or anything calculated to check a cough suddenly. Schenok'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 tho symptoms otherwise of a bilious tendency, Sohenck'a Mandrake Pills are required. These medicines are prepared only by J. H. Scubkok & Son, N. E. corner Sixth and Arch streets, Philadelphia, aud are for sale by all druggists and dealers. - Got llfl3 Richland Rifle Club. MEMBERS will attend a called meeting or thia Club at their Hall, TO.
