C0LffMBlrA7& 0. Friday Morning, January 8,1876. a Ptndcat Step. The* adoption of a resolution a\ a public meetiug held in Edgefield ' Ooort House, aboqt a month ago, to inflict lyooh law upon incendiaries caught in the aot of setting fire to gin houses, barns and dwellings, elioited a good deal of unfavorable comment at the time. No one oould objeot to the summary punishment by an aggrieved party of. a man caught in the aot of robbery or anon, at in the Bay Ridge ' affair.. But to announce it as a polioy, at a public meeting, looked like a tra? vesty of justioo. It eubetituted a rude bat deliberate form Of proceeding, which would be liable to becarilled at, for the impulsive and necessary action to which no exception oould be taken. Io fact, however, the resolution Was paaaqd by OBmo.ll majority of a small meeting. It w*4 dbbdemned as unwise and unnecessary by the more sedate and', tborjghtf a I, oitizeun. The only thing that oould be eaid in its favor, is that incendiarism in that County ceased after the purposo to resort to lynch law tvas promulgated. The inoident which we related two days ago, is of a more plonsnnt .and promising obaraoter. Nothing oould be more appropriate than tho picp v<bioh the Edgefield peo? ple of tboOnrTy ton neighborhood took in G?nding a responsible and prudent oo?jiniUoS to '?onfor with the Go? vernor, und nothing more satisfactory than'tho mbao in wbioh that commit tea discharged the t??k assigned to it. Justly apprehensive of trouble from the oiroumstanoea of whicb they oame to complain, unless tbej were changed, they felt charged with a responsibility whose weight was too heavy to bear. They placed the matter in the proper hands. Tboy ooked to have the law enforced and respeoted, and all proper prudential measures taken to prevent any breach of the peace, from collision or otherwise. They acted as good citizens, aod we are impelled to bo liovo that better order and greater se? curity of life and property than has heretofore existed, will thereby be promoted in the Oounty of Edgefield. Come Home. Major Woodward, of Fairfield, has received a letter, which appears in the Winnsboro New?, from a yonng friend who left Soath Carolina to try his fortunes in Texas. He sajs: "When? ever jou hear a yonng fellow say that he is going to leave old South Caro? lina, to flud a new and better oonntry, just tell him.to write to F. B-,and see what' ho has to say/' Many who have sought other States have fouud oat the same troth from their new field of experience. There is no finer country on. the globe than South Caro? lina. Its political evils havo not been exaggerated, but we have hopes that they will be trausitory and are not j irremediable.' 'Time at last brines all? things even. Our oondition might bttve been better to-day, if the many citizens who have despaired of im? provement had lemained here, and here employed their energy, meucs and intelligence. Io a pecuniary point of view, every man who comes into a State is considered to be worth in him? self $1,000. In the last year Texas has had a large accession to her re? sources in the 200,000 immigrants who have gone into it Many of these, as the writer of the above-mentioned letter, are. from South Caroline, which, of ooursmJnaa been impprerished in tbe do6^.v^*t TexaB has been en riebet!. This ought cot to be. Men can do as'weil here as any where else. South Oarblipiana oogbt to be uble to do better. But the possibility of it is decreased iu proportion to tbe decrease of their numbers. Tbey should stand together, and together fight out the battle of life, and fight down tbe evils whilbloppress their State. Tbe duty of this is plain, but we only make the poidt of its advantage. We will not censure our self exiled citizens. We would welcome their returu and be glad of their co-operation in the efforts we make to secure good government and restore tbe general prosperity. We noticed with pleasure, a few days ago, the meution of return to Charles? ton of a useful and enterprising citi? zen, after yeurs of absence.

My. heart un travel I'd fondly turns to thee." ??- > The testimony given before tho Con? gressional investigation committee at Now Orleans, represents, of course, both sides of the question, but tbo preponderuuoo of statement is greatly against the rule of Kellogg. Mul ad? ministration, partisanship, oppressive taxation, disturbance of tho relations between the races for political effect, frauds, alteration of records, &a , are testified to by competent and respecta? ble citizens. Bishop Wilmer, the Episcopal Bishop of the Diocese, gave a gloomy account of the condition of tho country. Uo testified that the depression of business was without precedent; the people are gintdespair, and those able are leaving the State. The oanscB are loss of confidence, universal distrust, heavy losses, the obaoge iu the system of labor, and unnumbered depreda? tions to whiuh the people are exposed without redress; and in the oounlry it is impoabibje to keep anything after raising it, everything being stolen. What is uceded ia a government that will be able- to punish those violating the laws. Juries are partial in judg? ment and nojust in deoisiuns. B. B. Foreman, who wus a member, of the Beturning Board of 1872, in? criminated the judiciary, and traced numerous evils to tbe interfereuoe of the.Federal Government on slight and shallow pretexts. The people, he said, are utterly un? able to pay the taxes imposed. In many instanoea rents for eltigiblo brick residences will not pay tuxes. An? other great oaase of financial depres? sion is a want of confidence in tbe integrity of the judiciary. Ohief Jus? tice of tbe Supreme Court Ludeliug was oonvicted in the Supreme Court of tbe United States of stealing a rail? road. By Mr. Potter?That is a figure of speech. Mr. Foreman repeated that Justico Strong, in tbe opinion of the Court, said that ho (Ludohug) had, by fraud and ebioanery, and by seducing others to betray the trnst reposed in them, obtained possession of the road, and I fail to see the moral distinction be? tween that and steuliug. Jacob Haw? kins, Judge of tbe next most impor? tant Court, is a disreputable character. He was a member of the notorious Lynch Beturniug Board, and is utterly unreliable. These are samples of the rest under the Kellogg regime. There are in thia city three or four honorable exceptions on the District Bunch. These are the immediate causes of the distress aud depreasiou prevailing. The primary cause of uil is tho perpe? tual interference by the Foderul Go? vernment with local concerns by means of army und Federal ofliuittls iu New Orleans. If the Federal army hud not seized the .State House aud uoutrulled tbe organization of the Legislature iu 1872, the McEuery Government aud Conservative Legislature would huve peaceable und complete control. It the Federal army bud not demanded the surrender of the Slate House and public buildings on the 18th ol Sep? tember, 1874, tbo McEuery Govern? ment would have complete, undisputed aud peaceable coutrol of the Stute un? til tbe end of the term of office, and peace and conti leuce would have boeu restored. We do not say thut the action of tbo Beturniug Board wus iu ull respects right. It is cuongh to say that it wus a lawfully constituted board, and did its work according to law. \ Union- Herald. Whioh affords us opportunity to givo you a small dose of Pike's "Pros trnte State." "They pick your pockets by law. They rob the poor and tho rich alike, by law. They confiscate your estate bylaw." "Law" is a pro? digiously ?convenient sort of thing. You seo what has been dono by it, both in South Carolina and Louisiana. Were Madame Boland brought to tbo block iu our time aud harub&ed coun? try, it would be "law" and not liberty which Bho would anathematize for the orimes doneiu its name. Shookino.?A Manchester, England, weaver recently Haid to Ool.

Will oar State and oity officials make a note of this and govern themselves oceordlogiy? They should ullow no "blarsied Britishers" to sail before them in this style. For the novelty of tho thing and to procure u new sensa? tion, they ought to try our fur-off oou sius' plan of doing things.

Stem ens on the OUTBADE PoLlcr.?Usually Congress does but little in tho first week of a tie- sum. It is not until after the holi? day* that the real work bogius. This session, however, the carpet bug ele? ment of the Republican parly outlined a policy toward the South beforo tbe recess which to many is indicative only of impoteut malice, while to others it causes the gravest apprehensions. Among the latter, Hon. Alexander H. Stephens, of Georgia, is promineut. His long exporienoe in public affairs, close study of events, and koeo intel? lect, which no infirmity of body seems to have power to impair, certainly should ?vuuble him to see clearly und judge rightly iu snob matters. Thus far Be has seen no indication that tbe North will sustain the policy of pro? scription, oppression and hate inau? gurated by the carpet-buggers ; but he fears that it will. The bills introduced iu the House by White, of Alabama, and Whiteley, of Georgia, to legalize repeating, aud to place the entire con? trol of elections iu the South iu the bands of Federal officials, be regards us tbe initiatory steps iu tbe pro? gramme, und has little doubt but that] they will be adopted as party measures. Tho Democracy, be thinks, fail to appreciate the magnitude of the dan? ger. They laugh, he s^ys, because they do not see bow daugernos aud how likely to prevail is this plot for placing the South once more iu fetters. Of course, it is in the power of the Republicans of the North und West to prevent the adoption of this carpet bug policy, but will they do it? Mr. StepoeoB compares tbe present condi? tion of the Republican part y to tbutot bees about to swarm?disorganized, buzzing to aud fro; but while tbe De? mocracy are beuticg on pans aud ket? tles, they wilt settle on some twig, which may be represented by the Sonthern-outrage policy, and then tbe Organization will begiu. Mr. Stephens sees brains in this Southern-outrage policy?the brains of desperate men nerved to do auytbing and everything to maintaiu their past supremacy. That the Republican party will adopt and curry out thia policy is evidently his firm belief, and when opportunity ?fters, he will no doubt s tuud tbe note of warning to all who are opposed to tyranny and wrong from his sent iu the House of Representatives. Mit Bbechbr's New Yeab Recep? tion.? Mr. Bescher kept open house, aud tbe fact is interesting as showing the temper of the Brooklyn aud New York people towards him. On the outer door of his residence was the placard, "Come iu without riuging," and from 11 o'clock in Ihi morning to 7 o'clock in the evening the hero of the great scandal stood iu his front parlor, hrounting the ce iselcsa stream of visitor.-). Some Plymouthito fur? nished a recording clerk for th? occa? sion, and when tho reception was over be reported that Mr. Beecher had hud nearly 1,500 callers. Mr. Tiltou'a residence, uhotit half u mile uwuy, was as gloomy us a prison. The inmate did not receive, for obvious reasons, Mrs. Tilton, who now lives with her friends, tho Oviugtocs, was not pro? sent with them to receive callers. Mre. Moultou'.s frout door was ornamented with a tiny card basket. So, from a social stand point, tho day was a tri? umph for the Becebor faction. Of tbe crowd which flocked to tho preacher's residence, doubtless a few persons wcro attracted by curiosity, but the majority were thorio ardent admirers of Mr. Beecber, iueido und outside of his congregation, who "would uot be? lieve him guilty if u hundred juries pronounced him to be so." -.? . IIeinoos Outiiaoe.?The particulars have just come to hand of a most out? rageous and heinous crime, committed iu Union Township, iu this Couuty, on the mgbt of tho 21th ult. On the night iu question, a young lady by the name of Margarete. Rivenbark was at the resideuce of Mr. Wm. J. Gurguuns, and somo time during the night the hotiso was forcibly entered by a negro by tho name of Liberty Bouey, who was accompanied by three other ne? groes, nil heavily armed. Tho last mentioned remained at tbo door, while the villain, Bouey, entered, seized Miss Rivenbark, and committed a gross outrage upon her person. Iu tbe meantime, Mr. Gurgunus, who was unarmed aud defenceless, and also menaced by the three armed men nt the door, was nuablo to afford any ns oi.-.tauce, as he was confident that any Buch attempt on his part would not ouly bo useless, but would seal his own fate. His hellieh design accomplished, Bouey und his companions fled. I Wilmington Star. The first of January opened a new era in the trade of St. Louis by the opening of the bridge at that oity across the Mississippi for the transfer o( freight. The Soxdieb in Civil Affaibs.? There are signs that nil parties in tbe United States are siokeuing of the auomalous prominence giveu to mili? tary men of late years in the regula? tion of civil affairs. The republican sentiment of I he whole country is shocked when a goneral is withdrawn from the supervision of suvugea to the snperviaiou of State Governments. We all instinotively foel thiit the froe and civilized citizens of Louisiana ought to be reguluted by diffjrout pro? cesses from thoBe by which we keep in order the Coinanolioa und the Piegun sqoaws und pappoo?u.*. The frequeut uppenranoo of tho soldier in the man? agement of States in beginning Io shock all our people. It may bo very gratifying to military vanity to be cdled on to interfere in this way, but it will bu a short lived gratification. I?. is not consistent with tho genius of our institution", or of our people, or of tho institutions of tho people from wh.ci) we Imvu mainly descended. O'ir fathers eunio from u race which for ages and ages has kopt the soldier us fur iiway as possible from civil affairs. To do otherwise is to uueouruge the expense and growth of armin*. Eug land, with tbe mightiest material in? terests of any country in the world, threatened by tbe over shadowing power of tho first Napoleon, never kept up what might be called a large standing army, though employing for the time such forcHB tin were adequate to co-operate with her allies, and finally succeeded in sending Nupoleou to St. Helena. Even no*, with tho immense Empire of India to gaard, she has comparatively a smalt standing army, and seek* to avoid hot ii the burden and the dunger to liberty which excess in that regard involves. Tho American people do uot desire the sol? dier?the army?to bo set up over them, aud a large stauding army eau uu more be forced upon ns than a king, a nobility, i?r an established church. We have demonstrated in the late war thut our people can do their own fighting, with tbe guidance of educated officers, aud when the war is ended wu ought uot only to disband tbe bulk of our forces, but confine regular officers to the purely military duties appertaining to their profession. Tbe intelligent und self-respecting among them will uot desire to intrude into a sphere for which they urn uot titled by experience, and where their appearance is revolting to the public sensu of propriety aud tbe (Hues* of things. This is uot Spam, where ca? bala of soldiers dispose of govern? ments at their sovereign will and plea? sure, nnffiug out u republic us they would the smoke of a cigar, and in? stalling n royal puppet at tbe points of their ewords, without regard to law, right or Constitution. The people of the United States will not permit any portiou of this country to be governed like Spaiu or Cuba, and the party which mpporte such a policy will array agaiust itself the hostilities und in? stincts, as well as principles, of a free people, and seal its owu destruction. [Baltimore Sun. A Triumph Oven Humbug ?It is not difficult to alarm tbo timid, aud invalids are proverbially so. Aware of this fact, the venders of psendo bitters, "entirely free from alcohol," have raised a false cry uguiust tonic prepa? rations containing spirits, and no doubt have frighted u low sick folks into purchasing the fermented rubbish which they sell, and which is infinitely mere injurious thua the vilest drains I drunk at tavern bars. Bin ulready a tremendous re-action basset iu aguiu&t these abominable nostrums, which, being devoid ol the alcoholic bisis which ulouu prevents liquid botanic preparations from turning sour, de? compose almost as soon us made. Hos? teller's Stomach Bitters ban lived and will live down multitudes of such im? postures. A regular recurrouco ol I be demand for thu great alterative, iuvigo raut from those who have always been its patrons, shows that they have not swerved iu their time-honored ulle giance to America's tno.st popular re medy; and a constuut iuflax of uuw orders demonstrates bow little itnpres siuu, after all, tbe blatant denuncia? tions of thu mock bitters men have made upou the general public. So loug us Hostetter's Bitters continue to cure and prevent intermittent und remittent fevers, dyspepsia, constipation, kidney disease and the numerous other ail? ments to which they are adapted, they will continue to domiu^.u the factious opposition of humbugs, und that will I be just as loug us they are manufac? tured und sold. Be it known nnto all bogus nostrum venders, of every de? cree of audacity and knavery, that they oau never hope to pull' them? selves iuto public favor ut thu expeuse of Uostutter's Bitters, the repututiou of which is founded, us it were, upon a rock.

A New York ozoh&ngo says of hor: 'To say that Adelaide Phillipps is the finest contralto in America is to say nothing, for tbo reason that on this side of the Atlantio there are no com? petitors for her laurels. To say that Earope does not possess her equal is to state a fact. "Miss Adeluide Phillips, as the star, sang the intensely interesting role of Rosina with never-failing grace and sweetest notes. As au actress, she is perfect, and carried the audience by storm, especially in her light moods, as Rosina iu her great oharaoter. Dur? ing tbe music-lesson scene, in the third act, she sang Beudelari's 'Laughing Song* in English, and was so warmly applauded that she responded with 'And the Years Glide By'?a gem.

These deservedly celebrated and popu? lar medicines have effected a revolu? tion io tbe healing art, and proved the fallacy of several maxims which tinvo for many years obstructed, tho progress of medical soienoe. The false supposition that "Consumption is incurable," deterred pbyaicans from attempting to find remedies for that disease, and pntieutd afflicted wiin -it reconciled themselves to death withodt making an effort to escape from u doom which they supposed to be una? voidable. It ia now proved, however, that Consumption can be cured, and that it litis been cured in a very great num? ber of cases (some of them apparently desperate ones) by Schenck's Pulmo nie .Syrup alone; and io other oases by the same medicine in connection with Schenck'a Sea Weed Tonic and Man? drake Pills, one or both, coording to the requirements of tbeoase. Dr. Scbenck, himself, who enjoyed nu<nterrnpted good health for more tbun forty years, was supposed, at one time to be at the very gate of death, bis physicians having pronounced his case hopeless, and abandoned him to bis fate. He was cured by tbo afore? said medicines, and, sinoe tits recovery, many thousands similarly affected have used Dr. Sobenck'H preparations with the same remarkable success. Full directions accompany each, making it not absolutely necessary to personally see Dr. Bohenck, unless pa? tients wish their luDgs examined, and for this purpose be is professionally at his principal office, comer Sixth and Arch streets, Philadelphia, every Mon? day, where all letters for advice mast be addressed.
