COLUMBIA,, S~. C. Ettaa* Morning, February 12, 1S7?. ?iiwi ?r Mr. lUpktU, oKOMrgU. Hon. A. H. Stephens baa been dis tsisgaished among Southern politioians foe the last two yeara as an apologist far President Grant. He has taken frequent onoasion to exalt his talents and ebaraoter. He has steadily main? tained that Congress, aod not tbe Pre? sident, was to blame for the Louisiana usurpation. Since the last scone, by which bayonets supplanted ballots in deciding tho qualifications of members of the Legislature, Mr. Stephens bas kept an ominous silence. Tbe Louisi? ana question, he says, bas not reached the House, and he will not undertake to-cross a river before ho comes to it. 3a conversation, however, ho expresses deep concern and apprehension for ?be condition of the country. A cor? respondent of tbe Augusta Constitu? tionalist, supposed to bo Judge Hook, gives an aooonnt of a receut interview with Mr. Stephens. Ho said that he regarded the re-election of Grant by the Radical party to the Presidency as the greatest possible calamity that ooold befall tbe country, and that ?it would be his utmost endeavor saw, aa it had beon for the two yearB past, to prevent that state of things which wonld bring it about. He de? precated imprudent sneaking on the part-of the Southern people. There am eeeestens in the lifo of a great party when silence, prudence and a masterly inactivity are its highest policy, be-' cause then the opposition is allowed' to develop ita pernicious schemes, and -show its hand fully. He advises that 2he Democrats and Conservatives shall avoid ull *iolenoe in word and action, and appeal only to uie peaceful reme? dies of the Constitution, the courts ?od the ballot-box. n In ; this way be yt'inks they oan hurl'the present parly -'rem power. The other course of vie -Vut opposition will drive the Radicals t*--<*e-nomiuate? Qfrant, the strongest man'they oan ronV Reinstalled 'Radi? calism, with Grant at its head, will sweep away the last vestige of tbe liberties vouchsafed by the founders -of the Government. TJie Andrew? Cava?. The Senate was engaged, yesterday, ?a a discussion upon the report of tbe special committee appointed to inves ?tifete charges against Senator Thad.. <0. Andrews. Mr. Danoan moved that ?so be expelled. Mr. Maxwell moved to amend, by substituting, the word -?ensured" in liewof that "expelled." Upon this, ha delivered a speech in 4onded to show that there were no charges and no specifications, and that tbe whole proceeding was not accord sag to law. Mr. Nash followed on the other bide, taking the ground that the Sen ita was not a court df law or a oonrt martial. It Was compsteut to judge and pass upon the conduct of ita members. Mr. Jones maintained that the testimony was insufficient and unsatisfactory, and justified no action further than its more reception as in? formation. Mr. Jeter, who was one of the oommittee who made tbe majority Teport, expressed his own dissatisfac? tion-with tbe testimony of Humbert. But he regarded Andrews' own admis? sions as to partnership witb Humbert aa tho profits of purchasing County paper as fatal to him. In answer to the question, what was the considera? tion that he woe to give Humbert for laoaoring bis drafts and taking his paper, he had answered that he was to divide tbe discount with him. Mr. Jeter quoted the statute which makes a pabiie officer liable to indiotment, without privilege of traverse, and upon ?-oaviotion, fine and imprisonment, who shall be guilty of any official mis -conduct, habitaal negligence, babitnal drunkenness, corruption, or fraud, or ?oppression. Sorely, be concluded, we eaauot regard as a light offonoe the complicity of a Senator with an official so oorropt transactions, when tbe offiaial himself is visited with snob eteru condemnation of the law. Men who make law for others most not assume exemption from ita penalties when they violate it. They ore re? sponsible in a greater degree than -other men. After some farther discassion by ^Senators Dunn, Maxwell and Swails, ttpeaking against the motion to expel, the Senate came to a vote. There ?were 12 for to 19 against expulsion. A ?evolution by Maxwell to oensnre was ?tthd rawu, and the Senate adjourned. And so ends the whole affair. Yesterday*, torjhe.fiist time since 1835, ai) ioe bridge waa formed on tbe North River, by means of whioh four man crossed from- the foot of 14th ?treet to Hofcekeo. A large crowd <vutueassd the feat.. Ttae Jury U?. ' In the House of Representatives, a few daye ago, Mr. Howard, of Marion, presented tbe presentment of the grand jury of that County, in whioh they say j that the scheme of drawing juries has been perverted iu praotioe. It is SO done as -to exclude intelligence and competency. The remarkable faot Is 'mentioned, that, witb a majority of ; white voters iu the County, not one fifth of them are represented on the jury lists at the present term of the oourt. Tbe grand jury very properly present tbe law und the praotioe under it as a grievance, tending to destroy the coufidencu of the County in the ad? ministration of justice. The evil com? plained of in Marion is common to most of the Counties uf the State. In many of them there havo beeu failures to have any oourt at all, in conse? quence either of the blundering or de? sign of the Jury Commisaiouers. Big orimiuals bu7o escaped trial in this way. The law puts it iu the power of the Commissioners to constitute the jury to suit themselves or purty. They are to prepare "a list of such inhabitants of their respective Counties, not ab? solutely exempt, as they may think well qualified to serve as jurors." There is tbe root of the evil. Dr. 'Barker, of Edgefield, we are told, made a sensible und judicious speech, on Wednesday, upon the Burn well-Blaokville matter, rebuking the olnp-trap aud partisan appeals whioh had been resorted to. Yesterday, O. P. Leslie led off in a violent and abusive harangue upon matters und things iu general. It was the same speech that he had delivered on several occasions during the preseut session, equally appropriate to ono subject as to another, and never touching the merits of any. Mr. Miller, of Beau? fort,* riddled it pretty well. There i being no fire,, the House sdjoorned. I I. i ?i??; Labo* Sm?lt Vlnclt?No. ?. BT JUMU3. South Carolina to-day, from tbe moqutaioB'jd'lhe seaboard, has buried and bid away in the rioh boaom of her varied tjo.il,1 enormous wealth and more magqifijjyant results to bo developed than was.displayed before the age of Aladdin in the opening of the jewelled magio garden. The question here arises, bow is this to be developed? It cannot be done by the theoretical dis? sertations of dreamy theorists. It oan not be done by Utopian schemers. It cannot be done by prejudiced, narrow minded,selfish plans of ambitions plot? ters. It cannot be done by ' mythical systems. It oannot be done .by talk? ing politios, aud framing idle resolu? tions, aod appointing committees to wait on great men to do so and so, but simply by every man putting his shoulder to the wheel, ploughing the land, planting oats, wheat and com, instead of talkiug of railroads, banks, resumption of specie payments, and plotting and scheming Imw to go to the next Legislature. It can be dono by every agriculturist trying to mukc his own fertilizers, instead of wusting bis money ou imported guanos at $00 to SdO a ton. It aao be done by the energy, will, determination, persever? ance, of home-native mnecle and ef? fort, and the non-regarding of foreign immigration. It can be dono by show? ing the colored mnu that yon cau do without his labor iu the cotton-field. It can bo done by pluutiug less und fess cotton, opening more pastures, raising more stock, more gram, work? ing more yourselves, living more eco? nomically, aud manufacturing more yarns. Inattention to business, gene? ral bad policy and mismanagement has brought a large majority of the people of this State to bankruptcy, and has well nigh ruined the State. Iu tbe midst of this genersl state of despera? tion, all sorts of expedients and mea? sures are resorted to, without any de? gree of statesmanship being exhibited. Public-meetings are oalled together. The papers teem witb theoretical edi? torials. Men who call themselves dis? tinguished, and who are crazy for office, pour forth wordy speeches. Schemes are suggested without reason. Parallels are drawn with different pe? riods in history, without regard to the statns of tho oumparcd countries, and predictions of this and that made as tbe certain result. What does all this gas avail? What will or does it work out? Can it poseibiy solve the great problom of independence? Can it re? store the health, wealth and proeperity of tho State? Can or will it bring about what is desired? What dis? covered this country? What has built it up from Maine to California? What bas constructed the magnificent rail? roads, telegraph Uno?, cities, covered the seas and rivers with steamboats and ships? What but action, action, action?work, work, work?labor, labor, labor ?lot labor bmnia vinciit ' An attempt was recently made to murder Mr. Wm. Clyburn, Sr., of the upper part of Kerabaw. The would-be assassin pretended that 'he wanted to purchase goods at a late-boar of tbe night, and when Mr. C. appeared, fired upon him, but fortunately doing no further damage than breaking a pitcher. Jennings families in Edgefield have vein/ reeently ascertained that there is uo immense fortune left them, in Eng? land, Of about $200,000,000: To THE Editor of THE Phcbnix: During tbe period which bee elapsed since tbe death of Judge Green, end more especially since the publication of my card in the Union-Herald, of tbe 6th instant, I have waited patiently for expressions! of opinion from the people npon this important subject. I consider it tbe dnty of every citizen of tbe State to make the question of eleotion of a Jndge, who is to decide npon matters of law and equity be tween man and man, a matter of indi? vidual as well as public interest. I also consider it bis duty to use his in? fluence, so far as is consistent with justico und personal dignity, to the eleotion of un opright, huuoruble, ca? pable Judge. Until within u few days, however, but little has beeu said, nud, as f .r as can be judged, but little iIolo toward thin cud. Two days since, two articles uppeured in tbo Union-Herald, oue t-igned "Republican" and the otber "Conservator." Tbe first wan evidently written by some ono who de? sires tbe position for himself or for u friond, m(? tbe only qualification re? quired is that hu shall be u Republi? can, lu other words, thn candidate may bo totally unqualified in overy re? spect to fill tbe office, bat if he could be couuted ou to vole for tbe meanest dog in the State, should he bo nomi? nated for office by the regular Repub lioau party, then h? should receive tbe vote of that party for any office lo which he may aspire. "Cousorvutor" tiikes a different view, and although hi t candidate seems to stand oc> chance of election, "Conservator" certaiuly bos no reason to bo ashamed of his nominee, for the namo of General J. 13 KersbaW is synonymous with all tbat is upright, gentlemanly and pure Tbat ho is honest and capable, no one will deny; tbat a just and equitable construction of tbe law m all cases brought before bim would be certain, were be to be elected Judge, uone cau doubt; but then he lacks what ih to some a most important, and to others the only, requisite?the belief that a Republican can do nothing wrong, and tbat n Democrat can do nothing right. So much for Ueu. Kershaw. Now I am free to say tbat were all other things equal, being a Republi? can, I should prefer to .see a Republi? can elected; but where such marked differences exist, where the candidates are incapable and dishonorable upon the oue hand, and honest and capable upon the other, no true man cau hesi? tate I do not advocate the election of any man, bat simply ask what evtry citizen of tbe State has a right to de? mand, that the; bent man be chosen. I have no personal acquaintance with any of the candidates .except F. J. Moses, Jr., W. J. Whipper and L O Northrop. Of tbe first named gen? tleman (?) I have already spoken, and hundreds oan testify to the truth of my statements. Of W. J. Whipper, the less said as to bis qualification to fill the office of Jndge, the better. That be is unreliable, unscrupulous and dissipated, is well known. Mr. L. O. Northrop is, without doubt, far the best man talked of in Republican cir? cles; but has be the ability and experi? ence tc fit him to fill such a responsi? ble position? Is he sufficiently well rend in law to decide justly and rightly all cases whioh most of necessity c?me before him? My opinion, aud that of thobo beet qualified to judge, i? that he is not so qualified, lint should he be elected, he will not throw that dis? grace upon tbe Stute aud the Republi? can party that must of necessity fall npou them from the election of either of tbe two firot named candidates. There are tnuu in tbo State who can bo elected, who would reflect credit upon both the State and the L^givli tnre that elected them. Let such a man be oh ose o, aud thus prove lo the peopie that our representatives uro no! actuated solely by selti-h interests, and that ull offices within their gift nre not, as charged, filled only with those who have beeu deepest in corruption and party trickery, in the election of Judge for the Third Circuit, let the action of (he Legislature be snch a re? buke to the Chief Justice of the Su? preme Court of this State, that he will not again eo demean himself as to lobby in tbo interest of his own son, and moro especially when that sou is so notoriously had, and when no one can possibly know tbe fact of the aon's outrageously bad character better than his own Tather. EDWIN F. GARY. -!-t 'm'im * COHSUICFTTVBI, Take NOTICE.? Every moment of delay makes your onre more hopeless, and mnoh depends on the judicious choice of a 'remedy. The amount of testimony in fsvor of Dr. Sohenok's Fulmonio Syrup, as a euro for consumption, far exceeds all that can be brought to support the pretensions of soy other medicine. See Dr. Sohenok's Almanao, contain? ing the certificates of many persona of the highest respectability, who have been restored to health, after being pronounced incurable by physicians of acknowledged ability. Sohenok's Pal monio Syrop alone has cured many, as these evidences will show; but the onre is often promoted by the employ? ment of two other remedies whioh Dr. Sohenck provides for tbe purpose. These additional romediea are Sohenok's Ssa Weed Tonio aud Man daake Pills. By tbe timely use of these medicines, aooording to direc? tions, Dr. Scbecok certifies tbat most any case of consumption may be oured.

Tim President ruled that u quorum of .Senators elect was a House, and, therefore, that a two-thirds veto of the Senators present was requisite for ex? pulsion. Tins ruling wui sustained by u vote of the Senator.*. Mr. Duncan submitted a resolution, which, after debate, wm not agreed to, that whereas tho testimony tak< u by tho Senate special committee to in? vestigate charges against .Senator T. C. Audrews, of Or.iugeburg County, and submitted on the 5th day Febru ary, 1875, shows that the conduct and transactions of the said T. C. Andrews with J. L.

Anticipate tub Enemy ?Rational reader, if the aspect of the weather was unoertain, you would not be foolish enough to venture oat without aj overcoat or an umbrella. Havo the forecast, then, to protect yourself at this dangerous season with something more important than either of these articles. Strengthen your stomach and nervous system, regulate your liver and your bowels, tone all your organs and cheer your animal spirits witb that agreeable cordial, tonic and alterative, Hostetter'a Stomaoh Bitters. So shall you surely escape the diseases whioh fasten upon the feeble and do bilitated. "Suffor uud be strong," says tho proverb; but "B<j strong that you may not suffer," i? tho wiser maxim?and of all strengthening pro partitions this is the safest, tho surest, the most genial. As a remedy, as well as uu antidote, for dyspepsia, fever and ugue, und liver disease, there is no j combination of vegetable specifics at I present known whioh even approaches I it iuetBcacy. Anticipate the enemy. Thti elements of innumerable diseases j are afloat iu this raw, damn, mep'.ntio I winter air. Will you defend yourself agiiinst them or not, good reader? That is the question. A bottle or two of the great defensive medicine of the age, lioatetter'e Bitters, will so strengthen and brace up your bodily powers us to enable them to "laugh a siege to scorn." The morbid matter which was exhaled in perspirutiou through your pores iu summer finds no Kuoh free egress oow. A powerful counteracting agent is, therefore, needed, aod you have it iu Hostetter'a Bitters. They neutralize the mater tea morbi, from whioh disease originates, and regulate all tho secretive organs. Nothing oan be more harmless or more healthful; nothing so potent to pre? vent or cure biliousness, dyspepsia, fever aod aguo, constipation and gene? ral dobility, as this wonderful correc? tive.

If the Planter or Farmer bas not yet bought tbe Rural Accountant, a book for simple farm ac? counts, let him do so at once. They also have a New Agricultural Lease whioh gives tbe Landlord a lien on crop of tenant. This is very valuable.

The Lease op the Charlotte, Co? lumbia and Auocsta Railroad Com? pany.?We are advised that the edito? rial of tbe Neics and Courier, of Satur? day, the Cth inst., under the heading of "Discrimination against Charles? ton," does injustice to tbe committee appointed by the stockholders of the Charlotte, Colombia and Angusta Rail? road Company. In response to the proposition of the South Caroline Railroad Company, the committee in? sisted that, as a pre requisite to the consideration of any proposition, the leasing road must agree to give a bond, with adequate security, conditioned for tbe performance of the terms of tbe lease. Considering tbe faot thel tbe South Carolina Railroad Company has a very large mortgage debt, in ad? dition to a large floating debt, thii requirement of tbe committee osonol be regarded as unreasonable, before entrusting a large amount of bonds nol issued or used as collaterals, and a very valuable railroad property, lo the charge of the Sooth Carolina Railroad Company.
