COLUMBIA, S. C.~ Sunday Morning, Arpril 4, 1875.7f Prosperity, Quoth He.. ? The Union-Herald protests that it.^ras in dead earnest in asserting the recovered condition of South Carolina from the dcHolations of war, and the rule of the carpet-bagger and hin credulous ally. We were charitable enough to consider it as indulging in a joke. But it comes up with its figures, its observations of pass? ing events unit us bigns of manifest im? provement, to establish its position. It is infinitely ludicrous' and the writer does not justly appreciate himself as a humor? ist He blends n little of truth, too, in his humor to mako it go down. Nobody means to assert that tho energy of the people is dead, that they arc not strug? gling manfully and successfully in many places against all the evils and losses of the past and all the spoliations and op? pressions of the present We constantly have occasion to note that "there's life in the old land yet" We have had the | pleasure for several years of summoning them to renewed exertions, of pointing out the various avenues to tho advance? ment of their fortunes, to the recovery from their losses, to diversified indus? tries, to the establishment of manufac? turing interests and to the improvement of%their agriculture' Wo have faithfully sought to bring into play again those moral and intellectual forces, without which tho plough and spindle, tho anvil, hammer and plane aro but inefficient tools in listless hands. Tho streams of our lifo are either poisoned at the foun? tains, or flow impeded by baleful obsta? cles at every turn. They must be puri? fied and cleared before their course can bo prosperous and fertilizing. The prime need of' our peoplo "is tho advantages of education, the honest and economical administration of tho Government, i low taxes, fewer offices, smaller- salaries, and a speedy riddance from the corrupt influences which have followed in the track of war, bringing a worse train of evils than war itself. ? It would he strange, indeed, if we had not effected something by the extraordinary exertions we have been compelled to make. But no one with a spark of manly feeling in him, no man who is not an alien to every sentiment of affec? tion and reverence for the past glory and prosperity of this State, who has a drop of blood in his veins running in sym? pathy with the terrible wrongs inflicted on thio people, more especially since tho close of the war, can look upon their condition to-day and call it really pros porous. . To do so, he must be calloused in indjfferenoe, or the victim of a strange delusion. People manage to live, but how many educate tbeir children? Where are the schools, colleges, and other evi? dences of civilization? where the moral tone, tho just sentiment the honor that shrinks from wrong, the spirit of justice, the immovable. integrity, that character-, izo a peoplo free, prosperous and ele? vated? Not gone absolutely, but all covered over and hidden, inert und almost paralyzed by the moral miasma which surrounds them. We aro happy to believe we have been tho promptest to acknow? ledge that there aro signs and evidences of an improved condition of things within the last few months. Tho skir? mishing has begun, the opposing forces have met, and the friends of honesty and decency, those .who really care and feel for the rights, property and well being of the people, have cause to take some hope from the results of the en? counter. But tho battlo hits only just commenced. It will he long and desperate. It shows but a shallow appre? ciation of the coming struggle, of tho immense powers that are to be engaged, of the vital issues involved in it, to claim already the fruits of victory. Prosperity, contentment, happiness of the people, the true renaissence, can only come from the liberation of tho forces and influences which compose at once the foundation and superstructure of the State, and give it its only healthy and normal activity. Owing to peculiar circumstances, whatever views aro possi? ble in the American system have gathered here with all their intensity and vio? lence. Until this headless excrescence, this foul carbuncle, full of corrupt mat? ter, with no exit w hi oh itself can make, is removed, we must languish, showing only the signs of a spasmr/dic, and, per? haps, hurtful vitality.

A number of distinguished Conner va tive Republicans are taking part in the Connecticut canvass, supporting Gov. Ingersoll bocattse of tho distinct hssuo made in that,-State by the Republican State ticket in favor of President Grant's < destructive policy relativo to tho .South? ern States. Amongst others mentioned, is ex-Governor Curtin, of Pennsylvania, a tower of strength to any cause he sup? ports." The Democrat* show a liberal policy in supporting Judge Pholps and ex-TJnitod States Senator Foster, Repub? licans, for Congress. It is to he hoped that Speaker Blainc will stand firm in his opposition to tho Administration candidates, but there is room to doubt | him, from the despatch published yes? terday morning. -? ? ? ? The Philadelphia Press, of Monday, calls upon tho country to stand by the President. It boasts that the resolution of endorsement, passed by tho Senate, is the "first plonk of the platform on whioh wc arc to move forward to victory in 1876." The Press has a happy faculty of 0**uwing comfort from Bmall things. That resolution is the quint essenon of milk and wator. It is tho strong damnation of tho faintest praise, and yet the strongest that tho Grantites could daro to express. ? * o-? ThbW, L.I. Fair.?This niuch-tolked of and truly charitable affair closed last night. 1A very large sum was realized, as a majority of the articles wcro donated. Tho feature of Friday night was the pre? sentation of a stand of colors by the military companies of Boston. The fol? lowing letter from Governor Chamberlain was read: EXECUTIVE DEPAnTMRNT, CoEUMBLi, S. C, April 1, 1875. James (f. Porter, Esq., Secretary W. L. I.?Dem: Sin: I havo received your in? vitation to mo to be present at tho Fair of the Washington Light Infantry, in Charleston, on Friday evening nefxt My health, I regret to Bay, will not allow me to accept your invitation, but I thank you most sincerely for the invitation, and particularly for the very kind terms in which it is couohed. I feel a special in? terest in the success of your fair", as an occasion which promises to draw out in fresh and gratifying manifestations the sympathy which tho two great sections of our country fool for eaoh other. In some ' private and public ways, it has been my privilege to add my efforts to yours in j securing from the citizens of Boston some expressions of their good will on this oc? casion towards tho people of Charleston. I am gratified to perceive from your let? ter, that there is one ground of union and harmony on which we can all stand? fidelity and devotion to the welfare of the State of South Carolina. I intend to persevere to the end in that course which has thus far mot your kind approval, and I shall hope to receive in the future, as I havo thus far, the earnest support of all I men in our State who regard public of-1 flee and power as a trust to be held and | exercised for tho good of all tho people. I trust your fair will be crowned with complete succors?success in its imme? diate objects, and success in those broader objects which it seems destined, under a kind Providence, to promote. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, D. H. CHAMBERLAIN. The Chicago Inter-Ocean figures up the indebtedness of Mexico to the Unitod States as $50,000,000 for American pro- ] perty destroyed by "greasers," and Ame? rican lives to the value of $12,500,000, extinguished by the sania parties. This total of $62,500,000 the Inter-Ocean thinks might be very easily paid by deeding to tho United States Sonora, Chihuahua, Coahuila, New Leon, and a few other bits of territory Korth of the Rio Grande de Santiago. This looks very plausible, but then it should bo remembered, that there never was such a feeling against the tmns fer of any territory to a foreign power, in Mexico, as exists at the present moment. Barring a few local tumults, Mexico is in I the enjoyment of more peace than she] has hard for a long time, public improve') inents of a valuable nature are going on, and it is not likely that she will consent to strip off some of hor best territory. Mr. Editor: Having been requested to repent the enteri iinment given by the Columbia Choral Union, on last Thurs? day evening, we have arranged to grant the request, and will bo ready on next Monday evening, at the Opera House, to appear again ns the representatives of the ladies and gentlemen of 1776. In ro Eeating, wo hope that all will give ns a elping hand towards securing our fine piano, which is really an ornament to the city. Verv respectful lv, C. J. IREDELL, President Columbia Choral Union. Another serious fire occurred in At? lanta, Thursday morning, beforo day? break. Commencing two stores below the recent fire on Whitehall street, it burned down [to Bodwine & Fox's cor? ner, and down Alabama street to Pease's ntore. In its course, it destroyed1 five buofnena houses, aa follows: Cohen & Zoligv dry goods merchants; Mrs. W. O.

Tho gardens look as if they, would if they could, and tho grass in growing ferociously. Tho trees are nil in full bloom, and ? we predict a good fruit year.

Cotton has been rolling in briskly for a wook <>r so. Up to this time about 22,000 bales have been i ceived here. Tho dunnnd forgnano has not been so heavv as in previous years, but is still considerable. Spring goods are coming in, mostly through ordere. But few of o^ir mer? chants have gone North so far. There is j a revolution taking place in this respect. Merchants now are ordering their goods through drummers. They say they save by the operation; con make us good soleotions as if they were to go, and. in fact, do better. Tnis will have an effect on advertising, and be apt to introduce a new system of it. Change is the order of the day. Politics here seems to be a dead letter; neverthelss, "things ere working." The politicians are as quiet as church mice, and as sober as judges, from tho fact that there is no one to treat. Tho Court of Genend Sessions has been actively engaged in cotton stealing oases, which seems to havo become very common. Solicitor Fleming goes for them with a vengeance, and if a fellow escapts, ho has to be satisfied. The case of the State us, Glovor was continued. In the case of the State vs. Kitchens. For murder, he was acquitted. Judge Moses . presided with dignity, while be is urbane, polite and courteous to the bur.

RODOLPH. ? Plain Words for the People. --When broken down in health, strength and spirits, it is not necessary that we should ask a medical man whether ah in vigorunt is necessary. Common sense tells us that it is. The only question to bo de? cided is, what the invigorant shall be. A sbindard tonic and restorative, which has been many years before the public, and in which millions of the intelligent classes repose the fullest faith, seems, in a* case like, this, to present the strongest claims | to the confidence of the prudent invalid. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters may be truly said to possess these high recommenda? tions. Its triumphant progress during a period of twenty years, its present popularity, and tho uniform success which attends its use in indigestion, nervous debility, biliary complaints, fever and ague, and all ailments which depress the physical system and enervate the mind, entitle it to the rank of a stan? dard national specific. It is regarded in that light by tue community at large, and hundreds of thousands of both sexes resort to it at this season as a preventive of that numerous and harassing class of | diseases which take their rise from the miasmatic winds and vapors of spring. It is a stimulant, a tonic, an alterative and a mild aperient ?four essential re? storative ami protective elements of the malaria met/tea?united in a single agree? able preparation. Every ingredient is vegetable, of the finest quality, and ab? solutely pure. Hostetter's Bitters is better known, held in greater aiteem, and com? mands a larger sale than any other pro? prietary medicine manufactured in this eonntrv or imported from abroad.

The Governor has signed the following: Acts to amend nn Act to reduce all Acts and parts of Acts relating to assessment and taxation of property into one Act, and to amend same; to establish by law polling places in the several Counties. Tho following ore yet in his hands: To raise supplies for fiscol year commencing November 1, 1875; to reduce nil Acts and parts of Acts relating toConnty Commis? sioners into one Act, and amend same. The Governor has reduced the term of imprisonment of Berry MoRimmon and pardoned Aleck Green. Theso were tho two men who gave the alarm and pre? vented a general jail delivery a few days ago in Marion. Judge Townsend, the County officers and a large number of citizens recommended these pardons. A Railboad Train Obstructed by Miners.?The riotous feeling among the miners and laborers at Potto vi lie, Pa., is increasing.

An Indiana paper declares that "no lecturer ever became eloquent in his de? nunciation <>f ardent spitits till he him? self had been a drunkard," and the case of Goilgh, who is said to earn $2>0 & night, is cited as an illustration.

Tk?> Washington Capital says: In a few days, Grant's Hippodrome and Barnnm's Hippodrome will commence their sun? nier travels. Both are curious, expen? sive and not likely to be permanent. The world never had and probably never will have but one (Tr?nt and one Humum. Grant has got the biggest elophaiit. At least the Republicans believe ho. "Give the old man another chance." Poker John, a noble red man of the ' Piute nation, is said to be such a profi? cient at the game he is named alter, that ho has relieved his brethren of all their Government supplies, and has a corner on blankets, trowsers and provender. This exhibition of skill prompta several irreverent newspapers to suggest that Mr. P. John be made an ambassador abroad. So it seems a man cannot enjoy the privilege of marrying a former wife's grand-daughter in Tonnessee, and Robert ofcKennn must go to the penitentiary for five years in expiation of the offence. But theu what does a man want to marry a deceased wife's grand-daughter for, when there are plenty of pretty nncon sanguinities around'/ Postal cards havo become very popu? lar in the short while that they have been in use in this country.

The order is made returnable on the lllth. A French soldier is to be punished with death for insulting an upstart officer. This gives Victor Hugo an op? portunity to thus compare the case with that of Bazaine: "Having sold his dag, having surrendered his army, having be? trayed his country-?life; having struck his corporal?death!" Fashionable invalids in Florida are represented as having a charming time, dancing, ynchting, eating fresh vegeta? bles, shooting alligators, denying the allegation, smashing their medicine bot? tles, throwing away their crutches, and conducting themselves generally- in a jubilant manner. How sweet is a perfect understanding between man and wife. He was to smoke cigars when he wanted them, but he was to give her ten onts every time he in? dulged in one. Ho kept his word, and every time she got fifty cents ahead he'd borrow it an I buy cigars. And so were they happy. Julia Ward Howe says that "thero is nothing so beneficial to a young mau as the companionship of sisters." And to soe the young men of this city meander? ing about on Sunday evenings with other .fellows' sisters, you might fully infer that they coincided with Julia's re? marks. Wo have looked upon so many people in our time who were rich, great, courted and powerful, whom we afterwards met sunk in poverty and rags, with prestige lost, wealth gono. and health ruined, that we no longer think any one sate until he is dead. Mr. Hedgeman Brown recently killed "215 rice birds" at a single shot. He fired ouo barrel of hiB gun only, which was loaded with flno bird shot." So says the Dallas (Texas) Herald. Fish stories hav? ing become venerable some time ago, bird stories are in the fashion. A saloon-keeper in Now York has been arrested for stealing gas. Ho did it by fixing a rubber tubo under the metre, connecting the inlet and outlet, through whioh gas passed without being mea? sured.
