[PRer{ield's I,Cller to Ciltinn i Comnamercld.]
CoLUMB3A, S. C., October 30.-Tho
more I see of the conditions of
affairs here the more am I convinc
ed of the utter hopelessnoss of the
attompt of the Republicans to do
Anything as a pI.rty. Thoy liad as
well disband at once, make ternis
to the enemy and bow to the in
avitable. The record of the party
is such, and the bitterness of the
whites so great, that nothing bear
ing the Republican name can sur
vive locally in power here. Under
our form of governnent there is
absolutely no remedy for this, no
way to provent a powerful and
ombittered minority from over
coming a weak and dofenceless ma
joriy. South Carolina is lost to
the Republicans, and will hereaftor
be as Democratic as Georgia.
I asked the postmaster here, an
inteliigent colored man, if he also
thought the case entirely hopeless.
He said he did, The Republican
party was departing this life in
South Carolina about as fast as any
thing he knew of. If it was lawful
and possible to station tho whole
United States army in the State,
with a detachimlent in each district,
the party might be saved tio long as
the army remained, but, the mIo
ment the army was withdrawn,
down would come the whole fabria.
It can't st-id alone any more than
An eipty bag in a heavy wind.
If there was no other objections,
(and there are many,) a Democratic
Congress hlats forbidden the use of
the army for such iiprses, and
the Federal prosecutions under a
rection of the Itevised Statutes
don't amount to a row of pins. So
there is no way but to fold our
arms under the Constitution and
see the lUepublican Party in 01th
Carolina ground into the sand. But
it's an ill wind that blows no good.
With the end of the party here will
end the race antagonism, the riots,
the outrages, and thA massaares,
These have long since 6esed in
Georgia, and in every other South
ern State where the Republican
party has not vexed the w1hite peo
ple by existing. The hopeless and
helpless condition of the blacks
here is fast dawning upon them, and
they are bowing to the inevitable.
Hence the formation of Democratic
clubs among them, and their
44cheers" for the Democratic apeak
era. But these cheers come only
from the throat, In his heart the
darkey wislies the grand old Demo
cratic party in perdition, The
North, whence they looked for sup.
port, has abandoned them, State
after State has wheeled into the
Democratic column, and they sub
mit, as thley suibnitted in slavery,
* because it is their nature. Indeed,
* if I was a South Carolina negro,
owning no property but seven
children and two dogs, (whieh~ is
about the average,) and working for
ten dollars a month, I don't believe
I would risk my life and alienate
my white neighbors in an efrort to
keep John Patterson in the United
States Senate, The very presence
of Patterson in official position has
caused many a poor darkey to
suffer. When the whites look at
this man tihey feel like killing six
iiggers. Nothing less will afford
an escape-valve for their pent-up
feelings.
VALUE OF SMhILEs.--sOmne people
go through life with a frown, or a
scowl, or a gloom in their counten
ance. Tile very sight of them is
chilling and repulsive. Others wear
a cheerful expression, and thus
lighten and bless all around them.
Tile value of a smile Is beyond
estimate. It coats thle giver noth,
ing, but ia beyond price to the
erring and repenting, thle sad and
cheerless, the lost and forsaken; It
disarms malice, subdues temper,
turns hatred to love, revenge to
kindness, and paves the darkest
paths with gems of sunlight,
"Johnny," said a sporting Third
ward father, "Johnny, what have
you got* in your flat ?" "Two

A Dazzling Collection of the Splendid
and the Beautiful.
With princely liberality Biron
Rothschild admits any one to his
Fairyland who takes the troublo to
write for permission, and however
much we may have boon thinking of
Haroun al Raschid, King Solomon
and the Thousand and Ono Nights
beforehand, we shall not be disap
pointed, Quitting tho railway at
the cheerful little town of Langley,
we drive past handsome couintry
houses and well-kopt flower gardons,
and thon gradiually ascend a road'
winding amid hill and v dily up to
the chateau, a graceful structure in
white marble, or so it seems, proud
ly commanding the wido landscap,e.
The flower gardens are ablazo of
colors, and the orange trees give
delicious fragrance as we ascend
the terrace ; ascend, indeed, being
hardly the word applicable to steps!
sloping so easily upward, and so
nicely adjusted to the human foot,
that climbing Mount Blanc, under
the samo circumstances, could be
accolnpliRhed without fatigue, 1L
is impossible to give any idoa of the
different kinds of mnagnificence that
greet us on every side. Now a little;
Watteau world in tapestries, having
for background sky-bluo satin and
rose ; now a dining hall, sombre,
gorgeous and majostic as that of a
Spanish palaeo ; now we aro traus
ported to Persia, China and Japan ;
next wG find ourselves amid un
speakable treasures of Italian and
other marblos. To come down to
practical details, it might be sug
gested to the generous owner of this
noblu treasuio o6use of art that the
briefest possible catalogue of hi.,
choicest treasures would unspeaka
bly oblige his visitors, Thore is,
hardly a piece of furniture that is
not interesting, alike from a historic
and artistic point of view, while some;
are chefs dxuvre both in design
and execution, and duz.;
zlingly rich in materials. Among
those ma1:1y be mentioned a pair of
chimney ornaments thickly hutng
with pendants of proeious stones
a piano -- which belonged to MA.rio
Antoinette-the caso of which is
formed of tortoiso-shell richly deco
rated with gold ; a cabinot set wih
emeralds, sapphires, and other jow
els ; another composed of various
precious stones ; ehairs and couches
covered with exquisite tapestry of:
the Louis Quinze period ; some rare
specimens of old cloisonnne woic,
also of F lorintine mosaics-these
forming a stuall part of this nig
nificont museum, 11 1 The striking
feature is the great (uantity and
variety of rich narb es in every
part, One of the staircases is en.
tirely formed of difoerent kinds of
rare marble, the effect being extra
ordinarily imposing. Elsewhere a!
room is divided by Corinthian col
umns of jasper and porphyry, and
on every side is displayed a wealth
and splendor in this respect quito
unique. Without doubt, nothing
lends such magnificence to interiors
as marbleP, but they require the
spaciousness and princoiiiness of
nuha chateau as this to be dis
played to advantage. Next in imn
portance, as a matter of mere deco
ration, must be cited the tapestries,
of which there is a rare and valuable
collection, chiefly in the hall, so
called, and where they are arranged
about the running gallery surround-.
ing the pictures. What this hall
mu tst be worth would . perhaps
sound fabulous on paper ; it is
here that some of the most precious.
cabinets are found ; treasures of
ivory, ebony, gems, gold and silver;.
and tile pictures alone represent a
princess' dowry. Examples of some
of tile great masters are here-Val-'
esquez, Rembrandt, Eubons, Claude
Loriaino. Bordone, Reynolds ; last-.
ly, among moderns, Ingres and
Hyppolyte Fiandrin. Much might
be said about the pictures if space
pormittedl, but they alone are worth
making tile journey from Paris to
see.-Frazer's Magazine.
TunE DEAooNsRAYER,-A good
story is told of a deacon in Tennes,.
see, who was in the habit of riding
a bucking mule-that is, a mule
that can make a camel's back of its
straight one, and, by a spasmodic
moveinent of its four legs and hump,
discharge its rider like a cannon
ball, The other day they came to
the edge of the worst mud hole in
the State, and the mule gave un
mistakable indications of bucking,
The good deacon knew that lie was
about to be thrown, and his mind
skurried about for a prayer. His
table grace came pasiest: "Lord,,
for whai we are abot~ to rieceive
Imnrie,tdumbly grateful," he ex
el1atui,da'nd the mule . bucked and
ha-was in.

quarters this morning greatly
oxeitod, and hold a aonsultation
with Inspector Dilkes. 11o stated
that tho body of A. T. Stewart was
missing from the family vault in St.
Mark's churebyard, at the corner of
Stuyvesait Place and S0cond ave
nue. The vault, ho said, had been
broken open. The casket was found
in the vault, but the body was miss
ing. Inspector Dilkes at onco mont
out the following general ordor to
all the precinctj: "The rrcm.ins of
A. T. Stowart were last night stolen
from the family vault in St. Mark's
churchyard. The casket was found
brokon open and the body removed.
The decomposition of the remains
is so offensive that they cannot bo
concealed. This is apparent from
standing at the opening of the vault
this mom ning, consequently it cannot
bo taken across the forrios without
discovery. Causo diligent search to
be madio in your prohinct, as the
remains havo evidently boon stolen
in hopes of roward."
RESPONSIBILITY OF CONFEDERATE OF
FICERS.-In the Supreme Court of
the United St-ttos last Alonday the
following important decision was
rendered. We copy from 'ho
NVational Republican :
Ford vs. Surgot. In errror to
the Supreme Court of Mississippi.
In this case it is hold that the de
struction of cotton by officers of the
Confederate army, in obodionce to
rebel military or(derA, was such an
act of war on the part of the military
forces of the rebeLion as would re
lieve the persons executing the
order from civil responsibility of
the suit, at least of any owner at the
time vomuntarily residing within the
lines of the insurrection. But this
conclusion is not based upon any
authwrity conferred by the acts of
the Confederate Congress, for it is
said they could give no warrant
whatever. It rests upon the bellig..
erent, riglits conceded to the Con
federate army, such concession plac
ing the so:diers aid officers -of that
arny, as to all matters directly con
nected with the modes of proecuting
war, "oi the footing of those e1
gaged in lawfui war."
A LEVEL-HEADED TAXPAYER,-Ono
day last Week while the County
Trea,surer's ofilco ,was crowded wi
taxpayers, anxious to avoid the
penalty, an old gray.haired, digni
fied gentleman, his face beaming
witl good hum11ol1, stepped up near
the count t nd courteouisly rids
ing his hat said, ' Gentlemen, bare is
a sick lady, sihe is twenty miles
from homle, she feels very badly and
I reqnest that y.u will all give way
and let her payl her taxes. I am
willing to give way to accommodate
her, If she is compelled to stay
here much longer I dread the re
aults."
Every man in the room, with the
politeness characteristic of Aiken
count- mon. immenditely withdraw
in her f.avor, The lady came up
and paid the taxes for the gentle
man who had been so uneasy about
her condition. She was his wife !
