REpUp1Ar1oN.--"Brick" Pomeroy's new
paper, the New YORK Democrat, is out boldly
for repudiation. In n editorial in it's third
number, on the public debt, it said:
We sweep aside the interminable discussions
about the terms OF the bargain, and ask simp-
". does Justice to the people require that the
bar ain be recognized2 II we find that cor
rupL Congress obtained the consent ofan igno-
rant, thoughtless and excited people to the
erection of that stupendous monument of
national folly called the national debt; if we
find that the debt was corrupty contracted
that it's term are usurious; if we become con-
vinced that national debt is the most power
full means Of national corruption; that it
causes an unequal and unfair distribution Of
property that it creates mischievous. idle,
non-prodL cling, uuta4cd, bonded aristJcracy
that 1t throws the burden OF taxation entirely
upon the laboring class; that it hampers pro-
duction and increases e1travagance; that 1t
max mllllL Lnaires on one side and paupers on
the other and that it breeds crime as the hot
sun breeds maggots; if we find, in word,
that national debt is an unmltigated national
curse, we shall waste no tune upon the written
law to discover it's letter or its spirit but shall
appeal at once to the higher law Of national
welfare which demands that 80 potent an evil
be at once abolished.

81, announce a great earthquake in Peru, as
follows:
a fearful earthquake took place in Callao
on the 18th inst, which lasted seven minutes.

IFRoM ouR OWN ooRREspoNDENr.]

COLUMBIA, s. c., August I.-Light is at last
breaking through the Ethiopian darkness Of
the session, and we can see adjournment dimly
in the distance. Two resolutions looking to
that consummation 30 devoutly to be wished
for. we're introduced into the House to-day.
One by Mr. Turnsr, Democrat, proposing ad-
iorrnment positively on the 18th pro1imo, and
one BY Whipper, prohibiting new business
after the 7th. The rapidity with which bills
and other measures have been hurried through
or cast aside during the last day or two, ID also
good omen, and think the prospect is favor
able for an adjournment by the 18th rroximo,
at farthest.
The veto Of the "Bill to alter and amend the
charter OF the City Of Charleston, and provid-
ing for municipal election and for other pur-
poses," was the next cheerful feast that varied
the nonotony of disagreeables in the hybrid
House. It fell like thunderbolt upon jerks,
the papa Of the little bill, and for moment 30
demoralized his cohorts that Elliott (negrol,
who has always opposed the bill, succeeded in
getting the House to 60 into committee Of the
whole for the immediate consideration OF the
veto. This maneuvre angered jerks, and in
speech advocating delay in the matter, he al
luded rather plainly to Eliotts railroad log
rolling. Elliott denounced him bitterly in re-
ply, accusing him of never seeking his ends e1-
cept by the lowest trickery. jerks turned very
red in the face, and said something about his
not being personal, and there the comic TRACE
dy between himself and Elliott ended. jerks
carried his point, and the veto and bill were
made the special order for tomorrow. The
veto defeats the scheme Of the Pillsbury men
to get immediate possession Of the city gov
ernment, that is, provided the bill is not pass
ed over the veto. It is not probable and scarce
" possible that it will be. Matters will proba-
bly be so arranged that the Charleston muni-
oipal election will come off at the same time
with the general election in November.
The bill to close the operations of the Bank
Of the State, Notwithstanding the favorable
opinion Of their Attorney General, meets with
more opposition than its friends would like.
1t is openly asserted that it is the scheme o'
spectators, and that they have spent large
sums to advance the bill to its present stage.
An elegant opportunity is afforded to the ora
tors who have not been paid Of crying aloud
in behalf Of the poor people, overburdened
with; taxation, against corruption, and at the
! same time keeping the chance still open Tor

THE NEWS FOR THE CAAPoAIGN-
GREAT INDUCEMENTS TO CLUBS

The importance of the great political con-
test upon which We have now fairly entered
renders the dissemination among the people
of sound political views and accurate ana ear
" information Of the progress and incidents
of the canvass, matter Of peculiar interest
aad expediency. Every individual who has
snv stake in the welfare Of these Southern
s.o+ea sbould give an active, personal and un-
tagging support to the candidates OF the
National Democracy-SEYloUR and BLAIR. A
triumph OF the Radicals will result in the
utter. desolation and ruin OF the South, and
the placing Of an ignorant and brutal race in
all positions and places Of honor and trust to
the exclusion of the white race. The govern
ment must be wrested from the thieves ana
plunderers who now have control OF IT, ana
power placed in the hands Of party pledged
to oive neace to distracted country, and to
make il government for white men, and not
for negroes. 1t is only necessary that the peo-
n,e should be thoroughly informed to accom-
plish this, and THE NEWS will be an admirable
means O.. diffusing this information. In order
to place the paper within the reach Of all, we
have adopted a scale OF reduced rates OF sub
scriution for the four months covering the
Presidential canvass, and offer besides peculiar
Inducements for the formation Of clubs. We
are determined that TIE News shall be the
cheapest and best newspaper in the South.

lation, its lsbors can be made powerfully efec-
