The real issue now before the people, that

ment stand as part of the fundamental law OF
The land? .. .-..
Out of the general wreck of the reconstruc-
ton policy of Congress, the Tribune deems it
useless to try to save anything but the new
constitutional amendment. Ii therefore re-
presents the stability of that amendment as
the chief, and, so far as regards reconstruction,
the sole issue of the canvass. We Will not
stop to remark on the dishonesty of this re-
presentation; our object is merely to call
attention to the great ''change of base" which
the fears of the Tribune impel it to attempt
There is nothing in 'the fourteenth amend
II ent' which forbids the exclusion OF every
Southern negro from the ballot-box. Ii they
are excluded, the States will have proper
tionally fewer representatives in the lower
branch of Congress, but the amendment per-
mits them to regulate the elective franchise as
they please. The fact that the Tribune tries
| to retreat to the position its party occupied
| before the reconstruction acts were passed, is
| a significant indication of their great unpopu-
| larity, and such confession OF weakness as
we did not expect from that quarter.

The Enemy RecOils E!

From the N. y World
The Tribune makes two noteworthy admis-
sions-one explicit, the other virtual. The
explicit admission is, that the Republicans
can succeed in electing their candidate for
President only by the most strenuous exer-
tions; the virtual admission is, that it is neces-
sary for the party to retreat from the Recon-
struction acts and fight the battle on
different issue. Both admissions are signal
flags of apprehension and distress. We first
desire attention to this paragraph ..a
Yet we do not believe, nor wish others to be-
heve, General Grants election certain. We
would have every one realize that the election
win If they work, but must lose II they are
needless or apathetic, We hope TO carry Penn
sylvan1a, Ohio, and Indiana In October, bui by
small majorities, such as will animate both
parties To more determined efforts In Novem-
Der. Our Indiana friends talk OF large ma
small one: We do surely hope To carry this
State but know well that lard work Is required
TO do IL. Friends OF Grant and Colfax! 40 not
believe we shall win easily; for, without siren.
uous effort we should not win at all. But work
on in assured conviction that victory is within
your reach" -
This is great lowering, nay, complete
abandonment of the vaunting and confident
tone which has heretofore prevailed in the
Republican press since the Democratic nomi-
nations. 1t has been trumpeted all over the
land that the Democratic party has defeated
itself; that its National Convention destroyed
Wudt6N6T SI6uu6T CuduC6b IL udu, ny lL5 plat
form and ticket. But 10 a new light has
dawned upon the Tribune; and as the rays of
the sun first gild the highest mountain sum-
mits and afterwards the lesser elevations, so
the rising Democratic strength which now
strikes the Tribune, will soon be perceived by
the minor organs of the same party.
We are neither pleased nor sorry that the
Republican leaders have at last realizing
sense of their weakness and insecurity. Ao-
tivity will no more save them than supineness,
so it matters little whether they prosecute
their campaign in a sanguine spirit of conf
fdence or with the spasmodic energy of despe-
ration. In fact, everything they have done
for the last ten months is a symptom Of dis
crepitude, but most of all the nomination OF
such man as General Grant. Why did they
go out of their party to nominate him
Simply because their party had 30 sunk in
public confidence that they had no hope Of
success with any of their old leaders. But
the nomination of Grant has not helped them.
In every election which has been held since
it was determined on, the party has lost
ground. And now, after sighting all their
old leaders for a neophyte, and found that he
is weak candidate, they begin to feel the
necessity of casting aside all that is most
characteristic in their policy. Observe how,
in the following paragraphs. the Tribune
attempts to befog and shift the issue:-

The last returns, which we published yester-

Many years ago the writer of this
notice and an invalid physician,
while visiting the Island of st. Croix
for their health, experienced and
witnessed many surprising and bene-
fetal effects of the Rum there pro-
duced upon many of the invalids who
were, like ourselves, seeking health,
and upon inquiry and investigation,
obtained full history of its medi-
cinal virtues. He was delighted and
surprised, and determined to make
it the basis of Tonic and Restora-
the Medicine. The result of his labors
was glorious success for himself
and suffering humanity. The cele-
brated PLANTATION BrrTERs was thus
made known to the world. Being
an article of real merit, founded on
new principles, and relying wholly
upon the vegetable Kingdom for its
medicinal effects, it worked rapid
revolution in the treatment of ply
steal debility.

Cured one of the most melancholy
accidents that has happened in our
city for some time. Mrs. j. E. Os-
borne, residing at the corner of Lii
berty and King streets, was engaged
in handling can of kerosene oil,
with lighted lamp near, when, by
some accident, the light was commu-
nicated to the oil, and an explosion
ensued. Before assistance could be
rendered, her clothes had burned to
a cinder, and she lay upon the floor
terribly burnt, and almost in dying
condition. No hopes whatever are
entertained of her recovery.

Some ultra members Of Congress,
together with few Northern Jour-
mails Of the same stripe, not content
to await the slow process of Minister
Iohnson's diplomacy for an arrange
nnent of the Alabama claims, have re-
sorted to the plan OF bullying Eng
land into a settlement. Senator
Wade says he would stop palavering
over the matter, and make England
this proposition: ',.Here is the bill of
the depredations on our commerce
by the British-built and British -mu-
nitioned Z and provisioned and
manned rebel cssisoz Alabama; and
We want the money or your answer
yea or may" This, says the New
York Herald, is the only settlement
which viii satisfy the American peo-
pie. We ARE not satisfied that the
Herald or Mr.. Wade speaks the senti-
nents of the American people, or that
one American in ten cares far
thing for the result of the claim
one way or another; but are certainly
very sure that the damages claimed
on account OF the Alabama are not to
be got out of England in that way,
and that the sooner these Hotspur's
curb their mettle, the further they
will be off from the contingency of
back-down. England was never
known to yield anything under q
threat, and if the Government is
really in earnest in presenting these
claims, the more dccently they go
about the matter. the better will be
the prospect of success.

Agricultural Development of the
State.

Mr.. EDITOR: L read, in a former
number of the Phenir. an article
signed ssYirginia," setting forth some
of the inducements, agricultural, me-
chanical, &o., that South Carolina
Offers to those who would find plea
SAINT homes and profitable invest
ments for surplus capital. This is
praiseworthy undertaking on the part
of"Virginia," and should be followed
up by others; for, if we would induce
capitalists to migrate hither and in
vest their means in the development
of boundless resources, we should see
to it that an unvarnished account of
the native characteristics of each sec
4ion of our State, be published for
the guidance and information ofthose
in search of homes.
South Carolina is so diversified,
not only with regard to scenery, eli
mate, &C., but also with respect to
her agricultural and mechanical faci-
ities-ranging, as it does, from the
mountains to the sea--that it occurs
to me, the most fastidious taste might
be CERTIFIED upon some spot within
her vast territory. AS "Virginia" has
shown little mot by any means an
unbecoming) selfshness in calling
attention to some of the inducements
offered lit the vicinity of Columbia, 1
I'll
myself principally to Spartanburg.
This is known as one of the mountain
Counties OF the State, from its prox-
unity 10 the Blue Ridge range And
though there is no mountain within
the area Of the County, it possesses
the clear sparkling water, the fresh
balmy air, &C., peculiar to the noun
tain slopes. There is not, perhaps,
on earth, a spot more conducive to
physical vigor and longevity than
Spartanburg. Indeed. there is abso-
lutely no cause, of local character,
for any disease whatever. The
streams, naturally fresh and pure.
move rapidly away, SO that there are
no stagnant pools, producing miasma
and creating fevers. This fact, of
itself, cannot be too highly estimated,
especially by large capitalists, who
might desire to engage in extensive
manufacturing operations, giving en-
ployment to hundreds, and perhaps
thousands, of operators, upon whose
vigor depends SO greatly the success
of large nndertnkers. The soil of
Spartanburg is free to yield all kinds
Of produce congenial to mild and
temperate climate. Corn, cotton,
wheat, rye. oats, sorghum, Irish and
sweet potatoes, peas, and, indeed, all
the serenls. vegetables and fruits that
the wants of the people demand, are
grown to perfection in this County.
AS to the amount of one or all of
these Il can be grown per acre,
depends, as in other countries, greatly
upon the seasons, manner of culture,
DC. AT the price the article at present
commands, there is perhaps as much
net profit in the culture of cotton as
IN any OF the articles of produce emu
merated. A large portion of the soil
in Spartanburg is, perhaps, better
calculated - retain manures than
any In the State, owing to it's red.
