PohrrfcAI GossP. As the period
approaches for the Legislature to as
semble, there is good deal of stir
among the Republicans with refer
ence to. the offices to be filled during
the. session. Candidates are as thick
as blackberries, and whatever pro-
misses most largely of profit will be
the subject of extensive purchase and
sale.
We understand that the contest for
the Speakership of the House will be
animated, If not bitter. The pro-
minent white candidate therefor is
Mr.. F. j. Moses. Jr., but it is said
that the colored members propose to
run one of their own race-probably
w. J. Whipper, of Beaufort. Indeed,
the statement has been openly made
by some of them, that "this thing of
giving all the fat offices to the white
men was about played out, and as
they had q majority of the votes in the
Legislature, they intended that their
color should have q fair showing,
especially in the race for Speaker
ship" Endeavors are being made
to conceal the disturbance, and to
have it settled in caucus; but the
colored members are bold in the
assertion of their "rights," and are
likely to make q fierce stand upon
them.
The rivalry for the United States
Senatorship appears to be confined
chiefly to DR.. A. G.. Mackey and Mr..
F. A. Sawyer. Parson French is also
in the ring, but his chances, from all
we learn, are few and far between.
The United States Marshalship is
promised to white man. What will
become of MIR. Epping, the incum-
bent, we have not heard, but he will
probably have something to say in
the matter.
1t is declared upon good authority
that Timothy Hurley has been as
signed the position of editor-in-chief
of a new Republican paper, which is
to be established in Columbia. The
Office will be supported by Govern
ment advertising and the printing of
the Legislature. twill be q "stock-
holders enterprise, and the pro-
minent members of the party are
represented to be earnest in the pro-
motion of the enterprise, to the ex-
tent OF liberal contribution each.

TO THE PUBLIC.

N yesterdays issue of the Phgnir, ap-
j. peared a card-''To The Travelling Pub
lie" by one p. F. Frazce, who has recently
purchased with the promise of paying for
the same) the stables of the late William
Hitchcock-said card containing language
which ho may consider very Injurious to
my fathers business; but for fear that the
combination Of .tdlsehoods published by
this mlschlevouS and insolcnt libeller NAV
be seen by some who are unacquainteG
with my fathers character, will, in con-
sideratiOn thereof, reply to tho radical.
his entire card is q base falsehood, and
the author has not only uttered an un-
truth, but he knows it to be untrue, and
he is devoid of all principle-which he has
proven by taking this opportunity, dur
ing my fathers absence. in issuing such n
base and libellous card. 1, as his son,
take upon myself the responsibility of re-
plying to his false printed libel.
who are his ready and willing witnesses?
and then they will find out his vile accom-
plices. This libeller gives this as his rea-
son for troubling the public: Because Mr.
Il. Joyner (my father) has made the mat
ter political issue. iIy reason is simply
because Frazee and his unbleached col
leagues have lied. l am personally re-
public to know that am running the only
Democratic line of hacka in this city, and
Will convey passengers to Nickerson' s,
Central. or National Hotel, free of charge,
and will be happy to wait on all who may
call on me. PAUL H. JOYNER,
In charge National Stables.
The following notice, taken from the
New York Day Book, of June 81, will at
once establish the reputation of p. F..
Frazee, which reads as follows:
Up. +. Fra2ee, u Northerner by birth.
Columbian by residence for number of
years previous to the war, carriage maxi
or by trade, and the patron saint of the
baudy houses Of Columbia, who, week or
two before the election, carried notorious
prostitute of this city to place of public
amusement; and, not content with retired
position, carried her forward to front
seat and sat beside her during the per-
formance. He lost. by the burning of Co.
lumbia, as is said by respectable parties
here, from $4,000 to $15, 900 worth Of pro-
perty, for which he has claim pending
against the Government sworn to amount
to about S142, ,000."
This will show the character of this man
who is willing and ready to swear to any
thing, and who is fit subject to claim tie
patronage Of the public generally.

SPECIAL NOTICES.

LET US PROTECT OURSELVES.
The physical structure of the strongest
human being is vulnerable everywhere.
Our bodies are endowed by nature with a
certain negative power, which protects
them, to some extent, from unwholesome
Influences but this protection is imper-
feet, and cannot be safely relied on in un-
healthy regions, or under circumstances
of moro than ordinary danger. There
fore, it is wisdom, it is prudence, it is COM
mon sense to provide against such con-
tingencies, by taking an antidote in
advance; in other words, by fortifying the
system with HOSTETTER'S STOMACH
B1TTERS-the most complete protective
against all the epidemic and endemic ma
ladies that has ever been administered in
any country. AS a remedy for dyspepsia
there is no medicine that will compare
with it. Whoever suffers the pangs of in
digestion anywhere on the face of the
earth where HOstetter's Stomach Bitters
can be proc cured, does SO voluntarily; for,
as surely as truth exists, this invaluable
tonic and Alternative would restore his dis
ordered stomach to healthy condition.
To tine nervous it is also especially re-
constipation it also affords speedy and per-
manent relief.
In all cases of fever and ague the Bit
ters is more potent than any amount of
Iuinine, while the most dangerous cases
of bilious fever yield to its wonderful pro-
perties. Those who have tried the medi-
cine will never use another, for any of the
ailments which the Hostctter Bitters pro-
fesses to subdue. To those who have not
made the experiment, we cordially recon-
mend an early application to the Bitters
whenever they are stricken by disease of
the digestive organs. July 8 CT

A CARD.
To the Travelling Public,


NHE undersigned has refrained from
Il answering the many assaults publicly
and privately made upon him; but the
following hand-bill, now in circulation.
seems to demand reply:
NOTICE TO THE TRAVELLING PUBLIC.
The undersigned takes pleasure in an.
nouncing to his friends and the public,
that he is now prepared to convey passen-
gers and baggage to and from the different
railroads, and will be happy to wait on all
who may desire to patronize the
ONLY DEMOCRATIC LINE OF HACKS
Now in operation in Columbia.
"All orders promptly attended to.
"Call for JOYNER'S LINE.
ROBERT JOYNER, Proprietor"
In reply to this card, submit the fol
lowing statement:
1st. That Mr.. Robert Joyner was al,
aspirant for the Office of Mayor of the city
of Columbia, and that his petition was
sent in to tho Union League OF that city
for the nomination for Mayor.
"a. That, on many occasions, he pub
licly avowed that he was a Republican and
with the Republican party. ~
Sd. That, If nominated, he would insist
upon one-half Of the Aldermen of the CITY
being nominated from the colored men,
and that he was willing to sit with them
in Council, and that one-half of the Police
should be colored men. This was pro-
missed by him, and 80 understood by us, to
enable him to give the casting vote in
pies of the Republican party. \
4th. The deponents further testify, that,
on the occasion Of a eerenade at the Ma
tlonal Hotel, Mr.. Joyner invited the party,
composed principally of colored men, into
his house, and there and then made the
statement that his house was open to all
u frrn @f
drank hand in hand with his colored
friends to the success of the Republican
party.
5th. The undersigned further state.
that, on the day previous to the election
for State officers and ratification Of the
Constitution, that Robert Joyner said he
would so down with the box to Gadsden,
and that, having great influence at that
precinct, he would do all he could to carry
the election for the Republican party.
STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA,
RICHLAND DIsTR1CT.
hereby certify that seven citizens ap-
peared before me and testified, upon oath.
that the statements made in the foregoing
card are true and correct in every particu.
lar.
Given under my hand this 1st July, 1868.
W. B. JOHNSTON, Magistrate.
In conclusion, the undersigned takes this
occasion to notify the travelling public
that he is prepared to convey passengers
and baggage to and from the different
railroad depots and hotels in the city of
Columbia, and that he will do his utmost
to please all who may patrolize him. He
further alleges that Mr.. Robert Joyner, on
one occasion, said that, if he could buy the
stock Of Mr.. Hitchcock, he would raise the
omnibus fare to one dollar, and that the
travelling public could either pay that or
walk. This is the man who asks the ira
Yelling public to patronize the
ONLY DEMOCRATIC LINE OF HACKS
Now in operation in Columbia
Mr.. r. Joyner having made this matter
a political issue, is my reason for troubling
the public. p. F. FRAZEE. .
