COLUMBIA.
Thursday Morning, July %. 1868.

One by one the radicals see their
strengthening props torn from them,
and the spirit of desertion spreading
through their ranks. The Chief
Justice, upon whom they relied to
place the seal Of loyalty on their
nefarious measures, left them, in the
moment Of their need, to publicly
enroll himself with their enemies.
The majority in Congress shifted the
coming storm, and fastened to pass
bill taxing bonds, in direct viola
tion Of one Of the cardinal principles
of radical faith, in order to pave the
way gracefully for future thorough
recantation. The old anti-slavery
party, on whose back they rode to
power, publicly scorned to carry
either Grant or his fortunes. With
the exception of Logan, and few
other similar third-rate politicians,
all the leaders remain strangely and
ominously unimpressed. In vain
Greeley scolds and prates of deep
earnestness, in view of the utter lack
of enthusiasm; and Grant sneaks off
on journey in which he finds none
to do him reverence. Look at the
great radical superstructure from
whatever standpoint we may, says
the New Orleans Times, "decay's
effacing fingers" are plainly trace
able. Its doom IS overhanging it
like q dark and portentous cloud,
soon to swallow it up in an eternity
of infamy.

pensed with, and the question left to
the decision of the Circuit Court,
which decided in favor of the heirs
of William Lee, and on an appeal
taken to the Court of Appeals, this
Judgment has since been affirmed. 5
In the report, bare allusion is made
to the fact of Lee having been on in
innate terms with woman in Gin
cinnati, by whom he was said to have
had the children.

Charleston Mercur.y, 21st

Hayti, says tho New Orleans Times,
i'll its sixty years of independence, is
fit illustration of the effects of
negro rule. In that time, from being
ono of the fairest and most prolific
islands on the bosom of the ocean, it
has become perfectly worthless as
producer. It's people have relapsed
into barbarism; the marriage rela-
tions is no more regarded than it is
among brutes; Fetish worship and
Woudouism have suppiantcd the
ceremonies of the Christian Church;
the most cruel excesses are every
where practiced, and the most beast
ly crimes sanctioned by custom.
Yet in the face of such sickening
evidence of the negro's incapacity
for self-government, the control of
ten once independent American
States has been placed in his hands,
through the madness of fanaticism.

the Winnsboro IS. o. Ne,os, MIR.
Oxner, upon taking charge of the
Office has found near 1000 letters,
from many of which the stamps had
been carefully taken off, about the

hood of forty or fifty letters, some of
them written weeks ago, butwhich

A new machine for navigating the
air, invented by Scotchman, Will be
brought out under the auspices Of
tho British Ecronautic Society. It is
q sort of bird, with body fifteen
feet in length, and wings stretching
out to the width of thirty-five feet.
A tail reaches out behind to give di-
rection to the movement, while the
wings are tapped by an engine of
forty-horse power. This, it is said,
can be mado to proceed through the
air ut the rate of forty miles an hour.

Forney's Press announces that
"Union politicians are traversing the
South promising peace and prosperi-
ty to all classes and conditions. {"
Organizing loyal leagues among the
negroes and picking up the property
of white men, is nearer the truth.
and much more agreeable occupation
for the carpet-baggers, an exchange
thinks.

Editor Columbia Ph@nir.
SIR: A short time since, number
of the citizens Of this neighborhood
organized themselves into On associa-
tion, under the name OF the '.Pal-
metto Benevolent Society,"" The
object of the society is for the relief,
MD and comfort of the poor and des-
titute of our Immediate neighbor-
hood. at the last meeting of the
society, the following resolution was
passed, "that copies Of the enclosed
preamble and resolutions, together
with notice of organization of this
society, be sent to the Charleston
Mercury and Columbia Phonir, with
request that they publish the same"
The society makes an urgent ap-
peal to similar societies, and to the
public, to aid them in their benevo-
lent purpose. Any contributions
sent to the care of the Secretary and
Treasurer, at Kingsville, will be thank
fully received by the society.
Very respectfully,
M. II. CLARK, Sec. and Tren'r.
Whereas, In consequence of the
impoverished condition of our coun-
try, superinduced by total failure
of the provision crops in this sec
ton, the last two years, famine and
want, to an alarming extent, seems
to visit every family; especially does
it appear that starvation is present
ing itself in the humble abodes of
our extreme poor. BE it therefore
Resolued, That we, the "Benevo-
lent Society,"" Notwithstanding our
comparative destitution,) actuated,
as we trust, by that Heaven born
principle benevolence, and moved
with sympathy for those that are now
in extreme want, and unable to de-
wise ways and means to procure food,
do unite our hearts, prayers AMI
energies, for the purpose of doing all
we can, under the guidance of q kind
Providence and the aid of q benifi-
cent public. to procure bread, SO as
to avert, if possible, this now seem
ingly inevitable starvation among the
poor
ReSoloed, That copies of this pre-
amble and resolutions, signed by the
President and the Secretary and
Treasurer, be sent to similar socie-
ties, North and South, with q short
letter, earnestly requesting their kind
and Immediate assistance in the
shape of corn or bread, however
small the Quantity it may be in their
power to give, to help supply our now
urgent necessities.

President Benevolent Society.

TAKE CARE OF THE CHILDREN
During cheated term," such as we
passed through last week, and may
experience again at any moment, the
following will be found good advice,
and W e beg such of our readers to
peruse and remember it, who have
the care of children:
"Animal food, quantities of fruits,
raw vegetables, and above all cold
water or other chilling beverages,
must be avoided. Farinaceous foods,
which can be varied in sort and
manner of preparation to the inclina-
ton of the child, and warm drinks,
are the proper ailments, and, if
absolutely necessary, at intervals, q
small dose of "Syrup of Rhubarb"
as a tonic. Avoiding too much
covering by day and night, as also
excessive exercise; bathing daily in
tepid water. These, and the usual
care dictated by common sense, are
the certain means of keeping young
child in healthy state, and preclud-
ing predisposition to most of the
diseases of childhood"

executed in South Carolina-as the

C1RcUs.-John Robinson's great original, in
> stellectual and entertaining show is bound for
this promised land, and the handwriting
.on the wall tells OF the wonders that will
coon be made public. The huge posters
: stuck up in Meeting g-street yesterday were sur
rounded by admiring crowds of darkies, who
feasted their eyes with the wonderful birds
,:and beasts depicted thereon. This show is
represented as being big thing on sawdust,
and the best equipped in every particular that
has ever visited Charleston. Certainly no
other circus or menagerie ever had Tartary
Ealpus, or any other yalpus that we overheard
OF, and we very much fear that Mr. Robinson's
.Tartary valpus may turn out to be- Gyaschu-
,tus under new name.

DIRECT COMMUNICATION WITH EUROPEAN
advertisement appears in our columns this
morning, giving full particulars of the line OF
steamships already noticed between this port
and Liverpool. The line will be composed OF
the following frst-c!ass iron steamers: The
Golden Horn, of 11SS tons, to be commanded
by Captain H. &. Macbeth; the Bosphorus, OF
$50 TONS to be commanded by Captain J. Muir
rell. and the Mar nora, OF 940 tons, " be COM
manded by Captain F. Murrell. The first YES
sci, the Golden Hcrn, will sail November 18th,
aud after that vessel will leave on the first
and fifteenth of every month. Arrange nents
have been made with the South Carolina Rail
road to forward cotton from the interior with
dispatch, and as Messrs. R. Mure & Co. charge
no commissions on cotton sent by this line, aa
excellent opportunity is afforded the planters
to send their cotton directly to Europe instead
OF sending it to New York, paying commits
sions both in Charleston and New York. This
enterprise is q move in the right direction, and
it is to be hoped that European goods will be
imported direct by the returning steamers.

SALE OF AN OLD BUSINESS SrAND.-Every
one interested in the welfare OF Charleston will
regret to learn thai the old firm Of Hastie, CAL
houn & Co. are about to close their business,
and leave vacant the important place which they
have filled for many years in the mercantile
community of this city. This house was estab-
lished in 1915 py the Hon. William Wright,
United States senator from New Jersey, and
has been in operation every since. The firm
has been very successful one. and in the
course of its history several members have re-
tired with comfortable fortunes. The large
stock of hardware and saddlery offered for sale
at cost affords an excellent opportunity for
country merchants to invest with prospects OF
handsome proft;;' and the new iron front
store in Hayne-street, together with the ware
house, opening on Market-street, is one Of the
best business stands in the whole city. Special
attention is directed TO their advertisement in
another column.

= Stone Mountain, Ga, tomorrow. Noticing
this movement, the Atlanta Intellisencer says:
Not only have aerculturalists, but all other
interests, languished for the last three years.
= IF the farmer carries his produce to Atlanta,
Augusta, CT any other Southern market. he
receives unrem lucrative prices for it. The
country is daily growing leaner and leaner.
Something must be dcne to remedy this evil.
We must carry our produce to markets where
= capital is abundant, and cultivate that charac-
ter of products that the wants Of that market
> demand. This will give employment to the
railroad and steamer, and bring money to the
exhausted pockets Of our. farmers. Then all
interests will feel it's beneficial effects.
We hope that our commission merchants
and railroad and shipping agents will be re-
presented in this convention.

of knowing where bargains to be obtained. Mr..

THE M1NsrnELs ARE CoMING.-The minstrels
of the present day differ somewhat from the
troubadours of old, but the troupe of Skiff &
Gaylord will be found equal to any that have
ever visited this city. They have just returned
from an extended Southern tour, and the fo.-
lowing e1trac. from the New Orleans Crescent
shows that they weie not unapprcciated in that
city:
The troupe at present occupying the boards
of the Old Drury should feel compllmentcd at
the flattering reception they have met at the
hands Of those to whom, but few weeks since,
they were almost all entire strangers. Their
success, as to the numbers OF their audi
ence, and the applause which is lavishly
bestowed upon them, is the legitimate re-
suit CT enlightened management AMI 2 de-
termination to please. Of all entertainments,
minstrelsy can least OF any afford to risk
repetition. 1t is next to impossible for any
one, however he may be given to exercls-
ing his risibles, to laugh tw.ce at the same
Jokes. The brightest sclntillations OF Wit lose
force and seem stale and fiat when drlmmed
eternally into the ears OF wearied audiences.
No company of minstrels. that we remember,
have understood more fully than the Siitf Il
GAYLORD troupe these truths, and consequently
their performances are varied and always en-
tertaining; one scarcely RECEIVERS from the
effect Of some ludicrous remark or scenc before
there is something else new and interesting to
claim his attention. If We were to suggest
any improvement, 1t would be that, if there be
no new songs that are pretty, selection be
made from the old ones, some or which are
really beautiful and never become tlresome
Willie Gaylord last night went through his re-
markable feats in truly astonishing manner.
This youngster, it is our private opinion, is
lacking in what is most essential part OF
other humsn beings-a backbone. He can
double himself up either way, and throw him
self in oil sorts of wonderful positions with an
ease which is marvellous. Professor Schaffer's
beautiful view concluded the evenings enter
tainment.

1t is stated that the General has an invalid
wife. who lost all her own means during the
war, aud two young children, whose education
1nust be provided for; and his salary Is his only
resource. His health is broken by long ser
.Yice in the army.
