The daily phoenix. [volume] (Columbia, S.C.) 1865-1878, 1870-07-31

THEM?-Mr. VIM. Price-who resides
near Butcher Town-has presented us
with two monsters in the peach line,
which exceed in size anything we ever
saw, heard of. or read about. They
measure thirteen inches in rcunyference,
and weigh q pound each These peaches
are known as the Chinese cling, and
we're grown on Mr.. Prico's promises,
and those sent are an average of what
the tree produced. We have heard of
eight and ten ounce peaches, but q
pound is 80 far beyond, Us hardly to be
mentioned in the same breath.
A statement in the Republican, to the
effect that the arrivals ut Roses Hotel
were sent to the Democratic papers in
| Columbia every day, and insertion re-
fused, is untrue, so far as it refers to the
PHOENIX. Between 10 and II o'clock on
Monday night-nearly six hours after
the latest trains had arrived-a list of
arrivals ut tho aforementioned hotel was
handed in, and was omitted, solely on
account of tho latencss of the hour. No
arrivals have been furnished from that
hotel, with the solitary exception refer
red to, since the last agricultural fair.
This Mr.. Roso will corroborate. So far
rs Mr.. Roses Republicanism is concern
ed, we know nothing. In all our deal
ings with him, we have invariably found
him disposed to be fair and honest.

! In his penitential speech, in the late
radical Convention, our quontlum asso-
ciate in politics, Col. Graham, sneeringly
alluded to the class of ''ideas'' that had
governed South Carolina in the past. 1t
would be we'll for Col. Grahau to bear
this in mind, that if new ideas are to
control this State henceforth, it will not
long be tho ''ideas" that he has en-
braced. Heaven snvo the State, if the
genius of Whittemore & Go. is to give
direction to it. Doubtless the past of
South Carolina is not, in oil respects,
above criticism, but it i'll becomes those
who would fasten upon us an ignomini-
Gus regime to pass judgment upon the
mon who. in their day and generation,
with no selfish purposes and no unholy
greed, did what they deemed best for
the commonwealth.
