Mr.. STEWART AND CoLCSIBIA-Ou
readers will peruse with interest the arti-
Gle on Columbia. The writer, Mr..
Stewart, is resident OF Detroit, N1ichi-
gan, and though radical III his politics,
is said to be man Of means aud charac-
ter, and in disposition kindly and agreea-
bic. We must, however, not fail to. ex-
press our regret that our "canny Scotch
man" did not favor us before leaving
Columbia with one of his occasional con-
certs, as we learn that he was addicted TO
this amusement in his younger days.
Had he done so, we are satisfied that he
would not have been compelled to mako
SO hasty al exit rs on previous occa-
sion, when an unappreciating audience
constrained him to connect "dissolving
views" with the strains of poor music.
The TRADE OF Co1UMDIA-THE Cor
TON BUSINESS. The public are no doubt
aware Of the question raised between the
Columbia Board of Trade and the City
Council. That question turned upon
the right Of the Council to compel the
buyers and sellers of cotton to submit
the weighing of cotton to the cotton
weighers appointed by the Council. The
case came up before Judge Melton, and
as we have already stated, the decision
sustained the point made by our Board
of Trade. The consequence is, that all
cotton bought or sold in Columbia, is
not necessarily liable to be weighed by
the cotton weighers appointed by the
City Council. The public weighing is
to be resorted to only when the weighing
becomes q matter of dispute. We de-
sire to call the attention of the public to
this decision. The trade of our city has
suffered because Of the attempt to en-
force on ordinance which, we hold,
should never have been passed. Ear
nestly impressed with the policy Of that
principle OF free trade which places no
unnecessary restrictions upon the busi-
ness dealings of man with man, We hail
the decision with satisfaction. If A
brings his cotton to market and is salts
fed with the weights that 3, the pur-
chaser, gives, why not, in the name OF
common sense, let the buying and sell
ing be then and there closed? Our
country friends are assured that now no
reason exists why, rs heretofore, they
should not bring their cotton and other
merchantable articles to this market We
desire here to build Columbia up and to
gather here the solid advantages of q
thriving trade. Columbia, in this re-
spect, offers rare advantages, and under
wise and good government, must be q
considerable mart. Our merchants are
accommodating, intelligent and enter
prising. They are liberal in spirit, and
We feel satisfied that they are prepared
to make trade here rs advantageous to
purchasers or sellers, as is consistent
with what is fairly due to their own ir-
terests.

Many Of our readers may not have
fair understanding of the word "rentes,"
which occurs SO constantly just now in
our foreign dispatches, and whose rise
and fall seem to constitute the financial
barometer Of Paris. They are the funded
debt of France, not, however, in the
form of bonds, but simply loans from
the people. These loans are entered to
the credit of the lenders on the Govern
ment ledgers and draw specified rate
of interest. The holders of the debt are
called "rcnters," and tho fluctuations in
its value denote popular distrust or con-
fdencc in the Government.

The enthused writer next visits the
State Capitol, and contends that when
finished it will be "one of earth's orna-
nents." The Legislature was in session.
This body pleased him greatly, and very
much to his surprise, "order, decorum
and cleanliness" we're apparent"
he next gives US his views OF South
Carolina, and says:
South Carolina-the cradle of sedi-
tion and rebellion-is now the quietest
aud best 9oce7med STATE in the Union.
Her people are high-minded and honora-
bic, and best Of all, the interest on her
debt is paid promptly, and in gold,
which proves the assertion. The State
seems to be governed with Judgment and
honesty OF purpose, and the laws that
have been enacted arc judicious and inst.
This places her moro in accord with the
General Government and the people of
the North, than many others of tic old
slave States. This harmony is telling
Is of her prosperity. She is making
rapid strides in wealth, and in few
years her ancient capitol will be rs CAV
and brilliant as it ever was in tho palm
lest days Of slavery, with no evil ques-
zion to arouse and keep alive the worst
passions that can animate the human
o-east. as did their old pet idol, human
bondage.

A CAPITAL JoKE-And all the more pala-
table because it is true, and can be vouched
for, took place few Sundays since, at one of
the prominent Fourth street churches. 1T
seems that worthy deacon had been very in
dustrious in selling new church book, cost
ing seventy-iye cents. AT the services in
question the minister, just before !dismissiIng
the congregation, rose and said, "All you who
have children to baptize will please present
them next Sabbath The deacon, who by
the way was a little deaf and having an eye to
selling the books, and supposing his pastor was
referring to them, Immediately jumped up and
shouted, "And all you who haven't any, can
get as many as you want by calling on me- at
seyenty-fve cents EACH"
The preacher looked cross-eyed at the broth
ers, brothers looked ut the clergyman; the au-
dience punched the audience in the side, the
bubble grew larger until it burst in loud
guffaw; ladies colored up, crimsoned, blushed
and thanked the Lord for the low price of peo-
pling the earth. There was no benediction
that morning worth speaking Of. 75t s.9
The deacon, after he had found out his mis-
take, changed his pew from the front of the
church to the third from the rear; and though
he cannot hear the sermon he is consoled with
the thought that the young people can't snick-
or at him.-Ne,o Jersey Patriot.

A very satisfactory and equitable procedure
of the Paris government has been that OF
euua1izing the distribution of food. There is
no distinction of caste or privilege OF person
All fare alike. The price of meat and bread
is fixed. The quantity served out to the deal
ers is also fixed. The French government has
always been used in times of scarcity to lay
down O. tariff of prices, in order to avoid dis
content. The dealers are compensated by the
government for the difference between the tar
iff price and the commercial value. Mean
while the industrial occupations of peace are
at an end, carpenters and all engaged in works
of construction may indeed be made useful on
the military works, but the production of artl-
cles of luxury, for which Paris is renowned, ls
brought to a complete stand still. In Man
chester, during the cotton famine induced BY
the American war, the provision for the destl-
tute weavers, the factory hands, and the starv-
ing families taxed the energies of the local au-
thorities, as also the Christian charity of the
whole of Great Britain. What were these
quarter of million with full and free access
and communication from without, to the condl-
tion of the two millions in Paris The terri
BILE starvation sieges of history, in which long
protracted investment and constant harassment
BY the besiege IS were distinctive features have
always been of small cities. History has no
investment of two millions of people within a
vast enciente like that of Paris. Leyden, in
vested by the Spaniards, or Genoa by the Aus
trians and British, when rat was priceless
luxury, were small populations. In such a
congeries of human life as the great capital of
France the suffering would be appalling by its
very immensity, though the individual grief
might not hezmore intense.
-4he German leaders may well feel embar-
rassed in the tremendous catastrophe which
their operations may be the means of precipi-
tating Military success may turn out to
be political failure. Already the danger Of
republican sentiment seems to be felt in Berlin,
and has induced a withdrawal of state of siege
regulations, permission of free discussion, and
the promise Of general suffrage: But whatever
may happen-whether Paris shall free herself
of the invader OF whether she shall only OBJ
tain peace by submission-the present position
will furnish some interesting matter to the sta
tist and the historical inquirer.

WHITE AND BLACK.-The New York Com
n1ercioL Adyertiser has somehow come to- per-
cieve that somebody else is to blame TOR the
riots in this State besides the white people. a
recent number of that paper says:
There is much in the present situation OF
affairs in South Carolina to make US afraid that
she hasn't totally recovered from her late Sc
we're attack of political Indigestion or States
rights billiousness. Either that, or the imported
white folks down there who have kindly con-
sented to "run the machine" are not the sort
of men they ought to be. At every election
there is much bad blood manifested, &sd the
local authorities don't seem fit for anything
more than to get up and "holler" for United
States troops whenever disturbance threatens.
They have plenty of lungs; more than enough
wind to run balloon express, but no modera-
tion, no tact, no judgment, no common sense.
The white-and-black puzzle is too much Tor
them. Grant that peppery South Carolinlans
are hard to MANAGE grant that emanclpated
blacks are ugly customers when stimulated to
"feel their oats" by lightning whiskey oratori-
pas grant that the meeting of fiery Rhetts,
Pinckneys and Lamars with jubilant Sambos,
Gustayuses and Caesars is not sight to en-
counter the friends Of universal peace; grant
all this, and we have the strongest reason in the
world for requiring that the men who run the
machine" in South Carolina should bring to
their work the coolest counsels, the very best
practical judgment, the greatest decision of
character, and the most perfect freedom from
all political bias. That these qualifications are
wanting, we have proof enough in the scenes
of violence and bloodshed that periodically
disgrace the administration Of affairs in the
potnonttn Stafe

SAINTLY.-Brother Greeley, that stauncli
old republican, is in terrible way about somc
information which he has received from South
Carolina. His entire moral system has been
shocked by the reception of the news that
brother Whittemore is to be sent to the United
States Senate, and he administers the following
in the columns of the Tribune:
eft is announced that the cadet-peddler
Whittemore, who was driven from the canvass
for reelection to the House of Representatives,
is now q candidate for the United States Sen
ate. Before the Legislature of South Carolina
considers him in that light, it would be we'll
for it to remember that he is also o candi-
date for the penitentiary, under plain law of
Congress, the violation of which he does not
deny, and the penalties of which are explicit"
Alas! poor Whittemore How unjustis the
world How manifestly cruel that Greeley
should endorse the party in this State ofwhich
you are the head and front; that he should
laud your friend and compeer, R. <. Scott, and
pat your other friends on the back, while he
singles yoa out to be abused. How trite is the
old saying that Republics are angrateful..
And then, how extraordinarily inconsistent
is the Tribune, It processes to endorse Gov;
SCOTS party in this State, the very platform OF
which was written by B. F. Whittenfore, ahd
of which The sanity pedler is one OF the shi-
ming lights; but although Brother Whlttemore
he is not good enough to go To- the United
States Senate, forsooth. 1t is bad rule that
wont work both ways, and if Scott and Whit
temore are good enough for Office IL South Car.
olina, they are good enough for Office in the
United States Senate, and we hope that he viii
be sent there BY his constituency: He is as
good as most of them, and fully equal in point
Of morality and responsibility to anybody they
might select. AT the present the Reverend
Cadet-Pedler is only a State Senator. We wish
him speedy promotion to the National Legis-'
lature Come, Brother Greeley, don't go back
