PERSONAL. We had the pleasure of
making General Early's acquaintance
during his visit to this city. We found
him the frank. direct end outspoken
man that he has always been represented
to be. Whilst here, he enjoyed the hos
pitalities of his friends, Generals Hump
ton and Preston. He was highly pleased
with the reception he met with in our
city, and SO expressed himself to us in
warm terms. He is every inch man.
We encountered, also. and were pleased
to form, the acquaintance of Governor
Sprague, of Rhode Island, who, inte-
rested in our Columbia Canal, availed
himself OF the occasion of our State Fair
to nuke us a visit of business and plea
sure. A number of our people made
Governor Sprague's acquaintance, and
We know that he made very favorable
impression. Although plain and unas-
suming in his manners. it is evident
that Governor Sprague is a man Of lihe-
raj views and great inteiigence-an
acute though quiet observer of men and
things. For ourselves, We regret that
business engagements prevented our
seeing more OF Governor Sprague, and
that his visit was not of longer duration.
The Messrs. Sprague had q number of
articles on exhibition, and curried off
several medals.

sponsibility Of the press" it is to be

the Unipn ahalt, ,be hefaFto asstsist 40
'oountabiliH forI all sthss emisehief i has
done and all tho evils it'has contributed
TO- bring upon this State,
The Union asks question. in its effort
to fasten upon the Dem mooratic press the
responsibility for its own vile work and
the work of its associates in venom and
Misrepresentation. It says:dt t
''To make the case still more strong,
what would tho people of this State say
about justice, il there should be raid
zasdo upon tho ;s!! =, :His city, and ell
those prisoners now under arrest for Ku
Kiuxing we're taken from the Jail and
Enardersa By disguised &en?"
Now. although the Union subsequently
takes care to allude to it's suggested
action as crime, yet we ask, was it mis-
chief or folly that induced the Union to
throw out this thoughtP It knows what
an ignorant class compose its readers
and followers, ard yet it does not hesi-
tate to scatter ambiguous words among
the ignorant.
If. now, the Union were either weak
or well disposed, we might excuse the
suggestion made. But as it is known to
be vicious, and claims to be very smart.
we can but attribute it's hypothesis to a
heart bent upon mischief. But the Union
has asked question. We shall answer
1t for those in favor of law and order in
this community. Our answer is: We do
not know or care what the people of this
State would say about justice, but we
know what they would do in tile case
made by the Union. IF there should
be- a raid made upon the jail in this city,
and all those prisoners now under arrest
for Ku Klnxing were taken from the jail
and murdered by disguised men''-which
is the Unions hypothesis-then there
are men enough in this city to see to it
that the raiders are dealt with, and that
the author of this suggestion shall be
the frst to suffer. Let the editor of the
Union now understand that he is held by
the United States soldiers on guard and
by the public a hostage for the safety Of
the men whom we must account inno-
cent until adjudged guilty. What, now,
shall be- thought of newspaper that
would throw out the idea that the Union
has done? If it did not know better, 1t
stands convicted of folly. If it knew
better. it is guilty of crime.

The GREAT SOUTHERN Piano MANU-
FACTORY. refer with special plea
sure to the advertisement of the great
Southern piano manufactory of Messrs.
VIM. Knabe & Co., of Baltimore This
factory is now one of the largest in the
world; it is a magnificent FIVE story
structure, fronting an entire block on
Eutaw street, and covering, together
with the lumber yards attached, some
two and one-half acres OF ground. $50
men are constantly employed, turning
out forty instruments per week. Among
the thousand and one pianos offered to
the public, we scarcely know any instru-
ment SO fully uniting alI the desirable
qualities sought for rs the knabe piano
1t is matter Of some difficulty and per-
plexity to inexperienced persons to select
u good instrument of any capacity. We
too often rely upon the Judgment of
friends i'll the selection of piano, md
are thus frequently disappointed. The
only sure way, in our opinion, is to go
to the best maker. For this reason, we
recommend to our readers to purchase
pianos of VIM. Knabe & Co. g manufac-
ture. This will relieve them the yexa-
tions necessity of wasting time in long
search. The reputation of the Kuabe
pianos is m infallihle guaranty of excel
ience. For durability, we would spe-
oially recommend them, as being made
in Southern city, with special view to
the trying changes of Southern climate.

here, 1 answer that the present is more aus
picious time for the prosecution of an investi.
gatic1 than when Treasurer Parker closed his
books to Mr.. scott's committee, or than any
time before the startling exposures by the
New York World were made. One shaft of
truth has already cut away one half of the un-
der-plnning of these corruptlonists-they see
themselves the ominous handwriting on the
wall, and they will not dare to prevent by
force or fraud the prosecution Of an authoriz'
ed, responsible and respectful investigation.
Let such an inquest be inaugurated, let our
"Committee of Seventy" attack this Ring with
the weapon Of truth, and I, for one, am per-
fectly willing to trust to General Chestnut and
his worthy colleagues for the coup &c grace.

WALL STREET MYSTIFIED.
Fruttless Efforts to Fathom tho Secrets
OF the South Carolina Ring.

From the New York World, November l4.l
For official figures regarding the actual con
dition of the finances of South Carolina the
already abused bondholders, likewise other
creditors, Of that State must walt yet some
two weeks, Notwithstanding that just one
week ago yesterday General Dennis, chairman
of the Joint committee on investigation OF the
Legislature, promised he would make public
statement, and waive the courtesy due the
Legislature of keeping private the result OF
their examination OF the State agents books
until 1t had been presented to that body. He
thought such q step was due to the public and
to the States, as he was sure iC would brush
away rumors dangerous to Its credit. But al.
though appeals have been made In Wall street
from day to day for something reliable, Wneth-
er of an assuring or disconraSing nature, no
reply has yet been vouchsated, excepting that
the same silence will be continued until about
the end of the month, at which time the
Legislature will meet. Meanwhile every means
has been adopted to get some such lniorma-
ton for publication as would tend to enlight-
en- the bewildered tondholders, but with only
printing of certain bonds by the American
Bank Note Company, 80 the reporter, falling
In more official sources, applied there for
detailed list of the bonds. He was cour-
teously received, but was met with the
very objections he had every reason TO
expect an honorable business corpora
tion would be likely to advance; that Is, that
''It would be breach Of confidence hardly fair
to expect OF them; but If permission from
some of the State authorities could be gained
they would be happy to give full details. The
superintendent volunteered to see some OF
the officers of the State government, and did
call on the State agent, who agreed that some
statement ought to be published. SO the re-
porter inferrlng this to be favorable, himself
called on the State agent. By this gentleman
he was also very courteously received, but
learned that no authority was vested In him TO
make any such request of the Bank-note Com
pany; while there Was not doubt the COM
pany would honor his request, 1t would be ex-
ceeding any power conferred upon him In
his capacity as State agent to make 1t, and
would place the company In false position II
they were to furnish the list on his request.
he further advised the reporter that such a
list without explanations would only tend to
mislead the public, whereas a full, statement
would be furnished by the authorities SO soon
as the Legislature met on the 28th OF Novem.
Der. Really 1t don't seem as though 80 much
difficulty should be involved In accounting for
the issue OF the amount the officials pretend
they have issued OF the State bonds; that is
IS, ,040, 900. This they claim Is the total which
they intended should appear In their card to
the public, and from which every one else
was able to figure out total issue OF over
$l3 900 000

be made before the collection of taxes, about

The demands for the removal of Mr. Kimp-
ton, the State financial agent In New YORK,
are becoming more positive and imperative,
and it is now deemed necessity to abolish
the office altogether. The several State OIL
cafs express themselves cheerfully, and de-
clare that all the financial difficulties will end
satisfactorily to the State interests and with
out pecuniary damage. 1t Is evident that the
present aspect of affairs has driven them TO
energetic measures.
