A Change In the Aspect of Affairs.
It had been noticed that not one OF the ad-
herents of the Ring were on the train on the
preceding night, and not one OF them was 10
be seen in Orangeburg. Brigadier General
Whipper had been seen on board, but had got
out at Summerville. This strange inaction on
the other side portended nothing good, and
the dispatches from The News confirmed the
suspicious of fou! play. 1t was now plain that
the returns would not be made in Orangeburg,
and an attempt was probable on the part OF
the relators to have the return OF the Pillsbury
Aldermen heard elsewhere, so that a writ OF
peremptory mandamus might issue in the ab-
sence of any opposition. 1t was now about
$780, NJ, and the train upon which Judge
Graham had been expected would arrive at 10
O'Clock. A consultation was Immediately held
in the car, at which the following
Dispatch to Judge Graham
was prepared:
ORANGEBURG, October 2S, 1871.
To the Hon. r. II. Graham, Columbia, S. c.:

The following resolutions were adopt
ed by the Columbia Board of Trade, at
a meeting held November =. with refer
ence to the effect upon the business in
terests of city and State. produced by
President Grants military proceedings
in South Caiolina:
Whereas this board, organized for the
purpose Of fostering the trade of this
oity. and of developing its business in
terests in general. cannot but consider
with concern the blow which these inter-
ests nave received III the Teoan. Federal
military Intervention set on foot in this
State; and whereas we feel satified that
said Intervention was the result of exag-
gerated representations made at Wash
ington OF a condition of things which
had existence mostly in the minds of de-
signing persons, and was not called for
by the facts of the case; and whereas, as
citizens anxious for the preservation of
peace and the supremacy Of order, We
firmly hold that the civil process in
South Carolina is and was fully adequate
to the enforcement of the laws, County,
State and Federal. Be it, therefore,
Resoiued by the Board Of Trade of Co.
lumbia, s. c., That this board, address
ing itself, with due respect, to the Chief
Magistrate of the United States, calls
his attention TO the serious damage ;n (.
Aicted upon the industry of Columbia
and The whole State by his military pro-
ceedings under the Enforcement Act of
Congress.
Resolpetl, That the loss and suffering
entailed upon the citizens of South Ca
rolina, in regard to their agricultural,
mechanical and mercantile interests, re-.
quire of President Grant that he should,
as an aot of public justice. promptly re-
move from our State the restrictions
which his military Intervention places
upon the business pursuits OF strug.
Cling community.
Resoiped, That, in the absence OF vim
dication and protection at the hands OF
the state government, we place our case
before the President OF the country OF
which We claim to be law-abidiog citi-
zens, maintaining that we have right to
expect that the power Of the Govern
ment will not be causelessly welded
against our interests.
Resolped. That these proceedings be
published in the New York World. Jour
nol Of Commerce. Washington Patriot
md the Columbia papers, aud that the
President Of this Board send u copy to
the President of the United States.

With genuine pride and satisfaction,
we invite the attention OF the, country
TO the resolutions sta5oirp..ss;a sta5oirp.sa3 November 8.
[by the Golumbia Board ,of Trade. There
lis DO Question OF moro politIcs here:
The solid business men OF the capital Of
South Oarolina. composing our Board Of
Trade. have very properly and very pa
trioticaJly raised their voice in this
emergency. Recognising the fact that
the once honorod mgis Of the State Go
vernment no longer covers the citizens
of South Oaruiinn, they turn from-the
miserable spsctaoleof q corrupt, weak.
and nerveleea State reginse. and 10y their
cause, and our common cause. before
President Grant They have done we'll.
Whether our Caesar shall heed the appeal
or not, let itgo forth President Grant
will, we trust, zee the points made by
the Board Of Trade. They attribute
his military intervention to the means
used by designing persons to induce him
hold that his military measures we're
unnecessary, because the civil process
was, and is. equal to the enforcement Of
the laws in South Carolina. True, o
King. They call attention to the loss
and suffering which he has entailed upon
struggling communities. Will the Pre-
sident hearken to these sober and truth
full words? If he has not lost the mag
nanimous spirit which he illustrated on
several occasions during the war, he wifi.
Ii outrages have been enacted in South
Carolina, let the President remember
that before the Ku Klux were the Loyal
Leaguers; that if whites have violated
the law, 80 have the blacks; that cor
rupt and swindling State and County
regime led the way to acts OF outlawry.
Said Burke, the great English states
man, in behalf of the infant colonies,
upon which the mother country proposed
to lay the hand of power:
''My vigor reients. I pardon some
thlng TO the spirit Of liberty"
Let us also invite President Grant to
bear in mind an incident given in the
history of Rome. The question came
up in the Roman Senate as to what
should be done with the conquered peo-
pie of Latium. Some said, 'let us dis
franchise them" Others said, 'let us
place them under the rule OF their for
mer slaves" But Cnmillus, q noble
Senator of Rome-when Rome survived
said, "Let us make them our feilo,o. citi-
sens. and thus add to The po,oer and dignity
of Rome" Will President Grant allow
rs to commend to him the examples of
BURKE and CAMILnUs?

General Blair in recent speech said,
with reference to the testimony in Ala
bama before the Ku Klux Committee:
II have listened to all this testimony
which has been given, and I find, as the
net result, that $3.50, 900. 900 in bonds
have been extorted from the impover-
ished and down-trodden South, by the
oarpet.baggers, who we're put in power
in the Southern States..'' Is not that

Our readers will observe that the State

hope there will be q full gathering, as
business of vitsi Importance will come
up. The joint stock enterprise mnst be
carried out. This ID D. matter OF great
Importance, especially to the citisens of
this city. We suggest that; Goiumbia
must move promptly and strongly in this
matter. As our readers 7are aware, the
City Council OF Oolumbia have started
suit to take from the State Agricultural
and Mechanical Society control Of their
gronnds-if they can. II this move
should be successful, it might result in
the loss to Columbia Of being the seat of
the annual fairs. Will our citizens not
look into this business? Looking at the
subject in purely business point of
view, what is known as partyism in
South Carolina cannot without disaster
lay its hand upon the State Fair. For
it to do 80, is to make the State Fair
wither and die. At least, do we say: let
Columbia look to her interests in this
matter. The Fair is a valuable thing
for Columbia. As the central city and
the capital, here is properly the seat of
the State Fair.

Letters of Recommendation.

A gentleman advertised for q boy to
assist him in his office, and nearly fifty
applicants presented themselves to him.
Out of the whole number he, in short
time, selected one and dismissed the
rest.
az should like to know" said friend,
on what ground you selected that boy,
who had not single recommendation. ="
You are mistaken" said the gentle
man, :" he had great many. He wiped
his feet when he came in, and closed the
door after him, showing that he was
careful. He gave up his seat instantly
to that lame old man, showing that he
was kind and Thoughtful. He took off
his cap when he came in, and answered
my questions promptly and respectfully,
showing he was polite and gentlemanly.
He picked up the book which i had pur-
posely laid upon the floor, and replaced
It on the table; while all the rest stepped
over it or showed it aside. and he waited
quietly for his turn instead of pushing
and crowding, showing that he was hon
est and orderly When ] talked with
him noticed that his clothes we're care
fully brushed, his hair in nice order, and
his teeth as white as milk; and when he
wrote his name / noticed that his finger
nails were clean, instead of being tipped
with jet, like that handsome little fel-
lows in the blue jacket. Don't you call
those things letters of recommendation
| do, and | would give more for what |
can tell about boy, using my eyes ten
minutes, than all the fine letters he can
bring me"
