ferrous iron and visible particles OF gold.
There was a rush some ,ears'ago 10 these new

of extrLvagant expectations. The gold was
there and provokingly visible. But the
tide was great and the period OF low water

HOPE FOR SOUTH CAROLINA.
From the New York Sun.l

South Carolina affords an Interesting eX-
ample of the results OF Grantlsm; pnre and
unadnlterated. In no part of the South have
the friends OF the President exercised more
unrestricted swar; tn no Southern State have
the local authorities received more undevi-
ingtOn; und nowhere 10 the country does
more dsgraceful state of affairs prevail.
The bonds of the State to the amount Of mil
lions of dollars have been uttered without
warrant of law, and for their use no account
has been given. carpet-bag and negro
legislature has passed an act pgalizlng the
illegal Issues OF bonds. The most reckless ex
penditures have been made, The last session OF
the Legislature costing the Slate over mil
lion dollars for pay certificates alone; while
previous 10 Reconstruction ahrco or four h''n
dred thousand dollars year was sufficient to
provide for all the public wants, including the
support of the public institutions.
7 TIE most exorbitant taxes have been levied
and collected. Every man, woman or child
who has an occupation which yields living
must pay license for the right TO work. With
three millions of dollars taxation, the treasury
is empty to-day, and the State cannot procure
credit for o h1gshead of bacon In Columbia 10
supply its asylums. There Is no money to sup.
port schools, to pay the interest on the legIti.
mate debt, to provide for The lnnatics. the
deaf and dumb, and others dependent on pup
and let the criminals loose upon the communl-
ty, because there are no funds to pay for their
support. Even the salaries Of the judges have
not been paid; but the carpet.bag officials
who have ruined the State are rolling In
wealth. ~.

States troops at time when profound qniet
prevailed; has made wholesale arrests by the

courts were in full operation, and where less
lawlessness existed than In The City OF Boston.
Is 1t anv wonder that under these circum.

It is significant fact, which exhibits 10 the
most striking light the conclliatory and har-

nomination for President of the most dlstin-
guIshed of Aboliti0nists received more eager

THE MIN FOR THE TIMES.
Characteristics OF Horace Greeley.

The regular New York correspondent Of the
Boston Herald, .(Dem.,) writing upon the
political outlook, discusses at length the pros
poets of the Liberal ticket, and closes his let
ter as follows:
[ All things considered, there seems but one
way OF putting q new occupant into the Exc
culivs Mansion, and that occupant, unless all
signs fail, will be Horace Greeley. Many OBJ

Democrats; but as politics and policy are the
same thing, and as each aims at success, poll

that the opposition should combine upon Gree
ley. Tho ignt should be fair and open one
between him and Grant; for they represent
Ihe real Issues of the campaign, and all
outside interests should be held as subsldla-
ry. No one at all acquainted with Greeley,
and the whole American nation have known
him intimately for the last five and twenty
years, would ever Imagine him to be capa-

OF Opinion in EN- gland.
New YORK, May %.

NEW YORK, May 22.
The Herald contains the following special
dispatch from London, dated yesterday tine
English papers continue 10 discuss the Treaty
of Washington, and the supplementary article
thereto, with undiminished interest. The edi-
torials generally are inspired by desire to
prevent the failure OF the arbitration and save
the treaty. An article in contrary sense.
however, is printed by the Pail Mall Ga
zette Tonight, which is remarkable for It's
truthful and just appreciation OF The danger In
volved in the endeav0r to save the treaty Of
the expense OF national susceptibility" The
following Is an extract: "The whole drift OF
feeling and opinion In England justiaes us 10
saying thatthe worst thing to do with the
treaty is to save 1t. Saving the treaty
means offence and humiliation TO Amer
lea or 10 England or to both nations. It
means the renewal and not the abatement Of
the Ill feeling 1t vas Intended to allay. How to
save the treaty means VINO shall eat the leek
or whether some means cannot be invented
whereby both parties shall agree to eat 1t in
each olh.r's presence. The American papers
appear to exclaim against the adoption Of the
supplementary article, and here there Is only
one opinion and that ls, that its acceptance
would be dlscredilable and dangerous. Both
peoples would be pacl6ed and content at once
If The treaty and the negotiations connected
Herewith were dropped as an lrremedabIe
blunder for which the two governments are
alone to blame. That ls the proper fate OF the
treaty, and the only safe and peaceful
wss of dsposing Of 1t. This article
states exacuy The situation In Eng.
lund, and is just expression of the best
opinion here. II Ia certain that these per-
sins-bankers. financial men, and others
who are determined to have the treaty at
whatever cost, without regard TO national
dignity or honor, are bringing about danger.
ons complication. and the same Ia true Of
those unwlse politicians who are willing to
make party capital out Of this International
difficulty. The further negotiation of the
Treaty will only con inue an Irritation that
may eventually put TWO prond nations In an
attitude from which war can be the only posi-
blr ISSUE. The treaty should be dropped I'M
medIately for the sake Of national amity, good
will and peace"
