CAN REFORMS BIZ EFFECTED "LNSLDE or
THE PARTYP

The State of South Carolina has been
plundered by her present misrulers worse than
any civilized community ever before was by
rulers of its own choice. And those rulers
have lust nominated, through bribery, one OF
themselves to succeed the infamous Gov
Scott. If the people have anything left that
can be stolen, the cabal which regularly
counts in its nominees in that State VIII now
steal it. They are the very men to strip It's
rags from Beggary and snatch Its crust Iroin
the open laws of Famine. And they all snout
in chorus, "Don't break up the Republican
"party! Hurrah for Grants second term !"
In Arkansas the same game is played by
like men. These profess to be zealously Re
publican, yet they counted out Thomas Boles,
the Republican chosen by 5000 majority from
the Little Rock District to the present House
of Representatives, and put John Edwards
DemocraO into his seat. When the Commit
tee on Elections came to investigate the case
they found no shadow Of ground for this up
set, and they unanimously reported that Mr.
BoIes was the true member and the House
unanimously gave him the seat. Very rarely
has a member been unseated by unanimous
vote.
The Grand Jury of Pulaski County indicted
Clayton and his cabal for the frauds whereby
they gave themselves majority in the pres
ent Legislature and sent Clayton TO the U. 5.
Senate. Gen. Grant thereupon removed the
U. S. Distrlct-AttOrney and Marshal for that
district, and put tools of Clayton into their
places, so that the indictments were quashed
and villainy sailed on in triumph.
On the 22d inst. the Clayton-Grant party of
Arkansas held their State Convention, and
nominated their State ticket and Electors.
When they made their present State Consti-
tuition, large portion of the prominent citi-
zens Of the State were disfranchised as Rebels.
They provided that these should not vote.
Congress has since removed the ban; but
Clayton g. Co. hold those thousands still dis
franchised by virtue Of their State Constitu-
ton, so that they cannot vote for President
this year. The resolves of the Clayton Grant
Convention are decided on this head, declar-
ing that the Amnesty Bill :" does not enfran-
"chise any man who is disfranchised by the
"Constitution of Arkansas"
in the face Of this sweeping disfranchise-
ment, by which they hope to steal the votes
of Arkansas from the candidates of her choice,
the People are told from the stump and in the
Grant journals that nobody is disfranchsed,
and no further amnesty is required.

DO MEN OTHER FIGS or THISTLES,

DO MEN GATHER FIGS OF THISTLESP
The Grant party in South Carolina having
split in two, with an accompaniment of pistols,
curses, and much throwing of mud, has now
placed two candidates in the field for Cover
nor, each pledged to the support of the Ad-
minstration and the perpetuation of the mis-
rule which has cursed South Carolina more
heavily than almost any other portion of the
unfortunate reconstructed States. The most
vindctive Radical of the Morton and Chandler
stripe might watch with satisfaction the misery
that has fallen upon this once proud region
where Secession had its earliest stronghold and
civil war first lighted its flames. But patriots
have hoped that, whatever preference
South Carolina might express upon
the Presidential question, an effort
would be made by both parties in this cam
paign to clear out the villainous rings which
have reduced the State to bankruptcy, and
dssever one of the most scandalous and
oppressive Of the Administration alliances.
This hope has been disappointed. We have
nothing to expect from the Grant party but a
perpetuation of carpet-bag rule in its very
worst shape. There has not been even the
pretense of q wish for reform; there is no
chance Of it under the clique which now bears
sway.
When the regular Republican nominee, Mr..
Moses, was proposed in the Convention at
Columbia, Senator and ex-Land Commissioner
Leslie declared that "he could prove Moses
was the first man in the State to make
money out of the Land Commission We
quote what follows from Charleston paper !:
Mackey replied that Leslie accused Moses OF steal
ing the first money 10 excuse himself from stealing tho
last.

writer ID household weekly gives some excel
lent advice to women who want work and its wages.
In describing the vain and weary search of the trav-
eier for cleanly, simple, and palatable meals along
railroad lines, he suggests that good housekeepers
who need employment should keep neat eating
houses where such meals could be found. We wish
that somebody would accept this suggestion, and
make something of it. A pleasant, airy room, free
from fes where plain dinner of good materials,
nicely cooked could be got, would be very haven
of delight to the public, and golden nest-egg to its
proprietor Let there be attempt to serve diabol-
cal pastries and horrid messes with French names
no human being in his right senses ever eats such
things. Such dining-room anywhere-in Wall-st.
especially-would make more money in q month
than poor governess or mill-worker sees in year.
To women who know how TO cook and who are SEN
sible enough to do it, If they want TO- we commend
this idea. ,l "a

There have been few speeches of the cam
paign more direct and logical than that of
Gen. Ewing at St. Clairsville, Ohio, of which
we print some of the salient points this morn
ing. He sets in the clearest and strongest
light the tendency of the present Liberal
Campaign to bring about a genuine reunion,
to break up the military occupation of the
South and give all its people, white and black,
fair share in the Government.

most astonishing case of cruelty to animals was
lately investigated at Nottingham. England by the
Society for the Prevention, &c. Miss Mary Eliza

forty-three of the latter Last Spring she left her
home and quadrupedsi chargeoi couple of servant

the tradesmen refused credit took their leave, and
the unfortunate pets were strut up without food, in
consequence of which some of them were forced 60

Mississippi has been usually given up to the
Grant people, with South Carolina and Massa-

mysterious disappearances" are becoming so
common in England that they are great trouble to
the somewhat incredulous police Lately Mr..
Weippart, who was travelling in the interest of a
musical firm in London, was lost, and Mrs. Weippart
could get no trace of him. 1t turned out pretty soon
that he was living of hotel in Birmingham, in COM
pany with naughty woman, and pretending to be
Mr. Sydney Smith, the eminent composer. He
played the piano beautifully; he announced his in
tention of soon giving concert; he run in debt
with tradesmen; he agreed to give piano lessons,
and collected his fees in advance; he run up a
tavern bill of eos; and he made will devising the
income of his copyright songs to Mrs. Sydney Smith,
Unfortunately, while he was at the very top Of his
enjoyment, somebody who knew the real Smith saw
him, and proclaimed him an impostOr. He was car
ried to prison, when it discovered that he
was the Herr Weippart for whom wife noumed in
London and about whose fate the public had been

an open letter (printed to DR.. Grant, and the au-
thor, or somebody else has sent copy of the pro-
duction TO this office. Mr.. Barrows style is of a
mixed and mudded character, and for most of the
laws laid down by the venerable Murray he seems to
have a top-lOfty contempt. What will the school
master say to thisi
In the case OF Harrison Taylor and Lincoln he, God,
watched u.s. and believe he will do again. Gen.

his acquaintance in New Orleans, am sorry to see him
take the course he has 10 join in and the old lne
Democrats to destroy still more. not only the Southern
States he CALAMITY justly, fought against to protect
aud defend this glorious union of States which hope
will ultimately with you, President, be able TO pre-
serve and defend that which brave and patriotic
Washn gton and his brave officers and soldiers
gave TO u.s. independence, freedom Of speech press
the Federal and Democratic Constitution and union of
States"
"You Mr.. President, possess the appointing
power" adds the perspicacious Barrow, land the
removing power and all other power to enable you to
uphold the government and rescue our country from
the grasp of the Bohemian horde Of Greeley's con-
sprators" This will be startling intelligence to the
Bohemians Barrow is after them.
New-York tribune., 1872-08-27

The Reelection party is forever gleefully
claiming that all the money of the country is
on the side of Grant. This is not true, but the
boast throws great deal Of light upon the
purposes and intention with which they have
gone into this canvass. They expect to buy
their way through; to spend large sums out
right, to excite the cupidity Of the venal by
exaggerated accounts of money in the hands
of their Committees, and to rouse the fears OF
timid capitalists by stories of Mr.. Greeley's
"unsafeness." 1t is true that they have more
money to use than the Liberals. We give
them the benefit of this admission at once.
But we shall have enough for all the legitimate
expenses of the canvass, and do not propose
to use money in any way which is not legiti-
mate. 1t is not true that all the rich men are
on the side of Grant, though it is true that
the majority of men who work for their living
are on the side of Greeley.
New-York tribune., 1872-08-27

The breezy way in which the present Ad-
ministration deals with questions of law and
disbursement is well exemplifed by the dis
patch we print to-day from Washington show
ing how Secretary Boutwell, has handled the
Kentucky War Claims, refusing to pay them
when Congress commanded it, and paying
them in full as soon as Congress reduced
them. This will form companion picture to
the sketch which Gov. Blair drew of Mr.
Creswen (which Mr.. Creswell thought was
not good likeness) representing Congress as
standing over him with club to keep him
from paying the ChOrpenning swindle.

1t seems probable that the deficiency in the
supply of grain, which the floods in Bohemia
and Hungary were calculated to produce this
year, will be almost entirely covered by the
abundant crop in France. For several years
past France has failed to produce sufficient
grain for her own consumption, and has been
obliged to draw upon the region around the
Black Sea. 1t is now announced that she Will
be able to export 9SOOO,OOO bushels to England
and Italy after retaining enough for her own
use. In this way, if ample railroad communi-
cations have been established the crop in
Southern Russia will go far toward supplying
the demand in Central Europe.

notice Prof. McWhorter's ingenious and
courageous article at any length, but it
takes up the g Cardiff Giant, (Which has
been so flippantly pronounced "humbug,"

most extraordinary relics that has been dis
covered in modern times. The fact that
the figure has genuine Phenician inscrip-
ton on the right arm, which, translated,
reads "Lord Tammuz Of the Heavens

origin. Some two months ago, we replied
to a characteristic attack from the New

whole controversy beyond further carp
ing, and will be found of intense interest to

The COTTON CROP. = From the first
of series of carefully-collected crop
reports, it appears that the area of land
placed under cotton cultivation averages
ten per cent. increase on last year. In
some States the increase is larger, while
in other States it is lower, making the aver
age as above stated. All our Southern
exchanges concur with private information
relative to the generally favorable condi-
ton of the cotton crop and tho weather.
So far there is a very significant absence Of
complaints on the most tempting subjects
of grumbling in the world. Of course
there are still a great many contingencies
between this and the picking season, which
may neutralize the promise of the present.
The growing crop may be summarized a:
kdoing well and promising well, but not as
yet out of danger. The subject is just now
Ia matter of great interest on both sides Of
the Atlantic. 4Llilh 5t'4l.lA
