Columbia is deeply exercised over the
coming municipal election. 1t takes
place on Tuesday next. The present
Radical Mayor, Alexander by name, has
been renominated. The Democrats OF
Conservatives have nominated Mr.. f.

lican, but one who has lived among them
for a long while and whose record is good.
The probability is that the Radicals will
carry the day.

General Agent of the great Southern mail

HOW About a Town Council.

How about Town Council for-the en-
suing year? The time draws near for
the annual election-the second Monday
in April. See notice of the present
Council. And by-the-by of the present
Council, what upon earth have they to
say why sentence of death should not be
pronounced against them? They put us
in mind of the old negro's toast in Ala
bama, to some gentleman Just going out
of office: "You COME into offs wild
mighty little opposition, and you gwine
out widout enny!'
But back to the main question. Let
us be up and arranging a ticket. Ithas
been suggested that we try quite young
men this time. The idea is perhaps
good one. We have number of young
men in our town who are decidedly en-
ergetic and enterprising in their own
business. And they doubtless would
manage the public veal equally we'll.
We have now but short time to act in.

will be petitioned, in her behalf. for par.

evening Judge Melton departed for his

labored most faithfully, and evinced an
earnest desire to clear our Dockets-
criminal as we'll rs cfvil-and that a
greater amount of business was not dis

his impartial rulings, evident acquire

courteous department towards the men,

The Great Event CT the Year 1872
in Augusta!
The great event of the year 1872, in
Augusta, was the opening on Tuesday
last, of the new Marble Palace of Jas. A.
Gray & Co.
To this great opening, very many of
our people, we suppose, received an in
citation. The Augusta papers of this
morning, Wednesday 9th, describe the
occasion and the scene to have been law
ishly rich in grandeur, libcrality, inter-
est and prestige. a prominent fcatureof
the event was splendid collation. on the
second floor, with champagne flowing in
countless streams of mercy. Truly, "the
liberal heart doviseth liberal things"
Next week we shall give our readers
more tangible picture of this stupcndous
Opening Of Jas. A. Gray & Co.
In the meantime, remember that the
first and greatest feat now to be achieved
in Augusta, is to see, and know, and feel
the new Marble Palace of Jas. A. Gray
& Co. Gentlemen, the Adrertiser drinks
to you in aglass of champagne painted
by Il kind and grateful fancy, foaming
up to the heavens, and running down,
typic0ily, far TO the North, to the South,
to the East, to the West-and covering

THE opposition papers, which delight in
representing Mr.. Greeley as mighty wood
chopper, whacking away at the Chappaqua
forests without any reference to the value
oftheir prim1val lumber, and making mince-
meat rather than cord-wood of the trees
in his summer choppings, indulge in much
ridicule at General Grants skill in manag-
ing horses, as if experience in that line was
evidence Of small craftsmanship, while
chopping hemlocks in June constitutes

Alexander the Great was not the only Gen.
eral who displayed the two great qualiiica-
tons OF craftsmanship and consummate
skill in handling horses. These two quail
fcations have generally gone together in
history. Washington sat upon horse as
if he was born in saddle, and admired a
fine stud as well as the next man in Ameri-
ca. A dolt may make a good wood-chop-
per, but we never heard of one that had
any fancy for horse, or any skill in his
management. Washington chopped wood
when a boy, but when he became man,
he drew the reins of steeds and of empire
together. ..... .s......

IT seems To be deflnitelv settled that hut

1T seems to be definitely settled that but
a very meager portion of the German ele-
ment has been or is likely to be drawn off
to the support Of the Liberal Republican
movement. The great bulk of this intelli-
gent and enterprising class Of our citizens
will unquestionably vote for the nominees
of the Philadelphia Convention. Accord
ing to the last census the total German
population in the United States is ,G96,
4l0, the number of voters being estimated
at 1874, 96S. OF these Pennsylvania has
80 ,029; Ohio, 36,57s; Indiana, 1871,
and Illinois, 40,75O. In all these States
their votes will strongly affect results, and
in more than one of them will perhaps turn
the scale. There are also some other classes
of foreign population who will probably ex-
ercise an important Republican influence
in several of the States. The Swedish vote
is estimated at ,740; the Norwegian vote
at Is, 6S5 the Swiss vote at Il, 1927 and
the French vote at 20,S30. Most Of the
Scandinavians have settled in the States o.
Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota anc
Kansas and in the two former, which arc
classed among the doubtful States, will il
all likelihood materially contribute to thu
election Of the Republican candidates.

THE TARIFF REDUCTION.

1t is estimated that the entire reduction
made in the tax and tariff bills, recently
passed by Congress, will amount TO fifty
three million dollars, which added to the
reduction heretofore made, will swell the
amount to about one hundred and forty
millions, within the last two years.
Whether this has been a bene fetal reduc-
ton in all respects, remains to be seen. In
many instances the reduction of duties has
had the effect directly to enhance the cost
of the articles which have been relieved of u
high duty. And this should have been the
effect anticipated, where the reduction in
duty might tend to repress produc-
ton, as it uniformly will in cases where
the demand has previously been about
equal to the supply. To make such re-
duction as will deprive the disemployed
labor of a country Of the proper stimulous
of industry, you do nothing to increase pro-
duction, but only add oprice by increasing
the number of consumers. We believe in
reducing the duties as far as practicable on
all articles not coming in competition with
our own industries; but there is such a
thing as proper limit even in regard to
these.
Among tie reductions made are seven
and one half millions stamp taxes--ten per
cent. on cotton, wool, iron, steel, ard all
products thereof, on paper, india rubber,
glass, glassware, etc. Coal is rs cents in
stead of al.25. We predict an aaraace of
