TRU III AND HONESTY.

MIR EDITOR: In your issue Of Friday
m orning, you publish communica-
ton from conservative" naming two
or three votes given by Mr.. Nash, in
the Senate, rs reasons for not support
ing the Nash County ticket. Pray lie!
me add another.
When the bill relating to the fnan.
cial agent Of the State of South Caro-.
lima, in the city of New York, was be-
fore the Senate, March IL. 1872, Whit
temore moved an amendment, to the
effect that the financial agency be dis
continued, and the Carolina National
Bank be authorized to settle aciM lie
Financial Agent. Thia amendment
was adopted, Nash voting in it's favor
1t is impossible to say who Sa,o Mr.
Nash that night. or the next morning;
but, the next day. the notorious Leslie
moved an amendment, striking out the
whole of Whittemore's amendment,
and authorizing the Financial Board
to settle with the financial agent, and
leaving the financial agency to con-
tinue in existence. or course, this
was just what "the ring" wanted, as
the Financial Board would be glad { ;
overlook all the unlawful things they
and tho financial agent did, aud could
''fix things" TO suit themselves. 1t is
mortifying to confess it, but Nash,
who voted Tor Whittemore's amend
ment the night before. now voted 10
strike out and insert Leslie's amend.

nancial Board settled tho account of
the financial agent in their own way,
covered up everything from tho Gene

Mr. EDITOR: A writer in the Puu
NIX, OF the 30:h, gives many good
rea sons why he cAnnot vote for Nash.
The record is sufficient to prevent any
honest man or lover OF his country
from supporting him. We're to vote
for him, I would regard myself as
participating in tie many baneful
measures he has supported. aud en-
dorsing all further acts OF wrong
which he might in future commit.
Therefore, cannot consistently sup.
port Nash. because I believe he has
supported many. if not all, OF the bad
Legislation which has disgraced South
Carolina, and OF which the convention
OF her taxpayers go truthfully CON-
planned. We're 1 to support Nash,
how could I look in the faco of nv
Northern friends, and with truth com
plain of the State Government?
when 1 by my vote helped to elect
aud place in Office the very individual
who has brought the good name Of
South Carolina into disrepute, md
who is disgracing the name of Re-
publican Government. The good
book tells me 'thnt muSt hot ito erR
that good may come" therefore, I cannot
support the jesuitical requirement Of
the lf-constituted Executive Com
mittee OF lsichland County. I cannot
vote for Nash. because my whole nature
revolts against it. my manhood repcls
it. the birth right of my children cries
ont against it, the truthful preccpts
learned ut my mothers knee forbid it,
L shall not touch the unclean thing,
and, therefore, cannot myself, nor
will l, by my example, encourage
others to vote for Nash
TIiU III AND HONESTY.
The daily phoenix. [volume] (Columbia, S.C.) 1865-1878, 1874-11-01

To Me Editor IF The Ph@nir Sir: "a
Conservative" gives some reasons in
your Friday y paper for not voting for
tho Nash County ticket. l don't
know much about State bonds, but I
do know something about City of Co
lumbis bouds, and that il the reason
why l will not give Nash my vote. I
have looked over the journal Of the
Senate, aud tind that when the "BiIl
authorizing the Mayor aud Aldermen
Of the City of Columbia to issue bonds
aud to negotiate and sell the same"
was before the Senate, Nash voted for
it. thus putting new bonded debt on
the impoverished city OF Columbia
Other Conservatives may vote as they
please, I wW not rote for Mash. In my
next communication, shall show other
wrongs perpetrated on the citizens Of
Colum by the vote and influence of
Nash, which should prevent every
lover of is home aud citizenship tc
abstain from voting for Nash, or any
ticket on which his name appears.
ANOTHER CONSERVATIVE.

Quiet bat Detormined.

We have resisted, with oil our
might, the imputation that our white
people are apathetio or hopeless about
their public affairs. The interest
which is 60 wide awake elsewhere in
matters Of public concern, is not asleep
here. It is a grievous mistake and
wrong 10 say that a majority Of our
people have become convinced that it
is waste OF time and energy to resist
the tide OF corruption. Depressing in-
fuences have been at work, undoubt.
edly, and some have become ready to
succumb to the hard fate which would
subject them to alien rule. and hand
over the country TO its spoilers. But
the bulk of the people are made Of
sterner stuff than that. They have re-
solved to contest every inch of ground,
fighting with the sentiment of home
and country burning in their hearte.
They would be recrennt not to do so.
Now, when the whole country is uwak-
ening to she atrocities committed
against tho Southern people. when
great States arc recovering their po wer
and lnean to exert it in our behalf
against the centralizing and despotic
tendencies Of the pnrty which has
ruled aud disgraced the General Go
vernment. We must not ourselves de-
sert our guns. We must not set mp til 9
sorry plea that it is useless to resist
wrong. backed by numbers, power and
boundless corruption. It is not useless.
To admit it, is to be little better
minded than slaves. But our people
do not admit it. They are, constitu-
tionally, averse to noise and buster.
They are quiet, as they should be, bns
not tame or spiritless, not uninform ed
on the great issues which hang on
their action. The elements which go
to make the storm are quietly gathered
together. 1t is still water which is said
to run deep. Wisdom is silent aud
thoughtful. Courage is calm and col
lected. Such we conceive to be the
attitude Of our people. When they do
speak and act for honesty and good go.
vernment, it will be to the dismay of
those who have trampled upon their
rights and plot against theic dear
bought liberties.

MALARIA EvERYwHERE.-Rare has
there been q season as fruitful AZ this
OF malarious diseases. Not only on
the prairies and in the valleys of the
West; not merely in all the old haunts
Of fever and ague and bilious remit
tent fever have these prostrating dis
eases been unusually virulent; but
they have extended to towns and cities
have even assembled the mountains and
attacked thousands Of people supposed
20 have been placed by tho laws of na-
ture above thsir reach. Hence We are
compelled to admit that fatal ele-
ment pervales the universal air this
season. and should OF once resort to
the only approved preventive Of its
consequences, Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, tonic so potent, IN antiscptc
80 perfect, an Alternative 80 irresistible,
and stimulant 80 pnre, that it enables
the human system to resist and butll y
all the predisposing causes Of disease.
With tho confidence that one clothed
in incombustible garments might move
among blazing buildings, the man
who arms himself against mularia with
this powerful defensive medicine may
walk fever. scourged district fearless
OF its insalubrions atmosphere. The
intermittents and rcmittents, at pre-
sent so general in all parts Of the
country, may be but the fore.runners
of deadlier scourge. Prepare the
system with Hostetter's Bitters for a
successful battle with the mephitic
causes of NIL epidenlics. Be wise in
time. All the disorders common to
the season may be held in allegiance by
this potent antidote. They may also
be elected from the system, after they
have made O lodgment there, by its
persevering use. It is, therefore, mo-
raj insanity for any family to be with

BUSINESS NECESSITIES. these
days of progress, most enterprising
firms use every means of putting their
names before their customers. In no
way can this be more conveniently and
attractively done than by using Printed
Letter Headings and Bill Heads. They
have come into such general use by
Merchants, that one seems old
fashioned who does not use them, and
the custom should be generally adopted
by the Country Merchants.

CONSUMPTION CAN BE CURED
Schenck's Pulmonio Syrup, Schenck's
Sea Weed Tonic, and Schenck's Man
drake Pills, are the only medicines
that will cure Pulmonary Consump-
ton. frequently medicines that will
stop cough will occasion the death Of
the patient; they look up the liver,
atop the circulation of the blood, he
morrhage follows, and, in fact, they
clog the action Of the very organs that
oansed the cough.
Liver Complaint md Dyspepsia are
the causes of two.thirds OF the cases
OF Consumption. Many persons COM
plain Of dull pain in the side, consti-
patton, coated tongue. pain in the
shoulder. blade, feelings of drowsiness
and restlessness, the food lying heavily
on the stomach, accompanied with
acidity and belching up of wind.
These symptoms usually originate from
disordered condition of the stomach
or torpid liver.
Persons SO affected, if they take one
or two heavy colds, and if the cough
in these cases be suddenly checked,
will find the stomach and liver clogged,
remaining torpid and inactive, and al
most before they ere aware, the lungs
are mass of sores and liberated, the
result Of which is death.
Schenck's Pnlmonic Syrup is an ex.
pectorant, which does not contain
opium or anything calculated to check
u cough suddenly.
Schenok's Sea Weed Tonic dissolves
the food, mixes with the gastric juices
of the stomach, aids digestion and
creates ravenous appetite.
When the bowels are cosiive, skin
sallow or the symptoms otherwise OF
bilious tendency, Schenck's Mandrake
Pills are required.
These medicines are prepared only
by j. Fl. Sen eNCK & Son, N. L. corner

At the beginning OF his speech, last
evening, Gen. McGowan donied, nbso-
lutely and emphatically, q statement
contained in morning paper. that he
had spoken disrespectfully of the
army and army officers stationed in
this State, or that he had spoken Of
them at all in any political speech
having held commission himself from
the United States Government, and
respecting and honoring the officers
whom he had met On the most cordial
terms, having confded to them the
care OF his family and home, it was, Of
course, n preposterous and utterly no.
warranted statement. Fair political
discussion or criticism, any proper
can yassing Of his claims, however nn-
favorable the view any writer or
speaker might choose to take, he
would not object to; butan imputation
of this injurious character he felt called
upon to brand as false in every particu-
lar.

others. distinguished lawyers. with
whom the Attorney G Goneral has had
to contend, will. We are assured. bear
the same testimony.
In the tour through the up .coun-
try, Judge Melton charged that the
purpose of the opposition to Mr..
Cha amberlain was to inaugurate an al.
ministration which would disturb tho
settlement OF the public debt. as pro-
vided for by the last L Legislature, and
open it 80 that the conversion bonds
and the bond scrip could be scaled
with the other debt and at tue same
rate. Mr.. Dunn did not deny the
gra0ameH OF the charge; but made
certain unauthorized charges. and
then, "for obvious reasons" withdrew
them. The charges were substantiated
by conversations stated by the State
treasurer and Mr.. Solomon, and as
the latter named gentleman says,
money can be made out of it,"
Our conclusion is. that whilst we
propose to vote for Mr.. Chamberlain
with protest. We are not to be rnle.,
out OF the Conservative party bv so
doing; nor can we be charged with
being Republican or partisan, when
we exercise our right Of preference be.

\ TELESCOPE VIEW OF THE Moon
BY means of good telescope n very dis
tlnct view may be obtained of the moon.
With power of 900 we are, as it were,
brought within 239 miles of its surface;
and on very favorable occasions a power
even higher than this has been applied.
With the highest power, however, yet
employed, no trace of any inhabitants
has been discovered, though any large
town must have been seen, did such ex-
ist on the visible side. Even TO the
naked eye the moon presents tile APP
pearance of rugged and uneven sur
face, aud telescope observations confirm
the same.
We find that in many parts Of its sur
face very high mountains exist, and the
elevation of many of these has been
measured by observing the shadows cast
by them when the sun shines Obliquely.
At the time of full moon these shadows,
that have hitherto been so conspicuous,
disappear, as the sun then shines verti-
cally upon them. Very accurate maps
have now been drawn Of the moOn's sur
face on a large scale, and the principal
mountains have received names, usually
those of celebrated astronomers. One
peak, named Newton, is found TO have
an elevation Of nearly $1,000 feet, and
several Others are very lofty.

A PARMER's SONG.

We envy not the princeiy man.
In city or In town
Who wonders whether pumpkin vines
Run up the hill or down.
We care not for his marble halls,
Nor vet his heaps of gold5
We would not own ms sordid heart
For all his wealth thrice told.
We are the favored ones OF earth;
We breathe pure air each morn;
We sOw-we reap the golden grain
We gather IN the corn;
We tOil-we live on what we earn,
And more than this we do
We hear OF starving millions round,
And gladly feed them too.
The lawyer lives on princely ees-
Yet drags a weary life;
He never knows a peaceful hour
His atmosphere is strife.
The merchant thumbs his yardstick DER,
Grows ragged at his toll
He's not the man God made him for:
Why don't you Till the soil
The doctor plods through storm and cold
Piods al his patients will;
When dead and gone he plods again
To get his lengthy bill.
The printer (bless his noble soul ,
He grasps the mighty earth,
And stamps IL In our daily sheet,
To cheer the farmers hearth.
We sing the honor OF the pfO1,
And honor to the press
Two noble Instruments OF toll,
With each a power TO bless
The bone, nerve Of this fast age
True wealth OF human kind
One tills the ever generous earth,
The other tills the mind.
