convinced that his statements were
true, but declare that this condition of
things is inexcusable, because it ia
| owing to the position of the section
pipe at the side of the bank of the
river. If the pipes were thrown out
some distance into the river, as they
should be, there would be no difficulty
in obtaining, in case Of emergency, an
abundant supply Of water, more, at
least, than he could possibly force into
the distributing reservoir with the
pumps now in use.
As it is. the city is dependent for her
water supply on the springs alone, and
in the event of a large condagration
that source would become exhausted
in day.
The committee then asked him TO
name day to test the filter; he again
refused. and the committee designated
Monday, the 14th instant.
On Monday, the committee wnited
upon Col. Pearce, in accordance with
the notice served upon him, aud re-
newed the request to test the filter; he
peremptorily declined, referring the
committee to the testimony taken in
the suit Of the City Of Columbia ps
Columbia Water Power Company. The
committee again examined tho section
pipe aud found it in its original posi-
ton in the mud. Also examined the
filter, and measured it's capacity, &c.
The committee are of the opinion that
it is totally unfit for the purpose of re-
moving impurities or taking ont the
discoloration of the river water. Re.
spectfully submitted.

Col. D. Wyatt Aiken, of this State.
member of che Executive Commit tee
Of the National Grange. delivered a.
stirring address, in which the prinoi-
pies OF the order we're vindicated and
its advantages clearly demonstrated.
de SAID that f1ity-two per cent. of the
entire population Of this country are
directly interested In agriculture, and
therefore. when the farmers move, the
1najority moves. He showed the be-
nefits of the order of the grange edu-
eationally, socially, morally and politi.
cally. The farmer must be educated
as we'll as other people; and to become
q suocessful farmer in this age of pro-
gress reqnires more tact. more energy,
more industry, than is required in any
other condition of life. The speaker
successfully handled the other topics
laid out in the scheme of his address,
but we pass them over to notice briefly
what he said, in answer to the objec.
tion sometimes made, that the grange
is political organization. Politics
sapnot be discussed in it; but, he
asked, cannot you conceive OF an or.
ganization, not political. that should
have political significance? It has
this from the very fact that it is ele-
vatipg the yeomnhsy Of the country to
appreciate their political stains. It is
doing more than all the politics of
America ever could do to heal the po-
litionl preiudices which exist between
the various sections Of the Union. IF
o man is Patron, whether he be from
South Carolina, Pennsylvania or any
where else. whether Democrat, Repub.
lioan, white nnan or negro, he is fra
ternally received.

Untrue and Unfair.

The communication signed "Fair-
field" which appeared in onr columns
yesterday. requires word of explana.
tion. It was admitted to publication
npoa the broad principle Of the right
Of free discussion. But the views ex-
pressed in it do'hot commend them
selves to ouI Judgment" I'd the fret
place. they are autagonistic to policy
agreed npon and settled in the Tax
Union Convention, from which there
has been no appreciable dissent in the
State. It was wise, judicious and
politic. II has the sanction of its
foremost leading men. including Gen.
Kershaw himself Gen. Kershaw's
friends do not propose to run him for
Governor, unless the Republicans, who
say they mean reform and good CO.
Vernment, fail in the duty of present
ing capable man from their side, who
embodies these ideas. If others press

stances, they do it from motives which
sannot be justified aud are liable to be
suspected. The article of Clarified"
is Questionable in other respects; but
we can only consider one more point.
In speaking of handful of Republi-
canss led by Gov. Moses, who propose
selecting Judge Greene as their stand
ard beassr," it disoloses purpose to
stifle good cause by linking it with q
bad name. Is this, the way to treat
movement which comes With fair claims
before the oountry?.- Who told .'Fair-
aeld"bhat twas led,by Gov. Mosesp It
does not so appear by any thing
known to the public or known to those
who really do lead it. Gov. Moses
made q speech in the Convention full
OF Expressions of contrition for the
past. He voted for the nomination of
Judge Greene. This conduct placed
him in a better position, he occu-
pied before. There were others there
who needed repentance as much as he,
and. yet they did not repent. There
we're others who did not, as Gov. Mo-
Sss did, vote for candidate whose
standing was in no way doubtful.
Gov. Moses came out of that Oonven-
tion better, in the public mind, than
he was when he went in it. But
whether he is better or worse, "Fair.
Geld" has no right to say the Inde-
pendent Republicans are led by him.
The design is as glaring as the state
ment is untrue. It is not the fact,
and nothing has happened which could
justify suoh q statement It is an in.
veation out and out. At the same
time, il, .Govs Moses should continue
to support Judge Greene. he will show
his good sse4ss, and instead Of being

by consumptive patients, II must do great
injury for its tendency is TO confine the

course, must make q cure impossible
Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup is warranted
not to contain particle of opium: 1t is
composed of powerful but harmless herbs,
which act on the lungs, liver, stomach,
and blood, and thus correct all morbid
secretions, and expel all the diseased mat
ter from tho body. These are the only
means by which consumption can be
cured, and as Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup,

the only medicines which operate in this
