COLUMBIA AS A WINTER REsoET.
climate Of Columbia is one OF the most
uniform and temperate in the world.
considerable interest is felt in projects
which have for their object the estab-
lishmcnt of suitable boarding houses and
hotels for tho entertainment of visitors
during the summer months from the
more rigid climate OF the North Many
who stopped in Columbia Inst winter
wero delighted with it. They found it
moro agreeable and equablc than any
other point at which they visited. 1t
has moro variety of life about it than
either Florida or Aiken, and is not infe-
rior to either in all the requirements of
q winter resort for large class of inva-
lids. We trust that our friends at the
capital will bcstir themselves. The line
of activity and business herein indicated,
and the fine but neglected water power
which flows Mt their feet, solicit their
early and earnest attention.

The Names.


Fred. Douglass in his speech, recently
noticed by us, alluded severely to the
Frccdman's Bank swindlc. He said that
the colored people had put millions into
the Frcednan's Bank, md he asked
<Where are they?" He added "The
men who went into the bank q few wears
ago poor men, are now domiciled in
beautiful houses and drive their fine
turn-outs." The New York Herald calls
for the names of these rascnls, "that they
may bc nailed up by the cars in fostering
infamy." Certainly their names ought
to be known. They would exhibit finely
in their ''turn-outs The South has
had SO many Of such swindlers fastened
upon them, that they would be no rarity;
but the North might make tho most Of
them. There is n peculiar scoundrelism
IN that Freedman's Bank business, which
gives it notability above other schemes
of Radicalism to rob the poor negro.
Radicalism called him the sWard of the
Nation, and became his "self-appointcd
guardian" as Langston had it. The
bank was ostensibly a scheme to take
care of the money belonging to the sim
plc-mindcd ''ward." But it was really q
scheme to cheat the ward, md it sue
ceeded finely; Hence, Douglass denun-
citation of the swindlers, who went in
poor md came out rich-dwelling in fine
palaces and driving about with gay
equipnges. If the Radical scoundrelism
IN swindling the negro while pretending
TO nourish and defend him, is not tho
most heartless deception ever practiccd
IN civilized land, We never heard of
that which excelled it in enormity.

Spain continues to rock in tho uneasy
'seas of. civil war and bankruptcy. The
apprehensions expressed in the London
Times in q leader, the substance of which
we printed several days ago, have been
for.some time anticipated. The acces-
+; sion Of the Prince Alfonso to the throne
'ESpain was in no respect IN advantage.
He did not come as the choice of the
people; he was the candidate of q military
coup detat-an armed insurrection in
which n sovereign Congress were driven
out of the halls of Legislation Mt the point
Of the bayonet. Personally he had no
qualities of the King but amiability, and
no claim to that respect which attends a
long, unsullied line. He was only boy,
fresh from his tops and ponies; his
birth was clouded; his earlier life had
been spent in the stained circles Of q
dishonored court. So when he came to
tho crown, he was only another new nd
venturer in the place where so many ad-
