CORRESPONDENTS OF TIE NEWS AND HERALD.
COLUMBIA, April %.
A visit to tho State Capital at this
time will amply repay any ono of
tho many thousand taxpayers who
have been burdened for SO many
yeacs with the weight of oppression
and misrule. The old city has put
on an appearance such as has not
been seen since the hidcous night
of Reconstruction began. One
realizes, on walking the streets, that
Carolina once more belongs to Caro-
inians, and that the bottom rail,
deprived of it's boyonet props, is
rapidly glavitating back to it's
proper place. Not that there arc
any signs of material Improvement !;
for trade in Columbia, as elsewhere,
is practically ut stundstill, and
money is scarccr than hens teeth,
while Il revival Of business is not
expected before autumn. But the
evidence of the now order of things
is seen in the countenanccs of the
people, i'll their buoyant spirits and
sanguine representations of future
prosperity, in the groups Of rcspcta-
bic citizens on the streets, at the
hotels and in the lobbics and on the
floor of the State House, and last,
but not least, in the presence of the
ladies within the railing of the
Legislative halls, from which they
had been excluded by the forco Of
circumstances since the overthrow of
the Orr administration. In former
days the Legislature was favorite
resort for the beauty and chivalry
of the State, and many q grave
Senator or Representative was wont
to slip away from his seat on the
floor to spend pleasant hour of
dalliancc in the gallery. The reviv.
al of this custom marks forcibly the
inauguration of the new era.
1t is also calculated to make ones
soul rejoice to see the quondam
Radical dignitaries fitting like evil
spirits i'll and around their old
haunts, with looks PLAINLY betraying
a consciousness that their day is
cnded and that the places that knew
them shall know them no more.
They arc the same in name, but
sadly changed since the days, when,
reveling in illgotten gains and re-
gardless of q hereafter, they dis
ported in luxurious equipages and
wore an air of ,superciliousncss and
insolent bravado. The mills of the
gods ground slowly, but at last they
have ground exceeding fine. The
avenging Nemesis has been at two1k,
and the triumph Of tho taxpayer is
crowned in the defeat and degrade
tion of the tax-thief.

THE STATE HOUSE

this morning. My last visit pres
viously had bcon at the time when
the Constitutional House and the
Mackey Mob had joint possession of
the hall, when I was enabled to pass
the lower door only by cajoling u
private in the United States army,
and to gain admission to the hall,
not as citizen of South Carolina,
but as q correspondent Of New
York paper. The scenes Of those
days are indelibly impressed upon
all who witnessed them. On one
side, the Constitutional House;
on the other tho recalcitrants, the
twin Speakers" in their respective
chairs, double staff of officials,
corps of newspaper reporters, and
few privileged visitors-these, with
q general sprinkling of dirk and
litter, and a background of bed
clothes, concoaling pistols and
Winchester rifles, formed the mise
en- sccne. A general look of weari-
ness and agonizing uncertainty as
to tho final issue pervaded the
countenances of the patriots who
were guarding, rs best thoy could,
the interests Ct the State. To-
day, how changed was tho appear
ance of things!
BRIGADE OF coNvICTs
had secured and scrubbed off the
last vestiges of Radicalism. Tho
building shone in all the beauty Of
cleanliness. The corridors were
paced by respectable citizens, no
stacks Of hayonets offended the
eye, and even the bronze statue of
Washington, near the entrance,
had put off tho nauseatod ap-
pearance fancied it then worse.
