A radical exchange seems to doubt the truth of an item in the Standard of last week in reference to the recent farce in South Carolina, called an election. Per haps the Following letter from a gentleman of prominence, residing at Columbia in that State, who is exceedingly well informed as to events there transpiring, may shed some light upon this farce abd vindicate the justness of our strictures upon the outrage perpetrated upon the honest citizens of the Palmetto State by their despicable foes— the carpet-baggers, negroes and scallawags. We repeat what we then said that we have no doubt that the ptnple of South Carolina, by a large majority, desired the ovefthlow of Got. Scott and his party, but were either prevented from eipressing their wishes or weto cht -ted out of the force and utility of that * fission, after it was made, by the rascality of the leading radicals The letter referred to is dated October 24, and we commend its perusal, not only to democrats, who severely condemn and denounce such outrages, but also to those Fepublicane who support the administration in sending troops north to make war upon sovereign States and intimidate and hinder the people in their free exercise of the right of suffrage, under the pretense of upholding the ‘purity’ of the ballot:” “The election in this State is over. The result is the actual subversion and destruc tion of the franchise in South Carolina. On the seaboard and islands, the negroes in savage crowds held the ballot-boxes and crammed them with all the radical tickets sent to them. Thi3 negro woolen were even more violent than the men * and, with arms in hand, these brUtal mobs attacked, beat and drove off every man, white or black, who showed or tried to vote the reform ticket. In the middle countries the negro militia did the eame service, and although negro boys of fifteen to twenty years of age were seen to vote, no white man ventured to challenge them. Not only minors, but Lions, well-known convicts for burglary, grand larceny. &c., voted and repeated often enough to count from five to ten votes each. The conservative tiegroes otily exhibited their Sentiments passively, by staying away from the polls. In the upper countiep, where thb White population is in the as cendancy, the people were overawed by Grant’s troops in addition to Scott’s negro militia. The law of violence and intimida tion controlled everywhere ; savage negro mobs on the seaboard, negro militia and United States troops in the up country. It is ridiculous to call this an election. Besides all this, the present infamous election law, passed by Scott’s Legislature, keeps the whole matter, as it was designed to do, in the hands of the robber cfew. Three commissioners are appointed by ScCtt to e«»j?h coanty, who have the entire contfol of thv eleUion. Those, in every instance, are Scott’s tools. Theyj In tUi*h, appoint their creatures managers at the different boxes, and when the polls close the boxes are all placed in the private custody of the three commissioners and kept by them for ten days, during which time they count the votes privately and declare the result. Nearly all these commissioners and mana gers were candidates on the Radical ticket in the late election. Hence very little in terest is felt as to what their returns will be. It is taken for granted they will report heavy Radical majorities every where, except where the fraud would be too transparent, where the white population is vastly in ex cess. This is the whole history in a feVT words.*’ —Maine Standard. A Mean War Tr ck. —It is no small privilege to hear Virgil Delphlni Taris talk. He was one of the most prominent politicians of Maine In its palmy days of Democratic rule. I had the pleasure of listening to him the other day, and will try to tell two of hia stories. I think the corn-* pany were talking about great facts of eat ing, when V. D. P. struck in. “Ah,” said he, plaintively, “how great injustice has been done by the historians of the late war I How unfair has been the distribution of honors and the awards of credit for its successful termination. It is recorded that hard fighting and good gen eralship brought about the consummation, and soldiers have been rewarded, in ac knowledgment of their military services. But what is the truth about this matter? The (act is, no credit belonged to Grant or Sherman for puttiug an end to the war. I happen to know how it was done, and that the honors should be paid to twd humble Oxford county boys, whose names are hard ly known outside of their own county. It was during the last weeks of the struggle, tfhen the Union array was encircling Rich mond. The Confederates were known to be desperately short of supplies—the men Bursting on one half a pint of dry corn per day. Intelligence of their position was brought to General Grant. He smoked a dozen cigarsj while ruminating on the probabilities it suggested. Finally he took a resolution. Calling upon the commander of one of the Maine regiments, he ordered two men—Sam Damon and Almon Wash, burn—to be detailed for special service. He dispatched them beyond his lines, ex pecting them to be taken prisoners. His expectations were realized, and bis strategy was sdcceseful. The Confederate army was burdened with the subsistence of two mSn whose places were never filled. Gen. Grant took a bunch of cigars and sat down, con fident of speedy results. He was not mis taken. In a very few days the two prisoners bad exhausted the rebel commissary de partment ; surrender was inevitable.” A rtw years ago one Dr. Elder Wrote a pamphlet to establish the fact that “a pub lic debt is a public blessing/’ and when Jay Cooke was selling the bonds of the United States, he printed and scattered the pamphlet broadcast over the land. It now happens that Mr. Boutwell wishes to keep up the high rate of taxation wbieb has re sulted from th*B “pnblic blessing,” to the end that be may have a surplus in the treasury to apply to its extinguishment; and he avers most solemnly that “whatever arguments may be adduced, or whatever theories may be advanced, tne fact must ever remain that a public debt is a public evil/’ How to punish a hungry man—Drive a steak into him* Passlno AWaV.—A Ptnsylvania contem porary very tersely expresses its conviction that the republican party is in a “bad way.” The late elections have caused ftiCkfening sensations to pass through every Hbfe of the organization. A g-eat many men of character and solidity of intellect have left the party since the close of the wkr, so that to-day its leaders comprise but few of the leading men in its formation, and of those who can lay any claim to its leadership, there are but feW who sympathize with each other’s sentiments. They see columns of the “Grand Army of the Republic” wavering, and each has a specific for hold ing them from breaking. Grant sends soL diers, and he watches the elections by the aid of unconstitutional laws backed by the bayonet. That has tailed. Some thought the enfranchisement of the negroes would hold the party. Sambo went promptly to the polls and supported the party of frauds, of malice, and revenge, but still the columns faltered, and the negro vote has proved an element of weakness rather than strength. Greely, foreseeing the tfoilblc ahead, re* vived his pet theory of protection to Amer ican manufacturers to the detriment of the consumer. A ffew Wiser than Greeley be gin to discover that protection will not answer. People want cheap goods, that is, the privilege of purchasing their commodi ties of those they can buy the cheapest. Consequently the New York Tribune and the Chicago Tribune—the East and West— are at loggerheads on the question of tariff. Such a feeling is engendered by the advoca cy of protection that it is probable that several low tariff Repuolican members of Congress will coalesce with the Democrats on the tariff question and thus defeat the protectionists, and likewise the only live Republican issue. The Bepublican party is like a camel which survives a long time without food and drink, having the faculty of drawing dn the hump or excrescence on the back fur nourishment, when all other resources are withheld. The Republican party took a good-sized hump on its back when it elected Grant. Since that time it has traveled over a deseft Waste, fioding nothing green to eat, brackish waters to drink, and blast ing winds filled with blinding dust. The negro even is less sweet to Republican senses. And as we have said, the party feels sick, a sort of goneness ; and were it not for the excrescence on the back of the party, the Administration, from which to draw temorary supplies by absorption—by absorbing a part of themselves, the party would expire at once, “as bubbles do when they burst.” Important Decision in tite United States Circuit Court.— ln the case of George W. Hatch vs. William 11. Bur roughs, Judge Wood in Savannah, Tuesday morning, delivered ah able ahd lengthly opinion upon the demurier of plaintiff to various pleafc of defendant. This was a suit by the plaintiff, who was a holder of the bills of the Merchants’ and Planters’ Bank, against Burroughs, a stockholder thereof. It is unnecessary to notice the pleas in detail and at length. The three main points embraced in the deeision were: Ist, That under the charter of the Mer chants’ and Planters’ Bank* the stockholders by the terms of the charted Were not sure ties and only ultimately liable, but that they were primary debtors with the bank, and primarily liable to the holders. 2d. That although the bills sued on may have been issued during the war for the purpose of aiding the rebellion, and actually used for that purpose, and on that account illegal, still, in the hands of a bona fide purchaser for value without notice, they would be upheld and tbe holder would be entitled to recover on them. 3d. That it does not matter *hat the holders of the bills paid for them ; they will not be restricted in their recovery to that price, but would be entitled to recover tbe full amount expressed upon the face of the bills } that the price paid for the bills could by no means effect the recovery, and the mere fact that tbe bills in this case were bought at fifteen cents on the dollar would have no other effect than probably that of suggesting to a prudent man that the Bank has suspended and was insolvent. The McClurg-BroWn fight in Missouri, is bringing to the surface some strange facts in relation to the previous position of the parties on the slavery question. It appears that Mr. Brown and most ot his party who stood by him in the late contest, were eman cipationists when Missouri was a slave State, and when Drake and other leaders of the McClurg faction were pro-slavery men. The latter, as Radicals, stood out against negro enfranchisement long after the senti ment of the party elsewhere sanctioned it, and they deprived the negro of suffrage* and kept him so deprived in Missouri until the Fifteenth Amendment took the question out of their hands, just as they had been pro slave.y till others treed the slaves. But no sooner was the negro armed with the ballot and made a political power in the State, than McClurg swung round on his side, be. came a double-dyed Radical, and opposed to the enfranchisement of white men. And the negroes acted with McClurg and bis party of hypocrites ; voted for the frten who had been their enemies in the Radical party, and thus disgusted intelligent men in all organizations. This feature in the Missouri contest has produced an altered state of feeling among those who have heretofore been the strongest advocates of negro suf frage, and the St. Louis Republican re marks that the Democracy in Missouri is so strong and Degro suffrage is so weak, that, if a suggestion shall ever be made to take from colored voters the weapon they have handled so awkwardly, it will come from another source than the Democratic party.

If these differences of climate shall be found as unimportant as the differences of soil are in China, it will be impossible to theorize upon the question from any known facts, and the practicability of tea culture in this country must be settled by experi ment alone. i At a club of which Jerrold was a mem ber, a fierce Jacobite and a friend as fierce of the cause of William 111. were arguing ntfis#ly, and disturbing less excitable con versationalists.
