- To breathe one good breath of : a

South Carolinian generally sighs vain
between the taxes and the-lien law,
he is fortuuate if. he : breathes at all.
But, where there is a will there is a

path of the future.
We were surpris-

hope in the sincerity, of Gov. Cham

vigilance should be chloroformed for
a moment, by 8ucba prince of sche
mers, as our worthy Governor has ac
quired the reputation of being. The
South Carolina tax-payer should now,
more than ever, sleep with both eyes

grand sweepstake?, of which the very
recant collapse of Hardy, Solomons,
the banker, is only the avant-courier.

Poor Columbia! It is t:iid that when
the yellow fever prevailed ho fearfully
in Norfolk, the air was nlled with
strange insects, floating lazily about
1 in tuestreet8 like evil spirits, rejoicing
in tne desolation they had spread
over the city. Just so in Columbia,
at the present time, the flies float
about in the hotels, with their swollen
abdominal.-, as if they two were gorg-
led with the taxes that are stolen from
the people. The sunshine is of the
hot and sickly order, which reminds
one of yellow fever and 'b'aek vom
it, at least it was so on the e-.at side ol
the main street, on the morning of
t he 1st day of July, 1873. Vision of
Sodom and Gomorrah, and Babylon
and Ninevtih, floated before the mind.
as this pandemonium of modern times
spread its grim . surroundings before
the eye, and piously called up in the
imagination some avenging plague or
earthquake, that would veep from
the world the Modocs, who have en
trenched themselves amongst the ru

How long I Oh ! how. long !
On. the cars for Charlotte, we found
Gov. Bonham. on his way to Winsbo-
ro, and he.too,, was hoping and trying
to believe. lie had not beard of Hais
dy's new deal in the game, or perhaps
he would have-been better prepared
to estimate the chances of reform,
where the negro vote prevails. He
can see now, that it is hopeless abso
lutely hopeless and that the only
alternation for the people of South
Carolina is to make it "dangerous"
forsuch men as Hardy Solomons and
his Confederates, longer to remain
upon South Carolina soil.
We had a very long talk with this
noble son of Carolina, and parted
from him at his point of destination,
with" regret. Then, on to Charlotte, a

Amongst our new acquaintances in

our young professional brother, Mr. I
Wilson: for whose courteous attention
we are sincerely grateful. Me bids
fair to assert himself successfully at
the bar, and secure a brilliant and
prosperous future.
A good deal must be said, in justice
to Uol. Wm. Johnson. We saw him
only in his public relations, and can
say but little of him, personally. In
the county convention, to nominate
delegates to the convention to amend
the constitution, he received an unan
imous vote, and no doubt, deserved it,
Vet there are those, who are bitterly
opposed to him; in the city, because

platform where ihe true patriot and
menu ot the people is to le found
.Neither iiolitical nor private virtue
can always find appreciations, even
amongst those who are benefitted by
it. but his real position can be well
understood, by looking at the fact,
that he-has exposed himself to the
fiery attacks of all the bunkers and
capitalists, in order to protect the
people from ruin. This well, they are
powerful enemies, and it was an act of
self.8acrince for Uol. Johnston to come
to the front, add expose himself to
such dangerous enemies, for the sake
of the hard pressed 'debtor who for
temporary -.relish would commit him
self beyond - all future recovery. He
has fairly earned the distinction of a
sagacious, , far-seeing public servant,
and what is still better, of an honest
independent man, that will fearlessly
speak out for the public good. The
true relations of the borrower to the
lender, is that of the chicken to the
hawk, the one wants to devour, and
the other don't want to be devoured,
most certainly the chicken ought not
to consult the .hawk, about the best
way of keepings out - of his clutches
inis is a subject which is awaking a
very deep interest, in other latitudes
than North Carolina, and it will be well
that the example set by Col. Johnston
in Mecklenburg, should be followed
up, every where else. '

for imparting a complete course of in

him known both far and wide.: and
the writer can proudly point to one of
his.own sons, as a living example of
the invaluable tramine which he re
ceived at the hands of Col. Thomas,
when his school was located in South
Carolina. There is one thing certain,
if a vounff eentleman - remains with
him onlv for, twelve months - he will
never foreet even the small advantage,
comparatively,' of so short a stay. If
he succeeds in "graduating," his hab
its are fixed,- and all the good, old
mothers and fathers may7 tell their
daughters: "There is a man you may
tie to!": It he graduates witn "oisunc
tion," he has a right to aspire to the
verv highest" honors of the land," for
he will deserve them. To make the

As to Charlotte, generally, and par
ticularly, it well; deserves the reputa
tion it has earned, lor tne intelligence,
energy, public spirit, hospitality and
taste of, its population; We walked
through it leisurely, and were struck
by the great number of splendid pri
vate residences to be found in every
discription. Yes! and we 'flew" through
it: and all around it. as Mr. Morehead
can testify, for to his kindness we owe
a perfect John Gilpin whirl, with ,his
splendid black horse, all over and
through the city at a rate ot speed
which has left a moving panorama of
all the scenerv still gliding over tne
brain nothing distinct, but a sort of
general display of fine houses passing
Ir isi j : j : ; w.

railroad cars, rushing on to make up
an half hour behind schedule time,
We sincerely thank Mr. Morehead for
his very polite and kind attention, but
think that on another similar occa-
sion we shall enioy it better, if he will
have an apparatus attached to his
wheels to operate as a brake, and al-
low. his companion in danger, the
supreme control of the handle. One
false step of that noble horse would
have made two disconsolate widows,
and any number of orphans; but that
false step was not made; and we" new
back to the Central Hotel: all sale and
sound, convinced that we had rode
with the nrince of horses, as well as
with the prince of drivers
We would like to say sometnmg
about Ihe ladies whom we had the
pleasure of meeting, for they deserve
more than a passing nonce, out as
thev shrunk from such a publicity,
we refrair. They will excuse the wri
ter however, if he only savs .that he
heard a IV male voice in Dr. Millers
Church, that made him it-cl young
again. It was clear and distinct above
alt the others, and besides that, dis
played itself in one of the most charm
ing solos that ever letl upon his ear.
He professes to be a judge of music,
and in fact "makes some which is
none of tne worst, of the old corn field
kind. And therefore, when he hears
something which is perfectly exquis
ite in the human voice, he begins to
picture the face, form and general ap-
pearance of the invisible songstress.and
he is sure she would not be displease -
ed to look at that creature of his
fan-
cy and recognize it as herself.
Now, one more paragraph, and -we
are done. If the white people of Char
lotte will look down into South Giro
Una. they will see in the condition of
her people, the horrible consequences,
of divided counsels in lobU. ihe uon
servatives have a majority in Meek
lenburg which they they cannot only
keep, but reinforce by accessories
from tne republican ranks attracted by
their just and equitable use of power
and by the nrm lront which tney
present to all opposition. If they di
vide for any reason whatever the radi
cals will march to power through
their broken ranks. Old North Caroli
na will have started on its march to
barbarism. "Snero melioraY' Even a
stranger can discover that there is not
perfect harmony amongst the Conser-
vatives in Charlotte; but if the radicals
can forget all causes of dissension
amongst themselves, and close their
hies at the approach or the uonserva
tives it onlv requires the same
sagacity on the part of the latter
to make still firmer th hold ihey
have upon ; their; State government.
Relax it for amoment, whilst a watch-i
ful enemy is all around you. and you
are in the power of the negro ! For
the sake of your sister States whQ.4i.re

ample, for their qwrv encouragement
