COLUMBIA. S. C. Saniay Komine:, September 3, 1871. There would appear to be something ia tho climate of South America inimical to the stability of political institutions. Even in Brazil, where the Government is administered BO liberally and so wi Bely, and where, consequently, is moro pros? perity than in any other community on the lower continent, a political excite? ment has sot in, having for its object the overthrow of tho empire. Republican? ism is aimed at, und the movement is said to be progressing well. Its origi? nators assert that they aro of America, and want to bo Americans. They cou tond that tho present form of govern? ment is contrary to the rights and inte? rests of American States, and that its permanency will provo tho origin of oppression at homo and a perpetual source of hostility and wars with the peoples around them. It makes Bruzil an isolated country, not only iu the heart of America, but also iu tho middlo of tho world. This is all vory woll, and were the people fit to govern themselves upon republican principies, nothing is moro desirable than that Brazil should full in line with the Uuitcd States. But that is not, by any means, oertain. Except? ing in the case of the Argentine Repub? lic, the history of republics in Central and Southora Amerioa is not encourag? ing- Still, tue peoplo of Brazil are moro substantial and settled in character thau most of their neighbors, and tho oouutry might prove oven moro worthy of respect as a republic than it has as an empire. ? * ? ? Fenianism in Ireland flourishes de? spico the many attempts of England to omah it out of existence. To tho de? monstration under the very windows of the Prince of Wales, whioh ended iu tho late Dublin riot, succeeds the ovatiuu to the French deputation in their departuro from Kingston. A procession escorted the delegates from France; the bands played American, French and Irish airs; the police scowled atthepoople; and the populace looked with no favorable eyes on the civil guardians of tho English power. Fortunately, the ill feeling vented itself iu nothing mora serious than theso mute exchanges of ill-fooling, and the Fenians honored those when they esteemed their guests in peaceful triumph. To render still more invidi? ous the difference in tho receptions ac? corded by the Irish people to the English royal family and the delegates from Franco, au attempt was made recently to destroy, by means of gunpowder, the statue of George IV, at Kingston. Thc explosivo was so clumsily placed as tc merely blacken, and not seriously injure the effigy of royalty; but tho act is none the less significant in tho chain of evi? dence that Fenianism is more vigorous and bitterly persisteut in Ireland thar in tho United States, though the EuglisL journals tried hard to persuade theil readers to the contrary a few mou tin ago. Nothing seems to cune?le tho Freud people moro for their disastrous reverse in tho lato war with Germany thau tb d?termination of tho people of Alsuc and Lorraine not to livo under tho sn a; of tho conquerors of Franco. With ex ultutiou it is announced from Paris tba 23,000 of tho inhabitants of Strasbourj have left their city to escape tho Teutoi rule, seeking new homes in Franco mn in this country. With tho usual outhit siastio short-sightedness, theso irrepres siblo sous of fair Franco forget that thi self expatriation of loyal Frenchmen from the conquered provinces, but leave room for emigrants frum tho now om pin who will gladly hasten to fill the place vacated by tho enemies of the Teuton And if this exchange of the inhabitant goes on for a twelve-month or twt Strasbourg will becomo ns Teutonic t Borlin. And the sumo will hold good ( all Alsace and tho Province of Lorraini Thus thoroughly Germanized there wi be left no hope for Franco to re-possei herself of the late provinces savo by tl rode arguments of pitched battles. Ge mans in Alsaco and Lorraino aro u< likely to entor iuto plots to expand tl territory of the President, Emperor < King ruling over Franco. Now it is whispered that tho Cores war is even worse than a blunder, nc that our naval forces were eithor d ceivod or made uso of by speoulato resident in China for sol fish purpose Even the alleged inoentive to tho attacl the massacre of tho crew of the Go Sherman, is doubted, although this ci lamity appears to be confirmed by G rean despatches. The rosult, it feared, will bo very annoying to con meroe and of no substantial benet otherwise; as our prestige is injured, mischievous source of hostility has bei oxoited, and in futuro shipwrecked sai ors will bo exposed to grealor atrocitii than ever. TUE PuAOB OK EUROPE.-Tho recent imperial aud ministerial meetings ut Beveral places iu Oormauy, und more es? pecially the couterenao between Bismarck and Von Beust, at Gastien, havo giveu riso, as hos heretofore boon Bhown, to a variety of rumors. A treaty botweon Austria and Germany, a treaty between Germany and Italy, aud a "triple alli? ance" to which each of those powers subscribe, havo severally und collectively beeu set forth either as the accomplished or prospectivo results of theso confer? ences. To-tlay the report assumes a more extended shape, and, according to tho i'Vea Press, of Viouna, "a loaguo for the preservation of the peace of Europe has been formed, aud Austria, Germany, Italy, and perhaps Russia, aro its adhe? rents." Tho latest previous despatches gave quite a different view of the situa? tion, placing Russia outside of the "ring," aud exhibiting a combination designed to ueutralizo an alliance of Fra'uce with that power. It is evident, howevor, that pacification is tho great object of theso confereuces, and not, as some journals persist iu maintaining, u mere royal game of chess. -.-?-<*-? The concluding passages of General Ewing's speech present so forcibly the missiou of the Democratic party, that they deserve a conspicuous placo ia overy journal devoted to the rights and liberties df tho people. Wo cannot com? mend thom too highly: In this contest the Democratic party is the sword and buckler of the people. It has fought every existing abuso, and tried to apply evory appropriate remedy. Though sometimes controlled by slavery, and ruokod by disoord and by wur, it has kept tho faith in the people and free goverumeut, which Jeffersou, its glori? ous apostle, taugbt. It represents no faction, but tho whole people; uo sec? tion, but tho whole country. It is not a white man's party, or a black man's party; n poor mau's or a rioh mau's, a Christiau's or au infidel's party. It is the people's party. It will trample on no mau, and give no mau profereuce before the law. It stands for the reserved rights of tho people aud the States, because liberty dwells with them. It is jealous of every extension of Federal power, because the path to consolidation leads on to despotism. It fights for equality against privilege Dumocracy against aristocracy-govern? ment by the ballot against government by th? dollar and tho bayonet. It looks to the people, aud seeks di? rection and strength from them, whence comes tho inspiration of evory great re? form. And it now especially calls on the musses of the Republican nod Labor Reform parties-the "plain" people, whe aro iuterested least in mere party tri umphs, and most iu such meusures nt will givo to the workingman a fair shari of tho wealth he creates, while laying ot him ouly a fair share of the just burden! of government-to help overthrow tilt Republican party, all of whoso policial tend to strengthen, exempt and exal capital, and weaken, burden und dc grade labor. ?-???-? Dr.. LIVINGSTONE.-A few days ago thu cabio brought tho rofreshiug news tba Dr. L viugstoue, tho Africau explorer, was coming home, and tho universal as I piration was that he would stay nt hom I wheu ho got there. To-day tho uew from Zanzibar is to the effect that tin celebrated traveler is still among th Arabs Wost of Luke Tanganyika, ant that he is "moving slowly" in his effort to discover the truo source of tho Nile Dr. Livingstone is doubtless a very pro found man in his way, but an nu ox plorer, although it is true ho bas ha* many difficulties to encounter, he ha not developed a very brilliant capuoit; for energetic movement in providiu] against or overcoming them. There eau bo no doubt that the worl undertaken by Livingstone is u groa one, but only tho most unequivocal sue ?ess can ?low prevent serious detrimen to bis reputation as au explorer. H lins expended years iu what seems t have beeu mere loitering amongst th Arabs of equatorial Africa, and almo? every message that has como from hil has been in the nature nf a wail of dis? tress or some other wretched apology lo inaction.

Reynolds, Mr. R. M. Wallace was called to the ohuir, aud Mr. J. W. Hogan requested to aot as Secretary. At the request of tho Chairman, Hov. J. Ii. Reynolds explained tho objeot of the meeting, and on bin motion it wus resolved that the County School Commissioner bo requested to furnish to tho meeting n correct state? ment of tho indebtedness aud claires of teachers aguinst tho County Treasurer for this School District. Carried. On motion of Mr. W. M.

On motion, thu meotiug udjuurued. At a meotiug of the voters residing in tho tenth School District, held ut Mount Pleasant Camp Grouud, on tho 31st of August, Mr. E. H. Miles wus called to tho chair and Mr. Jas. W. Lover ap? pointed Secretary. Tho following reso lotion was unanimously adopted: Resolved, That wo recommend that an extra tux of 30 per eeut. bo lovu-d upon the voters in this school district, in order to raiso the sum of $250, being the amount requisite for repairing and erect? ing new school houses in this school d?a tri?te CoiiOMHiA, S. C., Sept. 2, 1871. Mn. EUITOII: lu this morning's PIXIE NIX appears a letter, without a name, headed "Charlotte Railroad," in which tho writer advises stockholders that soma one is buyiug the stock of this road, aod wauts to buy 5,000 shares moro; and also tells those very stock? holders to hold their stock for ?550 per share; and I think this writer would be glad to slip round and sell his stock at a much less figure. Tho President and three Directors purchased 3,31)5 shares of stuck of tho Rank of tho State iu February last, nt 535 per share, and, as late as J une, two gf these Directors swore that that was a fair prico, and their affi? davits were filed among the records of tho Court, in tho city ot Charleston, on tho Ith duy of August. These same President and Directors sold this large lot of stock at a much less figure than 850 per share. Since that time, several largo lots have beeu purchased, uud one party now holds about 10,000 shares. Tho capital stock of thu company is less than 20,000 shares, nod less than 13,000 shares is a mnjority; and therefore the party who is buyiug this stock will want to purchase only 3,000 shares more, un? til they will have full control. When this is thc case, and this road goes iuto the hands of a ring, outside stock will uot be worth $20 per share. Now, the question is, not that all eau sell, but who is willing to miss this opportunity for selling their stock nt a fuir pri?e-say amount sworn to bo a fair price by some of the Directors, $35. or even more eau bo had now, as we learned of one sale ut S10 per share to-day. Before the Erie stock was controlled by a ring, it wus worth more than par, and uow uo one wants to buy it at $30 per share. Un? derstand one thing, aud that is, that, some few want overybody elso to esk a high price, und they will sell the first chanco they get, and supply the balance that is wanted, and leave tho others to hold their worthless stock, and realize how foolish it is to listen to designing meu. Very truly, STOCKHOLDER. SHAMEFUL ABANDONMENT OP Til KI lt POSTS OE Derry.-Tho Washington Pa? triot, of Saturday, makes this statement regarding the condition of affairs at the seat of Go ver u meut: "At this timo the President, Secretary of State, Secretary of thu Treasury, Secretary of the Inte? rior, Secretary of War, Secretary of the Navy and Postmaster-General, aro all [ absent.

Tho march of the scourge across tho European continent has been slow, but tho journey is ot length ac? complished, aud its uext halting place, when its march is resumed, no ono may toll. That it may find its way to Ameri? ca is not impossible, and ns the authori? ties of ovory oity, town and villago on tho contiuont havo hud fair warning of tho fact, they have-a responsibility rest? ing upon them equal at least, if not greater, than that which recent inquisi? tions have placed upon tho shoulders of lossor corporations and humbler indivi? duals in cases of calamity occurring by accident.
