I Friday ttonring, Hay 20,1870. Political Capital at lu? Expense olia. , dnslPIal Capital. The Charleston Republican is seeking to make ?11 .tho capital it can ont o? ?orne remarks attributed to Col. T>.' Wyatt Aiken, in tho Charleston Agricultural and Immigration Convention. The ef? fort ?B nov? making to improve South Carolina by tho introduction in our midst of a good and intelligent class of settler* fiona the tfortk.and Europe. So far aa Col. Aiken's remarks are con? cerned, he Bpeoks* for himself. Bnt if tho Republican desires it understood that a cordial "welcome,does not await tho im migrant here,, tuen does il misrepresent thu sentiments of our people. Tho im? migrant who comes hore will stand upon his merits, and those merits will secure for him the same r?cognition in South Carolina aa elsewhere. This was tho sen? timent, of the convention. But why pa? rado the remarks of a delegate, and make political capital out of them? What gqod'to South Carolina does this eilect? Tkt? Republican affects to desire i in mi granta to aottlo in this State. But does its-course not show that this is a mero pretense and a sham? Does its course not show that it is ready to sao ri fleo the indus tr i al interest? of tho State to ac ootriphoh small party purposes? Tbe Re? publican vre presumo, does not really de? si ro tho introduction of while settlers in the State! It prefers the political and the financial passenger. It prefers that the soil of South Carolina be kept open to the inroads and ravages of the rob? bers and pilferers, who improperly ma? nipulate the bonds and stocks of the Sute,-and put their hands deep down into the treasury. It would have South Carolina to continue one vast PRESERVE for the would-be lordly masters of the State's finances. As to this Convention matter, which the Republican rolls like a sweet morse! under its busy tongao, its course hat been most unfair. It brings out mosl prominently one adverse feature of Col, Aiken's remarks, but it has little to sa; about-the generous, hearty, liberal anc broads views-that the Convention ap proved "and applauded. . Let the STATI perish, but let THE PARTY live-this seemi the creed of "the organ." To us, it oe curs, that a better sentiment is, to le PARTIES perish and OFFICE SEEKERS ant OFFICE-HOLDERS perish willi them, pro vided the STATE shall live. Thus, a least, the "rank and file" think-thus at least, the PEOPLE reason. The St. Domingo negroes, we are sorr to see, are growing "riled." We havi the New York Tribune's authority for tin threat of "a general revolution," ex peoted there, "unless the United State interfere and ratify the treaty." Tbi will no doubt provea terrible eventualis for Northern radicals to contemplate; bu down here it will be regarded much mor placidly. We are not aware of any mis fortune we could bear with more Chris tian resignation than a revolution in St Domingo, or any other locality, fa enough away from onr country. Beside this, we could find considerable consola tion in the fact that the longer it last and the more vigorous it is carried on the fewer Dominicans there will bo lei to annex, when Gen. Qraut succeeds i lobbying tho bill through Congress. Th only ourions thing about it is that th St. Domingo negroes should be such al surd fools as to go to fighting with euc! other because the United States decline their sooiety-as clear a case of bitin, off the nose to spite the faco as ever cam under international observation. If tho will do it, however, and Greeley assure us of that fact, all we have to say to thei is: "Go it! Pitch in! and may tho bes man win." We can certainly stnnd it o long as they can. FOR CONGRESS.-Mivjor J. E. Bacot of Edgefield, having been nominated ft Congress from this Congressional D?? trict, has accepted tho nomination. I his card, Major Bacon, roferriug to hi political views, says: "I cannot better express them in gc neral than by a reference toaud endorst ment of tho resolutions of tho lato pre? convention in Columbia. The consutr - mation devoutly to bo wished is tb hearty co-operation of a'l classes of tb community, regardless of color or prev ous condition, in order to ruliovo th people from the onerous burden of taxi tion so recklessly nud cumulatively cat upon them; to inaugurate an econom?a reform of the fiuanoes, and to expos and denounce the corruption now rio ing and fattening in high places." < o ? ? BETTER-"How do you feel this mon ing James ?" ' . Very much better, I than you, I did not think, when I carno ou that I was so well; but I know I am be ter now, for I just met the undortakc and he looked black at me !" A rebellion of tho Khirgish tribes, li ing on the shores of the Caspian Se; against tho authority of Bussia, is r ported from London. The Blue Bidgo Railroad bond case was opened y os tord ay, but al the request of Judge Melton* tho:-'argument was postponed until to-day. The following is an abstract fr?m tt?* st?nographie mi? nutes of the Clerk of the Senate, on the diBoassion of the bill proposing the en? dorsement of the State upon the bonds of the Greenville nud Columbia Railroad Company, at the regular session of thc Legislature, in 1868-'9, the Senate hav? ing under consideration the veto of his Excellency tho Governor. Hon. D. T. Corbin, Chairman of the Judiciary Com? mittee of the Senate, after a lengthy discussion upon tho impolicy of the en? dorsement, said: Last but not least in this discussion, I earnestly invito.the attention of tho Se? rn? to to the Constitution recently adopted by tho State, and which we have all so? lemnly sworn to support. In my judg? ment, it prohibits the Legislature from endorsing the bonds of any railroad company. Tho seventh Section of Arti? cle IX is as follows: "For the purpose of defraying extraordinary expenses, the State may contract publio debts; but euch debts shall be authorized by law for some single object to be distinctly speci? fied therein, and uo such law shall take effect until it shall have been passed by a vote of two-thirds of the members of each branch of tho General Assembly, to ho recorded by yeas and nays on tho journals of each House, respectively, and every such law shall levy n tax, an? nually, to pay the annual interest ou such debt." The tenth Section of the same Article recites, that "No scrip, certificate, or other evidence of State indebtedness, shall be issued, except for the redemp? tion of stock, bonds, or other evidences of indebtedness, previously issued, or for such debts as are expressly authorized in this Constitution." The fourteenth Section provides that "Any debt contracted by the State shall bo by loans on State bonds, of amounts not less than fifty dollars caoh, ou inte? rest, payable within twenty years after the final passage of the law authorizing Huoh debt." A correct registry of all such bondB was to be kept by the Treasurer in nu? merical order, so as always to exhibit the number and amount unpaid." aud to whom severally made payable. These three sections, in my judgment, restrict the State as to the purposes and manner of contracting debts. The pur? poses are, first, "To defray extraordi? nary expenditures;" second, "for the re? demption of stock, bonds or other evi? dences of indebtedness previously issued;" or third, "for such debts us are expressly authorized in this constitu? tion." The manner is "by loan ou State bonds, of amounts not less than $50, each on interest payable within twenty years after the final passage of the law authorizing such debt." It must be understood that the pur? poses and manner for which, and by which, State indebtedness is created, must all unite iu each and every case. I ask, if this be true, and it is but the simple direct language of tho constitu? tion, how can a liability be increased by the State, by aa endorsement of the bonds of a railroad or any other com? pany? Certainly it canuot ho said that this is HU issue of State bouds, aud it canuot be said to bo au extraordinary expendituro of the State, because the State spends nothing. It canuot be said to be a luau upou State bonds, because the State borrows nothing. Hence, I insist, that neither in mader nor manner, shape or form, is there any compliance with the terms of the constitution, by which responsibility is increased by the State. But I seo aronud nie a disposition to pass this bill. I feel that what I am saying falls powerless upon the ears of the Senate, aud that this bill will be passed. But I have felt it my duty, us n Senator upon this floor, to lift my voice of warning, of protest and of entreaty, against the policy of this bill, aud against the constitutionality of it. I shall vote against it and leave to pos? terity to judge who of us is right. < -? ? > PATRIOTICALLY SAID.-The Anderson Intelligencer, referring to a remark of ours that wo could not appreciate tho wisdom of its suggestion to waive opposition to the radical nominee for Governor, re? affirms its views, but snj's in conclusion : "But the PHOSIX declares that it never eau and never shall give its assent to tho programme suggested by this journal. Wo beg lenvo to say, in this connection, that our views nro offered in advance of a State Convention, and should such a body, reflecting fairly tho wishes nnd opinions of tho majority of our political associates, determine to nominate a State ticket, wo shall bow submissively to its behest." Tho mniu reason given by the Intelli ?/encer to recedo from an issue on tho ?tate ticket is embraced iu this extract. That journal says : "The colored vote is strongly iu favor if the prospective radical uomiuee, un lerstood to bu Gov. Scott. Aud while yo would not let him walk .uncbnlleug id over tho field,' if wo could see u pro? bability of defeating him, yet we are sonvinced that every effort should bo nade to put good and true men in the Legislature, and that this can best be ac? complished by concentrating tho fight .ipou men of local reputition rather thau iggrogating the contest for the Executive Department. The latter is bouiid io overshadow and give color to tho contest in every County, aud wo are not hopeful )f tho result. Henoe, we have express id our views candidly, if not with the prudence and circumspection of others."

Aiken, wheroln ho doelarea that if bis remarks in tho Agricultural and Immigration Convention have given offence, it io because they were miscon 0 trued. TVc feel sure that Col. Aiken's views have been misunderstood. Gol. A. is a working man himself, and we are satisfied that no one appreciates more | felly than he the claims and the dignity of honest toil and manly work, in whom? soever illustrated. He is a man earnestly | and busily encaged in the work of in? dustrial development, and whatever ho may have said iu tho heat of discussion, he shows his faith by his works. In his letter be says: "Mr. Editor, I cherish individual re? spect, but have neverstooped to court it. 1 have not 'crooked the pregnant hinges of the knee that thrift might follow fawniDg.' I esteem tho regard of a community, and have never wilfully given offence. If I have done so in this instance, it is because I have been mis? understood, and therefore I feel no mor? tification for what I have said. "What speaker before the Convention claimed that 'all the sense and all the cultivation of tho universe was confined to South Carolina?' Who said we could not learn much from the Gorman, the Irishman or the Englishmau? Certainly I did not; for among the adopted citi? zens of this State, 1 have tho honor to number many warm personal friends. And ono of tho staunchest friends I have is a Northern man, who is now my neigli bor." A modern Joseph has ariseu in the person of Rev. J. M. Woodman, of Chico, California, who announces that nest year there will he nu awful fumiue, succeeding seven years of pleuty, which the reverend goutlemau says wo have had.

Columbia, S. C., April 30. 1870. May 3 First Love. It io one of tb o oddest points of dif? ieren ce bo tween mau abd woman tb nt woman bas no fi ra t Io YO. Tho long ni pha - bet of her affections is without any dis? tinct end or^begipning; jabe monote by insensible gradations from dolls and kittens and net brothers to the zenith of Eassion, to Ascend by the same insensi Ie gradations from tho zenith of passion through pet brothers to tabby cats. Thero is no such event as a first kiss forms in a boy's life to mark for womnu the transition from girlhood to the sud? den maturity of passion; abe has been kissing, and purring, and fondling, and petliug from Uer cradle, and she will pet, uDd fondle, and purr, aud kiss to her grave. Love, in tho technical sense of the word, is with her little more than an intensifying of ber ordinary life. There is no new pictnre, but tho colors are for the while a little heightened and the tone raised. . Presently tho vividness of color will fado again, aud tho cool grays lower the tone, and tho passion of lifo will have died away. But thero will be no definite moment nt which one could fairly say that love came or went. A girl who is not whispering in a lover's ear, will always say frankly enough that she never knew what it was not to be in love. There is one obvious deduction which she forgets to draw, that there never can bo a timo when she can know what it is to be in love. Here and there, of course, a woman may bo colder, or hitor iu development, or moro self con? scious, and may divide by more rigidly marked lines Ibo phases of her life. But even thou, if she be a woman nt all, she can have uo first love. Feeliug, with woman, has no past, os it has no futuro. Every phase of ber life begins with an act of oblivion. Every love is a lirst love. "I never loved any one before," is said, aud said truly, to a dozen loving ears in succession. "Tho first thing I should like to meet with in Paradise," said Lady Wortley Moutngu, "would be the river Lethe, the stream of Forgetful? ness." But woman finds a little rivulet of Lethe at every stage of her heart's career. If she remembers the past at all, it is to offer it up as a burnt sacrifice to the deity of the present. When Cleopatra talked about Crosar to Mark Antony, abo passed, no doubt, her fingers through her lover's bair and wondered how she could have ever doted on such a bald-pated fellow ns tho Dictator. Had she succeeded in charming Octavius, she would have wondered equally at her in? fatuation for such a ne'er-do-well as Autouy. Aud so it is no wouder that a woman's first love, even if she realizes it at all, goes down in this general wreck of the past. Hut in man's lifo it is a revo? lution. It is in fact the one thing that makes him man. Tho world of boyhood is strictly ii world of boys. Sisters, cousins, aunts, mothers, aro mixed up in the generul crowd of barbarians that stand without the play-ground. There are few warmer or more poetic affections thru the chivalrous friendship of school? fellows; thero is no truer or more genu? ine worship than a boy's worship of the hero of the scrimmage or the cricket field. It is a fine world in itself, but it is a wonderfully narrow and restricted world. Not a girl may peep over the palings. Girls can't jump, or fag out, or swarm up a tree; they have nothing to talk about as boys talk; they never heard of that glorious swipe of Old Brown's, they are awful milk-sops, they cry and "tell mamma." they are afraid of a governess, and of a cow. It is impos? sible to couceivo a creature more utterly contemptible in a boy's eyes than a girl of his owu age usually is. Then in some fatal moment comes tho revolution. The barrier of contempt goes down with a crash. The boy-world disappears. Brown, that god of the play-ground, is cast to tho owls and to the bats. There is ti Budden coolness in tho friendship that was to last from school to the grave. Paper-chases aud the annual match with tho "old fellows" cease to bo the highest objects of human interest. There is less excitement than there wau last year when a great cheer welcomes the news that Mugby has got the Ireland. The boy's lifo bas become muddled and confused. The old existence is sheering off, and the new comes shyly, fitfully. It is ouly by a sort of compulsion that he will owu that be is making all this "fuss" about a girl. For tho moment he rebels against the spell of that ono little face, the witchery of that ono little hand. Ho lingers on tho border of this new country from whence thero is no return to the old playing-fields. Ho is shy, strange to this world of woman, and wotnau's talk and woman's ways. Tho surest, steadi? est foot on tho cricket ground tumbles over foot-stools, aud tangles itself in colored wools. Tho sturdiest arm that ever wielded bat trembles at the touch of tho tiny finger. The voice that rang out like n trumpet among tho tumult of foot-ball hushes aud trembles and falters in saying half a dozen commonplace words. The old sense of mastery is gone. Ho knows that every chit in the nursery has found out his secret, and is laughing over it. Ile blushes, and a boy's blush is a hot, painful thing, when tho sisterly heads bend together and bo hears them whispering what a fool be ia. Yes, ho is a fool-that?8 one thing which ho feels quito certain about. Thero is only ono other thing which he feels ev? n moro certain about-that he is in love, and that love has made him a man.

It is in the power of this convention to accom? plish much good in its sphere of thought and action. At all times, ?ducation is a subject of prime importance. At this, time, more than ever, does it,deserve consideration. We need the graces and amenities of literature, because they ele? vate aud reform the mind. But mor? than these clements, we need now that sort of education and training which nindi go to prepare tho rising generation for tho principal work before us. Wfa^t maj be called the homely branches they should be developed. We urgently want that information which can be ap? plied to agriculture, commerce, mining, manufactures, and industrial pursuits in j geucral. Aud it occurs to us that edu? cation, in its elementary features, should ? look to these points. There are other points of importance whioh will doubt? less attract tho attcution of the conven? tion. Full proceedings of the meeting last night will be giveu in our noxt. CRUMBS.-Tho body of Mr. John L. Humphreys will arrive this afternoon, instead of yesterday, as stated in ourlast issue. It is stated that the new administration of tho Greenville and Columbia Railroad contemplate the erection of a telegraphic line between Columbia and Greenville at some future time. Many a menu man grumbles because it costs ns much per day for ice for his whole fumi'y as a single drink for him? self. The second regular quarterly meeting of the South Carolina Monument Asso? ciation will be held this (Friday) evening, at G o'clock, at the Depository of the Industrial Association. The officers, Board of Directors, Finance Committee and Collectors for Bichland County are requested to be punctual in attendance. A fine South-down or broad-tailed sheep was in market yesterday.
