COLUMBIA, S. 0,1
Tneirtay Morning, AugUBt 29,1871.
The New York Herald anticipates a
very serious disturbance of old party or?
ganizations, and perhaps of our existing
social conditions, by tbe labor reform
movement. It perceives in it tho ele?
ments of a great revolution, arraying
labor against capital; refers to its influ?
ence in tho late New Hampshire election,
and to its probable fuller exhibition of
strength in the approaching Massachu?
setts election, and concludos: "In any
event, after November, 1872, wo shall
have tho beginning of a now political
agitation in this country, which will
hardly stop short- of the greatest and
most radical and sweeping revolution in
the history of the world, and wo shall be
fortunato if wo escapo another genera)
oivil war in possing through tim ap?
proaching revolution. Snob aro tho
signs of the timos, and wo live in an age
of revolutions."
SPAIN AND KING OK AFC.-Don Garlos
has made his appearance in Spain onco
more, and it is probable that Amndeus
will have to fight for his throne. The
business of "kingcraft" is a perilous
one, and whon tho profit and loss ac?
count is summed up, it is generally
found that the balance is largely on the
loss side. The capital of one's life is in
perpetual danger, and there is an every?
day probability of being thrust out of
tho business into the streets of tho great
world by some moro fortunato specula?
tor. Europe is filled with "retired"
sovereigns, who havo quit roigning, not
?Sf fl?oir own volition, but by tho forco of
circumstances-too strong for them to ro
aist. Borne of them have settled down
quietly, and aro living merely as privato
individual ii, al moot unnoticed in the
busy whirl of the great human mael?
strom. Isabella, who made snoh a signal
failure in the business, is living content?
edly on her "private fortune," forgetting
her reverses of the past as a sovereign,
in tho luxurious life of a wealthy patri?
cian. Amadeus may one day have to
follow suit, and leave Soain either to tho
enjoyment of Republicanism or tho mis?
rule of the Carlists.
? ?
"There is a certainty, unclouded by
any doubt, that the States so long deso?
lated by war, and with the whole system
of labor revolutionized, and without
capital, havo achieved tho hardest part
of their work, and are on the ascending
scale-a scale that may be followed
almost inimitably to tho good of those
directly oouoerued and of all affected by
their welfare."
This is apparent to all who have
watched the progress of tho South sinco
tho war. After passing through an
ordeal whioh destroyed thousands of her
homos, lost to her many of her best citi?
zens, and left her almost bankrupt, she
wont bravely to work, and to day stunds
an example of what industry aud perse?
verance can do. Through all tho diffi?
culties and oppression of tho "recon?
struction measures," she safely steered
her way, and gradually built up manu?
factories and improved her system of
agriculture, until she once moro is rising
into her old position of prosperity.
COMPARATIVE GKOWTU OP POPULATION.
The total population of tho United States,
according to the last revision of tho ta?
bles iu the census offioe, is 38,5-10,087.
The recent census of Qrcat Britain gives
the population of tho United Kingdom
at 31,465,180, leaving a superiority of
7,081,507 here. Tho incrcuso in Eng?
land in tho last decade wa3 2,037,881,
and in Scotland 200,310-ten per cont.,
while Ireland loses 306,208, leaving a not
gain of about niue per oent. The Irish
emigration in tho lust ten years is re?
ported ut 810,003. Aside from this loss
of population thero, not made good by
immigration from England, it seems
that the increase in tho latter country
and in Scotland has chiefly been of tho
dangerous classes, and that tho exaoss of
females has maintained more than its
former level. The population, too, tend
moro and moro to tho cities, leaving an
insufficient supply in thu rural districts.
In this country the increase has boen
7,106,676, in Groat Britain 2.538,095, in
the decade, a gain of 1,568,581 in tho
growth of this country over that of the
other. And this ocoars, too, notwith?
standing Groat Britain has enjoyed al?
most uninterrupted peace, and hus been
enabled to enrich herself by tho raro op?
portunities furnished by our civil war
and tho war of France and Germnny.
She has had every exceptional aid for
increment, whilo in all of our history
thero was never a term that so checked
immigration, that caused so many deiithn,
and induced so many to seek other homes.
How IT is DONE.-Tho tolegraph has
stated a largo uumbar of suits for da?
mages huvo been commenced against thc
ferry company on behalf of suliorers by
fcho Westliold (ferryboat) disaster at Now
York. A reporter visiting somu of thc
onrviviug patients ut Bullovuu Hospital
loams that mousing attorneys hud beon
to thom aud procured them to sign cm
tracts empowering the attorneys to pro?
secute suit?, with tho ngreetnout that they
should receive half of any judgments
that might bo recovered.
A meotiug and re-organization of the
Howard Assooiuliou is called for in
Charleston.
THE COTTON CHOP.-The period for
gathoriug tho cotton orop having ar?
rived, tho speculators of New York and
Liverpool havo, ns usual, Bot to work to
bear tho market, and, if possible, get
the products of our planters for nothing.
The reports of bad seasons, Bhorfc aore
agre, and disasters of various sorts aro
set down as all gammon, and it is boldly
announced that the crop is nearly or
quite as largo as that of last year-ut
least equal to tho pioking capacity of the
idle- race who produce it. It is useless
to combat their ussertions, for they are
made for a purpose, and will bo adhered
to, right or wrong. AU careful readers
and disinterested observers in the ?South
know thia estimate to be a false oue.
They know that if thero is sach a thing
as truth in men, the crop is obliged to
be nour or quite a million bales short of
that of last year. On tho first page of
this paper will be found copious extracts
from the papers of nearly every cottin
growing State, and if thoy be but half
true, wo think the reasonableness of our
estimate is sustained, despite tho calcu?
lations of New York and Liverpool.
Thus is the issue mado up, and now the
struggle oommonoes between tho plant?
ers and the buyers, with the tnanufao
turers at the baoks of the latter. Last
year it was a very unequal contest.
Trado was stagnant, war was raging in
Europe, and tho planter WAS in debt and
obliged to sell. Now, the tubles are
turned. Peace reigns everywhere among
tho commercial nations, trade prospects
are cheering, tho planter owes but little,
and he has produced his own food for
another year. He is, thereforo, in a
condition to mako n bold stand and Bay
to tho cotton buyer: You must come to
reasonable terms, suoh us will pay mo a
profit on my labor, otherwise yon can?
not get my cotton, for l am not obliged
to sell. I havo lived close and worked
bard the present year; I and my factor
and dry goods and grooery merchants
are nearly even, or can easily bo made
so, and if I need money, it will bo cheap?
er, to borrow it on my cotton than sell
the.latter to you for less than it cost me
to produce it. Snob is his situation,
and ho will not fail to take advantage
of it.
On tho other band, the manufacturers
will continue to fight against this state
of things for a time, nuder enoourage
ment received from the 4,000,000 bales
men on this side. Bat the supply at
this'time is not greatly in excess of that
of last year npon a short crop, and the
falling off in the East must, of necessity
be very considerable. The demands of
trade will soon bo pressing upon them
and, as money in Europe is abaudan
and easy, they will eventually be forced
to pay a remunerative price for thei
raw material, os they ought to, and will
and that too at an early day if the gam
biers should only get out of the way
which they will eventually be forced to
do. Upon the whole, we aro inclined to
the opinion that the Southern planter
holds tho high trumps in the game th
present year, and will only have to play
them judiciously to proteot himself
against loss.-Savannah Republican.
DESTRUCTIVE FME.-Between half-past
10 and ll o'clock Saturday night a fire
broke out on the West side of Moetin
afreet, three doors below Hasel, which
resulted in the total destruction of the
two fine buildings owned by Messrs
Jennings, Thomlinson & Co., and then
occupied by Mr. J, C. Mads3U as a to
bacco storo, and by Mr. Lengnick as
fauoy goods and notion establish in eu
The fire originated in the back part o
Madsen's store, and owing to the inilam
mable nature of the stock, was well un
der way when the engines arrived. Th
flames then communicated to tho adjoin
ing store of Mr. Lenguick, anti, bein
fed by light and inflammable articles
composing the stock, both buildings
were soon enveloped in a tremendous
bluzo. The engines, although they hu
been at work all day on tho streets
pumping out, wore worked with vigor
and alacrity, and by their efforts the fire
was confined to the two buildings al
ready named. These, with the stock
contained in them, wore totuliy d
strayed. The wholesale shoe store
iNf'jssrs. E. B. Stoddard & Co., adjoining
Maiison'.s cigar storo on the North, was
also considerably damaged by the heat
It was broken into, to afford a stand
from which the streams from tho engines
could bo brought to play upou the tiro
and the water thrown into it to preveut
its taking fire did much damage to the
Btock.-Charleston News.
James Hogan, an engineer on tho Erie
Railway, was instantly killed, a few
nights ago, at Hohokus, on tho Easter
Division, under singular circumstances
Several coal trains were following oac

tor some causo, and either sent no flag
back to signal approaching trains,
their flag was not seen by the engineor
Consequently, as ho came in sight of th
stationary train aupad of him, and as h

ho thought a collision was iuovitnbl
Ho at once reversed his locomotive, b
not having tho nerve to await tho resu
jumped wildly from his cab. Ho struck

TH ?i RADICAL, OFFICIA DH.-The alarm
of si ok ness lias shown tho character of
most of the Radical officials in all their
native deformity. The Mayor ..sticks"
for the present, but with that exception
nearly the whole covey have winged
their flight Northward. Gen. Gurney,
the County Treasurer, is away, and tho
duties of his responsible office are dis?
charged by inexperienced subordinates.
Sheriff Mackey has not shown his head
for some weck?, but be is reported to bo
sick in New York. Coroner Taft slipped
off Borne timo ago, and makes no sign of
returuiug. But worst of all is the case
of Captain Jouks, the City Inspector.
This official hus charge of tho streets.
It is his duty to keep the city clean and
wholesome. By neglecting this work,
while "griutfiug axes" for Mayor Pills?
bury, he allowed Charleston to become
indescribably filthy. Upon bis shoul?
ders rests Ike rnuiu responsibility for
that wanton disregard of the plainest
sauitary rules which brought tho fever
upon us. Immediately utter the election
ho went to the North, where ho stays.
As for the city, bo leaves her, like a cast?
off mistress, to perish from the disenso
willoh bo has ?iven ber. These Radical
officials aro fioe-weulhor birds. They
will draw their pay while the sun shines,
but they flee like the wi ad at the first
note of danger. What do tho colored
voters, who (in fact) elected these meu
to o ilice, tin uk of their conduct now?
For disease is no respecter of persons.

TUB POTATO BLIGHT IN IRELAND.-It is
reported that tho potato blight has de?
veloped tonu alarming extent in Ireland,
and fears aro expressed that the crop
may be entirely ruined. If this should
happeu, it is not unlikely that another
fumiuc may devastate Ireland aud add
to the mitoy miseries of her unfortu?
nate people. British rule has ruined the
oom meroe, the manufactures, and the
agriculture of Ireland, and if a famine
occurs, bad government will bo almost
if not entirely to blame for it. Such a
calamity will- certainly intensify the an?
tagonism of the Irish to their English
tyrants, and will secure for them nu
amount of sympathy throughout;.?tho
world that their^nbortivo attempts at in?
surrection will never gain for them. . If
a famine does occur, and, as is not un?
likely, the cholera makes its appearance
at the same time, a repetition of the
terrible ?cenen now being enacted in
Persia may be expeoted by Englishmen
at their very doors, aud they may antici?
pate the indignation of the world for
their share in bringing about such a ca?
lamity.
THE LOUISIANA SUGAR CROP.-From
all parts of tho State we have very en?
couraging accounts of tho growing sugar
crop of Louisiana. The cane is iu
splendid condition and still improving.
The crop, ou tho whole, is in a better
condition than the most sanguino antici?
pated early in tho season, aud should tho
latter portion of tho year be favorablo
for cutting and grinding, our State will
turn outs crop something like those of
antebellum times. Wo do not think that
225,000 is a high estimate of the crop at
this time, though of course the contin?
gencies ol the fall must euler thc calcu?
lation so far 03 tho merchant is con
corned. If tho season continues as
favorable throughout as it has been thus
far, this great staple will be ro-instatod
iu its former position within a very few
years. We havo the capacity to produce
1,000,000, and these figures will sooner
or later be reached.

On Thursday, a fortnight ago, Abram

Alston returned without his companion.
On being interrogated as to what bad
