columns of our paper, published only an abstract
It's contents. The Charleston Mercury thus speaks
Of the message
80. TaE Presidents zero MESSAGE We publish
this morning the Message of President Pierce
turning with his objections the French Spolation
bill. We have read it with care, and it seems to
US an unanswerable vindcation Of the position Of
the President, that the United States owes no com
pepsation to the claimants under this bill. We
have not often met with so thorough sitting OF
contested question as this Message affords and the
grounds OF the Presidents decision SO clearly
set FORTH and conclusisey sustained, that we do
not see how these claims can ever hereafter reap
pear with any hold upon TIE public approval
In saying this we impute nothing against the
claimants. The losses were real, and the sufferers
are entitled 10 the most respectful commlsseratlon
In this matter of sympathy, however, 1t must not
be forgotten that there are different classes who
have very unequal claims to it. Insurance Com
panies who received the premiums on war policies
during the troubles with France in 1889 do not
call for any special consideration and these form
considerable item in the list Next come specu-
lators, who have bought up, 'for song" tie
claims Of real sufferers, on the chance of working
bill through Congress. These two classes, we
are assured embrace the great body of the Northern
claims embraced in the provisions of the bill.
AT the South we have reason to think it is gen.
orally different At any rate. in South Carolina,
as far as we have heard the claims are represented
by the heirs of the actual sufferers and therefore
appear in light that challenges the respect and
sympathy of al. We need not say, that if it couli
have been done, consistently with any rnle of put-
lie law, we should have reoiced in the success Of
their application. But it seems to us, that the
Message of President Pierce is conclusive on these
points: lst, that the United States never released
France from the obligation to pay any just claim:
in consideration of any general advantage to them
selves; I'd that all the claims which were admitted
to be just, were provided for and paid under th'
Convention of 1903; and, finally, that other claim
ants were never debarred by any act of the U. S.
from prosecuting their claims before the French
authorities. These conclusions seem TO US clea
: and indsputable and they cover the whole groun(
!, of controversy.

KNOW-NOTHING BIGOTRY.


MrssRs. EDIToRs Perhaps you would like to
know something ofa know-nothing society $500
years ago If you will look to 23d chapter Of Acts
and 18th verse, &C., you will there find as follows
Sand when it was day, certain of the Jews
bound themselves under curse, saying they would
neither eat nor drink until they had killed Paul /;
and there were more than forty who made this
conspiracy and they came to the Chief Priests and
Elders and said, we have bound ourselves under
great curse that we will eat nothing until we have
slain Paul"
If the above conspiracy is not fair sample OF
religious intolerance what isit? And in the nlne-
teenth century to know that ministers and probes
sors of religion will enter into secret consequences
against men who are their fellows, and also who
are members of the same communion, sitting down
at the same table of the Sluiourf Is it, indeed
