ARsTocRACY IN THE UNITED STATES. In an
editorial notice of the death Of VIM. T. Otis,
much esteemed citizen of Boston, published
in the Courier OF that city, the following
passage occurred:
Mr. Otis was possessed of manly and
graceful form, a handsome aud expressive
face, aud possessed those amiable traits of
character and pleasing manners, which, in
spite of his being a scion of the aristOcracy,
made him immensely popular with the mass
es-he freely and unostentatiously mingling
with all ranks, apparently unconscious or in
different to the adventitious circumstance OF
honorable birth. lie had only six weeks be
fore manifested this spirit by uniting in mar
riage with Miss -, young lady received
into, though hardly belonging to. the aristo-
cratic circles, and against which union it
was reported that the aristocratic scruples OF
some Of his relatives had been pressed in
vain.
This passage excited the ire of the Boston
Evening Transcript Which. after quoting and
designating it as disgusting snobism, make:
the following comments:
This is not quotation from Mr.. Titmarsh,
the London lackey, immortaized by Thacke-
ray, but it is the veritable language of wri-
ter supposed to be an American and Repub
ilcan. "a scion of the aristocracy p "Hon

A ry! Why. the young lady alluded TO would
have added honor and dignity to any family
IN the land. So far from its indicating any
indifference "to the adveutitious circumstan
ees OF honorable birth" in any gentleman to
seek such an alliance, Mr. D. was seeking
honor In the act, and making himself the en-.

The Captured Afrioans-0pposition to
Law.

Considerable interest seems 10 be felt in
Charleston and elsewhere in the State up
on the subject Of the captured Africans,
alluded to by us last week and in reference
to whom an interesting article will be found
in this paper, credited to the Charleston
NeUS We alluded last week 10 the fact
that n correspondent OF the Charleston
Mercury had suggested that these Africans
be KEEP. here, aad not sent back in obedience
TO the commands of tie United States laws
IN 2uck cases provided. We find that the
aeHtim5Lt expressed by IBIS correspondent
is a type of a'iarge feeling manifest 10 Char.
lesion and other portions Of the Stale, and
we infer from certain portions Of the arti.
Gle from the Ne,os that it is even mooted to
take these Africans by force or stratagem
cut Of tho charge Of those in whose legal
keeping they me.
First an attempt was made to get them
into the custody of the authorities Of this
State, by virtue Of an Act Of our Legisla-
ture passed in 1885, prescribing certain reg
ulaiions in cases where free persons Of COL
or are brought to our State. The Sheriff
Of Charleston, upon regular inform alton
chat these negroes were in the city, contra
ry to this Act, addressed note to the At
torney General, asking his advice as TO his
Cthe Skerif's) duty in the premises. The
Attorney General returned his opinion to
Tie effect that lie case was without the Act
aad the latter had not been violated. The

tor, w. B. Whaley, Esqr., who thought the
negroes were properly within the jurisdic-
ton of this Slate, addressed rotc to the
United States Marshal, demanding a surreh
der Of them. The Marshal of course reiu-
sed, being satisfied of his proper course and
sustained by the highest acting legal au-
thority in the State. j. is said tha. the
Sheriff, after this, in view of the difficulties
in the way, concluded to waive what he re-
garded as his right and duty and abandone
the design Of getting the negroes into pos
session.
We are TO infer that the Sheriff was sus-
tanned in this measure Dy large number OF
the Citizens of Charleston and the motive
doubtless was to get these Africans into
the custody of the local authorities, with
the expectation that THO local sympathy IN
favor of the revival of the slave trade
would ensure their being kept among us.
This disposition 10 violate law of the
land is as hunlia;ing rs it is unusual in
South Carolina. We have ever been law
abiding people, and when an officer of the
United States in Massachusetts had to be
protected in the discharge Of his duty by
federal troops, no people were more vehc,
ment than we in our denunciaticns of the
lawless spirit by which he was assailed-
w III we now follow in the course of Mas.
sachusetts and subject ourselves TO the
scorn and contempt of our sister States ?
1t is not our place to consider in this con
necton whether it is n good or bad law,
prescribing that captured Africans be taken
out of the country lit should be enough
for all good citizens to know that il Is n
law of the land to ensure for it due re-
spect and obedience. If the law itself is
objectionable, let the objections DC known
III no effort to have it repealed and no. by
an open disregard of it while it remains n
law. This we are persuaded is the true
sentiment Of South Carolina, and the de.
monstrations that have been made to the
contrary will meet with no sympathy from
The people at large.
