suspENsIoN or THE LAWS.

The National Inteiigmcsr has diguiled and
well prepared article in its issue of Tuesday, in
regard to the propriety of suspending all the
federal laws which cannot be enforced in South
Carolina, at the present time. The lntethgsnefT
advocates this step as preventive OF collision,
which, the editor thinks must otherwise neces-
sarily ensue, if the President shall be compelled
to enforce those laws in the disturbed and excited
state Of feeling which now prevails at Charles
ton. In reference to the revenue laws the editor
obserges:-
When We consider that The collection of the Federal
revenues iu South carfna entails a. ,hg tst assd
2ss winch IN f present. eoGdiiiOn OF The Treasury
should be very weghty) combine with those Of admnis
tve prudence u advise suspension Of so much Of the
Of March 3 1893 for the collection Of duties On i'm
ports tonnage makes Georgetown. Charieson, and
Beaufort in South Carolina, ports Of entry The repeal
or suspension Of the thirteenth and other sections Of this
act so far as relates South Caroua would have for
It's effect to relieve the President from the duty of collect
ing the fevenues in those ports and would az the same
time relieve South Carolina from what she regards the
odious domination OF Federal laws. The legal effect o
such on the part ofthe Federal Government would
be that any foreign vessel should thereafter enter
attempt enter these ports win dutiabe goods sht
would be subject to seizure by our revenue cutters and
forfeiture under laws. Aud II the elect OF such lia
by should be to place South Carolina with regard e
foreign nations In state of commercial isolation, IL would
be nothing more than the natural aud inevitable cpnse
quenee of the position she has assumed In the eye
under the public Of the civilized world II could
be properly construed into act OF hostility the par
Of the Federal Government which cannot reasonably b.
expected to allow South Carolina all the convenience
Of our laws while she refuses 10 acknowledge the author

Of that State they do not resent the necessity unde
which they placed to respect Professionally the posa

however, that the Postmaster Of Charleston in reply to
letter from the Postmaster General, states that he s
considers himself holding his office under the Goverr
ment the United States and Will account to the Unite
States for all monies coming into his hands Potmaate
it may be held that the considerations OF public dii
nifty do not call for repeal suspension Of the post
ser vice In South carolina. To withhold from her peop
the benefit of the Federal laws which she acknowledge

OEE PATRIOTIC LADY IN CHARLEsToE.-A letter
from Charleston, published in the New York
World, says that the table upon which the Dec
larstiOn Of Independence Of the United States
was signed is now in possession of lady in that
city. On the goth, she was urged by the Seoes-
sionists to permit them to use it for the signing
oftheir Declaration. The lady told the Com
mittee who made the request, that rather than
have the Ordinance Of Secession signed thereon,
she would burn the table to ashes.

Rer. Dr.. Boardman.

He thought that great part Of the evils that now be-
set the country from irresponsible men being cho
sen to office. This he thought depended upon the fact
that many under the idea OF religion, stayed away from
the polls hie many who did vote ought to be restrain
ed HIS did Ot like to men who could scarcely ae
uaie word OF the English Language, who could nell
her read OF write walk up to the polls and deposit their
ballots Men, too ofen chosen to ONCE, not
count Of their for the post but because they
convenient they had perhaps reated the crowd often
ar or could command the largest political influence
Thus that men, Christians loving God thrown
out aud irresponsible chosen to l the high places
under the government
lie also took strong ground against Aboitionism and
Secession and said that much Of the present agitation
was due 10 partisan lectures and party presses II is the
desire for notorey IN the public papers that induces
many man to say what he otherwise would not say aud
II the papers would not publish such ery hArafuea,
the troubles would bein some degree layed.
In the first place the Doctor don't like to see
