In THE HOLY LAND.-A band of
Plym outh Rock adventurers, embrac-
ing men, women and children, 1JG
IN number, have emigrated to the
Holy Lapd, taking with them build
ing material fora small village. They
were kindly received by the Turkish
Government, an order being issued
that they should land their goods free
of duty. Having thus sought and
occupied the hospitality of strangers,
their next step is to write Lack to
their friends in this country, in the
following characteristic style:
The air is generally clear and mild.
Everything is lovely out the natives,
who are indolent, treacherous, and
bloody. Of the various races who
curse the land with their presence,
the Turks are the least vicious, but
their bigotry is SO intense, and their
assumption Of superiority so offen-a
sive, that even they are more to be
feared than trusted. The mischief
which the Greeks, Arabs Egyptians
and others perpetrate for plunder,
the Turks perpetrate in blind zeal for
religion. Surrounded by such neigh
bors, colonists will have hard work to
protect themselves.

Debating Terms.


1t is astonishing that some of the
Northern journals-and journals of
some standing, too-should persist
emily misrepresent the people of the
South. For instance, the New York
Times, in a leading editorial, asks the
following question: sShall the van
quished South dictate terms?'
Now, the Times knows, as well as
any journal in the country, that. the
Southern States, since the days their
armies surrendered to Grant and
Sherman, have never, on any occa-
sion, pretended to dictate any terms
for their restoration to the Union.
They were directed by the President
OF the United States, through their
Provisional Governors, to call con-
ventions of the people; to ratify the
abolition of slavery; to elect members
to the Legislature and to Congress,
and appoint United States Senators.
They did all this without q murmur,
but the promised restoration never
came. They have enacted laws giving
equal rights to the freedmen in their
courts; and, after they have done all
this, a further exaction of giving the
negro suffrage is demanded, and that,
too, without any assurance whatever
that they should be admitted to Con-
gress, were they to do so.
This Is the record, and we ask the
Times at what juncture or in what
portion of all this action has the
South attempted to dictate terms?
That she will refuse the dishonoring
terms, not only proposed, but threat
ened to be forced upon her by the
last radical Congress, there is little
doubt; but this is a different thing
from debating terms; and it is stupid
ard silly for any journal to accuse
the South, in her present helpless
condition, of debating terms, either
as to restoration, reconstruction, her
own status, or any other question
affecting her political condition. She
cares little for these things now-she
is content to be let alone. One
thing, however, we -soberly believe
she has determined upon, and that
is not to dishonor herself, even at the
risk of confiscation and perpetual
disfranchisement. She stands upon
the Constitution of the fathers of the
republic, and if she has to go down,
she will do SO clinging to it to the
last gasp.
The North, in such an event, may
rest assured, that when the South is
crushed out for her devotion to the
Constitution, the republic founded
by Washington cannot long survive
the wreck, and constitutional liberty
will be thing of the past. The
North cannot escape such a general
crash, and her people will find them
selves the subjects of despotism, as
absolute and more heartless than any
which has disgraced the annals of
history.

The Next Congress.

Although the returns of the late
elections come in quite slowly, the
complexion of the next Congress can
almost be ascertained with certainty.
The following will be the result:
The daily phoenix. [volume] (Columbia, S.C.) 1865-1878, 1866-11-13


THAT'S So.-A correspondent of
the Chronicle and Sentinel, discussing
the most feasible mode Of obtaining
release from the general ani oppres-
sive burden of debt, says truly:
''The best and srrest way to get
relief is for every able bodied man to
go to work at something; and, by in
dustry, each and every family will be
relieved. Debts can be paid verv
fast with the present high prices of
farming products, and most men can
pay one-fourth their indebtedness
this winter, even with one-third of a
cotton crop; and, where they cannot,
and have done the best they could.
they will not be sued.
MANY debts should be reduced
heavily. The people have lost their
slaves, and much of other property,
and every creditor should feel willing
to give up a part of their claims; but
these things should be by mutual
consent of parties.
81 am surprised to, see so many
men want to hold on to large bodies
of land, and remain in debt, too.
Better give their creditors part of the
land and rid themselves of debt; for
there is nothing so depressing to
mans spirits as to be in debt. Small
farms, with plenty of guano and good
farming implements, are much more
profitable, with less risk and more
satisfaction.
"Let the negro go, for he will not
work on farm at best. The more
OF them on q farm, the less is made
in proportion to expenses. The
sooner we get clear of them, the bet
ter for us.

NOT ENOUGH TO DO ANY HAKs1

NOT ENOUGH TO DO ANY HAKM.- =
The New York Tribune, whose pet
slogan IS universal amnesty and uni
versal suffrage, in referring to the
electlon IN Massachusetts, says:
''A few copperheads and n few no.
groes are elected to the Lecislatnre
but not enough of either to do any ~,
harm" AS
Does the Tribune mean to admit
that possible harm can come Of ;+s
doctrine of negro equality? If so.
1T should change its tune on the suf,
trage question.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN?-In asking
this question, the Baltimore Trans
cript goes on to say that the South is,
at this moment, in the most profound
quiet and reposc. There is not n
rebel In arms; there is not United
States soldier necessary to preserve
order in any part Of the Southern
States; there is absolutely not ripple
left to show where the great ship of
the Confederacy sunk, and sunk for
ever. Yet, at radical meetings, the
proposition to march slaughtering,
burning and contiscating columns
INTO this peaceful and un1esisting
South, is received with uproarious
applause. In the name of humanity,
justice, civilization, what does all
this mean?

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT PosT-
oNED.-The elections yesterday set
tied one point conclusively, at least
ror some time to come-the constitu-
tlonal amendment will not be adopt
ed. Neither the Legislature of Mary
land nor Delaware will sanction it.
These, with Kentucky and the ten
excluded States, make thirteen op-
posed to it. AS it requires three
fourths of the States, the adoption or
rejection of the amendment is NOW
likely to be the rallying ground of
political parties for the next cam
paign, and it is hardly possible that
the radicals will be able to create an
other wave of popular. feeling which
Will blind the Judgment of the peo-
pie by Introducing extraneous issues.
We are likely to have thorough dis
cusslon and Il perfect understanding
on all sides of the nature of that
amendment and of the principles in
volved IN its adoption. The amend
ment makes so sweeping Il change as
to Justly entitlc it to be called revo-
lutlonary. Yet, if the people are
really bent on its adoption, after Il
thorough understanding of its cha
racter, we can only acquiesce, while
demurring to the wisdom of their
course. But what we have always
strongly protested against, and shall
to the bitter end, is the effort to make
its adoption the condition for the
exercise of their undoubted rights on
the part of any section of the coun-
try. That it is to make the rejection
of changes of the organic law puni-
tive, is to introduce style of punish
ment unknown to the law and the
Constitution, and to set precedent
franght with n,ischief.
We believe soberly, that the result
of the late elections is not verdict
IN favor of the constitutional amend
ment. We believe that the thinking
men of the country arc not prepared
to make such an inroad as it proposes
on the independence of the States.
We believe that the feeling of the
people against the leaders Of the
rebellion has been adroitly played
upon to secure Il triumph that can
not possibly be maintained. So be-
lleving, we shall spare no pains to
make clear the consequences of the
adoption OF such revolutionary
change, and shall calmly await the
revision of this award, which is
bound, in our Judgment, to lead to
the reversal of the majorities over
which our radical friends now so
loudly exult. National Mtelligencer.

OUTRAGEs IN TEX As.-The radical
papers contain nun erous reports Of
outrages on Union men in Texas.
Hero is the other side of the picture,
from the Austin Gazette, embracin q
only such incidents as have come
within the knowledge of tho editor
of that paper:
In the County of Washington. the
town Of Brenham was deliberately set
on fire by United States so.
and large amount of property IL
stroyed.
In Victoria, Mr. William Walker
was murdered by two negro soldiers,
for which they have been indicted,
but have not been given up to the
sheriff, who was forbidden to arrest
them. In the samo County, ont
RACES vere committed by the negro
soldiers Gu two children of the town
of Victoria, and they were upheld in
their conduct by Capt Spaulding, the
commanding officer
In Grayson County, where Col.
Albert is IN command, indictments
for aggravated assaults and robbery
could not be enforced on account of
military intervention.
In the County Of Caldwell, the re-
cords of the County have been forci-
bly, seized and mutilated by military
authority.
In Bell County, upon the reprcsen-
tatlOn of q person of notoriOuSly bad
character, Il party of soldiers were
sent under his guidance, and two
worthy and respectable citizens of
that County were arrested in the
night, torn from their homes, and
after being carried short distance,
while under special guard, were deli
berately shot by their accuser, Lind
ley, who had on the United States
uniform, and was permitted to es-
cape. 1t is said that Lieut.. Carpen-
ter, who was in command of the party.
and Lindley, have both been inClict-
ed, but no arrests of any in the mill
tary service are permitted, and civil
officers have been forbidden to issue
processes
The peace proclamation of the
PRESIDENT seems to be ignored in
Texas; why, we cannot understand.

all such we commend it. The soldier him

every county, who will attend to the col
