THE WHITE MANS GOVERNMENT. -
In three districts of South Carolina, the
number of white people. by the census of
1860, was 10000, and that of the blacks
223,0 ,000 The number of voters, all white,
was l9, 400. These districts had three mem
bers of Congress and three Presidential E.
lectors.' One would be their number if it
was strictly white mans Government
But as the South deDended for its political
status on the darkies, it must have a repre-
sentation of them in Congress- and in Pres
ldential elections. One of the three in the
above districts represented the white popu-
lation and two stood in Congress for the ne
groes. A white .man Government should
have things fixed in different way.

The main question involved in tho
discussion OF tho subject, was as to tho
validity Of an election held in due form,
without corruption or fraud, when one

troversy was the following:

This body appears to have been de-
voted to speech, making for many days
past, without coming to any definite
action upon any important measure,
excepting the bill in relation to the
Freedmep's s Bureau, which has passed
both Houses, and is in the bands OF the
President. The consideration Of pro
posed Constitutional amendments il

necessary degroe--in our opinion. The
extreme and determined diversity Of
sentiment which has been manifested
as to the character Of amendments dc

that no further progress in that dircc

that It is the duty OF Congress to turI

these he presents u powerful array,

a candid and patriotic spirit. Tho
Union members Of Congress will do
