'NEETING.-Just as we were about closing our
form for "press," dispatch was brought in, Civ
ing the proceeding Of al enthusiastic indignation
meeting. which was held under the dam of
ONeil's Mill, on Saturday nightla<t, at 10 o'clock,
by The select fishes Of Bush river. A consider
able damper was thrown on the proceedings by
the heavy rain, but comfortable harmony pre-
vail, d. The dispatch was forwarded by way of
Scott's creek carly Sunday morning, but owing
to many dctcntons on the way by the 'small
fry, who each nibblcd and fnned itin an cxcnsa-
bic curiosity to discover the object of said meet
inr, it was caught out in the storm of Sunday
night and is so muddy and il!egbe that we can
not copy it pat in time for this paper. Next
week hope to lay it before our readers in full.
At hasty glance it is discovered, that the object
of this meeting was to take into consideration
the unhcard Of and unfair manner in which a
party Of 'Sandlappers" and "Tar-hcels, "so-callcd
in the proceedings, endcavored to draw them
out on Saturday afternoon last, besides various
other measures which admit Of reform. The Of
fccrs appointed were Mr.. Redhorse Chairman,
Mr.. White Perch, Secretary, and Ar. Blue Cat,
Treasurer.

This matter was imlly and anXiously discussed

make any wholesome changes appropriate to their
new condition. Various, plans were proposed,
and patiently and frankly examined. But such

Ls.-Distingushable and worthy Of
ty of late. We note only a few Of the prominent
characters Generals, Colonels QuartermasterS,
&C., among the things of the past, distinguish
ed arrivals at our hotel pass unEotccd; the thing
is played cut. Our attention is now drawn to
erratic individuals who don't stop at hotels, gents
of passage. here to-day somewhere else to-mor
row. Sharp, keen, knowing fellows some Of
them. Gift1mcn, with travelling jewelrY caravan
series, who full of the milk of human kindness
and actuated wholly by generous love, drop in
as it were from the clouds, open shop, display
their wares, and food the town with their elegant
articles. We are not surprised chat their Gus
tom is large and that they are appreciated, such
trinkets and valuablcs bought in any other way
would cost so much more. Some few Of our ex
changes are down on these gift men, and We
think it shame ; they are generous, nice, good
fellows, and bring the latest fashions along with
them too The man with the lat for instance,
such sight is rarely seen, it was the hat of all
hats. It's style will be adopted here as soon as a
Lii of them can be brought from the North. 1t
is said by maryland those who did not draw
prizes that the lucky individuals were victim
lied, that the gold was brass, and the silver pew
ter but we don't believe it, a miserable envy
suggests the idea. We don't patroniZe them
Oh, self, because we don't stand in need of any
iewelryiust now, but we advise other folks if they
want to, and have more money than will pay
their debts and support their families to 60 into
al! of these concerns, and get their money back.
If the man with the hat, or any other man OF the
same stripe, loses by. the operation who is to
blame? Not you. We wonder sometimes where
all these kind individuals come from, and il they
have any hidden design that we cannot fathom
Mr.. Smith now for instance, Mr.. Jones, and Mr..
Brown sends US tickets which call for handsome
watches, chains &C., somebody no doubt told
them we had none of these articles, and having
sympathy for the poor newspaper editor, propose
10 supply the deficiency. Who says it is nos
Kind Of them? Ill they arant is q dollar or t~o
to dctray crpenSeS. We did not send for these
articles for the reasons that we don't like to be
under obligation to John Smith, or any other
man, as objects as charity to wear cheap jewelry,
and that it might be taking advantage of poorer
men than ourselves; the very fact Of their want
ing two dollars is proof it; and then We don't
like the family Of Smiths, Jones and Browns.
We don't object though to others sending on or
going Tito such honest and sure games, il We do
let them alone,

Ju5ga E1iTiCh.

The Charleston NeocS in reviewing the late ac-
ton of Judge AIdrch in refusing to continue
Court, very justly remarks as follows:
'That it had been as well, perhaps, His Honor
had continued. The State is not SUI jHris upon
the question Of her fortune. Of necessity, she
must accept Of such conditions as existing power
may see proper to accord and, inasnuch as this
condition is not by her election, and as the excr-
else Of even the limited jurisdiction of the Civil
Courts, admitted BY authority, might have been
of interest to the country, it had been better,
perhaps, that the machinery of Law had been
kept in motion for whatever of good, even within
restricted limits, it might be able 10 accomplish.
Ii is not to be supposed that the course Of Judge
Aldrich will occasion feeling. There is Of course,
q common sentiment Of rcpugnancc to arbitrary
power and a sympathy, therefore, in the feeling
exhibited by His Honor. But the situation has
been accepted, frankly, Of which situation it is a
part that limited exercise CT civil jurisdiction
only is admitted to the Courts and accepting the
situation, it is beyond question permissible and
proper that We should accept it in its integrity,
and with all the conditions and limitations tha!
situation may imply.

An ODoRous CoMpARIsoS.-T venerable Les
lie Coombs, of Kentucky, thus alluded in pub
lie speech TO the proposition for social equality Of
whites and negroes:
"Othcr candidates may do as they please, but
so far as am concerned I will DO nothing to
weaken or divide those opposed to the r1onstrous
and unnatural doctrine rampant at Washington,
Of negro social and political equality: Gods
curse has stamped the negro with an ineffaceable
black skin and a wooliy head and in His pTov-
dence has kept him for six thousand years in
close proximity to other races, but always sH5or-
djuate-in mind and body, as we'll as in civiliza-
ton md refinement; and yet we have the spec
tacle now before US Of deliberate conspiracy in
the North to bring down Que favored race to the
negro level, in violation TO Gods law, and all
written history. The idea Of clega!i"g the odor-
Gus sons Of Africa to the Caucasian status, is
about as absurd as trying to perfume dog fennel
by tying it up in boquet with pinks and roses"

Civil Rights Bill.

The passage Of this bill over the President 8
veto becomes a law. 1t violates the constitution
and mcrges the element Of State rights into a
consolidation. The Grccnyille Nountaineer says {:
$50 far as the provisions Of the bill are con-
cerned, except that Of making the negro citi-
zen, it will not affect seriously the laws Of most
Of the Southern States. 1t simyly gives the ne
grocs the right ''to make and enforce contracts,
to sue and be sued, be parties and give evidence,
to inherit, purchase lease, sell, hold and convey
real and personal properly, and to full and eQua!
benefit Of all laws and proceedings for the securi-
" Of person and property, as are enjoyed by
white citizens" These rgh;sare row all secured
By the laws of South Carolina to the freedmen
and women. There ere very few criminal laws
of the State which apply to negroes, that do not
likewise apply to white persons, and our Lcgsla-
turc can make them apply when they do not. In
doing 50, no great harm would result.
The United States Courts in South Carolina
have tic appointment cf ali the Commissioners
and Agents to carry out the law under the direc-
ton and supervision Of the President. 1t is not
likely, therefore, that any great mischief will re-
suit from the CiSil Rights Bill, before it will be
repealed This VIC confidently expect the next
Congress will do, when the Southern members
get into Congress- It is very likely, toc that the
supreme Court will declare the law unconstlu-
tonal when brought bcforeuthcm This may be
done Immediately by one Of the Northern States
where they have laws prohibiting free negroes to
move into those States"

The CASE OF Mr. DAvI8-The Washington
correspondent Of the Philadelphia Ledger, whose
opinion seems to be c0ncurrcd in by the WASH
ington letter writer's generally, says:
The Supreme Court having adjourned, trials
by court martial having been abandoned, and
there being no present probability Of convicting
Davis before civil court, the President, 1t IS
freely rualored, has about concluded to order his
release on parole Mr. Stephens is reported to
have expressed the conviction tlat he would be
released" and as Mr. S. has irst held long in-
terview with the President it is not unlikely but
what he is foveshadowing the event.
In this connection will say tha. / most i'm
portant argument, covering eighty printed pages,
mas been received by the President from London,
in which are set forth the reasons why Davis cam
rot be convicted in any Court Of the crime Of
treason. The ground gene over dates f ON the
foundation of the GoScrnTent-iNcludes the
"RightS Of the States" as then underStood-the
action of New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia,
Massachusetts,, and the States in accepting the
Constitution, and the opinions Of Washington,
Fisher Anfes, Hamilton, Webster, Ellsworth,
Rufus King, Davie, Spencer, Madison, Jay, Ran
dolph, Franklin, Tench Cox James Wilscn, and
Chief Justice Mexican, Of Penn. The purport Of
the opinions Of these honorcd dead, as showing
the sovereignty Of the Ststes, and which the bar
F{ster who sends to the President the argument
gives in detail, may be summed up in therclnark
of Wilson III the Penn. Convention of 81.
8 "Upon the existence OF tie State Government,
depends the existence Of The Federal plan. The
supreme, absolute and uncomfortable power Is III
the people before they make Il Constitution, and
remains in them after it is made. #
n Ny position is that the absolute sovereignty
aerer Goes from tie people,"
