OUTLAWS.

II is a mercy to withhold power from those who
will but abuse its possession In South Carolina, for
instance exclusive of the freedmen, there are three
casses-the Loyal few but firm who kept their faith
through the dark and discouragng midnight Of
Secession-the Rebels who really repent their mis-
take and arc sincere in their profession of reaegance
and, lastly, a motley variety of men, of different
social grades, some educated and ignorant some
refined and some coarse, gentlemen and lOaers we'll
born and ow.born, who are united by common
hatred Of the Government which conquered and now
controls them, and who mean to fight on q small
scale for cause which they failed to successfully
defend upon large one. Gen. Sickes's report shows
that Law and Justice have not attained very firm
footholds in South Carolina-that crime is not yet
intimidated and violence not yet sbashed that
men of blood are still bold and busy and murderousy
meddlesome-that the peaceful and law.abiding still

Elsewhere will be found an interesting dispatch
from our special correspondent at Albany touching
the election for President Of the New-York Central
Railroad to-day. The contest is one Of great interest
not only to stockholders in the Central, but to every
merchant, manufacturer and consumer, in this State,
for the question at issue is whether this great railway
shall be run for the benefit Of the public, or for the
benefit Of the Democratic party, as hitherto. And
that includes Che question whether it shall be man.
aged so economically and honestly as to carry freight
and passengers at the lowest paying rates. or SO eI
trayaganty and cOrruptlY that trade shall be fet-
tered its stockholders taxed, and It's patrons plum.
dered in order to feed the political ambition or sup
port the political interests of partisan clique. II is
for the stockholders themselves TO say which sort of
management they prefer.

The President yesterday sent message to the
House in reply to resolution asking for information
concerning the pardon Of the Rebel Gen. j. l..
Pickett, who sanctioned the hanging of number Of
Union men of North Carolina. Gen. Holt recon-
mended the arrest of Pickett but the Secretary
of War; in letter to the President, deemed il
preferable to wait for decision Of the Supreme
Court. Gen. Pickett admits the main charges, but
sets forth that the men hung deserters from the
Southern army, and hung as such. Gen. Grant
recommends Pickett to the clemency of the President,
but we doubt whether the public verdict upon these
murders will agree with the official exculpaton.
