Of Lexington District, E.rt,'o Term,
July, 1866.
We furthermore, seeing the dis
tressed condition of our country, the
destltution Of its citizens and the ruin
now threatening them, most earnestly
recommend to our fellow-citizcns to
forbear the institution of suits for
debts against their debtors. In max
ing this recommendation to the pco-
pie, We do it laying aside all personal
considerations, and from motives
purely and entirely devoted to the
good and interests of our fellow
citizens. (Signed,)

Restoration.

Restoration.
Weare highly gratified to observe
the unanimitys sof. the people Of South
Carolina in responding to the call for
National Union Convention. They
were the frstpeople to ':rebel," when
they thought their rights encroached
upon, and it is eminently proper they
should, be the first, to return to the
Union, after having referred their
cause to the arbitrament of arms and
sustainede defeat. Loyal and true
as they were to their own cause, they
are not less SO to-day to the Union.
Wherever their faith is plighted, there
viii they be found to redeem it..
Our District meeting has selected
very eble and competent gentlemen
to represent the people of Richland
in the Convention. 70 that Conven-
ton is con6ded high trust-one of
the most important, perhaps, that
has ever been given to the people of
the State; and we hope they win
exercise their discretionary powers
with judgment. We conceive it to
be in bad taste tonominate any gen.
tlemen to the Ph Phhiiiiadelphia ccrven-
tion, but would suggest that our
Senator'S and Representatives. elect to
the Congress of the United States
are probably the best men We could
select as one-haf of our representa-
tlves in that body. The others should
be chosen from our most experienced
men, without regard to their antece-
dents in public life. We hope that
such men as Gov. Orr, ex-Gov. Perry,
Gen: Wade Hampton and ex-Gov.
Pickens will be called to represent
the State at large, and that the Con-
greszonal Districts, besides their inn
mediate representatives, will select
men of q similar status to represent
their people.

The CHoLEKA RAGING IN New YoRK
The Commercial -4lre,1iser, of Fri
day says the facts show conclusively
that cholera is now. raging in certain.
portions of the city, and it is beyond
doubt that the epidemic is pursuing
ITS lncipient steps, beginning in re-
glons most favorably disposed for its
Development The facts relative to
the number Of cases on Hart's Island
are deemed so appalling that publicity
is denied. Surgeon Calhoun. of that
post, has died of cholera, and an able
corps of physicians have been sent
70 that island, and also to Governors
Island. 200 recruits, recently sent
from Hart's Island for tie army in
Georgia, had the cholera to break out
among them before reaching Savan-
nah. three dying before arriving at
Iybec Island Several additional
cases are reported in the city to- dav.
The New York Times. of Saturday.
says:
The metropolitan Board of Health
held secret session, yesterday, and
are supposed to have discussed the
evident and alarming increase of
cholera in New York and Brooklvn,
particularly in the twelfth ward of
the latter city. The bulletin boards
IN the offices of the Board in New
York and Brooklyn reported only six
authenticated cases in this city, and
eleven eases ut Red Hook Point. in
brooklyn; but telegraphic and other
,lnauthentlcated reports run the num-
Der up score higher than the official
1lgnres, In View OF the existing peril,
and of the alleged hostility of the
brooklyn City Government to any
measure which the Board of Health
proposes fe the shielding of the city
from pestllence. the Board has au-
thorlzct DIR. Crane. Mr.. Bergen and
Dr. Smith to take in hand the work
OF cleansing the sixth and twelfth
wards of Brooklyn. and the sum OF
o,oNi has been placed at their dis
posal for Immediate use.

We have had various opportunities
to comment upon the want OF deco
rum III the present Congress. Neither
the high official station OF the Prosi-
dent nor the courtesy due to mem
bers from their colleagues on The floor
of the House have had anv weight in
the regulation of the conduct of those
parties who, from their positions, are
supposed to be gentlemen. We have
been compelled to record abusive
language III the halls of Congress and
violent conduct outside following
harsh words used in debate, as in the
recent case of Rosseau aud Grinnell.
The President has been spoken Of in
language which would be held as de-
grading to the lowest assembly of
bar-room politicians; but the manner
IN which the veto of the Ereedmen's 5
Bureau bill was received Oh Monday,
exceeded anything which Congress
has yet done in violation Of ali eti-
quette and decency. We need not
recall the facts rs published in our
columns yesterday. 1t is enough that
we condemn the whole PROCEEDINGS
ms undignified and disgraceful.

IHE BURNING WEATHER

bic IN after times us the longest and
hottest term known to our local his

warm weather for long period at a
time, and some days in every year
are rs hot us any known near the tro-
PICS, but never have we had such

as that which, we trust, ended yester-

palllng. There is nothing like it

Our Present Status.

says:
If there was any disposition on the
part of the Southern people to op-
press and persecute negroes, refugees
and so-called ''true loyal Union men"
% proposition which we utterly
deny-it would be found very difficult
to force justice out of us. General
Grants recent military order, which
would seem to contemplate such n
course, is to be deeply regretted, as
1t will naturally have an opposite
effect from that intended. The great
error of some of the Federal authori-
ties, military and civil, consists in tho
belief that the sword is cure for
every evil--a panacea for all moral,
social and political disorders. No
graver or more serious mistake was
ever committed than the formation of
such an opinion and the exercise of
correspondent action under it,
Is it to be supposed that Southern
magistfates, courts and juries are to
be brew-beaten and driven to the
discharge of their sacred duties as
the ministers of law and justice by
lntimidating swords and bayonets?
Why commit the farce Of q restora-
tion of civil courts, if they are to be
lnterfered with at all times upon the
most fiimsy pretexts, and if they are
powerless to protect our citizens from
arbitrary arrest and imprisonment?
! We wish to- see harmony and good
feeling between our people and those
of the North, but this can never be.
Ii the very tribunals which they
themselves have permitted to be again
set up are not to be respected. Our
magistrates, judges and jurors are
sworn to the discharge Of their duty,
and they respect oaths as much as the
people OF any other portion of the
world. 1t is wrong in principle and
mlschlevous in practice to attempt to
| coerce them by the arrest and detcn-
ton of parties whom MeY have not
deemed worthy of punishment.
The recent case of Mr.. J. H. Keene.
Northern man, who was arrested
and brought to Richmond, few davs
since, under Gen. Grants last order.
! is an illustration of the correctness Of
our views. This man was arrested
| because tue justice i'll Fredericksburg
rei''sedto entertain the complaint Of
a negro who, it appeared, was the
hrst aggrcssor, and who committed
perjury i'll making his statement.
How, we ask, is the administration of
justice to be compelled by the prick
OF the bayonet OF point of the sword?
Shall every magistrate be presumed
! TO bo 1iS OOpSt onJ f,1c, H., l. =, 4,,,I
when vile negro makes Il complaint
against him? Believe us, the civil
authorities know their duties better
! than the military can instruct them,
and are not inferior to courts mar

gencc and integrity.

On Tuesday last, three brothers
named Mead, living at Lewisborough,
" estchester County, New York, were
suttocated by the foul air of m old
we'll, on the farm of one of them. One
of the brothers in attempting to draw
water from it, had occasion to descend
and was suffocated. Another brother
attempted to rescue him and was also
sutfocated, and third brother, in
the same attempt, met his death in
the same manner.
