South Carolina.

For thirty years South Carolina has been
the leader of Southern thought. Her.opin-
ions have not been commonly to our liking
but we have admired the ability and cour-
age with which she has maintained them.
Nor is she now disposed to abiicate her
leadership. In some particulars she has a.
ready formed just estimate of the actual
situation, aud is adapting herself to the new
order of affairs. OF this nature is a law OF
her Legislature making all people equal be-
fore the laws, irrespective Of color. While
the Northern Democracy is still grovelling
in the dirt, basing all hopes of recovering
power upon coase appeals to brutal passions
and preiudices, South Carolina rises from
the mire in which she sat, and nohly DEGREES
that the blacks shall have the full protec-
ton of the laws BY this step she places
herself at the head of the new Southern
movement, and if she shall have the cour-
age to go on will maintain benefcently her
old pre- eminence.

AN INFAMOUS ACT BY THE TEXAS LEG
IsLATURE.-But few weeks since the Leg
islature of Texas passed, through both
Houses, a bill providing for the removal of
the Federal dead to a Potters Field The
cause assigned for this act, indorsed on the
bill and placed Oh record, and on the statute
books of the State, was that the vile dust
of the Yankees might not be permitted to
contaminate the dust of brave Confederate
soldiers of the State This bill was push
ed through both Houses in the short space
of two hours, and after short and bitter
speeches in favor Of the resolution.

A bad custom must not plead IT'S age as a
reason for longer life and larger growth.
Presidential interference with Congress, al
ways an evil, is to-day grown up to startling
proportions. And therefore, even though
| approved the Presidents policy as wiser
than that of Congress lin fact, they are very
nearly the same,) | should by my vote uv-
hold Congress-, because in my Judgment the
President errs grieyously when he accounts
himself in any sense representive OF the
people, and responsible for policy. By
the Constitution President is required to
execute the laws of Congress- aud defend
the Constitution. If he does more, he is
acting unconstitutionally. Congress alone,
and not the President, represents the peo-
pie and makes laws and establishes policies.

SHOOTING A NEGRO FOR SPoRT-A cor
respondent informs the Memphis P"st that
three men-two whites and negro-resid-
ing near Holly Springs, Mississippi, were
recently returning from Memphis They
stopped for dinner at bridge on Cold Wa
ter Creek, when the white men ordered the
negro to bring them some water. While he
was STOPPING down to dip mp some water
they fired upon him, wouuding him, butnot
SO seriously as to prevent his getting into
the woods and making his way to some
neighbors, to whom he told his tale, the facts
of which have since been corroborated. The
negro is still living, and has endeavored to
obtain warrant for the arrest of the men
who fired upon him, but had not succeeded
at last accounts. The white men are his
near neighbors, and belong to the chiv-
airy of that section of the country. They
claim to have fired upon the negro in sport,
as mere matter of pastime.

John Bull appears to be warming up
against the Spanish Government. The
Secretary of State has just dispatched a
missive to the court of Spain, which will
perhaps make Signor Espagnoli open his
eyes. 1t appears that a vessel belonging to
a British merchant was, while sailing on
her voyage from Leith, in Scotland to Rio
yaneiro, under English colors, taken to Ca
diz as prize and that the ship and her
crew are still detained at that port as pris-
oners of war, and refused all communication
with the English Consul. In this matter
the English Government has taken prompt
measures. Lord Stanley, il is asserted, has
demanded 100000 damages for Illegal de-
tention of the vessel, besides an apology for
the insult to the flag, and the surrender of
the ship.

An Incident.-Fourth of July brings
! many strange people to town. During
the delivery Of the Grafton we were
standing near the Car Of Liberty, con-
tanning the thirty-six little girls, repre-
senting the States Of the Union. A
rather pretty little girl stood under the
wagon having gone there for protection
from the sun. We remarked to some
ladies there was State seeking admit
lance, pointing to the little girl under
the wagon. A cadaverous specimen of
the female gender, probably the natural
parent of the excluded State, immedi-
ately confronted US, savagciy displayed
her discolored teeth, and with violent
: mods of her head, exclaimed with much
, evident ill-feeling, two or three times
: over, She is admitted, Sir! She is adj
mitted!" Then, pointing her long
nose toward the armament, she fell
back a few PAGES as if to be removed
from some contamination. Not being
aware Of having giving the sensitive
creature any cause for offence, we saw
no occasion for making any apology,
and therefore made none, nor took any
notice Of the words that had escaped
from the unruly tongue of the unhappy
minded, sadly -soured, and evidently gar
rulous piece of wonaanhoed. She SEEM
ed disappointed with her success, and
sesght the first opportunity to leek us
out of counteRaRoe. That is q gamo
we are pretty good at, and being little
stung by her repeated Insults, we set
tied our eyes open hers, and for two
minutes or 50 there is n.s question but
that we two never to be one let it be
hoped) presepted q most ridiculous ap-
pearanee. She gave tup, finally, as a
bad job, and directed her attention to
her darling little girl and those wi. o.n
unfortunately for them, we dare say, J
she knew more of than she knew Of US.

| Bold Attens3Dt at Horse Sfcdliny-Ho
Pursuit Thieves Leave Their Booty
and Fce.-Mr. III. p. Sloan furnishes
us the following interesting item of
news: .s a. .y'
On Tuesday evening of this week, at
early dusk, a bold attempt was made to
steal a valuable span of mares owned
by Mr.. Houghtelling, who lives about
three miles southwest of town. Mr..
III. owns two spans, and was away at
the time with one span. The other,
one of them having colt, were pastur-
ing on the prairie, which is open near
to the house. Mrs. Houghtelling OBJ
served from the house man ride very
rapidly across the prairie, and spoke to
her son and asked who it could be rid
ing at such speed. The young man
hastily stepped out of the door, and
saw that the animals were missing
which he left but few minutes before
outside of the bars. He immediately
dispatched. a younger brother to the
/ nearest neighbor, IL. p. Sloan's, for
horses to ride in pursuit, and in the
meantime loaded his rifle and started
on foot. Mr.. Sloan's son and young
man present mounted each horse and
with siX-shooter well charged, and
with the boy, made full speed to the
scene of action. They had not Travelled
far until one Of the mares met them on
her return, heated and putting. The
pursuit was promptly kept up for a
mile or two, when they met the other
mare returning with her colt and two
or three other colts which were in the
habit of pasturing together. 1t was
now so dark that observation could ex.
tend but short distance, and the boys
were unable to make any discoveries
of the thieves. 1t appeared evident
that the colts had been some hindrance
and annoyance to their progress, and
they undoubtedly heard or discovered
that they were closely pursued and
abandoned the animals and concealed
themselves in the darkness by lying
in the prairie grass. ......... -....-.
