The EFFECT OF THE STEVENS
AMENDMENT. New York World,
in the following article, takes exactly
the ground assumed in the Dispatch
of Friday last. We are fearful that
the radicals will devise some method
of depriving us of the right which
the amendment comedies to us of re-
gulating suffrage according to our
own notions. We quote from the
World:
Nothing could be easier than for
the States it attempts to control to
render it practically null. The whole
energy of the amendment lies in this
provision: that whenever the elective
franchise shall be denied or abridged
in any State, on account of race or
color, all persons of such race or
color shall be excluded from the basis
of representation. The Southern
State would only have to declare
first, that all persons now enjoying
the elective franchise should continue
to exercise it; and, secondly, that all
persons hereafter admitted to it
should be admitted on a prescribed
,.I SuuC''IloIlai or properly quanncat1On.
These conditions would, in no re-
spect, make the right of suffrage de-
pendent 'on race or COLOR for the
first distinction would discriminate
only between the present possessors
and future candidates, without regard
to race or color; and the second Sup
posing the qualification to be educa-
tionaD would be simply between
those who can read and write and
those who cannot, without reference
to race or color. But it would prac-
tically exclude the great majority of
adult negroes, and q large proportion
of those Of the rising ggeneration. The
political control would accordingly
remain for this generation, at least, J
as completely in the white race as if
no such amendment were passed"

AFFAIRS IN MEx1co.-Cortina left

Gen. Escobedo, with his entire

Gen. Canales, with small force. has

Escobedo are at open variance.
The Ranehero says that Canales and

An English, a French and Spanish

The Fenian excitement is on the
increase in Canada, impelled by the
fear that the way to the freedom
of Ireland by the preliminary inva-
sion of Canada is the fixed policy of
the leaders in the movement. The
Canadian Fenians have issued an ad-
dress denouncing the proposition;
but this has neither calmed the pub
lie mind nor satisfied the authorities.
Unusual agitation prevails through
out the upper province. The militia
have been again called out, and
troops are being hurried to the from
tier to meet an expected invasion by
way of Sarnia or Windsor. The Sc
dentary militia have been called to
arms, at least a portion of them, for
the whole strength amounts to
$50. 900 men. This force is only
liable to be called into active service
III times of great danger, as in the
rebellion Of 1887. Whatever may be
the necessity for all these prepara-
tions and precautions, whether found
ed or unfounded, it is clear that at
the present time the Fenians are
creating as great scare in Canada as
they are in the heart of England
itself. It was rumored yesterday
that President Roberts and General
Sweeny passed through Hamilton,
Canada, by railroad, on Thursday

HNHE undersigned, WHOLESALE DEAL
4 ERS, advise you of the fact that
Charleston Is again a market for the pur-
chase OF goodss and in view of the early
opening OF theN Spring Trade, we beg to
solicit the resumption of tho patronage so
hberally extended to this market in the
past. We are aware that many old and
respected firms will be missed from our
number, but many familiar names will be
1ound IN new associations, ready to supply
the wants OF the trade as of yorc, and other
Old and new firms will be added to our
number at an early day.
81 me cash and short credit system having
been universally adopted in all tho North,
ern markets, we are necessarily compelled
to adopt like system as the ONLY safe one
on which to conduct business. and the
neavy per centage once necessary to cover
bad debts VII now be avoided Small pre-
nts and quick returns will be the rule, and
under its working We hope not only to
restore to our ancient city its former pros
perity, but to extend her trade to the full
extent Of the capabilities her excellent
geographical position and natural advar-
tages afford. Our interest and ambition
combine to stimulate us in attaining this
result.
The South Carolina Railroad is now open
TO columbia, and it's President has officially
informed us that the Augusta line will be
completed to Blackville this month, and
that on the first of February he will receive
through freight to Augusta. A line of
steamers to Savannah will afford facilities
for shipping in that direction. 1t is our
purpose to have in store, by the last of
February, complete and varied assort-
ment of goods in our respective lines
adapted to the Spring Trade, and every
e1ertlon shall be made to promote your
interests.
We extend to you the hand of CONNER

ton and patronage in our efforts to make

cause to regret the day they worked

all classes of our countrymen, no
matter what creed they profess, to
stand forth and be ready to aid in the
liberation of Ireland. Ours is no
party cause. We embrace Protest

who love Ireland. For Ireland re-

work, a band of patriots, bound to-

the sacred cause of liberty. May we
ere long commence that glorious

which so many have sacrificed their
lives on the scaffold and in the field.
Let all true men hold themselves in

OPENING OF THE COURT OF EQUITY.
The Court of Equity, after q long in
terval of suspense, was again opened
for its regular February term yester-
day, Chancellor Johnston presiding,
and will continue its sessions until
the business is concluded. Chancel-
lor W. d. Johnston is, for the first
time, in his official character before
the Charleston public, and those but
slightly acquainted with his character
and attainments will feel confident in
the assurance that he is destined to q
distinguished judicial career, and will
give to the matters Of interest more
Immediately before him the conside-
ration to be expected from careful
business habits, and o cultivated and
ripe legal Judgment.
Many circumstances concur to make
this an occasion of interest Much
business has accumulated, the dis
posal of which is necessary to the
settlement of property and rights,
while the re-opening of our courts is
necessary to the realization of civil
law. We can only feel fully assured
that we are under the arbitrament of
our own civil tribunals when we shall
find them again in the exercise of
their Official functions. The amount
of business is not excessive, but it is
it is in reference to the
settlement of trusts, the partition of
property, and the adjustment of mat
ters of business which, though in
volving no very great pecuniary in
terests, are yet necessary to transac-
tions much affecting the wen-being
and order of our people; and, though
there may have been courts, there
fore, of moro Importance in respect
to the interests before them, there
has been no one, perhaps, of such
real Importance to the country.
