magnanimity and generosity OF the oonquerors.
We copy from the Pheniz:
Wefnd tho following remarkable and worry solf-
complacent paragraph in editorial ans|cle in the
Charleston Ncw,, of Wednesday:
ga slight change of sentiment is poroeptible in
the editorial management of our country exchanges.
From violent opposition to the military bill, they
have drifed into silence, and, in few instances,
have been emboldened to advocate its measures as
the only basis of reconstruction that can be e1-
pected. The Columbia Pheniz, the Anderson IN
tcll,gcncer tho Sumter Nes0s, and the Winnsboro
Tn Weekly Ncws, have changed their tactics in
this respect more fully than their cotemporaries
On what meat has our Cmsar fed, that he deigns
to notice the .'sight change in sentiment" in his
i'oountry exchanges" Was it the pap received
under the just defunct regime, when the News
fancied itself "hc power behind the throne? What
ever the .nutriment may have been, il has set the
vanity of our contemporary upon lofty pair OF
stilts, and, high up in mid-air, he complaccntly
condescends to noto the change Of tactics in his
more humble and unpretending cotcmporaries-
sour country exchanges -
Unfortunately for ;.the truth of history" and
for the reliability of the allegations of this mag
nate of South Carolina journalism, his assump-
tons, as far as the Columbia Paeni1 is concerned,
are not founded in fact. This journal has con-
stantly advocated reconstruction under the laws Of
Congress, whatever may have been the opinion Of
its editorial management as regards tho right OF
justice of said enactments. Has the Ners been as
consistent? We have noted its "slight change Of
sentiment" towards the setting suu-the dcthroned
monarch-and now, that We are provoked to it by
the fling of the Neps, We will watch, with some
little interest, his attitude of worship to tho rising
luminary. Brother "why beholdest thou the
mote that is in thy brothers eye, but considcresi
not the beam that is in thine own eye?''

TO THE PEOPLE LIVING NEAR THE sALUDA
RIVER

! For upwards of thirty years you have been de-
prived of tho delicious food that river formerly
| furnished you in Shad. You have been prosperous
and did not 80 much need them. But are YOU so
now? Why, then, are not the proper steps taken
to have fish sluico made in the dam across the
| river near its mouth. In o cursory examination
of the laws on the subject, it was found that in
1897, (P. s. vol. G: pago 340,) that law was
passed appointing commissioners for Saluda from
its mouth up to the Newborry line, to see that fish
sluices sixty feet wide were opened in any dam
across Saluda within their boundary. Commis-
sioners were appointed and required to act under
Office for three years only. In the year 1890 they
went out of Office, and have not found where
any other commissioners havo been appointed.
The Same law authorized the abatement, a
nuisance, any dam across that river. But who is
to do it What is every mans business is no.
body's business Is it not the avowed purpose of
the papers published in the State to furnish infor
nation to their subscribers? Will the Editors of
tho papers in Anderson, Abbevillc, Lexington,
NeWberry, Laurens and Greenville call the atten-
tion of their subscribers to this subject, 30 that
the remedy may be discovered and applied If
new legislation be necessary, let petitions from
each of the Districts above named be prepared
and sent to our next Legislature, demanding that
saluda shall bo opened for the free passage Of
Shad.
If, however, on examination it shall BIO found
that the dam can be abatod as nuisance, as the
laws now stand, can it be that there is no lawyer
in the above named District who has enough Of
patriotism, and who has sufficient love Of justice
and equal rights, to publish to the people interest
cd the mode by which this remedy can be carried
out without fee? Yes, can bear testimony to
much greater share of patriotism in that class
than this small demand upon them would seem to
require.
feel that it is not necessary to enlarge on The
value of our rivers as source for food; and if
these suggestions ehall havo tho effect to call the
attention of tho people interested to the subject
my object will have been answered.

REGISTRATION AGAIN.

Tho various Boards of Registration in this Dis

to present any argument, at this late day, to in
duce persons to register their names, if qualified
TO do SO, whether not they intend to participate
in the coming elections. All have agreed long
since that it is imperative duty to be properly
qualified by registration, inorder that mono shall
Voluntarily become disfranchised, and thereby pre-
yonted from aiding in the future conduct of State
and municipal affairs. But VIC desireto state that
In the opinion of some Of the registrars the bulk
OF colored voters have already registered and thai
the large majority of persons expected to register
now will probably be white voters. Beyond
doubt the colored vote in this District will be con-
trolled in the interests of the Republican party,
and since the difference between the colored and
white registered vovers is quite small at this time
s::t behooves every man desirous Of defeating that
fparty,to place himself in proper position, where
hisinfuence will be felt. For e time the negroes
will be carried away by Radical influences and
Union Leagues; and it is highly probable that
strict party lines will be drawn. If this be SO, and
the whites expect to control the District they can
only accomplish that end by registering in full
force Unless We are willing to see the District
and municipal Offices in the hands of incompetent
men, none should fail to assist in making the white
majority decided and beyond contingency. We
trust that every white man in the District will pro-
perly appreciate the situation, and govern himself
sesOydingly.
