Providence

In order to make our victory the more complete,
it seems that Providence has permitted our Presi-
dent to turn against us. that the people, through
their representatives in Congress might make heu
victory the more thorough" RePub Exchange
What habit these broad nosed phari-
sees have of calling on The name of Pr"vi-
dcncr. and pntting all their short comlng'
on his shoulders When Lincoln was
assas,inated in Ford Theatre, it was
openly pronounced an act Of Providence
Lincoln was declared to be the Moses that
was allowed to view, but not enter the
promised land, that Providence removed
him, and placed man in the Executive
chair, who had more nerve to carry out
Gods designs against the South. So
sang the Radical press and pulpit then.
There may be truth in the above quota
ton, nevertheless. Man is declared to be
"desperatcly wicked" In view Of that
fact and the corruptions, licentiousness,
e c., at Washington, Providence couid not,
very consistently, entrust the Mongrel
Congress to carry out his views. Their
victory is not Gods victory or he would
not have "permiited our President to turn
against u.s." The idea, however, of Prov
idence granting a special permit 10 the
President, sounds little too much of Pu-
ritan blasphemy.-JeferSon'an.

"Perils OF the Hour"
{ From Washington National InteIllgencer.)


| Six Years ago we dlifted INTO war be-
cause the American people would not be
lieve that any of its public mrn were mad
enough to prefer running the country TO
abandunIng their own seltwilled purpose.
The same danger threatens to-day. The
majority IN Congress are bent on tyrannic
rule. without regard to the CONSTITUTIONS
They are tramplIng on its provisions on the
pretext that they do not apply to rebels,
aud laugh al the idea that the p, ople will
resist sooner than have the solemn guar
antees Of that instrument contemptuou<ly
oyerthrown.
Does not every wise man see that the
Republic is sore y threatened Our Con-
gfeSsional leaders say that they are acting
III perfect accordance with the Constitution,
But in all controversies about the meaning
of that Instrument there Is but the aulhori-
tatlve tribunal. This, Congress is now
proposing to disr' gard. The Supreme
Court has solemnly pronounced against
military tribunals for civilians. In defiance
of this, Congress proposes to govern one
half Of this CO ntry by military commits
sions. Ii. the name of constitutional liber-
ty, in the name of the martyred dead who
have fallen fighting the grrat strife tor the
Constitution and the Union; in the nam e
of the grrat interests with which this Re
public is entrusted; in the name of the
oppressed of all the lands who lo"k to this
as at once their model aud their inspira-
ton, We protest against this proposed vio-
latiun OF our organic law.

r." WEDNESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 16, 1867.

I am constrained to character
ize your letter as your second bid
for Radical favor. Your speech
in Charleston, when you migrate
fully aspersed the Democratic
party which gave you prominence,
was your first bid. Your letter
has furnished the Radical party
with pretext for the prosecution
of it's nefarious designs for the op-
preston of the South, that has
been seized upon with avidity by
its partizan Journals. While thus
opening the way for your admis-
sion into the folds of the Black Re-
publican party, you might at least
have spared US the unwarranted
calumny Of stating that but for
the "wisdom, moderation, and for
bearance" of Gen. Sickles "a con-
siderable number Of troops would
have been necessary to preserve
public records, and ensure the safe
ty ofsherifSs, &C." You we'll know
how law abiding are the citizens
Of the State thus maligned by you,
and that the only riotous demon
strations made since the War have
been by negroes at places where
United States troops were in force.
In conclusion [ must say that
your letter represents the senti-
ments of only a small class Of debt,
ors who prefer their individual
well-being to the preservation OF
the liberty of their country; and
that all true South Carolinians
feel that Gen. Sickles while with
u.s.. whatever may have been his
personal relations to you, not only
crushed out the substance of iber-
ty but likewise destroyedits forms.
- Yours respectfully,

Sleeping Equality.

The enterprise Miss, )Star tells
the following good story Of a min
ister we'll known among the Meth
odists on Pearl River, but who has
moved to Alabama
"a friend has just stepped in.
who gives us the following as a
practical test of the sincerity OF
the newly converted Radicals. We
recommend its general adoption.
by those Of our colored people
whose votes and influence the
Radicals are endeavoring to OBJ
tain by regular system of equal
ity hood-winking:
Rev. Mr.. Talley, Of the Mont
gomery Conference of the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church South, who
is a weak vessel" has been
bought up by the cmmissarles OF
the Northern Methodist Church.
In ignorant zeal Of new convert,
who of course wished to render
some service for his money, he
went into the Summerfeld Dis
trict, over which DR.. A. II. Mitch:
ell presides, and began the propa-
CATION of the perfect equality doc
trine among the colored people.
This equality he carried Beyond,
and as tho legitimate result was
lionized by the negroes.
An old gentleman OF the white
persuasion, residing in the neigh
borheol where this missionary. Of
equality was laboring, saw proper
to doubt Mr.. Talley's sincerity,
and told a favorite boy-an old
time house and body servant, who
had imbibed great confidence in
Mr.. Talley as a sincere equality
man-that he had as well keep
his money, if he intended to give
Mr.. Talley any, until he could
test his sincerity. A new idea
struck Jack. Mr.. Talley was to
stay all night at Jacks masters.
When he retired to bed Jack ac-
complained the reverend turn-coat
to his room and held him in long
conversation on the equality doc
trine, until Mr.. Talley was fully
committed to it, and thoroughly
sleepy, he took off his coat ready
for bed so did Jack. Boots came
next so did Jacks. Tally's pants
off; Jacks ditto. Look here
Jack, what are you up to p quoth
Mr.. Tailey.
Muffin tall sir. Des going to

"What's that you are going to
be down to- said his reverence.
"Well, Use goin to bed with
YOU, dat's all dere is about it. l
is les as good as you is, accordin
to the Lords gospel by you, and
| l am tired of sleeping wild myself
in de shuck pen. SO is gong 10
sleep wild you in masters bed,"
said Jack.
Mr.. Talley took a deliberate, in
dignant survey Of Jack from head
to foot, slowly put on his clothes,
went to the stable, bridled and
saddled his horse, and left that
hill q sadder and wiser man."

ExrRAoRDIrARY Confession OF

threatened President Johnson
with hanging. This was ,indig-
nantly denied by his friends O.; : but

authority, which is equivalent to
confession, that what he did say
on this subject was quite as bad,
ifaet worse, than he was original.

twhat a terrible state Of demorall'
cation the leading politicians Of

It isHbut in accordance with the

that a man using such language
would at once forfeit his status
