COLUMBIA.
Saturday Morning, Ma 1S, 1857; s
Mass Meetings.

Political gatherings are not very
profitable to either the white or CO.
lored people of the South at this
time. Especially do we believe that
their influences are not wholesome
upon those who have just been in
vested with the voting franchise.
Every mass meeting, so-called, loseP
to the man who has to work for 'his
support, whole days wages, besides
imbuing him with notions not favor
able to industry or steady habits; in
fact, frequent attendance on such
assemblages is certain to have de-
moralising effect. : x r
Buswe presume that for a time
at least until the novelty wears Of
the freedmen will indulge in this
luxury of doubtful utility. When
they do so, however, we would be
glad to see their speakers selected
from the intelligent of their own
class. or those conservative white
mon among whom they we're born
and raised. We have an instance Of
one Of such meetings, which we find
noticed in the Sumter TVMchnsan.
That paper says the speakers all de-
clared in favor of putting their
rights and interests in the hands of
men with whom they had been reared.
In this they thought the colored race
would be perfectly secure, for the
constitution that might be adopted
would be referred to the voters of the
State for ratification. If it should
be inimical to them, OF retrench-
ment of their rights, it could be then
rejected, and it would be time enough
for them then to withdraw their con
fidence from their former masters.
There is more good sense, and much
more profitable instruction, in the
sentiments expressed by these speak.
ers, than in all the speeches delivered
by Senator Wilson put together. 4

The True Observation-Disclosures.

A very different set of Northern
reconstructionists, from such men as
Wilson, Kelly, &C., are visiting the
''Old Dominion" at this time. The
Lynchburg papers announce that
some forty or fifty Northern capital
lists arrived there on Tuesday last, on
their way to the Southwestern part
OF the State. They are to be accom-
panied by some twenty-five or thirty
Virginians, from Lynchburg and else
where. Some of these capitalists
already own 10000 acres of land in
Pulaski County, and all are intent on
investing their money proftably. The
p'yi"ian says they purpose erecting
furnaces, and going largely into the
production Of iron.
AS the Richmond Dispatch says, all
such reconstructionists will be well
coined with unalloyed pleasure. They
are emissarics of the kind which we
"ooiu 'ii ucSlIc 10 see the North
send down hithcr to restore us to the
Union and prosperity. There is one
fact in this connection, which the
Dispafch mentions, viz: that there are
lew or no negroes in that part of the
State where these gentlemen have
heretofore invested their money, and
where they purpose to invest SO much
more. What inference is to be drawn
from this line of policy on the part
OF Northern capitalists, we do not
pretend to say; but the Dispatch
thinks that it shows that, in some
way, the negro is i'll the way OF the
States prosperit

THE RADICAL ELEcrIoNEERERs. =
The New York Times SAYS:

He RADICAL ELECTIONEERERS =
The New York Times says:
Whether that is their real purpose
or not, the effect of the teaching of
the extreme radical school Of politi-
clans who are just now electioneer-
ing the negroes of the South will be
to array the two races against each
other-politically and socially. The
blacks are warned by these mon not
to trust the whites in anything. They
are reminded that the whites arc
their old enemies-that if they could
have had their way, they would still
be holding them in slavery, and that
what they are striving after now is to
deprive them of all the benefits of
their freedom. A Massachusetts
emissary, named Hayward, has been
advising the negroes of Richmond to
take possession Of the cars and of
whatever else they wish. In New
Orleans, under the same kind of
teaching. they have driven the whites
out of the street cars. The men en-
gagged in this infamous attempt to
stir up war of races at the South,
are not likely to be influenced by any
fear or foresight Of consequences; so
it IS probably quite useless to warn
them that they are bringing sure de-
struction upon the class whom they
profess to aid. A war of races can
only end in disaster to the weaker;
and the blacks are not half as numer-
oIs as the whites in the South.

The failure OF crops last year was a
heavy af1iction, but would not have.
been felt SO severely had this year
opened with a steady system of Go
vernment, and definite plan to
which they might look. The antici-
patton of new evils to come has
always the most depressing effect on
the human mind. The Northern
people are now suffering from the re-
troaotive effect of this Southern de-
preston. It is impossible for one
portion of the country to be, in such
a condition, without it's effects on
other portions. The health OF. the
whole nation-its vitality, prosperity,
tax-paying and tax-bearing ability
all are affected, all might be vastly
benefited by Southern relief.
If it were asked what would now
be the greatest blessing to the South,
the answer unquestionably would be,
1.-the assurance that the military re-
construction bill is finality:" It is
probably true, therefore. that the
conservative men among the Repub-
licans have it in their power to do
more for the good of the South and
of the whole country than any others.
If they can in any manner convey to
the Southern mind the conviction
that the extent of radical legislation
has been reached, and that the rank
and file will not follow the leaders
any further, they will, by so doing,
add millions to the wealth of the
country. and contribute vastly to the
immediate benefit Of the South and
its population, black and white. The
demand is not for the repeal of the
military measure. but for the assur-
ance that it is definite md final.

Conaing Collision OF Races.

4 There have been two negro riots at
Richmond, within the last ten or
twelve days, and the commander Of
that district NSchofeld-an Of
ficer of more than ordinary prudence
and wisdom, found it necessary, upon
both occasions, to use q portion of
the troops at hand to suppress the
lawless demonstrations. Similar man
ifestions have been made at other
points. These things, which augur
so badly for the future peace and
quiet of the country, may be traced
directly to the teachings and in
fuence of radical emissaries, and of
bad and unscrupulous men, few of
whom can be found in almost every
community, who desire to use the
negro for the vilest and most selfish
purposes. They are not the friends
of the black race; but, on the con-
trary, are leading them rapidly into
trouble, such as they have never en-
countered before, where they will
leave them, upon the first indication
of danger, to take core OF themselves.
We find an article on this subject in
the Richmond Enquirer, q portion of
which We quote: n r T9fe
The events which are transpiring
70 c,f
c,,liar delicacy, and invest the future
with anxious apprehensions. The
times require of us great prudence
and self-command, in the presence Of
the irritating questions that are thrust
upon us.
The tendency at this time seems
very distinctly towards n conflict Of
races. It is evidently the anxious
effort of the agitators of the day to
bring about this result. The negroes
are piled with incendiary harangues,
and are instigated to throw them
selves in collision with the whites in
every possible way. They are urged
not merely to insist on equal accom-
mediation, but to demand indiscrimi-
nate accommodation; to be rode in
the same cars; to be seated in the
same schools; to be accommodated in
the same hotels, &c.
Where all this will end, no man
can doubt; and least of all is it doubt
ed by the instigators. It is their
manifest purpose to bring about a
conflict of races, in order to make n
party use of the disorders to which it
would give rise.
1t should be the earnest effort Of
the white race of the South to disap-
point this diabolical scheme. Let us
bear ourselves with the most conspi-
cuous prudence, and the most ex-
haustless patience. And still more
vital is it to the colored people to
shrink from the encounter of races to
which they are urged, and to with
draw themselves from the counsels of
the bad men who would engage them
in that fatal step. Let them delude
themselves by no absurd calculations.
If war of races should be joined,
let them not think they will receive
any white support. When once the
cry OF black man against white man
is raised, it will quickly be the blacks
on one side against the whites on the
the other. The very white men who
are now leading them to ruin, will de-
sert them when the storm bursts.
How was it in the late warp There
were men at the North who encou-
ragged the South to assert independ-
encc, with promise of support. But
when war came, and when it became q
struggle of North against South,
these men deserted us, and took
sides with their own section and
people.

A SWEEPING LAW. THE new bank
rupt Act, which has already been
brought up in discussions in our
courts, not only does away with i'm
prisonment for debt in all the States
where it now exists, but, according
to the National MteUiyencer, sets aside
all stay laws, AID all preferences,
voluntary agreements, and secret
attachments. Either party to debt,
whether the debtor or the creditor,
may put the estate of debtor into
bankruptcy, by which means the in
tercsts of both parties will be pro-
NOTED. Fraudulent bankruptcy will
be punished as fraud. The IateAI-
Jencer adds, that France has acted in
the matter simultaneously with the
United States, and that England will
soon follow the example. We do not
understand the law rs setting aside
all agreements or deeds giving pre-
ference to creditors, but only certain
ones which are described in the law.

A SAD PRosrEcr FOR LOUISIANA.

A SAD PROSPECT FOR LOUISIANA
The New York Express publishes the
following extract of letter from
merchant in New Orleans to a friend
in New York, dated May 4, 1867:
eve arc having registration here
with vengeance. 5000 negroes re-
gistered to this time, and only 1000
whites! The prospect is, we shall be
ruled by negroes"
Says the same paper: "Is there
any respectable man ut the North
who is willing to look at such facts
with Indifference? Can we, indeed,
see our fellow citizens of the same
race and blood-some of them, in
fact, brothers-reduced to such n
state of degradation, and not give
them our aid in delivering them from
such q condition? If we can, then
woe to the future of orr country"

The Release of Jefferson Davis.

The Northern press, with the ex-
ception of Forncy's Chronicle, Balti-
moro AmcricM and Philadelphia
Inquirer, are pleased with the action
of the Government in discharging
Mr.. Davis on bail The Tribune says:
"All this might have been effected
months ago, by very little courage
and good sense. 1t was as easy last
summer rs now. TO advance toward
some difficulties, is to overcome them,
and this is signal example. The
Government had absolutely no ex-
cuse for the long Imprisonment of
Jefferson Davis, and its refusal to
either release or try him. We affirm
ed this year ago, and that we we're
right was proved yesterday. when,
after the brief remarks of the coun-
sci and n few legal forms, Mr.. Davis
was discharged by the Court. He is
now at liberty to go where he pleases,
and not Mt the South alone, but
equally ct the North, his liberation
will be hailed rs victory Of common
sense"
The Herald, in its article, says:
"The enlargement OF Mr.. Davis
will be hailed with general satisfac-
tion throughout the country, in view
of an uninterrupted reconstruction
and an early restoration to Congress
OF the ten excluded Southern States
X 1t matters little now whether
Davis IS tried next week, next month,
or next year-his trial will end in
smoke. 1T is not unlikely that, if
lett to the courts, his case may be
postponed again and again, till finally
dropped. In the John Brown song
it is said:
we will hang JEFF. Davis to a sour apple
AS we so marching on
And President Johnson has declared
several times that treason is n crime.
and traitors must be punished;' but,
as matters now stand, the best thing
he could do would be to grant free
pardon to Davis, and let him go in
peace"
Forney's Chronicle winds up rs fol-
lows:
"Of course, this whole matter was
arranged in Washington. It is the
work, not of the judicial authorities
at Richmond, but of Andrew John
son and his legal adviser, in subordi-
nation to whom these authorities
were acting. 1t is another step in
the Presidents great work of making
treason odious; another example of
the regard he has for his oft-repeated
pledges; another painful reminder to
the people of the terrible calamity
that fell upon the nation when the
President of their choice was stricken
down by the assassin's bullet"

During severe thunderstorm
which visited Washington city last
Monday afternoon, lofty flagstaff,
which stood in front of the gate at
the cemetery of the old Soldiers
Home, was struck by lightning and
shivered into fragments. A Con-
gressional committee should be ap-
pointed, as soon as possible, to see if
this work cannot be traced to some
rebel in the torpedo business.
