The tri-weekly standard. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1866-1868, 1867-05-04

We invite attention to the excellent reso-
lutions in the Standard to-day, recently
adopted in Pickens and Lexington districts,
South-Caroiina. The preamble to the reso-
lutions of the Pickens meeting is especially
suggestive and appropriate. 1t presents in
a few words the true condition of the coun-
try, and what may be expected if the pres
ent effort at reconstruction should fail.
There is no WOrth-Pell-Graha
Turner meeting in this State that has adop-
ted or will adopt such resolutions. Verify,
the latter-day war saints, who began to fight
IN 1863 against their consciences to save
their negroes, are more rebellious than these
South Carolnians.

THE COLUMBIA MEETlNc.-Thc New York
Times, of Tuesday, in its comments on the
meeting held in'Columbia on Monday last says:
1t seems strange to read that, among the
speakers who came to applaud and encourage
these negroes, were Gen. Wade Hampton,
Hon. William F. DeSauSsure, formerly United
States Scaator, Hon. Wm. Talley, Edward
Arthur and James Gibbes, all eminent leading
men of the State. Two colored men of note
also made addresses, and the whole spirit Of
the meeting is represented to have been of
the most cordial good feeling. Such fact
goes great way to explode the studious mis-.
representations of Southern feeling, sent up
or invented here by extremists. That, in the
heart of South Carolina-a State in which
the blacks are largely in the majority-one
Of the foremost OF the Confederate Generals,
and himself once the largest STAKEHOLDER in
the country, should meet his former cbattels
in this frank and manly style, and so unreser-
veily accept the situation, is a fact to out
weigh volumes of hostile invective and mis-
representation.

The So-Called Supplemental Military


This Bill, the finishing stroke to our military
subec,ion, the last lick of the Radical Congress
before its adjournment until December, pay be
found in another column of to-day's paper. The
President vetoed it. Tho Radicals passed it i'm
medately over his veto. 1t is now tho law. It
will be seen that this bill authorizes the military
commanders in the several Districts to cause
registration of all the voters in each State, not
disfranchiscd by the original bill, on or before
the first of September next. Thirty days after
this registration is completed, the military COM
mander is authorized and required to order an
election for mombers Of State Convention.
( When this registration take, place, of course
erery man not disfranchised should register
promptly. The commonest sense of self preser-
vation should urge him to do this. And why
Because there are ignorant men in the South,
there arc false men, there nre designing men,
tbere are treacherous man; and to sit quietly and
let matters drift into the hands of any such would
be stupidity reckless.

Commander, hns arrived in Charleston from Wash

taking command of the two Carolinas, has not

papers that tho civil government of South Caroli-

will not be interfered with.

A MILITARY MASSACRE IL MEXIco.-One
Of the mast terrible tragedies connected with
the wars of modern times, has Just transpired
in Mexico By order of Escobedo, who signs
himself gcIeral-in-chief of the army of the
Republic o. Mexico, one hundred and twenty.
three prisoners were brutally murdered in cold
blood. Th, Ranchero, Mexican journal,
says:
The order was executed on the Sd inst, at
I o'clock III the evening; Or, rather the exc
cution of one hundred and twenty.three pris-
oners was finished at that hour. One by one
the prisoners were shot, and each bloody body
was left as it fell for the next victim in order
to look upoo We are informed that but few
of the doomed victims fallered and when
marched out for execution most of them sang
the Marsellaise hymn. We have been prom
ised the full particulars of this awful massacre,
and when received they will be laid before
the public in order to complete the black and
damning record.
After the execution at San Jacinto, Gen.
Escobedo ordered ball at San Luis Pc'csi,
in honor of tie victory achieved over Mira.
mon. 1t WIS 70 have been the grandest af-
fair ever gotten up in that city. One hundred
and fifty ladies' were inyited, who were of
course the "ton of the town." When the
hour came to commence the dance, the he,
roes of the San Jacinto massacre found that
but fifteen ladies had responded to the invita-.
ton. And no more than fifteen of those in
vited did tend that night. From this it may
be determined what the women of Mexico
think of the murderers of those French and
German prisoners.

A battle was considered imminent. The
garrison of the City of Mexico was much

This is q name which should be known and

We believe he is young. That he loves the South

weeps for her, is beyond q doubt. He is tho au-

The following, an extract of lecture delivered
recently in Nashville by Father Ryan, is sven
more beautiful if possible than the Conquered
Banner. "A land without ruins is a land without
memories-a land without memories is land
without liberty. A land that wears a laurel crown
may be fnir to see but twine a few sad cypress
leaves around the brow of any land, and be that
land barren, beautiess and bleak, it becomes love-
v in its consecrated coronet of sorrow, and it wins
the sympathy of the heart and of history. Crowns

For out of the gloom, future bris shtness is born,
As after the night looms tho sunrise of morn;
And the graves of the dead with the grass over

proceedings of meeting of colored citizans
held in the Military Hall building, on Thurs
day evening, and at which H. Judge Moore
presided. The room was filled to overnowing.
A platform was adopted. after which there
was considerable speech making. One of the
speakers, F. L. Cardoza, seconded the resolu-
tious. and warned the freedmen against the
seduc.ions Of tGeir former masters, who now
pretended to be their friends. He said that
the righ! of suffrage was only given to them
temporarily, and if they did not use it wisely,
their Northern friends, the radicals. would
take it away as suddenly as they had given 1t.

The IrrepressibIe Conflict.

On Sunday afternoon last, our village was the
scene of fierce and irrcprcssible conflict The
holy day makes the deed appear more unholy
Four or five soldiers of tho Federal garrison be-
came "bifurcated with hot shots from blueruin
decantcr," and very wantonly disturbed the pence
of IL colored family. These soldiers, we under
stand, are of Ccltish origin. Their feet were at
one time on their nttive bog. They have ma
tional antipathy to reptiles and swear by St. Pat
rick They are devotedy attached to potatoes
and have an abiding faith in good whiskcy. By
some means, as VIC have already insinua:ed, these
said C-ltish gentlemen an quantity Of the said
good whiskcy got inside Of each other; and
straightway the Cclts were upon the war-pa'h.
As they wendcd their devious way along our
Main Street, they ch.nced to approach the resi-
dence Of an Anericau citizen of African descent
Phil Hill-a good, honest, well meaning fellow.
Phil was not n! home he was cup town. per-
haps pondcring, in pensve mood, the long-stand-
ing but now thoroughly-avengcd wrongs of his
nation. The Celts entered his domicile forcibly,
and spread terror and dismny among tho females
Of his family. Mrs Phil crept forth and surrep-
ttiously despatched messenger for Phil. The
sntutorcd African rushed to the rescue, and e1-
cited to frenzy by the base assressions of the
Celts, pitched in upon the latter with most vaor-
GUS vim. 1t being Sunday, Phil's friends were
lying round loose. They flew to arms. More
Celts arrived upon tho field of glory. 'Tis i'm
possible to describe the scene A combat ensued
that promised very serious termination. The
result had like to have been the same as in the
fight of the Kilkenny Cats. It seemed probable
for some time that nothing would be left but q
few mangled remains for the coroner to hold IN
inquest upon.
Blu. the Africans triumphcd gloriously. One
Celt was cut; another was shot, though not killed
while another was brought to the ground by an
unerying brick from the vcngeful hands Of Mrs.
Phil.
The Commandant of the Post arrived upon the
scene, and speedily dispersed the comba.ants.
Phil was arrested and carried TO headquarters,
bu! upon representations Of his good character
being made to the Commnndant, and sufficient
surety given of his appearance when the mater
should be investigated. he was released. As-fr-
the focmen whom Phil thought worthy ~ OF b'iS
steel, we imagine they have had time, in the
guard-houFe, to get thoroughly sober, md to re-
feet ma.urely upon the nature and results Of +" r-
rspreseible conflicts" in general.
