This bill proposes to diaranchise all who particpa-

further than the Military bill Sumner also intro

It is to be administered to every voter therein and
requires him to abjure every doctrine held by reb

CONSISTENCY.

CONSlSlENCIs
sSauce for the goose is sauce for the gander'' is
proverb which was once supposed to contain the
germ of great truth But the enlightened party
which is now governing Tor rather n,isgoverning)
the country, has decided the supposed truth to be
falscy That party has spent millions of money
and shed seas of blood, to place the negro upon a
footing of equality with the white man. Eight
millions of white people made mighty effort to
prevent this consummation; but they were forced
to succumb to the powerful logic of Yankee gener-
ais, backed by unnumbered bayonets, and they now
practically admit the full equality of the African
to the Caucasian race The fiat has gone forth that
the white man of the South possesses no right
which does not likewise belong to the negro, and
the Southis powerless to dispute it.
Nowit seems reasonable that the people of the
North, who forced this principle upon the South at
such cost Of treasure and blood, should recognize
it at home. AS they displayed such zeal in ma
king the negro q citizen of South Carolina against
the wishes Of her people, it might reasonably have
been expected that they would confer upon him
the same right in Ohio, where there was no blood
to be shed in the undertaking. But no. Radical
charity does not begin at home: it prefers giving
freedom to the captive at the expense Of others
The Legislature of Ohio refused, by vote of two
to one, to submit to the people Of that State an
amendment to their Constitution, which strikes the
word ''white' out of it.
This action of the Ohio Legislature proves con-
clusivey that the majority of that body do not be-
ieve the negro entitledto the rights of citizenship
The number of negroes in that State is too small
for their combined vote to affect the result of par
ty elections had there been any danger of its be-
ing cast against the Radicals. But as this vote
would probably count in favor of the party which
created it, negro suffrage could have been defeated
from no motive of policy. IF the Legislators had
been governed by party interest," they would have
presented the question to their constituents. They
either doubted the qualification of the negro to cit
zenship, themselves, or they thought their constt
uents doubted it. In either case, they prove in
sincerity on the part of one Northern State in the
great crusade upon our rights and our liberties,
!, which has at last succeeded in crushing out our
existence as independent States. This is another
link in the chain of facts proving that hatred to
the South-not love for the negro, was the motive
which brought the swarming legions Of the North
into the field for our destruction. az III ......l =

We arrive at this conclusion very easily. Health
results from obedience to the laws of life. The
laws of life are the laws of God. To violate these
is to sin; and the evidence of this sin is disease
Every man owes it to himself, to his family, and
to his country to be useful through industry and
energy he cannot have industry and energy i
he be an invalid Thus it is his duty to be well IN
order to be useful fso, it Is clearly criminal to
not be well to be sick. - .c .s,.. =.
We cannot always avoid sickness, it is true
but in at least nine cases in ten we can, if we will
properly inform ourselves upon the subject Of dis
eases and the proper means Of avoiding them
And as far as our sickness results from wilful OF
voluntary ignorance of the laws Of health, we are
guilty Of a crime in being sick .. :-.. r.,
Several years ago we took occasion to mention
some valuable books on this subject, and to com,
mend some to the attention of our readers. We
take occasion again to speak of one which We con.

THE DUTY OF THE HOUR.

{When threatened with imminent calamity, a
brave man will summon all his energies and ex-
haust all his resources tomeet it. But having done
all he can to avert it, if it is inevitable, it be-
comes his duty to bear his trial with calmness and
fortitude. Such is the present position Of the
South. The dangers which now hang over us were
foreseen years ago, and in the true spirit Of pru-
dence, our people took up arms as the only means
of preserving their liberties. The struggle that
ensued brought no disgrace upon either our men
on the battlefield, or our women on the harder Or
deal of freside endurance Of war. But though
the contest was carried on while the faintest geam
of hope encouraged us, it was finally decided a.
gainst us; and by that result, we lost all that we
had staked upon it. The evils which we sought
to prevent have come upon US in spite Of our best
efforts, and it only remains for us to conduct our
selves like honorable men, and calmly bear what
We cannot help.
Endurance of expressions which cannot be
thrown off is the severest ordeal through which q
nation can be called to pass. Yet the signs of the
times Enthusiastically indicate that this ordeal is in
store for our people. Our Radical enemies have
perpetrated upon us wrong which cries aloud to
Heaven for vengeance, but we are powerless to re-
sist it. How much farther they may 60, in infict-
ing injuries upon u.s. or where they will stop, can
not be foretold. It is,not improbable that confs-
cation will be attempted, and perhaps carried out
But whatever the course of events nothing is to
be gained by rash or inconsderate action Of any
kind. So far as possible, anything likely to bring
on collision of the military power with our cit-
zens, either collectively or as individuals, should
be avoided. We will certainly have military gov
ernment soon enough and plenty enough to satisfy
its most earnest admirers Let us rather live qui-
etly under the existing laws, each man attending
to his own business, and await in patience the ar
rival of the autocrat of the second District. If
that august parsonage finds everything working in
peace and order under the State laws, he will in all
probability continue them in force, subject only to
his supervision. By this course, we will secure
the blessings of regularly administered law and
justice A contrary course will render us liable to
the sudden suspension Of State laws, and the sub
stitution of caprcious and tyrannical

THE RAMSEY But, nERY.
A Few More Facts aud Speoula-
tlons-The Clark Suspicion
Disposed or.

The shocking act by which a well
known citizen was brought to prema.
ture grave. failed even to prove nine
days wonder. The terrible crime was
revealed week ago, yet three'fourths of
our citizens have forgotten it. Some
thing else has swallowed up the intense
excitement which prevailed for few
days, and the public is prepared for the
next chapter in the BOOB Of local hor-
rors. Relative to this murder little has
transpired since our last report. Col.
Beaumont aud Detective Selkirk, who
have been closely investigating the mat
ter, are in possession Of a number of
circumstances which may result in clear
ing up the mystery, but cannot with
propriety sanction their publication.
Several points given below will not prove
uninteresting, as disposing Of some of
the rumors naturally brought to the sur
face during the excitement. The man
Clark has been brought forward in the
list of suspected parties. This surprises
the people in the vicinity of the murder,
as a few facts known to them render
such suspicion absurd. The distance
between Bottoms and Mrs. Watkins is
about two and half miles. The scene
of the murder is one and half miles
from Bottoms, on the direct route to the
other place. At about 345 pm, Tues
day, Ramsey arose from his chair at Boil
tons and informed Clark, and the other
persons present, that he had engaged to
return to Mrs. Watkins at four o clock,
and must leave at once, Clark desiring
to see Mr.. Bolton, who was still absent,
concluded TO remain, but agreedto meet
Ramsey at the end of the lane at six
o'clock. AS was testified by parties who
heard the shots, Ramsey was murdered
about 4:lO p m, in less than half an hour
after leaving Bottoms. 1t is substanti-
ated by everybody at Bottoms that Clark
did not leave the house until few min
utes before six o'clock. When he arrived
at the place of rendezvous Ramsey had
been dead for upward of an hour and
half. Not a shadow of proof has up to
this hour been adduced prejudicial to
Clark, who stands out as the investiga-
tor progresses as Ramsey's warm friend
whenever he needed one. The univer.
sally accepted belief in the country is,
that the first passer-by would have
received the shots whose result placed
poor Ramsey's bloody corse in the
swamp. The fact that since the murder
another man was fred at from thicket
near by strengthens the belief, and TO our
mind, settles the matter

A MORNING paper keeps standing
at the head Of its columns in conspic-

" Largest circulation Of any paper in

ton"
Now, if this is true, we have no right
to say one word on the subject. But if
it is not true, it is not right that any
other paper should take from us the
credit and reap an advantage which be-
longs to the LEDGER The public, whose
advertising patronage depends much on
the circulation of newspaper, is enti-
tied to know the facts. And the paper
which pretends to the largest circulation
should be able to establish it. We pub
lish that the LEDGER has the largest cir
culation. We think it is three times as
large as that paper. So that one of us
is mistaken. Whichever it is should
take down the horns And we now offer
to pay over to Col. Kerr for the Fanny
Thurston fund one hundred dollars if our
whole circulation does not exceed that
paper tioo TO one, provided only the pub
fishers referred to will do the same if it
does-to be determined by selection of
mutual friends as judges. Thus the
truth will appear, and charitable fund
be increased in either event
We can get no reply as to the question
of relative circulation of the Bulletin
and the LEDGER. We shall therefore adj
here to our opinion, heretofore expressed,
that the difference in our favor is as
three to one. The public will draw its
own conclusions, as to whether it is ad-
Missile that our neighbor should pre-
tend to circulation at all. If, by hunt
ing about, anybody should discover that
paper in dwelling house or store they
can count that for one. We do not deny
that here and there, one may be found,
after close hunt, while the LEDGER is
to be found everywhere. We rather re-
greet the result, as Col. Kerr informs us
that he has particular use for that hun
dred, and can apply it to a very good
purpose.
