A Hope for the Future.

Those who lived under tho Govern
mont of tho United States, whilo citi-
zcns Of q State, before tho lato disas-
trous war, still entertain hopes that
tho day will come when liberty under
the two-fold government will again
obtain, as it did in days of yorc.
Principles have become to be much
like fashions. There is no accounting
for tastes. "De gusti6us non diSputan
dum." 1t is equally 50 nowadays
with political principles. If man
wishes to say that tho powers of Con-
gress are unlimited by anything, OK
ccpt tho vii! of Congress. why he is
simply out of that's all. If
Fashion IS q tyrant, it's subjects yield
with remarkably good grace. SO if
Congress is a tyrant, its subjects must
yield with grace equally rs COM

in regard to these trcachcrous mails
Wo.think Mr. Isylcs' explanation, cor
roboratod by the extract from tho
Charlotte 7tmes, completely exoncr-
,ates him from any blame. We are
glad that we have brought him ont.
We are now prepared to discover just
where the fault lies.
Wo have brought it right down to
tho offices of our Columbia exchanges,
the Curotth'an and the Phmnis. And
we want our contemporaries to under
stand us in this mattor. The evil we
have discovered they can remedy.
1t is to their interest to do it. Let
them deliver their papers directly to
MIR. Iylcs, or the other mail agent,
and the evidence is that wo will re-
coivo our papers in due time. The
Express Agents havo as much as they
can attend to. They have always
been extremely obliging to the Press,
Dut 1T is imposing on good nature to
expect them to assume all the rcspon-
slbilitles of mail agent in addition
to their already oncrous duties.
Mr., l'yles states that if those pa
pcrs arc delivered at the Post Office
in Columbia by 2 O'Clock a. m, or to
the mail agent before the trains leave,
prompt delivery at this post office
can be secured.
we hope now that all parties arc
made acquainted with the difficulties
i'll the way, that there will henccforth
be no necessity to charge any one
With a failure in the discharge of duty.

Tho Fence Law No Moro Fioll Foncine'

The last General Assembly repeal
cd The old Fence law, and honccforth
tho cultivated fields can be turned
out, and tho stock kept in. We con-
gratulatc the District upon this whole
some legislation. There is now some
hope for a prolonged existence of our
already thinncd out forests.
But there is hope of something else
Weeks ago We suggested plan of
sowing down seed for both winter and
summer past'ragc, near Wimsboro,
for the mutual benefit of tho land
owner and of those who keep milcl,
COWS. We guess there arc at least
sixty head ofsuch kino in this place,
and at the very moderate rate of five
dollars Il year, each, for pasturing, it
would give three hundred dollars,
which would be profitable. There is
hopo that some such method will be
adopted for the benefit Of the town.

Tho Veto Message.

We have read with great satisfac-
ton the Presidents mastery message
votoing tho late Act Of Congress Civ
ing general suffrage in the District of
Columbia. II gives succinct histo
~ of the expression Of the popular
voico Of that territory at the ballot
box in 1868, when there was almost a
unanimous decision against granting
such suffrage. 1t quoces fully from
the opinions of the most distinguished
statesmen and constitutional lawyers
of our country. And all these un-
qucstionably support Mr.. johnson in
his position. 1t draws broad and
Gear lines between tho Jurisdictions
Of the Legislative, Executive, and Ju-
dietary departments Of tho Federal
Government and closes in tho follow
ing words
After full delibcration npon this
measure, oaniot bring mysolf to ap-
prove it, even upon local con#idcra-
ton, nor yet as the beginning Of all
experiment on a larger scale. yield
to no one attachment to that rule Of
general suffrage which distinguishes
our policy as nation, but there is a
limit wisely Observed hitherto Which
makes the ballot privilegc---a trust
which requires ofsomo classos u time
suitable for probation and preparation.
10 give it indiscrininatcly to new
class, wholly unprcparcd, by previous
habits and opportunities, to perform
the trust which it demands, is to de-
grade it, and finally to destroy It's
power and may be safely assumed
that 10 political truth is better cstab-
lishcd than that such indiscriminato
and all-cmbracing extension of popu-
lar suffrage must end at last il de-
struction.

Congress Tho Radicals Money.

The Legislative department of the
United States Government has no
moro regard for constitutional limita-
tons to-day than a hungry hog for a
two-rail fcnco. What boots it for
the President to urge wise and consti-
tutional objections against its insane
acts TO tell Congress the Constitu-
ton is in it's way, in any thing it
proposes to DO, is like breathing
against the tornado. Tt is tho South
crn people, and the President, who
darcs to claim for them rights not
only under the Constitution, but ac-
cording to tho dictates of common
sense and humanity, that Congress
means TO ovcrwnu,nl. -.--
But Congress is radical. viii it
forever SO continue 1t is certain
that the 10th Congress, which begins
its sessions on the 1th of next March,
will be Radical and if the present
body insist upon the extreme pro-
grammc they have already marked
out, in other words, if Congress does
what it now does sin the green tree,
"what will it do in the dry"
There is but one thing, it appears,
that will bring Radicalism to it's
senses. Let the stupcndous money
interests of the North begin to quake,
and an avalanche of fury will rush
down upon those Congressional luna
tics that will restore them to Il con-
sciousncss of dcrcliction in duty.

1t is time this community were de-

Is one near the Baptist Church, just
upon the very edge of the sidewalk, q
very dangerous one. There is one on

one where men and beasts have tum-
blcd hcadlong down. Perhaps there
are others. Some lost child, or other
serious casualty, will yct be the con-
sequence of those deep and dangerous
openings scattered here and there over
