The Formation Of a New Party

The indications of reaction in Northern
and Western politics arc encouraging. 1t
seems that the people axe at last taking The
alarm; and begin to perceive that their own
liberties, and the financial credit Of tho country
will soon be dissipatcd, if the Radicals remain
in power. We publish in this issue, on the
first page, the Conservative platform in Ala
bama, which is the first Southern State that
seems to have taken steps to organize party
that can cooperate with the Northern Anti
radicals. In Georgia, the Anti-rcconstruction
lists are about to hold Convention, to organ.
izc tor the approaching elections but their
platform is to be rather more Of the Hill and
Perry order, than that Of the Conservatives
There seem to be three parties in the North,
and three forming in the South--at the North,
the Radicals, the Conservative Republicans,
and the Democrats at the South, the Rad-
calls, the Conservative Unionists, and the Anti
rcconstructionists. The real struggle is going
to be between the Radicals and Conservatives; !;
and the only salvation for tho country is to be
found in strengthening the Conservative ranks.
Let the Democrats of the North give up De-
mocracy, and the Anti.rcconstructionsts of the
South give up their extreme views, and let
great Conservative party be formed, to which
all lovers Of peace, order, and liberty can at
tach themselves, irrespective Of previous politi
cal opinions.

military commander, by driving around in q

excel, is about to try his hand in managing a
team of fire. The moro high-mettled his
coursers, the more Grant, who prides himself
upon equestrian exploits, will enjoy it. He
will hold tight rein, and there will be no use
in kicking. AS far as we, the people, are con-

it to your careful consideration. The evil is a.
serious one, aud ought to be rcmcdicd; and in

you secm to be the proper ones to attend to it..
The Boards Of Registration are not at all to

nineteen has the appearance of maturcr age.
We beg to suggest to you the following plan.
Which will give you but little trouble and will
be a great public benefit, for which your fell
low-citizcns will thank you. Examine care
fully the lists Mt your respective polls and
communicate with former owners Of the freed
men Of doubtful age. If those former owners
do not live in your ncighborhood, if you y i'll
send to the orangc1'oy Ncus the namos of tho
freedmen, together with the names of their
mothers, and Of their former owners, we will
see that those owners arc notified, SO as to ossS,l
You in proving ages. We will do this cfes4as -
fully for the good Of the District, if the man.

The Orangeburg news. [volume] (Orangeburg, S.C.) 1867-1875, 1867-08-24
Order No. 10, &c.
SPECTATOR.

We clip the following from the Washington
correspondence of the New York Herald, of
the 18th inst.
The first step towards the dcvclopcmcnt of
the new liberal policy for Southern Recon
struction was brought forward, in Cabinet
meeting to-day, and Grant, who attended as
Secretary of War, favoured it promnt,y. This
step was the adoptices Of an c.uier to General
S."- .cs; comr.aneling him to rcscind his order
suspcnding the payment Of debts and also his
other order by which the execution of process
of the United States Court in Wilmington, N.
c., was inpcdcd 1t was agreed in the Cabi-
net meeting to instruct General Sicklcs that
ho was in no case to interfere with the man
dates Of the Federal courts 1t is believed by
tho President tthnt Reconstruction can go on
without abolishlng every trace of civil govern
ncnt. In matters of local legislation not op-
posing the theory of Reconstruction, it is con-
sidcrcd that the State Legislatures should be
allowed to have their own way. This new or
der is. therefore, the result of these views, and
may be regarded us the first check to dcspotic
administration in the South since the suspcn-
sion of Stanton. 1t is believed that Sickles
will resign in consequence; but others assert
that he will do no such thing. .a.
-Apropos of resignation, I am informed that
the policy likely to be adopted towards the
present Military Commanders will be one of
gradual dccapitation. Sheridan will probably
be the first victim. and Pope the next. Then
there will be pause. Should the other Com,
mandcrs profit by the fate of these two
and fall gracefully in with the Johnsonian
policy, they will be>allowed to remain in Office
for long time, and may not be stirred at I'll
if their support is given heartily and in real
earnest; but if, when Sheridan is removed tho
rest tender their designations, have no doubt
no obstacle will be thrown in tho way of their
retirement.
The Orangeburg news. [volume] (Orangeburg, S.C.) 1867-1875, 1867-08-24
The Last Political Move.

The President Of the United States has for
n moment awakened from his lethargy, and has
suspended Stanton from his position as Secrcta-
ryof War, and appointed General Grant to fill
the position a1 interim. This has been sue
cccdcd by the dccapitation of the I.onisiann
tyrant Sheridan, who has been ordered to tho
West to fight the Indians. General Thomas
succeeds Sheridan at New Orleans. There is
one significant feature in connection with tic
