honestly aud like freemen as Mev are.
Joined their interests with their white
conservative friends, in the late cleo
tion for Mayor and Aldermen of the
city on Tuesday last.
The old saying is, 1.-The man is de.
serving of praise who considers not
what he may do, but what it is be-
coming him to do" Those of you
who boldly, and in spite of threats
and the party lash, cast your votes on
Tuesday last with aad for your con-
servative friends, acted nobly. You
showed by that action that YOU are
freemen in word, thought and deed,
as you are freemen by name. Your
conduct showed that you were dbove
the League, by recognizing. knowing
and assisting your true white friends
in an issue that is as important to the
colored, as it is to the white man.
Your conduct has raised you largely
in the estimation of the white citi-
zens with whom you voted, and of
one thing you may be assured, that
the good will of your white friends in
Columbia, who have noticed and ap-
preciate your votes, is of far more
consequence to you and your wives
and little ones, than all the false rep
resentations and specious promises of
these trareling patriots, who have
neither permanent home nor country,
so to judge them by their own acts.
The conservative citizens of Colum-
bia who voted the Democratic ticket,
which is elected, tender you their
public thanks for your conduct in
this election, and do not consider
that they compromise their position
and dignity as white citizens, by rem
dering unto you this need of praise
for your assistance, for you evidently
had it in your power to have voted
otherwise.
Thus applying the maxim of Sene-
ca to the colored voters, who are
known, there is q strong hope that
truth will still more influence and
prevail at future time, not very dis
tant, is the belief of many citizens, as
it is the hope and belief of

to be used up in month or six

that they have used only two or three

it according to the directions, and
others have not touched it. The whole
trial has been irregular, and of course
less favorable result has come from
their use. If it be true that "what

The Eorty-First Congress.

.H
In the fortieth Congress tbs raddii
Gals numbered 162, and the Demo
Gratis SO, political status which gave
the dominant party the power of a
two-thirds vote. But tho political
complexion of the parties in the for
ty-frst Congress has been relieved of
some of its sable hue by the energetic
efforts of the Democracy in the re-
cent political struggle. A few more
such triumphs would be the death
blow to rampant radicalism, And
what has been done can be done
again, truthfully remarks the Peters
burg Egpress. In the forty-fir Con-
gress tho.52 Democrats, who battled
in the fortieth against 162 radicals,
will be increased to II, against 1873
radicals. In the former Congress,
the radical majority was 10, in the
fortyIfrst Congress it will be 81. So
that, whereas, the radicals in the for
tieth Congress had two.thirds vote,
viz: 1852 against 142, the requisite
two'thirds, they will not have two
thirds vote in the forty first Con-
gress, their number having been re-
duced by the Democracy in the
recent election from 162 to 1873. The
foregoing calculation is based upon
the latest returns, and upon the sup
position that the radicals will elect
three from New Hampshire in March,
and two in Connecticut in April. If
the figures of our authority be cor
rect, the Democracy have real cause
of congratulation at the political
change they have effected in the next
Congress. According to the publish
ed returns in the New York Herald,
the forty-frst Congress will be com.
posed of eighty-one Democrats and
133 Republicans or radicals, which is
still more fattering. Full and ac-
curate returns will not vary much
either statement.

election of Pillsbury seems to have
turned the heads Of the colored peo-

idol on the throne, their widest
dreams will be realized. A number
of colored women. evidently from
the country, were seen yesterday,
while passing through the back
streets, to stop and view the houses
and select some for their future resi-
dences. A lady was rudely pushed
while endeavoring to pass between
two negro girls, who took up the
whole sidewalk; and, on remonstrat-
ing with them politely, was abused
and told to take the outside, as that
was her place now that the election

THE BANK OF THE STATE. The
Charleston Ne,rs, in publishing the
opinion of Associate Justice Willard,
refusing the application for a writ of
mondamnS to compel the President
and Directors Of the Bank of the
State Of South Carolina to deliver the
assests of the Bank to Governor
Scott, says: 1.-The case is one of the
greatest importance, involving the
faith and credit Of the State, aud at
tracting the attention, not only Of
this entire country, but of the COM
mercial world wherever South Caro-
lima securities are known.
Justice Willard holds that the
writ of monda'nuS was the proper
remedy in this case to enforce the
duty devolved by the statue upon the
President and Directors of the bank
to deliver the assets of the bank to
Governor Scott, but that inasmnch
as the whole fund in dispute is now
in the hands of the Court of Equity,
court of competent Jurisdiction, no
other court can lay hold on it or di-
vert it from the purposes to which it
would be appropriated by the course
of said suit-and he therefore refuses
the motion. The Act of 1853, en-
titled AN act to close the operations
OF the Bank of the State he con-
siders not as remedial statute, but
merely as an operation of proprie-
tary claim to the fund, and, there
fore, not exempting this case from
the force of reasoning applicable to
cases in which the State is not a

The CURRENoY OF THE CouNrRY.
The vast expansion which has been
effected in the currency Of the coun-
try In the past seven years, and which
is now claimed to be necessary to it's
husiness-even though development
has been restrained in one great sec
ton bypolitical action-is very strik-

before the war. The bank paper cir

600, 600 of specie; probably the total
in nse Of both paper and coin was
about $400,000,0O0. Tke highest au-
thorized circulation of paper since,
including certificates OF indebted
ness, was over 81, 200, 900. 600 in
1864-'65, but not oil was in use at

is n little over 500, 900, 900. including

ALL RIGHT. "A Washington tcle-
gram in New York paper says that
as it is known that the Democrats
intend to introduce bill for the re-
storation ofthe full privileges of the
Presidency to General Grant, it is
thought that the Republicans will an
ticipate them, and that an act will be
passed at the commencement of the
December session, to take effect from
the 4th of March next, which will
give the new President the full privi-
ieges of his Office. The telegram
adds that the office-holders will, of
course, be in favor of the existing
condition of affairs. But as the
''outs" are in decided majority, and
as most Congressman would desire to
conciliate the rising power, in view
of the immense number of Offices to
be filed, there is little doubt that the
act will so through Congress with n
large vote.
