MUNICIPAL APPOINTMENTS Gen.
Candy, of this Military District, has
mado some changes in our municipal
government, not because of any
| grounds of complaint against the
duly elected representatives of the
people of Columbia, but simply be-
cause, as we presume, it seemed good
to him thus to act in the plenitude of
his powers. The sword of the op-
pressor thus opens the way for the
new regime to be tried in South Caro-

We shall not indulge either in COM
plaint or invective in reference to this
arbitrary military proceeding. This
community will illustrate that man
hood which,, folding its arms upon
its breast, represses vain emotions,
and accepts, with equanimity, that
which is inevitable. The strong
man bound can do no more.
The gentlemen removed-Maior
Theo. Stark, Mayor, and Aldermen
Radcliffe, Geiger, Walter, Fisher,
Hunt and Taylor, have the best
wishes of those who elected them to
Office, and whose interests, as we'll as
the interests of all in the community,
they have sought to promote. Honor
attends them Us they leave the Coun.
Gil Chamber of this city.
With respect to the principle car
ried out by General Candy, of placing
colored men in Office, we have but to
repeat what has already been sug-
