sells had drawn up within Smelling

and party of men from English,
French and American vessels had de-
stroyed the ammunition in fort
near Hiogo which had been deserted
by the troops. A body of 800 Japan
ESQ troops had made desultory
attack upon the American Consulate

consequence our crews had thrown
up earth-works ashore, and placed four
howitzers in battery. Prince Satsu-

was granted right Of passage

of apologizing and granting protec-
tion to foreigners, which he did,
whereupon the foreign troops, with
the exception of marine guards at
the consulates, were withdrawn.

The Great Issue Before tho Country

~
nal, an editor should propose to him
self q high standard. He should
seek to do no man, however great or
however humble, the least injustice.
He should neither suggest the false
nor suppress the true. He should
not mis-state the position of his
opponents; nor should he utter po-
litical lies any sooner than he would
Individual ones. In fine, the ends
aimed ut should be country's, Gods
and truths; and one should write ''no
line which, dying, he might wish to
blot" In this spirit, we seek to
write, and with sense of our re-
sponsibility to honor and to truth, do
we pen the appeals that this journal
has made, and is making, and will
continue to make to the country. If
we write earnestly, if we state truths
unpalatable to some, let this be
attributed to the depth of our con-
victions and the magnitude of the
issue before the people.
This is subject upon which, we
confess, we feel warmly, because we
have reflected deeply. When we
look around us upon our beautiful
land-its genial climate, its teeming
soil; when we look upon the graves
of the gentle, the good. the great,
"twho were before u.s." when we turn
to the generous men and fair women
that meet us in daily contact; when
our eyes rest upon the trooping
children that gladden. life-we resolve
that, for one, we do not intend, with
out long political struggle, to give
up to egro-radical rule this old State
of ours. And this is The great issue
before as. The negro Constitution
has been adopted by negro votes, in
creased by few white votes. In all
probability, an eager Congress will
endorse this outrageous instrument,
and it will be foisted upon the State.
That Constitution disfranchises many
of the white men of the State, but
gives universal suffrage to the entire
horde of blacks. The blacks, rs
compared with the whites in this
State, have large numerical ma
jority. The Acknowledgement of the
whites increases their majority. The
practical effect, Men, Of The negro Con-
stitmion, is TO establish tie supremacy
or The domination Of The negro ouer The
uAte man in South Carolina. Not
satisfied with making the negro the
equal, radicnlism makes him, us much
as ii can, the superior of the white
man.
This is what is upon us, and yet
there are men who seem not to see
this, or, seeing it, not duly to realize
its vast enormity. Here we have
what never the world saw before. A
proud, enlightened, noble people Of
the Caucasian family, placed by their
brothers Of the white race North,
under the power of an inferior race
ignorant, weak-slaves yesterday
freedmen to-day-with no capacity
for governmcnt-the miserable tools
of moro miserable demagogucs. 1t
is true, this thing cannot last; it is
true, that this stupendous crime and
folly must react with fearful force
upon it's authors, aiders and cbettors.
But moment is too long for it to
last. Hence we repeat it, in the
spirit Of Cato, when time after time

committee was unanimously con-
Cured in. Addresses were delivered
by Colonels Thomas and, D. Wyatt
Aiken; and also by w. Myers. Plea
SAINT Goode. James Minor and others
are entitled to great credit for their
earnest efforts in this matter.
X. X. K.-As the fears of excitable
morals have been seriously aroused
by this mythical club, we deem it
necessary to speak plainly with refer
enee to it. That an oath-bound or
secret organization of the character
attributed to the "Ku Klux" exists in
Columbia, or even in the State, we
do not believe. And rs for the
Threatening" missives which have
been sent to different individuals, we
verify believe they can be traced to
such fun-!overs as appreciate "April
fools, "comic Valentines, "and such.
That political capital is being made
of the matter by interested persons,
and exaggerated statements, deroga-
tory to the peaceful character of
Columbia, have been forwarded to
the Commanding General, there is
not the shadow OF a doubt. This is
wrong in principle. Not an outrage
can be pointed to MS having been
committed by any of the "brother-
hood" so-callod. The posting of a
few hand-bills, decorated with cof-
fins, death-heads, ETC., is small proof
upon which to base such terrible
charges as, we are informed, have
been made to the authorities.
