PURGE THE SENATE. E.-The disap-
pointed radicals propose to expel the
independent Senators. The Wash
ington Chronicle says:
"If in the Conflict there are Sena-
tors who stand in her way, they will
not do so after her private accounts
with them have been settled. We
still expect to see Andrew johnson
convicted of the charges upon which
he has been tried, and the lawyers
conspiracy subjected to an overthrow
which can scarcely be moro inglo-
rlous than the brief triumph over
which its abettors are now tiniorowsl,,
chuckling."

The Mission TO WAsH1NGroS.-
The State Central Executive Commit
tee of the Democratic party, sent q
Committee to Washington to protest
against the adoption of the negro
Constitution. How far that commit
tee may be successful in adverting
the dreadful calamity of the ratifica,
tlon OF such fundamental law, re-
mains yet to be seen. Certainly the
thanks OF the whole State are due to
the committee for their action, and
especially to Col. j. P. Thomas for
the manly and able address made be-
lore the Congressional Committee on
Reconstruction.-Sumter Neus.

In New York State thero is no love
for anything that looks like miscege-
nation. The eternal negro" is now
kicked and abused on all sides, and
what is allowed by the reconstruction
Constitution of Carolina is decided
to be illegal by the Supreme Court at
Buffalo. A colored girl, it seems, on
tered one of the white schools in that
city, and was permitted by the teach
or to remain. Complaint was made
to the superintendent, who decided
that the girl must leave the school.
InIs brought the matter before the
supreme Court, which ruled against
the right of colored children to at
tend any school except those designed
for them exclusively.

The ELECTIONS Both CERTAIN AND
PERMANENT. There is now little
doubt that the elections for county
and municipal officers will take place
on the second and third of June.
The time is so close that it would not
be easy to disseminate, throughout
the State, information of post
ponement, before the time original
ly appointed, and it is not likely
that the order would be rescinded
without m application being made
by the Commissioners of Elec-
tions appointed by the late Con-
ventioD, at whose urgent solicitation
the order is understood to have been
issued. This application is not pro-
bable, rs delay would weaken the
radicals and strengthen the conserva-
tives. Minds must he made up that
the elections will come off rs now or
dered, and the fight must be made
once for all.
Nor is there any ground for the
common belief that the elections held
in June will be but temporary in
their character, and require new
SiOScioii 40 oOOH Uu0 civil
ment is restored. General Candy or
dered the elections, not under The old
State Constitution, or the new State
Constitution, but under the para
mount authority of the Rcconstruc-
tion Acts. The elections being held
according to the requirements of
these Acts, will be legal in their
character, and cannot be set aside by
the new civil power which springs
from the same source-the authority
of Congress. This is the view taken
by the military authorities, and it
may be assumed to be correct. But
whether the coming elections be.per-
manent and legal or not, there is no
hope that they will be annulled if the
radical ticket is elected, and it is
only in the event Of conservative
victory that there will be any danger
Of new election.
For all practical purposes, it may
bo assumed that the elections will be
ieid us ordered, and that they viii 10
permanent in their character. Found
ing our action upon this assumption,
is it not our only wise and sensible
plan to direct all our strength to Sc
curing the election of tho respecta-
bio conservative candidates?

HE TEST OATH.-In the order di-
recting the assembling of the South
Carolina Legislature, General Candy
prescribed that the members elect
should subscribe to the "test oath. "
The following paragraph, which ap-
pears in the Northern papers, indi-
Gates that Gen. Candy has made n
mistake, and that the oath will not
be required:
According to Washington tcle-
gram, General Grant has instructed
General Meade that the oath pre-
scribed by the Reconstruction Acts
to be taken by all persons elected
or appointed to Office in tho so
called States of the South, is not to
be taken by those elected under any
new Constitution which may be
adopted, unless the Constitution it.
self SO provides. IS"
Some time ago General Meade ex-
pressed tho opinion that the mem
bers of the Georgia Legislature
would be required to take the test
OATH Recent advices from Georgia.
however, state that he has arrived at
different conclusion, and that the
members elect will be allowed to take
their seats on subscribing to the oath
required by the Constitution recently
adopted. We incline to the opinion
that the test oath will not be re-
qnired of any officer in this State, as,
after the Constitution shall be ac-
cepted by Congress, thore will be an
end of the $50 called" States, and

Elements OF pro.per,.y.

Although the present actual condi-
ton OF business in the South and West.
says the New York Daily Bulletin, is
far from satisfactory, yet the future
prospects OF these sections are most
encouraging. The general business
depression throughout the country is
operating to build up the North and
West with all the elements of an
enduring prosperity. Capital and
labor are flowing there at q rate that
has never been excelled in former
years, and it is not in the nature of
things that they should fail to pro-
duce their usual results of increased
wealth and development. The emf
grafton is both native and foreign.
Thousands of the better class of arti i.
zans In our Northern and Eastern
cities, disgusted with the difficulties
OF living and the precariousness of
employ Inen1, are carrying their
energy and their capital to new fields
OF labor. The West and South are
filling up from the North. In mahy
New England towns, organized sys-
TENS have been established for the
promotion of emigration. In Wor-
cester, Mass, company Of thirty
persons, mostly heads of families and
men of capital, are going to settle in
Missouri, to form the nucleus of q
larger New England settlement in
that State. In Boston, Springfield
and other towns, there has been n
large depletion of tho best class of
the population. OF number of
excellent mechanics recently dis
charged from the Springfield Ar
mory, q large proportion Immediately
went West and South with their fami-
lies and their savings. The rush to
California from this and other East
ern States has been larger this year
than in any year since the "Califor-
man fever" subsidized. All who go,
we are informed, readily obtain en-
ployment at good wages.
The tide of foreign immigration is
likely to be largely increased this
year. There may be falling off in
Ireland, but there will be a large
increase from Germany-and of the
better class. Advices from the Ger
man ports represent that the emigra-
tion IS only limited by the means of
transportation. Nearly all these
emigrants carry with them more or
less funds, amounting in the aggre-
gate to an enormous sum. Com
paratively few of the Germans re-
main IN our cities. They generally,
and wisely, depart for the interior.
Al! this new labor and capital must
exercise powerful influence in de-
veloping the resources of the West
and South-for a large and constant
iy. increasing proportion Of both
labor and capital are now flowing
into the Southern States. Furnish
eu wl.h the most essential elements
of sound prosperity, we may expect
results that will gradually diffuse new
life and energy through our entire
country.

by the adoption, in the majority of

stltutlons securing equal civil and po-
ltical rights to all; and it is the duty
OF the Government to sustain those
institutions, and to prevent the
people of those States from being re-
mitted to q state of anarchy.
2. The guarantee by Congress of
equal suffrage to all loyal men at the

maintained; while the question of
suffrage in all the loyal States
properly belongs to the people of

Avalanche for 1868.
PRICE REDUCED

A desperate struggle will be made
by The Radical party to select for the
next President, in November, either
Grant or Wade, pledged to the doc
trinc Of negro equality in the North,
and Of negro supremacy in NIL the
Southern States. To this party we
are enemies, and will do all 10 defeat
and utterly overthrow il. We are
the political and personal foe of the
party or the man who advocates the
doctrine Of negro supremacy. The
carpet bag adventures who, by con-
trolling the negroes, hope to get into
Office, and by usurpation, by partial
legislation, and by force will perpet-
uate their power, We will, as hereto
fore, denounce as enemies of the white
race, to be despised and excluded
from all political and social inter
course. We are for a white mans
government, to becontrolled by white
men and by none others.
The Weekly Avalanche will be
sent to clubs of ten for two dollars
and fifty cents, each copy, per year,
and an extra copy to those who send
us a club of ten. Toclubs of twenty
we charge two dollars per year, and
two extra copies sent to the person
who gets up the club.
