It is the law of Kentucky, lately
enacted, that the legal representatives
of any person killed or injured by
the careless use of firearms may
have an action against the person
who commits the deed. Such law,
strictly enforced everywhere, might
shorten the chapter of accidents
with which most nev spapers are
filled.

"Conmon Ground"
The New York Times says:

r. tsThe Ricl,nnnd Wa:1 !W:a::1 20 30 unGuiy
touohy. It resents our asking if the
Southern people at large are willing
to take the same ground as the De-
mocratic Convention in South Caro-
lima took in favor of qualified negro
suffrage? why vex the ear with
such fruitless questions2' says the
Whig. If that journal will look
again, 1t will see that the object of
our question was to ascertain whether
there is not some common ground on
which reasonable men in both sec
tions can unite hereafter. IF such O
question tvexes the Southern ear
more than the drum and fife under
which universal negro suffrage is en-
forced upon them, it is .. certainly
'profitless. -
We heartily concur with the Times
in the spirit of its comments. It is
very desirable to find some common
ground on which reasonable men of
both sections can unite. But let the
Times bear in mind that the path of
radicalism does not lead to that
ground. ~ e:
Mr.. EDITOR: A rumor is aaoat that
there is radical candidate announced
for the Presidency of the Greenville
and Columbia Railroad. If this be
SO, it is hoped that all stockholders
will sec that their true interests is
represented-either in person or by
proxy-at the annual meeting to

The satisfactory report of Presi-
dent Hammett. published in last

management of the affairs of the
road for the past year, and should
entitle him to reelection. If his
numerous friends among the stock
holders will have their proxies drawn
up, stamped, and sent down by re-
sponsible parties, this object can
easily be effected.

. The Infamous Test Oath.

Even Northern men and journals
are beginning to realize the folly of
excluding from Office the best men
in the South-as they are excluded
through the operation of the test
oath, which not one honest man in
thousand in the South Gun take. It
will be remembered that Gen. Sickles
suggested the modification of the
operation of the oath. So, too, Gen.
Meade and Gen. Schoield have felt
it their duty to protest against that
oath, which invites to perjury and
fixes infamy. Truly does the New York
Times say, thatthe Objects to keep the
State Government in the hands of
"the ignorant negro multitudes" and
tthe knavish white adventures,
who arc now affecting the South, and
especially our State. And thus, as
even the Times admits, the nearer we
approach the promised land of radi-
cal reconstruction, the greater seem
the obstacles in the way, At every
step, lions spring up and tigers
fierce rise up in the way. The road
to peace and genuine reconstruc-
ton, involving the cooperation of
the Southern people, lies in another
direction-and sooner or later must
the whole country realize this.

Gen. Sherman's residence, in st.
Louis, was entered by burglars, on
Wednesday night, and small lot of
silver stolen.
Did this silver come from South
Carolina? Or perhaps the burglars
thought it WAS Buffers residence.

TEE Democracy are rendering that sen
timent 10 human nature which glories in
cheating one q fellows, even when one makes
nothing for ones sslf. IT is 8 penehasf for
rsscality for its own sake, which sometimes
crops outand secures general attention.
All Democratic politicians possess more or
less Of this proclivity, and most of them haze
been cultivating it very. sedulously for years
past. They delight In cheating and hnmbug,
and they think thst all men are like unto
themselves in that respect. Hence, they
feel confident that Reputation, under some
thin disguise to cheat the public creditors,
must prove popular with the masses of the
people.
They forget that the masses are mot de-
moraizsd 70 the fun extent of the leaders Of
the party, and that II is very different thing
to go to work to cheat the public creditors, il
iteeala be aeHe with ilnpuuity to themselves,
from whatit is when the act will bring down
the whole fabric OF currency, finance, busl-
ness and credit about onr own ears. The
peoplemay be strong as Sampson, but they
are not so blind as to destroy themselves BY
wrenchiDg away the pillars which sustain the
fabric Of our prosperity, and overwhelm
themselves in ruin for the sake of Furnishing
the widows and orphans and richer bondhold-
ers who may be so fortunate or unfortunate
as to hold the bonds of the United States.
They will not drown themselves in deluge
OF shinplaster greenbaeks for the sake of
drenching the bondholders in a shower
thereof
Honesty is the best policy--pasrioiism is
the highest virtue Of the citizen. And hon,
esty and patriotism demands the election of
General Grant, and thereby the prosperity Of
the country will be restored and placed on
firm and enduring foundation, greenbacks
will rise in value to par with gold, specie
payments viii be resumed, and the rapid de.
yelopment of the resources and wealth Of the
country will enable us to pay the public debt
when IT becomes dne without 4 sigh or q
groan.
