The Charleston papers animadvert in severe terms
upon the singular course General Candy has pursued
in this matter The Mercury observes:- complaints
are useless and exhibitions Of impotent rage are
puerie. We, therefore, earnestly hope that our
fellow citizens will bear this burden also, as they
have borne 30 many before as becomes brave men;
and above ali things avoid anything by word or
deed, that might lead TO disturbance Our enemies
would like nothing better than to be able TO say that
the appointment, by military authority, of negro
Aldermen had produced a riot in Charleston. We
have ever been peaceable people, and we must en-
deavor to keep up the reputation OF our city in this
respect and AVOID furnishing material TO the radical
revolutionists in the coming political campaign. We
want no New Orleans and Memphis riots in Charles
ton-no bleeding Kansas for electiOneering hOwling
Let this revolutionary regime play out"
The Courier has the followlng:-"The secret of
this order, without parallel and without any rea-
sonable foundation, we can only surmise In the re-
cent visit Of the republican cOlored committee.
These protested against the order postponing the
election. This order General Candy could not with
consistency or self-respect recall. He has surren-
dered, however practically to their demand. He has
acceded to their views in turning out thirteen Of the
Aldermen against whom there Is neither accusation,
spot or stain, and by simple military order inau-
gurated the very rule which his postponement Of
the city election intended to avoid. Not only 80,
but he has inaugurated test oath which even the
proposed new constitution does net require"

posesr al do sir; helped to raise $50, 600 not long
ago for such purpose" (The OF the committee
prcked up at once) "You viii state to the court
what use was made OF ~" at was used" replied
Weed, "to enable the republicans to carry the New

Weed was permitted to 60 out "with the apple
