Count Us Not Out.

In some reflections on the chances
Of Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia,
Texas and Arkansas being controlled
by the Southern conservatives, and
thus giving thirty-nine electoral votes
for the Democratic party, the New
York Herald takes it for granted that
the seven electoral votes of South
Carolina will be lost to the Demo
cracy. We beg the Herald not to-
take that for granted. The Demo
cratic party of South Carolina hope
to carry this State in the Presidential
election; and, fellow-citizens from
the mountains to the sea-board, we
con do it, if we but go to work.
Commence now--organize, exert
your influence; throw aside the sug.
gestions of men who are in favor Of
doing nothing. If your old leaders
arc not up to the emergency, find
new ones, and take them from the
ranks of the ardent, the true, the
Jealous, the hopeful.

Gen. Schofield's assurance to the
Virginia Constitutional Convention,
that, after years experience in adj
ministering the reconstruction laws,
he had found it would be practically
impossible to carry on the Govern
ment of Virginia us proposed in the
new Constitution on the basis of the
prescribed "iron-clad" oath, is simply
declaring the result which the Times
has insisted on from the first. If the
radicals will not allow enough Vir-
ginians to participate in the new
Government to made it self-ruling
community, they simply remand their
State to the arbitrary dictatorship of
military force. It must nilistb5o DC one Or the
other. The oath, which they per-
sistently adhere to, precludes the
first; the other is the only alterua-
tive. One or two eligible men in a
County, with programme of Go
vernment demanding from seven to
thirty ofice-holders, is an absurdity
too patent for argument. But the
Convention was consistent" and
the oath stands as it was-so does
reconstruction.-Ne,c York Times.

Tho True issue in tho Impeachment
In analyzing the impeachment
matter, the New York Times very
correctly says that the real question
OF issue is, qvhicA Of The too depart
naents has transcended the limits Of ais
constitutional authority. Since both
the executive and Legislative depart
ments of the Government derive all
their powers from the Constitution.
which has exceeded these powers?
This, we submit, is the gist of the
controversy; this is the whole matter
in nutshell; this is the sum and
substance of all the vast talk on tho
subject Thus we have question
of constitutional power between the
President on the one hand and Con-
gress on the other; and who is to
decide this question? Plainly, the
Supreme Court, before which the
President sought to bring the matter.
But instead Of this plain and estab-
ished mode of settling the point at
issue, the matter is for decision be-
fore the Senate-'one of the parties
directly concerned in the result"

A correspondent of the New York
Times, writing from Columbia, under
date of the 18th, says:
The contest of political parties in
creases in spirit rs the day of cleo
tion draws nearer.
A grand rally Of the Democratic
party was held here night before last
Thursday, the 9th. The meeting
was large, and attended by both
races. Col. j. p. Thomas was the
leading spirit. His opening speech
was we'll received; because ho is
known by oil parties to be n mode
rate man-a man of steadiness and
conservatism. His speech dealt large
ly i'll cautions to the blacks against
indulging in the hope of long-con-
tinued power, should they come into
power ut all. He reminded them
that they stand in the South with
regard to the whites 100000, to
5000, ,000-or rs one to two; nnd in
the United States rs q whole they
stand 100000 to about 30, 100000.
The other main point of his speech
was an emphasis upon the identity of
interest on the part of the two races
the pact made in mass meeting be-
tween them in 1865.
Speeches wero made by Capt Bach
man, Mr.. Gibbes (nominees of the
party for the State Legislature) and
Col. Haskell, of the State University.
The burden and aim of all these we're
to impress upon the negroes mind
the idea that the best friend of the
negro is the Southern white man.
The last mentioned called the ne
groes attention to the fact that their
present political leaders are, in some
noted instances, those who were, in
the days of slavery, cruel and oppres-
sive task-masters. This fact tells
with damaging effect upon some of
the radicals leaders of this place.
At the close of the meeting, Col.
Thomas made summary of the
sentiments of the evening, by pro-
posing three cheers for "the North
ern white men who supported the
Democratic party, for the Southern
white men who supported the De-
mocratic party, and for the Southern
colored men who supported the De-
mocratic party" The three cheers
were given heartily and with will.
The meeting was regarded as success.

There can no longer be q doubt
that one of the first subjects for
legislation contemplated by the radi-
Gals ut the conclusion of tho impeach-
ment trial, is the reorganization of
the Supreme Court. Having pos
session of both branches of Congress,
their tactics are of the simplest
kind; they find it cheaper and easier
to remove opposition than to en-
counter it, and accordingly intend
making a new arrangement of dis
tricts and circuits, by which Chief
Justice Chase and every other occu-
pant OF the Supreme Court, not in
harmony with radical interests, will
be legislated out of Office. This
style of craftsmanship, though open
to few trifling objections on the
score ofjustice, right and patriotism,
is yet eminently practical. We know
it IS, in many instances, cheaper to
buy the judge than fee the lawyer,
and what is the use of defending
usurpations before the Supreme
Court when the radicals can SO readi-
ly make the same court particeps
criminiS9 Thus, one by one, every
safeguard of liberty is slipping away
from the people, who will learn, pos
sibly only when too late, that tho
Chains they are forging for the South
will be riveted on their own limbs.

New STYLE OF INVITATIONS. "A
lady who occupies o distinguished
position in Partisan society, has
adopted new system of sending out
invitations, which is lik, to be
generally initiated. Instead of a
pompous card requesting the honor
of the presence of Monsieur or
Madame So-and-So at dinner or ball,
she writes on tho bottom of her own
visiting card, "Ball on the 29th,"
"Dinner on the 6th," @ the case
may bo, puts it into an envelop and
addresses it to the person she wants
to receive. In that way she saves
herself II great deal OF trouble, and
makes her invitation more cordial
and graceful, by stripping it of q
stiff and solemn formality.

Augusta Constituiionalist says that
those who strew flowers over the
graves Of departed heroes will feel
that the quiet dreamers in the dust
are far happier than those who still
walk the rugged paths of q distracted
world. Our martial countrymen
failed in their high emprise, but
gained blessed release from the
woes the living are compelled to en-
dure. For them the wreath of wild
howers-for us the crown of thorns.
The following verses, from the pen
of most gifted lady Of Augusta,
will speak the sentiments of all true
men and women. They cannot fail
to stir the pulses with unusual thrills:
I heard long since q simple strain;
It brought no thrill of Joy or pain,
Nor did L care to hear again,
Our Dixie.
But time rolled on, and drum and fife
Gave token of coming strife,
And called our youth to soldier life,
With Dixie.
It breathed of mingled hope and fear;
It banishod peace, brought discord
near,
And cost each mother many q tear,
That Dixie.
For gathering legions marched away,
And garlands maidens wreathed each
day,
To crown them for the fierce array,
In Dixie.
The husband parted from the wife,
And from the aged, his staff of life,
In some fair boy, whose head was
rife
For Dixie.
And so our treasures, one by one,
All by the battlefield were won;
They heard at morn and setting sun,
Our Dixie.
But soon Death claimed the young
and brave;
Valor or beauty could not savo
Our darlings from q soldiers grave,
In Dixie.
Their blood flowed on the fresh green
hill;
1t mingled with the mountain rill,
And poured through wales once calm
and still,
In Dixie
The ocean caught the crimson stain,
And moancd and moaned that trou-
bled main,
For those who would not come again
To Dixie.
The living rallied to their stand;
Their war,cry was their "Native
Land"
But sadder from the lessening band
Came Dixie.
Yet still it reused to deeds of fame,
And made immortal many q name,
And never caused q blush of shame,
Our Dixie.
The dying boy its music caught;
| 81 do not die in vain," he thought
Freedom by death and blood are
bought,
For Dixie.
Sleep on, young soldier, with thy
dream;
Well didst thou die with that bright
gleam
Of hope. to shed its parting beam,
For Dixie.
There's many sad heart living now.
Would rather in thy young grave
bow,
Than see his country laid SO low,
Sad Dixie.
I draw the veil; each stricken heart
Must mourn its own lost ones apart;
In every eye tear will start
For Dixie.
We may not hear that simple strain
Ever without thrill of pain
