ANOTHER IMPEACHMENT SCHEME.

ANOTHER IMPEACHMENT SCHEME.
Incredible as it may seem, another
movement for impeachment is on
foot, and Thaddeus Stevens will
introduce new articles, and move
their reference to select committee,
with instructions to report at some
future day. When before that Com
mittee, they will remain there until
the Representative from the South
ern States are in, when Mr.. Stevens
believes they will be carried through
the House and conviction in the
Senate be assured. The intention of
the mover is not generally known in
the House, and it will, doubtless,
cause considerable commotion. These
articles charge the President with
abuse of the pardoning power, in
issuing pardons to rebels and de-
serters from the Union army for the
especial purpose of securing their
support of his schemes; also, abuse
of the patronage of the Government
by inducing obstruction in the exc
cution of the reconstruction laws of
Congress-; also, violation of the Con-
stitution, in establishing provisional
governments in the South without
the consent or advice of Congress;
and, lastly, in using corruptly the
patronage of the Government to
influence the elections that have been
held within the last three years.

a Card from MIR. sparnicIs.

To THE EDITOR OF THE PHOENIX:
My attention has been directed to q
communication in your issue of the
Oath inst, over the signature of
CONSERVATIVE Democrat,n' covering
an article from the-N New York Times,
in which that journal, amongst other
things in reference to the proceed
ings of the, recent Democratic Con-
vention of this State, says: "Mr.
Sparnick, one of the Secretaries, de-
clared that he would never consent
that when he approached the ballot
box a son Of Africa should stand by
his side as his equal" Commenting
upon which, conservative Demo
crat" says: "Mr. Sparnick, General
Gary, and Others, have their peculiar
views, and let them have those
views"
In justice to myself, I beg to cor
rect the Times, and disabuse your
correspondent of any erroneous i'm
preston he may have derived from
its statement. 1 did not participate
in any of the debates of the Conven-
tion, nor did utter single remark
in its sessions upon the question of
suffrage. My reticence, however,
was the result of no indisposition to
express myself freely had I felt that
the occasion required me to do so;
but in the absence of any defined
issue in the matter of suffrage, I pre-
ferred to employ my humble capaci-
ties exclusively in facilitating, as one
of its Secretaries, the work Of Con-
vention which happily accomplished
SO much for the unification OF the
Democratic elements of our glorious
old State.
I am free to add, that, when the
matter of suffrage comes squarely
before our people, as question Of
State policy, your correspondent will
find me in the ranks of progressive
Democracy, which, while uncompro-
misingly, in principle, is opposed to
paying a premium for ignorance,
will be neither so illiberal nor short
sighted as to withhold the ballot
from those who are sufficiently quail
fed to exercise it.
These, and not those reported, in
the Times, are my peculiar views"
and, when the proper time for so
doing shall arrive, trust that neither
my voice nor my pen will wax weak
in urging them upon the people of
this State. HENRY SPARNICK.
CHARLESTON, June "a, 1868.
We publish the above card with
pleasure. We presume that the
error of our correspondent arose
from confounding the name of our
friend, Mr.. Sparnick, with that of
Mr.. Spain, who we know did express
himself in the language incorrectly
attributed to Mr.. Sparnick.

" Seize md Reverse the Enemy's
Guus.''

" Seize md Rcvorso the Enemy's
Guns.''
The World asks: "Will the South.
ern whites attempt to carry their
own States ?" We answer for this
State, regarded the most hopelessly
radical of all, that we certainly shall
make the effort; and, further, we
feel that, if brave, and united, and
vigorous effort be made, that even
South Carolina may be redeemed
from radical control. If sixteen of
thirty one Districts have been carried
by the Democracy, in the recent elec-
tion, there is certainly q good chance
of Democratic success in the Presi-
Dental canvass. But, we will say to
the World, that the interest and
enthusiasm with which the whites of
the South will go into the Presiden-
tial canvass, will depend upon the
principles and animus of the Demo-
cratic Convention of July next.
Give us fair showing. Offer us a
hopefu! future. Recognize the Cau-
casian sympathies of the country.
Redeem the pledges you have made.
Fulfill the reasonable expectations of
the Southern people, and they will
go to work, con espirito. And they
will make strong effort to "soize
and reverse the enemy's guns"

POLITICAL GOSSIP. is under
stood that General Scott, as the Go
vernon elect of the State, will issue
his proclamation, convening the
Legislature, as soon as it is announc-
ed that tho omnibus bill has been
passed over the veto of the President.
The time fixed for the meeting will
probably be the 18th of July. Not
much is expected of the body, how
ever, for the first ten days. They
will meet, organize, inaugurate
officers, the out going Governor will
deliver his yaledictory and message,
the in coming Governor will make
his official bow, and the body will
ratify the fourteenth amendment to
the Constitution.
Those who have seen it, say that
the message of General Scott is O
temperate and conservative docu-
ment.
He has appointed, as his private
Secretary, Mr.. Il. J. Mackey, the
"Vidette" of the Washington Chroni-
| Gle.
We learn that active efforts are
being made in Washington to prevent
the "Hon." G. G. Bowen, the Con-
gressman elect, from taking his seat.
The opposition to him is said to be
of purely personal character, based
upon evidence that has been fur
nished by those who have known
him for many years. The facts
therein alleged nre Of very damag-
ing character, and, should they be
substantiated, his seat will undoubt-
edly be declared vacant
The conflict thickens between the
contestants for the Senatorship. The
Legislature will elect, and all that
diplomacy and party machinery can
do, in behalf of the respective candi-
dates, is being done with vim to
make proselytes. Several strong
teams are being matched against
each other, and something is bound
to give if lhe traces don't break. The
leading aspirants are DIR. A. G.
Mackey, the Collector of the Port,
Mr.. F. A. Sawyer, the Assessor of
the Internal Revenue of this District,
and Rev. B. T. Whittemore, who,
not being satisfied as member of
Congress elect, is doing his hand
soonest to take the inside track in the
Senatorial race.
Mr.. j. M. Rutland, of Fairfield,
member Of the Convention, is can
didate for the short term, and will
probably be chosen, although the
Convention pledged itself to support
Mr.. T. j. Robertson, of Columbia.

Mrs. Pollard, wife of the "Lost
Cause" historian. is again in trouble.
A short time ago, she had difficulty
with her landlady, and grand fisti-
cuffiana was the result. She was put
under bond, to keep the peace, for
$500. Her husband was fred upon
by the infuriate lady, when he en-
deavored to obtain divorce from
her. At last accounts, she had
taken poison, but it did not work.
She appears to be the victim Of
unfortunate circumstances.

A Prudent md Important Suggcs-
tion.

Prudent md Important Sugges-
tion.
Conservative Journals North sug-
gest to the South, that it is a. mistake
to suppose that the Northern Demo
.cracy expect to win an easy victory
in the coming Presidential election.
It is grave error to under-rate your
enemy's power and resources. These
sensible journals tell us that the radi-
calls are powerful, and strongly en-
trenched, and further, that the main
fight is to be made North. If this
be the case-and it is the case m ost
emphatically-what is incumbent upon
us Of the South? Why, most plainly,
to be moderate in our demands, to
make concessions that are reasonable,
and to aid our Northern allies in
every possible way.
Practically, Democracy will pre-
vail North by getting in moderate
Republicans, and South by control
ing the negro vote. Let us, if pos
sible, unite upon platform and
man that will accomplish, as far as
possible, both objects. At the same
time, we should firmly maintain the
reasonable aud just claims of the
Southern whites.

"MoN1ToRs. "-Messrs. Fisher &
Heinitsh have on exhibition, at their
establishment, basket of extra
large and fine potatoes, with the
above invincible title, grown in the
garden of Captain J. P. Thomas.
These potatoes are q new variety,
and are mealy and very pleasant to
the taste. We are indebted to Cap
tain Thomas for mess. Only think
of it-one potato is enough for any
ones dinner, and enough left for
wafer fry for breakfast These speci-
mems show, conclusively, that the
Captain has been putting his muscles
as we'll as his brains, into practical
use. The potatoes may be seen at
the store of our neighbors above
mentioned.
THE PAnMETroEs. company,
as we stated few days ago, is push

pleting their engine house. At the
same time, having an eye to the pub
lie good, they arranged for the con-
struction of light reel, or "plug- 9
snatcher," MS it is generally termed.
With the reel, two men can proceed
at rapid rate to fire, attach the
hose to plug, and be ready to sup
ply the engine with water. And
real convenience it is, too. The
company, last night, proceeded to
"wet" the new machine, and Jolly
time they had of it, too. ale was
the beverage, so "nobody was hurt. >
The new machine was constructed as
follows: The wood work by Mr.. A.
Wedenfeller; the iron work by M
E. Hearne; painting by Mr.. James
Milne; painting and vanishing of
the box and lettering, by Mr.. G. G.
Newton. NJ. II. Berry, Esq, pre-
pared the aforesaid box-all gratui-
tously. In conclusion, we wish the
"Palmettoes" entire success in all
their undertakings.
