Vhoughts upon Suffrage. From n
Letter Of Daniel II. Goodloe, of
North Carolina.--Continued.
No. 5.-UNJUsT AND IMpon1T1c TO
D1HFRANCHIsB THE WHITES.
It was, at best, a very hazardous
experiment to enfranchise the whole
illiterate black population OF ono fell
stroke; but to accompany 30 radical
change by the disfranchisement of
the governing class of whites, was to
turn society up side down. In Great
Britain, it would be only paralleled
if the nobility, the gentry, the pro-
fessional and the mercantile classes
were all put under the ban, while Tho
lowest OF the working classes, the
operatives in the factories, the col
liers in the mines, the farm laborers,
the itinerating Irishmen in pursuit of
jobs, and the paupers in the work
houses, were invested with the con-
trolling, if not the almost exclusive
right, to vote and to govern. I am
quite sure that the great and good
men who aro ut the head of the libe-
ral party in that country, would never
give their sanction to revolution SO
sweeping, and so subversive of civili-
zation and liberty. It will be remem-
bercd that your friend, Mr.. Bright,
was taken rather aback, few m onths
ago, when Disraeli, though IL conser-
vative or tory, i'll his party relations,
proposed and carried through Parlia-
ment an elective reform measure.
more radical than the liberals de-
manded. Mr.. Bright is regarded rs
an ultra liberal, yet for once, he
seemed to havo received more than
he bargained for, in the way of re-
form. His position, as a leader of
the reform party, forbade his COM
planning, but it was evident that he
was more than satisfied for the time.
What, then, would John Bright, if
he were OH this side of the Atlantic,
say to the proposition to turn over
the white people of tho South to tho
government of their former slaves?
We know what Goldwin Smith, an
other liberal leader, and like Mr..
Bright, great friend and admirer of
American institutions, thinks of this
policy. He unhesitatingly condemns
it, and thinks that Congress is placing
itself in the wrong before the world
by pushing its policy TO such ex-
tremes.

Correspondence Of tic Phenig.1
The PrcsIdency.

NORTH, June 2.-In Philadelphia,
]. saw On old Democratic politician,
named William L. Hirst, q lawyer of
some reputation there. He told me
Pennsylvania would present candi-
date for the Presidency, in the person
of Judge Packer, who, it seems, is
great man in that State, though
not known out of it.
New Jersey will pat forward e1-
GovernoA Parker. who is also n local
great man.
New York will present Mr.. Sey-
mour, who is better known, and Iii.
nois will present Mr.. Hendricks. Be-
sides these is General Hancock, who,
itseems, had something to do with the
trial of Mrs. Surratt, and gave great
offence to the Catholics, who are now
a power in this country which must
be conciliated. Then New York has
also Mayor Hoffman, and New Jersey
is also thinking of Mcclellan.
You will observe the selection of a
candidate for Presidency is full OF
difficulties.
Ny own desire to break down the
radical party is SO great that look
forward to tho meeting of the Con-
vention with a good deal of solici-
tude.
I am constantly asked, Who do the
South desire2 but I answer, The
South does not wish to choose the
South will most cheerfully acquiesce
IN the choice of those States which
can have some influence on the elec-
ton. It seems to me the Southern
delegates should be modest in the
expression of their preferences, and
heartily endorse tho candidate who
may unite tho strongest vote, even
though he may be Judge Chase.
do NOT think Chase has any
chance of nomination, but it may
be necessary to take him if the con-
servatives cannot harmonize on some
one Of the others.
My individual preference would be
to Reverdy johnson, Of Maryland,
but nobody is thinking of him.

TIE WASHINGTON ELECTION. In
the late municipal election, the radi-
cal candidate for Mayor, Sayles J.
Bowen, was elected by some seventy
four majority, upon total poll of
$4,000 votes. There arc over 5000
colored voters in the city, who voted,
with few exceptions, the radical
ticket. Now, when it is considered
that Congress over the District of
Columbia has exclusive legislation
in all cases whatsoever, and that for
the last seven years this legislation
has been directed to the object of
making Washington n radical CITY.
the result of this electson shows that
rndicalism, even in its central strong
hold, is an uphill business, and that
when the break in the fall fairly be-
gins-as now appears probable
against the reign of the radical party,
its overthrow will be ns signal and
decisive rs was the downfall and dis
solution of the old Wing party, in
, 1852. The Oregon election points

this precinct to-day, showing the fol-
lowing result: Number votes polled,
1856; whites, 10; colored, 76. Every
white man and twenty-five colored
voted the Democratic ticket. The
highest candidate on the Democratic
ticket received 1873 votes, and on the
radical land lie colored many Sc
votes-giving majority of II votes
in favor Of the Democratic candidate.
Quite number of the colored peo-
pie manifested deep interest in be-
half of the success of the Democratic
ticket. Many of the colored voters
preferred not to leave their farms to

voting having in q measure worn Off"

HOMETOWN, s. G., June T, 1868.
DEAR SIR: The head of the Union
League in this locality, S. G. W.
Dill by name, has been killed by
unknown persons. The negroes of his
party, who arc twenty times moro
numerous than the whites, have
sworn to revenge his death upon the
whole country. They are very much
aroused, and openly make their
threats. This man, VIC hear, in a
speech to them on Saturday, prior to
tho election, told them that he ex-
pected that he would be killed, and,
in case he was, they must cxtcrminatc
tie white race, from the cradle up,
and burn up the whole country,
which they solemnly promised to. do.
We fear they may undertake to carry
ont his wicked intentions.
Very respectfully,

COLUMBIA, S. c., June 8, 1868.
Editor Of the Daily Ph@nir- SIR:
We, the undersigned members of the
United States Military Patrol, most
respectfully request you to correct
the statement made in your issue OF
Sunday morning, the 7th inst, rela-
tive to the aforesaid patrol charging
and shooting one of the riotous
crowd of negroes, that so defiantly
paraded the streets of Columbia on
the previous night.
The facts are as follows: The ne
groes in question have of late made
themselves notoriously offensive by
their actions and language towards
certain members of the community.
and on more than one occasion have
overstepped the bounds of all law
and order, by discharging firearms
in the streets, endangering the lives
OF peaccable citizens, and otherwise
using opprobrious and obscene names
to every party whom they imagined
differed, i'll the slightest, from their
own peculiar principles or idea. On
the night Of the 9th instant, they ex-
ceeded in violence all their former
proceedings, by actually giving full
vent to their latent wickednQss and
savage propensities, and, it would be
difficult to say what damage might
have been done to life and property,
were they not timely and mercifully
frustrated in their intended destruc-
ton. In fact, we did not attempt to
charge on them till absolutely neces-
STATED to do so to prevent bloodshed.
Their excitement, on this occasion,
was greatly increased by having i'm
bibed a large share of bad liquor,
which was lavishly given them by
the Sheriff elect, and was the prima-
ry element in nronsing their spirit of
defiance. The man who is stated to
have been shot by the military, was,
on tho contrary, wounded by their
own party while we were endeavor-
ing to take deadly weapon from his
person, and there can be no doubt
but that the shot was intended for us.
We succeeded in capturing some
twenty of tho rioters, but the most
offensive succeeded in making their
escape.
BY giving tho above mentioned
facts an insertion in your next issue,
we shall feel extremely indebted.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. We fea. it
incumbent upon US thus publicly to
make our Acknowledgements to our
friends for their support. Our daily
and weekly issues are both receiving
regular and steady accessions to their
subscription lists. Let our friends
continue to aid us, and We shall go on
improving our journals until they
como up to their just expectations.
Progress is our motto, and 1t is meet
that from the capital of the State
there should emanate n paper the
equal OF any in the State. AS to our
principles, they have been distinctly
indicated. We advocate the indus
trial development of the State, the
investing of labor with dignity; and
in politics, we favor policy conser-
yativc, wise and iust-n policy Which,
whilst it recognizes the sentiments,
traditions and memories of the past,
is yet alive to the demands Of the
hour and the acquisitions Of the
future.
HE KILLING IN FAIRFIELD. We
are informed that whilst negro man,
one Dill and his wife, were sitting in
Dills house, they wero fred upon.
The negro man and Dill we're killed.
and Mrs. Dill wounded. Dill, we be-
licve, was the Senator elect for Kcr-
shaw District, under the recent Con
stitntion, and n violent radical, exert
ing much influenceamong the negroes
Of Kershaw District.
At whose hands, these parties met
their death, we do not know. In
any event, We regret the occurrence
and the necessity that deyolycs upon
us OF recording such an outrage in
our usually quiet and law-abiding
community. No doubt, TIC radicals
will parade this occurrence as nh eyi-
dcnce Of the so-callcd "rcbel" spirit,
and will seek to mako martyrs of the
men shot. Nor will they have the
manhood and justice to admit, ms did
tho Federal Commandant OF this
Post to the writer Of this piece, that
the sober sentiment Of the commu-
nifty condemns this act. by whomso-
ever committed.
1t matters not how obnoxious n
man may become, there is no excuse
for parties, either white or black, thus
taking the law in their own hands.
Since writing the above, wo learn
that quite an excitement prevails, in
the ncighborhood of the killing,
which is near Longtown, i'll Fairfield,
and not far from the kcrshaw line.
We believe that tho military anthori-
ties here have sent guard to pre-
servo the peace. 1t appears thnt
somo time ago, Dill made q speech to
tho negroes. wherein lie told them,
that if he should be killed, they must
avenSe his death upon tho whites and
kill them 'from the cradle up" The
negroes, we arc informed, have stop
ped work in that locality, and threat
en- mischief. Bat, we take it for
granted that the military will easily
put down any violence on theft part.
