Gross MISREPRESENTATION.

Groas Misrepresentation.
SayS she Kew iork i;17iioiusue, inyre-
ference to the negro Constitution of
this State, Z, =, * =
"The new Constitution is liberal
and just in its provisions. The Com
vention that made it embraced many
excellent citizens of ample qualifica-
tion for the work, and in spite of the
ceaseless food of vituperation poured
upon its members by o malignant
and unscrupnlous press, .its work was
calmly, carefully, properly done,
'sWe are glad to feel assured that
the white men of South Carolina
have at least acduiesced in this re.
construction. II she indications
given of the vote as far as received
hold out. it must show that, while q
great many whites stayed away from
the polls. q very creditable number
came up and voted squarely for the
Constitution" ~
"The new Constitution is liberal
and just in it's provisions. See ex-
Gov. Perry's and Hon. A. Burt's
analyses of the instrument. F"The
Convention that made it embraced
many excellent citizens Of ample
qualification for the work" Read
the Mercury's sketches, and recall
the names of Bowen, and Corley,
and Leslie, and Nash, and Mackey,
and Hurley, and Gard oza, and id
o1sne genus. ''We are glad to feel
assured that the white men of South
Carolina have at least acquiesced in
this reconstruction. Consult the
returns, and SEQ that not two per
cent. of the whites voted for the
Constitution. And even of those
who voted for it, most of them were
seduced into thus voting by the
homestead blandishment and d few
other deceptive features, which were
to sugar-coat the nauseous pill that
Doctor Black had prepared for Mr..
White. And yet the Tribune has the
assurance to claim that the "white
men of South Carolina have at least
acquiesced in this reconstructionl'
We refer Mr.. Horace Greeley to his
own words, and let him consider how
for they are applicable to himself:
"But of all evil doers, the political
liar-one who habitually and enor-
mously falsifes occurrences and sta
tistics, thereby deceiving and mis-
guiding honest. well-meaning men,
whose leisure and opportunities for
studying documents are inferior to
his OWNS among the basest and
most wicked. He is like n bellige-
rent who poisons fountains, burns
hospitals and decoys the enemy into
his power by displaying q flag of
distress. No malefactor more richly
deserves the scorn and execration Of
mankind"
Let the Tribune understand that the
white men of this State do not acqui-
csce in the radical Constitution, and
ncoer auin. To do so would be treason
against reason, treason against COM
mon sense, and rank treason against
their race.

The Golden hIenn.

|s.v..,,s sXhe Goldfn mean. ,,t.,- - 4
On the vexed question Of the CO.
lored man, which now seems to alb
sorb public attentions to the exclusion
Of almost every other subiecs, there
arc TWO policies proposed. The one
is general suffrage for the negro; the
other is total denial to the black man
of the exercise Of this trust.
As to universal suffrage, that is a
doubtful policy even in an educated
and refined community. AS il has
been truly said, ''it is the death of
true liberty; it is the death Of law
and the exaltation of popular ca
price" It leads, to anarchy, and
anarchy leads to despotism. And if
this be true Of any community, more
especially true is it of the recently
emancipated black men of the South.
To give them universal suffrage is
an outrage and blunder that no.
thing but party madness could enter
tain. On, the other hand. to deny
these people suffrage in toto is, as
we hold, neither right as an abstract
principle, nor expedient IS matter
of policy. We admit. that this is,
pa, excellence, a white mans country,
for he founded and established his
dominion here. The civilization is
his, and it was his genius and impe-
rial power that wrought the wonders
of this continent. In this vast work,
for $50 years, the muscle of the
black man was used, but it was the
intellect Of the white man that in
spired, controlled and impelled the
progress of tho land. But all this
does not lead us to the conclusion
that, because of the numerical and
mental and general superiority of the
white race, it logically follows that
they OF an inferior race should be
divested of all suffrage.
If, then, neither of these extreme
propositions is tenable, what is the
conclusion? We submit that the
mean between the two extremes sug-
gests the true solution of the pro-
blem. Hence our advocacy of q
qualified suffragefor the colored man
"A political ground upon which all
conservatives, North and South, can
unite, and, meeting together, resolve
that thus disposing of the everlasting
negro question, they will move on in
grand and harmonious effort TO
make our common country the abode
of wealth, prosperity and kindly
feeling.

thus taken the responsibility of re-
construction. shonld be in no haste

bill for the admission of all the

not yet satisfied that the disloyal
people of those States can be trusted,
and are not convinced that to with
draw from the South the control of
Congress would not result in surren-
dering it into the control of rebels.
If Georgia should be granted repre-.
sentation in Congress tomorrow, and
her military government removed.
we are much afraid that impartial
suffrage in that State would become
a mockery and farce" a

A Great Spring and Summer
INVIGORATOR AND RESTOREF

INvIGORATOR AND RESTORER.
NOV IS THE @ TIME ME TO Gle. CLEANSE OUT
corrupt sores, which POLLUTE the LIFE
of the BLOOD, and render your body a
loathesome thing. They are the precur-
eors Of diseased blood, and will assume
q much more formidable shape if allowed
to go on unchecked. The QUEENS DE-
LIGHT, the only real blood purifier that
to-day attest, is offered to the afflicted as
o positive remedy for all diseases flowing
from vitiated condition of the system.
THE LIFE OF THE FLESH Is PURE
BLOOD. Upon this theory alone the in
ventor Of the Queens Delight establishes
the great hygienic law, WITHOUT PURE
BLOOD NO FLESH Is FREE FROM DIS
Yellow Faces. Weak Stomachs, Diseased
Livers, Crippled Rheumatics, Nervous
Hypocho chondriacs, Dyspeptic Victims of
Headache, so common in this country, is
owing entirely to the humors of the blood.
Very many other diseases may be traced to
bad blood, Scrofula or Kings Evil, Erysi-
pelas, Exauthema or Elevure, rash or
Goitre or Swelled Neck, Syphilis and Sy-
philitic Sores, Strumous Ulcers, &c.
These cannot be cured without purifying
the blood. Now as to the remedy. There
is no other blood purifier that will accom-
plish such positive and extraordinary cures
as Heinitsh's Queens Delight. You may
take barrel of extract sarsaparilla, and
Of it, look around and you will observe the
country, throughout its length and
breadth, is flooded with compound Sarsa-
parillas, extracts and syrups, claiming to
be blood purifiers, and yet we see to-day
more evidence of impurity of the blood
than ever. Why is this? Simply because
these extracts and Sarsaparillas are worth
less medicines.
Tie Queens Delight is new compound,
and is now the great blood medicine; sane
toned by the profession, patronized by the
highest dignitaries of the land, endorsed
by everybody.
In the brief period of twelve months,
over 5000 cases have been treated so sue
cessfully as to entitle it to be the wonder
of the age.
For debility, prostration, nervousness,
mental depression, impaired digestion,
loss of appetite, restesness, want of vital
force. Low spirits; it is more invigorat-
ing and strengthening than all the COM
pounds of bark or bitters. As liver
invigorator, it is Of inestimable value. AS
stimulant, it is safer and surer than all
the rum and whiskey tonics of the day,
and if you value your life and health a
pins fee, avoid these quickening stimu-
lants to the grave and use the Queens
Delight. Ask for Heinitsh's Queens De-
light. This is not the Extract of Stellin-
gia or Queens Delight. nor is it Com
pound Syrup OF Queens Delight, or Sarsa-
parilla and Queens Delight, but simply
Heinitsh's Queens Delight is the trade
mark. Ask for this if you want to be
cured, and see that the name of L. H.
Heinitsh is on the wrapper. Prepared only
by E. H. Heinitsh. Wholesale agents,
