Tie Central Committees
addsess.


We regret that the want Of
space in our little paper, prevents
US from publishing the very able
Address, recently put forth by
the State Central Committee.
We have read the document
very carefully; and, In the main,
can fully endorse everything it
says, except in regard to the fran
chiss question. 1t takes grounds
against the good old Republican
doctrine Of Universal Freedom,
and "he Equality Of all Men Be-
fore The Law," which We have
nailed u our Asg-stsf > and. Of

can faith, and diaer with the RAdi.

When the Committee say that
the Republican party is undivided
on this question, they certainly
cannot mean what they say. There
10 not Q leading Republican paper
at the North, but what has taken
strong and decided grounds in
favor Of uniuersal suffrage. That
dostrine 10 the cornerstone of the
xvth Amendment, which has
been endorsed by the Republican
party in every State in the Union;
and everywhere, except among q
fsw Radical leaders at the South,
the Republican party has proved
true to its professions Of Liberty
and Progress, BY proclaiming uni
versal amnesty and universal free
dom.
We do not entertain the fears
expressed BY the Committee about
ths result Of proclaiming univsr-
sal amnesty in this State. On

tea that the hghts and interests

A Pleasant Horoscope.

The press Of The North is quick to recog-
nize the greatness OF the future that is so
rapidly opening before our Southern land.
Tie New York Times Of Sunday last, in its
editorial columns, remarks with equal JUS
tice and candor: 1.-The recuperativc power
"of the South is beginning to astonish even
"those who had taken the most hopeful
"view OF the subject. The present cotton
scrop alone is estimated to return q clear
''pront, after payment of all expenses, OF
ssll0,000, eco in gol.l. 1t is difficult to re-
.'alze the prosperity which must follow q
'few years of like production. The supply
'of capital, with what will be brought in
"irom the North, will further enable the
"South to inaucuratc manufacturing upon
'her own soil to very considerable extent.
s.This, with the establishment OF direct trade
s.with Europe and the East. is what plant
s'ers and merchants are aspiring toward,
''and with good reason. The great future
(which these facts suggest is sure to have
every important bearing upon commercial
''and manufacturing interests over the whole
Country, and especially upon those OF the
atlantic seaboard.'

Governor Scott and The News.

We print this morning the message OF
Governor Scott or quite as much o! it as
our readers will care to read. 1t is long
and carefully concocted document, and is
evidently put forth with the expectation
that it will help to revive the waning popu-
larity of its ostensihle author with the ne
groes who placed him in the Office that he
holds. The free use which the Governor.
throughout the message, makes of the artful
appeals of the demagogue, will thoroughly
disgust the decent people Of the State, and
must detract from the credit which he
might otherwise have obtained for such oil
his recommendations as are in themselves
prorer and expedient
1t WILL perhaps, amuse our readers 10
learn the pains taken by Governor Scott to
embarrass THE NEWS in the early publica-
ton Of the message. Aware ofthe industry
and enterprise with which the staff OF this
newspaper invariably labor to keep before
its readers the latest intelligence of what is
happening in the State, the Governor took
extra precautions, and the State officials in
Columbia were one and all informed
that instant dismissal would follow
even tho suspicion of furnishing
THE News with an advance copy OF the
message. More than this: The Governor
became so uneasy lest the document should
first see the light in our columns, that he
actually winlled at its transmission to a
contemporary for publication in advance OF
its delivery to the General Assembly. Such
is the dread penalty which THE News must
pay for having torn the veil from the cor
rupt administration OF the creature who
now dishonors the chair of Rutiedge and
McDufhe.

The Executive Barnburner.

Our barn-burning Governor is fast sink
ing, in the eyes of the North and South
alike, to the depth OF infamy which he seems
to covet as his proper level. The New York
Republic, an Independent newspaper, OF
acknowledged force, ability and fairness,
quotes from THE'NEws, the inoondiary par
agraph of SCOTS recent proclamation in
reference to the fires in Sumter County, and
asks: "What is this reference of Governor
"Scott to the possibility of resort to the
"'same summary process other than an en-
'couragement to ;5talistory and vndictive
measures in the administration Of govern
''ment in that State, We declare unhcsi-
"tatingly that this is an outrage against So
'ciety, even surprising the deeds of which
1.-THE Governor processes such adherence. u
The Republic is the pet organ OF the very
capitalists whom Scott boasts are the special

Ahead or Time.

The Me,o York Sun is very spicy, read
able and enterprising paper, but it has one
fault, Like our staid venerable and respected
neighbor, The Courier which yesterday edi-
torially assured its readers that the message
Of Governor Scott had been sent on Tuesday
to the Legislature, when in fact it had only
been slyly given to The Courier's reporter,
and the Legislature knew nothing about it,
The San will occasionally chronicle events
as they ought to have been, instead OF as
they actually were. Witness the following
intelligence which The Sun prints as coming
from our own Palmetto State:
"a colored lawyer, in South Carolina, hav-
ing horsewhipped white member of the State
Government for insulting his wife, the Legis-
lature appointed an investigating committee.
The committee report that the logging was
thoroughly and handsomely DONE"
Now, after all, it is an open question
whether this bit Of news ought not to be
credited to The Sun, as special stroke OF
enterprise. Who knows but that Speaker
Moses, who has large appreciation OF the
power of the press, land who makes no Sc
cret OF his ardent admiration of The NBws,)
has quietly given hint to his brother Radi-
cal, Dana, of The Sun, Of a forthcoming in
vestigation, and the result thereof-both, OF
course, being matters duly cut and dried
Beforehand At all events, until it shall be
officially reported that "the Aoggng was
mot thoroughly and handsomely done" we
prefer to cling to this favorable view OF the
case.
And shall we be less charitable to our own
ancient neighbor than to the erratic lumina-
ry OF metropolitan journalism Heaven FOR
bid! The message aoaS sent to the Lesisla-
ture; and if this happened on Wednesday
and not on Tuesday, as The Courier main
tains, it was in no wise the fault OF our sober
contemporary; but only because his Excel
lency, in this as in more important things,
has been strangely recreant to bis high
trust.

the water-privileges now in the market for sale
at low prices, and hold them for future use when
ever the capital OF Georgia is sufficient for their
development. Mr.. Cooper deprecated the pay

turers when Georgia has equal facilities within Its
own limits. The address was listened TO by a
large aud appreciative audience. The grounds oi
