EXCURSION TICKETS.

We learn that the South Carolina Railroad is
selling excursion tickets from Charleston to Look
out Mountain, near Chattanooga, and return, for
enc fare, which is S22. Would it not be well for
the South Carolina Read end the Greenville Road
to offer excursion tickets fronl Charleston or any
other point on the line 10 Stumphouse Mountain,
near Walhalla, at similar rates? The scenery in
and around Walhalla is scarcely inferior to the
famed beauties of nature in the vicinity of Cha!a-
nooga, and this reduction in price would enable
many persons, especially in the low country, to
avail themselves of an opportunity to enjoy the
scenery and get away from the excessive heat
President HAMMETr will please make note of the
suggestion.

nSr There are several articles published upon
our outside pages this week, concerning the pres
eat aspect of affairs IN South Carolina Some of
the statements therein contained must be taken
cum srano sas especially such as are set forth by
the Commissioner of Agriculture-a young man
of highly imaginative povers-when he discloses
the astonishing yields of corn in this State. We
would also caution our readers against placing
too much reliance upon the favorable view of the
New York Times as to the financial condition OF
the present State government.
We give place to these articles for the purpose OF
enlightening the people in regard to the means en-
ployed to secure the ruling administration respect
abroad. A total absence of that feeling at home
induces them to seek favor and consideration be-
yend its borders.

In the South where Liver complaint and bilious
diseases prevail to so great an extent, there has
long been o need of medicine that would act spe-
eifcay and promptly on the Lrez, restoring it to its
nominal functions, and ut the same time be safe
from after effects, and yet SO simple that it
might be used by any one 1t is claimed that DR.
TUFTS VEGETABLE LIVER PILLS supplies
this want. They act directly on the Liver; their
constant use will not injure in the slightest degree
the most delicate constitution. Females at any
period may use them with great benefit, and realize
great relief from the distressing nausea which they

recommended as aaiuersal cure-aU, but simply for
diseased Liver, and those maladies which follow @

Dyspepsia, Sick Headache, Indigestion, Loss Of

"raE RuI1Ne PASSION STRONG IN DEATH

The love of Office amoug the political lights of
the present day has been too often e1emplified in
South Carolina to need any fresh demonstration.
II is admitted on al sides that only for the spois
Of Office and opportunity fer public plunder there
could be no possible adhesion of the incongruous
elements now controlling affairs in this good old
commonwealth. Indeed, this same thing of Office
seeking and ofice-holiing is about to prove the
oane of the Radical party, and split that organza-
tion in twain But Of this more anon. 1t is
merely our purpose in this article to point ont the
singular tenacity with which the members Of the
republican party cling to Office when others are
appointed or elected in their stead The first most
striking instance is that Of the late City Council
of Charleston, headed by Republican Mayor,
and nearly all of them appointed by the military
authorities during the reign of SIcKLEs and CANBY.
The appointees were Of course expected to take
the iron-cad oath, and as such proved their 10y
atty. When their successors were elected, they
steadily refused to give over their places, and con-
tested every inch of ground until tine finale was
reached, and they were compelled to vacate In
this effort to retain power it is fair to state the
City Council was supported by the Democrats 80
long as there was reasonable hope of defeating the
other party, but these Radical sins" carried the
Thing too far and disgusted sensible people with
sheir per.inacity. The next instance occurred when
the new Council attempted to fill the city Offices
with their own selections, and it was necessary in
order to remove the incumbents to force open the
Doors and break locks in the nighttime Thirdly,
and lastly for the present, Collector MAcKEY re-
fused last week to deliver over the Office to his
cessor, ex-Mayor CLARK, and they have had n
beautiful scrimmage concerning the occupancy of
the Post Collectors office. Well, these exhibitions
cf love and affection for the places of power and
money, especially the latter, may have tendency
to open the eyes of the colored people, but for
whom nine-tenths of these great (?) men would
now be in perfect obscurity, where they belong.
We can afford to bide the time when this deluded
race will spurn from their confidence the horde of
carpet baggers and worthless renegades, ("miser-
able vermin," as the New York Tribune calls them, J
who have crept into high places by the negros
vote.

coMpLErroN OF THE FRENCH CABLE.

The successful landing of the French cable COM
pletes the two lines of transatlantic telegraph
communication. In this undertaking, as in the
former one, the Great Eastern has successfully
performed one of those gigantic tasks which have
given her, apart from her immense size, world
wide reputation as sufficient agent in the civii-
zation of mankind by multiplying the links that
bind the nations together. The French Atlantic
Cable, which through her instrumentality now lies
buried ont of the reach Of harm in the depths of
the ocean, is nearly 1900 miles longer than the
one now in operation, and is divided into six sec
tions-the two shore ends, the deep sea section
from Brest to st. Perre), the western and eastern
shore ends at that island, and the section to be
laid thence to the Massachusetts coast. The deep
sea line, although manufactured by the same COM
pany, is said TO be decided improvement on the
English line, and in circumference bears to that
the relation of four to three, lis central coil being
larger More perfect insulation has also been Sc
cured by imbedding the wires in new compound
and covering them with four layers of gutta-per-
cha. Around these is o web Of steel wires, wound
spirally, each wire being first bound with hve
strands of hemp, we'll saturated with preserving
compound. 1t is expected that it will be possible
to send through this enlarged core twelve words
per minute and by improved modes Of signalling it
is hoped that even greater celebrity can be attained
The entire length Of this Cable will sum up 34O7
miles
It is commentary upon the stupendous progress
Il
only short time since electrified the world-now
creates scarcely comment, and certainly does not
disturb the equanimity of events as much as would
a spicy murder or any other stirring incident in
human life. Yet, the result is none the less i'm
po-tant, for the effect will be to cheaper ocean tel
egraphy-there being no longer monopoly-and
also succeed in drawing more closely together, So
cially and commercially, the people of France and
America.

unless they disclosed all they knew about the Kr
Klux. These negroes aps armed with weapons
sent there by Gov. ScoTr. We learn from pri-

sent up to Ahbeville on Monday last. Evidently
the militia is being armed TO serve Radical pur-

by exempting part of the property of the debtor
from attachment or fnesnc process, or levy or exc
cution."
In Rockwell ps Hubbell, Douglass ls7, in the
Supreme Court of Michigan, it is held "that prop
erty may be exempted from execution for debts
contracted before the zaw of exemption '0a' en-
acted"
The Supreme Court of Georgia, in o recent case,
has decided that the exemption of homestead OF
the value of two thousand dollars, authorized by
the Constitution of that State, from levy or sale
even for antecedent debts, liens and judgments, IS
valid, and does not impair the obligation OF con-
tracts The same point has been ruled, or the
same principle involved has been decided, in other
States of the Union.
In Parsons on Contracts, $50, the learned au-
thor, after reviewing many OF the cases decided IN
different States, says: cat the same time, hoWev.
er, it is admitted that State may make partial
exemptions of property, as of furniture, food ap-
parel or even homestead" Again, on the same
page, he says: g. is to be observed that as. to
the remedy, there can be no difference between
debt existing before and one contracted after the
law is made"
In the Planters Bank Us. Sharp, 6 Howard, 3Ol
$50, Judge Woodbury., in delivering the opinion
of the Supreme Court of the United States, admits
that claws may be passed by the State Legisla-
lures e1empting tools or household goods from
levy or sale under existing contracts"
If the principle is once conceded that property
of small value can be exempted from levy for con-
tracts existing before the passage Of the law, how
can such IN enactment be said to be unoonstltu-
tional when the value of the property exempted is
enlarged? i,
The exemption Of household effects, of small
value, under what was popularity designated the
"cow and bed law" of this State, more effectual-
ly hindered and defeated the creditor, in many
cases, than homestead exemption of one thousand
dollars would do in others.
The principle upon which tho oonstitutionalty
of the Homestead lau is maintained has been ad-
mitted by the Supreme Court of the United States,
in cases whore the State Legislatures have passed
laws changing the statute of limitations; discharg-
ing insolvent debtors; and abolishing imprison-
ment for debt 1t is ssid however, that such
legislation effects only the "rsmsdy" of the cred
itor, but does not impair the obligation of tho con-
tract.

enactments shew that the exemption of part of

class of voters, constituting large majority, who
should exercise the privilege, who had never be-
fore been recognized as citizens. 1t denied the
right of suffrage to large class of the most intel
lieent citizens and excluded them from holding Of
fee under the new government 1t ignored the
Constitution and all laws Of the State prescribing
the time place and manner Of holding elections.
1t established the military power superior to the
civil and made the latter entirely subordinate to
the former The de tacto government then existing
was declared to be only provisional. The military
woz invested with nearly unlimited power, and not
unfreouently exercised it without stint in superce-
ding and annulling existing laws in the STATE, and
by military order ordaining and enforcing new
laws It removed State officers, with and without
lawful cause and appointed their successors. The
Governors of Georgia and Mississippi were re-
moved early in 1867, and the Governors of North
Carolina end this State in 1868, and successors
appointed. Judges were removed because they
refused to carry out military orders in their
Courts. The citizen was not only haole TO be ar
rested, tried, convicted and punished by military
tribunals for violation of civil law alone, but this
extraordinary power was put into force against
many of the citizens, who, if the Constitution Of
the United States had been of force within the
limits of South Carolina, could have appealed to
the civil tribunals-to he writ of habeas corpus
to the Judgment of Their peers, to relieve them
from the clutches of the military.
The war was ended in May, 1SG5-the last Con-
federate soldier had laid down his arms. If the
Constitution of the United States was of force in
this State, to protect the rights of the citizen and
State, until July, 1861 why was it that the mill
tary power during these three long years was not
only not subordinate to, but actually superior TO
the civil authority? Is it not manifest, from this
review of the legislation of Congress and the ac-
tion of the military authorities, that the govern.
ment under which we lived was military all civil
functions in every department tolerated and recog
nized no longer than they were consistent with the
wishes and opinions of the military commandant.
If this be true, then the Constitution adopted in
this State could not conflict with any clause of the
Constitution of the United States, because it was
not of force at the time, to restrain the Conven-
ton or protect the people
But after its ratification by the people, it was to-
