Mr.. Chandler the MAN FRIDAY

Mr.. Chandler the Man Frlday.
The ''gcntlcman from Michigan who,
like another ROBINSON CKUSoE, lmaglncs
himself to be monarch Of all he surveys here
in Virginia, by the grace of guns, has, like
CRrsoE, been attended OF late by his
man FR1DAY-Mr. CHANDLER. Now this
FRIDAY would be altogether an unfit asso-
ciate of his master were he Tree from
the traits for which his master Is dis
tinguiShed; and though the follower may
not be fully equal to the leader-it is proper
that he should not-yet he keeps barely 4
respectful distance in the rear. For du-
plicity, Inconsistency, and cunning, our
FRIDAY is only little inferior to his CRusOE.
The Inconsistencies of Mr.. CHANDLER are
not matter of much Importance; but as he
has appeared very prominently OF late rs Il
dcbater and supporter of WELLS, ii MAY be
as we'll to give little space to one point in
his tcrgivcrSationS. OF course he is Il
thorough WELLS Radical now: vet for some
time after the war had ended he decidedly
opposed negro suffrage. The following is
an extract from speech he delivered in Pc
tersburg on the 10Th December, 1865:
II am opposed to negro suffrage, and always
have been.
The pririiege Of rating, exercised as a rjglt By
IN Intelligent man, is Il ratudbie one; hut When
this lever Of power is thrown no the hands Of the
ignorant IL becomes worse than uscicSs-it Is dan
gcrouS. No one believes that any of the north
crn states, now SO loudly canorous would let them
vote any more than he believes that the vii!
rise tomorrow morning Il twcnty-iour pound
green cheese.
i" In many counties Of this and other southern
States the negro population Is in the majority
LcttcM rOttud the right 10 hold Office follow ing
The right 10 vote as naturally day comes after
night-:tnd you will have black shcrits, black
magistrates, black delegates, who can't read and
write. don't mean t. say that there 40 intel
itGcnt colorcd men, but that like angels visits,
they are lew and far between. From Florida to
\cH York there Is not now one in Il thousand Of
thcn capable OF holding Office, and the people
won give Office to them
You may talk OF ii and argue ii, but can 7,erer
@t orer The tseiing eriSting against these people
Gail il :. prejudice II you please. 4 national pre-
iudicc.' says Bulwcr. is stronger than law.' II
may he only a prejudice but yOu tciN never obtain
the conscntof the American people to this mca-
sure: Why years will not eradicate this prejudice.

from serving the State in any capacity. Next
TO defending his country in war, his service
MS n voter is the most important duty that
dcvolvcS upon him in his relation TO tho
state. 1t IS, therefore, serious neglect III
any citizen to fail to secure his right to vote
Whatever be the feeling and inclination OF
man at the present time, who can tel
what new developments may happen before
the day Of election that may change the In
clinations and sense Of duty of that man
But. however much he may desire to vote
on the 9th of July, he cannot do soft he ha'

when the state will be in such imminent
peril, we appeal to register promptly he-
oiser at once. and hc at rest. No man who

WE received, last evening, copy OF
bill now before the Legislature granting TO
certain parties, in consideration of small
royalty to he paid to the State, the exclusive
right to obtain phosphate rock from the bed
of our navigable streams. We print in
another column the bill, together with some
shrewd comments from writer in the Co.
lumbia Phoenix, who leaves little % be said
in regard to the expediency OF the measure.
We ourselves favor free trade, as well as in
phosphates as in all other commodities; but
if such q monopoly as the bill provides for
is to be created, justice to the taxpayers de-
mands that it be sold under the auctioneer's
hammer, so that. the State may reap the
largest possible advantage therefrom. We
shall watch with some interest the fate OF
the bill.

rhe Peoples Bank of South Carolina.

Mr.. John B. Lafitte, of this city, was
elected, yesterday, president of the Peoples
Bank of South Carolina, in the place OF
Mr.. James G. Gibbes, who had resigned.
Mr.. Lafitte is gentlemen of high standing
in commercial circles, and his large expert
ence, business tact and undoubted financial
ability will De of great value to the woll
known bank of which he is now the head.
The Peoples Bank will, we believe, resume
active business in few days, and, if fsound
and able management count for anything,
it will soon become one Of the most popu-
lar, as we'll as responsible, banking institu-
tions in the State.
