To Bo Expected.

That the Charleston Republican would
seek to misrepresent and belittlc every
anti-rGdical effort, is to be expected. It
is of course, to the interest of 'the
organ" and of the officials of the State,
and of the oflce-holders in general. that
the present regime be upheld. No one,
therefore, need be surprised ut its per-
sistent efforts to defeat the cause of the
people of the State, who arc anxious for
such government as will protect rather'
than feed upon tho State, and give en-
couragement to the coming hither of
capital and settlers. It is now doing NIL
in its power to defeat the purpose of the
June Convention. But wo hope that its
efforts will but intensity the determine
tion of the well-disposed people of the
State to make this year in the coming
campaign general, concerted and ener-
geiic effort, in whatever form the Con-
vention shall decide, to give to our State
au honest and economical and yet IN en-
lightened and progressive government.
The Republican pretends to get aid and
comfort from an article of ours, but we
trust that it will yet see that our only
concern is how the weapon of our oppo-
sition shall best be pointed.

General Grant and General Amnes.y.

General Grant md General Amnesty.
The telegram informs us that General
Grant has determined to withhold his
general amnesty from all offences during
the war, on account of reported disturb
ances in the South. This conclusion
does not speak well for tho logical JUS
tice of the President, even if the cooked
up stories of Southern outrages, for
which there is 80 large demand in
Washington city, had any foundation in
fact That q whole people, embracing
at least ninety nine out of hundred of
the Southern population, should be pun
ishcd on account Of the violences and
outrages of n few. does not appear to us
to accord with n Christian spirit, or that
magnnnimous sense of Justice which are
expected from the chief of great Re-
public Then, too, the question might
we'll arise whether these outrages COM
planned of arc not the legitimate results
of the very policy of Acknowledgement
which has produced SO many other evils
and hostile and bitter feelings among n
certain class Of rude and cxcitablo pco-
pie. We can well imagine how the sense
Of their exclusion from the protection of
the law, their virtual ostracism from po-
litical rights, would provoke general
contempt for the authorities as well as
for the law which unjustly Furnishes and
degrades them.
There never was greater error of
craftsmanship, and one moro utterly at
war with the spirit of our institutions
and Of the age, than this policy adopted
by the radicals ut the close of the war,
and continued down to the present day,
of excluding large and tho most influ-
ential and intelligent portion of the peo-
pie of q great section of the Union from
political rights without trial or convic.
ton. This nust ever stand forth from
our history as q conspicuous exception
and anomaly in our political and juris-
prudential history.
Future generations will bo perplexcd
to reconcile this fact with the complete
guarantees of oil our constitutions and
bills Of rights, and our boosted inheri-
tance Of the sacred provisions of Magma
Charta. It gives still darker shade to
this measure that it has been provoked
by partisan passions, not by patriotic or
national feelings and convictions. Am
nesty was always held within reach Of
those who wonld vote the radical ticket
and accept radical doctrines and policies.
In other words, the crime consisted in an
inability to believe in radicalism. No
degree Of criminnlity in the lato rebel
lion could outweigh sound radicalism.
Consistency would require that they
should extend this principle to the whole
anti-radical party. Why should not tho
Democrats and Conservatives of the
North bo dsfranchiscd if to be opposed
to radicalsm is to bo disloyal?

STATISTICS OF THE CONFEDERATE ARMY.
meeting of the Confederate Relief aud
Historical Society was held at Memphis,
on the 30th ult., Gov. Harris in the chair.
DR.. Avent read q communication on the
Confederate army, which contained the
following Statistics: In 1861, 1875 were
killed; 4. O54 wounded; 2,772 prisoners.
In 1862, 1852 killed; 63, $50 wounded;
4S,3O0 prisoners. In 1868, IL, ,S76 killed
5l.3l3 wonnded; 71,211 prisoners. In
1865, $4,000 killed; 10000 wounded;
$4,000 prisoners. Totals-killed 53, 773;
wounded 194, 02G; prisoners 2O2, ,2S3
If the deaths from disease be added,
the sum total will present the entire loss.
The returns of the field and general hos
pitals arc known for 1861-62, and if it
be fair to assume that the total mortality
of 1868 and 1864 was fully equal to that
! OF 1862, then the total of deaths in the
Confederate army in l96l-G5 was at
least 1GO, 900, exclusive Of the deaths in
the Northern prisons, which would swell
! tho number to near 1876, 900; and if the
deaths among the discharged for wounds
and disease, and among the sick and
wounded on fnrlough, be added. the
grand total of deaths in the Confederate
army, during the entire war, did not fall
far short of 100000 According to this
calculation, the deaths from disease were
about three times as numerous as those
| resulting from the casualties of battle.
| The available Confederate force capa-
ble of active service did not, during the
entire war, exceed GOO, 900 men. OF this
number, not more than 40J, 900 were en-.
rolled ut any one time; and the Confede.
rate States never had in the field more
than 100000 men capable of bearing
arms. at any one time, exclusive of sick,
wounded and disabled.
| The other business transacted ut this
meeting, was the introduction by Gen.
Pillow Of an amendment to the coustitu.
ton, reported as follows:
Any Confederate soldier may be eli
gible to membership in the assoc; cation,
when his record as soldier is bameless
Provided that whore tho applicant left
the service before the end OF the war, he
shall havo been honorably discharged,
and after leaving. his conduct must have
been snch as to leave no doubt of his
continued devotion to tho Confederate
cause until the end of the war.

On THE SUBJECT OF VoTINa.-"A bill, "
says the Washington correspondent of
the Baltimore Gazette, sis now pending
in the House, which shows conclusively
the design to place the whole subject of
voting under Congressional control. 1t
is another step in the direction of con-
tralized despotism. It provides that no
citizen of the United States shall be re-
quired to write, print or place his name
on any ballot, or to do anything whereby
the identity or name of any person cast
ing the ballot may be known; and, fur
thcr, makes the printing or writing of Il
voters namo on tue outside of the bal
lot punishable by fine of one thousand
dollars and one months Imprisonment.
If Congress assumes power to enact such
n law as this, it may we'll be asked what
they cannot do in the way of interfering
in State elections. In simple truth, wo
are already living under an oligarchy of
unlimited power. The revolution is an
accomplished fact"
That Congress has transferred tho Re-
public that once was into an oligarchy of
unlimited power, is fact that did not
need the introduction of such n bill to
establish. The fact has been long since
most forcibly established

Is it proposed to put the Two races alb

ography, and, rs far as we recollect, this
remarkable man of his race is about
thirty three years of age. We learn that
he was refused in 1865 an examination
by the Committee Of Legal Examiners
in his County in Pennsylvania, and was
only admitted in 1866, under the Civil
Rights Act At the most then he had
been nominally n lawyer for four years
before his election. Most, if not NIL of

Whipper has since learned better, we

Gen. Manteuffel, almost equally well
known by the title of Baron, was also
born In the early part of the present cen

has passed lifetime in military employ
ment, having begun as dragon at an
early age, and receiving the next grade
shortly afterward. He became abide
camp to the King in 1s4s, and since then
has risen rapidly. He was made the civil
and military Governor of Schleswig, and
led the Prussian troops, while the
Austrian Governor of Holstein unsuccess-
fully defended the claims of Austria. He
afterward had the command of division
under Gen. Vogel de Falkenstein. In
1866 Gen. Manteuffel took command of
the army of the Main and directed opera
tions against the German States of the
South. He YVES charged with demanding
from the village of Frankfort the payment
of a war levy of 100000 of francs,
which the magistrates refused to furnish.
He has since that been engaged in for
