ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Outh NArOInN.
A Democratic contemporary thus
describes the fruits ofreconstruction in
South Carolina:
"a gentleman from Charleston in
forms us that the negroes have every
thing pretty much their own way in
South Carolina. They not only con-
troll the Republican party and its
nominations In part, but they are Re-
publican party, in that State. OF the
rank and file of that party only about
one in five are white men. The pres
ent Mayor of the city is brother of
Parker Pillsbury The Adjutant-
general of South Carolina is q negro.
The Republican candidate for Lieu
tenant-gOvernor Is negro. One of
the Judges of the South Carolina Su-
preme Court is negro. The contes-
tant of the Congressional seat of the
expelled thiefand carpet-bagger, the
Rev. Whittemore, In the Darlington
District, is a negro, and II Is thought
he will he elected. This negro was
formerly q porter for business house
i'm Charleston. That city sends to
the Legislature eighteen representa-.
tives; of the Republican nominations
for these offices eleven or twelve are
negroes. Three of these, at least, can
neither read nor write. The State
Senator in the Second District Is O
negro. Two-thirds of the Charleston
police are negroes. The negroes are
generally members Of the secret I'm
ion League the belly-band nd hal
ter of the Republican steed, in al
places, and are by this means KEPT

DEATH OF GEN. RoBT. 4. LEE.

If il be true that "death loves q
shining mark" its ambition was sat
isfied when it struck down General
ROBERT T.. LEE, the model soldier,
the model patriot, and the model
man. Death, In the humblest cabin,
leaves sting in the hearts Of the
living, but not once in n century,
docs its presence cast gloom and sor-
row and anguish upon tho hearts Of
nh entire people. But it is consollng
To reflect that though GEN. LEE is
dead, his fame will live forever and
his memory be cnshrined in tho
hearts of his countrymen, so long as
true greatness is admired and exalted
virtue has votary.
There is consolation in tho hope,
that his advent in the far off land OF
tho Hereafter, has caused joy rs
intense rs the grief that marks his
departure from earth. "Thc wicked
have ceased from troubling" his dis
abilities are all removed and death
has set its seal to the imperishablo
record Of his greatness.

TIE souri, fougIr. for an indepen-

THE SOUTH fought for an indepen-
dent and seperate government; but,
falling In the attempt, with afacility
truly wonderful, it fell back upon its
original position of "hewer of wood
and drawer of water" for the lords
Of the loom, and the princely bond
holders, who laugh at the voluntary
servitude of whole people who re-
ccivc for their labor, not even food
and clothing. This may be II rough
way of stating the case, but 1t Is as
true as preaching. The South, as
long rs it fails to raise bread and
meat, in abundance, and to manu-
facture the raw material it produces,
will continue to cultivate its soil, as
commercial and political serfs of
absentee landlords and Yankee tax
gatherers.
What has become of the proud
spirit of the chivalrous South and
the craftsmanship of its sages, which
SO long shaped the policy of the gov
ernment and made 1t the admiration
of the world and the pride of its citi-
zcns? In lieu of it, we find nothing
but humble dependence on the North
for the necessaries of life, and re-
lection of the means of wealth and
independence which nature has
placed within her grasp, and which
she lacks the wisdom to employ for
her own advancement In all things
that make people prosperous, happy
and powerful. The remedy for this
condition of vassalage is, to raise an
abundant supply of food, to manu-
facture our own implements and
make the growth of cotton conform
to our ability to convert 1t into
fabrics.
