HOW A RADICAL CONGRESSMAN SPENDS HIS
LEISURE MOMENTS.

The peccadilloes Of Radical officials in this
State have been so often exposed as to render the
subject almost threadbare. But occasionally we
arerefreshed by instances of such sublime rascal
ity that it would be wrong not to allow the public
to enjoy them. twill be remembered that while
the 'gold bilp' was pending before Legislature,
prior to the holidays, there was considerable com
ment as to the presence in Columbia of one BOWEN,
member of Congress from this State, who was evi-
IDENTIFY exerting his influence over the colored
members to obtain the passage of this highly im-
portant measure to the bondholders, which class 1t
was thought Bowen represented. "eli' 1t mai
tiers not for the purpose of this article whether he
was thus engaged, to the neglect of his arduous
dnties in Congress-, then in session. But we are
reliably informed that, during his leisure Moments
BowEs was employed in franking envelopes for
the dusky legislators al furious rate. He would
take his seat by o sable brother, and during the
conversation which ensued between them, Bowen
wouh exhaust the supply of envelopes on the
members table by writing thereon his official
frank. After this was done, he would move of to
another s.man and brother, and performt the same
act of kindness with the utmost suavity, and so
on through the list of colored gentlemen likely to
remember the modest favor by giving Bowen his
support in the next nominating conv ention, Will
any decent Radical newspaper in the land defend
such conduct It is an unblushing fraud upon
the government, perpetrated in open daylight, and
without the linsy pretence Of aiding the Republi-
can party. We trust that the influential colored
men who have already declared war against Bow
EN- will continuetheir assaults upon him, and seek
to oust such adisreputabe character from the exal
ted position now prostitutcd to his own base uses

TEE u1NETEEHTH CENTURY.

The January number of this magazine is an I'M
proyement, in our humble judgment, upon former
issues. Among the most noticeable articles is one
from enc pen Of Judge LososrRErT, reviewing E1-
Gov. PERRY s sketch of Mr.. CALHOUN. We have
read this review with great deal of interest, and
aside from the merits of the controversy between
them. we think that the author of Georgia Scenes"
has completely vanquished the Ex-Governor in a
literary point of view. Those who are not sub
scribers to the Niaeteenh Century, should at once
send in their names and money to Mr.. G. W. FAINT
Of the Post Office, who is the authorized agent, and
who will be glad to serve customers regularly with
single copies.

Dun DuTY.-Aother year is upon US, ond be-
fore its close, we will have another general elec-
ton. State officers, members of the Legislature
and congressman ore to be elected by US in Octo-
ber next.
II is of vital moment to the best interests of our
State that the present incumbents be defeated, and
good men elected in their stead. This is Practica-
Bile, if we will simply do two things, which wis.,
dom demands
l. Be united. He who prefers man or set Of
men to the of the party opposed to official
dishonesty, is not true He may boast that he IS
not fettered by party nominations, but when he
pursues a course which must end in the defeat OF
good men, he is himself not patriot and not to
be trusted.
2. We must be practicable. The fourteenth and
fifteenth amendments to the Constitution of the
United States have settled many things-the first
is passed and the second will be. We must read
the changes wrought by these amendments. Ques-
tions which divided the two great political parties
of the country two years ago would appear ridicu-
lous if lugged into political canvass now. They
are settled against US. Congressional reconstruc-
ton and negro suffrage are issues OF the past,
quite as much as the Louisiana purchase and the
Mexican war. If We do not so regard them, we
are impracticable, unwise, and destined TO defeat
Victory is in our hands, if VIC will only grasp it.
| Our platform is one upon which white and black
may unite and join hands. It is opposition to
official dishonesty" We want no other plank
| Upon this, we would nominate good men, and they
would be elected. We beg our readers to think
over these things, and begin to prepare themselves
By July, we ought to have our candidates in the
field without division. Soon, aye, very soon, we
should commence the work of organization. Let
men begin to think of clubs: and let clubs be as
brief in their resolutions as possible. Let them,
above oil things be wise, and careful not to waste
their strength in tlting against wind-mills.-
