THANKSGIVING DAY.-The Richmond

BY the decree of Ulysses s. Grant, a
small-potato President, this is Thanks
giving day. We hope our people will
duly observe it, and when we cay duly
we mean it, We have, we admit, many
causes for thankfulness. Notwithstand-
iug the efforts of Yankees to starve and
desrade our people, we are yet allowed
to live, and we yet have the Old Virgi.
mia spirit in us. ''.Sic Sen,per 1yrannis, {"
is still our proud motto-and despite the
tyrannical acts and ediots of sectional
Congress, and the bayonets of an igno-
rant, incompetent, and malicious Presi-
dent, we still claim to be Virginia free
mon, freemen in principles and spirit,
although bayonets are held ut our backs
to intimidate and to 'frighten us from
our propriety."
We repeat, we have many causes of
thankfulness. We are thankful that we
were born on the soil of old Virginia; we
are thankful that we were not born in
Vermont OIL Massachusetts; we are thank
full that we are Democrats. or, if you
please, Conservatives" and the friends
of constitutional govcrnment-not the
present bastard, ''so.called" constitu-
tional government, but the friends of a
Legitimate and not a sectional constitu-
tional government-such an one as was
framed and given us by the Madisons
and Jeffersons of '76. We are thankful
that we are not q radical or carpet bag
ger, or, what is worse and meaher, q
Southern scalawag. A scnlawag! The
meanest thing of creation! It is ssfoul
bird that will pollute its own nest"
And we are thankful that we cannot
observe to-day for the same reasons,
disguised though they may be,) that U.
s. Grant has seen proper, in his PARTY
proclamation, to demand that it be spe-
cially honored. Candor compels us to
sny that we do not regard it as a political
Sabbath. Let it be observed, however,
by those who may elect; but we hope it
will be observed in truly religious and
patriotic spirit.
Let us return thanks to God for her.

vivors' Association, in their report sub
mitted at the annual meeting of the As
ISOLATION, explain OF some length the
objects Of the organization, and show
that, the war having ended disastrously,
the Southern people will turn upon
South Carolina the most scrrt;nis;ng in
quiry as to the part taken by the State in
the conflict which she inaugurated. The
action of South Carolina compelled the
people of her sister States to stand by
and see her subjngated, or join in the
struggle, and it becomes us now to show
that South Carolinians were not lngt"l.!a
in the strife to which they called ne
South. And the Executive Boar.l be-
lieve that this can easily be done.
Out OF voting population of less thun
68. 900, this State gave A, 900 soldiers to
the Confederate armies in the first eigh-
teen months Of the war, and. during the
whole war, at least one soldl,:r for every
vote cast for secession, Mnie than t,oeire
thousand Sonth Carolina soldiers died in
service, and the Executive Board assert
their belief that, of tho remnant of the
glorious Army of Northern Virginia,
which stood by it's chieftain to the lust.
one-ffth were South Carolininns, and
this, although South Carolina was one of
tuo bLudblebU VI guC hihC JtNeCo WhooO
troops composed TINT army. In support
of their statements, the Executive Board
cite a report of tho Adjutunt- General, in
Which it is shown that upon the 30th
August, 1862, the State of South Caro-
lima had iu the field II, 1878 volunteers
and l, 100 conscripts. and that, up to that
time. the number of men contributed by
the State to the Confederate service e1-
ceeded $4,000, besides 5000 reserves.
During the last year of the war. wo had
in the field thirty two regiments and
threo battalions of infantry, eight regi.
ments of cavalry, and two regiments,
two battalions and twenty-five batteries
of artillery, with four regiments of re.
serves, besides the corps of State Cadets.
This, in brief, is the war record Of
South OeTolina-a record which sets al
rest forever the ungenerous suggestion
that this State dragged the South into
secession and left the burden of the fight
ing to the soldiers of our sister States.
The wisdom Of secession, as q means oi
redressing the wrongs of the Southern
States, may be open to discussion; but il
is at least certain that South Carolina
moro than fulfilled her every promise,
and poured out, like water, the blood OF
her gallant children in what was the com.
mon cause of tho whole Southern people.
Even her enemies must now admit that
South Carolina nobly did her duty.

Mr.. Butler asserts that he filed her re-

Tie Case Of Hon q. Il. Buler be-
fare Jmlye YrjEL-The case of Hon q.
Il. X. Butler before Judge Trigg on
Friday last, ut the Thomas House in
this place, received n very unexpected
turn which was as just as it was inn
portant in its bearing. On Friday the
18th Judge Trigg, then in Knoxville,
ut the instance of Mr.. Schwartz, an
agent of the Treasury Department,
issued 4 warrant for the arrest of Mr..
Butler. Believing he had no primary
jurisdiction in the case Judge Trigg
informed the agent that he would not
hear the case upon the evidence but
would simply recognize the accused
to appear for trial before the proper
authorities at Washington. The
charge was one of forgery, in the en-
dorsation of the name of Mrs. Bar
then a Farmer on check payable
to her order by the Beaureau of Pen
siOns for the amount of her Pension.

home in Taylorsville on Monday last
and taken before u. S. Commissioner
Barry, who bailed him in the sum of
81. 800, to appear before Judge Trigg
in Bristol on Friday last. Mr.. Butler
employed as his counsel Col. \. NJ.
Taylor Of Bristol and Judge Jno. A..
Campbell of Washington county va.
who asked a postponement Of the
case until Dist. Attorney Camp and
the witnesses could by their presence
enable the court to examine the case
on it's merits. The plea was granted
by Judge Trigg, who stated very
frankly that his opinion in the mat
ter had been changed. The case was

all cases had the right to be confron-

witnesses should be required to con-
front him with their testimony, 50
that he could know in what his defense
must consist, and if found clearly in

four points at which it would he adVis-
able for the government TO establish
National Banks under the recent net
of Congress providing for the distribu-
ton Of more currency for the South

he will not only name Bristol as one
of the points, but see that it becomes
one of the successful ones, as II is not
probable that all of the points named

under this action be merged into Ma
