GEN. BUrLKR,s DISABILITY BILL.

UaNs NJ AnR'D 0ASA A1SAAAA4 na1As
The Bill which Gen. Butler reported
from the Reconstruction Committee on
Thursday, is not the kind that is want
ed. 1t makes the conditions which a
person must fill before receiving his
pardon, too embarrassing and humiliating.
1t arranges for public notice to be given
Of the intention of each one to apply
before the courts for a removal Of dis
abilities, aud thus sort Of interest is
given to each occasion, and the recital
of a penitent's "acts done against the
Government" is heard >by hundreds
Of persons who have done the same
thing, and an esprit is excited which
is more apt to revive old rebel ju-
bilation than to reclaim old rebel sin
ners.
What we want is something broad aud
statesmanlike, something that is uni
versal, which exccpts nobody, imposes
no conditions and asks no rctractions,
but which simply says: "We forgive
you; go and sin no more" There is
nothing to do but to issue general bill
under tho clause of the fourteenth
amendment, providing that two thirds
of each house of Congress may relieve
personal disabilities. The mode is so
simple, that if Gen. Butler goes to
work in the right way, he can dispose
of it more easily than he did of

HOME ENTERPRISE.

Any effort pertaining TO the Mechani-
cal interest of the South, should receive
every encouragement.
1t is to be regretted that for many
years previous to the late struggle, me-
chanical genius and energy failed to re-
ceive its proper reward and encourages
mcnt, and 1t now becomes more than
ever our duty to support and foster it in
our midst.
The limited education, deemed suffi.
cient, and bestowed upon those preparing
for mechanical pursuits, was prevail
ing error previous to the war, through
out our Southern land, aud We trust
that an error SO gross is fast becoming
obsolete.
We hope tho community of Bishop
Vile will freely extend their patronage
and support to the enterprising pro-
prietor Of the carriage factory at that
place.
We deem efforts of this description
worthy notice aud encouragement, as
pertaining to the interest aud welfare
ofour loved State.

we see there is another loss by burning as woll
as other grioveus outragcs alleged to the Ku Klux
of Sumter. jacob Price says the Ku Kux burnt
his corn crib, and committed other outragcs
against him. wonder how much ho expects to
get from the tnx payers of Sumter out of this
litlo job. And I wonder how many moro corn.
cribs ami little stores will soon bc burnt-i Q. if
the Legislature undertakes to mako tho tn pay
crs of Sumter fork up the money for all such cases,
Eurrcl james is likely to have his hands full
Well, don't blame Jacnb Price or any of them
so much. III could get my old empty corn
house burnt and thereby make my ten or five
thousand dollars, am afraid il was not afraid
of being caught, might myself bo tempted to
part with the old crib. So we go.

We are in = 'sscssion OF information

Disturbances in Sumter County. These
men called meeting q short time age
, Of the people living in the vicinity oi
tho late Robertson outrage. They
demanded that the Democrats should
separate to one side and the Radicals to
the other. About sixteen colorcd men
went over to the Democratic side, and
about eighty remained firm to their
principles. The latter were told that
,hoy should not he permitted to rent or
farm lands on their own account.
On the night of the second Of Fcbrn

MANUFACTURE OF ICE.

We learn from the Columbia Guar.
dian, that Mr.. JOHN G. SEEaERs, of
that city, the well-known manufactur-
or Of Lager Beer, has ordered machine
for tho manufacture Of ice, which he
expects to receive in the month of May
next.
With this machine he will manufac-
|'ture ice sufficient to supply the city,
and be able to furnish the great summer
luxury at cheaper rate than it has
ever before been supplied in Columbia.
The ice machines vary in capacity and
cost. That ordered by Mr.. Seegers will
cost $4,000 90, with capacity ofturn>
ing out 1000 pounds to the hour.
The matter Of ice manufacture is now
attracting attention in the Northern
States, aud the opinion has been arrived
ut, that it can be produced with decided
ly less cost than it can be gathered and
housed for summer use. This calcula-
tion will apply with still moro advantage
to the South, since the cost Of trauspor-
tation, which is large item of the cost,
would be saved to US, to say nothing
of the loss in weight from melting, from
the time it leaves the Northern ice
house until it is weighed out to the
Southern consumer.
The best aud cheapest ice machines
are said to be made in Germany. The
Guardian puts down the cost of them as
follows A machine turning out fifty
pounds of ice an hour, 81 500 in curren-
cy-100 lbs. an hour, S2,7O0-300 lbs.
an hour,..--$4,Oo0-4)0 lhs., $4,000.
Chemicals sufficient to work them for
years arc furnished with the machines.
Those of smaller capacity are worked by
hand, the larger by small steam en-
gine.
The cheapest machine above men
tioned-S1, ,50O-would be ample for
the local wants Of Sumter, and the esti-
mate is that three hundred per cent. on
the capital invested, can be realized, and
the ice sold at less than one half the
Price our citizens have heretofore paid
for it.
Here is chance for a snug little
business for some ono of our enter
plising citizens. Who will 60 into it?
And at the same time become almost a
public beucfuctor?

fssys that the occurrences mentioned ara
probably the same as those alluded to 10
our Columbia dispatches.
The dispatches alluded to state that
Mr.. Feriter presented = letter from
Coghlau, Sheriff Of Sumter County, with
the affidavit Of Jacob Price, relative to
the burning Of corn crib aud Ku Klux
outrages in said County. After debate,
it was referred to the Committee on
grievances.
We know no. whether the letter re-
fcrrod to details the statements as they
are above made, but this we know, that
what is there stated in regard'to meets
ing Of the citizens aud effort to force the
oolored people into position, is utterly
and entirely wihoas foundation. No
such meeting was held in that section.
no attempt was mado to hold it, aud no
wish or purpose to hold such meeting
exists or has existed.
From all the information we have
been enabled to gather, the statement
in regard to tho burning is also false, as
also the insults to the family of the said
Price. Some parties, whethor white or
colorcd, we have not been enabled to
learn, are said to have waited on Prico
and Informed him that some of his prao
tices were obnoxious. But no violence
was either attempted or threatened, as
for as we have been enabled to learn.
The opinion is that no white man had
anything to do with even this much.
