The Washington correspondent OF the
New York World, writing on Sunday last,
says:
"a number of leading politicians in North
Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia, are
taking ground in favor of independent and re-
form movements entirely separate from pres
emf political organizations, in order to secure
a release OF the people in these States from the
corrupt Radical rings which are rapidly bank
rIpting The Southern States. In South Caro-
lima q citizens ticket has recently been elect
cd in Camden, and it is said that the move
mcnt is spreading rapidly over that State, and
will be entirely successful. similar move is
proposed for Georgia. In North Carolina the
plan Is to run independent men in opposition
to the Holden dynasty, and II is understood
that leading Republicans of North Carolina,
some Of whom are in Congress, are quite
ready 10 90 into the movement with view 10
reform the present dynasty, and secure good
State government 1t Is believed that in each
of these States this movement will be success
fill, US were similar organizations in Virginia
and Tennessee, in resculng those States fro
political banditti."

The Do-Nothings.

WE are heartily glad to learn that, ln
oacine the Columbia Phcnir in the ranks
of the Do-Nothings, we did that journal a
erievous wrong. There can be no thorough
reform in the administration OF our State
affairs, unless public men and public journals
sink individual preferences and labor earnest
" and harmoniously together. We have
decided convictions of our own as to the
line of policy and plan Of action which must
be adopted, if we expect and intend to WIN
But THE News will support the platform
and the nominees OF the June Convention,
whatever and whoever they may be- AND
we ask no more, or less, from our brethren Oh
the press.

Richland Is Awake.

The Columbia PAeuir of yesterday says:
''We notice that steps are elsewhere taken
to arrange for delegates to the convention to
be held in this city, in June next. In this
movement, all citizens, regardless Of color, op-
posed to the present Radical regime, are in
vited to unite We hope that every county
will be fully represented. Rlchland will be
represented. The political duty of the hour
Is before us. 1t is to make vigorous effort
in behalf of reform in our government. Let
all the elements Of opposIslon tn our nrasn"+
corrupt ana ignorant government be united,
and let this question only concern lis: How
shall we give most efficiency to our move
mcnt. &c"

Greeley on Georgia.

Discoursing about Georgia and the plans
of her carpet-baggers, the New York Trt-
bunc gives the Bui!ockites sock-dologer in
this wise:
'When you 90 to the bottom of the case,
YOU find the argument for further reconstruc-
ton amounting to just this: ''Ifyou allow the
'.peoplc Of Georgia to elect new rulers, they
'swont elect u.s." We presume that is So.
But we cannot forever keep the boy out of the
water because he has not learned to swim.
The time must come when Georgia will be
governed as her people shall see fit. Then
why not now {? Ifany more rebel antics are
cut up, have We not the President, the army
and Congress, ready to correct them When
can we safely let Georgia vote, if not now?
1--WE protest against the hang-back policy
that it throws an excessive, pcrilous load upon
the Republicans Of the North Rebel capcrs
do us no harm; on the contrary, they help us.
We carried the country in 1866 largely on the
strength Of the rebel massacre in New Orleans.
The Georgia rebels helped lis immensely in
1868. Ifthcy want to run their heads against
stone wall in 1870, they ought TO have a
chance And they ore quite as likely to do IL
in Georgia rs anywhere else.
"Finally, lctus have done with rcconstruc-
ton. The country is tired and Sick OF it. So
long as any State is held in allegiance, it will
be pausibly urged that the Republicans are
afraid to trust the people. Let us give every
State to herself, and then punish any who vio-
late or defy the guarantees ofpublic and per-
sonal rights now firmly imbeddcd in the con-
stitution. LET Us HAVE PEACE"

The War In Cuba.

The address of General Napoleon arrange
to his countrymen in arms, sets forth tie
opinions and convictions OF one who ELL
braced the cause of the rebellion at the very
beginning, and has now surrendered himself
under the amnesty proclamation OF General
De Rodas. General Arrange believes that
further resistance is useless, and that the
success OF the rebellion is impossible, and
urges his low-countrymen to lay down
their arms and take advantage, as he has
done, OF the clemency OF the Spanish Gov
ernDlent, which 'is ready to draw veil
''over the past, provided the country can be
'paciied, and many tears, much blood and
GLOSS of property be spared.

Tom BRowH's SCHooL-BoY DAYS. By an olu q
ROY New edition. New York: Harper "
Bros. 1870.
The Rev. Thomas Hughes-or "Iom
uuobes." as he is affectionately called on
hotb sides of the Atlantic-iS the preacher
Of n doctrine of mental and physical culture
which is as free from mawkishness on one
side as from beefy muscularity on the other
Tom Browns School Days is only the story
OF the experiences OF Rugby scholar wnlie
the lamented Dr. Arnold was head OF that
wcIl.known public school, but it Is as fresh
as the breezes which blow over the DoWhs
of Berkshire, and as stirring and exciting
as the 'scapes of flood and field. The whole
tone of the book is healthy and vigorous,
and the man who can read it, or the boy
who can read it, and not be cheered and
strengthened. must lie nearly past praying
for. In England this book is classic, and
apart from its literary merit and its value as
q picture of the eternal freshness of many o.
the phases of an older civilization, it de-
series to pass to seventh American edition
for the benefit of the hollow-eyed, narrow,
breasted men who know nothing OF the
sound strength and manly spirit which were
born of English public-schools, before the
dull days OF feverish cramming and competi-
tive examinations The book is well printed
and handsomely illustrated.

THE BAzAn Book OF DECoRUM-The Care OF
the Person, Manners, Etiquette and Cere-
monials. New York: Harper & Bros. 1870.
This book is said by the author to be an
attempt ''to raise the subject of which it
.'treats to its proper connection with health,
"morals and good taste. There is certainly
a great deal of sound sense in the book and
ifit should not prove an infallible guide upon
all occasions, the reason is that no royal
road can be found to good manners and de-
corum we may safely say that it is the
best Book OF Decorum which has come un-
der our notice.

THE THIEVES AccoMPLIcE.

The following article, from the Lancaster
MteNtgencer gives Il succinct account of the
removal of Secretary Cox from the Interior
Department. with the reasons therefor, and
should be preserved as another evidence of
the corruption that charactcrizes the admin
istration of Gen. Grant. Secretary Cox fair
ly and squarely presented the issue ofhonesty
or dishonesty to the powers at Washington,
and fell because of his adherence to the first.
How long are these things to be tolerated by
the American people?
Columbus Delano takes the place of Gen.
Cox as Secretary of the Interior, having been
translated by the President from the Com.
missionership of Internal Revenue. Cox re-
signed because he declared that to carry
out the devices of the Presidents political
friends in his Department, was totally in
consistent with its honest administration
consequently Delano in accepting the office,
subject TO the conditions under which Cox
declined to serve, plainly expresses his read
mess to dishonesty administer it; and Presi-
dent Grant in accepting Cox's resignation for
the reasons assigned, has just as expressly de-
clared that it is his desire that the Depart
ment shall be dishonesty administered. Is
not that clear? And if So is it not equally
clear that Delano is dishonest, and that Grant
is dishonestg Will any one refuse to believe
now that Grant speculated in gold in New
York and in land in San Domingo? Nosci-
tur a soctis and the President, charged
with intimate companionshp with specula-
tors before, has in this Cox affair. declared
himself to be the companion of public thieves
and robbers. Secretary Cox wrote to him
substantially saying, II cannot administer
the Interior Department honestly, if allow
certain of our influential political friends to
NEEDLE with il; and / won't administer it at
ALL unless can administer it honestly; there
fore you must choose between these men and
me; if you want my resignation you can
have it," The President accepted his resig-
nation; and by that act wrote himself down
the alder and abettor of thieves, who live
upon the plumber which they take from the
