W. We had to record many daring acts 9

Hart, Private Secretary to the Governor,
who happened to be near by, called assistance
to band, when Mr.. Singleton, a member ol

The Truth PLAINLY Stated.

The question now that seems to engage the
thoughts of Gov. Scott and others, (says the
Columbia Phoenir,) is how can peace be preserv-
ed and genuine tranquility restored to this dis
turbed State. Many of our cotemporaries have
expressed their opinion as to the means by which
the troubled waters shall bo quieted. The Gov
ernor is urged to disarm the colored militia, to
appoint honest and cable officials, to discounten-
ance corruption and fraud, to administer his Of
6ce fairly and impartially, and to show that lay
ing all personal and party views aside, he intends
to prove himself the guardian of the interests of
all the people of the State. This is woll. This
looks to peace and an improved state of things.
But let 70 one be deceived. These remedies can
not reach the seat of disease. Apply these rem
sdies, and you may reduce inflammation, but you
will not eradicate the disease. The trouble lies
ieep. There can be no doubt about this. To
relieve the State, the State regime must be chang
ed root and branch. For US to get complete re-
lief it would be necessary to change the whole
machinery of the State Government. We have
now a state of things unnatural, abnormal and
illogical. And there can be no genuine and last
ing peace until this State passes into other hands,
and we are RENTED " to cheerful and wholesome
selfgovernment." Until this period, We must do
all that is possible to improve our surroundings,
but South Carolina cannot be tranquil and pros
porous until she stands redeemed Of tho infu-
ences that now control her destinies.

Fearful Anarchy and Bloodshed in
Paris.

It is much to be regretted that the Theirs gov
ernment exhibits so little energy and determine
ton in Paris. The luckless city is prey to au-
archy and violence. Tho insurgent National
Guards are in almost complete possession of the
city, and their bloody and reckless atrOcity may
be judged of from the fact that they have cap
tured three or four leading Generals, among them,
Chanzy, LeCompte and Thomas, and shot them
to death, mutilating their remains after death.
The government troops when sent against the
insurgents, in almost all cases fraternize with
them. The people are apathetic and seem to care
for nothing. In the meantime, Theirs and his
cabinet have retired to Versailles, and are about
to fly thence to Tours. The Red Republicans,
now in the ascendant, are about to organize q
government of their own. 1t is thought the Ger
man forces will reoccupy their. former posts if
the disorder in Paris continues.
