NOT READY FOR THE CHANGE OF
GOVERNMENT

Mr.. Beccher who began the war
of ideas shrinks from the consequent
ces when he discovers that the sys-
tenn of military coersion, begun
against the South, can only end in q
radical change of government
Speaking of the Ku Klux Bill, he
says:
"The attempt to secure order and
morality in the South by Federal
military suasion at this day, is an I'M
pertinence not to be tolerated. JUS
tice and order in the Southern States
are exceedingly desirable, but they
cannot be imported thither The
bayonet and the conscience arc new
or good friends. 1t may be needtul
to maintain the framework of socie-
ty and the form of government by
force. Bnt that done, force cannot
make men kind, just, generous or
peaceable. Even if force could
work obedieuce, to use force upon
such scale in time of peace, so'H
essentially change the nature Of ow
Government and that as too large a
price to payJor order IN a hundred
AlabamaS or L0aisianaS. "

COL. w. d. ANDERSON.

q -
s'Justice," a correspondent OF the
Atlantis SIM, speaks in the following
paragraph Of one of our County rep
resen.atives. The Sun had been
praising Mr.. Shumate and "Justice"
asks
''What have you to say about the
Hon. VIM. D. Anderson, man than
whom nobler or more honorable
does not breathe. A man of ac-
knowledged ability, uncompromis-
ing integrity, and the present and
most lofty patriotism-a man whose
integrity and honesty is known and
admitted of all. A man Of unques-
toned ability, in whom his com
peers and constituents had and have
the fullest and most implicit conf
dencc "a man who did more to de-
feat the various schemes for plumber
than any other one man in the Leg
islature."

TIE NATIONAL DEMOCRACY.

The N. Y. World pronounces all
living political issues dead, and de-
mauds of the national democracy
that they be buried. We must go
in the fight solely with view to win,
regardless of all points Of political
doctrine. The Savannah Repub-
lican accepts the terms proposed
with reservations. Such acceptance
may be the best policy but there is
some ground to fear that in thus con
senting not TO denounce usurpatlons
already accomplished and to disclalm
a purpose Of defending Constitution
al liberty, the country may be but
slightly benefited by democratic
success. The Republican says;
ssWhat we of the South want is the
destruction Of the Radical regime, a
faction which has corrupted every
department of the government and
is rapidly driving the country into
revolution and ruin. We insist on
no particular manner of defeating
that party. We only demand that
the party seeking our cooperation
in this great work of deliverance and
Iiberty-as we honestly conceive it
to be--shalI not accept or endorse
any Of the usurpations and outrages
that have been put upon the country
by the common enemy. Once IN
power, the South, as will clearly be
her right, will expect the Democrat
ic party to remedy all abuses in the
| body polite, Of whatever nature
| We shall not ask them to abolish ne
gro suffrage. The South does no
desire to make any such issue in the
coming Presidential election. Blu
there is one thing which she does de
sire though not in the spirit Of dicta
ton: 1t is that the Radical party
shall not be allowed to skulk behint
this negro question, and what it in
geniously and deceitfully character
ICES as "the legitimate results OF tn
war; to overthrow free republican
government on this continent ant
reduce the States to the condition 0
abjcct dependencies of a centralized
despotism at Washington. In TIN
issue the North is as much interest
ed as the South, and the Democra
cy should unmask the infamous ant
treacherous plot of their opponents
They have played the game of Ku
Klux enveloped in the black skin o
the negro long enough, and their wa
upon the liberties of the white rae,
should be exposed and confounded.

THE KU KLUx BILL.

From Washington the l4th inst,
we have the following in reference
to the KuKlux bill:
The Senate passed the Ku-klux
bill, with its amendments proposed
by the Judiciary Committee. One
Of these amendments strikes out the
repeal test oath for United States ju'
rors, leaving the law as at present.
Another, by Sherman, is worded as
follows: That if any house, tene
ment, cabin, shop, building, barn, or
granary shall be unlawfully or fell
oniously demolished, pulled down,
burned or destroyed, wholly or in
part, by any persons, riotously and
unanimously assembled together, and
if such offence was committed to de .
priye any person of any right con-
ferred upon him by the Constitution
and laws of the United States, or to
deter him from, or punish him for ex-
ercising any such right, or by reason
of his race, color previous condition
Of seryitude, in every such case in
habitants Of the county, city or par
ish in which any of the said often
ces shall be committed shall be la
! bic to pay full compensation to the
person or persons damni6ed by such
offence, if living, or to the legal rep
resentative of the dead, and such
compensation may be recovered by
such person, or his representative,
by a suit in any Court of the Unite d
States, of competent jurisdiction, in
the district in which the offence was
committed, to be in the name of the
person injured or his legal reprcsen-
tative, and against said county, city
or parish, and the execution may be
issued on a judgment rendered in
such suit, and may be levied upon
any property, real or personal, OF
any person IN SAID county, city OF
parish, and the said city, county OF
parish which may have satisfied said
judgment, or the person out of whose
property said judgment shall have
been satisfied, as the case may be,
may recover the full amount of said
judgment, costs and interest, from
any person engaged as principal or
accessory in such riot, in an action
in any Court of competent jurisdic-
ton, and the person out Of whose
property such judgment shall have
been satisfied shall, in such case
have contribution as at common law,
and the Circuit of the United States
for proper District shall have juris
diction of such action.
The bill passed by a vote of As tc

THE wRETCHED CONDITION OF
SOUTH CAR oLINA.

The condition of South Carolina,
as depicted in the second letter of
ex. Governor Perry to Governor Scott
is such as to excite the warmest SYM
pathy in behalf of the oppressed
white people of that State, and the
strongest Indignation against the
ravening wolves-worse than that
hyenas, who are preying upon them,
The following paragraphs tell the
melancholy story:
The government of the State is in
the hands of our former slaves, and
vile adventures, who have come
here from the North to prey upon
the vitals of the country, dishonor
the State, and return laden with
stolen wealth. The intelligence and
wealth of the State are powerless, in
capable of holding office, and crush
ed into the dust by ignorance, pau
perism and rascality. Taxes are
levied on them by those who pay no
taxes and own no property. All the
offices of the State arc filled with
negroes, scalawags and carpet-bag-
gers. Is it to be expected that a
heightened, brave and honorable
people would be quiet under the cir
cumstances, and see their property
destroyed by rougish and ignorant
legislation9
Several of our most important
railroads have fallen into the hands
of Northern adventures. BY the
grossest bribery and corruption the
Legislature has been induced to re
lea Sc the lien of the State on these
roads, amounting to millions of dol
lars, and have issued 81, 100000 of
State bonds for the same companies,
with the privilege of selling them at
any price and pocketing the money.
Again the Legislature have ordered
100000 of State bonds to be is
sued, which they call sterling debt,
and which are to be exchanged for
the present bonds of the State. 1t
has been shown that this exchange
of bonds, if honestly made, will cost
the State over 81, 100000. But this
is not all. The fraud and stealage
which may be practiced in issuing
these sterling bonds cannot be fore
seen or calculated. Four hundred
thousand dollars before the war paid
the whole expenses of the State
Government. This year taxes to
the amount of 81, 100000, have been
levied by the Legislature for the
same purpose. And the county
commissioners will have to levy ST.
900, 900 more for county expenses.

STAND BY CHARLESTON.

The action ofthe chamber of Com
MERGE and the Board of Trade OF
Charleston willlead to serious results.
We have been opposed to any resis-
lance to the laws of the State until we
were certain that our condition would
be bettered by such a resistance
But these gentlemen have, after
careful deliberation, come to the
conclusion that in the refusal to pay
the taxes levied lies the only hope of
saving the State from ruin. Although
regretting the inevitable troubles that
must now arise, we believe it to be
the duty of the people of the whole
State to stand by the citizens of
Charleston, aud not let the people Of
that city, who are no more interested
in this matter than we are, bear all
the burdens. 1t is. recommended
that a convention Of the taxpayers
be held on the second Tuesday in
May.

THE DOMINANT SPIRIT.

1t is said that those who lead and
direct radical politics aim at the
ruin of the South. This is not the
obiect--but the means of its attain
mept. The object is change Of
government and it is necessary that
some portion of the country should
be the first upon which the absolu-
tionists may try their hands. Let
US endure in patience never fearing
that our lot will be finally no worse
than others.

FEDERAL INSPIRATIONS ILLUS
TRATED BEFORE THE SUPREME
COURT.

In arecent decision before the Su-
prcmc Court OF the United States,
on one Of the various arbitrary laws
that have been put upon the coun-
try of late years, Judge Black OF
Pennsylvania submitted brief that
illustrates Radical aggression most
forcibly, and shows up their govern
ment in anything but favorable
light. We quote;
| think can illustrate my idea OF
these different sorts Of construction
by reference to very old grant, /
believe the oldest one on record Of
which the terms are distinctly made
known.
About the time of the Trojan war,
or a little before, a Phmnieian king
was as8assinatcd in the city of Tyre.
His widow was compelled to leay e
tho country, and she led out con-
siderable colony. They sailed down
the Mediterranean until they came
to a place on the northwest coast of
Africa, which was afterward called
Carthage. There they concluded to
make settlement. But the difficult
ty was to get foothold in the coun-
try for the native princes and peo-
pie had full dominion over all the re-
gion round about. After some bar
gaining they got grant, the limits
of which were rather curiously de
fined. 1t authorized the grantees to
take as much ground as could be en-
closed by certain number of bulls
hides. Inside of that space the
Tyrians were to have political juriS-
diction, as well as a proprietary
right to the soil But it was ex-
pressly agreed, and all parties swore
to observe the compact, that all the
land outside of the bullskins should
belong forever to the original own
ers, and be controlled by their own
governments. In other words, the
powers, privileges and property, not
included in the grant, were reserved
to the States respectively and the
people who were the grantors. The
strict, that is TO say, the honest con-
struction of this grant would be to
take the hides just as they came from
the beasts backs, and lay them
down, touching one another in cir
Gle or square.
There is poctical tradition that
one of the Queens counsellors pro-
posed to do this; but he was an old
fashioned Jeffersonian, and his ad-
vice was not adopted. The latitu-
Librarians cut the hides up into
the narrowest thongs they could
make, tied them together, and in
that way included as much land as
they needed for a large city, with a
great deal of outlying territory be-
sides. That is what | call loose
construction of Dido's grant but
still it was RECONSTRUCTION. 1t show
ed some RESPECT for the grant itself
that while they we're not willing to
be confined within, perhaps, the just
limits oft, they still acknowledged
the obIigotion to stay inside of it,
according TO some rule. After a
while, however, they set at naught |
even their own construction, and |
basely used the granted power to
strip the graptofs ofthe rights re- |
served. They went over the lines |
set by themselves and took possess
