Observe tho Triok.

A correspondent (..North') OF the
Union here. writing from Washington,
addresses himself to the colored voters,
and urges them not to break up the
Republican" party of tho State-not to
hand the State over TO the "Confederate
Democracy" The writer makes On art
ful appeal to the fears and prejudices of
the colored voters. It pleads with them,
with tears in eyes. not to abandon the
party. Amongst other remarks, there is
this one: 'This hue and CRY over the
finances of the State is regarded, in Re.
publican circles here, as a Democratic
attempt to discredit Republican admi-
nistration." This is false and absu I'd :;
and yet just such stuff as this is the CO.
lored man called upon to swallow. How
can the above statement be true, when
Radicals themselves, and suoh colored
men as Messrs. Gain, Whipper and
others, and the honest Radical press of
the North, have used just as strong Ian
guage respecting our finances as any
Democratic journal? ''North" simply
suggests what is plainly false. The hue
and cry about our State finances is we'll
understood in Washington and the
North. It is the thieves and swindlers
who profess to construe it as Demo
cratic effort to make party capital. We
hope that this dodge will be found "too
thin" even for the easily fooled colored
man.

"Ihe Democratic party, which was tc

justice, to support the families of those
who worked 80 faithfully for the success
of the cause. Why not?"
We answer, that the Democrats OF thii
State have to work 80 hard to support
the Mieoes that have been, for five years.
eating up their substance, that they are
getting to be scarcely able to support
their own families.
But let us suggest, that, al there is &C

that sympathy to what should be its

guided men. As one of the humbles,
Democrats of the State, this writer pro.

tunate men. and establish, by irrefraga.

date Of presentation. He has also
notified That the January gold interest
will be anticipated. These two offers

Saturday was down to 10S1S. which is
the lowest figure since June, 1862.

decision of the court, upon the motions

By this unanimous decision of the
court, the defence are, We presume, pre-.
oluded from carrying the case to the
United States Supreme Court, upon the
issues made during the trial. Doubtless
way will be found of obtaining the
opinion of the Supreme Court upon the
question whether Congress has the con
stitutional right to suspend the writ of
h1beas corpus in time of profound
peace, and whether that right, if pro-
perly within the powers Of Congress.
may bo delegated to the President. who
may, in turn, delegate that power to any
deputy marshal or subaltern in the SER
vice OF the United States; and also, upon
the question whether Congress can con-
stitutiopally give the Federal courts
jurisdiction over offences punishable bv
the laws Of the States.
The whole question OF the power of
Congress to override, at will, the orpa-
nlo law OF tho Union is involved in these
Ku Klux trials. and it is desirable that
this should be determined by the highest
tribunal in the land, not in order that
the guilty may escape punishment, but
in order That tho riDhta NJ fho MI =

Gated and maintained.
From Judge Bond. we expected no.
thing better than an implicit obedience
to the decision of bis party, ns expressed
refrain from expressing our surprise and
regret that Judge Bryan should, by his
aoquiescence in the opinion of the pre-
siding Judge, prevent the people from

Mr. Sawyer ON tho South Carolina Re-
simo--Whas a Radical Senator from
South Carolina Thinks.
In the United States Senate Senator
Sawyer, on the subject Of somo proposed
amendment to the amnesty bill, said:
''The amnesty bill was so important
and urgent measure Of public policy
that he did not want to have it embar
raised by any other measure, however
meritorious in itself. He believed that
the great mistake in the reconstruction
OF the Southern States was the imposi-
ton OF any political disabilities, and that
it was due to that mistake that his State
(Sonth Carolina) had now government
that was disgrace to the Republican
party and scandal to the country be-
fore the civilized world. The Senator
from Massachusetts. in his zeal for equal
rights, was seeking to tack his amend
ment on to this bill; but the colored peo.
pie at the South, if they could be heard,
would themselves say to that Senator:
Give us amnesty first; we will be sure to
get our rights, sooner or later, nnder
your BILL"
That will do very we'll for Senator
Sawyer. Senator Sawyer is, nndoubtod-
~, the most intellectual man that the
Radicals have now CT have ever had in
South Carolina. His opinion on the
point is entitled to weight. In addition
to this. such intelligent colorod repre-
sentatives of their race as Messrs. Whip
per and Gain agree with Senator Sawyer.
Only white and black corruptionists sup.
port the present dynasty in South Caro-
lima. It is the dynasty of thieves and
swindlers, and we mean what we write
and write what we mean.

Mr.. stanbery's s1ot,oa over-ra,sti.


In our issue OF December %, we al
luded to the important question raised
by the Hon. Henry Stanbely on the 27th
inst, in the United States Court. before
Judges Bond and Bryan. Mr.. Stanbery
raised the question Of tho constifutionality
Of tho enforcement Acts Of Congress, of
1870 and 1871. He raised the question
upon motion in arrest Of Judgment.
We hoped that the Court would divide
on this question, 30 as to have the great
question raised by Mr.. Stanbery carried
directly up to the Supreme Court. That
Judge Bond would have taken the view
he did was to be expected from his ante.
cedents on the bench. Whilst we regret
shat Judge Bryan's mind did not lead
him to q decision more in oonsonance
with Mr.. Stanbery's views OF the oonsti-
tutional points involved, yet we can at
tribute his mental bins only to conscien-
tious, but, as we conceive it, mistaken
opinionss as to the sphere Of Oougress,
the powers of tho General Government
and the relation between 1t and the States
composing the Union. We hoped that
the Court would divide in opinion. AS
it is, We trust that Messrs. johnson and
Stanbery will now proceed to put the i'm
Portant question Of the constitutionality
OF the Enforcement Acts of 1870 and
1871 before the Supreme Court, by pro-
ceedings of ha6eds corpus and certiorari
Let ns, in come way, have solution oi

in Mr.. Stanbery's motion.
