On Monday morning the news was
brought us that the French Capital had
capitulated, and an armisticc concluded
between Bismarck and Jules Favre, for
period of three weeks. This maybe
considered as the end of the Franco
Prussian war. .-.
The misery which the struggle has
caused is untold the treasure wasted
enormous, and the hate engendcred
between the combatants perfectly fu-
rious.
We can sympathizc with the con-
quered, although not with the feelings
which actuated the prime movers in
bringing on the war. An uuholy strug-
glo prompted by motives of self-aggran-
dizcment, it has ended in the complete
overthrow of tho ambitious schemes
and purposes of those who "let slip the
dogs of war"

The Charleston Republican.

We have noticed with much satisfac.
tion, the stand taken by the Republican,
in regard to the political situation in
South Carolina. We have at last found
an honest Republican in the editor oi
that sheet, who darcs oppose the horri
bic corruption, the open and notorious
bribery in which the Legislators of the
State are stepped. When one looks back
upon the promises of the most promi
nent and respectable Republican off.
cials, made during the late campaign;
and then turns to their fulfilmcnt as
evidenced by the actions Of the mem
bers of the General Assembly, what
faith can be placed upon their asscr,
tions, or how can it be asked Of US to
throw aside all our convictions, all our
honesty and all our patriotism, and
support such horrible perjury and dis
houesty?
Our predictions have been more
than verified. We did not conceive
that it were possible for men so to sink
and degrade themselves in moral cor
ruption, as our opponents have done.
No parallel can be found in the history
of nations, since the creation Of the
world, to the truly awful degradation
which the sworn representatives of this
State, now affords.
Those honest men who clung to what
they were pleased to term the "Rcpub.
lican Party" in the late canvass, must
now sec that they have been deceived
and invciglcd iuto supporting party
from which all honest men turn away
with absolute loathing..
The question is, will they continue
to adhere to that party? Can honest
men afford to do it?
We coufcss ours elves unable to see
upon what grounds continued allegiance
to them can bc justified. With the
record of all their infamy before them,
with knowledge Of still deeper infamy,
known only to the initiated, with the
knowledge that their own chosen leader
Gov. Scott, has at last refused longer to
submit tamcly and silently to the stream
Of wrot 6 and oppression that has been
bearing down upon him, with the knowl-
edge that if they come out aud openly
oppose it.with Governor Scott, they will
be countenanced and upheld by the
'intelligercc and virtue Of South Car
olina, how can honest men hesitate?

Indigcnt farmers Of kcrshaw, hide

asreny. The Bill to afford $4,000 OF
relief to you, has died ere its birth
The Committee have reported untavor-
ably upon it. The three Commissioners
at a salary Of $500 each, fillunknown
graves. Their bright dreams have not
been realized. This bastard Of the
"Freedmcn's Bureau" has gone to his
rest, let US hope forever. Twice has
this Bill been introduced aud twice has
it met the above fate. Let it rest in peace

Earthly. Sensual. DcyilisVi.

There is q class Of men in this State
now allied with the Republican Party,
who, as rule, hold Office mere y for
the purpose of doing all they can to in
jure those whom they are pleased to
1crm "aristocrats. From u hatred to
those who move in what is called the
best society, these men, solely because
they were not allowed to affiliate with
that society, on account Of total unllt-
ness to minglc with any gcntecl people,
have taken advantage Of the fact that the
"bdttom rail is on top" to excite dead,
ly 'animosity between the white and
cvlorcd people. They delight in speak
iny Of all whites, as "Jol my Rcb's." the
"old aristocracy," or some other such
.appelIation, calculated to break down
any friendship which good people seek
to cultivate. Some Of this class have
been, aud are, broken down gamblers
and worse, yet 50 keen is their hatred,
SO blind their wrath, that they still
seek to keep up irritation and malice
between the races, not seeing that trul y
noble men look darn upon their crawl
ing and squirlning track with utter
contempt. These "oipcrs which creep
where man disdains to crawl," afford the
rcompletest illustration Of creatures
a"carthly sensual, devilish."

spurned by all who value peace and
harmony. Many an official head might

Reading Room:

The present age is rich in literature
and science. Daily, new thoughts are
springins up and old ones are being
developed with new beauty Here the
mind finds posture where it can grow
in its richness, and rcvel in its exubc'
rance. But many minds are stint
ed, and some starving, notwitbstand,
ing the rich abundance around
them, because few can bear the ex-
pense ofsuch intellectual luxurics, and
many are ignorant of their existence.
by establishing a Reading Room in
our town these difficulties may be met.
In combination a small expense to each
individual may furnish wide scope OF
reading to all, and many who have
been unaccustomed to reading may be
led to know and appreciate privileges
before unknown.
Furthermore, such an institution will
be a happy event to the young of our
community. The young mind will be
employed uscfdlly, noby or otherwise,
and the many exuberance Of our litcra-
ture bripgs with it much that is banc-
full, upon which the young feed to their
dctriment. But a judicious selection
Of our current literature will furnish
hcalthful and agreeable reading for
them, and reduce the danger Of their
reading that which is injurious. Will
the leading citizens and young mcn of
our town take this matter in hand and
inaugurate the institution ?
What say you? Mr.. Editor.

Moro Outra"eS.

Our exchanges bring us tiGings Of
serious outragcs in York County, burn
d ing Of barns and gin.houses, and whip
ping Of colorcd men by parties unknown.
iii-. We had, hoped that the reign of
. aterror in this State had ceased, and
that citizens, white aud colorcd, were
a.engagcd in cultivating better state of
feeling among each other, than the
p 4 aforesaid news would indicate, but it
seems that we are mistaken, and that
bad blood still seeks vent for its
blackhearted schemes.
;: If there is one thing more than an-
other, which should be visited with
condign punishment, it is just such
crimes as house burning and whipping
of citizens of South Carolina, by men
who arc enemies to her peace and vel
fare. We do not mean to be unjust or
uncharitable, but in our opinion Messrs.
Whippor, Crews & Co., of the General
Assembly, know more Of the York OUT
RACES than they care to tell. Review
the career of Crews, especially, and
mark nc total absence Of outbreak and
violence in Laurens County, when the
carcass Of that miserable wretch is re-
moved from its vicinity. Note the
course of the white livercd lout in rela-
tion to the hiring of the New York
roughs for the purposes Of numbering
Cols L, 2. Todd, and others, but os-
rtensibly for guarding the workmcn at
the Union Gold Mines Note the eva
sive and unsatisfactory reply Of the
poltroou, to the charges made by the
said roughs. Note his anxiety to keep
the circumstances, from getting into
print. Then note the fact that Mr..
Whipper is Brigadier- General of the
Militia his tremendous effort to have
csthc Counties of Union, Laurens, and
Others, declared to be in a state of in.
surrcciion. Note the fact that his
Brigade is more thoroughly equipped

TWIN RELICS OF BARBARIsM.

The Enquirer has the following: a re-
cent telegram from New York city said:
A lady calling herself Mrs. Hortemse
Watson, alleged to be the wife of Judge
Watson, of California, was prosecuted
by the proprietor of the Coleman House
to-day for her hotel bill. Having no
means of payment, Judge Shandley sent
her to the penitentiary for two months.
She swOoned on hearing the sentence.
Where are the representative men of
the period? And why don't some one of
'em go to the penitentiary in her stead
They are willing TO vote for her, hold Of
flee for her, try her, sentence her and 50
on, according to their ideas of represen-
tation, but why in the name of consist
eney don't they submit to Imprisonment
for her in order to carry out their idea OF
protection?
All, gentlemen! your dodges are un-
derstOod You are no longer able to
make the "arrived woman" believe that
you are honest in your protestations oi
protection to the "weaker SEX" whose
greatest charm, ysu tell us, is in hel
weakness and dependence upon the meI
who mercilessly compel her to bear the
personal penalties of her man-madC
misfortune.
