over the VOTES Of their white dependents,
bat who arc Bow reduced Ia influence aud
wealth By the results Of the war. and Of
the poor white. who has found himself As
he supposed, degraded by the elevation
Of the negro TO political equality with
him,-his voie before having been the
chief badge Of his Superiority aud who
now sees the negro not only voting, but
ruling the state, in Office with or over his
former master, or struggling with the evils
Of property on beginning life for himself
after the best yeau Of his life have been

All these elements beget feelings and
result in disorders to which northern CON-

tanned men, however mistaken, IN resisting

submission to its authority, the sincerity
of whose belief was attacked by their
enormous sacrifice of life and treasure
this feeling cannot 6e expected to subside
at once nor in years. 1t required full 40
years to develop disafection into sedition,
and seditiOn into treason. Should We not
be patient if in less than ten years we
have fair prospect Of seeing so many
who we're armed enemies becoming obedi-
ent citizens? Should We not give all en-
couragement 10 those who manifest dis
position now to become such? especially
when it is shown that in many sections
well disposed men were deferred by fear
Of the power of an armed and desperate
conspiracy from affordlng aid to the au-
ihorities in enforcing the law?
The law of 1871 has been effective in

North and South Carolina.
The results of suspending the writ of
labeas corpus in South Carolina show that

Oh. A bill admitting free of duty the statue
designed by Admiral Porter, aud intended to

MONTGOMERY, Dec ll.-About clock to-
day while the capital Legislature was in session
Sheriff Strobach appeared IN the Senate and
said he had warrant from Gov. Lewis to take
possession of the capitol. whereupon the Sen
ate ordered the sergeant at arms to arrest the
sheriff for contempt, and hold him in custody
fortyeight hours, dating from noon. The
sheriff did not resist the arrest, but explained
that he was merely acting under orders, and on
appologizing to the Senate was released. For
u few moments the excitement was intense,
and the federal troops stationed near the capt.
tol got under arms, but DO necessity appearing,
dispersed to their quarters.
! The Senate authorized the sergeant-at-arms
to summon posse to the capitol against all but
the federal forces and adjourned.
The sheriff appeared before the door of the.
House but the sergeant alarms refused admit
lance except to the federal forces and the
sheriff Withdrew.
The Legislature, in the court room, admitted
to seat another person who had according to
the official rsturns been defeated by large
majority.
