Beaufort Republican. [volume] (Beaufort, S.C.) 1871-1873, 1872-02-08

1t will be seen that the Counties of
Beaufort Charleston, COletOn, Eigeticld,
Kershaw and Olangeburg are to loose by
the new apporliunnrnt, while Abbcvll!e,
Darlington, Fairfield Liurens, Newperry;
ard Pi * ms are 10 galns and the ne"
Count, of Aiken, which before bad neither
existence nor representation, is TO have
four members.
Ou Thursday, further time was granted
to the commtte on Phosphate companles
to report. In the house new Blue Ridge
railrOad bill was introduced little more
modest in it's demands on The treasury,
but yet sufficiently ''cheeky" to bar
deal Of pruulng. In the Senate the b IL
to abolish the Office of auditor passed to
third reading.
NEW DEPARTURE.
neglected to notice last week the sc
cession Of Col J. p Thomas. from the
editorial chair Of the PhRntr. aud the
establishment Of The Spuh CdrOti"inn
There is more in this apparently personal
quarrel than appears on The face. 1t Is
the beeiupiny Of movement which is
growing in favor TO bring all parties into
fusion who are favorable to d. cent
ticket in the next campaign. Col. Thomas
desires nothing but stra'ght.out demo-
cratic ticket, while Mr.. Selhy is willing
to work with any party or any men who
will aid IN bringing honesty, ability and
exprrie nee into the field against rascaliiy,
ignorance and incompetence. Just as the
liberal republicans are crystalizing around
them every form Of opposition to Grant
in the West, 50 it is hoped that similar
movement NAV he carried forward to sue
cess in this State l. is evident To all
observers that the drift OF events is in
this direction all over the Union. Its
strength may be seen in that very strong
republican district in Philadelphia recent
" contested by Col Alex Mcclure with
the regular candidate. The democrats
united hrartly with the liberals and very
nearly carried the day, in the face of
heavy majority and perfect organization
ON the part Of therepublican party. Such
lessons should be needed in South Carroll
ma, where. it is to he feared we are too
secure in orr 30 600 majority. ] send
YOU an editorial Of the Ph9nir which will
bear me out in my predictions as to its
course. Col. Thomas makes good pa
per, d w p'''Si'uShC'o
His politics Of course are of the bitterest
kind, and will find an echo only from
those who have forgotten nothing and
learned nothing since 1861.
A SENSIBLE SPEECH.
In the House on Monday, Hunter of
Charleston made very angry, vitupera.
tive speech on bill relative to the Odd
Fellows Society Of Charleston. He was
follow ed by Gen. Whipper who reminded
the little man from Charleston that it was
no part of the policy OF the colored peo-
pie to stir up or revive feelings Of haired
and bitterness between the races; that
such course might he prescribed by their
enemies to insure their determination, but
that intelligent colored men or white men
who ment well to their race must see that
it was for their interest to forget the api.
mosities that had existed, obIterate the
old time distinctions Of caste, and assume
in the dignity of manhood the newly ac-
guired rights that Providence had given
them.
10 the Senate. Gen. Smalls introduced
bill to provide for the appointment of an
inspector of phosphates.
