There is some talk of having hay
market established on some of the back
streets. This would be a good thing,
Farmers would know just where to 20 to
find customers, and purchasers would know
just where to 60 to find hay, and Washing
ton avenue and St. German street might be
kept free of the dirt and litter which &C
cumulates under the system or rather want

"Kar1sas passed through hard winter.

and the prospect is equally bad for the com

At a fire in a large city, while
the upper stories Of q lofty
dwelling were wrapped in
smoke and the lower stories all
aglow with fame, q tpiercing
shrek told the startled firemen
that there was some one still in
the building in peril. Aladder
was quickly reared, until it
touched the heated walls, and
diving through the flames and
somke a brave young fireman
rushed up the rounds on his
errand Of mercy. Stif1ed by
the smoke, he stopped, and
seemed about to decend. The
crowd was i'll agony, as a life
seemed lost, for every moment
Of hesitation seemed an age.
While this shivering fear seized
every beholder, a voice from
the crowd cried out, 'scheer
him cheer him !" and a wild
"hurrah" burst from the excit-
led spectators. As the cheer
reached the fireman, he started
upward through the curling
smoke, aud in q few moments
was seen coming down the
ladder with q child in bis arms
That sheer did the work. How

very Governor of the State is a
thief. The Legislature is a
gang of thieves. Is this a "Re-
publican Government, "such as
the Constitution expressly
guarantees to all the States?
We venture to say that it |
is not-that, on the contrary it |
is a government of which the
Republic has every reason to
be ashamed. No doubt the
system introduced as a "war
measure" into the South after
the war-dhiefy upon the ad-
vice of Senator Sumner and
Thaddeus Stevens-was expe-
rimental; but can we. wonder
that people everywhere begin
to ask how long the expert
ment is to last? There should
at least be some signs of i'm
provement visible astime goes
on. Nine years have passed
since the close of the war, and
is South Carolina better gov
erned than she was thens She
clearly is not so well governed
as she was under a purely mill
itary rule. The same must be
said, 'smntatis mntandis," !" of
Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas,
and Arkansas. Now, It's fol.
| " to suppose that the Repub-
lican party, as an organization
will continue, much longer to
look on with perfection at this
great failure. The leaders Of
the present moment may not
pay any attention to the sub
1ject; but if they do not, other
leaders will arise who will see
that Justice is done. Last week
we all witnessed the United
States Senate engaged for
about twenty-four hours at a
stretch passing a bill for the
benefit of the negro, merely

right OF States to govern them |
selves is as dear to the people |
as ever it was. And it ought |
to be dear to them, for when
they abandon it they will have
utterly forsaken the system of
established under
the Federal G Constitution. They
may set up something else in
its place, which may be called
by any name that may please
the persons then living; but it
will not be the government de-
signed by the founders Of the
Constitution. It may be a civil
polity based upon parliamen-
tary rule, or it may be a mon
archy or a despotism; but it
will no longer be a constitu-
tional republic, such as we
have seen here for nearly a
hundred years. Weasay, then,
that when Mr.. Eaton talks of
the necessity Of maintaining
State Rights, and of giving the
citizens of South Carolina the
same freedom which the citi-
zens of Connecticut.enjoy, it is
not enough to allege that he is
a "copperhead," !" and to fling at
him the missiles which dark
ened the air between 1861 and
1866. If the citizens of the
South are living in a state of
oppression, Mr.. Eaton is right
in calling attention to their sit
uation; if they are suffering
from Injustice, the nation at
large will never tolerate its
continuance, and, therefore, the
sooner the injustice is redress
ed the better.
All such questions as these
should be dealt with frankly.
