RaklnG In tho Ashes OF the Past.
There is no question of "Black
Oode," that We are aware OF, to be pre-.
sented to the voters OF South Carolina
at the ensuing election. The Union
Herald has discovered SON ething which
it designstes by this opprobrioua term.
which was once far back in the dim
past. considered, and, as it says. passed
in a general Act in this State. Will
the Herald please give US trentise on
original sin, or the persecution oil
witches in Massachusetts2 It would
be just as appropriate as it's stage
thunder on defunct and forgotten
code. Will it also study and profit by
the following passage, from an article
in the last Nation, entitled, "Some
Considerations for both North and
South"
"There is one thing, in which the
treatment of :he Southern problem, by
large proportion Of tho Republican
press, is without excuse, and that is,
the amount OF attention they bestow
on the consideration of what might
have BEEN at the South at the close of
the war. Whenever you call the at.
tention of large GLASS Of writer's to the
evils Of negro rule, they tell you that
1t Is the fault of the white men, who
ought, at the close of the war. to have
taken the negroes at once into their
confidence, and have bestowed equal
rights on them instead of passing black
codes. There is no doubt they ought;
but If they had, it would have been an
act of almost superhuman wisdom. To
expect anything Of the kipd from So
clety like that of the Southern whites
at the close Of the war, with their
training, b ,bits. education, experience
and mental and moral condition, was
ridiculous; and it was doubly ridicu.
lous on the part of those who had been
most active in depicting the evil inhu-
ences of slavery. What The Southern
whites tried to do with the emanoipa-
ted blacks was the logical and natural
result OF their situation, character and
antecedents. They acted as slave.
holders beaten in battle ought to act.
We got angry with them because they
did not act as the members of the anti
slavery societies would have acted, and
we have treated them ever since as we
might treat Wendell Phillips if we had
caught him trading in negroes. In
other words. we are furious with the
South because the obvious and ineyi-
table facts Of the situation are not suoh
as We should have liked. 1t ie, how
ever, with the real South-the South
as slavery and the war left it-ihat we
have to deal, and not with the South
as phiianthropic imaginations at the
North dream Of it."
Codes indeedi Give US some news
OF the fl ,od and Noah's ark. Launch
out into criticism to show that it was
not built as we'll as a Yunkee could
have built it.

work in the basement. from whore she
could easily hear the least noise. On
the morning in question. she heard
the little one growing as usual, but
finally noticed that the sounds ceased,
and shortly after heard a strange,
gurgiing noise. Supposing that the
child had got ifs head under the bed.
clothes and was suffocating, she run
up stairs to see about it, nnd found
the house. cat with its nose in the
child's month. The child was strun-
gled black. and was fighting feebly
with her hands. She caught the child
and shook 1t several times, when it
caught its breath, and came out all
right. In few moments more it
would probably have been ttrunRled
to death. Mrs. Doloway had to pull
the cat off the child, so eager was it to
remain. It had paw on either sido

pressed deeply into the child's mouth.
The cat wns instantly killed.
