WhaI Does the Pilot Think ?

The Pilot was terribly enraged with
the New York Times for its exposure of
South Carolina misrule, and went so far
as to read that gigantic newspaper con
Germ out of its party for presuming to call
public attention to the subject. But
what does the Pilot think now, when Mr.
Elliott, the colJred Congressman from
South Caroljna-whose Civil Rights
speech it published recently, follows in the
wake of the n. Y. Times and denounces
the very iniquities that paper had held
up to public indignation? Mr.. Elliott
delivered a speech in Columbia, a few
days ago, which is thus reported
He rasped the State administration
without mercy for its violation of its most
solemn pledges, and washed his hands of
all participation in it's bad faith. The
salvation of "the Republican party" he
declared, depended upon its instant. re-
form of existing abuses. If you 90 to
the North, he said, and mention the name
Of South Carolina, you will find the es-
innate that they will put upon it there.
the sneeIs of the Commonwealth of the
North. When corruption was spoken of
in other States, it was a different thing
but when it was spoken of in South
Carolina, 1t 1CGs charged to negro goUerIs-
mlerat. 1t aoGs, therefore, the duty of the
cOLored people of South Carolina to demon
Strate to the aOorLd that they desired an hon
est government. 1t was time that they
did something to remove this stigma.
The negroes, being in the majority, were
responsible and instead of lettering things,
appeared to be growing worse There
must be reform, and all who stand in the
way it, must be removed.
Here, then, is an echo of the identical
sentiment of the New York Times, from
the most prominent and popular of all
the colored leaders. The Pilot will note
further, that the words in italics embody
the same counsel we ourselves have
given to the colored people, viz: That,
being the majority of the dominant party
in this State, they will be held RESPONSE
BILE for the consequences. of the wicked
rule inflicted by the ''unscrupulous ad- |
venturers," whose lead they have fol-
lowed. We havesaid that their duty was
to assert their independence of these self
seekers. The South Carolina colored
people, seeing the difficulties into which
their treacherous guides have led them. |
intend to set up for themselves; and hence
we are not surprised that Elliott himself
will be candidate for Governor on a
Reform Platform against the ticket of the
Adventures.

The Proposed Executive Mansion
and Capitol Ground APPrOPrfa-

With Warrants on the Treasury down
to sixfy-fve and seventy cents on the dol
lar, and expenditures still running ahead
of receipts, Notwithstanding the enor-
nous rate of taxation, nothing could be
more preposterous than the proposition
to make appropriations for the Executive
Mansion on which fifty or sixty thousand
dollars have been expended during the
past few years, and for the decoration OF
the Capitol Grounds-the real object OF
both schemes being, We suppose, to far-
nish profitable jobs for imperunious IN
diyiduals. This is no time for decori-
tons and improvements The poor tax
payers who dig out OF the ground the
money by which the wheels of the State
government are kept moving, cannot at
ford it. The Executive incumbent and
the Capitonian browsers must content
themselves with the luxuries which are
already provided for them. They must
get along with their present quarters.
The men in want of jobs, must get into
some other employment. Let them take
hold of the plow,-the shovel-and the
hoe-and throw themselves upon the
kindness of Mother Earth, who never
fails to honor the drafts which toiling
hands draw upon her. Under existing
circumstances, it is crime to vote away
the public money for purposes not abso-
lutely essential

We are glad to announce the passage
of the bill reducing the pay of County Gu
perintendent, recommended BY the Gov

of members of the Legislature at $500 per

the present per diem system. The merit
of the new bill consists in It's removal Of

1t is remarkable that the Superinten-
dent of Public Education takes issue
with the Governor on the question of
reducing the pay of County School Super
intendent. Notwithstanding the Cover
nor's earnest appeal for reduction, the
head ofthe Department through the OFF,
cial Organ, deprecates it as measure cal
culated to undermine and destroy the pub
lie school system, and the organ itself seems
TO favor the view of the Superintendent.
A decided majority of the House, however.
has sustained the Executive, and we have
reason to believe there will be no lack of

the office at the proposed reduc-
ton.

RECoNsrRrCTsoc HEsTORV-
UnpabRsslnel Letter from the Late
Judge Bhnrkey. and Reply.
WASHINGTON, CITx,
April 10, 1867. !

HASHIN9zON, OAx4,
April 10, 1867.
j. w. R.. ESQ.
DEAR ErR-I received your esteemed
favor of the 9Th yesterday, and this
morning set down TO answer it. If |
should display little i'll temper, you
wiz excuse me, am sure. Ihave heard
enough from Mississippi to make me ait
tie cross. must confess that it is little
unpleasant to me to know that We have
a Radical party in Mississippi, headed by
A. G. Brown, Wiley Harris and +.
Barksdale yet so it is understood here.
Barksdale, / see, is now delivering law
lectures, and from his first numbers, he
promises fair to succeed in his new voca-
ton.
You know that thought we had
remedy in the Supreme Court for the
evils that threatened us, and even before
the military acts finally passed, | had a
bill for an injunction drawn and ready to
present to the Court but it adjourned I'M
iii the first of April, and on last Friday l
presented my bill, but was not permitted
to file it until next motion day, friday
when the question will come up whether
/ shall ever have permission to file 1t.
Fortunately, We have Humphreys, (who
was not a secessionist), for Governor,
and he has stood by me manfully, and
like true son OF. Mississippi, whilst
others have been trying to defeat me.
The remark is daily made to me ''Why
are you pressing the constitutionality of
these acts in Court when your people are
willing to organize under them?" and it
is very hard for me to answer. Under
this state of things [ fear. that the Court
will look upon my movement with disfa-
vor, indeed, it is believed by many, and
the report is current, that it is mere ex-
pertinent, a sort of sensation movement,
not intended as reality.
Fortunately, Georgia will come in next
Friday to back me, and probably other
States will follow, and it will be great
consolation to me to know that l have
placed little Mississippi ahead of all of
them, in dispite the sneers of her volun-
teer advisers. | may fail; if do, it will
be mainly attributable to the course of
the Southern people.
| do not mean to reflect on you or
others for writing letters yours was
quite in good taste, but the effect has
been unfortunate for me. The effect of
voluntary acceptance of these measures,
commits us to them, and must be disas-
trous in the future. We never can get
rid of them, and why is representation in
Congress SO very important, except to
those who want to get there, as to induce
us to sacrifice every principle for it !? You
never can compromise with fanaticism.
The only way is to war against it, and in
this way triumph is sure in the end. II
any one wants the poor place | have, let
it go; | never will represent Mississippi
in the Senate to have the finger of scorn
pointed at me.
Perhaps, my dear sir, | had better
close, as you will perceive my temper is
not improving. If | have said anything
to hurt your feelings, assure you it was
not intended l do not esteem any man
more highly. Do not publish this letter.
Read to whom you please.
Your friend and obedient servant,
w l.. .SHARKEY.
