Political Intolerance.

In spite of the lessons of unity and
fraternity Which are taught in the re-
cent centennial celebrations, there ex-
lists large amount of intolerance in the
Northern mind, which crops out every
where in the utterances of the Radical
journals, denying to the people of the
South everything like freedom of dis
cussion on topics connected with the
late war, and branding with treason all
proper assertion of their rights under
the Constitution. AS an illustration,
the recent criticism by the Courier Jour-
nal Of speech of Gen. Sherman deliv-
cred at the Boston Centennial and the
coupling of the names of Lincoln and
Lee in a speech by the same editor, at
the Commencement of Northern col
lege, have raised storm of disapproba-
tion along the whole line Of Radical
journalism. Nothing will content these
intolerant partisans but confession Of our
past sins, abject humiliation for the
present, and a promise of amendment
for the future. Anything like justifi-
cation of our motives, assertion of pres
ent equality before the law, or future
aspirations for a place in the govern
ment, in their view smacks Of the late
rebellion and is branded as treason.
Anything like lasting union between
- r \
full recognition of the honesty and sim
cerity of the opposing combatants in the
late war, and upon their full and equal
right to seek all the honors, and partic-
ipate in all the privileges of the govern
ment.

THE lightning rod man has been to
see the editor of the GreenviAe News.
and nearly scared him out of his boots.
Hear him:
We were yesterday interviewed by g.
lightning rod man, and our peaceful
mind has been greatly disturbed. He
informed US that the lightning rods on
the house in which the NeaOs Office is To-
Gated are out of order, and endanger the
safety of the building, and consequent
ly the lives of every man in the office.
This information caused the turkey
bumps to rise, and our hair to stand like
the quills Of the fretful porcupine. We
rushed across the street aud informed
our landlord, Mr.. Cauble; but he assur-
ed US that there was no danger. That
he had been struck by everything except
lightning, and if the house was struck
and demolished he would put us up six
story building with cellar on top and q
piazza with q Mansard roof, and iron
front in the rear, and inquire it against
lightning and other s-ofcourse
we are satisfied.

The Centennial

The Sumter Watchman has a well
tempered article on "south Caroiln:c,
and the PhiladeTphia CeAtennial, ,n III
which he entirely disagrees with Msor
Woodward, in the position takeHs by
him. The Waterman says: -; :.
With his position we frankly and full
Iy and kindly say, we are not in synap&-
thy. The day for extreme positions
like this has passed away, and we, vel
come the advent of a changed and modi-
fled sentiment =!
The people OF South Carolina will move
forward and present themselves and
their interests and sentiments on that
great occasion-they will rally, in bfist-
ling crowds, from every part of the
State, and Gen. Gurney will be neither
thought of or considered. q
70 assume that the great material in
terests of our State are not to be brought
forward, and that our ancestral and rev.
olut;ofary fame are not to be represent
ed where those of all others of the State
are to be present, because a man like
Quincy happens tu hold the position of
Commissioners is to assume that to
which the manhood of our people will
never respond.
We are assured that the State Agricul-
tural Society will take steps to secure a
representation of our products, SOIL eli
mate, &C., next fall-That the Charles
ton Chamber of Commerce will see to it
that our growing interests in this direc-
ton are not neglected, ard that our mil.
itary organizations, now again forming
on exhibiting the spirit and national
pride of people in connection with the
great struggle for American independ-
will as at Bunker Hill, but in greatly
increased Numbers, claim their place in
the great national celebration.
We venture the assertion that scores
of:representative Carolinians will.gather
at Philapeldhia, and participate in the
national pride on the nation's hundredth
birthday, and that men of enterprise Of
almost every persuit ahd industry will
be there with their specimens, even
should our State organizations, ignore
the occasion,

THE Daily Constitutionalist, publish
ed in Augusta, Ga, is now welcome
guest on our editorial table. None of
the Southern journals display more
ability in their editorial columns, or eX-
hibit more variety and freshness in their
news and miscellaneous departments.
The fame of Jas. R. Randall, the poet
editor is a guarantee, that the paper
will maintain the highest standard of
liberal and progressive journalism. The
Constit,sttonalist has an interesting cor
respondence from Abbeville and other
sections, and is now good authority in
South Carolina politics. Our friends
could not subscribe for better paper.

FRED DOUGLASS, the negro editor
and politician, in late Fourth of July
speech calls upon his race to repudiate
their false white friends, who have
made them their dupes to their own
ruin, and calls upon them to rely upon
themselves in the future. The advice
is good so far as it applies to false friends
but is based upon mistaken idea of
the capacity of the black race when 1t
calls upon them to cut loose from all de-
pendence upon the white race. They
must pass through long pupilage be-
fore they can hope for independence of
the white man. Their true interests
consist in uniting with him.

South Carolina and the Centennial.

The New York Herald pulishes a let
ter from Governor Chamberlain, in
which whilst expressing the cordial
interest which is every where felt in be-
half of the celebration, he states that
nothing has as yet been done to secure
proper representation of the State, yet
that he will recommend an appropria-
ton by the next Legislature, which
will be doubtless made, and the State
fully represented in its mineral, and in
dustrial resources, and in it's mementoes
of historic achievements. AS one Of
the original thirteen, South Carolina
claims place in the picture, whilst her
resources and products equally demand
recognition. The Governor thus refers
to the interest manifested:
I think there is at the present time a
widespread and genuine Interest felt by
the people of this State in the centenni-
al. From causes which need not now
be stated little has yet been done toward
a practical impression Of this interest.
With the revival of the spirit of hope
fulness among our people and at the
composing of the political bitterness of
later days, end especially with the influ
ence of the recent centennials at Lex
ington and Charlotte, there has appear
ed as it seems to me new desire on
the part of our citizens to join in the
great reunion at Philadelphia. tits but
just to say thatIno State has better right
to appear there than South Carolina up
on the score of her Revolutionary re-
cord. She was early and constant in
her adherence to the colonial cause her
soil was the scene Of numerous conflicts
and her partisan leaders supplied one Of
the most brilliant chapters in the great
struggle. A high authority has declar-
Ell that the romance of the Revolution
was found in the Carolinas. These ear
ly glories are again appealing to US all.
Nowhere is it truer than here that the
chords of memory are touched by the
angels of our better nature" and are
responding IN tones unfamiliar to our
ears in more recent times.
The Herald says that South Carolina
is rich in historic memories but poor in
resources. But in spite of bad govern
ment and her loss of millions by eman-
cipation she has still a good deal to
boast of in natural wealth and industri-
al products, and will be able to make a
very creditable exhibition at Philadel-
phia, without drawing on her revolu-
tionary memories. Let heI be repre-
sented.

Total places of worship.......

WV
This list includes large number of
small chapels and rooms of moderate
size, and it is supposed that their average
seating capacity is not more than seven
hundred for each place of worship, and
the actual average attendance from
Sunday to Sunday is not more than four
hundred, taking the small and large
churches together. But even supposing
the actual attendance equal to the full
seating capacity of the churches, there
are two-thirds of the population of that
great city who could not, if they would,
be seated in church on Sunday. The
Herald lectures the fashionable preach
ers for closing their churches during
the Summer, when they might spend
six days in the pure air Of. the country,
and then come to town once q week to
deliver their sermons.
