soil, and of largely adding to our COM
merce, are discovered at our doors in in
exhaustible deposits of fertilizing phos-
pilates, of greater value than all we have
lost.
The change in our domestic institutions
and relations with our laborers was only
a question of time. The march of pub
lie sentiment upon that subject could not
have been stayed by human power. So,
also, it is evident that the world is to
pass under the rule of popular govern
ments. The law of castles will either be
brought to conform to it harmoniously,
or the weaker will be trampled out in
the higher progress of the superior.
The ultimate and assured hope of the
country is in the virtue and wisdom OF
the people. The danger is in the CEN
tralfzation of power and the rule of cor.
rupt leaders of the people-an unbridled
and unscrupulous Democracy, tramplng
upon all the rights of the people, ruling
in their name and sustained by their
power. Imperialism here is an impossi-
bility. The free air of our country would
be deadly to kings and tyrants. That
many-headed monster consolidated
and corrupt government of demagogues
is that which endangers our liberties.
It's only alternative and correction is to
be found in the power of the States to
secure their rights under the constitution.
Secession as remedy is gone, perhaps
forever. For us of the South it is dead
beyond the possibility of resurrection.
But in some form the statesman of the
future will so hedge around the rights OF
the States, by wise and peaceful remedies,
as to render liberty secure, and oppres.
sion impossible. When that day shall
come, the English speaking States of the
world may find protection, peace and
prosperity beneath the starry banner OF
our country, upon whose azure field OF
union each particular star shall shine
with separate and equal lustre.
Citizens of South Carolina, in this day
of bitter humiliation and dire distress,
let not these sanguine dreams of the
future seem to you but mockery of your
woe, your unutterable wrongs. Truth
and Justice are eternal, and always bring
enduring compensation for transitory in
terruption of their free course. The day
of wrong and misrule, I fully believe, is
passing away; the day of de'iverance is
near at hand.
If however, discord and distrust shall
still rule the hour, and place the lash OF
persecution once more in the hands OF
malignant ministers of vengeance, to
humble, and crush, and degrade, let the
scions of the old revolutionary stock of
the South still display that God like forti-
tude that endures unmerited and IRENE
diable wrong, as true manhood always
endures unavoidable and insuperable
calamity, with faith, courage, patience;
Such wrongs, thus endured, find sure and
ample remedies and retributions most
righteous.
"a little, while along the saddeninag plains,
The stariess night ofdesolation reigns,
Truth shall restore the light by nature given,
And, like Prometheus, bring the fire Of heaven;
Prone to the dust, oppression shall be hurled.
Her name, her nature, withered from the world

Very Much Mistaken.

In reference to the Mississippi resolu-
ton Of Morton, the Chicago Inter Ocean
says that ''The Democrats fear the In
yestigatiou, and will strongly oppose the
passage of Senator Morton's resolution"
That Journal is very much mistaken
in attributing the opposition of Missis-
sippians to the Morton resolution to any
fear of an investigation. They denounce
the movement because it is an interfer-
ence with their right of managing their
own State affairs in their own way. An
investigation into the Ohio election,
where fraud was charged against the Re-
publicans in the late election, would be
equally as appropriate.
Thepeople of Mississippi, who carried
the election last fall over the corrupt
black-liners and riot meters, are pre-
pared to show that the election was per-
fectly fair on their own part, and that
the occasional disturbances of the peace
curing the canvass were brought on, as IN
the case of the Clinton affair, by the
Radical leaders, to intensity the animos,
tiles which they had encouraged between
the white and black races.
That the bloody shirt agitators can OBJ
tain volumes of perjured testimony,
there is no doubt. 1t can be manufac-
tured in any quantity, and any quality,
to suit the occasion; but it will be as
readily overturned by stubborn facts and
the righteousness of the Democratic
cause.
We repeat that there was never fair
er election than was held in Mississippi,
so far as the Democrats and Conserva-
tlves are concerned, in November; that
there never was canvass more free from
intimidation; that the violence COM
planned Of by the Radical tricksters, was
premeditated and brought on by them.

maintain, in any way, and against all
corners.

The Public Schools.

The resolution of Mr.. Carter, of

economical management of the public
schools, and encouraging the young men
of the State to take hold of, and become
interested in, the public education of the

Committee on Education to recommend
the necessary legislation, met with
prompt and hearty response from the
House, in the immediate adoption of the

Patience No Longer a Virtue

These and very many other OF COY
Ames' tyrannical misdeeds, would III any
Northern State be characterized as high
crimes and misdemeanors, and the Gov
ernor who had dared to commit them
would be hurled from his position and
treated with universal detestation. But
we of Mississippi have borne with them,
and there was still a disposition on the
part of many in the State to put by the
past, had there been shown on the part
of the Governor disposition to respect
the recent popular verdict. Instead of
doing so. he is still making the most
malignant and INSCRIPTIONS attempts TO
place at defiance the will of the people
of the State, and relying upon the sup
port of the present corrupt Administra-
ton to sustain him, he seems determined
to thwart the expressed wishes of tre-
mendous majority of the people, and If
possible, place the State in condition of
antagonism to the Government of the
United States. Under these circumstan-
ces, We believe that patience is no longer
a virtue, and though we have always adj
yocated moderation, and suggested that
festipaa lente should be the controlling
idea in the matter of impeachment, in
the hope that the popular will would
correct the evils, we now feel that if the
finds that Gov Ames' acts of
discord and tyranny, can be
sustained by competent proof. its mem
bers would be justified in their own con-
sciences and in the eyes of the State and

in cases where the Board have re-appoint-

have looked into the question, and find
that the Board have only such power as
the Governor has in certain cases where
the appointing power is conferred.
The Board makes the appointment by
and with the advice aud consent of the
senate Constitution, Art. s, Sec. 4.
The appointment without certificate
has been held by the Supreme Court to
be void. See Sumner VS.. Burnbam' 30

The Sta &c Printer.

MEssRs. POWER & BARKsDALE have
been elected State Printer, for we consid-
er nomination by the Democratic eau
Gus equivalent to an election. We think
this will meet the approval of. the people
OF the State. The gentlemen chosen did
great and valuable service during the
late campaign, but We presume this was
only part of the reason why they were
selected. They were selected because
they have the materials, are painstaking.
energetic business men, and because the
Legislature has no reason to fear any pe-
culation by such men, The public print
ing might have been let to the lowest
bidder, but it is hard to do this. when
few persons can state what there is to let.

well, and We have little fear that the
