PARTIES recently arrived from South
Carolina convey the intelligence that the
denizens of Edgefeld county, in that State,
are seriously entertaining the design of
waging warfare against the United States
forces now in that county for the purpose
of enforcing the laws and protecting citi-
zens in the enjoyment Of equal rights. 1t
is not surprising that the people of Edge
field should have forgotten the resources of
the Government, for they are by all odds
the most ignorant and blood-thirsty Of the
population of South Carolina. A premium
is placed upon ignorance by such men as
the Garys and Sitting Bull Butler, who
base all Of their aspirations, political and
otherwise, upon the ease with which their
followers can be duped. What care such
men as Butler and Gary, two leading lights
Of Edgefeld, if their followers make war
upon defepseless negroes and attack the
soldiers sent down there, if they can but
be elected to Office? They will be prudent
enough to be found lurking in the rear
when their tools do the killing, and after
the difficulty is over they will again fill the
press of the country with statements to the
effect that they were only present as
pacifcators. Prior to the war it was
customary for only the children
of the wealthier classes in Edgefeld and
other Southern communities to be sent to
school, and these favored few are now the
ones who are melting their ignorant neigh
bors TO commit acts of lawlessness against
the Government. The ordinary denizen

THERE ARE numerous instances in the
Southern States where it has proven
source of pleasure to President Grant TO
confer honors and emoluments upon gen
tlemen who served the "loSt cause" as
long as the Confederacy existed, but who
laid aside all antagonistic feeling to the
Government after the memorable events at
Appomattox. Conspicuous among these
gentlemen who have been recognized by
the President is Gen. Lafayette McLaws, of
Georgia, who has for several years been an
internal revenue collector at Savannah, and
now the postmaster of that city. During
the late unpleasantness the services of Nc
Laws were freely given to the JEFF Davis
government, and where the battle waxed
warmest there was he. On many a con-
tested field he demeaned himself with
cool gallantry which would have entitled
him to wear the plumes of Henry of Ma
varre. But when the war ended he
sheathed his sword, and has ever since
been a true and loyal w-abiding citizen of
the United States. The discipline received
by the soldier inculcates respect for law.
These facts, coming 10 the knowledge of
the President, NIL lws was invited to visit
Washington, and was offered an appoint
ment as internal revenue collector, which
he accepted. This action on the part
of the President in thus honoring deserving
ex-Confederates is only in keeping with his
well known magnaniniity aud generosity.
He knew McLsws as a student at West
Point, beheld in him an old friend whose
circumstances were reduced by the results
of the war, and being satisfied that he was
a law abiding citizen, he gave him an ap
pointment. How much better for the South
and for themselves would it have been fer
all the rebel leaders and generals to have
initiated the course Of General McLiws in
returning TO his allegiance to the Govern
ment at the close of the war. Had his good
sense been initiated by the Gordons, La
mars, Hills, Toombs and Others how many
SORROWS which have afflicted the South
would have been unknown, and how many
bloody pages in her history would never
have been written Despite the obloquy
and abuse which have from time to time
been hesped upon General Grant by the
press of the South, he has pursued the even
tenor of his way, never failing to turn
aside and lend helping hand to the ex-
Confederate who accepts the results of the
war and is willing 10 aid in building up the
waste places of his country. Such acts Of
the President are almost as respendent as
were those achievements which will render
his name imperishable.

of Edgefeld county is as ignorant of the
power and resources of the Government as
are the wild Sioux of the plains, and like
their barbarous brothers of the far West,
they think that the sun rises and sets only
in South Car 0lina. AS we stated the other
day, there are but two courses to be pur-
sued toward the fgnorant, communities of
the South. Either let the Government as
sumo the responsibility of educating them,
or else keep a standing army in their
midst, and arrest and hold as hostages such
men as Gordon, Lamar, Butler and others,
to the end that they may talk to their ig-
norant followers and persuade them to
cease numbering cir fellow citizens whose
only ofense appears to be the color of their
skins and the fact that they persist in Vo:-

Mr.. HENRY JOHNSON, who has served
since 1870 most acceptably and faithfully as
q member of the Board of Colored School
Trustees, was yesterday made the recipient
of a handsome compliment by the pupils of
the Female Grammar schools in the John
F. Cook building, full account Of which
may be found in our local columns Mr..
johnson was first appointed school trus-
tee by the Secretary of the Interior in
1870 and was reappointed successfully by
Governors Cooke and Shepherd and by the
present Commissioners, having served con-
tinuously fora longer period than any other
member of the colored board. He devoted
himself with great assiduity to the educa-
tionsl advancement of the colored pupils of
the District for nearly six years, and may
be truly said to have exerted more power
ful influence for the elevation of his race
than almost any other man. His resigna-
tion is most deeply and widely regretted by
all the friends of education in the District,
but by none more than by the pupils in
whose behalf he has so long, SO zealously
and SO uusrlfishly lAbOred

The New York Sun seems to be anxious
to incur the dislavor of Judge Macarthur.
1t plunges into discussion of the so-called
safe burglary trial. in a manner which at
once and most directly sets at defiance the
dignity and the purity of the court. But
how can the court reach the editor of the
San? A question of jurisdiction arises
right here which should be settled without
delay. Newspapers printed beyond the
limits of the District are permitted to lie
about District affairs, and to SANDER our
citizens and our courts, and to circulate
their lies and SANDERS through the mails
and the express without fear of punish
ment. Will Judge Macarthur look into
this matter?
