LlberaIlty OF the UoIored People.


[From the Atlanta (Ga.) Constitutional
1t would be ungenerous, even ungrate-
full, in the midst of the Acknowledgements of
charity extended by the people of the coun-
try to Savannah and Brunswick, did we omit
to mention conspicuously the donations
made to these relief funds by the colored
people. In tLis season of deep distress
they have come forward nobly and contrib
uted of their scant resources to alleviate
suffering. They have made no restrictions
as to the use OF their money, but have gwen
it freely to succor whomsoever it might.
This was no more than others did, and the
relief extended to the stricken and dying
blacks of Savannah amounts to many thou
sands of dollars over the total contribu-
tions by colored people. But the manner
of the giving decides the value of the gift.
Our colored people of Atlanta have re-
sponded to measure not anticipated and
greatly to their credit. When we remember
their general means of livelihood, and their
almost constant lack of spare funds. the
sacrifices they have made to swell their
charity fund may be rightly appreciated.
In addition, during the dull business season
their purses and burdens have been made
to stand the drain of week and more OF a
Methodist General Conference, with cou-
pie of hundred colored ministers to feed.
AL things considered, we cannot but call
attention to this class of donations. The
people of the South will give due credit to
the donors. and more thoroughly appreciate
the spirit of the gifts than others can do"

The southern Claims Question.

From the Ne,0 York Herald, Sept. %.
The question is, What will the democrat
ic party do, if it comes into power, in rela-
ton to claims made by citizens Of Southern
States for damages inflicted on their prop.
erty by United States troops in the course
OF military operations Republican speak
ers and Journals put forward this question,
and frequently assert that such claims would
have great and perhaps unrestricted recog-
milton in democratic Congress. 1t is at
present, as everybody knows who listens to
current political conversation, one of the
most impressive points in the Republican
canvass; and 1T is strengthened by the un-
doubted fact that there are not few silly
people in the Southern States who fondly
imagine that under some conceivable Cir
cumstances they can get pay from the gov
ernment for use, occupation, waste or de-
struction of their property by our armies.

From Carl SChurz's Speech, Oct 2l.
There is still one other thing would call
your attention to, and that is the question
of national peace do not mean to repeat
what said of my action with regard to the
Southern people, and the impulse of gener-
osity which have always followed. Ofcourse
/ did that with the expectation that satis-
factory response would be elected from the
other side. We gave them back their rights
with lavish hand;we gave them back their
rights 80 shortly after the Rebellion that
can only repeat what have often said, that
the generosity of the American people has
never been excelled by any other nation in
the world in that respect. We did it with
the reasonable hope that the Southern peo-
Pile, receiving back their rights at our hands,
might be counted upon to respect also the
rights of others. l am sorry to say that that
expectation has been in great measure
disappointed. When you look at the State
of South Carolina you will not deny that
the situation Of things is exceedingly Sc
rious. There is a minority trying to cut
down the vote of the majority by means of
force. am the very last man in the coun-
try who would approve Of the presence of
troops in the neighborhood of the ballot
box, and would stand up, to the last in the
eudeavor to secure to every man the right
to vote uninfuenced by force of any kind.
But as things now stand, if the United
States troops are withdrawn-what then?
Then we may be sure to have another armed
force in its place, and that is the rifle clubs
of the South Carolina Reform Democracy.

not believe in the reform of the rifle and
the revolver in the hands of terrorist.

THE SOUTH.
The sn.uatton ln south CaraIfr.a.

The SITUATION 1m SOuIh CAr0l1mAs
From the NetU York Times, Oct. 23.
When the United States troops marched
into this city to aid in suppressing the
bloody riots of 1868, no decent Democrat
regarded the act as other than the proper
exercise OF a necessary and benefcent
power. Yet no candid man who will stop
moment to consider the facts, can fail to
see that the violence which yexes South
Carolina is far more dangerous to the COM
munity in which it exists, and more injuri
GUS to the country at large, than the sud-
den outburst of turbulence which took
place in New York on the enforcement of
the draft in 1868. The latter was for the
most part unpremeditated, and was the
rash and unreasoning revolt of mass of
ignorant people to whom the Government
appeared for the moment in the exercise of
its harshest power, namely, in compelling
military service. But in South Carolina
there is combination to defeat by arms
the enforcement of the laws that protect
the right of suffrage. This combination,
striking at the foundations of all free gov
ernment, is controlled by the most intelli.
gent and prominent men iii the State, and is
at once an insurrection and a usurpation.
Ii it is not put down, and free and full
vote insured next month, very serious
consequences may ensue. 1t may be that
the election of the President and Vice
President shall turn on the vote Of the
State of South Carolina, and the result in
South Carolina depend on the vote of the
districts in which the armed cavalry OF
the Hampton party are engaged in deter
mining the election by force. 1t must be a
very prejudiced partisan who fails to see
that to prevent such o state of things by
the firm use of all the Federal power which
is authorized and necessary, is but the
simplest possible duty. The Government
would be utterly unworthy of itself, and
entirely false to the trust imposed on it by
the people, if it failed in such plain and
important obligation.

Tt,den,A s.Trespnss,, views.


A veteran of the war, Gilbert r. Chandler,
now living at Otisville Mich, lately had
discussion with Democratic friends, as to
whether Tilden ever said that the Union
soldiers, who went into the South and
helped put down the rebellion. were tres
passers and liable to actlon for trespass.
This charge was made by Gov. Underwood,
of Vermont, in a speech during the CAM
paign in that State, and the Michigan sol
der and his friends heard of it. To settle
she dispute, Chandler wrote to Gov. I'm
derwood, asking him if he had been cor
rectly reported and to send him reply and
duplicate copy to a Democratic friend.
Gov. Underwood complied, as follows
BURLINGTON, Oct. 3, 1876.
"DEAR SIR Your letter of the 29th of
September is received. 1 know Hon. s. J.
Tilden, and knew him during the rebellion
as Calhoun and Buchanan Democrat. In
a social discussion on the piazza of Con-
gress Hall, at Saratoga Springs. which was
not private or confidential, he argued to me
that the United States Government had not
constitutional authority to use force to pre-
vent secession, and that no soldier could
Justify such force if sued in trespass and
he openly accused me of ignorance of the
common law for contending otherwise, and
1 am not aware that has denied it. l hear
that MIR. Magone says Tilden never held
such opinion. do not know Mr.. Magone,
except by reputation but his reference to
MIR. Wood, who, he says, made the state
ment, was cut from Virginia paper which
indorses such sentiments as Tllden's, and
asks Southern votes upon that ground.

The society to promote studies at home
is now three years old, and it's short life is
full Of good works. IGs object is to en-
courage young women to devote part Of
every day to systematic and thorough study;
and its method is the arrangement of
courses Of reading and study, with proper
directions and advice, and the yearly distri-
button of certificates of progress from the
examiners and managers Student mem
bers must be at least seventeen years old,
they must pay two dollars annually for
printing, postage, etc, and they are ex-
pected to try honestly to devote a certain
time to their work. 1t is thus a purely vol
untary association, and implies sincere in
terest in the object. Indeed, there is no
considerable reason why any one who does
not wish to share the advantages of the
society should trouble herself to join it, as
there is no collateral benefit except that
which springs from hearty cooperation.
Whoever wishes to join as a student can
procure programme of studies from Miss
Ticknor, Park Street, Boston and having
selected course of study, she receives
special directions. The term of study and
correspondence is from October l to June
l In June wholly optional written ex-
animation takes place in Boston, and stu
uenus are invited TO Send efsaVE IN EnSllsn;
French or German, on subjects of their
own choice.
This, as Mr.. Higginson truly says, is
merely organized aid given by the elder
and more experienced to the younger and
inexperienced. The results are very graft
flying. During the first year there were
forty-five student members during the
second, eighty-two; and during the last
year there were 298, living i'll 1862 places, i'll
twenty eight States and Canada, and as far
as Florida and Louisiana OF this number,
sixty. seven per cent, or 204 students, have
done satisfactorily. The average time OF
study has been eight hours weekly the
largest time, about five hours daily; and the
smallest, two hours weekly. The studies
have been history, English literature
science, art, German, and French. The
committee now includes members from
Maine, New York, and New jersey as vel
as from Massachusetts, and as the gooC
work goes on there will undoubtedly be
other chief local centres. The object it
very simple. 1t is mainly judicious eounci
for those who really desire it, and a more
sensible and useful society for the purpose
we do not know.-EDIToR's EASY CEAIR, il
