WILL MIR. LAMAR RISE AND EXPLAIN,

Mr.. Lamar is announced for speech in
the House at an early day. We have a
few interrogatories to put to him. direct
answers to which are most desirable just
now, and he will please take the stand.
Mr.. Lamar, were you the only man in
your Congressional district under political
disabilities when you were elected to Con
gress in 1872? Did you then declare that
you had done no wrong to the Govern
ment of the United States; that it had no
right to place you under disabilities, and
that you spurned to ask for their removal?
Did you bitterly denounce the whole re-
construction policy of Congress? Was
your election regarded as triumph of this
defiant and unrepentant sentiment? Did
Jackson speech in August last? Did you
then declare that the reconstruction policy
was an intolerable oppression and outrage
upon the South? Did you say that by that
policy the Government drew the color line
in Southern politics and attempt to &C
count for the White Line in that way?
Did you not deprecate the color line? Did
you not few weeks later make fierce
color line speech at Aberdeen which fired
your audience to white heat?'
DidIyou not in your speech at Scooba tell
the colored people if they proposed to go to
the polls at any hazard and vote the Re-
publican ticket that they had better Ego to
hell and be dsmned?" Did you not in
your Jackson speech excuse the Vicksburg
massacre by attempting to make Governor
Ames solely responsible for it, Did not

The above tables comprise only the chief
Of those articles which show a falling off in
our imports, or an increase in our exports.
There are many articles which show a
change in the opposite direction, but the
general results of the entire trade of the
periods under consideration are in harmony
with those above indicated. Thus the
total imports of merchandise for the two
periods were as follows:
Eleven months ended May 81, 1915,
$500, $50. 4SS; eleven months ended May
81. 1876, 1926, sol. $50; decrease of mer-
chandise imports, 500, 9s3, 62S.
The gold values of merchandise Of do
mestic origin exported during the same
period were as follows:
Eleven months ended May 81. 1875,
$463, $40, 514; eleven months ended May
81, 1876, $3.50. s39, 900; resse.of.exports
of domestic merchandise, ST, 463. 1856.
These results are most gratifying, as evil
dence of the aggregated economy of the
country. They show that we are not only
living within our means, but that we are
paying something constantly upon our old
debts from our surplus products. We are
not only paying cotton, breadstuffs and
provisions, but in manufactures of cotton
also. In fact, as pupils of necessity we are
fast becoming nation. of practical ecol-

GEN. M. C. BUFFERS LETTER.

The "cheUalier sans peur ct sdnS reproche" has
written second letter concerning the massa-
ere at Hamburg.
1t is filed with invectiye, railing, denuncia-
ton and foaming rage. 1t does not suit this
embodiment of chivalry to be held up to the
gaze of the world as the leader, inspirer or
alder and abetter of one of the most unjusti-
fable, wanton and diabolical outrages fur
nished even in the records of the bloody acts
of the organized or unorganized Ku-Klux of
the South. The SGngre dzul of this scion ofthe
hot headed Buffers of South Carolina boils as
fiercely as did the blood of Preston s. Brooks,
when the caustic but just utterance of Charles
Sumner, in reference to their kinsman, A. P.
Butler, whilom Senator of the United States,
stirred up that ruffian to use the weapons of a
BLACKBOARD on the illustrious champion of
ibCr.y and equality.
perusal of Buffers letter is quite enough
to show that he has lost his temper because he
knows how thoroughly in the wrong he is, and
how universally he must be condemned in
every civilized place. But it may be worth
while TO note some Of the points in his TRADE.
He begins in the following words:
"T0 the Editors offhe Journal of Commerce:
1.-The high joint commission, consisting of
William Stone, Carpet-Bag Attorney General
and the mulatto Adjutsnt General of the
State, Purvis, have lately visited Hamburg to
investigate the horror and the former has
made his report"
The "Carpet-bag Attorney Generar' is a
gentleman who has resided in South Carolina
nearly or quite ten years. He went there as
an officer in the army, and soon after he was
mustered out began the practice Of his pro-
fession as a lawyer. He has held, with great
credit to himself and the appointing power,
the office of Assistant District Attorney of the
United States and Attorney General of South
Carolina, besides enjoying large and respect
able practice as a member of the law firm of
Corbin & Stone, in Charleston. Intellectually,
professionally and morally he is the peer of

OUR FOREIGN TRADE.

We recently called attention to the large
increase in the excess of our exports over
our imports during the fiscal year 1853,
as compared with the year 1915. The
statement upon which our comments were
founo"d exhibited only the general results
of our trade for the later of the two years
in question, and no detailed statement by
articles has yet appeared. We have. how
ever, received from the Chief of the Bureau
of Statistics detailed statement Of our for
eign trade for the eleven months ending
May 81, 1876, and the corresponding period
of the previous fiscal year, from which,
coupled with a statement from the same
source of our imports from Great Britain
during the first six months of the calendar
years 1875 and 1876 respectively, we are
able to determine the more important arti-
cles, in respect to which the course of trade
has changed. Referring to the last of these
two statements we find that the quantity of
cotton piece goods imported from Great
Britain during the first six months of 1875
amounted to 46, $50, 500 yards, whereas for
the first six months of 1876 the amount I'M
ported was only 81, 4G1, 900 yards-a falling
off of about SO per cent. Referring to the
other statement we find that our total i'm
ports of bleached and unbleached cotton
goods for the eleven months ended May 81,
1875, amounted to %, AGO, $50 yards against
IA, 500, 275 yards imported during the eleven
months ending May 81, 1876, while of
printed and colored goods the imports for
the same periods were respectively II.
sos, 033 yards for the former and II, 1876, $50
for the latter. The decrease in our i'm
ports of these goods has been accompanied
with corresponding and, indeed, quite re-
markable increase in our exports of the
same. Thus, of colored cottons the ex-
ports during the eleven months ended May
81, 1875, were only 6,S95, &c yards against
1878, 1873 yards for the eleven months
ended year later, while for uncolored
cottons the figures are respectively 90, 26S
iii and SO, 1S0,0 75. In other words, the
quantity of bleached and unbleached cot
ton goods exported during the first eleven
months of the last fiscal year was greater
by 100 per cent. than the quantity exported
during the corresponding period of the
previous fiscal year. The following tables
will present in compact form the falling
off in imports and the increase in our ex-
ports of a number of the leading articles OF
commerce:

to some one of the chiyalry, whose eminent
qualifications for the place were so clearly
shown by their murderous acts in the late
slaughter-some one of those gentlemen"
who showed their knowledge of the law by
making unlawful demands of their fellow
citizens and by their total disregard, not only
of all law but of all the principles which under
lie civil society, suIeradded to degree of
brutal atrocity hardly paralleled in Indian
warfare.
Had Prince Rivers orderedsthe arrest OF
Gen. Butler and his associates and died in the
attempt to enforce his orders, we should have
had more respect for his manhood. But 1t
comes with poor grace from malefactor to
say that the guardian of the good order of the
community has failed to do his duty, when
that malefactor and his hundreds of confeder
ates have by force and arms broken down all
the barriers of society and soyerpowered every
welldisposed citizen.
All Gen. Buffers talk about the previous
of1enses of the magistrate, and the town DILL
GERS and the colored militia is but an after
thought to endeavor to manufacture some
excuse for the wicked acts of the mob he led.
The answer to it all is that the courts are open
to every citizen, and that an upright and en-
lightened judge sits in that circuit who would
hold the 81 ales of justice with an even beam.
The assertion of Gen. B., that ''the negroes
had assembled riotously, were in state of
armed resistance to the laws" &C., &C., is not
borne out by any statement but his own. But
admit ting this TO be true, by what warrant of
law, by command of what officer authorized to
act, was Gen. BIS mob of "white men" enti-
tied to assume the role of general regulators
of the peace. The negroes had struck no
blow; had injured no citizen. They were fired
upon first, and merely defended themselves.
The shooting of these men after they were
taken prisoners needs no comment. Nowhere
except in a State where barbarism exists
would such an act have been perpetrated. The
pillage of the houses in the village adds
meaner feature to the acts of the chiValry.
The soul is sickened at the thought of the
possibility of such an outrage as this Hamburg
affair in a nation protesting TO be civilized.
The entire power of the State should be used
to punish he criminals, and, that failing, the
State should summon aid from the Govern
ment of the United States.

AND NOW our school board committees
want to hold star-chamber inquisitions !!
Better not try it, gentlemen. The people
are quite as much interested in your trans
actions as any one of you, and they depend
upon the press to give them the informa-
ton. If any Of you feel called upon to do
anything you are ashamed of in committee
you had better resiFn your positions as
trustees. Our schools ale nearer to the
people in their family relations than any
other public Institutions, and they cannot
have too much information on the subject.
Let US hear no more of the exclusion of
the reporters of the press from committee
meetings.

says: "The feeling among the negroes in
Hamburg is that of terrific submission. :"
Massacres have the same effect everywhere
in the South. If they didn't have they
would be failures. The greater the ter
rife submission" the greater and better the
effect. But there is no such submission
about the White Liners. They are jubi-
lant and buying guns and ammunition for
the next "rot,"

THE Republicans of the Third Congress
sional district in Vermont hold their con-
yention the middle of August. As usual
there are candidates enough, but it is to be
hoped that the present able and worthy
representative from that district will be re-
nominated. Gov. Hendee has acquitted
himself with great credit as representa-
tive. and signally as member of the Com
mittee on the District of Columbia, and his
district could not do itself more honor, nor
this District more valuable service, than
to send him to the next House. The coun-
try may want something besides new Re
publican members in Congress for while.

THE House has at last paid some atten-
