HOW DOCTORS DIFFER.

In an article on the carpet-bag exodus
the New York Tribune has made dis
covery which has been apparent to all
but violent partisans for many years.
1t says:
hThe fact is that the Republican party has
been running politica poorhouse quite too
long. The one fatal defect Of its policy since
the war has been that it gave opportunity for
Adventures, who were utterly without stand
ing or consideration in any Northern COM
munity, aad who, if Aot propped up by
United States bsyonets, could not have been
elected 10 any Office BY colored men of the
South, to fasten themselves upon the party
and the country as the representative Repub-
licans of reconstructed States"
The Philadelphia Press, however,
which is more "trooly loil' than the
Tribuae-it will be remembered that
Forney fattened at the public crib in
the berth of Clerk of the House for
many ysars-i0iU not entertain SO bad
an opinion Of its carpet-bag friends and,
mad at the recognition Of Gov. Hamp-
tons government and fearing that just
ice may be done to South Carolina and
perhaps to Louisiana, the valiant Colo
mel Who, during the time that bravery
was needed kept bis precious carcass
aloof from the scene Of bloody strife and
the dangerous bullet. now lashes him
self into a fury, grits his teeth and
calls loudly for the lOosening Of the
dogs Of war:
III such baseness as that Of Wade Hampton
is 10 be tolerated, we would rather welcome
another war 70 maintain the supremacy Of
the Government over the South and the sys-
TEN which would turn those States into

obedient Territories. The time has come for
declared policy, and President Hayes is the
man 10 declare it. When everything is offer
ed to men like Wade Hampton and the
Butcher Butler, whose hands are red with the
the blood of our people, and when they re-
ject the proffers Of q generous Government
let that Government, in its new Administra-
ton, failing to secure protection to the Re-
publican people of South Carolina to the case
into its own hands, and assert itself by all
the powers of the Constitution of the United

N. B. Forrest, who acquired great fame
during the war, died at the residence Of
bis brother, Jesse Forrest, in Memphis,
on Monday night. He was one Of the
ablest cavalry officers the Southern Con-
federscy had, and this is saying q great
deal for him as a military man, as the
cavalry branch Of the Confederate ser.
vice was by far its most powerful arm.
General Forrest was a warm-hearted,
gallant man, unlettered but wise in the
worlds ways, and thousands of his old
followers and admirers will sorrow over
his departure to the vast Unknown, but
his brave work for the cause be loved
will live in history, and will furnish some
consolation to his friends who shall read

GOVERNOR PORTER has unwisely issued
his call for an extra session of the legis.

First-To consider the recommendation
by the arbitcrs at the conference held at
New York in March, 1877. to adjust the
State debt by the issuance OF new six per
cent. bonds at the rate of sixty per cent
of the total amount of principal and
past due interest. Second-To levy q
tax sufficient to meet the interest on the
new bonds, and provide a sinking fund
for the extinguishment of the debt, and
for the more efficient collection of reve.
nue.. Third-TO provide by appropriate
legislation for the expenses of the gen.
eral assembly. The Legislature is called
to meet on the 9th Of December next
The present legislature was elected on g
low tax platform and it is doubtful wheth
er they would now favor a tax of more
than forty cents. The bond holders hay,
brought the extra session about and in
huenced Governor Porter to issue thu
call. Should no agreement or compro
mise be secured, the people will have tn,
pleasure Of paying the expense of tht
extra session, and without receiving any
benefit theretrom.
