Intend, he continued, to keep them
in the future. / can look into my own
heart and say that I have administered
the laws with justice and equality, or, if
with any partiality at all, it has been
more in favor of the colored people than
otherwise. They have received more
clemency than have white men, and have
enjoyed more privileges than ever before,
and they continue to enjoy them now.
THE STATE DEBT.
We have no elements in our approach
ing campaign to disturb us. The only
point upon which patriotic and able men
divided in the last Legislature was upon
the bonded debt of the State, and that
question has been happily eliminated
from politics and placed before a judicial
tribunal of the State. Every one can
afford to abide by its decision, and to
pledge himself in advance to stand by it.
We have now nothing on the face of the
earth to divide us. We are all working
for the same end, all living on the same
soil, under that Carolina sun all will
sleep on the bosom of this Old Mother
of ours when we pass hence. Why can
not we all struggle together for her sake.
Let us place our differences in the back
ground and march forward together to
victory.

Passage oft EIectOraI bill i'm the
Senate.

What is known as Senator Edmund's
Bill for counting the electoral vote, has
passed. 1t provides that the Presiden-
tial election shall take place on the first
Tuesday in October and that the electors
shall meet on the second Monday in
January. During the interim all dis
putes as to the elections are to be settled
by competent State tribunals, and their
decisions will be final. Congress will
meet on the second Monday in February,
and the concurrence of both houses will
presenting a single return or to accept
the vote of IA State presenting more than
one return. The bill passed by vote OF
30 to 26. All the negative voters were
Democrats; and the affirmative voters
were Republicans except Senators Bay
ard, Merrimon and Morgan. 1t will be
seen that under the provi-ions of the bill
it will be easy to defeat the count of
vote altogether unless the two houses are
of the sa ne political faith. All that will
be necessary, is for an INSCRIPTIONS
and factious minority to get up a set of
returns at variance with the regular
returns. We can we'll imagine that
Democrats would look with suspicion
upon measure originating with a schemer
as cunning and inscriptions as Senator
Edmunds. He was the spider who in
vited the fly to come into the Electoral
Commission parlor. Whether he has
misled the three staunch Democrats who
are cooperating with him, or whether
the main body of the Democrats, warned
by the fatal experience of the past only
imagine there is something rotten in
Denmark, we are not prepared to say.

silver Bills.

A bill has been introduced into the
House by Mr.. Buckner, Democrat, OF
Missouri, providing for the increase OF
silver coinage. 1t changes the present
coinage $4,000, 900 q month, and the
maximum 100000 month, and re-
quires the Secretary of the Treasury TO
coin not less than s7,O0O,000 a month
until the market value of silver bullicn
in New York shall be at par with the
standard silver dollar. When this shall
have taken place the government shall
cease to coin silver on its own account,
and, thereafter, it shall coin all silver
brought to the minis, on account of It's
owners, on the same terms with gold,
which means unlimited coinage of silver.
In addition to this the government shall
give gold coins in exchange for silver
dollars at par whenever the latter are
presented in sums of 500 or multiples
thereof. In addition to the foregoing
Mr.. Hewitt Democrat, of New York
has offered bill declaring that as Con
gress has made the standard silver dollar
legal tender the same as the gold dol
lar, they shall be received as such and
interchangeably at the sub-Treasury in
New York And it requires the Secre
tary of the Treasury to provide for such
interchangeability of the two coins, and
to secure 10 be coined such a number Of
standard dollars as may be required tc
meet the public demand.
The effect Of these excellent measure;
will be first, under the former one, tC
coin sufficient quantity of the metal tC
supply the wants of the country, and sec
ondly, place silver on equal footing with
gold and destroy the present difference
in valuation which has been created 10y
legislation in the interest of bondholders
who have insisted that they should be
paid in gold exclusively, and that the
latter should be made as dear as possible
in order to increase their gains.

tortions and combinations of Railroad

some Thing. Tha.Ar Determfned

For Mr.. Hayes fame as statesman it
would have been better to have omitted
from his message the vindictive and false
accusations against the South. In join
ing the conspiracy against the peace Of
the country and eehoing the rabid utter
ances of malignant demagogues he has
not propitiated the Blaines, Camerons,
ConkliDgs and Garfelds of the North,
but has forfeited the confidence Of the
Southern Democratic leaders who CO.
operated with the former in adopting the
machinery by which be was put into the
Presidency fraudulently and in defiance
of majority of 100000 Of the popular
vote and of twenty-three majority in the
Electoral College for Governor Tilden.
In his late message, he went to the ex
IRENE of bitter end Radicalism. He
charged the Southern State governments
with infdelity to the obligations they
had incurred to maintain the constitu.
tional amendments-with outlawing the
colored people who by the laws of the
country are entitled to equal privileges as
American citizens with the whites-eu-

bidding the use of Federal troops TO
execute the partisan DEGREES of the
President and his deputies and suggested
the revolutionary measure of robbing
The South Of large portion of her rep
resentation in Congress upon the SANDER
Gus assumption that she has abridged
the rights of that portion of her popula-
ton upon whom suffrage has recently
been conferred. The real offense Of the
South is that she has refused to become
an appendage of the Republican party
to which she owes all the wrongs she
has sufered--the party which disfran-
chised her best citizens aud with the
bayonet made it possible for her
to be ruled and robbed by such free
hooters as Ames, Kellogg, Chamber
lain and Scott. The solid South has its
foundation in that principle Of human
nature which makes self-preservation the
supreme law. She will cease to be anti
Republican when Republican wrongs are
bIotted from her memory; she will cease
to be solid when the Republican party
ceases to array the solid North for her
opposition. Will this ever be? VIII the
Leopard change its spots? The real
issue presented is, did the Southern
States, in passing through the ordeal of
reconstruction, reestablish the right Of
self government on the same basis with
the Northern States Have they right
to be Democratic We endorse the
language Of a contemporary: $50
far as the South is concerned, perhaps
the question might as well be settled now
as at any future date. The people of
these States are firmly resolved to exer
else their right of self rule subject to
their obligations to the Union. They
will not, voluntarily, swallow the Repub-
lican pill They will not, voluntarily,
lend aid and comfort to the political or
ganization which for ten years made
them the prey of knaves and fools. They
will not, voluntarily put their necks in
the old yoke, their backs under the old
lash"

Secretary Sherman, the oracle of the
Administration and chief among the con
cienceless hocus pocus schemers who put
the machinery in motion by which a
Democratic majority OF eight thousand
in Louisiana resulted in the count Of
that State for Hayes and Wheeler, has
had the face to write the following let
ter:
Tn difficulty Of enforcing the laws of the

bodies of men, fully armed, broke up public

and discuss p litical qpes ions and vote for
the candidates OF Their Ct Dice When ht St
procedings were not sufficient for surces>
they cheated the poor blacks of their fran
chiSa by the wea"est tricks OF ballot oux
stuffiug. Such offrnses are more degrad-
ing and dangerous than resistance to tn,
revenue laws. 1On must see that it Is diff
cult tor thu executive officers of the United
States, crippled as they are by recent legi<-
lation, to meet this formidable opposi ion
by the execution OF the laws. All the,
can do is to try and enforce the laws through
the courts; and il the machi cry of public
justice is so corrupted by local prejudice
that it cannot punish such offences, then the
only remedy is in combining the political
power of all those who will not tolerat. this
new form of rebellion against national au-
thority. In this way remedy will b
found or made; andits application will be
fastened in proportion as the true state %
affairs comes to be understood. The dis
graceful incidents of the late canvass al
various points in that section will but give
additional strength TO the feeling that all
tn rights of all citizens guaranteed by the
Constitution, must be secured.

TIE gravemen of Mr.. Hayes com
plant against the South is that the PEG
pie did not elect large number of Re
publicans to Congress, in view of the
fact that they nominated such men as
Smalls in South Carolina who was on
trial for heinous crime, and since the
election has been sentenced to the Pen
itentiary, and Wells and Anderson in
Louisiana who had been indicted for
forgery and perjury and would have been
sent to the Penitentiary but for legal
technically. Count the South solid
against the election of such men all the
time.
