THE PEACEFUL REVOLUTION.
What Shrewd Northern Republican Says
About 1t.
COLUMBIA. S. c.. Oct. 30.

COLUMBIA, S. c., Oct. 80.
The more l see of the condition of af-
fairs here the more am I convinced of
the utter and entire hopelessless of
the attempt Of the Republicans to do
anything as party. They had as well
disband at once, make terms with the
enemy and bow to the inevitable. The
record of the party is such, and the Bit
terness of the whites SO great, that moth
ing bearing the Republican name can
survive locally in power here. Under
our form of government there is abso-
lutcly no remedy for this, no way to pre-
venta powerful and eInbittered minority
from overcoming weak and defenceless
majority. South Carolina is lost to the
Republicans, and will hereafter be as
Democratic us Georgia.
| asked the postmaster here, an intel
ligent colored man, if he also thought
the case entirely hopeless. He said he
did. The Republican party was depart
ing this life in South Carolina about as
fast as anything he knew Of. If it was
lawful and possible to station the whole
United States army in the State, with a
detachment in each district, the party
might be saved so long rs the army re-
maincd, but, the moment the army was
Withdrawn, down would come the whole
fabric. 1t can't stand alone any more
than an empty bag in heavy wind.
If there was no other objections, land
there are many,) Democratic Congress
has forbidden the Use of the army fu-
such purposes, and the Federal prosecu-
tions imdcra section of the Revised Stat
utes don't amount to row Of pins. So
there is no way but to fold our arms un-
der the Constitution and see the Repub-
lican party in South Carolina ground in
to the sand. But it's an ill wind that
blows no good. With the end of the
party here will end the race antagonism,
the riots, the outrages, and the niassacrcs.
These have long since ceased in Georgia,
and in every other Southern State where
the Republican party has not vexcd the
white people by existing. The hopeless
condition of the blacks here is fast draw
ing upon them, and they are bowling to
the inevitable. Hence the formation Of
Democratic clubs among them, and their
"chccrs" for the Democratic speakers,
But these come only from the throat. In

The election in this State on the first
Tuesday in this month for State and
County officers and five members of Con-
gress was as quiet and peaceable as any
general election ever held in the State.
The Radicals were completely demoral
lied, from the fact that their heretofore
corrupt leaders had fled from the State
for fear of indictment and the punish
ment which outraged justice would in
Aict upon them. The Northern Radicals
must blame their own party for the over
whelming defeat of the party in this
State at the late election. Grant, for
eight years, with the army of the United
States, sustained in power such men as
Scott, Moses and Chamberlain, who
preyed upon the people Of the State, de-
stroyed its credit, pilfered its treasury,
and filled all the departments of the
State government with as ignorant,
vicious and corrupt set of official miscre-
ants rs ever cursed any country. The
enlightened sentiment of the country de-
mandcd that the United States army
should no longer be used to sustain in
power high officials who, under the sane
ton of law, oppressed and robbed the
people, who held their Offices not by vir-
tue of the will or the interest of the pco
pie, but by virtue of Federal bayonets; /;
and hence as soon as the army was with
drawn the leaders, appalled, with fear
and terror at their crimes, fed, and their
party, no longer having the army to sus-
tain it, met with merited defeat. 1t is
not surprising that the Democratic vic
tory in the State was so decisive, when
the mountain of corruption which crush
ed the Radicals is considered.

THE COLUMBIA REGISTER.

Our remarks about the Columbia Reg
ister last week did our contemporary a
great injustice, which we regret, and
cheerfully correct by publishing its ar
ticle, which completely vindicates it
from any connection with the matter of
our dispatches last week:
"The Anderson INTELLIGENcEn says
chat the Columbia Register availed it
self Of one of the rules of the Associated
Press to prevent the INTELLIGENcER
from receiving news until it had been
published in that Journal" and more to
the same effect. Our contemporary has
jumped to q conclusion, which is without
the slightest foundation, so far as the
Register is concerned. No application
was made to this office for access to our
telegraphic reports from outside the
State, and no one connected with the
Register was informed that such was the
wish of the INTELL1GENCER. We have
never declined, in a single instance, to
accommodate any of our contemporaries
in this respect, and the editor of the
Register has responded cheerfully this
week to every such demand upon his
time, as the special dispatches in the Alb
beville Press and Banner, the Sumter
Watc.1man and other journals will testify.
1t is true that we have the right 10 ex-
clude others from the use of the tele-
grams sent BY the Associated Press, be-
cause the Register pays the toll exacted
for these dispatches, but this right has
not been exercised at any time. An in
justice has been done us by the INTELLI-
GENcER, which We believe it will correct.
Our authority for the conclusion
reached in our article was stated last
week, and it appeared to be sufficient at
the time. We are now satisfied, how
ever, that the information was incorrect.
We know that this paper has been uni
formly courteous and accommodating,
and while we were satisfied from the
beginning that the editor of the Register
had not refused the dispatches, it is now
equally clear that none of the Company
would have done so. We regret the
mistake, as we were entirely misled, and
thereby unintentionally censured, with
out cause, one of our most highly appre-
ciated exchanges.

GOV. HAMPTON,s PROCLAMATION.

Gov Hampton on yesterday, the 18th
inst, issued his proclamation, announc-
ing that in consequence of serious injury,
resulting from painful accident, which
produced inability on his part to dis
charge the duties of the Office of
Governor, that the Constitution of the
Commonwealth devolvcd the same upon
the Hon. W. D. Simpson, Lieutenant
Governor Of the State. Gov. Simpson
will therefore perform the duties devolv-
ing upon the Chief Magistrate until Gov.
Hampton shall so far have recovered as
to enable him to discharge its duties.

property. The method by which it is
assessed is this: The Auditor makes a
list of each tract and parcel of land in
the county and places value on it, in
the discharge of which duty he is assis-
ted by regularly appointed assessors, in
vested with powers of inspection, &c.
He is required to have this statement
completed by the last of September. a
copy of which is furnished the Comp
troller General and the Board Of County
Commissioners. The County Board of
Equalization then meets and equalizes
the assessments as made by the Auditor
as they think is just and right. The
assessments for the various counties of
the State are then equalized by the State
Board, which meets on or before the first
Monday in October. Their transactions
are reported to the Legislature immedi-
ately upon its meeting, and approved or
disapproved, in whole or in part, as it
may deem proper; and as the property
is passed upon by this body it will be
taxed. If injustice is done any county
in the State, it can be righted in this
body, and we have no doubt that if any
of the agglieved counties can make it
appear that they are oppressed that the
relief demanded will be given them.
We do not wish to be understood as
seeking to oppress the people of our
neighboring County, for they have GER
tainly had their share of oppression since
the war, but we do want them to beer
their proportionate share Of the burthen
of taxation.
One word more. The Press and Bmner
says that it does not hold "any one man"
responsible for the action of the State
Board. Then, why does it censure Col.
Brown SO severely, and that, too, when
the editors of that paper know he was
not present when the assessment of Abb
beville County was raised? factions
speak louder than words"

A dispatcb was received on Fri,

"A dispatch was received on Friday
by Attorney General Youmans from d.
H. Chamberlain, which announced that
Chamberlain was ready to come to South
Carolina and stand his trial at any time
he should be wanted. Gen. Youmans
replied that the present term of General
Sessions would adjourn tonight, and that
in consequence Chamberlain could not
be tried before the March term of that
court, and that bail in reasonable
amount would be allowed him. Cham
berlain replied expressing his readiness
to give bail, and there the matter stands
at present.-C6Iun,bia Register.

- The recent election was fatal to the
carpct-bag representation in the United
States Senate. Conover, in Florida, and
Patterson, in South Carolina, were DOOM

tence at the election last August. The
last one of the carpct-bag tribe of adven-

will disappear with the advent of the

rupt as themselves will mourn their final
disappearance from the stage of action.

A SINGULAR incident occurred at the
Treasury Department a few days since
while there was some demand for the new
silver dollar as a souvenir and the people
were willing to pay premium for gold to
obtain the shining coin. A gentleman went
to bank and obtained half-eagle with
which TO purchase five new dollars. The
half-eagle was weighed, and though genu-
inc, it was pronounced short-weight by the
Treasury scales and rejected. In this case
the Government refused to take its own
coin, though it showed no signs of sweat
ing and probably was short-weight when
Issued.
