TME NEGRO EXODUS.

The fact that numbers Of colrted men
have left certain parts of tho South for
the West is now the theme of The Radi.
cal press throughout the country. and il
distorted in every conceivable way, but
the facts are beginning to get out. The
Republicans have distributed circulars
among them, particularly in Mississippi
and Louisiana, promising them large
bounties if they will go to Kansas and
other Western States, which these peo.
pie arc dupcd into believing and acting
upon. The promises are, Of course.
inlse, and the poor colorcd people who
have not lost their confidence in the
lfePublicnn party will find, ms many OF
them have already done, that they are
putting their trust in as hcarllcss n
crowd ~ ever lived. We have always
tired to give the c0lorcd people good
advice, and now we would rcpcut TO
them our belief that the best thing
they can do for themselves is to let poll.
tIclnns alone, and devote themselves to
their business av0cations. if, however,
they want to move out to give the Radi-
cal papers something to discant upon,
we are sure that we express tho opinion
Of tho people of South Carolina when We
say they are welcome to go. The white
people of this State can get along b, :
ter without the negro than he can
without us. Hero hc has good govern
mcnt, ample protection and friends who
can and do help him. Whenever he
leaves these to try his fortunes in what is
to him the unknown world, he will have
taken step which he will regret for the
balance of his life.

the attacks made on our good faith by
holders of fraudulent bonds, who, with
their agents and friends in this State,
have been inducing the opinion that re-
pudiation was rife here becausc the State
would not pay those claims, which are
not and never have been obligations that
are binding either in law or equity. We
pre- 'ume tina. this idea has ut last been
exploded, End that the holders Of honest
debts Of the State will understand once
aud fer oil tha. the State means to pay
them.i All that TIE holders Of tho recog-
nized debt have to do is to keep aloof
from tho fraudulent portion Of It, and
then as regularly as their interest falls
due 1t Will be paid. The fact that the
valid bonds have risen in value 80 rapidly
shows that capitalists understand the
situation, and benccforth the cries of
those who are secking to obtain payment
of their fraudulent claims will not affect
our credit any more than the man who
fails TO enforce the payment Of coun.
tcrleit bank note can affect the credit of
that bank by prating Of il and muttering
to himself Of its fraud and dishonesty
because it does not pay his counterfeit
bill.

The New, yYork. legislature, which is
controlled by Republicans, has passed
resolutions condemning the action of the
Democratic party in Congress- ON the 'ap-
preparation bills, classipg It as rsyolp-
tionary and dangerous. The resolutions
were passed by astrict party vote, and are
therefore worth only as much MS the in
dividual opinions of the members and
nothing more. The Republicans in the
New York Legislature, agree with the
Republicans in Congress and the Demo
Gratis of that body agree WITH the Demo
Gratis of Congress. The Republicans of
the empire State were therefore guilty of
attempting supervision Of Congress,

Undertaking, by n spbJmnd, to remove
from their place OF lawful deposit and
Custody the public archives Ut the State.
"Mr. Sims cannot bring them here
officially. The moment he places his
hands upon them TO remove them from the
place where the Legislature hae placed
them he violates his official duty, and no
order of Court or permission Of the Cover
nor even can justify him.
"The principle upon which the Corr..
have refused to use the judicial proc 4s
against officers Of the Executive depart
mcnt is the vital one Of the necessity OF
maintaining the absolute independence
Of the coordinate departments Of gov
ernment"
The assistant distric. attorney took the
ground that certified copies would not
serve the same purpose rs the originals,
because 1T was handwriting that they de-
sired to prove.
The Court held that il had the power
to compel the production OF the original
records, but that the district attorneys
rule had been defective inasmuch M he
failed 70 nOtifoy the secretary of State
that the originals, and not copies were re-
CURED. The court therefore, instructed the
h'"ti''t 'ttVt'oy w huieHu UlS RUE, anu
the order compelling the production of
the poll lists would be granted.
Thus it will he seen that Judge bond
has gone one step further in the conflict
Of jurisdiction than even the Teller In
vestigating Committee went. The same
point was raised before the Committee,
and it did not undertake to compel the
production Of the papers. The decision
of Judge Bond. therefore, was invested
with double interest; and although it
is correct in the opinion of many law
ycrs, it is an utter defiance of State law,
and subversion Of State authority. 1t
cOmpcls an officer of the State to violate
the law of the authority from which he
derives his office, and if law, it il GER
tainly very bad law, for the evils to flow
from failing to obtain original documents,
in some cases, are inconsidcrable COM
pared with those likely to follow from
spiriting the records OF State about to
suit the fancy of United States District
Attorney.

Senator Williams, of Kentucky, made a
scasible speech on the army bill, in which
he referred to the presence of Confeder-
ate Generals in Congress from the South,
and said that he only regretted that the
North had not pursued the same wise
course and sent her true and valiant SOL
diers to rule the councils of the ma
ton. Tho soldiers, who fought each
other in the late war were patriots
battling for what each believed to
be right, and now that the conflict is
over they have shenthed their swords nd
returned to the pursuits of peace with n
higher regard for each other than they
ever had before. Brave men do not
fight their conflicts over and anon over
again in words. It is oily tho mean ant, iii,
despicable coward who seeks to convince
the world of his bravery by constant
abuse Of those who have differed, and set
tied those differences by sn appeal to
arms. 1t is the bomb.proof politicians
who have never rendered their country
any more hazardous service than sitting
in Congressional halls and drawing COM
Portable salaries that are fighting the
battles of the late war over again in
wor'is iu this the fourteenth year after
peace. The men who cry revolution, re-
bellion &C., now in the Congress of tho
United States are to be excused for their
course, as their timid natures have r..ycr
pursued aught but the paths ofpeace, and
TO them the acme Of heroism and daring
bravery is to get up in the halls of Con-
:ess aaa @:a:::nt before tho iiation express
sions of that valor which they took good
care to conceal when there was need
for valiant men to como forward and do
battle for their country. Mr.. Williams
is right. 1t is TO be regretted that the
true soldiers of each section of the Un.
ion could not have been entrusted with
the work of pacification. The men who
fought for their country were patri-
ots, and have been seeking pacifica-
tion, for they know the horrors of war and
the blessings of peace. The inyincible
heroes af peace arc too often selfish.
ambitious and ignorant of those ter
rors which they refer To in order to en-
flamc the public mind, that out of the
turbulence they may advance their own
mischievous ends. IL the North would
give these agitatorS back seat It would

In the Barnwell election cases Judge
Bond decided that the proof did not srs-
tain the indictment, in that it did not
chow that citizens were molsated on nc
count of race, color or previous condi.
tion, and, further, because 1t did not
show that the interference was 10 prevent
them hom giving support TO any person
asa candidate for Congress, and on these
grounds directed the jury to hiring in a
verdict of "not guilty." which they did.
The District Attorney thereupon i,nme-
diately moved to continue all of the other
election cases to the November term of
the United States Court, which conyenes
at Columbia. The motion was not re-.
sisted, aud the disposition asked for was
made of all Of them. Thus enceth the
Frmo9t reckless prosecution thata modern
government has ever instituted, and its
termination is apt to be final, The cases

acter of the cases seems to have been too

The army appropriation bill passed
the Senate last week without amend.
mcnt. and therefore goes to the Pres-
dent just rs it left the House. 1t prohib-
its the use of the army at the polls or
fer political purposes, and confines its
operations in times of peace strictly to
the provisions Of the Constitution
and the laws mnde for the enforce
ment Of lis provisions, which entire
ly rob it of the political uses aud
power to which it has been put since the
war. The bill is now before the Presi-
dent, who is said to be minutely examining
it, with the assistance Of Mr.. Evarts, with
view of finding some ground upon
which to give his veto 1t will. however,
be very difficult for his exccllcncy to give
the country the benefit of his real obec-
tions, rs it would be entirely too candid
to come out and cay that he objects To
this bill because it will hurt the Repub.
lican party; and aside from this, there is
really no cause for Ills opposition. He
cannot veto it on the ground .hat it is
either unconstitutional or revolutionary
to enact general legislation in ,roprin.
tion bills, for the record show that the
Republican party has frequently passed
laws in that way, and that Mr.. Il. b.
Hayes, while member of Congress, vo-
ted for some bills in precisely the same
shape :s the present one. 1t will, in our
opinion, therefore be difficult for the
President to frame veto message on the
bill in question, for its provisions are
admitted to be just and wise by tho citi-
zens of the whole country. Even the
majority of Congressman opposed the bill
Oh technical grounds, without commit
ting themselves ON its merits, and the
grounds assumed by them have been
completely answered by the long list of
respectable precedents. We predict,
therefore, that the army bill will become
law, either by the approval of the Pres
i'lent or by his silence OH it, which will in
ten days make it law without his an.
proval. Thus the ARM problem in our
politics will be solved, and the country
will breathe more freely that one of the
indications of Il tendency of our govern
ment to despotism has been forever
ended

Judge Bond sentenced tho persons
convicted of election offences before the
United States Court to fine Of Eve dol
lars and the costs Of the cases, which is
extremely light, showing that he docs
not think tho offences amounted to any
thing, and yet the United States went to
the trouble of packing juries to convict
in such instances. It shows the dcspc
rate lengths to which the Radicals will
go even to make the smallest amount Of
political capital. Tl;c subvcrsion of
justice and the manipulation of Courts
is too grave matter to be INDUCED in

Governor Simpson has issued pardons
to cx-State Treasurer +. L. Cardozo and
ex.Congressman Robert Smalls. The
INTELLIGENcER has uniformly opposed
the granting of pnrdons to these crimi-
nails, but we have no doubt the reasons
which actuated the Governor are good
and sufficient. They are the only two
who have been convicted, and arc both
colored. 1t was, therefore, probably
thought best to let them off without max
ing them martyrs. in the opinion Of the
colored people, by furnishing them for
offences which they and hundreds OF
other committed during the days of Radi-
calism. 1t also shows that the people oil
this State, are merciful to the colored
man, and that this race is not to be op-
pressed by the rule of the Carolina De-
mocracy.
