Discussion on the Blair Bill.

In the course of the debate Senator Van
Wyck said the voting Of the colorcd man of
the South was nauseating to white people.
Would those white people be any better salts
fed with negroes voting when they should
become educated lie appealed to the Som
tor from South Carolina %(llampton) for in:or-
nation.
Senator Hampton said he pcrs unallv was
not obnoxious to The criticism made by Srna-
tor Van Wyck, for he Champion could claim
that he was the first man in the South after
the War-and he believed the first man i'm
Amcrica-thut proposed to give the negro the
right t." vote, and did that immediately after
the War.
Senator Van Wvck was proud to hear that,
but asked did the white men of South
Carolina follow your example in that dircc-
ti"n? Did the people of Mississippi follow
your example? There was the misfortune.
There had been II leader with the right i'm

Hon. w. G.. Benet.

The Presidents message claimed so large
a part of tine Chronicle's space on Tuesday
morning that We were unable to give even
a faint idea of the admirable address de-
livered by Hon. w. C. Benet, of Abbeville,
before the graduating class of the Georgia
Medical College.
Mr.. Benet is one of the lesi;rE lawyers
of South Carolina, and is a NAH of extra
ordinary attainment. Educated in Scotland,
his native land, he has cast his fortunes in
the Palmetto State, where he has carried
to his profession a mind unusually stored
and trained, and a practical intelligence
thoroughly available. The Chancellor of the
University who met him here during the
Medical College common cement, pronounced
him one of the best equipped young men he
ever saw. and a prominent Justice in Carolina
has stated that he is one Of the most gifted
and promising men in the South.
1t is sufficient to say that his slcec in
Augusta on "Medicine and Law" was just
the address that such n man could deliver,
and that the impression left upon our people
was that which II polished intellect and
refined nature alone could make.-Augusta
Chronicle.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

Much comment has been ELECTED in
political circles by the Message Of the
President to the Senate, relative to their
demand for papers on file concerning
the removal Of certain officials. The
Presidents political friends seem 10 be
divided in their opinion, as to the wis
dom of this action on the part of the
President. But whatever may be said
OF the wisdom or necessity Of the Mes
sage, all must concedc that it is an able
manly and we'll written paper. 1t shows
that u President is made Of stern stuff
and ls not to be bull-dozed into any &C
ton which he regards dcrogatory to his
high p~rerogatises, even by a Repuhli-
can Senate. The only mistake which
we think the President has made in the
matter, is that the number of his remov-
ais from office has not been great enough
1t they had been more universal the
Republican Senate would not have dur
ed to force such an issue. for they find
in the comparatively few number OF
eases vhich they have to consider, that
iny springing this issue, they have, SO to
speak, bitten off more than they can
we'll chew.
The President may we'll afford to rest
now upon his oars. and after Mcssrs.
Edmunds. Sherman and company, have
found out, that though in a majority in
the Senate, they cannot bull-dozc our
Chief Executive, they will give in as
gracefully as possible under the circum-
stances.

.GRlTlGlsN Of TIE ADMINIsTnA

hstpne Of the necessary consequent
cssNresulting from the agitation of the
New gpea::" question, a very, .unneces-
sary, If not a very unjust criticism of
Governor Thompson's ADMINISTRATION
has appeared in the Augusta Chronicle,
written it is supposed, by Hugh Far
ley. Esq. Of Spartanburg.
Governor Thompson. Individually, is
an no way responsible for being in his
present high position. 1t was the "peo-
pie" who put him there, against his ex-
pressed .wish. He is pre-emiently a
peoples man.. A great many of the So
called errors Of the administration can
not be justly charged to the Governor.
He is not responsible for the present
high rate Of taxation. He did not
frame the appropriation bill, but. mefe-
SIy approved it. as the wish Of the peo-
pie expressed through their direct rep
resentatives, and as twas his bounded
duty to do. 1t is true that his admins
9tration has not been marked by any ex-
traordinary stroke of State policy, for
there has been no occasion for it. Nor
has it been noted for any serious blum
ders. He has made n faithful, energet-
ic Executive, and has discharged his iu-
ties with fairness, tirmness and prompt
ness.
The "New Desl' agitators, are strang-
ty inconsistent in claiming to represent
the "dear people" and thus striking at
the only a whom they claim was put
in office by the people" 1t is jewel
they do not possess. We arc afraid the
trouble with them is, they are the "outs''
and they want to be the Gins,

Wednesday, the 10th inst, is the first day
of Lent, and known as Ash Wednesday; so
called because, in the early days of Christiun-
itv, it was the custom to place upon the head
upon that day the ashes Of palm leaves, which
had been blessed on the preceding Palm Sun
dav, in token Of the humble spirit which the
season should excite in the penitent. Lent
consists of forty days, corresponding to the
length of Moses fast before receiving the
Law, of Eljah's before the false prophets and
idOlatry of Jezebcl, and of tho Savionr's be-
fore entering upon the work Of His ministry.
