THE TESTIMONY OF A FOE.

Since the Barnwell county, South Caro-
lima, massacre, the colored people of
Greenville county have held a public
meeting, and its committee has pub
lished an address which the Charleston
News and Courier (Dem.) publishes in
full, summarizes in an editorial, and
cOmmends it "to the careful study of
Northern politicians and philanthropists
who manifest great concern for the ne
gro in the South and so little concern
for the negro in the North The News
and Courier, which commends the "ad-
dress as admirable in tone and cOnserv-
alive in sentiment" gives the following
salient points:
The address is a story of the progress of
the negroes in upper Carolina. They have
purchased lands: they employ improved
methods of farming: they are "becoming
more and more intelligent patrons Oh ire
markets." they are growing more temperate
in their lives; their schools are increasing
in number and efficiency; the pastors of
young men, who are faithful to their du-
ties:' there are many signs of improve
ment in methods of housekeeping among
our people," and their white ~neighbOrs are
Cicuitcu Will udNluR very fTle0uIy 1851
ing toward the negro" The negroes of
G~reenville are not disturbed about the
question of colonization. They declare that
they ARE not wards of the Nation, but citi-
zens." and they do not propose to leave
stay they say. land here we will stay; we
VIII never leave OF fOrsake our white
brother" N intelligent negro" they add,
desires less than the complete separation
OF the races on social lines, but all desire
mol bofDra <ha awre IS &h4 C&n<a a,1
country" The address denOunces the
recent lynching in Barnwell county. but
protests against the exodus of the negroes
from Barnwell county, or from any other
part of the State; In conclusion, the ne
groes of Greenville counsel the negroes
throughout the State to remain firm but
peaceable in the demand and maintenance
of the rights of free citizens"
If there is M class of people more
than another who will be pleased
and encouraged to read the above
recital of the progress of the col
ored people in any part of the coun-
try, they are the so-called philan-
thrOpists and others in the North who
hold to the doctrine of equal rights and
justice for all. 1t is a timely contradic-
ton of the reports which Southern poll
ticians are constantly publishing to the
effect that the cOlOred people are
shiftless, worthless and are making nc
progress. If the Greenville negroes are
making such progress, are becoming
landowners and advancing in intelli-
gence and morals, which is shown in the
writing of the address, why should the
News and Courier conclude its article on
this subject with the declaration that
the cOlOred man, Gin his relations as q
voter, is an ever-present menace to the
cause of good governments

WORK FOR THE COMMERCIAL CLUB.

One of the first things the Commercial

the dormant public spirit of the town
and declare open war on the selfish,
grasping disposition that stands at the
threshold of every new undertaking.
No longer ago than yesterday it was an

ISOLATION recently organized here had
decided not to buy ground for a perma-
nent track, because they no sooner
looked at a piece of ground and asked
the price than the owner. seeinga chance
of unexpected profit, put an %extortion-
ate price on it. The same spirit has
shown itself very often in different
ways. 1t stands at the gates of the city

the new rule comforting on the Speaker
discretionary power as to dilatory mo-
tons. They based their opposition on
the ground that they believed in the
right of flibustering. The adoption of
the rule by a majority approaching
unanimity shows that the position of the
two members met with practically no
support in the caucus. This was right.
The days of flibustering are passed.
The minority in q legislative body have
certain rights recognized and defined by
parliamentary law, but the right to con-
troll the majority or to obstruct business
is not one of them. We hope to see
every Republican member from this
State supporting every rule and decision
that tends to put an end to filibustering
and promote the transaction of business.

THERE are portions of the exclama-
tons of Democratic members during the
recent struggle in the House which, ac-
cording to the reports of Democratic pa
pers like the Boston Globe, do not get
into the Congressional Record, as APP
pears from the following extract from
that paper:
"The Republicans and their sympathiZers,
the colored men and pensioners III the gal
~leries." Kissed Mr.. Breckinridge. While the
Democrats expressed approval of the bit
ter arraignment with shouts. and pounding
OF desks. and waving of handkerchiefs
Both the cOlOred men and the men
who are now pensioners, because they
fought for their country, have good
cause to be "sympathizers" of the Re-
publicans, and they owe nothing to Mr..
Breckenridge, of Kentucky, or Mr..
Breckenridge, of Arkansas, neither of
whom was on the Union side during
that struggle. Mr.. Bynum may o n
sistently applaud the sheer of the ex-
confederate.

Thu revelations being made be-
fore the Kentucky Legislature are likely
to attract wide attention. According to
the testimony of reputable witnesses, at
least three counties of the State are
without any vestige of legal authority,
and a citizens only protection is his
rifle and his right arm. Decades of I'M
disputed Democratic sway, coupled with
dense ignorance, have made certain pOr-
lions of Kentucky a savage wilderness,
planted in the very heart of nineteenth
century civilization.

For many years past Congress has not
been a legislative nor a representative
body. By means of complicated rules
and arbitrary decisions, it has been in
the power of a minority to nullify p%arlia-
mentary law, Obstruct legislation and
prevent the majority from doing what
they were elected for, and what the peo-
pie wanted them to do. The new rules
will end this state of things. They lib
crate the House from it's self-impOsed
bonds and make it once more a legis-
lative and representative body. They
are a revival of popular government.
