In Washington City, where the negro was fi rat enfranchised, the nation exhibited to the world the most corrupt, profligate and demor alized government to be found in the Union, and the same political power ? that gave tue ballot to the black men of the capital wa? compelled to re voke the elective frauchis? and save the credit and good name of Wash ington by nuking the negro voiceless in his" own g?v?riiir?en'tr It Avas a sad u?ceasity-and a sad confession of the failure of suffrage when exercised by race prejudice without intelligence ; I but the same Republican statesmen who gave the right of self-rule to the black man in the capital of the na 1 ion, had to rescue the capital from destraction und shanie by sweeping disfra ncbisemeut. St gr? Knie In Soul li Carolina. Iii no section of the Union did the ol ore l race have audi an opportuni ty to Fucceed in creditable self mle as in South Carolina, '-iud tho failure has simply made it impossible for them lo regain power in this State lor many years to come. That the illiterate bondman of yesterday should rule a great State wisely to-day, could not he expected : hat the masses have failed lo be just to themselves and to the power they were suddenly called upon to exercise, mainly beciuse of the cor; iptionand faithlessness of tLe leaders of the race. South Carolina had a galaxy nf colored leaders when reconstruction committed the control of the State to the preponderating race rh?t has not Jveen equaled in ability ?nd culture in any other por tion o;' the country; and if the.y had boen honest with their race and with powiT, the negro masses would have been elevated, instead of dernoraliz ing them, and they would have been taught industry, selfreliance and thrift instead of appealing (0 the passions, prejudices and low cupidity of igno rance. When I recall the long list ol able negroes who were prominent ir liie eaily Republican rule of South Carolina, and follow them throng! their gradual descent into dependonci or shaine, it presents a pointed com mentary upon the problem of self rule b) tiie negro. There are negn names connected with the control 0 Sou:h Carolina which should bav ?nude Iii? Slate and the race illnstri ous in the elevation of the freei and in the just government o commonwealth. And many ol' I were natives of the State. Car j Rai ney, Smalls and Nash wen horn in slavery ; Cardoza was J froe Hy his father-master; Rainey "cha y Iiis own freedom before war, -and Smalls and Nash were i j free by emancipation. These ; j endowed with uncommon intellig J and knowing the bondsman's c j life, should have been each .a M i to lead his people into the prom ! land of self-rule; but Cardoza ! Smalls are convicts to-day, and ? j escaped the criminal dock by cor sion arid resignation of his seat in Senate. Rainey alone escaped a rear of crime, and he ceased to be tential with his race. Of the ol distinguished negro leaders I re rue untutored but eloquent Whip] who csr^e from Michigan ; the shr< and unscrupulous Purvic, who honored an honored name in Ph delphia ; the brilliant Elliott, \ fitted himself in the free schools Massachusetts to answer the Cont erate ex-Vice-President Stephens triumjm on the floor of Congress; lawyer, "Wright, who was the first gro admitted to the bar in Penni vania, and who rose to the Supre Bench of the State; the cultured J lany, who won college honors in O and once made a bold stand for ne/ reform by running as the reform ci didate for Lienteuant-Governor, a the sagacious Boseman, who serv his race by nestling down as t Charleston postmaster. There w< o:hers of mora or less ability, but t half score I have named should ha made South Carolina a most prospi ous Commonwealth, and her name cal majority of freedmen a happv a wisely self-ruled people. How ttie Negro leaders Fell. The man who should have been t foremost of his race in honor and ut fulness is Cardoza. He had'ever thing to make him faithful and en nent. He possesses superior natui abilities, was thoroughly educated Scotland when nominally a slave, . tered the ministry and was tho i spected pastor of a New Englai congregation when emancipation ai reconstruction brought him back aid his people in the escape frc darkness. He came here with t purest and loftiest aims, and was t -first Secretary of State under t .^arpat-bapc rei KU. ^Ie was purpose assigned tO that position by the rain white and black adventurers beean he was honest, as his official dnti gave him no power of restraint upi his thieving associates; but the lux ry of crime was around him on eve side ; he learned to tolerate it ai soon his good purposes were lost the lleod-tide of corruption thatsur ed agaiust him. He was deemed sr ficiently demoralized tobe made Sta Treasurer under the later and mo violent reign of debauchery, and 1 ended a convict. He was saved fro sentence hy the general treaty peace between the contending fore of thc State that saved Patterso Smalls- and Nash, with Cardoza, fro the penitentiary ; gave Butler hisse ; in the United States Senate and eu ! ed various Federal prosecutions fi violation cf the National electic laws. Cardoza ia now a clerk und the Hayes administration. Whippi was one ot' the earliest of the legi lative jobbers, and succeeded in foie ing himself into a judicial electio but both sides revolted against such mockery of justice and he .was cou pelled to surrender his claim to ti office. He is now a local leader ar pettifogger among the ?emi-barbaroi negro hoi des of Beaufort. Purv was a prominent leader in the Hom as chairman of a mo6t important cori mittee, and he did a3 much as an one to hasten the overthrow of tl negro ruie. He now resides in Charle ton ami is a beneficiary of the Ni tional Government. Elliott is one i the ablest and boldest of the race have known. He gathered a fair ec ucation in the Massachusetts fr? schools, and developed into ene of tl most brilliant and eagacious leade: of the State. He was Adjutant-Gei eral, Speaker of the House and men ber of Congress, and his famous di bate with Alexander H. Stephens i the National House of Repiesenti t ves stamped him as capable of hig leadership among men. But he di voted his great abilities to the wor of plunder instead of elevating an benefiting his race, and when tr. State was robbed until both whit? and blacks were impoverished, fell deluded negroes deserted Lim, an he now basks in the sunshine ol Pre ?dent Hayes as a department eubord nate in Washington. Wright had rare opportunity to make a creditab] '? record for himself, his race aud h adopted State. He had opened tl way for the elevation of his colore I brethren by gaining the first adrai i sion to the bar in Pennsylvania, an i ho was chosen one of the Suprerr II Judges in South Carolina. He wt 31 not, eminently fitted for the poeifeioi - although ho could have filled it cree - itably by the exercise of judicial ii ) tegrity, but his decisions soon beean f a matter of open barter, and diesipi s tion followed his disgrace until I . finally resigned to escape unanimpt t impeachment. Smalls is of the hero s i ic mould. He is remembered as the i slave who n?n his vessel into the Uni , j on blockade to cast his fortunes with I j the defenders of the Gjvernment. He ! j is illiterate, of course, but a man of ? j rare natural . abilities. He should ! j have been a beacon light for his race : ; to guide them to advancement, indus i try and honest thrift, bnt he ended his career in Stace politics as a con vict and carried his dishonor into Congress. He was a candidate again at che late election, but his own race, although largely in the majority and able to elect him under any rule, have wearied of a leadership that has degenerated into mean ambition and plunder, and he was largely beaten. Nash was an illiterate hotel servant in this city before the war, but he had much of the ability and more of the selfish cunning of Smalls^ and he was an omnipotent local leader for a time, making himself Senator and Presi dential elector in 1870. He held the fate of Hayes in his hands when the result in the State was questioned, and he made the most of it. Ile pub licly professed to have received a large oiler from the Democrats to vote for Tilden, but whites and blacks un derstood that it was simply notice that the Republicans must pay his price, and it had to be done. He confessed his guilt as a Seuator and resigned to save prosecution, and he is now in obscure retirement with none so poor aa to do him reverence. Boseman made a battle] for himself and is still comfortably fixed as post master in Charleston, au I Delany is a Trial Justice by the,: favor of the Democratic Governor. Rainey pur chased bia own freedom and has been active in the Republican control cf the State without becoming noted aa a jobber. He was assailed as corrupt, but it was because he tolerated rather than participated in corruptio , and the searching investigation that fol lowed the overthrow of the carpet baggers failed to stamp him with guilt, but he bas lost his power with his race because he is regarded as a placeman, and he now filia a Wash ington clerkship. Such is the sad story of the decline or fall ol' the ablest body of negro leaders ever felt in any of the States. The Result Upon lae Bare. fl None know better than the masses of the colored voters ol' South Caro lina that their attempt at self-rule, hus been a terribie failure, and they ore now distrust:ul of all colored leaders, while they have nothing but curses for the desperate white adven turers who impoverished both races while assuming to elevate acd beuefit the negro. It was Ib?s feeling that' made the election of Hampton possi ble in 1?70, and the sceptre once wrested from such a race, will not soon be ;egained. They feel little hope of aiding themselves by a negro restoration. They saw the State rob bed of lands for negro homes and the property stolen by those who claimed to be the friend of the negro.. They saw taxes wrung fro a property to educate the negro, and a large por tion Btolen outright and the echools made merely a mockery of education. Now they see seventy-five thousand colored children in free schools, and nearly twelve hundred colored teach ers instructing them under the bene fi cence of the State. They see, also, an amendment of the Constitution adopted making fixed and ii revoca ble appropriations for free and equal education, and the Governor of the State declaring for still greater in crease in the facilities for instructing both whites and blacks. They see business and confidence revive; they have more labor and better pay; they are steadily increasing their friendly relations with the whites by leases of lands and many of them are becom ing small proprietors since they ceas ed to neglect industry to follow the commands of selfish leaders, and a large proposion of the more thrifty class have openly taken their politi cal stand with the whites, white thou sands of others, especially in minori ty counties, refuse to take any part in politics. They have a majority of from twenty to thirty thousand in the State on a strict color line division, but there will never be another solid negro vote cast in this State. Supe rior intelligence and will must rule here as in all other places in the world, and both whites and blacks understand it. There will be unjus tifiable methods here to repress such negro counties as Beaufort and Char leston, and thj-y will need the cor recting hand of justice; but until all the laws of human nature and of in terest shall be reversed, the white man will rule tho inferior race, and he will do it better in the South at this time tian the negro can rule himself. This is not the sentimental view of th* race issne in the South, but it is the truth. A. K. M. The mealing of the State Grange last week rt Charleston was one of the beet ever held.

In giving your .iddr I said that most likely you me tnt let Mr. Sherman know that you wi not to remain in Charlottesville, I were on your way hom ?, an I thal hf- wished to explain himself in a wry he must address vouatCJuraij Since my rel urn home, however, has been intimated to rae that I w mistaken in my apprehension of yo meaning, and that it was your p1 [pose to give Mr. Sherman, il he i sired it, a hostile meeting. I hope, my dear sir, that you w not think me impertinent if I fl whether my construction was light wrong, that I may know the oj. ini of one whose influent is deserved very great in thc- Church as weil State.

MY DEAR Si rt: Your kind ietl was forwarded t from Columbia ar reached me only yesterday. I a very munn obliged to ymi tor the ii terest you have shown in my behai and yon were entirely right in tl construction you placed upon my no to Mr. Sherman. That was wnit* as I passed through Ckarlottesvill and I naturally gave my proper a< dress, lt never occurred to me for moment that any one would constri my langtug* as giving or inviting challenge. Mr. Sherman forgot the proprie! of his official position as well as i mine when he made a scandatot charge against me in a public speee] I called bi-* attention to the languag he was reported to have need in courteous letter, thus giving him tl opportunity to disclaim or explain b utterance. In reply he not only r< iterated his charge, but he took tip opportunity to villiiy not only th people whom I represented, hut thos of the whole South. I could n( coudest end to notice his slanderot attack upon the South, and I simp! denounced his charge connecting ra witn the K'u-KUtx ar. false. I coul do no less than this, for there neve was a falser charge made, nor have ever known a grosser violation of pei sonal courtesy or ot official pivpriei than that of which he wa? guilty. It has been my good fortune neve to have hean involved in an "aftai of honor" in any way, sav? asapeac maker, and it is a source of deep grai ification to me to know that ? hav been instrumental in settling mar difficulties amicably. But I writ merely to assure you that yon did tc only justice in the view yon took c my language, and to th;-.nk yon fo the kindness you have shown. I hope, therefore, that you will no misconstrue my meauing when I te you that "my addre?.?" will be Wa*h ington after the 10th. With my lus wishes, I am very respectfully ant truly yours, WA PE HAMPTON. Rt. Rev.

We learn from the Greenville ?feted tint fifty-eignr persons left one sec tion of Anderson coon ty a week or r.e-n daysAtgo for Texas. The incorporators of the Greenville and Laurens Railroad recently held a meeting at Greenville. That these two places should be connected by r:iil there is not a doubt. A number of divers and wreckers, while operating in "Town Creek, in the vicinity of Charleston, recently brought to the surface two cannon which had evidently been used in the Revolutionary war. They are ten feet in length and six indi hore. W. C. Howard, of Grahamville, Beaufort county, exhibited at the late Charleston Fair, a rice cleaner which will clean and polish rice as good and better than the old process of pound? iug.

A special Washington dispatch to \ the New York Tribune, says that Con- \ - grsssman O'Connor, of South Caroli na, speaks rather despondently of the , political outlook in the South. He ?says that the solidity of that section is passing away, and that if the pres ent condition of affairs continues, he wili never again be a candidate for Congress from that District. On Sunday tiigiit Us.t while the family of Dr. Holmes, of Barnwell, were holding prayer in one of the rooms of the dwelling, lour miles from the village, a negro robber put hie band through a broken pane of one. of the side lights at the front door, turned the key, walked deliberately into another room and commenced nilla ing. Some ol' the family heard the noise and ca i ?ed the doctor's af> rention thereto. The villain wasfound secreted under a lounge, the covering ot which did not qui te reach the floor. As soon as the fellow realized his po sition, he slipped round Dr. Holmes, who was after him, and got out into the passage or hallway, ran down to rhe back door, unlocked it and ea caped. In noticing the Clarendon lynching he New York Herald says : "Des pite the horror surrounding thecrime, ve must deprecate such frequent re sort to these mob executions, for the people cf the South should learn that luminary justice is not always the most effective in repressing crime." Why deprecate lynching in the South my more than iu the West, where mob executions are far more Duiner -ms than in this latitude ? We know, is the Herald does, that ''summary justice" is not always the most effec tive ir repressing crime; but some? times it is-as when brutal negTOea murder white women. No law but lynch law has.any deterrent effect upon negroes of the lowest .class.-* Xi U).< and Courier.
