contributionsiJrum our fellow-citizens upon (he
grave quest ions which now agitate the public
mind, whether their opinions coincide witli ours
or not. A district neiespaper, we consider,
should be an index of the, various shades of pop
ular sentiment in tho section of country in which
it. e?'cufates. Our columns are open, therefore,

The Last Appeal.
,T Mo r. Snhf.t.Gii: ? ?? i?l m itx:
We have been informed that in some parts
)f this District not more than two-thirds of the
white citizens, who arc entitled to register,
[nave done so. To all such, we desire to pre
sent a few cogent arguments; aud we hope
they will consider well, before they recklessly
part with the privilege of voting, perhaps for-,
ever.
Did it ever occur to them, that in any scheme
bfjconfiscation which may coinc in the future,1
jt is probable that registered voters will be
among those who will be excepted 'I It will not
be consistent in Congress to allow a man to ex
ercise the privilege of voting, which is a re
cognition that he is a a proper citizen, in spite
of his having engaged in the war; and then
after giving him the right to vote, to take away
his property. Depend upon it, if any scheme
of confiscation is adopted, it will be against the
same classes that Congress hns already dis
i franchiscd, aud probably in addition to those.
Congress will include those who. being entitled
to register, have failed to do so.
Besides, a Radical Convention meets, and j
1 adopts a Constitution; that will fix tho qualifi
cations of voters lor the future iu South Caro
lina. Suppose the rolls of registered voters
furuish tho foundation for thoso qualifications;
will not thoso who have refused to register feel
the sad cotisequene.es ol their obstinacy, when
perhaps their votes might avert oppressive
taxes from their lands 'I
Again; to return to this matter of confisca
tion. In our District, the rules adopted by
th Boards in permitting or preventing regis
tration, arc about as liberal as could be expect
ed. Suppose Congress passed a law that those
who are disfranchised should sutler the loss of
their lands by confiscation, or should endure
some othor penalty, would not the fact of hav
ing failed to register be a strong argument
against a man, under tho charge of being sub
ject to confiscation ? And is it not hotter that
a man should obtain,, the decusion-of. the Board
in,-his^fi>3forrif:he?cfta do so.?. ?
Perhaps some of our fellow-citizens imagine
that they arc disfranchised, when they are not.
Some persons think that they are required to
take an oath, thn^ they have never participated
iu the rebellion. , That is not so. No one is
required to swear that he has not participated
in tho rebellion; but tho oath requiiod is, that
he is not disfranchised because he has par
ticipated in the rebellion. Now, a man may
JhaYo been in rubullion for five years, aud fought
'against the government of the United States
with all his might; and it is nothing, unless
'he has been disfranchised on account of it.
And no one can bo disfranchised in this State,
unless he was a member of Congress, or of the
Legislature, or an executive or judicial officer
before tho war. aud afterwards took some de
cided action in the war against the United
States ; or unless be hits been guilty of an in
famous crime.
So come out and register, nnd take some in
terest in a matter of the most vital importance.
True, the odds seem heavy against the cause
of truth aud of right; but let us to tho issue
boldly, doing our duty faithfully, and leaving
the rest to God. "God helps them, who help
themselves."

The Last Political Move.
The President of tho United States has for
a momeut awakened from his lethargy, and has
suspended Stanton from his position as Secreta
ry of War, and appointed General Grant to fill
the position ad interim. This !haa boon suc
ceeded by the decapitation of the Louisiana
tyrant Sheridan, who has been ordered to the
West to fight tho Indians. General Thomas
succeeds Sheridan at New Orleans. There is
one significant feature in connection with the
order traust erring Thomas to the cum maud of
the Fifth "Military District. Ho is instructed
to carry out aljl-exiatin girders, arid to make
uo changes in&tho . administration of affairs,
unless under instructions frpm General Grant.
This seems to be the entering wedge by Grant,
towards the assumption of complete control of
the five Military Districts. No important
changes arc to bo made without his permission.
Placo with" this) tho recent action at Washing
ton in regard to Sickles' Order No. 10, and
it will be observed 'that anj attempt is being,
made to centralize all the power at Washing
ton, and.to make tho five commanding generals
more military subordinates to execute orders
from Army Headquarters. Our distinguished
military comlnandor, by driving around inn
coach and /our, has excited the emulation of
his superior officer;' and Grant, determined to
excel, is about to try his hand iu managing a
team of Jive. The moro high-mettled his
coursers, the more Grant, who prides himself
upon equestrian exploits, will onjoy it. Ho
will hold a tight roin, and there will be no use
in kicking. As far as we, the people, are con
cerned, we welcome such a change of affairs;
for wo have still just a little of that republican
fccliug lcit iu our bosoms, that makes the sight
of any despot odious. If there is to be a ty
rant, let him be at a distance; and not in our
midst, to meddle in our private affairs, and be
come Receiver-General of the little we have
saved from the war,

To tho Managers of Elections.
? ~ . . >
W o call your attention to the communication
of "Fair Play" in our columns, and commend
it to your careful consideration. The evil is a
serious one, and ought to be remedied; and iu
the. absence of organization in this District,
you ?oem to be the proper ones to attend to it.
The Boards of Registration are not at all to
Manie in this matter, for many a freed man of
nineteen has the appearance of a maturer age.
Wo beg to suggest to you the following plan,
which will give you but little trouble and will
be a great publio benefit, for which your fel
low-citizens will thank you. Examine care-'j
fully tho lists at your respective polls, and
i communicate with former owners of the freed-,
men of doubtful age. If those former ownorsi
do uot live in your neighborhood, if you YiilL:
send to the Orangchxirg Nem the names of tho
frccdmcn, together with the names of thcir^
mothers, and of their former owners, we will
sec that those owners arc notified, so as to ttSfflfl
you in proving ages. Wo will do this cTOffl
fully for the good of the District, if the man
agers of elections'will do their part. It will
be but little trouble to each board, and will ac
complish a great deal of good.

The Formation of a New Party.
The indications of a reaction in Northern
and Western politics a.c encouraging. It
seems that the people a;c at last taking the
alarm ; and begin to perceive that their own
liberties, and the financial credit of tho country
will soon be dissipated, if the Radicals remain
in power. Wc publish in this issue, on the
first page, tho Conservative platform in Ala
bama, which is the first Southern State that
seems to have taken steps to organize a party
that cau eo-opcrate with the Northern Anti
radicals. In Georgia, the Anti-rcconstruction
ists are about to hold a Convention, to organ
ize for the approaching elections; but their
platform is to be rather more of the Hill and
Ferry order, than that of the Conservatives.
There seem to bo throe parties in the North,
and three forming in the South?at the North,
the Radicals, the Conservative Republicans,
and the Democrats; at the South, the Radi
cals, tho Conservative Unionists, and the Anti
reconstructionists. Tho real struggle is going
to be between the Radicals and Conservatives;
and the only salvation for tho country is to be
found in strengthening the Conservative rank".
Let the Democrats of the North give up De
mocracy, and the Anti-reconstructionists of the
South give up their extreme views, and let a
great Conservative party be formed, to which
all lovers of peace, order, nud liberty can at
tach themselves, irrespective of previous politi
cal opinions.

Four of Euisto, August 20, 1867.
Mu. Eiustor:?It seems to me that many
young frcedmen of nineteen and twenty years
of age, are taking advantage of the uncertainty
of their time of birth, and arc registering as
voters. Cannot some steps bo 'aken to correct
this evil? If the old Managers of Elections
would sift out such names at the different polls,
I am sure the previous owners of tho frcodmcu
would give them any needed nssistanco, to find
out the-correct ages of all such ; and the Boards
of Registration would then correct tho rolls
1 have no doubt, from what I have myself seen
that three or four hundred, at least, will rcgis
tor, who are not of age, if the matter is not at
tended 10. FAIR PLAY.

CiiAnr/ESTON, August, 21, 18G7.
The great bulk of the colored neophytes in
politics having completed their registration,
and the precincts being no longer thronged
aud difficult of access, our white population
;will. register in large numbers; and hereafter
the daily majorities will be in our favor. It is
barely possible, however, that we will be able
to neutralize the large majority against us;
still if the now prevalent disposition of our
people to assert their right, continues general,
we will not bo much in the minority ; and may
be able partially to control our City govern
ment. The following .statement exhibits the
results of registration to date;
Whites . . ISSa
Colored, ? . . 359 G
Aggregate - ? - 522S
Majority of colored - - 19G4
Several of the Boards having questioned the
I.igibility of lawyers to register, and the mat
ir"having been brought before the military, it
.has been decided that they arc not excluded. j
On Thursday night last, iu honor of their
large preponderance in the registration books,
and to stimulate the lukc--yarni to the exercise
of their privilege, the colored Radical Leagues
here had a grand torch light procession. Form
ing down town they inarched with banners
spread, torches glaring and transparencies bril
liantly illuminated, to the residences of their
party favorites, Dr. Mackey included, and re
ceived their congratulations. During their
noisy passage through King-Street, n pistol
having been fired by one of their number, and
some one having raised the report that it was
fired from the building occupied as a store and
residence by Mr. Ahrcns, the crowd attacked
the premises with brickbats, broke iuto the
store; and destroyed or stole most of its con
tents, and assaulted personally Mr. Ahrcns and J
his clerk. These geutlemen were only rescued
from the fury of tho mob, by the arrival of the j
police, who took them in custody. An exami
nation into tho affair, had the next morning,
outirely exonerated them, and they were re-1
leased. The negro, Josiah Ileyward, who
tired the pistol, was also arrested, and has been
turned over to the military for trial. Ho is
now in their custody, aud will bo arraigned
next week.
As both General Sickles and his Court wore
mercilessly severe in the punishment of Daly
and Radcliflb for the attack in a Columbia
bar-room* on two Radical emissaries, it is to be
hoped that this outrageous and unprovoked
assault on tho pcrsou and property of a peace
able citizen, who has the misfortune to bo a
Southern white man, will ho as rigidly investi
gated, and the participants receive as severe a
penalty. Any indisposition to notice the riot,
or to deal at least justly with the rioters, will
be equivalent to an invitation for its repetition.
And I fear, that, excited as tho negroes now
are, and lawless as some of their leaders desire
them to be, they would not hesitate to avail
themselves of it. They must be taught by
bitter experience, if necessary, that freedom
and enfranchisement do not include unre
strained license.
Capt. MoNclty, commanding tho Pilot Hoy,
a steamer plying between this city and Florida,
was last week tried before a Military Commis
sion for refusing cabin passage to a "school
inarm" of color in violation of Gcnoral Sickles'
Orderen the subject, and tho Civil Rights Bill.
Having been found gitilty, he was sentenced to
pay a fine of $250. General Sickles has np?
proved the finding and soutence, and in his ap
proval States that all future discriminations
"Will be appropriately punished/' ;
f&rofcjtfor g. Holmes of (JWjestoij ? Col
lege, to-higlifc lectured before the Young'Men's
Christian Association, on the "Creation of our
earth?its animate and inanimate beings geo
logically cousidored." Despite the threatened
inclemency of the weather, a largo audience
hoard him, apd all came away pleased,... Tho
Professor is usually very interesting on geologi
cal subjects; and his clTort this evening was
no exception to the rule. Ho will again lec
ture next week, and it is probable that tho Ab
sociatton, as soon-as the Summer seasons passes,
will make arrangements to have a scries of ad
dresses on literary and scientific topics, delivered
for the benefit of our young men aud the pub
lic.
The mania for "base ball" as an amusement
ccms to have taken general possession of our
ouug men ; aud every afternoon elubs meet to
practice on the Citadel Greeu, and the other
open grounds in tho City. The batting and
running and catching furnish excellent exer
cise, though it is perhaps rather violent wheu
the thermometer stands at 90?. Tho "Alerts"
and "Palmettocs" will soon engage in a match
jgame for the Championship. Can't Orange
^urg raise a Club ?
The health of the city is as good, as is usual
at this season of the year. A report of yellow
fever having made its appearance was in circu
lation last weck ; but was entirely unfounded.
It is hoped that this unwelcome visitor will
uot afflict us with his presence this Summer.
An epidemic would hopelessly blight the now
fine business prospects of our merchants.
SPECTATOR.
Order No. 10, &c.
Wc clip the following from the Washington
correspondence of the New York Herald, of
the 15th inst.
The first step towards the dcvclopcmcnt of
ihe new liberal policy for Southern Recon
struction was brought forward, in Cabinet
meeting to-day, nnd Grunt, who attended as
Secretary of War, favoured it promptly. T'nis ]
step was the adopting of an o^Jcr to General
?i?...e3. comv^jjcurig him to rescind his order
j suspending the payment of debts, and aiso his
other order by which the execution of process
of the United States Court in Wilmington, N.
C, was impeded. It was agreed in the Cabi
uct meeting to instruct General Sickles that
ho was in no case to interfere with the man
dates of the Federal courts. It is believed by
tho President 'that Reconstruction can go on
without abolishing every traco of civil govern
ment. In matters of loonl legislation not op
posing the theory of Reconstruction, it is con
sidered that the State Legihlatures should be
allowed to have their own way. This new or
der is, therefore, the result of these views, and
may be regarded as the fir6t chock to despotic
administration in the South since the suspen
sion of Stanton. It is believed that Sickles
will resign in consequence; but othore assert
that he will do no such thing.
Apropos of resignation, I am iuformed that
the policy likely to be adopted towards the
present. Military Commanders will be ono of
gradual decapitation. Sheridan will probably
be the first victim, and Pope the next. Then
there will be a pause. Should the other Com
manders profit by the fate of these two
and fall gracefully in with the Johnsonian
policy, they will be-allowcd to remain in office
for a long time, and may not be stirred at all
if their support is given heartily and in real
earnest; but if, when Sheridan is removed, tho
rest tender their resignations, I have no doubt
no obstacle will be thrown in tho way of their
retirement.
