OFFENDERS, NOBTH AND SOUTH.-The New York Times has aa article on "Un? discovered Grimes," in which it con? cedes that there is - no canse for the "pharisaical line of thought" by whioh peoplo in the North, when stories of Southern outrages ara reported in the pax -rs, aro apt to congratulate them? selves npon their superiority to their brethren at a distauoe. The police officers and judges of the criminal courts ia the large oities could give evi? dence enough on this subjeot. Yet Con? gress seems to consider tho organized tribunals and officers of justice in the Southern States incompetent to deni with crime in that section, and proposes to intervene with Federal authority, thus not only over-riding State functions, but by such legislation as that contem? plated in tho enforcement bill, and in the Ku Klux Aot, increasing the tempta? tions to crime by the faoility with which subordinate ufiloialt: may perpetrate out? rages in the pretended performance of duty, with no responsibility to State .courts, and the prospect of being leni? ently dealt with by the Federal authori? ties, if, indocd, any notice at all is taken of their offences. BEHIND-HAND.-A Washington letter aays: The Senate is so far behind with its business that nearly 500 bille on its calendar will by lost, whilo nearly 100 iu the HOUHO must meet the same fate. Among these are all the measures relat? ing to the internal revenue system, tho tax oa cigars aud tobacco, tho abolition of tho franking privilege, the land grunt railroads, except possibly tho Southern Pacific, whioh is pending in a conference ; the dozen steamship subsidy bills, the inaomo tax repeal, all the bills relating to our foreign affairs, all tho schemes for the revival of American ship-building; the naval line and staff bill, tho bill to abolish the grade of admiral, the bills ?mending the national baukrnpt law, the project to ro-orgauize the Post Office Department, to consolidate tho Indian tribes aud create the new Territory of Okalama, to provide for the admission of Utah and New Mexico as States, for an uir-line railway hence to New York, to croate a national system of education, together with many other bills of greater or lesser import, but especially the bill to establish a new Federal civil system over the South for the suppression of disorder, &c, whioh has been agreed on by the Reconstruction Committee. The Republicans are very mach disappointed at the failure of this bill, and would en? deavor to press it through were they not aware of the determination of tho De? mocrats to prevent its passage by every means kuowu to parliamentary law. This bill, among other features, pro? poses, it will bo remembered, to create several hundred Federul c#nmissiouers for the South. This, with several others noted, will, of course, be introduced anew in the coming Congress, but the increased Democratic strength has de? stroyed there the two-third rule by which the Republicans have been able in this Congress to force through so much le gis? lation. CUBA.-Tho force of tho Cuban re? bellion seems to have beca weakened since the crowning of the new king of Spain. The impression ia said to pre? vail on tbe island that he will initiate ce?orms which will remove the most se? rious causes of complaint against Spa? nish oppression and excesses. There is certainly room enough for reform. The new king is said to be a man of sense and generosity of sentiment. It will be a just und wise thing if he shall put un end to the bad system of administration which has prevailed in Cuba for many years. Tho cruelties practiced during <ho war by tho Spaniards havo been re? volting to tho moral souse of Christen? dom. Tho Spaniards, it is true, tell us to miud our own busiuess, and treat our own people with justice aud equity. It may bi true that what Spaniards do in Cuba is none of our busiuess, but it must also be obvious that many thors, in view of the oppressions practiced on the Cuban population, and of tho im? portant fact that the United Slates can put an end to mis-govcrnniout lhere if it eh i )^e, may consider that it in our busi? ness, and that thus tho matter will get into national politics, and the Govern? ment be ultimately compelled to inter? fere, ileuco it will be poliiic iu Spain to treat her own subjects in that spirit of justice and moderation which sho ex? pects from her powerful neighbor on this continent. TUE KU KLUX. - The Unionville Times lins no fa?tb in tho ability of mero Noldiery to disband the Ku Klux organi? zation. It says: "In our opinion, tho best way to break them up would bo to first break up tho gang of thieves uow plundering tho State, then put into State, County and judicial offices only snell men as uro capable uud honest, aud elect u virtuous aud intelligent Legislature that will show some respect for tho feelings, opinions and interests of the white pro? perty owners and tax-psyers of the State. Bring that power to bear against tho Ku Klux, and we believe it will rout them completely. At any rule, it is worlh a trial." During a sovero storm in Florence ina the2Gth ult., tho new Methodist Church was blown down; several small buildings wore unroofed and fences thrown down. 17 duaiiiH in Charleston for the week ending the 25th ult.-7 white and 10 colored.

EDITORS: T feel constrained iu begging you to allow mo a short ?paco in your paper to call attention to a fact of serious character. There is, at tho pre? sent time, a party of moo-known to me by the mimes of Elton and Watkiu who aro selling stoves under false pre? tenses. First These stoves, os far us I can judge-biking the ouo I purchased ns u sum plo-are not worth tho price asked. Second. They offer to sell on time till 1st of October, taking a nott! one day aller date, and, in a few days tbeicutler, demuud payinout, aud threat? en the simple country people with pro? secution aud penitentiary if tboj* refuse to pay, because their notes are un? stamped. Third. They sell the same Htoves fur different prices to different people. I want to warn tho people against theso men, and advise them if they have stoves to buy to get them from responsible parties in our own towu of Newberry. Theso aro faats, and ? am prepared to substantiate thom. Re? spectfully, G. Ii. CHAPMAN, Pomariu, S. C. The Boast is a shifty fellow, in Simon Suggs' Reuse of tho word. According io Mr. Farnsworth, who openly made the charges in the House some days ago, Butler is joint owner of a quarry from which tho Boston Post Office is being built, tho contract far tho latter having been let at his instance to tho highes! bidder. He also borrowed from tho Treasury Department certain valuable mirrors for bis private residence, und failed to return them. Butler answered by sayiug that Farnsworth was a "mad cat," and that I?is Uiajoiity at tho iast election was reduced from 14,000 to 1,400, whioh was, no doubt, tho best defence ho could make. GANADA ANDXHa UNITED STATES. -Tho New York Journal of Commerce 'remarks that Senator Howurd'o reaolotion asking thu cession .Of Canada by Great Britain, ia based! up?u a principio akin to tbat wide h won ld require pro per ty-h oidora tb give up their premises to the police com? missioners, because their money and bonds were a standing temptation to thieves, and thus an obs lacie to the per? manent harmony which should exist be? tween tiie city government and tbe citi? zens. ?Mr. Ho ?uni declaren that tbe ownership of the Northern portion of the continent by England "is, ia ita very nature, an obstacle to the permanent hui ino ny of tho two governments." Therefore let us have it, and keep the peace! Perhaps be interprets the noble seutiment in tho President's message, "let na have pence," iu the acuso that when wo covet what belongs to another, it should bo given up promptly, in order to prevent a quarrel. It may be doubted whether other people will see the morali? ty of this idea. The harmony between the United Stutes aud Canada lAVs been impaired by tho waut of a reciprocity treaty, aud by the fiahory dispute; and no doubt there is some soreness arising from the Alabama claims. Those- are tho cuises of uuy coolucsa that may exist, aud not the ownership of Great Britain. So far us Fenian raids from tho United States are concerned, our national police nus slr.)wu its ability to act promptly. The equitable adjustment of the troubles between ourselves and Great liri t ni u ouu not be facilitated by u spirit like that evinced by Mr. Howard and Mr. Butler. The complaint of Mr. Disraeli, iu a speech iu the House of Commons, to which wo lately referred, that the tom; of leading ofliciuls in tho United Status towards Great Britain was not as courte? ous as to other governments, muy have some foundation, aud tho resentment which the speaker expressed was m t. al? together as ubsurd us some of our jour? nalists seem to consider it. lu till tho civilized countries of the world men holding such prominent punitions iu tho Goveruiueut us Senator Howard and Representative Butler, are guarded in their allusions to other couutries, and adopt uo such laugnuge as is common to our demagogues, ti a less they desire to provoke a war. It is, therefore, not so ti ti reason able that foreigners should at? tach moro significance to tho utterances of some of our public men t han they de? serve, und that, even oinking nil allow? ances for Congressional appeals tu bun combo, they should conclude that thu public sentiment must bo hostile which is courted by such nppouls. We agreo with tho Journal of Commer?a that the direct tendency of all such talk is to make Cauada hate us, and to put Eng? land out of tho humor for concessions. Tho Howard resolution, by raising au additional issue, tho surrender of Cana? da, uud that in au oifensive form, plays iuto the hands of a party which has be? gun to show itself siuce the appoint? ment of tho joint commission, und which evinces a purposo to prevent the commission from making auy practica? ble settlement. True statesmanship would dictate tbut if we want Cauada, or auy other additional possession, we should obtain it honestly, and also as economically as possible. A course of justice uud fair dealing muy, iu ibo end, attract Canada voluntarily to this coun? try, and any other course, even if our financial condition warranted us in goiug into wur for that or any other purpose not demanded by national honor aud self-preservation, would only bring her in as a slave, to lie held down by thc strong arm of force. In truth, it con? cerns ourselves us nearly us it does foreign nations that we .should maintain a standard of honesty and morality in our dealings with others, und not de? grade ourselves into laud robbers, who, like other robbers, when they have plun? dered all within their reach, fall to light? ing among themselves for a division of the spoils.-Ballimore Sun. "ONE LIVELY DAT."-Now Orleans had ono lively day last week. A young mau shot himself on account of u quarrel with his brother's wife, a steamboat mun was fatally garroted aud robbed, a negro woman was mortally stabbed by another, two men were drowned, a painter fell from a platform and wus killed, a dray? man was run over by his own team, a burglar was fatally stabbeel while trying tt> enter a dwelling, und a random pistol shot circulated among several gentlemen ou a public street. NOBLE BENEFICENCE.-Ou Washing? ton's birth-day, Mr. Peter Cooper, of New York, entered bia eightieth year. Tho venerable octogenarian celebrated it by sending a cheek for $100,000 to the trustees of tho Cooper Institute, so tbat they might establish a lending library for working men. He further provides that au additional $50,000, shall be ready wliuoever it is needed to make moro complete the good work. MUNICIPAL- ELECTION.-An election was held ou Saturday last, for three Wardens of our town; ono iu place of li. G. Stone, deceased, and two addi? tional ones ns provided by our now Charter. Tho following gentlemen were elected: Charles Thomson, Benja? min Welford and C. E. Fleming. [?parlanburg Spartan. Among tho i'renell corpses found on tho field lifter tho last terrible sortie from Paris, were many of the National Guard, elegantly uniformed in lino cloth, with gold watches, rings, ko., delicate linen, and bauds and complexion that denoted tho gentler ranks of life.

[Charleston Courier. Bv a very tight legal squeeze, Mary A. Hugg has been divorced from Oliver Hugg, in Chicago. "LET US HAVE PEAOK."-Daring the early year3 of the war, tko Radicals de O'ared themselves, on every occasion wherein an expression of opinion was possible, in favor of rostering tbo union of the ?States on.7the same footing, en? joyed by them prior to the inauguration of the war of secession, or, in other words, the war was to end as soon an the South would cease its armed hostility. Tho idea that tito war wiw prosecuted for the purpose of subjugation or reveuge was scouted ut ou ult sides, and Congress even went to thu trouble of making a flat denial of this proposition in a reso? lution which received id most tho unani? mous approval of both Hie Senate and tho House of Representatives. No, tho war was to bo couducted on purely con? stitutional grounds, the rights of tho States were declared to bo apart from tho rebellion of a faction of thu popula? tion. Secession was declared a political heresy, und the ordinances passed, with? out any effect whatever. The Demo? cracy of the North sustained the propo? sition that the States were still in tho Union, and un this priuciplo thoy stood and fought aud won tho battles of the war. As soon, however, as armed hostility ceased, the Radicals declared that seces? sion was notan idea oui)", that it was possible for States to withdraw from the Federal Union, aud not ouly that, but that curtain States had actually severed their couuection with the General Go vernmeut, and were not ouly ont of tho Union in fact but iu law. When the Democrats reminded them of their for? mer averments, they retorted by asking: I Would you have those who have been engaged iu rebellion against the Govern? ment go scot fret:? "lint the principle," I Democracy cried out. "Don't amount I to anything," was the answer; "weare going to punish the South; wo now de ! claro that the Southern States have been out of the Union, und in oidor to insure tho success of our party fur ali time to j come wo are going to reconstruct tho States after a lashioil of our own." Thou followed a host of unconstitu? tional enactments; of robbery, of Se? questration, and of disfranchisement, all clothed with the characteristic appella? tion o? reconstruction in the interest of loyalty. Ry virtue of these nets, aud those of secession, Virginia was deuied representation in Congress and tho en? joyment of all her former rights for eight years aud eight mouths; North Carolina, for seven years and two mouths; Mississippi, for niue years, one mouth und fourtoeu days; Texas, for niue years, and Georgia for ten years and twenty five days. The war only lasted four years aud a few mouths, therefore thc States named suffered, on au aver? age, four years of exile for thu offence of si cession. In view of this fact, the demand for additional reconstruction, for moro Con? gressional iuterferenco, is little less than barbarous aud is sullicieut to bring tho blush of shame to any party, the despe? rate fortunes of which makes such de? mands uecessarry. Thc South has suf? fered enough for its error; tho time for peace and reconciliation hus surely ar? rived, aud we hope the smelling commit? tee at Washington will disband at ouce, and tho country bo allowed a little respite from domestic broils andsectioual strife. [Pillsbury Pupcr. .- - - . Tar: NEW BAYONET ELECTION A cr. - The new bili, which has now passed both houses of Congress, called the enforce? ment Act, aud which is designed to ex? ceed in effectiveness as a piece of elec? tion machinery that of thu last session, will, it is to bo presumed, become law by tho favor of tho President. We have heretofore given a pretty full and accu? rate exhibit of its astonishing provisious, under which penalties of liuo and im? prisonment aro imposed regarding the registration of voters, which is virtually to be taken possession of by tho Federal officials, and also the conduct of the elections-tho operation of the Act tobe no longer limited to cities aud towus of 20,L0U inhabitants, if two citizens usk for its application in places of lesser noto. For any supposed interference or non-submission of State to Federal officers in these matters, primarily un? dertaken by the State ilstdf, parties uro subject to bo arrested without warrant by the Uuited States Mardbal or his deputies, und provision is mudo for tho trausfer of auy snit brought hy au ag? grieved citizen against a Federal officer from a State Coiiit to a United Siutes Circuit Court, and to render the judg? ment of a State Court in such u case null and void. If this is not degruding and debusing the Slates wutitouly and malignantly, it is difficult to couc.-ivo what it is. The Act of tho last session, if wo mistake not, rc-aeted injuriously upon the domi? nant political party iu the country which passed it, ostensibly for tho purpose of securing tho purity of elections. It wus for certain localities only, at that time New York city, more especially, it was saul-but now it seems corruption is everywhere. It has grown BO rapidly that thu law must be .-o framed us to bo brought to bear at will in all quarters, and be made more stringent aud un paring than before. It is difficult lo believe that it will not, instead of pro? moting the purty ends of those who passed it, bring indignant robnko to? wards them from among tho people. lu this Stato the Republicans reaped only evil and loss from the lawas it stood ut thu last election, und it cun do them no good, it is believed, within the borders ! of Maryland hereafter.-Baltimore Sun.
