A proposition has been made by a liill now pending its passage through Congress to deal with the Negro race after the same manner which lid the progressive whites of the troublesome Jndians. It was well enough in 1808 Mien the colored man promised to bo o power in the hands of the lie publican parly, to saddle him with all the rights and privileges of a citizen. His ignorance was never once consul -ered a fruitful source of political cor luplion,or his inexperience a clog in flic wheels of government, nor cveu his vicious habits e. hindrance to civ ilization, while the possessor of these unfortunate qualifications was a will ing tool in a cunning master's hands. There was no dream of curtailing his rights or abridging his privileges *hen the unsuspecting colored man. snouted his merriest huzzas ot re joiced over the success of the while carpetbaggers' cunning, as if the -All wise rider of Heaven and earth lind issued a proclamation that the Millennium had come. There was indeed no thought of colonizing the dear colored people in the far, barren wilds of the West, so long as they were willing to remain the dupes ol political trickery or the willing vic tims of Radical greed. How vain to think no change would come. To-day, the kingly- em blems of nuthoritj' and power are passing away, and the once domi nant party sees rum in the near fu ture. The crown rests not easily upon the brow of the Republican monarch ; tho gilded wand has lost its magical influence in the hand of Radical leaders, and the dear colored ?people, who blessed the carpet-bag ger yesterday as a protector, curses him to-day as a national robber. The experience of fourteen years of freedom and eight of Radical ride have shown the negro to be an optcr schol ar than the world imagined?a man of 'bought and a fair amount of pol it ical sagacity who bids- fair to use the ballot with some degiee of discretion. The reformation at the South, he gun in Georgia and consummated in South Carolina and Louisiana at the last election, proves that a change has come over the colored people, that they prefer honesty to dishones ty, and that they will elect native ?Citizens for ollicc rather than import ed political ail venturers. The cry ol Union and Liberty, slavery ami the .lash, forty acres and a mule, nor tin hypocritical cant of the politico gos pel preachers, can never successfully stem the tide which is certainly drill ing the colored race into the Demo cratic party. This section of our great nation is destined to be con trolled by the intelligence of tin Southern white man and the political power of the Southern negro?I he Liberia Exodus and Western Colour 2ation scheme to the contrary not withstanding. A judicious use of the advantage ground, which the Demo cratic party now occupies, will enable the Sonth to perpetuate her control over the States by uniting her citizens upon such a community of interest as will baflle every effort to separate them. ?? ? ? ? m ??? Columbia Water Power. Tho Columbia Canal, which for the last few years has attracted the at tention of our people and many of other sections, has again been exam ined with a view of ascertaining what is possible to be done in the way of developing this interest of the Stale and utilizing the immense power so long running to waste. Mr. 1). M. Thompson, a mill engineer from Providence, R. I., is now at tho capi tal foT the above purpose, and his In vestigations have been most satisfac tory and encouraging. The success ful establishment of cotton mills here will not only be of direct and and im mediate ndvnntrgo to (he city of Co ?rnnbia, but would attract tho at ten lion of capitalists to Hie vast amount of water power thoughout our State, ibid bring to us a class of people whom we arc anxious to welcome in our midst?a class that will have something olse to Ihink of besides polities and cilice seeking. Hereto fore we have been cursed with the -cum of creation?the poison of every liscascd society, ill tho shape of po ?ilieal adventurers, pulpit hypocrites, Radical teachers and United Slates olllco holders who haled tllo Sou'.h and her pec pie wilh all the vim their venomous hearts'couhl muster. Such men have poisoned our society, have divided our citizens, ?snve excited race hatred, and have engendered sectional strife. Such men, conic from where they may, wc never want ed among us and never will. Hut the hospitality of every South Caroli na home and the welcome of every South Carolina heart arc extended? cordially extended lo ovev? man who comes among us to dcvelopc our re sources, to advance the prosperity of the State, to aid in reconciling the difference between our people, and to J build up our material prosperity by advancing his own interest. Such'a class wc need and will welcome, and I it is to be hoped Unit the report of Mr. Thompson will go far toward in ducing this most desirable class of immigrants to our Slate. Wc have natural resources abundant to ctnp'.oy the talent and consume the industiy 'of thousands of good people but not an inch of land for political Radical vipers. Sandy Keitts's Testimony. We, as Democrats, arc not asham ed of the truth "let it come from what quarter it may, nor are we disposed to dodge the issues to which the cir cumstances of the last election gave prominence in the eyes of the world ; but we do object to our cause being brought lo judgment upon the evi dence ol such a man as the one whose name heads this article. The records of our courts show that Sandy Keilt was arrested^ for murder and turned Slate's evidence only to save bin self a certain conviction of the crime. Public opinion charges him with col lecting money under false pretences, on account of which he is now ab senting himself from this communi ty. The general character, tho man bears in the neighborhood's any thing but that of an honest and uiri^h" citizen, lo say nothing of his bulldoz ing behavior on the day of election, and his riotous conduct upon several subsequent oceasione. When such a 1 man dares to get upon the stand and swear that he saw "Mr. Tom Alber gotti picking up Democratic tickets from the table and shilling them into the box" it is time to nail the lie to the counter, and to brand its author wilh perjury, a crime no one ever committed more unblushingly than this trad nccr of the good name of a worthy citizen. When such a man, instigated doubtless by a higher in telligence than his own and for po litical purposes, asserts that he is afraid to come back to Orangeburg "because men like Mike Salley and others were just low enough to kill hiX," il is time such mean spite and contemptible hatred be rebuked ; and the power, that uses an ignorant and worthless negro as a tool to perpetu ate race hatred in the breast of our colored Citizen?, be made to know that such conduct will not longer he federated. Indeed the entire testi mony of this witness before the Tell er Committee is nothing but a tissue of falsehoods from beginning to end.] There arc two sides to every otics ? ion, .is the Teller Committee learned from its recent investigation of the South Carolina election case. There are also I wo :<:des to tho Teller Com mittee as v* e will learn when the vote stands fl to 2 as stubbornly as the famous {doctoral Committee of 8 to 7. A Model Farmor. Mr. John G. ?rnzedl, who farms about twelve miles below Columbia, in Riehlnnd county, has set an exam ple lo all who arc in the habit of thinking that fanning does not pay. Last year he inn three plows, tend" ing about eighty.five acres, and he made sullicient provision to keep his family a year and a considerable quantity to sell, both of grain and bn-| |COn. His farm yielded him ten bales of cotton, about 700 bushels of corn and peas, und any quantity of rough food lor stock, such as fodder, pen vines, &c, besides n good many chu fas, not measured ; nlso, about 1/iO bushels of potatoes. His wife raised sixly turkeys and a great many chickens, of which latter she sohl S2? or $30 worth. He attributes his suc cess to the fact that ho and his two sons did their own plowing, worked early and late, or, as he expressed it they "were at work when the whip poorwills hollered in the morning and when the whippoorwills hollered in the evening," and, finally, they ab stained from intoxicating liquor.? Co lumbia li gislcr. Shooting at a riailroadi Conductor. Saturday evening, at a station on the Wilmington, Columbia & Angus la Railroad, a negro got on board the train, bound for Florence. When tho conductor, Captain John Gat lord, came around to collect tickets, ho en countered this negro, silling comfort ably in the second class coach. The conductor asked for his ticket, but he could not produce one and refused to to pay any passage money. Captain Gailord, of course, put the negro off the train. As soon as the negro reached the ground he pulled out a pistol and lired three times at the conductor, as the train was moving oil. but neither of Ihe bullets hit its mark. Chptain Gailord took stops to have the rascal arrested.? Wil mington tittn. "Tim .Man oe tiik 12th oe May, 1X0 t."???Gordon's March," by Prof. Henry Sehoeller, of Did ton, Gn., and dedicated to Gen.

Tiik Way 11k Got tiik Money.? Alfred Duller, who it will be remem bered trotted olf to Charleston at the bidding of Maekey, that he might contribute his mite of testimony against the respectable people of this county, it is thought raised the "wind" in a peculiar way. His wife, only a few days before the reception of the telegram, had got her knee broken by the kick of a horse, which of course) disabled her from work, and since then has been in bed. Alfred being out ol money, went to many of our citizens ami appealed for the loan of money with which to buy provisions for his sick wife. Out of sympathy some loaned him a dollar, other fifty j cents, and so on, promising each one that he would pay him next week. Alfred has been in (harleston for mow than a woek.

As a brother his tender care and love was ever and anon finding expression in deeds ami words, the memory ol which will be em balmed in the tears of his brother and sisters. As a man und neighbor hin character was not in the least less resplendent, by his courteous demeanor and honora ble dealing he made many linn friends, ami left them an example "by the which he being dead yet ppeaketh."
