We have no toleration lor intolerance in
politics or religion. We hold it as ahornin
able and wholly unjustifiable to molest or
<ii?torl> ?>?y man or se'. of men lor a mere
difference of opinion In cfther. We have
shown tliis spirit Inf..re ths war, during
the war, and since the war. Wa liava always
taken shies against all v'.o enee, and
sinee ti e war especially have retrained
fiom all personalities. We venture to aey
that no journal in the United States lias
hern more modeiate and Iras personal in
eenaorrs of polities! opponents, not baeause
they may not bare deserved other treat
merit, but our object has been peace. We
liava denounced bad measures, and a<lvo
rated such as we thought right; but we do
not feel that it Is wrong to donnunee public
robberies by officials, whether they b
loyal ** Kadirals or anything; else. We
have always protested against unlaw'
ful violence, and we have the eatiafaction
of eeeing the County in whirh we live, and
seetiona adjacent, and in which our journal
is moat circulated, the trust quiet of any
part of the United States. We would not
permit any citizen, if in our power to prevent
it, to lie in any manner aesaulted or
disturbed because he ehooscs t > be a He
publican. We are happy to believe that
stieh is the predominant leeling among us.
In Greenville, the appointees of Governoi
ScotT, and tome si them very avowed Republicans,
wa think, lisve in en treated well
always by the community ; even the colored
magistrate is very kindly regarded, and
there is no hostility to him he deserving
the character of an honest man. We wish
Green villa to continue Jibe same quiet and
orderly County she has ever been since the
war. and that Iter spit it may pervade the
whole Rats. Wa shall mmag* to stop the
plundering high tsses. and we are satisfied
that th* tax officers from the Governor and
State Auditor down will come to aid us;
in so doing, there it yet hope.
Paris in s stats of Revolution.
No sooner had lbs Germans left Paris, than
the leaders of the Red Republican part/ began
to stir sp horrible mischief. The mob has
taken pessessipn of the city to a great extent,
and some of the forts, and hare bad a mock
trial of some of the French generals, and pat
them to death ; three or foar bare been so
murdered. They bare fired on masses of the
e it liens, and many of all ages and sexes bare
been slain. Tsibrs and the French Assembly
are at Versailles.he has frequently issued pros*
tarnations to quiet the disturbers, and has
called for troops from 'be country to quell
them. The National Guards hare, in some quar
ters of Paris, fraternised with the nob. I.ouia
Nai?olkon is in Kngland. It is not improbable
be will be finally recalled. In the meantime,
Bismarck gives notice that unless the
treaty is fairly carried out, be will hare the
German troops marched bask to Paris. The
world is getting oonvioeed that the French are j
not capable ot self government.
