The Future ot Political Parties,?On
True Policy.
"Washington correspondents tell us
mud public journalists at home e'ndorsi
the remark, that the Republican par
ty, is rapidly disintegrating, and >vil
oou go to pieces. They tell ua tlia
negro agitation furnished the life o
the party, and that without it, It be
conies a caput mortuum?a defunct or
ganixation. They tell us that ever
thing being conceded to the negro
"liberty, equality and fraternity"?
civil aud political rights in largos
measure?the right to vote, anil th
right to 'hold ollice?"Othello's occii
pation is gone,"?the mission of lie
pubiicanism is ondod,? the politica
map is to he readjusted, and a nev
lino of political departuro is to hi
takon.
But hopo tells here as elsewhere, "t
ilattoring tale," which the calm lesson:
of experience will scarcely justify
The uegro was only a means to a em
wo think, in tho history of Republi
canism?a means which to make ef
fective, the party scrupled not to vio
late overy Bound rulo of constitution
iu construction, ana overtnrow ever}
opposing barrier of constitutions
limitation. The negro has been uiad<
u valuablo auxilliary, and when wil
ho ceaso to be such ? His oppression!
woro oneo tho rallying cry of the party
and ho is now in a condition to rendei
etill moro substantial aid ; to furnisl
tho munitions of war,?men anc
money. Negro Agitation -was only s
means to an end; and that end "the
eohesivo power of the public plunder.'
Is it to be supposed that a great po
litical party will go to pieces because
it has accomplished its work?that c
party which has foisted .Reconstruction
and negro sufi'rago upon the
South, in order that it might control
the Government, vill now abandon
its position, for lack of employment"i
?not for lack of ability to do, bul
for want of an end to accomplish'
xnat, ena, ib not yet iultillod?thai
goal is not yot rcached.
The lines between Democracy and
Republicanism aro as distinctively
drawn?the issuus as vital and con
trolling ae ever. Tho ono is etill as
cv-er, tho party of strict construction,
and state rights?the other of cen
traliaation and "the higher law." At
tho Republican party with regard tc
the South, has been ready to "canif
outside of tho Constitution," wt
may be sure that it will ncrnple at nc
means to effect its ends. Tho omnip
otence of Congress is the favorite
dogma which ministers so well to iu
purposes. Congress is made to swallow
up tho chiof prerogatives of th<
Executive and tho Judiciary?and
this too in the name of popular rights
?in violation of the fundamental law
?tho tfuo vex populi. Tho contest
between Democracy and Republican
Ism is ft contoet botwoon constitution
111 liberty and its opposite? centrali
Ration?despotism. Here is the iasu(
distinctly marked, and botween whicl
the true eons of tho South cannot
hesitate long in choosing.
But is ituecessary to choose? Whor
? many questions of Stato policy?
of paramount importanco nearer home
claim our ^attention, may wo not "fo?
the nonce" lay asido party noniCB and
party organization?, and unito botli
XtoDublicans and Demnnrnfn r>ti o
broad common platform. If the I?e
publicans are willing to ignore theii
party, and go into Convention with tie
for the purpose of nominating Candida'es
for office; if they are willing
to break up their "Union leagues,"
and call off their "dogs of war," then
it will be time enough for us to consider
the propriety of a "third pdvty"
or Mno party" movement. The Char
leeton News thinks the term "a third
party" a misnomer. There is little
significance in names, yet it soems to
11s that it is rightly named, or the
thing itself is a myth. At any rate,
and in any event, if we are to have
an tone, and to fight a battle, we prefer
to fight in the same phalanx?undvr
Ifeeietd' banner, and with the same
battle cry fltlftt Wo are Democrat*
or nothing. : rTo
nm op whit w* have tfaid in a
word?A battle of parties is being
waged, as it over has been waged, beyond
our Stato limits, in whioh though
ws feel a deep interest, we can tender
perhaps nothing more substantial at
present than our sympathy. , We at#
willing to accept a truce until ire can.
adjust matters near and dear unto us
at home. If we can agree upon a
" truce, it is well. Then le't there be
psaefs. If wa fight, let ns fight a*
X>e?Ocrats."Uponthis ground we are
one with the Columbia Fhcmir.

wa had a heavy fall of snow. Wednesday

Removal of Political Dibabi:
ites.?The Reconstruction Com mi
teo have at last agreed upon a bill fc
removing all political disabilities ac
cruiug under tho third section of th
Fourteenth Amendment, "except a
to persons who have hold Com mi:
: sions in the army and navy of th
i United States, or have been men
r bora of Congross." For obtainin
tho bcnofitBof its provisions, it direc

incuts are found to bo true, after di
nubliention nn<l inv?o?!<roi ;/ >.? > /">? :
t ?? ... ? n vt? vi
L' cato shall be granted by the presidir
Judge, which shall restore to fl
rights of citizenship. Mr. Farnsworl
? of Illinois, will tnovo as a substitute
B simple bill removing at once all p
litical disabilities. This would I
magnanimous. Too much so v
1 think for the present Congress.
" Sales op Cadetsiiips.? Thei
seems to be considerable excitemei
in Congress growing out of charg
of the alleged sale of West Point cadc

body. Amongtho.se implicated is B.

I to be some evidence against J ud>
Iloge, tho Congressman, who w
elected by a majority of several thou

against Whitlcmoro is such, that t!

resolution for his expulsion. T1

Columbia, February 17.
Lnst night tho correspondent oi
the iVews bud a ehaneo conversation
with Governor Scott, Superintendent
Stolbrand and Joseph Crews, during
which many things were snid conuorn
ing tno action ot the republican part}
at tho next election. As the convor
sution was privato, tho corrcspondcn
asked the Governor if he 'would oh
ject to a certain portion of his re
marks being published in the Neici
to which ho replied that it was hi
desire that what lie said should b<
published, aud ho would bo grntiliet
if it were mentioued in tho next let
ter from Columbia. That portion o
the conversation referred to is sub
joined.
The Governor was asked if then
was any truth in the report that Stat
'arms were being distributed through
out tho countries. JJo replied tha
arms had been sent to only one o
two places?York Cgunty was men
tioned as one?where the "Ku-Klux

them and destroying their properly.
To tho question whether arm
would bo generally distributed previ
ous to the time of holding the genoi
al eleetiou next fall, ho replied tlia
the Legislature had passed an act pre
viding fur tho organization of the mili
tia of tho State; and as it was his dti
ty to carry out tho provisions of tli
act, he intended to see tl^em cxecutoi
as quickly as possible. He wished t
see the militia organized under mei
who could bo trusted to preserve 01
dor in their districts at any and at al
times, whether tho disturbers of poaci

! desired to see all classes in the mali
! tia, and it mado uo difference to bin
I whethor a Confederate or Fedcra
I commanded thorn j in fact, it novc
oceured to him to ask such a question
all ho wished to know was, "would h
obey and executo the laws." Th>
Governor mentioned one or two Con
federate officers whom ho had eilbc
entrusted or intended entrusting witl
militia commands.
In response to tho interrogatory
Would not, the arming of tho militii
and their presence at tho election
tend to provoke a disturbance an<
cause bloodshed ? ho answered tha
he thought not; that the knowlodg
that thcro was a fore? adequate t
check all disturbances would deto
tho evil-miuded men in any commu
nity from commencing or instigatinj
a disturbance. "But now let mo te!
fyou, sir." said ho, "you ma;
rest af?6ured that after tho next elct
tion the Republican party will neve
go before Congress stating that it
voters were intimidated or prevents
from voting by Democrats, Ku-Klu:
or any organization 'whatever. Th
Republicans want to have peace aDi
order during the next election, and i
possible they will have it. If th
Democrats can whip us-fairly wo wil
submit"; but wo will not be di-iven fron
tho State, as some propose. "We fror
the North have come hero to stay
and indend to do so. If these Dem
ocrats choose to practice their ol<
tricks of murder and intimidation
tho result will bo terrible to them am
to the State."

Equitable Assurance Society I feel it
J. ?
uy uiuy 10 cori-ect the impression
ivliieli is likely to bo produced by
.liese figures, and in doing bo I would
itate that the figures which I make
iso of are to be found in tho 10th Anmal
Report of tho Superintendent ol
insurance, State of New York. 1
ivill simply make a stateincnt.of facts,
giving Doctor Branch's figures, as
mblished in the I'ress anil Manner,
)t 18ih inst., merely for the sako ol
comparison.
Doctor Branch says the Equitable
ssucd in 1808, 2,873 Policies, insuring
o the amount of S8,5o8,050.
Tho Superintendent of Insurance
>tales that tho Equitable issued in
I8ii8, ll,9S(i insuring to the amount
>f 31,893,313
It is needless to say there is a slight
iifferencc in the two statements.
A?jain he says, the Piedmont and
Arlington issued in 18G8, 5395 policies
insuring to the amount of $1S 942.3G7,
ivhon it is an evident fact that there
was no such Company as Piedmont
\ud Arlington until the latter part of
Lho year 18G9, up to that timo thoy
svercjtwo separate and distiuct companies.
According to the Superintendent's
rcpor' he Piedmont had 2281 policies
n force on the 31st of December 18G8.
Tho Arlington 1G97, tho whole numjer
of Policies of tho two companies,
jcing at that timo 3978. Hero too
s a very slight discrepancy.
Doctor Branch is correct in his
itatomcnt of losses by dea'h in the
Equitable Society?150, but certainly
Lhis number is not 19 per cent, of
11,986, in fact it ia less than two per
jent.
I rogrct tho necessity of correcting]
me statements maue by the A^ent of
the Piedmont and Arlington Company,
in reference to tho Equitable, and my
motive in doing bo is simply to vindi3ato
a Company, whose reputation for
reliability is too well established to
be impaired in tho slightest degree by
such statements as Doctor Branch
has given to the public.
