pains nn<l penalties, in anticipation
of some imagined violation of the
law, when on the contrary there lias
[ been no threat of resistance on the
part of any State, anil tho colored
rare have been already exercising the
[ right of Hullrago without any ground
| of complaint,?and 2d, that there is
not a?singlo crime or oti'enee provided
for Jiy this Act, that ought to be
, in it, which is not more effectually
! provided for iu the laws of the sever
' :d States.
lie examines tho Act. scctiop bisection,
and shows that they are cither
unnecessary?vague and unmeaning
?or entirely repugnant to the recognized
principles of English liberty.
The first section is identical with
tho provision of the Fifteenth
Amendment, and is lionco nugatory
and inofficious. A re-cnaclmcnt by
Congress can give it no additional eftlcaoy.
It is in these words:
"That all citizens of the United
States who are orshall bo otherwise
qualified by law to voto at. any election
by the people in any State, Tor- <
ritory, district, county, city, parish,
towuship, school district, municipality,
or other territorial subdivison,
shall bo entitled and allowed to voto
at all such elections, without distinction
of raee, color, or previous condi
tion of servitude, any law-, custom,
usage, or regulation of any State or
I Territory, or by or under its authority.
to the contrary uotwiflistanding."
The second Beetion is as follows:
> Sec. 2. Ami be it further . cnaclcd,
; That if by or under the authority of
[ (he constitution or laws ot .:ny State
? or the laws of any Territory, any act
> is or shall bo required.to t>o dono as a
I" pre-roqnisito or qualification for voti
ing. and by such constitution or laws
. persons are or shall bo chargcd wiih
the lierformnnco of flutios in fnmiali.
ing to citizens nn opportunity to per1
form sinih pro-requisite, or to bccomc
qualified to vote, it shall be tho duly
of ov?ry such person and officer to
' givo to all citizens of the' T'nitcd
' Statos tho same and equal opportuni"
ty to perform sueh pre-requisite or to
bccome qualified to vole, without dis(
tinetion of race, color, or previous
( condition of servitude; and if -any
4 such person or officer shall refiiso or
Ifiion'ino'h' nmif. to rrivn full nftiwf (n
3 r?v r?* f " ""VNW 4'
% IhiH section, ho smill for every Biich
, oftcueo forfeit and pay tlio Bum of
$500 l-o tho person aggrieved Iherebj'
to bo recovered by an action on the
case, with full costs and hucIi allowance
for counsel fees as-the court shall
- also for every snob offence bo deemed
f guilty of a misdemeanor, and shall,
f on conviction thereof, bo fined not
r less than $500, and b? imprisoned not
s loss than ono month and not more
1 than one year."
Now thero aro two objections to
1 this section?1st., that it imposes
hj* Act of Congress duties upon State
1 officers, created by Stato authority,
' and alone amenable to the States, and
j this directly in the faco of a decision
- of the Supreme Conrt of the United
i States?and 2d., that the words, "If
any such person Or officer shall refuse
i qj: knowingly omit to give full effect
- to this scctirrn,". are too vague and
> unmeaning to constitute any distinct
| indictable offence?a true corjms delic>1
The third section provides: *
"That wlionovcr, by or nncfcr'tlie
? authority of the constitution-or laws
of any State, or the laws of any Territory,
ojjy act is-or shall be required
. to bo done by any titizeri as a j>ro-re!
quisite to qualify or entitlo him to

Thin no tho Senator shows witl
great force and sarcasm, is an absnrt
provision, us tho mandamus, is u pro
ceeding entirely unknown and itppro
per in cases of contostcd elections. Ii
is a writ commanding Homebody It
do something, or show tho reasor
wliy not? But in Iheso cases to wlion
will 3*011 direct tlio writ?
Section sixth is us follows.
' That tho district courts of th<
United States, within their rospectivi
districts,. shall have, exclusively 01
the courts of the several States, cog
nizanco ot all crimes and otftmcei
committed against tho provisions o
this act, and also, concurrently with
tho circuit courts of the United
States, of nil causes, civil and crimi
nal, arising under this net, except a!
otherwise provided in tho fillh Bectior
hereof."
These offences are all touch bettei
provided against in tho Stato laws
and much more elfectunlly punished
Section .seven enables any one upor
making affidavit before a U. S. Com
missioner to have the registrar or judg<
of election arrested, and sent porhap!
ono or two hundred mil> ?? for trial?
thus defeating a registry or stopping
an election.
Section eight is as follows : .
"That it shall bo tho duly of al
marshals and deputy marshals t(
obey and ex ecu to all warrants atu
precepts issued under tho provisions
of this act, when to them directed
and should any marshal or deputy
marsh all refuso to receivo such war
runt ur-oiuor process when tendered
or to uho nil proper moans diligontl}
to execute the sumo, ho shall, on con
viction thereof, bo fined in the sum o
one thousand dollars, to the use o
Iho person deprived of tho right con
ferred by this act."
llero again wo have an accumu
lation 6f pains and penalties, instcac
of leaving tho aggrieved voter to hi!
common law remediesSection
nine is another of pains anc
penalties. Section ten provides:
"That tho commissionerf*, distric
attorneys, tho marshals, their depu
tics, and tho clerics of tho said distric
circuit and territorial courts shall In
paid for their services the lilce fee:
as maj* he allowed to them for simila:
services in ot her eases. Tho person 'o
persons authorized to execute tho pro
cess to bo issued bv sneh
era for tho arrest of offenders agains
tho provisions of this net shall bo eh
tilled to a fee of ten dollars for end
person ho or the}' may' arrest am
tako before any such commissioner a
aforesaid, with such other fees as m:r
be deemed reasonable by tho com mis
sioncr for such other additional scrvi
cos as mny be neeessnrily performoi
by him or them, such as attending a
tho examination, keeping the prisone
in custody, and providing him wit!
food and lodging during his detention
and until tho final determination o
such commissioner, and in general fo:
performing such other duties as ma;
he required in tho premises, such fee:
to bo made up in Conformity, wit!
tho foe^usually charged by the ofll
cors of tho courts of justico withii
the proper district or county, as nea
as may do practicable, and paid ou
of- the Trcsury of tho United State
on tho certificate of the judge of th
|district within which the arrest i
made, apd to bo reeoverablo from th
defendant, as part of the judgment ii
case of conviction."
Here again aro enormous fees fo
very littlo work?a bribo to stimulat
the'commcnconient of theso prosccu
tions.
Section eleven is as follows:
"Sec. 1t. A nil be it further enacted
That whenever tho PVesidont of th'
United States shall have reason t<
beliove that offenses have been"or an
lilcelj- to be committed against th'
provisions of this act within any ju

uiva?i uiotnvi) lb nilUll UtJ IUWIU1 1U
him, id his discretion, to direct th<
judge, marshal, and district attorno^
of such'timo as may designate for th<
purpose of tho moro speedy arres
and trial of persons charged with j
violation of this act; and it shall b<
tho duty of ovcry judge or other of
fleer, -when such requisition shall b<
received by him, to attend at th<
place and for tho time therein dosig
nated."
This seems to constitute a sort o
aujaregia?a justiciary.court, like tha
which uso to traverse Old England
and lilce that ought, to bo provider
for at tho publid ofcpcnse.
Section twelve is in theso words:
"Rw! 19 Ami A* Si 17, #*

Tho .ludgo neyor comes without
. nuilting u speech, und ii Iiua boon out*
good Hu'tuno to havo hoard most, If
i not till of thorn?nt least portions of
I nil of them. Wo shall not say that
wo havo been very nvuch edified?
- perhaps that was not tho fault of
L the speaker?but. t>lilI wo liavo receiv>
od much food for reflection. The
1 Judge is u little too tartaric and i i
cetic to enable a political opponent to
fcnjny his "feast of reason and flow of
soul,"-but tlmt is a matter of taste,
3 uhout which wo shall not dispute.
3 The spcech on S:\turday night was
' delivored in tho Court House. We
~ woro not in tho building, tut as the
f windows were up, and the speaker has
i a-good voice, we could hear from our
I adjoining ollico, as much as wo pleased.
Ilad wo been present wo might
' havo been tempted to follow tho example
and share the l'ato of somo of
r our friends, who attempting to escape
some unpalatablo remarks, were
greeted with?''There iro tho cownrds
, that run at tho first fire." Who is
. this that talks of running,-running?
j XV<2 shall not attempt a synopsis of
5 tho speech, but advert merely to one
. or two points.
r A largo portion of tho speech Was
devoted to tho defence of Governor
Scott, Judgo Jloge, and other prom|
inont members of tho party qgainst
) tho chargo of "carpet-bagism," in the
' odious senso of tho term. If they
* had carpot-baffs, they brought come
' thing in tlicm, said tho speaker, and
- could give as well as take. Admit,
? that there is something in tho plea,
yet who supposes that Governor]
j. Scott, or the honorablo member himf
self could ever havo obtained their
- present positions in an open field and
fair fight eithor at homo or anywhere
" else. IThey owo their success to
' means, which certainly do not justify
4 an extravagant eulogy of thoir abili
tics or moral endowments.
' But. Judge Carpenter, tho probable
nominee of the "Citizens' Party" is also
t a carpet-bagger, with this difference,
* that ho leads tho hungry "outs," who
* are hungering for tho "flesh pots,"
3 whilst tho self-satisfied "ins" havo alr
ready appeased their hunger. The
i* speaker told his audionco to emulate
* tho wisdom of the fox in tho fable.
^ and notdriveoff ono swarm of flies, lest
. a more hungry swarm should dovour
1 them. Is not this refreshingly cool ?
1 It is certainly very candid. We have
S A l?i I
u^iuii j dui nuusiuuco?wu aavc
[_ fattened upon your life-blood, but an.
other set even more greedy is ready
i to take our places. "Better .bear the
t ills 3'ou have than fty to olhors 3*011
1 know not of.-' Is this tho argument?
Then our condition is bad indeed,
f Wo aro afraid that wo are inflicted
r not nith flics, but with "the daughters
V of tho liorse-leach, whoso ciy is,
J 'givo,' 'give.' "
j_ But tho Honorable gentleman's
n speech was brimful of sympathy for
r the colored race. IIo had showed his
...
" mini oy nis works?no hact appointed
? a eolored cadot at West Point'?be
s had recommended a eolored Collector
e of U. S. Revenue in tbo Third Con11
gres6ional District, &q., &c. Yet what
does all this prove? Only that Judge
r Iloge is a shrewd electionceror?that
c he knows how to manufacture politii
cal capital, and t<? make uso of it in
political speeches.
In conclusion, the speaker, told his
r} audience, that though a candidate for
o the Congressional nomination, like a
0 good party man, ho was ready to ac3
quiesce in the -judgment of his poors,
and sacrifice personal predilections to
r the good of Republicanism. In tlio
9 announcement of which wholesome
7 doctrine he was fully ondorsod, as lie
? was repeatedly cheered, during *thO
^ ueuvory 01 nis spcecn.

Death of William Gilmore Simras.
Klsewhero wo announce tho death
of Charles Dickons, on Thursday, 8th, '
and now of William Gilmoro Simms, <
on tho Saturday following?with an <
ocoan intervening, yet kindred spirits, <
and within a. few days of oach other ? .
in tho broad fields of literature, fel <
low laborers?tho samo earnest work
Ors, finding their best reward in the
love and admiration which followed
them when livintr. and in tho tears. <
which beilow their tombs. Simms 1
died in Charleston, tlio city of his 1
birth in tho sixt}'-fourth year of-his '
^go. Poet, novelist, historian, critic, 1
ho was essentially self-niado, and roso
by the foreo of his own high endowments,
and noblo self relianco, over
tho disadvantages of a want . of i
wealth, family connection; and early
education, to fumo and position. A
South Carolinian in ovory impulse of i
his nature, every ligament, of <
his being, it was tho glory of his life 1
to illustrato her annals and cnoble her
fame. . Ilis works will constitute her
moBt chorisbed treasure, and most
impoj-ishable monument.
"\Vc have had the pleasuro o
heaving from our fellow-townsman

Ing account of. the overflowing hospitality
which ho received, the pleasant
friends that ho mot, the ablo ser
raons that he heard, and of the very i
interesting proceedings of the assein- <
bly. In the debates of tho body, wo
seo that our friond took a prominent |
part, and discussed with learned di- (
vines, theological dogmas, and qucs- i
tions of church polity. Dr. Palmer,
