' DISCONTENT. Alarming disturbances of the peac< * 1 -- - - -i: rr * have taKen piace m umenui puit "pf the State. These disturbances ar< inconsistent with a "well ordered gov prnment, and at war with the pro* perity of the community. They indi cate a downward tendency to chao and ruin. "We do not now stop t enquire into the # causes of thes breaches of the peaoe, or who i responsible for them, about wliic] there iB doubtless difference of opinion Wo only see and appreciate tiie dan ger, rendered more imminent an< scrifcus by the want of homogeniet^ * 1 fi a 1 m our ooay. pouuu wuoiauuj, ?? . rioes, of two distinct races?white am ]black. We do not deny that there an causes for discontent: the grievance; are many and -great. The role o ignoranco and the exclusion of intel ligence, high taxes and short incomes corruption and profligacy in official? ?those and many more, all aggra Vated by the antipathies of. race, are upon us. But wo wish to say emphatically, that, in our judgment, vio *? nn remfdu at all for QHV 0) swtltp ? "V ?? -J T-> ? r ffose grievances. Violence can do nc good, and will produce mischief, and mischief only, It is the only pabulurr which can keep in office those whc are the authors [of what we com plain. It will strengthen our enemies and weaken our friends by changing the issue from their enormities tc these disturbances. It brings bac men to the surfaco, and enables- out laws to rule. It disturbs industrj and endangers property. In timei of quiet, good men of all parties exeri their influence, *nd in times of vio Jence ignorant, wicked bleckguardi rule, "Wo hold that is not only tho duty bat tho highest interest of everj man to keep tho pe&co and assist ir making others do it. Peace, time and reason must be relied on as the besl cures for all grievances. We earnest' )y invoke all, without regard tc party, to obey the laws and abstain from violeuce. Doliverance most come, but it cannot come from violence, but from peaco, perseverance .aod the heroism ot lorDearance i Butler's Ku-Elux BilL We are glad to see that this atrocious bill has, through the combined strength of Republicans, as well as Democrats, been effectually baried for the present term of Congress, at least, by a reference to the Committee xm the Judiciary in the House Fifty-eight Republicans had the manliness to opposo the bill, which, under the pretext of suppressing rebel outrages at the South, proposes to enslave the white raco here, and to place their lives and their prop erty at the mercy of the black race Ana their conteaeratea. so oaiouj are the provisions of the hill, thai tho New York Evening Post, one o the ablest as well as most modcrat< of the Republican journals, regard it as exceeding in atrocity tho blood} code of Draco, and counsels resist unco to it, should it become a law, a; .one of the first duties of tbe citizen ''"Were it attempted," gays th< Evening Post, ''in New York or Mas firmtr flnH nor tt n 9>nViiUCVVW^ VMV M4 J MMV? MM J V t&e Unitod States could not enforce such a bill for an hoar. Tho law abiding mind and conscience of ovor; free citizen would sustain tho Const: tution and principles of free govern roent against tho usurpation ; and thi new rebellion against the Unior though expressed in an Act of Cor gress and Fustained by an administra tion at Washington, would be pu down as resolutely as the last." Speaking of the mis-called Ku KIux bill of Gen. Butler, it says: "A long list of offences against Ih United States is created by the bil classed as misdemeanors, high misdc mcanor8, felonies, and capital felonies thus to be found on the public high way, or near a house, even 'unarmed and 'alone/ or 'with others,' witl intent terrify' any persons, 'bo as t hinder thjem from the peaceful en joymont of their legal rights,' is i high misdemeanor in the daj'-timc and a felony at night, and the fac of a disguise or of 'a concert wit! others' for whatever purpose, is mad j>rima fatit evidence of 'the guilt; intent.' A pcddJer found on Christ jmas ere dressed as Jirjss JLringlo oi tho road, is thus made liable to a fio( of not less than $5,000 and imprison raent for not less than fiv.e years. "Why not re-enact thc old Korniai ctirfew law at ouce ? "If any person shall be one of i .Crowd at night, however large, ,anc 'whatever part may have been taker by each,' which shall contain an) person who shall 'threaten to assault any person, each and every membei of the crowd shall be guilty of felony and punishable in the same way J5ut if any momber of the crowd shal commit any act by which a man ii killed or a dwelling house burned then each and every member of i I*? 'UUJLW I I || Ml nw | j , uv shall bo guilty of a capital -felony. ' and 'shall bo hanged by tbo nock until he is dead.'" The fundamental objoction to the bill, independently of its cruel provisions, confounding the distinctions between guilt and innocence, and place iit the lives and property of the many at?the mercy of the few, is that it repeals the Constitution ofthe United .-states, and revolutionizes, the whole system of government. It make.' that crime in eleven States, and pun r ishable by a different tribunal anc with greater severity than would bi i tolerated in the other States. It is i besides, legislating upon a class o ' *ubj 'Cts upon which the' Geuera , Government has no jurisdiction; usurp *' upon the pjirt of Congsc68, th powers of municipal legislation, whicl ^ belong exclusively to the Stales. ' But all of this could be tolerated and the bill, with all of its atrocities would be harmless, if the accuse) could have a fair trial before an im partial jury. But tho citizen is de e prived of that cheri^hcd right whicl k the Constitution designed to bo in violable, by a carefully guarded dc c vice to prevent anybody but nogroe and carpet-baggers from being sum i- moued to serve on juries. A partisai maishal. liable to be turned out o office the moment he displeases th President, is to select, each autumn 0 a sufficient number of Radical name e to supply all the jurymen likely t s be wanted for a year. The name [j of these negroes and carpet-bagger aro to be put into a box frora whicl all actual jurymen aro to be drawn " If the number drawn is exhaustei 3 by challenges before the twelve i completed, the same box of Radicn t names is to' bo again resorted to, am j the most miuute and stringent pre visions aro made to guard againstth' romotest possibility of anyone impar ? tlal man getting upon any jury. I s tho law is not to bo a dead letter, i f it is evor in any case to bo execute! ' 1 At? o/.Koma fn lit aJi, somo sut'ii ovuvluu w " making up juries from which ever impartial man is excluded, was also 5 lutely necessary, Should 6ueh a bill bccomo a law well might the public journals of th country, Republican and Democratic ' counsel armed resistance. <&? Unhappy France.?A worso evi ' has befallen unhappy France thar ' even the iron heel of the Germai 1 invader. The presence of a foreigi ) foe united all classes, and developcc " the highest qualities of heroism anc ' patriotic endurance; but now, tha > tho Germans are gone, the Govern > merit is overawed by a Paris mob ' and Red Republicanism seeks to re enact the horrors of tke great Revo ' lution. The rabble of the street 9 have taken to butchering their bes t men, and waging war upon all legiti - mate authority. Paris, however, i 3 no longer France, and will be mad to yielcj. The people desire peace , and will seek it in any form of gov ' ernment which promises sccurityi even the strong arm of German rul I than bloody anarchy. ???. County Auditor.?Wo learn tha > Mr. T.

The appointmen is a very excellent one, and will b< generally approved by onr people The officc i*8 one of trust and respon 8ibiIit3T, and the proper discharge o its duties affects vitally tho interest! of tho whole community. Mr. Milforc , is a gentleman of business capacity anc integrity, and is highly esteemed hj i all who know him. We feci atsuroc that he will discharge the duties o: , his position with credit to himself anc , satisfaction to our people. Church Music.?The lovers o church music will be gratified to learr ! that the organ of Trinity Church hai | boon repaired, and finder the skillfu touch of Mr. Edward Bacon, tin organist, may bo expected to discours< sweet music henceforth every Sunda} . whenever. t ''The pealing'anthetiS swells the not< of praise." Good music adds so much to th< g interest of religious services, that i . is always duly appreciated. Thi repairs were made by Mr. Baker, tin g well known organ builder of Charles ton, and we trust that now the pipe ^ will keep in tune, like the "harp of i thousand strings," gf which the poe f sings.

Ifr. Beck, of Kentucky, had introduced a general amnesty bill. 8 aud it was on this that Elliott made ; 1 his speech. He is a very dark negro, < i- but evidently the ablest of tho five j s black men in the present House.

T.'.. ??,J . gOOtl Siy 10 upon me xvu jUuJu.y, uuu \ then alleged that they were sustained ( and countcnanced by tho Democratic f t party of the North in general and < 1 Tammany Ilall in particular. Both f Democrats and Republicans gathered ( t around him as he spoke, this being j the first speech by a negro in the 2 Hsusc. At tho closo of his speech he was warmly congratulated by sev- , - oral prominent Republicans. The J f bill was finally defeated, but whether ( on account 01 Jiinon s speecn ih dui r known. ' The following wero tho remarks I of Elliott, us reported in tho Uerr f - aid: I Mr. Elliott, colored, Representative ( r of South Carolina, faid he believed r ho had been regarded as entertaining J ' liberal views on this question, but at t a tiino like this, when he turned his [ eyas to tho South and saw the loyal c f men of that scction suffering at the fc j hands of Ibe veiy class of men whom [ it was now proposed to relieve of ? 3 their political disabilities, he must t 1 now and hero enter his solemn pro? test against this proposition. It was 3 nothing but paying a premium on disloyalty and treason, at the expense of , loyalty. lie was not surprised that the gentleman from Kentucky (Mr. - Beck) should introduce such a bill. He appreciated the feelings of sym- ( nathv which the gentleman entertain- * 5 1 tJ o , ed for those men in tho South who ars low prohibited from holding of3 fke. They were tho gentleman's 2 allies and compatriots. They arc disfranchieed simply because they rushed s into rebellion against the best government under heaven, with the ad1 vico and consent of such as the gent tleni.^n from Kentucky. Ho regretted that the gentleman "from Illinois (Mr. Farnsworth) on Friday took occasion e to compare the condition of the men 1 who aie disfranchised with those who - ni-n nllnvrn.4 tr? linM nffir-rt in lllO i South- He took occasion to draw a i comparison between an old man nnd e his former servuut who held office. ,f and had made an appeal in favor of the former. But why was this so? e Because the old man with vjhom the u gentleman from Illinois sympathised . in his heart joined tlio rebellion, _ whilo the slave was loyal to the gov- ? B crnment. The one despised tho flag, whilo the other loved it. Tho differ- ^ once was. tho poor old man would f only curse tlic government and mal-,' ' treat and murder a loyal man, while the slave was his protector, instead * 1 of the removal of political disabiltios 8 doing good, it would be taken as an cvidenco that this Congress desired Ll to hand over the government to the tender mercies of the disloyal men, h who are responsible for tho murders c e and outrages at the South. By their I ^ denunciation of Congress and abuse 1 of tho President and all connected r L" with tho government, thev aro the c -1 men who commit the deeds. They C y contribute to these deeds by their 0 social influence and with the money I furnished by Tammany Hall to keep e np tho outrages in order to ijisure ' Democratic triumph in the Sduth. lie e e (Elliott) was hero in behalf of the c e loyal men to telj these facts. Tho ( number of arms shipped to the South on every steamer was an evidence c that the disloyal men at the South r aro the instruments for carrying out c designs of their Northern allies. He represented white men as well as men ] of his own complexion. His constitu- 1 r ueney were as loj-al as that of any \ - other man on this floor. That con- ? etituency appeal to Congress to do | C stice and protect them by legisla- 2ion, instead of pjucifg them under uj he heel of those who ruled with an si ron band.
