THE DEMOCRATIC ADDRESS;
" ?
Tho address to the people of the
United States, signed by fourteer
Democratic Senators and ninety-foui
Representatives in Congress, sets fort I
their views upon tho legislation ant;
policy Of tho Radical patty, and defines
in general terms the position of the
Democratic part}* upon ponding issues

policy of tlio part}*, but we suppose
that tho leaders wisely forebore from
usurpiug the province of a National
Convention, and left the work oi
making a platform and the detai's of
policy to be modified by the course
of future events. It has been pretended
by the Republican journals
that the address fails to meet squarely
tho issues made by tho wat*, and
avoids taking decided ground with
reference to the various Constitutional
Amendments guaranteeing suffrage
tn blnr-lv's. There is
nnu iv vuv
110 pretence, howover, for tho charge,
for the address distinctly rccogntics
the rights of ever}* citizen under those
Amendments, and pledges tho party
to their support.
Tho address was desiguod not as
a programme of policy, but as a bill
of indictment against the ruling party
?charging a lavish and corrupt expenditure
of the people's money and
manifold encroachments upon the
people's rights?corruption, extravagance,
centralization?a oocreive ]jol
ley WDion tnrcatcns 10 orcriurow
public liberty and to convert this
government into a military despotism.
The Ku-Klux Bill is a step to this
end. The government itsolf fomonts
disorders at tho South, that it* may
place tho Southern States under its!
control, and secure their voto iu the
coming Presidential election.
in view of this manifest design of
of tho .Radical party to provoke disturbances
at tho South, how timely
tho advice of tho address, to refrain
from playing into fcho hands ol' our
adversaries! liu-Klux ootra^es serve;
but to unite tho liauical party and to,
8w.ell their majorities at the North.;
Bat for tlieso it would die with its
other dead issues, which onc<5 gave
cohesion and life to tho Denization, j
Its work is done and mission ended,!
unless we of the South give it a new
Jeaso of life by furnishing the food
npou which it lives.
MINORITY REPRESENTATION.
According to tho view of the
Charleston News, no Convention is
accessary to change the existing system
and put the new plan into Opera-1
tion, since the change would not impair |
the present Constitutional right of;
the voter. The whole aim of thej
Constitution is to sccure equality and [
prevent discrimination in voting, and j
this equality is not at all affectcd by j
granting to every voter, tinder the!
new system, as many votes as there j
are persons to bo cleeted.
The practical operation of "reformed
voting" was first tested in
Pennsylvania. Through cx-Sonator
Buckalew's iufluence, the Pennsylvania
Legislature passed an "Au act to J
djfinc tho limits and to organteo the
Town of Bloomsbiirg," and in the act
a provision fbr a new voting system
was inserted. The town council was
ordered to consist df a president and j
six (6) members, and tie mode Of vol-!
J . r> it. !
ing jnaicaieu lu uuy ui me Buuuuiiaj
ot the act, xvhieh reads thas:
"When six persons aro to be cho-j
feen, each voter may give one vote to!
each of six persons, one vote and a '
half to each of foar, two votes to each j
.of tbr.ee, tbr.ee votes to each of two. I
or six votes to one.M On April 12. j
1870, the eleetioh catlie off. Ex-Sep-j

experiment, east, the first vote. Thej
klAnliAM AW/I f Kft KAOtlU I

proVcd satisfactory. Tbo town wasj
politically divided between iho Deofo-'
crftts and the GppOsitioo, with an!1
Inconsiderable democratic majority.'
The rcsuit was, that of the 6ix conn-::
fciUnoo cleetcd., three were the regular j
party nominees, and three were ol!
tho, opposition. Under the old sys- ,1
-...torn all six would bavo been the regu-j
. jar j^iirty bominees. Thus tbo princi-i'
pie, tried on a small scaie, was fbuud j
j.ot impracticable.
It is suggested that thcro need bo:
no long delay in testing the plan i
jicre. Should the May Convention j
consider the matter and secure the
jco-operation of leading Hepublieans,
vhe general elections of 1ST2 ill ay be | (
conducted according Ui the new plan.i
Congress ha? postponed Amiiestv,
and instead Las ^iven us the j
Ku-felax Bill?has refused us "bread,"!
and instead had given something!

The Hay Convention.
Our readers 'will recollect thut a
public meeting of lax-payer9 will be
held here on Monday next, to appoint
two delegates to the May Convention.
: We trdst to bco a largo meeting,
showing the interest of our people in
a matter, which so nearly concerns
them. Prominent gentlemen of the
State have interchanged views with
the Governor, and it 3eems to be genI
orally agreed that the Convention
i will be productivo of goo'd. It was
agreed, says the iVetrs, "that tho
; convention will bo productive of
good, provided it did not partake of
i a political or partisan character, and
' the hope was eJrprcssed that such
, would be the caso, and that the tody
would confine itself strictly to the
purposes for which it is convened."
Those purposes are tho investigation
and discussion of the finances, the
\
^ sterling fund bill, taxatiohj the pro^
posed convention, and all other subjects
which form the burden of com!
hlnlnts which are both 'loud and
5 ji "" . !deep."
A calm and temperate digicuBsionof
these matters in a Convelitlon
called together irrespective of
part}' lines would doubtless lead to
some practical measures of rolief.

The IIc-Klux BrtL.-?The Nation,
one of the etauhchest'ReiJfrblican journals
in the country, has a series of
severe strictures on the outrngcous
bill just passed by Congress, known
as the "force bill."
A careful analysis, demonstrating
in a clear manner the invalidity of all
j the important and practical provision*
J of the bill is concluded as follows:
To sum up the resultH : The statuti
violates the letter of tho Constiluliot:
by declaring that to lo a rebclIrOi.

; nothing more titan violence to individuals,-and
by permitting the writ

itime of peace; by authorizing thi
President to employ tho niililan
forces in repressing opposition toj
State laws without any application
from State authorities'; by extending
tbo prohibitions of the Fourteenth
Amendment to cases of private wrong; I
and by clothing tho National Courtswith
juriediction over ordinary crimch
and with function of ordinary police
repression. It violates the ontircf spirit
of the Constitution by conferring
upon tho President in time of peace a
military discretion which belongs to
jhiin only as Commander-in-Chief in

one whose compctcnoy was beyond

but not filled. .Wo yet trust
that we arc not mistaken in our csti-j

allowing two belligerents of his own)

This celebrated singer, \vho|receivcs
one thousund dollars in gold for cach |
night that she sings, guyp tho fir?t of'
her concerts in the Academy ^of Mu- (
<ic Charleston, onla3t Saturday night
tu the'delight of a largo audience. ?
The News thus describes her appearI
jnee and style of execution:
"Allle xsilsson hits a stately presence,
and a manner indescribably fascinat.ng.
The luminous brown-gray eyeB,
i.he fair bright face, the wealth of
golden hair, the troy ppise of the head,
ihe wondrous mobility of feature, the
vinning nmile and queenly bearing,

List ever drew, turn pstttbii.sii i?or ai
once in the graces of her public. In
; his, lies one secret of Mile Vinson's
success. Half her audioncc uro in
love with heV before a note is sung.
But her voice needs no apology, and
romp'cls tlio applause of the most
iijpereritical amateur. It is of large
compass aud an (Helen I power, rich in
tone, and wonderfully soil and clear
in the low breathing notes, which,
jvon nOw, linger in tho car of these
who liCard them on last Saturday
uight. .Mile 2silsson'rt roico is highly
cultivated, aud enables her to produce
those wonderful effects of light and
shade, the dainty^/fw/Zwrp and massive
declamation, which give to her singling,
even in the concert-room, so much
dramatic foreo. There are, doubtless,
singers who have as pure a voice, or
us much art stic skill, or as much per
soufll grace, or as much fervor of expression
; but we do not believe that
there is a 113' other singer on tho operatic
stage, hero or in Europe, who
combines all those rare qualities in
tho exalled degree in which they are
possessod b}' Nilsson. No wonder,
then that Paris and London placed
the fairhaired Swede on the pedestal

A New iJuir.de Across frrfi Sa?
vannaii.?The indications are that
Lbc question of builbing a new bridge
across tlio Savannah river will soon
tome before the City Council. The
present bridge i3 in a very bad con*
ilition, and though the- worst portions
of it aro undergoing repairs, it is
L-lairaed that nothing short of a now
structure will answer. If a new
bridge is decided upon it is proposed
to erect an Iron bridge upon piers of '
stone and havo done with wood.
While such a would cost a great deal
of money, it is believed that, in' the
lung run, lb wuuiu yiuvv u tutuj; investment.
When once built no repairs
Aould be necessary, whero s a wood-,
jn bridge hcis to bo worked upon '
nearly every your. At the end of
the i)rcsciit year, the repairs upon
the bridge since tho war will haveeost
about twentjvfive thousand dollars,
and it is estimated that tho money
Hpeut for repairs during tho past
twenty years would hav.o more than
paid-for a bridge 'of iron. Wo understand
that Mayor Eates is having inquiries
made as the probablo cost of
such a structure, and whan he gets
the necessary information ho will no
doubt submit it the.City Council.?
