Resurrection of the Rebel Element j ]
Republican journals of the Xortk'1
arc seeking to create the impression j1
that the rebel elenieut, as tbey arei*
pleased to term it, is only waitiug!0
a favorable opportunity to assert
itself, and that as soon as the new
Congress assembles the Soutltern
members, two-thirds of whom are
c
Ex-Confederate officers, iioldiug, as
tlicy will do, the balance of power, ^
will procced at once to revolution-1'
ize the government, and repudiate ,
all the reconstruction measures.
This appeal to sectional passions ,
and attempt to revive the dead is- sj
sues of the late war, form the trump
cards which they have played over C
and over .again, and with which n.
tl
they hope to stem the tide of ^
their disasters, and recall victory ^
.again to thou- standard in the Pies ^
.ulcutial canvass ot 187o.
The latest contribution to this a
-vttort or party strategy is a letter D
t'rwm tlie Washington correspondent
of tke Cincinnati Gas'Mr, in
which l?c gives aw accouut of the
preparations wliicli are being naade ,

vhich we are loth to believe, at1
hat notice, no one could regret it
nore than ourselves, and ao one
xxild be more ready to make
imends than we are. But, for argument
sake, admit that we did

Sra acted the part of the latter ?
ias he not advertised to all his readrs
a vulgar construction of our
aragraph, ichich construction we ^
ubmi lis erroneous ? '
May wc not remind the editor of i
he New Era ot the action of Henry '
V, on a certain memorable occa- '
ion, when he was entertaining in j
be most splendid manner a large f
omnanv of roval truests. In the <
lidst of the glitter and splendor of 1
bat evening's entertaiumeni a 1
idy's garter was found upom the t
oor, (we trust that does not shock j
be modesty of the New Era,) and
vulgar lord present began to '
lake allusions to that arti-ele at the
xpense of the unfortunate loser,
rtien the King rebuked him in the 1
lost withering manner by merely ?
eplylng, "Evil to him who evil
links." That circumstance gave 1
ise to the "Knights of the Garter," '
nd it was afterwards considered '
be highest honor to be knight- '
d a "Knight of the Garter." The '
ditor of the New Era may make his (
1
wn inference.
The action of the New Era re- '
liuds us ot the person who walked 1
ito a picture gallery, and upon *
bserving that beautiful and sub- ^
me chromo of the "Rock of Ages," 1

Report on Edgefield Affaire. '
Col. Parnmle has made a,report
to the Governor of his mission :to i
Edgefield,,in which he announces, I
the recovery of must of the State |
arms and the disbanding of the J
military organizations. He says: <
nT ,lnnn,r a ofav of th reft .
J. uuu, umiuj - -"V -- Iweeks,
some opportunity of learning
the real causes in the recent
troubles there between the white
and colored citizens. It is obvious
to any careful observer who may
visit Edgefield county that the majority
of the white people are
highly cultivated, industrious, lawabiding
citizens, who desire peace,
and who are.entisfied with seeking
redress for their grievances only in
a lawful manner. So with the colored
race. The majority are industrious.
respectable, and opposed
to any act of lawlessness. There
is, however, a disturbing element
an the minority of both races.
Among the whites, a class of men
who hold human life at.little value,
being as reckless iu risking their
own as they are heartless iu taking
the lives of others. These men are
habitually armed, and ready to
resent any assertion of equality as
a citizen when coming from a colored
man, such action on his part
being considered offensive and presumptuous.
These desperadoes
are beyond the control of the more e
law-abiding white people, who dare J
not oppose or condemn them, t
Among the colored people there is
a clas9 who do not wish to labor,
nnd are known as habitual thieves ,
or disturbers of the peace, by '
making incendiary remarks or sug- r
gesting threats in retaliation for v
acts or language perpetrated or
used by white people against them t
or some oue of their race. It can g
thus be seen that a tew lawless or (
imprudent men of both races have t
involved Edgfield county in acts t
which have injured its good name, ^
svniie a majority or us citizens nave ^
been really innocent of any wrong .

He reports the beginning of o c
better (eelirfg between the races, f
ind presents the following hopeful I
new: f
I believe that the proscription of j
the colored people will soon cease. t
rherc are now no more laborers in r
Edgefield county than will be needid
for the cultivation of the soil g
:his year. Many of the land-ownjrs
are in debt, being obliged to *.
produce from their lands or be
sold out. 27o one believes that the [
colored people who may be forced
:o leave the country will be com- a
aensated for by jhe arrival of oth- r
jrs, and hence the interests of both .
aces will induce tham to live to- ?
;ether in harmony.' t
[he Passage of the Civil Rights Bill
The Civil Rights bill has passed ^

signed by the President. 1
This bill gives negroes equal

jonveyances, such as railroads, c
steamboats, steamships,public stage

bequeathed as a dying legacy to f
