AvO Ths Press and W\ A. LEE, Editor. Wednesday, March 31, 1875. % Business Revival. 5 * Y *Tlic lN\w York IT-raid assigns some dozen reasons, as leading to 'the belief, and justifying the hope, 'that the year l87o will mark the T>eginniug of a new era of prosperity. Among these are the following: the decrease in the ex"pense of carrying on business, from the reduction in store rents, -and greater economy in living?a r * ? "cheapening of production owing to abundant crops, and the reduced prices of labor?the saving of millions of dollars by the enforced economy of the past two years? the freedom of the "West from debt, and the prosperity of the South, ' owing to the large and profitable ' crops of both sections?the low price of merchandize which has led to the exports of cottons to China, and coal to the West In' dies?the healthy condition of the ' banks?and lastly the immense recuperation powers of the country. Upon this it remarks : Our condition is that of a voting and vigorous man with a sound constitution struck down by fever. He may lie long in peril of death; l-.-i. ? .1. /*.. <\?> tliA V.w* ,-\y% 12 UUl WliVII oiiwv; nit H/tvi iunaivk cd his rccoverv is rapid mid sure. The country is rich and strong; it has now pence at home and abroad; it lias passed the point of danger and is on the way to recov' ery, and its upward course will be more rapid than cautious or fearful meu anticipate. Many of the causes of business prostration and loss of confidence have disappeared. A check has been at last put to the mis government and spoliation of the Southern half of the Union and industry once more thrives and has its reward there. In the North a great mass of speculative enterprises have perished, and if the country is stil! in debt on their account at least further wasto is stopped. We have learned one bitter lesson of economy and caution. 15ut that we are safely past the dangerous point and on the upwajd turn all indications prove, and this consideration alone will greatly help to revive production and exchange by re-establishing confidence in the future. We in our section arc sutferin<! from short crops, and the necessity of meeting the indebtedness ol past years. These together with heavy taxes, and prevailing extravagance, the result of habits contracted in moro prosperous days, have brought about money stringency, and unusual depressiou ol business. This can never bo overcome until we learn to be more self-reliant and self-supporting? make more and buy less?plant 1635 CUllUil ttiiu iuui? sions?inaugurate a system of varied husbandry and cultivated habits of economy?raise everything practicable within ourselves and make cotton the surplus crop?and we will thus be enabled at the close of the year to hold on to our cotton, and await better prices, and not sacrifice it to swell the profits of the speculators. Such a system would have secured millions to the planters this season. Easter Monday Election.?At a meeting of the congregation of Trinity Church held on Easter Monday, the following officers were elected for the ensuing year : f reefi"ii -V virnsfr.nrl Hurf .T_ T Robertson, W. A. Lee, D. B. Smith, and Ilngh "Wilson. Wardens?"W. H. Parker, B. S. Bnrnwell. Delegates to the Convention?"W. II. Parker, B. S. Bnrnwell, Dr. E. Parker, ]>. B. Smith. Delegates to the Convocation?"W. TT TX...V.?? \V \ Tpo ii. i aii\v;i, i? . * At a meeting of the Vestry, Armistead Burt w a s re-elected Chairman, and J. T. Robertson, Secretary. A committee consisting of "\V. H. Parker, B. S. Barnwell, J. T. Roberson, and W. A. Lee, were flnnointed to conduct a corrcspon "n douce with a view to obtain a minister to supply the existing vacancy in the church. Debate.?An exciting public debate came oft' in Lindsay Hal! on Friday night of last week between ten of the Erskine Students, on the subject ""Which has dono more for the advancement ot literature, Greece or Rome." Drs. Grier and Bonner, and Tlev. W. L. Pressly, acted as judges and awarded the palm to the Greeks, feeling at the same time that the Romans were not far behind them. So says the Presbyterian. Doctors.?Dr. Melville Ellis, of Due "West, and Dr. "William Clinkscales, of Auderson, graduated recently, the first is Philadelphia and the second in Charleston. They .are both Erskine graduates. I General Butler oil the Civil Rights, 1 Bill, j ? ' , ] I Gen. Butler lias written a letter [to a gentleman of Cincinnati, in j which ho begins a clear exposition I of his views of the Civil flights bill, j which are especially interesting as !coming from one of its most prominent supporters. According to | his view, the law of Congress J does no more than confirm rights which were already possessed-by l*i.? .vii?p,.,i ninn nt common law. but denied to him op. account of prejudice of i-ace?that tiie law docs not esteud the rights of the colored man, but simply gives a ! greater power of enforcing them by j-cet'tain penalties provided for the j viotation of these rights,and through 'the process of United States j Courts. As the law cannot oomjpell a merchant to sell his goods j when he prefers to keep them, so jit cannot compel a barber, or a I boarding house or saloon keeper I to entertain unwelcome guests? conferring no power to interfere with business which is private in jits nature. j According to Gen. Butler, from time immemorial, all men nave hail equal rights at common law, in places of public amusement, in public conveyances, and in inns and licensed taverns, because all such business .was for the public benefit under special privileges granted bv the government. He O V O says: "The theatre and like public 1* 1 V - xl, - amuscmeuts were licensed uy iuu public authorities and protected by the police. The public conveyance used the Kind's highway.? The public inn had the privilege of a lien or claim upon baggage or other property of any traveller using it for his keep; and if any man was refused, while behaving himself well and paying bis fare, a seat at any place of public amusement, or carriage by public conveyance or shelter in a public innhe bad at common law a right of action against the party so refusing. The Civil Rights bill only confirms these rights of all citizens to the colored man in consideration of the prejudice against him and an attempt in ccrtain parts of the country to interfere with the exercise of those common law rights, and lias enacted a penalty as a means of enforcing the right in his behalf in consideration of ; his helpless and dependent condition." [ In thus showing the limited , scope ol the law, the letter will . doubtless do good, in restraining the colored from attempting the the exercise of rights which have not been granted, as well as in di vesting the law of some of its most odious characteristics, and , thus removing the chief causes of irritation. The bill after all will be very harmless in its operation. Lesson in State Government. The Xew York Times, a leading Republican journal of the North, deprecates the too frequent appeals by the political parties of the country for Federal interlerence, and refers to the ease of South Carolina, as the furnishing proof that the want of reliance upon the States is not justified, and that ( there is in the public opinion of a State a vigor and vitality which acting through the constitutional , agencies of the State have brought ' about the most substantial reforms. It admits that South Carolina has suffered as severely as any State from the Reconstruction laws, and that at one time the obstinate Hnnishness of the black race, had made the work of reform almost hopeless, but refers to the improved character of the Government and the persistent efforts of Governor Chamberlain and Treasurer Cardoso, to carry out the pledges of reform, and to the cordial support which they have received from the Conservative men of both mrtics. as showing that a steady, patient, active, and intelligent use of the forces which arc legitimate under a free government are all sufficient I ? for the work of reform and the establishment of good government and of the just protection of the rights of the citizens. From this it argues that there is a corrective j force in the public opinion 01 any State which is sufficient to secure good government. Such is doubtless the case, and Uve of the South have chiefly comj plained that Federal bcyonets have been used to prop-up bogus govicrnrnents, and that with the Federal "hands off" we were folly able to take care of ourselves. AVe have uo reason to go to Republican journals for lessons in .State rights, when for years the rights of local j self-government has been one of j the most cherished principles of the Democratic party. j Anderson Court.?An Extra |Tcrm of the Court opened at Anderson on Monday last, and several jof our Abbeville lawyers are in at-j j tendenco. Andy Johnson on Louisiana. I One of the chioi ' .^itures of tho present session of tho Senato was tho ; speech of tho ex-Preside I 1 ..-v un the resolution endorsing Grant's rule in Louisiana. The speech was delivered beforo a crowded house, and presented a severe arraignment of Grant's Southern policy, as well as tho general character of his administration? denouncing him as a gift-taker, and oq /L-xin,* nil in Ino r?Awni* tn UOUIJIU1, Ui. xv.ujj J.W.. v~ land the countiy into the arms of a ! military despotism. The speech reviews Johuson'" own administration, and contrasts it with that of Grant? denounces his restoration of Sheridan to Louisiana after being onco removed?denounces his third term aspirations, and his latest outrago the intimidation of the- Louisiana Legislature. The speech thus concludes: "Instead of the resolution now bc<V>vnihr> Konntft T would irn to him V/ ???W '- ~ - - O -- with the language, if 1 was permitted to prepare the resolution, that Cato used to the Ambassador of Crcsar when the Ambassador approached him and asked him to capitulate, saying that his name would bo second to none but that of Cu'sar. I would say to this Emperor, I would say to this [Dictator, what Cato said to the Ami? 4-v. uf'.i <iiwl i /i 11 fliic Fmnoi'm1 UHSMiuur? v.?v 4iiiv* i<.n i?iu to disband his legions and restore the liberties of the people." This I would say to him, even as humble as I am. ' 1 would tell him to stop his encroachments upon the constitution and close the gulf between the people ami bring peace and prosperity to the country. Do this and I will mount the rostrum and contrive to gain his pardon from the people for his violations of the constitution of his country and the transcendent impositions that ho has practised upon the country. This, even as humble as I am, for the sake of peace, for the sake of concord, for the restoration o<" prosperity, I am even willing to mount the rostrum and strivo to gain his pardon from an indignant people. You must close up the gulf, restore pcaco and prosperity to the country, restore the government to what it originally was in fact and in practice. It is the home of the emigrant and asylum of the exile for all time. con PRESERVE THE COUNTRY! Let it be saved. 1 would rather see these pillars fall against each other, 1 1 would rather see us all wiped out of existence, than to see the constitution of my country destroyed. To save the constitution is to save the countiy, and in saving tho country you will restore it to peace and prosperity. What does your Hag indicate? What does the flag upon tho domo that flaunts upon the brcezo to-day indicate? Is it true that it is the great emblem of freedom ? Or is il a falsehood? Does not the countiy ' represent a flag of freedom and protection to its citizens? .Don't let us consider about party, but consider *i-~ "' vi'- ? lw% /.aii nfiuf nnrl 111U t'UUIHlj , tuv; n uuiv vviiuu j j I?UM nothing but the country. Let us do this. In the language of Webster, let this Uniou be preserved, "one and inseparable;" lot us stand equal in the Union, all upon an equal footing; let peace and prosperity bo restored to the land. Alay God bless the country, and ma)' God save the constitution! I know when I give utterance to this it comes from a heart that never beat hostile to it. Let us come up to this good work and let us forget what has been heretofore; let us lay aside our personal difference; let us lay siside party discipline: Ictus give up our parties to the constitution of our countrv and lav theru on the altar in defence of the constitution. I thank you, Mr Prescient, ar.d you, Senators, for your kind attention. (Applause in the gdlcrics, which was checked by the President pro lew. The New York Herald commends the speech as one which will make an ioppression on the country by reason of its onergy, earnestness and courage, and as one which though condemned for its impolicy, is such a one as might be expected from a nature so blunt and courageous. Xo one has doubled the honesty of the ex President, and his words of timely warning against tho military ten Ucnces of the Government, will doubtless have their proper effect upon the sober good sense of the American people. During the past week the masonic brethren here have been favored with visits from some of their great lights. On Wednesday evening a council of Select Masters was organized with inc louowing omucrs: R. and S. Masters J. T. Robinson, Thrice Illustrious Master. R. ami .S. Masters AY. II. Parker, Deputy Master.

Wo may congratulat ourselves, however, that 60 much i somo respects was left undone.

The tax in Abbeville will be i least as heavy as last year. The Governor vetoed the act I declare the true intent and mcanin of the act to fund the public deb The main ground fcr the veto is thi the bill is not in hannonj* with tli present settlement of the public deb which the Govcnor considers himso bound to sustain, in accordance wit his pledges. The vetoed mcasui proposed to make the interest o State bonds and stocks fundable u to the time of funding or consolidi ting such bonds and stocks; whore: the funding not provides for payin the interest from January 1, 1374, t the date of funding, in money. Th change, tho Governor says, woul greatly retard tho proces of fuudin which i3 now goiug on with sue gratifying rapidity. He regards th duty of standing by the present so tlemeut as a paramount to ever; thing else. Tiie veto was sustaine by a vote of 15 to 14.
