A CHARGE REFUTED. }
ti
The Nation says-in its last issue:
"We have been assured bv Judge Hoar
Tate Attorney-General, that Judges-Strong e
and Bradley, the recently appointed Su- p
prenae Judges, were selected, and we be- a
lleve nominated, several days before the j,
first legal tender decision was delivered
and before the government knew what it
would be; and that they were selected
solely wi h reference to their standing and l
character. Judge Strong had rendered
a decision, it is true, affirming the consti- j
tutionality of the act, but so had nearly n
all other State Judges before whom the >
question had been brought. Judge Brad- y
ley though counsel to repudiating corpora ,
tions had advised the payment of interest j
in coin." j 81
Now this has been one of the gravest
accusations against the administration of
Grant?viz: that the supreme court had v
been packed by the administration to v
secure a decision affirming the validity of 1
the legal tender act. This statement r'
from such excellent authority utterly re- ^
futf8 the charge. I
To the Supreme Court we look for de- j ^
fense against the encroachmen's, certain j v
to be attempted, of the other branches of *
our government. It wag created to per- *
form that duty. To infringe in the
aiighleet degree upen its-independence; to ^
question the impartiality of its judgments;
or to lessen the respect and veneration
which it has commanded and received
from the Americin people, ia to strike a ^
heavy blow at the life o? the republic. j tj
The "Republican party has Us sins of .
omission and commission, but we hope
the sin of defiling the* seat of justice wili
never be^pe of them. (
Charles Sumner and Pinehbaek.
The following resolution was offered by ^
Mr. Pinebback, of Louisiana, in the color- ??
ed men's convention at New Orleans:
Rexolced% That Hon. Charles Sumner, by
his disinteresteJ advocacy of our rights and
liis consuiuate statesmanship in-securing a j I1
recognition of these rights in the Constitution fi
of the United States, has endeared himself si
rw ?l, n AAlnmrl rtPAnlo nf flin nufiAn nnrl nrt? !
til Hon. Chac. Sumner shell himself an- :
nounce his secession from the Republican
party we shall hold him to he as he has ever a
Wen, one of the purest and ablest members I s
of our great party, 1 j
That is: Charles Sumner has endeared j ,
himself to the colored people by a lifelong
advo. acy of the rights of man; that he has
secured their allVctioos by bting the ma n
iusiruiueut m securing a recognition of
their civil and political rights in the Con- 1
siitution and hw* of the Uoited States; j '
aud that they will hold him to be a pure -j
and able man, until?wheu? Why, until ,
he separates himself from apolitical party, j
Not, until he proves recrtaut to the cause I
of human rights; uot, until he becomes
i
the advocite of proscription; not, until he
shall become a time-server, a corruptionist,
or a placeman;?but until he shali secede {
from the Republican party.
Before the Republican party was Charles
Sumner wa3 what he is to day aud if God
spans his life, long after that party ceases
to exist he will not have changt d
11
The Pinch backs, Ransiers, aud Tur- y
ner's, id omne yen us. w ill have returned to j
the insignificance from which a great po
litical convulsion has lifted them, th?-ir
names will have been lost iu au early ob j
acurity, aud still the name of Sumner will
be a synomyne for purity, justice and j,
truth for c nturies of American history. y
His is no pinchbeck reputation. A fitting
< pitaph for his h mured tomb would
be: *'He was the Friend of Man." j

The Redemption Bill. i o
The bill to. provide for the redemption and (
sale of lands held by the V. S. in this conn- c
ty has boon passed by the Senate. It was d
considered in the morning hour, when a k
single objection or a determination to debate t
it on the part of any member would have e
.1 ?. t ? l .m i' ... C
inrowu 11 over, out it pusseu wun ;i iew i
verbal amendments. The text of the bill
is founl in another column.
Our people are indebted to Senator Saw- v
yer for the prospect of relief involved in the c
passage of this bill through the Senate. If a
we had a representative in the house of the f
L-.ct w gh: or LfUer.co we mirht hope for g
the speedy favorable action of that body, t
A- v i-. we ion* expect to bear anything c
The Public Schools.
Treasurer Parker informs Mr. Grimke of
Charleston that he will have no money to
ueet the Free School appropriation until
fter the collection of taxes in the fall. In
Charleston the schools will therefore close
CMu. In n Richland county the schools are
loscd, and the amount due the teachers is
lot paid. In this county the commissioner,
re believe, is recommending the early close
f the schools.
We think this decidedly the wiser course,
'here is no economy in--running into debt,
jet the schools close and do not open them
mtil you cet your appropriation. Teachers
nay be willing to teach and wait for their
aoney, but next year the same condition of
flairs is likely to exist. Xo person works
roll who is not getting paid regularly. Let
he schools get even, and then keep out of
ebt.
The Transit of Venus.
Mr. Sawyer, in the U. S. Senate on the
7th inst., advocated the appropriation of
'30,000 for the purpose of purchasing intruments
to be used in the observation of
"enus on the 8th of December 1874, across
be sun's disk, which event will not occur
gain for over a century. We have no reorded
observations of any value of this
vent earlier than 1761, and with the imroved
instruments which modern science
nd invention have contrived it is thought
nportant scientific knowledge will be obiiued.
The bill passed.
"he African Methodists and the President.
On Tuesday last the members of the anual
Baltimore Conference of the African
lethodist Episcopal Church visited the
Resident. In responding to their address,
he President said that no one except thernalves
could be more gratified than he was
hat four millions of persons, who had been
eld in bondage and disposed of as chattels,
rere now free to tiiii.k for themselves and
rorship God as they thought proper, and
hat civil rights for all were fast becoming
ecognized throughout the land. It might
e some little time before they enjoyed all
he rights which belong to citizens, but that
ay is surely coining, and he hoped it might
orne Speedily. In conclusion he thanked !
hem for this call and for the expression of
heir good will.

We learn that a proposition from the
Ion. A. P. Aldrich, President of the Barurcll
and Blaekville Railroad Company, was i
uhinitted at tho meeting of Directors of
he South Carolina Railroad Company held
ne day la-t week, and was favorably enter- |
ained. At an early day, tha engineer of
lie South Carolina Railroad Company will |
urvey the Barnwell Road for the purpose of
naking a sjieeial report upon it, and it is !
x pee ted that, if the present anticipations |
a regard to the condition of the road are
criiied, the work upon the line will begin at
a t ear'y enough to secu.e its completion

With the completion of the Port Royal
load, now assured for this year, Barnwell
iunity will he a favored section. No county

Masonic Monitor. We
have received the first number of (
the Masonic Monitor (for March,) published
monthly at Goldsboro, N. C., by
Bro. J. A. Bonitz. It promises to be a
handsome and beautiful sheet. There are
some twelve thousand Masons in North
Carolina, and about one hundred thousand
in the Southern States, which affords a
wide field for the spread of a good Masonic
sheet. We welcome our Brother to
the Masonic Editorial Corps, promising
bim ample labor, and we hope, also, ample
success.
t
Cruelty. c
A ttadical contemporary is so exasperated
by one or two small-sized burglaries, 1
that it advises its readers to kill the fel- \
lows first, and "try the case afterward." .
We are not quite so sanguinary, even in ,
dealing with men through whose fault the
State has lost millions. What is proposed 1
for these is, that they be turned out of \
office in October,, and be given an oppor- r
tuuity to prove their innocence in the
courts. That's all.?Uharltston Ntics.
The punishment indicated by the News
for its political opponents has, probably, ?
more of cruelty in it than that prescribed c
by us for the burglars. Men who have
had such a4 'soft thing" as the ifeu?s describes,
would as lief be shot as turned c
out. j
No execration of ours would have foi- .j
lowed them, if the Eu-Klux had summarily
dealt with such evil-doers instead of
seeking victims amongdhe-poor, ignorant,
helpless dwellers in the cabins of' the c

Election Day, a Holiday. s
In several of the States, the makiog of *
election day a legal holiday has been ac- 1
complished by statute. Tnis exteuds to
the suspension of business in banks and ^
other corporate bodies, with the usual ex- <
tension of bank paper falling due on that 1
day. This is a step in advance, and we
heartily approve the adoption of it in this
State. f
The time has come in State and Nation- ]
al politics when nothing should be allowed ?
to prevent all citizens from voting; and
our business men are the best of our vot- j
ing population. They are more intimate- <
ly affected by the results of elections than 1
any other class of voters; and their mulli-1 <.
farious interests combine to make them 1
the most judicious of electors. To all citizeus,
however, the good will come, of
giving one day per year to the State and j t
Nation. ?

Preserve the Trees.
Cannot something be done by council to 1
prevent the destruction of the few remain- j
ing live oaks upon the unenclosed lots of ,
town. The beautiful grove in front of the j
public library is nearly destroyed The j
attacks upon them proceed from the de- j ,
mand.for live oak bark which the colored
people take for fever. W-e countul recently
the naked trunks of sixteen noble trees,
each one of which, upon a building lot, 1
would euhance its value to a person of 1
taste, five huudrtd d dlais. A few days j
ago we noticed that several more are
being killed in the same manner. Our
* ? i - ii - ir i a. ^ ,i it.^
council cou u wen niuru to-iseuu iu cue ;
country and have a cart load or two of
bark brought in for gratuitous distribute
the tLold mauraas," rather than see our
beautiful trees dt stroyed. Once gone, a
century will not return them to us. Oh 1
maurna, spare that tree.

A Tornado at Chester*
These things are getting common. A
Correspondent at Chester, thus describes
what one of them did on Thursday last
A violent tornado passed over this town
this afternoon, about five o'clock, which surpassed
in force and destructiveness anything
before experienced in this vicinity. The
main damage was confined to a track about
one hundred and fifty yards wide, passing
through the eastern portion of the town in a
direction from west to east. .Not a house in
this tract escaped utiiuju ed. Fifteen or
twenty dwellings and numberless kitchens
and stables were leveled to the ground.
The steam mill of W. 11. llobertson is a
total wreck. The dwellings of George
McCormick, John Mc Arthur, John Simpson,
Mrs. Baird, Mrs. Sledge, William
Quatllebaum, Mr. Caidwell, Mr. Stokes and
others ars entirely destroyed. No lives were
lost. Several persons were injured by falling
timbers, but none seriously. A colored
man, Harrison Baily, escaping from the mill :
of W. R. Robertson, was picked up by the I
whirlwind and landed in an elm tree one 1
hundred yards off. The damage cannot fall ]
short of thirty thousand dol ars. The wind I
was accompanied with a violent storm of i
rain. .1
THE NEW BOARD.
1
Messrs. Rhodes and Waters have re- 1
ceived notification of their appointment
as Pilot Commissioners in place of Dupong
and Alston. We trust that there will be
no unnecessary delay in organizing the
new board and proceeding to furnish this
port with pilots. There are now no commissioned
pilots for Port Royal bar, and
a schooner loaded with iron was brought
up to the Battery by one of our fishermen
la9t week.
The owners of the embryo city of Port
Royal would, we thiuk, enhance the
chances of selling the forty thousand lots
still on hand if they were to offer some inducements
to a couple of first class pilots
to settle in their town. Pilot material is
scarce here and an importation should be
made at once before the reputation of the
port suffers further damage.
The recent disasters to vessels have
done already more injury than a dozen
article setting forth the advantages of
Port Royal can retrieve. It is within the
r>r<.hahiiiti*>a t.rv retard the growth of the
port for ten years, unless immediate steps
are taken to provide us with competent
pilots.

The Fight against Port-Royal.
The Augusta (Jfit ouicle and Sentinel is
inclined to enter into lite railroad couiest
wall vigor, aud iu speaking of the Port
ltoyal Railroad, and the proposed loan to
Me same by the Gaoigia Railroad, lakes
Occasion to speculate ua louona, lu^uiujuij
the lutuie. It says:
"One of me most important questions
whiou wul couie belore the atucKuoloeis
ot itie Georgia Kailroad, at their meeting
next Mouth, will be liie proposed loan ul
etc tilt to llie i'ort iioyai Kail Company.
Tbe indications Uovv uie that tbe euuoisoiiieut
ot that colupane's bonds will be carried
by a large majority. (Ji couise there
will be opposuion. Theie was never yet a
scheme?no mailer how much ot benefit
it promised ?which did not have opponents.
liut we do not believe that a measure
which has met with the approval ot
lion. John D. Kiug and the board ot Directors,
alter having been thoroughly investigated
and discussed, will encounter
anything like serious opposition trom the
stockholders of the company. It is also
trtn that the Central Railroad and tne
South Carolina Railroad will endeavor, by
the employment of every means in their
power, to defeat the arrangement Strong
resistance from these two corporations is,
as a matter of course, to be expected. Ad
alliance between the Georgia and the
Port Royal Companies will be a death blow
to the supremacy of the South Carolina
and Central. With the completion of the
Port Royal Railway, shippers over the
Georgia and from Augusta will have not
only the choice of a new harbor, but will
also have a new line to Savannah and a
new lioe to Charleston, each as short as or
shorter than the roads which now connect
as with those cities. Frtights which . are
now obliged to go from Atlanta and Augusta
to Savannah over the Central Railroad
will have another aud a competing
line to'depend upon. For the first time
in many yeais; the Georgia Railroad has
an opportunity to be master of the situation,
and'will be able to bid defiance to
her old enemies if the wise action of her
directory shall be sustain* d. It is natural
then that the Central and South Carolina
should fight hard *T but they will fight ia
vain. Their ftglrtmgf will only show to the
stockholders of the Georgia Road how
important to them aa'd their interns
is an arrangement which meets
with so much hostility from such a quarter.
The endorsement #ill be carried;
and the Port lioyal Bailroad will compete7
for the citton crop of the coming autumn^
