For one year, in advance, #3 00 For fix months, " i 1 60 For three months, " - 100 ?sT Our day of publication has been changed from Wednesday to Thursday of eacli week, the latter dav being better suited to the present arrangement of tbe mails. The Strength of the Dominant Party. Many persona are disposed to believe tbat a great change in public sentiment is taking place at tbe North, which will be plainly developed at the approaching elections in tbe several Northern Rnd Western States ; and upon this belief tbe hope of successful opposition to tbe pros ent reconstruction nroerramme is based ? In our humhle judgment, no change, promising better terms to the South, is taking placp; and wo greatly fear that the efforts of the President to#he!p u?, hv changing District Commander* and rei constmcting his Cabinet, however well in tended thev trtav he. will ooerate to onr prejudice, rather than to?onr advantage. We can see no prospect of the power of the dominant partv being broken for veara t"> come, and therefore no hope that op position to their plan of reconstruction in the Southern States can avail us. Tlio Charleston iWtrs has some excel lent remarks in this connection, whiclj wo take pleasure in reproducing. However we may he disposed (says that paper) to conceal the fact from ourselves, or listen | lo the insidiops wiles of a partisan pres?, we have no doubt of the fact, that the macs of the people of ilie North are on the si<)e of the Republican party ; an?l however they may differ from the extre* tnists of their party, the ultra Radicals? in case of any vital issue the party would of course stand together. We cannot, therefore, agree with those of our fri-nds who believe that deliverance ia at hand and that it ia to be effected by the ballot box. If not, what then f Whv, we must ne, cept the terma now offered ua, and en<lea vof, under thia organic act, to become re? instated aa a State in the Union. Unnl rtmiNinien, we are nrreriy help1?**. It I should be our constant aim and end-arnr ! to shorten tins probationary period of our tutelage. Our peopla should be on their guard, and do nothing rashly. There is a disposition among many to rejoice at the recent action of the President, in ro moving Stanton,. Shet id an and Sickles.? "We can see no canre for congratulation. The President has never failed to declare it as his purpose to execute the laws ; and although Sheridan is removed, military government, with all its concomitants tin. der the Reconstruction Acta, still remains. It may he that Hancock will prove more acceptable to the people of Louisiana and Texas than Sheridan has done ; it may 1)6 that Oanhy, our newly appointed Commander, will prove loss objection able to the people of the two Carolina* than General Sickles. We say all this may be. There can of course be no cer tainty on this po:nt. As we said before, the Acts of Congress, by virtue of which tbese military commanders exercise swav over the ten Southern States, are still in force, and are upheld by the President LlrmClf J and in the order, making these new appointments* the President says they ftiens, Cariby and Hancock] " will, when necessary to a faithful execution of the laws, exercise any and all powers con ferred by the Acts of Congress upon the Pistrict Commanders, ar.d aDV and all an tbotity pertaining to officers in command of Military Departments." So reade the commisaion of these new | appointees ; and our thoughtful readers j will agree with us, we feel sure, when we fty that a charge of rulers is rvf 'i??le ef feet, so long as we are governed bv the military code. These new rulers will do one of three things. They will either ah rogate the orders of their predecessors, and issue new ones, or threw will retain 1 v ?/ the body of milllAty l*w, # #?*!opo<d by circumstances do the paatlix months^ | or what is much ia?m likely, they will retain some, and annul olhore?~ the only wire course. While good may come of these changes, the result is at beat doeHtful. The mere excitement, unrest, and anxiety at) tendant upon these changes, Is prejudicial in its effect on the peace, the business and prosperity of the country. . We hare said nothing yet of the nltii mate consequences cf these changes ; the part we are again called to play in the quarrel between the President and Oon geese. When Congress re-a?senib!e? m November, the very first thing they will do, in our opinion, is to bring in articles of impeachment against the President.? Whether justly or unjustly, constitution H^tflrwwconsrttdflonalfy, will make no practical difference to ne. We belie re that in lliH Coming conical the I 'resident's party will not be ibc victor. Il line not been so heretofore. ll>?r?!ier terms have been imposed upon us every time we have listened to the President and bis ad viaers. Prudence, expediency, therefore, dictate strict neti'inlitv on our part in the present contest. Tee Prescient, whatever his intentions, is.utiahlq to serve us, ?na , ieriaiiy, nor are we able to s?-r*w lum.? i But our connection; we verilv believe,.has | been productive of barm to both liini and us. Lot us then Iparn wisdom from the pa?t, .< i _i r r .1 i ? i - nmi Bint'u niiiui iruTii cue prnppni mi'?rc?p lio Wu firmly believe that we now have tbe best terms that will ever be offered to j its. Let nothing, therefore, teed u* from | the instil work in ban.I. Let no side is sue divert our attention from the great task, now before us, viz : our political re generation. If we rt j -ct these terms, we have no reason whatever to look for anyt thing but wcftse. Negro Debts, Amnnr the proceedings of the United I States I) .sirict Court, now in Session at 1 (Jreenville, the following important case is lopunra. 11 m iiiih 01 threat interest to the country at this time : "Thomas R Afiptew, assignee, vs. Simp son Bobo.
