Shaving, Trimming, Sbampooing, and
General Garlington on the
Situation.
[From the Charleston Daily News.1
Let us see what that course
would iikely lead to. It is argued
by some that it will be better for
us to continue under military
domination than to participate in
carrying into effect measures which
contain such degrading terms
that it will be more honorable to
adopt a "masterly inactivity" and
take no part in the registrations
and elections which these measures
provide for. The most objection
able features of this scheme are
universal suffrage and the disfran
chisement of persons excluded from
ofice .by the Constitutional amend
ment. Universal suffrage is not
only to be allowed in the elections
ofmembers to frame a constitution,
but it must be incorporated as an
article in the Constitution to be
adonted. These are most certain
lv verv hard terms, and contrary
not only to all our prejudices, but
to all our views of justice and wise
statesmanship. Besides, we have
always cntended that the regula
tion of the elective franchisL
belongs, under the Constitution, to
the States. But have we any elec
tion in the matter, that is the
question ? Can the people, (I mean
those who have heretoi'e exei'
'Sci the elective franchise) by re
fusing to regi:ter their names and
'eein away from tie polis, pre
Vp rt th e eb itio n b ei g h e ld a ,li
the nv ention from niecting. and
in ihis manner retain over them
military rule ? Will not that por
tion of our population who have
the elective -franchise conferred
po:n them by the Military Bill.
and th >se cting with them,gi
ter themselves as voters an parti
cipate ir the elections ? If they
will, and I do not think there can
be a doubt that they will, then by
this course. by this masterly in
activity, all power in the State is
given up to these persons. They
ill make a Constitution to suit
themselves, and may carry out the
octrine already advocated in Con
ress, and sought to be engrafted
n this very Bill, the distrarchise
nent of all who voluntarily parti
cipated in the rebellion. But for
the conservative members of the
Radical party this would now be
the law. Will the people of South
Carolina place themselves in this
:ilemma ? It seems to me that it
would not only be unwise and un
patriotic, but sheer madness. An
ther course is advised by sonme
which I consider equally mischie
ous and suindal. . It is this: Let
hose entitled to vote go forward
adi( register their names and then
vote '-no convention." A dmit, for
the argument, that a convention
may inY this way Ue defeated, what
will we accomplish by it ? It is
true that we would be left for the
present where we are now under
a military government. But is
there any ground for the belief
that, by voluntarily choosing to
remain in this condition, we shall
thereby secure better terms in the
future ?
A new Congress has just gone
iuto power, arnd from all that we
kow-of-their. opinions, they will
ofer n'o better te'rms to us than
he last' congress. They are in
Tce for t.wo years more, and have
1.wording majority of t wo-thirds.
Hopeful, indeed, must be the man
who expects that so great a change
-an be. effected as to reverse this
majority within the next two
years.
But it is said that a reaction is
oing on in the Northern States,
nd that at the next election, two
years hence, or at some remote
period, the Radical party will loose
their power. This is a matter
f mere speculation. There is
nothing more difficult than to
prognosticate political events. Nor
is anything more unsafe in politics
than to base present action upon
changes to take place in the future,
and especially when those changes
involve a total reversal of the
whole current of present thought,
feeling and opinion. This reaction
of public sentiment at the North,
on the subject of slavery, has been
rung in our ears for a quarter of a
century, but my observation and
reading have been to very little
purpose, if public sentiment on
this subject has not, from the
beginning of the agitation to the
present hour, been set in the same
:irection, and gathering strength
from year to year, has swept away
every obstacle before it, until now
f a'll other sentiments in the
Nortern mind, it is the most
powerful, all pervadir.g and uncom
proitsing. It has never gone
baward-onward has been its
motto. You may aS well dream of
sm-~c back the majestic current
of arresting the progress of the re
volution, which this sentiment is
working, before it has run its
course-until it has consummated
its purpose. That purpose is, to
place the emancipated slave on an
equality, political as wAll as civil,
with the white man. This result
I look upon as the decree of
destiny-no human power can
prevent it. It is within possibili
ty that it may be postponed. but
it will come-it is inevitable. Why.
then, contend against fate, agaiust
tlhat which we cannot successfully
oppose ? The eagle. as he strikes
v'ith bold and fearless wing the
storm that hurries him away. is
an object in nature that claims our
admiration; but he can rise above
the clouds, and soar again to his
"pride of place." Not so with a
people situated as we are. who
stand in the way of the march of
events. who attempt to stem a
mighty popular movement. which
has its origin in, and is impelled
forward by. the sentiment of
nations-by the spirit of the age,
they will be submerged beneath
its resistless waves. pcriaps. never
to rise again. Events have proved
that it would have been wiser in
us to have yielded sooner to in
exorable necessity, and to have
prepared the way for the gradual
accomplishment of the result
whieh has been forced upon us
lidde1i. an! wih so s reat a
But if we are to base our hopes
for milder and better terms of
restoration to the Union upon a
reaction ofsentiment in the masses
of the Nor.h. controlling the legis
lation of Con grress, it wouUlK "ee1
tIhat our true policy would be to
0lace ourselves in that position
where we will be able to exert the
greatest influence in promoting
t his reaction. In our present po,si
tion we exert no influence, either
in or out of Congress, in shaping
the course of political affairs. But.
once admitted into the Union, we
becoine a power in the State. We
may then join our true friends
there in their efforts to bring the
Government back to its ancient
landmarks of power, to bring
about the reaction hoped for and
and so much desired. But, as I
have already said, I have no con
fidence in any change 'n Congress
that will prompt the #ffer of more
favorable terms to us. On the
contrary I very much fear that, if
we should rejee~t the p)roffered plan.
it will give political agitators re
newed power to exact of us still
severer terms. The in dientions
are, that any new element of dis
cord introduced by us at this time
in the settlement of this contro
versy-any exhibition ofobstinney.
undue pride or resentment on our
p)art v/ll likely lead to the adop
tion of more proscriptive measures.
to the imposition of still greater
burdens upon us. The disfran
chisement of rebels and the confis
catio of their estates have already
been proposed in Congress. One
of the greatest orators and States
men of Fnglzand has saidl, thbat
:revolutions arc faivorable to con
fiscation," and I firmly balieve that
no proposition has yet beeCn made,
w\hich presents so strong 'an ap
peal to the Northern mind, to its
cupidity and passions, than this
to divide our estates amongt the
soldiers of the UJnitedI Sta tes as a
reward of their va!or and triumph.
or to confiscate them to publie use
in payment of the expenses of the
war. This measure is much more
likely to succeed than any reac
tionary movement, and unless it be
prevented by timely action on our
part, I regard it as by no means
an improbable result.
The great alta of the party in
power, is to secure to persons _of
color the elective franchise-this
is the end they propose. -They
believe, or a*ct to believe, that
this measure is necessary to pro
tect these people in the enjoyment
of the freedom and civil rights
which have been conferred upon
them. This is the settled convic
tion of th.e public mind at the
North, notwithstanding our most
solemn declarations to the contra
rv. and in the face of constitutional
provisions which we have made,
and the laws we have passed on
this subject. They have the
power and, as I have argued, they
will carry this point. This being
then a foregone conclusion, it will
be wiser, safer and more statesman
like for us at once to yield to the
necessitry, while we m4ay, than to
contend any longer against it.
When this has been done, the agi
tatior. about slavery, which has so
long disturbed the country, and
ha.s orve to be the fruitful cause
of "all ou.r woe," will have run its
course. The party which has fed
exist, fall to pieces, or be compelled
to save itself upon some other
issue, to consolidate its power
upon some other basis. Then the
question of self-government of the
enfranchised race will be put to
the test. Then it will be seen
whether the elective franchise,
when extended to the descendants
of the African race, ignorant and
uneducated as they are, will con
tribute to the preservation of the
liberties of the American people.
to the stability oftheir institutions,
and to the progress of civilization.
Then the ideas of the age, the pro
gressive age in which we live, and
which have so long striven for
mastery and conquest, will be
submitted to the "second sober
thought," subjected to the crucible
of truth. and stand or iall in the
trial. Then. and not till then. may
we hope that a reaction will take
place, that the past will be review
ed, and its errors corrected ; that
thcse humanitarian theories will
be dissipated by the more enlight
ened reason of the times, iike the
mists and vapors of the morning
by the rising sun.
T iversal suffrage being in my
judgment a fixed fact. I shall not
offer an argument as to its expedi
enev-whether it will promote the
aen~eral i.ood.- or whether it is in
tended or wil lead. as President
John:on1 Says. to 'Africanizing the
soltieIn p;art of oM' t..rrory." I
wi m-erely say tl:at I (o nut be
lieve that it will le:d to this result
-that I believe the evil will correct
itself in the future-that property
and il:telligence will finally assert
their supremacy and control over
th:s power in the State. I also re
fer to it again as additional proof of
the progressive spirit which char
acterizes the party who now insist
upon it. President Lincoln was
certainly, during his time, the ex
ponent of the ainflus and opinions
of this great party. In his last
public speech. made at the White
House. when the news had reached
Washington of General Lee's sur
render, he stated that it had been
objected to his policy that in the
Louisiana Government, which
had been established in pur. uance
of it, negro suffrage had not been
allowed. And in answer to this
objection he said, "I would myself
prefer that it (the elective fran
ehise) were now conferred on the
rery intelligent, and on those who
serLed our cause as soldicrs." T his
was as far as he was willin g togo
-what a stride has his party
since taken on this subject !
The provision in the MIilitary
Bill which'disfranchises, in -thie
elections to be held in pursuance
of it, the classes of persons who
are disqualified from holdin.g ofh~ee
by the terms of the Constitutional
iendmienit; is considered1, and
justly too, as very objectionable on
the ground of' th~e injustice of the
discrimination which it makes.
The object of this provision was to
puis the leaders, as they are
calei! of the rebellion. and it pro
~eeded upon the assumpjt ion, that
t hose w ho had been in public life,
who had held ofihces which required
that they should take the oath to
support~the Constitution of the
United States, were the leaders.
Ordinarily this proposition may
hold good. But when I say, that
such was not the fuet in this case.
the remark is made particu'lrl in
relation to the seceSSioni ofSot
Carolina. Here, there wer e no
leaders in the movement, 0r if
there were, they had nearly all
passed from the stag'e of action.
The principles which led to this
result had been deeply implanted
in the minds and hearts of' the
people hy the great men of the
State, who came into public life.
during the first quarter of the pres
ent century--the contemporaries of
Webster and Clay, and their anti
podes in politics. These men, of
whom MIr. Calhoun was the ablest
thinker, educated our people in the
nolitical faith that in our comp)ound
system of government, the State: ]
were the sovereigns and were
united by a compoact of union, the
Federal Constitution. which when
violated by Congress, each State,
judging for itself, had thge right
to annul, and withdrawv from thbe
Union. These men also taugzht
our people that Northern majori
ties had for' a long series of years
legislated for the peculiar in terests 1
of that section, to the neglect and
injury oftheirs, and were aiming 1
to abolish slavery in the States, I
and would do so whenever they
had obtained control of the gov- I
ernent. Under the infiuence of 1
these teachings, when Lincoln was I
elected President, they believedi
that the only cheek upon the ex- 2
ercise of the power which they:
had so i dreadd had been re
would be overthrown. They then
rose up as one man-and deter
mined of their own voluntary
choice to make a practical applca
tion of the principles which ani
mated them, with all the fervor of.
a religious faith-to make the ex
perinent of secession. It was a
great popular movement in which
the people sprung ahead of their
former leaders and demanded of
them the action which was taken.
Under such circumstances, it does
appear hard and oppr'essive that,
where all are equally to blame. or
have incurred equal responsibility,
a distinction should be made
among them in the imposition of
penalties. But viewing this as a
practical question. it is fortunate
that the common guilt of our peo
ple did not bring down upon them
a colnm n punishment. It is cer
tainly much better f>r us in a po
litical view. that universal disfran
chisement has not been visited up
on us; that only a few have been
Placed in this categorv.
These few should not complain
of their silent submission to what
th.oy cannot help will result in the
general good. It is humiliating

Why should one takinn" it feel

when hie suirrendercd his sword to
Gen. Grant?
There are those who insist that
it is our duty to submit the ques
tion of the constitutionality of the
Military Bill to the Supreme Court
of the United States, and await
the decision before any steps are
taken by us towards carrying its
n)rovisions. I have little hope
that the court will entertain juris
diction of the q,uestion, or if it
should, that any good will result
from the proceeding. If I am
not mistaken, it has been the doe
trine of the leading statesmen of
this State, that t he Supreme Court
of the United States is not the
rihtfuil arbiter of such questions
ts'this, questions arising between
the Government of the United
tates and the States, as to the ex
ent of their respective po-wers.
But I will not go into the argtu
ment on that point. .To my mind.
he difliculty in set tli::g thequ
on by a decision of the Suipreme
ourt is. that it has no process or
o-,ver by which ite decisi-on can 1:e
a freti:tan- ether the Unie
*ed tha t CongrPess will yield the.
dont.ifdcie aainst them, an
eCconliz thiese States as States
'ow in the Union, and entitled to

Elow would the Suprm Court
:nforce its de0cision L.aainst Con
ress ? But even supposin that
t should decide tha t the Mdiitary
Bill is unconstitutiona and veld.a
ndi be able to carrys de~Cacision
.nto effect, it would only leave us
where we were before ; it would
til only leave Congress to enact
mother measure of reconstrue
ion. I do not, therefore, see what
~raical good can be gained by
:he suits now pending in that
ourt. Mday there not be reason
o apprehend that they will only
erve to prolong and exasperate
he controversy, and hinder and
iclav our restoration to the Union ?
It is urged by others that we
hould look to the Democratic
artv as a means of securing to us
atter and more honorable terms
> restoration to the Union. I have
dreay touched up on this point in
v bat I have said on t he probability
f the reaction at the North on this
iestion. Persons who take this
iew, it seems to rme, forget or
iverook the history of the Demo
ratic party. The power of that
arty, as a national party, always,
r at least for many years before
he wa.r, resided in the South. So
ong, therefore, as the Southern
ta'tes remai~n unrepresented in the
sovernment, that party is des
ied to remoain in a minority, un
ess a total change of public opin
on sho.uld take place at the North.
.f it was not the very question
i~w before us, they were onestions
kifl to Zt, growir.g ont of the same
rupture of the Democratic party
and secession. The party was
torn asunder because its Northern
wing could not adhere to the prin
ciples of the party, and breast the
storm of popular sentiment that
was raging there. Accordingly.
Ncrthern Democrats began to trim
their sails to the winds, tack about.
and finally abandoned, as the South
thought, the principles of the
party in order to retain power.
The result was that this sacrifi'ce
of principle destreyed the unity
of the party without accomplish
ing the end proposed. It would
indeed be strange after all this, that
we should no7 hinge our hopes]
upon this party. But the truth
is. the party now has no- power,
and never will have any. until the
South is restored to the UnioI
and returns to its fold. We can
not. therefore. rely upon it to aid
us in the present emergency.
I have now gone over the ground
which I intended to occupy in this
comm iuuncation.
Wh%at I have .writen has not
been done with the expectation
tlhat it will he any weight in de
ciding this grIat question ;bt if
it should be the means of aiding
any one n coming to a proper
concision as to his duty in the
tryin circumstances which sur
roun' us. I si:all b. iuch gratified.
I hae no p:urpoCe to serve but nv
cu:iPry s good. My cofnitry ! .I
may be told that I have none.
But I have. The State of South
Carolina is my home, and I feel a
deep. abidingi interest in all that
cgncerns1ner prosperity and the
happiness of her people. She was
one of the Old Thirteen who drew
the sword in '76, and threw off the
dominion of the British Crown.
And notwithstanding her peeul.ar
po iti:;n in the past-her isolation
in the g;rcat struggle of parties
which convulsed the Union in for
me;r days-and although she was
the first to attempt its dissolution,
her people now desire that she
should be restored to her old com
panions, and that a genuine and
lasting reconciliation may follow
that restoration. . They are re
quire."d to recant no political creed
nor to adlopt a new one. They
mar remain State-rights men or
Democrats. as they like. All that
is required of them is to be good
citizens, obey the constitution and
the laws, and faithfully execute
them-to protect the rights and
liberties of all who are entitled to
pr1otection. They feel now that
their rights are insecure-that a
overnment has been established
over them which is contrary to all
the ideas of fret government which

High Rents, Dull Trade, and

These are the cries in nearly iRb
our cities at present. With te
prevailing stagnation in busine,
it must be fatai to the-business of
large numbers, not only of mer
chants. but of heads of fariliee, to
meet the obligations for rent.
Those who relied upon a different
state of things, and yielded to the
demands of landlords last year, in
the hope of struggling through
until times improved, have been
sadly disappointed. The political
troubles of the country are not
adjasted, but get worse and wore,
cousequent'y confidence is not.1t
stored, and all kinds of busine$s
are prostrate. Those who have
been accustomed to comfort, and
even to .luxury. are. now depriving
themselves of the common neees
saiics of life, to meet the demands
ofthe landlord.
We refer to this in no spirit. of
disresNect for the class referred-to.

like trade, must be regulated by
the great law of supply and de
