A Lesson to Politicians. The following is from the Savannah .Netcs. The italics are our own and we request our readers to peruse that emphasized pasage twice and very slowly: "A large number of the leading business men of New York, with a view of seeking the best available in- I formation upon, and, if possible, to find the true, scientific solution of the currency question, and to dissem inate such information, when found, among the people, have agreed to form a uational pure money league. The call for the first meeting, which is to be held to-iay, is signed by George Opdyke, David Dudley Field, Erastus Brooks, Whitelaw Reid, Park Godwin, * and others equally well known." - It will be remembered that during the last fall campaign in the States of Ohi-o, Pennsylvania and New York, the financial question was, in fact, the * -only question upon which the election hinged. In Ohio and Pennsylvania, hard money and contraction was ad vocated by the Republican party, and Iif New York by t'he Democrats. The hard money party prevailed; there was no other issue. As soon as Con gress assembled the condition of the country had become such that it was evident that the resumption of specie payment could not be brought about at the time limited by Act of Congress without the greatest injury to the in terests of the people, and the two par ties have ever since been endeavoring to effect a compromise without any result. Now, during that campaign the hard money men called the infia tionists highway robbers-who in tended to cheat the capitalists of their well earned interest on their bond in vestments, and who besides would if their doctrines prevailed destroy the credit and compromise the honor of the nation. The infiationists-as they were denominated-called the oppo site party thieves, who would steal the last cent out of a poor man's pocket and would, in cold blood, allow widows and orphans to starve. Hard inoney and rag babies were thrown at each other until the Heavens were obscured. Each party was confident that their doctrine was the correct one, that it was impos sible to entertain a doubt-and now eminent lawyers, bankers, financiers and political'economists form a league, for what-to find the true solution of the currency question, if possible. T'hey not only acknowledge their igno ance, but doubt whether that igno ange can ever be removed. What a lesson to politicians, who express their opinioas with such confidence and de nounce those who differ from them as men without character, thieves, !!ars, rascals and fools. Is it not time in this age of civilization-save the mark-I that we treat the opinions of others with' respect, speak deliberately, and reason without calumny or personal reflection. On every other subject men will dis cuss the opinion of others dispassion ately, but when a question of politics is brought forward we seem to loose our judgment and our charity, and treat an opponent as an enemy of man kind. Politis-if any science at all -is the most complicated of sciences; on no subject should our judgments be formed without more consideration or expressed with more diffidence; on no subject should opposite opinions be treated with more charity and credit given to honesty of conviction. We -sincerely hope that this Centennial year will teach this lesson so much needed. All the nations will assemb)le on this continet anrl then we may All Roads Lead to Rome. The Neics & Courier thinks the elimax is capped by the following transaction of our President, as shown in the following announcement: "Ex-Attorney-General Williams was examined by the House committee on expenditures in the department of justice, and testified to the payment to Juo. J. Davenport, former United States Commissioner in New York, out of the secret service funds, of $30, 000 for election purposes. Upon be ing pressed, Judge Williams acknow ledged that the money was paid by the direct order of the President." The subjoined from the Nashville American, is a feather stuck in the cap which waves a foot, a foot and a half may be two feet above the said clim,-x : "in Hartford, Connecticut, last Fri day evening, United States Senator William E. Eaton addressed an au dience of some twenty-five hundred. In the course of his speech he made a rather startling announcement concern ing a matter which he said had not been as yet made public, but with which he was "thoroughly convers. ant." and its substance was that when the New Orleans whisky ring comes to be exposed St. Louis and other Western cases of this class would seem insignificant, for in New Orleans frauds would be traced directly to the White House and to President Grant, who was familiar with all the facts. He claimed further, that men who had gone there to ferret out the facts had been killed, and that the Attorney General had refused to take steps to ward punishing the murderers. He knew this to be true, and he knew that the Attorney-General and Presi dent also knew it." Poor Blaine has got into trouble. He is accused of having received some $60,000 in a crooked way. The Demo crats are charged with having originated the accusation for political purposes. Mr. Harrison, however, who has started the matter, and desires to keep the de tails c' the transaction a secret until he is called upon to give his testimony before the Congressional investigating committee, is a thorough Republican. We must, however, not omit to state that Harrison is a strong friend of Morton, anothier candidate for Presi dential honors, and therefore, his im prssions may be slightly biased. We hope that Blaine may prove innocent of the charges; we have corruption scandal enough to keep up with. Blane is a political trickster, and, therefore, we do not want to see him made President; but we always thought him too cunning if not too honest to accept a bribe. We are sorry to say that the Sun poet does not believe much in his in nocence. Hear him: .Jim. Wha-at-Jim? Jim Blaine? Got him? Great Cain! Jim Blaine Of the State of Maine, Smartest cnss in out of the rain Got him? Our Jim, Cheeky Jim, Full to the brim Of brass and sass, and pluck and vim Got Jim? Why he's the festive little pill That went through estawampous Hill And made the chivalry so ill; He st-le Ulysses' little squirt, And put on Morton's bloody shirt; Hammered Conkling's.bump of gumption, Walloped Hayes out of resumption, Whitened Butler's gory locks, And put a black eye on Sam Cox. Got him! Our Jim Jim Blaine Of the State of Maine; Will somebody please explain ? We clip the following very pertinent remarks in reference to the Chinese California immigration question from the Charleston News and C'ourier: It should not be forgotten that the very people who clamor against the Chine.se,because they are pagans, helped to thrust upon the white communities of the South the eight hundred thous an African voters whom the war set free. The African is lower in the ethnological scale than the Asiatic. The Caucasian is farther removed from the negro than from the Chinese. And the Africans, less'fitted for citi zenship than the Chinese are, were made voters everywhere, and absolute rulers in some of the fairest States of the South. The constitutional amend went which was intended to pre vent discrimination against the negro prevents discrimination against the Asiatic. As they made the bed the people of the Pacific slope must lie on The incursion of the Asiatic catises us no alarm. There is room for them and for millions like them. And if their illegibility to citizenship should strengthen the conviction that qualified and impartial suffrage is necessary to the public safety, and if their coming should reduce the cost of articles of prime necessity, the so-called invasion will be far more of a benefit than an injury to the Republic. Cheap labor cannot injure us, but unqualified suffrage has done so ever since emancipation. . If a wholesale Chinese immigration will be instra mental in bringing about that object, let us have Ah Shin's cousins to the 20th degree. Editorial Review. Governor Smith, of Georgia, will not be a candidate for re-election. Spartanburg, according to the Spar tan, keeps on improving-quietly but steadily. Gen. Schofield has accepted the position of Superintendent of the West Point Military Academy. Gov. Chamberlain has accepted the resignation of Attorney-General Mel ton-to take effect on the 1st of May. General John Howard, of Graham vilie, Beaufort County, was foully murdered last week while returning home from the village. It was evi dently done for the purpose of robbe ry. These robbery-murders are fear fully on the increase in the State. The NineLy-Six Herald is out again under the management of Mr. R. P. Quarles. The Spartan thinks Nine ty-Six will never support a paper until the Spartanburg & Augusta R. R., is built. We hope the new paper will live to bring aobut the building of the above mentioned Railroad. The following named gentlemen were nominated delegates from Edge field to the Democratic Convention: M. W. Gary, M. C. Butler, G. D. Tillman, L. Charlton, Jas. Callison, M. L. Bonham, H. A. Shaw, J. C. Sheppard, J. H. Brooks, T. G. Bacon, J. R. Abney, W. H. Timmerman. Now that the four-cornered fight for Mayor of Columbia is over, they are having another warfare about the chief of police. Sorne say Nixon is worth Nix, and the other candidates are no better. We know where they could find an excellent one, but we don't wish to see Newberry deprived of his services. Judge Barrett has decided that stock transactions are outside of the law and amount to gambling. Jay Gould escaped by this decision from paying $53,000 and interest which be lost on a gold speculation during the famous Black Friday. Are transac tions in cotton futures of a different character ? We merely ask. Thie Columbia Register says : "The Executive Committee of the State Agricultural and Mechanical Society request the delegates from the grange~ to meet themi in Columbia to confer with them on the 5th May next, in stead of the 6th, as previously agreed upon. The 6th falls on Sunday. Oui contemporaries are requested to extend this notice. Kilbourn, the recusant witness, who had refused to give his testimony be fore a Congressional Committee, took out a writ of habeas corpus. The writ was served on the sergeant-at-arms, who asked the advice of the House as to his action in the premises. The -House by a vote of 165 to 75 directed him to make return to the writ and to produce the body of Kilbourn before the court. When Belknap was called before the c'ourt of impeachment to answer to the charges, he pleaded to the jurisdiction of the Senate, stating that at the time the articles of impeachment were pre sented against him by the House of Representatives he was not an officer of the United States but only a private citi zen. It will be remembered that Bel knap immediately after his exposure tendered his resignation, which the President in hot haste accepted, so as to screen his favorite from punish ment. The managers were granted time- to consider what reply to make. The following is from our neighbor of the Spartanburg Berald: "The an nual meeting of the State Press Asso ciation, on the 10th of May, is to be held in Spartanburg. The time is drawing near, and we would remind our brethren of the Press of the fact and urge them to make their arrange ments to attend. We hope every raember of the Press iz the State wil] put in an appearance on that occasion. We extend a cordial invitation to one and all, and promise that our people will do -all in their power to make their visit pleasant and agreeable." The Spartan likewise extends a hearty invitation. We learn from the Union-Berald that preliminary arrangements have been made for the speedy re-opening of the South. Carolina Institution for the Deaf, Dumb and Blind, at Cedar Springs, Spartanburg County. Mr. Newton F. Walker has been appointed Superintendent. We are glad that humanity has prevailed over political bias. It will be remembered that the Institution was sometime ago shut up because it was asserted that the prin ipal had been partial in the selection of the pupils, and had not searched out with sufficient diligence all the little deaf, dumb and blind piccanin nies-a charge which was proved alto gether unfounded. "The North Presbyterian Church of Piadelpnhia hasexpenlled a member Church forbid the connexiou of its I members with an order whose avowed object is well regulated charity, whose teachings are based upon high morality, and Christianity itself, and whose work is auxiliary to religion. We apprehend, however, no danger that any church member of this plac- will be expelled on account of their affilia tion with that beneficent order. FOR THE HERALD.

Savannah, OA. FOR THz HERALD. POMARIA, April 20th, 1876. MR. EDITOR:-Several articles b3 "Countryman" have lately appeared ir your paper, discoursing very elaborate: upon the futility of reorganizing tb Democratic party in South Caiolina a the present time. He admits our pres ent fallen condition-that official an< personal corruption stalk abroad-tha our liberties and our private rights ar< daily trampled upon-that everything we esteem pi-ecious is overthrown an< confiscated-that our progress in th( road to knowledge and science i thwarted-that everything tends to ruir and disgrace-that we are a tax-op pressed and overburdened people-tha reform in the State and municipal office is sadly needed-and strange, yea, pass ing strange, he urges us to join the Re publican party, or rather nominat honest men from that party, that w may cleanse the Augean stables. Witl all due deference to "Countryman's intelligence, we ask him, "Are vol joking?" You are surely mistaken i your opinion. Has not that been tried and what was the result? Why, th rascality, the fraud, the jobbery, th< corruption, the very evils which he de nounces as disgraceful, had their origit in the Republican party. Then shal we unite with them and be contaminate( by their evil associations? Nothin seems more preposterous. The last de cade shows what will result if Republi canism is allowed to triumph in th next election. When the virtues were once enclosed and Pandora's curiosity led her to ope: the box, she thus permitted all to escap save one, the greatest boon to the hu man race-hope. And without this w can never expect to accomplish any c our designs. If we throw away tha incentive, all our endeavors will prov useless. It seems tbat hope has fie the bosom of "Countryman"-that th spirit of despair has settled heavily up on him. We are sorry of this, as wi are fortunate in knowing who "Country man" is, and we would have though that he would have been the last t throw up the Dag of despondency. 2 man who has often led his little han io victory ought never to think of fal tering when eternal consequences ar at stake. If the people of South Carc lina give up all hope, defeat is om-s-w will never he free. If we wish to ri ourselves we must strike the blow wit our own hands-"make personal sacr fices," labor for the public weal, mak all things subservient to the country' welfare-and we believe it is the seriou intention of the Democratic party to d this. We must never despair-ours i a just cause-and "thrice is he arme that hath his quarrel just;" and we ca: never expect great deeds to be pei formed, immortal honors gained nor State to be redeemed without dust an heat. Let us remember that the batti is not always-'t the swift, nor to th strong. Does the Republican party eve dream of giving up? No, they entex tain no such thought; on the othe they are ever hopeful and persevering and consequently victorious-. What means this recent split in th Republican party? It is ominous. ] shows that there is a certain class c politicians among them who are con strained by their love of decency, justice good government, and for the sake c everything that is near and dear t them, to come out from the thievin; crew. It is evidently a house divide' egainst itself. Again. "Countryman" gloomily say we are in the minority-"hopelessly il the minority." What if we are? Whi were the minority on the famous plain of Marathon, and who were the victors Who were the minority in the renowne4 naval battle of Salamis, and again, wh< were victorious? Yes, though Xerxes their arrogant monarch was seated upoi his throne and by his presence urgini his men on, nevertheless that sinal band of valiant, confident Greeks-con fident even in their small number c troops-engaged and utterly overthrev the enemy's iteet. They toiled agains odds and numbers. Ye despairing ones read this and be inspired with hope Ye sons of Carolina, emulate these ex amples. And shall we forget the wis< lesson taught us by one of our own sis ter States? Think upon the conditioi of Mississippi before her last election and then with delight notice hc triumphs. South Carolina has marche4 hand mn hand with her in her country' battles, then why not follow her in he political conquests? That we are in th minority is one of the strongest reason: why we should work the more strenu ously. It should inspire us with doubi zeal and diligence. In our humble opinion we believi that by well directed steps, by organizing the Democratic party, and nominatial men of undoubted probity, we will suc ceed. "Where there's a will there's : way." Determination, with a consid erabe quantity of perseverance, il consign Radicalism at the next electiox to an ignominious grave forever in South Carolina. The Republicans know* -we are in the minoity. They have the unblushing impudence "to tell us that we are weak and unable to cope" with them. Now it the language of our "forest-born Demos, thenes," "when shall we be stronger?' Will it be at the election of 1878? Wilt it be when we have thrown up our hands in despair? "Will we gather spiengti by irre.solhdion and inaction ?" Will we become stropger by lying "supinely ora our backs" when the Republicans ar~e measiduul engaged in fortifying thenm I remain mere idle "spectators" in this contest. It does matter to us who will be our next President. Ask Louisiana if it matters who is President of the Uni ted States. Buckling on the armor of courage, with a hopeful and determined t will, the fall of this Centennial year - will achieve for us one of the grandest victories'of the age-a victory of truth over falsehood, of honesty over dis honesty. "Labor omnia vincent" is a refreshing adage. Then when this shall have been accomplished how sweet will be our rest-with what enjoyment can we quietly return to our repose, with the satisfaction that all is well without; that our granaries,meat and flour houses, L and even our dwellings are free from molestation, when the incendiary's torch will no more be kindled. Then we can "move in the even tenor of our way," and no one "daA molest us or make us afraid." South Carolina is too dear to us; the love of country burns too strongly in our breast for us to stand idly by and see these blood-hounds of corruption I feed on her precious vitals. These Pro methean vultures must be driven away, and the Hercules that is to accomplish this work is the Democratic party. Then, young men of Carolina, never give up the ship. Stand by this good old State at all times; sacrifice life it self if necessary for liberation. Never forsake her-even when adversity's dark - mantle is thrown over her, when de 1 spair, thick, heavy, dark despair is en 1 shrouding her, hold fast the slender i cords that bind her together, yea, "Till danger's troubled night Is o'er And the star of peace returns." - POMARTA. FOR THE HERALD. Our Washington Letter. WASHINGTON, D. C., april 18, 1876. THE ARRAIGNMENT OF BELKNAP. 3 Contrary to general expectation f General William W. Belknap, late t Secretary of War, appeared in person e at the bar of the Senate on Monday, the 17th inst., to answer to the arti cles of impeachment exhibited against him by the House of Representatives. It was believed he would not respond t to the summons of the Senate in pro > pria persona ; as, strictly speaking, t he was not required to do so. He could, had he so wished; have appear ed by counsel, which would have been entirely satisfactory to the Senate sit ting as a High Court of Impeachment; Sbut he was advised by his lawyers to 2 put on a-bold front, and, by his pres . ence, endeavor to impress the court a with the fact that he was not afraid s to confront either it or his accusers. 8 It must be confessed that he went ' through the ordeal remarkably well. Ex- Senator Matt. H. Carpenter is the senior counsel in the case, and will probably take a leading part in the a trial. The Chairman of the impeach I ment managers on the ,part of the s House of Representatives, is Hon. e Scott Lord, representative from the r twenty-third Congressional district (Oneida County) of New York. NEW YORK IN THE NEXT ELECTION. In every Presidential election there a has been some State, or group of States, t on whose electoral votes success seemed fto hang. In days past, Ohio and - Pennsylvania have each, at certain pe riods, occupied this enviable and comn ~manding position. At present, every indcaio semstopoint t the Empire SState as the one in which a majority will be most useful to the election of a Scandidate, and most certain to insure Sthe defeat of his opponent. The New > York ,Sun of late date has the follow Sing short-pointed editorial bearing on Sthe subject. The Sun's views are sound, and, while it perhaps recomn mends the selection of the aristocratic Iand subserveint New York Senator, Sbecause it thinks him likely to be an easy opponent for the Democracy to - beat, yet, what is said of his State can f not be gainsaid. Here is the para r graph: t There is one argument in favor of ,Mr. Conkling's nomination which his -supporters have not urged with ade - quate zeal. It is just sixty years since the party opposed to the Democracy selected its Presidential candidate from the State of New York. In 1816, the Federalists rat, Rufus King,-of this State, as a sort of forlorn hope against James Monroe, but without the slightest expectation of electing him. T0 the long period which has since intervened, and during which the Federalists passed away and the Whig party rose, and, after an illus - trious career, disappeared, and the Re publican party was formed and finally came into power and has ruled the country for sixteen years, the Presi dential candidate of the anti-Demo cratic party has never been a citizen of New York. .Ad yet, all through this eventful epoch in the history of the nation. New York has been, in every particular, the foremost State in the Union, and at nearly every Presidential election her vote has de cided the con test. The italics are mine, and will serve to call the reader's attention~ more emphatically to the fact, that New York has, for a half a century, had the casting and decisive vote in every Presidential election. In view of these facts. it would be well for the St. Louis convention, while selecting a man of pure and irreproachable personal char ter (and none other can he elected, in the present temper of the people,) to see to it that be can carry the Empire on a ThL - At .w'l1 be solid for FOR THE HERALD. The Hope of the Country.
