N,rth ex--e ',.. brave, gaflant denoeracy of that section-not a whisper Wler we were down, when we were being tram;ped upon, when we were being robbed, our republican friends sat silent as the grave and never extended a finger for our relief; but as long as their political allies, the solid republican South, were plying their avocation. everything was love ly and the people bad to submit When ia the course of time, in God's own providence, that nightmare was shaken off by the gigantic efforts of the Anglo-Saxon race and it became democratic, then the hue and cry is raised from one end of the country to the other. 'The c;lid South menaces the liberties of this country,' and ia the language of the Senator from Maine is a wicked, criminal usurpa tion of the rights of the people. -Oh consistency, thou art indeed a jewel. How men's minds and souls and bodies are warped and deformed by the love and lust of political power ! And how conveniently cant and hyprocrisy enable men to shift their political sails and back arid fill before any breeze! I knOw not, Mr. Presid:-, w:.eher the South is solid or not. I do say. however, that so far as our democratic solidity is concerned, she is solid for good government ; she is solid for the honest administratiou of affairs ; she is solid for the education of her ebil dren ; she is solid for development ol her industries; she is solid in en Cauraging the people of all sections ol this country to come and live undez her beautiful climate and partake ol the almost boundless possibilities vJ her future ; she is solid for the peact and order of society, and there is nzt sentiment in the heart of any mat in the South, who is .a man, thai feels a7scintilla of hostility for the col ored race. Why should we ? As th< Senator from Maine said, pathetically they stayed at home while we were al the front in the army of the confed eracy and protected our wives anc children- So they did; and I hopt God may strike me down and para lyze my right arm if I have cherished a sentiment of hostility to those kind hearted people who protected my wife and children. I am not quite prepared to ad.nit however, and the Senators, if thet give expression to their honest senti timents, are not quite prepared t< admit that those people, recently re leased from slavery, are fit to b< judges and governors and legislator and magistrates ; and when the Sen ator from Maine says, 'we educate oui voters in New England;' and says 4why do not you educate yours in th( South?' I throw back to him tho inquiry, that when you had absoluti control of these people, when you wer< reconstructing tbc governments of th( South, when you controlled ever) office from governor to constable 3C dictated every line of the reconstrue Lion measures, why did you not pro vide an educational qualification foi * the suffrage in South Carolina ? The * white people of that State had nc voice in the form and character of the charter which was to be the organic law of their future government ; from which they were to derive protection fQr their lives, their liberties, their families, and their property. They were as voiceless as the tomb and as powerless as the shorn Sampson. SThe Senator says that the civihiza *tion of the South is founded upon the barbarism of slavery. 'Well, Mr. President, it is not amatter of mueb practical consequence at this day and generation who is responsible for sla very in this country; but inasuch as we are making history, as it i. said, (ntvery creditable perhaps,) and in asmuch as the Senator has invited us into this arena, instead of to the bust ings, to discuss the facts of history with him, I will read a letter from Hon. Jeren,iah S. Black to lion. James A. Garfield in 1876 on the subject of slavery. lHe says : The Plymouth colony and the pro vince of Massachusetts Bay were pro slavery to the backbone. If you doubt * this, I refer you to Moore's Hiistory of Slavery in Massachusetts, where the evidence (consisting chiefly of re cords arnd documents perfectly authen ticated) is produced and collated with a fullness and fairness which cannot be questioned. The Plymouth inai grants planted precisely the doctrine which you ascribe to the Jamestown colonists;, ha is to say, they held that 'the negro had no rights of man hood, that the white man might buy, 3 own, and sell him and his offspring forever.' Practieally and theoretically they mainta.iaed that human slavery in its most malignant form was a per '-fectly just, proper, and desirable in. stitution, &e. Then he goes on to say : They executed this theory--(that is the Massachusetts people--) to the * fullest extent in their own wars with the Indians. Without cause or prov ocation, and without notice or warn ing, they fell upon the Pequods, inas sacred many of them, and made slaves of the survivors, without distinction of age or sex. A bout seven hundred, including many women and children, were sent to the West Indies and S there sold on public account, the pro. eeeds being put in the colonial treas nry. Eight score of those unfortu nate people escaped from the butch. ery by flight,s.and afterward gave themselves up, &c. Then he goes on to say that the In dians did not make good slaves, that they were insubordinate, that they were restless; and the good, pious people of Massachusetts sent them to the West Indies to exchange them for blacka moors or Africans. Not content with enslaving the Africans and the Indians, they enslaved the w 'hite heretics who approached their shores and sect them off and ex * changed them for Africans Who are some of the offsprings of* that 'civilization ?'

Admirl Farra gut. whose monument this entire city turned out to see unecovered, was one Of the -barbaiians' who rose from that 'civilization.' He whom the Senate seeks to preserve in enduring brass in a public park of this city was one of the babarians' from that 'civ ilization.' George H. Thomas, for whom you have made an epiestrian statue in one of our handsomest reserva. tions, who led the armies of the Union as perhaps few others of thos. great t-oldiers led them, was another of the lbarbarians' whom the Seiaor now seeks to denounce. Mr. President, I remember when as a boy 1 attended the deliberations of the Senate, and subsequently to have heard something about the 'slave oligarchy,' that it was arrogant, ag gressive, strong. Perhaps it was; I will not argue that ; but one thing I can say for it and its illustrious asso ciates of the North ; in the history of this Government they never plundered the public Treasury, they never or auized 'Credit Mobiliers,' they never made possible 'Black Friday,' they never had five circuit judges of the United States court to resign their aeats under the threat of impeach ment for corruption and fraud, they never had their Representatives kicked out of Congress for 'selling cadet ships,' they never traced corrupt con tracts to the very door of the White (Iouse, they never had race conflicts. they never had rotten borough gov ernments to rob the people, sustain ing them with bayonets, they did not drive American commerce from the high seas to put public plunder in their pockets; their great statesmen never had their debts paid by copora tions and manufacturing companies 1 They way have been aggressive, they may have been strong, they may have been aarogaut, bet none of these sins that I have euuwerated, and many more that I might enumerate from re publican history, can be laid at their doors truthfully. The Senator tells us about an 'ir repressible conflict' Yes, sir, there was an irrepressible conflict between free and slave labor. They were two civilizations 'moving toward each other on coverging lines. Tney met 5 at Fort Sumter and there the cow - bustion took place, the issqe was r joined. Then for four years there was a 'battle of the giants,' such a battle as the world has oever seen ; until at Appomattox one giant fell covered with wounds and blood and fatigue and want and exhaustion. He sur rendered ; and with that was buried that 'irrepressible conflict.' Down i with it, forever and for aye, went the -institution of slavery; and I am glad -of it. Down with it in a grave of -I blood and ruin and confusion went the institution, and there ended that 'irrepressible conflict.' It ended as 1 had supposed forever; it has ended forever; but let me warn that Senator that another 'irrepressible conflict' has arisen in this country, not between African slavery and freedom, but it is a conflict on the one hand between the people for their liberties, and arro gant, bloated corporate power and mo nopoly on the other hand. That is another 'irrepressible conflict, to which I invite the attention of the Senator. When he said, 'How easy it is to shaoot labor ground down with a hun dred years of slavery,' he forgot how laber was shot not more than four years ago at Pittsburgh, at Chicago, and at other places; labor that had never been and never will be 'ground down' with slavery. Oh, but the Senator would have us understand that they are only poor white me chanics, a -lawle.ss mob,' as another republican Senator styles them, who ought to be shot when they do not obey the behests of corporate powers. They asked you for justice and you give them-shot and.shell. They asked you for food and you give them a stone. They asked you for labor and you give them the highway and tell them to support their wives and chil dren upon tramping and fresh air. Unfortunate allusion of the Senator ! In this very morning's paper I see that 'irrepressible conflict' still going on-strikes at Milwaukee, strikes at Saint Louis, strikes in other large cities, of the free-born, liberty loving white men of the North against the aggressive, bloated plutocracy which is seeking to grind them to the dust. That is an 'irrepressible conflict.' No, sir, we -do not shoot labor at the South, and if the honorable Sen ator from Maine will go with me I will show him men with the plow handles in their hands, as good and intelligent and as proud as lhe dare be. The laboring man of the South does not know what hunger, cold, and want are. The Senator says that we of the South cannot longer -blindfold' the people of the North. We are not seeking to do so. We have never sought to do so. We wish the peo ple of the North had seen and could see the condition of things at the South, and we wish the people of the South could see the real condition of things at the North. We want the light of truth turned on all over this land. And let me say to the Senator in reply, he cannot throw dust in the eyes of the freemen of the North, and keep them longer in the dark as to the shorteowings of republicanu meth ods and policies by abusing and mis representing the South. They are beginning to have eyes to see and ears to hear, and they see and hear, and his 'cuttle-fish' tactics had better be abandoned.

Quite a sensation has been pro duced in political circles by the re signation of Roscoe Conkling and Thomas C. Platt, U. S. Senators from New York. There has been war between Conkling and Presi. dent Garfield since the beginning of the extra session. Indeed, there was never much love between them. Conkling led the Grant forces at the Chicago Convention in 1880 and held the solid phalanx of 306 for the General until the Blaine and Garfield combination broke the deadlock, aud ran up Garfield from one vote to an overwhelming nomi nation. Conkling was not only de feated, but he was thoroughly dis gusted, and for a long time refused to take any part in the campaign. A truce was patched up, however, by which, (Conkling's friends say), he was promised all sorts of execu tive favors if he would help to carry New York for Gal fi(ld. He then went into the campaign and did effective work. After the election Garfield sent for Conkling and ask ed his advice about New York ap pointments. Garfield stated that he would make no material change.; but in a few days, without ccnsult ing with either of the New York Senators, he , ent in the nomination of Robertson, a bitter foe of Conk liDg, for Collector at New York, with several other New York nomiuations pleasing to the lordly Senator. Then the war began iD earnest ; Conkling appealed to "tlI courtesy of thn Senate" which al lows a Senator of a State for which a nomination is made to hold it over till the next session ; he sought the aid of the Democrats and of the Republican caueus to d sfeat the nomination. Garfield then with. drew all the New York nominations except that of Robertson, and thus made a square issue with the Sena tor. The Republican Senators, fearing to offend the President and thus lose the patronage of their States, sided with Garfield. The Republican caucus said, let every Senator vote according to his judg nment. The Democrats, glad of the opportunity to "cut the comb" of the strutting Senator, also sided with the President. Conkling found himself helpless, beaten. To a man who had hitherto carried things with a high hand it was a severe blow, and a humiliating de feat. Monday, the 16th, he oent his resignation as Senator to the Gov. ernor of New York, and notified the Vice President of his action. Platt did likewise. He expects to be re elected immediately, and no doubt will be. Had he not been satisfied of it he would not have re signed. His re election, he thinks, will vindicate his course and 'ebuke the President. The Democrats are jubilant over the turn affairs have taken ; they regard -it as an irreparable breach between the two wings of the New York Republicans. It does not appear to be at all certain that either Conkling or Platt will be re elected. The New York Legislature will hold the elec tion the 31st instant. It is said that many Republicans will join the Demo'crats in defeating the election of these two spoiled pets of Grant. ism. The UT. S. Senate adjourned Fri day, 20th, having been in session since the 4th of Mar-ch. One of its last acts was to reject the nomina tion of Won. E. Chandler as Solici tor General. The Readjuster bomb seems to have been all fuse. It sputtered and fizzed awvfully, but while every body was awaiting the explosion vith breathless anxiety it went out. Col. Tnos. A.

Wi fs. the editcr for the past yez. of the Greenville Aew.& has bought the paper from the former publisbers, Messrs. Richardson, Lucas & Co., and is now sole proprietor. Since Mr Williams' connection with the Efecw it has been a real live paper, with ideas and convictions of its own Mr. Williams became so well knowr to the reading public while on thE Charleston Yews and Courier stafi especially through his interestinE letters from Liberia, that it woul< be superfluous to speak of his abili ty as a writer. He is one of thos untiring, persevering men who ar not content with their work until i is well done. It is said that a goo( reporter does not make a good edi tor. Perhaps he does not make ; mo:lel editor; because it is the pro vince of the average editor to b heavy, stupid, stilty and d-ill, whil a reporter, if he is fit for his posi tion, must be bright, natural an( entertaining. A good reportei however, does make a goo-1 editor and Mr. Williams has made a goo( editor. His editorials are alway worth reading, and they are read able. The course of the News has bee: marked by perfect consistency, an< and qn unwavering devotion to th best interests of South Carolina and the Democratic party. Mr. Williams promises to mak improvements in the News, and t make it a paper worthy the patron age of the up country. We wis him success in his attempts ; w want to see a real, first class dail in the up country, and we believ the Greenville News will becom that daily at no distant day. Suicides. Geo. Reincke, a German tailor c Charleston, committed suicide th 20th instant by taking laudanum. Mr. T. M. Stokes, a respectei citizen of Jacksonboro, this Stat< committed suicide a few days ag by shooting himself through th head. Dr. Joseph Bellinger, of Barn well, committed suicide the 13t instant by taking a large amoun of morphine 4nd chloral. This wa his second attempt. No cause as signed. Jno. Schmit, a German, 48 year old, committed suicide in Richmion the 16th by taking laudanum. H was tried for petty larceny-stealin meat-convicted, and sentenced t twenty lashes. On the trial he trio to prove that he broke open a hous to steal the meat, so as to makei a penitentiary offense, preferring long confinement in the peniter tiary to the whipping post. Smari ing under the disgrace of the whir ping he killed himself. A stranger who registered a Henry Parms, Denver, Colorad< committed suicide the 14th at Tiir mons' Hotel, Cheraw, S. C., by cut ting his throat with a pocket knife He was a man of gentlemanly ad dress, intelligent and apparentl; well to do, and was about thirt; years of age. He had $850 in hi pockets. This fact renders the sui cide inexplicable : the idea of a mal with $850 killing himself is perfect ly preposterous. There must hay been some very great burden on hi mind, or he was temporarily in sane. State News. Rev. 0. A. Darby has been elect ed President of the Columbia Fe male College.
