. Silent Politicians.
The ooutributoriul editor of tho " York ville
?uquiror," in liis quaint style, thus notice*
the silont politicians at tho present junctuio.
Tho notico ia well worth roadiug :
Somo of oar contemporaries express sur
prise at tho' fact that many of our hitherto
voluminous advisors nod country-savers are
now silont-now, when, if over, we need the
advico .md, wlsdoih of oxporieiu;o to'guide us.
It docs not surpriso us.
Tho ease is u vory.cloar one.
If you have ever so.cn a coon up a tree while j
tho? hunter was ohoppiug at tho tree, and j
watched his course, you can rcully understand
tho point of our illustration.
Tho coon ?eis high up iu the tree, among
tho topmost boughs, and soloots a fork. Ho j
keeps in thia fork, keenly eyeing both th?
dogs and tho axeman, especially tho latter.
After the tree, begins to totter and fairly to
start over to ono sido-and 'there is no longer
u doubt which way the treo will fall-ho
jumps. j
Our sileut politicians aro like tho coon.
"Whenever it becomes perfectly apparent
whioh way political affairs arc going to turu,
thon these Solong will speak out vociferously,
as soon aj it is safe for them to do so.
. Mark theso men-theso silent Solons. They
aro cowards, and wc want bravo men iu times
liko those.
Oov. Perry is a brjxvo man. He may bo
wrong-wo believe some of his conclusions
arc-but wo a thousand times profcrsuch men
to thoso cowardly coon-politioian who are wait
ing uutil we aro ruined, in order that they
may sec what advico will be most profitable to
them to give us.
Awoy with such patriotism.
To tho dogs with such politios.
If inaction is thc true policy, let them say
so.
If they bolievo in radicalism, let them an
oouoco it now.
If Gov. Perry is right, let them say so.
Hero half a dozen men have spoken, after
months of agony and tyranny. Aro theso
half a dozen all our political leaders 1
Indeed, soven years ago, after secession was
an inevitable fact, wo had eloquent speakers,
and advisers, and country-savors, so many that
with a do/.cu each night, it took a month to
hear their speeches and all their advice.
Where aro all these men ?
A few of them sleep on the battle fields ;
hut thc great body of those eloquent uieu nev
er got sleepy iu that way.
Eternal silenco, it is true, would become
them well; but knowing that they are ready
(ns soon os thc tree begins to fall) to jump to
thc front and tell vis all about it, we deem it
proper to call their attention to the Bubject
now.
Col. Wm. C. Preston (peace to his honored
memory) onco described certain of our politi
cians as resembling the sea gull-that the sea
gull, buffeted, driven and dashed onward by
thc viol?"" ?.c of thc storm at sea, seeks a foot
hold at ..ist upon sonvb jutting crag, and look
ing back upon thc tempest-the troubled wa
ters beneath aud thc thundering clouds above
-and fancies, poor thing, that it is leading
?that storm ? .
Did any of our readers over see ouc of those
political gulls ?

prinolplos and politics are oil gono forever.
Tho hope and aspiration of their souls aro lost
They aro baffled, defeated, humiliated, con
quored. For ono, I have" it not in my hear
t to pursue tho system of confiscation, or anj
other syBtom, that shall bear harder than those
'that havo already been adopted to bring them
into tho country, and make them a part of thc
country. I don't want an Ireland or Poland
'in America. [Applause.]
[S?ieech at Saratoga.
CHARLESTON, August 8.-Gen. Sickles
has issued an order in relation to certain
(moneys advanced by South Carolina banks,
during tho war, for tho purchase of horses for
tho Confederate service, but which, not being
expended, had been distributed since tho war,
under a chancery decree, among banks ami
other claimants. Thc order annuls the decree
as a fraud against tho United States, and op.
points a receiver, on the part of tho Govern
ment, to whom thc funds distributed, inclu
ding costs and fees of counsel, are to be repaid.
Tho receiver is directed to report promptly
any delinquency or obstruction, on tho part of
individuals or corporations, in thc way of tho
execution of tho order.
In Mr. Picrrepont's speech in the Surrult
trial, he tells a story which will interest tho
students of spirtOal sei nice. On tho morn
ing of the assassination of Mr. Lincoln, there
was a Cabinet meeting tho members of thc
Administration were joyous over tho surren
der of Lee. Mr. Lincoln expressed anxiety
about Sherman, and when Grant assured him
that Sherman was all right, ho replied by de
taining a dream which he had hud previous lo
Chancellorsville, Stone Uiver and olher de
feats. Thc recurrence of tho dream led him
to dread tho rccurrcnoo of disaster. It came ;
but instead of calamity to our armies, it was
lija ow,n assassination. The supernatural war
nings that came to Saul, and Pompey, and
Cioaar, soon to havo n'so como to Lincoln.
Truly, there aro mor/ things in Heaven and
earth than aro dreamt of in our philosophy.

Publio Meeting at Walhalla
According to previous announcement, a
large number of colored people assembled at
Walhalla, on Friday last. They formed in
procession and marched to thc grove, at the
upper ctul of town, where preparation had
been made for public speaking.
After order had been restored, Mr. PlEPEli
introduced Col. W. D. WtEK.ES, of Anderson,
who delivered a lengthy and very appropriate
speech on thc occasion.
Several colored persons made remarks in a
spirit of kindness and sympathy for bot h races.
A considerable number of white persons
were present.
Tho colored people spread their pic nie in
a pleasant spot near by, and seemed to enjoy
it with moderation and good order. They
prepared a separate table for their invited '
guests, and were assiduous in their attention
to them.
Tho colored people demeaned themselves
well on this occasion. It was reserved for
their white friends to getup an unpremedita
ted row late in tho day. " John Barleycorn"
was, we think, to blame for tho disturbance.
Mr. PlEPKU, the Intendant, had tho "inns"
closed up, during thc day, and was earnest in
his endeavors to preserve tho peace?
In Charleston, on tho 9th instant,
cotton was quoted at 21 to 27 ; corn, 81.25 to
$1.40 ; flour. 810.00 to 812.00; wheat, 82 to
$2.30; bacon, 14 to 18; salt, 82.50 por sack.
tUdr The United States Government paid
out, in the year 1864, 825,000,000 for tho
support of our Western military posts, and in
tho year following thc nmount was inorcascd
to 857,000,000. According to present esti

In this connection, a correspondent of the

! " lt is said that Secretary Sowavd^s not

aro about to strivo to save Stanty^glicad

thought of removing Stanton^ Weed's mic
Raymond's influence, coupled with Seward'!
entreaties, induced tho President to arandin
tho idea. Seward, at that time, urguod tba
Stanton had been a very badly abnse? man
; and that, though bc might have coiniuittoi
small oflences, still, in view of his prent ser
vices, such trilles should be overlooked. I
is now said by the friends of tho Presiden
that Stanton's offences ai o not moro trifles
but amount to u deliberate system of thwart
inc the President, obstructing his pojicy i
every way, and insulting him repeatedly i

claimed, has determined to tolerate mis n
longer, and has put his foot down firmly."

wixed Facts.
The " Cheraw Advertiser," which hus per
sistently opposed tho reconstruction measures
of Congress, says that thc following arc fixed
facts :
" First, that a convention will be called in
I this .Statu by an overwhelming majority, nnd
that tho constitution framed by that conven
tion will bc mit ??cd by alilce majority. Near
j ly one-half of thc white voters arc di&fran
I chiscd by tho last explanatory supplementary
Act; but if there was no disfranchisement,
thc colored vote will bc a unit, which would
of itself call a convention. In addition to tho
colored vole, however, we think it safe to add
a majority of thc white vote to that of the
colored in favor of a convention.
" Tn thc next place, the constitution framed
b> thc convention will be adopted by thc pop
ular vote by a similar majority to that for thc
call of a convention.
" Tho next fixed fact is, that tho State will
be reconstructed tn full accordance with thc
Act an) its supplements; that is, it will bo
thoroughly radicalized-will elect a radical
delegation to Congress, and cast a radical vote
in the next Presidential election. If these
are fixed facts, as wc suppose, tho next fixed
fact is, at thc meeting of Congress in Dcccm
|1)cr, tlic constitution adopted by the people
will be approved by Congress, and the Sena
tors and Representatives will bc admitted at
once to their scats in that body. Thus thc
leader in the rebellion-the first State that at
tempted to withdraw from the Union-will be
thc first to get back out of tho cold."
If these arc facts, and wc believe they arc,
why spend breath, why foment discord and
keep alive party spirit, in discussing recon
struction. Rather let us improve tho hour in
securing competent,^reliable maj, to represent
Tho other d iy, wc accidentally came across
a passogo io the speech of the Hon. GEORGE
MCDUKKIK, which possesses o curious interest
at this time. The clorpaent words in which
he denounces thc crime of assassination will
find a response in thc heart of every honora
ble man, while his remarkable prediction in
reference to the assassination of a President of
the United States deserves to be brought to
thc attention of tho whole country. In his
own words, ?< God forbid that it should be
prophetic."
Thc idea of assassination is so absolutely
abhorrent to all the feelings, thc Christian
feelings, of modern times, and of such perni
cious tendency, that 1 feel it to be my duty
thus unequivocally to express my utter abhor
rence of every proceeding that may have the
remotest.tondonoy to suggost tho idea of as
sassinating tho Chief Magistrate. Such n
course is not only obnoxious to thc abhorrence
of. every honorable man, from its moral atroc
ity, but from its political tondoncy. livery
mau who will attentively road the history ol'
revolutionary France, will be satisfied that thc
projectors of the infernal machine, more than
all his own parti/.ans, civil and military, con
tributed co elevate Napoleon Bonaparte from
thc chair of tho consuh.to to tho throne of thc
empire. I will make ono conoludiug remark
on the subject-God forbid that it should bc
prophetic-and it is, that if, in tho midst of
a violent political excitement, it ever should
occur tba6 a President of tho United States
should be assossiniitcd, ho will bo tho last con
stitutional President, and his blood will ce
rnen* t>!?c despotic throne of his successor."

STORY WITH A MORAL.-When GoncrnV
! Jackson was moving on to strike McClellan's
j Hank oil tho Chickahominy, bo came to a
' stream which had no bridge, and could not be
j crossed without one. Tho General had
brought with him from tho valley, a rough
uneducated man, full of energy, who had
i the utmost confidence. He called this man,
j told Ililli that stream must bc bridged imme
diately ; thc regular engineers were also ad
vised of ttte fact. In a short time tho rough
carpenter and thc polished men of soicnoe
wore at the stream ; tho former had his plan,
thc latter theirs ; he wished to go at tho work
nt once without drawings, but they objected
until they could perfect, thc plans on pnpor.
The. engineers retired tu their tent to perfect
a paper bridge ; thc carpenter took bis men
and went to work at once lo make a real one.
In a very short time bc appeared at thc Gen
eral's tent, and reported briefly thus : " Gen
eral, that bridge is done, but them pictures
ain't conic yet?" This story has a moral that
all our readers car. discover.- Christian At?'
