Our columns arc bpch\ therefore, for any communications properly written, accom panied by a responsible, name, not. personal in their.character, nor absolutely injurious in their tendency. ' The Signs of the Times. We arc still drifting. The Congress of the United Elites is in solemn session. gravely 'con-, sidcring the question of Reconstruction." From present indications, they will pass another Supplementary Act on that subject, which will be iu words too plain to admit of mistake in its construction. We may expect the lines to be drawn closer than before; and when, this farce of becoming reinstated in the privileges of American citizenship is played out. and we once again feel that-South Carolina is a Stale in the Union, the people of the South will not .value their newly acquired rights. The truth is, when tins .war ended, the most inveterate Secessionist who took the Aiuucsty oath, took t. iu good faith, cxpoOtiug to_- hoop it strictly lid sacredly. But the great -government of he United States bus acted towards us with lb^vuceful perfidy: It has held us strictly to ill obligation's, but on its own part, it has kept none of its promises. Preferring to govern u.s Jpy. the bayonet, it ..has-ucver sought to attract jus by conciliatory measures. These were only adopted when .we bad arms in our hands, and at a time when, defeated as we we're, disheart ened as we were, in utter despair of success as wo were, we would have fought to extermina tion ere wo would have submitted to the thought of such utter-humiliation as we have since en-1 dared; And wliat niuvu is bcfol'O its ? Is (iiifj Vhc end ? Tit our opinion, far from. it. The day of American liberty is fast passing away. The Constitution, a beacon light erected upon a rock, when the waves wore calm as the waters of the Peaceful Ocean, has not been able to withstand the violent surges of the storm. Tt has gone down under the heaving billows of party, and the ship of state, with a feeble pilot at the helm, and a turbulent crew on board, is drift ing wildly, a prey to winds and waves. While this imminent peril threatens the Re public, .what is being done by the people? They are split into factious by the spirit of party; they are wrangling over the spoils of office; they ar6 plundering and robbing the government under every form of financiering ; and they arc trying to rob and plunder each other by every means within the pale of the law. Some .low bright exceptional cases may be found, but tiie general characteristic of iho times is legalized rapine and violence All the pure doctrines of republicanism derived from our forefathers are disregarded or perverted ; all the virtues which ennoble the individuals of a great commonwealth, and make patriot ism, fidelity and justice as familiar its house hold words,?those virtues are* departed; nit that pure love of country which should bo the characteristic of tho mastics in a democracy, to mako a popular government successful, is gone forever. How soon (be government itsolf will collapse also, wc cannot-tell j but such a re sult seems to us 'inevitable. Wo do not believe that the Amcrioan Union will exist ten years longer ; and it will be the Radicals who will destroy it. { ., We observe that the most far-sighted among them arc faking the nlnnm They foresee the legitimate results of their present policy, and thfvy ni;o trying to introduce more moderate counsels. Take as an indication of this, tin letter of Gcti. Sickles to tho Cimisan of the Scnato Judiciary Committee, publjhcd in our prescnfc'ifJsue. That letter in, in eoct,'an ex postulation with Congress."- It Bws.'in Bub}., stance to that body,?"We have tc game in. our own hands now ; let us not ru 'yiatters to the ground,.and make our own pins fail by carrying them to extremes."

J J. trust, therefore, that it will be'the ploasurp'ol Conr gross to extend the time for tho eoitiplaion of my registration, until?^say, October br iSoveni bcr. If I proceed now, and disrjguid the wishes of the President, my action (.'would be regarded nn insubordinate; it Tibllo^L's inti ?malions, many would probably' b?; togibtorcd not eligible according to the true ? interpreta tion of the Acts of Congress. If it is meant that all who have -iicld any ofiioe?iFedcral, Stale, or municipals-having taken an oath of office to support < thq'.

If it is meant to exclude lawyers, thcmshould be expressly mentioned, or else dcscjjjacd by some classification ;? a* for example. ?'|?5r ? the word "office," add "aiiy licensed'callin$or>-cm ploycnt or profession.1" Otherwise, iii&c eli gibility of lawyers bo left -to cousUamion. i! trtay be held that a lawyer is not a public olli allhouuh-a ft'notiontiry of a court or^'otli -r judicial body. ? --v The truth is.-we have nwC ?? ?l>3r*|fe lv;:' distinct systems of rceon; !: ?action.' pi".y?'':;,':C^ by Congress, and engrafted upon'tho-'-jV.-h-? dent's plan of reconstruction.

Xow it seems to mo that the true conservative guarantee against re action is in tho addition made to tho loyal vote by the enfranchisement of tho colored- pcoi^.o. That being dune, tho occasion for tb. disrf'iidi fieation clause ceases. HciiDc, the Ivue solu tion. I believe, is to declare with universal suffrage, a general any(,csty?naming th.- faecn tions. A mc;;c liberal ahiuosty*i's, in my jmlg inorit,, essential to the success of the Cungrcs sional plan of reconstruction. !t will enlarge the range of popular choice for the important judicial, executive, and legislative departments of the State governments', otherwise inconven iently confined to classes vor)' few of whom are tit to hold office The people can surCly be en trusted to judge and select from those who tuok part in the rebellion, tho men at once qualified and sincere in their adhesion to tho new.order of things. Such men, being.eligible to office, will have motives to identify tbomsolvcs with reconstruction, and to support the view ; of the majority. Now, inure than ever, men of ability and experience in public business are needed for the State governments in the South; and it is truly unfortunate that at such a moment nearly all who know anything of public affairs and especially those who could fill judicial sta tions, are disfranchised. Tins exposes the ex periment of general suffrage (" needless hazards. If the experiment fail, it is must likely to fail from tlic inability of tho people to put in office those who could and would assure success. It would have been advantageous perhaps to have removed many disaffected persons, especially Judges, Sheriffs and Magistrates, in the exe cution of of the sixth section of the act.-.,!'
