fi governments in complote subjeotion to tho
Military Commanders, whose previous acts are
I j validated. It makes the Hoards of Registrars
judges of the qualifications for registration;
forbids tho removal of Commanders without
,. .itho ndvice and consent of the Senate, or the
i>. sentence of a court martial; forbids civil
courts whether State or F?deral, from inter
fering with tho Commander or his. agents act

While ire reserve, to ourselves the. right ofdefl
niiig our otrn political position by mi'ans o f our
e<fitorial columns, tee n il/ bcjdeasnd to publish
contributions from our fellow-citizens upon the
grave questions which now agitate tlu. public
.mind, ichcthej-- their opinions coincide with ours
or not., A district ncicsjuipcr, ire. consider^
should be. an .index of the various shades of pop
ular sentiment in the section of country in which
if- circulates. 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." It is lie voice of
a shrewd, keen politician', and- waMfco doubt,
dictated to our '.?Pintriet ^Commawor from
Washington for political effect, Bui such ef
forts wiH fail. Madm^s. rules the h?ur; and

My Dear &*/?.?-?I have decidod natt) begin

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

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'. Consti
tution of-tho United States, and nlton^'uds en
gaged in rebellion, or given aid and Comfort,
etc.j are disfranchised, this should f>c:\it-pressfy
declared, otherwise,' if loft to tonstrjlction, it
may be held that no other officers aro^iicluded
tfuzn those ctmmcrafcd in Article 1*7. ojjj^tccou
stifuliun, and that even as to these, a
Kir*
don removes the disqu<i.fijictifhin.
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

In tho second plan, Congress nssuif
of the question of suffrage, which ^R^?*io
tdl-.\\\iu can take-a prescribed oath, and iitsn
enforces- tho disqualification for office, which
would have been the penal and conservative
feature of the first plan. 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.-.,!' 'Jd

boon found among those who arc eligible to

of a wider field of choice for civil officers, as
