A district neiespaper, we consider, should be an index of the, various shades of pop ular sentiment in tho section of country in which it. e?'cufates. Our columns are open, therefore, tor any communicationsproperly icrillen, accom puuicd by a responsible nlinle, not personal in their character, nor ?absolutely injurious in their tendency. ? < ? 'A The Last Appeal. ,T Mo r. Snhf.t.Gii: ? ?? i?l m itx: We have been informed that in some parts )f this District not more than two-thirds of the white citizens, who arc entitled to register, [nave done so. To all such, we desire to pre sent a few cogent arguments; aud we hope they will consider well, before they recklessly part with the privilege of voting, perhaps for-, ever. Did it ever occur to them, that in any scheme bfjconfiscation which may coinc in the future,1 jt is probable that registered voters will be among those who will be excepted 'I It will not be consistent in Congress to allow a man to ex ercise the privilege of voting, which is a re cognition that he is a a proper citizen, in spite of his having engaged in the war; and then after giving him the right to vote, to take away his property. Depend upon it, if any scheme of confiscation is adopted, it will be against the same classes that Congress hns already dis i franchiscd, aud probably in addition to those. Congress will include those who. being entitled to register, have failed to do so. Besides, a Radical Convention meets, and j 1 adopts a Constitution; that will fix tho qualifi cations of voters lor the future iu South Caro lina. Suppose the rolls of registered voters furuish tho foundation for thoso qualifications; will not thoso who have refused to register feel the sad cotisequene.es ol their obstinacy, when perhaps their votes might avert oppressive taxes from their lands 'I Again; to return to this matter of confisca tion. In our District, the rules adopted by th Boards in permitting or preventing regis tration, arc about as liberal as could be expect ed. Suppose Congress passed a law that those who are disfranchised should sutler the loss of their lands by confiscation, or should endure some othor penalty, would not the fact of hav ing failed to register be a strong argument against a man, under tho charge of being sub ject to confiscation ? And is it not hotter that a man should obtain,, the decusion-of. the Board in,-his^fi>3forrif:he?cfta do so.?. ? Perhaps some of our fellow-citizens imagine that they arc disfranchised, when they are not. Some persons think that they are required to take an oath, thn^ they have never participated iu the rebellion. , That is not so. No one is required to swear that he has not participated in tho rebellion; but tho oath requiiod is, that he is not disfranchised because he has par ticipated in the rebellion. Now, a man may JhaYo been in rubullion for five years, aud fought 'against the government of the United States with all his might; and it is nothing, unless 'he has been disfranchised on account of it. And no one can bo disfranchised in this State, unless he was a member of Congress, or of the Legislature, or an executive or judicial officer before tho war. aud afterwards took some de cided action in the war against the United States ; or unless be hits been guilty of an in famous crime. So come out and register, nnd take some in terest in a matter of the most vital importance. True, the odds seem heavy against the cause of truth aud of right; but let us to tho issue boldly, doing our duty faithfully, and leaving the rest to God. "God helps them, who help themselves." -??????' ? The Last Political Move. The President of tho United States has for a momeut awakened from his lethargy, and has suspended Stanton from his position as Secreta ry of War, and appointed General Grant to fill the position ad interim. This !haa boon suc ceeded by the decapitation of the Louisiana tyrant Sheridan, who has been ordered to the West to fight tho Indians. General Thomas succeeds Sheridan at New Orleans. There is one significant feature in connection with the order traust erring Thomas to the cum maud of the Fifth "Military District. Ho is instructed to carry out aljl-exiatin girders, arid to make uo changes in&tho . administration of affairs, unless under instructions frpm General Grant. This seems to be the entering wedge by Grant, towards the assumption of complete control of the five Military Districts. No important changes arc to bo made without his permission. Placo with" this) tho recent action at Washing ton in regard to Sickles' Order No. 10, and it will be observed 'that anj attempt is being, made to centralize all the power at Washing ton, and.to make tho five commanding generals more military subordinates to execute orders from Army Headquarters. Our distinguished military comlnandor, by driving around inn coach and /our, has excited the emulation of his superior officer;' and Grant, determined to excel, is about to try his hand iu managing a team of Jive. The moro high-mettled his coursers, the more Grant, who prides himself upon equestrian exploits, will onjoy it. Ho will hold a tight roin, and there will be no use in kicking. As far as we, the people, are con cerned, we welcome such a change of affairs; for wo have still just a little of that republican fccliug lcit iu our bosoms, that makes the sight of any despot odious. If there is to be a ty rant, let him be at a distance; and not in our midst, to meddle in our private affairs, and be come Receiver-General of the little we have saved from the war, . - To tho Managers of Elections. ? ~ . . > W o call your attention to the communication of "Fair Play" in our columns, and commend it to your careful consideration. The evil is a serious one, and ought to be remedied; and iu the. absence of organization in this District, you ?oem to be the proper ones to attend to it. The Boards of Registration are not at all to Manie in this matter, for many a freed man of nineteen has the appearance of a maturer age. Wo beg to suggest to you the following plan, which will give you but little trouble and will be a great publio benefit, for which your fel low-citizens will thank you. Examine care-'j fully tho lists at your respective polls, and i communicate with former owners of the freed-, men of doubtful age. If those former ownorsi do uot live in your neighborhood, if you YiilL: send to the Orangchxirg Nem the names of tho frccdmcn, together with the names of thcir^ mothers, and of their former owners, we will sec that those owners arc notified, so as to ttSfflfl you in proving ages. Wo will do this cTOffl fully for the good of the District, if the man agers of elections'will do their part. It will be but little trouble to each board, and will ac complish a great deal of good. - 11 Hill ? t ----IIIM.I. - The Formation of a New Party. The indications of a reaction in Northern and Western politics a.c encouraging. It seems that the people a;c at last taking the alarm ; and begin to perceive that their own liberties, and the financial credit of tho country will soon be dissipated, if the Radicals remain in power. Wc publish in this issue, on the first page, tho Conservative platform in Ala bama, which is the first Southern State that seems to have taken steps to organize a party that cau eo-opcrate with the Northern Anti radicals. In Georgia, the Anti-rcconstruction ists are about to hold a Convention, to organ ize for the approaching elections; but their platform is to be rather more of the Hill and Ferry order, than that of the Conservatives. There seem to bo throe parties in the North, and three forming in the South?at the North, the Radicals, the Conservative Republicans, and the Democrats; at the South, the Radi cals, tho Conservative Unionists, and the Anti reconstructionists. Tho real struggle is going to be between the Radicals and Conservatives; and the only salvation for tho country is to be found in strengthening the Conservative rank". Let the Democrats of the North give up De mocracy, and the Anti-reconstructionists of the South give up their extreme views, and let a great Conservative party be formed, to which all lovers of peace, order, nud liberty can at tach themselves, irrespective of previous politi cal opinions. [kou Tiik onASoznuna news.] Four of Euisto, August 20, 1867. Mu. Eiustor:?It seems to me that many young frcedmen of nineteen and twenty years of age, are taking advantage of the uncertainty of their time of birth, and arc registering as voters. Cannot some steps bo 'aken to correct this evil? If the old Managers of Elections would sift out such names at the different polls, I am sure the previous owners of tho frcodmcu would give them any needed nssistanco, to find out the-correct ages of all such ; and the Boards of Registration would then correct tho rolls 1 have no doubt, from what I have myself seen that three or four hundred, at least, will rcgis tor, who are not of age, if the matter is not at tended 10.

CiiAnr/ESTON, August, 21, 18G7. The great bulk of the colored neophytes in politics having completed their registration, and the precincts being no longer thronged aud difficult of access, our white population ;will. register in large numbers; and hereafter the daily majorities will be in our favor. It is barely possible, however, that we will be able to neutralize the large majority against us; still if the now prevalent disposition of our people to assert their right, continues general, we will not bo much in the minority ; and may be able partially to control our City govern ment. The following .statement exhibits the results of registration to date; Whites . . ISSa Colored, ? . . 359 G Aggregate - ? - 522S Majority of colored - - 19G4 Several of the Boards having questioned the I.igibility of lawyers to register, and the mat ir"having been brought before the military, it .has been decided that they arc not excluded. j On Thursday night last, iu honor of their large preponderance in the registration books, and to stimulate the lukc--yarni to the exercise of their privilege, the colored Radical Leagues here had a grand torch light procession. Form ing down town they inarched with banners spread, torches glaring and transparencies bril liantly illuminated, to the residences of their party favorites, Dr. Mackey included, and re ceived their congratulations. During their noisy passage through King-Street, n pistol having been fired by one of their number, and some one having raised the report that it was fired from the building occupied as a store and residence by Mr. Ahrcns, the crowd attacked the premises with brickbats, broke iuto the store; and destroyed or stole most of its con tents, and assaulted personally Mr. Ahrcns and J his clerk. These geutlemen were only rescued from the fury of tho mob, by the arrival of the j police, who took them in custody. An exami nation into tho affair, had the next morning, outirely exonerated them, and they were re-1 leased. The negro, Josiah Ileyward, who tired the pistol, was also arrested, and has been turned over to the military for trial. Ho is now in their custody, aud will bo arraigned next week. As both General Sickles and his Court wore mercilessly severe in the punishment of Daly and Radcliflb for the attack in a Columbia bar-room* on two Radical emissaries, it is to be hoped that this outrageous and unprovoked assault on tho pcrsou and property of a peace able citizen, who has the misfortune to bo a Southern white man, will ho as rigidly investi gated, and the participants receive as severe a penalty. Any indisposition to notice the riot, or to deal at least justly with the rioters, will be equivalent to an invitation for its repetition. And I fear, that, excited as tho negroes now are, and lawless as some of their leaders desire them to be, they would not hesitate to avail themselves of it. They must be taught by bitter experience, if necessary, that freedom and enfranchisement do not include unre strained license. Capt. MoNclty, commanding tho Pilot Hoy, a steamer plying between this city and Florida, was last week tried before a Military Commis sion for refusing cabin passage to a "school inarm" of color in violation of Gcnoral Sickles' Orderen the subject, and tho Civil Rights Bill. Having been found gitilty, he was sentenced to pay a fine of $250. General Sickles has np? proved the finding and soutence, and in his ap proval States that all future discriminations "Will be appropriately punished/' ; f&rofcjtfor g. Holmes of (JWjestoij ? Col lege, to-higlifc lectured before the Young'Men's Christian Association, on the "Creation of our earth?its animate and inanimate beings geo logically cousidored." Despite the threatened inclemency of the weather, a largo audience hoard him, apd all came away pleased,... Tho Professor is usually very interesting on geologi cal subjects; and his clTort this evening was no exception to the rule. Ho will again lec ture next week, and it is probable that tho Ab sociatton, as soon-as the Summer seasons passes, will make arrangements to have a scries of ad dresses on literary and scientific topics, delivered for the benefit of our young men aud the pub lic. The mania for "base ball" as an amusement ccms to have taken general possession of our ouug men ; aud every afternoon elubs meet to practice on the Citadel Greeu, and the other open grounds in tho City. The batting and running and catching furnish excellent exer cise, though it is perhaps rather violent wheu the thermometer stands at 90?. Tho "Alerts" and "Palmettocs" will soon engage in a match jgame for the Championship. Can't Orange ^urg raise a Club ? The health of the city is as good, as is usual at this season of the year. A report of yellow fever having made its appearance was in circu lation last weck ; but was entirely unfounded. It is hoped that this unwelcome visitor will uot afflict us with his presence this Summer. An epidemic would hopelessly blight the now fine business prospects of our merchants. SPECTATOR. Order No. 10, &c. Wc clip the following from the Washington correspondence of the New York Herald, of the 15th inst. The first step towards the dcvclopcmcnt of ihe new liberal policy for Southern Recon struction was brought forward, in Cabinet meeting to-day, nnd Grunt, who attended as Secretary of War, favoured it promptly. T'nis ] step was the adopting of an o^Jcr to General ?i?...e3. comv^jjcurig him to rescind his order j suspending the payment of debts, and aiso his other order by which the execution of process of the United States Court in Wilmington, N. C, was impeded. It was agreed in the Cabi uct meeting to instruct General Sickles that ho was in no case to interfere with the man dates of the Federal courts. It is believed by tho President 'that Reconstruction can go on without abolishing every traco of civil govern ment. In matters of loonl legislation not op posing the theory of Reconstruction, it is con sidered that the State Legihlatures should be allowed to have their own way. This new or der is, therefore, the result of these views, and may be regarded as the fir6t chock to despotic administration in the South since the suspen sion of Stanton. It is believed that Sickles will resign in consequence; but othore assert that he will do no such thing. Apropos of resignation, I am iuformed that the policy likely to be adopted towards the present. Military Commanders will be ono of gradual decapitation. Sheridan will probably be the first victim, and Pope the next. Then there will be a pause. Should the other Com manders profit by the fate of these two and fall gracefully in with the Johnsonian policy, they will be-allowcd to remain in office for a long time, and may not be stirred at all if their support is given heartily and in real earnest; but if, when Sheridan is removed, tho rest tender their resignations, I have no doubt no obstacle will be thrown in tho way of their retirement.
