struck deep into his heart; his liver was con

Much eulogy has been lavished by youi on
General Siekles for Order No. 10. Whatever
may have'been the temporary relief afforded to
debtors by this extraordinary order, all lovers
of constitutional liberty have it forced upon
their reflection, that laws similar have uniform
iiy bcen pronounced by the. Supreme Court of
the'United' States to ' be unconstitutional; and
that a law passed by our Legislature, which by
no moans interfered with the obligations of
'contracts to tbccxtOntof order No. 10, was de
clared by the highest Court iu the State, by
ten judges against one, to be violativc of th.s
Constitution of the United States. Also, that
tile Attorney-General of the United States in
tan argotncitt! thtit has Hot been; and: cannot be,
answered, 1k*t declared the issuing of this or
der to bo a despotic stretch of unauthorized
1.power.. Finally while temporary relief has
i been afforded to debtors, wo have the fact
forced upon us, that a largo class of creditors,
I among whom nro numbered msny now desti
tute widows nnd orphans, have b-jcu great suf
f'orers thereby.
!i -'In this connection, I would ask if you do
not know that tho application of Order No. 10,
to the Federal Court? was an nfterthought on
the tlib part of Gem Sickles; nnd that lie did
allow .tho process of this Court to bo freely ex
ecuted in this State, until it occurred to him
that this Court might on proper coso mado. do
clnro .the July Act unconstitutional and thus
destroy his super Czaric power ?
I am constrained to characterize your letter
aK your serond bid for Radical favor. Your
speech in Charleston, when yon ungratefully
aspersed the Democratic party which gave you
prominence, was your first bid. Your letter has
?furnished tho Radical party with a 'pretext for
the prosecution of its nefarious designs for tho
oppression of the South, that has bcon seized
upon, with avidity ' by its partisan journals.
While thus opening tho way. for 'your admis
sion into the folds of the 1 {lack Republican
party, you might at least have spared us tho
.unwarranted calumny of stating that'but for
tho "wisdom, moderation, and forboarahco" of
Geu. Siekles '<a considerable number of troops
[would have been necessary to preserve publio
.records, and ensure the safety of sheriffs, &c,"
You well know how law abiding are the citi
zens of the1 Stade that maligned by'yotij ''and
th at t Ii e only rlotbus dem on slra'tion s made since
the war have been by negroes at places whjB.ro |
United States troops were in foreef. ,..,?> {
I-a conclusion I niu/it eay that your, lettsr
represents tlio sentiments of only ft small claJS |
of debtors -who prefer their i n di Vid ual well -be- f
ing to tho preservation ;of the liberty of their
country f and that nil true South Carolinians
feel that Gen. Sickles while with us, whatever
ihay: have;been his personal relations to you,
not only crushed out the substance of liberty
bat likewise destroyed its forum.

The newspapers, says' the New York Day
Book, are full of gossip about Mrs. Lincoln's
threats of "ret/rets." We should rathe; eay
that, from tho diligent manner in which she
advertises her clothes for sale, that her threats
are rather to uvdreu. Judge Davis, the ad
ministrator of the estate of Lincoln, makes out
that he left $85,000. Congress voted his
widow $25,000; she sold the furniture she
took from the White House for $14,000; total,
$124,000. Lincoln has been dead two years,
and his poor widow has already come to want.
