March27.?Tho District officers' Judiciary
bill was passed over tho veto by a strict party
vote snd is now a law.
. The Conference Committee on tho Tax bill
reported, and tho report was adopted.
Stevens, Universal suffrage amendment.
Pednlty for infringement applies only to Ala
bama. Its defeat in regarded ascertain, as it
would give Alabama to the Democrats; but the
passage "of tho bill aa reported, which validates
tho constitutum and inaugurates the State
officials recently voted for is approhended.
Violent cross purposes exist, however, and this
afternoon the proceedings are speculated upon
at overy corner.
1 Impeachment speculations are rife, but the
actors in the play are reticont of nothing rel
iably indicative or suggestivo haviug trans
pired*
Tho Tax Conference Committee rctnins the
whiskey clause punishing for sale below the
tax. This is a point on which the Seuate
hitches.
I March 28.~In tho Senato the President was
naked whether ho established any new military
districts since August, aud uuder what uamc
^.Tho report of the Tax Confereuoo Committee
was rejected. Nye said it would fill tho
penitentiaries with government officials. Howe
said that would be a good thing. Morrill, of
Maine, did not believe there was an honest
distiller in the Union.
In the House Stevens' amendment ou
Universal Suffrage was rejected without a
division. Spatdding's substitute was adopted
by 77 to 54. It declares the Montgomery
Constitution tho fundamental law of the Pro
visional Government. Officers recently elected
to qualify and enter on the disoharge of their
duties May 1st.
The Governor may convene the Legislature
elected undor said constitution. The Legisla
ture ohall possess all powers conferred by the
Montgomery Constitution as to tho qualifica
tions of electors, with or without tho amend
ment.
-The majority of electors qualified under'the
act of Congress of March 23, 1867, have adop
ted a constitution, and the Legislature has
ratified the fourteenth art icle of tho said con
stitution. It may be presented to Congress
for approval. ' ?
The law to provide more efficient government
in- the rebel States, shall remain iu force in
Alabama, except as modified by the act until
Alabama is admitted.
March 29.?An impeachment rumour ia
rife, and very general on the streets, that the
President's counsel will movi to dismiss the
coao, there being nothing v.:.peachablo in the
ohergea or the replication, and that Chase will
sustain tho motion.' High Radical authority
hoots at this. It is confidently stated that
Chase will take no extreme grouud, though he
may claim tho power of deeiding the judicial
points as attaching to his position, but will put
the question to the Sonate, and submit to their
decision.
Evarts has been iu Now York seeking au
thcrites, there boing no arranged library hero
and no time for the search. Evarts will arrive
in the city in the morning, and in the mean
time the council having been separated, will go
into court without full consultation.
Tho President's counsel see no cause why
tho, trial should be prolonged over two weeks.
Butler's speech is prepared. Ho treats the
matter in regular prosoeuting attorney style.
After Butler's 1 speech they will, quoting one
of the managers, ''pile in thoir witnesses."
Meade writes to Grant that under tho law
rerfuiring half of tho registered voters to vote,
the constitution of Alabama was not ratified.
He soys: "I cannot but look upon the recent
result of the election, as an expression of an
opinion by the registered voters that they do
not desire to bo restored under the constitution
submitted to them, and in view of tho rocent
act of Congress allowing the majority of votes
cast to ratify, I would prefer seeing the con
vention reassembled for tho revision of the
constitution and tho revised constitution sub
mitted to tho people under the new law. I am
of the opinion that a revised constitution, more
liberal in its termB and confined to tho require
ments of tho Reconstruction laws, would in
Alabama, as I havo reason to expect it will in
Goorgia and Florida, meet with tho npproval
of a'mnjority of the registered voters."
Two delegations from Florida aro before the
Reconstruction Committee. Ono is largely
represented by tho Massachusetts and the other
by the Wisconsin element. The Wisconsin party
have Moadcs' indorsement and forty-five signers
but the Massachusetts party claim that the
delegates signed the Meadc Constitution, be
cause otherwise they could get no pay.
MARcn 30.?Fcdcrick A. Johnson, with a
petition signed T>y three thousaud citizens cf
Now OrloanB, called on Grant this morning.
Grant intends referring tho petition to General
Buchanan..
<Fho final vote on tho Alabama bill, after tho
^option of the substitute by 77 to 54, was 102
to 2!>-a strict party Vote, except Williams,
of Pennsylvania.
In thp House the ifcw Jersoy resolution
withdrawing assent to tho fourteenth article,
was presented. Boutwoll objected to its re-,
ception, as it was disrespectful iu charging the,
House with usurpations. '
Half-past twelve arriving tho House attend
ed the impeachment trial.
After the return, the Now Jersey resolution
was presented to tho person who presented it,
as disrespectful and scandalous.
In the Senate Chase entered and openod tho
Court. Tbe usual formalities followed.
Butler spoke until 4 P. M., concluding to a
comparatively thin house. Tho seats provided
for tho House of Representatives were almost
empty, and the galleries by no means crowded.
Wilson commenced the ovidonce, which is
entirely documentary and was interrupted iu
tbe middle of tho President's reasons for sus
pending Stau ton by a motion to adjourn, which
wns carried.
The Tax Committee reported tho whiskoy
clauses in a modified form. Frauds ore pun
ishable by fine and imprisonment. The pen
alty covers distillers, dcalors and rcvonuo offi
cers, and imprisonment is mandatory. Suits
shall uot be dismissed or compromised without
tho consent of tho Secretary of the Troasury
and the Attorncy-Gonoral. Lumber and flour
are excepted from tho wholesale tax. Other
wise thoro is no change. The report was
adopted.
Adjourned.
March 31.?In the Senate the reading of
the evidence was continued until Stanbcry ob
jected. Chase sustained the managers. Drake
objected. Chase maintained that be had 'a
right to make prolimiuary decisions subject to
appoal. Drake appealed. Tho managers Gup
ported the appeal, saying they were glud the
issue arose wqen the ruling was iu their favor.
The defence took part in the contest. A mo
tion to retire prevailed, Chaso voting with tho
ayes to decide the tic. Doolittlo and Sauls
bury were the only Democrats who voted nay.
After thrco hous absence, Chase announced
the decision to be that he should decide ques
tions of evidence and other preliminary ques
tions, subject to appeal to the Senate. Ad
journed.
Judge Black yestcrduy in the Supreme
Court, desired to argue tho effect of the roceut
legislation ou the MeArdlc case. During the
colloquy, Judge Gricr said he felt called upon
to vindicate himself from whatever of obloquy
or censure nmy attach to any ono in this mat
ter. That ho thought the failure to decide the
MeArdlc case will bo considered as a design ou
the part of the court, to wait for legislation to
relievo them from the pcriormanco of nu un
pleasant duty. Gricr closed with "I nm
ashamed that such an opprobrium should be
cast upon the court, and that it cannot be re
futed."
The Supreme Court has postponed the argu
ment in the MeArdlc case until the next term.
General Hancock has issued an order to-day
assuming commaud of the division of tho At
lantic, with his headquarters at Washington.
The division embraces the Department of the
East, of Washingtou, aud of tho Lakes.
Tho President's friends scorn in excellent
spirits.
The President has changed the form of ap
pointment blank?, so that they will conform to
the tenure of office act.
General Morchead characterizes tho iutcj
views of Stanton and Thomas, as somewhat
jocular, with no bostilo manifestations.
Butler offored to repeat what was said by
witnesseswho could not mako thorusolvos hoard,
but the defenco objected.
April 1.?Senate.?After reading tho jour
nal, which was interrupted, by Summer's
ineffectual attempt to declare Chase's casting
the vote illegal, tho question of evidence which
interrupted yostcrdaj'p open proceedings was
resumed. Both the managers aud the Presi
dent's counsel consumed their hour, and Chase
was sustained by a strict party vote. Pending
the discusion, the managers declined to answer
what use they intotidcd to make of the disputed
evidence, ns it would expose their plan of prn.
cecdiug. The question at issue was whether
what Thomas oaid and did, could be recived.
Under this ruling it was proved that Thomas
said ho intended to usa foroo, and to break
down the door, and that afterwards be said he
was deterred from using force by his arrest.
The next contest arosoovor the admissibility
of what Thomas did and said previous to receiv
ing orders to take the wur office Chase ruled
it out Drake appealed and the appeal was
sustained by a vote of 28 to 22. The managers
stated previous to tho vote that they intended
proving by this evidence that Thomas in the
line of his conspiracy attempted to corrupt the
employees of the war office.
Butler, during this controversy, violently
assailed General Thomas, as having been dis
graced by Lincoln and Stanton, and that asido
from assisting the President in his ooiwpiracy,
he gratifiod his rovongo. Under this ruling it
was provod that shortly after Thomas' reinstate
ment as Adjutant-General ho culled up the
heads of the bureau and ohiof employees and
imformod them thnt strict rules would bo
relaxed.
Cross oxnmiuation elicited the fact that these
speeches were confined to the employees of the
Adjutant General's Department, and that no
allusion was made to the probability of Thomas
becoming Secretary of war. This point created
quite a buzz. Further evidence showed that
General Thomas had said that ho intended to
npply to General Grant for a force to put him
in possession.
Only thrco witnesses wore examined to-day.
New England Squirming.?A Boston
merchant writes a western commercial house:?
"If the two Houses of Cc?gress could be sunk
j about.t\yo hundred foct under the earth, where
fhoy could never rise again you would ?co fro.de
-; '?-?-. ?-? ' ' T^^n
and commerce rtsuuio,' and would also sue a
glowing smilo on every honest man's face in
the country. The Lord d?Uvcr ua from such*
an administration as that we arc now enduriugl"
The country hears more groans from that mis
erable quarter of the North, New England, than
from all other sections of the country together.
If those Godforsaken fanatics had listened to
the prophetic warnings given by Tho Day-Book
weekly, after tho accursed War broke out?a
war they hatched into existence?thcro would
havo been less Buffering there, as well as in the
country generally. We told them what the
price of "crushing out the South" would bo.
They heeded it not, and now their wails are
awful. New England fanatics, you have sowed
the wind, you must roap the whirlwind!?

SATURDAY, APRIL 4,1888.
While tee raeirve to ourselves the right of defi
ning our own political position by means of our
editorial column*, ice will he pleased to publish
contributions from our fellow-citizens upon the
grave, questions which -now agitate the public
mind, wh^ctlicr their ojn'nions coincide with ours
or not. '? A district newspaper, we consider,
should be an index of the various shades of j>op ?
ular sentiment in the section of country in which
it circulates. Our columns are open, therefore,
for my communications properly written, accom
. punted by ? resjiouniblt name, not personal in
their character, nor absolutely injurious in their
tendency.
Shall wo Act, and How?
Wo commend to tho attention of our read
ers, the article in our columns entitled "Our
Policy," written by a distinguished citizen of
our District, and designed to express the views
of a number of our people; and we urgently in
vite expressions of opinion from our fellow
; citizens upon a subject, tho importance of
which eaunot be exaggerated.
i^1For ourselves, wo do not believe that our
policy is to act. We suy this much, that every
white citizen of Orangcburg District, who is?
entitled to REGISTER, and has not done so,
owes it to himself,.to his family and to his
race, to do so at once. And why ? Because
the right to veto is an element of power j and
the day may come, when that power can be
used with telling effect.
But, beyond this, wo beliovc in a "masterly
inactivity." We arc opposed to tho organiza
tion of Democratic clubs, because we believe
they will do no good at present. We are op
posed to voting at the ensuing election for
members of the Legislature, or upon the rati
fication of the proposed Constitution; because
we are not yet prepared to fight Radicalism
upon its own chosen grouud. Let the same
actors conclude the farce, that began it. Let
us not, by opposition, elevate it to the diguity
of au historical drama.
But there aro some people, who think that
there must be a demonstration of some kind,
or many whito men will bo attracted into tho
Radioal rauks, by tho alluring promise of a
homestond, mado in tho new Constitution. If
there be such whito men iu Orangeburg Dis
trict, who will soil thoir birthright for a moss
of postage, lot thorn go; they are worth nothing
to us. Tho Dion of principle, the men who
are white men in soul, as well as in color, will
not sacrifice their honor upon tho altars of a
false god. Whether there be Democratic
pluba or not, tho mcq "of tho right grit'' will
fetnnd firm. As for the othors, they will be
rightly disappointed, whon they find that the
expected homestead will do them no good, as
it will not apply to past debts; uud the apples
of Sodom will thus turn to ashes in their
grasp.
] Let be quiet, and hide our time. We have
.'the mighty weapon, CAPITAL, in our hands,
and if we will only organize to use it aright,
wo may be ablo to accomplish a great deal.
Let us form planters' clubs, and agricultural
associations, and immigration societies; und in
these ways, becotuo prepared to dictate to the
iguorant herd, as masters of their daily bread,
?cro, wo may du something by activity : lot us
spend our energy iu the right direction, and
not waste it on impossibilities.

ment of Iloraco appropriately expresses our
idea of tho true position of a Southern gentle

[FOR THE OUANOEDUnO NEWS.]
Our Policy.
Much has boon written concerning the
arse the South should have pursued during
the last two or three years, with regard to the
??political measures before tho country. It was
generally conceded that the State, indeed tho
Southern States, should do something to ward
jqff tho ruin which threatened thom?to adopt
such a policy by which they could successfully
oppose the measures they thought unconstitu
tional ; and at the same time prove to the gov
ernment their loyalty and readiness to ac
quiesce iu any course founded upon reason,
justice, and tho constitution.
I Our people, from the very beet of motives
Jthey thought, decided to pursue no particular
'coursof but to remain comparatively inactive, be
lieving that the justice of the causo would work
out their salvation. It was especially advised that
they should do nothiug to shape their destiny,
rather than do too much to provoke the dis
jplcasure of tho party in power,?that there
was wisdom in inactivity. It was alleged that
we had just emerged from a most disastrous,
war in which the brightest hopes had been
disappointed, and tho noblest enthusiasm that
ever aniuiatod the heart of patriots had been
destroyed and utterly shipwrecked. We wore
told that our homes had been plundered, our
fields blighted, our property destroyed and that
'The positiou of our people was that of the con
quered. Sueh was the argument used and the
influence which induced the State to adopt the
present policy. The history of the past three
years and the experience of to-day testify that
any other policy would have brought us to an
adjustment of our difficulties as Boon, if not in
shorter time. To persist in it now can have
,no other effect thau to - prolong our troubles
until it shall culminate in negro rule or milita
ry despotism over tho South. Faith simply in
the justice of a cause cannot save us?with
faith we must couple works in order to succeed.
^Inactivity can gain us no advantages, but on
tho other hand it will encourago tho radicals
in their acts of usurpation and efforts to over
throw the present government of the couutry.
Whilst we have been quietly looking on, great
changes have been effected in tho organic law
of the land. Not satisfied with falsifyiug the
promise made at the inauguration of the war
against the South, that so soon as the States
in rebellion should lay down their arms and
returu to their allcgiuuco under the Constitu
tion, the war should cease : they proceeded to
disregard the stipulations of peace between
our commanding generals. They have stulti
fied the meaning of the term peace by keeping
a large standing army, at a great oxptuiso, in
the South; and that too in the face of the
President Proclamation declaring peace was re
established. Thoy have driven the Southorn
States out of the Union, instead of drawing
them into it; and established over thom a
military despotism, with the promise of a better
government under nogro rule. Tuoy bavo
trampled under foot tho Constitution, and pro-1
claimed tho will of Congress the organic law
of the laud. They have dared to cripplo tho
Executive, to gag tho Judiciary, and to subject
them all to the Legislative Department of tho
government. And now whilst we are looking
on, their design regarding the South has re: d
its height when they submit to tho people the
blackest and most disgraceful instrument ever
honored by the namo of Constitution.
Now I ask what are the advantages of inac
tivity ? Weigh them against the incalculable
wrotohedness to bo indured by Negro-radical
rule under the vory worst typo of savage cruel
ty, even though it be for a short time. Who
can imagino the tide of demoralization, which
will require but a few years to wash out every
noble and honorable mark that remain to us
now of our happier days. Tho condition of
tho white race hero will be moro deplorable
than that of any people known in history. In
all other revolutions there was a feeling of
sympathy to tomper tho conqueror's rule; but
hero the superior race in the scale of human
beings is placed under the entire eontrol of the
iuferior, with none of tho sympathy oxistiug
between kindred nations. With all the super
stitutiou and prejudices of his race who can ex
pcol the negro to exercise any other govern
ment over us than tho absolute power tho mas
tor possess over tho slave.
Now, Mr. Editor, tho question arises, can
we prevent the occurrence of such a stato of
affairs? Tho solution is simply one of in
fluence. Docs the white man of the South
possess sufficient power over the personal inter
est of the negro to influence his action in tho
coming elections ? I believe ho has aud all we
want is tjiu energy?tho activity to bring it in
force; but if tho pxoroUe of this power is de
layed until tho ratification of tho so-called Con
stitution, the reception of tho State into the
Union under that Constitution, and the invest
ment of the radical party with the strength of
.the South; tf.on the ruin of the Southern
rr ?an inrni. rut.????iii^
hito man will bo a matter of a few yearn work.
Tho friends of the Constitution at tbo North
are organizing under a Platform, eufiqicntly
liberal for the South; and in many BeUions of
thin State, and of the South generally, there
re organisations called Democratic Clubs or
ganized for the purpose of co-operating with
he democrats North in this efforts to Bavo tho
outh from n astro rule, and the country at
urge from radical usurpations. And whilst
they aro fighting the battlo against this mad
policy upon the only legitimate ground, at the
polls; let us at tho South who are moat inter
ested do the same. In doing so we do not
acknol wedge tho legality of the Negro Consti
tution, or forfeit our position as to the uncon
stitutionality of the Reconstruction Acts; bat
simply to meet them upon their / own ground
and fight them with their own weapons. It is
believed that this extreme radical policy is in
sisted upon to obtain power and spoil and the
negro is a fit tool to throw the strength of j
eleven States on the Bide of the revolutionist in
tho next Presidential election, and thus perpet
uate their power for four years longer. "Why
may we not use tho same tool to accomplish
our purposes. Let us bring to hear upon the
negro every possible influence?explain the in
justice of the measure?its direct opposition to
our interest and his own; and tell him plainly
to choose between tho two, the Northern radi
cal with his false promises, or the Southern
white man aud comfortable homes. It was the
argument that served the peoplo of Alabama
and will not fail in South Carolina. I under
stand there is a meeting called at Washington
Seminary* to organize ono of these clubs, may it
not suggest Mr. Editor, the propriety of a
more extensive meeting to be hcld.at the Court
House during Court Weck. S.
PUBLIC MEETING.
Mr. Editor : The oitixens of St. Matthew?' Parish,
and all others who feel nn interest in the regelt of |
of the events now transpiring, nnd desire to nave
our country from ruin, arc earnestly invited to at
tend a meeting to be held at Washington Seminary
<v.) Saturday lltli April next, for the purpose of or
ganizing a Democratic Club to act in concert with
uthcr portlous of the 8tate, and to assist our friends
of the North who arc trying to liavo us from "Negr*
Rule and Military Despotism."
