HALL, Publisher. READING MATTER ON EVERY PAGE. Washington No,vs. . I .</.'rull . t-f 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!? Nno York Day Book. ~TBffi?BANftEB?Ee NEWS." 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. We do not like to quote Latin, but n senti ment of Iloraco appropriately expresses our idea of tho true position of a Southern gentle man iu theso days of trial: JilKtuin ut tonaccm propositi virum lion ulvinin nrdor prava jubontiun;.

[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.
