White we reserve to ourselves the right of defi
ning our oirn politicalposition by means of nur
editorial columns, ice will he phased to publish
contributions from our fellow-citizens upon the
grave 'questions which now agitate the public
mind, whether their opinion's, coincide with ours
or n?r.. A district newspaper, we consider,
should be an index of the various shades of pop
ular sentiment in the section of country in which
it nr'cidates. Our columns are open, therefore,

The Three Days' Election.
For tho first time since tho Congressional
policy of Reconstruction has beou put into
'.operation, have the white men of South Caro
lina gone to the polls : and thoy have done so
but to place upon roeord their protest against
tho yoko, which an unprincipled party is plac
ing upon their necks. It was well known, be
fore the election, that every arrangement had
already been made to secure the ratification of
tho negro Constitution by a majority of the
voters of the State, and that the vote of the
.white nconln ??ixhl ?nt ?^t* *-*"=s*
ing tide of Radicalism overflowing our devoted
land : but still it was deemed right that we
should organize against tho impending tyran
ny. The result has beeu in many respects en
couraging. Those who, on many a field. of
conflict, have fallen into Hue with tho
ardor of .volunteers and all tho cool cour
age of veterans, have rallied to the present
call with a promptitude, which shows that tho
fire of patriotism is still unextinguished in
their breasts. Without organization, without
preparation, upon the spur of tho moment, as
it were, a party, by no means contemptible in
nnnibers, formidable in tho possession of capi
tal and resources, and not to bo intimidated by
present defeats, has sprung into lifo. Ou ten
days notico, all the machinery of a campaign
has beon put into operation j and wo do not,
by any means, consider the issue of our exer
tions a failure Wo have made our opponents
show thoir hands; wo havo torn dowu entirely
tho veil of hypoorisy with which our hirelings
havo heretofore covered thoir conspiracy for
our ruin) we arc no longer resting in fancied
security, wbHe midnight plottcrfl aro laying
tho train for our destruction. Not wo now
appreciate the situation, and aro at last awake.
Let'us then, for the future, work together
witb greater earnestness and determination,
friot us meet the issue manfully, nnd fight it
fout on every line that presents itself. Let us
remember men, and their actions of the past
week, whether they bo white or black. Lot
us carry politics into our daily life, and dircot
all our business towards thoso who aro friends,
and away from our declared enemies. Doing
this with unanimity. nnd resolution, wo will
(pvcntually conquor. For that hour, let us
work, and hopo.

tion on tho question of ratifying or rejecting
tbe proposed Radical Constitution, so far as

Returning from impeachment the House ad

In the Senate the managers asked an amend

objected, and the motion goes over, General
Thomas was again on the stand, undergoing a
perplexing cross-examination by Butler. Gen.
Sherman was ou the stand. Tho managers ob
ject to tho evidence. Another very sharp con
test is pending.
Tho examination was continued, and elicited
from Thomas that the President's words to him
were: "Go and take ehargo of tho War
offico," instead of "possession of tho War
office." Gon. Sherman was horo in the mid
dle of Dccomber, aud had several interviews
with the President?two in company with
Grant. The managers objected to receiving
tbe President's declarations. ClioSs said that
no question had yet been asked. Stanbery
asked :. "Did the President ask if you would
tako charge of the War Department on Stan
ton's removal V but Butler objected.
Sherman said he had an interview with the
President, in Grant's presence, the day Stan
ton resumed tbe oflico. Stanbery asked what
that interview rclatca !*>? but Rutler objected.
Stanbery asked : "Did tbe internet' relate to
Stantou's occupancy of the War Offico?1'
Sherman answered that it did. Stanbery nsked
the purport. Butler objected. Stanbery ro
duccd the question to writing : "In that iutor
view what was said about Stantou's return to
tho War Department V Butlor objected.
Chase thought tho question adinissable. Con
ncsa appealed, and the ayes wero demanded.
Tho matter was now discussed very sharply and
at great length, Butler interrupting Stanbery
repeatodly. Stanbery insisted on his right to
nay what they intended tu prote and should go
on unless tbe Senate ordered him to stop. Ho
would prove that tho Prcsidont wnntcd Sher
man to take the War Office to secure a judi
cial decision. Stanbery, Kvarts, Butler, and
Wilson participated. Stanbery called on the
Chief Justice during tho debate to stop But
ler's porsonal aspersions. After recess, Chase
restated his opinion that the question was ad
missablo under yesterday's ruling, boeatisc like
thnt of yesterday its purpose was to elicit the
President's intention. Tho question was then
put, and tho question was ruled out?Ji3to 28.
Among tho Republicans voting with tho mi

question. Stanbory desiredUtoi amend tho
question, but was interrupted by the following
question by Senator Henderson : ^WlidthoY tho
President in any interview had oppressed any
intention with regard to making the. appoint
ment. The Senate rofusod to hear the annwer,
25 to 27. ' " 11
Al>kiL 13.?In the Senate tho motion to
amend the rules to allow additional speech oh,
was tabled. "Stephens, Williams,' Boutwell,
and Logan were disappointed.
Stevens and Williams made special appeals
for a hearing.
Sherman was recalled, and Stanbcry asked
whether after Stanton's restoration the good
of the service required another mau than Stan
ton at tlio head of tho War Department?
Butler objected. Bingham t?aid if Sherman's
opinion was given 40,000 other men's opinions
might be callod.
Butler spoke at. length. He warned Sena
tors that Saturday's strugglo would be renew
ed to-day.
Several questions were asked by Senators
and a general debate ensued.
Kvarts said they desired to show that the
President's action wns for the good of tho ser
vice, based on the opinions of honest atod intel
ligent officers.
The Senate refused to hear the answer,
yeas only 15.
Senator Johnson asked: "Did you at any

Answer. Ye;- ; Senator Johnson asked, will
you state what he said his purpose wan? Ob
jeetiou. Chase decided the qncsthui admissi
ble as it tended to show the import of the
President's action. Chase was .sustained 20 to
25. Shearman commenced, wheu ButUr inter
rupted, but Sherman thought best to proceed
ill his own way. Tdic.President told Sherman
that, uudor tho relations of Stauton to wauls
other members of the Cabinet aud the Presi
dent, be could not have the War Department
administered properly in the interest of the
urmy and -the whole country, while Stautou
remained Scerotrry, aud iu a desiro to promote
aud care for those iutcrcsts he tendered Sher
man the positiou of Secretary of War. Sher
man asked the Prcsidcut why ho did not, have
the case made up by bis lawyers po as to bring
about a change without involving him, an offi
cer in the army, in the matter. Tho President
replied that it could nut bu done ; but if it
could not bo done ; but if it could be brought
before court Stanton's caso would not stand an
hour. Stanbcry asked a question. Butler ob
jected. Chase ruled that Stanbcry could ask
relative to the facts elicited by Senator John
sou's question. Appeal. Debate ensued,
pending which Butler asked whether the ques
tion was put by 'he Senator from Maryland as
counsel for the President. Mr. Johnson rose
aud admhii: tercd Butler a sharp rnbukc.
Butler was abashed. Pinn?y Sherman pro
ceeded. At the first iutorviow nothing very
definite was said by cither. During the
second the President expressed a desire to
have tho constitutionality of tho Tenure
of Office bill tested, aud told Sherman that
Stautou would offer no resistance. Sher
man did not know Stauton as woll fts the Pre
sident knew him. Stan ton is a coward. Shor
man gave no positive nnswor. but answered in
writing. Senator Henderson nsked did tho
President on cither occasion oxpress a firm de
termination to remove Stauton. Shorman an
swered that tho President never oxprosscd his
intention to use foreo, but seemed dctormiued
that their relations should eensc. Sonator
Howard asked what did tho President soy
about forco. Sherman repeated the President's
belief that Stauton would resist. Henderson
asked whether Sherman gavo the President ad
vice; but the Senate refused to hear.
The managers summoned Sherman forte
morrow; and he left tho stand.
Tho ovidopoe regarding Thomas' arrest was
resumed, and tho Court adjotuncd.
