MuwjI D-aairy ? letter. Celnuol C. W. Dudley has joined the Ifsjhliean ranks; and in *|**4er to the -Charleston Courier givee hjfljiusiw for actis? with the dominant par>y. He throw? the blame of the ?conditio n ia which the State finds itself on the old who should have told the people E I tha aa they were defeated, the/ had no |fHgJh* ta dictate term*, hat were coav "^alWi to accept auch as were muds the ?oaastioas of peace. ft ? certain extent this may ha true. aWit was hard for the people to realize es ! that they did stand ia the of the conquered. Notwith their defeat, they were Dot in of mind that would make ?cry teachable pupils, learning It was difficult for the of South Carolina to realize that had swept ovor their land, ' taarfag op by its roots the old, whirling dihehr?t edifices 'from their foundation, ^heaving the very gound on which ahty Stood. Naturally a people arerse "mi innovation, clinging to all which they aeasidered sacred from age, they clang with desperate tenacity to a rope of jjinaV refusing to see that it was such, ?hi very few men of prominence rtho ?U counsel them against their, wishes, %tkt angrily denounced. The people of ', the South, not South Carolina alone, ?the proudly followed the banner of '. IpMs of the Confederacy, when that ?ace beloved leader ventured to counsel them to enlist ?oder the banner cf a ^*MSth, ~r,r.y spurned mm as a ie and n traitor. The minds of people were not in accord with such ; and we do not heitere that all "leaders'' combined could have con certain people that if they wished ta restore prosperity and harmony in t the .State they must do as Colonel Dud lay himself has done, and join the ranks of the ^Republican party. Tho logic of events is convincing. Our people have been, cror since the tertni fustion oi the war, striving to boat back the wares of Republicanism. Notwith standing their efforts, in one form and another, and by various names, they hare failed, utterly failed, and to day, ate 8^0, what many eyes arc loath to be hold, Republicanism strongly entrenched in South Carolina. ? Now, the people of the State did not /saxpose this possible; all the wisdom ol ^thinr "leaders" could not have convinced . 1thsan j hat the logic of events has. Now, then, is the time for the men who hare . led public opinion in the Stale to act, aad the people will find it much easier to follow their lead than they wosld have done some time ago. ? Who can doubt the good effect that it ^ would hare on the well-being of our S$ato if all of our prominent men?men who are beloved and honored?men like General Hampton and Butler, y would join the ranks of the Republican party, and work with it. Republicanism I weald assume a new phase1 among us, .?ad we venture to predict that harmony, ( . instead of discord would loign. I, ' From the first, we have had bot one i opinion rn this subject, and hare follow. ., c4 out oar honest convictions.

GEORG F, BOLIVE?, Financial and Busixiss Manaokr. Official Paper of the) State) and ' of OrnnKcburg County. SATURDAY, APRIL 13,1872. For President: Ulysses S. Grant, The License Law. t Since our last issue we havo carefully ezamiucd tho question as to the condi tional ity of the .new license law. The result of our investigation is an in creased confidence in the position here tofore assumed by us, to wit: that the protest recently published in the Char leston Artra was based upon a complete and remarkable misapprehension of j some of tho plainest principles of Consti tutional Law. This fact bus probably been at length recognised by the "eminent counsel"' to' whose "suggestion*" we uro indebted for the remarkable document in question; as the lawyers, merchants, and other interested parlies iu Charleston are yielding prompt and general obedience to the law. Attention, Doctors! We aro glad lo remark that the Leg Mature, during its recent session, passed an set declaring that all the provisions and remedies of the Agricultural Lien Law of 1866 "shall henceforth apply to persons advancing medicines or medical attendance as a physician;" with the limitation however that the fee for each snd every professional visit shall not exceed one dollar, and ten cents per mile for travel, which price embraces the prescription. From the language used, which is somewhat obscure, it is doubtful whether the set applies to other physicians than those who practice outside of the limits of incorporated cities, towns or villages. It rosy slso he doubtful whether the provisions for a lien on orops arc not in conflict with certain constitutional pro visions as to the Homestead. Whatovcr may bo the eventual ruling of the Courts on these points, the Leg islature has evidently shown a desire to aid, te tho oxteot of its powor, ouo of &w iSviv utioiirTiug, nar?-wor?iug and poorly paid of all professional classes, ?that of the couutry Doctors.
