IiENnY WAUt nIMfEKiiER ON THE FATE
OF SOUTH CAIONLIA.
It would he hard to find in the
history of modern nations a more
saddening or. disgusting picture of
the wreck and desolation of society
than is presented at this taoment in
Sonth Carolina, and the condition of
South Carolina, we suppose, while
-porhaps more picturesquely misera,
ble, is but a typo of the social
Wretchedness and the political shame
which attach to. the -ther States of
'the far South. These are facts which
concern not alone the States immedi.
stely immorged in this civic chaos.
Tihe nation is a partuershil) in dis
cases and disgraco is vcll as in
'enefits -; with the sulloring of one
member all the members suelr, and
whatever is a blot upon Texas or
'Georgia trains through to Maiee.
The time has fully arrived when all
bitiiiens who dto not believe that n'our
politica'! system can staniid anything
and defy anything" ihuuld conde
cend to cast soie Serious glauces
upon the hapless circumsita'nces of
our friends anld brethen of the South.
ern States. Of'this ve may be sure,
that. the preseit apathy of Northern
people upd thi suibject is largely
'coni itioned on their ignoramice of
'the real state of the case ; and the
difficulty with i us has been that we
would not all go to the South to see
for ourselves, and that we could
not thoroughly confido in the
'testi:ony of tho'.e who did
did go. It is greatly to be desired
that some Noribern m nc:1 of real
ability, and ot unquestionable repute
anong us, could pass through to the
iSouthern lands and study the actuil
bit-liILtion, and report to ues in terns
\vhich we could ultogether trust.
From this point of view, we deem
It an event to be particularly mncii
tioned Pthat one such citizen, Mr.
Jaums S. Pike, an old abolitioni.t, a
.journalist of high standing, and, by
appointment of President Lincoln,
late minister of the United States at
the [lague-, took tho trouble to go to
South Carolina during the last ses.
sion of the Legislaturo, and to spond
two monthIs it its capital in the atudy
of men and things. lie has now
mado his report, and has embodied it
in a little book, just issued by the
A ppletons, and bearing the gloomy
title that stands at the head of tbis
article. The.book is so smlall that
It can be read in an evening, but it
is large enough to give to every A mor
Joan anxious reflection for many a
diy.
Mr. Pike finds society in South
3irolina "bottom side up."' The
people of chaructur and culture, who,
In a normal and righteous state of
affairs, would gi'e di rection~
and tdne to public proceedings, are
trampled under foot by a host of
toting barbarians--"the most igno
rant democracy that mankind over
paw''-" the drogi of the popu latiou
hab ili tated in the robes of' t heir in
telligent predecessors, and aseerting
over them the rioe of ignorance anid
corruption through the inexorable
machinery of a majority of numbers."
Qarpet-bag h-ul Is at an end in South
Carolina, for the carpet-baggers were
on the outside at least, white mn.
Eten negroes tainIted with white
blood, and so unfortunate as to have
the inobl2 blackness of the ancestral
oomplexion debilitated into some
shade of yellow, are beginuinig to
feel the contemptuous antagonisih of
the unmixed African, who means to
have things all his own way there.
By sheer force of superior nuimibers
the ignorant and unprincipled class
es have taken complete possession of
the government of the State. And
what sort of a government have they
formed '? According to the tosti
mony of IMr. Pike, the rule of South
Carolina should not be dignified with
the name of a government. It is the
installation of a huge r-ystem of
brigandago~ The men who have had
it In control, and the umen who now
have it in bontrol, ai-e the picked
villains of the community. T1hey are
the hlghwaynmen of the State. They
aro professional legislative robbers.
They aro nien who have studied iandt
practiced the art of logalized theft.
They are in no sense different from,
or botter thatn, the men who fill tihe
prisons and penitentiaries of the
world. They are, in fact, of tprooise
ly that class, only more daring and
audaoious. The sole, base object Is
to gorge the indivlidual with public
plunder. Ihaving done it, they turs
around and buy immunity for their
acts by sharing their gain s with the
ignorant, pauporif~ed, besotted crowd
ifho hake lcsen thoem to the statiomi
they filll, and which enables thoem thut
to rob and plunder."
- If it be asko I boiv the'corruptio
of the South Carolina Governmen
differ from the exeptio'na'l ven diit
of certain Northern Legislatures, th
is Mr. Pike's ansi'r : The lattei
ivile less in effroutery had in dtgre
than the former, aId springing froi
different causes, can also be promptl
remedied by exposure and by au ap
peal to the intelligence and virtue o
the constituency ; in the otler east
there is no such tribuhalto appeal t<
It is a moral m6ra'ss,'in which ther
is neither standing nor holdin
ground." "8-) tainted is the. atinos
phere with corruption, so un'iversal
ly implicaLed is everybody about th
governincnt, of such a character art
the oriaments of society at the capi.
tal, that there is no such thing .as au
influential local opinion to be brough
against the scamnps. They plunder and
glory in it. 'llow did you get you
money 1' was asked of a prominen.
legislator and lobbyist. '1 stole it,
was the prompt reply."
The impression made upbn us by
Mr. Pike's report concerning the pros
trate State is that nothing can save
vociety there from utter dissolutiou
but the speedy achievement of rule
by tha classes who ought always to
rule. We regret that Mr. Pike, in
anuouneiug an opinion substantially
(he Samie as this. senms to us to imply
that, these classes can be ascertained
by color. We know that this cannot
be his real meaning, but the force
and value of his book arc likely to
he abiated y 'a certain indiscriminate
denunciation of black 'men because
they are white. %% hat is wanted to
save South Carolina is not a rally of
.vlit.c mn.ten against the black people;
but of loiest ineni of all colors
against soundrels of all colors.
We tasust not despair of the Repub

have becomo a den of thieves. 4nd
the specilie advice vhich Mr. iake
gives as a suggestion of remedy to
the people of that State is in the

A bee-raiser in New Englin'dl il
said to have 1atteitud a,: inventiou for
tie plotection of bees frotn. the at
tack., of' the honey tuoth, which enters
the hives at tight and rifles the
stores. The idea arose out of his fa
miliarity with the ..daily ro' tine n'at
of bees ouly, but of hens. flena, he
observed, retire to rest early ; bees
seek repose carlier still'; E6 sooher
are they sunk in slumber than the
moth stcis into their abode 'cid db.
vours the produce of their toil. He
has now built a stand of hives wit-h a
leu house above it. The bees iirst
betake thcemselves to their dwvelljI
acid settle thecmselves for the Pight.
The liens then come home to roost or
their perch, and, as they take theil
plaice up~on it, their weight sets some
simmyle miechanismca to work at once ani
shuts dowin the door of all the hives.
WVhen the day da wvns, however, thc
hens leave their roost, and the re
mioval of their weight fiomi the perch
raises thea hive doors and gives ogres
to the bees in time for their morning'

evils to the gazo and wonder of the

show to the North that the govern
