c ojrTniBUTom&JL. CONGRESSIONAL PLAN OF SUFFRAGE. Tho Cinstitutional right of our Representatives to be admitted to their seats in Congress is as un v doubted as that of our Senators, and as both rest npon .tho same grounds, our remarks in our issue of last -week apply to tho one as well as to the oth? er. We therefore refrain from further discussing the point, knowing full well that it is uboIcss to argue constitutional points with the dominant par? ty, and that tho appetencies of that party are to? wards a total rejection of all constitutional limita? tions. Radical theories are solemnly propounded &8 the supreme law of the land, and where tho Constitution forbids the recognition and enforce? ment of such theories, that instrument is cither contemptuously set aside, or, as far as possible, amended to co.ver thoir theories. Having succeed? ed during tho last session of Congress in prevent? ing our Senators and Representatives from taking their seats, the Republicans advanced one step farther, and in their proffered amendment to the Constitution, assumed for Congress a constitutional right to reguiate the right of suffrage within the States. Of all their invasions of the constitution? al rights of the States, this is the most palpable, arrogant and untenable. Just so far as the Con? stitution asserts any control over the question of suffrage, that power has been exhausted in the in? strument itself, and establishes a constitutional qualification which may not be abolished or alter? ed by Congressional enactment. The Constitution says: "The Electors in each State shall have the qualifications requisite for Electors of the most numerous branch of tho State Legislature." Article 1.?Section 2. Does this clause of the Constitution protend to fix the right of suffrage in a State ? So far from it, it clearly ramits the whole question to the authority and ac? tion of the State. If Massachusetts permits ne? groes to vote for Representatives to her Legisla? ture, then tho constitutional right of the negro to vote for her Representatives to Congress is estab? lished beyond a doubt. But his right to do so is conferred, not by the Constitution or by Congress, for both are powerless to confer the right, but by action of the State itself, in declaring him a Citi? zen and enfranchising him. As the right of suf? frage is regulated by each State for itself, the qualifications of voters are as varied as the legisla? tion of the different States. In South Carolina, ?11 free white men, native born or naturalized, of the age of twenty-one years, are recognized as citizens, and are alone entitled to vote and hold office. She does not, in a political sense, recog? nize the Negro, Indian or Chinaman as a citizen, nor authorize them to vote for her members of the Legislature; if not, then by the express terms of the Constitution of the United States, they have no right to vote for her Representatives to Con? gress. Her action is as final and conclusive as that of Massachusetts, and there is no appeal from the decision of either of them. Massachusetts has declared the negro a citizen and entitled to vote. South Carolina has decided to the reverse, and Congress is as impotent under the Constitu? tion to compel Massachusetts to disfranchise tho negro, as it is powerless to enforce South Carolina to enfranchise him. Tho members of tho State Legislatures are the constitutional electors to choose C. S. Senators, and will any cne pretend that Congress has the right to establish the quali? fications of members of the State Legislatures ? And yet, why not, if it has the right to say who shall vote for Representatives T Section 4, Article I, of the Constitution reads thus : "Tho times, places and manner of holding elections for Sena? tors and Representatives shall bo prescribed in each State by the Legislatures thereof; but Con? gress may at any time by law make or alter ouch regulations, except as to the places of choosing Senators;" which article, the Radicals assert, vesta in Congress the power "to make or alter by taw such regulations as shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislatures thereof as to the manner of electing Senators and Representatives." This is a barefaced assumption. The clause has no reference to tho qualifications of voters within the States, but applies simply to the formalities of time;- place and method under which elections should be conducted?it refers to the lime when the election shall be held, the place at which the polls shall be opened, and the manner of voting. This view Is sustained by the words of Madisox, used at the time of its adoption. He says. "These were words of great latitude. It was impossible to foresee all the abuses that might bo mado of the discretionary power; whether the electors should vote by ballot or viva voce ; should assemble at this place or that place; should be divided into dis? tricts, or all meet at one place; should all vote for the representatives, or all in a district vote for a number allotted to tho district?these and many other points would depend on the Legislatures, and might materially affect the appointment." (8d Vol. Madison papers, page 1280.) How far Mr. Madison favored this cheek on the Legislatures, and tho meaning whioh he attached to the restriction contained in tho clause, he in? forms us in the Federalist, page 279. Speaking of tho power to be conferred upon the national government, he says: "Its authority would be expressly restricted to the regulation of tho times, the places and manner of elections. The qualifica? tions of the persons who may choose or bo chosen, as has been remarked upon another occasion, are defined and fixed in the Constitution, and are un? alterable by the Legislature." For further confir? mation of our riews of this clause, see Towles' Analysis of the Constitution, page 81, and road the clause as offered in the report of the commit? tee on details, and the various modifications of the clause until it was adopted in its present shape. The words were changed to restrict the meaning of the sentence, and make it strictly applicable to the words "times, places and manner." The construction of the Radioals, to disfranchise Southern voters, is not only violativc of tho plain? est provisions of tho Constitution, but all recogni? sed construction of the language of a written Con? stitution, which is the basis of law. F. HORSEY, SUCCESSOR OF ais, Caps anb ?fafo (gforite, No. 25HAYNE STREET, CHARLESTON, S. C. Dec 6, 18G? 25 LAW CARD. THE undersigned announces that he has resumed the practice of the Law, and will promptly attend to any business entrusted to his care on the Wes? tern Circuit. He solicits the patronage of his friends and former patrons. He has formed a partnership for Anderson District with A. T. Bbotxsb, Esq., in aU litigated State and Civil Ca? ses. He can be consulted at the store-room of Stringer & Dean, in Belton, until tho 22d Februa? ry next. WARREN D. WIEKES. Dec 6, I860 20 2 REPORT OF GEH. SICKLES. The report of tho commanding General in this Department has been submitted to the Secretary of War, and is published in several exchanges.? We can ouly present some general extracts, but must congratulate the people of Anderson that this officer has designated our District as "all quiet." Tho following is a roview of the opera? tions and conditions of affairs during the year: j Tho military occupation of the territory by de? tachments of garrisoning postB, embracing one or more counties, has restored order, afforded ?eou- | rity for person and property, and encouraged tho I resumption of agricultural, industrial aud com? mercial employments. For the necessary garri? sons and'the detachments required to mako the post organination efficient throughout the depart? ment, tiirec battalions of infantry and throe squad? rons of cavalry, with four companies of artillery for the forts aud permanent works, will be suffi? cient. Notwithstanding the gravity of some exceptional occurrences incident to the close of a long war, tranquility and order have beeu restored under martial .law, contemporaneously with successivo concessions of jurisdiction to civil authority, and the gradual reduction of tho army to peaco estab? lishment. In certain localities dislurbod by bands of out? laws, many of them fugitives from justice in these and other States, and paroled rebel soldiers, who continue to commit the' worst, crimes and disturb tho peaee of neighborhoods, the exercise of the power of arrest and punishment under martial law is the only reliable security for life and property. The civil authorities fail to suppress these organi? zations and punish the outrages committed. Mag? istrates, constablos, jurors and witnesses, residing j far from a garrison, are intimidated by threats of j retaliation from enforcing tho ordinary legal re I medies against these bandits and guerillas. , The material prosperity of these States, injured almost irreparably by the war, seems likely to be restored through emancipation. Although some time must elapso before their productions will be equal in quantity to the product before the war, tho increased value of the staples raised will Boon make up the equivalent. Capital, enterprise and population are coming from the North. With these will be provided increased facilities for cul? ture, manufacture and trade. Remarkable success has rewarded many diligont and judicious plant? ers, who have paid liberal wages in cash, and treated their laborers kindly. Evidence accumu? lates to prove the general disposition of the negroes to work voluntarily and faithfully for wages, or for themselves as tenants and as small proprietors. Education, the enjoyment of their earnings, the security of family ties, the possession of civil rights, and the practice of Divine worship, are ex? erting their salutary influence upon the conduct, intelligence and thrift of tho freed people. Tho two races, alienated by war and suddenly separa? ted by emancipation, are becoming gradually re? conciled. Thero arc good reasons for the boliof that tho fortunate exemption of this department from tho riots and turbulent collisions which have occurred elsewhere is attributable in the main to tho pro? hibition of all armed organizations, whether of | police, patrols "regulators" or militia. Tho or? ganization of an efficient police and constabulary in the several towns and counties has been uni? formly encouraged, and tho troops have always supported the civil authority in the execution of J the laws and in the preservation of order whenever the employment of armed force has been neces? sary aud proper. Tho lawful enrolment of the militia has not been preventod; but while tho United States forces occupy tho territory no occa? sion is likely to arise for tho servico of any other armed force. The annexed paragraphs upon "Rebel Associa? tions" will be particularly interesting to tho people of this section, but wo aro compelled to regret that the General has not added an account of tho out? rages committed by the command charged with the investigation alluded to: It has likewise been found necessary to prohibit associations of assemblages composed of persons who served im the rebel armies, and having for their object the perpetuation of any military or other organization engaged in the rebellion. This prohibition has not been enforced against any so? ciety which has, in good faith, confined its action to the charitable relief of disabled and indigent survivqr8, and tho ordinary observances for the burial of the dead Recently a meeeting of one of these associations was made the occasion for an address delivered by General Wade Hampton, in which he is reported to have commented upon tho Government and tho armies of the United States, and especially upon the operations of Generals Sherman and Sheridan, in a manner well calculated to incite discontent and hostility against the authorities of the United States. I have directed an inquiry into the matter, in order that the atisociation of rebel soldiers may be suppressed, and General Hampton admonished to observe the terras of his parole, if, upon investi? gation, it shall appear to have been disregarded in this instance. ?
