Tho chief opponent of this 'dusky would-be postmaster is Captain D. A Moore, formerly of New York, who is said to be well recommended by the business mon of Columbia. The darkey, however, stands tbe best chance, and will be likely to win." [C. il "Wilder, the "darkey" alluded te, is not "a pore African," although he is an "ex-slave." On the contrary, he is a bright mulatto, tall, well made and rather handsome. He has the rudiments of an English education, is a civil follow, and would probably be as acceptable to the people ot' Columbia as his alleged "chief opponent," Captain D. H. Moore, formerly of " New York.-EDS.

CHARLESTON. THURSDAY HOSKING, MARCH 25, 1869 Ireland and thc English. The disestablishment of the Englis Church iu Ireland is only a question < time. This "badge of conquest" must b removed; for at the back of the Liberal ma jority of the House of Commons there i an earnest public sentiment which the mot recalcitrant peer will hardly care to fact The issue was made at the hustings, an every vote cast for a Liberal member was vote against the Irish Church. There it however, one view of this momentous sub jeot which has not been pressed upon publi attention, and it is-Whether disestab ment will satisfy ?the Irish people, remov every cause of disaffection, and make thee in feeling as in name the faithful and lovinj subjects of her Majesty the Queen? Looking calmly at the con di ion of Ire land and the genius of the Irish people we cannot come to the conclusion that thu Act of Disestablishment will heal Ireland'i wonnds and make her children happy, pros perons and free. The grievances of In lam are many and sore. They are not all o: them grievanoes of religion; nor do we fee that it is too much to say that there ar< Irislf Protestants as zealous as Irish Cat li? lies in demanding the absolute independ? ence of their people. Catholicity, we saj with Mr. Bright, "is not only a matter ol "faith, but of patriotism;" but we cannol admit the truth of his sweeping assertion that "Protestantism is the only fire that ia "destroying everything that is good or ?noble in Ireland." Had the measure whioh is now the sub? ject of debate in Parliament been adopted twenty years ago, it would have gone far to satisfy the wishes of the Irish. They were then comparatively helpless. There was no advancing tide of English liberal opinion to bear them on its crest. They lid not feel the moral and material support jf hundreds of thousands of Irish Ameri? cans, who now think and work for Ireland. But the situation is changed, and English Liberals are willing, and Irish Americans ire eager, to succor the countrymen of Grat? an, O'Connell and Burke. In England, the advanced Liberals, by he mouth of John Bright, demand the abo ition of the law of primogeniture. Mr. ?ruce, another Cabinet minister, recently aid that if the English Liberals demanded he vote by ballot, the Liberal Government vould grant it. Other changes are asked br which involve equally serious changes n the character of existing If.ws and cus oms. The English Church its elf is doomed, ind John Bright, ia the House of Commons, ays that "England's liberties were not 'secured by the oh-:rohes, but by the Puri 'tans and nonconformists." These things ;ive strength to Ireland; for, with one act if tardy justice done them, the Irish will te prompt to believe that the English Libe? rals will not refuse to accord them every .ational reform. If the popular current could be checked it this point, the Irish question would be dripped of its greatest danger. But as lohn Bright significantly said: "The Irish? 'men who have emigrated to the United 'States and Australia are watching anxi? ously the result of the question. The 'entire Fenian project was fed and kept ?alive by the sympathy of Americans- under 'th; idea that England never did justice to 'Ireland." This is no mere idea; it is a i ard fact. And, as well as we may judge, he Irish Americans will not meekly fold heir arms and abandon their brethren at tome, because the Irish Church is dises ablished and some millions of money a*e lc-, ote J to the relief of the destitute and )ocr. At the Fenian meeting held at Cooper institute, New York, on St. Patrick's day, General O'Neill said : "It was supposed by 'some that the disestablishment of the Irish 'Church would satisfy Irishmen; but this 'was a great mistake. The Lord Bishops 'were not the most objectionable Lords in 'Ireland. (Applause.) It is the land Lords 'that Irishmen are after, and they would 'never rest satisfied while the few great 'land Lords claim to own the soil of Ire? land. England would like to dupe the 'nations into a belief that the Irish dis 'affeotion was a Catholio disaffection. '(Cries of 'No! no!' and applause.) The 'Irish Catholics would fight and die, if ?need be, for justice to Irish Protestants. '(Great applause.) The Fenians were not 'fighting for any particular religion or for ?any particular sect; but for Ireland free ?and independent." This is undoubtedly tho popular pro ramme, and the United States Government rill not, perhaps dare not, thwart the bold rojects of the Fenian chiefs. There is much spending on the Irish vote; there are the till unsettled Alabama claims, and thc ?rospect of a foreign war might not be un topular with the masses. The Irish, therefore, have, in th/ politi al condition of England and in the active ? ympathy of America, an encouragement to j lersevere in their requests. They may feel hat each new concession is a sign of weak icss; and it seems most probable that, as ?ach new vantage ground is gained, the .rish people will increase their demands, ' mtil at last the universal cry shall be, not br a change in the tenant-right system, not br equal laws and equal taxes; but for the ibsolute independence of Ireland. _, , tm ? ?_ I WE GIVE PLACE, in another column, to a ' etter containing some sound practical sug- : ;estions, in regard to the new theatre rhich we are promised. We concur in the . rriter's view that the enterprise will pay -ell, besides being a substantial and l?st? ig benefit to the trade of our city. 1 j Mandamus Quashed. The opinion of Judge Carpenter, which we publish (his morning, quashing i* .*it of mandamus sued out by Mr. Pillsbury and his Aldermen against the Acting Mayor and Aldermen of Charleston, is based on the purely technical ground that mandamus is not the proper remedy. By agreement (he merits of the case were not dieoussed, but their consideration retained for the trial of the quo warranta between the same parties, which commences to-day. W. A. BISHOP, a colored representative*, wrote a letter to a State officer in Oconee, summoning him to Columbia for (rial, (he officer being charged with no offence, even against the majesty of the General Assem? bly. A Democratic representative intro? duced a resolution declaring so unwarrant? able an assumption of authority dangerous to -republican institutions, and'referring the whole matter to one' of the standing committees for its action. The resolution, in view of the facts, was as mild as milk* but it was at once laid on the table. A Re? publican, especially a colored brother, can do no wrong ! In A veto message, which we print this morning, Governor Scott says : " THE OB? JECT OF ADVERTISING IS PUBLICITY." Th?8 is sound sense but rank heresy, for the Radical doctrine reads that the only object of advertising-whether Federal, State or County-is to keep alive a bunch of sickly Radical sheets, miscaRed " newspapers, which, without advertising "pap," would speedily collapse and be indecent no more.
