CHARLESTON. FRIDAY MORNING, MAY 7, 1869. Calling Oat ?he Militia. We printed on Monday last s circular signed by a man hamed Isaac San? ders, giving notice that a mass meeting would be bald on May 2, to organ lie the militia. Ibis circular was posted np at Monck's Corner, on the Northeastern Railroad, ?nd was followed by a second, in which the day of meeting was changed to Mayl. The second circular goes far beyond the first, as it gives not only the purpose for which the meeting WM to be held, bu? also tho object for which the militia is to he formed. It is not said that it ii done in obedience to ah order of Governor Scott, and, except in Abbeville, no snob order, direct er implied, is known to have been issued. Sanders, however, may be pre? sumed to have had some reason, good or bad, for the faith that was in him, as he declares that the militia is ?to regulate "things generally." The peculiar virtue of this announcement lies in the fact that it may mean anything and everything. The colored people are to take their choice at the bidding of the militia showman, and may, as they please, understand that the new organisation is to take the plaoe of the moribond Bureau, and pat in their posses? sion the never-to-be-forgotten "forty acres ?and a mule;" or that they will be paid so many dollars monthly for wearing a. uni? form *nd carrying a rifle of the most im? proved pattern, that work by them and theirs will be needed never more. Some of the leading militia organizers wert asked what was the meaning of the phrase "to "reg?late things generally," and the an? swer ws?, "that when anything wai done "tarong by anybody the eompany would take "them np and examine the matter, and "pvnith tuck as they thought deserved it." According lo this, the militiamen expect to have more power than ?B confided to the legislative, judicial and executive depart? ments of the State Government Ta? State tution of the United States; bat the militia company is not restricted in authority, and may, when "anything ie don? wrong by "anybody," arrest the offender, examine the matter, and punish "snob aa they think de "serve it." And doubtless, according to the Ideas of Sanders and hie mates, any nnfort&aie white man who objecta to the formation of a militia company will be thought to deserve it. Strange to eaj, there still seemed to be some trouble in bringing the colored peo? ple to th? scratch. Even the prospect of becoming members bf a plenary court, with the privilege of shooting and being shot, failed to excite the expected enthusiasm. Sanders, therefore, threatened .the recu? sants with the penitentiary. When remon? strated with in tegafd to this and other illegal acta which he had committed, San? ders said-"I AK A RADICAL." This, in? deed, is justification enough. We do not suppose that any member of the present State Government is particularly squeamish, or cares very much whether the negro militiamen do or do not threaten and ab usc the white people. They do not reflect that these proceedings are more dangerous to the white Radioal than to the odored man, because for the last there is some excuse, while for the first there is none, if the negroes form organisations to regulate things generally -whether with or without the authority of this bastard government, lt matters not-the white people will bo tempted to do the same. What is right fol the one. s right for the other. What the one doeb under tyrannical law of the State, the other will do by authority of the first law of. Nature-self-preservation. The negroes, for the most part, have nothing to lose and everything to gain. They are told constantly that Governor Scott is all pow? erful and all wise, and it will be difficult to bold them in check, if they are once for? mally enrolled, either ?to regulate things ?generally" or "for the preservation of the "peace." It is for this reason that we so strenuously object to th's whole business of calling out the militia. There is no neces? sity c 0 say again that the white people will not serre with or near a negro soldiery or be ruled by them. That declaration has been re-echoed in every quarter of the State, and need not be repeated here. The ignorance of the negro, and the malice of his advisers, are the elements of danger. If he would take his gua and gay ooat and content himself with practicing the "goose "step" or "right shoulder shift," allowing the white people and his own wiser breth? ren to sow and reap as they pleased, it would not be neeessary for as to say one word. Bat this cannot be. The proceed? ings at Monck's Corner show what the militiamen expect to do, and it may be summed up in a few words : First, to coerce every colored man into tbe ranks. 8econd, to do what they will with the lives and estates of the white people. This is the whole programme as laid down by one of their number, and this it is which compels os to set oar faces against this whole mili, tia mockery, which may begin in harmless placards, bat will not as harmlessly end. Nor must it be forgotten that every man knows whence the inspiration comes, and where the first bolts may fall. General Butler a nd the Alabama Claims. _ .? In discussing the Alabama claims, it must always be borne in mind that if Eng? land was wrong in recognizing the South? ern Confederacy, we have the same cause for complaint against Franoe and Spain, and that any of the threo could set off against the claim of the United States the action of the Federal government in ac? knowledging the South as belligerent. These views are sustained by so extreme a Radical as O en er al Butler, who, in a reoent conversation with a New York correspon? dent, said: "Tho thesis of Mr. Sumner's speech, as I "understand it, is that England committed an "almost unpardonable sin-at least one to be "atoned for only by full payment of all dam "ages, immediate or consequential-in her too "early according to the insurgents belligerent "rights; in allowing the escape of the Alabama, "and in Belling arms and munitions of war "to the South. Of course, the last legally re? sulted from the first; for after belligerency is "accorded by a nation there is no objection to "the sale of arms by any neutral nation to the "belligerent. We sold arms to Mexico? as "against the French invasion; we supplied "mulei to the French to transport their lu g "gage trains from Vera Cruz to Mexico. So "we bought arms of all nations in Europe. 80 "there is nothing in our neutrality laws against "our selling arms either to Peru or Chili, and "we have been selling them arms in their war "against Spain. "Therefore the gravity of Mr. Sumner's ac '-cusation depends upon the propriety of the "recognition by England of the rights of bel? ligerency is the rebels. But we must renie m "ber that our complaint in that behalf is as "grave and commanding against France and "Spain as against England. 1 am inclined to "think Mr. Sumner puts too much stress upon "the haste of this recognition as to Urne, be "cause on the 17th of July by formal declara "tion of war we acknowledged the Confederacy "as belligerent ; sud in s war which lasted four "years, whether belligerency was acknowledged "on the 17th of May or the 17th of July of the "first year, certainly could not be a matter of | '?so grave consequence, if it might be acknowl? edged at all." It being conceded that England had the law on her side, what, then, is to b* done ! General Butler's theory is that she took advantage of technical law to injure a friendly power, being determined to destroy the United States at all hazards, and that this is just as muoh au injury that requires reparation as though the acts had been done without technical legal justification. But how is the offender to be expected to con? cede thal he had not the law on his side when in point of fact he had ? England may have been unfriendly to the N'o-t h, but she was no less unfriendly to lib South. lu refusing lo join the Emperor Napoleon in recognizing the Southern Confederacy, her statesmen committed a blunder of which they already repent. This country, North and South, is dissatisfied with England, and England ls jealous of the American Union. Neither the dissatisfaction of the one nor the jealousy of the other, however, will fa? cilitate the settlement of the Alabama olaims. Butler himself is not in favor of | going to war, though he would have us await an opportunity when England is st Negotiations are futile as long as the de? mand is that Great Britain shall acknowl? edge that she was wrong in recognizing the South. The door of diplomaoy is dosed. War would be the total destruction of the commerce and trade of the country. What have we, then, to do but to wait sud reopen the question at a later day upon a basis whioh shall give this oountry all to which it is entitled, without attempting to impose upon England oonditions whioh national pride will not allow her for a moment to entertain? ... THE New York Times learns that General Gonzales, so highly esteemed by all who know him, is among the prisoners banished to the Island of Fernando Fo, a few weeks ago, by the Spanish Captain-General of Cuba. We unite in the call of the Times upon the American Government to investi? gate the matter forthwith, and demand a release of the General if improperly held asa prisoner. jusuma.
