FRI?AY MORNING, MAY 7, 1869. Callina Oat ?lae Militia. We printed on Monday last a circular signed by a -man named isaac San? ders, giving notice that a mass meeting would be held on May 2, to organ? ize the militia. This circular was posted up at Monet's Corner, on tho Northeastern .Railroad, and was followed by a second, in whioh the day of meeting was ohanged to May 1. The second ciroular goes far beyond the first, as it gives net only the purpose for whioh the meeting was to be held, but "also the object for whioh the militia is to be formed. It is not said that lt ii done in obedience to an order of Governor Scott, and, except in Abbeville, no suoh order, direct or 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 organization is to take tho place of the moribund Burean, and, put in their posses? sion the never-to-be-forgotten "forty acres "and a mule;" or that they will be paid BO many dollars monthly for wearing a uni? form and carrying a rifle of the. most im proved pattern, thai 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 "regulate things generally," and the an? swer was, "that when anything waa done "wrong by anybody the company would take "them up and examine the matter, and "punish such aa they though^ deterred it." Aooording to this, the militiamen expect to have more power than is confided to the legislative, judicial sud executive depart? ments of the State Government. Th? State may sometimes be restrained by the Consti? tution of the United States; but the militia company is not restricted in authority, and may, wnen ..anyuiiug ut none wrong by "anybody," arrest the offender, examine the matter, and punish "such as they think de "serye it." And doubtless, aooording to the ideas of Sanders and hie mates, any unfortunate white man who objects to the formation of a militia company will be thought to deserve it. Strange to say, there still seemed to be some trouble in bringing the colored peo? ple to the scratch. Even the prospect of becoming members of a plenary court, with the privilege of shooting and being abet, failed to excite the expected enthusiasm. Sanders, therefore, threatened the recu? sants with the penitentiary. When remon? strated with in regard to this and other illegal acts which he had committed, San? ders said-"I AM A RADICAL." This, in? deed* is justification enough. We do not suppose that any member of the present State Government is particularly squeamish, or earea very much whether the negrp militiame? do or do not threaten and abus ?the white people. They do not reflect that these procoedinga are more dangerous to the white Rad io al than to the colored man, beoause for the last there is some excuse, while for the first there is none. If tho negroes form organizations to regulate things generally -whether with or without the authority of tbjs bastard government, it matters not-the white people will bv tempted to do the same. What ia right foi the one'is right for the other. What th* one does under tyranaioal law of the State, ike other wiii do by authority of the first law of Nature-self-preservation. The negroes, for the most part, nave nothing to loBe and everything to gain. They ar? told conatantly that Governor Scott is all pow? erful and all wise, and it will oe diffioult to hold them in oheok, if they are once for? mally enrolled, either "to regulate things "generally" or "for Cte preservation of the "peace." It is for this, reason that we so strenuously object to th xs .whole business of calling oat the militia. There is no neces? sity t o say again that tho white people will not serve 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 bs repeated here. The ignorance of the negro, and the malice of his advisers, are'tao elements of danger. If he would take his gua sad gay coat 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 necessary for us to say OBS word. But this cannot be. The proceed inga at Moaok's Comer show what the militiamen expect to do, and it may be summed up in a few words: First, to coerce every colored man into tko ranks. Second, todo wkat they will with the lives and .states of the whits people. This I? the whole programme as laid down by oas of their number, sud this it ls whioh compels us to set our faces against this whole mili? tia mockery, whioh may begin in harmless placards, but will not os harmlessly end. Nor must ii be forgotten that every maa knows whence Ike inspiration comos, and where the first bolto may fall. ' General Butler and t ne Alabainn Clnlm?. In difouseiog the Alabama claims, it must alway? be borne in mind that if Eng? land was wrong in recognizing the South? ern Confederacy, we haye the same cause for oomplaint against France and Spain, and tbat any of the three oould 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 H lid ic al as General Butler, who, in a recent 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 aooording to the insurgents belligerent "rights; in allowing the escape of the Alabama, "and in selling arms and munitions of war "to the South. Cf course, the last legally re? sulted from the first; for after belligerency is "accorded by a nation there is no objection to "the salo of arms by any neutral natien to tho "bolligoront. We sold arms to Mexico as "against the French invasion; we supplied "mulos to the Fronen to transport their lug? gage trains from Yera Cruz to Mexico. So "we bought arms of all nations in Europe. So "there is nothing in our neutrality laws against "Cur 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 "r?cognition by England of the rights of bel "ligereuoy in the rebels. But we must remem "ber that our complaint in that behalf is as "grave and commanding against Franco and "Spain as against England. I am inclined to "think Mr. Sumner puts too much stress upon "the haste of this recognition as to time, be "oause on the 17 tb of July by formal doola ra "tion of war we acknowledged the Confederacy "as belligerent; and in a 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 bs done ? General Butler's theory is that she took advantage of teohnioal law to injure a friendly power, being determined to destroy the United States at all hazards, and that this is just as much an injury that requires reparation as though the ads had been done without teohnioal legal justification. But how is the offender to bs expeoted to con? cede that he had not the law on his side when in point of fact he had ? England may have been unfriendly to the North, but she was no less unfriendly to the South. In refusing to 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 is jealous of the American Union. Neither the dissatisfaction of Ute one nor the jealousy of the other, however, will fa? cilitate the settlement of the ^Alabama elaims. Butler himself is not in favor of going to war, though he would have us await an opportunity when England is at war and then let loose a fleet of Alabamas Negotiations are futile as long as the de? mand is that Great Britain shall acknowi eage mat nus was wrong in recognizing tue South. The door of diplomaoy is olosed War would be the total destruction of the commerce and trade of the country. What have we, then, to do but to wait and reopen the question at a later day upon a basis whioh Shall give this country all to which it is entitled, without attempting to impose upon England conditions whioh national pride will not allow her for a moment to entertain? THE New York Times learns that General Gomales, so highly esteemed by all who know him, is among tue prisoners banished to the Island of Fernando Po, a few weeks sgo, by the Spanish Captain-General of Cuba. We unite in the oall of the Times upon the American Government to investi? gate the matter forthwith, and demand a release of the General if improperly held as ft prisoner. _j JjMttKt._ YOU UtGilT TO INBUHE3 IN ..THE CHARLESTON BRANCH LIFE ASSOC I AT IO N OF AMERICA, .
