Ein&rd, Newberry. Samuel Drouthitt, Greenville C. H. Wm. Moore, Abbevillo C. H. Julina Poppe, Anderson C. H. Wita* ia Loy alt y I . The following eloquent extract is from the speech of Hon. Edgar Co? wan, in the United States Senate, July 6, 1866, on the mis-called recon? struction propositions which have since passed Congress: Suppose you pass this amendment to the Constitution", and suppose the Southern States, either for tho pur? pose of getting themselves into linc with yon, or for the purpose of in? creasing their political power under it, should admit the negro to the franchise, will your children, and your homes and Government be the morejseenre for that? What is the difficulty under which you labor to? day? Is it that you have not voters enough? Is it that the food upon which the demagogue fattens lias grown scarce, and he has grown thin? Or is it the reverse? It is not because demagogism is rife everywhere, and is not demagogism rife just in pro? portion as you furnish it the material upon whioh to work? Degrade your franchise, put it down into the hands of men who have no intelligence, no virtue, and, what is worst of all, no . independence-put it into the hands of men who have nothing to hope . from it except in so far as they can use it for corrupt purposes, and shall we be safer then, I ask? Do you sup? pose that the people of the States in which there aro negroes, will send you more intelligent, more learned, more virtuous and more independent Senators and Representatives here if *you make this change than they would without? Mr. Wilson-They will send more loyal men. Mr. Cowan-"Loyal?" I ask Mas-' SBchusett8 what is "loyal?" What is the meaning of the word? A fellow that votes with youl Thai is like the chap defining "orthodox"-"ortho? dox is the way I believe; heterodox is the tray the other mon believes." "Loyal" means an abolitionist, I sup? pose. At least, I find that everybody who does not happen to be an aboli? tionist, or tarred with that stick, is said to be disloyal. Loyalty, Mr. Pre? sident, is a very simple word. Loy alty moans obedience to the laws. ' It means legality. Legalis means law as well as lex means it. When a man alleges his loyalty to me, let mc see his reverence for the Constitution and the laws. Show me a man who dis? regards either; show me a man who does not believe in the Constitution which brought this country to such a pitch of prosperity for seventy-five years, ?nd made us* so happy a peo !>le; show me a man that lays sacri egious hands upon that instrument, especially when I know that, half the time, he does not understand it, and that he never read a commentary upon it in his life; show mo that man, and I show you ono who is not loyal. Shew me a man, who, for temporary advantage, either for himself or his party, would set a foot upou one of the country's laws, and he is not loyal. Itjs time we were beginning to un? derstand the meaning of words in this country. It is time, now that tho war is over, when passion has sub? sided, and when reason ought to como back and resume her throne, that we ourselves should be reasonable. Let . us look at this in the light of the past; let us look ut it calmly and coolly as wo survey it iu by-gone thousands of years, not as it looks to the eye, blood-shot with passion, and red with rage that is hardly dying out Let tho lower stock indulge in passion, if it is to be indulged in; but here, in this, the highest forum of the nation-here, where, if any? where, there should be justice and fairness, and the brood view over thu whole country, which takes it all in, and which considers all the people as the people, virtuous, intelligent, in? dependent enough to govern the coun? try; let us here be reasonable, and especially let us know the meaning of our words. A Gi-nilaal Work. Thc Richmond Times is somewhat .hopeful as to au improvement among our Northern frieuds. It says: Evidence is not wanting to raise the belief that each revolving year will cause a deeper blnsh to mantle thc Northern cheek, whenever the recollection of thc niauner in which we warred upon, shall cause calm re? flection. Even already repentance is apparent in some quarters. The statue of Washington, which was carried by Hunter in triumph from Lexington, has been lately returned. It was an article which published too plainly thc shame of its captor, and this emotion, rather than conscience, induced its return. It could not bo dissembled like watches and spoons, nor could its identity be so easily de? stroyed as plate and jewelry, from which it was only necessary to erase the initials, sell, or melt them into bullion. The stolen statue of the "Father of his Country," was not a convenient or creditable possession; and, although rather lute in the day, it was finally deemed judicious to return it. In addition to this gratifying symp? tom of apparent returning conscience, we have heard of several watches having been returned to their owners in the South, and we have heard also of one young lady who had the promise of the restoration of her piano. It is likewise said that a pair of ?boots, stolen from a negro in Hanover by one of Sheridan's men, have been returned to the owner, very neatly half-soled, and ac? companied by a bill for the cost of repairs. All this, we say, indicates the growth of sound sentiments-gradual? ly. Bvr the time several European wars, by the force of example, shall have demonstrated to our Northern neighbors that they did not exactly carry on n civilized conflict, they will probably be ultimately induced to malee us still further reparation. Faying foi- Loyal lat's Slaves. We find the following in the New York Sun, of the 25th ultimo: The Senate has adopted an amend? ment to thc general appropriation bill, which provides that the Secre tary of War shall "pay out of the commutation draft fund, for every slave belonging to loyal men, enlisted in tlie army, an amount not to exceed 8300 each."' The quotation is not very lucid, but we suppose the object of the bill is to pay loyal slaveholders at the rabi of $300 for every slave belonging to them, who enlisted in the Union army. This is a very ex? pensive, and, we think, a rather in? consistent movement on the part of Congress. Under the operation of the proposed measure, at least half the slaveholders whose "chattels" enlist? ed in the army, would be able to re? cover tho said $300 for every enlist? ment. lt is stipulated that only "loyal" men shall be thus poid, but where shall the distinction be drawn between the loyal and tho disloyal, who shall give tho decision? We venture to say that almost any slave? holder, who was not remarkably con? spicuous in tho rebellion, could ad? duce plenty of the testimony in proof of his constant and unwavering I loyalty. This very argument was ad j-duced in Congress in opposition to the reimbursement of loyal Soul bern men for losses sustained during the war, aud it w:-.s that point, probably, which led to the rejection of all such claims. Why pay for the loss in negroes and not for the loss in other chattels? The negro soldiers received full pay and were well provided for in the army; we can, therefore, see no i reason why their masters should be paid $300 a piece for them, unless j Congress is disposed to pay tho ! ! "loyal" Southerners in full for all their war losses. If shivery is wrong, and if tho "loyal" Southerners had no right to hold men in bondage, as j the Republican party have always j claimed, why should Congress thus purchase the slave soldiers at the rate of $300 a head? - . A dandy negro from Chicago was arrested last Thursday ia Mobile for swindling negroes by means of a new variety f the drop game. He bad a shot bag nearly full of new copper or brass coin, somewhat resembling ten dollar gold pieces. His game was to pretend to find it on tho street, and to sell it, or a portion thereof, to somo unsophisticated negro for greenbacks. He was arrested in his first attempt. John Sidney, of Portland, whose truuk was stolen during the late fire, had it returned to him the other night under singular circumstances. A thief, having stolen a trunk from a I woman, camed it to Sidney's shop, I and asked to leave it for a while, under I somo pretence. Sidney consented, j and upon examining it, discovered his own property. Ho did not give it up I again. SPECIAL NOTICES.

Bourne, a well-known citizen of Pittsburg, Pa.: PrrTSBURO, May 10, 1SGC. Messrs. Hosteller <fc Smi?i-GENTLEMEN: During a visit to tho West last fall, I con? tracted chills and fever, which brought me to my bed, and finally terminated in typhoid fever, and confined mo to my room for several months, during which time I was physically so prostrated that I almost despaired of ever recovering my health having entirely lost my appetite, for days not beingable to eat a morsel; added to which I was much distressed with a reeling sensation in my head, and passed many sleepless nights-all from debility caused by my prostrate condition, brought about by tho fever. At this stage of my condi? tion, a friend recommended me to use your Stomach Bitters; hut being morally ouposed to tho use of stimulants in any form, I at first declined, but afterwards yielded my prejudices, and, after taking the medicine for several weeks, as directed, my appetite returned, and with it I am rapidly regain? ing my former strength and vigor. My sleep (from the loss of which I had suffer? ed much) has uevor been better than it is now, and tho reeling sensation, before alluded to, has entirely left mc. My bowels, which were much constipated and irregu? lar, arc now quite natural, and, in fact, 1 am quite glad to say that i feel myself a new man, and tender you this testimonial <d' my appreciation of your valuable pre? paration in order that others suffering as 1 have may avail themselves of its virtues, which prejudice prevented me from enjoy? ing for so long a period. 1 may also add that my physician, after seeing the beneti- I cial effect your bitters had ou me, recoin- i mended that I use them regularly.

A NEW AND GUANO EPOCH IN MLDI< INK. Dr. Maggicl is the founder of a new medi? cal sys temi The qnantitarians, whose vast internal doses enfeeble tho stomach and paralyze the bowels, must give precedence to the mm who restores health and appe? tite, widi from one to two of bis extraordi? nary Pills, and cures the most virulent sores with a box or so of his wonderful and all-healing Salve. These two great speci? fics of the Doctor are fast superseding all the stereotyped nostrums of the day. Ex? traordinary cures by Maggiol's Tills and Salve have opened tho eyes of the public to the inefficiency of the (so-called) remedies of others, and upon which people have so long blindly depended. Maggiel's bills arc not of tho class that are swallowed by the dozen, and of which every box full taken creates an absolute necessity for another. One or two of Maggiel's Pills suffices to placo the bowels in perfect order, tone the stomach, create an appetite and render the spirits light and buoyant. There is no griping and no reaction in the form of con? stipation. If the liver is affected, its t une linns aro restored; and if the nervous sys? tem is feeble, it is invigorated. This hist quality makes the medicines very desirable for tho wonts of delicate females. Ulcerous and orup'ive diseases are literally cxtin \ guished hy the disinfectant power of Mag? giel's Salvo.
