COLUMBIA.
Sunday Morning, December 2, 1866.
A New Proposition.
At a meeting of the Pennsylvania
branch of tho "Freedmen's Union
Commission," Chief Justice Chase,
ou the 22d ultimo, delivered a speech
and defined his position. HP ex?
pressed Iiis conviction that the con?
stitutional amendments now before
the country constitute tho most mag?
nanimous offer ever made to a people
so recently engaged iu "rebellion."
He did not say, however, that if they
?were not accepted by the Southern
people, we might expect still better
terms.
He made the remark, in the course
of his speech, that if we of the South
think there is a better mode of recon?
struction-a more generous mode,
better calculated, to secure the peace
and harmony of this great land-let
tliem come forward aud propose it,
and the people will listen and judge.
He further said: . "I know what a
nation of passion and prejudice is
it is violent and unreasonable; but it
is transient-it speedily passes away. "
The point we deem most important
in the speech is this, that instead of
wilfully and -wantonly forcing upon
the people of this section what they
consider oppressive und unjust mea?
sures, he-and Ave presume there are
others in the Republican party who
think with him-is willing that they
should have a voice in Adjusting the
terms of settlement. He has not told
us bow that voice is to bo heard, or
through what agencies the South is
to make known her views; but still
this declaration of a leading Republi?
can, and from one who expects to
get the nomination'iof his party for
President, is something tangible, and
would have been more so bad ho in?
timated how the South was to come
forward aud propose.
A contemporary-the Nashville
Union and American-in view of theso
utterances by Chief Justice Chase,
suggests that the several States of
the South, through their Legislatures
or otherwise, appoint delegates to a
conference or convention, to be held
in Washington, at an early day after
the meeting of Congress, to make thc
proposition alluded to. It says:
'The delegates should be represen?
tative men of prudence, wisdom and
discretion-whose voice would carry
with it the weight and opinion oi
the Southern people. Let the Le?
gislature now in session move iu the
matter, and in other States there
may be such au expression from the
press as to warrant the Governors in
making the proposed appointments.
This is, in our estimation, the short?
est mode of expressing ourselves, and
the most authoritative, outside of ii
direct Congressional representation.'
"We copy?this suggestion, and give
it for what it is worth. It is unques?
tionably tho duty of 1be Southern
people, to accept any proposition, not
dishonorable, that promises a resto?
ration of peace and harmony, betweer
the two sections of our country.
They have, in many ways, since thc
close of the war, manifested theil
desire for a permanent peace, anc
will at any time accept au honorabh
proposition for such a consummation
The submission of amendments to thc
Constitution, coupled with degrading
terms, is but mockery ; for well the;
know who propose them, that tin
people of tho South, humbled, down
trodden and impoverished as the;
miybe, could never voluntarily en
slave themselves to a faction, whicl
seeks to overthrow the eonstitutioi
and destroy the liberties of the coun
try. f _
The Springfield (Mass.) Republican
speaking of the movement by certai
politicians in favor of impeaching th
President, relates the following: "T
an influential Republican in Esse
County, who remonstrated with Bul
1er against making an attempt t
impeach the President, the Genere
replied, "You don't suppose me sue
a fool as to knock my head against
stone wall in that way, I hope."
A bill has passed a first reading i
the Tennessee House of Represent!
tives, providing hereafter an oath- c
allegiance to the State nnd Geuer?
Government will be sufficient proof c
loyalty, and entitle those subscribin
to it the privilege of voting.
RELIEF FOR THE SOUTH.-It lu
been determined by some of tl
Episcopal churches in New York, i
devote their Thanksgiving coDti
butions to the relief of sufTerii
parishes in the South.
John D, Defrees, late public prie
er, is : uggested in several Indiai
journals as a candidate for Unit?
States Senator from that State, vi
Gen. Henry S. Lane, who declin
a re-election.
?tcconulrtirtioii.
Wo have seen, a letter, said to be
written by a United States General,
in which he s?3's lie does not know,
however true their fidelity and peace?
ful disposition, what the people of
the South may be worried into doing,
by thc radicals. In connection with
this idea, we wert1 struck with an
article in the Richmond Times, sonic
da;,s ago, which conclusively argued,
that had the right of self-government
been conceded to the Southern States
and they had been permitted to go in
peace, Congress would not have found
recoustructiou as difficult as it ap?
pears to bc.
With no oppressive party at the
North, with no bloody gulf separating
us from that section and its people,
what would have been more natural
than that public .sentiment in the
South would have soou reversed the
decree of separation? Even had we
triumphed, we doubt not but that
chivalric and impulsive spirit which
characterizes our people, would in all
probability have offered to the North
that Union to which we were more
attached than her people, until they
made it unendurable by the uso and
abuse of power.
These views ought to be pouder*ed
upon by the Northern people. As to
the radical faction offering argument
or persuasion to its members, would
be casting pearls before swine.

THE Finn IX GREE>TVTLI?E.-The
Mountaineer states that the disas?
trous fire in that town, on Tu*\?uay
last, originated about dusk, in the cel?
lar of Mr. Steen's store, where ttere
was an amount of oil and other in?
flammable matter stowed. A person
attached to the store had gone into
the cellar, for the purpose of draw?
ing some red rock oil, when, having
a caudle in his hand, the oil ignited
and in a short time the buildiug
was in flames. The aggregate loss
of property we do not think over-esti?
mated at $?2,000, of which but 4,000
is covered by insurance. The Hall
building, together with the store ad?
joining, was valued at about $9,000,
and belonged to the estate of Vardry
McKee, deceased;no insurance. Mr.
Thomas Steen had just received a
heavy stock of family groceries, pro?
visions, etc. ; which, together with
the stock previously on hand, was
valued at $18,000, and but a very
small portion of it was saved. In?
sured for 83,000. Dr. J. M. West?
moreland lost nearly his entire stock
of drugs, medicines, etc., valued at
about 84.000, together will all his
books and accounts; $1,000 insurance.
Rev. C. H. Lanneau and Mr. John
Burscy lost about $1,000 worth of
photographic material. No insurance.
The Masonic Chapter and Odd Fel?
lows Lodge lost all of their furniture,
worth about Si,000. No insurance.
Mr. Walter fortunately had his
stock of drugs, etc> removed before
his store took fire; but he must have
been damaged to the extent of three
or four hundred dollars by breakages
and thefts.
