Not tile Majority.
Thc New York World, of the 11th
instant, has an article based upon
some remarks of one of the most in?
telligent English journals-the Pall
Mall Gazette-.iud says that that
journal discusses the subject with
more breadth of philosophy than
knowledge of facts. It maiutains,
very truly, that no mere mechanism
of Go vern nient, no mere constitu?
tional forms, can stand against thc
will of a majority of the people, iu a
country where the people possess the
sovereignty, lint its attempt to for?
tify this maxim hy recent develop?
ments in American politics, is beside
the mark, as the World says, in con?
sequence of the toe ready credence
tho Gazelle and other pupers have
given to the claims of the Republican
party, that they are a majority of the
American people.
Thc World dissipates thie bold
assumption by tho party, and shows
that the aggregate Republican ma?
jorities in the recent Stato elections
did not differ materially from those
in the Presidential election of 18G4,
and gives us the following figures:
To Mr. Lincoln.2,223,033
To General McClellan.1,81h. 73-1
Lincoln's majority. 4.11,281
But in that election eleven States
did not vote. Had they voted, they
would have given a solid opposition
to Mr. Lincoln, as they would now to
the Republican party. Thc present
number of their voters cannot bc less
than the Presidential vote of 18G0
the losses by thc war being more
than compensated by the youths be?
tween fifteen and twenty-one who
have siuce become voters. Thc num?
ber of votes cast in 18G0 by the ex?
cluded States was:
In eleven States . 889,511
Add McClellan's veto.1,811,75-1
Anti-Republican strength.2,701,205
Republican st reng t h.2.223,035
Anti-R 'publican majority. 478,200
It thus appears Unit the opposition
to the Republican party could spare
voters enough to make an army of
half a million of men, an' still be
equal to their opponents in numbers.
The World adds:
"If the majority of the people were
really against us, our ability to block
the Republican policy and bold tho
party in a dead-lock would be a tech?
nical, transient advantage. We should
be poising a pyramid on its apex, !
liable every moment b> see it jostled j
out of its unstable equilibrium to fall I
and crush us. But such is not our
conditio:.. We have nol only the
Presiden' and the Supreme <.' ?urt on j
our .sid.-, Inn a large majority of the
winde people. If our institutions
are to be shaken into chaos and re?
moulded, the majority possess the
right, the power, and, what is mon*,
the trill, t" have a hand in the opera?
tion, it the Constitution is to be
broken down to make way for the
rule- of the unrestraint d majority, we
shah t ike ciro that it is tho real ma?
jority, not a sham one, that controls
the destiny of the country."
In common with the conservatives
of the whole country, North and
South, we thank the World for this
. exposition o? the spurious claims of
the radicals, in which they allege
thai they have the majority of the
American people with them in their
nefarious policy and schemes. Bat
the party in power may take the I
ground that thc ' leven excluded j
State.1, form no part ol' the American
Union, and have no .have in admit:- :
istering tb- uuV.ir.s of Government,
further than to pay taxes. We feel !
encouraged. houevi r, io hope irom
the above statistics, thai tao reign of I
radicalism must soon give place to j
the anbei' judgment of i hu people, ?
country one,, move united and pros-1
perons. ?
MuRDJtu tx EDGEFIELIX -We learn j
from the Advertiser that Col. Steed
man, formerly of tho Gth South Caro- j
lina Volunteers, was killed on his own
piazza by two negrees. Tiny were j
overhauled at Aiken and confessed to
the killing. Money and other booty
were the motives of the negroes.
A letter from New York says:
"A memorial to Congress against
tho impeachment of the President is
circulating lor signatures among thc
merchants, bankers, and business
men. None bivi Republicans are ask?
ed to sign it. It is probable that a
public meeting will bo called for
some popular expression of senti?
ment on tho same subject."

Wim. TUE PEOTEE SUBMIT TO IT?
The proposition introduced in the
House of Representatives to impeach
the President meets with no respon?
sive echo in the hearts of tho people.
On the contrary, nothing but con?
demnation of the. infamous measure
has yet been manifested either by thc
masses or thc press of tho country.
Even tho most extreme of thc radical
journals deprecate the movement as
wild, impracticable, and only calcu?
lated to benefit} and strengthen thc
President, and to ultimate in damage
and injury to the Republican party.
Indeed, wc have yet to meet with the
first paper of standing or influence
with any party that has ventured to
commend tho step, or to speak of it
in terms at all favorable. Referring
to this subject, the Const it nt io ned
Union, published at Washington city,
says:
"It is monstrous, however, that a
man like Andrew Johnson, who has
had no ambition in life but to serve
his country, who has devoted himself
zealously and self-sacrificingly to her
best interests, should bo su assailed
by men who aro traitors to thc Con?
stitution, aud who have declared
officially that if tho "law stands in
the way" of their schemes, "so much
the worse for that law." We tell
thom that tho country is tired of this
thing. The people will not permit the
impeachment of P'resilient Joh/isu".
And if radicalism does not come to
its senses soon, tho people of the
country will take the matter in their
own -hands, and abolish radicalism.
We speak whereof we know."
THE SOUTHERN PEOPLE LAUDED DY
GP.EEI.EY.-This reason for such re?
jection [that the North may but wc
can't proscribe our late leaders] has a
manly aspect that appeals to every
generous mind. But whether you
agree in this view or not, the fact
remains. There are fourteen -States
that will not ratify tho amendment,
and it can only bc carried over their
heads by ignoring them in the count,
nud assuming that three-fourths of
the States at present represented in
Congress will suffice to ratify. That
assumption, however, will certainly
be controverted in the Supreme
Court, and probably over-ruled.
After our recent experience, this is v.
rock to be avoided.
It is therfore plain that Congress
must and will undertake tho work ol
re-organizing the States nov,- unrep?
resented in either House.

AN INGENIOUS SWINDLE.-Ono of
our citizens has recently been marte :
the victim of a swindling scheme, 1
which seems to have been conducted
with considerable skill, and to have
been long in preparation. It appears 1
that about two years since, Mr.
Francis Faxon, of this city, formerly
engaged iu the shoe business, was in?
troduced to a New York dealer in
diamonds and other precious stones,
named Noot. The man soon began
to borrow money of Mr. Faxon, in
small sums at first, but gradually in-1
j creasing tho amounts, and paying!
I high rates of interest on his loans, j
and meeting his obligations promptly, j
JJ y this meaus, he secured the confi?
dence of Mr. Faxon to such an ex?
tent that he appears to have been
willing to trust his almost constant
customer and creditor with any
amount which he might desire.
Of late, the loans have increased,
until they readied the large sum of
$130,000, secured by the deposits of
diamonds and other valuables in the
vault of a bank in New York, and of
which Mr. Faxon retained the key.
About ten days ago, the swindler i
sent word to Mr. Faxon that he ?
wished to remove the securities to
another place of deposit, and desired ?
Mr. Faxon to send on the key of the
vault, in which they then were. Mr.
Faxon unwisely acceded to luis re?
quest, and since that time has neither
been able to secure the return of the
key, nor obtain any clue to the ?
whereabouts of the man.
