COLUMBIA. Sunday Morning, January 27, 1867. ICi'p.iblicaii Institutions in America. A cotcniporary-Ibo "Wilmington Dispatch -hus come to the conclusion j that republican institutions in tbis j country have not been a blessing to i the people. It admits that,- under their influence, the United States j have advanced rapidly to power, .?mt j that their very prosperity has worked ? a ruin, which, very probably, would j have been escaped under other ans- j pices, and adds, that "too much j greatness has made the universal j Yankee nation mad, and that it has j led them to excesses which are jast as sure to destroy them as thc night j is certain to follow the setting sun." j There is some truth in thc follow? ing paragraphs: "The Declaration of Indepen? dence, with its bold Democratic ideas, to establish thc principles of which our uueestors fought with a fortitude and patience that had then never been surpassed, had better have slumbered in inglorious silence in thc brain of Jefferson than have been thc precursor of the iliad of woes which has followed in the path of its remarkable conquest. **Then tho Reign of Terror, which, in France, wrought so much of suf? fering, and from the effects of which thc people of that country have not yet recovered, had not disgraced with its horrible annals the page of his? tory. Then the curse which has fallon upon the posterity of thc grand old men of tho Revolution had been escaped. Then, though not so full j of the monuments of genius, and perhaps not occupying so great a space in thc eye of the world as now, the people of this continent would have been far happier. "'England now stands thc foremost of all the countries of the earth. Her Government is move stable, her peo? ple arc happier and more contented, \ -and all the benefits of republicanism Are enjoyed without any of those evil fruits which have been reaped else? where. This is owing to the fact that her three combined forms of Govern- j mont operate to check each other, and prevent king, or lords, or people from gaining either too great an ascendancy over tin- other. "Republicanism in France has re? lapsed into despotism, absolute and unlimited ; in Mexico and South America, it has resulted in anarchy; in the United States, it has brought ?desolating warfare, cruel inhumani? ties, bloodshed, bankruptcy, and fast? ened on sections a bitter feud which time cannot efface." There is little doubt but that views and opinions similar to these ure be? coming more diffused among thc American people, within the past four or five years, than ever before,* from thc fact that is now apparent, of a tendency to make the American re? public a central and consolidated Go? vernment, which is tu be substituted for a Union of sovereign States. But wc do not believe, with our eotempo rary, tina all thc evils which afflicted France, or all the calamities which have befallen the people of this coun? try, were thc offspring of the adop? tion of the Declaration of Independ? ence by the founders of the republic; nor do we believe that there are ele? ments of self-destruction in repub? lican institutions themselves. No; the evils alluded to spring from more andean fountains-from bad passions and infidelity in France, and from Puritanical fanaticism, with its witch burning, superstitious heresies, in this country. All thc evils that have ?ever fallen upon this country, and her terrible prostration at thc pre? sent time, can be traced back to the Puritanical .stuck which peopled New England in early days, and which has ever since kept seething and boiling the cauldron of mischief, until they have brought the country to the verge of ruin. Root ont that clement from thc Slate; banish its rnischiev us policy and cold-blooded fanaticism from tho high places of oiliee . ul power, and the country will soon sub? side into that healthful repose so ne? cessary to thc welfare and happiness of any people. Therefore, we would say to our co temporary, let us not despair of the future, nor change thc principles of true republicanism, or their opera? tion, properly conducted, with thc dire evils referred to. We still think, though wc arc passing through a ter? rible ordeal just now, that these prin? ciples, and thc Constitution, based upon them, will ultimately prevail, and that, in maintaining them, thc good sense of tho American people will show to thc world that they arc capable of self-government. Thc amount of Government and other American securities held in Europe is $000,000,000. An Unprejudiced Opinion. The events now transpiring in this j distracted country, from their mag? nitude and importance, as wei! as from the results which may follow, arc naturally attracting the attention of those in other countries, who feel an interest in thc political affairs of the nations of the world. The opi? nions of such observers come from a standpoint where they arc not in? fluenced by passion and prejudice^ and where the vision is unblinded by partisanship or selfish ambition. A good evidence of this may bo found in the subjoined paragraph quoted by the Bichmond Times from its prominent namesake of London, the great organ of British opinion. Our Richmond cotemporary, in' quoting from the English paper, pithily re? marks: "A wise king of antiqnity always obtained the views of learned foreign - i ors before determining important questions affecting his realm. This he did, because they were not inter ? ested like his own subjects and j would not deceive him by flattery. ! American statesmanship, in the halls of national legislation, might pro? fitably imitate this ancient wisdom. "These reflections in which wo have indulged have been suggested by tho perusal of a masterly article from thc London Times 'on the en? croachments of Congress upon the rights of the States, and its absorp? tion of the Presidential powers.' The views presented are so strikingly true and just that a pithy extract will be better than any attempt at condensation : "In observing the chango which American institutions are suffering, it must bc observed that we pass no opinion on thc immediate objects of the dominant party in Congress. The views of the Republicans may be ab? solutely unexceptionable, but thc means by which they endeavor to at? tain them appear to be destructive to thc schemes of Government designed by thc authors of the federation. The Government of the United States, ; at this hour, is not a representative Government; Congress is not a de? liberative body. These are facts of observation, and to insist upon them, no more implies 2 criticism of the ! Republican policy than to say that th? Government of Russia is auto? cratic involves a condemnation of the ! imperial regime. But'the failure of Congress as a deliberative body, and of tlic representative institutions of thc State, is a fact of the highest im? portance, and it rAay be questioned whether .".ny cuds can be worth such a cost." Here, says our Richmond cotem? porary, is a calm, temperate judg . ment, in the correctness of which ; every min i not fanatical and Puri? tanical will acquiesce. And yet there arc millions of mind-; at the North I incapable of appreciating these I truths, which, as the Times says, arc . simply "facts of observation." I Verily, there are none so blind as i those who icill md see. i No saying is more truthful than j this; but their eyes will be opened \ and their vision stimulated and sharp, j ened, should the measures of the de ' struetives be accomplished, and they I will ojien upon scenes that thc think I ing men of the North, as well as those of England, foresee will bi scenes of destruction-political, finan? cial and commercial. Everybody, i but t'ne bad, selfish and ambitious ! men now in Congress, sees this, nm] j deplores the threatened calamity. NEW YORK AND int: SOUTH.-The j New York Times, of Wednesday, thus I endorses tho call for a meeting in aid of thc South: "Thc meeting called at the Coopei Institute, to take measures with the view of relieving the destitution I which exists in many parts of the South, will be held on Friday even? ing. The call for thc meeting should bc generously and heartily responded to. It comes from responsiblo citi? zens. It is justified by ascertained facts, which point with unmistakable force to the famiuc-striekeu condition of large communities in moro than ono Southern State. The sharp mi? sery of hunger is to-day leaving its horrible mark on thousands there who, three or five years ago, wert well-to-do-many of them living iu luxurious comfort. The appeal mus! bc met. We havo tho means of meet? ing it. Let there, then, be a large meeting at the Cooper Instituto or I Friday, so that our citizens may heal the truth in detail, learn what is theil duty, and form resolutions to set that duty performed." A TERRITORIAL SECRETARY IN TROT; RLE.-Despatches from San Francis co, of thc 22d instant, state that thc Secretary of Idaho Territory has beer compelled to seek protection of th? United States troops, from violence from members I the Legislature because ho refused to pay them a pei I diem until further instructions fron j Washington. The cost of manufacturing ont I pound of cotton in New England i? i about eleven cents. Tile Mnrd?r of Col. Ste?-?lm?n. A brief paragraph in our paper? a day or two since, mentioned the mur? der of Col. Steedman by negroes. I We extract tho following particulars from n letter in Hie Charleston JYetcs: Col. J. M. St Iuian, in the vigor of his manhood, und iu thc midst of . his usefulness as one of tho best of citizens, came suddenly to his death under the following heart-rending circumstances, illustrating the de? plorable statu of affairs to which our once peaceful and happy country has come: Engaged in merchandizing in a part of Lexington District, where, since the termination of the war, it became necessary to guard against the depredations of burglars, he und his little family occupied apartments j within his store. On the night of thc 8th January, as they were sitting around a bright winter's lire, the doors and windows all bolted or lock? ed, seeming to give security to all within, tho dogs, as faithful senti? nels, gave evidence of approaching danger .without. Tile Colonel arose, | advanced toward tho ??jut door, i when his wife, taking counsel "from I her fears," from information that I day derived from a negro woman, of which she had also advised tho Colo? nel, remonstrated with him against tho imprudence of opening it; beg? ging him, instead, to go up stairs and look out at the window; but this fearless-man, having faced danger on many a bloody field during the late war, now that, peace prevailed, re garding it as weakness not to feel ! secure within his own castle, heeded ! not her gentle admonition. He had j barely unlooked and opened the door, when his devoted wife's worst | fears were fully realized by thc report I of a gun; the entire load from it hav- j ing lodged in her husband's body, j He still, however, retaining a proper ? presence of rniud, had barely time | to close and bolt the door before the j vile assassins-three negro men- - were thundering at it, to force an entrance. The Colonel calle 1 for his gun; the resolute wife hastily handed it to him. He warned the assailants that so sure as they entered he would shoot them. Still, they knocked, kicked and pushed the door to open it; the wounded Colonel and his fee? ble, though resoluto, wife, pressing io return to keep it closed. What an awful moment 1 The Colonel, being no longer able to stand or use his gun, laid his dying body against the foot of thc do. >r, si ill to aid his wifo in keeping it closed, directing her, at the same time, to ?hoot them if they entered. Declaring aloud her purpose to do so, she called the name of one of the fiends, the supposed leader of the hand, and told him to go away; that if money was what they were after, the}' could get none there, as all had been sent away. This, perhaps, with the fear that the Colonel w.ts still aldo to resist, and would unto death, caused them to desist from further efforts. Tue Colonel lived hut about three ?oura after receiving the fatal wound; his ; wife and two little children, with pcr , haps a nurse, being the only wit? nesses of the awful scenes within j I that beleaguered 1 ouse, not knowing I how soon it might be sot on lire, and that then they would have to choose between being burned alive or meet? ing death by the violent hands of the murderers of the husband and father, there lying a corpse. The day after the murder, a jury of inquest was properly empaunelled by tho nearest magistrate, and suc? ceeded in drawing out such evidence from various witnesses as justified the rendering a verdict that they be ! lieved the deceased came to his death I by a -wound from a gun, fired from the hands of one of a party of throe negroes-Henry, Emery and .Joe known to have been prowling about thc neighborhood doing mischief, and all of whom the jurors aforesaid be? lieved to have been parties to this in? famous crime of murder, with inten? tion to rob. Thc two former went off with Sher? man's army, and had b::t recently returned to this part of thc country entirely too lazy to work for an ho? nest living, and fully imbued with tho radical idea of equality, boasfingly telling other negroes of the various murders they had committed, and saying that they had papers from the "Yankees" which would protect them from harm, do what they would, should the white people here attempt to molest them. Of course, they found but few believers in their mira? culous stories. Still, it appears they succeeded in making a dupe of the fellow Joe, who beeamo involved with them in this their last sad trans? action. Nuw ENGLAND AMUSEMENTS. -Dore aro two nice paragraphs: At Taunton, Mass., a few daj-s since, some scoundrel stabbed, in the hips and sides, all tho horses tied around thc city square. A fellow, in thc neighborhood of Durham, Maine, is engaged in tho pleasant business of disembowelling farmers' horses. He lia? boen at it for a long time, and they cannot fiud out who he is. "Simen Cameron," says an ex? change, hbegan life as a journeyman printer." We are not to understand by this that lie literally entered tho world with a composing stick in his hand, but only that ho went to the case ns- soon as he was old enou ;h to know how to steal sorts and duplicate his proof. SPECULATING ON THE DEAD.-A j writer in thc Memphis Avalanche', says that thc Federal dead at La-1 Grange, Tenn., are being removed to Memphis by contract. He tells j tho following hard story about the contractors: The contracts is to take ap and rc- : move to Memphis only the bodies of Federal soldiers; and yet thc con? tractor does not scruple to invade thc graves ol' Confederates. A gentleman of LuGrange was present at the vil? lage cemetery the other day, when thc burial parly of this contractor i began to dig down into thc grave of ; Captain Champion, of tho famous ' "Jd Missouri (Confederate) cavalry. ; This gentleman told them that they ; were digging into the grave of a Con? federate-told them that it was the grave of Captain Champion, the gal laut young Confederate hero, who w is killed by a Minnie ball through the head, in the battle of Middleburg, fought by Gen. Frank C. Armstrong, against the Federal forces stationed at Bolivar, in August, 1862-described the exact place where the ball enter? ed, which was fully verified, when thc burial party, persisting in digging down into the grave, reached Hie collin, and opening it, examined the body; and yet, determined not to lose their labor -or by a preconcerted understanding with their employer. I know not which-they proceeded to box it up. and absolutely sent it to Memphis along with the rest. Other gentlemen informed me that many, if not most, of the Confederate! dead, buried at La Grange, had been taken up and removed to Memphis by this burial party. Again: This parly exhumed the remains of a great many Federal sol? diers hythe roadside, South of La Grange, tore oil' the collin lids, and left the bodies lying there exposed for two weeks andu half, to the plain view of all passers-by, and to the de? predations of tho hogs and dogs. MABYZIA.NI> ANO CONGRESS.-Mary? land has acquired a self-constituted representative on the Hoer of the House. We are not at all satisfied that the good popio of that State will feel flatt? red by.the too willing labors of Mr. Ward, of New York, who linds that the % ist interests of the Empire State are insufficient for his expan? sive benevolence. He undertook on Monday to speak for "thc loyal men"' of Maryland, and rather uneourteons ly declined to hear Col. Phelps, who bravely fought for the Union in thc late war, and, one would think, having been handsomely sustained by his fellow-citizens, was entitled tc speak for them. Lut Mr. Ward, like too many of our radical friends, fancies that he knows what people need better than they know themselves. We believe that the people have managed their pwn affairs pretty successfully without Mr. Ward's aid, and we suspect thal they can dispense with it to 4he end of time. At least they arecnough <>! freemen to prefer that, in that as ii; other things, they shall be permittee to exorcisa their own discretion. [National Intelligencer.
