COLUMBIA.
Friday Morning, March 15, 1867.
Tlie Government,
The New York Times, in the fol?
lowing paragraph, very truthfully
states the position in which the Go?
vernment now stands, and by which
branch of it the country is ruled at
present.
Speaking of the recently enacted
laws for the government of the
Southern States, it says:
"We do not wonder that they
deem the terms required harsh ami
illiberal. We agree in so regarding
them. We deem them unjust and
inexpedient-at war witli the Consti?
tution and hostile to the dictates of
a wise and considerate statesman?
ship. But how does this help their
case? Suppose the terms imposed
are unconstitutional-how docs the
South expect to avert their imposi?
tion ? Has it not discovered that,
wherever the right may be, the power
of this Government rests with. Con?
gress? That body overrules alike the
vetoes of the President and the de?
cisions of the Supreme Court; and
in neither case is there any authority
thut eau override its authority or
avert its action."
To this condition has the country
been brought, as thus frankly con?
fessed by a Republican journal, by
the action of one or two hundred
politicians in Congress. Wo say the
mischievous work was done by them,
for we cannot believe that the people
of the United States, even by return?
ing such representatives to Congress,
contemplated or anticipated the mea?
sures which, the Times asserts, "arc
at war with the Constitution and
hostile to the dictates of a wise and
considerate statesmanship."
But these measures have become
law, and, as such, acquiescence is th?
duty of those to whom they apply,
so long as they are in force. Tin
Times disavows any intention of ad
vising the people of the South, in tin
article from which we extract, but i
tells us what the purposes of Con
gross are. and what may he in ston
for us, should the present recon
structiou measures be opposed bj
the Southern people. It says:
"The real purpose of the extrem?
men in Congress is to deprive al
who took part in the rebellion of tin
right to vote, and to sive thc black
and loyal whites full and exclusivi
possession of political power in tin
Southern Stales. The Louisiana bil
embodied this purpose and passe?
the House by a Large majority. Jus
as surely as the South rejects th
terms now offered, will that bill L
re-enacted? These' conditions ma;
seem harsh, but tho.se: ure harsher
These may be unjust, humiliating
repugnant to '-very sentiment of sn
cial pride and self-respect-but tlo>s
are more .--i>; and if these arc reject eil
in thc spirit and temper brought t
their discussion by those who ar
urging resistance to them, nothing
in our judgment, can save the Sont
from the utmost rigor of the Louis:
ana bill, with Sum lier's amendment
and Stevens' confiscation act append
cd thereto."
As (jar readers know. Mr.
mond, the editor of the Times, was
member of the Congress which pas:
ed the measure.-, referred to, and it :
reasonable to suppose that he is a<
quuiuted with the purposes of th
party of which he is a moderate men
ber. It is on this account that w
pub?i h his written opinion, and sim
lar statements from many other ten
perate journals of the North, expr?s
ing the same views and belief of tl
present and possible future of tl
Southern people, so long as the pi
Jitieal party now dominant in tl
law-making branch of the Govern
meiji, shall be able to retain its powi
and authority. Far be it from us
attempt to awe the people' into a
affirmatory action by such public
tious. All the advice we have
give them we have already put for
in our columns; but the South h
reached ?1 crisis in thc progress cu' h
destiny, which requires the most ea
nest consideration of her people. V
hold that sucli a consideration cann
be given unless they arc made a
quainted with the designs of tho
who, for the present, at least, ho.
the reins ol governmental power, ai
who can rule them with a rod
iron or ?1 wand of mercy. Fuels, n
sentiment or former ideas of the rig
sort of Government, are what t
people ol these States have now to 1
with, and it is to the solemn eon
deration of these facts and delibei
tion thereon, that we counsel them
apply themselves to, and to act 011 t
honest convictions they may acqui
by pursuing such a course.
This is !?'? time to influence p;>lii
cal or sectional passions and prej
dices, e ven if there was an oppori
nitv for doing so; but it is a time for
the exercise ->f sound judgment, in
shaping our own destiny and that of
those who come after tis. Precipi?
tate action or rash counsels can only j
aggravate the evils which have fear- j
fully multiplied and pressed upon
the Southern people. Let them do
all that within them lies for the resto?
ration of peace and harmony-all
that they can do under the adverse
circumstances iu which they are
placed. Let us hope that time, *he
great molli?er of passions, combined
with patient endurance on our part,
and a sense of returning justice on
the part of our adversaries, will de?
monstrate the necessity of a return
to constitutional principles.
All Wrong.
The Winnsboro Nervs, of yester?
day, had a rumor that a mob pre?
vented the regular term of the Court
of General Sessions and Common
Pleas, in Yorkville, from holding its
sessions.
The Neics, in a postscript, says that
there was a strong indication that
the court would be prevented pro?
ceeding, yet the interposition of a
few stopped violent action that was
anticipated.
We deeply regret to hear of this,
the first symptom that has shown it?
self in this State of opposition to law
and order. We presume that thc
general sneing for debts, or to pre?
vent judgments being obtained, was
the cause of this ebullition of popu?
lar feeling, which, fortunately, was
prevented from developing itself into
an act of violence, which would be
disgracef ul to our people, and would,
furthermore, be trumpeted in blazing
capitals in every radical newspaper at
the North, as a verification of the
preamble of Sherman's bill, (now a
law,) that "whereas no adequate pro?
tection to life and property exists in
the rebel States, and that, therefore,
peace and'good order should be en?
forced in said States," &c. As we
have said before, obedience to the
law-State or Federal-is the first j
duty of the good citizen. As it is j
the first manifestation of disorder in i
this State, so we hope it will be the !
last. ^_ j
Tm: l- i.ODDS IN TUE SOUTH.-Vir?
ginia, Tennessee and Georgia, have
recently been visited with the heaviest
freshest- that has occurred within
the memory of the oldest inhabitant.
The whole valley, from Lynchburg
to Chattanooga, has been swept by
the swollen streams. The Virginia
and Tennessee Railroad is badly
damaged, and two bridges on the
East Tennessee and Virginia Railroad
are gone. The Richmond papers re- !
port a heavy rise in the James Uiver.
At Locketts all the wharves were sub- j
merged and many cellars inundated, j
The- freshet in the vicinity of Peters- |
burg caused some damage. Through- i
oui Georgia and Alabama, bridges
have been swept off in every direction. \
A despatch from Chattanooga, Ten- i
nessee, dated the 12th, says the water ?
was four feet deep in the depot, and
over seven feet in the car-shed. The
damage and sufferings of the people
of Chattanooga and the surrounding
country are immense. Nineteen dead !
bodies were seen by one man while
passing from Lookout Mountain to
the city in a skin*.
A NEW TICKET.-The New York
Herald, of Saturday last, suggests a
Presidential ticket for the coming
election. It proposes the names of
Gens. U. S. Grant and R. il. Lee for
President and vice-President. This
ticket would take, if it was practica?
ble.
THE BUEEATJ OF EDUCATION.-We
noticed, a short time since, the es?
tablishment of a National Bureau of
Ed ucation, by Act of Congress. From
the following Washington despatch,
it will be seen that a Connecticut
teacher has received the appointment
of Superintendent:
"Prof. Henry Barnard, of Con?
necticut, was recently nominated by
the President as Superintendent of
the Department of Education, a Na?
tional Bureau established by recent
Act of Congress. Prof. Barnard is
widely known for Iiis labors and effi
ciency in behalf of the cause of edu
cati MI, and the appointment is uni?
versally commended as one eminently
lit to be made."
All the wit of thc world, it seems,
is not monopolized by Irishmen, as
the following, from the San Antonio
(Texas) Express, referring to the ob?
sequies "Gen. Johnston, at Galves?
ton, wu* "mw. it says: If General
Johnston ? as alive, he would tell the
fools to Iiis ashes alone.
WliolcMiile Trade of Charleston.
We extract the following from the 1
Charleston News, of Friday:
The impression that New York
was the only commercial city
in the United States, is gradually
leaving thc brains-of tho few -who
were deluded into a visit to that
metropolis with the hope of purchas?
ing cheaper goods. These wanderers
are now fast returning to their first
love, and have become convinced
that Charleston is not what her ene?
mies represent her. but that she still
possesses tho same reputation and
the same elements of success that
made her so popular as a market in
by-gone years. The old houses are
gradually being revived, and even
those lately formed, are filled with
familiar faces. Tho wholesale mer?
chants of Charleston have determin?
ed that tho old city shall not retro?
grade, and they have? used every
means in their power, and have
offered every inducement ta tin'it
former customers, to bring them
back.
Although the stocks are not as
large as they formerly were, they
have been selected with even moro
care,, and the quantity is lost sight
of in tho quality and the prices
of the articles now offered for sale.
Tho facilities for communicating
with the city are now perfect; and
although her sister cities have enter?
ed the list as competitors with
Charleston for the country trade,
yet the latter has been steadily re?
gaining her popularity, and is now
in a couditiou to supply all demands
made upon her. Hayne and Meeting
streets have long been known as
the great head centres of the whole?
sale trade, and their glory lias not
departed. Many of the old store
are now occupied by their form or
owners, and the same faces that once
welcomed thc country merchants tc
examine their stocks are still to bc
seen, and the same business integ?
rity which caused the Charleston
houses to be so justly celebrated ii
preserved, as a guarantee to thc
buyer that his purchases will bi
wdiat they are represented.
"Slow but sure" is the motto thai
the South has boon forced to adopt
and although her steps are cautions,
yet she is still advancing, anti he;
future will be the moro glorious at
it will have been made only by he;
own strenuous exertions. From se
veral unfortrtitoas circumstance
Charleston has been retarded in 11 ii
march of progress, but a retrospec
five glance will show that she ha
nevertheless accomplished wonders
Stores have been built and repaired
until their former looks have boo]
forgotten ; and bettor still, occupant
have taken possession before th
buildings were completed. This i
particularly noticeable < >11 Hayn
and Meeting streets, where 'th
rangos recently erected have throw
into tho shade their more nnpretenc
?id predecessors.
A strm.ger would have sonn- littl
difficulty in locating the differer
establishments, but once inside, a
doubt would bo removed, and li
purchases would bc made witli tl)
same confidence in tho proprietor!
that he possessed before tho wa;
To say that Charleston is a rival <
New York would bo nonsense; bi
wo assort a truth when wo state th;
goods can be bought as cheap i
this market as in any Norther
city, and those who go further wi
find to their sorrow that, in the lon
run. they fare worse.
REPORT OF Coi, BOMFORD."-Th;
excellent officer. Military Commaut
ant of the State and who has wc
largely on the esteem of our peop
since he came to Haleigh, hus fo
warded to Washington his repo
for January, as Assistant Commi
sioner of the Freedmen's Burea;
It shows that during the month tl
officers and agents of the bureau ;
many parts of the State were busi
engaged to tho full extent of tl
powers delegated them, for thc all
viation of tho destitute. Thc si;
feriug arising by reason of want
clothing and food-the result
causes heretofore reported-arc st
prevalent, but it is hoped that tl
spring will, to a great extent, less*
the number of doriond.pnts. T
work of breaking up settlements
freedmen under the charge of t;
bureau progresses favorably, and
a very short time the Governme
will be relieved from avery enorme
burden.
Tho most gratifying feature
this document is thc statement tl;
no arrests were made by the Bare;
and not an outrage reported. This
official testimony to thc tranquil;
of our people, and argues well i
future harmony between whites ai
blacks. - Raleigh Progress.
RECONSTRUCTION IN SIGHT.-A s
nificant acknowledgment was ma
yesterday, sven by so determined
ultraist ns Mr. Boutwell, of Mas
chusetts, which ought not to escn
the attention of the people of t
South. Replying to Mr. Binghai
reminder that thc constitutic
adopted by the Southern peo]
would still have to come before Ct
gress for acceptance, he declared tl
"Congress would bc under the
resistible pressure to accept any ct
stittition so adopted ns the work
thc people of the State." This v
urged by Mr. Boutwell as a reas
for having tho preliminaries so
ranged that no needless questi
should be raised in Congress st
seqnently about the admission ol
State.-National Intelligencer, 12th.
STATE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVEN-!
T?OSS.-While the Maryland Legisla- j
ture is determining the matter of a !
call of a convention to remodel the
Stute Constitution, in compliance
with the undoubted popular demand, 1
several of the States in the North |
have already determined or are con?
sidering tho holding of like conven?
tions for themselves. Michigan is to
hold a constitutional convention,
which will have power to prepare an
amended State Constitution. In New
York a constitutional convention is
also to h" held; and the subject of
holding a convention to revise- the
Constitution of Pennsylvania is being
agitated at Harrisburg.
A new color, called amaranthe, is
worn for carriage full dress. It looks
remarkably well under gas-light, in
velvet over white satin undertrains.
This is the greatest novelty, as also
Light fawn crape, over which blue
beetles and other brilliant insects
crawl among the ruddy autumn
leaves. I do not advise" this, unless a
very brilliant white under-skirt relieve
the tan impression left by so negative
a color; the effect is, however, ex?
tremely distingue.-Paris Cor.
CoNTKACTSFOB CABRYINO rm: MAILS.
A Washington letter says: In view
of the fact that all the contracts fori
carrying the mails in the South ter?
minate on the 30th of next June, the
whole force of the contract bureau of
the Post Office Department is engaged
in preparing for the next mail lettings.
The competition for this service is
about as high as was expected. The
decisious will be announced on the
2Sth instant.
IMPEACHMENT.-Andrew Johnson
(so says Forney's Chronicle) contri?
buted most generously to the move?
ment in favor of his impeachment,
by Iiis extraordinary conversation
with the editor or reporter of the j
New York Citizen. He said that the
aristocracy of slaveholders had beeu
succeeded by an aristocracy of bond?
holders.
AN ANOMALOUS MILITIA.-General
Mansfield, Adjutant-General of In?
diana, in his report to the Legislature
on the condition of the State militia,
says it consists at present of a major
general, lieutenant-general, quarter?
master-general, and no privates, and
he recommends the passage of a law
that will add some privates to the
force.
