V COLMBIA. s ? -- Sunday Horning, April 14,1867. ^ | Unjust ?nd MUoixlevoui. We have, on more than one occa? sion, expressed "bur views upon tho subject of political dir eussions by the press or people of the South, at this time; but there are occasions when it becomes the duty of Southern jour? nalists to deviate, in one sense, from this wise line of policy, and to say a word in defence of thdlr section and of tho motives and conduct of the true and gallant people among whom they live, and whose interests they are presumed to repreeont. This journal, a few days ago, expressed its opinion as to the wisdom or policy howover right and just tho proceeding might bo in itself-of testing tho con? stitutionality of the military bills before the Supremo Court, feeling . assured that no good could como of it, and that, instead of any practical or permanent benefit resulting to tho Southern Skates from oven a decision in .their favor, such a decision would ^oniy open up' a sectional political agi? tation, and widgn, to a dangerous ex? tent, the breach existing between the legislativo and executive departments of the Government, while, nt the same time, what is of moro import? ance to tho Southern States, it Would, to a certainty, bring upon them a more oppressive legislation than that by which they are now governed. Fine-spun theories of constitutional right are very pleasant to write about and dilate upon, nt tho present time, and very right and proper to ad upon in times when such action has tho power to redress wrongs; but wo con? tend that tho Southern people have now to deal with the practical, and that their wisest course is, to pursue that policy which is likely to relieve them in the shortest space of time; . But whilo these are our honest con? victions on this subject, we cannot re remain silent when wo see the motives of the people or authorities of these Southern States who have taken the aotionjreferred to are impugned. Wil? ful misrepresentations of the temper of tho Southern people, since their honorable surrender, have dono more to keep alive sectional hostility than any other instrumentality that could bo used. And it is to an instance of this wrong-doing that wo intend to refer to in this article. The New York Times, a professing "conserva? tive" Republican journal, under the caption of "The Last Resort of Re? bellion," has au editorial, in its issue of the 8th instant, which not only does great Injustice to the States and people of the South, but is too well calculated, by its misrepresentations of the motives and temper of these people, to prolong and aggravate that sectional discord which has already produced such a vast destruction of . lifo and property. The very caption of the article of tho Times is unjust and unfounded; "the last resort of rebellion" means, and is intended to convey the mean? ing, that "rebellion" still exists. But tho writer surely intended n severo sarcasm, when he says that "the in? junction filed by tho Stato of Missis? sippi affords the strongest evidence of the leniency-tho rare forbearance and magnanimity-with which the States recently in rebellion have been treated by tho National Government. " Tho simple reply to this is that no injunction has been filed yet, the mo? tion for that purpose being still under advisement and open to argument; and in the next place, wc do not per? ceive what a motion to filo tho injunc? tion, or tho Court's permission to do so, hos to do with tho boasted "le? niency of tho National Government" towards the rebels. The whole drift and tenor of tho sentences we have quoted are to demonstrate that rebel? lion still exists in theSouthorn States; that it is making its final struggle beforo tho august tribunal of the Su? preme Court, and that the "National Government" has been guilty of a culpablo "leniency" towards the peo? ple of a State or States, who wish to test by fair and legal means tho con? stitutionality of laws imposed on them, in permitting them to appear before a high court of justice for that purpose. The natural effect of theso allegations upon tho public mind of the North will bo to convince tho peo? ple that the rebellion is not crushed, and that tho National Government meaning the President-ought to bo arraigned for extraordinary "le? niency" in the premises. For this reason, we say that such articles, coming from a leading and influen? tial journnl, aro uujust iii thah: alle? gations and mischievous in th?*r ten* denciee. But ?be evil ifcten? of the article we comment on is more fully deve? loped in the following paragraph. Speaking of tho people of the South? ern States, it says: "Having failed to overcome the power put forth by the Federal Go? vernment in support of the Union having tried ineffectually by the force of arms to, assert the sovereignty of the Southern States, in the secession? ist souse of the term-having denied the title of the Federal Government to coerce rebel States into submis? sion, only yielding when furthor de? nial had become impossible-they proposo now to transfer tho struggle to the courts, and to attain their ends by bringing the artillery of the Fede? ral judiciary to bear upon Congress. The effrontery of the spectacle is as notable as its novelty. In any other country, the parties to these proceed? ings would have figured before tho law in a totally different character. They would, long ere now, have been required to au s wer for their Uves os rebels awaiting punishment." Y. a speak of the "evil intent" of such, writing as this-for such intent is patent upon its face-to rekindle and inflame those sectional pr?ju? dices and animosities which, we were all fain to bejiove, wore buriod, with the hatchet, beneath thc apple tree at Appomattox, and which every good citizen would be rejoiced to soe remain unexhumed. There is no "struggle" to bo "transferred," foi the struggle ceased two years ago: nor could the ends sought .to be at? tained by that "struggle," while il lasted, be accomplished by even the "artillery of the Federal judiciary.' The Times knows this, or, at least ought to know it, from thc extract which it hus published from th* Phoenix and- other Southern journals From these it learned that tho peo pie of the South were earnestly do sirons to engage in the work of re construction, under the laws o Congress; but its present editorin ignores this fact, and is designed b cast odium upon that people of whoc the editor, in the Philadelphia Con vention, expressed a worthier, am certainly more correct, opinion. W entreat the Times and other Norther journals to aid us in the work c restoration and peace, rather thu fan to life the expiring embers of die cord and strife.

' Our State exchanges, thia week, bring us notices of several rneotings of tho colored people, held in various Districts. In Sumter, as 'ire learn from the IVe'ics, a meeting was hold, but the "report" was not received until just before the poper was going to press. The report is aa follows: "On tho evening of the 8th of April, at a mass meeting of tho'co? lored citizens of Sumter, Mr. Abra? ham Boffin was culled to the chair, and Mr. Samuel Leo was appointed secretary. "Tho chairman, in a few well-timed and appropriate remarks, explained to those who wore present the object of the meeting-which was, to take into consideration the best and most efficient means of bringing about more kind and friendly feelings be? tween the two olasses of the people of our town." The News says: . "We will take occasion in our next to make such remarks, in connection with the same, as will at once illus trate and verify the effect produced upon our white citizens by this praise worthy action of tho freedmen." But, iu other communities, the feelings and purposes of those con? cerned are shown to be hostile to the best interest^ of the: peopioj-wH\te and colored-in this State. Thee Dar? lington Southerner notices a meeting of the colored people of that town, to listen to a lecture by tho Rey. B. F. Whittemoro, and organize a Na? tional Republican party. No notice having been given of the meeting, tho editor was not in attendance, but learns, from thoso who were present, that: "A studied effort was made on tho part of the speaker to convince the freedmen that his true friends were those of the radical party ; that .the white men. here were not' only their enemies but enemies of the Govern? ment at heart, and were only pre? vented from showing it by their weakness. Of course, hil the stale arguments of the old Abolition party were brought forward to work upon an ignorant and simple people, to get them ready to endorse tho plat? form made in Charleston. Our in? formant tells us that a contrast was drawn between the Democratic and the Republican parties, where the speaker made it appear to tho satis? faction of his audience that the former had all the bad, and the latter | all the good, qualities of tho nation; and then called upon the house to I say-by rising-which they would | endorse. Of course all rose up." The Greenville Mountaineer, of the lltb, also publishes a report of the proceedings of "a meeting of the colored citizens of Greenville." At this meeting, the officers and speakers all seom to have been of their own class; but all tho speeches were in opposition to the sentiments uttered by Beverly Nash at tho great meet? ing held in this city lost month, and advocating and espousing the policy an? oause of tho Republican party of the North. There aro evidently some agencies at work, seeking to form a discord? ant party among the "freedmen, as opposed to the whites of tho South. Our whole people, both white and colored, should be on tho alert to counteract their schemes. ADMINISTRATOR S NOTICE. PERSONS indebted to the estate of tho late G. R.
