Wendell Phillipa1 Plan.
Although Wendell Phillips has
been considered a leader in the Re?
publican party, and it hos been fre?
quently said he had the brains for all
its members, yet wo do not believe
that the party, either North or South,
havo of late adopted his wild vaga?
ries, or accepted the extreme mea?
sures he has proposed, as any part of
the principles of the party. Wo do
not regard him as the exponent of
the great body of the Hepublican
party, or of its representatives in Con?
gress. We cannot believo that either
that party or tho mass of the people
of the North indulgo in the senti
monts, or will endorso the opinion in
tho following extract from what Phil?
lips said on tho 4th instant:
"But this fourth day of July will
be renowned abovo its fellows. To?
day assembles the Groat Council of
tho Nation in extra session, to seo
'that tho republic receives uo harm.'
Let us hope thoy will inaugurate such
a policy ns will re-assuro all men.
Break up tho landed aristocracy oi
rebeldom, and create millions ol
small holdings-tho only sufficient
basis of tho ballot-box. Timid mon
fear this will exasperate tho rebels.
They bato us ns bitterly as thoy eau
already. Nothing wo do eau increase
this hate. The mothers are teaching
their children to bato us. Nothing
wo can do will givo this bato longei
life than such teachings ensure Con
?scation does not increase such bate
Confiscation only disarms it. If yoi
cannot convert your enemy, it is wis?
to tnke away his arms. This confis
cation does."
The action of Congress thus far, a
its present Bession, shows no inclina
tion on the part of either Senntors o
members to legislate further rgnius
the South than to poss au oxplunator
Act of the reconstruction laws, wind
that body deems necessary from th
publication of the Attorney-General'
construction of thoso laws. Nor hav
wo any idea that Congress, at au
future session, will attempt to pas
any law affecting tho rights of prc
perty in tho South, provided recoi
structiou is allowed peacefully to prc
gress. It is a measure that woul
find little countenance or support i
the North, and would meet with tl:
condemnation of the world.
Nor do we think Mr. Phillips, i
his ultra and extra fourth of .Tu]
utterances, will be able to carry nu
portion ^f tho party with him in li
propose*. -ii or reconstruction. 1]
says:
"Sweep out of the way, by expre
declaration and enactment, all the:
shams and spectres of pretende
State governments. Increase, if u
cessary, the military force ?it tl
South. Lot no village, however di
taut-no man, however obscure-1
ablo to escape its all-present coutrc
Proposo such amendments to tl
Federal Constitution as shall rend
needless this vigilant supervision c
and vexatious interference with, Sta
laws relating to tho negro race. I
appropriate clauses cut down Stn
sovereignty to such small dimcusio:
as shall leave no ground for rac
hatred und class legislation to stai
upon."
If this wero udopted, it would
an end of Kepublican Governmei
and establish in its place a System
terrorism and despotism. >' wo ha
not misinterpreted the aims und o
jeets of the Republican party, and
many of its leading men have defiu
them on public occasions, they
not embrace tho policy of Pbilli]
They have passed certain laws for t
reconstruction of the Union, whit
if complied with iu spirit and
letter, wo havo tho plighted faith
the party that tho work will be ;
cepted by them as complote. Tl
wo boliovo to bo tho honest aud ti
platform of tho Republican pur
and has been accepted as such by t
mass of tho Sonthcrn people, w
aro at present, in various States,
organizing under it..
SANTA ANNA SHOT.-It is curren
reported that Santa Anna was shot
his captors, tho Liberals, at Sisal,
the 25th ult. Thus has perished
nominiously tho greatest man t
Mexico over produced-who lin]
together in his career a rcmarkn
record of infamy, vanily and an
tion. Ho has only met his just
Berts; and wo believo this assert
will bo coincided with by many ]
sons beside tho relatives of thc un

Santa Anna's orders.

The New York Times closes au
article, on the suffrage question as
follows:
So far as negro suffrage is con?
cerned, the cinty of the North volun?
tarily to grant what it compels tho
South to yield, is obvious. There is
no escapo from it. The principle of
impartiality in nil that pertains to
the rights of the citizen is now an
integral part of the American system.
Congress has affirmed it in regard
to the South, and in regard also to
the organio laws of Territories seek?
ing admission os States. Tho States
composing t"he present Congress
ought therefore to carry out tho
priuciplo in their own affairs, nud so
to strengthen it with coustitntioual
forms that no siuglo Stato will havo
power to disturb it.
To accomplish this object, it is
not necessary to overthrow the fede?
ral constitution, aud to legislate thc
rights of the States out of existen'*:;.
Not ouly is it not necessary to en?
courage Congressional usurpation,
or to mako war upon I ho organic
j law of States whoso rights aro un?
questioned, but the party that shall
seem to bc affiliated with this policy
will bo surely and righteously de?
stroyed.
An nmendmcut to thc Constitu?
tion affirming tho political equality
of all citizens, irrespective of color,
proposed iu tho regular way by Con?
gress, aud ratified iu duo form by
tho requisite unmbcr of States, is
thc 011I3* shape iu which tho suf?
frage question can bo approached.
lu this shape it would bc unobjec?
tionable. Tho South, having ac?
ceded to thc principle nuder duress,
would uot be likely to oppose a
constitutional amendment on tho
subject; and the North, having
coerced the South, could not decent?
ly declino to extend the principle to
its owu constituencies. By this me?
thod the principio would be invested
with a constitutional sanction, aud
thus be rendered ns secure as any
constitutional provisiou can be; while
an effectual quietus would be admin?
istered to the monstrous usurpation
of thc faction that urw attempts to
dictate to Congress aud to beud sover?
eign States to its will.
This proposition, however, has
110 connection with the moro imme?
diate work of perfecting the recon?
struction of tho South. The terms
on which tho South may regain ad?
mission to the Uuiou have been
fixed, aud it only remains for Con?
gress to place their precise meaning
beyond the reach of legai quibble.
These complied with, there can be
no further obstacle to the recogni?
tion of qualified Southern repre?
sentatives without scnudalons breach
of faith.
A constitutional amendment in
reference to suffrage is not one of
tho conditions which affect the
I course of the South. The present
I Congress may properly proposo such !
an amendment, but thero will bo no
teuablo prctonco for making its rati- 1
filiation by tho North a condition in
any manner affecting the restoration
of the South to tho Union.

The Savannah papers contain thc
particulars of the terrible murder of
Mr. E. Gr. Westmoreland, British
Consul at Brunswick, Ga., by Capt.
Martin, referred to in our yesterday's
despatches. Jealousy was the cause,
and the wife of the murdered man
to whom ho hud been married but
four hours-was within a few feet of
him when the horrible deed was com?
mitted. Martin narrowly escaped
lynching. Both men were respected
and wealthy citizens of Brunswick, j
SUICIDE.-Tho Augusta papers state
that Emma C. Moore, an orphan girl
of fifteen years, attempted to commit
suicide by jumping into tho river, on
Monday morning, but was rescued by
a policeman. It was afterwards found
i that she had also taken au opiate,
from the effects of which she died in
? .1 few hours. She had a quarrel with
her lover thc night before, and told
him he would never seo her again.
Nothing further is certainly known,
but there is a rumor that her epitaph
might read:
"Cull? (1 ero thy beauly lives through half
ita day;
A moment cherished, und then cast away."

DisTiuntJTioN OF TUE RECONSTRUC?
TION FCND.-Some time ago, the
War Department called on tho Com?
mandants of tho five Military Dis?
tricts for estimates showing what
amount of money would bo required
to carry out the reconstruction Acts
iu their several districts. These esti?
mates have ber u rendered, and it ap?
pears that Oeu. Sheridan's estimate
is moro than double that of any other
commander. From tho fund of
85,000,01)0 appropriated by Congress
to defray the expenses of reconstruc?
tion under tho Act and its supple?
ment, the following sums have been
apportioned to the districts mention?
ed: Gen. Schofield, 829,441; Oeu.
Sickles, 829,444; Gen. Ord, 897,222
Gon. Pope, 897.222; and Gen. Sluri
dnn, $166,660.
There were 1,865 dogs impounded

The "Fourth" at the Salada Factory.
MESSRS. EDITORS: It is worth one's
-while to take a drive to the Saluda
Factory at any time, bnt especially
now, when you get not only a drive,
but a sail; for, since the sad 17th of
February, 1865, when the noble
Congaree Bridge was burned, ono
has to be "ferried across" the river,
and it is now as in primitive days,
when the college studcut, in poetic
inspiration, exclaimed:
"Hail to tho tiaio when I ?hall sec
Thy smiliug banks, sweot Congaree!
And when I.shall bo ferried across,
And seo thy trees all covered with moss."
By-the-by, that boat landing has be?
come classic oinco^Hilliard, in his
"De Vane," has so graphically por?
trayed its picturesque beauty. An?
other who "lisped iu numbers" along
that river's romantic shores has said
of it:
"My Abana and my Pharpar,
Is ruy sweet Congaree!"
Yes; it is worth seeing and sailing
across, this beautiful river, with its
Indian linnie, and for that alone I
would have given up all the attrac?
tions of the 4th July in Columbia
"the tournament" und what not-all
but tho anniversary celebration of
the "Marion Street Sunday School;"
that I did find hard to relinquish, for
I had witnessed thc one of tho pre?
vious year, und its moral benefaction,
I knew, would lie more to mo than
oven nature's-Mich nature, even, as
I would find on the shores of the
Congaree and Saluda; and but that J
anticipated moral benefaction, along
with the natural, from my excursion,
I think "Marion Street Sunday
School Celebration" had detained mo
in the city. It was not only for thc
drive and sail, but also for a Sunday
school celebration, that I was to
spend the Fourth in the country,
and most gratifying to the Christian
philanthropist such an occasion-tho
celebration of the Factory Sabbath
School, the fust since the burning of
the factory, February 17, 1865. The
faithful Superintendent was at his j
post; the children, smiling and hap?
py, clean and neut, were there, and a
large number of persons-some two
or three hundred-all assembled in
the umbrageous grove, where were to
be conducted tbr exercises of tho
day. Beautiful h, ans were sung by
sweet young voie s; nice pieces, in
prose and verse, were spoken by
little boys and girls, and then there
was un affecth nate address by the
clergyman who had been invited for
the occasion, and who, among other
things, told them that when be was a
little boy of about six or seven years
of age, he first came into possession i
of a Bible. It was tho first piece of
property he had ever called his own.
and that ho still possessed the deaf
old book; that his motlier was a
widow and poor, and she had only
t?ne Bible; so he, young child as bc
was, walked from thc country several
miles into tho neighboring village,
where there was a Bible depot of tho
American Hillie Society, and begged '
there a Bible for himself; that he had
through life tried to make that book
the man of his counsel, and had
taken for the motto ol' his life this
text, "In all thy way-; acknowledge
Him. and He shall direct thy paths."
After tho religions services of the
day were over, the large assemblage,
iu procession, appeared in front of
tho rcsidenco of Colonel Palmer, one
of the proprietors of the factory,
and there, in rural style, were boun?
tifully supplied with refreshments;
when, alter a grateful acknowledg?
ment by a speaker selected for the
occasion, and a kind reply from Colo?
nel Palmer, the happy company dis?
persed for tho day.
That the factory burnt to the
ground, a little over two years ago,
with all its machinery destroyed and
its hundreds of operatives thrown
out of employment, should be thus
soon rebuilt and at work, giving sub?
sistence, during this famine year, to
hundreds of people-giviug these
people not only food and rai- i
ment, but nutrition for mind and I
soul by its excellent Sunday school
instruction, and making so many
hearts happy by this rural festival- ,
reflects the highest honor on tho in- I
dustry, energy and philanthropy of j
its proprietors. It is no small mat?
ter, these times, to see so many well
clad and. evidently, well-fed peop!rt,
as we saw ou the 1th at tho factory. '
It was remarked that day, to one oi !
the proprietors, "If you do not make I
a fourpenco by this enterprise of i
yours, you are, at least, doing a I
great benevolence."
On our return that evening, tho ?
sun was shedding his level raj's, just
as he used to do some forty years
ago, when, with young, happy hearts,
we would be returning from a pic-nic
at the factory. There is tho same
great rock that wo used for our table;
there the samo ledge of rocks where,
skipping too he?dlessly across, two
sprightly girls, though neither of
them naiuod "Undine," emerged
like two Venuses from the gurgling
current of Saluda; there are tho
vines and trees and shrubs as verdur?
ous as evor; the spring bubbles up as
translucently, tho river glides along
as gracefully; but, wi-'le, for God's
beauties and blessings, we adore
Him with grateful hearts, yet forty
yenrs, that hnvo made no chango in
nature, havecau9ed a change to como
"over the spirit of my dream."

THE MEETING OP CONGRESS.-The
New York Times, a Republican pa?
per, referring to the present meeting
of Congress to revise, amend or in?
terpret the military reconstruction
bill, says:
"To re-establish const i tut ional go?
vernment over the South, we have
been forced to set aside, for a time,
the fundamental maxims of republi?
can government and some of tho most
sacred bulwarks of Anglo-Saxon
liberty, founded iu the most nucient
times, older thau Cougress, older
thau Parliament itself-portions of
the citadel of freedom for which our
progenitors struggled for centuries
after tho heptarchy, and to secure
which kings have boen deposed, dy?
nasties been changed, aud tho Wood
of innumerable martyrs has been
shed. It will hereafter bo judged to
be a great crime of thc rebellion that
it compelled us to disturb these vene?
rable foundations. All loj-nl men
will share in that crime if they do not
see to it that this disturbance shall be
as brief as possible. This brevity
will be determined, first of all, hythe
rapidity and completeness with which
the reconstruction law is made to do
its work. It is tin? efficiency of the
law alone that can compensate for
the reproach and burden of its ex?
istence."
