COLUMBIA. Sunday Morning, Nov. 22, 1868. Nott Uer ti Men. We publish, in onothor oolamn, a communication signed "Prosperity," ia which tba writer takes oooasi on tr? censure the Southern people-or a portion of them-for their unjust treatment of Northerners. He i* evidently laboring under a serions mistake. The great moss of our peo? ple are auxious that the Northern working man, as well as tho capital? ist, should make his home amongst us. His skill, bis intelligence, his industry, his learning, and the fruits of his ingenuity, culture and energy, aro gladly received, and be at onoe invited into fall communion with the Southern man in all the pursuits and avocations of liff. Such mon arc found here and everywhere, and are among tho most respected of our citizens. Bach have come hero since the war, many of them officers in the United States army, and others con . nooted with the Government during its military occupation of oar State, in positions which made them by no means popular for the timo being, and. who are known as members oi the Bepablican party, yet aro esteem? ed and honored as good and useful citizens. But there does exist here, and there is a continually increasing abhorrence of what are styled carpet? baggers. It is not altogether o on fined to the radical, and that Demo? crats of nomadic and predatory habits, whether Northern or South? ern born, are looked upon with much ?the same dislike, though tho part} phrase be not so distinctly applied tc them. Bat it is especially felt toward come men of the radical party, anil of Northern birth, and for this rea son it is affirmed that the South i: intolerant of Northern people or ol Republican or radical political opi nions, that free speech and frcedon to vote aro not to be had at thc South, and that moro force is needec to seouro these. Utterly untrue ii this of any portion of the South,- de spite the homicides which have beer quoted to establish it. A man maj voto as he pleases, and for whicheve: party he.pleases, and advocate what ever political opinions he pleases, un interruptedly. All that is asked o him is that he shall tread on nt other mau'? toes and avoid slan dering and libeling his neighbors The great difficulty with the car pet-bng politiciun is that he think! that he brings with him the rigb to abuse the mau tinder whose roo he is sheltered, in his own presenc and that of his family, and that tIii constitutes free speech, aud that th Southern man has no right to pa; him back in his owu coin, or to resis oppression. His mistake as to hi right to vote is equally great. H supposes, as the New Orleans Pica yunc truthfully remarks, that tin right makes it his privilege to es elude from a vote the mau who i already a voter here, and to admi others who haye not been as yet re garded to bc thus eutitlcd iu his ow: previous home. Nor this only; hi title to vote is a title he thinks t tax the present occupants of the lau . to the full extent of their revenues and to pocket tho proceeds of theR tu xe* himself. Then, with an arre gancc whioh can find its equal nc where, he declares that when he thu obtains possession of all thc legit lativo, judioinl and executive power of thc community, it shall not b lawful for tho people of whose eutii powors of government, and the coi trol over their own affuirs, ho lu possessed himself, to speak of hil and his in any other thc kindest an most approving terms, and that thc shall welcome him and his into tl bosom of their families, and to tl innermost chambcru of their dome tic sanctuary. Is it any wonder thi thc "carpet-bagger" is so hoar ti abhorred by tho Southern people Nor is this feeling at all likely to 1 lessenod or to die oat, until tho pol cy which he pursues is abandone It is as easy for him to become at to be hold to be tho friond and ul of the Southern people, as for ar other mau who has settled here b foro or during the war, aud he ne< not loso one article of hi? fealty political opinions the most ultr Bat, so long as he makes his eonr one of spoliation and defamation the Southern people, must he expe to bo hat od, and that this hatred will grow rather than decrease, and the more successful he may be in contin? uing and carving it out, the more "will he De hated and the more avoided. He may be so aided by thc supreme power as to constantly se? cure greater means of oppression, and he may roll in wealth thus acquired; I but this will not give him satisfaction or pleasure. He will constantly see before him men who came hero with no better title to social standing and kindly regard than he had, who will be happy and contented in the ap? proval of their conrso of life and con? duct in tho community, though they may be as fur from political coinci? dence with tho Southern people as ho moy be. Nor is it always neces? sary that men should abandon office into which they may have been in? ducted by party managemcut, which has not the popular approval, for them to ateno for their connection with unjust and even usurping pow? ers, any more than that they should abandon their party in its rightful, or what may seem to them rightful, authority anti principles. They may often use this very power consistent? ly with all which thc legitimate prin? cipios of a political party require of them-aud all parties have codes which are not necessarily mixed up with selfish or individual interests for the restoration of the people of the State in which they may exercise it, or whom they may represent, in suoh a way as to restore to them all their rights, preserve them against losses of their means by legislative robbory and official speculation, and prevent ti e lawlessness aud ^bitter ness of party spirit from attempting by force or oppression to effect that chauge of feeling and of tho affec? tions which good works and kindlv spirit can alone effect. Can we not I have justice, and thus have peace ? -???-?-> THE ENGLISH PARLIAMENTARY ELEC? TIONS.-The progress of liberalism, or political catholicity, is on tho on ward march in England. It is out of tho characteristics of tho stirring age. Wc live in times prolific in po litical as well as physical upheavals. These are agitating Englaud, and thc continent, as well as our owu berni sphere. The base of the social pyra? mid is asserting its relativo impor tauco in the structure of society This plutonic formation is composet of tho underlying masses-the pcopl -who sustain tho animate super structure. They form tho real wealtl of countries-the}- are the bone ant; siuew which defend it from cxterio aggression. Their relative importune j in the by-gone ages was ignored They were kept from the light, mu bred iu darkness. Bouka were rare Mental enlighten meut was coufinet to the few. Wealth had not uccumu lated, and knowledge could not b diffused, bocuuso of the genera poverty. The printing press, th newspaper, the grand couceptious o a Faust, a Gutteuburg and a Schoel fer, had not gladdeued tho work with its music aud its intelligence aud the masses had lived on iu iguo rauce of their rights as meu, and c their importance to the nationalities Tho liberals of England have electo 238 members to the Parliament c Groat Britain, gaining GO scats. Th conservatives havo elected 125, a gui of 80. Tlie city of London electei throe out of four liberals. THE GKEAT RAILROAD CASE.-Th Charleston News, of Suturday, stat? that Associate Justice Willard has d< livered his opinion iu tho great rai road case of tho South Carolin Railroad Company vs. the Columbi aud Augusta Railroad Compauy, i which thc plaintiffs usk for au iutei locutory injunction against the d< fendants to prevent damage to the road. Justice Willard grants tho ii junction on tho ground that dofei danta are trespassers, and tho injin of that character that it cannot I estimated in damages. The Courier, of the same dab however, says: "Tho decision, as will be seei doos not embrace the rights of tb respective corporations to run para lol roads. It only grants to tl complainants the intermediate ii junction prayed for, whioh on j oh tho defendants from actual trespat until the ease shall have boen hem on its merits, and so decided." Glorjr is Well enough for a ric man, b?t id of very little consequent to a poor man with a large family. Troc Policy ot this Stat?. MB. EDITOB: The only lover which can certainly and speedily raise South Carolina from h or present depressed condition, is a large immigration. Undoubtedly a large maje ri ty of oar people will acknowledge the tftith of this fact, when they look around and see oar resources undeveloped, and even many of our fields unfilled, for want of population. Yet this very majority will continue to pursue a ooaree of action which must prevent tho end they desire to attain-the ostracism of Northerners, simply be? cause they are such. The South, nod particularly this State, is possessed of magnificent re? sources. The climate and salubrity of South Carolina are unsurpassed anywhere in tho world, and the at? tractions that she affords to immi? grants nrc such as will bring them here, if our citizens pursue the right course. Our resources can be de? veloped only by energy coupled with capital; our people have the former, but not enough for the fields opeu to its exercise, but have not tho lot? ter-this can be brought only by ac? tual settlers. As au evidence of tho amount of money brought into a country by immigrants, I will men? tion that in ono year previous to the war, 250,000 immigrants landed in New York, and it is estimated that each one of thom, on an average, brought with him five sovereigns, making a total of $8,400,000 in our greenback currency. Tho question, then, is how can we attract settlers? Namely, by welcoming every man who, in good faith, comos among ns for the pursuit of tho honest pur? poses of life, from whatever part of the world ho may hail, and by cor? dially tendering him the right baud of fellowship. Tho Southern Democracy say that "they desire to bury the dead issues productive of tho war and have peace," bat they have not proved by their actiou thc sincerity of the pro? fession. Thu ostracism of a North? ern gentleman, simply as such, is very inconsistent. The result of tbis very unfortunate course of action has been, that since the war capital has drifted by this State and gone else? where, where a different course has been pursued-to Savannah, for ex? ample. Is it reasonable to expect that Northerners, possessed of deli? cacy of feeling, and that sentiment which characterizes the gentleman, will como among us to do business iu our cities or cultivate our lands, when they know that their wives and daughters will be, by our people, ex? cluded from society, no matter how fully qualified they may bo to orna? ment any they may enter? People may say that such is not the case, but it is the ea.se in this city, at the least. fcSincc the war, one of the most honorable societies of this city has passed a resolution prohibiting au invitation to a ball to be sent tc any individual fioia thc North. Now, if our peoplo desire to regain their prosperity, they must recognize their situation, adapt their course ol action to surrounding circumstances, and acknowledge merit and valut wherever found-taking things nt they are, not as our wishes would have them. When this is done, om State will be quickly filled by an en ergetic and intelligent population who will force out tho negro and dc velop our resources, aud raise oui State to a position much higher anc more prosperous than any that sin has ever yet occupied. The future o South Carolina is much more in tin hands of her citizens than the; think; with them it rests to rescu her from her present prostrated con dition. PROSPERITY. Stephen Riley, the colored mai who was so bitterly denounced nm persecuted by his brethren, for vot ing the Democratic ticket, has bee; presented with a purse of $031 by th white citizens of Charleston. Rile} in receiving the letter, said that h only did what ho believed was righi He was not afraid to do his duty ti all times and under all c'rcumstancei and ho would never forget the kine ness with which he had been treate -a kindness far greater than anj thing he had tlone could have th served. - The ghosts in the Circular Chine steeple, in Charleston, which ha\ excited so many nervous individua! during the past two years, have at la been exterminated. They proved 1 bo a family of owls; and a fearlei individual climbed thc steeple a nigl or two ago, aad bagged tho party.
