Political DlMblUtp?;?. g
The courtio of tho radicals of Congress, in
tinkering with political disabilities, ij| con?
temptible. Everything like general princi?
ple is neglected, and although justice is
done to a few, whose disabilities are re?
moved, injustice is done to more than fifty
times as many, whose cases are not con?
sidered st all. The rule which the radicals
profess to observe in regard to disabilities,
the Louisville, ?OW'&'-JVWH?! thinks, is,
that relief shall bo granted to those who
provo themselves loyal in their relations to
the new order of things. This is substan?
tially the language which they use, aud it
ought to be considered as embrucing all
who accept the existing politioal situation,
render obedience to the Constitution and
the laws, givo np secession and rebellion
as dead issues, not to bo revived, and seek
redress for wrongs and oppressions only by
the regular exercise of the powers with
which tho Government vests the citizen.
This class includes all, or at least more than
ninety-nine hundredths of all, who engaged
in the late rebellion, or sympathized with it.
But, practically, the rule adopted by the
radicals, notwithstanding its fair seeming,
is so perverted in its application as to be
made to include, for the most part, only
those who, wanting office, render them?
selves, by forwardness and protestation and
clamor, especially conspicuous in tho dis?
play of radical principles and propensities,
or in some wey manage to win tho favor of
Congressmen and other officials. The
masses, tho far greater part. r.s well as the
infinitely better part, of those now under
political disabilities, aro citizens who, pur?
suing their avocations quietly and unobtru?
sively, and seeking no official positions,
have neither tho inclination to ask, nor the
opportunity to obtain, the endorsement of
radical office-holders and radical committees.
Thus, while the least worthy portion of
those who took part against tho Govern?
ment in tho war get relief from their disa?
bilities, the patient, the meritorious, thc
unobtrusive, remain under a cloud, to suf?
fer, unrecognized and unnoticed, the harsh
penalties o? a law that one comprehensive
Aot of relief should sweep from the statute
books. Let the whole people be restored at
once to their old right?. If any man, what?
ever he may have been in the war, shall
ommit hereafter a deed of treason against
the Government, let him be tried, convicted
and punished. But let the past be buried
ont of sight. The partiality exhibited at
Washington is a disgrace to the country.
Even the beneficent prerogative of relieving
disabilities is made an engiuo of corrupt
partisan electioneering.
-o
PEAOH OB WAB IN EUROPE.-The ques?
tion of an early war in Europe is still
mooted in spite of peaceful purposes by the
rulers. First Napoleon, and then King
William, makes pacific assurances, but still
the war preparations go on. The talk is of
an alliance between Napoleon and Victor
Emunuel, with the old idea of Lutin rule
for a basis, and Prussia on the other side,
propitiating Russia by certuiu neeessaiy
concessions; with Austria in the back-ground
biding her time. Ou the other sido, the
natural tendency to concentration would
favor tho chaucos of France and Italy,
while the Germanic habit of dividing and
distributing would tell heavily against Prus?
sia, on the other. And with a power like
Austri.i standing by in sulleu discouteuted
uess, owing no thanks to France, yet
?ager to take any advautago of Prussia, the
complication presents a look that becomes
formidable. Napoleon ia all the time pre?
paring for the event of war, while King
William is not far behind. The atmosphere
is by no means fragrant with peaco. A
feeling of doubt and insecurity has- Bottled
upon all. And biuts are now thrown out
with a daugerous freedom, that war is likely
to break out at any time after the French
elections iu May.
-o
A delegation of Georgia Republicans,
headed by Foster Blodgett, waited upor
the President yesterday, and after tho nana
greetings, laid the state of altair.-; in Geor
gin, before bim, and respectfully urged i
strict enforcement of the reconstructioi
laws. The President replied that ho desiroi
very much to seo all classes of people ii
the South protected in their opinions. Ol
inquiring what the Legislature of thu* Mtab
would do in relation to tho fifteen amend
ment, Mr. Blodgett said tho Democrat
intended to pass it, r.s thew were anxious
as they suid, to inflict negro suffrage on th
d-d Yankees.
A man named Frank Oaraon, hailing fron
Lancaster, S. C., (says the Charlotte, N. C.
Times,) sold two bales of cotton to a fire
in that town; but suspicion beiug excited
the bales were opened, and 350 ponnds o
sand and bricks discovered. Fortunatel
tho payment of tho draft for the bogu
bahs was stopped.
FINANCIAL, VIEWS OF MR. BOUTWKLX..-As
Mr. Bo ut wei l's views with respect to
financial matters havo been the subject of a
ffjfod deal of inquiry Cn th* last day or two,
We will, says tba Boston Advertiser,.remind
our readers of hfs remarks iu the Bepubli
cau State Convention, last fal), and espe?
cially of the following sentences:
"We do not propose to tolerate, sanction
or permit an issue of demand notes, pay?
able in coin, to be exchauged for tho time
bonds of tho United States. "We intend to
I limit, and, if necessary, to diminish gra?
dually tho volume of paper money, until it
approximates iu value to tho stondard of
coin. Wo inteud that there shall bo ouo
currency for tho boud-hohler, thc morchant,
the farmer, the pensioner, and the laborer.
That currency shall be tho vnluo of gold.
When this is done, thc public debt will bo
paid, as the resources of the country may
permit, nud to the satisfaction of those who
pay and of those who receive. Wheu tho
credit of the country is restored, as it will
be by the single fact of tao election of Gen.
Grnnt, we eau issue bc nels, payable after
ton or twohty years, bearing a lower rate of
iuterest, and thus save annually tho sum of
twenty or thirty millions of dollars. But,
first of all, as a means of restoring the pub?
lic credit, the people must dispel by ti:oir
votes tho apprehension of national dis?
honesty in the public finances. The Ite
publioan party knows no policy iu iinuu.ee
but honesty."
-o
AFFAIRS IN ANDERSON.-The Ititelligencer,
of Thursday, says: "The testimony on tho
part of Hon. J. P. Reed, tho respondent,
was taken before W. W. Humphreys, Esq.,
Judge of Probate, on Thursday and Friday
last. The evidence was conclnsive ?nd
overwhelming in sustaining the answer of
Mr. Recd, so far as Anderson County is
concerned, and giving a positive and une?
quivocal denial to tho all?gation? made by
the contestant. No ouo appeared iu behalf
of Hogo, who is certainly eschewed by the
lending colored men in this County, and we
are inclined to thiuk that thc white radicals
are ashamed of his unscrupulous charges
against our people."
We have to announce this morning thc
death of three old citizens of this Comity,
all of whom died after a brief illness. Ou
Thursday morning last, in this village, Mr.
Ezekiel George, aged fifty-five years, de?
parted this life, having been sick only a
week. Major James Gurner died suddenly,
at his residence, near Roberts' Church, on
Thursday night last. He was seventy-six
years of age. Mr. Robert Smith, another
estimable citizen, died yesterday morning,
at his residence, four miles East of this place,
in the seventy-fourth year of his age.
-o
Tho Canton Mail mentions the death of
ex-Govornor Wm. McWillio, which occurred
at his resideuco in ?Madison County on tho
3d iust. Ho had long been su Hering from
paralysis. Governor Mc Wilie was a South
Carolinian by birth, came to Mississippi a
quarter of a century ago, and was elected
Governor of tho State in 1862. Ile was in
his seventy-sixth year when ho died. His
lifo was one cf great usefulness and high
distinction. ,

"A noticeable feature of the entertain?
ment, says a New Orleans paper, is Prof.
Shaffer's Panithiopoticonic views. These
alone redeem the price left at the box office.
Among the most striking may be found the
city of Bethlehem, tho birth place of otu
Saviour, with the guiding star brightly
beaming above tho lowly place o? refuge in
which thc wise men found the linly child;
the Golconda or Crucifixi?n, the Temple ol
thc Holy Tomb, St. Peter's church at
Home-exterior and interior views-anti
many other Biblical scenes. Tho storm
at sea is very grand; tho ship is laboring
under a heavy sou, clouds, thunder aud
lightning, thc wreck and then when all id
Liver, God's promise of peace-tho rainbow
spans the sky. Wc would say to parents
that tho views aro both amusing and iu

THE PEAK FAMILY SWISS BELL RINGER
As will bo soen by an advertisement i
another column, this old and well kuov.
troupe are to give a .'erics of their deligh
ful entertainments at Janney's Hall, in th
city, commencing on Monday, tho 22d in!
The reputation of the Peak Family as m
sioians of a high order, is so well knov
that tho raero announcement of thoir coi
ing, is of itself sufficient to insure the
large and appreciative audiences. Our c
changes all over tho country aro unauimo
in their praise of this excellent troupe,
tho following from tho Nashvillo Union ?
American, of tho 25th ultimo, will show:
"THE BELL RINUEKS.-Such an audier
as was crowded into Masonic Hall, li
night, is not often seen in Nauhville. T
ball was fairly packed, n number bei
compelled to bo satisfied with stand!
room. From tho first tinkle of the bells in I
introductory overture until tho closo of I
performance, the Peak aud Berger com
nation maintained their sway over I
crowd, now producing thoir wonderful h
melody, anon charming their listeners
vocal and instrumental duetts and qn
tettos, and varying the musical melange
the inimitable comicalities of Sol Sm
Russell. The entertainment has got su
ciont variety to make it thoroughly onjo;
ble, as was certainly the verdiot of the an
enco last night. There io an en Ur? chat

I THEATRE. -This evening Manager Tem?
pleton opens at Carolina Hall, with one of
the best companies that - has visited Colom?
bia sincerthe war. Miss Alice Vane, tbe well
known actress, will appear as tbo principal
character in the great play of Fanchon, or
the Cricket. 'In ii she is said to be unsur?
passed-even by Maggie Mitchell, with
whom Fauchon is a spocial favorite. Miss
Vane will bo supported in a most excellent
manner, and we aro confident that those
who go will spend a most agreeable evening.
We copy the following from the Montgomery
Mail:
"Fanchon was presented to tho Montgo
goruery theatre-going public last evening
by Manager Templeton. Wo noticed that
the boxes und dress circle were filled with
the creme de la creme of Montgomery, who
desire to evince their appreciation of the
efforts of Mr. Templeton to afford amuse
mont and instruction to our people. This
was a feature in the general 'make up' of
tho house, which we hope will oontinue.
Tho play was rendered in very good style
and with good effect, the audience testifying
their appreciation frequently by heavy ap?
plause. Miss Vane as Fanchon, did well,
and approximated very closely to Maggie
Mitchell in the geueral rendition of that very
difficult character. The young lady who
personated Madelon, (whose name by an
over-sight, we presume, did not appear upon
the bills,) neted finely, but looked prettier.
Indeed, beauty covers a 'multitude of
faults,' and in this insinu?e Madelon has
such a sweet face, such graceful action, and
snell a pretty foot, which, like Jennie
Worrell, she kuows how to show and
pointedly pose, as to make the entire andl
euco (more especially the younger male
portion) fall in lovo with her. Hence her
role was a success. Miss Foster as the
Witch, was good ; Mr.Templeton as Landery,
made some good points; Miss Martin
as Mother Barbeand, was fine, although too
young and handsome ?or such a character.
Upon tin- whole tho performance was a
good one, and wo bespeak for Manager
Templeton a hearty response to his appeals
for support."

The great Life Insurance Company of the
United Statos is tho National, of which Jay
Cooke Sc Co. are the General Agents, Wash?
ington. Compared with other big compa?
nies, it is destined soon to be the MGOEST
company in the country. Why? Because
its growth aud popularity, measured in its
infancy, warrants it. They have issued, in
five months, nearly -1,000 policies, embra?
cing a sum insured of upwards of $18,000,
000, and thc applications daily increasing.
Another reason is, tbat the plan of the Na?
tional is the correct one, the cheapest one,
the most liberal one; secures tho largest
amount for the sum paid; no fictitious or
distant dividends declared to da/.zlo tho im?
agination with ita glittering promises, but
gives you a cash dividend in hand before
you start. How? A young clerk, ago
twenty, pays $12.05 n year, and secures a
policy in i ho National for Si,000. In other
companies ho pays $19.89-a difference of
SO. 94, or a cash dividend of over fifty-two
per cent. This differenco will enable him
to tako out a policy for $500 more; so that,
should he die, bis family secures 81,500,
and pay no more premium than other com?
panies charge for $1,000. This don't look
like, what is supposed by some to bo tho
case, that tho company divide all the profits
among themselves. Why, tho fact is, they
give you a dividend before it is duo-in nd
vanco-nud no contingent operation of ma?
king a profit is dependent upon it. Insure
in tho National. Call and get circulars.
