Our Stitt? Politics. ' ?
The disadvantages which we are' now
.laboring nader iu South Car o li un aro
certainly aredt. The taxation imposed
upon the citizens of South Carolina are
unequal and heavy. A multitude of new
and unnecessary offices have been
ated-so nie to harass out people; and all
tending to eat out their substance. The
affairs of the State .nre ,manngod in tho
Spirit ?i a ' decided parlieauship. The
interests of the' State aro made to yield
to the iu teros ts of party. State officers,
in many oases, become ?etorious epeou
lators in the bonds and stocks of the
State. The standard of the State judi?
ciary has been lowered. And, to oap
the; climax, wo have a legislativo body,
with honorable exceptions, openly and
flagrantly corrupt; a body whose votes
ara bought and sold; where scarcely a
m casu r o of private or public character
can be gotten through without the money
, being paid down for the price of its pas?
sage; a body where honesty is at a dis?
count, and rascality at a premium. And
these, be it understood, are the fruits of
the rule of that party which claims to
combino in its i mm ac u lato and elevated
self all the improvements and all the vir?
tues of a progressive agel And yet, in
spite of all these disadvantages which
ace here recounted, South Carolina is
improving and prospering-not because
of the pres?ht rule, but in spite of it.
And she will continue , tb grow stronger
and stronger-owing to the energy of
her sons and the resources of her soil
until she gathers the power to sweep
away all tho "political brushwood" that
radicalism has heaped np in her way.
And thus we come,to consider our needs.
What we want in public affairs is what
we regard 'desirable in private affairs.
We want a cheap, wiso and economical
management. We also want a full do
. vejopment of our resources. We want
the accession of numbera and capital
from abroad. We want a Stato pride
that will give dignity to citizenship. We
want intelligence and honesty and dis?
interestedness in our public men. And,
satisfied that these conditions will never
be fulfilled under the present regime,
we deem it a patriotio work in every
proper way to seek to supplant it by a
better rule.
And this brings US to consider, in a
general way, how may this bast be done.
In State politics what is the plan where?
by we can secure to South Carolina a
good, honest and wise administration?
Wo repeat the policy foreshadowed in
previous articles-to unite in solid column
upon a liberal Democratic platform all
the elements opposed to the present "rule
or ruin" party, and to eliminate from the
canvass issues that have been settled.
The details of our programme should be
left to future developments. But this
we may say now, when the parties
come iuto Court, let the caso bo made
np and let the issue stand thus: Economy
vs. extravagance-honesty rs. corruption
-low taxes vs. high taxes-the rule that
will give full scope to the development
of the resource** of the State vs. the rule
that depresses, paralyzes and retards tho
general prosperity. Upon the issue be?
ing thus joined, let tho witnesses be
called; let the case bo argued and tho
verdict left to the popular tribunal.
And,' unless wo are much mistaken
provided the prosecution does its duty
the verdict will be for the plaintiffs.
We turn aside for a moment to refer
to the unhappy condition Of the Winns
buio News. In vain we havo made the
.amende for a supposed stain inflicted by
the PBXENIX upon its new banner or new
horse-just as you please. Our soft
answer does not turn away its wrath; it
nurses this wrath to keep it warm. It?
weekly issue comes to us filled with its
terrible sarcasms and taunts and general
self-complacency. It has PHONIX on the
brain, and wo think it will do its brain
good. It confesses that it is unfit for
business; and we hope that it will soon
recover its equanimity. Observe this
presumptous idea: "The serenity and
composure of the PHO??IX is admirablo,
but, nevertheless, perhaps, it will not again
attempt its gamo of misrepresentation,
by way of belittlement, a seoond time."
No danger of "belittlement;" no, not at
all, for the News now looms up before us
a prophetic seer of the first magnitude.
Concentrio, for it "sees dearly the mean?
ing und logical consequence of fixed facts"
-eccentric, for it flies off at a tangent, it
is beginning to weary us, so wo leave it
"wrapped in the solitude of its own
originality."

of the inexorable logic of events. So far
as we aro concerned, in view of General

and cheerfully conoede to bim the same
honesty of views th?t we claim for our?
selves. To say the most, if faults he
has committed, let the mantle of a gene?
rous charity cover them.
We had time yesterday to reply but
briefly to the question of the Winnsboro
JVews. These are oar views more folly ex?
pressed: The issue that is made with radi?
calism in Sonth Carolina now is outside of
the subject of suffrage. That matter has
certainly been settled in South Carolina.
In the reconstruction scheme forced
upon Sonth Carolina, this question was
left to the decision of a majority of the
voters; that majority consisted of ne?
groes, and n&furally unqualified suffrage
was the result. In the last Presidential
canvass tho * reconstruction schemo of
Congress, with all its incidents, was for?
mally put upon its trial before tho coun?
try. We opposed it, and our views re?
main unchanged. But thc election of
Grant made Congressional reconstruc?
tion "an accomplished fact" in South
Carolina. Hence, wo must now remove
tho question of suffrage from the pre?
sent politics of tho State, and make tho
fight with radicalism upon more favor?
able grounds. Those grounds will be
found abundant-even after the elimina?
tion of the suffrage question.
So SAY WE.-Tho Boston Cotnmon
rcealtli says "nearly that on tiro section
(tho South) is now in' danger of relaps?
ing into rebel rule." To which tho Bos?
ton Post responds: "If this is tho result
of tho eight years' ascendancy of tho Re?
publican/party, with all the power and
patronage of the country at its disposal,
it pr?sents a sorry*5ccT5unt of its'Bteward
ship, and should givo way to wiser and
moro- faith fubser vants." -
The effort ol' John Quincy Adams in
Massachusetts is to put tho Democratic
party upon a lino of victory and not of
disaster. Tho effort of G. H. Pendleton
is to do the-Same in Ohio. The object
is the samo, though tho issues may bo
different. All Democrats can at least
unito upon this-opposition to radical?
ism-and this is cement strong enough to
hold the party together. '
THE FIFTEENTH AMENDMENT.-It may
be almost conceded, s;>y8 the Now York
Afars, that tho fifteenth amendment will
not bo confirmed by the requisite num?
ber of State Legislatures, and tho proba?
bilities aro, therefore, that the question
of suffrage will bo permitted to remain
with the States, from which it was the
intention of the framers of the Federal
Constitution that it should never bo
transferred.

NEW SECBET PonrrioAii OKOANI/.AXION
IN MASSACHUSETTS.-Tho Salem Observer,
in an article on tho political situation in
Massachusetts, asserts that there is "a
secret, powerful, fresh and insidious ?l??
ment" at work in tho politics of that
State which claims to bo based upon tho
strength of 50,000 votes, and which will
operate in tho field without much re?
gard to party politics or to prohibition.
It refers to tho Crispin lodges and simi?
lar workingmen's organizations. Tho
Observer adds "that labor questions are
becoming of vast importance in this
eountry, and tho organizations of labor?
ing men aro becoming constantly more
numerous and influential. Ordinarily,
in Massachusetts, sido movements like
! that of the Crispins would not amount
I to mnch, but under existing complica?
tions thoy may exercise considerable in?
fluence." It is evident that the Repub?
licans in Massachusetts aro in a heap of
trouble; and now that tho cordwainers
are deserting them and organizing
leaguos upon their own hook, it will re?
quire no little finesse to enable them to
retain their ascendancy in a State even
j as strongly Republican as Massachusetts.
Tho labor movement is no doubt grow?
ing in strength all over the country; but
what those who are sincere in it. have to
fear is being sold out body and soul by
some unscrupulous leaders on the evo of

DEAD ISSUES. I
And first of ?Ul. upou matters of na?
tional policies, although they do not
enter this debate, yet it is proper for us
to propose what v? deem tho wisest
course to steer. In my j nd ment, oar
defeat io the last election substantially
settled the reconstruction and negro
suffrage controversy-much ns"we* mayf
dislike the decision. There is no way
abort of revolution by which it can be
reversed certainly for fonr-and, consi?
dering the complexion of the Senate of
the United States, now the effective go
j vernment of the country-probably not
for ten years, at least. This insures, at
any rate, a fair trial of universal, unqua?
lified suffrage at the South; and even
when its failure is ascertained, it is pro?
bable that all moderate mon will agree
that no sweeping measure, of disfran?
chisement would be expedient. The
barbarian ballot then should be regarded
by a wise parly aa no longer . legitimate
subject of discussion. Ii hhs passed
from the"realm of debatable questions,
ana should not bo classed io tho cate?
gory of fact*. Argtim?nts for and
against ita adoption were odmissablo last
autumn; but now they are ont of place.
We cannot advocate or help it. We
must accept it as csa of the elements in
the pro! lem offered for our solution, and
address ourselves to that as affected by
this inseparable modification. '
THE OOORSE OF TBTJE WISDOM.
As things actually stand to-dny, what
measures will best .serve the general wel?
fare? This, gentlemen, with great defer?
ence to difference of opinion, seems to
mo the only course open to us. To act
otherwiso would resemble the wisdom of
a general who was beaten in battle
which he had joined, iu order to cover
certain points should, after tho victori?
ous passage of his opponents and occu?
pation of the disputed territory, rally
his army anew, on tho sume battle-field,
and thero fight an i mn gi mt ry foe, while
ho leaves all behind him to the unop?
posed progress of his antagonist. Let
us leave such strategists to bang oft' their
big guns at empty woods and waste their
ammunition upon thc debris of battle?
fields, while wo press on to assume a
new position full in tho enemy's front,
whero, when WO have restored our lines
and re-united our ranks, successful bat?
tle may yet be fought and redeeming
viotory won. In this spirit, we would
say to our former fellow-citizens in the
excluded provinces: "Come into the
Union; stand not upon tho order of
your coming, but como at once; when
you are in, and we can aot as fellow-citi?
zens once more, wo will meet together
and consult upon future measures."
This, gentlemen, in brief, is the spirit
which, as it seems to me, should animate
our action upon past issues; for the pre?
sent and the fatnro are very important
in theso days, and will allow us scant
time even to celebrate the funeral rites
ovor oar dead past. Eternal aotivity is
the price of party life, and the road be?
hind is strewn with carcases of tho fac?
tions which could not see that in politics
a dead principle is a mere prejudice,
? nauseous to the people. Vague declama?
tion upon natural rights or wrongs,
whether white or black, female or other?
wise, no longer delights a people that is
being gradually taxed out of house and
home. The man who finds it daily more
difficult to find his children bread, will
relax his anguish that the negro has a
vote; the most passionate lover of his
colored kind may recognize a fellow
creature iu a Southern planter, if they
both agree t hat tho price of cool is an
outrage, tho duty on iron a swindle, and
the tariff an abomination to bo abolished.
In truth, it is high timo that, after some
twenty years of a refreshing season for
; the national soul, wo .should take a short
term of attention to thc public body
which needs it badly enough.
To HE EDUCATED AS A JOURNALIST.
Wo learn that the Faculty of Washington

Convention of 1863, and then in the j

But alas! Sanoho was like a fish out of

the Legislature. Humors of his stupid?
ity in tue House, of his employing his i
time os a legislator in learning to -write, <
and of many other things unbecoming a
man of whoso wisdom they had enter?
tained the very highest opinion, came to
the ears of his constituents, and his po?
litical influence began to diminish. Tho
colored people mix up politics and re?
ligion to snob an extent that what affects
one of their nnmber as a politician, ne?
cessarily affects him as a religious man,
and vice versa. Hence, when Sanoho
began to lose prestige as a politician, he
also began to lose prestige as a preacher.
Out of his flock an opposition party

Tho Savannah Republican, a Demo?
cratic paper, says:
"In his speech accepting the nomina?
tion for Qovernor of Massachusetts, Mr.
John Quincy Adams enunciated the prin?
ciples which the Democracy must adopt
to achieve success in the next Presiden?
tial election. Tho New York ?Su/? (radical)
says to him: 'Ii tho party will cordially
accept his views on national issues, and
will present a candidate that fairly reflects
them, then the Republicans in 1872 will
have to bring out their strongest man,
and throw into the canvass their bottom
dollar, or give up all hopo of victory.'
"Tho philosophy of Mr. Adams is
simply a recognition of the facts as they
actually exist. He docs not see tho wis?
dom of righting battles over again which
havo once boen fought and conclusively
decided. To any longor combat tho re?
sults of the late war, including recon?
struction and negro suffrage, ho knows
to be as bootless a struggle aa it would
have been for General Lee to havo re?
sisted the Union armies after they had
hemmed him in on all sides at Appo?
mattox Court House. Mr. Adams does
not require Democrats to yield up any
of their opinions ns to how, in their
judgment, these controversies ought to
havo ended; but only to aokuowledgo the
undeniable fact that they havo ended in
a particular way, and then, like men of
common sense, to govern themselves ac?
cordingly.
"Air. Adams is tho first Northern De?
mocratic candidato for a high position to
break ground iu favor of the Southern
view of party policy. We shall seo how
it works in the election, and wo predict
that if radicalism in Massachusetts is not
put to rout, its grand army will be so
badly crippled that it will not bo able to

A WONDERFUL SOUTHERN DISCOVERY.
In tho South, whero liver complaint and
bilious diseases prevail to so great an
extent, thero has long been felt anoedof
a medicino that would aot specifically
and promptly on tho Liver, restoring it
to its normal functions, and at the same
time bo safe from after effects, and yet
so simple that it might be used by any
ono. It is claimed that Dr. TUTT'S
VEGETABLE LrvER PILLS supplies this
want. They aot directly on tho Liver;
their constant use will not injure in tho
slightest degree the most delicate consti?
tution. Females at any period may uso
them with great benefit, and realize great
relief from the distressing nausea which
they experience at certain times. These
pills are not recommended as a universal
cure-all, but simply for diseased Liver,
and those maladies which follow a de?
rangement of that important organ, such
as Dyspepsia, Sick Headache, Indiges?
tion, Loss of Appetite, Costiveness,
Piles, Jaundice, Sour Ht omach, Ladies'
Heartburn, Chills and Fever, Foul
Breath, Restlessness at night, and Flatu?
lency. These invaluable pills may bo
found in every Drug StoVo of any noto
in tho South and West. A286
