COLUMBIA, S. C. Friday Morning, December 29, 1889. Tit? Georgi* Corret?n lilli. Leo, the well-informed correspondent Of tho Charleston Courier, at Washing? ton? says:. The dead calm of radical nile iu the Senate has been slightly disturbed by the Georgi.i coeroiou bill. Tho over? whelming radical majority always neting in concert, has heretofore suppressed any thing like deliberation and debate, and all measures of the party, being dictated by canons or a committee, were simply offered to bo adopted without question. Bat three or four Republican Senators have discovered that the party leaders were leading the party to destruction and disgrace. As Mr. Conkling re? marked, the Georgia bill would, by co? ercing Georgia, impose uogro suffrage on Ohio and New York, whose people are hostile to it, and thus supply their Dem? ocratic opponents with a large quantity of fixed ammunition. It was foreseen by some of tho Senators that the adop? tion of the fifteenth amendment under duress would, at some day, be called in question. Tho radicals were preparing a pitfall for themselves. It was admitted that the adoption of the fifteenth amendment, by Georgia, waa absolutely necessary for its final rati? fication as a part of the Constitution, and that Georgia of her own accord would never assent to it. Coercion was there lore essential for the triumph of radi? calism at the next elections. The radicals expect by the negro vote, nuder the fifteenth amendment, to carry New York, Maryland, and other States now Democratic. Should a Presidential election torn upon the uegro vote thus improperly secured, the anti-Rudicah will contest it. This contingency is not unlikely to occur. Some of the Republi? can Senators, therefore, opposed the pro? position to require of Georgia, as a con? dition of her admission, the adoption o? the fifteenth amendment. This division for the first time in the radical rankt gave animation to the question. It be came evident that conservatism had crept into the ranks. Senator Tbarruau, of Ohio, distiu finished himself in this discussion, a? the Democratic loader. Ho takes tlx place formerly held by Mr. Hendricks of Indiana, us the Democratic . leader ir the Senate. The end of the matter was that lin radicals carried their poiut aud passer the bill, with the provision that befon the Sent tors and Representativos o Georgia be ad mil ted, its Legislatur? shall adopt the fifteenth umeudmeut The House will seize upon the bill 01 Monday, and rush it through under th previous question. The same writer adds: "A scusatioual rumor circulates arnon) the supporters of tho Georgia cocicioi bill, to the effect that a serious outbreal is threatened in that Stato nguiust th Federal authorities, and in oppositiou ti the President's plan for reconstructing it The radical Souators place confidence ii the rumor, aud are consulting upon tb additional measures which may be uc ces8ary to meet the exigency. As sooi as an overt act ?ball be committed, it i proposed that the State be put unde martial law; and, further, that several c the most promiueut leaders in the move meut be arrested aud tried for treason The Georgia coercion bill, which ha passed thc Senate, will be horrie through the House to-morrow, and wi be signed without delay by tho Presiden I This bill provides for the employment c the army and navy to enforce the execu tion of thc Act, upon the call of th Governor. It is intended that Govcrno Bullock shu)! proceed at once to call th Legislature, iu conformity with the fore bill, aud to carry it into execution. "The opponents of the eoerciou bi in the Senate showed thut there wa really very little ground for it. As to th expulsion of negro members of the Lt gislutuiv, it appears that there were bu tour or five of such members, uud thu their votes would not have influenced tb majority of the body; and, further, Ihr Governor Brown hud ussured tho poop] of the State thut the reconstruct iou mei sores only required that the negror, should bo allowed to vote, and not thu they should bo eligible to office. As t other members, it was also alleged tin they were all, or nearly all, duly qualifi?e and were entitled to their seats, lie.sid* all this, it was declared that the Legi: tature, us coustituted, intended to acce] thc fifteenth amendment, if it was lc to their discretion. "Congress would like to keep Georg; out of tho Union, and under militar ffoverument, as a memorial of Hie wr. They will do this if they can spare til vote of Georgia for tho iifteeuth amen? meut. This again depends upou tho ut lion of tho Ohio Legislature this white Senator Shermau says that if the men hers from H un i Hon County vote uccorc ing to the souse of their constituent then Ohio will sanction thatamendmen Ct is admitted by him and by all jurist that a Legislature may rescind tho Act < a prior Legislature iu regard to the coi siitutional amendment, as well as air thing else." -? ? Commissioner Delano has iuformutic from Cincinnati, Ohio, that satisfies hi that frauds unusually hoavy and extc sive have been perpetrated. Ono fir alone, it has beeu sottlod by iuvestig tion, has defrauded the Government o of the tax on profits for one year alo: that will amount to near$1,000,000. B little moro than half tho enormous qua tity of liquors of tho class maunfactur iu Cincinnati hos paid the tax impos by aots of Congress. It is the belief the Commissioner and officers at Cinoi na ti that other heavy frauds have be perpetrated there, and a thorough i nv? ligation wi'l be ordered. Tlint Ordlimntf. MK. EDITOU: Tlio ordinance toi the protection of merchants, proposed at the Hst meeting of the Council of this city, is au assumption of power, and calcu? lated to do the city great injury. The State, iu all its penal statutes ugaiust peddliug, has uever conceived such a re? fined scheme of prohibition a.s to require peddlers to wear printed badges ou their hat.?, or eh ?ii us around their necks, on week-days or Sundays, or any other do vice to show that the employment was a suspicious one. But now, for the pro? tection of merchants, it is seen fit to re? quire a mau to wear a sign ou his head, declaring ho is a drummer. It would be no disgrace fora man to carry an iron pot on his head; but you might as well expect drummers to carry them, as the badges prescribed by the Council. Such attempts to prevent free trade are ridiculous, and should not be en? couraged by our city. It is very ques? tionable if drummers ore au injury to merchants or tho community. There are many merchants who are unable to go North to purchase goods, and pur? chase their goods entirely from drum? mers; and now these poor merchants are to be excluded from this privilege by a prohibitory law, in order to give the big merchants a clear swiug at the com? munity. Merchants generally are free and liberal in their policy, and believe that competition is the life of trade, and will not thank the Council for the ordi? nance recently passed. The drummers who generally visit Co? lumbia are gentlemen and fine business men, and no doubt contribute very much to bring about a fine state of feel? ing amongst tho merchants of other cities and our poople. They spread the knowledge and information which in? duce people to emigrate here and in? vest their capital. But the Council, by this ordinance, pronounces them outside barbarians, to be branded. We acknowledge tho right to tax, but tho tax should be reasonable. We heur that the State law only required a tux of $25 for licenso to sell over the whole State, and a boud to returu sales for State tax. What propriety is there, tbeu, in tho City Council requiring such an exorbitant tax ns amounts to prohi? bition? FREE TRADE. FAINFIELD, December 21, 18G??. Mn. Enrroxt: This monopoly of thc j phosphate rocks in the vivers of the State, is thc basest and most unblushing scheme ; of plunder that over disgraced a Legis , lu tu re; and if there is oue honest colored ': man iu that Legislature, who hus the ! souse to discover the aim of these uu j principled wretches, he will stund up for I the interest of his owu race, (if nothing '. better,) aud submit a substitute for that ! bill of plunder, to allow all citizens of the : State, without distinction, to collect phos j phate rocks in the beds of rivers belong ! ing to the State, and to dispose of the ; same as they think proper, nuder such j regulations as the Legislature may choose j to impose. It would thus open a large j (lold for the enterprising poor man, und ! benefit the Sta te immeasurably. ? have I seen much of legislative corruptiou, but I nothing so barefaced as this. The I colored members of the Legislature arc ! the poor dupes of their pretended . fn'end?. Respectfully, A LOOKER ON. I The following extract from the letter . of a Southern correspondent of the New j York Albion i?s worthy of reproduction. We recognize the anti tor. He isa sound 'thinker: "The New York Herald was altogether j right iu one of its utterances, a few days ; since, wheo it announced the fact that, j 'radicalism would uever bo swallowed by i the South.' This is most true; the type j of radicalism presented uever will, aud j never ought to go down with a people J who value civilization, advancement I material, moral and intellectual. What ' evils has it not already educed here? j Let any intelligent, dispassionate so? journer iu this lund look at our legisla? tive assemblies, our courts, juries, etc., glauco at the material of which they are ( composed, and recognize iu such wretch? ed exhibitions tho violation of all natu j ral laws; such are tho first fruits of suf ! frage universal. If this grave question j only comprised the difficulty which re? sults from unlimited extension to the : ignorant ami vicious of our owu raco of j the right of suffrage, it might be bad ' euough-has always been bad enough ; but when it involves the serious eouipli ; cation of tampering with the laws, which aro intended to govern, direct, aud con ! ditton races, it becomes somewhat ap? palling. Tho feeling on thc part of the ? whites towards the negroes is kind and , humane;is, in fact, nil it should be. No i observer hero since emancipation has j failed to sec this; I can myself beur wit I ness, as far as my obsnrvatiou has ex I tended, to this fact. Weare disposed to j encourage their industry, aud reward their toil, willing that they should bo suspended and borne ulong by our civi? lization, unwilling that they should be used as instruments of political power in tho hands of men who have como here from homes of obscurity at tho North, mon, as Dr. Arnold would express it, of 'low understanding, defective education and bad heart,' to overturn all that is re? spectable and decent in Government, in? telligence and morals. "Tho New York Herald, for once at loust, in its lucubrations on Southern action and sentiment, is correct. 'Radi? calism will not be swallowed by tho South,* tbeu, too, ?Mr. Thos. Carlyle' is correct also when he remarks, 'If yoa will have your laws obeyed without mutiny, see well that they are pieces of God's Great Law, otherwise all the artillery in the world will not keep down mutiny."

THE LUNATIC ASYLUM.-It appears that even upon this institution radicalism is to lay its rude hand. The Columbia correspondent of the Charleston TovrrVr says: Persistent efforts have been made for a long time to displace Dr. Parker, the well-known Superintendent of the Luna? tic Asylum. For thirty-four years he has filled the posit ion with honor to him solf and credit to the State; and it is to be regretted that an institution, which owes so much to his long experience, may soon pass into the control of those who know, perhaps, nothing of the man - I agemeot of the insane. The change in I the regency is the first act in the drama. Tho second, notwithstanding the warm support of Gov. Scott, will probably bo the removal of the doctor. It is hinted that the position will be offered to Dr. Mackey, aud there can be no sort of doubt that the entire management of the institution will eventually be thoroughly radicalized. REDUCTION IN PRICE-CLUBBING.-The WEEKLY GLEANER contains more reading I matter than any other family pnper pub ? lished in the South-thirty-two long columns, printed in clear type. It is filled with original as well as selected I matter-editorials, correspondence, gene i ral news, markets, telegrams, interest j ing stories, sketches, poetry, etc. Dur j ing the early part of the coming year its : columns will be graced by a highly I entertaining nouvetletlf, the production I of n lady of this city, and which has i been pronounced hy disinterested critics as equal to the very best of "Marion : Harland':-" works.
