COLUMBIA, S C, Thursday Moraine, February 3,1S7G. *'POUTI?AL REFORM A~?D~JN DU8TRIAL ACTIVITY." There can be no doubt bot that the.se clements mast enter io tbo party of opposition to the present regime in South Carolina. Differences of opinion there may be on minor points, but upon thia wo must agree, that political reform is demanded, and that industrial progress is essential. No party can succeed, and ought to succeed iu South Carolina, that does not promise a progressive, industrial programme, and a thorough political ?hange, involving honest officials, low taxes, and an economical administration of public affairs. These are the points for the South Carolina Democracy, and the auti-radicalists in general, to wake. ~LIBERAL VIEWS. Io a recent issue of the Missionary Record, edited by Cain, the negro Sena? tor from Charleston, we notice that he disclaims for himself and people any hostility to white immigration. Let tho white settlers come, he says. If Cain is sincere in this, he deserves credit for taking an elightened view of tho matter. As for ourselves, we have strongly advo? cated immigration from Europe and tho North to this section. l3ut at the same time, we have also advocated tho encou? ragement and utilization of tho negro labor in our midst. Thero is, indeed, ".implo room and verge enough" for both classes of labor. We have resources to develop, and it is our policy to multiply the means of development. If tho radical regime in South Carolina can reach to the hoight of this great argu? ment-which we very muoh doubt-they will open wide tho gates of South Carolina to the life-giving streams of foreign immigration. Let labor flow in, let capital follow, let enterprise be quickened, and we shall have iu South Carolina an ora of genuine progress. But ia the present rule equai to the emergency? We believe not. Heuce ho! for another and a better. - THE SOUTH CABOUNA CONTESTED ELECTION CASES IN CONGRESS-HOGE'S CASE.-Tho Charleston Courier muk?s the following remarks upon thc case of Mr. Kogo, who assumes to represent, in Congress, the Third Congressional Dis? trict of this State. Tho facts iu relation to the trickery by which Mr. H?ge suc? ceeded iQ geeing his scat aro beginning to be understood by Congress. Thc 'laurier says: Mr. H?ge, ns we have said, presented :t purported certificate, sigucd, among ??Ibers, by F. L. Cardoza, as Secretary v<f Stat') of this commonwealth, that he had received a majority of tho legal votes. Mr. Randall, of Pennsylvania, upon a recent debate in the House, openly said: "I am advised that, if opportunity is ..riven, it ean bo established, upon the testimony of said Cardoza, Secretary of .SUte, that the certificate presented by H?ge, and relied upon by tho majority, as showing a prim i facie title in favor of ?loge, was not gotten up in his (the Sec? retary of State's) office, or signed by him ?ts un official act, but that Hogc called and got from him the blank certificate, curried it out of his offices, and had it filled up, as it appears; that be then returned, sought his signature, and obtained it, without his reading or notic? ing its contents of the dates." Aud this is thc statemeut of one. of thc Committee on Elections, deliberately made, in open session, upon tho floor of Cougresd. And it is upon this that Mr. H?ge, beaten by thousands of vote?, claims to thrust himself upon Congress, aud actually holds his seat as the repre? sentative of the people of this Stato. As Mr. Marshall, of Illinois, pungently and truthfully remarked, in the very presence of Mr. H?ge: "There is already a gentleman, from South Carolina, here, who is no more entitled to his scat than the first man you would meet on Penn? sylvania avenue. I say this, on my re? sponsibility as a lawyer. He occupies a seat here, elected by this House, but not by the people whom he profonds to represent." So much for the so-called Representative from the Third District of this State. Congress, it is true, has not yet passed upon his legal title to represent the State. In heretofore adjudging him upon the certificate presented, and in the faco of tho thousands of votes by which he was : ?se feu ted, to be prima facie a member, it has simply ignored the will of tho peo? ple, and done violence to nil tho elements of a correct representation. Mr. Hogo is no representative of any portion of tiic people of South Carolina. He rep . escuts nobody but himself and a defeat? ed minority. Moro than this, the very authenticity of tho party certificate pro? duced is challenged, and will, we trust, receive a thorough investigation. The eyes even of the Republican party at tho North are being oponod, as to the true state of nffairs, and the truth is gradually being made kuown. It is time that the real condition of things in South Caroli? na thould be mado evidout to tho coun try. Tho case of Mr. Hogo, with that of others, should reveal tho means by which I party has suppressed the truth, deprived ; thc people of their real representation, | uni destroyed every attribute of either republican or self-government. Mr. Hogo, who failed of an election by 3,000 votes, is to-day called as a Repre? sentative from this State, while ho has neither a constituency or a representa? tion. Nor is this an isolate.I example, as j v.'O shall have occasion to shew when we I refer to tho Fourth Congressional Dis- ! 'rief of Ibis ?tate. I "PARTIES IN VIRGINIA. * i In the Richmond Enquirer and Exami? ner, ot the 31 nt nit., we notice au article under tho above caption. Tho Richmond paper takes tho view airead; ssgge?ted in thoa? column?, to wit: that the issue itt tho political field must, after all, be narrowed down to a contest between the radical and the Democratic party. It expresses the opinion that the Demo? cratic party will control that State, and states that it is absolutely certain that the Democratic, party will reflect the temper of at least three-fourths of tho whites of tho State. On the subject of a fraternization with the radical party, the Enquirer says: "It would be simply impossible for any respectable number of the whites of Virginia to fraternize with the radical party. That would imply that the peo? ple of Virginia were inoapable of appre? ciating those insults and injuries which ordinarily work men up to the fiercest resentment. It would imply either that, as a people, we had attained such a sub? limated standard of christianity as to lick the heavy boot which had stamped upou our prostrate bodies, or that we possessed such an infernal depravity of nature that we could accept a money compensation for thopaiu and che shume which we have suffered. "Tho very pith and marrow of the Re? publican party is its conquest of thc South. Its brief history is tho history of thc crusado of tho past tou years to break the power of the South, and to run thc plough-share over our demolished institu? tions. You take tho heartowtol Repub? licanism or radicalism wheu you elimi? nate tho. war upou tho South-thc con? flict in tho Wilderness-.the bloody heights of Gettysburg-the fall of Vicksburg-the defeat at Atlanta-the flight from Petersburg-the Emancipa? tion Proclamation-the 13th amendment to tho Federal Constitution-the 11th amendment-the Sherman-Shellabarger bill-tho partition of Virginia-the Rayue-Undcrwood Convention-the rule of Torry and Cunby-tho career of Rutter-tho Drake Amendments-tho iron-clad oath-?-the sweeping removal of all our Stato oflicers-the story nf Ten? nessee-the broken faith with Georgia tho plunder of North and South Caro? lina-the treatment of Mississippi (with her Senator Revel)-and the awful, pitia? ble humiliation of tho Southern States which aro at this moment at tho mercy of negro legislatures-to say nothing ot tho burnings, tho pillage,.the d?vastation of the war-tho march of Sherman and tho ride of Sheridan. This is an epitome of tho history of thc Republican party. Outside of that they may have run up an enormous debt-they may have, destroyed tho national shipping they may have doubled tho prices of the necessaries of lite-they may have wrung in ono year from Virginia alono nearly $3,000,?0? on her tobacco; but it is the war-record and tho reconstruction-record of tho Republican party that constitutes niue-teuths of its biography. It is this war-record and this reconstruction-record that stands out in any conception of the party just as tho Inquisition, and the war in tho Low Countries, and the Duke of Alva aro the chief images in any idoa we have of Philip tho Second of Spain. "Obviously then, again, there is some? thing absolutely shocking in ono of us hero taking up Republicanism as n faith. It would bo as if the family of poor M nm ford should become tho greatest admirers of Gen. Butler. It would be as if tho womeu of Now Orleans Lad stepped forward to woo his foul embraces. It would bc like tho Lady Anne, won at her murdered lord's requiem, by tho grim and gory hunchback. "Tho proposition is, that we, silting amid tho ainokiug ruins of our homos, and by tho fallen columns and crumbliug arches of our temples, shall raise thc standard of our invaders and conquerors, and re-build our dwelling-plaoes, chaimt ing their songs of triumph, uud clanking our chains to the airs they taught us. "It is our opinion, that if we witt sing their songs, and wear their livery, they will pay us fair wages. But wo believe that tho people of Virginia will spurn their bribes, and work out of their diffi? culties without compromising their inte? grity-without doing anything that will flush their faces with shame, when it is remembered. "Are there any of the gallaut Whigs of Virginia who have suoh bitter memo? ries of the old-time contests with the De? mocratic party as that they would rather band themselves with the negroes of the State and cut looso from the whites, than to seo tho Republican party sustain de? feat at the hands of the Democrats? who would rather enlist uuder the colors of Butler, and Sumner, and Julian, than under tho white flag of Voorhees, and l'ondloton, aud Adams, and Fillmore?" Tho "ladies' gun-boat" rutilo, at Charleston, suspended by th? fall of the Confederacy, took placo last week. The prizes (such of thora as are not missing) wore appropriated to tho "Widows' Homo." Murder soeinr, to bo ou the rampage among tho freedmen of Bryan, Texas. Since Christinas, no loss than six negroes have been killed. The fusses all seem to bc among themselves. Thc weak and emaciated mother says: "My health and strength is restored by tho usc of" SOLOMONS' BITTE***. N21 For tho week eudiug January 29, there were 23 deaths in Charleston-7 white and 21 colored. "Just tho thing!" Such is tho excla? mation of tho Dyspeptics who use SOLO- j MOXS' BITTERS.
