cgi^jiBiAv s. c. Thursday Morning:, May 12.1870. i j '. ; ? ' .. ' ? ._? Oar Political Daly. No oitizen can, with propriety, evade his political duties. We know that Borne good men are disposed to shrink from the uncongenial field of political contest, and to try to reconcile this course of action with tho dictates of duty. But it ia imponible for us to realizo how any citizen, liviog in the State, can divest himself of his obligations to exercise all tho influenco that ho can command in behalf of an economical, honest, and in? telligent administration of our State and Oounty affairs. During tho present year, in this State, a Governor and a Lieuten ant-Goveruor, members to the State Le? gislature, and members to Congress aro to fee eleoted. As nsnal, two parties will doubtless bo in the field. As to one .party-the radical party-that, wo pre? sume; is now very well orgauized. As for tho opposition, wo cannot say as much. It is very geuerally considered that tho political and legal rights of the freedmen are to be freely and fairly con coded, and that no issue is to be made upon these points. Thia wo hold to bc right and proper. In the political world wo must move on to fields of new en? deavor, and make the fight for a reformed State government on honorable grounds. It is also oonoeded that an effort is to bo made to array against tho preseut regime all the elements of opposition that can be mustered against it. This is obvious? ly the true policy. It may be said that South Carolina, politically analyzed, ia divided into two great classe3, to-wit: the BOBBBBS aud the BOBBED. The prob? lem before us in the coming canvass seems, however, to be susceptible of several solutions, judging from tho num? bers engaged in the solution, and the Beveral plans proposed. Of ono thing we are certain. We need organizador, and concert of action. To effect this, wc deem it essential for the people, who de? sire reform, and protection and develop* ment, to meet and comparo viewB. Hence we hope that the proposition for thc Juno convention will be accepted in every County, and that an organized and vigo rous effort will be made in the lino o: action adopted.

Mc.MAHON, City Clerk, The Evening Post very properly con? demns thu pru i m.-vi ti o ii to erect New Mexico into a Slate, ami says, with en? tire justice, that the movement ?H "pro muted by politicians, of whom tho Ter? ritory can boast some shrewd ones, for their personal ends." This is quito true, and, if admitted, tho Territory would be saddled with some such organized scheme of robbery in tho simpo of a Slate Go? vernment, as we showed some du\s siuee in tho case of Nevada, where, though tho voters do not exceed some 11,000, the Legislature and chief o ill ce rs cost in s?lanos alone 8122,000. But there art; other politicians at woik and other wrongs meditated than those of and to tho Territory. It is proposed to erect this barren Territory, which, ns shown by ils vote, 1ms lost twenty pur cent, ol its population since 1807, into a State, for the purpose of off-setting by its two Federal Sotiators any vote adverse to ra? dicalism iu nny of the great Slates this fall, lt y, in one word, an audacious attempt to bring in auother rotten bo? rough to neutralize some genuine con? stituency, nud it is a prime duty of thc press, irrespective of party, lo expose aud defeat tho scheme. {New York World.

I inquired of a citizen. "Ob, that's old General Preston's, and ia said to be tho finest laid off gronnds io tho South. There's a whole square, or four acres of it, and all inside is every kind of shrubbery that yon could think of, with gravel and shell wulks miming all among it." "Does Preston live tbero himself?" "Yes, considerably, but I believo he spends most of bis time in Europe. Has got considerublo money invested there in one way and another. Ho prophesied that thu war would como up a long time before it did, und so to bu ou tho safe side he sold most of his negroes, and in? vested bis money in Europe." "What relation is ho to tho Hamp? tons?" "Why, you see, he married a daughter of old Col. Wade Hampton, who WHS tho father of tho proscnt Wado Hampton, aud his father-in-law being vory rich, gave him this Que property that we've been speaking of. "The old original Prestou of all of them came hero yeura and yoara ngo. He was from Virginia, and was on his way to Florida, to get cured of the consump? tion. He wns a yonng man then, about tweuty years old, and traveling along to? wards Florida, be passt d through here, and concluded to stop, as he liked the climate. He weut lo school here awhile, married nod settled down. About that timo, old Generul Wudo Hampton, who bad been a colouel in the revolutionary war, settled here, raised a lurga family, and got rich. Preston also got rich, and the families afterwards became connect? ed by marriage. They owned a great many plantations, aud kept getting richer until the war came up. Of course, they all went with the South, and many of them lost nearly all of their property. General Wado Hampton owned a varj costly residence just out of town, whicl tho Yankees burued up.

The; would buvo owned the State after awhile But they wero very much set back duriui tho war und some of them killed.

Commercial. - TUB FRENCH ELECTION.-The result of the French election on Sunday, so fat reported, illustrates what may be re? garded as a striking feature in the in? fluences which control the destines of the French people. Though Puris stood in opposition, tba estimated vote ou the pl?iscitum in tho whola country is but 1,01)0,000 against and 7,126,000 in its favor. Heretofore it had been often said-tho expression had almost passed into a proverb-Paris is France. A re? volution iu the streets of the capitul has repeatedly determined nud fixed for n period of years tho political status of the empire. A popular outbreak, sometimes so suddea that it soemed almost acciden? tal, has more (bau once sufficed for the overthrow of au administration or a dynasty. Great chuuges have thus been effected-from a monarchy to a repub? lic, and from a republic to an empire without tho inhabitants of remote rural provinces beiug even awure of what was transpiring. With the progress of modern improvements iu modes of commuuica tion, with the multiplication of railroads, telegraphs and newspapers, of course tho likelihood of these sudden revolu? tions being effected ut the mere caprice of tho Parisian populace, without any previous intelligence or co-operation on tho part of the rural districts, has been greatly diminished. Still, within the memory of tho present generation, the revolutiou of 1817 aud the coup d'etat of 1852 were to a great exteut accomplished without concert of action outside of Pari?, though confirmed afterwards by large votes iu the interior. In this sonso, Paris is no longer Frunce. The ballot box has placed the control of affairs where it properly belongs, with the peo? ple at largo. Puris indicutes its personal dissatisfaction with the Emperor by voting against the plebiscite. The pro? vinces attest their preference for th? present order of things over tho insane projects of the red republicans and the experimental crudities of tho parliamen? tarians, by votiug largely in favor of the plebiscite. The voice of the capitul is drowued iu that of tho country. The provinces and not Paris govern to-day. That such would he the result was doubt? less anticipated. Perhaps this very fact helped to swell tho opposition vote iu the capital. A RIOT.-On Thursday night last, a party of intoxicated United States sol dieis entered the shop of Mr. Miller, ou Main street, and behaved in such a boisterous and disorderly manner that the proprietor ordered them away. They refuxed to go. A light ensued, iu which Miller was somewhat discomfited; but he finally succeeded, with some assist? ance, in putting them outside, when they hogan to bombard the shop with atones, breaking ont the windows and smashing tip things inside generally. Miller fired upon them with a pistol, wounding three ?ad putting tho others to flight. We lu po the officer in command will intro ?luce better discipline among his troops, before sucb acts of lawlessness and vio lenco lead to more serious difficulties. f Carolina Spartan. LYNCH LAW.-Lynch luw is tolerably effective, but it hus it faults. Mistake* are liable to ocuur. Tho other day, in Illinois, n vigilance committee hung a mau because he looked liku another mac who had stolen a horse. Tbe mistake was discovered after the man's neck hud been twisted ull out of shape, and th* breath hud permanently removed from bis body. He uutnrally felt a little cool toward that committee, and no amount of apology on their part could restore him to his proper senses. The lynch law men should be sure they are right before they go so recklessly ahead. Mr. Solomon, desirous of extensively introducing tho "Old Carolina Ritters" it beiug a most excellent tonic us well ru a pleasaut beverage-keeps uu urn cou Htuutly tilled ou bis counter, for the con? venience of all persons desirous of test? ing their virtues before purchasing.

In tho second placo, the exportation of vaincs which bring specie into the United States, and sustain tho credit of the na? tion by puyment of import duties. In the third pince, by having; taken such savage slaves us the author quoted has described, nud taught thom to speak the English language, comprehend the schema of Christian salvation, and re? spect the laws of morality and order; made them to know tho art of industry, made them consumers of millions of dol? lars of manufactures, and employed them to produce tho comfort and luxuries of civilization. These things have been done nud givon in exchange for tho ser? vices of savages who kucw nothing but idolatry, want, bondage, concubinage und tribal war. Providence bus wrought out this problem of Africau civilization in its own way. It lins employed the ugeucy of those who wished cbenpsngar, tobacco aud cottou, and of those who would biro their ships to conduct the slave trade. It bas caused the African savage slave to be placed in the manual school of Southern cultivation. The labor of the savage slave hus thus boen exchanged against tho schooling, moral und industrial, of a superior race. The result is before ?'ie world. The African savage slave of i7G9 bas been changed into tho American freedman of 18G?), fitted, in the opinion of tboso who use him, to legislate nnd govern those to whom Providonce had committed bim. Are not. then, the services thus rendered by the Southern people to humanity und civilization estimable? We have no in? tention to send in a bill against humani? ty and civilization for this tuition. The claim bas been already repudiated. It has evcu been enhanced by tho confisca? tion of the values invested nuder tho sanction of law. But worse than all, t hose who first protested against this de? volution of slavery upon thom, und next turned it to the profit of others more than themselves; tboso who have brought the negro African slave to the condition proper to make an American freedman, are denounced as a criminal peoplo. Thin caunot alter the facts of which we speak. The influence of Americio slavery in tho reformation of tho African negro slave ifi tho moro striking when we re? member that ull efforts to improve his condition in his own country have utter? ly failed. For many centuries Purtngul and Spain have tried tho reformation of the African at homo. The 1 loman Church bas made it a mis-iouary field for ages. The Christiau religion bas been pl tuted centuries ago iu Abyssinia, aud bishops in that kingdom cluim direct authority from St. Peter. Yet the state of govern? ment, of popular right and of social mo? rality is ns low in Abyssinia as any where else, while slavery is the common law, and slaves the common currency of that country [Lieutenant Marris, who visited Ahyssiuia on a mission from the British East India Company, gives thu prices current of slaves in that country, the equivalent being cotton cloth or bullocks, fie mentions one slave that had brloiiged to fifteen or sixteen different masters, and bad apparently been traded for all tho way from the Western coast of Africa to tho Northern. So slaves are not only used iu Africa for labor, but as currency lor circulation, and bills of exchange. [ At a later period, Great Britain tried the effects of colonization in Africa. At tho close of the revolutionary wur with ber American colonies, sho was some? what encumbered with the remuant of 8.000 slaves carried off by her fleet and army. Many of these were sent to Sierra Leone ami elsewhere on tho coast of Af? rica. Tho philanthropists of the Uuited States subsiquently adopted a similar idea, aud founded tho colony of Liberia. Neither of these enterprises have made tho slightest impression upon domestic slavery in Africa, or effected any mate? rial improvement in thc condition of t ho savages who inhabit it. The people of the Southern Stales can thus prooe thal they have, in one. century, done more to civilize and christianize African savage slaves than all thc professional philanthropists of both hemispheres have, since (hu birth uf Christ. {^De?ow's Review. WON'T ABOLISH THE INCOME ?TAX - Congress will not abolish the income tax, notwithstanding tbe foot that, when it was first imposed, the people were promised it should terminate with this spring. It is not wise thus to trifle with public pledges; for if ono public pledge may be broken with impunity, so nmy ull public pledges, and the peoplo, them? selves, cannot bo expected to exhibit a fidelity not to be witnessed on the part of the Government. If tho Government repudiates, it teaches tho people to do the same, and surely it is imprudent to givo repudiation, as a principle, such an endorsement. The income tax ought to be abolished at once. Everybody demands it. Every principle of justice demands it. Tho faith of Government to its pledges demands it. But what cares this Congress for such considerations? No? thing.-New York Sunday Times.
