COLUMBIA, s. c. Tuesday Horning, May 24, 1870. Ttio PollcyofKiTort vi.tho Lalos ez-Fe, Ire System? We have no doubt bat that there were men 'Who, in the days of Alexander of Macedon, took the ground that the ''Gordian knot," if let alone, would dis? entangle itself. They were of that order of persons who, indisposed to make the necessary effort, seek to ezonse their inertia by dignifying it with "masterly inactivity.'}. Brit a bold, earnest and active man, like Alexander, solved the problem tb ut bud vexed so many of his cotcmpornrit-s. With the sword of ACTIONJ in n Bbarp, short and decisive way, hq cut the knot, and thus the knot was untied. We have in South Carolina "a Gordian knot." And the question has arisen, how shall it be untied? Some argue, letita?on?-it.wi? uqldose itself; and thus take counsel of their inactivity -Of that spirit which says: "yet a little more sleep-yet a little more folding of the hands for slumber." Others lhere are.who prefer a more spirited and activo programme. They flo not propose to use the sword pf. military power. That is aliko impossible- nod undesirable. But they do propose to use the weapon of peaceful,' f??r and legitimate ACTION. They are'for making an, effort-a wise, an energetic effort-in behalf .of .political HEFOIIM, That is, the young, hopeful, resolute spirits of the ??tate who are for industrial progress and political reform, favor nation in behalf of the popular canse. They favor bringing all men to? gether on the platform of reform, who oppoae thoe? features of corruption in the present government of the State that have made South Carolina politics a shame and-a* reproach in the estimation of honest men-Democrats and Republi? cans alike-at home and abroad. This is the policy of tho men for action in this State. They have no faith in the laissez fairei policy. It did harm to na in the past. It will wreok us in tho future. There is no philosophy in the policy of doing nothing. This is a progressive world. Th?s is a moving era. These are active times. We mint be "up and doing,-" or we shall be brushed aside by the activo army of workers aud progres? sionists. Politically and industrially, we must be "achieving and pursuing," and occupy the field of earnest, well considered, vigorous and virtuous EF? FORT. We must Vgo in to win," but we must also "go in" whether we snail win or not. It is the stirred waters that gather healing qualities. It is the mov? ing body that collects the floating atoms. It is the faith, the virtue, the manhood, the activity of the good people of the State which aro to win the State from the spoiler, and put it on the ground of a genuine and a whole? some prosperity. Hence our judgment is against the proposition to stuud uloof, and let the corrupt body politic "disinte? grate." Left to itself, the cohesive force of the publio plunder will keep it long to? gether. In the meantime though "rings" and "coteries"-native and foreigu-mav fatten, the FCOFi^E, white and black, will bleed and languish. We cannot well consent to wait; for the ways that we op? pose are the ways of death to tho inter? ests of the people and tho weal of thc State. Our course is taken. Our duty, as a journalist, shall be discharged. Wt shall continue the free, unbiussed, un? pledged, independent advocate of tb? cause of the people, and we shall stand sternly opposed to all schemes, and all combination, and all rings, that stand in the way of the popular RELIEF. Tbere are men in the Stato, who will not con? sent to let the enemies of good and hon? est government walk unchallenged and unquestioned in this State. They will demand that nil betrayers of the public interests shall have their misdeed? brought to light, nod themselves forced before the tribunal of the people. Grecian horses, made by modern Epeu ses, may be sent within tho walls o! our Troy, but there will be found more than one Laocoon to send the javelin ol truth into their quivering sides. We musl make an effort to redeem tho State. Lei good men of all classes band together, and may Heaven defend the right. Lol ns make tho effort, if you will, on gen? eral grounds. There is no hazard in thic to honest party mon. Whatever there is of good in Republicanism, lot it live Whatever there is of good in Democracy will not perish. Tho State! The State! let this be the rallying cry. Buchan ef? fort as this broad FATIUOTISM will sanc? tion. Such nn effort as this may com? mand SUCCESS. So muoh for the general principles thal bear upon tho question of our policy. As to the specific line of notion to bc pursued, let tho June Oonvention of re? formers determine. It will do well if, whilst it shall advise that each County secure tho best possible representation, it shrill also elect to m areli ail tho army of reformera on the general tickot. Aa a Carolina journal, wedded to tho interests of the State, we shall meet on the ground of KEFORSI all tho elomenta in the State ready to engage in thia good and essen? tial work. ? 4 ? > Tu? Bine Ridge Hull rum! Cuse. Before Judge Melton, at Chambers; heard 20th and 21st inst. John Fisher, ' William B. Stanley, William Wallace, and Edward Hope, plaintiffs; against J. L. Nougle, os Comptroller-General j of the State of South Carolina, the Blue Ridge Railroad Company and Jumes P. Low, defendants. Tho plaintiffs, by n practice under the corto recently adopted, had brought their complaint on behalf of themselves as tax payers and all others similarly situated. The complaint sets forth the Act of Assembly passed in 1851, authorizing tho Comptroller General, upon certain conditions precedent, to endorso on Sl,00U,OU0 of the bouda of the Blue Ridge Railroad Company the guarautee of the State, pledging the faith and funds thereof for the payment of said bouda; tliat on September 15, 18GS, the General Assembly passed an Act reciting the Act of 1854, and the fact that the conditions thereby required had become impossible and improper, and enacting that the Comptroller-Geuerul should, without reference to auch couditiou, endorse the said $1,000,000 of bonds, thereby pledg? ing tho faith aud fuuds of the State thereof; that the said Act of 1868 further provided tho sanie, authority, in respect to additional, bonds, tp the amount of S3.000,000, thus making in the aggregate ?4,000,000 of bonds, whereou said Comptroller-General was authorized by such Act of 1SG8 lo bind the State; that, blank bonds to the amonut of $4,000,000 had been prepared and priuted, and wero iii tho possession of defendants; that of these bonds, amount? ing to the sum of $1,000,000, has been executed by the Blue Ridge Railroad Conjpauy, and had been eudorsed by the Comptroller-General in the manner above mentioned, but that these bouds were uunegotiated, and still remained in tho hands of the defendant, James P. Low, un officer of said Company, and might, at any moment, be issued; fur? ther, that it was in contemplation on the part of defendants to execute, endorse aud guaruntee, aud issue the remaining S3.000,000 of bonds. The plaintiff submitted that this Act of September 15, 18GS, was unconstitutional and void; that among other objections to th?s.) bonds they provided payment in gold, aud were not even such as were contemplated hy the Act itself; on these grounds the plaintiffs prayed that the issue or delivery of the executed and endorsed bouds, and the endorsement by Comptroller-General of thoso re? maining, aud for other relief. The cuso wus opened by W. H. Talley, E?q., on behalf of tho plain ti O's, who was followed by A. C. Haskell, Esq ; Hon. D. H. Chamberlain, Attorney General, and J. D. Pope, Esq., for de? fendants, the reply being mudo by Hon. J. P. Carroll The question arose on a rule to shew cause why u temporary in? junction should not he grunted. Upon heiring a most elaborate argumont, the Judge grouted tho temporary injunction on tho usual terms as to security. Timon, the Washiuglon correspondent of the Richmond Dispatch, wriliug under date of the 17th inst., says: Tho indications of coming disruption in tho Republican party in Congress are too plain to admit of dispute. Tho storm is brewing both in the Se? nate and in the House, and the cause is the too eon>taut demands of the ultra radicals for a continuation of imposition and proscription. The old love of re? constructing States is LO ardent that it oannot be dissipated without a struggle, which shall leave the ultras iu thu minority in Congress. Tho leaders of tho radical party see this breach cotniug gradually but surely, ami take no pains to conceal their appre? hensions of trouble. A prominent mem? ber of tho party, one who bas been honored in various positions of official importance, declares that thu breach, which commenced in Tennessee, is ex feuding over tho country, and tho only remedy is to fight to tho bitter end every? thing like to conservatism. Tho debates in the Senate within the past two or threo days provo conclusive? ly enough how the Republicans are being divided, and the extreme radicals savagely declare that their more sensible colleagues are going over "body and soul" to tho Democracy-and all because they oppose tho further introduction of measured intended lo impose additional disabilities to the people of the South. So far us the Presideut arid Cabinet are concerned, they aro, with probably three (if even that is not counting one too many) exceptions, favorable to the moro conservative policy. At any rato, they will do nothing to help tho radical cause. Grant wants peace. He tikes nu easy road, and does not care to inter? fere. At the same time he would like lo have reconstruction complete before the end of his (erm. If there is no more pro? gress made within tho next year than there has been in tho past, or if the extremists continue to hold their own as well, he will not experience that satisfac? tion. Et On? matter has been mndo very plain of late. Tho reconstructionists do not waut President Grant a second term. If thoy did, pains would ho taken lo quiet Mr. BoutwelPs aspirations, whioh seem to be uo secret. Giant's indifference to ..men and measnros" is the principal reason why ho is losing ground with the party. A few daps only will demonstrate more clearly the fact that disruption has certainly set in, and not to be stopped. ",: - ; ?i;'?.\'h -: '?'< '?.'.'' .' - ' The anion ia Sooth Carolina, eaya the New York Times, ot 'all classes, coloro and political partioaM (o a?vooato rotroneh naout and rofo^m in tho Govorumont of tibie State, represents a tendency of which the history ojlfj the next few jeers will probably furnish abundant examples. In tho absence of any absorbing party issue, men naturally turn their attention to the most vital, though frequently the most neglected of all questions, the effi? ciency of the Executive power. Waste, corruption and misrule may be hidden for a time under the shadow of party majorities, but the hour arrives when tho publio sentiment, without respect to po? litical distinction, demands with irresis? tible uuanimity an honest and capable management of publio affairs. When will Republicans in New York hnvo ar? rived at that stage? Tho plebiscite has, Bays tho Nation, as was generally expected, resulted in a large majority for the Government about 7,000,000, it is supposed, out cf a vote of 8,500,000. This is tho ninth plebiscite which has taken place in France, and all with the same result-au enormous majority for the party in power. It is safe to say that, with the existing highly centralized administra? tive muahinery, no other result is posai ble. AU questions put by the powers that be to the people, whatever they may be in form, will be, in fact, leading questions-that is, the answer to thom will be suggested beyond tho possibility of mistake. The radicals Bay that tho imperial arrangements in the present case put the result beyond doubt, apart from the general tcudeucy of thecouutry people to fall iu with the ideas of the maires, the sous-prefets, the gens d'armerie, aud the gardes champ?tres. But then it must bo admitted, also, that the performances of the "irreconcila? bles" in Paris have not been without their influence on the agricultural mind. Tho peasant's intellect canuot grasp Bochefort, and Flourens, aud Puschol Grousaett. Thc moderate liberals, how? ever, even the most moderate of them, such as M. de Muzado, of the Revue dei Deux Mondes, are seriously alarmed bj whut bus happened, and hold, and not without a show of reason, that tho ple? biscitary continuation makes tho refora illusory. It throws tho legislature iutc the backgroud, and renders it possible for tho executive at any time to reduce I to total insignificance by an appeal tc the people, as the Emperor is the sob judge when this appeal should be made Tho Emperor's reputation forshrewduesi will probably now rise again, as he hat evidently bit ou a device which givei him most of tho advuntnges of consti tutional sovereignty, and nono, or nex to none, of its inconveniences. ? * ? > Tho Emperor of tho French mado tlx followiug speech, on Saturday, iu re spouse to an address by Schneider, 01 behalf of thu Legislativo bodies, upoi the result of the vote on plebiscitum: Sins: Receiving from your bands tin result of this vote, my first impulso is t< expresa my gratitude to the nation wbicl thus renews to mu for the fourth time ii Ivveuty years, the signal evidence of con fideuoo. Universal suffrage, tho ele incuts of which change unceasingly nevertheless accomplishes its purpos always. It has for its guides its trudi lions, cert ai ut}' of its instincts, am fidelity of its .sympathies. The plebisci tum bad for its sole object tho ratifies lion by tho people of constitutional re form, but amidst conflicts of passion and io thu struggle with its Opponent? its purposes became greater. Let us no regret that the adversaries of our iusti tutions have made a question betwee the Enipir? and revolution, for tho tin lion bas settled the question in favor c that system which guarautees order nu liberty. To-day tho Empire is strong but it will show its strengt li by its modi ratiou. My Government will execut the laws without partiality or weakliest It will not deviate from the lino mai kc for it. Respecting all rights of its subjects i will protect them all, and all their intel eats, without thought of dissenting vote or hostile manouvres, but it will ula cause the national will to be respect?e aud will hold it ubove all controversy Freed from constitutional questiou which have kept them apart, its bei spirits will now have but one purpose, t rally around a constitution which IL country bus sanctioned.

Ams nealy-3 enetor Snwyer'i View? OH til? Subject. Tho Congressianal Olola bringa us tb,o fall verbatim report of the'hot debate in the United States 8enato; on Tuesday last, 4>D the BUbject of universal omneaty. We take the following passager? from tbe able apeeoh delivered on that occasion by Senator Sawyer: HE I8N'T AFRAID. After alluding to Senator Morton's de? nunciation of those who favored amnesty as unsonnd Republicans, Senator Sawyer said: For one, I recognize no man's right to read me out of the Republican party, until he shows that I stand on ground whioh is not Republican. Mere denun? ciation, mere assertion that I am acting in tho interest of rebels or rebellion, hus uo effect upon mo. I feel no particular anxiety to avoid pleasing the rebels if I d?- right and act as a Republican. I think it might be more wiso and states? man-like if some Senators should remem? ber that their ohief mission is not to make tbe rebels bate them. But there are some Senators here who seem to con? ceive that couaistency requires them so to act that the rebels shall entertain to? ward them now precisely the same opi? nion that they eutertained when the war was flagrant. Sir, that is not my posi? tion. When the war was flagrant, I hated rebellion; when the war was flagrant, to the extent of my power, I resisted rebellion ; but let mo say, Mr. President, when the war was flagrant, I did not hate rebels, and I do not hate rebels ncr anybody else now. It is not tho mission of the Republican party to hate the men who created aud who car? ried on the rebellion. It was tho mission of the Republican party to suppress the rebellion; and it has been and is yet the mission of the Republican party to re? organize this Government on a more solid aud enduring basin than that upon whioh it has ever stood before. SOUTH BRM UNANIMITY. But, sir, let tne tell the Senator from Indiana that tho foundation upon which he would re-o rga ni zo this Go vern ment, the foundation upon which ho would re? construct the States lately in rebellion, ia a foundation ns unstable as water. The rebellion took into its vortex tho whole Southern population, with exceptions ab? solutely insignificant in number. All classes wore bouud up in sympathy with it. Every man, woman and child, with, as I said, insignificant exceptions, had hut ono aspiration ao fur as the political situation was concerned; and that waa that the Southern Confederacy and the cause of the rebellion might triumph. Hero und there a man of generally very slight political or social significance among his fellows was, or professed to be, a loyal mau; but the number was so small that to carry on tho Government iu those States by their aid, and by their aid alone, is a proposition perfectly absurd to auy mau who knows the people. WHAT OUGHT TO DB DONE. I can uuderstaud, too, that those who would govern these States as subject pro? vinces, who would continue to keep ovei them the strong arm of power, who would destroy the vital principle of the American Republic, which is local self government, administration of local in? terests by local agents-I say lean un? derstand how those who would upset al] this principle and theory of government, who would destroy this chief clement oj strength in the American system, should advocate thc continuance of that system which should hold the grip upon the throats of the great majority of the white population. That is the only theory on which I can uuderstaud it; but it our pur? pose is to forget tho war, if our purpose is to establish iu the breasts of tho South? ern people a love for the institutions ol tho United States, if our purposo is tc strengthen tho Government in those Slates, aud to have a real Union, we must take the pcoplo of those States with all their infirmities upon them; we must in? corporate them into tho body politic ol tho Uuited States, as equal constituent members. We must recollect that a mun in South Carolina, a citizen of tho United States, must ho placed on precisely thc sumo platform, and covered by tho same protection, endowed with the saino politi? cal privileges, as a man in Massachusetts or Michigan. A FOOLISH rOMC?. When you shut out any one large sec tion of the country from all aspirations for participation in the public offices, when you tell that large class of men that they must have no part or lot in tin administration of the affairs of the Go? vernment you bid them to obey and love, I any you cut off from the Rep?blica! party ouo of its great elements ol strength. When I reflect that in addi tion to the third clause of tho fourteen IL amendment imposing these disabilities there still rests on the statute, book thc act known as the test oath, passed on thc 2d of July, 1862, which keeps out ol Federal offices practically, not, as mj friend from Connecticut enid, 800,00C men, or all but 50,000 of thom, bul 1,000,000 of meu at least, in the State: lately in rebellion and in tho States thal did not nominally go into rebellion when I reflect that all thoso boys ami young men who never had held nn office and who had no political opinions suvt thoso that they hud absorbed from tht atmosphere which they had breathed al their lives, are cut off from all aspira tious for Federal preferment and Fedora office, I say the folly of man cannot con ceive a moro blundering and stupid scheme thau thc scheme of keeping thal test oath ou the statute book. THE TBUTH AT nAST. Wo aro now, iu many localities in tht South, reduced to tho necessity, in ordei to get Federal appointments filled, ol selecting them from ignoramuses or ras jais; and yet the Senator from J nd ia m [ells us that we can select where we will -that the 50,000 loyal men tire amplj milicient to guido the counsels of tht nation iu thoso States. Now, I wish tc lo nil credit to the men who were loya ?o tho flag in the Southern States-I wis] o give them all the praise whioh belong! to mea who resisted a carrent that my friend from Indiana never had to resist -I wish to give them all the laurels that belpng to them. Far be it from me, who saw their sufferings and their sacri? fices through that terrible contest, to take one single leaf from the chaplet which should bind their brows. But, Mr. President, they were few in num? bers; as a role they were insignificant in political and social consequence; and if you attempt to carry on the business of government in those States by their agenoy and that of tho race lately en? franchised alone, you will certainly fail. WHY IXE BECAME A SENATOR. And when any Senator charge H that the political course on this floor of an? other Senator would bo controlled by the consideration of the questiou of bis re-election, it is an aspersion upon his integrity ns a Senator, and an implica? tion that he will violate his oath as such. When a Senator allows his official Sena? torial conduct here to be governed by snch motives as those, it is better that his place should be filled by another man; and let mo say that 1 do not hold the seat I oconpy here because I would have Nought tho placo which I do hold, nor would I havo held it or have been a can? didate for it, but for tho fact that I de? sired to keep out others who were even less fit to bu hero than mysolf, and that I could select in my State many tnuu nt that time who, if it had not been for these very disabilities imposed by the fourteenth amendaient, would have stood on this floor much abler advocates of the principles of tho Republican party, much stronger men of tho State of South Cnrolinn, and for the United States, than I eau ever hopo to be. PROSCRIPTION PLAYED OUT. But, Mr. President, I did not rise to speak at length on this bill. I believe, aa I said when I began, that tho speech of the Senator from Connecticut but re? echoes tho sentiments of tho vast ma? jority of tho people of the Republican party; and I believe that the ucuteuess of the Senator from Iudiaua bas in this instance failed bim, aud that be has not sufficiently studied thu sentiment of the party of which ho is so distinguished an ornament. I think that when the peo? ple speak on this subject, be will lind that bo represents not that majority which might have the right to read a minority out of its ranks, but that be stands in a minority which may rather ask to bo admitted to the orthodox plat? form of tho party. ACCIDENT AT CAMERON'S FACTORY. GnEAT EXCITEMENT-SEVERAL PERSONS INJURED.-Messrs. Cameron & Brother's tobacco factory, situated on the corner of Brown and Perry streets, was yester? day morning the sceue of an accident which caused the greatest excitement among tho hands employed therein, and indeed throughout the neighborhood, and resulting in th-' serious injury ol several persons and Ibo slight hurting of a number of others. About half-past 6 o'clock, a band on some of the machinery on the first floor became entangled with the shaft, caus? ing the second floor to vibrate considera? bly. The colored hands on this floor, some sixty in number, became fright? ened, and some began to cry fire, aud others that tho house was falling in, and amid the greatest confusion they rushed pell mell for tho windows. Tho Superintendent, seeing what was to pay, and knowing that there was nu danger, used every exertion to provent any ono from jumping out, but they beard him not, and expecting every moment to be crushed beneath tho fall? ing; walls and timbers, sought safety by jumping from tho windows, breaking iu many cases through the sash aud glass. Tho alarm spread through thu neigh? borhood, and in a few moments hundreds of persons bad congregated at the spot, all anxious to know what was the cuusu of tho excitement. Between fifty and sixty persons leaped from tho windows into the factory yard, a distance of some fifteen feet, aud a number were injured, most of them only slightly. A colored womnn named Susan Mum? ford was badly injured internally; Plea* saut Jackson bad bis band and arm badly cut; Georgo Banks, injured in head and arm; Matthew Rolling, an ankle sprain? ed; Robert Bailey, cuton(tbo band; Chas. Field, anklo sprained. Tho engine was immediately stopped, and no damage was done to tho building save tho breuking of tho window sash. Tho wounded woro taken to their homes, and, tho excitement soon subsiding, thc hands returned to their work. {Petersburg Courier.

They immediately arose and hastened thither, arriving in timo to see a young colored man, named Joseph Harrison, escaping through the open window. Tho girl, who is about twelve years of ago, stated that sho was awakened by a noise in ber room, und, looking up, beheld Harrison, whom she knew, at her bedside. She at once gave tho alarm, which was fortunately heard by her paronts in timo to prevent a bru? tal outrage.
