TJhursa^y Morninfr, July 7,1870. ' ? ' a -a-:_b > ' ? ' S Vkte Union Lcagat Organization. In his remarks, nt the Edge field meet* iog'i Judge Carpenter v?iry naturally ^assailed certain features connected with :th? Union Leng no organization. We /hold that J udgc Oar pen ter may well^fc Jioufloa that form of political organiza? tion which ie secret, oath-bound and subversivo of tho freedom of opinion and or individual action, which makeB galley shaves -out of votera. Tho fact of the matter is, fe^ people understand the character of the league in these Southern '-.States. It is a mistake to suppose that attie politic^ only. It is as well military and industrial It is all and.anything in sOk? line of organized power. It is the t-bkicki raca.organized by theoarpet-bagger against the native xchite people of the South.' True, you will find a few whites ?inrt?io league, but they , wield no influ? ence, except in the direction of opposi? tion lio their own raoo. This is the Union - Uoagno. It is organized power, artfully : kept?together and based upon the iguor . ?nee and prejudices of ila members. It ?B wielded iu whatever field it may bo .wanted. Do you want a politioal move? ment, the league is ready. Do yon want military organization, the league de? screes it. Do you want an industrial . movement, the league effects it. It Bends its orders without telegrams, but with rapidity, and its .behests aro implicitly obeyed.' Over tho colored man, it holds ^despotic sway. - He is its modal nud amoral slave. It puts fetters not upon the arm or leg, but upon the will and the -conscience. It has put him in a state of isotd-slavery. And all this is done, not 'te secure his rights, for his rights aro secure, but to enable a hordo of greedy --office-seekers and office-holders to fatten trpon the public treasury. This is the .league, the "loyal league," and this is ..thechoice body into which it is sought ito Introduce white Carolinians! It is no .place for either white or black, who 'Values his independence of thought and action. It is no place, in our judgment, for ?situer black man or white man, who Uodks to his future. This league should bo dissolved. It must be dissolved, or it - will be met with counter-organization au organization which, when it does ?rise in its power, will be resistless in its anarch, but whioh we hope will ulso be just and generous in its decrees. It will be seen that the Augusta Chro? nicle and Sentinel takes a sensible view of --thereform movement. It says: 'ITHE REFORM MOVEMENT IN SOUTH CA? ROLINA.-The canvass has oponed iu South Carolina. Judge Carpenter, Gen. M. C. Butler and Judge Bacon addressed a. large radical meetiug at Edgofield .Court House, last Saturday, the real ob? ject of the meetiug being, however, to ?celebrate the adoption of tho fifteenth amendment. This purpose gathered to? gether some 3,000 persons, mostly co? lored, who wore to be addressed by H?ge, the carpot-bog Congressman, Elliott, De? laney and others, iu the intercut of fioott-- he of the Winohoster-rifle law and carpet-bag regime. The candidates of ttlie Union Reform party determined to '?meet them on ground of their own choos? ing. In other words, they attempted aud succeeded, after considerable skir? mishing, in making a successful flank movement. The leading scalawags aud tcarpet-baggers present objected strenu? ously to allowing Judge Carpenter and Iiis friends the privilege of addressing the meeting, but to the credit of the co? lored pooplo, bo it said, they insisted ou 'ireering the candidates of the Uniou lie form party, who wero then heard with . respectful attention, and loudly cheered. '-The pluuderiug acts of Scott und his :ne3t of dishonest aud corrupt office? holders, wore laid bare to the negroes with tolling effect. Tho addresses were calm and earnest appeals to tho colored peoplo to abandon tho wicked and thiev? ing demagogues who were leadiug them , on to ruiu, against their own aud thc best interests of the honest and respect . able white peoplo of South Carolina. The speeches unquestionably had a good ?effect. The Uuiou Reform party, and its can? didates, Judge II. B. Carpenter for Go? vernor, and the gallant General RI. C. Butler, for Lien tenant-Governor, have our sympathies aud best wishes for suc? cess iu the contest upon which they have catered. If South Carolina is ever to bo rescued from the vampires who arc now . - sucking ont her life's blood, it can, in -our humble opinion, only bo done by I just some such movement as tho one 4iow iu operation-a movement which muet certainly, aud most certainly does, -eommaud the sympathies, at least, if not . the aid aud hearty co-operation of all the intelligent, respectable and honest pooplo of South Carolina. We believe that the recent coalition is perfectly jus? tifiable, aud we wish tho good peoplo of .'South Carolina God-speed iu their re iiorm movoment. In Raliway, New Jersey, a call for a .meeting to get up a Fourth of July cele? bration, was signed "Many Citizens." It was responded to by ono man, who moved that the meeting adjourn nine die, and the motion was "unanimously oar ried, amid much enthusiasm." A young son of Mr. J. P. Doremus, cf Newark, N. J., was bitten by a lap? dog, several mouths ago, and died of hy --drophobia, last week. Thero seems, says tho New York World, reason th's morning to believo that Illinois has taken tho Ant step in a political movement of great nacl grave importance. If it bo trae that the prin? ciple of minority representation bias boen adopted iu .thnt State, to U'inois will "ostly bolong the credit of leading whero all nations really bent on getting at sub? stantial justice and intelligent publie order, must sooner or later follow. At Chester, on the Fourth, there was a military and civil demonstration ou the part of the "enfranchised." Wimbush was re-nominated for the Senate, and J. C. Roister, white and ex-magiBtrate, Sancho Sanders, colored, and Barney Humphreys, colored, for tho House. The Chester colored company is culled the "Yocum Guards," and aro armed with the Winchester rifle. They drill, we presumo, aooording to "Scott's Tac? tics." After the parnde, our correspond? ent saw a number trudging home, with their rifles on their backs and in a heavy rain. Wo are pleased to learn that a whito company will soon be organized in Chester. Lot it be done, by all means. LOOK OUT, SAMBO !--The practical effect of the enforcement law will be most seri? ously felt in the South by the negroes themselves. A terrible spirit of ani? mosity has heretofore ruled among them against any member of thoir raoo who dared to vote the anti-radical ticket, and mobs, beatings, stonings, otc, etc., have beeu quito common all over thc South. This thing has now to be stopped. It is a crime to interfere with any man iu the freo exercise of tho elective franchise. Even to threaten with punishment, a discharge from employment, or other penalty, for voting just as one pleases, is now a crime in law and punishable with flue aud imprisonment. Tho ran tankerous radical negroes would do well to bear this in mind. City Currency. Mn. EDITOR: Tho City Council aro issuing more city bills, by what authority, or to what extent, ia not known, as tho mercantile interest is unrepresented in that body. Tho lasf council, composed of business men, found it impracticable to carry a large amount of city billi?, us they aro not taken on deposit by the banks, and a merchant may have a $1,000 in city bills, and yet not bo able to pay n ?fty dui hu- draft; therefore n large portion was redeemed before tho old Council went out, which has greatly relieved business operations. But if we are to bo again flooded with city bills, tho merchants intend to protect them? selves. MERCHANT. Kc form Needed. MR. EDITOR: Afc tho recent adjourn? ment of the court, I was much surprised to hoar that tho County Treasurer had refused to pay tho jurors, on tho ground that thero was no money. Heretofore in this State, jury tickets were consi? dered as good asloue dollar was for anoth? er, and were always promptly paid. Is it possible, with the present heavy tax? ation, and when interest duo, the rich bond-holder is being paid in gold, a juror, who has to leave his farm at a timo when his services aro most needed, cannot be paid, when he presents his ticket! I kuow some, how many. I can? not say, being much in want of money, were driven to the uecessity of shaving them, nt a heavy discount, and for twelve dollars, justly duo thom by tho State, received but teu dollars. This ought not to be tho caso, and calls loudly for reform. One juror presented his ticket, and was informed, as tho rest had been, that thero was no money! Ho in? quired when it could bo paid, and was told it might be tho first of September next. Has it come to this, that a poor juror-white or colored, who is com? pelled to pay his taxes to tho day, or have twenty per cont, added, and who has worked faithfully for the State-can? not get hin .small pittance justly duo him? It seems tu mo no one will defend such a couran, and I trust tho like will never occur again. They receive at most, but little pay, and that should bo paid promptly. JUROR. Dickens' poor little Mite, who haunted the vicinity of Tom's-nll-ulonc, was never more ruthlessly persecuted with tho order to "raovo on" than the Indian races in thia country. Tho last instance related is at tho instigation of tho peo? ple of Wyoming Territory, who bavo already commenced squatting on tho Shoshone reservation. Thia once power? ful and warlike nation concluded a treaty of peace with Hie United States Govern? ment in 18C7, l>3' which they were as? signed to their present locality, with a I good many promises, which were never fulfilled, and now, when reduced lo a mere fraction in numbers, a largo ma? jority being practically unable to support themselves, they nro ordered to "move on" again. Unfortunately there is no place for them to go, except into tho territory of their ancient euomies-the Sioux-who will mako mineo meat of thom in short order. Still tho peoplo of Wyoming, backed np by the Governor, say they must go, and their old ohief, Washkakio, pleads in vain. Tho dilem? ma is certainly a very hard one, and wo think warrants some intervention upon the part of tho General Government in their behalf. Drinkists, go to Pollock's. ProceediDgs of Council.

Tho "heated term," so-called, has been gonornlly occupying the attention of tho newspapers, but after some show? ering nnd lightning, tho temperature became comfortably cool last evening. People are BO accustomed to abuse tho weather, that it now appears as if the weather had been retaliating, and, ns a contemporary says, exclaiming, "Look here, now, y ou' vo been calling me horrid, nasty and vile long enough; con? found yon, now I'll give you something to talk about." There is some consola? tion in rememberiug that no such heated term as tho one whioh began June 20tb, often lasts moro than twelve or fourteen days in this climnte. It has its uses in tho economy of nature, and let us have philosophy enough to bear it till its pur? pose is fulfilled. It must have boen intended ns a joke on the part of the grave Senators of the nation, who advocated the preservation of the franking privilege, as "a meaos of diffusing popular education." Wo will venture to assert, without fear of con? tradiction, that not one per cent, of the printed matter franked through the mails is ever read. What information is to be gained from dreary records of Congres? sional debates, prosy reports and flinty statistics, all iu relation to subjects long ago discussed by the? publie prints and forgotten? In these days of steam and telegraphs, peoplo have no time to waste over details, but look sololy to results. Delegates are sent to tho National Con? gress for the purpose of achieving these, and the public interest in them cannot be expected to extend beyond success or failure. Tho abolition of the franking privilcgo would not only prove of great relief to tho postal service, but would also save an immense expense to the Government, by removing, the existing temptation to issuo large editions of public documents, of no other use or in? terest than to fill the pockets of somo printer aud then find their way direct to the paper-mill.
