Bourbonlc VB. Progresa I vc Democracy.
The Sumter News replies to our oriti
oism upon its political attitude and ito
virtual playing into the hands of the
radical regime, by opposing the reform
movement. As we have little taste for
discussion and lesa timo for unnecessary
writing, we shall reply once for all.
The Sumter News seems to entertain this
opinion, viz: that Democracy consists,
and consists only, ?D opposing negro
suffrage. It does not seem to compre?
hend that it means much more than
this-that it is based upon moro compre?
hensive ground, and embraces many
other ideas. It is true that Democracy
believes in Caucasian power, and pride,
and prestige, and magnifies tho senti?
ment of race. But all this is not incon?
sistent with A common-sense view of
facts connected with negro suffrage.
Just as eertain as that the sun rises, is
the fact that negro suffrage exists; and
if it does exist, it is simply sensible for
?B to make the most of it in good faith,
and to Beek to control it in the interests
of good government. The Neics is
simply a Democratic Bourbon, and rep?
resenta that oloss-now very small, wo
believe. In our judgment, tho Demo?
cratic party, in a national point of view,
is the patty that we must look to for the
-reform that is needed in our national
affairs, and for tho impress that should
be put upon tho Government. But we
hold that the South Carolina Democracy
and the National Democracy should no
longer be run in tho groove of auti
negroism. Lot tho negro question be
deomed settled, and let us move on to
other issues. These aro tho sentiments
of the most influential Democratic jour?
nals in tho country, and these uro tho
sentiments that the popular voice will
approve, because based on common
sense. "We suggest, therefore, to the
News, that because one embraces tho re?
form movement, it docs not follow that
he lias cut loose from the real, tho ac?
tive, the progressive Democracy of the
land. He has, however, out loose from
"Bourbonic Democracy," and from this
we think it well to cut loose as promptly
as possible. As for us, wo are moving
on-opposed as ever to radicalism-but
resolutely bent upon tho public good.
We commend to the News what a Demo?
cratic journal-the Chattanooga Times
says on this subject. Referring to thc
opposition to negro suffrage, the Times
says:
"The Democracy are engaged in a
more important aud more popular en?
terprise. They aro trying to rid thc
country of the vast financial burdens
that repress its energies, crush its in?
dustry, and retard substantial prosperity.
They are endeavoring to get rid of a
tax list, longer and more porteutious
than the Levitican laws. They aro
trying to rescue the oouutry from tho
curse of an army of tax-gatherers, that
out out its substance aud steal what
crumbs are left. They aro tryiug to
rescue it from the incubus of a political
shin-plaster monopoly, compared to
which tho old United States bauk was
innocence and harmlessness. They arc
trying to undo the radical villainy of a
protective tariff, enacted for the beuefit
of a few monopolists, by compelling the
whole body of the people to pay them
tribute. They aro trying to remove
reckless dishonesty aud incompetency
from the administration, and to re?
establish constitutional, ccouomicnl and
honest government. They arc tryiug to
restore liberty, peace and prosperity to
every quarter of America, nud right aud
justice to every inhabitant thereof.
"In these endeavors, tho Democracy
can appeal to the sympathies of all men
who prefer freedom before despotism,
aud right before wrong, with a fecliug of
confidence that tho appoal will not bo
made in vain. Upon this lino, their
march is onward to certain victory. It
is a march in which Lhere is no time to
be lost in tho fighting of buttles that arc
over. Those who cannot keep step iu
the ranks of the grand army that marches
to the call of the future, will certainly
find themselves abandoned with thc
fossil relics scattered in thc rear.
"Such aro the sentiments of tho lead?
ing and. most influential conservative
journals throughout tho country, and
they express tho thoughts of tho groat
majority of the American people."
Let tho Sumter Neics decide where it
will take its stand, It must march on
with us, or it will find itself abandoned
with "tho fossil relics" scattered in thc
roar of the army "that marches to the
call of tho future." A word more, aud
we shall no loDger turn aside to chal?
lenge the political course of our Sumtor
cotemporary. Let us say that we have
moro faith in tho white raco of tho South,
than to entertain tho fears which seem
to givo direction to the policy of the
Sumter Neics. That race, wo hold, can?
not bo affected in its tone and integrity
by tho concession of political aud legal
equality to tho colored race. The white
raco of tho South do not require auy
legislative aid to bolster up their
strength. God made the white man
what ho is, and He made tho negro what
he is. Put them ou equal ground, as
respects legal aud political equality
give the same opportunities to eaoh in
the race bi"B?0E,.and-Wo lear not the re?
sult. Th? wbitcfaan'U irttong enough
not to begrudge'the negro the ..opportu?
nity to show all that lie can; fairly win,
and to re a oh tho1 highest civilization of I
whioh he is capable. We have no fears
for the result. As in the future, so in
the past, we expect to find* the whito
race illustrating and exerting a God
given supremacy, and wo are willing to
lose this white power, if it cannot bo
won by genius and virtue, rather than
by force and partial legislation. This,
now, will perhaps explain to thc News
how it is that a white man, fall of faith
iu the raco to which he belongs, may yet
consent to the political and legal
I equality of tho colored race, and yet not
abdicates those sentiments of prido in
raco whioh God has established, and rea?
son and experience approve.
The reform movement is in the line
of a progressive Democracy. It acknow?
ledges that negro suffrage exists, how?
ever unconstitutionally, and proposes to
extract therefrom as much good as pos?
sible This is what every sensible De?
mocrat moy well subscribo to. Again,
tho reform meeting se?ks to array against
a corrupt and ruinons regime all the
elements of opposition that can be mus?
tered. That would bo good Democratic
policy also. Hence wo maintain that
method. Party considerations, nor con?
siderations of any patriotic kind, can
sanction tho unwise opposition of the
Sumter News to a wide-spread aud gene?
rous effort to relievo the State from the
territblo incubus that rests upou it. In
good faith and in courtesy, wo suggest
to the Sumter Neics to review its course.

TUE SITUATION.-Wo may expect to
hoar at auy moment of the capture of
Strasbourg by tho Prussiaus. It is quite
evident that the Freuch garrison can
never hold out against the force which
is marching upon it. At Motz, however,
the contest will be moro severe. Tho
Emperor has returned to that point.
[ and has had long consultations with
Marshal Bazaine. Tho troops available
for thc defence of Metz and Nauey do
uot seem to exceed 230,003, a force ut?
terly inadequate to tho task, unless the
old boast of tho French should turn out
to be well founded, namely, that a hand?
ful of mon could hold Metz against a
vast army. Meanwhile, the movement
of the Prussiaus upon M?lhausen ap?
pears to indicate a formidable invasion
of Fiauco at a poiut where fewer obsta?
cles would have to be encountered.
Tho mistake which was fatal to Napo?
leon was evidently delay. It appears
from tho letters of our correspondents
that the Prussiaus fully expected to bo
attacked a fortnight ago, and were much
surprised at the French Generals losinj .
their opportunity. Tho movemcut oi
the Prussian armies at tho closo of last
week seems to have takeu their foes
completely by surprise. Napoleon will
have good cause to remember tho result
of bia procrastination to thc last day of
his life.
In Paris all is excitement and agita?
tion. The first act of the Corps L?gisla?
tif was to pass a vote adverse to tho
Ministry. This seems to have astonished
M. Ollivier, for the Deputies have shown
uo sigu of hoing opposed to tho policy
which culminated in a declaration of
war. They approved of the course taken
by the Emperor, and did as much to
forco on tho war as Napoleon himself
refusing even to listen to M. Thiers' pro?
test against it. Tho general feeling iu
tho French capital is unquestionably one
of eagerness to retrieve tho evil fortunes
of the day. But this very sentiment
may bo ominous for tho Emperor. To
him will bc ascribed the disasters which
havo befallen thc national arms. The
substitution of Marshal Bazaine for
Geucral McMahon may not appease the
irritation of tho people, These are the
hours wheu Napoleon's faith iu his
"star" must be well nigh dead. Evon
tho Pope turns his back iq ?on him.
"God will provide for me," His Holi?
ness is reported to havo said, when he
was told that tho Imperial forces would
bo withdrawn from Rome-"May I never
Bee tho French troops agaiu!"' But
whatever may becomo of the Emperor,
it is impossible to suppose that the
Freuch pooplo will cousent to peaco
until calamity after calamity has con?
vinced them that they havo fouud au
enomy against whom they cannot con?
tend.- Nato York Times.
PLUCKY.-When tho Popo was otlicially
informed of tho proposed departure of
tho French army, his only reply was,
"God will provide! May I never seo
French troops again."
MB. EDITOR: I have received several
messages sud unofficial communications,
intimating that the Republican party

ready to arrange the terms of discussion
with any one authorized to meet mo on
the subject. The gauntlett has been
thrown down; we call upon the cham?
pions of the Republican party to take
it up; it cannot bo done by proxy.

A STKAM Pnouan.-We clip tho fol?
lowing from nu exohncge:
General Wade Hampton bas upon one
of his plantations in Mississippi, a
steam plough which was manufactured
nt Leeds, England, and is now in practi?
cal operatiou. It consists of two porta?
ble engines, whioh are so made that they
run themselves without tho aid of horse
power, and so entiroly dispense with
horses. These engines are placed at op?
posite sides of a field, and by moans of
wire cables draw a gang of ploughs from
ono sido to the other. The ploughs cut
the soil much dooper and quickor, and,
laying asido the cost of tho machinery,
at a much less expense than tho horse
ploughs. They plough, on an average,
about 35 acres per day. Tho engines
are also useful in other work. Only n
few days ago one of them came down
from tho plantation with six wagons in
tow, aud drew them back loaded with
lumber over rough roads thut would have
required 24 horsos to do the same work.
CANADA LEFT TO HERSELF.-According
to a Quebec correspondent of the New
York Herald, tho British armaments iu
Canada are being removed, and the
14,000 British soldiers aro to be scut
homo. England turns ovor ber barracks,
magaziues, fortifications, Arc, to Canada,
which is expected hereafter to defend
herself. The noon gun from the fortress
of Kingston, which has nevor failod to
salute tho meridian sun since 1812, was
discontinued on tho 4th instant. It is
supposed that England, believing Caun
da uutenablo for defence by any military
force sho can spare in that direction,
does not think it worth while to incur
longer an unnecessary outlay.
By a singular coincidence, a pair of
egg merchants at Independence, Iowa,
last week, unintentionally became poul?
terers ou a largo seale. Tho porter sud?
denly heard a noise in the store room,
whero there wore 00,000 dozens of eggs
packed away preparatory to being ship?
ped East, and on going to seo what was
tho matter, found 720,000 chickens run
ning about the floor. They had been
hatched by the heat.
EXPLOSION OF "LIQUID SAFETY GAS."
An explosion took place in a low drink?
ing establishment in Now York, on Tues?
day, in consequence of tho igniting of a
match in a room in which stood a barrel
of gasoliue, "liquid safety gas." Wm.
McGrath, a bar-tender, was fatally in
I jured, and another man severely so. The
building was badly shattered. A large
crowd collected to witness tho effects of
this now patent "non-explosive" com?
bustible.-JVeu? York World.
EXTENSIVE FIRE IN PHILADELPHIA.

I know of an instance where a fashion
able dress-maker in New York urged an

said tho complaisant tempter, "I will
wait four years, and send in tho bill to
your husband by degrees. Many ladies
do it." Fancy tho position of a pure
