Free Debate Demanded.
The Stato ia now passing through n
heated and excited canvass. We do not
regret this. A storm of debate was need?
ed. Tho air had grown thiok with nox?
ious vapors, and the malaria of radical?
ism was affecting tho body politic and
threatening to fill tho veins thereof with
ita corrupting taint. We needed a stir.
There waa needed the breath of discus?
sion to pass over the fields of politics.
It has come, and lot it grow until it be?
comes a tempest to lash the State into
aotivity. Out of this commotion will
come good. It was meet to call in ques?
tion, before the popular tribunal, the
misdeeds of a corrupt and corrupting
regime. But there is one clement which
we havo never thought should be thrown
into the canvass, and this is tho element
Kit violence. Free discussion, free speech,
is all that is necessary. We know that
falsehood is nimble, but it is only so
when it puts on the garment of truth;
and so long ns truth is left freo to com?
bat error, wo have little fears as to tho
result. Thus far all the disposition to
HBO violence seems to como from tho rad?
ical faction. When Governor Scott
passed his notorious elegy on Winchester
Rifle Law, and followed it up by arming
the negro militia, and issuing ball car?
tridges, he suggested the role of violcucc
and intimidation to his dupes, bia tools
and his minions. See the reports of vi?
olence at Edgeiield Court House, and of
Wimbush's conduct at Chester Court
House-to say nothing of other similar
incidents. This indicates the animus of
tho radical regime.
Wo havo a few sober suggestions to
make upon this subject. We kuow that
the great mass of the colored people arc
not parties to this violent role. Wo hope
that the responsibility will be allowed to
rest upon whom it proporly belongs, viz
upon Gov. Scott himself, and his black
and white leaders of tho colored people.
We hope that our friends will be mode
rate, but firm and resolute. Whilst cou
ceding free debate to our oppoucuts, ld
us demand it for ourselves, and soo tho I
wo have it. No infringement should b<
allowed upon the rights and dignities o
a formal meeting of tho friends of ou:
cause. Whenever necessary, let a com
mittee large enough to preserve order bi
nominated to keep order, and after du<
notice, let them keep order. Wo advisi
no resort to violonce, except in legiti
mate self-defence, and under the sane
tion of obvious duty. Let our niodera
tion be knowu of all men, but let our dc
toruiinution also stand out in bold relief
In fine, we advise the adoption of th
Sbakspcariun injunction: "Beware oj
entrance into a quarrel, but being in, bea
it, that the opposer may beware of thee."
The opposition to the radical reg im
in this State, arrayed under the bau uer;
of reform, retrenchment and relief, w
are pleased lo say, gathers strength as i
progresses. There is a good promise o
success, and certain are we that if ever
mau, black or white, opposed to tin
reigning dynasty, would do his duty, uni
his whole duty, we shall repeat iu Sout
Carolina the victory won iu North Care
lina. As it has been well said, tbo Rt
form organization can scarcely be eallci
a political party. It is a generous move
meut, outside of party linea and ns
tional issnes, to relieve South Carolin
from the evils and burdens of a corrur.
aud partial faction. If he is thrice urn
ed who hath his quarrel just, theu i
more than triple armor do the Rel om
ists make their good fight. If Heave
blesses a good cause, then must its favc
rest upon the ends contemplated by th
Reformists. Let, then, thc good work g
bravely on. Let the good people of tb
State everywhere rally. If others thei
bo liko Judge Orr and Col. Graham, wb
haye no stomach fer this light, Jet the]
go. Tho genuine sons of the State ii
tend to hold their own. It is a siguil
cant indication, that wherever Judge Ca
pentcr, Gen. Butler aud other Reforme:
have spoken, a decided impression hr
been tho result. The power of truth i
thus illustrated. Nor i? there any doul
now as to tho unanimity with which tl
effort for reform will bo prosecuted. ?
the part of tho sober, intelligent aud vi
tuous people of tho Stato, there is bi
one voice. Political prudery aud a ce
tain sentimentality muy iufluenco a fe
men to decline to enter heartily in tl
movement for Reform. But the gre;
mass of tho people opposed to radicalis
are tabing a sensible view of tho matte
aud are seeking by practical means i
eave tho State for themselves nud the
posterity.

Oar readers will flud.^lsewhero au in?
teresting article on this subject, -wheruiu
the London 'Economist discusses, the
comparative merits I of tho French ' and
German soldiers in a fair spirit.. Here?
tofore it bas been generally held that tho
palm of superiority lay with the French,
and in this view wo have coucurrcd. But
wo must in candor avow that our views
havo been modified by recent results.
Whatever may have been the case, in
this Franco-Prussian struggle, it is cer?
tain that the Prussian has not shown
himself loss the soldier thau the Gaul,
The truth is, the German und Gaul both
fight well, and other thiugs being cqunl,
the heavier weight of the German gives
an advantage. It is impossible not to
view with admiration the spirit aud pre?
cision which have marked the move?
ments of tho Prussians.
War having beeu declared, nil France
becomes at once vain-glorious, and rire
la gloire becomes tho national cry. It is
at ouce assumed that the conquering
eagles of France will move at once on to
Berlin. And Louis Napoleon, iu the
style dramatic, with the Prince Imperial
in hand, places himself at tho head of his
army, and tho impression is prevalent
that VT crony stands near, ready to crown
him with the laurels of conqueror. . Not
so was it that Prussia went into tho strug?
gle. King William, in a God-fearing
spirit, regrets tho necessity which has
been brought upon him to resort to the
dread arbitrament of battle, solemnly
protests that he is not responsible, and
resolutoly prepares for war. Diplomacy
having douo its work, Bismarck retires,
and Von Moltke proceeds to orgauizo hie
plans of campaign, and under tho indu
ence of Prussia's iron system, tho co?
lumns of uuited Germany are silently
put in motion, aud soou the French art
found confronted with superior forces,
and the three columus of the Prussia!
army movo resistlessly on, aud carr.)

Uuless recently checkod, it may bo sait
of the Prussian columns that they bavi
marched steadily on from the timo the;

ble that both armies have fought will

Our despatches indicated, several day
ago, that Paris wus "greatly agitated.
The terrible news, yesterday, must bav
materially iucreased this agitation. Mai

retreat ou Paris, having failed in h:
pet movement. Tho Frcuch loss i;
doubtless, very heavy, aud tho soout
foreign powers interfere, tbe better ft

the opinion that "if tho Prussians ni
proacb Paris, a revolntiou is iuevitable.
A revolutionary sentiment is gatherin
strength in that city. It has alread
found utterance in the Corps Legisla ti:
well nigh reproducing tho tomnltuoi
scenes in the Constituent Assembly <
1789. It has been allowed a vent in tl
singing of the "Marseillaise" at tho th
atres, in the enfe concerts, and in tl
streets. Not content with this, it brol
out iu shouts of "Down witb Napoleon!
"Vivo la R?publique!" "Abas Ollivier
"Les Ministres a Cayenne!" and in sin<
ing obscene abuse of the Government
the old revolutionary air of "Les Lat
pious," wheu the first battalion of tl
Garde Mobile went off by railway

pushing himself or his views, he hardly
prepares us for the surprises, which, iu
tho social or tho banking world, he lukes
occasion so often to enact. These quiet
achievemeuts import character beyond
mere talent, and this is witnessed ulso by
the large list of clients, of tho best sort,
who hold to and believe iu him, while

.[Wall Sired Journal.
j A military critic in the Neue Erete
Presse thinks the Prussians have made a
mistake iu dividing their troops into
three separate armies, instead of keeping
them together. This, be says, is owing
to tho traditional Prussian policy of
bringing up as many members of the
Hohenzollern dynasty as possible to the
art of war. The Ring, who fought at
Waterloo in bis youth, naturally wants a
?separate commaud for himself; wbilo the
Crown Priuce, who bas a reputation to
make, aud Prince Frederick Charles,
who showed such great military qualities
at the battle of Missuude, are also ambi
! tious of a similar position. But such a
division of commands, observes thc critic,
is very prejudicial to tho movements of
an army, aud has ofteu caused its defeat.
Clausewitz says: "There is nothing more
unmanageable than nu army divided into
three parts, except oue divided iuto two
parts." Tlio victory of Napoleon I, at
Liguy, \va3 duo to tho fact that tho Eng?
lish army was separated from tho Prus?
sian; and in 1812, he defeated, iu detail,
the armies of Barclay de Tolly aud Bra
gation, by using similar tactics. In tho
Italian war of 1850, again, the Austrian
army, after the battle of Maganta, sepa?
rated into two parts-one under General
Wimpffeu, the other under Gen. Schlick,
the Emperor retaining tho chief com?
maud over both divisions; and the book
on this war, published by tho Prussian
headquarters* stuff in 1863, says that this
separation was the chief cause of Aus?
tria's defeat. The samo circumstances
wore repeated iu Italy in 1800, when tho
Archduke Albert owed his victory over
the Italians, in a great degroo, to tho se?
paration of their forces. It is true, that
in the last German war, the Prussian tac?
tics were the same in this respect that
they are now; Goo. Herwarth, Prince
Frederick Charles, and the Crown Princo
euch entered Bohemia separately. But
it was tho fault of tho Austrians that they
did not tnko advantage of this mistake.
Even at Koniggrattt, tho army of Prince
Frederick Charles bad to bear the wdiolo
brunt of tho battle, aud it was all but too
lato when tho Crown Prince arrived and
secured tho victory to tho Prussians.

In bis day, Dr. Sam. Johnson was in
tho habit of saying:
**Patriotism is tbe last refuge of a scouu
drel." In our day, it is lot/ally. Tbo
Bible says, "Charity covers a multitude
of sins." According to tho creed of rad?

Tho colored troops all over the State

The Bev. J. P. Newman bas gone nil
tho way to Utah to oppose ia debate the
doctrine of polygamy. Dr. Newman is
Chaplain to Congress, and as charity be?
gins at home, why did not the Doctor
open the debate at Washington? "Why
went ho forth?"
Au easy way to get into trouble is to
say, "Down with King William," in a
German beer saloon, or to say, ** Up with
him," in a French cafe.
The French have a corps called thc
"Zephyrs," made up of ex-scamps iu
general, who go into battle with tho cry
of " Vice lu morl."
Tbe "Imperial Baby" of France huv
ing disappeared from public view since
receiving bis "baptism of lire," upou
which occasiou tho "soldiers wept at his
tranquility," it is conjectured that ho
took cold and has bceu returned to the
maternal caro.
King William un nuances a great battle,
and adds: "I hasten to tho scene of con?
flict." It is to be hoped that be did uot
take caro to reach tbe field after tho
Gght was over.
It appears now that, when to quell
tho public alarm, Napoleon wrote: "I
hasten to put myself in the centre of the
position," ho did not' then and therefore,
forthwith restore tho military equili?
brium.
It has beeu said, "blessed is the man
that inventeth sleep." We think, thrice
blessed be who did event morphine.
It has beeu well said, that there is uo

and dissolves pompous people, who ima?
gine themselves to bo "some one iu

It is now definitely settled-the New
York Tribune to the contrary-that when
Gen. Graut passed James Fisk, Jr., tho
latter gentleman did not "make a face
with his fingers" at Gen. Graut. Mr.
Fisk was wrongfully charged with the
"gyrutory rbinodactylic gesture." This
matter is settled iu a card from Fisk him?
