OOL?MBIA, S. C.
Friday Morning, December 16,1870.
Lot elie Work Go On.
Now that the Legislature is to start
the work of impeachment, lot them carry
?it on. Let not the business begin' and
end with Judge Vernon. How mauy
connected with the present regime might
be brought up for "high crimes and mis?
demeanors?"
Thc Hrmarr of General lice.
As oar readers have observed, the ge?
nerous sentiments of Senator McGreery,
of Kentucky, respooting the character
and worth of the late General Leo, aro
not shared by the radical partizans in tho
United States Senate. Messrs. Belmunda,
and Samner, and Morton, and Nye, and
-Scott, and othor lesser lights, were bitter
and denunciatory. This is what one
may expoct of men whose narrow minds
give np to I>ABTX what was meant for
MANKIND. Senator Sumner was williog
to leave the memory of L?E to tho hand
ol history. We accept the suggestion.
We are willing to abide by tho verdict of
posterity. Of this we feel assured,- that
the name of Lee will be honored and re?
spected long after the memory of Sum?
ner, and Morton and company shall have
passed away.
It in not in the power of the rmrtizan
to dishonor the name of tho great Vir?
ginian. Even now, amid tho heated
passions of the hoar, we turn with con?
fidence from the prejudiced utterances
-of the radical exponents of tbs North,
-to the bettor judgment of tho large por?
tion of that section who do not recog?
nize the Sumners and tho Mortons as
their-repr?sentatives. The true, calm,
-unprejudiced men of tho whole country
must recognize in General Lee, a cha?
racter that honored humanity. If Lee
was-"a traitor," then did ho make treason
'"honorable, and adorn it with a peculiar
lustre.
Wc have this to add: The charge
against General Lee is that he commit
ted treason because he sided with his
native State against the General Go?
vernment, In answer, we have to re
mark, that since the establishment of
.thisGovernment, good men have differed
in opinion as to.tbo character of tho
.relationship existing between the States
and the General Government. In de?
ling that his allegiance was primarily
tue to Virginia, General Lee simply
signified his acquiescence in the States
Hight theory of onr Government. This
waa au unsettled question. General
Leo's decision made him no traitor,
and they who call him traitor, in the
offensive sense of the word, aro them?
selves traitors to truth, justice and mag?
nanimity, and deadly enemies to that
generous sentiment which is necessnry
to make this a Union in fact, and not in
name alone. Tho South and the man?
hood of tho South have b.^en violently
assailed in the United States Senate, and
they who should be there to reply tu her
defamers are politically ostracised. But
this will not bo so always. And tho
time will soon be when, in tho Semite
chamber of this country, the genuine
representatives of this section will bo
there to strike hands with a McCreery,
and to rebuko the paltry reasoning of a
Sawyer and the petty utterances of a
Sumner. Thus do we replace the flowers
of honor and affection that partisan
hands seek to tear from the fresh grave
of Lee, and thus speaking for thc South
and generous men North, do we rc-affirm
his claims to genuine honor.
The Laurena Prisoners.
When mon in authority violate tho
laws, or countenance their violation,
how oan it ho expected that the people
. -.viii respect tho laws, if they believe
'bey can protect themselves by their
own strong arms? When high officials
set the example of taking the law into
their own hands, it is an invitation to
tho whulo community to do likewise.
Jf persons charged with crime cannot
avail themselves of tho process of tho
Conrts to have a hearing on an applica?
tion for bail, is it to bo expected that
they will submit to arrest? Tho action
of the authorities in relation to tho
prisoners lately arrested io Laurons is a
proclamation that tho most sacred rights
of the citizen may be diaieymdcu with
impunity. If officials can violate the.
laws with impunity, why cannot the
citizen? Is this not legitimate reason?
ing? Wo deprecate violence-and pray
that it may cease everywhere in the
land. Hence, wo condemn tho course
that has been taken in relation to the
Laurens prisoners, which seems to bc
approved by the powers that be. If not
thus approved, why has not something
been dono to nrrest the cotirsn of pro?
ceedings towards them ? Is thero not
sufficient courage and energy in the
government of tho Stato to sustain the
laws? Ia tho ?State prepared to pass
into thc hands of a mob? Is luwloss
- ness to continue, by tho sanction of
those who are charged with the protec?
tion and enforcement of the laws? If
^o, then, indeed, have wo fallen upon
?ovi) times. Now, the point is this: If
those who have the oontrol of tbo State
-in other words, the Government-de?
sire peace ?nd good' order in the State,
? they must' set tue example. They should
recall to mind the fate of Diomede, who
I fed his favorite steeds on human flesh,
and afterwards fell a victim to their
unnatural appetite. HAMDEN.
