COLUMBIA, S C. Tuesday MorniuR, March 7.1871. ARE THEY TO BE OVERSLAUGHED?-It ia said that the Southern Radicals are clamorous at Washington for a share of tho spoils of Congress. They want to be recognized in the organization of that body. But, we are told, there is a feeling among the Northern Badicals somewhat opposed to their recognition. Tho vice-President and chief officers of the Senate, as well as the Speaker, Clerk, and other offioials of the House, are all from the North and West, and do not seem to remember that there is n South, when the spoils are to be distributed. This neglect the Southern Bads aro dis? posed to resent, and intimate that there will be a row in tho camp, if they should be overlooked in the distribution of patronage to be made by the new Con? gres?. We hope they will be, and that the North and West will monopolize all, having no desire to see men rewarded for treason to their own kindred and people. LKOISL/VT1VE PROCEEUINGS.
