COLUMBIA. S. C. Wednesday Morning. Maren 22, 1671. .-f-yij?- . . i-t -'-:?? - - ~ Vii? CMa.or^^H**?'. F*rk?r. We:Shall commit the casa of Mr. Parker to our correspondent "Calchas," who we presume will have something to say by Way of rejoinder. We, however, observe that the public will agree with ns in the remark that Mr. Parker's so called defence is extremely lame. Ac? cording; to, his view, he has been a deeply i?jarod man. In order to impress this notion upon the public mind, he must bring forward far stronger evidence of lita innocence than his card contains. " , ' '. ?' ,??'?' Hqaator ?obouon *. * Paclflculor. From the communication addressed by Senator Robertson to certain gentle? men, it will be seen that he presents himself before the people of this Sbate in the attitude of a pacificator. We are disposed to give every man full credit for his good intentions, and we ure dis? posed to believe that Mr. Robertson, after the attainment of his political pro? motion,, really desires to have peace, and is in a mood .tc bc cn geed and easy torm? (v?ith all tho people of the State, /'regardless <of race, color, or provions condition." ' He is not the OD ry member of tho Radical party of this State who, after subordinating tho intelligent white people Of feouth Carolina to a degrading and corrup? rule, and after thus dissolv? ing the bonds .of i society, now seeks to relieve himself of the responsibility for the present state of things, by throwing upon tho ostracised portion of the State the ona o of a disturbed state of society. Gov. Scott calls npon the leading gen? tlemen of the i State to assist in the. re? storation of1 peace. Mr, Robertson makes a Similar call,'and in each case the im? pression U sought to be made that the men appealed to are responsible for the storm that has been raised. We are ready to sustain every good move in th? direction of the State's ad? vancement, come from what source it may. We are ready to acknowledge what is creditable in the oourse of Gov. Scott, Mr. Robertson, or any one else. If .they are ready to atone for the errors and crimea and shortcomings of the past, let them so atone, and we shall not with? held our just commendation. But this we intend to affirm : that in the present condition of our people, we realize the fruits' of Radicalism and the work of Radical leaders. . THE , TROUBLES OF FRANCE. -When the conquering Prussians marched into Paris, the world supposed poor France had drained to the dregs the cup of humiliation. But it seems that her mis? fortunes are not over. Perhaps her worst sufferings have just begun. Fo? reign war ia a huge affliction when the tramp of the enemy is upon the invaded soil. But when the vitals of the land are torn by intestine dissensions and bro? thers shed each other's blood, it is the climax of horror. Let ns hope the pre? sent ebullition is momentary, and con? fined within narrow limits. It is proba? bly not the fore-ranner of wide spread anarchy, but the blind rage of a small mob who seek to vent an impotent rage at home, now that they have no Ger? mans to defy their prowess. One would suppose, soys the Augusta Constitution? alist, the French fondness for fighting bad been sufficiently gratified, and that they oould not now afford to cut each other's throats. ' THE EXILED EMPBBOB NAPOLEON.-A correspondent, of a New York journal says that Napoleon intends moving hie household to America shortly, and that Eugenie is already preparing to depart from England for New York as the ad? vance guard of the imperial emigration. His recent Highness and the ex-Prince Imperial will bring up the rear in time. Just previous to the breaking out of the war it is stated that Napoleon had caused large investments tobe made in New York on his account, but whether this statement, added to the other, amounts to anything,. though both are on the usual "best authority" of correspond? ents, ia a matter which one can acceptor not ss he may. PAKW EXCITEMENTS.-Itseoms inevita? ble that some olique or other is destined to keep Paris Under perpetual pressure of anxiety and excitement. Now that Montmartre has been silenced and the re? bellious National Guards disurmed, hero comes Ricotti Garibaldi with numerous followers, whose very presence exerts a disquieting infl?enoo throughout the French capital. What has brought Ricotti to Paris is a mystery; but myste? ries always excite Paris, thongh in this there may be no other significance than can ba attached to the presence of his brother Menotti 12 London.

Done and ratified in Council this 20th day of March, A. D. 1871. JOHN ALEXANDER, Mayor. Attest: WM. J. ETTBK, Clerk Council. A DECIDED SNUB.-Greeley, in hif Tribune, does not comment very kindly upon the maiden speech of the first black Representative of South Carolina. He says: "Mr. Elliott, one of South Carolina's new Representatives, asserted on Tues? day that the Ku Klux disturbers of the South aro the 'very class of men whom it is proposed to relieve of their political disabilities.' In the absence of proof, probabilities aro entitled to weight, and Mr. E.'s naked assertion does not suffice to prove that the midnight riders and raiders in masks and multiform dis? guises, by whom the South is now dis? turbed, are the ex-colonels, ex-legislators and ex-magistrates of the old slave-hold? ing regime, who aro alone excluded from office by existing disabilities. If Mr. E. had asserted that pears and watermelons are generally stolen by clergymen and deacons fifty to eighty years old, hie mistake would not be more obvious than it now ia." FRANCS' AND THE Gnni ESE.-The Chi? nese Government has soothed the wratL of France for damogo done to Frenofc property during* the Tsin-Tsin disturb ancos by the payment of $300,000, and tbe appointment of a Frenchman to the position of imperial .interpreter, with t salary of $15,000 per annum. These concessions are regarded os a full settle? ment of the claim.

The theatre of war is ojbsed for the present. A peace is its preparation which we hope will bav^ an unprece? dented ran.
