COXUTOLA, s. c. il ? i i hi , ? ... . i-:-. Saturday Korain K, March 24,1871. "Southern Sentiment.*' 7 o New York 7Sme$ ia maoh concern? ed about "Southern sentiment." In its issue of March 20, it undertakes to give the "opinions of prominent papera and politicians"-referring to this journal and the letter of Gov. Ferry recently published in these columns. It gives extraots from various prominent newspa? pers in the South, and the conclusion that it seems to arrive at ia that there is "on unpleasant and unwelcome state of feeling in the Southern States." It goes even further and throws ont the sugges? tion that the people of the South are . preparing for another issuo with tho Ge? neral Government. We propose to deal candidly and fairly with the Times. Wo 'shall not -churgo it with socking to accom? plish party ends by firing the Northern ?mind and reviving those sharp and bitter 'feelings born of war. We shall assume that tho Times desires to interpret cor? rectly the s tato of feeling in the South? ern States. We soy to the Times timi its views,, as respects the Sonth, are errone? ous. Could the Tim?s realize the trae ?toto of affairs in Sonth Carolina, result ting from political corruption and mis? rule, it would understand that what it considers the exhibition of hostility to ihe Government,1 is ? very mnoh allied to .the Instincts of self .preservation. "Sholl dt bo penco or W?r," ia a grave question, and we feel its momentous gravity. But there is a graver question still, that comes np before ontraged communities, and this is: "Shall it be life or death." The Times may rest assured, that if it falls to note tho existence of a pleasant and welcome state of feeling in the Southern States, the "ex-inBnrgent" peo? ple thereof are not properly and justly to be held responsible. This unsatisfac? tory condition of publia affairs is due to the regime that the Times assisted to fix apon these Southern States-whioh re? gime is violative of all those principles of government that were formerly esteemed the peculiar property of the citizens of this Republic. If the governmental pyramid is made to stand upon its apex, need it excite surprise that it fails to stand firm, and requires extraneous propping? If there be violence and lawlessness, under the forms of law, need it excite wonder that violence should ?rise outside of law? If the Times would reach the pi imary cause of South? ern disorders, let it understand that offi? cial corruption breeds trouble, and that -official lawlessness is the parent of pub lio violence. Tho tronblo comes from the political regime al present in power not because it is "Republican," or "Ra? dical," but because in the main it is ig? norant, corrupt and extravagant, and non-representatire of tho property and much of the virtue and intelligence of the State. The Times and its aiders and abettors make this mistake: It is not the "ex-in ?urgent" people of the South who need "reconstruction," but it is the Radical '-State Governments that need revision --and reform. The Times wants to know ."when there will be peace at the South." There will be peace when this revision or reform shall tuko place. If the Times desires to hasten the day, let it urge Con? gress to improve its work at once. Un? less this is done, our cotemporary must await the period when the work of re? form shall bo doue by home influences and home efforts. We desire to correct tho impressions of the New York Times upon another point. It stales that "tho political character of the South is one of intenso intolerance"-that "provision is mado for Northern capital, energy nnd perse? verance, but none for Northern opinion." We do not admit that this allegation is well founded. It so happens that at tho South the term "Radical" or "Republi? can" is so often allied with personal or political corruption, that the terms have Aleen brought into disrepute here iu tho .-minds of tho great mass of intelligent peruous. But there is no special intole? rance of honest political opinions. Whatever may be said to tho contrary, the white people of the South extend a hearty welcome to Northern men settling in our midst. So far from there boing a disposition to exclude Northern settlers, We know that there is a feeling of par? tiality for such accessions to our popula? tion; Aud we very muoh doubt if any Northern settler in South Carolina can lie found to complain of nny ill treat? ment at tho hands of Southern men. We behove that tho South is to be largely benefittod by Northern emigra? tion, aud wo aro ready to provide for their "opinio?is," as well as their "capi? tal, energy and perseverance." Let a Northern man come aud identify himself with ns and our fortunes, and wo shall be found to trust bira for his "opinions." We know very well that ho will bo found to demand hs wc do au honest, fair and eoonomioal Qovornmoat, anti one that puta the State apon o prosp?rons and honorable career. Tho Times saja ip effect, that it ?ffers us peace bot we re? ject it. We have to say that wo caja safely affirm that tho Sontheim people earnestly want honest peace. .The great aspiration of the Sooth is for peace. Oor people T?snt to restore their for? tunes-improve their home s-build their churches and school-houses-und edu? cate their young. If they do not enjoy peace, it is because of the grievous po? litical burdens that have been laid upon them, darkening their future, and de? priving them of tho fruits of honest aud hard toil. Tho Times says "tho people of the States lately in rebellion are mere? ly iuvited to au equal participation iu the Government." This privilege, the Times states, we aro responsible for not enjoying. Wo differ with the Times. All the said people want is an "equal participation in the Government." This we have neither at Washington nor at Columbia. With taxation without rep? resentation-with a large portion of tho people of the State absolutely without representation in the General aud the Stato Government-we aro told that "ex-insurgents" are responsible for the faot that peace does not prevail iu the Southern Sta tas! Let the Times review its assumptions. STARTUNG REVELATIONS.-The Wash? ington correspondent of the Savannah Republican furnishes foots which should awako the whole country from its slum? bers. Millions of the publio revouuo, collected out of the hard earniugs of the people, has disappeared and no effort ia made by the Government to hold tho thieves responsible; that the Secretary of the Troisury persistently refuses to respond to an inquiry of Congress for information, shows to what an alarming stage of corruption the Government has attained under the present administra? tion. These robberies aro bad enough in themselves, but when the Vice-Presi? dent of the United States and the Chair? man of the Finanoe Committeo of tho Senate talk about "natural absorption in passing from hand to hand," the insult to the people becomes insufferable. No doubt it is very "natural" for these officials to absorb, but instead of accept? ing the explanation as satisfactory, the people view the operation as simply una? dulterated stealing, and they will insist that both the thieves and their depart? ment protectors at Washington be brought to judgment. "Natural absorp? tion," indeed I If the defence be good, why may not every rogue plead it? , GOVERNOR SCOTT'S DELEGATES.-The Washington correspondent of the Now York TPorTd" says: To-day, Senators Robertson and Saw? yer accompanied D. H. Chamberlain, tbe Attornoy-Ganeral of South Carolina, and L. C. Carpenter to tho Exeoutive mansion, the two lost named having been delegated by the Governor of that State to visit the President on tho sub? ject of affording protection to the people in the upper part of South Carolina, near the North Carolina line. Mr. Chamberlain represented the condition of affairs in that section, and desired to know how long tho four companies of cavalry now on their way would JL..iaiu there, for ho said that if their sojourn were only for a brief period, it would do more harm than good. Tho Presidont listened patiently to the representations made by him, and assured these gentle? men that the troops should remain there long enough to restore peace and secure obedionco to the laws, even if they should bo thus employed during tho re? mainder of his administration. Tho gentlemen expressed themselves satis? fied, and will to-morrow leave for homo. When Senator Robertson was asked by tho delegation to uccompauy them, ho cheerfully consented, saying that as a representative of all classes in South Carolina, he would do anything iu his power to secure an audienco with tho President, and ho would render a liko service to all others who sought a re? medy for the grievances of which they complained. --? -? o- ? ONE HUNDRED STRONG.-Tho follow? ing information comes to us from Wash? ington: "The Democratic strength iu tho Houso will be inoreascd to .IUD members by tho gain in New Hampshire, and tho decision of the committee on election to? day is in favor of Edwards, Democrat, whoso seat was contested. Three moro are expected from the Connecticut olec tioD, two from California, and two from Texan, which will make the House stand at the next session, 13G Republicans to 107 Democrats. As there aro 24(> mem? bers, and a majority is 122, the Demo? crats will then only lack fifteen votes to control tho Houso. However, with their present uumber, which destroys tho two thirds rulo, and tho reinforcements tlioy uro constantly receiving from the Reve? nue Reform Republicans, they have thus far in the session carried every measure they have brought forward, and de? feated tho attempts of tho Radicals at extreme legislation." -?-??-? The New York Herald says, in its re? port of Congressional proceedings: "Mr. Robertson, (Republican,) of South Carolina, advocated general am? nesty, because ho wished to see pence i aud harmony restored to his country."

Tho Raleigh papers stato that so palpable was his guilt, from the evidence submit? ted, that in three of the articles ho was convicted with the aid of Radical Sena? tors: 1. That W. W. Holden did incite John Hunuicutt, and others, as bands of desperate, lawless and armed men, to seize, detain and deprive Josiah Turner, Jr., of his liberty, contrary to law. Vote-ayes 39; noes 12. 2. That W. W. Holden did procuro Colonel Kirk, Lieutenant Bergen, and other desperate persons, of his so-called militia, to assault, seize and imprison John Kerr, Samuel F. Hill, and other citizens of North Carolina, contrary to law. Vote-ayes 33; noes 10. 3. ThatW. W. Holden recruited armed men without authority of law, nuder Kirk, and illegdly arrested A. G. Moore, of the County of Alamance, and refused to recognize, on his behalf, by ai ms and force, the writ of habeas corpus, issued by the Chief Justice of the State. Vote -ayes 4.0; noes 9. 4. That W. W. Holden did, by an armed and illegal force, arrest nineteen citizens of Caswell County, and direct Kirk to hold them as prisoners, in do fiunce of tho writs of habeas corpus issued by the Chief Justice of the State. Vote -ayes 41 ; noes 8. 5. ThatW. W. Holden did incarcerate Josiah Turner, Jr., a citizen of North Carolina, without warrant of law, and did also, under his authority, direct Kirk, and others, to hang by tho neck Patton, Murray, and other citizeus of North Carolina, then being in the peace of the State, and did, from tho public treasury of the people, appropriate largo sums of mouey to maintain his armed and illegal force. Vote-aye? 30; noes 13. G. That W. W. Holdeu did, unlaw? fully, appropriate largo sums of money from tho public treasury, and did cause tho Treasurer of the Stute, a sworn pub? lic officer, to disregard and destroy thc injunction granted by tho courts of thc State, restraining him from using tho State funds to maintain his armed and illegal forco. Vote-ayes 3G; noes 13, ADIAHOLICAL PLOT.-Wo have it from more than one authority that a number of colored people have threatened to murder Jim Hardy, one of the colored witnesses who testified against tho mur? derers of Matt Stovern!. Tho plot is to perpetrate the infernal deed in such a manner and at such a time ns to make it appear that tho Ku Klux did it. We havo reason to bolieve that the report is true, and we are assured that a witness oan bo produced who ovorheard a con? versation between some colored men, in which tho plot was disclosed. Charley Near, another colored witness in the trial, has left tho State under tho belief that his life was not secure with his own race here. It is suoh terror over the well-disposed colored people that often compels thom to commit, or assist in committing, acts of outrage, and prevents many from ex? posing such acts. - Union Times.

THE EXPRESS SALE.-Yestorday, our citizens enjoyed a rare frolic, and many an unfortunate wight was heartily laughed at, whilo not a few individuals secured genuine bargains. Among tho latter was a prominent grocer, who, by an outlay of $1.75, secured a box con? taining fully $100 worth of silver-ware the premiums of tho Abbeville Agricul? tural Society. A butcher became the fortunato possessor of a trunk contain? ing two suits of broadcloth, a pistol, several trinkets, and ii check for nearly S100-all for $G. A druggist, by invest? ing ?3, bocamo the possessor of several handsome pipos. A case, carefully screwed lip, and directed to Gov. Scott, was looked upon as a sort of infernal machine, and was carefully avoided for a while, but fiually a member of his Ex? cellency's official household mustered up courage and invested a V, and was re? warded by finding a metal gauge, worth fully $20. A huckster invested in what was thought to be a box of candy, but upon examination it was found to con? tain a number of oysters in the shell, but tho smell was out-that is to say, pretty thoroughly distributed among the assemblage, causing a demand for handkerchiefs and fumigants. Uostet ter's almanacs, insurance circulars, cir? cus bills, otc, were liberally distributed among tho crowd by disappointed pur? chasers, and, after all, accomplished the end desired by tho sendors. A vast amount of property was disposed of, and the Southern Express Company doubt? less realized the accrued oxponsos by tho transaction. MAIL ARRANGEMENTS.-Tho Northern mail opens at 3.30 P.

This washer is one" of those things that turn up onco in a century, and belongs nut to the ephemeral humbugs of tho day. It is permanent and staplo in its character, and fur tho purpose intendod it cannot bo superceded. All who soo it work Bay, "'Tis just the thing; it can't be beat."
