C?LUjMBLA^ 8v C. Thursiay Morning. March 30. 1871. ..Tlie Bin ni lc or Republican!*!*!.** ID his speech upon "the removal of political disabilities," Senator Sawyer made some very admirable points showing that he can lift himself above the pre j ii dices of party to the heights of impartial truth. Referring to the gnilty members of the party who have really made themselves amenable to the charges made against them, of corrup? tion and general mal-administratioD, he says: "Acts of Congress will not make men good Chr.stiaus; but the moral iufluence of the Republicun party can bo brought to boar in ooudemuatiou of every species of dishonesty which marks the official course of men placed in office by Repub? lican votos. That influence should mark with the brand of infamy those unwor? thy members who clonk personal greed, official corruption and general immorali? ty, under tho mantle of Republican principles." Senator Sawyer here hits tho mark. It was tho remark of Madam Roland, "Oh, Lin EUT Y ! how many crimes have been commicted in thy name." Well may we consider Ibo thought applicable to "Republicanism." This is the mantle that has been used to cover much ras cality in these parts. But, not content with this covering, the publio thieves and robbers of the South are seeking ad? ditional protection. Opposition, on the part of good citizens, to their sohemes of plunder and ruin, is now called "re? bellion," and it is the effort of every dis? honest official to throw around his quak? ing person the ample folds of tho United States flag. Let the good men of tbe land, let those who desire to seo tbat flag roapected, see to it that it is not pervert? ed to such a vile purpose. ELECTIONS NEXT MONTH.-Elections will take place during the coming month in Connecticut and Rhode Island. On Monday, April 30, iu Connecticut, a Go? vernor and other State officers and mem? bers of Congress will be chosen, and on Wednesday, April 5, in Rhode Island, State officers and members of the Legis? lature will be voted for.. In Connecti? cut, the Republican candidates for the principal positions aro, Marnhull Jewell for Governor, and Julius L. Strong, Stephen W. Kellogg, Henry H. Stark? weather and Georgo Coffing for Con? gress, the first three having been mem? bers of Ibo forty-first Congress. The Democratic candidates are James E. English, for re-election as Governor, and Alfred R. Goodrich, John Kendrick, John W. Stodman and William H. Bar? num for Congress, the last named gen? tleman having been a member of the forty-first Congress. In Rhode Island, Soth Padelford, tho present incumbent, is the Republican, and Thomas Steen is thc Democratic candidate for Governor. WHY WAS IT?-There is ono remark? able fact connected with tho San Do? mingo expedition which the public of the United States would be glad to have explained. It is that our commissioners refused to see Cabrai, the opponent of Baez, and get his side of the question. They got all their information from tho Baez party, and consequently it is obliged to be one-sided and unsatisfac? tory. Mr. Wade tries to explain it by saying that Cabial is "a mero chicken thief," und ho desired to have no com? munication with him. How docs he know this except from Ibo reports of Cabral's enemies? Wo doubt if there are many people in San Domiugo who would not steal chickens if they have n chance-it is a failure of tho race-and no doubt Baez has stolon quite as many in his day as Cabrai, but tho former is a marvelously proper man. Ho is in a position to make a treaty-that's thc difference in his favor. -? ? ? WiiorrEits.-lu the debute in tho Se? nate, on tho Ku Klux question lasl Tuesday, Amos, bnyonot Senator froio Mississippi, stated that ovor 800 Repub? licans had been murdered in Louiuiuuo within tho last sixty days. Pool said that from 30.000 to 35,000 white mci] voled tho Ropublican ticket in North Carolina last fall. But tho notorious Morton capped tho climax of falsehoods by stating that 50,000 murders had been oomioittcd in the South sinco tho war, What a sud spectacle is presented to thc country when such astounding false hoods are gravely uttered in tho Senate a body once honored by the presence ol Webster, Macon, Clay, Calhoun, Ran dolph aud Berrico 1 --4 4^^. -- . A difficulty occurred at thc racecourse iu Charleston, on tho 21th, bctwe.ei S imo colored mon and Mr. Thomas Pin ley. Pistols were drawn, and Mir. P was dangerously wounded. Frank Ma son and William Darrell have boen ar rested. A wretched man, in Now Orleans, dis covered that ho hud been making love ti his mother-in-law, at a masquerade, nn<. went mad with rage and shume. Ta Ibe Missionary Record Parson Cain, alluding to the election of a Mayor in Gbe-rleston, naya: -, "Let Overy ipter?st- have representa, Hon iu the selection; nnd lot them un ito for ono groat purpose, namely, tho pros? pe ri ty of tho city nnd . th? wo! faro Ol tue w?iol? commun ty. -We koow that there will be tho te who will raise the howl of 'sold ouf,' and gone over to the Demooraoy. We say here that we would rather havo au honest Democrat io offiue tban Republican thieves, who suck the life blood from the community, and augment the taxation to an enormous exteut. Every poor man suffers more than tbe wealthy uuder bad rule. The burden of taxation is borne by them, hence they are more deeply iu teiested for their families than eveu the rich. Placo able and cnpablo men iu office and thoir very positions and wealth precludes their stealing iu order to muke a living. Give us honesty tu rolo us and wo care not for its politics." Alluding to "the necessity of couusol among colored mon," ho says: "Wo havo urged this as a means of bringing about a better statu of feeling in this t? tr. to between thc Tarions classes, uud wo assert that until some measure of this kind is adopted by the colored peo? ple themselves, tbero will be no pence in this Stute. Let the colored men have their council. Governor Scott did not usk thom to bis council because they were not considered competent. Now let them riso up aud show themselves adequate to the emergency of shaping a policy which will bring peace to thiR .State ana givo assurance to tho world that they are capable. All the friends in Congress, nor uli the Federul bayonets can do as much to bring ponce to this State as a gathering of tbe colored peo? ple by their representative men, who will give assurance to their neighbors and the world that they will have peace by peaoeuble measure? und an agreement of the people themselves. Tho prcseut administration has exhausted its ubility to protect you and to secure thut which is necessary. The Legislature has proved a failure, so far as its power fer your security and good government is concerned. Your advisers who led you are impotent to extricate you from your danger. Now let the people riBe up by demanding that they shull be beard on tho momentous questions of peace and prosperity." -,- t> The Baltimore Sun, considering the condition of this State, remarks: "Now, a thorough examin?t iou of tbe state of tbiugs in South Carolina will satisfy any one that it is not even the odious political grievances inflicted upon the people of which the whites so much oompluiu as the corrupt and unjust Stute legislation, unprecedented iu venality and oppressiveness, by which the last dollar has been filched from the pockets of the people, and millions added to the debt of the State, amidst corruption aud dishouesty. It is not so muob 'taxation without representation,' contrary as that is to every principle of republicanism and sentiment of justice, as that taxation is exercised in the wildest extravagance, and to fill the pockets of udveuturers. It is true that the Governor, as well as some of his friends, now having interests ut stake, has exerted himself latterly in cheeking somewhat the saturnalia of corrupt expenditure. But it is rather late. With a reduced price of cotton this year, ?caving the plaoteis unable to do more than pay expenses, and subject besides to thieving and depredation upon their farms to an extent never known be? fore, they aro called upon to pay tuxes so enormous that they amount to down? right confiscation." It adds: "Tho burthen of tho wholj press of the State is the terrific taxation and the reckless waste. Thoir 'political disabili? ties' seem to be a matter of subordinate consideration, except that by reason of them they are powerless victims of legis? lative robbery and plunder. There ie no doubt that ou this subject their exaspe? ration is grcnt, ns it would be anywhere, even iu New England, if thus despoiled of its property. Ia South Carolina, and in other Southern States, ono of thu chief obstacles to real reconstruction is thc wanton exercise of Stato legislation by irresponsible adventurers, aud thoir malign inilucucc upon the more ignorant membership of thu legislativo bodies for their own personal emolument and og grandizemeut. This isthe prolific foun? tain of evil, and its disastrous results can only be avoided whon the intelli? gence und virtue of any community aro permitted to control its own ufTairs." ROMANTIC SDICIDE.-Miss Mary Jane Lovell, a beautiful yoting womun, who for some years past has been the mis? tress of John S. Bluckbnrn, a pork mer chaut of Greenfield, Ohio, committed suicide ou tho 22d instant, near that place, by tukiug poison. Blackburn is u man of family, forty-live years of age, uud his intimacy with tho young woman had created such scandal among their re? spective friends that it is said thoy both determined upon suicide. They provid? ed themselves with poison, and having arrayed themsolvod neatly, drovo otu eight miles from Greenfield, nnd wont into a wild wood called Cliff Run. Tho young woman swallowed her share of the poisou and died. Blackburn's heart tnis gavo him and ho returned to tho town uud informed tho young woman's friends of the circumstances, aud thoy proceeded to the spot lind found her body. Black? burn, it is stated, has become hopelessly insane. AxoTiiisit NEGRO OUTIUKIK.-Wc karn that, ou Sunday last, Mr. Gates, tho pro? prietor of tho Magnolia Omnibus LiuO, waa attacked oil tho shell road by a party of niuo negroes, Mr. Cutes muden man? ful resistance, but was terribly beaten.
