In another column will be found an abstract of Senator Robertson's remarks on this subject, to which refereuco hus been made. ? * ? ? Tho Charleston Republican, comment? ing upon Mr. Meniminger's proposition for a convention of tho people of this State, upproves of it upon tho ground that "a convention might easily correct many of our evils, and might, perohnnco, reach thc. seat of tho very worst of our diseases." Tho Chester correspondent of the Yorkvillo Enquirer s.iys: "A meeting of some of tho citizens of tho Couuty was held to-day, for tho purpose of appoint? ing a d?l?gation to go to Washington and represent tho true condition pf affairs here, abd the cause of the recent disturb? ance in this County. Tho meeting se? lected Hon. Samuel MeAlilv, General W. A. Walker and W. H. Brawley, Esq." SpeecU of Senator X. J. jHo&?r?con. We have published extracts from the speech of Senator Sawyer on the remov? al of political disabilities, delivered in the Senate' on the 21st inst. Senator Robertson followed Mr. Sawyer in the debate, and the subjoined extracts aro taken from the report of bis speech : The Senate having under conaidera tion the following amendment proposed by Mr. Sawyer: And "the bil) to relieve all persons en? gaged in the rebellion fi om the disabili? ty imposed by the fourteenth amend? ment to the Constitution, with certain exceptions," Mr. Robertson said: MR. PRESIDENT: Theamendmentoffer? ed by my colleague is to include in the resolution the bill introduced by me originally, and now before tho Senate. This bill proposes to relieve the disabili? ties of nil persons involved in the rebel? lion except three o hisses: 1st. All persons who being members of the Congress of the United States with? drew from their scats and aided the re? bellion. 2d. AU persons who being officers of the army or navy of tho United Stater, and being above the age of tve >ty-oi e years, left said army or navy and aided the rebellion. 3d. All persons who being members of State conventions which ndopted pre? tended ordiuuuees of secession voted in favor of tho adoption of such ordi? nances. Mr. President, the third section ef tho fourteenth nmeudment of tho Constitu? tion of the United States exoludes from State or Federal office all persons who participated in tho rebellion who bad hold nuy office, Stute >r Federal, which required tho taking of nu oath to sup? port the Constitution of tho United States. The fourteenth amendment was originated by Congress in June, 18G6, shortly after the termination of tho war growing out of secession, and before the rebellion was proclaimed by tho authori? ties of the United States to have termi? nated, which termination was not pro? nounced to have oocurred until the 20th day of August, 1866. Tho fourteenth amondment repre? sented the then existing state of public sentiment of the people of the United States. The passions agituted by the great struggle through which tho country bad passed had not then subsided. Even nt that early day, it was deemed proper to graut amnesty to the greater part of the persons engaged in the rebel? lion. This was done by tho fourteenth amendment, in reserving from amnesty a certain class-those who had takeu nn oath of office to support the Constitution of the Uuited States. All others engaged iu the rebellion were, by necessary im? plication, fully pardoned. We may say, then, in general terms, that the vast majority of persons engaged in tho rebel? lion wero pardoned by tho fourteenth amendment. The fourteenth amend? ment was, then, au act of grace and par? don. It is true, it excluded from this grace anil pardon a certain class of per? sons; but, eveu as to them, it did not make their exclusion from pardon per? petual. On the contrary, it gave Con? gress power to relieve all disabilities. The fourteenth amendment teaches the lesson of forgiveness, for it pardoned far more persons than it proscribed, and the proscription of soma was perpetual, but subject to the discretion of Congress. When the fourteenth ameudmeut was originated, it was not deemed prudent to pardon all persons engaged in the rebel? lion. It was necessary to draw the lino of distiuction between those who were not pardoned. lu drawing this line, it bad to bo done in a general way. It was done by excluding from pardon all who participated in tho rebellion and bad taken tho oath to support tho Constitu? tion. This, perhaps, was as good a line of geueral division, between those to be pardoued and thoso who were not to bo pardoned, as could have been devised. But it was merely au arbitrary line; and many persons who deserved purdon were excluded from pardon by it, and many persons more to blame than some of thoso excluded from purdon were par? doued. Tho fourteenth amendment did not, ns regards individuals, dispenso exact jus? tice; indeed, it did not profess to do se. Many were embraced iii the disfranchise? ment announced by tho fourteenth amendment who woro us little deserving of proscription as could well bo ima? gined, uud many of tho more intense secessionists were pardoned by the fourteenth amendment. We cannot con? sider tho fourteenth amendment, then, as ti rule of perfect justice. Many of the most iuuoccut were punished by it, many of tho most guilty absolved. Thurn is nothing, then, iu thu justice dispensed by the fourteenth nmeudment to muke us cherish it in an especial man? ner. If I consult my own judgment, I would say puss au act of universal am? nesty with u few individual exceptions; hut ns I wish to attain a practical result, j I have, in deference to what. I tako to be thu opinion of Congress, excluded from my proposed bill of amnesty ull persons who left Congress, tho army or navy of tho Uuited States, and all persons who were members of State conventions that adopted pretended ordinances of seces? sion, and voted for such ordinances and afterward joined tho rebellion. With tho exception of these three classes I propose universal amnesty. My reasons for thus giving amnesty uro briefly these: I wish to restore peace, good feeling anti harmony to the ena u try. I have always been devotedly attached to the Union of tho Slates. I have always seen iii the flag of my country tho symbol of hope' to mankind. Upon tho success of our U-overument depends, ns I believe, the futo of liberty. ***** I know that the fourteenth ameudmeut j is considered by many at the South as a | grievance. I propose to remove this grievance, at least, in part. Tho ten? dency of this removal cannot but bo good; it is a step toward harmony aud conciliation. Tho experience of Eng- I land in regard to Ireland admonishes me of the importance of removing all grievances. The union between Eng? land and Ireland has never been cordial; the Irish people have always supposed they were hardly dealt with by the British Government, and after long ex? perience of the inefficiency of a repres? sive policy in regard to Ireland, the Britisn Government bas become satisfied of the necessity of a policy of concilia? tion. My idea is jo profit by the expe? rience of Great mumu in regard to Ireland, and enter upon a policy of con? ciliation and harmony nt once. Let us exhaust conciliation. If that fails, then other means will remain to us; but let as exhanst conciliation first. * * * * While amnesty will tend to produce a good feeling South in regard to the Federal Government, it will also tend to ncoomplish another most desirable re? sult-it will tend to greater harmony between the two races Sooth. No one can be more kindly disposed to our colored population than I am; no ono more ardently desires tbeir prosperity, their happiness and advancement. I nm deoply impressed with the conviction th jit their happiness largely depends upon tho harmony between them and the whites among whom they live. As n sincero friend to our colored citizens, I earnestly desire to seo eutiro harmony between the two races. Ono strong reason, then, with me for favoring amnesty is th it 1 think it will have a good effect on tho relations of tho two races South. By the operation of tho fourteenth amendment,n portion of tho whites South (one of the most intel? ligent portions,) is disqualified to hold office, while the colored citizens aro all free from such disqualification. Thus, practically, at tho South, tho colored fioople appear to be more favored by our ogislntion tbau tho whites. Thin, of course, produces dissntisfactiou, and tends to tho alienation of the two races! AB a frieud to tho colored raco, then, I wish to seo the whites allowed every right tho colored race enjoys, and this cannot bo without amnesty. I know this amnesty will bo hailed with pleasure by the colored race. Thoir generous aud forgiving natures causo them to wish to seo tho whites ns freo as themselves; und, ns I have boon an earnest advocate for tho colored mau to enjoy every right before tho law, so I equally desire, now, to soo tho whites ?nfranohised. * * * * lu conclusion, Mr. President, I am Natisfied that tho passage of this amnesty bill will do moro to restore pcaco and harmony in tho South tbau any coercive law that cnn bo passed at this hessian of Congress. Therefore, I most respect? fully and earnestly recommend the pas? sage of this bill. Ls TIII; WAH ENDED?-A Radical editor in Mississippi propounded the following query to W. H. McArdlo, the well known editor of the Vicksburg Herald: "Has tho war ended? If so, why do yon still thirst for further bloodshed?" To this, McArdle replies: "We aro by no means sure that 'tho war' lats 'ended!' When tho Confed?rate armies surrendered tbeir arms, in 1865, we thought old 'grim-visaged' had 'smoothed his wrinkled front,' arid that whito-wiuged peuce would smile over all tho lino. When thososhoiikler-atrapped ruffians, Ord, Popo, Sheridan, Meade und Sickles, ruled tho South with the bayonet, and arrested and tried peaceful citizens by military commission, we thought it just possible that we were mistaken-that, perhaps, tho enemy was still firing along a portion of tho Hue. When that wretched caitiff, General Ord, imprisoned the writer, in a cell six feet by four, because ho dcuonuced bim for what ho icos and is-a 'brutal and cowardly ruffiau'-wo felt quite sure that 'the war* was not 'ended.' We did not then, nor do wo now, 'thirst for further bloodshed,' but if tho thieves in the Legislature insist ^u robbing tho people of thirty million of dollars to pay the repudiated bonds, wo stand pledged to help hang the robbers." A DETERMINED VOTER.-A New Hamp? shire paper tells of a gallant Democrat of that Stuto who deserves to bo immor? talized. It says: "On tho evening bc foro election, Mr. John W. Lyon, cf Bath, a brakeman on the Montreal load, expecting to turn back at Well's River, found himself compelled to go on to Plymouth, where bo arrived at 8o'clock. Hud ho accepted the situation ho would have been uuublo to get borne in time to vote; bHt ho didn't. Without stopping for a cold bite even, Mr. L. got a bund car and, by clear muscio, propelled him? self over forty-eight miles of track, part of it on an ascending grado of eighty five feet to tho mile, till he reached homo at 1.30 o'clock. Ou learning tho facts, bis friends turned out of their beds and guvo him a hot oyster supper, and thut day ono moro ballot for James A. Weston was the rosult of the indomitable energy, muscio and determination exhibited by Mr. Lyon. It is this spirit that has carried our party through years of de? feat to final victory. Parson Cain, ono of tho most influen? tial leaders of bia raco in tho State, joins in tho desertion of tho colored auxilia? ries from the Radical camp. "Intelli? gence," ho doclures in the Missionary Record, at Charleston, "will rulo tho world. Curso and brand it ns you may, there is a power in intellect and iutegrity that nothing can overcome, and thc only question is whether tho ignorant and corrupt shull still have preferment, aDd tho people quietly submit to bo ruled by stupidity." SUDDEN DEATH.-On Saturday lust, a > olorcd man, by tho nama of Green Till? man, belter known tis Green Lindsay, was found on the roadside, about two miles from the village, nud only a short distance from his home, lying in n speechless and helpless condition. That night, he died. Green was a polilo und well-disposed mun, and hud many friends, both white and colored. [ Edgefield Advertiser. JO* ca? o ct, X Ito m m .
