' .i .'???.-??' - ?-. V;;11./; . !-? ' 1 ' 1871' i The recent hpcech of Senator Morton, in the United States Senate, in reply to Senator Blair, is significant ne showing ino ground upon? which the Radical party seeks to engage,in the next presi? dential contest. Mr. Morton is a leader in his party. His utterances ore, there? fore; fl?gges ti vo. In the speech referred to, .Mr* Morton stated that the great issues to be met in the next general can rose would tarn upon Southern affairs, inch as the repeal of the fifteenth Amendment, the abolition of negro suf? frage and kindred questions connected With;the subject of reconstruction. This is. tho end and aim of the Republican managers. They desire to invest South? ern' affairs with every possible promi? nence. : They seek to inflame the North? ern mind with exaggerated pictures of Southern disorders and thus to divert public attention from the important issues of free trade, civil service reform, national finances and other topics con? nected with the oivil affairs of the coun? try. Wo hope-that the Democratic party, both North and South, will see the point and not allow their opponents to forco an issue upon disadvantageous ground. . ;r x-0-?????.-; - England has grown so wearied of the trouble and expenso attendant upon governing her fancy colored colonies in tho W^est Indies, that it is now proposed to unite them under one con fd deration, as a preliminary to cutting loose from them altogether. At present, they con? stitute some hixteeu separate denomina? tions, each with its own distinct ma? chinery of government; and as all are of more or less expense, the proposed mea? sure is eminently economic. That the confederation will ever be anything else than a. mere farce, nobody imagines; still, it will afford England the much desired opportunity of getting rid of a troublesome and profitless annoyance. It looks not a little strange that at the very moment this measure was being brought forward ia the English Parlia? ment, General Grant was endeavoring to engineer his Dominican soheme through oiir Senate, tims forcing us into the very same error England is endeavoring to escape. The New York World, alluding to tho views of Governor Perry and General Kershaw, as given in these columns, in relation to our publia affairs, says, first, in reference to General Kershaw: Thia gentleman was, as stated, Chair? man of the Conservative Stato Commit? tee; last fall, and, in common with some other leadiog men throughout the State, prepared, at no little cost of obloquy, a platform accepting the situation- to the fullest extent. Negro suffrage, the fif? teenth amendment, equal rights, &o., were all conceded; and, on this declara? tion of principles, the blacks were in? vited to unite with tho whites to rescue the Stato from the carpet-bag hordes preying upon its vitals. "These conces? sions crud all overtures for peace," says General Kershaw, "were scornfully re J'ected by the colored people and thoir eaders.' They were armed and organ? ized iuto a black militia, stuffed the bal? lot-boxes, miscounted the votes, declared an overwhelming majority of blacks and white interloping vagabonds elected, and, with this majority, have pushed taxation to the verge of confiscation; while, emboldened by tho power render? ing thiu possible, murder, arson nnd pillage have stalked, nnrebuked by the authorities, throughout the land. Thus robbed and menaced, the whites have, in certain isolated cases, turned upon their assailants, but there has boen no snob Organization as the Ku Klux. "Class legislation," continues General Kershaw, ' should be repealed. Tax-payers ought to be seo a rod a representation in the Legislature adequate to their protection. Honest, capable and cornpetont men should be placed in office;" and thus only oan the monstrous power of evil in the present State Government be less? ened. ?.It is to be remarked of the gontlemen writing these communications, that ex Gov. Perry was a Union man in South Carolina at a time when it required the highest order of moral courage to oppose secession. In the Convention passing the ordinance, he stood ulmost alono in his, antagonism, and to what he says of the present condition of the State, no suspicionqan:. justly attach of o feeling hostile to th? SUC?083 of tho war for the integrity of the Union. Gen. Kershaw was u prominent officer in the Confede? rate1 army/and, as has been mentioned, carno out frankly last fall in favor of such . a platform na offered . the negroes of the State the fallest equality under the law. Information'from two such men, repre? senting originally diverse elements in South Carolina politics, but now one ae rogard.9 tho tyuo condition and needs ol tho Stato* comes with a weight about it that: makes it merit; the most respectful ^A??mmarxDhu.'rrlhe Pension Offiot ha3 discovered a mare's nest in the ar obi ves of tho late Confederate Govern me?n't*; Air old' petition Of some ladi?i and invalida ?asking: tho Confederate Oongyei^^d^??n?w. ;t WU? pensionaba* boon mado ,th?;ppc??ion of dropping ol the sign ere from tho .pension rolls of th? United States. - TH*,EWAN?XAII BEDIi?-trT?e.following protest waa presented and entered on tho journal of the Senate,' on' tho'7th' o? Mar oh: "We, the undersigned, membors of the Senate, protest againBt the passage of a bill entitled '& bill to create a debt of the State of South Carolina, to be known as tho sterling funded debt, tho same, or tho proceeds thereof, io be exclusively used in exchange for, or in payment of, tho existing public debt of the State,' for the following reasons: "1. Because to create any further debt at the preseut time is unwise and unne? cessary. "2. Because 'the existing debt of tho State' is unknown, and a oorreot know? ledge of it cannot bo obtained. "3. Because it is admitted by the champion of this bili, and its friends, that the financial managers named in its text are not the proper persons to bo clothed with such a fiscal trust. "4. Because it will inorease the burden of taxation, now already oppressive, and swell the aggregate of the interest on 'the existing' and 'tho sterling funded debt,' to the amount of $1,010,000, or at the rate of six mills per dollar per annum upon nil tho property of the State of South Carolina. "5. Because the agent or ageuts who are to negotiate and manage the proceeds of the sales of the $6,000,000 in sterling bonds for twonty years to come, are not required, in any way, to give security of any kind for the enormous trust confided to them. "G. Because the question of snob a largo indebtedness, viz: ?6,000,000 in gold, tho largest ever, at any one time, in tho history of the legislation of tho Stalo of South Carolina, authorized, should have been submitted to the quali? fied voters of the State for their approval or rejeotion before the General Assembly put it beyond their power to control. "7. Because the credit of tho State must be impaired as the column of its indebtedness is inorensed. "8. Because tho excessive taxation that is to follow this new oreatod debt will produco discontent and dissatisfac? tion throughout the whole State, and in? spire an opposition to the government that will disrupt the peace and increase the disorder now so throatoning and de? plored ia our communities. "B. F. WHITTEMORE, "E. E. DICKSON, "W. M HOLCOMBE, "JOHN WILSON, "G. W. DUVALL, "D. BIEMAN, "J. FOSTER." THOUGHTS FOR TAI?ERS.-There are proper times for talking, as well as pro? per themes for it. Men should take care not to talk much when their mouths are full, or when their heads are empty. In the former case, they nauseate"; in the latter one, they bore. Unless a man has something sensible to say, he cer? tainly had better be contented without saying it. A good listener is as bard to find os a good talker, and yet the knack of listening is easy of attainment. If ono only can contrive to look as though ono listens, one may often get tho credit of doing so. When a company of talkers aro thun? dering away, their thunder ought to be atteuded by a brilliant flash of silence on the part of some good listeners. Con? versation, when all talk is noise, is not conversation. When ladies talk together, their tongues move all at once, and no one ever stope to listen. This is why, among themselves, ladies talk such utter nonsense. But ladies eau talk sense when they have mon of sense to talk to, for then thoy take the troublo to say something worth answering. If every one keeps talking, nobody takes hoed of what anybody says, and nobody is, therefore, any wiser for their saying it. Remember, when you talk, that, very often, listening pleases more than talk? ing. By listening to a man, you pay him a great compliment, for you delicately indicate that what he says is worth your hearing. Moreover, though, by listen? ing y*m ma.Y bear unpleasant things, the occupation often saves yon from the chu?en of saying thom. Tn short, though it may seem anomalous to say it, ono of tho greatest charms of talking is to hold one's tongue well. The mau who holds his tongue in course of conversation will often give moro pleasure than tho man who merely uses it. A youngster, attending sohool in Pa ducah, bas written his mother the fol? lowing character ist io letter: DEAR MOTHER: I got another licking yesterday, but I bad on three pair o' pants, and it didn't hurt much. I was licked because I put six pins in Mr. -'s chair. I knew they would not stick him, and I made a bet that thoy would not. Mr.-was so mean aud bard that tho pins could not go in. I won the bet, which is a dog. Ho is a good dog, and I am training him to bite old "Hardsides," as we call him, somo night when be comes homo after dark. He is often out after dark, and if Zack is as good after him as ho is after cats, I won't get licked any moro. Zack and I killed three cats Sunday, though I was at Sunday-school and church nil day, aud it wasn't a good day for killing oats either. This makes tho third licking I Sot this week, One was because I had a ottle of milk in my room, and the other waa because I wrote a composition on negroes that old Hardsides didn't like. I said that a negro was a dark subject to write on; it waa like a dark African going down a dark collar, on a dark night, without a light, to look for a blook cat that was there. , .Old Hardsides stooped mo, and then Hoked rae for that. Send me some more of them pios; I made a good trade with some of them. .???.? Io a,briof temperance article, the other doy, a Western paper attempted to say something about "the chief point in the battle," but the perverse types got it "the chief point in the bottle." *? VI?LENOSMO REMEDY."-The follow lng '.paragraph is. from " tho, Abbeville ]Ban\i?rir: W \i ?I ,-:>?gl?;; I "We do not deuy thatthero aro causes, for disoontout. Tho grievances are. many aud great. Tho role of ignorance and the exclusion of intolllgonoo, high taxes and short incomes, corruption and profligacy in officials-these and many more, nil aggravated by the antipathies of race, are upon US, Ss? WO wiSu to say, emphatically, that, in our judgment, violence ia no remedy at all/or any of these grievances, Yiolenoe eau do no good, and will produce mischief, and mischief only. It is the only pabulum which can keep in offiae those who are the authors of what we complain. It will strengthen our enemies and wenken onr friends, by changing tbe issue from their enormities to these disturbances. It brings bad men to the surface, and enables outlaws to trna. It disturbs industry, and en? dangers property. In times of quiet, good men of all parlies exert their influ? ence; and in times of violence, ignorant, wicked blackguards rule." # % ? ROBBERT OF TUE COUNTS TREASURER'S OFFICE.-As is known to most of onr readers, the office of Mr. Li. H. Russell, the County Treasurer, was entered on Thursday night of tho past week, and money and County checks to the amount of $15,000 abstracted. Both the door of the office and tho safe wore opened with false keys, and wore found open on tho following morning. A package of money containing some $13,000 was overlooked by tho burglar, and was not tnken. Mr. Russell, with tho aid of Chief Constable Hubbard, and other officers of the law, is sparing no effort to discover the guilty parties. Chief Constable Hubbard offers a roward of $5,000 for the recovery of the money, with proof to convict, and Mr. Russell a reward of $500, with ten per cent, on the money recovered. [Abbeville Press and Danner. THE Cnors IN EUROPE.-The latest crop accounts from England (March 20) apeak of frost in exposed places, followed by a heavy snow storm, which checked vegetation, injured the young grass, and hindered field work, except upou tho highest lands. From Belgium, Holland and France there are unfavorable ac? counts of mischief done to tho crops by the remarkable fluctuations of March weather. Moat, being scarce on the con? tinent, is likely to advance in price, and this will stiffen the demand for bread stuffs, which are very firm, with indica? tions of a rising market. Russia alone seems to have a surplus, and she will be onr very formidable competitor in tho English and French markets. The Scientific American enys it is now "impossible to construct a burglar-proof safe; for the thief, with his cylinders of compressed hydrogen and oxygen, can in a few seconds burn holes of any size in the hardest motal-his fire-drill enabling him in a few minutes to work his way into the strongest safe that was over con? structed." GAS CONSUMERS Will please call and settlo their Billa for tho month of March. No continuance of Light unless paid. Their attention is called to the following resolution, passed at a meeting of tho Directors, on the Slat of March: Jiesolvrd, That, tho price beim; reduced to seven dollars, no consumer BbaU be furuiabed with Light beyond ono month unpaid; and that the Secrotary is hereby directed to hand bills of delinquents to the Superintendent, who shall remore tho metros from tho premi? sos immediately, ?nd prococd othcrwiso to collect thc billa.

April 7 Citizens of New York have taken a step in regard to the income tax whioh oogbt to bnvo 'been 'taken long ago. They havo determined to bring the ques? tion of the constitutionality of the tax to a judicial test.' For this purpose an anti-income tax association has been organized, with a permanent] board of officers, composed of some of the heavi- i est fax-payers and most respectable resi dent? of the city. . ANOTHER ANNEXATION SCHEME.-A re-1 solution was offered in the Senate on Tuesday looking to the acquisition of Lower California and a portion of Mexi- ! co. This is said to be a scheme long contemplated for making immense for? tunes for tho parties engaged in it, who are represented as having formed a large organization in connection with Mexican officials and other prominent men of that country. Monroe County sots aro sharp chaps. One took a two-gallon jug, put a gallon of water in it, and had tho liquor man pour a gallon of good whiskey on top. As ho couldn't pay, the liquor man took back his whiskey, nnd tho sot trium? phantly disappeared, with his remaining gallon of balf grog nod water as a clear make. A Mrs. Pickett, living iu Union, Con? necticut, was burned to death recently. Striking a match to light a fire, she was strangled by inhaling its fumes, nnd full? ing down almost insensibly, her clothes caught, and she was soon enveloped in fiamos. Kate Henderson, an eccentric woman, twenty-five years old, with a propensity for stealing rides on car-trucks, was killed at Chattanooga, in attempting to leavo the train just arriving, on the brukes of which she hud come from Dal? ton. Charleston, the new capital of West Virginia, is so situated that no railroad or telegraph approach it. The Governor has to travel seveuty miles by water and cross iuto another State to send a tele? gram to Wheeling. Mr. Boutwell has reduced tho public dobt so much that the annual interest upon it is now over $12,000,0110 less than it was two yean? ago. The country will thus save that large sum annually. A New York contemporary says thero are so many thieves in Now York that they propose to form a society to reform some of their number aud prevent their business being ruined. A great fire has dostroyed a largo part of Cronstodt, Russia. More thau 1,000 persons were left without a shelter.
