Oar ootomporafy of the Charleston News, in view pf the obvious difficulties connected witu any. eau ir? io restrict caf, fr?go in this oonntry, suggests minority orv>prppor'tiqptii representation OB" fur niahirig the desired^ cheek upon an irre aponaihlo .majority. This prinoiple of voting wo have' already explained and commended iii these oolumns. The sug? gestion of the News, that it may be ap^ plied to palliate the evils of our situai tion, at this period, is not ill-timed. Wo aro satisfied that proportional ropreson t?tiob '?ip a wise system, and that n?fc only here buti oise whore in the oonntry it should always bo linked, with unlimited suffrage. This and this alone will make ?uoh auifrago consistent with the public welfare. Wo do not affirm that tho ap? plication of the principi? of minority representation would alone redeom the State, but there con bo no doubt that it would* materially correct,many of the evils incident to mere majority rule. a .-:- * ???? It is tolerably well established that Hov. English ia elected in Connecticut, ?vhicU roault shows a largo Democratic gain1 from last year; and, as evidence that tho movement against Radicalism is not going backward, wo have the Demo? cratic victories in MiBRouri and Michi fift^V - ipQ'rfl.f an<l Woy no Couuty have gone largely Democratic, and re turnsifram tho State, so far. as received, show extensive gains on tho same Bide, ?ho cities ' have mostly elected Demo? cratic mayors, and the result, ns a whole, is ? highly' encouraging, following so swiftly apon the footsteps of New Hamp? shire and Connecticut. The St. Louis eic*tion"baa on "unusual national signifi? cance. -The Radicals made the issue on national questions. The leading party organ claimed that victory at this time meant success next year, and that failure would ' 'bave the contrary and disastronB effect." . On this platform they put their host mon, and met with an utter defeat, wh'loK, according to their own admission, is a defeat of i the national Republican party- in the State. Radicalism has mied ia Ht. Doma'for eight years with unchallenged power, and this result is greatly significant. V' ?-> i..OARFET-BAQOEBS vs. SoALAWAiis.-The present editor of the Washington Chroni? cle \a& Northern . roan, who came South after-toe war,' abd published a Republi? can paper in South Carob un, from whence he removed to take oharge of the Chronicle. He doubtless learned a great deal while in the Palmetto State about the.native politicians, and thus dofends the carpot-bag fraternity-of which he tras o??-by contrasting thom with the native-born. ItadiuaK whom he. handles witllout gl?ve?l W "Because some infamous scamps huve come to tho surface in the political re construction of the South, and a few of them aro Northern mon, the total rascali? ty of the new governments, indefinitely exaggerated, is heaped on the heads of '..oar pet-baggers.* ."The fuct is, that among the meanest and the worst of soon nd re la i u pnblio life in all thu Southern otates are native-bom Southern men. For this we can vouch in North Carolina and iu South Caroli? na. We aver it, ton, from personal knowledge and with personal abhorrence. Wc know the men and despise them." .There uow! What have our patriotic fellow-citizens, sometimes denominated "scalawags," to say to that? Will they not resent the insult thns offered them, ? i'VitV J'i^'c-" ' t . ti' i by declaring .war upon tho carpet bag? gers? "A GOOD DEAL SAID IN A FEW Wonna." The Norfolk Virginian well Bays: Senator Morton, in the debate on Mr. Sherman's Ku Klux resolution in the Sonate, oharged that the argument made by Senator Blair, of Missouri, "indi? cated that it was the purpose of the De? mocratic party to overthrow negro suf? frage; and th ?t they intended to make thia a teat iu tho next Presidential elec? tion^ . The honorable gentleman is wrong. ; Tho Democratic party does not intend tc ' make any such issue.

There are fioso who believe that the result of tho oommiittee's labors? provided they aro prosecuted j without- allowing . Secretary Boutwell to interfere, will bo a- bill which will cdt' down taxes tJ the extent of 875.000,000 por auuum. Some think we. oap afford -to dispense with $100, 000,000. The most moderate expect a rddnqtiob of at 1 jasfr$5p,000,000. Thore is reason to behove that the system of internal taxatioq will ho attacked mos-t vigorously, and that tho reductions will be mudd mainly 'in that quarter. The committee will.not begin its work until after tho 'fall elections. Of the effect upon Wall stroot speculations, tho New York Herald, of Thursday, says; "The first effects of tho resolution in? troduced by Senator Sherman, proposing a repeal of ali taxes sa re those necessary for the support of the Government, were witnessed .ia Wall street, yesterday, where tho speculative sentiment wus rendered buoyant iu anticipation of tho sweeping abolition of oil tho potty ou noyuncoa which tho internal revenue sys? tem imposes upon tho business of the street. The removal of taxes ou capital, on deposits oh interest, pu coupons, on stock certificates, on sales and ou all tho various items of Wall street transact ion?, will go n great way toward making the wheels of legitimate and sp?culative busiuess glide smoothly in that busy mart? The importuntj point, however, is the vast stimulus which the change will impart to trade in general. Tho hundred millions taken yearly from the profits of the people now will, when left with them, produce at least 810,000,000 annually, and expand their capacity fur producing more and moro, until in ten years tho national debt will be ouly a small fraction of the real weulth of the country." -?-??-? A G BAND SPECTACLE.-The Radicals had a grand pow wow in Washington one night lost week, the occasion being a serenade to Senator Oliver F. Morton, of Indiana.' Congressman Shanks, of that State, Senator1 Morton, Vice-Prosi dent Colfax, Col. Forney and several others made speeches. AU passed Mor? ton over lightly, and concentrated their batteries npon the President, who, ac? cording . to a gushing report, "sat apart with a modest smile lighting up hts manly features." Upon him they be? stowed all praise, to him they awarded all glory, through him the country was to he saved, and it was their duty (the people's) to vote for him in a solid body when he came before them for their suf? frages in 1872. Such was the tenor of all the speeches. And meanwhile, wo presume?, the President took all this bun? combe liko a votcrun, listened to bis praises with ull the grace of a diplomat, and heard his name cheered, all undis? turbed and without other manifestations of emotion than that "modest amil?' which lit up his manly features." Charm? ing spectacle for thinking men to con? template: tho Chief Magistrate of th? nation listening with serenest compla? cency to the fulsome compliments of his parasites while they bid frantically for tho suffrages with which to perpet?ale his reign. Charming spectacle, indeed, and instructive at least, if not charming. -?????? RENOUNCED.-D. C. Wolf, a leadiug Radical of Lancaster County, and eight others, are out in a card in the Ledger, in which they state "we believe that thu time has como when all good aud hourst. mon should join together and condemn these evils. In the past wo have alway? tried to act up to what we thought was right and best. Aud now, with all the facts before us, we come out openly, fairly and squarely, and denounce the present admiuisttation of the State Go? vernment. And nil of the good colored people in our neighborhood will join UH in this." PBOPOBED FIREMEN'S FESTIVAL IN MAY.

A Republican remedy is now of? fered by Dioutenant-Oovprnor Ransier. Docs tho editor of tho Union consider! this remedy beneath his notice, and in1 the same category with the Democratic prescriptions, so much ridiculed by him? Is he in favor of, or opposed to, a con? vention of tho citizens, regardless of rnco or color, to consider tho situation, and devise some remedy to reduce tuxa ation, put honest men in office, nud pro mote peace? Lieutenuut-Governor Hau? sier has, in my opinion, taken a step iu the right direction, and proposed thal most practical plan to restoro harmony, good government, low taxes, prosperity and peace. Should ho succeed in hts efforts, be will not only merit but rc oeive tho thanks of ul! good citizens, re? gardless of party. In conclusion, Mr. Editor, allow mo to again suggest to the Union to give ns his views of tho situation, and propose nomo practical plan to reined}' the evils which are known to exist by good men of all parties. RICHLAND. Tho New York World says, in refer? ence to tho attitude that .should bc as? sumed by the Democratic party: "Gen. Blair is a mau of judgment and -ugucity, nud does not advt.su the Demo? cratic party tu go into tho next election on the by-gone issue of negro suffrage. "We call attention to tho growth of Demooratio seutim?nt in this direct ion, because, as it is evident that the party will abandon tho n< gro suffrage it-sue, it is expedient to do it with decision and unanimity. The time has come when'it should be fully understood by the South that the Northern Democracy do not in? tend to fight thst buttle over again, aud that no Democratic victory iu the North will bear such a construe!ion. After thc splendid triumph in New Hampshire some of tho Southern journals seemed to entertain sncb hopes, and perhaps onr narrow escape from defeat in Connecti? cut was necessary to sober their judg? ment, and save them from a fatal delu? sion. Ou n wiso platform, constructed of living issues, wo can, with leusonuble effort, eleot our candidate for President. But we have no such superfluous strength that we cnn afford to moko mistakes. Tho party bas been so often defeated by au indiscreet plank in its platform as to justify considerable solicitude on the subject. If tho Republicans were per? mitted to make our platform for us, they would put iuto it tho very things whioh a few bliud or quixotic Democrats havo been recently advocating in tho Southern press. Wo protest against thc folly of doing just what our enemies wish us to do." Tho World, io unother article, furlhtr says : "Bliuk it and shirk it as you may, confuse it as you will by cloudy irrele? vance, tho real point ia whether tho De? mocratic party will attempt to abolish negro sn drape in tho Presidential cam? paign of 1872. When the question is thus nakedly put, not oven Cien. Blair, with all his intrepidity, cares to face it. Ho is too correct a judge of public opi? nion to entertain any hope that Hie Democratic p.-rty could win ou that is? sue. "Now, if we don't intond to jump into that bramble-bush, let us squarely say RC, and get tho full advantage of the disavowal. At all events, tho question must narrow itself down to this poi lit, and, instead of 'beatingabout the bush,' let us discuss it ou this its real basis. If the party has made up its mind to fling this Jonah into the sea, let us overboard with him at once, and then consult UH to bow we will afterwards navigate the ship." j K. K.

Mr. Klclrldgc oa tbe "Ku jgiftjf Klax" Bill. ??g?The ohargcte^o^hlsHegislatiou "is thus pithily and; spiritedly ?tated by the 'Democratic member from Illinois: \ "Dow ?B it tb?t the masses, having ja it calmed nod settled down utter tbe moat terrific and sanguinary struggle the world ever witnessed, are again to be lashed ioto passion sud furv? Sir, tbeie. is another declaration of war; yes, sir, I declare it ou my responsibility as a Rep? resentative of this House. Tbis bill t lis bill now before tbis Houso-is itself a declaration of war. I charge it here and now. It ie.it can be understood only as a declaration of war; a declara? tion of war by the Federal Government upon tho States and tbe State govern? ments; a declaration of war by tho Re? publican party, the minions of thcFude ral power, in tho interest of that party, against tho people of tho several States! That it is a revolutionary and warlike mensure, is too plain for denial. Gen? tlemen may explain it, palliate it, und upologize for it us they will, as they havo done, its provisions cannot be misundor atood. The pretence of crime, murder, pillage, outrage iu localities, will not do. These aro matters within the jurisdiction of the Status. To punish these, to sup? press these, to disposo of those porr>ou:t who commit these outrages, is a matter of State authority, belonging tn tho States before the Union was formed, and never surrendered to the Federal Go vern merit. Gentlemen pretend that tho power is to bu found or implied in the fact that the citizen bas rights, imuiuni? ties nod privileges, under the Constitu? tion of tho United States. If these ligbtB, privileges and immunities aro iu totfered with, or infringed upon, Con? gi ess may provide redress. Dy what au? thority, by what law warrnut aro the States to bo deprived of this jurisdic? tion? Under what Federal chai 1er can the jurisdiction of the States in cases of assault and battery, and the whole body of crimes, bo taken from them? The States themselves bavenover abandoned, surrendered or granted it away. Uuder this pretence tho States of this Uuiou j are to bo abolished, their most sacred rights aud jurisdiction to protect tho life, liberty aud properly of their citizens ure. to bo taken away. It is raouatrous! It is absolutely atrocioual I repeut it, sir, it ia absolutely a declaration of war, aud nothing elso can bo made of it. 'Thu President of thu United States is author? ized to take such measures ns bo may deem necessary by thc employment ot tue militia aud tbe land and the naval forces.' Ho may 'declare martial law.' Martial law! What is it? Gentlemen tell us there bas been a great deal ot cheap rhetoric spent on this term 'mai tial law.' It is a misnomer, sir. There is no such thing as martial law. Martial law is no law. It is martial power; it is war; it is the wur power. It ia the will of him who happens at tho moment tu bo iu command. It silences law and speaks because of its silence. It drives away tho civil luw. They cannot exist together. The ono excludes tho othei and takes its piuco. It is force; it if physical foVee; it is tbeforco of arms; il is war. It pleads necessity aud inaugu? rates despotism. Its mildest rulo ii tyranny. Disguise it as you will, tin President is authorized by this bill tc declare war. Of what avail is tbt hnf'Vus corpus iu tba presence, of martin law-of martial power? Thero is nc < ivil law and no civil administration. Aro wo, sir, to trust this great power ii ibo bauds of ono man? Some gentle man bas said that God noyer mada a mat in whose bands we could trust this power Sir, if Gen. Grant were tho greatest mai in the United States, nud I do not thiul be is; if ho were the wisest and best mai in the United States, and I do not thiul be is; if ho were tho purest patriot it the world, and I do not think bo is; i be wera a? pure iu heart, as just iu feel iug, as magnanimous in mind, us forgiv mg iu spirit, us tho gentleman from In diana, (Mr. Shanks,) or the gentlemat from Massachusetts, (Mr. Butler,} and ! certainly think bu is, I would not tres bim with that power. Sir, it is of sonn interest for us to know iu whoso baud power is placed; but ibe power propos?e by this bill should, iu my judgment never be conferred upon any ona. Mr Speaker, the quiet and order of the peo [ile of tho Southern States sineo the wa ended is the wonder of the world, nis tory furnishes no parallel. They hav< consented aud submitted to all that ba been required of thurn by the conqueror oveu to be ruled in some of tho States b; their former slaves. They hove done ui this in tho vain expectation that the; would bo met in tho samo spirit of for beuruueo. They havo not been so mot and to this fact I attribute most of tb troubles that now exist. Tho remedy in my judgment, is amnesty; full, free universal amnesty. Let tho peoplo o the States alone, lot them settle down ii quiet and peace, aud all will be well i'bero will be no moro outrages, no mor Ku Klux Klan, no more disregard of law I'lieu will peace and order again reign ii that beautiful country."
