THE DAILY 'Let our Just Censure COLUMBIA, S. C., FRIDAY MORNING, AUGUST 18. 1871. VOL. VII-NO. I26? BY J. A. SELBY. A Black Man'? Views. Maj. M. R. Delany, a blaok man of Borne education and considerable inde? pendence, who ia now established in Charleston as a land agent, has publish? ed a letter to Fred. Douglass, containing a review of the condition of things poli? tical in South . Carolina, . which, he thinks, will also justly apply to nearly all, if not all, the reconstructed States of the South. We make some noteworthy extraotB from tho lotter: When the war ended, tho colored peo? ple of tho South had little knowledge of social and politic?! affairs, and had, of necessity, to accept such" lenders as pre? sented themselves. The firsteoof these were in the persons of various agencies; as school-teachers, (mostly women,) tho Christian Commission, colporteurs and agents of tho "Freedmen's Affairs," (not the Bureau,) who aided in directiog their social and domosticrelations. When re? construction commenced, political lead? ers were greatly required, but few to be bad. Southerners (the old masters) stu? diously opposed and refused to counte? nance reconstruction, and the freedmen were fearful and would, not have trusted them if they could have obtained their aid. Those who came with or followed the army, with .a very few native whites, were, the only available political element to be bad to icarry out the measures ol reconstruction. These were readily ac? cepted by the blacks (by this I include tho -entire colored people) and the fullesl eon?denoe reposed in them. Some wert or had been officers in the army, somt privates, Borne antlers, others peddler; and various tradesmen, others gamblen and even pick-pookets, "hangers on" anc "bummers." I am particularly speaking of tho whites.,. Among thean were mei of refinement, educated gentlemen, ant Bomo very good men; but a large part o those most active were of the lowes grade of Northern society-negro-hater at home-who could not have been eleot ed to any position of honor or trust Just such men os burnt down negr< orphan asylums and bung negro mon t< lamp-posts in the New York riot of 1863 In this review I intend to speak plainly call things by their right names, am look those) of whom I speak directly i: the face. The best and most competen men were chosen to fill the most impoi tant positions in State and local govern mont?, while the others readily ob taine snob places as required incumbents. Ir deed, there WAS scarcely one so incompt tent as'not to have been assigned som position of trust. Positioned in placea of power, prof and trust, tbey soon sought, by thc guile and deception known only to th magogues, under acceptable appellation of Yankee, Republican and Radical, t intrude themselves into the confident of the blacks, and place themselves r their head as leaders. So insidnousl did they do this, that it was not disc? vered by the few colored men of intel! gence wbo held places among them ti too lato to remedy the fatal evil. These demagogues laid the foundatic of their oareer upon a basis of the mo dangerous political heresy. Deceptioi lying, cheating, stealing, "whatever cc be done in politics is fair," and "to be is the doty in a political contest, no mo ter what means are used to effect it," a among the pernicious precepts of th moral infidelity. Jealous of the few intelligent colon men among them, they studiously soug to divide the blacks, by sowing the see of discord among them. This WAS faoi tated by prejudicing the ignorant agair tho intelligent. These men strove and vi each with tho other, regardless of co sequences, to place himself in the le of a community of blacks in both tte and couutry, which in time was red nc to little else than a rabble mob of dist der and confusion. Trained in theloagt as serfs to their masters, it became dc , gerous to opposo the teachings of tin men of mischief. Because, buying be recommended to their confidence at t commencement of reconstruction, th experience and knowledge in public rx and mutters were too limited to belit anything against them. A knowledge of this emboldened th men to a persistence in their course crime and corruption. Hence, ms otherwise good mon, both white n black, from age, inexperience or we noss, were induced to acoept the m etrous teachings and join with or foll the lead of these wretched impostt Their ?ole object being personal gt they oared little or nothing for put weal, t,bo interest of the State or peoj black or white, nor tho Republi cause, npon whiob they bad indecet imposed themselves. This is that wi controlled Charleston politics, i brought deserved defeat to the Repa cans in the recent municipal eleotion was just retribution to a set of unpri pied miscreants, rioting on tbe peor rights nnder the name of "Repablicai Honest, upright men of all purl white and black, no longer able to t it, determined to put down theabom bia thing-leading Republicans, ' bad beon standing aloof, taking an tive patt. Among other things, I taught the simple-minded people suffrage was inviolably secure, tho bl being in the majority, would always trol the affairs of Stato in tho So that tho fifteenth amendment bad lished color and complexion in United States, and tho people were all of one race. Thia bare-faced dp Hon was so instilled into tl em tb became dangerous, in many intim?e go into the conntry nod speak of ( in any manner whatever, without tht gry rejoinder: "Wo don't want to that; we are all one color now!" Thoa? ridiculous absurdities were tered by the demagogues the betti conceal theirown perfidy and keep tl selves in the best positions, as "Re licanism knows no race," tbey tang] Another imposition was that col peoplo did not require intelligent co] leaders; that tho Constitution had purged of color by a Radical Congress, aud to bo a Republican was all that was required to make a trne representative. That mental culturo and qualifications were only required by tho proud and ar? rogant; that ull who requested those ac? complishments wero enemies to both black and white; that raco representa? tion was making distinctions on account of race and color. By this means they opposed tho qualified men among the blacks, encouraged the ignorant and less qualified, that they might of necessity tako tho lead and ocoupy the best places in tbe party. These are plain, iudispnt ablo truths, which will not bo denied by any upright, intelligent Republican, black or white. Before the introduction of these men among - them, tbero never was a bettor population, rural or town, out of which to shape .a useful political element. Good-hearted, simple-minded, mostly uneducated, they were ready and will? ing to receive any instruction supposed for their own good, whioh they anxious? ly awaited and as eagerly Bought. And could they have had the advice of tho maturely intelligent, good and virtuous friends of humanity, such as was re? ceived and given by us during more than thirty years* toilsome battle for li? berty and right, tbero never could have been tho cause for the complaint against UH os a race, now in a measure justifiable. One most fruitful causo of misohief in the party aroso from tho. age and want of experience on the part of the good white men who assumed to lead in poli? tics-as well as ignorance in tho most of them-and the same maybe said of their colored .colleagues. For the most part, young men, wbero they possessed tho cultivated qualification, they were defi ci?nt in experience and knowledge in politics. To such an extent oro they misled, that they regularly trained themselves with firo-nrms and marched in companies to political meetings, frequently led by miserable white men. Menacing, threat? ening, abusing, quarrelling, confusion and frequently rioting, are common re? solta of this most disgraceful state of affairs under which we live, all in the name of Republicanism. The effect upon the pooplo is wonder? ful. From a polite, pleasant, agreeable, kindly common people, ever ready and obliging, there is now to bo met with au ill-mannerly, sullen, disagreeable, un? kind, disobliging populace, seemingly filled with hatred and ready for resent? ment. These changes in the character of the people must have been noticed by every intelligent observer, in contradis? tinction to their former excellent repu? tation. Formerly, they were proverbial for their politeness; latterly, they aro noticed for tho absence of it. These people aro despoiled of their natural characteristics, and shamefully demoral? ized by renegade intruders. The remainder of the letter is mainly devoted to mention of tho grievances under which the black major conceives that his race still labors, aud to the con? sideration of the most available remedies.

MANY a human being haB passed away, for whose death thero was no other rea? son than tiie neglect of kuuwn and indisput? ably provon means of euro. Those near and dear to family and friends aro sleeping tho dreamiest! slumber into which, had they calm? ly adopted UR, JOSEPH H. SCHKNCK'S SIMPLE TREATMENT, And availed themselves of his wonderful elli oaoious medicines, thoy would not have fallen. Dr. Schonck has, in his own caso, proved that wherever sufficient vitality romains, that vitality, by his medicines and his direction? for their uso, is quickened into healthful vigor. In this st atom ont there ia nothing presump? tuous. To the faith of tho invalid ia mado no representation that ls not a thousand times substantiated by living and visible works. Tho theory of tho euro by Dr. Schenck's me? dicine is as simple as it is unfailing. Its phi? losophy requires no argument. It is BolX-as Buring, Bolf-convincing. Tho Seaweod Tonic and Mandrake Pill? aro tho first two weapons with whi-h the citadel of the malady ia aBsailed. Two-thirds of tue oases of consumption originate in dyBpopBia and a functionally disordered livor. With this condition tho bronchial tubos "sympathize" with tho stomach. Thoy respond tr .ho m?r? bido action of the liver. Horo, then, comos tho culminating result, and tho Betting in, with all its distressing symptoms, of CONSUMPTION. Tho Mandrake Pills aro composed of ono of Dtaturo's noblest gifta-Hie Podophillum Fol tatum. They poasess all tho blood-aearch ing, alterative properties of calomel; hut, un ike calomel, thoy ?LEAVE NO STING BEHIND." Tho work of euro is now beginning. Tho, dilated and mucous deposits in the bowels ?nd in the alimentary canal aro ejected. The iver, liko a clock, is wound up. It arouses from its torpidity. Tho stomach acts respon? sively, and tho patient begins to fool that ho a getting, at last, A SUPPLY OP GOOD BLOOD. The Soawced Tonio, in conjunction with tho Pills, permeates and assimilates with thc food. Jhyliiication is now progressing without its previous tortures. Digestion becomes pain ess, and the euro is soon to bo at hand. There is no moro flatulence, no exacerbation if tho stomach. An appetito sots in. Now comos tho greatest Blood Purifier evor ret given by an indulgent father to Buffering nan. Sclienck's Pulmonic Syrup comes in to lerform its functions and to hasten and com? plete the cure. It enters at once upou its york. Nature cannot be cheated. It collecta ind ripens the impaired and diseased portions >f the InngB. In the form of gatherings, it impares them for expectoration, and lol in a rery idiort time, tho malady in vanquished, ho rotten throne thatitoccupied is renovated iud mado new, and tho patient, in all tho dig illy of regaiued vigor, atona forth to enjoy ,hei manhood or tho womanhood that was GIVEN UP AS LOST. Tho second thing is, Ibo patients must stay n swarm room until they get well; it in HI niifi impossible to prevent, taking cold when .hu lungs aro disoaSed, hut it must bo prc routed, or a euro cannot bo effected. Fresh dr and riding out, especially in this Bection if tho country in the fall and wilder season, iro all wrong. Physicians who recommend hut course loso their patients, if their lungs ire badly diseased, and yet, because thoy aro n the house, they must not sit down quiet; hey must walk about tho room as milch and LS fast as the strength will boar, to get up a rood circulation of blood. The patients mist keep ill good spirits-bo determined to ?ct well. This has a groat deal to do with tho appetite, and is tho great point to Rain. To despair of oure aftcrsuch evidence of ita )ossibility in tho worst casos, and morul cer ainty in all others, is sinful. Dr. Schenck's )creo:ial statement to the Faculty of his own :ure was in these modest words: "Mauy years ago 1 was in the last stages of 'onsumptionj confined lo my bed, and atone .imo my physicians thought that I could not ive a week; then, like a drowning mau catch ng at straws, I heard of and obtained tho j reparations which I now offer to tho public, tod they made a perfect cure of mc. lt teemed to mo that I could feel them pen?trate ny wholo system. They soon ripened tho natter in my lungs, and ? would epd up moro diana pint of offensivo yellow matter every norning for a long time. "As soon as that began to snbaido, my :ougb, fever, pain and night sweats all began o leave mo, and my appetite becamo so great .hat it was with difficulty that I could keon 'rom eating too much. I soon gained strength ind have growniin Ilea li ever since. "I was weighed shortly after my recovery," idded tho Doctor, "then looking like a mere skeleton; my weight waa only ninety-seven pounds; my present weight ia two huudrod iud twenty-five [225] pounds, and for years I lave enjoyed uninterrupted health." Dr. Stihenck has discontinued his profes? ional visits to New York and Boston. Ho or Iiis sou, Dr. J. H. Soheuok, Jr., Billi continue to seo patients at their office, No. 15 North Sixth street, Philadelphia, every Saturday rr o rn 9 A. M. to 3 P. M. Those who wish a | thorough examination with the Itespirometer will he charged (5. The Hcapirometer de? slares the exact condition of the lungs, and patients can readily learn whether they are un able or not. The directions for taking tho medicines aro idapted to thu intelligence even of a child. Follow these directions, and kind nature will flo tho roBt, excepting that in nome cases tho Mandrake Pills are to he taken in increased [loses; the three medicines need liri other ac? companiments than the implo instructions that accompany them: First create appetite. Of returning health hunger is the most wei comoisymptom. When it COUICH, SB it will some, let tho despaiiing at once bo of good cheer. Good blood at once follows, tho cough loosens, the night sweat is abated. In a short time both of those morbid symptoms urn gone forever. Dr. Schenck's medicines aro constantly kept in tcn'sof thouHauds of families. Aa a laxa? tivo or purgative, tho Mandrake Pills aro a standard preparation; while the Pulmonic Syrup, as a curer of coughs and colds, may ho regarded as a prophylacteriu against con? sumption in any of its forms.
