C )LUMBIA. 8, C. Thuriiay Horning, October 18.1871. ... ?. .= i Stirring up Strife-South Carolina Hadl csliiim-Tho Trao Spirit Ot itt* South arm Whltti. Oor attention has been called to an article which appeared, yesterday, in the Columbia Union, headed "The Conven? tion and the State Central Committee." Aa our readers are aware, we have not, as a general rule, chosen to take issue with thia paper upon tbs various matters it has again and again introduced which matters have been well calculated to provoke hostile oritioism. As much as we, io common with the more intelli? gent portion of this community, have had occasion, not unfreqnently, to con? demn its partisan utterances and its mis? representations of the spirit and conduct of a large portion of the white people of the State, wo have preferred to let it take ita way and work ita mission. We propose, on this occasion, at least, to review its statements, consider ita ani? mus and analyze its propositions. The article headed as above, first undertakes to call in question the action of the Radical State Central Committee of this State, with respect to ita connection with the "National Colored Convention," now in session in this city. With this, wu have nothing to do. About this, we oars not. In thia, the point made by the Union may or may not be well taken. We ehall leave it to fight this question with its Central Committee. Bot the Union does not stop here. In the article under consideration, it. goes on-this organ of South Carolina Radicalism-to express ita confidence in the fidelity of ?ho colored men to the Radical party. With thia, we have no complaint. The Union's confidence ia not, we presume, misplaced. The colored men of this State, and of the South, are, we believe, with few exceptions, bonnd hand and foot to the Juggernautio oar of Radical? ism. Few colored men they are who dare think for themselves. Their Radi? cal, carpet-bag masters think for them. Body slaves before, they are soul slaves now. Tho Union knows this. The Union knows how 'pliable the colored man becomes at the magio name of the ".great God and morality party" that freed him, and in whom only be can live and move and have his being! We are not, therefore, surprised at the confi? dence of the Union. It counts upon the colored man. It loves him, ohl how dearly. Il boliovea in him-at least, BO long as ho votes right, and thus keeps the Union and its friends in the green pastures and smooth-flowing brooks of official patronage. But let this pasa. WJ all understand thia. Let us, now, consider the points to whioh we more especially direct attention in tho Union's article on "the Convention and the State Central Committee." There ia in ses? sion in Columbia a body of colored men that is composed of delegates from all parts of the oountry. The Union sees its opportunity to arouse the antagonisms of race-to stir up strife between the whites and blacks-to breed mischief to foment prejudices. It bringa promi? nently forward those terrible terme, DEMOCRAT and Eu KLUX, and links them together, to make political capital, j. Read the incendiary language which we ex? tract: "Tho colored man gravitates toward the Republican party as naturally as the needle does toward the pole. It is the party whioh gave him bb freedom, which elevated him from the level of u brute, whither he bad been throat by his natural enemy-the Democratic party to the full plane of citizenship, ft mude a man of him; and put in his hand the only distinguishing mark of the Ameri? can oitizen--the ballot. It baa protected him, thas far, to the full extent of its power in the enjoyment of these inesti? mable privileges, even against the most powerful political combination that ever' existed-tbe Democratic party. Had that organization the power it would, this day, re-enslave the negro, degrade him to his former position of serfdom and rob him of every politioal right whioh he now enjoys. "Those who sit to-day in this conven? tion-the peera, politically, of tbe whitest Caucasian in the State-would be held as chattels, as so many horses, cows or hogs, to be sold to the highest bidder. There is no disguising this fact. Deny it as much as they may, it is their wish by day and their dream by night. There are placea to be found in thia State to-day where the negro, to all intents and purposes, ia aa much a slave as ever. And who keeps him in this oondition, the Republicans or the Democrats? Who drags him from bis bed at dead of night, hurries him off to some conveni? ent tree, there to be shot to death, bung or most terribly and brutally lacerated? Kn Klux; and Ku Klux are Democrats, although all Democrats are not Ku Klux. Who deprives him of his right to vote when be offers thia evidenoe of his citi? zenship at the ballot-box? Democrats. Who snot down peaceable and unoffend? ing colored men in the streets of Phila? delphia, and deliberately murdered Prof. Cato, an eminent acholar and a gentle? man, against whoso oharaoter there never had buen breathed even a suspicion? Democrats. Who murdered in cold blood, only a few months sinoo, Wade Perrin and Lewis Thompson, two colored preaohers? The Democratic party, through its Hub-organization, known aa tho Ku Klux." Does not language like thia folly justify our criticism? The Union knows that more than nine-tenths of the white people of South Carolina and of the Sooth aro "Do m ocra ta" in their sympa? thies and couviotiouB, and still it dares thus to misrepresent and vitlify the Democratic party and Democrats, and thus to offend the sensibilities of - the whites, and utterly to misrepresent their purposes and spirit. The Union, speaking of the Demo? cratic party, says: "Had that organiza? tion the power, it would this day re en? slave the negro, degrade him to his former position of serfdom, and rob him of every political right which he now enjoys." This, now, ?B a distinct allegation. We do not hesitate to pronounce it malicious, baseless and slanderous. This is not tbe animus ot Democrats generally, and the bold assumption of the Union is not sus? tained by any evidence that can be adduced. Again, the Union says: "There are places to be found in this State, to-day, where the negro, to all intents and purposes, is as much a slave as ever." We deny the proposition tu toto. Such a statement may well serve the Union's purpose, and be in keeping with its advocacy of mar? tial law for this ootraged so-cul lcd State; but it is not true. In no part of South Carolina is it the case that the colored man does not enjoy equal po? litical and legal rights with the whites. But this is not all. Read the extract above given, and it will be seen bow "Democrats" are saddled by the Union with all tho outrages, real or imaginary, j which may have befallen colored mon here and elsewhere. "And Kn Klux are Democrats"-"although all Democrats are not Ku Klux." Now, this we have to say to the Union: We do not say that "Radicals are public thieves and swindlers," but we do say that the proposition is a? true as that "Ku Klux are Democrats." We are not prepared to defend and vindicate "Kn Kluxism," whether practiced in South Carolina or Chioago; but we do affirm that the effort of the Union and its con federates to join "Democracy" and "Ku Kluxism" together in logical connection, is neither more nor less than the sug? gestion of a partisan purpose that sets at naught the promptings of truth and justice. Now, as respecta the miserable effort of the Union to fire the heart of this co? lored convention against Democrats, and, therefore, agninqt the whites of the South, we have this to remark: The white men of South Carolina and the South have uo favors to ask of this con? vention, or of the Union newspaper. Their destiny is in their own keeping. They hold their fate, under Qod, in their own strong hands. They keep i their faith in their own stout hearts. As to the colored people, the white men of the South-her native and adopted BOOB-Democrats though they generally ; be-wish them well. We desire to de , prive them of no legal and political pri? vilege that they now enjoy. And whilst we do object to their assuming the role of control and domination, we heartily bid them, in their proper sphere, God? speed, and trust that, as a people, they may speedily attain that elevation, civil? ization and refinement whioh God hu? ic store for them, as a portion of tho great human family. We are Democrats, us that term is po liticully construed. We are Democrats, however, aa respects our political viewi and our ideas of government, altogetlici outside of the negro. And such, we take it, is the caso with a large majority o: our political associates. When, then, any one is bold enough to take thc ground, that beoause a man is a Demo orat, he moat, therefore, be opposed tc a fair, just and liberal treatment of tlx odored man, we must take for adoptier the language of Marmion and say, "Lord Angus, thou haat lied." So Uncle Billy Seward has successfully accomplished the circumnavigation o the globe, and now looks upon Captain Cook, Kidd, and all the rest of the cir oumnavigators, aa younger brothers who cannot enter the lists of rivalshi] against him. The Boston Post, in no ticing tho return of Uncle Billy, grow eloquent. It desoribes him aa "browne? with the sun of India and grimy witl the dust of long marches. The sands o the desert rest in the folds of the kinkol turban which surmounts his wrinkle countenance, and his tongue is wilie than ever with the practice of Orients euphonie m a." The white elephant, th kinkob turban, the pet -monkey, am other wonders of the far East, brough back by Uncle Billy, are eipeoted to ex oite as mnoh wonder and admirations were wont, in war times, to attend th tinkle of his little bell. Occupation cures one-half of life' troubles and mitigates the other. Columbi*, and Obfcaga. We have read, with painful interest, of the great disaster which bas befallen the ' rieb and growing city of Chicago. (This community, like ..Other communi? ties in the land, is cot nnmindful of the Bufferings and bereavements of the peo? ple of Chicago. Indeed, there is, per? haps, no other ait; ic the United States where there has been a keener apprecia? tion of the fate of Cbiosgo than in Co? lombia. Many there are here and along tue Hoe of Sherman's march who have a bitter memory of barning towna, cities and farm houses. Many there aro here who know what it ia to be homeless and penniless-to be plunged, in a moment, into the waters of want and humiliation. But this is post. For this there may have been many in Chicago who were responsible. But not so was it with maoy others. But let this pass. "Ven goauoo IB mine-I will repay-saith the Lord." Let us now recognize the claim? of religion and the ties of a common humanity, and thoBO who can, let them stretoh forth the baud of help to the ; afflicted people of Chicago aud the j North-west. Here, we aro, as a general rule, poor. Having, not long since, I emerged from flameB kindred to those which lately passed over Chicago, most of us caa give scarcely more than our sympathies. But some there are who oan, doubtless, give more. Let these who cannot withhold their contribution?. I Thia may not be obligatory upon a com? munity like ours, bat it would be gone j rous sod magnanimous. It would he haman to withhold, but it is divino to forgive and give. We learn that the Masons of Colum? bia have ?out a donation to their bre? thren in Chicago. Thia ia well. Thur far Columbia has been silout. We can? not give muan, bat what our oitizent can give, should be given promptly and freely. I There is no truth whatever in the re port that tho Khedive of Egypt has dis missed the American officers serving ii his army. It was conjectured that thii step bad been taken not because Ismai Pacha was dissatisfied with the military abilities or fealty of onr martial country men, but to oonoiliate his notnureaaona bly jealous Suzerain, the Saltan o Tarkey; and it was predicted that th dismissal of the Americans would b followed by a material rednotion of th? forcea of Egypt. It ia now ascertained that the Khedive is as mach an ambition sovereign as ever he waa. He retain j his American generals, and does not re duce his troops a single man. Ni European sovereign can so well afford t maintain an army on a war footing o this dweller on the banks of old Nile He is richer than any one of his brothe > potentates in Europe, Asia or ?frico ' and forces from his hapless aubject taxes to the amount nf two-thirds of th products of hi? kingdom. This ia a sa state of affairs for the hapless Egyptian! but it enhanoes tho power of the groar ing and unscrupulous monarch. j THE LAST KENIAS FIZZLE. - "There i , but one step from the sublime to tho r (1 icu lou H," wo are told, but the Feniun j nevor get any farther, in their invasion of Canada, than the single paoe in quel ti o n.

One clergyman, at least, recognizes railroad accidents not "the mysterio Providence of God," bat the reokU carelessness of man. He is right. ANOTHER STET TOWASDS DESPOTISM.- 3 The eleotioDB took plaoe in the great States of Ohio and Pennsylvania on Tuesday. General Grant waited twenty- o four or thirty-six hours to learn the re? sulta of them, and then issued a p rocla- . mation whioh violates the Constitution of the United 9tates. (We do not ? charge him with perjnry, for the reason that the acimter is laoking. He does not 0 know what the Constitution is, nor when Q ho does-violate it.) He has invaded a State in defiance of that provision of the Constitution whioh makes it bia h duty to await the call of the local au- ? tho ri ties before using the Federal power in any State. He haa ordered the citi? zens of Sooth Carolina to surrender their 0 arms to his tools, thus trampling under b foot Article fifteenth of the amendments c to the Constitution, which provides that t] "tbe right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." He u bas as mnoh right to disarm all the mili? tary compacit? in Virginia, and to oom- f pel each man of them to deliver his L arms to Underwood's subordinates, as . be had to plaoe the people of Sooth Ca? rolina at the mercy of the negroes, for, ' of course, the negroes will be allowed to keep their arms. a If Grant chooses, he can be President ? for life, or King, or Emperor, or what? ever he would like to be. The Northprn 8 people wore utterly demoralized by ibe war. They never knew much about ( constitutions and laws, and even the lil tlu tboy once knew they seem to have for? gotten. They gave the Republicans a c new lease of power in two great States on Tuesday last, and Grant takes this i fact as evideuco that the people of those Slates, ano of the North generally, ap- . prove of thu usurpations of Congross, 1 uud wish him to enforce the unoonstitu- I tiooal laws poased by that body. He < eau not bo charged with having acted without that sort of warrant which justi? fied Napoleon in bis usurpations. The ' people consent by their votes to their ' own degradation; to the destruction of t tho Constitution; to the rooting out of j liberty and the defences of liberty; to the establishment of a military despo- ' tiem. They know, of course, no better ' than tho French did what they aro doing; i but that makes no difference. Napoleon bad his warrant. Grant has his. Let ?B nee if the latter has the pluck to benefit by his.-Richmond Dispatch. '.

O.) Journal. { Some idea of the fearful ravagea dur? ing the great fire of Chicago may bo entertained by comparing it with the other two greatest of fiery visitations in tho history of the world-those of Lon? don and Moscow. The great fire of Loudon covered 500 acres of ground, rendered homeless 200,000, and de? stroyed 13,000 houses. That of Moscow I) u ru ed ovor a space of 400 acres, and destroyed 12,000 houses. The great fire pf Chicago laid waste over 1,600 acres, upwards of 18,000 buildings, aud ren? dered abu ut 85,000 persons homeless. AH to pecuniary loss, no fire which has over occurred in tho world bas been at? tended with that suffered by Chicago, aa in no city wag there such an amount of valuablo merchandise or so many ex? pensive buildings destroyed. Most of the merchants had received their winter atock of goods, none of whioh they were aldo to save. The loss in merchandise alone ut this last conflagration will be double that suffered by London and Moscow combined. The latest touching ditty is a request to "Cut o if my curls with your scissors, mamma." If her curls are like tbe ma? jority of those worn by the ladies now a (lays, it will not be necessary to use the scissors. A gentle pull will remove thom. The Saturday Review, in speaking of costumes at churches, says tb<y dress ovor was, and will ever be, as webs spread in the way of woman's righteous? ness; no doubt Eve frilled her apron of fig-leaves before she had worn it a day."
