Ta? ?nimas of ?he Proceedings Aj?lm?
South Oarallnn-The Attack Upon
Wlharty.
The remark made by ex-Judge H?ge,
that be hoped the OU?ZO?B of tho up?
country would fire into the United States
troops, so that be and his crowd might
"fix" them-f ?Show them what hell is"
does?jin our. judgment, reveal the ani?
mus whioh lies St the bottom of Presi?
dent,Grant's military intervention in
South Carolina. It has been charitably
suggested that Mr. H?ge was in liquor
when ho made the remark. But this
will not dc - We give him whatever be?
nefit there is in the suggestion. We take
it that, as a general rule,,, a man is more
api' to be candid arid .truthful when''
drunk than when Bober. It is the cooli
sober man that says what he does not
mean, and means what he does not say.
It is the man "?ooBo of soul," and made
so by drink, ?hat cornea oat with the
thing that is on his mind. In vino veri
(as-r truth in vttne- is a truthful adage.
We trust, therefore, that the words used
by him will be held by the oountry,
however uttered, as revealing tho real
animus of the war upon South Carolina,
started by political adventurers and de?
magogues and carried on by the United
States Government. Even the Colom?
bia Union, the organ of Radicalism in
South Carolina, and a paper that has
hounded on the "dogs of war," repudi?
ates Mr. Hoge's words. Bat, th ia is
"thin," aye, very "thin." As the
Charleston N'eus has said, the Union has
itself exhibited the same animus revealed
in Mr. Hoge's words; sod the fact is that
Mr.* H?ge and the Union belong to the
same party-sail in the same boat-only
this, the Union is more of a "lean and
hungry Cassius." That is all. What,
then, is the origin of this military rule
in South Carolina? No doubt, it is part
of Gen. Grant's military programme for
the South-looking to the next Presi?
dential election. Bat this is not all.
We haye hero iu South Carolina, a: set
of political adventurers and tricksters,
who, BO far as their self-seeking purposes
are censer ned, aro '.
. "True as tho noodle to tho pole,
ti Qr as the dial to the san."
For political purposes-to advance
the pr o sp nota ot snob men as Messrs.
A. S. Wallace, H?ge. Worthington, el id
omne genus-was this war gotten op in
South Carolina. Monstrous outrage!
We denounoe itl But this is not a wai
noon South Carolina alone; the whole
oountry is interested in this question.
It is a war upon "personal liberty" also.
Does not. the country see how the time
honored and sacred bnlwark of habeas
corpus is violated in this Eu El ax mat?
ter? The New York World most ferai'
bly shows how the maxim, that he ic
whom a power is delegated cannot delegatt
(hat power in turn, is violated. The Con?
stitution says that the writ of luibeai
carpas maybe suspended by Con gre BJ
when rebellion or invasion do imperil
the pbblio safety. Now, what does Con
grew do? It delegates its power to thc
President, and makes so-oalled combina
tions and oonspiraoies to constitute re
hellion, and leaves it to the President tc
decide when said combinations and con?
spiracies shall bs decided to exist. (See
Act of Congross, approved April 20,
1871.) This is delegation of a delegated
power. Bat this is not all. Presidenl
Grant, in turn, delegates his power-ic
this, that he states in his proclamation
of the 17th of October, the saspensioi
of the-writ of habeas corpus is of fore?
"in respect to all persons arrested bj
the Marshal of the United States for thc
Slid district of South Carolina, or bj
any of bis deputies, or by any militar*
officer of the United States, or by anj
soldier or citizen acting under the ordei
of said Marshal, deputy, or such mili
tary officer." Most truly does the Nev
York World say:
"The Constitution delegates to Con
gress, and Congress to the President
and the President to the Marshal, anc
the Marsha! to his depotie?, and thi
commandant to his officers, and the of
floors to their meo, and the men and th<
deputies, finally, to the citizens at large
Never was there such a delegation anc
rc-delegation and delegation over again
and the power thus bandied about till i
comes to reside in' the hands of any dra
goon or negro in South Carolina, ia tb
pp wer to arrest any oitizen of the Unite*
States whomsoever and pot him in jai
till this embargo on liberty is raised
My warrant, says Sergeant Bothwell, ii
Scott's novel, ?J 'Old Mortality/, whei
asked his authority for dragging Henr;
Morton to prison, lies here-slappioj
the hilt of his broads word. Who thu
has lingered enchanted OD tho pages c
the' Wizard of the North ever believe
that the worst features of the worst pei
?coutions ot the Covenanters of Scot
land would bo revived in America to-day 1
Let the country, then, seo the poir,
thus made. The sword aimed at Sont
Carolina will yet tarn its point againt
the North. The war upon South Can
lina is also a war upon personal liberty
j Against both we remonstrate, and oar
appeal is to God and the country.
Tb? County Jail-The United States
Marilin l-Il li HeVuiy.
We bate observedthe corTespomlenco
of tho New Yoft Sun ?from Columbia,
in relation to the rule of the bayonet in
South' Carolina: Much that is con?
tained in the letter we heartily approve.
It gives a truthful view of the prostra?
tion of our interests, brought about by
Grant's snspeoBion of the writ of habeas
corpus iq niue Goan ties of ibis State.
Nptdo-we doij?tJb?it.tjiftt tbe.JkP,tAor_djs-_
signed to bo correct throughout. We
are pleased, ho wovor, to say, in all can?
dor) that we have reason to believe that
the correspondent's ?tatements, M re?
spects tho prisoners in our ja?1 and the
Deputy Marshal, Mr. Batta, are not just/
1, The prisoners are not kept in close
confinement, bet are allowed, by per?
mits from the United States Marshal, to
see such counsel and friends aa they may
desire.
2. They are allowed to receive food
and any articles cf clothing sent them,
and they are as comfortable as they can
possibly be, under the oironmstanoea.
8. Not over thirty prisoners arrested
on charge of Ea Elnxism have been in
jail at any one time, and they are not
orowded.
4. Tho United States prisoners are in
oharge of the Riohland Sheriff, who
claims to be treating them with due con?
sideration.
These statements we are glad to
make, and some of them we make upon
oar own experience; the others, npon in?
formation we deem correct. Ic addition
to this, we may say that the Board of
Trade and the citizens, on the score of
humanity, will look after the prisoners
brought from the np-conntry. Their
friends may rest assured that they will
not be neglected.
With respect, now, to the United
States Marshal, we have seen no ovidenoe
of any disposition, on his part, to be
other than humano and considerate.
The same, we feel sure, may be said for
the Deputy Marshal, Edward P. Butts.
He repudiates the brutality of conduct
attributed to him, and disclaims having
said "damn yon, you are here for punish?
ment, not for pleasure,"as being foreign
to his feelings. Wa ara glad to be able
to do this aol of justice to an injured
man. Mr. Batts, it is trae, avows him?
self "a true Republican," but is opposed
to the oonduct of the Radical rascals,
whom he regards the worst enemies ol
his party. Mr. Batts was formerly oi
Rhode Island, but, for nearly five years,
has been a resident of this Shite. lu
Charleston, he enjoys the esteem Anti
good will of all; and, as one of hie
friends tell as, feels acutely the charge.'
made against him of brutality of con
duot. His desire is to do his duty in th?
spirit of a gentleman and officer, hold?
ing a responsible post as the Chief De
puty Marshal. Our readers are aware
folly aware-what we think of the oat
r.'.gecue mefianres set on foot in Sooll
Carolina-os we believe, for persona
ends and for party purposes. Bot let ot
distinguish between the measures auc
the men whose duty it may be to carr
oat orders. In this spirit we have writ
ten this, to ease the mind of the op
country, aa to thc treatment of the pri
so?era from that sealion, and to set Mr
Batts right before the country.
Baltimore ?ml Sonta Carol ina.
We have read with great satisfactioi
tho account of tho Baltimore meeting o
the Democratic party, held to protea
against the arbitrary proceedings sot oi
foot in this State. It is said that fros
8,000 to 10,000 persons were present
This is cheering. Truly do they call th!
thing in South Carolina "a war opoi
liberty and lawa."
General Blair in a reoent speoch said
with reference to the testimony in Ala
bama before the Ka Klux Committee
"I have listened to all this testimoD;
which has been given, and I find, as th
not result, that $250,000,000 in bond
have been extorted from the impover
ished and down-trodden South, by th
oarpst-baggers, who were pat in powe
iu the Southern States." Is not tba
heavy, and is not Gen. Fi "P.* Blair i

not square and without rep ru. nob?

Resolution? of ?he Columbi* Hoard of
...... Tra.de- Tbs 'Appeal to Cee*?r.", . .
With genuine pride and satisfaction,
vre invite the attention of the country
10 the resolutions adopted November ?;
by the Columbia Board of Trade. There
is no question of mere politice here.
The Bolid business men of the capital of
South Carolina, composing ?ur Board of
Trade, have very properly and very pa?
triotically raised their voioo in this
emergency. Recognizing the fact that
the once honored regis of the State Go?
vernment no longer covers the i Citizens
of South Carolina; they turu f rom-the
miserable speotflolo^of ?ft corrupt, weak,
and nerveless Sf a to "r?gime, and lay their
can HO, and our common caa se, before
President Grant. They have done well.
Whether our Cassar shall hoed the appeal
or not, let it go forth. President Graot
will, we trust, see the points made by
the Board of Trade. They attribute
his military intervention to the means
used by designing persons to induce him
to resort to the law of the Bword. They
hold that his military measures were
unnecessary, because the oivil process
was, and ia, equal to the enforcement of
the laws io Sooth Carolina. Trae, O
King. They call attention to the loss
and Buffering whioh he bas entailed upon
straggling communitios. Will the Pre?
sident hearken to these sober and truth?
ful words? If he has not lost the mag?
nanimous spirit whioh he illustrated on
several occasions during the war, he wilt.
11 outrages have been enacted in South
Carolina, lot the President remember
that before the Eu Klux were the Loyal
Losgaers; that if whites have violated
the law, so have the blacks; that a cor?
rupt and swindling State and County
regime led the way to acts of outlawry.
Said Burke, the great English states?
man, in behalf of the infant colonies,
upon whioh the mother ooantry proposed
j to lay the hand of power:
"My vigor relents. I pardoo some?
thing to the spirit of liberty."
Let us also invito Presidont Grant to
bear in mind au incident given in the
history of Romo. The question carno
I up iu the Roman Senate as to what
should bo done with tho conquered peo?
ple of Latiam. Some said, "let ns dis?
franchise them." Others said, "let us
place them under the rule of their for?
mer slaves." But Cumillus, a noble
Senator of Rome-when Rome survived
-said, "Let us make them our fellow-citi?
zens, and thus add to Ute power and dignity
of Rome." Will President Grant allow
us to commend to bim the examples oi
BURKE and CAMUJIIUS?
The following resolutions were adopt?
ed by the Colombia Board of Trade, at
a meeting held Novembor '?, with refer?
ence to the effeot npon the business in?
terests of city and State, produced bj
President Grant's military proceedings
in Sooth Carolina:
Whereas this board, organized for thc
purpose of fostering the trade of thu
oity, and of developing its business in?
terests in general, cannot but con sid ei
with concern the blow which these inter?
ests have received iu the recent Federe!
military intervention set on foot in this
State; and whereas we feel satined that
said intervention was the result of exag?
gerated representations mado at Wash'
ington of a condition of things whiol
had existence mostly in the minds of de
signing persona, and was not called foi
by the facts of the cano; and wheres?; tu
citizens anxious for the preservation ol
peace and tho supremacy of order, w<
?rmly hold that the oivil process it
South Carolina is and was fully adequate
to the enforcement of the laws, County
State and Federal. Be it, therefore,
Resolved by the Board of Trude of Co
lumbio, S. C., That this board, address
ing itself, with due respect, to tho Chie
Magistrate of the United States, calli
his attention to the serious damage in
flicted upon tho industry of Columbi!
and tho whole State by Iiis military pro
coed in gs ander tho Enforcement Act o
Congress.
Resolved, That the loss and HU flori ot
eotailed upon the citizens of South Ca?
rolina, in regard to their agricultural
mechanical and mercantile interests, re
quire of President Grant that be should
ns an aol of public justice, promptly re
move from our State tho restriction!
whioh his military intervention places
upon the business pursuits of a strug
gling community.
Resolved, That, ia tho absonco of vin
dicttion and protection at the bauds o
toe otate government, wo place our east
before the President of the country o
which wo claim to bo law-abiding citi
zeus, maintaining that we have a right t<
expect that the power of the Govern
ment will not be causelessly wicklet
against our interests.
Resolved, That theso proceedings bi
published in the New York World, Jour
nal of Commerce, Washington Patria
and tho Columbia papers, und that tb?
President of this Board send a copy ti

stands by his first article, anV sRain in?

ing, to examine, compare and Judge for I
themselves, not accepting any author?
ity whatever, but documentary ovidence,
recorded in 1867, '68 and 69, at the
penitentiary. It is not my wish to add
to the list of punishments, that could be
fairly added from these records, of com- :
parative inhumanity.
One point I can truthfully deny, viz:
that tho "rush into print" was to de?
fend Superintendent Btolbraud part icu- j
iarly. He is able, I presume, tc defend
himself. But the words in the writer's
first article, "penitentiary authorities,"
(after speaking of the Superintendent,)
coupled with its political significance,
drew ont my first response. The most
thorough and exhaustive examination,
on comparison, is invited into any and
all departments of this public institution;
and if abuses exist, let them be exposed.
Closing finally on this Bubject, I fully
endorse your sentiment, tbat "journalism

Onr readers, will observe that the State

hold its first meeting at-Irwin's Hall,
Tuesday evening, November 7. We
hope there will1 be a f?ll gathering, as
business of vital importance will come
up. The joint stock {enterprise mast be
carried oat. This Ul matter of great
importance, especially to the citizens of
this oity. We suggest that1 Columbia
must move promptly and strongly in this
matter. As our readers 'are aware, the
Oity Counoil of Columbia have started a
mut to take from the State Agricultural
and Mechanical Society control of their
grounds-if they can. If this move
should be successful, it might result in
the loss to Columbia of being the seat of
the annual fairs. Will our citizens not
look into thiv business? Looking at the
subject in a purely business point' of
view, what is koowa as partyism in
South Carolina cannot without disaster
lay its hand upon the State Fair. For
it to do so, is to make the State Fair
wither and die. At least, do we say: let
Colombia look to her interests in this
matter. The Fair is a valuable thiog
for Columbia. As the central city and
the capital, here is properly the eeat of
the State Fair.
