COLUMBIA, S. C. Sunday Morning, March 22,1874. The Klischier or Untlmttetl Suffrage. ? If those who legislated tho oolored people into tho rights of citizenship ? could havo foreseen the coneeqqouoos of their sudden investment with unre? stricted soilrage, they would have hesi? tated about going bo far. The evils which have flowed from that ono an wise and untimely concession have <covered tho land with desolation. They have fallen heavily upon the oolored people themselves. They havo rejoioed in the suffrage as a privilege, but not appreciated it as a duty. Tbey have been intoxicated by tbe power which it has conferred, but have studiously ignored the obligations wbioh it imposed. Had qualified and impartial suffrage, with restrictions applicable to both races, been adopted as tho policy in this State, the oolored people would have been muoh more advanoed in intelligence and the qualifications for oitizonship than they now are. As it is, they are caught at elections iu the drag-not of crafty and unprinoipled manipulators. They vote not for measures, but for corrupt men, The ballot is a snare to the weak and ?.ignorant of this tlo-3, the support of cor? ruption, and the means by which it is sustained. Now. t*ij colorod people had had before them the necessity of acquiring a certain amount of property and u certain amount of intelligence and education, as tho indispsnsabla pro i requisite .for tho exercise of suffrage, it ? isould have exerted a most beneficial ode el npon'thom. It would have been an incentive and a stimulus to their progress. It would have been a barrier which they must perforce got over, uud in* doiug that, they would have deve? loped the manhood and gained tho so ? aomplishmonts which would havo been iN&oir unrest title to respect as cih'snB aud to consideration as voters. Had ?;&ey udon subjected to this wholesome discipline?this valuable probation? tbey might have escaped much oppro? brium us a raoe. They might not have been, as the bulk of them now are, the teerest instruments of corruption and a stumbling-block in the way of sll pro? gress, honor and enlightenment. Ab jurymen, they would not have been sub? jected to the disgrace of being deprived ?M their functions, as a jury was in Cam den by Judge Carpenter, from an utter want of qualifications to sorve the coun? try in that capacity. They might have been spared the indignity of being ad? dressed by tho same functionary as he addreaed twelve negroes selected as the Jury, the other day, in Edgefiold: "Gen? tlemen, retire to tho jury-room, and if you oan lind one of your numbor who cau write the verdict, seleot him for your foreman." Unhappily, the un? checked and unlimited power which was thoughtlessly or wickedly conferred upon the:.], has been a nuisance, and in? jury to the whito race, to the country aud to themselves. It is difficult to counteract it. It tends to perpetaute ignorance and exalt irresponsibility. Well SalUlluil. Letters from immigrants who have re? cently been planted in the Stato^are of a highly enoouraging character. They ?represent themselves, generally, as pleased with the country and people. Their relations to employers arosatisfao tory in a business point of view, and agreeable und friendly in persona! in? tercourse. They speak warmly of the kindly treatment they have received. They see tho advantages of tho oouutry and aro discovering how easy it is to better tboir condition in it. Thoy have an eyo to securing land to work on their own account. This is natural and pro? per, aud those who. havo to wait and gather tho moans necessary to give them a foothold on tho soil, cau bring do better recornmendutioj, no .stronger guarantee, by which thoy may get in? dulgence ami assistance in this object of tiicir desire, than by patient toil, honest discharge of reasonable obliga? tions and agrceablo demeanor in their present situation. This is tho way to establish ooufldonoe. The mure useful, faithful and obliging thoy ahow them? selves, tho easier wiil all obstacles to their rLo bo removed. Buch men arc wanted, aud snob moa will bo taken warmly by tho hr^ud. Alcu who have means, largo or small, aro cordially welcomed to come iu to cultivate tho .-oil, develop industries and acquire all '.he rights, privileges and advantages ol citizouship. Ho uro men without other capital than activa brain, ready hand uid willing dispoiitiou. No hotter pass? port to respect und consideration, no surer opening to competence, prosperity and wealth. -*.? The domination of Gen. AlcLaws as Collector of Customs in Georgia, gives .universal satisfaction in tho .South, so far as wo cau learn. IIIsc and Explain. On Tuesday ..last, at. 3 P. M., tbe General Assembly of South Carolina adjourned, or took a recess. The Acts and Joint Resolutions ratified in its olosiug hours were entrusted to tbe charge of Maxwell, Chairman of the Committee on Enrolled Bills, to be taken to tho Governor for his signature. He did take Acts and Resolutions to the Executive offico aud got a receipt for them at 3 o'clock. Tho Governor says he did not with thoso receive the Joint Resolution which authorizes and directs the Attorney-General to institute logal proceedings against N. G. Paker, late State Treasurer, for illegal issue of bonds. He acknowledges that ho did subsequently (on Tuesday) reoeivo and reooipt for tho resolution. Having heard statements to this efleet on Thurs? day, wo oalled upou Maxwell, in our Friday's is3ue, to explain his connection with the transaction. We asked him to account for what seems strange, the cir oarastanoe, namely, that ho did not miss this particular resolution. One would suppose that he would have known whether he took it with ethers or not. He has not responded. Cer? tain explanations aro reported to have been mado by him, but wo havo not heard from him dircotly npou the sub? ject. We turn next to the Governor. Ho must know that tho public and the Le? gislature will not he satisfied with his silence on so gravo occasion. He must havo had fall knowledge tbat the joint resolution did pass both houses and was ratified. He knew that it was among the most important Acts of the session. Ho knew that there were earnest men, representing an earnest constituency, engaged in passing this measure. He knew that there was a committee ap? pointed under it to assist the Attorney General in carrying out its provisions. He must have known, too; that it was the initial step to more fall and search? ing investigations, which would involve others besides Parker. In other words, he knew all about it, and as mach as any one in the State must have appre? ciated its significance. The public will be constrained to ask the Governer this question: How did it happen that in receipting for ratified Acts and resolu? tions, he did not discover that this one was not amongst them? or, upon the hypothesis that it was, what has become of it? The people of the State will look to him to throw some light upou this dark and disreputable affair. Thoy will expect him to institute some proceed? ings which lock to the detection aud punishment of this larceny. They will expect to hoar from him whether he means to accept this clandestine pro? ceeding as a matter of oourse, and iinul. Are the Attorncy-Geuerul and tho com? mittees to be estopped by it? Is Miles G. Parker to escape, through this boin ous fraud, the prosecution which the puople havo demanded aud the Legisla? ture enacted? The Governor mast uu swor these mild aud easy questions, and promptly, too, or harder ones will be put to him. < ?? Tho snplemcntary Civil Rights Bill, which Mr. Sumaer tuft as a legacy lo Congress, proposes to abolish all dis? tinctions on accouut of color in all places to which the public have the right of access. Mr. Eldridgo, of Wis? consin, proposes to the Houso bill of the same character an amendment, pro? viding that nothing in tho Act shall be so construed as to prevent any person or corporation from making uuy sepa? rate arrangements or provision for tbe accommodation, convenience or comfort of tho white citizens of the United States. -,? KmitinUTios.?As an evkleuco that u better time is approaching, when houeat meu will bo able to hold up their heads, und thieves will fly terror-stricken from their sight, wo copy, from n most unex? pected source, the following paragraph, Saul is evidently among the prophets, as will be seen in the following extract from u recout editorial in Harper's Weelcfy: "Tho public disgust ami wrath with corruption of evory kind, aro quito as remarkable at this moment as tho cor? ruption itself. Tho country is dividing into those who believo in political ho? nesty, and who mean to sccuro it, and thoso who l*ugh it to scorn, as impracti? cable sentimentality. What sincere Re? publicans ask, aud do not receive, is (some unmistnkablo sign from Washing? ton that their administration is with the former, and not with tho latter. They do not see that sign in the appointment of Governor Shepherd, in tho Sanhorn contract, in tho nomination of the Bos? ton colleotorship, as they did not seo it in tho approval of tho salary grub, in the retention of Air. Casey, in tho tend? ency to inflate the currency, and in tho hesitation to retrench. That demand, however, will Dot be. relaxed. An at? tempt iu tbo White House to Johnson izo the Republican party failed, and an effort to Butlerize it will bo equally use? less." Doings of the Legislature. ? The following Acta were passed at tbo late session: Drawing Juries.?That section four? teen of tbo Act entitled "An Act to re* gulbte tbo manner of drawing juries," approved March 10th, 1871, being Sec? tion seventeen, Chapter 111, of tbe Gen? eral Statutes, be, and the same is here? by, amended by inserting tbe word "twenty" in tho second line, in lien of tho word "fifteen."

Section 3. That Sectiou thirty live of Eaid Act, being Section throe, of Chap? ter 139, of tho General Statutes, Le amended-so as to read as follows: "In ease of deficiency of grand juror?., in any court, a number of persona duly qualified to nerve ns EQoh shall be sum? moned from tho bystanders, and shnl! bo selected in the same manner as is provided in Section two of this Act." i Secreting Personal Property.? !

Section 2. That Section 12 of the Act ] herein ameuded bo knowu und denomi-! uuted us Section 13 of said Act. A Croat Harrington (Mass.) meiehiinl found n box of parlor matches on Ibe store lloor tbo other morning, which bad been knocked off tbe shelf by u rat or mouse daring the night. On open? ing tbe box, tbe discovery was made that, by the concussion, every match in the box had been lighted, aud tbe wood of which they wcru made was charred and turned brown. Fortunately, tho .box was so tight as to smother the fire, and no barm resnlted. It was a narrow escape; and if a fire bad taken place, its cause would have been a perpetual mys? tery. The Queen's Speech.?The following was the Queen's speeoh at tho opening of the English Parliament: I recnr to your advice at tho earliest period pet' mitted by tho arrangements.oonsequent upon the retirement of tho late admi j nfetration. Our foreign relations con? tinue most friendly, und I shall not' havo to exeroiso the influence urisiug from the cordial relations for the main? tenance of European peace and a faith? ful observance oi inturnational obliga? tions. The marriage of my son is ut once u source of happiness to myself und u pledge oi friendship between two great empires. Tho Ashanteo war has terminated in the capture and destruc? tion of their capital, aud negotiations which, I trust, may lead to a more satis? factory cjuditiou of affairs than hith? erto. The courago, discipline and en? durance of my forees, and the energy and chili evinced in the conduct of tho expedition, bar, brilliantly maintained, under the most trying circumstauccs, the traditionary reputation of 'the Bri? tish army. I deeply regret that drought ! has affected the most populous pro? vinces iu the Indian Empire, aud pro? duced extreme scarcity in Eome parts, and amountiug to actual famine over an area inhabited by many millions. I have directed the Governor-Geueiul of India to spare no cost in striving to mitigate the terrible calamity. Gentle? men of the Houso of Commons, the estimates for the expenditures during tbe coming financial year will be forth? with submitted to you. My Lords and gentlemen, the delay and expense at? tending the transfer of laud in Eng? land has lenig been felt to bo a reproach to our laws and serious obstacle to deal? ing iu real property. I trust that the measures which will now be submitted for your consideration will be found calculated to remove much of tbe evil which is coinpluioed of. You will pro bab'y be of opinion that the ru-arrauge ment of the judicature und the blend ieg of tho administration of law und equity which wore effected iu England by Hie enactment of the last stssion ought to be extended to Irelaud. You will be asked to devote a p?rt of your time to the accomplishment of this object. Tbe greater part of these change? nre inapplicable to the tribu? nals in Scotland, but you will be iuvited to consider tho most satisfactory mode of bringing the procedure upou Scot? tish appeals into harmony with recent legislation. Among other measures iu relation especially to Scottish interests, is a bill amending the luw relating to laud rights and facilitating the transfer of land, which will be laid before yon. SeriouH differences have arisen aud re? monstrances beeu made by large classes of the community as to the working of the recent Act affecting tho relationship between master and servant; of the Act of 1S71 dealing with offences connected with trade and of the laws of con? spiracy. On these subjects, I am desir? ous that, before attempting fresh legis? lation, you should be in possession of ail the material facts und tho precise questions in controversy. For this pnr pose I have issued my royal commission of inquiry into tho state aud working of the present laws, with a view to their early amendment, if found neces?ury. A bill will be introduced dealing with such parts of tho Acts regulating the sale of intoxicating liquors us have given ri.-.e to complaints and appear to deserve tho interference of Parliament. Your attention will also be directed to the laws affecting the friendly provident so? cieties. These matters will require grave consideration. I pray the Al? mighty to guide your deliberations. Tue Coliseum at Home? Aboltuon of Old REiiioiova Ceuemonies.?The "Patquino Committee" of carnival re? vellers lately applied to the Kornau au? thorities for permission to hold a mimic gladiatorial display in the Coliseum, but were informed by the Miulater of Pub? lic Instruction that no ancient monu? ment was henceforward to be Ueed for uuy spectacles or public amusements. The clearing out of the arena bus begun with tho removal of the iucumbrances of the cross iu the centre, and the chapels of the Via Grinds, thut have ex? isted since their eseotion by Pope Bene? dict XIV, iu 1710. The pulpit from which the Franciscan friars have held forth every Friday during the last 1U0 years aud more, has beeu luid low, und earth has boen removed iu parts down tu the original level of the amphithea? tre. The sub-structures disclosed, says the Swisj Times, are said to correspond exactly with those oi the nruua at Ca? pua, aud to resemble the sub-scenic ar? rangements of most modi ra theatres. The chapels, which are built of traver? tine, belong to the eonfrateruity of tho "Lovers of Jesus and Mary;" and Sig coc Kosa, the director of tho Govern? ment excavations, wrote to Cardinal Guidi, the protector of that society, in? forming him oi tho necessary destruc? tion of the Via Crusis, and requesting, if possible, a prompt reply. Iiis Emi? nence replied with u courteous note, in? timating the necessity he felt ol refer? ring tho affair to the Holy Father. Tho results of the excavations, which anti? quaries have vainly pleaded for since early in the present century, are expect? ed to be extremely inlorosimg. A Champion Fi hem an. ?
