COLUMBIA, S. C. Wednesday Horning, June 3, 1874. llc-actlon. The tendencies of the people of the North, from the foundation of the Go? vernment, have been towards a latitn dinarian construction of its powers. It has been the policy of that section, aided by this enforeed construction, to make efficient and practical, and sub? sidiary to private enterprise, the views of a strong Government, which were promulgated by Alexander Hamilton. Its powers have thus been wielded in the interests of a section. Its tariff lawa, its sudaidioa, its grants of public 'lands to railroads; its harbor and river improvements, its protection to fisher? ies, its special favors, shown in a thou? sand ways, to Northern States and cities, forced the growth of that sec? tion, and established between them the relation and bond of a hot-honse plant to beat. The sympathy was quickly shown when dangers threat? ened the central power. 1 Under tho propulsion of war, it became a passion, a sentiment, the echoes of whose ex? cesses of utterance-still linger in the air. It grew into increased opportu? nities to seize the powers : of govern? ment, which belonged to the people. Under snob advisers as Seward and Stanton in time of war, and of Tha/d decs Stevene, Butler and others of that ilk in the . 'period of reconstruction, they, were not neglected. Tho Go vernmoht driftej^ Awfiy from ilt\ moor? ings and no longer ,aailB by the obart of tb4/?pi^Hjfd^:, , A glance at' the provisions of the new Civil BfghtB Bill would show that tho Constitution, mutilated as it is, to suit prejadioe, enlarged to tueet all the insane demands of ignorarioe apd prurient sentiment, with a lingering disfiguring tonoh of sectionalism, is really hardly .ever present to the minds of the legislators of the country. In losing its oouservative features and proteotiug spirit, it has lost authority and respect. It is considered by the party in power as an obsolete instru? ment?-a compact which may be qaoted to bind the weak, bnt which the strong may safely disregard. Bot there are some gratifying signs of re-action from thin fatal tendency. There are think? ing and patriotic men who see the daugera to which it will lead. From a disregard of constitutional obligations, the step is easy to the oppression of the States, to the engrafting upon the oentral government the spirit, if not the form, of imperial power. The bold declaration of Senator Eaton, touching the virtue of the old-fashion? ed Jeffereonian dootrinos of State rights, the remarkable comments npou it of the New York Times and its ap? peal to its party to return to sounder principles, and to do justice to the South, are as cheering aa they are sig? nificant. The language used by Mr. Potter, one of the members from New York/, in the House, a few days ago, is of the same character and muoh more startling. He professed himself to be "an extreme 'States rights man," and olaimed for the theory of equality among the States that it was right. He went still further, and looking at the oooBequenoe8 of the tyranny and misrule of the General Government over the States of the South, directly exerted by its hostile legislation and its domination by military power, aud indireotly through thieving and cor? rupt State Governments whioh it has planted and watered, he uttered a vindication of her principles whioh will be a sure preonrsor of the verdict of hi story. He (aid: "I am free to declare, what I pre HUtuo few men in the Houso would venture to adroit, that if I was now to make a constitution lor the future go? vernment of these Status, I would put a provision in it whereby a certain number or proportion of tha States might go out of the Union whenever they pleased; for I believe that good government cau in the loug run only be maintained by its beiug in accord? ance with the interests of those who are under it. I urn convinced that whenever the real interests of a great section prompt it to go out of tbe Union, it should be allowed to go. But notwithstanding these views, it seems to me idle to any longer talk about the legislation of Congress being tbe legislation of sovereign States." A New Teleohaph Enterprise West.?On the 26th instant, at Daven? port, Iowa, articles of incorporation for tho North Amerioau Telegraph Company were filed, capital 81,000, 000. The new eompany is comported of Chicago gentlemen. Jas. B. Mo Mullen, Goo. W. MoMullen and Adal? bert A. Latbrop, who have already purohased the hues West of Daven? port, operated heretofore by the Great Western Telegraph Company. The linos of the new company now extend West into Nebraska, Missouri and Kansas, aud its extension to other . points is to be rapidly pushed, roaoh lug North, South and East. i?*?, ?in, i, ,AiiPIUWHMS)i o+H The Greenville News, tbe new daily just started at that place, sails into Boutb Carolina politics with a sugges? tion whifh those of the Radical' per suasion* who talk of reform, should lay closely to heart. It can tains the, hern of a dilomrna upon which'they are in danger of being impaled. We have waited long for their "good in? tentions and manhood" to take tbe shape of practical action against cor? ruption, to take tboturn of seeking the aid of those, without regard to party politios, who have a vital inte? rest in securing good goverument. Bat they go in the old ruts or they stick in the old mud. Our Greenville contemporary says: "If the Conservatives can control u larger number of votes than tbe libe? ral Bepoblioan8?those who favor an honest administration of tbe Govern? ment?would it not show the good in? tentions and manhood of these libe? rals to.oo-operate with the Conserva? tive party In this State, the members of whioh have a vital interest in secur? ing a good government? If they re? fuse, it will look very muoh like tbey are fighting the present administra? tion for the purpose of seonring for themselves the spoils, and not for the general good of tbe people." Yes, it will look a good deal like it. When -they .fight they ought to hurt. Some of them have been in a fight with- Moses lately at Orangeborg, of whioh the net result was the conclu? sion that "the King can do no wrong." As a reform dogma, that can hardly be regarded a success. Will these re? formers oontinne to brain their crimi? nals with a fan, or will they co-operate w(th those who mean no child's play, in onrbing licentiousness, and checking corruption? Tukbs States Only.?The ninth census shows that there only three States in the Union wherein the co? lored people have a majority, and only two where, on a square division of the races at the polls, the negro majority is large enough to be fairly oouuted upon. Tbe {States in which there are colored majorities are Louisiana, Sooth Carolina and Mississippi. In all the other former slave-holding States, tho whites have a majority. If the passage of the Civil Rights Bill consolidates the oolored voters in favor of tbe Republican party, it will also consolidate the whito voters more strongly than ever against the Republi? can party. Beyond retaiuing South Carolina, Louisiana and Mississippi, which might be done without the Civil Bights Bill, it ib difficult to see what that measure will accomplish for the Republican party. -?

The tide of immigration, inoreasas id volume as the spring advauoeB. Up? wards of a.000 immigrants arrived on Monday. Oue steamship, the City of Paris, from Liverpool, brought 1,246 steerage ptteeugers, besides 41 cabin passengers. The Spain brought 1,000 steerage and 113 oabin passengers. The* Oceanic had; 861 steerage and 56 cabin fjassengers. Nearly all of this vast number of immigrants sailed from Liverpool, though they were of different nationalities. Yesterday the influx, though not so great as the day before, was very large All the efforts of the Governments of Europe to re? strain emigraliou and all the misrepre? sentations to divertomigrauta Iromtue United Suites and to the British Colo? nies or elsewhere fail to oheok the current to tho republic The panio last winter returdel immigration hither to some ixteut. The action of the German Government, to prevent its subjeots leaving the Fatherland, and lately the misrepresentions made in England as to the alleged disad? vantages which immigrautH labored under in this country, had ulao some effeot, but the stream flows on never? theless, and appears to be increasing. The truth is, the mass of poople in Europe are pretty well informed about the United States?that is, as to tho cheapness aud quality of the laud und the freedom and excellence of our in? stitutions?and they prefer to take the chuuees of life und to make their homes here. Well, thoro is plenty of room aud abundant opportunities for well doing to the industrious. Ouly let the immigrants leave the crowded cities and go to the interior, where there is work for all and cheap laud for all.?New York Herald. The Bbatjtibs of Reoonsthootion. Wo copy from a Charleston journal one of the most painful stories we have read since the war. In a siugle County in South Carolina? there had been a publio sale of property whiob had not paid its taxes. Within flvo days, 2,900 pieces of real citato had been thus sold. In other words, the owners of 2,900 farms and homesteads are so poor that they cannot pay their taxes, and so submit to confiscation. Surely there mast be a cause for this?a cause, the existence of which if a sin aud a shame. We say nothing of the sooues of devastation lufliuted upon the Caro? linas by Sherman's army; npon the fact that tho army was virtually per? mitted to pillage the State whiob gene? rated aecossiou and wus the homo and grave of Oalhouu. Lnt history pass upon that as it may; we pans it us oue of those dark memories which we would gladly forget. But here is a case for which no war necessity can be pleaded. South Carolina has been go? verned so wantonly, with such a total disregard of public rights and private security, that she sinks into inanition, that liberty, comfort and the pursuit of happiness seem to bo impossible. Tho siugle incideut thus recorded il? luminates the wholoSoutheru situation aud dishonors tho administration of General Grant. When ho ucoepted the Presidency, his yearning was for peace.

But? ler, it seems, has a very good reasou for uot pressing his Civil Bights Bill, aud that is, the intimation coming from the President that he would cer? tainly veto it iu its present form. He would press it if he could be assured of a two-thirds vote, ou the ideu thut its passage by 6uch u vote might have some effeot upon the President's ac? tion. The Republicans who would rather uot he recorded ou tho bill are well satisfied that it should go by de? fault. The colored people hero are in? dignant, however, and have oalied upon Judge Hoar to know why he does uot press it. They told him plainly that Mr. Stimner left it to him as a saored legucy, and they ask him to fulfill his duty as executor. Judge Hoar replies thut at present tbcro is no hope of sue Hess, und bids his colored friends to biilo their time hopefully [Baltimore Sun. - The VmoiNIOS Case ?Correspond once of the British foreign oflice, aris? ing out of the capture of tho Virgiuiue and the subsequent executions ut San? tiago do Cuba, is officially published.
