?. Bise? of Views on Removal of the
Troops.
The Union'Berald, of yesterday, de
Totee two articles to the interview of
Senator Robertson with the reporter of
the Charleston News and Courier.
.They are from different hands, but run
'^Tijtljy well together. Each shows a
-doofj oonoern at the present situation
~*oI things and the prospeot ahead, as
?4bey ore seen in the light of the revela?
tions of the Senator. The writers
-gather up a few crumbs o( comfort,
?bat, upon the whole, seem to be in a
^sad and gloomy state of mind. They
arofsartieularly disturbed by the views
-entertained, both by the President aud
the Senator, of the purpose for which
the troops are kept in the State. As
tha President says they are only here
-to enforce the laws of the Oeneral
Government, one finds a little consola
-tioa In saying that one of those laws 1b
? to protect the State against domestic
- violence and revolution, and another
to maintain the inviolableness of the j
Might oi suffrage. From these pre
aaiaee, be concludes that theDemoorals
ought not to think that "they will be
encouraged in any force, violence or
intimidation in the coming oatnpaigu."
That oonoluBion is correctly drawn,
?bat has do point iu it or application
to Democrats, unless it bu also shown
Cshat they deny the right of Buffragu or
? ?med it ate violence. It applies, rather,
<3o ihepoiiiioai assooiates of the writer,
who, Dearly in all elections, use force,
- wjoleaco, intimidation and frauds with
?"?Ut number, aud really violate the
. Mrigktvcf suffrage. It ia notorious that
-\n? ? cbiered man oan vote any
. Democratic ticket without incur
? <cing the ?bittere.'" denunciation,
?- ?nfi running the risk oi losing bis life.
We-, need ??v.-jt give instances. Hun
?-.jj#eds-. nan be ? adduced, if necessary.
Wo know of oue muu who was com?
pelled to leave Colombia for tins rea
aMO,'titfxer severe injuries to his person.
. lie ia a.Uemoorat still, but lives at the
foot of the mountains. Does writer
. STo. 1 think that the election laws of
Sooth Carolina secure the inviolable
aess of the right of suffrage? Would
itdxapa military force to proteot the
-rraipoftation of illegal voters, as was
i' notoriously done in Charleston at the
last city eleotion? Would it maintain,
?t the point of the bayonet, the doc?
trine whioh we find already put forth
in a Radical journal, to uuduly influ?
ence the colored vote? No oolored
mao, it says, oan vote the Democratic
ticket at the next eleotion, without
being branded by the world as having
. ?aald bis vote.
'Bat, bless usl we must not forget
No. 2. He is calmer and rather more
?plausible. While his companion in
the second column makes the most
that be oan out of the President's
-views about the use of the military in
? the-State, he in the third corrects the
Senator's heresies as to the opinion of
? the people on that subject. They do
oot, he thicks, as the Senator says
they do, aud as his companion, whose
^?zffusion we have just noticed, seems to
"intimate, believe that the troops are
kept for the purpose of protecting the
-StateGovernment. His opinion is that
they serve to keep the Ku Elux down,
who, but for their being overawed,
"would intimidate and murder the Re
gtablioanB for their political opinions."
We knew that these tremors wore felt in
?certain quarters. We had amusing
?evid9Qoo of this last winter and spring,
?when, laokicg other diversion, we
several times threw out the idea cf the
- removal of the blue-ooats. Wo never
faded to produce some spasms of up
prehension, or to elicit earnest protests
Against the suggestion and piteous ap?
peals to the Government, for mercy's
?afce, not to take the troops away.
.Bat, to be more serious, there are
some impediments to the acceptance
at this viow. First, the Republicans
(so-called) of Sonth Carolina have no
special peculiar political opinions,
-none worth protecting by military
. power, or about which anybody oares
- whether they entertain tbem or not. It
ia their praotices, which are not a reflex
of Republican opinion, whioh mako
them odious. Socoudly, tho Ku Klux
.arose under peculiar circumstances of
folly and madness among the oolored
people in some of the Counties above
Coiumbir., caused by the violent and
insane language of Radical speakers
?nd pestilent fellows, and by the distri?
bution amongst tbem of Winchester
rifles and other arms. . The same
-causes do not exist to bring them
?forth again, aud if the United States
soldiers should bo withdrawn, there is
not the slightest probability that a
?single Ku Klnx would re appear. Ho
nest Republicans need not be afraid of
them, nor are they, and tbo opinion is
inoorreotly and injuriously attributed
to the masses, that they owe their life
and peace to the presence of the Go?
vernment troops.
Jonii Mitchell, trie IrUh Patriot.
John Mitchell sailed for Ireland on
Tuesday. He goes buck to the country
where he whs,tried, really, for Iiis par?
ticipation wtili Smith O'Brien, M.rtin
and others iu what uns known us the
?'Young Ireland Purty," in tho revolu?
tionary agitation of 1848, uud sen?
tenced to penal servitude, ou the
charge of treason?felony. IIu made
hia escape, after some years passed in
the English penal colonies, and escaped
to this country. He established aud
conducted a journal for some time at
Kuoxville, Tennessee, uud subse?
quently wrote for the press ut Rich?
mond, Virginia, and iu New York.
He warmly embraced the Southern
side iu the late oivil war, and a son
bearing his honored name was one of
the heroes who fell ut Fort Snmter.
He returns to Ireland, it is said, to
enter the British Parliament as a
Home Ruler. A place will be made
for him by tbe retirement of one of the
men of the parly, iu order to secure
his immediate election. It is eooght
to enlist his influence and services in
tho oanee of home rale. He has a
strong hold upon the affections aud
regard of the people of Ireland. He
has determination aud vigor. Ho is a
mau always in earnest. Nothing can
swervfl him from his opinions?neither
the frowns of the authorities, the visit?
ation of punishment nor the blandish?
ments of power. His harsh treatmeut
by the British Government, bis luug
exile and his eloquent voioe and effect?
ive pen, exerted iu this country in
behalf of constitutional gsvernmeut
and ugaiust tbe iusidious approaches
of despotic power, have deepened the
attachment which his countrymen feel
for him. He will be a strong acquisi?
tion to the home rule party. It is to
be hoped that the British Government
will make no difficulty about his return
to political life, upon the ground that
his term of punishment as a convict
has not expired. He is no friend to it,
but the gravamen of his opposition is
his belief of its injustice and wrong to
Ireland. He loves his country and is
ablo to serve it with distinction and
advance it by his counsels. The field
upon, which ho now proposes to enter
is one of wide usefulness. We trust
he may here realize his highest expect?
ations, and that the storms and trou?
bles of his past life may bo contrasted
by the serenity, usefulness, honor und
success of its closing days.
Wtiu .11..mt l.lkrly to Support Most*.
There is one thing iu which the
Union-Herald writers perfectly agree
in yesterday's paper. According to
one of them, it i* the evident purpose
of tbe Democrats to sustain Moses,
either by their votes or silent influ?
ence; according to the other, the evi?
dence of this is furnished in the state?
ment of Senator Robortson, that he
has heard such a thiug mentioned.
How easy for inou to believe what they
think it their interest to believel
They suppose that there is a certain
odium in the Conservatives support?
ing Moses, uud they love to lay it on
thick. But such allegations deceive
no one. They are only snro proofs of
the desporate condition of those who
nse them. These are tho same men
who in tbe Union-Herald let oil Moses
and Maxwell, when between them they
"lost" the joint resolution to prosecute
Parker; and tho same mon who shield?
ed him when ho evaded and braved,
by the nse of Miuort's troops, the ser?
vice of a writ of tbo Conrt. And wo
are not so euro but that they will sup?
port him yet for Governor. Why
not? There is not a particle of reason
against their doing so, according to
thoir own laws of political conduct.
But there is a great deal to prevent
Conservatives or Democrats acoopting
the same peculiar rules. They can't
"turn about, and wheel about and do
just so."
?Judge Mackey, in Lancaster, a fow
days ago, sentencing n prisoner to tho
penitentiary for life?his crime boing
arson?said: "Tho verdict was ren?
dered by an impartial jury of singolar
intelligence, composed of five white
and seven colored citizens, selected by
the prisoner, who had forty challenges.
The evidence developed tho fact that a
ohild, about seven years of age, was
consumed iu the burning dwelling
house. I do, thereforo, in the name
of violated law, protest against Execu?
tive olemenoy boing extended in this
case by tho Chief Magistrate, F. J.
Moses, Jr., who has so prostituted tho
pardoning powor as to make the admi?
nistration of tho criminal law a mock?
ery of justice, and oonvort the broad
seal of the State intp the symbol of
j approved crime."
The Attempted Abesst at BeijTON. ?
Representative Ooehran, of Anderson,
referring to the statement in the
Union-Herald tbat the feeling in Belton
was very strong against Mr. Darling,
and that it was only by a strong dis
pluy of personal courage that be was
enabled to ct-capo tho mob assembled
at Ibo depot to prevent hi? departure,
suyp:
I have received reliable information
that no mob assembled ut Beliou to
prevent Mr. Darliug's departure. A
few of the friends of the deceased,
(not citizens of Anderson County,)
when they utcortuiued thut Mr. D?e
bug was on board tho train, deter
miu<-d lo urrert hitn, but, ufu r oouniit
mg kvitb uiiu or more lawyers, ll??y
were informed that it would bo unlaw?
ful to make the urrest without u w.?r
runt. While trying to procure a war
runt, the train ieft. Does it look
reusouublu tbat a mob would regard
tho luw aud wuit for a warruut before
making the arrest? I um satisfied Mr.
Darling did not intend to convey tb?
idea that be was in dunger of the (re?
called) mob, or that the citizens of
Anderson Couuty would do injury tu u
legally constituted officer in the dis?
charge of his duty. Anderson, ub is
well known, is one of the most pros?
perous and law-abiding Counties in the
State. Until her citizens uct to the
contrary, let ber keep her laurels.
While we would bo pleased to bavo
the troops spend the summer with ub,
rest assured none are needed at Bel
tou, or any portion of Audemou
County, to protect an ofliuer frouu u
mob.
The New York Evening Post has
beeu.caBting the horoscope; of tho near
political future, and muhet? the follow?
ing predictions coucuruing the fall
elections: In Maine, the Detnocrutt,
will make a thorough and spirited can?
vass, but uh the course of the five
members of Congress bus been on the
whole tatisfactory, the result as lo
them cannot be in doubt. Yermout is
sure for the Republioaus. In Ohio,
Iowa and ludiauu, the Democrat* and
independents have a flattering pros?
pect. In Georgia, tho Democrats will
eluct the full delegation. It is impos?
sible to predict who will bo "counted
in" in Louisiana. Alabama and Dela?
ware uro in doubt, with the ctiuucc* iu
favor of the Democrats. Kansas will
probably go Republican, und Mihmi
uhusetts the same, with some doubt ?h
to tbe Districts of Dawes aud Hour.
Michigan, it thinks, is wedded to its
idold. Missouri will elect nu entire
Democratic delegation, with possibly
one exception, and replace ?churz
with a Democrat. New Jersey is in
doubt, with the chances in favor of the
Democrats. In South Carolina, auy
change will be a surprise. In New
York, tbe Democrats will make large
gains. No one oan venture to predict
tho result in Illinois and Pennsylvania,
but the chances ure iu favor of large
Democratic gains. Iu Arkansas, tho
Democrats will elect a majority of tbe ,
delegation. Florida will go Republi?
can. Kentucky und Maryland will
elect unanimous Demourutio delega?
tions. In Minnesota and Wisconsiu,
tbo reformers wdl undoubtedly elect
some members, aud Texas is sure to be
Democratic, purely through disgust ut
"carpet-bag" msuagement.
A Republican on Civil, Riobts.?
Hon. W. F Hall, of Merriwether, Ga.,
a prominent Republican and a mem?
ber of the Legislatures of 1808 and
1870, writes u letter to the Griffin
News, iu which he discasses the Civil
Rights Bill, aud takes strong grouuds
against the measure. He says:
As to tbe Civil Rights {Bill, it is
wrong in principle. All the citizens of
this country, irrespective of race, color
or nativity, are equal boforo In? law?
are equal in civil and political rights.
That is enough. No wiio mau wiW
ask more. Our social relations ought
not to be made a subject of legisla?
tion. Taste, habit, feeling, inclina?
tion, ought and will in tbe end control
tbem. Tha Civil Rights Bill is tho
ofT-jpring of fanaticism aud ambition.
Of course, I hope it will not become a
law. If it dooB, evil und evil only will
be its fruits, and the more evil to tbe
Yankee race.
The Spread or Journalistic Inde?
pendence.?The careful reader of
nowspapers cannot fail to notice a sig?
nificant change for tbe better within
the past six months. They have
grown more independent aud less par?
tisan. The number of old fashioned
organs, papers which praisod tho party
through thick aud tbin, can now be
counted on the fiDgeru, and, if tho list
be confined to the daily pres.", one
hand will supply tho digits needed. It
is hard work to find a journal, always
excepting those in Washington, wbicb
docs not occasionally indulge in criti?
cism, and tho vast majority condemn u
good deal more thun they praise.
There are doubtless tivo causes for this
encouraging change. One is, that tho
independent press lies demoralized tho
organs and made their business unpro?
fitable, by giving tbo public a moro
satisfactory article; aud the other is
tbo bad couditiou of party lines and
the tendency on all sides in favor of
bolting.?New York Tribune.

been beon leaned by Messrs. T. B.
Peterson & Co , Philadelphia. Price
fifty cents. This book is regarded as
oue of the best and moBt successful of
Mrs. Newby's works. It will remind
the reader of the clever novels of so?
ciety by Mies Jane Austin nnd Mies
Ferner, both bo highly praised by Sir
Walter Scott; aud of the more recent
productions of Mrs. Grey and Miss
Ellen Pickering. In this new etory,
au English baronet, with his four chil?
dren, oconpy tho frregronnd. The
evil spirit is a Lady Lora Vivian, a
young and beuntiful widow, who, while
deeply attached to one man, promises
to marry his elder brother, for the sake
of his title and wealth. There is a
good deal of co..rtiug in this tale?the
wooing of Louisa Elton, the proper
heroiue, decidedly original. The cha?
racters are well drawn and ably indi?
vidualized. "Sunahine and Shadow,"
though not what might be called sen?
sational, is eminently readable and very
entertaining.

ed, (.be election was made uuauimons
with great heartiness. Gon. John S.
Preston, of South Carolina, was then
elected orator, and Mr. Daniel B.
Lucas, of Jefferson Couuty, poet, by
acclamation.
Aa one of our former most distin?
guished citizens, we are especially gra?
tified at the election of Gen. Preston.
In conferring this additional lustre ou
that "crown of glory," his "grey
hair," Virginia reflects honor upou
herself. In "the sear aud yellow leaf"
of age, Hen . Preston's royal powers of
oratory still briug forth glorious fruit,
as that, one of the grandest of his
efforts, three years ago, at Wofford
College, evinced to the immense audi?
ence, spell bound by the witchery of
his eloquence. Would that wo might
listen again to the one remaining to as
of those noble brothers, Preston, for
the surpassing eloquence of the one is
ouly rivaled by the memory of that of
the other.
