Irreverence. 1

To make use of the language of the Bible j
to point a joke, is generally admitted to be
l ot only profane, but in bad taste. What is (
regarded by the majority of men as sacred ]
and venerable, is thereby subjected to ridi- ]
nnil treated with disrespect This is .
true iu a general sense, and without refer- ,
ence to the much stronger argument that ,
might be advanced, founded upon the third ,
commandment of the Decalogue. Now, there ,
are other words than those of tho Bible, ,
which, although wanting the same high ,
sanction, are, nevertheless, to be treated
with almost equal respect. In this class, we
rank the prayers and hymns which are used ,
in our churches in public worship. These
are, with few exceptions, the composition of
uninspired men, but. being designed for sacred
uses, and hallowed in association by (
long usage, are regarded with the greatest I
affection and reverence by those who have !
" 1 *' r-" nopKo&t childhood. I
nturu uicui iiuui ifuwn vmuvuv ?
Any use of these words in a light and i
9 jesting mauner, to throw ridicule upou a
person or thing, grates harshly upon the j
taste and feelings of those who respect them,
and is to a large extent profane, because
the very fact that these words have a religious
and sacred sentimont connected with
them, gives the whole flavor to the wit
which is attempted by their use.
For these reasons, we object to a "nick
name," given by the Columbia correspondent
of the News ami Courier to the
Rev. Douglas Robertson, member of the
Legislature. " Qui Vive" calls him "Green- j
land's ley Mountains," because, as be says,
he is "sanctimoniousWe do not know
whether Mr. Robertson objects to the title
? i ,
or not; but the thousands 01 peopio wuu
have for years used the noble old hymn,
commencing with those words, do object to
seeing an old friend brought into ridicule.
When the Foreign Missionary movement,
which has accomplished such a great work
for the world, was in its infancy, Bishop
Heber composed the hymn, " From Greenland's
Icy Mountains," for a special occasion.
It was one of the most triumphant
successes in the whole history of literature.
From that time to the present, it has held an j
undisputed place in the hearts of those inter- (
ested in the cause of missions. It never grows
old or tame from use, and it will never be
known bow much has been accomplished by
its stirring language and music, in infusing ,
" lift, tfhergy, and spirit into the army whoee (
- - j
battle-Bong ic is. {
Again, there is nothing "sanctimoniov*," |,
in the sense in which that word is generally
used, about the hymn. There is poetry. I (
life and action, but nothing akin to hypo- j (
critical, whining cant. Therefore, the at- I,
tempted jest loses its point. I
"Qui Vive" is an able, fearless correspondent,
and a vigorous and forcible writer.
We read his letters always with pleasure,
but we do no: like to sec him making sport
of a good old hymu. We protest against it. j
Marshal Bazaine was found guilty of the j i
charges preferred against him, and sen- j?
tenced to death by the court-martial. but ]
with a recommendation to mercy. Presi- <
dent McMahon has commuted the sentence j
to twenty years seclusion, with degradation j
from rank. This action of tho President ]
of the French Republic is gratifying. Pub- t
lie sentiment was strong against the cxccu- i
tion of the old soldier, who has spent his \
whole life in the service of France, and i
whose failure in his last trial was as much 1
due, no doubt, to misfortune as to trenchcry. a

A War Id Aftrlca. rj
The greatest interest and excitement have 8
been caused in this country by the prospect 1
of a war with Spain, which, together with f
our recent financial panic, has caused us to '
lose sight of the fact that u war is actually *
in progress in Africa. Hostile armies are '
in the field, towns are besieged, and battles *
are being fought. The price of cottou is not '
affected the nreminm on trold is not ad- '
? I n
vaneed, the stock-markets of this country and 1
Europe are not disturbed, and theroforc wo a
do not concern ourselves. Nevertheless the *
shock of contending hosts may be heard c
upon the coasts of Guinea. Great Britain 9
and the Ashantccs are fighting. The bad
feeling between these parties dates back to ?
1807. The Ashantces at that time were in t
the habit of invading and devastating the I
territory of those tribes, which lay between f
the Gold Coast and their own country. In (
these raids they came into collisio:< with the I
British, who were established at Cape Coast t
Castle, from whom they claimed fines, be- v
cause some Ashantees had been ill-treated t
by them, and they had also sheltered fugi- a
tives from justice. }
In 1824, the Ashantees invaded their I
neighbors and mnrched against Cape Const c
Castle. The British Governor. Sir Charles j
Macarthney, went to meet them with a West I
Indian regiment, and some native levies, s
The latter fled, and the Governor and the I
rest of his army were overpowered and f
killed, and Sir Charles Macarthney's head (
is still kept at Coomaseie, the Ashantee ?
capital. In 1826 the Aahanteea were da- f
#
uated, and in 1831 peace was made, tlieir
Ciug renouncing all claim to sovereignty
ver the Coast tribes. In 1844 the Fantees,
,nd other tribes made a treaty, by which
hey acknowledged the supremacy and jurisliction
of Great Britain, and the latter pronised
its protection in case of invasion.?
There were difficulties again in 1852 and
1863.
The Dutch have settlements on the coast
>f Guinea very near those of the English.
In 1870 they proposed to cede one of these,
Elmina, to the English, to which arrangement
the Ashantees and other tribes
igrecd. The English then demanded that
two German and two French missionaries,
who had been enticed into the country of
the Ashantees and carried prisoners to
Coomassie, should be given up. This was
refused, unless a ransom should be paid.?
While the amount, and the manner of payment
of the sum demanded were under discussion,
the Ashantees crossed the river
Prah, their boundary line, on the 27th of
January of the prescut year. After routing
an army of the allies of the British, ravaging
the country, and burning villages, they were
met, within a few miles of Cape Coast, by a
body of British marines and sailors, and defeated.
The town of Elmina, which had
revolted, was bombarded by the English
fleet and destroyed. Sir Garnet Wolseley
has been sent out from England to take the
command against the Ashantees, who during
this whole year, have been encamped,
50,000 9trong, fifteen miles from Cape Coast.
The English have serious difficulties to
encounter in the conduct of this war. The
Gold Coast is said to be the sickliest country
in the world. From its marshes and dense
undergrowth rise noxious vapors, whioh are
death to the white man, and during one
campaign an entire army was disorganized
' * >1 ?j j i 1 :.,i
oy me aeain anu uismay uauM-u ujr uiaiunui
fever.
The heat of the climate is also very oppressive,
and sun-strokes are frequent aud
fatal. Again, the enemy is troublesome to
fight. He hides himself in the " bush,"
which is very thick, and fires upon those
who are in search of him, often at a distance
of only a few feet. This sort of fighting
is very harassing, and demoraliiing to
the best troops.
But the English are determined to inflict
a summary punishment upon their pertinacious
foes, in spite of all obstacles, and they
will doubtless succeed. The Ashantees will
be taught, as was King Theodore of Abyssinia
and his barbarous people, that civilisation
and trade cannot be checked in their
onward career because savages wish to indulge
the instincts of their natare If they
will not become amenablo to reason, aniL
ibide by their treaties, they must expect, as
they will receive, such treatment as will
finally result in their extermination.
The latest intelligence is that the Ashantees
have beei^riven from the territory under
the jurisdiction of Great Britain, and
that vigorous preparations are being made
to carry the war into tne enemy a country.
The Slate Capital.
The Bill to repeal the Lien Law has fail.
:d in the House, so that, unless the Legisature
should conclude to review its action
it the present session, this law, about which
such a diversity of sentiment exists, will renain
in force. The Senate and the House
:annot agree upon a plan for adjusting the
)ublic debt, so that all financial matters
itill hang fire in the Legislature. Tim Hurcy
is still fighting the bogus claims against
he State. I To led a large caucus of the
neuibers of the House a few days since, at
rhich it was decided that no Bill to pay the
deht should be rtassed. until all claims
? ? r /
ind been thoroughly and satisfactorily instigated;
and then, that no claim should
)c paid except such as are indisputable.?
['he work of legislation is progressing very
lowly. Senator Patterson is kept constantly
n hot water. One warrant after another is
isued against him, upon affidavits of his
laving used bribery and corruption to obain
his seat in the I'nited States Senate.?
le is smart enough to disentangle himself
roui. the meshes which have been woven
or him, so far. The case of the Citizens'
'avinga Bank has caused an interesting
juestion of jurisdiction between the Stato
,lid l.Tnitcd States' Courts. Judge Oarpencr
granted a rule against the Bank to show
nuso why an injunction should not issue,
nd a Receiver be appointed.
The Bank, to avoid the process of the
'tate Court, went into iSankruptcy, ana
iimc?l over its assets to the Registrar of the
Inited States District Court. Judge Curtenter
decides that the jurisdiction of his
'ourt cannot be divested by proceedings in
bankruptcy, and has issued a rule, ngainst
he stockholders of the Rank, to show cause
rhy they should not be attached for conorapt
in disregarding his injunction, and
>lso a rule ngainst the attorneys of the Rank,
dessrs. McMnstcr & LeConte, l'ope K J
laskcll, and Rachuian Voumnns, to show
ause why they should not be debarred from
traeticing in his Court for contempt. Judge
bryan, of the I'ni'ed States-District Court,
ustains the jurisdiction of his Court, and
ius granted an injunction to restrain the
urther prosecution of the case in the Stale
'ourts. l'ho Supreme Court of tha United
States will have to decide betwcen.thcse conlicting
jurisdictions.
FOR THE JOURNAL.
The Exclusive Cultivation of Cotton
Sustaining Negro Suprem&oyThe
cultivation of cotton, to the exclusion
of those "necessaries" which s planter can
make himself, but tempted by the showy
promises of the "cotton crop" in favorable
seasont, has of late yours invariably neglected,
is bringing so much evil upon our people
that no warning can be too strong, against a
course, that must end in ruin to all concerned,
and intensifies the fearful curse that
is upon us, in the form of negro domination;
and worst of all. is threatening the degradation
of the white man, who, in many cases,
seems disposed to swim with the tide, and go
drifting along, the weak with the wicked,
until no such thing as public opinion is left,
and every man makes the best bargain ho
can, and congratulates himself that whatever
becomes of his neighbor, he at least is
well out of it?condoning at first what he
knows to bo wrong, on the scoro of expediency,
and at last, on the same plea,
takes a hand, and to keep the rascal and
scalawag from getting all the good things
that are agoing, becomes a first-class rascal
and scalawag himself.
But this is, by the way, to come back to
our first proposition, That the "exclusive
cultivation of cotton," is the perpetuation of
negro supremacy. Look at the fields of cotton
around us, whitening in the sun and rain,
wasting in quantity and quality, this cotton
that cost so much money, and so much care
and trouble to make, merely to debauch the
negro, by tompting him to steal instead of
making it, and the white man as well, who,
mannor o fVmiiannrt liniM f.htn f.hfl icrnuMnt
black, buys tho "stolen cotton," knowing it
to be stolen, and then cheats him out of the
earnings of his rascality.
We are not attempting to struightcn the
morals of either black or white humanity;
that the black inscal should steal the cotton,
and the white rascal should buy it, arc things
to be expected, aud not to be wondered at,
and suppose it is all as it should be, if they
have the chance of doing it, but why give
them the chance ? Why plant cotton, that
the one is going to steal, and the other is
going to buy ?
We know the colored individual well,and
know he is not a bad fellow according to his
lights, if he does steal cotton and rote for
Moses, the last the greater offence against
law, religion and common sense of the two.
A man, I mean a black one, might steal cotton
from his stand point, and sustain a protty
fair average as to character in some things,
but he must be either a fool or a rascal to
f i? i i -v
go (iQ voting ior one wnu hob lwuu cucuuug,
is chcijjn?^2*d by force of character and
cii i iiiii prron cheating TiUUj'Tir
tbc ernly ^he . gliuatly farce,T^now performing
on gie boards at Columbia
We t^ll assume the premise, for we may
as well so, that, the opportunity given, the
cotton w>il be stolon.
Take one of the old plantations where
onoc lived some two hundred, well cared for,
well disciplined men, women and children.
There uiay hang about the place, if the settlement
is a '-good one," lightwood knots
plenty, and the ' well" not too deep, and tho
owner of an easy disposition, almost as many
now; such a place under tho old regime,
would huvo for field work something like a
hundred full task hands, now probably furnishing
some 20 or 2f> hands in eonfnet,
' who engage to work the crop, for the proprietor
on a various footing, either wages,
share of the crop, or "time work," each having
an "outside crop," as it i3 called. The rest
of the population of the plantation lie around
and hang back for the extra work, and above
all the cotton picking. Then the "outside
crop" coines to the front, as we heard an
old planter say of one of his more enterprising
"cruppers." "He . plant* an acn,
makes a shirt-tail full, and tellt a bag."
Allow that it will be stolen, how will laseniug
the amount planted prevent its beirg
done ?
Less cotton lessens the "area," it is casiff
looked after, the longer it stays in the fielt
the more it is stolen and wasted. Lessen th?
crop, and you increase the picking force am
that takes it out of the field.
With the knowiedgo that there is as much
cotton to be picked au will last him unti
Christmas, ho takes it easy. Why should
he hurry himself? Raising wages does no
good, fifty cents u hundred gives him as
much money ns he needs, and only work four
days in the week, and not pick over 125|(
pounds of cotton a day. Raise to 75 cents,!,
he would only work throe days, and at $1.50
it is likely lie would only work one day in ]
the week. IIis wnots are few, and our cli- '
mate is mild, bread and meat are easy to get, \
and if a man has all he wants, why should i
he do more? flood, excellent philosophy for 1
him. but it gives a passive strength that
makes him most formidable in the eternal *
antagonism, that exists between capital nnd
labor. :
Lessen, then, the need of him; do not |
plant ''cotton" to be wasted and stolen, that i
you intended to buy "corn, meat, sweet potatoes,
flour, rice, butter, poultry," and all
the rest with. Make them, ifyour business
is that of a farmer. All these may be Hiolen,
samcwhat, we allow, but not to the degree
that cotton is, nnd they cost less, if you lose
them. See the condition of the cotton plantor
to-day. Middling cotton is selling in
Camden at 12J cents?will that pay, after
counting every thing? Think of the notes
for fertilizers falling due on the first and
fourth of November, the thousands, yea
tens of thousands of dollars to be paid for
this single item. The cotton that will be forced
on the market to meet it, for which there is no
help, for we do not hold with those whothink
a man has a right to keep back cotton that
does not belong to him?and so the planter
"sits in the ashes," his corn to buy, his
mulos not paid for, and himself in no frame
of mind to fight the thousand and one devils
that rise around him. Yet, they must be
met, fought and conquered. The labor we
expend in making cotton for the "negro,"
and the " northern speculator," who regulates
its value by the millions he controls,
would, diversified, give every comfort, and
many luxuries. Our own hearts and heads
must do the rest.
Let us realize the fact then, that true respectability
does not consist in competing
in this, oar hour of trial, with any who may
cut a swell on " questionable thousands,"
gathered together in the general break-up
as best may be?but with high purpose, and
fixed resolve, endure troubles that we feel
are not of our own making, and must, like
all such trials, elevate and purify those who
are strong enough to be true to themselves.
VERITAS.
Tiik Political Reaction.?In noticing
the late elections the Boston Post says: ''The
result of the elections proclaim that the era
of frauds is drawing to a close. Incapacity
is to be allowed to plead no impudent excuses.
The Democracy arc in arms for the
redemption ot Constitutional Government.
Recruits from the people will now pour into
the Democratic Camp to serve for the war. It
is a war with every imaginablo form of corruption,
with ring monoplies, centralism, military
usurpation; bought legislation, salary
grabs and Credit Mobilier, and the power
tbat seeks the spoilation and debasement of
soveroign States of the Union. The call
goes out for a higher tone in the character
of the Administration. Better Statesmen are
demanded in Washington. The East and
West interchange judgments. A corrupt
and incompetent Administration stands rebuked.
The great Northwest is aroused,
and the Empire State reasserts her imperial
sway in politics. The deeps of corruption
and falsehood are at last broken up.
Leaving the Sinking Ship.?The Chicago
Stoats Zeitung, chief organ of the Republicans
of Illinois, thus announces its departure
from the Republican party: "The
causes from which the Republican party rose
have long ceased to oxist. By its stupidity
aud short-sightedness in stirring up dead issues
auew and reviving questions finally
disposed of, the Democratic party has kept
alive the Republicans compelling those German
Republicans who were so far from sincere
conviction to continue a repulsive alliance
with th? profownional t-'ntrli?li.apnal-.
mg Ropublican politicians But wittrtlnr
failure of the last attempt, made by Greeley's
nomination, for a reaction which would undo
the rights secured by the war, has disappeared
every reason for a connection that
can have no other object but to assist ungrateful,
double-faced English-speaking
scoundrels to profitable offices. The Illinois
Staats Zeitung, at least, will henceforth
have nothing to do with this sort of American
'Republicans,' and protests, hereafter
against the designation of 'a Republican
paper.'"
