WINNSB3ORO, 8. C. THURSDAY, 'EDIRUAR Y 20, 1870. R. 1KrAN DA 1IS, EDrron. JNO. 8. RE ENOLDS. ASSOOIATh E oTO.. DUING A HxtCENT debate in the House, the Southern Democrats put themselves on record as opposed to var claims, and Colonel Aiken made a very effective speech which was loudly applanldtel. I'r Is A STANlE co-incidence that during the debate in the Senla to over the bill to restrict Chinese immigra tion, a colored m an, Bruce, of Mis sissippi, occupied the Vice-PresideIt's chair. This is the first time, too, that a colored man has cver presided over the Senate. WJ DO NOT REGRET having coin mented on Major Woodward's con inunication regarding phosphates, as we evoke d an interesting and instruc tive reply. Nor was it intended to mn isrepresentt Major Woodward's posi tion as to the value of phosphates, nor, more especially, to take up the cudgels in behalf of the nanutatur ers. When we asked for a discussion we simply wanted light on an import ant matter about which we knew nothing. Our reading of the first let ter led us to think that Major Wood ward argued that phosphates were an injury to land, as they stimulate it unduly and exhaust it prematurely. The second letter explains his idea so that all must comprehend it. As to the Democratic clubs, Major Wood ward's letter was subject to the con struction we put upon it. His ex planation meets our cordial approval. After the clubs h-ve adjourned, genl eral discussion of gentlemen present, on matters not gcrmane to politics, cannot fail to be of benefit. As to the offensive odor Democracy possessed several years ago iti the nostrils of "some of our people," we have noth ing to say, as the remark does not apply to us. In conclusion, we will be glad to hear from Major Wood ward on any subject, political, agri cultural or piscatorial, whenever lie wishes to give the results of his ex perience and research. The Chinese Must Go. A bill forbidding American vessels to import more than llfteen Chinamen at a time to this. country has passed both houses of Congress and is under consideration by the President. It is a Democratic measure, but many Radicals got aboard the train in order to make capital for their party on the Pacific Coast. Matthlews and IIamilin, alone ini the Senate, spoke against thle bill, but a nlumber of Rlepubhlicans wished to give six months notice be fore repeali.ng the treaty. The debate in the Senate was interesting. The sp)ectacle of such Rfadicals as Blaine and Sargent, after howling over~ the rights of tihe blacks, faking thle back track and p)ictutrinlg tihe horrors of stockiiiK ly Pacific Coast with an inferior race was cal c ulated to maike thle ghost of Sumner weep. And when Sargenit Inthniated that unless the Chinese go, troops will bo nleededl in five years to reconlstruct California, treason seemed for a moment to rear its horrid crest as inl dlays whe'n Toomlys thlreatenled to call the roll of his slaves at the foot of Bunkcr Hill Monument. Senator Hoar inldeed asserted that Sargent was going over the same talk that the slaveholdlers used for two generations,' and ex-. p)ressed his disgust''thereat. Bunt Sargent wants oillcc, and knowvs that a friend of the Chlnamen stands no chance with Dennis KCearney's hood lums, and lhe threw consistency to the dogs. Yet, if every China man in Amoica avere enfranchised to-mnor. row, Cjalifornla wvould not be in near so bacta predi9ainent as South Caro lina was when Sargent voted to send troops down to reconstruct her. The Riadical quacks do not like their own medicine, History, with relentless love of truth, Is gradually vindicating the South, and befbre the lapse of many years her true position in re gard to the wvar and to Reconstruction will bo known and generally ap proved. Whether the Chinese bill will be co a'law, or whether it will pro duce substantial fruits, is not known, but its passage is gratifying, as show ing that tihe drift of public opinion is inclining to the old Democratic doc trine, that this is a white man's gov ernment;' and that, wvhile all mon shall )iave justice dono. thor, the Caucaian~ race must ;have the cona trolling voice in the government.

'grat~ problems which'' p1-ebsiftgly~ 'drai'nd sohution thabeing ennrine4 In tJ ara Anethcan Review by prominent lead erA of the two great national parties attracts the greatest -interest.. It Is based on two propositions which have direct relation to tho political status of the negro. ''Ought. the negro to be lisfranchised?" "Ought he to have. been enfranchised?" The New York hIerald savs: The chanpiols in this strange con test are AIessrs. Bluino and Mont gomniery lair, Lamar, Stephens, Wen dell Phillips, llendricks, Governor llanmpt.ont and Genleral Garfield. It was to be expected that Messrs. Blair and Phillips would represent the extremists in the contest, if such It can be termed, but the public were iot prepared for such a unanimity of sentiment as has been displayed by the others in rendering a negative to the first proposition and an anlirmative to the second. But the reasons ad vanced by these gentlemen for such conclusions are widely dii'erent. Mr. Blaine contends tihe negro should not be disfranchised because his right to vote is the only protection het has against the schemes of his late master, who n1aturally seeks to recover the control of the colored man lost by the acts of' enmanicipation and enf'rainchise ment. lie contends that if the negro is deprived of his right to vote lie will sink back into a condition of moral i'responsibility and practical slavery, f'rom which the influence ofhis politi cal power has raised him. Mr. Lamar claims that the colored man's political rights must be mail tamed, because they have taught him who his true friends are-namely, the Southern whites, and that he is being educated out of a state of political slavery, which the Republican party enacted as the price of his physical Ciancilationl, and which is as bad in every sense. )isfranchisemenmt, lhe says, is an inmpossibility now. The negro has learned that ho was a power between the Democrat and Republi can. lie is now learning that he is a power between Democrat and Demo crat. In other words, Mr. Lamar exults that the scheme of negro en franchisement has resulted to the utter coni'usion of its authors and that the South will now wield it for South ern purposes as eflectually as the carpet-baggers did at one time for their party. General Garfield contends that be twceen slavery and full citizenship there was no middle ground. Con gress was therefore compelled to choose between a policy which would have made the negro the permanent ward of the nation or to place in his own hands the legal and political imeanls of self-defence. Mlr.1). 1. Chamberlain also ap pears with at very elaborate and pol ished article Qi the success of Recon struction in South Carolina, which reminds one of the Irishnmau's horse as soon as it learned to live without eating it died. After swamping the State, ruining the taxpayers, and dis gltsting the world, Reconstruction under Mr. Chamberlain of course was on the point of becoming a dis tinguished success, when Ilih)apton's rille clubs inconsiderately and brutal ly br'oke upi the experiment. To say that Mmr. Chanmberlaini all thi'ough is SOp)his5tical, plausible and utterly re gardless of' the truth, is but to do hinm justice. Hie can tell a falsehood, however', with such coui'tly grace that he is hangeous.
