IV? ore in tio tray resjionsiblc for the witvs or opinions of our Cotrespomienls. Goy. Chamberlain has ordered both tho negro militia and the riflo clubs iu Edge field to give up their arms. This is fair, and will be" so recognized by the tthito people. IJpon motion of Duncan of Orange burg, the bill, to make the offices of eouuty treasurer and county auditor elective, in accordance with tho recom mendation of Governor Chamberlain, was indefinitely postponed. This is just as wo predicted. The republican pnrty is thoroughly alive to the necessity of making some show of reTotiu for self-preservation, but that samo self love will hold it back from any act, like this, which will re sult in any advantage to the conserva tives. It will be readily seen that the passago of this bill would give a con servative treasurer and audiior in every county in which the whites arc in n majority, where, under iho ap pointing system, all will be republican. In tho samo way we do not expect to see Governor Chamberlain's recom mendation in reference to minority representation carried out. Leslie says "tho republican party would be a fool to give away its pa tronage;" but we don't know but what the white people arc greater fools to expect it. By an examination of statistics it will be seen that the negro vote and republican vote in each county very nearly coincides, and the same may be said of the white and conservative vote. The only exception to this may be found in the last election in Charles ton aud Sumter counties, whero the whites and blacks went together, prob ably for the first time. It therefore appears from past ex perience that the blacks have voted as a race against the whites, and that if the latter wish an equal share in the government, they muni oo iiioroimn their number by IMMIGRATION, that the two races will be equal. Not un til then will there be a willingness for concessions on both sides, and conse quently an even chnnco for justice. Remedies suggested by nature arc al ways better than artificial ones, and should be resorted to, if wc have not given up our case in despair. JUDGE GREEN. The public will 1c pained to learn of the death of this prominent official at his residence in Sumter a few days ago. Judge Green will be chiefly remem bered ns the chosen representative of the independent element in the recent gubernatorial contest. So invulnerable was his record for honesty ?hat his political opponents could find nothing ngninst him, until their ingenuity brought to light that he had voted for tho black code, to which circumstance, above all others, his defeat may be attributed. His Charleston speech proved be yond question the justice of his caiisc, ns well as his fitness as its standard bearer. It was universally com mended, and will long be remembered. He is gone; but tho principles he represented must survive, unless the blacks persistently refuse to harmon ize with the whiles. Hon. Lewis Harbour, of Tennessee, has presented a petition to the bouse, signed by three hundred colored peo ple, who desire to have some portion of tho South set apart for their exclu sive use, with a similar protection by the United States government to that now given the Indian tribes in the south-west. This would certainly give a chance to test the question ns to whether the negro is capable of self-government. As 'ong as he is preyed upon and misguided by tlio scalawag and car pet-bagger, it is unfair to judge what ho would do, if left to himself. Doubtless if n portion of tho land was set n*idc for them they would soon occupy it of their own accord, and live more happily than bore, con tinually harassed as they must be by intriguing whito men, who aro only lining them ns vehicles to power. The separation of the two races would certainly he conducive to great-" er political hnrihonv and integrity. If the negroes can govern thorn selves it would certainly he a benefit to tliem on tho whole, for while they havo tho ascendency over the whites in South Carolina, they are complete ly under their control in Georgia, North Carolina and other Southern States. Wo believe tho whites would also, bo benefitled by being made nioiv. self reliant. We do not favor any precip itate action on the subject, but merely such an agitation of it ns may fully develop the sentiments of tho negroes of all the Southern States. Wo havo no reference, of course, to the Radical press which will doubtless vehemently oppose any such proposition. The Bchoinc is favored by Dr. Winkler and other ablo thinkers and writers. TIlE INVESTIGATING COMMITTEE - Up to this time we hear of no re poit from the committee appointed b}' the Senato to investigate the charges of Humbert against Senator Andrews. Th is is entirely too serious a matter to bo disposed of in this way. Thous ands of the people's money have boon stolen, for which ex-treasurer Hum bert has been sent to the penitentiary. Humbert, in his testimony con fesses t hut. I13 did not make his re turn to the State treasurer according to law; hut states in substance that Andrews was the cause of his failure, as he was using the money. The Senate committee was sent, as we understand it, to ascertain how much truth, if any, there may be in these allegations, and tho peoplo, whose money was stolen, have a right to know the result of their investiga tion. The charges arc too grave for Senator Andrews himself, if he is in nocent, to be satisfied with anything short of a speedy, clear and explicit report from the committee. Nothing else will satisfy the public. If he is innocent let him be cleared, and we will glorlly publish his vindi cation; but if he is guilty, the truth should bo known and justice douev Gen. M. C. Butler, whose house was burnt in Edgeficld, has fulfilled his promise to Judge Mackey to prove that the statement of Anderson Bassay that. Nod Tcnncnt ng'ruod to pivy Jack Bussay 8100 to do the burning, was made freely and without any undue influence. J. (J. Sheppard, tho notary public before whom Anderson Bussay's .state ment was taken, certifies that iL was made freely and, according to his own confession, without fear or compulsion. Wc think the republican party should be satisfied now, after the report of Judge Mackey, that the negroes are more to blaine for the disturbances in Edgeficld than tho Ku-Klux whites. GENERAL NEWS. The annual convocation of tho Grand Chapter of South Carolina will he hohlen in Charleston on Tuesday, 9th of February An accident occur-ed on the Savannah and Charleston, railroad on the 22d instant. Tho engine burst, and engineer Jlonnenu was ho seriously injured that his recovery is doubtful. The following democratic United State.? senators have been elected in the recent ejec tions: Bayard, of Delaware; Wallace, of Pennsylvania; McDonald, of Indiana; Kor nau, of New York; UeMcral Cockrell of Missouri; Andy Johnson, of Tennessee. A destructive fire occurred in Sunilcr on the 28th. Four of the largest stores in the centre of the town were burned down. The loss was probably $70,900. The insurance was, however, much heavier than in Or angchurg. The militia of Iloslon are making ar rangements to furnish a table for the ap proaching Fair of the Washington Light Infantry, shortly to be held in Charleston. The project is intended as an evidence of good will and sympathy, in which all the companies are heartily agreed. A Washington dispatch says: The "great iutimidator," as Senator Schurz called the President the other day, is still at work. It is reported to-night that the work of in timidating the press, begun r.t New York, is going on vigorously. The Cincinnati Times and a number of other Western news papers arc deprived of government adver tising by orders from tho White House Hon. Charles Francis Adams, of Massachusetts, says on Louisiana af fairs: "Let the conservative Legislature of Lou "isiana give solemn notice to the whole "world that they arc now subjected by force "to a usurpation, every act of which i* null "and void, and shall he so treated hereafter. "IM them publicly declare thnt so surely an "the day i !* relief comes, every debt con "traded by the usurping government t-had "!?.? repudiated, every tax litle i - m-d set "aside. Let them in one word publish to1 "the world tho existing administration of! "the Stnto as a fraud, by no act of which "will the people of Louisiana ho bound, bo "soon as they arc restored to tho control of "their own affairs." Ju?go Mackey, whom Governor Chamberlain sent to exam'::?.info Edgelield affaire and report to him, thus speaks: Suffice it now to say that, in my deliberate judgment no such iniquity as the f.^whly gov- I eminent of Edgcfldd has been inflicted upon I any portion of the English speaking rate since the Suxon uore the iron collar of the Norman. In that case, however, the harsh domination was that of a-superior civilization, which elevated while it chastened. In this it is the nitrse. This, he it remembered, is tho tes timony, not of n democrat, but of n stanch republican. RESOLUTIONS. At a meeting of the I. Y. A.
