The devil- but hot, unfortunately, I till his works?is to hi- abolished. His Satanic Majesty is to bo wiped out, and a nice phrase s ?bst ii uted for him that can oll'cud nobody. Wher ever in the old version of the Bible, the devil, or sntan, or Lucifer, or Heely.ebub occurs, l he revisers have softly substituted Ilie term, ''the spirit of, or the disposition to. evil." Tliey have thus cut the ground from under Hob 1 nger.-olI's forward feet, and left hi in nothing to talk about and ridicule. Heil, the existence of w hich Hob Ingersoll denies, is, of eonrse, also shut up and voted obso lete, for what is the use of a hell without a devil? Hereafter, when profane pers?us w ish to tell other people lo go to I he internal regions, they will lieobliged lo say: "Ho to tbe original source of the condition of. or disposition to, evil;" and any man who can swear in that style satisfactorily to himself, or w ith the desired eticct upon others, deserves a prize dictionary ami ? leather medal for his proficiency.

There is no question Unit the great subject that is now quietly agitating the minds of t|iiliking men is the plan by which good government is to be continued in .S'>n;li Carolina. The ignorant ami prejudiced colored man will not vote with the white peojjle. That is a settled I act. Persuasion and argument has been tried so long without effect that it. is now cast out of the category of possibilities, Vio lence will not do. We Cannot start a volcano tu our midst. Fraud can not (ind a permanent lodgment in our political system. It is contrary to the moral sense of our people, But there is another plan. It is now under the Consideration of a Com mittee of the Legislature, and will bo carefully digested. It is the system of an educational qualification. It was thought that this plan was con trary to the spirit and letter ot tho Reconstruction; Col. MtGrndy, tho author of the 1 ill before the Legisla ture, has however argued the matter to the satisfaction of ispine (if bur best thinkers, ?:<d Mr. Meniingcr and others arc how of the opinion that the law does conic within the pale of the Constitution. |t is argued that the same Cohstitidh that provides that no one shall be deprived of tho right to vote, also provides that elec tions must be by ballot, and a ballot being necessarily a secret vote, eaeli voter must be aide to distinguish the names 0:1 his ballot, for if he shows it to another in ascertain tho names for hiir, he violates 1! e ballot. If this plan is adopted, it will be in ihimita tion of /Massachusetts and other Northern States. It is thought too that qualified suil'iagc would be an additional incentive to learn to rear] and write, and that as the public schools are open to all. none need be deprived of the suffrage. Every plan seems to us to be defec tive, hut when the choice is between Traudj violence or qualified suffrage, we certainly decide in favor of the latter.
