C. | UitAi-ioiciUjitu, ti. Nov. 2U. ItiSO. A Nation. The Sonlh has freqncnlly l)oen as sured by the Northern press and Re publican speakers that this country is a Nation. No convenient opportuni ty is allowed to pass without an ef fort to impress this idea upon the minds of our citizens. They are ex horted to suffer by-goncs to be by gones, to lay aside the old and cher ished opinions of our fathers, to lake. ' hold on the hew ideas of the present and to keep pace witli the future pro gress'of the nation. Imlced there is 1 too much zeitl Uud earnestness mani ? feslcd by our Northern Republican ndviscrs in the matter to be no ulte rior design than that which appears upon the surface. If this political idea can, by any means, be ingrafted upon the sentiment of tho people and .? throngh them upon the government, then the notion of a Federal Union of States will be destroyed and with it the correlative notion of state ' (rights or local slate governments? the characteristic doctrine of Dumoe racy and "of true Republicanism. To ?effect Ibis the Republican parly re sorts to special pleading and the use of insidious cases and thus, if possi ble, embody Hie political sentiment of the country in the one concrete no tion of nation. The poverty of Gen. Grant and the good will of the masr ses for his future welfare, afford Re publican politicians the desired op portunity and hence we see a propo sition made to pension ail living cx I'rcsidcmts for life. This scheme meets with little opposition even at the South, because of ils plausible fentores and a disposition on the part of our people to exhibit a wil ^lingness.to accede to a proposition so seemingly just and innocent, made by the JSorth._S^tyKr~pf-~ Wf ~}t^Vng journals support it warmly, and even point out the advantages of the act. Upon the heels of this comes an amendment, not to pension Hie cx Preeidents, but to make them life members of the Senate with double Iho salary of an acting Senator. If this amendment lake the place of the original proposition and be adopted by the representatives of tho States in Congress, then will the attempt to ingraft the political idea of "A Na lion" upon the government bcaccom-j plished and centralism a fixed fact. . The Nation will acquire the right ol representation in Congress?a right it,did not before possess?which will make it really a Nation. Such acon . summation would be the destruction of the cardinal doctrine of Democra cy, the establishment of an Aristoc racy and the entering wedge to an , /Imperial Government. Is the country ready for tho (dmngc ? A Reported Exodus. It eecma ns if the rcsulla of Iho late '?emotion nave given a new impetus to, tho exodus movement among the col ored, people, as'J it is thought that during the present winter large num bers will leave from various parts of the. South* With this object in view, ' secret Organization? are being formed atid funds collected in all the South ern Stales. Neither.Liberia nor In diana, tliis time, teems to be the 'point of destination ; but New Mexi co and other.South-Western territo ries holdout more inviting fields and .aliprd better opportunities for the colored man to work out his future destiny. Without calling in question the wisdpm.of the movement or the sincerity of those under whose an apices it is conducted, we would simply caution the coloicd people of Oraneeburg to be careful into whose hands they place their hard earnings. They have been duped and used as tools long enough by designing men lobe wis i' and better economizers I than this scheme seems to indievtle. i Thhl a leinovnl will be beneficial to.' many coloiod people can sea eely he doubled when it is estimated how many are living in idleness hole and in the daily practice1 of the IoWchi' vices for a iving hol h about the towns .and i i the rural district* of Our conn try. A removal or a change in the mcdeft of life will soon become nbso-j lately, necessary. The civjlizntion und progiess of the white rftco will demand it. Already a sentiment, I even at the North, is rapidly obtain ing which will finally demand tbo su jprcmncy of the white over the colored I race, and the consummation of this demand is not very distant in the fu ture. If a removal to tbo West orj cine where rs adjbdgod to l>c the rem edy, then tliere is one principle in 1 Ethnology vvbicb demands the con sid^ntjou fjf ^4lP Jcolored people: No iufei ior race has ever been civili zed, or if civilized, has ever main tained its civilization, without con tact with the while race. The destiny of a race is too impor tant a matter to be trilled with on the merest pretenses. . ? - ? m * ? A First Class Listener. General Gar field, the President elect, says that for the next few months be intends to be "a first-class listener'' lo the multitude of advisers who press about him with their kind offices. This is certainly refreshing lo ConUling, Cameron ob Co., who expect to have u controlling influ ence upon Ibc next administration. Whether General Gailielil possesses the firmness'to shape bis own course remains lo be seen. He will certain ly have the best opportunity to hIiow it; and his intimate friends say no President ever entered upon the office "more free from entanglements of every sort" than lie. There are grounds lo believe, and General Gar field knows it, that the efforts of Gen eral Grant's friends Jonkod"jnoro" to the hitler's candidacy in 1884 than lo General Gar field's election In 18S0. This maj- give him an independence which will make bis administration more liberal than that of Mr. Ilayesor any of his Republican predecessors. At all events the South has nothing to lose and much to gain byjnti inde pendent administration. . . ?Ii ? - ? The Charleston Fair. j The Industrial Ex hi hi I ion <vf the Agricultural Society of South Caro lina will be opened at the Society's new hall in Charleston on the Gib and closed on the 17lb of December next. The success of previous exhi -r---r"-v*--i? - ~^r-?^ onions and the many new and at tractive features offered by the socie ty Ibis year warrant ihe expectation of a large crowd of visitors from every section of tlio Stata. Indeed more extended efforts have been made by the Board of Directors to make this Pair a most gratifying success than ever before. Besides the inducements held oul by the Board, the low raits of travel on railroads and steamboats arranged for this occasion, will, at tract thousands of our citizens to visit the city both for sight seeing and business transactions. The mid dle of the business season, the uear uppronch of Christmas and the at trac tions of the Industrial Exhibition com bined, will make a visit to Charleston during the ten days of the Fair espe cially profitable lo our citizens. Why tho South is Solid. The South has been mrtdc solid by the bittor experience she has bad of Radical rule. This makes it abso lutely impossible lo';*8urrender) her SAatc Governments to unrpci-bag and negro rule ; and to continue that so lidity needs only a polid negro vote, while lo In oak it needs the withdraw al of the carp<tL-hapgcr from politics with bis poisonous influence nod a di I vided negro vote. In self-defense only is the?Soulli solid ami must con | linue so for years lo en me. The Outrage Mill. The outrage mill has commenced I operations in Orangeburg County, i ami no Democrat need he surprised il j be bw hauled up before his Honor, j Abial Latinpp, whether be is guilty 'of any crime or not. An rtflldavi' sworn lo by tbo most ignorant and corrupt negro is sullieient in the eyes of this would be judge to commit tho most lcspectablo citizen in the coun 'ly to jail. Let him drive, ahead, wo ?shall see what we nhuil see. . Quite a litimber of Democratic I mechanics, nuichants and others ' have nidified the central Democratic committee of Now York that they will have nothing more to do with' .lohn Keih or any stale or National j Convcnlion in which he is peruii.lled u) exercise any control. His old followers' nVe abandoning Mui audit is tune f if the Democratic party to do so. Whiskey. Quite a novel, us well as impres sive, scene was witnessed in tfio City Gou noil Chamber of Charleston on Tuesday night last. . Nrs. Leonard Chapin heading a delegation of twelve ladies and accompanied by Rev. Messrs. Srovens nnd Veddcr presen ted to tho council a petition thirty yards long, bound with silk and sigh ed by q,0p0\ ladies, citizens of Char leston, against liquor licenso and praying the Council to prohibit tho manufacture and sale of intoxicating drinks within the limits of the city. Mrs. Chapin made a short, pointed and boauliful address in presenting the petition and ended her remarks with these very siguilicant 'words : 'If the poor drunkard cannot enter the abode of the blest what must become of thoe.c wJin srll nutj those who, license the sale of liquor." Tho petition was referred to a spicial committee of three to make a suitable reply to the ladies, The mayor frankly.confcsscd that we were utterly powerless to pre vent the landing on our shores, the sale and tbe di inking of liquor by legislation. Another Count. It seems as if the Republican lend ers of the North cannot accept as truth the large increase in the popu lation of South Carolina. They have so constantly protested ngainst ila acceptance that Commissioner Walk er, at the suggestion of President Hayes, has sent expert enumerators here with instructions to go from house to house and sec if the names reported oii the lists can be found. It is easy to accept the Radical farce of 1870 as truth, but uot the Demo cratic reality. Wc hope after this new investigation the Stalwarts will be satisfied. Sound Advice. Mr. Ii. P. Chalfield, a Northern settler in Aiken, and recently an elector on the Republican ticket in this State, advises the negroes "to keep out of politics, work, economize, accumulate properly, educate their children and show to the world that they arc able to compete with the white race in business." By this he does not mean they should Uot vote,: [.bjtL-voJLc.ouly-f-t^r. comiu^nV>uwnv| How different is this from the wild fanaticism of Rev. A. Webster, who would advise the colored roan to his utter undoing in order that he, Web-1 slcr, might grow fat on the spoils. Tue Legislature met in Columbia on last Tuesday n little nfler 12, m. In the Senate Hon. D. Witherspoon was elected temporary President; Mr. T. Stobo Farrow, Clerk ; and Col. A. D. Goodwin, reading clerk. In the House the Hon. J. C. Shop pard was re-elected Speaker; Mr. John T. Sloan re-elected Clerk ; and R. M. Anderson reading Clerk. There were no protests filed from any of the counties and the two branches of tho General Assembly proceeded at once to business. Quite a number of bills has already been introduced looking to action on the election law, registration of voters, nnd carrying concealed deadly weapons. The present spirit of the members seems to indicate a session of work and huairtPRti- GoV. JctcrV m"S3*>>? Vtji3 received; read and properly roter red.
