then It v.prr lii'tter to throw the entire m-
sponsibility of governing ns upon those
who claimed to have vanquished us. Vi
olent opposition w ould tie impracticable,
but endtu-auce would be possible and
profitable at last. But it is the worst
misfortune of n people to atteinxt the
sham of seir-governiuent at the dictntion
of the vanquishers! Sneh a fiovernment
would be theirs, and yet they would force
us to declare it to lie ours a parailox at
once monstrous and corrupting. All dis
astrous consequences would he caused by
alien force ana fraud, and yet our people
would assume the respoaaibility. How
shall x answer the stiamefa! accusation,
when brought face to face with calamity,
that we brought it on ourselves as our
own act ? For such reasons, which we
have but imperfectly sketched, Mr. Ste
phens thought, and many porsons agreed
with him, that masterly inactivity was
inueea tne only cnanoe tor the preserva
tion intact of our self-respect.
Mr. Stephens is still of the opinion that
Cassive conduct is the better course. That
i: We should obey the laws and the Con
stitution as they stand and so long as
they stand, ne should olfer no violent
onMsltion to the authorities; but, while
obeying them, no affected approval should
oeuiveu of anvthing we believe to be
wrong. The ballot !ox. much as it has
been abused, is still potent for the cnr of
political evils. To doit wo should look
for a restoration of liberty. We should
co-operate only with those who reiogntze
the sovereign right of local self-government
by the people in their respective
oommonweaiuis wnetnor these call
themselves Democrats or by anv other no
menclature, lly such a course, the day of
our redemption may nnally arrive. Hut
it can never come in any other way. The
principle of local self-government, as a
sovereign right, was the foundation of
American Independence. Massachusetts
was the first to start it. And the cry re
sondedlroin all theuolonios; "The cause
of Boston is the cause of us all ! " Even

freedom from the entanglements that
are and have been her bane and curse.
She must lie saved from exorbitant
shaves ot twenty and thirty per cent.

think the bondholder should be quite
well satisfied. He proposes now to
buy another batch of four millions at
sixteen and a half per cent., or a pre

It is unsafe for those to be reckless
in testifying who are careless of the
truth of their statements. And it ia
also a hazardous venture for two par
tisans to testify independently in re
lation to tne same lacts. A govern
ment officer sent to investigate certain
troumes in Hancock county, Georgia,
In his report says:
After careful inquiry, it is my Ann con
viitiou that the white citizens in the vi
cinity adjoining Hanns-k aud (Greene
counties are determined to drive away the
colored men lor the purpose of securintr
their share of ihn crrqm, and that to this
end a great many outrages ami murder
have been committed, and that no colored
man can sw-tire justice from the courts in
the nciglilsirho.nl.
And the Radical newspaper which
contains his report says editorially in
the same paper:
The plsnters in Warren county are it is
said, likely to lose the greater portion of
their, at lesl, scanty cotton croj tor want
of laborer to pek t heir cotton.
This county has the Been viable noto
riety of being headquarters of ku-Klux
desperadoes.
iu toe counties not infested bv these
villains laborers are plenty. This "is as we
expected, and the form of revenge being
taken by the colored men, in leaving the
ounty, is right.
The Augus'a Chronicle tutd Sentinel
comments as follows on these two in
consistent statements referring to tle
Mine section and people:
It is very clear that either tho state
ment of the olllcer or the editor is false.
One says the negroes have been 'driven off
by the planters, who thus secure the ne
groes' share ot the crop; the other says
the negroes leave to revenge themselves
upon the whites.
We have the best reasons for saving
tbst both statements art untrue. So
sane msn can believe that planters would
drive off their labor at a time when it is
more indispensable and more valuable
than at any other period of she year, or
that the negroes themselves would, to
sny considerable extent, leave voluntari
ly and abandon their share of the crops.
When falsehoods are intended toaccom-
eUah a given result, thev should not only

oes and facts. Tbeibove are wapting in '

The majority of our people mat not
know that nearly all the laboring Chinese
who have come among ns as yet, belong
to the lowest class or ' coolies." At home
they are a class apart, and are looked

The carelessness of nurse maids, w hich

ourselves with servants of this class (and
a correspondent suggests in another col
umn a means whereby it may be done) we

munities. They would be a social and do
mestic boon.
A charge was circulated during
the war that certain silverware was
taken by Gen. Grant from the house
of Mrs. Cox, of Holly Springs. Upon
what authority the charge w as started,
we have never known. We liave re
cently seen a statement contradicting,
so far as the Grants are personally
concerned, and charging that the sil
ver was taken by the troojis as was
the common practice of the Federal
common soldiers wherever they went
in the South. Among the missing
articles was a silver waiter on which
w as engraved "Mary Annesley, I menhe stock of
175f," w hich was the property of Mrs.
Brewer, the daughter of Mr. Cox,
and grand-daughter of Mary Annhs-
ley. We -ubjoin the following in
teresting statement suggested by this
loss, which is taken from the Augusta
Chronicle and Sentinel:
Mary Annesley was the wife of General
William Moult! io he who planned, eon.
stnicted and successfully defended the
fortress on Sullivan's Island in lTTH from
the attack of the British licet and land
forces under Kir Henry Clinton, alter Alai.
Goa. Charles Lee had pronounced the
place indefensible and counseled its aban
donment. Who does not remember the reply of
Moultrie when Iee assured him that the
British llect would knock the fort to
pieces in thirty minutes." "Then," said
Moultrie, rising to the sublime granduur
of his noble character, "then we shall
light them behind the ruins;" and alter s
moment's panse c.ilmly said: " I am not
uneasy; we shall heat "them off." Moul
trie was right. This little fort, construct
ed of Paimotln logs and sand, which the
experienced Leo. pronounced " but little
lietter than a slaughter pen." successfully
resisted a fierce bombardment of more
than ten long hours.
At half past ten o'clock on tho morning
of the :2Sth of June, 177. the battle lsgun.
In the British llect. consisting of fortv or
fifty sail, began the attack bv a tierce" lire
on Moultrie's littlo work. The fort
mounted only thirty-one guns, and the
garrison consisted of four hundred and
thirty-five men, rank and file. The Brit
ish men-of-war mounted over three hun
dred guns ami the whole British force
was over live thousand men.
Ft was during this memorable fight that
a shot cut away the American flag, when
a shout went op from the British fleet,
who thought that Moultrie had surren
dered. Then it was that the heroic Jasner
mounted the ramparts and replaced the
under tlie concentrated lire of the
whole fleet,
in the afternoon. Moultrie's little sim
ply of ammunition having failed, he sent
to Lee, then in Charleston, looking on at
the apparently unequal contest, for more
Siwrfer. This request was refused, and
onltrie advised to spike his guns and
retreat. Gov. Kutledge, however, admir
ing the gallantry of the noble soldier, sent
him seven hundred pounds, and in a few
moments the little fort was again lielch
ing forth its deadly hail upon the British
fleet. Then the enemy's tiro Lean n
slacken, and in a few moments the whole
lleet Is-ufHii to retire except the Acteon. of
iciu -cigiu guns, wmcn, inning heconie
disabled, was abandoned bv her crew and
set on fire. The American loss was eleven
killed and twentv-slx wounded. The
British lost in killed and won nded. two
hundred and twentv-five.
Mary Annesley. 1753." These simnle
words start a t rain of thought which must
thrill with pleasurable emotions every
Amorioaii bosom. Mary, the loved and
trusted wife of the great ami good Moul
trie, how dour her memory to all her de
scendants, and how poignant must be
their grief at the loss of this little waiter,
a dear relic of the misty past, which hears
un Its time-worn surface those simple
words. " Mary Annesley, 17."' .."
Many of the descendants f'Mary An
nesley live in this State, some of them in
this city; what would thev not give for
the recovery of tho little "waiter which
