as printers are always in want of copy,
they will insert Moloch with illuminated

so small. It is decided that such copy
is not available. Now the truth is that
Mohich is a snub nose, and the editor
has some of tho right s>rt, nt home,

as did the (ox, that the gripes arc sour.

The fact tint a committee of gentle
men, representing tho aristocracy of old
families and State Bights, is now in
Washington supplicating for redress by
the interference of the gonoral govorn
mcnt, tolls the whole sad story of op
pression and humiliation it is not a

W-e believe every count in their indict,
mcnt of the colored majority in South

from tho domination of dopravicy and
ignorance. Tho outlooks seems hope
I less. How a State thus afllictnd may
be restored to n healthy condition is a
question demanding the sorious con
sidcrntion of etuteainoo. Wo are not
surprised to find the sufTorors proposing
quack rcmcdios for tho disease; but
with all sympathy and concern for the
patiout it is the duty of the wiso physi
eian to deny the request. The proposi
tion of the South Carolina memorialists
as expressed by individual members is
that the i < onnstruet ion acts bo to amend
ed as to wrest the Statu from the hands
of the colored majority now in power,
and place it under tho control of the
taxpayers and the educated class. It is
always dosirable that intelligence and
respectability shall rulo ; but it is not
right that even this good end should
bo accomplished by overriding the
popular will by congressional interfer

should be set, oven for a good purpose ;
nud if such a precedent already exists,
it should not be followed If this plan
I is adopted in South Carolina, it would
seem to justify not a few of the politi

Southern States, odious in the eyes of

legislation is not the proper remedy for
political wrongs. If tho distressed

W.AT TO Do!
[From the Springfield (Mass.) Republican.]
The story of the prostrate State bus
becu told too often an 1 too fully in these
columns tu need another retelling. It
is a pitiful story, u shameful story. It
hns about it something at once of the
hideous unreality and tho sickening
oppressiveness \of the nightmare. lr
docs not Bceu?poisible, w<t can hardly
b_ring otirsejj&cfifc.te be'in*,. that ?utl. a
story cau be trVhfully told of an Am >ri
cau CommoniSnilth, one of th* Old
Thirteen, theoraticul'y thi sistor and
equal of Maaxwfhusetts. Theovideuco,
however, is too voluminous, coherent
and cumulative to admit nf d iubt. To
all tho other proof*, a fresh .md convinc
ing one is now added in the spectacle of
the white citizens of t ho State, tliu ex
slareholder.? and ex-rebels, begging at
the hands of a Republican President
and a Republican Congress the boon
of a Fedcrul intervention These men,
not so very long since, were the ierces
sticklers fur State rights to be found in
the country, as their fathers and grand -
fathers had boen before them. They
would have gore to the death soonor
than tolerate anj intermeddling on the
part of the general government in the
internal affairs of South Carolina. Now
they invite .and even implore it. Tho
faot is more eloqtent than anything in
their memorial. * * * The appeal
to the Federal authority having proved
a failure, the question recurs, What to
do? Two cnuues aro open to these
South Carolina tax-payers. We assume
that an armed ri?ng agaiust the existing
State Government is out of tho question.
The first of thete courses is, to organize
a passive, peaceable robcllion ; in other
words, to refuse to pay their taxes, after
tho Louisiana jrecodent. Some of tho
delsgatos are quoted \* baring told'.he
House committee that this plan wotld
be tried, unless relief wis speedly forti
coming. Tho idaa ii, of course, o
coerce Congross into diing what it wi 1
not do voluntarily The a loption of
this plaj would, of necessity, cau*
great confusion and excitement in th
State; it might easily load to bloodshed
even if it did not, it might not prove s<
fcasiblo end efficici mi as those whe
favor it profoss to believe. A mud,
bettor and safer plan, as it sooms to us
will be to steadily and hopefully per
severe in the path upou which they have
already entered; undisc-mragod by the
disappointment aud meagre rosults of
the past, to redouble their ofTorts to
secure the confidence of tho colored
voters, dctaoh them from the carpet
baggers nnd the scalawags, and educate
thorn in the duties of citizenship. Con
oiliatiorJ, education?in those two words
lies tho hope of South Caroliua. The
ox slaveholders have alroady mado a
good beginning in divesting thomsolves
of muoh of their old partisanship and
prejudice of ruco1 Their bott and ro js t
hopoful plan is to go straight ahoad in
this line. Tho circumstances and con
dition.! aro more favorable than over
before. Lot the taxpayors bo of good
courage. They havo reaped tho harvest
from a bad sowing. Lot them now sow
kindness instead of contempt, sympathy
instead of arrogance-, justice instead of
oppression. This seed, too, always comes
up. Thej nhall reap in due season, if
they faint not.
The Charleston News And The
Tax-Payers' Convention.
V
[From tho Greenville Republican J
There are some lessons to bo derived
from the late gathering at Columbia
which called itself tho Tax-payers'
Convention, which it would be well for
the peoplo of this State to take to
heart.
Ono of these lessons is, put not your
faith in the Charleston News and Cour
?ei*l Now, wo do not mean by this to
say that the news columns of this sheet
are unreliable, or that it habUuilly aud
willfully misleads its readers. But what
we do mean to say is, that no faith can
bo placed in the polities! course of this
paper.
Why, in this yoar of Grace, 1801, wa
find it making fierce assaults on tho
Executive, legislative aud judicial
branches of tho State government; we
see in foremost in its attacks on the so
called 'Printing ring;' we heir it* th an
ders of denunciation aguiust oorruplion
in the Republicau uarty and every little
while feeding its vanity by publishing
some complimout of itaelf, written by
some innocent country mau who really
believes that the Act? and Courier
moans what it says.
But there are some among tho people
of both parties in this State who have
lougcr memories than these same flat,
tcrers to the News and Courier's vanity!
There are lomo of us whose memories
go back to a period earlier than the
year 1873, and who can recall some of
the events of the years 1871 and
1872.
We belong, unhappily, to this num
ber. We recall the days when the
Charleston Areics w?s the odieial 'organ'
of Charleston enmity; when it publish od
the law? of the State as advertisement!,
for which it charged lullrato?; whon it
roared out as mildly as any sacking dovo
at the patient wrongs of tho Republi
can administration of that day because,
forsooth, it fed on the pap from the
public trea>ury.
Pretending t<> boa Djirocrttio organ,
and thf muuthpi tit nil thai"" Was pcU
ticallj ,";onc<t aud virtnm in these days,
it was content to be in tho pay of a rio
pubMcau adntiniatrati m and maintain ; I
di.u.v?i uUcuia: ?u >>"?? as alienee -waa
profitable.
And during the campaigu of 1872,
when the merit? and demerits of the
rival Republican candidates lor State
ofliei r* wetc thoroughly discussed, on
which aide was the xVetc* found? On
the s itle of the present State administra
eion, which it is uow arraiugning!
The editors of that sheet knew per
fectly well in tit j sum uer of 1372, what
would piobahly be the udmiuiatration
which it helped to elect. Helped, do
wu say? Aye, which did more tu elect
the preaeut State government tbau any
one agenoy in the Stato!
lion many timos did it declare its
ohuico to be the candidate! w'.io vmt a
elected, rather than tho candidates who
?oi.ltod' the r.gulur Republican ticket,
and how its lead was followed by almost
every uthcr conservative or Democrat
paj er in the State !
But (hat tight is over, and those of
us who were 'bolters' have profited by
the lesson of that campaign. The News
then had its way. In less than two
ye i a it i- fierce iu its attacks on its own
State government.
Its editor-in.chief goes to the Tax
payers' Convcnti >n and denounces the
wrongs which, if they aro real, ho did
ni >ro to fasten on the people of this
State thar any uther man in it holding
similar position; and if they are "not
real, it is wortc than puerile to cry and
lament over.
He can not plead ignoranee of what
would bo the probable conduct of the
Stato government. He knew what was
the past history of its members, and from
that could tell what'its future career
would bo. II the 'Printing Ring4 is a
swindlo and a wrong in 137-1, it was one
in 1871 2; but the yews said nothing
tagainst it then | Why ? Let the vouch
er? in tho State troatury auswer !]
What evideuco has tho Sews and
Courier furni-hed that it will stay in
tho path of'reform' which it has opened
up, or that it will not, itself fall before
allurements of place and power f
Let the people of this State consider
his question well before they submit to
ts dictation or guidance Is there auy
ublic question on which it ] has had a
ted opiuion during the last four or five
^ars?
\Politically, has it not alternately
pined and coodemed the Republican
abinistrations of this Stato, both with
r4un and without reason I*
las it not advocated Northern immi
giion with one breath and denounced
evy Northern Republican as a thieving
cau beggor with its next ?
Is it not been a false prophet and
a bid guide to J honest seekers af ter
trutin tho past, and has recent course
beetuch as to mako it worthy to stand
as a true) prophet and au infulliblo guide
tow?
We don't ice the ovidonoe yet to con
vinoe us of its fairness or sincerity. It
still savors of the unwound nogs of 1871,
1872 and 1873, and wo suspeot that it
is even now trimming its sails eo as to
bo ready to profit by sush windfalls as
the campaign of this year may throw in
its way.
Would that it were otherwise; would
that we might hare in our coutempjra
ry a political opponent which was all
that it demands in the way of honesty
and fair dealings from tho Republican
party of this State. But to long as its
course continues to be what it has been
in the past, so long must we refuse to
accept as oracles the words of advice
which come to us thruu gh its editorial
columns.
