ALL POLITICAL DISTINCTIONS ON ACCOUNT
OF COLOR ABOLISHED.
Thc following is thc message sent by Presi?
dent Grant to Congress on Thursday, accompany?
ing the proclamation of the Secretary of State,
publishing the ratification of the Fifteenth amend?
ment to the constitution by twenty-nine States:
Message of thc President.
To u&Scnatc ant House of Representatives :
It is unusual to notify the two houses of Con?
gress, by message, of thc promulgation by pro?
clamation of thcSccretary or State of thc ratifi?
cation of a constitutional amendment. In view,
however, of thc vast Importance of the Fifteenth
amendment or the constitution, this day declared
a part of that revered instrument, I deem a de?
parture from thc usual custom justifiable. A
measure which makes at once four millions or
people voters, who were heretofore declared by
thc highest tribunal in thc laud not citizens or
thc United States, nor eligible to become so. (with
the assertion that "at thc time of thc Declaration
of Independence thc opinion was lixed and uni?
versal tn thc civilized portion of thc white race,
regarded as an axiom in morals as ivell as in poli?
tics, that black mea had no rights which white
men were bound to respect,") is indeed a meas?
ure of grander importance than any other < ne
act of thc kind, from thelfoundallon of our free
government to the orcscnttlmc.
Institutions like oure, tn which all power ls de
rived directly rrom the people, must depend
. mainly upon their Intelligence, patriotism and
indnstry. T call the attention, therefore, of the
newly enfranchised race to thc importance of
their striving, in every honorable mannor, to
make themselves worthy of their new privilege.
To the race more favored heretofore by our laws
I would say, withhold no lena! privilege of ad?
vancement to the new citizen. The framers id
our constitution firmly believed that a republi?
can form of government conld not endure with?
out intelligence and education generally diffused
among the people. The "Father of his Country,"
in his Farewell AdJrcSs, ases this language :
"Promote, then, as a matter or primary impor?
tance, institutions for the general diffaslon or
knowledge. In proportion as the structure of
government gives force to pnblic opinion, It is es
sentlal that public opinion should bc enlightened."
In his flrst annual message to Congress, tue
same views were rorclbly presented, and arc
?iznin urged in his eighth massage.
I repeat, that tho adoption of thc Pirieenth
amendment :o the constitution completes thc
crealsst civil change, and constitutes the most
imncWant event that has occurred since thc
nation aime into lire. The change will bc bene
fcinl Lr proportion to thc heed that 13 given to thc
urgent recommendations or Washington. If
these recommendations were Important then,
with a population of but a few millions, how
much more Important now, with a population of
forty millions, and increasing in a rapid ratio.
I would, therefore, call upon Congress io take
all the means within their constitutional powera
to promote ana encourage popular education
throughout the country, and upon the peoplo
everywhere to see to lt that all who possess and
exercise political rights shall have the opportuni?
ty to acquire the knowledge which will make
their share in the government a blessing, and not
a danger. By such means only can the benefits
contemplated by this amendment to the constitu?
tion be secured. U. S. GRANT.

HAT AKA, March 20.
Captain-General DeRodas, on his arrival at
Tuerto Principe, issued a proclamation, in thc
couse of which he addressed the insurgents os
follows :
"I know most of you have been drawn Into re?
bellion by force or fraud. Who are your chiefs?
Where ls your promised liberty ? You were told
that Spain could not spare soldiers for Cuba, and
that those soldiers th'rsted for blood who now
divide their dally rations with the women and
children you have left behind. Such falsehoods
can only be temporarily effective.
"The Eastern Department and the Cinco Villas
District are returning to peace; and while terror
deprives you of your repose, the WeBtern Depart?
ment enjoys security an;! tranquillity, and the
public weirare, credit and true liberality in?
creases. The troops no longer needed in those
districts will come to the mountains of the Cen?
tral Department, and a war, of which up to the
present time yon have had no idea, will begin.
"I call on none of you for help, for I need none.
Thc clemency of roy predecessor was interpreted
as weakness, and 1 do not incline to imitate
them. But at the same time, although you are
rebels to-day, 1 do not seek your lives, and advise
you to submit In time to save yourselves; for as
soon as operations have commenced in this East?
ern Department they will be prosecuted with
energy, let the end be what it may.
"All those who surrender their arms to any
legitimate authority will be well received and
their lives are hereby guaranteed. But from thc
benefits of this offer your principal leaders and
thc officers of thc so-called Cuban Government
are excluded,''
One of the first acts of thc Captain-General was
to pardon a man sentenced to death.

3. Thc area planted and in preparation for
planting is iibout t- c same as last year, cn an
average, In corn and colton, so far ns can be
judged from paseal returns, but more In thu
small grains.
ru El'A KATION OF TnE SOIL.
4. Herc there is undoubted cause to congratu?
late thc country, and draw hope and encourage,
ment, for Southern agriculture. Our corrcsoon
dents almost universally reporta more thorough
preparation of the soi; for tho coming crop Ulan
for any previous one. though somewhat back?
ward on account of unfavorable weather. Deep

CONCENTRATED FEIITILIZERS.
5. Thc usc of commercial manures ls reported

LABOR.
C. In regard to thc proportion of freedmen un?
der contruct, or actually employed, as compared

judge; but there ls probably decrease In numbers,
with a somewhat increasing cmcleucy. Immi?
grant labor ls Increasing slowly. . _

THE CITIZENS' PARTY.
A BEAUTY GOD-SPEED PROM A SIS?
TER BT ATE.
Thc Sooth Carolina Press.
A correspondent writing from Eutaw, Ala.,
on thc is tu ultimo, sajs :
The Initiatory movement of the anti-Radical
press or South Carolina Is bur, wc hope, the pre?
cursor of a general convention of those favoring
the "Citizens' Party." The crisis now Is pre?
eminently critical. It calls for the united ener?
gies or every man In the State-indeed, through?
out thc entire South, who regards the protection
or "lire, liberty and property" essential condi?
tions to the "general welfare or the people."
Apathy and supineness, on the part or the ultra
Democrats in the last campaign, and the alarm?
ing evidences or a policy almost as ratal as lt was
injudicious, BO abundant and significant, call
upon every man ti uc to the Interests or his State
and government to discountenance and contemn
inaction and listlessness as ruinous and suicidal.
Further persistence in a policy already prolltlc or
the direst results, must entail endless and ratal
consequences. A retributive, national and social
course can not but rollow in the wake or that na- j
tion and people who suffer the exercise er their
legislative, executive and judicial fonctions to
the venal arbitrament or an abject and Iguoraut
representation.
Doubtless miuy ask: What shall be done to re?
dress grievances, raaffcasance and the like-re?
trench iniquitous and senseless legislation, and
re-establish the public weal on a permanent and
acceptable basU?
Enervated by a prostration Inseparable rrom
the material aud intellectual condition or a van?
quished and subjugated people, they pander to
thc eloquent nnd Immortal shibboleth or thc
ramed son of Anchlses : "Una salas viotio, mul
lom sperare solutum." And. not unlike Aurea?,
they must divest themselves or a fallacy no less
sophistical than fanciful. With thc valiant Trojan
they must know thc future, and, through the Im?
penetrable vista, descry a sunny Italy-a kindly
Latlclus-a nucleus for new operations and more
rational institutlous.
Hy common consent, the panacea ror our ills
is In the formation or a new party, with a result
aut policy-the conjoint effect or tue Democratic
and tnodcraCc-Itepublicau elements.
That organization now gaining strength and
Increasing In favor In Alabama, with mu advo?
cacy of the nest men lo recommend lt, may be
regarded as thc ultima thule or all attempts made
to retrieve our political disasters.
From pretty crrect data, we may entertain
few misgivings as to the result In Alabama. She
will doubtless make a determined and united ef?
fort In the ventilation and disinfection of thc
odious and iniquitous corruption that tends to
bankrupt the State. I
. An awakening sense of Conservative Republi?
cans to the venal instincts of thc great mass or
their co-laborers, has driven some of them to open
exposure and rcnunclaton or the administration.
Now, let the anti-Radical press rally thc State
)o unite with one serried, solid phalanx,under thc
ibanner or the ;'Clttzens' Party,^ und say to them,
"Behind the cloud the sun Is at ii: shlulug."

The Kew Coalition.
(Prom the Spartonbnrg Spartan.]
In this State there U now no lolitlcal question
dividing the two parties walch onghr, to consti?
tute a suitlcient barrier to a common coalition or
thc honest and patriotic or ali parties, natlo: un?
ties and colors against political hishonesty,
sti?shness and corruption. Tho recent amend?
ments to the constitution of the United States
settle the questions of main importance between
thc two great panics of the country. Tluse
amendments arc KOW the organic law of tue
land. The questions they dtcldc are dead issues,
lt ls idle to quarrel over them any longer. Wheth?
er they are w.sc or unwise must bc a matter or
experiment, and ought nut to bc thc subject or
au Idle quarrel between g..od men. The press
resolutions lnulcatc the acceptance or tho con
stitoiiouul amendment* by thc Democratic party
or this State. We believe they arc accepted iii
all honesty and good faith. The right of every
citizen to votcand hold office is acknowledged.
This being conceded, let every man, white and
black, adopt t he spirit or these excellent resolu?
tions, and determine that In the exercise of thc
prerogative or suffrage, he Will allow no motive
to Influence his action lower titan an honest
desire to promote the best Interests of his coun?
try. No more let the inquiry or the candidate be,
ls he Republican or ls lie Democrat? Is he rrom
this section or tinny lint let lt be inquired or
him rather, is he honesty Is he faithful y ls he
competent? Then may we expect to sec thc re?
turn of these proupcronn and nappy days of thc
republic, when Intelligence and virtue sat en?
throned upon thc high und I he low places of thc
nation, and "to be au American was greater than
a King."
Thc four short, simple resolutions recently
adopted by the Press Convention In Columbia.
Indicate Hie source of and the remedy ror all our
political Ills, both State and national. They con?
stitute a pla; form upon which every honest man
in thc nation, bc he Democrat or Republican, can
stand. They announce the only theory upon
which a hope or Hie ultimate success or a Repub?
lican form of government can bc rationally
based.
Let Chester be Represented.
[From thc Chester Reporter.]
We do not wish to bc understood as being op
posed to Chester being represen ted In the conven?
tion to bc held on thc lilli of June. Wc hope
that every county In the State may be represent?
ed there by a Hill delegation or practical men.
and that a lull and free conference, regurding the
wisest policy to be pursued, may then bc had.
The deliberations of SUCH a body would command
our most earnest attention, and wc can scarcely
antic?pate any linc of policy upon which It might
conclude, that would not receive our hearty sup?
port.
Shall wc Refuse :
[Fruin thc Camden Journal.]

TUE GOOD CAUSE.
Camden E M t e r s thc Lists
Camden ls making a vigorous effort to secure
a good municipal government, and lias nominat?
ed a CITIZENS' PAUTV Ticket.
Thc Camden Journal reports that at the mass
meeting, that gallant soldier and courteous gen?
tleman, General J. B. Kershaw, submitted thc fol?
lowing resolutions, which were unanimously
adopted:
I. Jiesolocit, That it ls the opinion of this meet
ng that national or State politics should not bs
permitted to enter Into the town elections. That
honesty, capacity and community or interests
should lie Hie true tests or eligibility to olllcc lu
llicinuniclpalitj'.
.J. Revolved, That we cordially Invite all thc
citizens or thc town to unite with us In pro?
moting tlic pence, order and prosperity of this
community and thc happiness of all our people,
by securing tu the lown a Just and good govern
ment, totatly ignoring therein ali political differ?
ences.
3. Keaol-Td, That a committee tn consist or ten
members bc appointed rrom the citizens present

A. M. Kenne ly. lt. S. Douglas. Manus Raum. (..

Thc committee nominated the following ticket:
For Intendant, W. /.. Leittier; for Wardens, W. I).

Good alo.
On motion or tlencral Kershaw, u committee
rrom each ward was appointed whose duty lt shall
be to see that every voter In their respective
wards shall register within the three days pre?
scribed by law, and thal the election ls properly
conducted.
A PRETTY LENIENT DIVORCE LAW has been
Introduced In the Massachusetts Legislature, and
seems, thus fur, to encounter no opposUiou,
having passed thc House almost unanimously.
It makes separation for five years, even by mu?
tual agreement, a cause of divorce, ir Hie parties
were living In thc State all thc Umc; permits a
divorce for desertion after three years Instead of
live; leaves both parties to a divorce rrcc to
marry again; and authorizes the court to carry
Into effect any arrangements regarding property
that may have been agreed upon by divorced
couples. Hitherto In that State adultery nnd
utter desertion for five consecutive years have
been deemed necessary for a iLvorce, and thc
offending purtv has not been allowed to marry
again without the special permission of the Su?
preme Court. One effect of its passage will be
doubtless to restrain the rather extensive emi?
gration of badly yoked couples from thc Bay
St ite to Indiana to get thc benefit of thc lenient
divorce laws of tlKit Stale.

pS- CAUTION.-AUDACIOUS COUN?
TERFEIT!-The reputation which for many years
has attached to HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BIT?
TERS, as thc standard Tonic of the age. and the
large demand for thc article, not only lu thc Unit?
ed States but elsewhere, have provoked thc cupid?
ity of the counterfeiting tribe, and lt hos been ex?
tensively simulated and Imitated by unscrupu?
lous sharpers.
Tnc most daring counterfeit of said article
which has been attempted, has recently come to
our knowledge. Thc engraved steel label on bot?
tles containing the genuine bitters, with Its beau?
tiful vignette of St. George and tho Dragon, its
shield, containing n warning against counterfeit?
ers, and its note of hand for "one cent" at the
foot, signed by our finn name, has been copied so
closely that the fraud can only he detected on a
minute Inspection. Tin dark label ls also well
counterfeited, and thc wording on both thc Imita
tatton and genalr.e are precisely thc same, the dif?
ference being simply in thc execution of the work;
that or the Imitation being somewhat coarser
than thc jr cn nine. Other counterfeits arc on thc
market, which are in all particulars the same as
described above, willi the exception of a slight
difference In thc spelling of our name.
In addition to thc above, these counterfeiters
have gone so far in some instances ns to place a
strip of paper over the cork and fasten to the neck
or thc bottle, on which is a vignette, and other?
wise printed to resemble the general appearance
of our proprietary U. S. Revenue stamp, but upon
Inspection will disclose the absence of thc figure
"4," and thc words "four cents," also "United
States Internal Revenue," all ol which, together
with additional wording, appear on our genuine
stamp. Thc public arc, therefore, especially war. .
cd against these new counterfeits, and arc advis?
ed to purchase HOSTETTER'S STOMACH HIT?
TERS only of houses whose integrity ls above
suspicion. The true specific is sold in bottles ex?
clusively-never In bnlk.-IIOSTETTBR ? SMITH.
