Promenado Cott L TUESDAY, AUGUST 1, 1876, ——e———— e Greonbacks at the New Yorlk Gold Ex- chango yestorday closed at 893, Clear and partly cloudy wc_nlher, with a slowly-rising lemporature, is tho prediction for this region to-day. Goopg, of Virginia, continues asgood as his word in nbsenting himself from the DBanking and Currency Committee, and theroby continuing the dead-lock on the much-fonght-over bill to repeal tho resump- tion clause, Another decision hns been rondored in the famous divorco suit betweon AN¥ Etaza and Bnienax Youne, Tho alimony is reduced from 317,500 to $3,600, and unless paid in thirty dnys the Prophet’s property will be lovied upon. Tho rcsignation of Bupervising-Architoct Porren is announced, to take cffect forth- with. ITe states that he rotires from tho position voluntarily and in pursuance of a plan formed somo timo ago, ond donies Lav- ing received a hint from the President that his resignation would bo ncceptable, Itis yumored that Mosrerr is to be reappointed, ‘but this is probably nothing moro than an inferenco drawn from Br, Porren's rotire- ment. It ia hardly to bo expected that the Presidont will inflict anothor doso of Aur- rerr upon the publio architecture of the country, By the action of the Common Council yesterdny, the city revenuo warrants are made payablo with interest ont of the first money tollocted on tho tax-levy of 1876, the war- mnts taking procodence of all other claims sgainst tho city. There being no possibility of a doubt that the collection of the tnx- lovy of 1876 will yicld $1,000,000, tho amount nocessary to poy tho entiro issue of rovenuo warrants, the Conncil in making this specifio pledgo has given the most absolute guaranteo possiblo that the holdors of the warrants will raceive their monoy with intorest on tho day it falls duo. To-dny at noon the Sonato, sitting ns o Iligh Court of Impenchment, will proceed to votoe on tho question of the guilt or inno- - conco of W. W. Berknar, Ono minute is to be nllowed ench Sonator to state his rensons for voting guilty or not guilty on each of tho separate articles of impenchment, and ot this rate the voting will occapy tho greater part of the afternoon. It seems to bo the gonoral impression in Washington that the two- thirds voto ngcessary to conviet will not bo obtained, as many of the Senators who voted with tho minority on tho question of juris- diction aro oxpocted to vote ngainst convic- tion, and others, perhaps, for the samo ren- son, will decline to vote, r————— The messago from the Prosident accompn. nying his approval of tho Bundry Civil Ap- propriation bill, which ho signed very reluc- tantly, is o timely showing of tho fact that the Democrats in Congress, for mere portisan purposes, have failed to provide appropris. lious for services required by law, lave ar- ranged to seriously cripple various branches of tho Government machinery, and bave practically ropudinted just clalms againat the Governmont. To do this the Democratic House hny violated in effoct tho constitutional rights of tho Sennte by practically denying tho privilego of thatbody to amend legisla- tion originnting in the Ilouse, and they have also framed an excuse for large deficioncy blils next yonr in enso tho Democratio party shall come into power, Tho Sonato en up and promptly passed the bill recommended by Goen, Bnen- AN to increavo the strength of the compa- nies of five cavalry rogiments to 100 men ench, which will add 2,500 men to the forco, oud only cost the Government for lorsos, oulfits, and support one yonr the sum of $1,624,000. If those additions counld be mado fmmediately to the eavalry force *operating nguinst the Indians, they would mako quick work of Hirrive Born and his savago followers, It is far botter in evory respect to flll up the skeleton regiments of regulars than to cnll out volunteers for n short campaign, and then have to be provid- ing land-warrants, specia! bounties, and life- ponsions, in addition to pay and all the en- listment contract called for, for the noxt fifty yeurs, The Chicago produce markets were gener- ally firmer und stendier yostorday.

J. B. PorAsn, commanding the mil- itary station at Standing Itock Agency, who obtained the information from seven Bionz Indinns who liad just roturnod totho Agency from Brrrive Bure's camp, Their roport of the terrible stroggle of Cusrzn and his com- mand ngainst overwhelming odds ngrees in the main with accounts siready rccelved, though montioning many facts nnd inoi- dents not known horotoforo. It npponrs that Brrrivg Burs was not killed in the fight, and waa not porsonally engaged in it, but sat in his tent and dircoted operations., Kiuu Eaorz, Chief of the Blackfeet, who took a prominent part with hia band in the massacro, has now sent word to Capt. Poranp that lio was forced into it, and that he is coming back to the Agency to confess and ba for- given, nnd it is understood that olher dopu- tations from the hostile camp will shortly ar- riva at the various Agencles, with the purposa of compelling n general movement of the Indions to join Brrrive Burnn. The people of Chicago scem to hava over- looked or nndorestimated tho- fact that the city revonuo warrants of 1876, which the Comptroller is now offering for sale, ars really receivable for the taxes of 1876, and aro thereby rendered nbsolutely scoure to those who havo taxes to pay. After auther- izing the popular loan, the Council passed the following ordinaneo : Ordered, That, upon presentation to the Clty Treasurer by the legal owner thercof of clty **rove entie tunc worrant, " drawn npon and payable ont of the city taxes axscased and levied for the year 1870, together with thie city receints for the same year, the City Treasurer be, and he is hercby, di- rected to pay In money the amount of sald reventa warrant and Interest thercon, when so expressed therein, and taka ap and cancel the same, provided the taxes sa pald shall egnal or exceed the nmount of sald revenue warrant or warrants; and, in case the revenuo warrants 8o presented exceed the amount of clty taxcaso pald, the Treasurer shall indorso the nmount paid on said ruvenue warrant oF warzants, For those persons who hold the certificates and desiro to realize upon them they can doso at any time after the taxes of 1876 shall havo become dug and payable, The warrants can- not ‘bo presented directly to the County ‘Tronsuror, simply becauso ho is not author- {zed to receivo anything but legal-tender and National Boank notos; but tho holders can poy him the money (which ean be borrowed for nn hour for that purposo, if necessary), and by presonting the tax receipts at the offico of tho City Treasuror along with the rovenue warrant which thoy want redeemed they con draw tho principal and intercst thercon. ‘Thus the warrnnta will always have apar valze for the payment of taxes, and their redemption is absolutely nssured. THE, 0BJECTIONS TO THE SILVER BILL The bill now before Congress on the sub- jact of coinago provides that whenever gold or gilver bullion shall bo deposited at the mints or nssay offices, thero shall be jssued to the depositors gold notea or silver notes to the net value thereof, redeemable on demand in coin or fine bars at tho Treasury, gold for gold notes, and silver for silver notes. ‘The gold bullion is to bo computed at its coinage valne, and silver at the weight of tho stondard dollar. Tho coin notes shall be a legnl-tendor for all ducs to tho United States, and tho coin bo a logal-tender for all debts, publio and private. Tho objections urged to thia bill may be thus stated : (1) That it will legalizo a coin which at tho present prico of silver will bo worth less than the gold coin, and worth less than the paper money, snd will be a repudintion of all coin debts, .public and private, and a re- pudiation of ono-tenth of tho currency debts. (2) That there being no uso for gold, it will be exported. (8) It will xesult in an im- mense inflation. (4) That it will domage tho national credit by striking down the valuo of the national bonds at least 20 per cont, and that this will necessarily destroy all foith in American intereats. How far are theso objections subtantinl? Tho public debt of tho United Btates, of ov- ery form, whon not payable in *‘lawful mon. ey,"—a torm intended to cover paper,—wns made payable in express terms ** in coin ;" that coln meant the gold and silver coin of tho United States, then o legal-tender. 'The United States then, and at no time, undertook to guarantoe the pormanoncy of the values of eithor gold or silver. For over twenty-five yoars silver was at 8 promium in gold, and henco no man can claim that payment of the debt in silver dollars was excluded either in terms or by implication. There is, there. fore, no mora legal objection to fho United States paying their debts in silver than thore would be if gold had declined and the United States should tender gold to their ereditors. ‘Tholegal right and power may therefore bo tukon nd conceded. Tho objection that gold will be exported rests on o nntural reault, that, nsgoon asthere conses to be a uso for gold, it will go whera it is needed. Wo have in tho United States at this time an averago of §150,000,000 of gold, 'This, no longor being needed, will go to Earopo, and, with our annual product of 50,000,000, will tend largely to supply tho temporary domand which exista there, and to that extont roduco tha minxim of differenco which has recently been caused botween the values of the two metals. In tho placo of this gold there will of nccossity be a demand for a larger supply of mlver, far oxceoding tho surplus whoso presence in Iurope has produced the panic under which tho price of tho motal hina declined. The exportation of our gold, and the utilization of a much larger amount of silver, will jointly contribute to Lring the valuo of silver nearor tb that of the gold, Thore Is, we conceds, o peril of serions in. flation, not becauso of the rovival of silver coinage, but becauso of tho presenca of tho greenbacks, ‘Tho rovival of ilver colunge should bo sttended with tho rotirement of the greenbnoks, and the issue of gold notes nud silver notes will reuder tho uso of greenbacks wholly unncoessary, "Those, {ssued in any amount not less than $10, will furnish the country, with all the curroncy that can be neoded. Being redoemablo on demand in coin, these notes will he oquiva: lent to coln, and seccured, dollar for dollar, will be the Lost possible ocurrency, rauking abovo that of greenbacks, ‘The Ilatter, therefore, in order to provent a loss to the Llolder, and to relievo the country of a com- plicated system of legal-tenders, should be rolired. 'This should be done by offering to tho holder a bond bearing u low rate of in- tercat paynblo in coin. Into this bond the whole volume of groenbacks will go, so soon a3 tho ellvor coln ond the silver notes shall be lssucd in an amount equal to tho wauts of business. The othor objection, that tho passage of this bill will domago tho national eredit by striking down the valuo of the bonds 20 per cent from their prosent value iy an exag- goratlon, In the first placo, the bonds will | viauts to uvoidit. TUESDAY, AUGUST 1, 1876. have the valuo'of thae silver dollars as metal, with the additional value of bearing interest. Thero i8 no roason to suppose that tho pres- ont decline in silver is to be permanent. For many conturics the two metals have main- tainod a proportionate valne so nearly per- manent that a atandnrd of relntive valnos has Deon established. 'I'hero have been fluctun- tions, Gold has froquently declined, and, as wa havo stated, continuously, for twenty- fivo yonra proceding the recent fall in silver, sitver commanded a prominm in gold, To nssume that silver will nover recover its atandard value, is an oxtremo assumption not warranted by history or any presont facts. '"Tho very fnct that tho United Btates Dhaa croated a demand for $500,000,000 of silvor will offset tho whole demonotization of silver that lins tak- on plnce during the Inst five yenrs, It Is not possible {o demonctizo silver. 'I'he dobtor natlons of the world are not in n condition to do o, and in 1878 Franco will resumo specic payments in silver. Tranco hns the dunl standard of silver and gold. The two coins are legal-tender. Can it bo any greater breach of faith for the United States to re. same specio payments and discharge their obligations in gilver than it will bo for Frauca? That thoe romonetizing of the silver dollar will have tho effect of roducing tho market valua of the bonds in gold is trne, and that this will be true o long as silver mny remnin below the standard ; but that involves no bad faith on the part of the United States,’| which was under no obligation to gunrantee the value of silver or gold, nnd which re- sorved the choico to pay in cither coin. Thero is n wide difference betweon the cages of rodemplion in silver coin and re- demption in the greenback, The ono has value, the other is a mere promiso of value. The silver unstamped, and-in the more form of motal, has an intrinsic value; the paper, unstamped, hns no value, The noto is a mere promise to pay a dollar; the silver is tho dollnr itself, nnd the silver dollar has beon the logal unit of valuo in the United States from 1702 {o the date in 1878 when the change was surraptitiously made. The decline of the market valuo of the bonds from tho gold to tho silver valueis an inci- dent in thorise and fall of commodities for which the Govermnent is in no wise morally orlegally responsible, aud which it is under no legal or moral obligation toroctify, Thereisno more obligation upon the Government to prevont afall in the market prices of Gov. ornmont bonds than there is to interpose in favor of any other bonds, or to keep up tho price of cotton, wheat, or other commodity. In 1878 there wore millions of bonds and stocks which wero solling at paror a pro- miow, which in a fow days beeame value- less, It was the fato of speculntion, and so with the national bonds,—holders take them with all the chiances. ‘l'o attompt to brand tho passago of this bill as ropudiation of the ‘bonds or nuy part of thom is but tho shriek of the speculator and the wail of the man who really scaks to have 20 per cent added to the legal value of his investment. THE ECLECTIC S8CHOOL OF POLITIOS3. The Chicago Z'imes is agnin drifting into the insane aud idiotic twnddle of political cclecticism first suggosted four years ago by o visionary Communist who ecoms to con- trol tho political columns of that paper. It supports Tioes for President, but opposes Hexomicus for Vice-President, and now promises to support Currost and tho Repub- lican State ticket ns against Brewanp and tha others who wore patched up into a mon. grol tioket at Springfield tho othor day, Of coursa it is too ocarly to reposa any confl- donce in its nssertions about Srewamn. Up to the time of ''iLpex's nomination at 8t Tonis, no paper was more bitter in denounc. inghim than the Zimes. It aconsed Tir- DEY of * broach of trust” in connoction with a couplo of his manifold railread operntions, and explained that * Mr, T1upey, being in. trusted with n certnin sum of money for specifie purposes, diverts it from those pur- poses into his own baunk account.” It also sald that Troex's war record is notoriously bad, and that the party could not carry him, It strengthened this assertion with another to the effoct that “Tmpex 'is not o better man than Haxes, nor so good o one,” nnd that, **if nominated, Haves will beat him ns badly as Granrt beat Gnerrey.” Yo, in spite of all these declarations, up to tho time TrroexN becamo the actual candidate of the Confederntes, the 7%mes gives him the hoartiest support now that Lo {s their candi- date. Bo it is not safo to nssumo that tho papor will not support Brewanp because it now anys it won't, and beeanse it denounces #aid SrewAnp ns ‘“ n Commuuistio howler for the worst modes of poternalistic Govern- men "; to-morrow or next day STEWARD mny bo ns desirable a candidate for Governor, in tho opinfon of tho Z%mes, as TiLoex is for Prosident, notwithstandingthe formerdenun- cintion of him ns a Copperhead and railrond wreclter. Bo far aa the Zimes oditor himself is con- cerned, this * political eclecticism " is rath- er o fraud than a lunacy. Ha is too old a campaignor to subseribo in earncst to any such mild type of idicoy. o is o vetoran in politics, battered and bruised from the hard ' knocks ho hins reccived, and fully awaro of tho effect as well as the purpose of the pro- grammo ho has laid out. Ho Lknows porfeotly woll that every vote that onn bo gnined for TmwpeN " will bo given to the Domocratic electoral tickot which will voto for Hexpuroxs ny well as Tioey, 8o tho pretonded opposition to Hexpnioks while sapporting Tirpey is in- operative, and intentionally so, He knows, also, that tho head of the ticket s tho real point of attack and defense, and that if the voto of Ilinols could bo gaeutml for Tivoey, it would eloct a majority of the Congrossmen and the Stewano Btate ticket. But he also fools the utter hopolessness of carrying I nols for TiLpeN, and so attempts to concil. {ato kis Ropublican rendors by sffecting o support of Corrox for Governor, Tho prin. oipal object in this is not to loso such Re- publican readers as has boen gained by a fraudulent profossion of politieal indopend. ence, and a socond purposo is to get somo of the Republican votes for Titoex by declar- ing that the lattor is really in opposition to his own party, and, it clected President, would administor tho Govornment on Re- publican privciples. Tho fact is that tho T'imes would bo financially bankrupt if it lost the Republican constituouoy it Lins gained by falso pretenses, but it will be politically wrotched if the Confedoratos, whom it sup. ported all through the War of tbe Rebellion, shall not succeed to the controlof the Gov- ornment. Honco the * eclecticlsm.” No ono knows better thon tho Z¥mes that the election of T1Lpex will bo of itselt a for- wal consignmont of tho destinies of the Unitod Btates into the handa of the Southorn Coufoderatos, fire-eators, and niggor-killers, ‘I'here is no way to avoid it; in fact, thoro is searcely auybody supporting ‘Truoxx who T'o eleot TiLoxy would bo to oloct nt tho same time n Domocratia ma- jority in Congress, and turn over all tho offl. ces and the entiro machinery of the Govorn. ment into the hands of tho Democrats. Al the legislation, all the approprintions for the army and navy, all tho claims, and tho entire poliey of tho Government would bo sbsoluto- ly in the hands of tho Domocratio party, Now, what does tlint parly consist of ? A more handful of people at the North, and tho molid Confederato South, The Con- foderates, both by force of numbers and by superiority of intelligonce. over thoir Northern colleagnes, will havo absoluto control of the party enucus and dictnte the party policy. What is thore in the life and carcer of Mr. Tiupex that warrants the be- licf that ho will array himself against the will of those who would elect him? If such n thing wore to Lo conceived of a man who has always been a fierco partisan, and who was in ontiro sympathy with the South from tho moment Sumter wns fired nt, still ho wonld bo as powerless to defeat tho designs ns JoussoN wns to dofeat the Iopublican work of reconstructing the South; and all the results of the long-fought and dearly. bought War for tho Union would be nulli- fled by the vory men who were originally respousiblo for it, Tho manager of the Times, with his three- scoro years of politicsl oxperienco, under- stands thosituntion perfeotly well, 1o knows that ho ean nid his old frionds of the Re- bellion with entire efficioncy by supporting TiLpey, whom thoy have set up to bo used ng their tool in case they win, and ho knows also thnt any protended opposition to Iey- prioks as Vico-Presidont, or to Strwanp for Governor of linois, will not detract in the least from any good ke mry bo able to do the “lost couse” by supporting Tmoey, Indeed, ho thinks that tho protended sup- port of somo of the Ropublicans for the Stato offices will enable him to get the earn (and tho money) of certain Ropublicans whom he would otherwise loso; in this ho may find ‘“eclecticism” to bo n failure, ns Intelligent Republicans are pretty apt to se through his little game, g TIHE RATLROAD INTRODUCED INTO CHINA. 1t is nn nononncement of moro than tsual intoroat, tlus which comes from China, that tho railrond hins been introduced into that country, It is a short lino,—no more than & miles in length,—but the attention of the world is turned to its inauguration with won- dor and with calculations of the splendid re- sults that wiil follow to China nnd the world. An English firm some yonrs since managed to purchaso tho right of way for n carringo vond from Shanghsi to Woosung, 10 miles distant, A ministure locomotive was built and sont to Shanghi to accustom tho people to tho *ecnrriago™ that wos to be runon this road. Every of- fort was mado to prevont any shock to tho peculinr and tenacions consorvatism of the people, So skillfully wns this dono that a considerablo number of subscriptions of Chineso cnpital wero obtained. Tho con- struction of the road bogan January lnst, & miles have been completed, and on the 1st of July the rond was opened, and was to bo completed to-dsy. Mongolinns appenr to have been dolighted. ' A shrowd stroke wna made in permitting them to ride froe tho first two dnys. 'Tho offer was sccopted by hundreds, and the new meausof conveyanco &t once mconred popular favor. The Chi- noso proved not to bo so hopelossly conserva- tive that ho conld not recognizo tho superi- rity of the locomotive to the wheolbarrows alanquing, and other similar men-moved enrringes that now furnish transportation for Chineso travel and trafic as & thousand yenrs ego. ‘Thore are now twelve trains a dny, six oach way, running on the road. * I'hey are crowded with passongers, and the road is poying a handsome profit nlready, which will nssure it and all similar enterprises ou im. mense popularity with the thrifty Chineso, 'I'e London Z'imes dovotes a great deal of apaco to this impottant onterpriso, It snys: It1ato be borno In mind that the little lino hna not been lald down on principles which would be the most advontageous lina country so densely iope ulated as China, Its detalls have only heen niopted as nffording tho rendicat and wost prmc- ticable menns of securlng heginning, —of tnsort- ing the thin end of the weidge. — Moreover, it wos very desirable that the llne whonld be able to earn s good a dividend In aw stiort n tinie us posaible, an tlement very eusentlnl to success In nuy enter- rrllm Juany country, and especlally in Ching, It s stated that there aro o munber of sl subscri~ bera in China, ond s good dividend would do moro than anything elkc to promote au Interest in rafle ways in'that country. Now, however, that the in- itiotivo hins been taken, it Is to bo hoped the exam- plenny be speedily followed In othor parts of the country, and that the llitle Shanghal Rafiway may prove the precursor of o rallway system which at 10 distant perlod may bo found extending its ram- ifications thronghout the Colestinl Empire, It iw wrobable thut tho governing classes in China, re- guriding rallwaya from o atrategic point of view, wlil recognizo " thelr Importance more readily from thut than from a purely commorelal aspeet. In whatever llzht tho questlon may bo viewed, the In- itiative which has "been taken fn such works Is cleatly & matter for congraluiation, Cbina lins hiad the telegraph in operation for soveral yonrs in n smnll way, Ib galued the favor of the Governinent by the service it was mado to do in carrying on tho cam- paign against the TFormosan rebels, The tolegraph nnd tho railrond now have a brill- iant futaro bofore thom in Chinn. Their ex- tontion will neoessarily bo slow, but their in. fluence must be tromendous, not nlono on China, but on every nation that sells Chinn anything or Luys anything of hor--that i3 the world. TFour hundred millions of people g0 keen nnd active as tho Chineso * cannot have two such fnstru. monts 28 the telegraph wiro ond tho locomotive placed on their lands without great results, 'Tho construction of the roads will be n source of grent profit to the United States, Though China furnishes tho Inbor that builds the roads, nud England supplics tho Bessemer steel for the rails,—though hero wo will compete with her,—tho United Sitatos will certainly sond tho locomotives. Wo havo supplicd Rusin, and ean command tho markot In Chinn. Increased fnoilitics of trausportation will clicapen the gilks, tho teas, the drugs, spices, and procious woods Chinn sonds us, and increase the wealth that enables China to buy our produots, The in- troduction of the railrond into China is the most important fact in tho history of that digtinctive faotor of modern progress sinco {ts introduction into Ameriea fifty years ngo. 1t is only deomed nocessary to say in reply ta the Journal's defenio of Becretary Rowe- 80N, that whenever it is shown that ho ro- moved the naval doposits from the banking- house of Baxixa Brothers & Co., of London, totho wild-cat concern of Jay Cooke, Mc- Curroou & Co,, in conformity with law, Tue Teisong will very gladly publish the fact; and when it is shown that ho acted ne- cording to law in placing a million or more sof Governmont funds in that concern after lio knew it was insolvent, Tux Tripung will not hesitato to say so., Wo will say nothing as to the truth or fulsity of various other ohargos made ngainst hiw, such aa paying old rejected claims that originated prior to his iuduction into offico, and which had been acted upon aud rejected by his predocessors; nor of the 200,000 of Governmont money ho is charged with squandering on the Nommaw Wuww lLumlug oxd- nanco oxperimonts; mnor of his sus. picious denlings with the Carrrits and their commissions on naval contracts; norof his sudden incronso in woalth, nnd his enormous bank ncconnt, as alloged by n mn- jorlty of tho Committeo of Investigation. All theso charges aro donied in his Lehnlf, and must be proven Loforo ho can bLe holden guilty of thom, But as to tho removal of the naval deposits and loaning of public money to an ingolverit bank, both acts in violation of law, Tue'U'nipuxs does not feel called upon to doefend it. It may bo true that Roneson benefited Cooxe anid McCurroon thereby, and saved their bondsmen, the Oarrenes, from financinl embarragsment, and perhinps disastor ; but still ho neted unlaw- fully in so doing, nnd the Govornment is still out of pocket, it is eaid, $700,000 by lis misconduct. The Jowrnal may apologize for much acts, or it may try to conceal or belittlo them, but it must not ro- quire Tne Tnmuve to do likewlso, We think tho majority of the Invostigating Com- mittoo hias ncted unfairly townrds the minor- ity in the mattor of making the roport, nnd in taking some of the evidenco, nnd hos shown oxtreme partisan injustico; noverthe. leas, onough hns been admitted or proven to justify the President in removing Ronwsoy without & mowmont's delny or n particle of Lesitation, THE HAMBURG BUTLER.

Why, then, docs it so indignantly deny that Bur- nen is n Georgian, or that any other Goor- | gians took part in thomurders? But Durnen, who scems to live ‘nt Edgefield, 8, O., has writton o lettor dated ot that placo in which he roiterntes his entire approval of the mas. sacro, glories in tho patt which ho tool in it, ond enlls upon Gov. CraMpEnraIy in o do- finnt spirit to arrest him and bring him to trinl, We confess that wo do not under- stand why Gov. Cirasmenrazy has eo far neg- locted to do this, nor why ho should have waited for so impertinent n challengo from tho man who is supposed to havo been the instigator and ringleader of the wholo affair, Sinco Burren doos not live in Geor- gin, and hns made no offort to escape, ho is within tho absolute jurisdiction of the State officers of South Carolina, and Gov, Ciax- neruAN will bo personally to blame for any delay 1 tho prompt prosecution of tho guilty men that will enable them to cscape tho full mensure of punishment they so richly de- gorve, - Gov. CmaMBERLAIN put himself on record concerming the character of the Ham- burg massacre in his letter to Senator Ron- EnTsoN, but Burnes writes very much ns though ho had some reason for belioving that Cuanmrrramy will not proceed with the prosccutions. We are at n loss to under- stand why no arrests have besn made. The Angusta Constitutionalist would have us believe that the affalr at Hamburg was not * political.” It was not political in tho sonso of killing negraes beeauso they tried to vote, nor in tho senso of an ordinary election riot, Butovory sano person knows that it was political in so far as the nogroos wero killed beeauso they were nogroes, bocauso thoy had been. cmancipated, because they werein o company of Btate militin, and bo- couss they wero celebrating the Fourth of July by n parade. We will illustrate, Itis tho practice of the ex-Confederato soldiers who aro organized into independent military compnnies to cclebrato by parade tho anniversarics of their fallen herocs of the Confedorate army, We do not know how it was in Augusts, but in Bavannah last January—and wo presume it is o every year—tho anuivorsary of Lee's birthday was colobrated a8 o public holiday, nnd all the white indepondont companies turned out in dress-parade. We have also beon told that, among all of them, witha profusion of Btate flags, rogimental stand. nrds, and company bonners, not o single Union flng was to bo seen. Now, if one of these companies had paraded in Hamburg on n Confederate anniversary, and had opposed tho progress of a conple of Southern bloods riding along the strect in a buggy, and had finally given way to them by breaking ranks, —would the. ciroumstanco beon followed by o frantic demand for the disarming of the compnny, and would the ox-Confedorates Liave been mussncred if thoy hiad rofused? If not, then it follows that tho negro militin men wero massncred biceause they were: ne- grocs and lopublicans, If this {snot * po- litical,” then wo presume nothing short of a robellion of fiftoen States is rogarded ns ** po. litical " in tho Bouth, Many of our readers recolleet the raitrond transuction enlled the reorganlzation of the Chi- engzo, Fond du Luce & 8t.
