SCYLIA AND CHAKYBDIS.
He disposition to run to extremes is one
I tf the unfortunate tendencies of the age.
1 Id do ease is this tendency more forcibly il-
I feinted than in the action of the Demo-
I critic party on the negro question. It seems
I tint the people arc muddled into idiocy by
I this issue, and their movements upon it are
| citaracterixetl by a woful lack of wisdom.
Foriastance. in Alabama and in Dela-
I nre especially the Democratic politicians
I are forming a “white man’s party,” whose
plitfonn is “No rights for the negro as a
| china.”
That this party is doomed to defeat if it
attempts to fight it out on this line, it needs
”0 vise head to predict. The establish
ment of the negro’s right to the ballot box
is me of the inevitable 1 esults of the rev
elation. and the people of the North and
West trill sec to its enforcement. The ne
gro's right a: a citizen wab perfected at the
apple tree of Appomattox.
The negro will be a voter for sometime
tJ come, and the party that resists this fact
rill be whelmed beneath the resistless
nrei of frothy, false liberalism that are
delaging the country. If the Democrats
thaio themselves to this rotting torpse,they
most perish.
Hardly less lamentable than the mistake
aide by our friends in Delaware, is the one
nade by oar friends in South Carolina. In
the former ease they are unwisely hostile to
tbe negro; in the latter they are disgust-
hgif friendly. By a late telegram we learn
that at a Democratic meeting; negro speak-
m particij ated in the exercises on perfect
equality with the whites, and were loudly
•pplauded by Democratic listeners. Need
R express the loathing that filled our
breast at the exhibition of such cowardly
ijcophaucy.YeGods—in South Carolina—
tbe reputed hotbed ot Southern ohivalry
vc see white men applauding negroes as
their equals—begging them for wisdom
and then thanking them for it—bending
in the dust, miserable suppliants for the ne
gro vote, and then hurrahing with joy
when the negro promises it. In trying to
avoid Scylla our South Carolina friends are
whirling in Charybdis.
Oar policy on the negro question is, and

hoe that oar duty to God demands—to ut-

SUNDAY SCHOOL CELEBRATION.
Yesterday was “the gladdest day of all
the glad new year.” All the Sunday Schools
of Rome and vicinity (numbering some six
or seven), arranged themselves in procession
and marched to the depot to take the train to
Cave Spring, to enjoy their annual celebra
tion.
Banners handsomely worked, floated in
front of every school, while the notes of the
Silver Cornet Band kept the air mellow with
music. At the very least calculation over
fourteen hundred people left Borne, to take
part in the grand festival. Arrived at Cave
Spring, a perfect multitude of children, wo
men, andmen, and girls arrayed in two lines
received, with songs of welcome, the visiting
schools. Over a road strewn with flowers,
and through a lane of rosy damsels—
what better pathway could a man wish for?
The bridge was elegantly decorated, and
the archivings were set off with appropriate
inscriptions, worked in flowers. (Querry—
How many men put in a sly little love-stroke
as they passed with their sweethearts under
that arch, crowned with the suggestive in
scription “Love one another”? Answers so
licited.)
After rcachihg the grove, in which a stand
had been erected and seats arranged, exer
cises of song and prayer were gone through
with, and Mr. Gwaltney delivered a very hap
py address. When the speech was conclud
ed, the crowd scattered, and commenced hav
ing “fun.” The hills all aronnd were dotted
with young folks, enjoyed in every conceiva
ble amusement—babies crowing and chirp
ing; children romping and racing; boys and
girls laughing, talking and playing as only
boys and girls can; young lovers billing and
cooing, and tender-faced matrons gossipping
and arranging the tables. Oh I it was a mer
ry scene—sneh a scene as can only be seen
where thousands of happy young people are
gathered together in cool and shady woods, by
a clear rnnning stream, for the purpose of
having a good time, and nothing but a good
time. At about one o’clock five or six hun
dred Sunday School folks came from Jack
sonville, to join the happy revelry. They
were heartily welcomed by a crowd number
ing not less than three thousand, and were
soon made to feel comfortably at home.
The home train came puffing about 4 o’clock,
and after bidding oar friends in Jacksonville
a hearty goodbye, we returned to Borne im
mensely pleased at the success of the excur
sion.
There was not a single accident to mar the
enjoyment of the day. The dinner was unex
ceptionable and bountiful in the extreme.—
To the efficient committee of arrangements
the schools are indebted for much of the pleas
ure of the day.
To the unbounded hospitality of the good
people of Cave Spring, we are forever debt-
And.we but speak the sentiment of over
three thousand children, when we thank eve
ry one who was at all instrumental in bring
ing abont and consummating this prime fes-
festival.
Of Cave Spring—than which there is no
more charming village in the Souths—and its
well managed Deaf and Dumb Assylum, we
■hall have something to say in onr next issne.
Masonic.—In obedience to the time-
honored custom among Masons, Cherokee
and Oostananla Lodges will celebrate the
24th day of J one next. There, will be
a dinner and address as last year. They
may and doubtless will have a good dinner,
but we feel sure they cannot beat the one
they had last year.
We shall look forward to that day with
more than ordinary interest and pleasure,
and we know the ladies who are connected
with the fraternity, will also. It will be a
re union of the members and their fami
lies. Bnt on all sneh occasions there is
many who join in the procession, clothed
as Masons, and make themselves conspicu
ous at the tables, but never work, hut first
to eat. Never contribute a cent to the des
titute and afflicted, or pay one cent Lodge
dues, yet when they can advertise them
selves as Masons at the expense of the
craft, they never let an opportunity slip.—
They are worse than drones in the great
beehive of Masonry. The officers should
remedy this evil, as far as they can. W e
allude to those only who pay no dues and
“clothe” themselves but once a year.
The annual meeting of the “Cherokee
Masonic Aid Association” will be held on
that day also. Many brethren from a dis
tance is expected to he present.
Music—Ambbosia. — On Thurhay
night the Silver Cornett Band wended their
way to the residence of Mr. Gibbons and
gave Mr. Pressley and his bride a beauti
ful serenade. After the music had ceased)
the hospitable lady of the house invited
the band in, and had spread for them a
most delightful supper. After about half
an hour had been spent in discussing the
merits of the delicious “wittles” the band
retired feeling convinced no doubt that he
doeth a good business who bloweth a horn
in the brass band.

Vabney Gaskill Again —Since some
months since we plucked this virtuous in
dividual from the common crowd, and
twirled him a turn or two upon the point
of our pen, he has been living in lamenta
ble obscuritp. A day or two ago, however,
he poked his smiling head from behind
the curtains, and now struts before the
public with all the swagger ot a barbacue
orator, lie appears to be a sort of coun
sel for BuUock against the investigating
committee, and has been, as Angiers books
show, the happy recipient of $1,000 from
Bullock, for selling something or other.—
While we smack onr lips at GaskiU’s good
fortune, we ask, in an agony of unsatisfied
cariosity, why it is that Bollock is so fond
of him. Varney is (so ho says) an immac
ulate Democrat—Bullock a bloody Radi
cal. Why then this fondness of Rnfos for
G 7- It can only be on account of the so
cial brilliancy of Varney—and the inimita
ble knack he has of tellinga tale, and get
ting up tales to tell. That is-—Bullock pets
him, not because of prostituted political
Virtue, but because of the faculty he has of
whiling away his Excellencies' d nil hours
by a species of “Arabian nights” enter
tainments. And posterity, when contem
plating Varney’s rigid adherence to Demo
cratic tenets, and this apparently incongru
ous friendship will thus explain it:
Bollock loved him lor the tales he told,
And he loved Bollock for his silver and gold.
PROCEEDINGS IN CONGKUESS.
The Line Drawn between Radical a- d Mod
erate Repnbllcams In the Senate.
XLST CONGRESS.
SENATE.
Washington, May 17.—Mr. Cimeron
presented a memorial for the general abol
ished of taxation on products. He spoke
in favor of the snhstitntion of external for
internal taxeo, and above all, tbe abolition
of the income tax.
The fifteenth amendment bill came
up at the expiration of the morning hour.
Mr. Terry proposes a modification ofhis
amendment, which wonld prevent any fur
ther political disabilities than now exist.—
He then replied to Mr. Morton’s remark
yesterday denying the right of that Senator
to foist his own opinion upon the South,
and assnme to make them the embodiment
of the views of the whole Union party
North. He denied the existenoe of any
rebellious state of affairs South, and assert
cd that tbe Republican party of the North
were in favor of the removal of political
disabilities.
Mr. Morton replied at length to Mr. Fer
ry, whose views, he said, entitled him to a
Democratic side of the chamber, and whose
argument should lead him next to move a
repeal of all pensions to Union soldiers or
else to pension rebels. He also defended
the Georgia officials irom the charge of cor
ruption, and argued that when admitted to
participate iu the Government-, the rebels
of the Government, the rebels of the South
would turn upon and defy those whom
they were now cajoling and flattering.
Mr. Sawyer eulogised the speech of Mr.
Ferry as sound Republican doctrine. He
thought the attempt to read Senators out
of tbe Republican party would require more
than mere assertion and denunciation, for
its acoomplisnment, as it was aimed at one-
half at leastof the Republican Senators and
four-fifths ot the Republican voters in the
United States. For himself he would rec
ognize no man’s right to read him of the
party until be conld show that the ground
on which he stood was not Republican. He
went ou to argue that actual reconstruction
conld only he achieved by extending to
citizens of oce State ail the rights enjoyed
by the citizens of any other, and that under
the political. disability scheme, innocent
men suffered for every one guilty.
Mr. Drake believed the only class under
disabilities in the South at the present time
were those who, after holding office under
the Untcd States Government and owing
allegiance to it, engaged in the rebellion.
Their number, he thonght, did not exceed
40,000.

No more blundering or stupid scheme
than that ofthe test oath conld have been
conceived in the Sooth. They were now re
duced to the necessity of selecting public
officials from among incompetents or ras
cals. He hoped to hear some expression
of opinion from the representative in the
Senate of that race, which is largely made
np ofthe loyal element of the South, upon
wisdom of keepingthe intelligence, wealth
and virtue of the South in a condition of
political slavery for an indefinite period .be
cause any man who was not the eqnal of
another in his political right was in some
sense a slave. He thonght the Senator
from Mississippi, Mr. Revels, wonld de
claro in favor of amnesty for the past as
the best protection of his race.
Mr. Cameron expressed his conviction as
the result of personal observations daring a
recent visit to the South, that the rebellions

by the contemptnoos reference to Northern

mency.
Mr. Revels having been called upon, pro
ceeded to define his position, and that of the
Republican party in Mississippi. Upon
the operation of general amnesty, he was
in favor of removing disabilities in the
South jnst as fast as the people gave evi
dence of loyalty. Whenever a man gave
this evidence, by ceasing to denounce and
oppose the laws of Congress, by respecting
them and laboring to carry them out, he
was in favor of removing his disabilities. If
this could be truly said of a whole State,
he would be in favor of the removal of dis
abilities in that State. In the State of Mis
sissippi the Republican party had held itself
to universal amnesty, and the Legislature
has redeemed that pledge by the passage of
a resolution asking Congress to remove tbe
disabilities of the citizens of the State, and
which he had presented. The condition of
things iu Mississip ii was exceptioral. The
lawlessness and violence prevailing in oth
er reconstructed States did not exist there,
but the people were harmonious and pros
perous. He was in favor of amnesty in
Mississippi,as the party had given its pledge
to that effect, and the State was fit for it.
Mr. Drake made an argument against the
general removal of disabilities. Daring the
disouEsion it was proposed to take up the
House bill an the subject, which had been
received from that body, bnt objection was
made, on the groand that the pending bill
had been carefully matured by the Judicia
ry Committee, while the House bill was de
tective.
At 5 o’clock, after a short executive ses

localities cf their plantations, description of
sagar houses, the kind Of power and the
processes for making sugar, the amount
of the crops for tlte past two seasons in su

in pounds and gallons. Then follows a re
capitulation, which shows at a glance the
.Tops ofthe last soason from which we learn
that the brown sugar made ender the old
process in 1869-70, amouted to 73.472
hogsheads, weighing 83,633,097 pounds,
and that the refined and charified sugar
amounted to 13,619 hogsheads, weighing
15 819,849 pounds giving a total crop
of 87,090hogsheads, or 99,151,946 ponods.
The molasses .from this crop was 5„742,-
356 gallons..
The rice crop was 100,748 barrels, es
timated at 200 pounds each. The parish
of Assumption produced most sagar, the
crop being 40,358 hogsheads. The parish
of St. Bernard gives the highest return
for rice, 31,337 barrels. The largest su

Millions In Sait.
THE CAMPBELL HEIRS CLAIM OYER HALF
THE CITY OF 'LOUISVILLE.
Louisville, May 13.—The first step
in the suit brought by the Campbell heirs,
who claim over onc-half of the city—three
thousand acres, valued at seventy million
doUars—was taken to-day, the chancellor
granting an injunction preventing the city
from tearing down seme bnildings on prop
erty purchased by the city for wharf pur
poses. All back rents lor a term of years
will be sued for, so that the suit will be for
fully one hundred mil lion dollars. The
defendants number two thousand. The
suit is creatingmnch excitement.
The Louisville Courier Journal says:
“Those claiming to be the heirr of John
Campbell are not his direct decendants, bnt
are mostly the great grandchildren of his
sister, Mrs. Beard, to whom he made over
all his property. Mrs. Beard sold her life
estate to Fortuuatns Coshy, and when she
died the rightful heirs were infants, and,
consequently, the property went into the
hands of trustees appointed by Campbell in
his will. It remained in the hands of
these trustees till tbe year 1862, when the
lost one died, and since that time it has
been lqstsight of. The heirs in question
declare that they can show clear titles to all
the property claimed, which is about as fjl-
lous:
Beginning at Second street and the riv
er, and rnnning southeast to the corner of
Preston and Greene streets, thence South
to Broadway, and thence down Broadway

How True.—Don Piatt writes to the
Cincinnati Commercial:
“The wonderful energy exhibited by the
Southern people in straggligng np from the
utter ruin that followed the late civil war
is one of the marvels of the day. While
ct otending against the blundering, unjust
acts of reconstruction, originating in hate
and continued through greed, that deprived
them of a voice and laws now involving'the
business interests of the entire country, the
people have straggled manfully and with
success to a certain extent to restore the
national prosperity of their region, la this
no aid whatever has been given by the Gen
eral Government. On the contrary, its acts
have been aggressive to the hist extent,
and it is no exaggeration to say that the
Government at Washington has .wrought
more injury to the 3onth since the war
than it was able to effect daring the con
flict of arms.

The Late Bishop Soule.—In the ad
dress’of the Bishops, read by Dr. Wight-
man, of -Sonth Carolina, before the Metho
dist General conference at Memphis, were
the following remarks opon the character
of the late Bishop Sonle:
With profound emotion we annonneed to
yon that since yonr last session onr venera
ble and beloved colleague, Joshua Soule,
has departed this life. His death occur
red in Nashville, Tenn-, March 6,1867, in
the 87th year of Lis life, and the 70th
year of his itineaant ministry. In many
respects Bishop Sonle was a remarkable
mac. At the time of his death he was
probably tbe oldest traveRing preacher in
America, if not in the world; and was tbns
the connecting link between the Methodism
of Wesley and Ashnry and that of the
present day. Throagbout his whole minis
terial life he was eminently devoted to 6od,
and employed exclusively to the service of
the Church; often filling positions of the
highest responsibility, and always honora
bly and useful. His mind was clear and
vigorous, his deportment dignified, and his
whole coarse was marked by consistency,
parity, and nnswerving fidelity to princi
ple. Whether viewed as a man, a Chris
tian or minister, or as filling the highest
office in the Chnrch tor forty-three years,
his character deserves to be held in the
highest esteem, and his memory to be per
petuated in tho history of the Church.—
We devoutly thank God for sneh a man,
and for the gifts and grace which rendered
his eventful life so useful, his declining
years and closing days so beautifully serene,
so snblimcly triumphant.
