1 </ he (True (Citizen. The Survival of the Fittest. WAYNES noun, HA., (It "I't >I1EU III.INKM. Arkansas lias its colored ! agitators who arc always stirring up strife and ereatinsr trouble ninonjr | their people as well as other sec tions. One of these fellows lately wrote a long letter to I'nited States Attorney (tenoral, at Washington. ]). C., detailing a long list id" griev ances to which the colored people <rf that State are subjected, 'l’he Attorney General very properly re fers him" to the laws of the State, and tells him if the State laws are in conflict with the Constitution of the I'nited States to appeal to the Supreme Court. This was rather cool talk, and now J. \V. Niles is anxious to take all the darkies in his arms and carry them to a more genial clime. war Dispatches from Washing ton bring the intelligence that the I'nited States Supreme Court, through Justice Bradley, has de clared the thirteenth and fourteenth amendments to tin* Constitution unconstitutional. Tins is as it should he, and the rejoicing will he general, but it will come as the largest sort of a surprise to tin* ne groes, who have been made to be lieve by the Republican party that they were entitled to all sorts of so cial privileges. The decision was unanimous with the exception of Justice Harlan. Thus at last lias theciyil rights bill with all its ac companying evils forever disposed of. The fact is, both these amend ments were passed to affect the South alone, but their action became too general and wore much more troublesome to the people of the North than to those for whom they were intended. I fence their ab rogation. war The tariff question looms up before the politicians “grand, gloomy and peculiar” in its appear ance. It is an elephant which nei ther party wishes to win; the mass of the people, the consumers, who hold the votes, want only a reve nue tariff; the maufacturors, those who hold the money, are clam orous for a “high protective tariff.” Upon these platforms stand tin 1 two (dasses in all sections of the coun try, regardless of party lines and aliiliation.s. This is the difficulty that must be mot by the leaders of both parties—hence the dilomn.— We arc with the people. The day may have been when the feeble manufactures of the country should have been protected; but, if so, that day has past. Capital is too strong, crude material is too cheaply and easily procured and skilled labor too abundant to leave any neces sity whatever for the protection of our manufacturers against foreign competition. Our home manufac turers can produce their wares as cheaply as foreigners can, and there is no justice in forcing the great mass of the people to pay an enor mous tax to build up the interests of the few, or to till the pockets of the few by taking it from the many. It is not Democratic. The government must be supported, and as all political economists agree that it is better to raise that support by tariff than by a direct tax, there should bo a tariff lev-, led for revenue and for revenue on ly. All the complications of the tariff question exist in the minds of the politicians who fear the influ ence of the capitalists.

We visited Augusta Tuesday purely for business purposes, and ♦with not the slightest intention of lending our presence at the lecture of the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, which was delivered that evening in the Masonic Theatre. Just before time for the lecture to begin, how ever, we were captured by a party of friends from tin* ’boro, and taken along nohobi ro/ni.s, and thus was our intention not to be present en tirely upset. We were prepared to hear some thing rich, and were not disappoint ed. As a literary effort the lecture was almost perfect, his figures were well drawn and always close fitting to the point to be illustrated. Bui want of space forbids that we should follow the illustrious lecturer with anything like a close criticism.— We must, however, he allowed to take issue with Mr. Beecher upon some of his theological positions; to illustrate—and let one example* suffice—the lecturer held that Adam did not, could not fall—it was im possible for him to fall. If Mr. Beecher is correct in this position, then there was no necessity for a Redeemer, and lie whom the Chris tian world has received as the Christ was an imposter and the Blltle a lie. This is a fair criticism of Mr. Beecher’s position, and if this is a specimen of his boasted “advanced theology.” we are compelled to write his theology down, as blasphemy, and by its insidious ness—being spoken by a professed minister of the gospel—it becomes more dangerous to the Christian church than all the utterances and all the writings of all the open and avowed Infidels who over lived or spoke or wrote upon the subject. We have said that the lecture as a work of art was almost perfect, and could we have divested the lec ture of the lecturer, there were parts of it which we would have enjoyed intensely. But we could not rid our mind of the thought that he hail used that mighty Intellect to mislead and destroy a confiding woman, it operated to thill the en joyment of Ills most brilliant sallies. But we are told by some that they do not believe the story of his damnning sin. We know not from whence comes this unbelief, unless if is predicated upon his plea of “not guilty” before the courts. Ilis miserable victim who, torn from a high social position, bereft of a hap py home and family, to-day mourns the error of her contldcnce in sack cloth and ashes, is entitled to some belief in this matter. We do not care to further delineate the char acter of this, man who holds wo man’s purity in contempt, who in cites Ills people to rapine and mur der and who can Insult his Hod with hold ntl’rontry, CLEARLY AND FOIUTnt.Y TO THE public, I am prepared this season to meet the wants of the people In a manner which must give satisfaction t o each ami every patron.
