CHARLOTTE:
MONDAY, A PHIL 7, 1873.
The new test of loyalty and true Repub
licanism is devotion to Grant. .- It once was
devotion to the Union, but that has chang
ed ra. these days of progress. Thus the
Legislature of Massachusetts censured Sen
ator Somner, because he wished as a mea-
sure qf conciliation to abolish the war de
vices from the regimental flags of the army.
Y tuttier, the poet, and other leading Ab
wiiLiuuiaiH 01 ine 01a scnooi, nave tried in
i i' i it ; 1 . - .
vaiu ;io gei mis resolution or censure re
scinded. But Vice-President Wilson has
recently done a more disloyal act according
to thejold standard of loyalty, than that o
. Senator Sumner. He actually invited J.
B. Gordon, a fighting general of the rebel
lion, to preside over the loyal US, Senate
But Massachusetts has no vote of censure
for Wilson. He is a Grant mafl and Sum-
' net lsjan anti-Grant man. Behold the dif
fereneel '
So, Longstreet, a rebel officer, is taken to
the. loal bosom, because he is a supporter
. of Grant hus, the leaders of secession
in Noij-th Carolina are the recipients of
Federal favors, because they favor Grant
But the old Union men, Vance, Graham,
&c , are held in abhorrence, because they
oppose the dictator. Joe. Brown, the great
secession Governor of Georgia, has been in
and .out of favor according as he has given
his allegiance to the "smoky Caesar" or re
fused it. So hundreds of illustrations might
be given of the same truth. The one-man
power; is getting to be felt more and more
every day. The Republic of our fathers has
passed away. An empire can be establish
ed upon its ruins with ease... The old Re
publics can never be restored.
. ' -..i H - :
Personal Gun. J: B: Gordon and "his
accomplished lady were1 in Charlotte on
Wednesday. The gallenf hero of scotcs
of had-fought fields was looking remark
ably Vell, notwithstanding his numerous
wounds. The General had a way of get
ting hjit in many of the battles he was
' in and after one or two casualties" of that
kind, Mrs. G. resolved to stay with him
to nurse him.. To her loving care, he is
doubtless, indebted ; for getting safely
through some, of his worst wounds. Mrs.
G. was almost as well known by the sol
diers as her intrepid husband. , Many still
living will remember her attempt to
rally jthe disorganized fragment of troops
in Early's great disaster in the Valley.
Gen. E. (a confirmed old bachelor,') was
not in favor of officerrhaviug their wives
with them. On a night march he en
quired whose ambulance that was, and
being told that it was Mrs. G's. he growl

i-.i.i ; mr- -i
as little as Mrs. G. 1"
Morrill, the- great Tariff leader in the
II. Si Senate, and Boutwell, late Secretary
of the Treasury, were also in town.
Boutwell was the hero of the Radical
victory in this State last Summer. Not
being in his regimentals on this occasion,
he dTnot attract so much attention from
the faithful.
Mr. G. B. Lamar, of Savannah, Ga.,
wasj amdng our distinguished visitors.
Some thirty years agonMr. D., his wife
and six children, were on board the ill
fated Pulaski. All' perished except him
self and one son, who afterwards gave his
life for. the,. Confederacy. It will be re
membered that Mr. Lamar brought suit,
a few years ago, against the U. S.
for a! large , amount of cotton seized in
Savannah.
New Hampshire. Thfiu news from New
Hampshire is particularly cheering to Dem
ocrats. The entire Congressional delega
tion; is Democratic, while the Republicans
have lost heavily ph the popular v vote.
Straw, the Republican candidate, is probr
ably elected Governor by a very meagre
majority. - While the Radicals have been
in possession of the State, they have suc
ceeded in gerrymandering it so that if the
Democrats should carry it by a large ma
jority, the Republicans would still have a
. majority in the Legislature. They .have
also done the same thing in Connecticut
Their rule in these States has been charac
- terized by the unfairness it has everywhere
exhibited. It looks now very much as
though light was breaking in upon New
to ; understand' what Radicalism is and
what it has been doing for the country.
Thd Democracy of New Hampshire are de
' serving of the highest" praise for the gallant
ght they have made, and for the noble
vroik they "have done. If other States f ol
- low in her wake, the country may yet be
'redeemed, and the destructive schemes of
Radicalism thwarted. Titusville (Pa.) Cour.
Xisaenino Wisdom. The Greensboro
; Patriot tells of a man, who loaned $857
to )an entire stranger in the loyal North.
The loyalist, strange as it may seem, did
not return the money, but he talked very
sweet to the. trusting man from North
Carolina.
The New Postal Law.
: The Postal Appropriation bill approved
March 3, 1673, contains the following
clanse:
"Provided,' that all laws and parts of
laws, permitting the transmission by mail
of any free matter whatever, be and the
same are hereby repealed from and after
June 30, 1873."
This abolishes the franking privilege held
by Congress and so, many Government offi
cers. ' . I
It also abolishes section 35 of the act of
March 3. 1863: '
"But the publishers of weekly newspa
pers may send to each actual subscriber
within the county where their papers are
pnniea ana puDiisnedA one copy tbereo
free of postage."
Aula auonsnes section 45 of the same
act:
"AR publishers of periodicals, magazines
and newspapers, which shall not exceed
sixteen ounces in weight, shall be allowed
to interchange their rmhlieatinns
cally free of postage; provided, that such
interchange shall be confined to a single
copy or such publication, '
The law remains unchanged which ner-

Immigrants. 'the New York Express savs
that there is a project on foot among some
of the most eminent capitalists to establish
a scheme of immigration to the State of
South' Carolina, the main purpose of which
is to increase the cotton production of the
State. There are to be no unworthy per
sons added into the ranks of this large ar
my, but it will include only well-tOdo work
men and their families. i
Charleston Merchants Victimized. -Several
prominent cotton merchants here have
been victimized by one Wm. Meade; who
shipped one hundred and thirty-six bales
of cotton hence to Philadelphia, per steam
er Equator, on Friday last. The cotton is
said to have been fraudulently obtained,
and, the losers warn all persons gainst ne
gotiating the bills of exchange for the cot
ton. !

Col. Aikes. We had the pleasure of
meeting Col. D. Wyatt Aiken in the city,
yesterday, just returned from the West.
Colonel Aiken represents things in the
Mississippi Valley as unattractive, labor
demoralized, money scarce and planters
despondent. -With all the evils of our pres
ent condition, and all the faults that may
justly be found with the course; of things
here, he infinitely prefers poor j old South
Carolina to the rich countries he has re
cently visited. Patience friends. Speed

W hat a Shocking Sight. One Samuel
W. Melton, by the grace of Satan made
Judge (1) in the State of South Carolina, a
white man, a Caucasian, saw proper, at
the late Inauguration ball at "Washington,
to lock arms with a couple of negro women,
and promenade the hall.the observed of a
thousand disgusted and sickened observers.
It was a loathsome sight; men' and women
of refinement looked upon the: debauched
hero of this humiliating exhibition with un
disguised and inexpressible contempt. Bal

The New York Day Book commenting
upon the conduct of the loyal! S. W. M.
says :
We dd not blame the niggers. They
of course were proud to be thus placed in
juxtaposition with an individual, demoral
ized though he was, of the superior race;
but what truly refined and beautiful white
woman would feel honored by the atten
tion of this dirty-minded white official,
judge" though he may be, after this bold
ly manifested social position ? Pow do the
white citiiens of South Carolina like the
pioture? What would Calhoun, Poinsett,

rience in looking upon it? Alas! poor,
disgraced South Carolina ! To be made to
realize that the time could ever come when
one of your white citizens, a leading judici
