Yesterday The S'.:.v made a rmintnjr three-minutes' comment on the discussion over the Blaine resolutions. The subject is broad enough for a far more elaborate consideration than can be given to it in one newspaper ai title of th average length. Blaine avows a two-fold purpose in in troducing the resolutions-: "First, to place "on record in definite and authentic form "the frauds and outrages by which some of "the recent elections were carried by the "Democrats in the Southern States. "Second, to find jf there be any method by "which a repetition of these crimes against "free ballot may be prevented." In ad vance of the investigation that die demands at the hands of Congress he asserts his be lief in tlu existence of the very state of facts of which he seeks proof! In this eminently judicial spirit this vindicator of the majesty of the law goes on to name the thing which he has not yet proved was in existence. The christening, if we may so speak, is pro-natal. The baby more prop erly babies unborn are named " Fraud" and "Outrage." The world wondeis, but let the world be stiil a moment. ' It is Mr Blaine who speaks; let him: be heard through. "In South Carolina" Iij says, "there appe.nvd to have been no election "at all, but. rat '..era scene of . skirmishes "throughout th' State, polling places be "ing regarded as prints to be captured by "one party and held against the other. "We know u, hundred and six Congression al Representatives were chosen in States "formerly slaychohiing, and that the ' I.)em "ocrats 'elected one hundred and two of "them.. That entire political power wa3 "ihus founded on numbers of colored pco "p!e who had been seized and appropriated "to strengthen the Democratic party' Grant the' Maine Senators p-.emises, aud you are irresistibly,, drawn to his conclu sions., Concede the 'allegation that num bers of colored voters were "seized and "appropriated," and you make Mr. -Blaine the discoverer of a race of criminals, can nibals, and ' what not, down South, hitherto undreamed of and starkly diabolic as how revealed under the electric liglits of the Senator from Maine. But how were they seized, what were they seized with, and how were they "appropri ated" after the seizure? These are im portant queries. Mr. Blaine, who knew there had been seizures and appropriations of colored men in the Southern States ought surely to know who did the seizing and ap propriating, unless it was done in the night, and it was not alleged that the elections were held in the' night.' In that event how does Mr. Blaine know that the negroes didn't each man "walk off on h;s ear' in in the stilly darkness ? If it i was in the day that the seizing and appropriating took place somebody ought to have seen the singular transaction Did Mr. Blaine see. it? Where are Mr. Blaine's witnesses? "Why didn't he give the names of a num ber of credible bystanders, who personally were cognizant of the tremendous body snatching, that he alleges took place in South Carolina oh the Cth of November ? In the second place, Mr. Blaine desired to find a method ly which to prevent " a repetition of these crimes." Wanted a -patent-right to make the South Republi can once more! That is just what the Senator from Maine desires. He will not be gratified. The thing can't be done, at least not just yet and in that peculiar man ner. The resolutions are fine bluster biit mighty poor ammunition for party war fare. Mr. Blaine had something to say about the war having been fought in vain unless the people could see the Question through his spectacles. Tain, rain re mark, Mr. Blaine, and altogether unprofit able. The sort of body-snatching by which Democrats will rule Democratic States will go on all the same, Mr. Blaine, your resolutions and your wishes to the con trary notwithstanding. Senator Thurman's amendment provid ing "that the committee shall also enquire "whether any citizen of any State has been "dismissed or threatened with dismissal "from employment or deprivation of any "right or privilege by reason of his vote or "intention to vote at the recent election, or "has been otherwise interfered with, and "to enqire whether, in 1878, the money "was raised by assessment upon the Federal 'employees for election, etc., and further "whether such assessments were or were "not in violation of the law, and shall "further enquire into the conduct f the "United States supervisors of elections in "the several States, and as to the number "of marshals, deputy marshals and others "employed to take part in the conduct of "said elections," reduces to the minimum the flapping of the bloody garment which 1 I the Senator from Maine holds. Mr. Thar- I ' man, in his speech on his amendment, goes J A .New lork letter says: "otwitr I into the merits of the nnestion. U,ih to ! standing the fire rears' compact agreed to law and fact s. 1 1 is reference to the I- reed- I man s bureau and Union league as the be-1 pinningof the drawing of the color line was very apropo. The arpnroentofMr. Lamar 1 turned Blaine's gnns on Els own camp, , . , R 1 j 1 he able hoatbern-.Senator showed that l the power in this government wa3 at the North, and vindicated hi own jooplefrom aspersions. His speech, which ought to Ik; circulated as delivered throughout the .United Stales was onu of tutf most tri umphant vindications of the .South ever ) ra Hie m Congress. This debate will have its uses! Itwill uo goou to the Democratic party. An examination of Senator Edmund.-) speech satisfies us that at least for the pur poses of his electoral measure, to come up in Congress to-day, he is a State rights man. lie will hardlv "stick." THE BLAINE It L SI ESS. Mr. Blaine seems to le almost the only leading Republican .who feels that the capital stock invested by his party in bloody shirts will pay a dividend. Congress had hardlv met before the ajrile vounjrer Senator from Maine flourished a small parcel of resolutions as if he heldaschnetar in close proximity to a deadly foe. In this whole matter Mr. Blaine has acted ai if there were only a past and a future, the past secure and the future ditto. He ap pears not to read the papers, or. if he reads them, he puts his faith only in the Intter end Republican sheets. Such journals as the New York lhrul'd, the Phila delphia Taint, and the like, winch ac knowledge no party allegiance, could have informed the muscular Senator that the people of the North had been thinking a good deal since he used to be the pet lead er in the lower house of Congress and noted for his comparative ' moderation -of . views. They are rather with the then Blaine than the; now Blaine. They have grown in lib eralty and breadth,.' while he has shrank, and they will not take up, the old grudges and' hates, worn threidbare and cast aside years ago. The' will no respond to this blast from Mr. Blaine's ramshorn. In all this there should be a .lesson for the ultra Republicans. Certainly Mr Blame might learn something now. lie has always been credited with having a large share of bumptious knowledge, which he uses to the best advantage Tor 151aiiu lie seeks to be President. Let him know" that by such means as the resolutions pro posing an investigation into Southern elec tions he can never "climb the golden stair"1 to the White House. Hayes' conciliation card won in the last. Republican nomina ting Convention, and Mr. Blaine was eu chred. Will he make the same play a second time, and not expect a similar re sult ? This Blaine business is getting to be a petty nuisance which the .-.American- people will hardly tolerate much longer. It no longer commands the respect of even stal wart Republicans. There may be a few more flaps of the ensanguined raiment, but the crimson dorv of the garment has faded forever. Let no one fear that Mr. Blaine has the power to restore the color thereof.

The Philadelphia Times says that the -programme seems to be to run. Senator Thurman for Governor of Ohio next fall, just to show folks bow he can carry the State and what a valuable Presidential candidate he would make in consequence. The Legitimate Fruit. rhilafMpJiia Times. The election of AVade Hampton as a Senator from South Carolina in place of John Patterson was a foregone conclusion -but it marks another scene in the now rapidly closing drama of Southern Recon struction. Exit the carpet-bagger, enter the native; this has been the story of elec tions in the South for six years," and so it will go on until every seat in the national legislature is filled by one of the class for years under the ban of disfranchisement. It is the legitimate fruit of the'Republican policy of force which lias solidified the South against the Republicans. Watle Hampton is not the Senator that the North would have chosen for South Carolina, but that the Republican members of the Senate voted for him and that the Republicans in the House could find no better candidate than the degraded Mackey to oppose him, is an indication that the Democrats select ed their best man and that the Republi cans could not find a better or one so good. An Idea of Spotted Tail. Spotted Tail, the celebrated Sionx, was in council with his. braves the other week. During the session he told the Indians that no honest men were now to be found ; that a perfectly honest person had growing from the palm of his hand a tuft of hair. The Indians looked incredulous, but Spotted Tail gravely assured them that such was the case; that from his own palm a tuft of hair once sprung, but that he had worn if all off by shaking hands with white peo ple. - Reported Cutting of Freight Rates j v at tbJe Prodace Exchange this after- rjton that catting rates was again gain on at a lively rate, this ' time .on 'through freight to Liverpool from Chicago by way f f1 TilJl Wed, is an nnfair discrimination against vt nd tW is ranch coraolaint ? araontf merchants accordingly.

The State Executive Committee congratii i i latcs the Democratic-Conservative party ot North Carolina upon the result of the recent j Congressional elections at the orth. lnese elcctious clearly indicate three things which are of consequence to us : Firt, that the peo ple of this country ae diatilicd with the Republican party and are" unwilling for the Republican leaders to afflict us longer with their ruinous measures and fraudulent prao t ces. Second, that the Nationals do not meet with popular lavor, and, as a separate or-j uni at ion, have utterly failed to iiuprcts them selves upon the country ; and lastly, that the stir of the Democratic party is still in the ascendant, and the people are looking to. that party as the only one capable of restoring prOierity to the country, and able to admin ister the. government on those Constitutional and just principles, which are essential alike to the happiness of our citizens and to the perpetuity of our institutions. Thus in the elections held in eight States the Republicans have lost twelve members of Congress; the Nationals have elected four; and the Demo crats have elected twenty-three, and have gained seven. Thes? facts demonstrate that the people in tend to invest the Democratic party with the full control of the National Government. The Senate of the next Congress will be Democratic i by a considerable majority, and it is only necessary for the Democrats of the South to ! remain steadfast in their allegiance to our or- ! gaviization, and our triumph will be complete, j 7 ic? Vai. na r (lutiirnijun Vi I Ilia l.ativw.fl. I on which are inscribed Reconciliation, Home j Rule and Financial Reform, shall trail in the dust, or shill be borne on to victory. ! Every consideration of interest, oi policy ; and of patriotism then urges us to prepare imuiesiately lor the approaching political ! struggle. Be assured, fellow-citizens, that without preparation, it, will be impossible to achieve success. - Let us . ot by our apathy, our hike "warm- j ness and indifference postpone the accession ; to power ot that party which alone has been ! able to check Republican corruion and to arrest the progress of oer gover nment towards a centralized despotism. Let us be steadfast in our devotion to prin ciple, true to our organization and endeavor by every means to discountenance those inde pendents and disorganizes? who oppose our worthy standard-bearers freely and fairly chosen by the Democratic party in Convention assembled. In particular do we desire to repeat what we have so often urged the necessity of thorough loeal organization. It is the town sh'p committees who ar3 changed with the most important of all party duties. To them is committed the duty of supervising the election, and of devising means to bring out every Democratic voter to the polls. They ought to meet frequently and advise and take counsel together how best to promote the for tunes of that party, on w hose success depends so largely the prosperity-of themselves and of their posterity. In ever' township, in every neighborhood, there ought to be appointed a committee of active, efficient,, and prudent party men, who will undertake to see that every Democrat in the precinct comes to the polls and casts his ballot- for our nomlneee. i We therefore urge this upon the township i committees; and if in any township it is nc ! glected, we appeal to our Democratic friends j there to send their conveyances for all their j neighbors who otherwise might not attend the j polls. ' j Let it be clearly understood in every locali i ty that he who fails to vote for our nominee. I gives half a vote to the Republican part-, and that the Conservative who casts his vote for an independent is taking the surest means to break up and destroy the only party which can give relief to our alllicted country. We warn our fellow-citizens that great ends can not be accomplished except at the coetof some inconvenience, and oiten through the saeriliec of our personal preferences ; and we appeal to every man who has the good of the people at heart to give a portion of ;ne -day to his country, and subordinating his individual !

NOTICES OF THE PRESS. (Wilmington Star.) There is steady improvement. (Nlw Yohk Would.) Des'-rves the support of all Southern readers. (New Yiikk isi'N.) e wish success to ttiis interestiui; (nter- t Pnsc i (WfXOON Nkws.) It is a magazine, of merit and we wish it much success. (ClinONICLF. AND CONSTITniONALIST.") It richly deserves the cordial support of all our people. (Biblical Rlcokdlk.) It is printed in large, clear type and is a credit to the State. (Gukhnshoko Patriot.) , It is ably edited, handsomely printed, .and gives promise of being a very, very interesting publication. (Elizalkth Citv Economist.) Altogether creditable. Its contributors are first-class and its mechanical and typographical execution excellent. (Hillsijouo Recohdkk.), Its list of contributors is an an able one and if sustained, will ensure the permanent success of the enterprise. (Wilmington Post.) It is a first-class literay magazine, and one that the people of this city should be proud of and patronize, as well as the people of the w hole state. (Uai LIgh OhKi'.vr.it.) It is needless to kiv we wish it success, and ! that we look forward with pride, as well as i pleasure, to the r 'suit of the ctiterpfce as one i mat .win reiiect nonor upon 1 lie fctate. (UXFOJJO lOIK 1IL1GIIT.) The typographical execution of the magazine j is very line, and in point of appea-rance, coh- j tents, and indeed in all respects it is a publi- i cation which must, commend itself to. the public. - j (Ukaiiam Gleankic.) It gives promise of being eminently .worthy of public patronage. No commendation of j Ours would equal a simple s-tatement of the table of its contents, with the names of the I contributors, which we give as an evidence of j of the worth of the periodical. (Fakmek and Mechanic.) j Here v.-e have a rich bill of fare from South- .. i Tii iite i vatereu u) a .Toutueru lauy and ' printed by routh cm printers, ori Southern paper. Ye who bewail the lack of Southern ' literature, and home-fostered talent, shall this enterprif-e Jive, and expand '. (WlL Advance.) The magazine is well gotten up. The sub ject matter is varied and entertaining, while its typographical apjn-ar..nce is a model ol neatnets, and refiects the highest credit upon the exquisite taste and excellent judgment that suggested and directed its consummatioti. (Norfolk Virginian.) This publication appeals to the people of the South for a staple support. It richly merits it and we feel will receive it. We know of no Southern literary venture that has exhibited so much merit, united with an evidence of management that must win for it a position in the ranks of magazine literature and hold it. i (PETF.r.SBCKG INDEX & Al'PEAL.) The Soj-th-Atlaxiic has this merit over any of its predecessors in the same arena, that its contents are solid, though not heavy, and thatno room appears to have been intended in i it for productions of a trashy and frivolous i character. While it continues to adhere to ! this rule, it will have every claim ori Southern and general support, and we sincerely trust ii will receive it. j (Danville News.) ; , This L a most excellent publication a inag : 'azine of high character, an honor to the State, j and a credit to the whole South. All its pages arc tilled with articles of superior excellence ad interest. It has for its contributors some of the best known authors in the South, is ably edited and neatly printed. Fhu splendid ( KALEIGU .M.W8.J Peculiarly Southern in ft character, and numbericg among its contributors seme of the best and most vigorous writers in the country, it bears upon Its face the stamp of originality and force. The interest of its serial stories has never ceased, while the shorter, casual articles have been marked by a vigor peculiarly their own. AH topics are discussed, and thus the world's progress is closely followed. The magazine has from its inception been received with peculiar favor by North Carolinians, nor have its merits failed to receive last encomiums from persona of ability everywhere. tf The News and Courier, CHARLESTON: S.
