Any person otherwise qualified by age ami residence, who, having beid office under thc United States, afterwards engaged in rc bel ?ion, or gave aid and comfort to tbeit enemies. 4:h. Any person otherwise qualified b} r?sidence und :.ge, who, having been a mern ber of a legiol.itare, or hiving held executive or judicial office under a general law nf a State, afterwards engaged in rebellion against the United Slates, or gave aid una comfort to their enemies. 5th. Any person otherwise qualified by rcs idenc_? and age, who has been disiranchised by the sentence of a competent judicial tri bunal for felony. Gib. Any person otherwise qualified by res idence aud age, who bas been disfranchised by law ; for example, -J. citizen of Tennessee; disfranchised by the costitution and laws of that State, for participation in thc rebellion, who has become a resident cf North or South Carolina. II. A citizen, not included within either of the above specified classes, although he may have voluntary taken part hi the rebellion, is qualified ; so a citizen included within the 3d or 4th class, whoso acts in aid of rebellior were not voluntary, is qualified. In general, dlicers of mere municipalities, towns or village;! are not embraced in thc 3'J and 4th classes ot paragraph 1. ; tat example : a policeman or a member of a town guard, appointed by town or city authorities : locui health officers, weighers, measurers and in spectors of merchandize and produce : persons holding deputations from civil officers, such as deputy sheriffs, aud the like : clerks and assistants appointed or employed by ci vi: officers: pound masters, jailor? appointed by sheriffs, etc.: these are not offices created by law for the administration of a general kw of a Slate, or for the administration of justice. There are, however, certain municipal or town officers within tho intent and meaning of the Ac!? of Congress, and who by subse quent acts in ?dd of tho rebel'ion, would bt disqualified. For example, a mayor of a city, or tuteudant of a town, who may have been, by virtue of bis office, a magistrate, having authority by law to hear and determine com plaints for petty offences, and to impose pun ishment by fine and imprisonment up)n of fenders: cr to arrest, commit or hold to bail persons charged with crime. Municipal or town officers, having authori ty to enforce mero local ordinances in the na- > tire of police regulations, for thc preset vation of order, the regulation of trade, and the abatement of nuisances, or other strictly cor porate matters, are not within the disfrancbi sing provisions of the Act. The circumstance, nevertheless, that the duties of an-officer wero performed within a p-oscribed locality, as for instance, either a District, County, Parish, City or Town, doe> ?ol screeu him ?rom the < peration of the dis qualifying clauses, prodded, bis duties bad been prescribed by a geceral law ; for exam ple, Sheriffs of Counties, and Constables of Towns, fill olfices created by law for the ad ministration of general laws of tho State. Nor is every employment, although held by virtue of a law ol the Slate, and compensated by a salary fixed by law, and raised by a gen eral Ux, au ellice ; for example, a teacher ir. a Public School, or College supported or en dowed by the State; physicians and atten danu employed in State Asylums for the Deaf and Dumb or for Lunatics, do not bold offices, although these persons are in the pub lic service. Officers of Militia, employed in thc execu tion of tho Patrol Lata, or other !"wa having relation to the domestic order of Oie State and thc government of thc slate population therein, and who afterwards engaged in the rebellion, a-e disqualified ; such offices, although mili tary in name, are civil and executive in their duties. Certain employments, licensed by authority of State laws, having relation to the adminis tration of justice, are not offices within the meaning of the acts: for example, lawyers. All offices auxiliary to Courts, such as Clerks of Court?, Masters in Equity, etc. etc.. created by general laws, for tue administra tion of justice, arc within the meaning of the Acts of Congress. A Notary Public, beiog a mere ministerial officer, and performing no executive or judi cial duties, is not within the disqualilying claujes of the Acts of Congress. L:cal officers, having executive powers ann duties defined by general laws, and embraced within the civil polity of the State, although cho-en or appointed by the people of the vi cinage, are disqualified, ii, after holding such offices, they voluntarily engaged in the rebel lion, or afforded aid and comfort to persons so engaged: for example: overseers of highways, land commissioners, overseers of tho poor, Captains of Beat Companies. Naturalized citizens, having abjured allegi ance to all sovereignty other than that of the United States, and having taken upon them selves the obligations and duties belonging to citizens, and acquired thereby the rights and privileges of citizenship, who afterwards re nounced voluntarily their allegiance to the United States, and acknowledged allegiance to and became citizens of the pretended gov ernment ol tho "Confederate States of Amer ica," and voluntarily took up arms against the United States, or gave aid an 1 comfort to the enemies thereof, hav; cased by their own act to be citizens of the United States, and will bc deemed aliens until again naturalized as citizens of the United States. The ca*C3 of all sach persons will however, be specially noted on the Books of Registra tion, for further consideration before the final revision prior to an election. UL Applications for registration, whether accepted or rejected, and whether the oath js administered or not, are required to bc re corded in the books furnished, and when the applicant is deemed by tho Board to be ex- ; eluded from taking tte oath, a brief memo randum of the groun Js of Buch decision will b1 entered for future tevision.

GEN. D. E. SICKLES. J. W. CLOUS; Capt. 38ih Inf., A. D. C. & A. A. A. G. IMPORTANT DECISION.-Judge E-skine, pre siding in the United States District Court, now sitting at Atlanta, has decided that a promisor/ note, given in 1864, for '".ie hire of negroes, wa-? void, as contrary to lue policy of the Government, thc negroes being free at the time of making the note. Thc Judge far ther decided that, as the note was agreed to be paid in Confederate Treasury notes, the plaintiff could not come into court and ask a judgment for money. REGISTRATION IN THIS STATE.-According to a table made up by the Charleston Mercu ry, tho registration in this State, thus far, foots up: Whites 18,309; blacks 42 532 majority for the colored population, 2l?, 133. Ibis result will not be materially changed by the second visits of the registrars. Effect of thc Amnesty. We have already intimated our belief that j the proclasiaiiou of the President would re move all disabilities bom that class heretofore prescribed for participation in the rebellion. That ail persons to whom thc provisions of the amnesty extend, are thereby enfranchised, and have the right to vote at ail future elec ,ions, there can be no doubt. Thij opinion rs sustained by ibo National Intelligencer, the j organ of the President. It always speaks by the card, and its opinions arc the reflex ol' those of the President and Cabinet. Wc ex tract the following significant paragraph from its article ou thc effect of the amnesty proc lamation : "During the deliberations of thc Cabinet, yesterday, it is understood that it became evi dent that, in the opinion of every member present, the legal effect of the contemplated amnesty proclamation would be to relieve all persons included within its terms from all disqualification, aspell as all penalties in Carred by their complicity in the late rebel lion, and, of course, (so far as the oc'ion of the General Government io concerned.) from disability as to the exercise of the right of suffrage. We may, therefore, congratulate the country upon the prospect of a epeedy settlement pf all our difficulties upon princi ples conformable to tho Constitution, and in harmony with our republican form of Govern ment. That such will be its effect, no sound lawyer entertains a doubt, n-T is it to be pre sumed that it will bc seriously denied by any considerable number of respectable men of the radical party in or out of Congress." In view of this semi-official opinion, it is the duty of every Southern man to subscribe to the oath specified in the proclamation, which is made a condition precedent to the reception of thc benefits of the amnesty. Phoenix. From Memphis. MEMPHIS. September 13, noon.-Some time since the office of thc Eagle newspaper at Camden, Arkansas, was destroyed by soldiers led by Msj?r Piere?. Coi. Gilbert, command tag, wrote Gen. Ord, in which be said that the censures of the press directed againa! the servants of the people may be endured, but Generals Ord and Neil's forces were detailed to enable them to perform their duties-they were not servants of the people of Arkansas, but rather their masters, and bc felt it to be a great piece of impertinence for newspapers in the State to comment on Neil under any circumstances whatever. Gen. Ord, in reply, says : Your letter of the 13th inst., in which your attempt to justify aa act cf a party of soldiers who, misled by an oftr.-er, forcibly entered a citizen's house and detuoyed his property, is received. Yon will please explain why this act was not pre vented by vou as post commander, and if the rfctiuirement of the 321 article ol* war has been complied with "/ Your assertion that Gen. Neil's forces are not the servants of the people of Arkansas, but rather their masters, is unjust both to the peopie and Gen. Neil, and -unfounded in the laws vrhich are for the benefit of the people. The assumption that a party of soldiers can, at their optio'n, forci bly destroy a citizen's property, and commit a gro-s violation of the public pe-.ee would co; be tolerated under a Napoleou. - - - Thc Great Issue. The New York Herald sticks to its colours on the subject of white against negro supre macy. In its issue of Mouday it says : We have been four years under tie thral dom fixed upou us by another corrupt coali tiou-that ol' the Puritan and thc nigger ouly this was a more atrocious barguiu than che other, as the national puiposc that has been betrayed was one nearer the national heart than any mere choice of u magistrate, however high. Between Puritan and nigger was made the bargain to give to the half civ ilized slave supremacy over his former mis ter, in order that the political balance of this brutal, ignorant and unreasoning vot; might retain the Puritan in power. That is the exact present position of ihe R-.id.cal party. In accomplishing its purpose thus fur it has traded away every tittle of principle it origi naliy had from the souices of power, und has reduced the business of government to a grand swindle, filling high places with cor rup'.ion beyond all parallel. Will the people submit? Will they consent to see the prin ciples upon which the nation stands traded to and fro, between . coundrels to whom the gam . biers, thimble-riggers und pocket book-drop pers of our streets are, by comparison, hon est dealers ? Will they see the very heart and life of the nation rotted out, that a era ven, brutal people, to whom slavery was more a benefit than a degradation, may bo set in power above thc white men of thc country 1 California answers " No !" And in her voice we may hear what i.-. to como from the peo ple ofNew York and Pennsylvania-the doom of tho political traders. The people are no longer to bc deceived hythe shibboleth or party cries that have covered with the name of Ireedom all this atrocious scheming. They will make a salutary example of the schemers. FROM MEXICO.-Thc New York Herald ot Saturday says : Our City of Mexico letter is dated July 29. President Juarez had completed the forma tion of his new Cabinet. Thc whole country has been laid off into military districts, to which Regules, Diaz; Escobedo, Corona and Alvarez have been assigned in command. On the L3th of July the President was accorded an informal reception, which was rather cn indifferent affair, the people being conspicu ously wanting in thc usual Mexican enthusi asm for brilliautpageantries. A youth named Maximilian read a poem dedicated to Juarez, and a little girl named Carlotta presented bim with a golden crown. Diaz had had almost a rupture with Juarez ou the subject of the expected execution of fourteen more prisoners of war, and it was through his eff. rt that they were respited. He is reported to have threat ened Juarez with the forcible intervention of tho army which he commauds unless the sen tences were suspended. Carlos Miramon has 2.COO men in the mountains, and recently shot ninety Liberals iu revenge for his brother's death. RIDERLESS RACING IN* NEW YORK.-It is said that several Italian residents of New York contemplate introducing on our race tracks the system of racing so common in Florence and Rome, running horses without riders. A thong of Lather is attached to the girths of the animal ; on this thong, at vari ous distances, tri-pointed spurs are placed, and as the horse dashes forward these spurs striSte on his flanks, and the greater his speed the more he is goaded along. It is proposed f.s soon as sufficient funds have been raised, to adopt one ot the New York race courses for the purpose, as the track has to be fenced off on the inside as well as the outside.

And ono who has been for many years a citizen of our own District-WILLUM GRECO, Esq., cf Orangeville. The-death of this universally es teemed and distinguished citizen-whose m?mory deserves to be cherished with speci'd pride by Edgefield, a District in which his works will ever follow bim-took placo at Kalmia, bis home near Graniteville, on the 13th inst. Wishing to pay to the memory of our departed fellow-citizen a worthy tribute, wo can do no bet ter than adopt the terse and truthful words of the Charleston Daily Nctct: DEATH or WILLIAM GMEOG, ESQ -It is with a saddened heart and reluctant pon that wo record the sudden death of the above named well known public spirited citizen. No man in South Caroli na, it may bo safoly said, has been more closely identified with her material interests, the devel: opmenr of her resources, and the progress of her people, (han William Gregg.' Years ago he was a resident of Charleston. Re cognizing the importance of cotton manufactures in the State, he moved to Graniteville, and there kid the foundation of the present prosperous vil lage, now tho site of thc largost cotton factory in South Caroline, and one that may well bc adopted ns a model of order, economy and perfection in the art. United to rare practical tulents, large informa tion ncquirid by reading, travel and experience, bo frequently gave to tho public in former years tho benefit of his suggestions, and our older citi zens and planters will remember the progressive views which be took occasion to set forth in pam phlet and journal from time to time, and tho in teresting discussions to which they gave rise. Mr. Gregg was emphatically a self-made man. He started business lifo when a boy, dependent on his own efforts, at wages of twenty-five conta a day. He ended lifo a millionaire. And the re ward of energy, honesty and ability could not have boca bestowed upon a worthier man. He never forgot the poor. He never neglected to en courage honest industry. He never failed to honor those who deserved well. The wealth he accumu lated was employed in giving homes and employ ment to his operatives, in the enlargement of his manufacturing enterprises, in the education of the children growing up around him, in thc support of tho teachers ho employed-in short, he applied his means wherever he found th?t tho interest upon his capital could be illustrated by inte'.li gence, activity, and general good. Such men aro always a loss, and whtrevsr theso paragraphs arc read-for Wm. Gregg was no ob scure man-sorrow will bc expressed that one so useful, so into, so genial, so thoroughly thc friend aud father, at once tho upright citizen and con sistent Christian-should be called away before bis labors were done, and at a period when his ripe knowledge was being constantly invoked in behalf of tho welfare and commorcial growth of our people. Wo are iuformed that the cause of tho death of Mr. Gregg was fever, supcriudueod by exposure while directing the reconstruction of a dam at ilranitevillc, which hud been recently washed away. He had held sundry offices of honor in tho State, and was a member of various incorporated com panies, and it is but a few days sinco he attended a meeting of tho Board cf Commissioners of the .South Carolina Penitentiary, of which ho WBE Chairman. Every man has his appointed time allotted him, a short and irrecoverable term of existence is assigned to, bestowed on all ; but to extend onr fame, our renown, to gain a good nume by distin guished achievements, this is indeed true virtue's work." Stricken from thc Roll of Active Life. SAMUEL BROOKS, Esq , anotherwell and widely known citizen of our District-a resident of ?ur awn town-depatted this lifo on Sunday night lastt. His long life was spent in buries : industry ind the quiet discharge of domestic ditties-a good citizen-a friend to the poor-an earnest, original, ecccn'.r'c man-one known very little to thc many, but warmly admired and eulogised by tho fow whom he called friend. And Still Another. Verily the list is startling ! Mr. DAVID CRASH, JUC of tho oldost citizens of this vicinity, a mem ber of ono of the oldest, original Edgefield fami lias:-a simply and thoroughly good man-one whose honest and blameless lifo entitles his mem ory to much respect.

May thc recoller lion of his many high qualities and virtuel long survive. The Amnesty. On tho first page of our paper of this week, '.vii! be found, in full, the late A mn OJ'.y Proclama Lion of President .Ton.vsos. It does not announce that universal amnesty which would be of such incalculable benefit to the South, but very much snlarges the fourteen classes named in the procla mation of May 1S65. And the fact which gives jr may give-force and elfect to the said procla mation is this : that immediately in advance of this proclamation, the President issued another to th? military authorities requiring them to abstain from interference with Courts of Law. He has solomaly guaranteed the independence of the District Courts, and promisod to use tho power of j the Government te maintain their integrity. 'So, of course, those debarred the right of suffrage by net of Congress but pardoned by the President may now test their cases before the Judicial, tri bunals, and, if successful in their suits, prepare to exercise tho rights of citizenship. And, of | sonne, before the President can issue any order, which shall he effective, for the re-opcuing cf-the registry lists, that the lately pardoned moy regis ter, this quotion should bo carried before tbe Canns, and their judgment obtained thereupon. _n this important matter there is certainly no time to be lost, and assuredly partios interested will not be slow ?a having the question decided. If the Coarta decide in favor of the disfranchised, the President is pledged to uphold their decbion, howevsr much Congress may defy it. Thi? attcmpton the part of Congress to exclude from suffrage an immense majority of the ?est people of the South, including altogether whito silicons of intelligence, property and social weight, is the most unwarrantable scheme cf partira!* un scrupulousness which modern history will record. By it worthless demagogues hope to fill their pocket) with tho taxes imposed on honeit indus try. This however, does not concern us, nor any respectable class of thc people, so much as the ittciup: by these corrupt schemes to delude the poor ar.d ignorant negroes into the support of the :1HSS which, of all others, is the least able and '.he Inst inclined to promote their welfare and Avancement If they Ebould succeed, ia their lim, and by such means, every philanthropist will stand aghast at the consequences. It cannot be ixpected that those of our citizens who command ill tho trado and business of th? country, who :ontrol labor and capital, and who have at their lisposal all the social i tiuencos upon which the irelfaro of every citizen depend?' far more than jpon the exorcise of political rights, will suffer j ,hcm?c*ves to be excluded without just and legal :auic from all political privileges, all participa Lion in the government which is to bo supported jy their contributions, and regard with kindly "colings those who ure instrumental in effecting hoir disfranchisement. What can mercenary and selfish demagogues vho Feck to disfranchise wealthy and intelligent southern white men, and to use the negroes for heir owr purposes, offer the latter as ? compen ation for tho withdrawal of the favor and kind loss of the formor? Let not tho colored people maginc that these office and contract cormorants T?1 ever bc willing tn ?bare with them tho spatts if a party victory, or that, evin if they should, t would afford thom any relief for the loss of th.' latronngo and friendly aid of those who command nost of tho honest, industrial employments of he community. Let thc P.udica'.s, as well those in our midst ar hose further North, give the smallest practical ??roof of even a disposition to aid the freedmen md wc might regard with ?oreo indulgence thc n fat oatt on of tho latter in looking to them as rionds and listoniag to their counsel. It is truo hat thtso Eadicals profess unbounded devotion o the political rights and freedom of the blacks iccauso they need their votes. But with the ob aining of these votes thoir kindness ends. Can ?ot the freedmen live, prosper and grow fat; ducsto aud clothe their children ; get work, aud ecure attendance when sick, and he decently >uried after death; all through the exercise of | heir invaluable right of SP' age? They ask for iread; hf :? tho ba'' They ask for work; hey arc told t. ..icnd a caucus or join a Loyal iicague. Thus it is proposed to reduce this elati to a ondition of degradation, poverty and misery, rhich at the same time that it alienates from hem the good feeling and favor of tho respecta do class of the white people, will render them ho absolute slaves of Kadical d?magogue?. To save ourselves, thc freedmen, and society rencrally, from the consoquences of this debase uent, it becomes a duty of humanity and philan hropy for our good citizens to exert every facul y, employ every enerby, and spare no sacrifice, o circumvent tho designs so covertly indulged in gainst social peuco and ordor. One of the means rhich must bo employed to this end is a vigorous nd untiring protest against, and lawful resistance o, the attempted exclusion from political rights f more than half of the respectable, intelligent, lonest and industrious portion of the community. inite ns Hood ns Northern and Eastern Articlcs:--Il not Better.

And we'tell tho freedmen of thia section that when this man and all like him, have filled their pockets with Radical gold, or with money ex tracted from thc pocket* of Southern negroes, thoy can tako flight to distant lands, and there fatten upon their ill- gotten spoils. B it not so rr it li tito freedmon whom they address. With their* bearii and souls-filled with the hatred and malice incul cated by such speeches as they have lately heard, thtsc freidmen must remain hero, with the whites whom thoy have been taught to regari ss enemies. They will be compelled to remain here. And in view of this inexorable fact, is it not plainly the part of common sense and wi. dom and interest for then to preserve, by every possiblo means, amicable and kindly relations towards these whites? Nothing could, he more unfortunate, nothing more wicked in intent and ia consequences, than to excite or prc mote hostility between two classes bound by so many relations and considerations to a common destiny. Thoso who, without provo cation are laboring with such sntanic virulence to kindle these unnatural and fatal social bates ara the wor<t enomies of our government and society. Bsh ! have not the freedmen sense enough to know and Understand that from this time to the next Presidential elidion, the Southern States will bo a common raiding ground and stumping arena for Radical emissaries, o 't?i*ibly preach ing for the social and political wc-lfaro of the blacks, but in reality anxious only to win votos that may count for their party :--that party which is already so boldly opposing Ihe alluring of po litical honors, of?cuii and emoluments by the blacks:-tbnt party which has no eartbly use for tho black than to use him as ar instrument in ob taining and holding political power. And iu closing this article, TO append two ex tracts, both from iu Uuen ti al papers, which we hog the freedmen of this section tc read, mark, and believe in. We published them last .reek, hut the truths contained ia thom-truths so important to tho freedmen-may well be presented time and again : BOLD TALK.-The New York Citizen (semi Radical) says : Tho daily papers are making a grest muddle over the opinions of the prominent Gojerals and tho people at largo on thc question of reconstruc tion. They tdl us that Grant approves of the course of tho President, that Thomas agrcos with Sheridan, and that Sherman favors the plan ol' Congress or vice rm?, according to their political bias. We con tell thom all that if the Congres sional system u tu put the South in possession of tho negroes, it does not meot tho views of the people, the saibrs in our fleets, the soldiers in our armies, thc merchants at their desks, the farmers at their ploughs, or any other largo body of cur citizens.

Tim Lisa DRAWS.-Severa1 of the Virginia papers, including tho Charl?'to.iville Chronicle and the Norfolk Doy Book, that havo receutly manifested a desire to co-operate with the Radi ca's in restoring the State to the Union, have changed their views linea t!.i mooting of the Hunnicutt Convention. Tho Chronicle remarks as follows : "From tho proceedings of that Convention, it is almost impossible to discover that any white man was thero except Mr. IPinnicutt and Mr. Ilawxburxt. The colored people just took things in their own bands, and acted as if there were no white people in the State. They have defiantly organized themselves into a black man's party, and only on* .'''".f '"mains for the white people to do-to take up th* ??ore." "Our adv'': is this: let ur fight it out.

A telegram from Farmviile reports that a Fight too.: place in that town this morning !)etween some foldiers of tho 21st Regiment, LL S. A., and thc negroes. Tho soldiers had Deafen a colored man for rc fti ein g to sell them iquor last night, and were about, to beat an ther one this moruing, when tho negroes allied and a street fight ensued. The citi zens closed up their stores. A company of loldicrs was sent in thc town from the cam ping ground and restored order. One soldier iras stabbed io the melee *nd about a dozen r?ldiew ?sd negroes were badly beaten, leconstruction--Will It Ever Come ! About four years were expended ia thc ef ort to compel the people of thc South, by bree of arcas.'to regain in thc Union. At be end of that period, exhausted, ruined and leaten, the Confederates i>.id down their arms, ,nd accepted the terms of 'heir conqueror?, iincc that time, nearly two years and a half lave elapsed,.and from present appearances, hose States are no nearer the Union than on hs day when the last gun wiis fired. Too tarty in-power have not had the will cr the risdoin to form a practicable plan by which he original design of the war-which was bc restoration of thc Union-could be brought bout. They have tinkered and trifled with he subject until they have given serious cause or the "belief that they are better satisfied hat the South should be out of the Union han in it, at least until after the next Presi lential election, in which they hope and ex tect to obtain another, four years' lease o? tower. Certainly, the process of reconsfruc ion could have been carried to a successful esult in much le's time than has already teen consumed, and at a fraction of the CX iense that has been incurred. Thero was cc iccasion and no reasonable pretext for delay, ?very necessary or unnecessary condition rbich the victors thought proper to impose, night have been applied, and the States re urued to their places within six months of he termination of hostilities. There was tothing to prevent it, and it was a result i\ui ersally desired. But the subject was too ;reat for the shallow demagogues into whose ianda the reins ot. power had unfortunately allen, and the consequence' is that in thu hird year of peace we find thc country dis evered, the future full of doubt and uncer aiuty, tho prosperity of every section of the ouatry checked, a financial crisis looming ip, and innumerable evils threatened. And .11 this that a corrupt party, controlled by nen still moro unworthy and currant, may .dministcr ocr national affairs. Is it possible that the great mass of the American people ever refit ct upon this state if thiRgs, and that they are satisfis i with hem ? It would seem incredible. Wo in ilinc to the opinion that in tH North passion ias obscured the jjd^mcuts of thc people, nd that they believe that all thc evils which fflict them--the high price of living and the rushing weight of taxation-are the legiti uate conacqueuces of the war, when, if they vould cast!their prejudices aside, they would ec that much of what they attribute to this ause might have beeu avoided by a judicious .dministration of tho Government since the lose of tho war. If the Union had been promptly restored. ,s every one believed it would bc, and a* very one knew ihat it ought tobe, confidence FOuld have been inspired, trade would have C6umed its wonted courses, industry would lave been stimulated, capital which han lain lormant would have been invested, and the eneral prosperity of the nation would have eceived s tremendous impulse, which wuuld are plact d us beyond thc reach of the con ingencies and dangers which now impend, .'he capital arni labor which the South has o much needed would have poured in upon ier and repaired the wastes and devastations f the war ? her produc's would have been cultiplittd, her wealth increased, her ability o pay her proportionate share of taxation xtended, ind lbs ratio of taxa'ion upon both cctions would have been reduced. We cannot behove that thc people will auch longer tolerate this inexcusable trifling ud stupidity. Reaction must come, and, we hink, cauiiot long l e deferred. The popu ?r voice will soon bo raised, and will be giv n forth in such terms as will not fail to nako themselves understood.-Louisville Cou? ?er. THE COTTON TAX.-Tlie Worst in the List -Ko Tax on Crops.-The Cincinnati Ga ettels a Radical paper, but even the Gazette is ompelled to acknowledge the profound folly, he violation of true policy, and thc scientific illacy involved in taxing one of the staple roducts of the country, when that tax acts sa bounty to rival growers. In an article ecently published, the Gazette says : "The Government has increased the diffi nlty of the reconstruction of this culture by is tax of three cents a pound-the very worst ax in the whole list, which was imp -scd pon thc idea that this country still possess (1 thc monopoly of the cotton production rhea it had alnmdy slipped away from u?.

In the productiveness f the soil, and in the superiority of the qual ty of cotton, the United States have the ad antage over A*la. At tbesitme price no lil ian cotton would bo used. Throu.-h this uperiority we may hope to regain our for tier prestige, but it must be by increased pro uction and low prices. The difficulties of estoring the culture should not be increased y Government interference, either in the ray of a tax on the crops, or by tinkering rices by moans of the Treasury gold.

Negro ?presen tat i ves indeed ! They aro not lit to -?present the Radical party. Although they ompose ninety-nine out of one hundred of ie party, their business is to vote for such 'bite Radicals ns the Union Leagues shall esignate. They are to obey,, not dictate, lo e used, not use, to lift these, their political tasters, to place and power, not to lift then jives.
