Mis understandings are fruitful of more unkindly feeling in society than ever result from deliberate ill-nature. The question is, shall the president of the-Znited States 'ce permitted to or--anizp state legislatures to suit him sef by the illegal use of the United States army ?

It is contemplated to '-introduce into the French Assembly a "voting machine."

The Policy of Hate. ITS E.FFECT ON WHITES ANT) BLACKS IN THlE SoUTH. Gov. Smitmh, in hss message to the Georgia Legislature, speaks as follows of the evil em:et of the Radical policy 'on the prospects of the South: The eb'ief obstacle in the wvy of our adlvanicement has arisen from the co(urs pursued hy the party in posses siton of tie Federal Government to wa?rd the Southern States. One of the immedii:ote results oftitis policy hass been theC disr-:aniationI of our hibor, and the conseqjuen't large in e ose of idlleness, v-Jgraney and crime . it has been errei:eously aesum'edl that the lbtely entranchised ei:ss woudd not receive juist and proper treat u.ent from the~ wite pe~ople, and. to) purent this imaina"'ry evil the mis ch:iev~u-, an~d uneousonti tutional mecas nres knowa as the cuenrcnt acts h.ave beenci rescrie. to. We are now further thra:tened byv still greater aiols, in the passage by Cougress of what is commflonly designated as the civ il righlts b.ill. Should this great :ad unnrecewry wr.n be inflicted 1,-An us, I h:tzard nocthing in saying Loat it will be fIllowed by the im mediate overthruw of our public schoo.l Ss,tem,I by the complete demoraliza !ien o f our lbhor, by great injury to our tinances and to the holders ot our securities, and by further alienatio" het weenl the t wo classes of our popuila tion. The unwisdomn of the moeasure, au far at least as the State of Georgia concernecd, is shown by the fact tha. the l:ws of this State already ~uuarantee precisely the same rights oall the people, of whatever clkss. (tnitionl or color. We have one law for all-for the white man and the colored omau-for freeman and freed m:an. It is admitted that there are distinctions among us, but they are such distinetion:s as obtain among all peoples. undler all governments, and in all societies, and such as no govern ixent has heretofore undecrtaken to That such legislation is unnecessary 3n can be productive of mnischiei'onl we very well know. Self-intore4t, to taoke no higher view of the subject, woculd dictate to the white people the policy of forbearance, conciliation and :'air-dealing towards the colored race. Even when a slave, the negro was sure of protection and kind treatment, and now that he has become a free end idependent laborer, and possesses ever ega right that the white man has. it is still to th interest of the r lntter that his r:hts shr,uld be care. fully guarded. that his efficiency as a laborer should be increased, and that his zeneral condition should be in proved in all practicable ways. The erowning net in this course of usurpation nd wrong is the attempt to stifle. b,y the stron, arm of military power. the will of the people of Louisi ana. expressed at the recent elec,ion.i In popul3r governments the untrai Meled exe-cise of the election fran chi;e and the purity of the ballot box are at once tie f1n and essence of public liberty. The recent attempt i pervent the pupular wilf in L uisi avna- may well excite the gravest ap prelnminis. There would. indeed. be little ground of hope for the per-i petnity of our free institutions if such usurpation were met with public p.thy. Happily, however. it has produced the contrary effect. and pa triotisni finds encouragement in the almost universal sentiment of condem nation this grave wrong has evoked. The cbange in public sentimet in- I dicated by the recent elections also leads us to lork for an etrly reforima tion of the policy and practice of the Federal Government towards t h e Southern States. If the policy of irri tation should be abandoned, the two races would soon establish such social and business relations with each other as their own peace, happiness and true interest require. In other words, our people only ask that they be secured in the great right of local self-govern ient as it once existed in all the E States of the Union, but which is en joyed alone by the people of the North ern States. If the governienc will but give us home rule, a revenue ta riff. an honest and econoiical adminis tration, and , sound circulating me- I diuni. we shall not have long to wait for the return of peace and prosperity to all parts of the country and among all classes of the people. The Freedmais Bank. I SENATOR RoBERTSON STANDS SQUA RE LY BY THE DEFRAUDED DEPOSITORS. UNITED STATES SENATE CH.AMIER, WAS111N(TON. -January 12, 175. A. ). Jones, Esq, Cterk of House o if epresentatiies : SiR--i have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of the -concurreut resolution" of the ;encral Assembly of the State of South Carolina. relative to the Freed man's Bank. I cordially concur in the purposes of the resolution. The theory announced in the organi zation of the Freedman's Bank, by the Congress of the United States. that a place of safe deposit was to be I furnished, where our enfranchised fel low-citizens could securely ' deposit their earnings, was wise, and fouud a c,rdial response in every philanthrop iC heart. It tended to encourage habits of laborious industry and self denial, so important under the circum stances, and gave the hope of progress by material prosperity, which is the true basis of all aravanceiment. The mnisny>lication of the deposits in tihe Freedman's Bank cannot, therefore, but be regarded a great national calam it v. There can be no doubt but that credit was given to the bank, and de posits induced by the impression gene raliy existing that the Government of the United States was a guarantor of the institution, it is also notoriously true that officials of the United States, especially those enaed in the Freed man's Bureau. did hold forth every en couragem ent to depositors, and gave out that the bank was a national in stttution, and under guaranty of the I eneral government. By these means mumltitudes of our fellow-citizeus were iinduced to deposit their scanty means in the bank, often at the price of great self-denial on their part and the part of their families. Under this state of thin.is I consid er that the national government is un der a strong obligation to make good to depostitors all deficiencies. Holdin:; these views, I will do everything in my power to promote such legislation as is necessary to meet the purposes of the concurrent reso lution. Very r,:spectfully, T. J. R OBE RTSON. The ' N.v York Time~s editorially says:~ "W hether or not G ov. Chamn berain can succeed in securing~ any thing like retrenchment and reformi in South CawlAina, he is making nume rous~ effo)rts to do it. IIe has just sent a:w aspecial mnessage" to the State Legcislature, ini which lie speaks earn estly and, withal, manfully, lie makes an elaborate appeal to the legis htors to keep appropriations within the .!imits of the known revenue of the State-something which it appears exceodingly difficeult for them to do amd recommends the e'lectioii ofjustices of the poace by the people ; that a propecr registraution of voters be under taken: that competent teachers be se cured to replace incompetent ones now employed in the public schools, and thatt the 'contingeut fund" a veritable siik of iniquity-be abolished. It was only the other daiy that the meim hers of the Legi.slature made this con tingenit futid the means of an elaborate 'job." The Governor suggests the adoption of the plan of euniulative voting in maunicipal elections, believing that the practical working; of miinoritv rereseutat ion in the State should have a fair' triail. The message is a very creditable one, and the thing n 'w to be deaired of the Gov~iernor is a irm voi :e in deuouncing roguery, wherever he may see fre-sh cases of it,I :ud promphttness in the punishimenit of1 soundreis. A mild and temporizing policy will be of no avail, nv matter how maluy recommend1atiouis may be istued."

The many conflicting reports pre -ailing in regard to the Edgefield lifficulties during the past week are ubstantially summed up as.follows xen. Butler's house was set on fire by L negro, who admits that he was paid 1.) to coinnit the foul deed, by the iotorious Tennant. In the atteimipts rade to arrest Tennant there was hooting on both sides, and four colored nen were nortallv wounded. Intense .xcitement prevailed,and it was feared :at a wide-spread scene of bloodshed ,vould result from the incendiary con luet of the arch fiend who is respon ;ible for all the trouble which has thus far occurred. -There is but little doubt but that the burning of Gen. Butler's house, by wl-ich the lives of hi,; wife and :-hiUdren were endangered, was prompt d in retaliation for the action of the 1onmmittee in waiting upon the Guv rnor some time since in regard to the lilitia. The latest is that Tennant and a aumber of his company have been :rrested. An order issued for the arrest of Gen. Butler, caused that gentleman to leliver himself up. A committee of iix from the General Assembly visited Edgefield to investigate. All is quiet. Legislative. The Governor has had another test with the Assembly, this time in the matter of appointments of trial justices fr Chester. Among the list of nomi aations sent in by him were the names f several Conservatives. In the Senate, iowever, these names were laid over nd all others confirmed. Whereupon the Governor informed the body that when he could not find an honest, capa ble republican, that lie would aUpoint one from the opposite side, and that if it ws meant to-correet the abuses com plained of he must have their aid. He intimated further that he would not submit to ring dictation, and that if the tight was kept up .he would refuse to appoint until after the adjournment of the Legilatuire. The conseotuence w~as that the nominations were all confirmed. Resolutions from the Governor of Tir ginia, passed byV the General Assembly of that State, were p)resented on Satur day in relation to the military usurpa ion of Louisiana, condemnatory of the course pursued. The effe2ct of these resolutions was as might have been ex peted. The Phxcnix says that Whitte more cussed. The resolutions were ta bled. A bill has been introduced re quirng clerks of courts to record all marriages that shall take place in their respective counties. The House hill to provide for the registration of the qualified electors of the State was carried by a strict party ote, three Conservatives voting withi the lilpublicans. A bill to prevent cotton factors from taking an unfair advantage of those whose cotton they sample has been in :roduced. It provides among other items that factors found guilty of taking i greater quantity of cotton from a *ale than is necessary, shall be dleemled ;uilty of misdemeanor, and be punished i court discretion, ands hall account 'or the cotton so taken at its price per round.

The report of the Freedman's evings and Trust Company having ot into print. the pubheo will aIt last ~now something about one of the most itrocious frauds that has been as yet ~epetrated upon the colored people, od by which two millions of dollars f their hiardl earnings have been trob uled up by a "ring of christian states nen and adventurers." The apparent assets of' the bank are iven by the comnmsioners~ at S2,693, 39.0 The liabilities arc 26 . 31.Th. The assets are miade up of hat are described as '-ioans, real state and available" in the District of olumbia,amountingto S1.556,2665.20. l'he other million and odd dollars irc made up of toans at the South ra branches, (of which the conmmis sioners say that not one-half can ever be collected, (of Northmless securities and depreciated real estate. It is proposed that the governument shall buy the bank buildin'g and adjoining real estate in this city, which is estimated to be worth 8313.218.2ii. But Congress will probably refuse to do this, and it would not be surprising if the estate should be sold for one-half its esti mated value. Any resident of the District of Columbia need only glance at the schedule of loans at the princi pal office, to perceive that it' is utterly improbable that one-half of this sum :an ever be collected. On the other and, the expense of closing up the iairs of the bank, with the attendant i rifie, will be im. meise. It is therefore no exaggera- m tion to say that twenty per cent. at the most is all that the unfritunate depositors can ever r.eive of their .0.00(W(). This stu pI dA., jobbery is the direct consequene of the di- P honesty and disregard of law of the mn who have managed the affair, if the bank, many of whoi have h! made famous already by their connee tion with the Freedman's Bureau. the district ring, and other orL-anized Schemes of plauder. The report shows that 72.000 ctn fiding freedmen have suffered by the defunct institution. The amount d- fc posited in Charleston wa. S25345.y and in Beaufort,-St'5,592. The responsibility for these fraudui lent operations. extendi--( over nearly tenl years. rests upon thle s houlders of tt: a grtat mnany perSon;s-not only the < ofAietrs of the bank. but inembe,s ofm Congress who have assisted to shield i the banI from investigation. In fact nearly everybody who has ever been connected with the bank seems to share in the culpable managcmient. But the only persons who ean be pro ceeded against are the surviving offi cers of the bank who managed its loans: and that these men should be P properly punished it is necessary that a special act sha'l be passed. The k board of connissioners having the i it affairs of the bank in charge seem to be doing their duty faithfully, but it I is evident that a more thorough and C searching investigation, which seeks to find out men, and not the lost moneys of the poor freedmen, is neces sary to determine how many scoundrels shall go to prison. The Future or Charleston. 1: The future of Charlestou is thus described by the Chicago Tmes of Januarv 10th :c t CHICAGO AND CAARLESTON. A new competitor for the grain d trade of the Northwest is about to s appear in an unexpected quarter.- A Charleston, South Carolina, has be- A come reanimated, and will enter the A lists as a rival of New York. Boston, Philadelphia, and Baltimore, offering a better home market than either for I the grain and provisious ot the sectiou of which Chicago is the centre, and holding at least equal advantages f.r) commanding the export trade. Within two or three years Charleston will oc cupy the place in public attention that Baltimore now holds, aud the t completion of the Chicago and S.Outh Atl;. Railroad will be looked upon r as an event of importance equal at r leat to that of the Baltimore and t Ohio which has just been welconed a to this citV. In the dark days of the pauic of 1l7-3, a meeting of railroad iwn of the Northwest and Southeast was held in this city to consider the project of building a trunk line to connect the two sectious. Seven States-Illinois, Indinai, Kentucky, Tennessee, Geor- I gia, North Carolina, and South Caro-t lina-were represented. The confer ence resulted in a determination to forward the enterprise with all possible dispatch, and was followed by another. convention held two months later in Charleston, under the auspices of the I Chamber of Commerce of that city. The preliminary arrangements were at once comnpleted, and the great work was commenced. The Chiicato and South Atlanticf Railroad will constitute a trunk linei from Chicago to Charleston, the route I being from this city to the State line at D)yer, thence through Indiana to the Ohio River at Vevay. thence through Kentucky to London, thence via Spartanburg to Charleston. A very large portion of the line is already built aind in operation under different companies, while the new company is filling in the gaps, connecting the diferent links, and making one eon tinuous line, which it will control and operate. The road from this city to Indianapolis is under contract, and one hundred and five 'miles are nearly completed. The work is being pushed ahead as rapidly as a due regard for economy will permit, and the com pany's resources are said to be ample for the completion of the entire line. To the cities of Chicago and. Charleston this enterprise is one of vast importance; to the latter city it is ofC surpassing importance, andl its completion will be the beginning of a new era for South Carolina. The road will traverse a vast extent of fertile I territory hitherto untapped by any railroad, and will afford the means for an immense exchange of the products of various climates. It will open to Chicago an extensive market for grain and provisions, It is estimated thait forty millions of bushels of corn arce consumed annually in the Southeastern States, which will be supplied by this road, arid, with its completion, they will for the first time experience the' benefit of an abundant supply of cheap provisions. There is no better mar-keti in the country for the rapidly increas- f in prdut of the Northwest than is found in tbe section which this road will reach. Not only is the demand for consumption very large, but the x port demand will be corr-espondingly ureat. Charleston has a fine harbor-,j and a very important shipping inter-j est. which has been largely increased within the past two years. It is now the most prosperous seaport in tihe South, and the favorable pr-ospects of tis new trunk line indicate that itsi prosperity is destined soon to receive a very gratifying impetus. Of course Chicago cannot look upon tis enterprise with indifference. When Boston builds a new elevator. Chicago hesitates not to speak a word of eneouragrement ; when Philadelphia starts a newr steamship line the word of congratulation is not delayed,and the new 'oimpetitor for the tid con lftrolled y the (Garden ('ity shall receive the same fair treatment. To long-suffering Charleston just entering upon a newI areer of enterprise and prosperityt Chicago sends greetings, and best wishes of success. It Laurens Items.
