TU'ESDAY MORNING ULY . The price of an copy of le Tms. WEEKLY NEws is ten cents. We are forced to this charge from the simple fact that when we purchase the necessa ries of ifea we are compelled to pay two prices for them, and hetice we have to, chargo in the same spirit for our labor. It wil be found that we give a very large amount of reading mitter, and the work ,we put in our paper, makes it well worth the small pittance asked for it per single copy. For. one month we will send the paper for One Dollar, and for one copy our charge is ten cents, either in coin or grepnbacks. To Sheriff OpLvZR are we indebted for late Columbia papers. Mr.i HENRY MEETZE and ALEX. PHILLIPS, have placed us under obliga. tions for late Columbia papers. Mr. P. A.

We have now several business, estab. 8lshiments in our town, to all of whom we ish gbundant success. New Orleans dates of June0 19, say that it is seported that General bF.AunE GARD has been arrested and taken to sWashington. * the NationalR ev. The present chief magistrate of the 'Uniteo-States, as is well known, is by trade a tailor, an occupation eminently fitting him for taking su'ch measures of redress, 'as the violated integrity of the 'National -Sovereignty (in other words the tomr 4iag) demands. Suits, civil or -military, will be instituted, and will be 16nishej with fidelity and despatch. Chief of 'uBureaux will furnish suitable material,"and the heads of.Departments will-cutnout the work. The Bench,, of course will,.as It ever has done, offer to the Executive every facility in his sarto - ial operations; and the army by its past experience, is well fitted for repair ing breeches, whether of National faith, or of nether integikments. Congress, there is scarcely a rational doubt, will so far relax its conscience, as to appro-. priate any amount of money that may be required, either by themselves, or the executive; in fact they have already cloted the President with full power, and any goose may see, and any cab. bage head may understand, how the Press had been subsidized. The wotk is airly begun, executive ap. 'pointments have been al-ready made - in most of -the States ; a little stiffening his tolbe taken out of South Carolina, she will therefore remain in soak awhile. - By a stitch in time, ALBERT G. MAc KEY, a -somewlhat notorious publican and sinner, has aspired to the successor ship of Sr. MAT'rH~w; and has been ap pointed' Collector of the Customs in this State. This masonic mnendicant has thrown Jeremy, Diddler comphletely in the shade, and .has recovered the lost fortune which he never had, and the snuff box, said to have been pawned, and a~ good fat office never before ocou pied but by a gentleman.

W.: .W, o 0h"4thtr c oot OCurt Aou Wina. o/# p.d1 n Wednesdae ~214 .40w, 18 S- at the mee held fJo tOeiestoration of the civil Oemmine1s of South Carolina. During the absence of the committee to prepare resolutions for the action of he meeting, Mr. Bovca being called upon, rose and addressed the people as sembled: MA. PRESIDENT : I approve of the object of the meeting. It is greatly to our interest tQ have civil government es tablished in the State. By the theory of our institutions, while a few great in terests are exclusively confided to the Federal authority, a large mass. of legis lation is reserved to the States individu ally. The sooner - we have' a State Government in operation, the sooner we will have control over our local legis. latioin, and thp soondr we may look for the withdrawal of military authority. The military, it is true, are acting, so far as I have learned, both in this State and adjoining States, with great propriety. But still it is preferable to live under a civ il government. I am satisfied from what I learned at Washington that President Johnson will extend to this State tho same privilege of establishing the State Government that he has and is extending to the States of North Carolina, Missis sippi, Alabama and Georgia, &c. No discrimination will be made against this State. I am satisfied that the Presi dent is ready to establish our State Gov ernment as soon as he thinks public opin ion is ripe for it. .Tlie object of this meet ing is to make known the sense of the people of this District on the subject. From all I can learn upon this poiut, and I have taken every opportunity of informing myself of the wishes of the people of the State, I ant satisfied the great mass of the people, by an over whelinig majority, amounting almost to unanimity, earnestly desire the estab lishment of State authority in entire har mony with the government of the United States. , I apprehend that in this large meeting, there will be but one cpinion on the subject. I might stop here, but I presume you desire to hear something of my late visit go Washington. At the instance of some of our most influential citizens, I went on to see the President of the United States. I had been well ac quainted witht him as a member of the Senate of the United States. I had heard so much of him, his talents, the obstacles he had overcome, and the con trohng influence lie had acquired in his State, that I took pains to form his ac. quaintance, and observed him with deep interest. I knew that a man who had accomplished what he had, who from the most adverse position had risen, to be successively, a member of the Legis lature, member of Congress, Governor, and Senator was no ordinary man. I respected in him the man who had erected his own statue, and found Mr. Johnson to be a man of remarkable tal ents, imnntense energy, great good sense, a strong Wil, with' perfeot self-reliance, a man who belonged to. himself and not to another. . No one can have greater abhorrence of that ineffably stupid crime, the assasi nainof Mr. Lincoln, than I have, but I do not think that thereby the Sointhuern States have fallen into the hand of a cruel tyrant, as has been imegined -by some. Emancipation is conceded to 'be a fixed fact. President Johnson, I am sat isfied, will deal wvith our peolile in no ungenerous spirit. All who accept the existing order of things, who, in good' faith, desire to be peaceful and loyal citi zens, will, as a genegal rule, in my opmi ion, experieece Ohe clemency of the gov ernment. On the great question of the right of suffrage in thtse. Sta~es;Pregi. dont Johnson has taken the conserva tive position of referriag the matter to the States the'mselves. For thib he has recur~ed the opposition of tle extremeo wing of the Republica n party. W~e cannot but attend the issuo of this<Tif once of opinion With . get Interest, end I thick the progress of 'evente is eitch as to indicate thpt these States will give no lukewarm support to the adminittin of President Johnson. I, consider slavery as gone, and the b~eet thing for us to do is to~recognise that fact distinctly and unequivocallt' and agcept it in perfect good fath with all its iNgical cotsequences.

Ok'greatest statemanship now Oon Bista,)lpacifction with the North. Every man should lend himself to this work. Whoever 'dons a kindness to a Northern man is doing a wise thing for his country. Let us forget the hor. rible struggle through which: we have passed'as much as we can. Let us look beforo'us and not behind us. Let not despair of our country. Go is wiser than we are. The history of tions is the judgment of God. Let us acquiese in that destiny from which there is no appeal. Slavery .is gone, but all is not lost. Our fortunes are shattered, we are poor I indeed, but the heavens are still above us, and though the way before us is 'rugged, lot us with great hearts move forward to fulfil our mission, whatever it may be. We will soon be invited to resume our position as one of the U nited States, on terms of perfect equality. As we have iad the greatest war upon record, so I trust we may have the greatest peace. Upon ourselves will. depend in a very large degree how advantageous this peace shall be to us. If we are wise there is still hope for us in the fu ture. If we are weak every step will only plunge us deeper into the Serbo. r.ian'bog. We must act under the in fluence of new ideas. We must not listen to our passions,. but to our reason. And the future may be more auspi. cious to us, than the most sanguine now imagine. MEssAos OP THE GovERNon OF DELAwARn.-The Wilmington Repub lican thus speaks of the message of Governor Saulsbury, of Delaware, to the Legislature of that State:' , He is greatly opposed to certain meas= ures which were deemed necesssary to restrain the expression of sentiments in favor of rebellion..and enters into a long argument to prove that the rebels who have laid down their arms should be restored to the exercise of every political right'and privilege His own sympathies with them can readily be inferred from the opinions he )ias expressed. I- is also very much alhrined by the efforts which are being biade to elevate the negro race, and urges that there should be no relaxation of legislative restrictions n this State in regard to them. He is haunted by the. fear of "negro eqnality," and cannot realize that equality bef-ire the law does not mean social equarity. His argument in regard to the loyalty of the people of our State, and the injustice of the restrictions imposed by the military authority is in accordsce with the claims of thqmen who aided 'and 'encouraged the rebellion-men who argued that.the rebelion could inotebe put down, and never voted apian nor a Aollar to put it down, nor for any one- who. did. His partisans have openly and repeatedly hurraed for Jeff, Davis, yet they were all good Union men.' We have not time nor patience to 'comment on such barefaced hypocrisy, and therefore dismiss the matter by the amark .that the Governor appears to belong to a class who never reocive a new opinion nor regndiate an old one, no matter how mischievous tim' nay show it to-be.

A.Leun ot dnoe AaTrue PoliOy. Our friends will believe us when we tell then that there is a party still here in the North--the party of strife and dis. cord, the party of blood and fiendish hate, and that ic will leave no means untried to provoke them to uprisings, to futile 1 and sanguinary insurrections*in this and that localty in the hope that it will thus be afforded more pretexts for the execu r tion of its devilish designs. At present this part, is engage in the fiendish, but we believe impracticable, work of incitirg the maases of the Northern peo ple to a xe war upon the South ; and 9 two distinct parties are being formed upon the issue which it has presented to the country. We regard this movement as an exceedingly auspicious one for the South, and, therefore, we desire that nothing shall be done by the Southern people that will aid or strengthen it in any way. This issue has been presented F to the public by Wendell Phillips and has already produced quite a sensation throughout the North. le has aiinounc ed it as the intenrion of the faction, or party of which he is the head, to e dvo cate repudiation of our great and crush ing war debt, if the emancipated negro is by the radical abolitionists. There can be no evading the question .now ; the. inferior race shall or shall not be allowed the right ,to vote, and everything else that follows a d accom- I planies that refused equal politn al rights wit the white voters. We are glad that the matter has been at last brought to a head, and that the people of the North must take their stand upon one side or other of the line which has been drawn, right--social equality, official posi tion and intercourse with the white population in all the relations of life. The radicals have thus defined their position, and they have already com menced the now warby assailing-who? President Johnson. They do not, as we sulspected froni the very first, like him; they are dissatisfied with certain indications he' has thus far given of hIs policy, and they have all their iro arOus ed by their knowledge of the fact that he has determined to leave the question ofnegro suffrage to be decided by the States themselves. No man knows bet jer than he that the granting of sush political power would be employed to isdisatlvantage liereafter,. and that it would affect his prospects of re-election t6 an injurious degree. Hfek 6annot yield to the radicals, and the resolute. stand lw has taken at' the outset proves that lie is determined not to yield to them. I'ow, there is only one thing that can alter this new position of parties,.and give strength to the faction whieh de mands political a~qlity for the negro local outbreaks a d insurrections in the Southern States. All provocations must be met by a firin determination not to be driven or seduced into such a disastrous, such a ruinous course. The efforts of the Abolitiotiists will be directed to wards the embroilment of the people of the South with the Administraiton. that, they may thus control its policy, as they tQ a great extent controlled tbat of the late President. It will-be their purpose to re-establish military rule ever the Sou~4 it existed 'during the war, and to p if possible, the restoration of peav They would, if they could, re diace it to a desert, but we believe, not withstanding the late, proclamation of President Johnison, that it is his design to defeat 'their plans, and although no p artisan of his in any sense, sve believe ho is entitled to the support of every true friepd of the South in his efforts in this direction. Certain allowances must be mado. for the position in which he is plsoed, and full credit must be awarded for what has-beena ahteady done, and we say tA at for the firm stand he has tqken on tis moat serious <question of negro syf frage the friendsv of the South have every 'reason to feel gratfied. Standing by it self, this is indeed a favotable indication, and while we have not hesitated to speak without reserve of the character of his so called ttmnesty proclamation, while lee have given frete expieuson to opr views upon the arbitrary, unconstitutional, an ti-Dlemderatic and un-American, policy set 'forth in its .fourteen' exceptions, we 'a~prepared to give President Johnson ADfusllest anid meet cordial -mgport in his stand againas negro surage, and in *whioh he is entitle'd tohe active a $ earhees 0o-operation of every mani wotld save the ootutry from all tb rors of anarchy ,atA eooW ldisorde A. to ihe proclaaton twetf, tO a read$' expresse ~r 3e ntio enfotd*.fa #4 t at in th iatience aloue are required to heaI their Ounds, but let IV take care that they re not 'pened afrdsh, that the conflict ie not renewed to the disadvantage -if~ Adt.the utter ruin 9f the helpless and he prostrate.

Th6 true policy. now is the levelopment of the vast wealth which is in the soil of the South, and to this nd labor and enterprize should be invi. ed and encouraged by the most. liberal nd generous inducements. Ther$ need e nlo fear that those who seek the means f ibdependence in the South through hon st labor will be inimical to its interests; t is only the adventurers whom the (ribune has so' faithfully and graphically lescribed that will be hostile to the southerners; it is only those whose ap. >earance in the South is to be dread ud who this excellent authority on the ubject informs us are "the very meanest eings that ever stood on two lege. iq, rapacious, hypocritical, evbr ready to kin a flint with a borrowed knife and 'nake (for others) a soup out of the peel. ngs." It is this class our friends must ook out for, as they are "rapacious,4' md will, in pursuit of ill-gotton gaig vsort to every trick, every -device that ,heir "cunning" can invent to steal -the )roperty of the Southern people.. Thee 'meanest beings that over stood on two egs," this "unclean brood" will, as the Tibune tells us, "overspread the South ike locusts, starting schools and prayer neetings at every crossroad, getting iold of abandoned or confiscated plan ations [how well lie knows then, an4 iiring laborers right and left cutting imber here, trying out tar and turpen. me there, and growing corn, cottonj ice and sugar, wihich they will have old at the earliest day, and run away vith the proceeds, &c. &c." That is s 'aithful photograph, and if the people'of he South <lon't recognise the cha-rater ,rhen he appears among them, then they tre not the people we tqke them for.
