BRENTANO, NO. 708 Broadway, New York, has always tho latest dates of tho Daily News, as he does of all tho other principal journals of tho country ?STews Summary. Official information received in Washington re presenta that there will bo great Buffering in Ala lwmft during tho presont winter, owing to tho small corn and grain crops, the result of i be want of noccsaary labor, and tho severe drouth which prevailed over most of the productive lauda of (he State. It is estimated that there areno leas than 200,000 persons, both black and white, who must ho furnished with food until they can raiae it for themselves. The FrecdmcnV; Bureau, however, is under instructions from the Secretary of "War taking tho necessary steps to relieve these people as far aB possible at an early day. A Hecond part of Cant. Hall"- report on his search for fuller information about Sir John Franklin's Arctic Expedition has been received. The wrecked ships of Franklin appear to have been visited, tho remains of a large number of their crews seen, frozen and mutilated, and the val uables left in the ships appropriated by the Esqui maux. They encourage Capt. Hall to behove that some of tho men may still he. living. Brigndicr-Gcncral Francis B. Shoot, of the late Confederate army, has been elected to tho chair of Physics, Astronomy and Civil Engineering of the University of Mississippi. The entire number of Indians inhabiting all parts of our country amounts to about four hun dred and eighteen thousand. Tho estimated number in tho unexplored territories is thirty thousand; in Texas, about twenty-four thousand; of the tribes living in New Mexico, ahout ninety - two thousand; in California, something over thirty-two thousand; in Oregon, about twenty three thousand; and in Utah, between eleven and twelve thousand. Many of the New Mexican Indians aro civilized, and have fixed habitation a and towns. There, will bo a proposition before the Finance ! Committee of tho Senate, and probably before the ; Committee of Ways and Means of the House, to roduce national taxation to a point that will yield no moro rovoimc than what is sufficient to pay tho expenses of the Government, including interest on tho public debt and a sinking fund for the princi pal. It is expected that tho proposed reduction will bo great enough to allow of tho repeal of the Income Tax. Thcro are many reasons why this particular form of tax should be withdrawn at the earliest possible opportunity. In its nature, its collection is vexations, because the means which the assessors arc obliged to use to get full and true returns are, to a large degree, Inquisitorial. It is, in fact, tho most objectionable form of tax, and it is only resorted to in Great Britain, from which country wo copied it, as a revenuo during tho continuance of war. As soon as tho pressure for money is over, this tax is taken off. The news that it is likely to be dispensed with in this coun try will, therefore, bo hailed with gnat pleasure. If any one desires to see a busy city he can find it in New York. The retail stores are crowded with cfa-tonicra, and the most expensive articles find ready and rapid Bale. There scorns to bo a mania for spending money, and nothing is too ex travagant for the tastCB and pnraeB of tho citizens of New York. These remarks apply not only to the luxuries of life, but to the necessities as well. The increase in prices docs not operate to chock sales, either in articles of food, clothing or orna ment. The manufacturers of furniture are press ed to their, utmost ability to meet their orders. The importers of rare and costly works of art arc notable to supply the demand. The carpet ftores have been reduced to the lowest btocka, and could not open goods with sufficient rapidity to supply their customers. It ?b certain that Now York never know such prices as have boon paid this fall, and wo only echo what wc hoar from all the retail dealers in saying that there was never such a busy eoason. Governor Brownlow's late course in rejecting tho votes of several counties, on the ground ol their illegality, canses much oxcitomont in Tenncs Bee. In tho Legislature an excited discussion arose on .a resolution offered by Mr. Brandon, oi Stewart county, which was intonded as a censure of Governor Brownlow. Mr. Brandon waB a reb el Colonol, and was wonnded at Fort Donelson. Ho was sustained in his assault on tho Governor by Herod, Steels, Garrett and other copper heads. Tho resolution was tahlod by a decisive voto. Brandon and others wore very hitter ir their denunciation of the Governor. On the evening of Novembor 2d, a carpot bafi was stolon from Albert Tike, at tho depot of the Richmond and Fredorickaburg Railroad, in the formor city. It contained all tho original trcatiee made by tho Confodoratoa with tho different In dian tribes, and a number of Masonic documents? the formor being of groat importance to our Go vernment. Secretary Stanton has ordered Gen. Terbv to mako all diligent search far the stolen documenta. It is stated that Secretary Stanton, in his forth coming report, will recommend that hy the 1st oi January noxt tho army ho reduced to 50,000 mon. It is now about 175,000. In May last it numbered 1,000,503. Advice? from Nassau, N. P., announce tho pre aonco of Lioutonant-General Jubal A.

CHARLESTON. ? ? ? 8?VTURDAY MORNING, DECEMBER i\ 1866. It is apparent, from the lato Washington newt*, that the subject of the restoration of the Southern Statoa is as prominent ninong politicians there as it is in our own minds. It will ho seen that, beforo Congress met, a Republican caucus had settled the immediate course of action of that party in relation to the subject. Tho resolution presented by tho -committee, of which Thaddeus Stevkns was chairman, does not indicato the ultimate poli cy of tho Black Republicans, but is important in showing two things?that, in their view, tho ?Southern StatoB aro not mombers of tho Fedornl Union; and that their readmission, if not denied, is to bo dolayed. Tho oloction of Mr. Colfa-x, as Spoakor, dangerously betokens opposition to President Johnson's views, and no circumstances of en couragement appear but tho fact, hardly wor thy of notice, th?it Senators Doolittle and Dixon will oppose tho resolution of .Stevens, and tho important one that tho President has not yielded his moderato views to tho demands of the Congressional majority. Moreover, wo are not to forget that the Justice of our claim to readmission is a strong ground for predi cating its ultimate success. Two classes of objections can bo urged against the restoration to this State of its rights under the Federal Constitution?tho one addressed to tho insufficiency of tho de mands made upon it by President Johxson, and the other to the manner in which those demands havo been responded to. To tho for mer belong tho manifestoes of Stevkns and Lane, whoso violence and unreasonableness will, wo trust, destroy, in the minds of mode rate Northern men, tho respect they might otherwise ho disposed to attach to tho utter ances of so prominent and able leaders. Tho task of President Johnson, in prescribing the conditions upon which the restoration of the Southern States is to be effected, has been pe culiarly difficult. No Codo of Revolutions exist. Law does not contemplate tho possi bility of their occurrence, and II?Btory record? no precedent for tho treatment of sovereign and corporato traitors. President Johnson has had tho task of supplementing the Fedora! system with a scries of rules for tho adjust ment of difficulties, which that Bystem did not provide for. The result has been tho "Re. construction Policy," to which tho merits ot good sonso, and of being as little exacting at might bo expected under tho circumstances can be readily conceded. It is a very simple scheme, and its distinctive featuro consists ir. restricting tho conditions on which tho read mission to tho Federal Union of the States ol tho late Confederacy is to depend?to th( official expression by them of their loyalty tc tho Constitution of tho United States, and tc tho proof of the sincerity of that loyalty 1)} certain prescribed concessions. The second question which arises is, whothei those conditions havo been performed by the States of tho lato Confederacy ? We under take to answer for tho iStato of South Caro lina, that they have been. Sho has performec tho penance prescribed by a ritual whoso au thority sho has not questioned, and she now claims tho promised shrift. Late events ren der it doubtful whether our hopes aro to b( realized; but wo are of those who believo tha moderate views and tho sense of justice will ero long, prevail, and secure tho blessings o self-government. Malignant men there are however, whom we cannot satisfy?political pathologist?, keen to dotect symptoms of dis caso in our body politic; and by such tho enact mont of the Negro Code, and tho election t< CongresB of men prominent in support of thl lost cause, have been urged as evidences oi bad faith on the part of the State. Now, U yield the right of enacting such a Codo woulc bo Bimply an abdication by the State of iti sovereignty?the destruction of which is n( part of the President's Bchome?and the Codt itself is no revocation of tho concessions madt in relation to ?lavery. Special legislation foi classes in a community is no novolty, and that now proposed for the negro is just to hi ir and absolutely nocessary to the rosuscitatioc of production. As regards tho lato election, it would be nB useless to deny that moii'i minds are influonced by the recollections of the past four years, ne it is captious and unjust 1 to make that met a ground for disfranchise ' ment. There is no Lethe but timo to wash oui ( our memories; there is no contingency, shor: , of a miracle, that can make them dangerous i There is no attempt to l'eward services ren i derod against tho Federal Govemmont: bui ' those services, as proofB of human character cannot be entirely ignored, and it may safoly bo asserted that fidelity to past obligations u i the best gumanteo for tho performance of those newly hki-.ii mod. Tho political notion of this Stato has boon persistently directed, during tho past few I months, to tho purposes of obtaining tho res toration of civil rights ?md'a relief (rum mili t?ry oocupation. To attain this object, it hot dono all that was loft to it to do; it (has made 'sacrifices of opinion and pride, and juried in a grave, around which hover no hopes of res urrection, it- traditions and hopeo. It is fuir that tho <'!*ii<*iduration should now ho paid, and that tho P.ottlomont of political affairs should leavo ?jur pooplo to turn undivided at tention to thoirprcsBitig wants. Ti:o Southern States n.r_ ready to assume tho duties, as they havo ah-otidy boon performing the obligations, of members of tbo Fedort.l Union; and they have given pledges of tbo spirit in which thoy propose to act, bv yielding, in the way of con cession, all that lins been asked. Wo pray that no moro will bo domanded, lest that bo required which honor cannot yield to policy; and that our rights will be no longor with held, lost tho spirit of conciliation give place to n conviction that its cxerciso is useless.
