'>Ve clip the following from the llennotta- ville Journal, taken from the New York J)-.’!/ Hook, which,according to our judgment is a true version of affairs in our Down trod den State:— ‘•We hear of the “rapid recuperation of the South.” when the sale ofa cotton crop is made which carries there a hundred or two millions of dollars, lint what is the result ofa hundred or two milions of dollars in a year, receipts from a principal staple, out, of which comes the cost of labor and the huge taxi's, leaving as net profits the very small est fraction, and that fraction expected to keep an impoverished people of six or eight millious in the necessaries of life 1 We arc • old to took on the brightest portion of the picture: there are to day dark spots, tooroany of them, in that still doomed and unfortunate section, which the eyes of the great world arc not invited to. .Mongrelism howls itself hosrs cover the gathering of the great sta ple, the proceeds of which go into the pock ets ofa comparatively small class and figure up t.c sc. but there are hundreds of counties in the South where a bale of cotton is never iv.ven to-day, but which in 1 SCO, and prior _ that date, was on every day spectacle.— show the struggles and hardships of the ?je class of small farmers who do not raise ipn, we append the followiug incident ar * » • *u» nf a correspondent: i s 3 *week ago a poor larmer came to our town, (Kdgefield. S. 0.,) with a load of apples. He had brought, this load near fifty miles and hoped to get about seventy-five dollars fer it. He was met on the highway by a fel low named Half, a re\“, official who de manded /r/ty tlothirs tax on the load, and the poor fellow had to give security for it; tiilhe cashed his apples. When he he did so there was little left. Half was a comrade of John Hrowu. and one of the most bitter Mongrels whose presence cvercursed the South. This is the sort of relation that is kept up between the poor producers of the South and the Mongrel thieves, who under the garbofofii- ciab rob every one they can get their hands OH.” v The Altnck ( port Tb<‘Nuprcme Court. The Charleston Courier, of the 21st inst., makes the following remarks, in reference to the attack upon the Supreme Court by Congress : —■ •We cannot conceive that Senator Drake's attack upon the Supremo Court can prove sucoesoful. And yet, recent events adnion-. ish us that it is not safe, under the present rub' which controls the country, to calculate up ;n the defeat of any measure on the ground of its being contrary to justice and right.— The time was when there was a common ar biter, the Constitution; but that was be- 1 .re party siexed upon the Government.— l»ut this has assumed the role of a dictator and of supreme master of both Constitution and people. In its pretence the voice of public right is suppressed, and all regard for the public welfare discarded. What is it but a claim and assertion of the judiciary of country? How can any Government claim to be free, which prohibits the constitution- ity of its act« from ever being investigated the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.—- Congress clearly could not establish s mon archy. And yet, if it were to proclaim fo a King, to morrow, what is there to prevent it? Of course, the people eould rise, and by an appeal to arms drive them from their place. Hut the only peaceful remedy would be by an appeal to the Supreme Court, to test the conformity of its action with the Constitution of the country This is su ex treme case, perhaps, but yet it shows that there must be aomo tribunal which must have the power to pass upon tha conformity of the acts of Congress with the Constitu" tion, else its power is absolute, and without cheek or limit. This point scarcely needs further argument. The people heretofore have been passive under the aggressions of Congress. They havo been utterly indifferent to and oblivious of their liberties. And now another advauce is made, and Senator Drake, of Missouri, in his Bill, proposes to take away from the Su preme Court its present authority to “aJ- jutlgc or hold ovy Ac/ or joint resolution of Congress invalid, or in port, for any repug nancy beticfcn twh Act or joint resolution and the Constitution of the United States.” It seems to us the statemeut, in itself, should at once ensure the conde , '^v v .iou of the whole country. The Legislasure of South Carolina have as much right to declare that the constitu tionality of their aoU shall never be brought into question before the Courts and constitu ted legal tribunals as Congress has to assert for itself a supremacy over all law. This would be the most complete and thorough of all despotisms. The Supreme Court now has the power — It has exercised it from the foundation of the Government. It has on several occasions been called upon to decide that Congress has in some of its acta, exceeded the powers conferred upon them by the Constitution, and that these were therefore void and in valid. And now the bald aud bold attempt is made to take away from the Court its right to hold an act of Congress unconstitu tional, end to refuse it in this case the force and effect of law. Mr. Drake, in his speech in the advocacy of the Bill, openly announces that Congress is and alone ought to be supreme. We do not know that we can more clearly present this assault upon the Constitution and the liberties of every section than in the words of Mr. Drake himself: “An Act of Congress is the judgment of sovereignty. It is the highest in authority that can bo rendered.' It is not subject io review and reve this Government there moat be omni somewhere—ought it to bo in the of the people, or ought to be in the The moment this Bill passes, th< _ ment of the Republic is subverteij'’ ' A rrcsTTfaM :i n*fr« We are informed by Constable J that the murderer of Mr. Dunwoody, in'Sew- berry, was arrested in thattown, on Tuesday last. Lewis Berry a colored man, through the confession of his own wife, is known to have been the murderer, and is now lodged in jail. Two other witnesses of his own color swear that he asked them before the deed was done to assist him in it. These witnessses have confronted Berry in making this statement. The evidence is sufficient to convict. The weapon—an Enfield rifle was found with the stock broken, and bloody ev idences innumerable.—Phoenix. Attempted Onlrafe. The Charleston Courier of the 18th inst., has the following paragraph It seems that the evil minded, are not confined to anv^- N - ticular locality, but are scattered all over the Dec. 20.—Cotton dull and easier.

Judge Strong; who has just been nomina ted to the office of Attorney General (to sue coed Hoar, promoted to the Supreme Bench) is a native of Connecticut,- was educated at Plainfield Academy and Yale College. Af ter teaching school for a few years he was admitted to the bar in Philadelphia in 1832. About a year after he began the practice of his profession at Reading, Berks courty, Penn. He was elected to the Thirtieth and Thirty-first Congress from the Berks district. Upon retiring from Congress, he resumed his profeaaion iu Reading, when he was elect ed Judge of the Supreme Court of Penn sylvania for fifteen years, and removed to Philadelphia. In the beginning of the war Judge Strong became an ardent Republican and ever since has been a prominent member of the Union League of Philadelphia. The Judge is sixty years ef age, tall and slender.

One of the features of Mr. Boutwell’s re port is his recommendation that the nation al banks shall bo compelled to accept four and a half per cent, bonds in exchang- for the six per cent, bonds, which they now have on deposit in the Treasury, as security for the redemption of their notes, Now, in this connection, wc have a plain and simple vuestion to ask. The Grant administration, we know, professes the utmost horror, of re pudiation. It can tolerate nothing that has the look, tone, taste, or smell of repudiation, says the Louisville Courier Journal. At the meutiun of the word, it froths and foams at the mouth, like a victim of catalepsy. But what we have to ask is this—if the Govern ment compels the bond holders to surrender bonds for "less than the value of them, docs it not, to the full extent of the difference, practice repudiation ? Is not such compul sion and repudiation to all intents and pur poses? Is not the Government as much a repudiator in repudiating a part of - mer est on every bond as it would be ifit 1 - >udi- ated the entire IxitjdJ,-^ J’jpot tH - Lind substance of the dil ference between ie] pudiating the, profess to be shook.' of repudiation,.mH report as a and honor!

A dispatch from Raleigh, North Carolina, dated Thursday morning- say* that great in dignation prevails throughout the State in regard to the depreciation and misappropria tion of the railroad and other bonds, issued during the session of the Legislature of IBGtMiy. Bills now pending in both Houses, requiring the return of all new States bunds yet unsold to the Treasury, tube rc-issved only by installment* as needed by the rail roads, have been posponed over the Christ mas holiday*. A bill is pending, however, and will pass, calling in unconstitutional bond*, issued to the Chatham Rrailroad and fraudulently sold; but providing that innocent holders of them shall receive in lieu therefore bonds held by the State on that road. A resolution on Wednesday, passed the House, to suppress the voice of ordering railroad presidents to sell no more State bonds at less than seventy-fiive per cent. These general and wide-spread rumors that bonds appropriated for railroad purposes bare been missapplied and fraudulenty used, and persons implicated areahunning investi gation.
