Tio South as Seen Through Northern Eves. 1 - Apart from the direct and immrdia'o benefits which havo resulted from the late Tax-Payers' Convention, an important incidental advantage arises from the fact, that it attracted here the correspondents of the leading Northern journals, who have taken pains to obtain and publish to till world correct views of the actual condition of affairs in the State. The HnalJ, Tribune, Cincinnati Commercial, and IVoril, all had correspondents in Columbia during the Con. vention, and in the main their letters giro a very correct view of existing evils. This is oil that we could wish. A true exposition of actual abuses will form the best plea in our behalf, and will go far to extenuate, if not to justify, all the late disturbances. To one cardinal fact, these correspondents all give due prominence? that thorc is no hostility here to the United States Government, but that all of our trouble has arisen from local causes?the exclusion of our best citizens from office, and the sway of ignorance and corruption. Thero is r* . % _ i i nothing hero, they admit, ot mo oiu leaven of Secession, but only an earnest and natural desire to be rid of a fiet of hungry cormorants, who are preying npon onrsubstance,and flaunting their ill-gotten gains in the sight of an inccnsed people. In fact there is nothing even of Jiostility to Republicanism, cxccpt as associated with ignorance* and corruption. Well might Horace Greeley exclaim in view of the facts clicked by his correspondents, that "the South Carolina Legis laturohad made Republicanism to be ;n the nnstvils of all <rood men eU'iiWll 4i? __ of ihc country." To tho same cfTo?t is the following extract from a Icadiii" ^ C editorial of the Tribune-. *'Our correspondents have now beer so lOng in the disturbed districts oi the Soath, that we can form from their letters a distinct idea of the state of society in that unfortunate port of the Union. It is ameJanchoIj picture that they draw for us. The most intelligent, tho influential, the educated, tho realJy useful men ol tho South, deprived of all political power, have come to loolc upon themselves as the outraged subjects of a despotic conqueror. Taxod and swindled by a horde of rascally foreign adventurers, and of the ignorant class which only yesterday hoed the field? and served in the kitchen, they can nothing for polities except to throw off the oppressive yoke; they have 3io interest in national affairs; the} xvoaid call themselves of either party provided their rulers were only o the other. The refuse of Northcn cities, who went Southward. aflei the war, out at elbows and destitute of character and education, now roi in splendid carriages, drink raix? wines giiuer with diamonds as rare a; i'isk's, and steal tuxes as fast as : Now York Street Commission. It i: no wonder that tho impoverishes }*Jantei% growing poorer every day i he ex-Co rifrderato officer, who lough ro bravely for a causc in which h< honestly believed, the professiona men, accustomed all their lives tr hold office and load the public scnti ment of their communities, look 01 ^uch things with rancorous hate. The} might submit to be ruled by soldier: who had beaten them in battle; bu here they arc plundered by sutler: and camp-followers. "This is a miserable state of thing: Jndced for a republican government? a burlesque upon the suffrage, whci the only restriction upon voting i the votes shall not be cast f<> the mott intelligent and virtuous c-iti zcns. * Wo have oJtcn warncn on party in Congress of the inevitabl result of the vindictive 'method o reconstruction. We have told them nnd we tell them again, that ther< is only one way to restore the Uniot ?universal amnesty and impartia suffrage. We shall continue to urg< this policy j bat in some places South err people are doing their best t< defeat it." The correspondent of the Cincin rati Commercial ridiculcs the idea o Kueh a man as Wright being appoint cd to the Supreme licnch of Ohio, ant goes on to say: "Isow, the lawyers and propcrly holders of South Carolina arc just a Anxious to have a Supreme Court a ? ./% nu;?

Inartful confiscation itsd would i.ol sow the seeds of bairec any deeper in tbe hearts of the peo jple of South Carolina than the cleva Jtion of a negro to a position on th< j Supreme Bunch; but eonflscatioi i would confer a benefit on the victims land, therefore, would be some wisdon I in it. .But the punishment that seek: i lo degrade th-jse of our flesh :nu jblood, with no perceptible sidvanUiij* a' the price of degradation, i: ! lolly." i It is impossible for a man of com mon observation, or possessing th< iconimon instincts of bis race, to sur I I vey the unhappy condition of affair: ': here without extending bis syrnpa jtbies to ot'.r people, and Isorthen Correspondents have risen superior t< ; partisan bin*, and have been unspar !ing in their denunciations of tlx i abu.VJS tvbicb have driven ns to de.^ peralicn. That these evils have s< long been tolerated by a proud an< sensitive people, is one of the stand j ing wonders of the day. ! ?>? I The Kext Presidency.?The lie Inubliean State Convention of Pcnnsyl 11 vania, which met recently at Harris J burg, re-nominates Gen. Grant for th j Presidency, "as a proper standard bearer of the Republican party ii J1S72,M and the other State conven tions will doubtless imitate its ex ample. The Herald still seelcs t< [rally the Democracy in behalf o i Gen. Sherman, on some such platforn ' as that lately adopted by the Demo Icratic Convention held at Dayton Ohio. The resolutions nnanimouslj adopted at this convention decJan that the democrats "cordially uniti - i:_; ? , i.? i upon ilie ?iiving- isjuus vi luu uiu , 'that they ''accept the natural ant legitimate results of the war, ani acquiesce in the same as no Iongei I issues before the eouutiy; thus burning out of sight all that is of tin J dead pasC?viz., the right of secession ! slavery, inequality betoro the law am |political inequality." !

J3ut ai incredulous Executive refused to in terposc, and the law was allowed t< take its course. The career of thi accomplished villain affords' nev proof, that high intellectual attain meiits arc entirely compauuio wuu , total lack of moral principle. A Sunday int Due West?P;n 1 ...

Tut; Jury Law of New Tc-rk.liTho trial of Foster for the murder ( S i 'Putnam, one of the sensations of th . j day, in New York city, illustrates th n absurdity of the present intorpretioi LjJof the jury law.

Tlic matter will |undergo judicial investigation, and . 'we forbear extended comment. Mr. ''jAiken and Mr. Georgo II. MeMastcr, it is said, interfered to part Mr. Clarke land Mr. Samuel JJuBose, who were ' exchanging blows, when Mr. Clarke siseized Mr. Aiken by the throat, and {continuing to choke him against his jprotest and warnings to desist, the jlatter drew a pistol and shot him ^ |through tho bowels. The statement 1! that appears in tho Columbia Union *!of Wednesday we know to be in tola Bi false.
