He disfranchised military oftccrs,against j the literal provision of the J:ily Act, as inter- I j .rot ed by itself. ;>. He slandered one of the purest Equity Judges of the States, and several of our most respectable and honorable lawyer?. Much eulogy has been lavished by you or Gen. Sickles for Order No. 10. Whatever nay have been the temporary relief afforded tt> debtors by this extraordinary order, all lovers of conslitut.ioaal liberty hs ve it fore-, upon their reelection, that laws similar hav uniformly been pronounced by th?- Suprem i.'ourt of thc I nited States t\> be unconstitu tional : and that a law passed by our Legisla tare,'which by no means interfered with the obligation of contracts to the extent of Order No. 10, was declared by the highest court in lite State, by tea judges against ene, to be violative of the Constitution cf the United States. Also, that the Attorney-General of ; he United States in an argum-.-nt that baN not been, and can not be, an.>wered, has de clared the issuing of this order to be a des (iOiic stretch of unauthorized power. Finally, while temporary relief has been afforded to debtors, we have thu fact forced upon us, thai a large class of creditors, among whom are numbered many now destitute widows and orphans, have been ?rent sufferers thereby. In this coaaectiou, I would ask if you do not know that thc application of Order N" IO, to thc Federal Courts, was anafter thought on the part of Genera! Sickles ; and that he did allow tho process of this court to be free ?ly executed ia this State, until it occurred to bim that tbi?= court might, on proper case wade, declare the July Act unconstitutional, aaa thus destroy hissuper-Czaric power? ? am constrained to cti&ractcrize vour le? ter . a? your sccoud bid for radical favor. Your (ipcoah iu Charleston, when you ungracefully aspersed the Democratic party, which gave you prominence, was your first bid. Your lotter has famished the radical party with a pretext for thu prosecution of its nefarious dcsigus for the oppressiou of the South, thai baa uecu seized upon with avidity by its par tizan journals. While thus opening the way for your admiasion into the folds of the Black Republican party, you might at least have ?pared us thu unwarranted calumny of grat ing, that bul for the <; wisdom, moderation ?nd forbearance-"' of Gen. Sickles, u a consid ?rable number of troops would have been necessary to preserve public records, and iu ? ire the safety of sheriffs, -jjic." You well know how law-abiding aro the citizens of the Stale thus maligned by you, and that the only riotous demonstrations made since the war have been by negroes at places where United states troops were in force. in conclusion, I must say that your letter xeprosents the sentiments of only a small class of debtor;?, who prefer their individual well being to the preservation of the liberty of their country; and that all true South -Carolinians feel that Gen, Sicklea, while with us, whatever may have been his personal re lations to you, not only crushed out the sub stance of liberty, but likewise destroyed Hs forms. Yours respectfully, T. W. WOODWARD. A TALE WITH A MORAL.-An incident which which might, by a reporter disposed to be sensational, bc wrought into a column or so. occurred recently in a very respectable local ity. A gentleman, .returning from business rather earlier than his wont, was supprised to find his house in darkness. Entering, he was cordially greetod by his wife, who gave as an excuse for being in the dark that ?he was watching the street by moonlight. The fXplaDation was satisfactory, and the gentle man seated himself upon the sofa beside his wife. His foot came in eont&st with SOM e thing under the sofa which attracted his at tention. He caught hold of what appeared to be a man's boots, and hauled from under the sofa one of his bosom friends and near neighbors. In vain both the maa aud bis own wife protested that the scheme was de vi?adonly to ?care him ; he belabored him most soundly with a little rattan, and ended hy kicking Lim down the?tairs into the street minns coat and hat.* What transpired fur- I t h**r deponent saith not. Moral.-Don't try to scare your neigh- 1 hors by getting under their sofas while th*ie wives are around.-Milwaukie Sentinel. A COLOREO JUROR.-The Columbia Chron- ' kk of Friday says: "For the first time in our lives, we, the people of Columbia, yes terday saw seated in a jury box a colored man, , he having been chosen under the recent jury j ( rder of General Csnby. Christophe.- Haynes- j, worth is his name, and he is well known J j among our citiaena as one of the most indus- j trions and intelligent of bis race ic Colum bia, He is a barber bj tofo" ?1 Sr? beni. Ganny's Jury Order. The Columbia Chronicle tbns ably reviews the Jury Order-No. 89-which Judge AL DRICH, last week, refined to obey : First. The entire jury or?auization of the State, made in accordance wi'.b the law, is destroyed. The j dry lists prepared af- the Spring tel ra are null and void: The judges must, therefore, either prolong their terms,' this Fill, beyond the customary one week, or hold another c<urt,.to give tlo sheriff time to collect the necessary number of jurors : Seror.d. In preparing these new listsj tho tai list and registration lists mus: each be separately examined and then compared, to aa certain the names of persona who'".me within the requirements of the order. What officer of the State eau give a certificate- as tn the character of this registration, or the availa bility of any individual it embraces? This ? is one of the practical difficulties to be en j countered-.thc drawing Mid summoning of new jur rs daring tbe-apr roaching term, and .lu completion of the business before tue courts. But there are still craver complications irrowing out of Order No. 89. Who are "qualified voters?'' Under the strict and varied construction of the military bills, besides clerks, magistrates, tax Collectors and assesses there have been excluded fron?registration militia officers ned t e vari U? boards of commissi? mers hp;* i -t d by toe b gislaiure ur elected by the people. Tlirsc take no.oath to perform tb?-ir duties, receive no compensation for their services, and are required to serve two years, or pay a-fine of ?50. Kven though ihese office* were held twenty years ago, nevertheless, if the incum bents* happened to furnish a suit ?il clothing ora boras loth ir sou3 in the Confederate army, tint one act is sufficient ti disfranchise them. Hence, a very large class of intelli j gent and worthy cit'Zrns are excluded,- not j only from registration, but from the jury box. Ia twenty-three of the thirty one dwtricts of the State, the lists of registration sh??w j large coloured majorities-a total of 36.000. I Of thia number, it is estimated from the re 1 turns that only about five per cent, can read, wri'e or calculate .sums iu simple arithmetic. To illustrate: In Charleston, the o-Moured reg i.tration is 5098-the white 228?. Of the for mer 28o? were unable to sign their names { of .the latter, 118. The proporti ?n upon a jury there would thus be nearly eight coloured mcn to f >ur whites-five of the eight not be ing able to Mgn their names. The returns from Beaufort show Go white persons regis tered, and 2550 coloured persona-giving a proportion of one white man to every fourth jur)T, and eleven out uf twelve unable to resd ur write. In Georgetown, there are 418 whites and 341$ coloured voters registered. We are not aware that in any country the political faith of an individual has ever before been made a test of his eligibili'y a3 a juror, or that its jury beaches could be fill ;d indis criminately by men, without regard to atlea-t ?be qualification of intelligence. For the administration of justice in South Carolina, therefore, we must henceforth look to " these citizens who have paid taxes for thc current year, and are duly registered it voters." Who are they ? The General Assembly.in December, 1 SOG. imposed a tax of one dollar per head upon all males between the ages of twenty one and fifty capable of earning a support. One dol lar u?d a registered name-whether i' be I ru? or false-iherefore. buys a seal upoM the jury bench. But let us look a little lurther. To such a list as this are all the civil and criminal cases nf tiie State whether th<-y in volve one fir one million dollars; to be a?ihmit ted under Order No. 89. Nor will the Unite?! States Court be more fortunate. In Charle? j ton it is estimated there will be eight cd-mn-d j to lour wLite jurors ; in Columbia, nine co - i .ured to three white; and in Greenville, I -ight whites to four colour d juror*-chosen without respect of education, natural intrUi ?euee, or any other qualification, save!!..' the juryman ha. paid on?dollar tax, tied had his name entered as i voter. So Says Order N<?. 89.' Even the coloured man i< to be tried, per hap?, for his life, by twelve jurors, eicht or ten of whom are n this compeers in intelli gence, rtnd may have been selected from the no pct plantation. Is this nota mockery of justice ? tuc order, however, i s a file which cuts boih ways. Much as tho white or coloured Southerner may suffer from this wholesale employment of sheer ignorance the Northern claimant must suffer with him. To use a tomely but forcible saying, H What is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander," and the t.?-ial of his cause, especially when if involve? ?.reat and complicated interests, will not b tikely to satis'y him that the administrativ i'f justice under General Order No. 89 \> strictly in accor :_rtce with the apint ol' th? I ige or" illustrative ot the highest type of i o j ?itical virtue. We presume these fae's were not duly weigh I ?'d by Gen. (tanby before the iseue of his or ! ?1er, or that it was put forth in obedience to influences which he cou'd not control. What ever may have been the motive behind it, dis aster will follow in the Irnin of ita execution, and the peo: le will realize that nothing un< been done that will pfo^c so aestrudive. ii? ."?? inter.-s'-j ot" lh?

In South Carolina tho negro mujority is more than two to one,.and the aarae preponderarte nearly exists in Louisiana. In Florida the negroes are just two to one on the voting list. In Georgia and Alaharaa they have also ma jorities. Even in Old Virginia, the land ol Washington and Jefferson, the negroes count nearly one-half the voting population. Under the operation, therefore of the Mongrel negro suffrage policy, the Southern Stales have been completely Africanized. The majority of tin Congressmen from the South will b" negroes. Negroes will fill the places in the U ire?! States Senate which were once occupied bj Calhoun, and Freston, ?nd Kit g, and Berricri African rudeneaa and barbarism will be thrust into what was once the most dignified and intellectual body in thc world. In short, south of Kentucky, the negroes are to bc tb ruling cla-s. Tue lives, liberty and f triune.* of the whites will depend upon them. Tho negroes will have the Stute and local offi?:.?-?

The Radical party, vulnerable all over, is beginning to find itself transfixed with the arrows of truth. In Pennsylvania the straggle hos been between George Shawwood, Democrat, and Henry W.

Ac cording to dispatches and intelligence received thus far, Sharswood and democracy are triumph ant Sbarswond's majority in the State is sup posed to bo about three thousand.

Four niggers-men-pregnant with Suffrage and tbe Loyal League-victims of ignorance and delusion. The procession entered our town on Saturday afternoon last, coming from the Ridge. It consisted of Corporal ATcnrsox and a Private of the Federal (quad stationed here, and the four aforesaid hapless Leaguers. It was very grand and attractive. Dan Castillo's groat street cavalcade, with the untrammeled lion, is a poor show compared to it. The Lcaguors bad invaded, with force and arms, tho premises of ou? well known fellow-citizen Bernini. BoATWaicnT, E:q, of ino Ridge, for the purpose of arresting another nigger who wus not a Leaguer. The latter, it is said, bad had a difficulty with a Lenguor, and thr Provident of the League bad issued despotic or ders for bis arrost-dead or alive; and for this purpose had appointed a sqnad of ten men, all of the household of ff'th. Thee ten, of whom the Pre.-ident himsolf, Mojes Johnson, wis hoad and leader, armed to thc toetb, preserved them selves at Mr. BOATWRIGBT'S to seize the infidel, in Mr. B's service. Young SUMTTI f BoATwmcnT remonstrated with them, and induced them in some way or ether to quit tho premises. And upon their J ting so, lost no time in reporting the ciso to headquarters.

Af t-r a night in our cala boose, they were transplanted to Aiken-and to the presence, wo hope, of a military court which | will moto ont full juitice to tho perpetrators of this high-handed outrage.

WASHINGTON, Get. ll. In discussing the President's refusal ul a serenade last night, the Intelligencer says: " Tbe voices of a whole people redeemed, re ger crated and disenthralled, are joined in one great pooan of thanksgiving, the grandeur of vrhoie thunder tones mocks any petty load demonstration, however great or enthusiastic." The Baltimore American places General Grant for President at the head of its columns. The cotton claims of loyal Sou'hern owner?, amounting to one hundred and twenty, thou sand dollars, awarded by the Court of Claims in Juno last, has beet) paid at less than two and a half per cent tax. The ;uocest>ful claimant? are residents of Mobile, Charleston aDd Atlanta. The Court nquircd absolute proof that the claimants never voluntarily aided the rebellion. It is anncunced in Washington that, the meeting for the ratification of Andrew John son for President and General William T. Sherman for Vice President, which was ap pointed for the 10th inst., has been postponed until the lSth proximo, when it will be held in the capitol. There is much speculation about the proba ble * ucccssor of General Grant in thu War Department. It appears to be conceded that the General will be relieved of official coutrol of that department in a few days, but who *ill succeed him is not well settled. The on ly names thus far suggested aru Generals Blair, McClernand, Ewing and Steedman. The probability is, if either of thea ? be se lecti d for the position, preterenco will be giv . i in the order they are named. 1 have it from a good source, however, that it is deter mined that General Steedman will not be ap pointed, for reasons mutually understood by himself and Mi. Johnson.-Baltimore Sun. Important Proposition. The following statement is made by the Washington correspondent of the New York Herald; u An important proposition has just been started by influential Republicans which 3cems to meet with considerable favor, and may have a controlling influence upon the ac tion of Congress at the approaching session and upon the next Presidential election. It is that a Congressional cointui tee shall be ap pointed, by the consent of all Senators and Representatives who concur in the proposi tion, to wait upon Presideut Johnson and re quest him to state definitely what plan he has io submit for the speedy recons rjction and admission of the Southern States, an ho hat} hitherto opposed every policy that has bejn initiated by C^ngre.-.e. They presume that he has a d?finit, practical plan of reconstruc tion in his own mind which he believes would be effective and which would meet his appro val. They would then ascertain to a certaiu ty whether there is any posmbilily of the legislative and executive branches of the gov ernment harmonizing on a policy that would restore the ex-rebel States to representatiou before the next Presidential election, or whether the country must remain in its present condition until those two branches shall be brought iuto accord by the decisi n of ti e ballot-box in 1#CS. Attempts have before been made to patch tip a compromise between the President and Congress, but they have been only individual volunteer efforts. The proposed movement contemplates the concur renee of a sufficient number of Republicans to secure a majority of each House should any agreement be possible, and the applica tion to the President will be formal and au thoritativc. It originates with tuos2 who fear that impeachment may bring a destructive financial crisis upon the country, and is said to meet the approval of Senator Morgan, of New York, and other representatives of 'con stituencies particularly concerned in the financial prosperity of the country. It would moreover form the nucleus of a new conutitu tiona! party all oT<r the Union." Front Richmond. RICIIMONP, October 12, p. m.-The case of General Imhod^n ia exciting some Interest.

In case tho Court refus' s to grant the writ, he will appeal to the Supreme C?.urt of the United Slates, .?.rid thus test the validity of thc oath required by the Reconstruction Act and demonstrate what virtue there is in the pardon accorded by the President to the excluded class. General 0. Brown, chief of the Bureau, has received a letter from Norfolk tx plaining i he troubles nn the Taylor farm. The ne groes have been allowed to remain thpre up . o this time unmolested. Taylor was pardon ed more than a year ago. Ile has been en deavoring to get them off but they have per sistently refused to leave. A few days sioce a P'ir.y went out from Norfolk, accotnpmied nv an aeent of the bureau, to persuade them ? leave, off-ring them' place? on General Wise's 'arm. which ia still in the hands of the Government. They assembled together and, through their spokesman, refused all offers of A compromise, declaring the President bad no right to pardon Taylor, and that they would remain on the farm and defend what they considered their property, ag&i.istall comers. Sieps will be taken to eject them by civil process. There has been no outbreak aa yet, ?ind no armed'demonstration was made.

Proclamation by the President. WASHINGTON, Oct. 8. The President has issued the following proclamation: Whereas, it has been ascertained that in i he 19th paragraph of the proclamation of the President of the United States of the 2lkh of August, ltftyi, declaring the insurrec tion at an end, which had heretofore ex isted in the State of Texas, the previous proc la nalion of the 13th of June, 18-63, instead of that of the 2d of April, 1806. was referred to. Now, thereto e, Be it known, That I, Andrew Johnson, President of the UuitedStates, do hereby de clare and proclaim, that thc said words " l3tb of June, lSCG,'' are to be regarded as errone ous in the paragraph adverted to, and that the worda " second day of April, 1866," are to be considered as substitutes therefor. A Bashful Youth. Cousin Kate was a sweet, wide awake beau ty of about seventeen, and she took it into ber head to go down on Long Island to see some relations of hers who had the fortuue to live lhere. Among those- relations there chanced to be a young man Swaiu who had aeen Kate on a previous occasion, and uceing, fell deeply in love with her. He called at the house on the evening of her arrival, aud she was enjoying the evening air iu company with two or three of her friends. The poor fellow waa so bashful that he could uot ?nd hjs tongue for eora-j timo. At length he stammered ?ut: M How'a your mother 7'' ? Quite well, thauk you." Another silence on tho part of Josh, during which Kite and her friends did the best they could to releivc the monotony. After wait ing about fifteen minutes for him to com mence to make himself agreeable, he broke the spell by " How is your father ?" Which was an swered much alter the same fashion as the first ono, and then followed another sil?ne? like the other. " How'a your father and mother ?" again put in the bashful lover. " Quite well, both of them." This * m followed by an exchange of glance? ard a suppressed smile. Thia laated some ten minutes more, during which Josh was filleting in his seat and stroking his Sunday nat. But at length an other question came " How's your parents?" This produced an explosion that made the woods ring. No Oms.-Our worthy Sheriff, J. M.

At the meeting in Charlottesville, which ominated Judge Rives and James Taylor colored) for the Convention. Fairfax Taylor colored) presided, and John Wood, Esq, Ced as secretary. We perceive in the report f the proceeding*, that there was some ob ?ction among the radicals, both white and ilack, to the electing of a negro to any uffiu; t the present time ; but the meeting was of . different opinion, and rominated Taylor by three-fourths vote. Mr. Poore, an ex Fede al officer, from Gordons vi Ile, recently nomi-; lated by the colored people of Orange for the /onvention, addressed the meeting: He told them he waa from Ohio, wheretbo ?tate election would be held in a few days. Ie said the conduct of the colored people at he South would have great influence on the lections at the North ; that the Democratic larty was opposed to negro suffrage, and if a onvention like this should throw overboard manlike Judge Rives, a Republican, it rould be used against the Republican party nd thc colored people. He therefore urged hem to nominate Judge Rives. Fairfax Taylor earnestly opposed.thenomi lation of a colored man, making a speech p hi ch evidently impressed tho audience. He aid that the colored man who bad been put n nomination was his son ; but that he wos oo deeply imprefsed with the impolicy of unning a colored man to be influenced by ven that. He said bespoke for his race, and ie warned them against so imprudent a step. ?be colored man, he ?aid, was not qualified ar such a responsible position, and thvy were lOt yet out ot the woods. It would impede heir progress to put colored men forward as andidates lor the Convention. Hopkins was .Iso opposed to a colored man. He said the oloied man didn't have the sense to do anv iling. He wanted a white mau, but a radical rhite man, whom they could trust. Dr. Dinwiddie, of the Registration Board, emonstratcd against the nomination of-col ired men. He asked : Is it policy BO to do ? Ie did not deny their right; but he asked if t waa policy ? He- affirmed that it was not. f they sent a colored man, the day would ome when they would rue it. The time rould come when they might elect colored nen to office-when they were better edu ated and better qualified for such responsible lattes. But to do so at this stage w< uld in ure the Republican party-it might ruin thc Republican party. He begged them uot to do o foolish a thing. H. C. Harris (colored) took the same round. He said it was dangerous to send a olored man to the Convention. But these emoustranees were of no effect. African Colonization. WASHINGTON, Oct. 7.-The packet ship rolconda, Capt.
