It is always better to pass a dozen
intended insults without recognition,
than to take offence at a single unia
tentional- neglect or reflection. Mis
understandings are fruitful of more
unkindly feeling in society than ever
result from deliberate ill-nature.
The question is, shall the president
of the-Znited States 'ce permitted to

rate the gravity of the question.

manner in which some men economize
in these times reminds one of R. Wi)

tied. As Dickens says : "His black hat
was brown before he could afford a
coat, his pantaloons wcre white at the
seams and knees before he couldc buy
at pair of boots, lhis boots had worn
out before he could treat himself to
new pantaloons. and by the time he
worked round to the hat again that
shining modern article roofed in an
ancient ruin of various periods."
The Policy of Hate.

Gov. Smitmh, in hss message to the
Georgia Legislature, speaks as follows
of the evil em:et of the Radical policy
'on the prospects of the South:
The eb'ief obstacle in the wvy of

The erowning net in this course of

be little ground of hope for the per-i

produced the contrary effect. and pa

almost universal sentiment of condem

The cbange in public sentimet in- I
dicated by the recent elections also
leads us to lork for an etrly reforima

Federal Government towards t h e
Southern States. If the policy of irri
tation should be abandoned, the two
races would soon establish such social
and business relations with each other
as their own peace, happiness and true
interest require. In other words, our
people only ask that they be secured
in the great right of local self-govern
ient as it once existed in all the E
States of the Union, but which is en
joyed alone by the people of the North

The Freedmais Bank.
I SENATOR RoBERTSON STANDS SQUA RE
LY BY THE DEFRAUDED DEPOSITORS.
UNITED STATES SENATE CH.AMIER,
WAS111N(TON. -January 12, 175.
A. ). Jones, Esq, Cterk of House
o if epresentatiies : SiR--i have the
honor to acknowledge the receipt of
the -concurreut resolution" of the
;encral Assembly of the State of
South Carolina. relative to the Freed
man's Bank. I cordially concur in
the purposes of the resolution.
The theory announced in the organi
zation of the Freedman's Bank, by
the Congress of the United States.
that a place of safe deposit was to be
I furnished, where our enfranchised fel
low-citizens could securely ' deposit
their earnings, was wise, and fouud a
c,rdial response in every philanthrop
iC heart. It tended to encourage
habits of laborious industry and self
denial, so important under the circum
stances, and gave the hope of progress
by material prosperity, which is the
true basis of all aravanceiment. The
mnisny>lication of the deposits in tihe
Freedman's Bank cannot, therefore,
but be regarded a great national
calam it v.
There can be no doubt but that
credit was given to the bank, and de
posits induced by the impression gene
raliy existing that the Government of
the United States was a guarantor of
the institution, it is also notoriously
true that officials of the United States,
especially those enaed in the Freed
man's Bureau. did hold forth every en
couragem ent to depositors, and gave
out that the bank was a national in
stttution, and under guaranty of the
I eneral government. By these means
mumltitudes of our fellow-citizeus were
iinduced to deposit their scanty means
in the bank, often at the price of
great self-denial on their part and
the part of their families.
Under this state of thin.is I consid
er that the national government is un
der a strong obligation to make good
to depostitors all deficiencies.
Holdin:; these views, I will do
everything in my power to promote
such legislation as is necessary to meet
the purposes of the concurrent reso
lution.
Very r,:spectfully,
T. J. R OBE RTSON.

makes an elaborate appeal to the legis

exceodingly difficeult for them to do
amd recommends the e'lectioii ofjustices

siik of iniquity-be abolished. It
was only the other daiy that the meim

tingenit futid the means of an elaborate
'job." The Governor suggests the
adoption of the plan of euniulative
voting in maunicipal elections, believing
that the practical working; of miinoritv
rereseutat ion in the State should
have a fair' triail. The message is a
very creditable one, and the thing
n 'w to be deaired of the Gov~iernor is a
irm voi :e in deuouncing roguery,
wherever he may see fre-sh cases of it,I

The Edgefield Trouble,4.
The many conflicting reports pre
-ailing in regard to the Edgefield
lifficulties during the past week are
ubstantially summed up as.follows
xen. Butler's house was set on fire by
L negro, who admits that he was paid
1.) to coinnit the foul deed, by the
iotorious Tennant. In the atteimipts
rade to arrest Tennant there was
hooting on both sides, and four colored
nen were nortallv wounded. Intense
.xcitement prevailed,and it was feared
:at a wide-spread scene of bloodshed
,vould result from the incendiary con
luet of the arch fiend who is respon
;ible for all the trouble which has
thus far occurred.
-There is but little doubt but that
the burning of Gen. Butler's house,
by wl-ich the lives of hi,; wife and
:-hiUdren were endangered, was prompt
d in retaliation for the action of the
1onmmittee in waiting upon the Guv
rnor some time since in regard to the
lilitia.
The latest is that Tennant and a
aumber of his company have been
:rrested.
An order issued for the arrest of
Gen. Butler, caused that gentleman to
leliver himself up. A committee of
iix from the General Assembly visited
Edgefield to investigate. All is quiet.
Legislative.
The Governor has had another test
with the Assembly, this time in the
matter of appointments of trial justices
fr Chester. Among the list of nomi
aations sent in by him were the names
f several Conservatives. In the Senate,
iowever, these names were laid over
nd all others confirmed. Whereupon
the Governor informed the body that
when he could not find an honest, capa
ble republican, that lie would aUpoint
one from the opposite side, and that if
it ws meant to-correet the abuses com
plained of he must have their aid. He
intimated further that he would not
submit to ring dictation, and that if the
tight was kept up .he would refuse to
appoint until after the adjournment of
the Legilatuire. The conseotuence w~as
that the nominations were all confirmed.
Resolutions from the Governor of Tir
ginia, passed byV the General Assembly
of that State, were p)resented on Satur
day in relation to the military usurpa
ion of Louisiana, condemnatory of the
course pursued. The effe2ct of these
resolutions was as might have been ex
peted. The Phxcnix says that Whitte
more cussed. The resolutions were ta
bled. A bill has been introduced re
quirng clerks of courts to record all
marriages that shall take place in their
respective counties.
The House hill to provide for the
registration of the qualified electors of
the State was carried by a strict party
ote, three Conservatives voting withi
the lilpublicans.
A bill to prevent cotton factors from
taking an unfair advantage of those
whose cotton they sample has been in
:roduced. It provides among other
items that factors found guilty of taking
i greater quantity of cotton from a
*ale than is necessary, shall be dleemled
;uilty of misdemeanor, and be punished
i court discretion, ands hall account
'or the cotton so taken at its price per

There is a possibility that an adjourn

'he Freedman'M Bank Swindle.
The report of the Freedman's
evings and Trust Company having
ot into print. the pubheo will aIt last
~now something about one of the most
itrocious frauds that has been as yet
~epetrated upon the colored people,
od by which two millions of dollars
f their hiardl earnings have been trob
uled up by a "ring of christian states
nen and adventurers."

l'he other million and odd dollars
irc made up of toans at the South
ra branches, (of which the conmmis
sioners say that not one-half can ever
be collected, (of Northmless securities and
depreciated real estate. It is proposed
that the governument shall buy the
bank buildin'g and adjoining real estate
in this city, which is estimated to be
worth 8313.218.2ii. But Congress
will probably refuse to do this, and it
would not be surprising if the estate
should be sold for one-half its esti
mated value. Any resident of the
District of Columbia need only glance
at the schedule of loans at the princi
pal office, to perceive that it' is utterly
improbable that one-half of this sum
:an ever be collected. On the other
and, the expense of closing up the
iairs of the bank, with the attendant
i rifie, will be im.
meise. It is therefore no exaggera- m
tion to say that twenty per cent. at
the most is all that the unfritunate
depositors can ever r.eive of their
.0.00(W(). This stu pI dA., jobbery
is the direct consequene of the di- P
honesty and disregard of law of the
mn who have managed the affair, if
the bank, many of whoi have h!
made famous already by their connee
tion with the Freedman's Bureau. the
district ring, and other orL-anized
Schemes of plauder.
The report shows that 72.000 ctn
fiding freedmen have suffered by the
defunct institution. The amount d- fc
posited in Charleston wa. S25345.y
and in Beaufort,-St'5,592.
The responsibility for these fraudui
lent operations. extendi--( over nearly
tenl years. rests upon thle s houlders of tt:
a grtat mnany perSon;s-not only the <
ofAietrs of the bank. but inembe,s ofm
Congress who have assisted to shield i
the banI from investigation. In fact
nearly everybody who has ever been
connected with the bank seems to
share in the culpable managcmient.
But the only persons who ean be pro
ceeded against are the surviving offi
cers of the bank who managed its
loans: and that these men should be P
properly punished it is necessary
that a special act sha'l be passed. The k
board of connissioners having the i it
affairs of the bank in charge seem to
be doing their duty faithfully, but it I
is evident that a more thorough and C
searching investigation, which seeks
to find out men, and not the lost
moneys of the poor freedmen, is neces
sary to determine how many scoundrels
shall go to prison.
The Future or Charleston. 1:
The future of Charlestou is thus
described by the Chicago Tmes of
Januarv 10th :c
t
CHICAGO AND CAARLESTON.
A new competitor for the grain d
trade of the Northwest is about to s
appear in an unexpected quarter.- A
Charleston, South Carolina, has be- A
come reanimated, and will enter the A
lists as a rival of New York. Boston,
Philadelphia, and Baltimore, offering
a better home market than either for I
the grain and provisious ot the sectiou
of which Chicago is the centre, and
holding at least equal advantages f.r)
commanding the export trade. Within
two or three years Charleston will oc
cupy the place in public attention
that Baltimore now holds, aud the t
completion of the Chicago and S.Outh
Atl;. Railroad will be looked upon r
as an event of importance equal at r
leat to that of the Baltimore and t
Ohio which has just been welconed a
to this citV.
In the dark days of the pauic of
1l7-3, a meeting of railroad iwn of
the Northwest and Southeast was held
in this city to consider the project of
building a trunk line to connect the
two sectious. Seven States-Illinois,
Indinai, Kentucky, Tennessee, Geor- I
gia, North Carolina, and South Caro-t
lina-were represented. The confer
ence resulted in a determination to
forward the enterprise with all possible
dispatch, and was followed by another.
convention held two months later in
Charleston, under the auspices of the I
Chamber of Commerce of that city.
The preliminary arrangements were at
once comnpleted, and the great work
was commenced.
The Chiicato and South Atlanticf
Railroad will constitute a trunk linei
from Chicago to Charleston, the route I
being from this city to the State line
at D)yer, thence through Indiana to
the Ohio River at Vevay. thence
through Kentucky to London, thence
via Spartanburg to Charleston. A
very large portion of the line is already
built aind in operation under different
companies, while the new company is
filling in the gaps, connecting the
diferent links, and making one eon
tinuous line, which it will control and
operate. The road from this city to
Indianapolis is under contract, and one
hundred and five 'miles are nearly
completed. The work is being pushed
ahead as rapidly as a due regard for
economy will permit, and the com
pany's resources are said to be ample
for the completion of the entire line.
To the cities of Chicago and.
Charleston this enterprise is one of
vast importance; to the latter city it
is ofC surpassing importance, andl its
completion will be the beginning of a
new era for South Carolina. The road
will traverse a vast extent of fertile I
territory hitherto untapped by any
railroad, and will afford the means for
an immense exchange of the products
of various climates. It will open to
Chicago an extensive market for grain
and provisions, It is estimated thait
forty millions of bushels of corn arce
consumed annually in the Southeastern
States, which will be supplied by this
road, arid, with its completion, they
will for the first time experience the'
benefit of an abundant supply of cheap
provisions. There is no better mar-keti
in the country for the rapidly increas- f
in prdut of the Northwest than is
found in tbe section which this road
will reach. Not only is the demand
for consumption very large, but the
x port demand will be corr-espondingly
ureat. Charleston has a fine harbor-,j
and a very important shipping inter-j
est. which has been largely increased
within the past two years. It is now
the most prosperous seaport in tihe
South, and the favorable pr-ospects of
tis new trunk line indicate that itsi
prosperity is destined soon to receive
a very gratifying impetus.
Of course Chicago cannot look upon
tis enterprise with indifference.
When Boston builds a new elevator.
Chicago hesitates not to speak a word
of eneouragrement ; when Philadelphia
starts a newr steamship line the word
of congratulation is not delayed,and the
new 'oimpetitor for the tid con lftrolled
y the (Garden ('ity shall receive the
same fair treatment. To long-suffering
Charleston just entering upon a newI
areer of enterprise and prosperityt
Chicago sends greetings, and best
wishes of success. It
