Opinion of the Attorney General
The opinion of Mr. STAN BERRY, Attorney
Qcnoral of tho United States, construing the
reconstruction laws of Congress, in part, has
boen received just as we arc in thc net of go
ing to press. It is very lengthy, and uot as
olear upon all points as could have been desi
ted. A hasty perusal, has brought us to thc
following conclusions, which, however, may
not bo entirely correct :
1. Tho decisions of thc different boards of
registers is to be Pnal. No other power or
authority can add to or properly craso a name
from their lists.
2. Militia officers, before thc war, can reg
ister wtth safety.
3. Members of Congress, members of thc
Legislature, prior to May 16,1805 ; members
of tho seocssion conventions ; officers of tho
Confederate government, civil aud military,
oro disfranchised.
i. Tho executive and judicial officers of
caoh of tho rebel States aro disfranchised
MBraHy ss to county, district, and
sonic other local officers.
0. Commissioners of roads, and such like
officers, aro not disfranchised.
According to this opinion, which wo will
endeavor to lay before our readers next week,
the disfrauciaed class is much larger than has
been anticipated.
The Distillation of Grain.
Wo publish in another column " General
Orders, No. 25," issued by Gen. SIOKT.ES,
whioh prohibits, by the most direct nnd op
pressive form, tho distillation of grain into
spirituous liquors. In times of destitution
and great suffering, ns now oxist in this State,
Buch action may bo defended, as just and hu
mano j nevertheless, this order, with the exe
cution of thc internal revenue laws, aro ex
tremely burdensonio and oppressive to thc
pcoplo of this section.
This ordor makes tho possession of a still
presumptive evidence of guilt. Ordinarily,
fchts-would be tl hardship ; but, since tho fa
mous raid of Capt. ARNIM, very few stills can
bo found in this rcgiou. And those left be
hind, wo imagine, will bc rather difficult lo
locate I
Legal Tender.
Tho Supremo Court of thc United States,

dod that, where thc plaintiff had deposited

of merchandize, and not ns money.

INDIGNATION MEETINO CALLEO.-A de
spatch from Springfield, Massachusetts, says :
An indignation meeting has boen called by
prominent oitizons for to-morrow night, to de
termine what notion tho pcoplo will take to
suppress unuioroiful crime, wanton barbarity,
anof other heinous orimes itt thc public schools.
? Move in tho Right Direction.
Thc people of Darlington District aro mov
ing in tho immigration sohomo. A public
meeting hos becu held at Florence, at which
?OD. WAU KN Ell made a most capital speech
on thc subject. His remarks aro lengthy, aud
wc arc unable to make room for them to-day.
Wo cannot resist the temptation, however, to
give a few extracts. In relation to thc forma
tion of ass jciations in each Distriut, ho says :
u To be practical, however, 1 would respect
fully suggest that you at once form an asso
ciation, or, if more convenient, several asso
ciations, to inquire and register muong your
selves what lands can be B pa red, and then set
upon them tho most reasonable prices and
make thc most liberal conditions. Farms may
be laid oil' in tifty acres and upwards, giving
some cleared and ani?o wooded lauds, with a
proportion of good and inferior, us the case
may bo. At thc same time, Iel these associa
tions ascertain whtit h.borors yon will want,
and what is tho best you can do for them ?
Such associations could also very well tell
what prospects there aro in any purl of their
districts for mechanics of every branch. How
much better is it to have all wants supplied
at homo, where tho cost will either bo spent
again for some useful purpose, or go to thc in
crease of tho general resources. In nil thia |
it should ne"cr bc forgotten that the people
who shall como will bo your fellow-citizens
and co-workers for tho roetqieration of tho
whole; that their descendant? will mix with
ybttr descendants, und that their grand chil
dren may bo your grand children ; that how
ever 8trauge their manners may seem to be.
they will assimilate tb your liutnilors utter u
while; mid that if you are disappointed in
some things, they also may bo disappointed ill
ninny things. Furopean immigration is deem
ed of such vital importance in tho West, thal
their measures for its acquisition ure almost
scientific; yes,and their schemes for overreach
ing the immigrant, of getting hold of his gold,
and of forever fastening him toa certain local
ity, are a science beyond a doubt. And no
wonder, when we remember that tho gold of
tho yearly immigration is equal lo tho gold
product ions of all California. Tho German
population of Charleston is about 8,500 souls,
and to my own personal knowledge over 00,
000 dollars in gold have come to them from
their fatherland during thc last two years."
Referring to tho establishment of manufac
tories, he says :
" There is otto other subject, which 1 deem
of vast importance, ami to which ? desire to
call your serious attention, as it will have a
powerful influence upon immigration, inas
much as it will open a wider field for tho me
chanics of ovcry branch, and for thc profitable
employment of other than agricultural people
Besides, it will bc calculated lo develop thc
resources of our State to such un extent, ns to
make her truly independent-I moat) the es
tablishment of small factories, fur tho produc
tion of such articles, as are in emu mon de
mand, and for which special facilities occur
And how can that be done? It is true, we
aro now laboring,under ibo distressing disad
vantage of tho total want of ready money.
jjjot sn punning Jl'll " ll 1 8 f--"j-'~
thc stock of which should be so much lands,
valued at so much ? If yon cannot borrow on
thc value of the lands now, you might agree
by u rulo of your constitution, lo apply every
dollar of tho lands sold to the establishment bf
a certain factory. As soon ns ono should be
established, your shares would have a market
able value. I can morely tiow indicate what
may lead to your future consideration. But.
thon, how can you expect success where you
do not understand thc business? Intelligent
men can and will learn, even if they have to
pay a price for it. However, in this, my own
experience may be of some uso to yon. Thc
first powder factory in the South was estab
lished by myself. I did not then understand
tho subject, uor wtts there a man in the Dis
triet that knew anything about it. 1 sen! for
a competent man, who first superintended the
construction and afterwards managed the fac
tory. I made as good powder ns tiny North
ern mill, and ns much as was required, and
besidos, the other workmen speedily ncqnircd
so full a knowledge of the process, io subject
mo to no further inconvenience. Thus all
difficulties can bc overcome, and after awhile
will bc difficulties no more. There is no limit
to the power of association. There is cn cou r
ngemeut, appreciation, ambition and applause
that urge on tho more energetic, which I hoy
seldom find in tho pursuit oi' their individual
affairs."
Gen. WAOKNKU, although surrounded with
gloomy forebodings, nevertheless rises high
above the depressions of thc hour. In closing
his able and very prncticil address, bc says :
"It is a grand and a noblo feature in tho
people of South Carolina, that they, after hav
ing fought through a bloody mid protracted
war, such as tho world bas seldom seen ; after
having made sacrifices, such ns few commu
nities have over made; after having suffered
losses, such as hnvo boon sustained by hardly
n nation on earth, enough to causo the despair
of tho generality of mankind ; that they should
not once lose their courage mid energy, hut
should look forward with bright and intelli
gent eyes, and with a proud will and determi
nation to rebuild their ruined homes ?iud to
lay tho- proper foundation of renewed prosper
ity. And prosper they must, for God he is
just. Yes, I nm cert ain, sure, that tho time
is coming, mid not far distant either, let poli
tics result ns they may, when our present dis
tress will disappear like a dream, and when
our good old State shall ngnin smile upon her
children, clad in tho garments of joy'find hap
piness, full of power mid resources to protect
them against every evil. And ns firmly ns I
believe in this, I believe nlso, th nt you, fellow
citizens, by your present movement (iud its
consequences, me laying one of tho principal
ooruer-stoncs, and you will have a right to Le
proud of having been tho first to adopt practi
cal measures for tho resuscitation of your na
tivo Carolina. God bless her ovorinorc."
Tho appcnl of Gen. WAUKNKII to tho peo
ple of Darlington to organize associations, for
furthering tho scheine of immigration, is
strong indeed; and induced thc meeting to

of bringing prominently boforo tho world her
advantages, nat m al and acquired ?
Piokons District constitutes a large area of
territory. Tho climate, nut harsh in winter,
is not only pleasant during tho other seasons,
but very salubrious. Its acquired advantages
?re also cousiderablo : It is easy of access by
railway-its inhabitants mostly white, and
surrounded by tho vivifying and refreshing
influences of rural homes, churches and school
houses. Its natural advantages aro not sur
passed : Its timber is good and abundant
its water-power ample for any purpose-its
mineral resources, varied, abundant and rich !
It is worth while, we think, to present these
advantages, in the best, possible form, tu those
who have the means to develop them. What

General Orders No. 28.
UKAUQ'US 2D MILITARY DISTRICT,
CHARLESTON, May 20, 1857.
It appears from sundry petitions and official
representations, that thc present scanty sup
ply ot" food in tho Carolinas is seriously di
minished by thc large quantity of grain con
sumed in numerous distilleries, put up and
worked in defiance of the revenue laws of tbe
United States ; it is represented that few or
none of tbo requirements of law are observed
in any of tbese establishments j that the offi
cers of tbo internal revenue service, while en
deavoring to assess and collect tbo whiskey
tax, arc frequently treated with disrespect and
sometimes menaced willi violence ; und that
when ol?ondcrs aro prosecuted in tbo civil
courts and violations of thu internal revenue
laws indisputably proved, juries fail to con
vict tbe parties ; it is further shown that this
unlawful trudie inultos food dearer in places
where large numbers aro depending upon pub
lic and pri vate bounty ; that tbe Ciovormnout
is, besides, defrauded of a largo amount of
revenue; that ibo authority of its civil olli
cers is brought into cou toni pt ; und, further
more, tliat tbe luisoltiof complained nf tends
to incroase poverty, disorder and crime ; there
fore, in thc exercise uf the authority vested
in thc Commanding Gouoral, it is ordered
tbnt :
I. Thc distillation or manufacturo of whis
koy or otbor spirits from grain is prohibited
in this military district Any person so cn
gngo 1 or employed will bc deotned guilty of a

other apparatus for ibis purpose will be con
sidered presumptive evidence of a violation
of the revenue laws, and the party nr partie*
using tim same, or on whose promises or in
i whose possession tho same may be found, will
! he arrested and brought to trial before a mili
tary tribunal, composed of tho commanding
olUccr of the post, and two officers of thc til
my next in rank on duty within the territorial
limits of tho post. If tbe exigencies of tin
servi co do not permit the detail of other ofll
oers, that fact will be duly certified, and thc
post coin mander will ?lear aud determine lb
case.
II. Thc penalties, punishments and forfci
tures prescribed by tho several Acts of Con
gross for distilling or manufacturing wbiskey
or other spirits, in violation of tbo rbvonut
laws, will be imposed and executed by tin
military tribunals hereby authorized.
III. No sentence extending to imprison
meut, forfeiture of stills, liquor or other prop
orly, or thc imposition of a lino or other pen
ally, will be carried into eflbct until report?e,
