Tho list o? exceptions is short, and wc trust these will disappear in good time. Practically, thc am nesty amounts to very little at tho present time, for tho reason that tho reconstruction acts of Congress forbids thc persons so relieved generally from voting.

"A GRAND COUP D'HTAT."-Among the roany outgivings of Washington correspon donta, thc following, addrossed to tho " Cin cinnati Enquirer," is worthy of attention, if wo might hope that tho author is a man of judgment and enjoys extraordinary facilities for obtaining information : Do not bo surprised if thc telegraph somo evening brings you tho intelligence that thc President has struck a grand coup d'etat, and has by one masterly movement, freed himself from tho toils that his enemies and thc Rump Congress havo woven around him.

What Shall Be Done? (Jp to this timo, thcro has boon tho oxpros siou ol' but two opinions in this State,'sftyB the " Camdon Journal." Ono, thc opinion represented by Gov. PURRY, which is attrac tive to some boouuso it is a spocics of" rcsist anee, and which, in his last letter har taken u j shape which can only initiate. Tho other,1 that represented by tho luto colorcd'oouven tion in Columbia, which professes toippport tho reconstruction acts, but endeavors at tho samo time to vise that support ns a means of forcing upon tho State negro supromaoy and agrarian legislation. Botwcon theso two opinions the Republican part^ cannot, nod will not hesitate, however convinced they may bo, and Micro ia evidence of tho fact, that this alliance W dangorous, | however muoh they may desire to avoid re- j sponsibility for the folly and confusion which ^ will inevitably result from tho negro rule, the instinct of party preservation, thc mainten ance of party power will not allow opposition or resistance to the reconstruction act. if then there aro but these parties in tho State, the Republican rfarty will give its support to that represented by the radicals at Columbia. If thia is inevitable we must bear it of ?puree, as we. havo horne. That after "."ol. nxifForiOg, snob a monstrous condition of things wjll pro duce a reaction, is of course certain. HrTqt re?. action after such a consummation will only bo another revolution and in the meantime who onu measure tho ruin that will havo bceu ef fected. Now. if possible, this ruin should be avoid ed. Wo think there is a third party in thc State who do not follow Gov. PURRY ou thc one side, or tolerate thc policy of the Columbia Convention on tho other-who believe that tho war has decided certain issues against us, that tho abolition of slavery has entailed cer tain consequences which may be wisely di rected but cannot be resisted--that universal suffrage, however mischievous, can now only be corrected by doing our best to fit the frecd men for its exercise, and so obtaining his con fidence that bc will not desire to uso it against us. In n word, that the Reconstruction act is thc settlement of our late civil dissensions ; not the one we wished for, but tho establish ment of the new conditions to which it is wiso for ua to conform. Kuoh a party, if Organ ized would embrace the bulk of tho character and intelligence of the State and effect three things. 1st. It would put the State right before the country, which is misled by extreme lan guage on either aide. 2d. lt would secure tho support of a large body of quiet, orderly and respectable negroes who nt present haviug no support from us, are either forced or cajoled iuto joining thc Union league. 3d. It will satisfy the Republican party that negro supremacy is not necessary to thc faithful execution of the reconstruction acts, and will either enable thom honestly to with draw their present support of radical agitation in tho State or compel thom to take titi;full responsibility of the unnecessary confusion and folly which this enforced negro supifema oy will occasion. x , It seems to us that some such actuMfj can alone sayo us from thc c?nBequen?c?r*\yJvi<j)> the control of the State by such a party.as waa represented in the Columbia Convention threatens. The Elections. The fall elections have commenced. Ver mont bas fired the first gun for the Radical party, giving a majority of 18,000, for a rad ical Governor. The Legislature is also in tensely Radical. California, however, has gone for tho dom ocrats-" horse, foot and dragoons." The dotnoerats elect their Governor, three Con gressmen, and a majority in the Legislature j thus scouting a U. S. Senator in the place of Mr. CON NESS, a thorough Radical.

Thc country-that is to say, tho Govern ment-is in a highly apparent prosperous con dition j indcod, finniioially, it novor has pro souted a moro favorable account curront, says tho " Columbia Phoenix." Tho last exhibit from Washington shows that thoro are over $100,000,000 in gold and ovor $50,000,000 iu ourronoy in tho Troasury, and that tho rev enue is coming in nt tho rato of 88,000,000 j to 810,000,000 a week. It is estimated that thc war debt can bo paid in loss than fifteen years, if the fiuanoial department of thc Gov erumcut Bbould bo faithfully aud honestly ad ministered. But, even with this favorabio exhibit, tho couutry, in a business point of view, presents a -moro singular anomalous spectacle. Tho crops aro most abundant. In all tho largo commercial oities-thc great con tres of trade-there is an almost unpreccden- j ted plethora of money, and yet, strange to say, there is equally an almost unprecedented stagnation in business. The underlying causo of this curious state of affairs is a? yet scarce ly understood ; but that it is, in a groat meas ure, owing to the increasing burden of taxa tion upon the peoplo, thoro can be little doubt. Business confidence is, moreover grontly damaged by the adverse political situation of tho country. Notwithstanding thc immense amounts of capital laying dormant and un productive, both in this country and Europe, tho magnificent resources of the South, with her millions of acres of tho finest cotton, to bacco, rice and sugar lands, are wanting for thc application of capital-and, we might add, of reliable labor-to develop her vast re sources. But, beside her fertile soil and gon ial climate, tho South tecina with mineral wealth, in iron, gold, copper and coal. The best wheat in the country is grown hero, and the besi flour sent hence to the markets of the country. And what obstructs the deve?op uicntH of these grand treasures of the soil ? Nothing but the petty par tizan spirit which now prevails and rules the country-a con temptible ambition by those in power to hold on, to tho last gasp, to that power which they nre now wielding with such mischievous ro suits. Gb! for the statesmanship of the past, when snob minds os Webster, Calhoun and Clay ruled thc councils of the country ! And might we not add thc prayer for one week's b'.ypoutiro culmiulstratlotl Of thc laws mid maintenance of the Constitution, which thc honesty, nervo and firmness of a Jackson ex hibit to thc country and the world ? But, alas ! thoso aspirations are in vaiu, and the maduess of petty politicians rules thc hour. Registration.

Registration at the precincts marked thus * has been completed. Abundance Everywhere. The grain orops promise abundance all thc world over. The London " Mercantile Jour rial" surveys the various gr iin growing conn-' tries of Fu rope to ascertain thc prospects of immense supplies. No dofiu.onoy is appre hended in England. In Paris, thc stock of flour is the largest ever held, amounting, to 800,000 cwts. Tho last harvest in the South of Russia is most abundant ; the exports from that section arc expected to reaoh 2,000,000 quarters. The conclusion is, that scarcity is deemed out of tho question anywhere, and tho pros pect favors the opinion that tho grain crops of Europe will bo moro than usually abundant, and that prices will rule low. It is a bad wind that blows nobody good, and the exports of grain from thc United States this year must be limited, thus furnishing cheap provisions to a needy and destitute people. Tho crops of gruin shipped will not, as horoforo, furnish any basis in tho bakiuco of foreign indebted ness. This question will thus again bo re ferred to thc shipments of cotton, and suoh bonds as may bo saleable in Europe will be tho obiof rosouroo for the payment of debts abroad. Cotton bills will be hito coming in to market, but they are speoio when they do como, and oannot fail to exorcise a beneficial influence on prices. t&T A Gorman writer estimates that an aero of good buokwheat will yiojd 14 pounds of houoy daily." / Wo understand that General Sickles lately appointed W.

Walhalla, as everybody knows, is n German settlement, made by a company of immigrants from Charleston, in 18?0. The town has ox tended in size, giving ample room, without crowding the population. The successful op eration of the Blue Ridge Railroad will, no doubt, contribute largely to thc material pros- . purity of tho town. Thc coinmuni jntiou ia daily with thc Southern routes of travel. A number of practical miners arc probing for gold. Their operations are active, and some with whom wo have conversed arc iu high hopes of abundant success. That gold exists everywhere-on every hill, and iii tho sands of every branch and oreck-is abun dantly evident. The problem for tho miner is to lind the grand deposits. The soil hereabouts is stony, and not vory fertile, except in tho valleys, wbcro the fer tility is equal to that of bottom lands any where iu the world. Rut yet, these stony hills, hy a little care and manuring, can bo made fertile beyond the richest lands upon tho coast or anywhere else. We can illus trate with an example: Mr. Riemann,?, of the Walhalla Hotel, basa section of his veg etable gurdon that measures a quarter of ad acre. This piece of ground has produced this year ti hundred bushel* of Irish potatoes, ami there is now growing on it a luxurious crop of fail beans. This yield of potatoes, you will observe, is /our hundred bushels lo thc acre. This was accomplished at very slight expense, nothing but common stable manure being used. There is a growing trade herc iuJicrbs and roots for medicinal uses. Thc articles most bought herc and sent to tho New York mar ket arc ginseng, pink root, spikenard, sarsa parilla, queen s delight, Indian turuip, Co lumbo, slippery elm, golden rod, tho various kinds of snake root, and in all over thirty kinds of nativo growth. This trade com .lueuoed only last year, and already amounts to at least $1,00.0 u year. In a few years, it will become un important branch of business and trude.
