the young MEN of TEE south.
The Richmond Dispatch has been looking around
to ascertain who will be eligible to office under the
ehanged condition of affairs, and is quite cheered
to find so many capable, persons -still left to take
charge of public matters. The disfranchisement
of former leaders and representative men imposes
the duties upon those not disqualified, and conse?
quently the young men of the present generation j
.must take upon themselves the burthen of office.?
Apart from representation in Congress, where the
iron-clad oath is a pre-requisite to admission now
noad hereafter, the .young mon of energy and ability
will be requited to manage the affairs of State and
municipal government. Tho sooner, therefore,
this fact is realized, the better for all concerned.

Crime in new yorx.
The New York; Tribune has a very sensible arti-!
clo upon the subject of "The Mystery of Marder,"
f b the coarse of which it furnishes some very start?
ling facts. Amongst others is the statement that I
In the city of New York there were, during the ,
yea? 1866,-no fewer than seventy-one homicides
and murders, without including numerous cases of j
death by drowning or .other means, where it was
Hot clear whether or not there had been foul play.
Only thirty-three persons were arrested for these
crimes, and the records of the courts show only
fifteen convictions (several of which were for of
?fences committed in a previous year,) with nine?
teen prisoners still to be tried. That is to say, of |
the perpetrators of clear and unmistakable homi?
cides in New York more than fifty percent, are
not arrested, and nearly eighty per cent, are not
punished.
We would siiggesfc to Congress that New York
might afford ample room for an investigating com?
mittee to inquire into the best mode of preventing
Crime. As that city now supports & standing
army of moTe than two thousand policemen, mili?
tary rule would prore ineffectual. nWe cannot ven -
ture a remedy, however, and lea-re the subject to
those enlightened patriots who aro shocked with
an occasional murder in the entire Southern States,

" ONCE X ORE TO THE BREECH ??
In a brief editorial last -week, we voluntarily as
sumed a position which has been misunderstood,
and we take the earliest opportunity of placing
oursclf recites in atria before the public. While ex?
pressing no desire to take the lead in this momen?
tous crisis in our history as a State, and would In?
finitely, prefer that the masses might guide the
helm in this extremity, nevertheless there arc
duties imposed by our position as a public journ?
alist from which we have never yet shrank for a
single moment. One of those duties?important
and elevated in its character, and -which must be
performed at all events, is the proper enlightenment
o/such as look to this paper for informal inn on the
political topics of the day. We have endeavored
to discharge this duty faithfully and impartially,
and shall continue to exercise -whatever intelligence
and ability we may profess to further the end pro?
posed. And in temporarily excluding from these
columns any advice to the people calculated to af?
fect their action on public questions, we did not
intend to surrender the inalienable right and pri?
vilege of entertaining a decided opinion on these
questions. But friends have misconstrued our
motives and declarations, and rather than bear the
semblance of moral cowardice in this or tiny other
extremity, we willingly resume the discussion of
themes calculated to affect the destiny of f.his
country now and hereafter, albeit the theme Itsslf
is distasteful and against our inclinations.
Therefore, it becomes our duty on this occoiiion
to afford others the benefit of Buch reflections and
thoughts as may occur to our mind upon the para?
mount question now before them. Their decision
is tailed for by the recent action of Congi-esa. The
inauguration cf military rulo will soon be npon
them, and whether or not they will actively, ener?
getically pnrBue the right, leaving the consequen?
ces to a higher power than any upon earth, remains
to be developed. It is unnecessary to declare that
we have strenuously opposed any sycophantic sur?
render of the rights guaranteed by the Federal
compact. That instrument is not now the law of
the land; the will of a fanatical Congress has su
perceded it; but the* day may yet come when its
provisions shall shino forth in all their pristine
purity and glory.
Believing thus, il would be rccrccant in the
highest degree to favor a policy looking to an aban?
donment of these cherished principles for the sake
of temporary citse or advantage. If the guarantees
and limitations imposed by tho Constitution arc
ever to affect the legislative branch of the govern?
ment again, then it is utter folly for a people who
have endured so much for principle to seize upon
an evil moment to succumb beneath the aggregated
weight of mere physical power. We can remain
quiet and obedient to authority even unlawfully
set over us. We can endure much more in the
cause of enlightened liberty. The madness of the
hour may demand concession, but firmness and
steady adherence to principle will ultimately tri?
umph.
But the practical issue has been made in this
State, looking towards an early convention of the
people to acci.'dc to tho provisions imposed by
the Sbxbmak bill. We are utterly opposed to the
movement, and shall briefly assign our reasons..
The present State Government is declared illegal
by this act, and it is in direct conflict with this
proposition for the executive, legislative or judicial
authority of the State to attempt An execution of
its powers. The Governor may be importuned to
call the Legislature, and that body likewise beset
to order an election for members of the convention.
But, under this bill, neither have the power thus
to act. Admitting, however," that the authority is
conferred, any such action forever destroys the le?
gal remedy to contest the constitutionality of the
measure. In our opinion, so far as the powers
delegated by'this bill are concerned, there is only
one person authorized to order the* convention.?
That individual is the Brigadier Qeneral who pre?
sides over tho newly constituted Military District.
When his mandate is issued, the people arc com?
pelled to obey, by mere force of the bayonet. ? No
alternative is left them, as a conquered people.?
But even then the right to test the measure in the
Supreme Court is not taken away from them, and
when the hour for calm reflection arrives, this peo?
ple will stand forth, unsullied in honor and unde?
nted in principle*
Theso views arc hastily thrown together, and
we propose to resume their consideration another
time. In the" meanwhile, we earnestly exhort the
people to patient endurance and manly firmness.
The insolent tcims proposed by our would-be mas?
ters inflict no degradation upon the South, and to?
day her crest is high above the machinations of
these valiant conquerors. History will repeat her
story and perpetuate her virtues, unless she is led
astray by false lights and sinks beneath the waves
of self-imposed infamy. The Norman conquest of
the Saxons afford an example at this time. The
conqueror dictated terms, but it is not recorded
that the brave Saxons yielded to or accepted those
terms. That gallant people were saved from such re?
proach, and history records the unjust exactions and
oppression of their Norman masters. In the lan?
guage cf ft cotcmpofary, let the people of the South
t profit by this heroic example! Let them submit
patiently, manfully, heroically, to the terms im?
posed upon them 1 Resistance would be worse
than folly; it would be madness, not excelled by
by that feeling which actuates the dominant party
in their unholy purpose of crushing the South be?
neath the iron heol of oppression.

Editorial Pennings and Clippings.
Who are Disqualified f
This question is frequently asked, in connection
with the operations of the Military Bill. The fol?
lowing statement, from the pen of an eminent ju?
rist of Georgia, seems to i.fford a more explicit
answer than' anything which has come under our
observation, and We offer it for the consideration of
our subscribers. The following persons arc em?
braced in the class excluded by the Constitutional
Amendment from holding office, and from the
ballot box by the late bill :
1st. All persons who, before the war, were mcm
bors of Congress, 0r officers of the United States,
and afterwards engaged in the rebellion.
2d. AH persons who, prior to the war, were ex?
ecutive, legislative or judicial officers of the State,
and took the like oath, and engaged in the rebel?
lion.
This embraces Governors, members of tho Leg?
islature, and judicial officers, from a judge of the
Supremo Court dowu to a justice of the peace,
who, at any time, held the office and t jok the
oath and afterwards engaged in the rebellion.
The writer then gives five additional paragraphs
as to who are not excluded: .
1st. No one is excluded because Tic held an office
under the Confederate States from President down,
if ho docs not fall within one of the excluded clas?
ses abovu specified. Tho simple- fmct that he was
a Confederate Senator or a Confederate General, or
that he took an oath to support the Constitution of
the Confederate States, iloc3 not exclude him.
2d. No State or county officer is excluded on ac?
count of his having held the oflice and taken the
! oath and engaged iu the rebellion, if he were not,
an executive, legislative or judicial officer; there?
fore, neither a lawyer, sheriff, clerk, tax collector,
receiver, county treasurer, coronor, surveyor, con?
stable or road coramissmner is excluded.
3d. As no man under twenty-one years of age,
when the war began, held any 6uch office as dis?
qualified, and none of them took the oath to sup?
port the Constitution of the United State's during
the war, and as the war commenced nearly six
ycar? ago, no man in Georgia under twenty-seven
years of age can be excluded.
4(h. Militia officers arc not excluded.
6th. The wholn mass of our people who fall
within hpne of tiie excluded classes above men?
tioned, are free from the disqualification, and may
vote and hold any office in the State Without regard
to the part they took in the war.
Drtef and Bright Items.
Now is the time, says tho Richmond Times, for
the South to show the greatness of her soul, and
to make her persecutors desperate in the discove?
ry that bayonets and brute force have no terrors
for her; tiut the sublimity of her courage and
fortitude can never be reichet, by'those who have
neither the wisdom nor statesmanship to "recon?
struct," but idly think that all the Gordian knots
of politics can be cut by the sword of a Brigadier.
The Richmond .Enquirer closes an editorial as
follows: "We entreat the men of the North to
take counsel of their own knowledge of human na?
ture?to consult their interests?to remember their
oaths and engagements?in their dealings with the
South. If they will not admt^ us to our privileges
at Washington, at least leave ?6 at peace in our
local affairs. Let the Samson whom they have
captured, and Whose eyes they have put out, be
useful in the mill, instead of making of him an
occasion of general calamity."
The Richmond Examiner says: "The course of
current events admonishes us that we need look
for effectual sympathy nowhere but to our neigh?
bors. In the fearful future towards which our en
I emies Impel us, there is no cloud so black that its
gloom may. not be enhanced by fraternal jeal?
ousies, prejudices and strife. Let us, in the de?
velopment of our material resources, as in the de
I velopment of our political fate, stand or fall to?
gether."
By economy, frugality and ihdu3try, we may re?
gain, or repair our shattered fortunes. Let no
man be ashamed of his poverty?honest, virtuous
{'poverty, is no disgrace. The ftisddm that we
have learned by experience, will become our talis
I man in the future, and the final adjustment may
I bring repose and quiet to the country. Let us I

THE GENERAL BANKRUPT LAW;
I The following is an abstract of the General Bank
I rupt Law passed by the Thirty-ninth Congress, and
I signed by the President; It receives a terrible in
I tcrcst from the fact that, through its provisions for
I "involuntary bankruptcy," it can be made an in
j strumeut of oppression to the Southern people little
j less rigorous than a universal confiscation act:
The jurisdiction in bankruptcy cases is given by
the act fo the several District Courts of the United
I Slates, with the United Statn.s Circuit Courts act
I ing iu a supervisory capacity as Courts of Equity,
j The Judges of the District Courts will be assisted
j in the performance of the duties imposed upon
j them by.Rcgisters-in bankruptcy, who are required
j to be counselors of ^ose courts, or of some of me
Courts of Record of their several States. The
power of the Registers is limited, and provision is
J made for reference of disputed questions to' the
J District Cou::t Judges, nnd for appeals from the
District Courts to the Circuit Cdurts, and from the
hitter, in cases where the latter in dispute shall ex?
ceed $2,000, \o the Supreme Court of the United
I States.
There are two kinds of baftlcr?ptcy contemplated
by the act; voluntary alid involuntary. In the
former any person residing within the jurisdiction
j of the United States, owing over three hundred
dollars, and finding himself insolvent, may apply
by petition to the judge of the district in which he
j has resided for tho six months preceding the date
I of the petition, or for the lougest period during
I such six months, and shall thereupon be declared
j a bankrupt. Tho creditors; having been properly
j notified by the oourt, meet together and appoint
I one or more assignees of the estate of the debtor;
I the choice to be made by the greater part in value
J and in number of the creditors who have proved
j their debts, or in case of failure to agree, then by
j the District Judge, or where there arc rto opposing
{ creditors, by tho Register. Tho wholo affairs of
I bankrupt pass into the hands of the assignees, who
I have full powers granted them necessary for' the
collection of all debts and the final adjustment and
I closing up of the estate. Stringent regulations are
I made for the proper deposit and safe keeping of all
moneys received from the' estate ; and where delay
[ is likely to oecur from litigation in the final distri
[ butiori of the assets the court is cmpowcicd to di
frect their temporary investment. The bankrupt
is liable at all times to be called up for examina?
tion on oath upon all matters relating to the dis
po^ 9r condition of hid property or to his busi?
ness transactions, and, for good cause shown, his
wife may in like matfner be compelled to attend as
a witness in the case.
In the distribution of the bankrupt's c'fffatc divi?
dends arc1 to bo paid as agreed upon by a ma?
jority in value of the creditors, from time to timc>"
at three months intervals, but the following claims
are first to be paid in full:?First, tho fees, costs,
and all expenses under the Bankrupt act; second,
a'.r debts, taxes and assessments due to the United
States; third, all State debts, taxes and assess?
ments; fourth, wages due to any operative, clerk
or house servant to an amount not cxcccdiug fifty
dollars for labor performed within six months pre?
ceding tho bankruptcy; fifth, nil debts due to any
persons who arc or may be entitled to preference'
by the laws of the United States. The voluntary
bankrupt is entitled to' his discharge provided no
fraud is proved against him, at any time from
^jixty days to one year after adjudication pf bank?
ruptcy ; but the proof or discovery of any fraud or
concealment deprives him of the right (o discharge.
No person who has once received his discharge is
j to be entitled ngain to become a voluntary bank-^
rupt, unless his estate is sufficient to pay seveuty
per cent, of bis debts, or unless threc-fourlbs of his
creditors assent in writing to Iiis bankruptcy.-'
Preferences and fraudulent conveyances are de
'clarcd Toid by the net, and suitable provisions are
made for the voluntary bankruptcy of partnerships
and corporations.
The exemptions under the law are as follows
The necessary household and kitchen furniture,
and such other articles and necessaries of such
baukrupt as tbc assignee shall desiguate and sot
apart, having reference in the amount to the fami?
ly, condition ifcd circumstances of the bankrupt,
but altogether not exceed in value, in any case, the
sum of $000'; and also the wearing, apparel of such
bankrupt, and than of Iiis wife and children, and
tho uniform, arms and equipments of any person
Who is or has been a soldier in the militia or iu the
service of the United States ; and such other prop?
erty as now is or h?reafter shall be exempted from
attachment or seizure or levy on execution by the
lawB of the United States, and such other property,
not included in the foregoing exceptions, as is ex?
empted from levy and sale upon execution or other
process or order of court, by the laws of the State
in which the bankrupt has his domicile at the time
of the commencement of the proceedings in bank?
ruptcy to an amount not exceeding that allowed by
such State exemption lawsin force in the year 18(14.
Acts of involuntary bankruptcy under the law
are classified as follows: Departure or absence
from the State where debts are owed, with intunt
to defraud the creditors; concealment to avoid
Service of process for the recovery of debt; con
cealmont of property to avow seizure on legal pro?
cess ; assignments designed to delay, defraud or
hinder creditors; arrest and detention for seven
days, under execution for a debt exceeding one
hundred dollars; actual imprisonment for seven
days ia a civil action founded on contract for one
hundred dollars; assignment, gift, confession of
"udgmenti or any other act by which preference is
given to any creditor, endorser or surety; dishon?
oring commercial paper, or suspending ^ind not
resuming payment for fourteen days. The petition
for an adjudication of bankruptcy in such cases
may come from one or more creditors whose debts
reach two hundred and fifty dollars ; but the peti?
tion must be brought within six months after the
act of bankruptcy has been committed. In invol?
untarily bankruptcy the proceedings arc made
more stringent than in. the other description of
cases. The penalty for any fraud or concealment,
direct or indirect, under the act, is imprisonment,
with or withoul hard labor, for a term not exceed?
ing three years.
There are other details in the act, relalirlg to the
duties Of the oficers appointed1 aiid authorized
Under the law, the amount of fees, &c, Which are
ihtercsting only ia a matter of detail.

South Carolina Lurcau of Immigration,
CHARLESTON, Feb. 21, 18(57.
THE uh'dersighcd having been appointed Commis?
sioner, has been instructed by Iiis Excellency,
Governor Orr, to organize the Bureau at the earli?
est possible moment. In a few days agents will be
appointed by the Governor to proceed to Europe,
whose duty it will be to induce immigration to our
State, to disscminaff such information as may be
furnished them of lands for sale or* lease, and to
engage such laborers, mechanics, servants and oth?
er hc*lp as may be desired by the inhabitants of
the State. An agent for the same object will, per?
haps, be sent to New York. It would be desirable
that our people furnish this Bureau, without delay,
with information iiow they desire to be served, in?
dicating the kind of help they require and the
wages which they are willing to pay, or a descrip?
tion of the lands they have for sale or lca.se, and
their terms and conditions. If combinations can
bet formed in! the several Districts' of the Sta te for
joint action, it would, perhaps, facilitate" mutual
operations, and where arrangements can be made
to advance part of the passage money erf the la?
boring immigrants by accepted orders to that effect
on any of the factors of merchants of Charleston,
t would no doubt greatly advance the result. If
the people that favor this measure would meet
at their respective Court Houses to consult, and
indicate their wants, this Bureau would take great
pleastrre in serving their interest to the b'e?t of its
ability. A pamphlet will be printed in" Several '
European languages for distribution, describing
the capacities and advantages of our soil, climate,
productions, &Cj, in which many particulars, that J
arc promptly furnished, may be advertised. The i
rocrin's at the disposal of this Bureau being strict?
ly limited, the kind assistance of the conductors of
our public journals is respectfully requested.
