Red Cso3s Mark.?When ire adopted tho caiih System, it was with the firm intention to adhere strictly to the requirements of that system, and al? low no paper to Be sent longer than the time paid f&rr This plan was rigidly pursued until within ?v short time past, and we have only deviated there? from When solicited by persons to wait for a few weeks until they sold cotton or other produce. Earing departed from the rule in a few instances, we are more than ever satisfied that there is only; one legitimate plan of receiving and continuing subscriptions. - Therefore, all interested will take notice that the red eroaa-mark signifies that the time paid for cither has or is about to expire. Those persons who-have asked indulgence for a brief : period are likewise notified that the red cross-mark will be made upon their papers until the Tat of February, and unless they renew their subscrip? tions by that time, we shall strike off their names, without- exception. We are too poverty-stricken to send papers unless they are paid for in advance* and while wishing to retain the good will and pa? tronage of all our friends, we cannot afford to sac? rifice bo much in their behalf. We have to-pay cash for everything, and in order to keep even with the world, we must adhere to the cash system. -*-_ WHAT IT HEASrS: The revolutionary scheme proposed upon there assembling of Congress, and which was published fit these columns last week, has attracted the at? tention of the whole country, and will do much to? wards opening ride the eyes of the Northern peo? ple to. their own danger, in case the South is bound" hand and foot, as is proposed by tbe in famous reso lotions of BouTWEtt, of Mass. The Reconstruc? tion Committee, to whom these resolutions were referred, seem prepared to go a Btep beyond the original proposition, and at once make op (he issue. We can only become silent spectators of these growing, germs of revolution, and earnestly hope ? that the cause of liberty and justice may prove tri? umphant in the end. We know that the sequel is " to be determined by the Northern masses, and that the flame of civil liberty has not died away in that region altogether,, there is an abundant proof. The Baltimore Gazelle, in commenting upon the resolutions adopted on the first day of the session, makes the following clear and graphic statement as to their true intent and meaning: "We have not been in the least surprised at the introduction of these resolutions, nor do they offer, in our judgment, much room for comment. To discuss tbe Constitution and the Taws of this coun? try, in connection with such propositions, would be simply childish, and to treat the men who sup? ported their reference to the Committee on Recon? struction as honest but mistaken legislators, would be but to trifle with the honest good sense of the country. If the Reconstruction Committee recom? mends tl?-'expediency' of authorizing by 'law' the measure referred to it by the House, the meaning and effect of that recommendation will be that Con? gress shall declare that the Constitution of the United States is henceforth abrogated in tola?that the President is virtually deposed from office? that the Southern portion of what is known as this Re? public shall be subdivided into military districts? that the Conventions of negroes, stray Northerners and venal Southern men, who have been gotten to? gether by the Radical party by the most lawless and unscrupulous means, shall be at once clothed . with all political power in ten States?that ihe ex? isting governments in those States shall not be swept away?that the rights of the majority of the people of the North shall be deliberately and defi? antly set aside?that tbe great mass of the people of the South shall be placed under the domination, socially and politically, of the negroes and an in? significant minority of the baser portion of the white population?that this atrocious despotism shall be upheld by the sword, and that Congress Shall constitute itself supreme and arbitrary lord and master of the lives and the liberties of the peo? ple of the United States. Such is the clear intent and meaning of the propositions which the Recon? struction Committee now has under consideration; and if adopted, their adoption will be solely to the end that the revolutionists now in power may be able, by force and fraud, to perpetuate that power for five years yet to come. ?'What the President or the American people may be prepared to say or do should Congress dare, as it probably will, to carry out the revolu? tion it has so boldly inaugurated, it is not in our power to divine. What they ought to do and say we know right well. Too long already has this ? mad work of destruction been tolerated?too long has an unprincipled and malignant faction been! permitted to trample down everything whioh this people has been taught to hold as more than dear and almost sacred?too long has the country with shameful lethargy witnessed the growth of a usur? pation and despotism against which the subjects of the Kaiser would long since have revolted, which wonld have filled the streets of PariB with barri? cades, and have brought about the overthrow and dispersion of the Parliament of England. If Con. gress heeds not the warning given it last year, let the people now speak to it in tones more unmistaka? ble, and in language it dare not disobey. If Gen? eral Grant is the head of or a party to.this contem. plated subversion of the liberties and the Constitu? tion of his country, let him be sent to Walrussia by order of the President, the Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and let Mr. Johnson proclaim that civil liberty and constitutional government shall not wholly perish in this land. We cannot believe the army is yet prepared to become the obedient instrument of the reckless faction which aspires to rule this country as the Jacobin Convention once ruled France. We know the people are not prepared to make a will? ing renunciation of the inestimable rights and privileges which their fathers so resolutely won and of which they have ever professed themselves so proud. Let them, therefore, speak, and let the j President act, and all may yet be well." ?-o THE SO-CALLED COHTEHTIOLT. The assemblage of negroes and "scalawags," (to use a phrase of Georgia coinage,) in conformity to the orders of Gen. Canbt, took place yesterday in the city of Charleston, if nothing prevented. We have scon it stated that there are ^nly two con? servative members?Mr. Pekry, of Anderson, and Dr. Johnson, of Picken?. What a woful minority they are in, to be sure! As a sort of "specimen brick," we append the following paragraph from tie Columbus (Geo.) Sun, in reference to one of the delegates: One C. C. Bo wen, who was a loafer abont here for some time previous to the war, and who mar? ried an old bawd hero, and afterwards robbed and deserted her, is a delegate elect from the city of Charleston to tbe South Carolina Convention. He is a fair specimen of the scalawags elected to that j boiy: the balance axe regular corn field aiggers. ? RECORD OF PROMINENT RADICALS. Were it not that the power for evil wielded by Radical leaders in the South is immense, tho posi? tion they have assumed would be amusing, when contrasted with their record, individually and col? lectively, before the days of Reconstruction and Freedman's Bureaus. These unscrupulous char? acters are emulative of prominent lights in the Radical parly on the other side of the Potomac. Take, for instance, Beast Butler, once the deepest dyed Democrat in the wooden-nutmeg region, nnd whese laudations of the Hon. Jeff. Davis in the celebrated Charleston Convention were revolting to refined taste. This incomparable thief outvied Southern men in defending their cherished princi? ples, and forsooth he was the ready tool to serve their purpose, so long as the Democratic party re? mained in power. But when the war came, office and emoluments were no longer at the disposal of Southern politicans, and Butler plays the role of tyrant and despot at the earliest practicable mo? ment, that he might win favor from the ruling dy? nasty. His career is too well known and recog? nized the world over, to need recapitulation here. The Haynau of America stands convicted in the face of civilization, and wears a brand of infamy that cannot be effaced. Another prominent instance of a Federal General falsifying his record is that of John A. Logan, of Illinois. He was a Democrat of the straight est sect, but entered the Union servico early in the war. He was upbraided by party friends for en? listing against the South, and after open hostili? ties had progressed for months, we are assured that Gen. Logan made the declaration, that if the abolition of slavery became the chief object of the war, he would turn his sword Aror/A.' But long before hostilities ceased, and almost uninterrupted? ly since, there has been no louder-mouthed slan? derer of the Southern people than this Radical leader. His constant theu.c ombraces "rebels" and the horrors of slavery. ?Looan and Butler, par nobile fralrum V Their brilliant examples are widely copied, in more respects than one. and to? day we find the most mischievous Southern Radi? cals rejoicing in similar records. Bbownlow, who was once almost as blasphe? mous agninst abolitionists and Yankees as he is now against Democrats and rebels, has been re? warded for his treason by being elected Governor and U. S. Senator in the Radicalized and negroized State of Tennessee. Hunnicutt, an extreme Radical, n leader in the reconstruction convention, and chief fugleman of the negro party generally in the Old Dominion, was once so bitterly opposed to allowing negroes any liberties that, although he was editing a pro? fessedly religious paper in Virginia at the time, ho denounced the building of African churches. At the commencement of the war, he was an ultra se? cessionist, and actually devised a plan to seize Fortress Monroe before Virginia seceded. He is now looking to be rewarded for his loyalty by a seat in the United States Senate. Henderson, of Missouri, who was once so ex? treme in his Southern professions and pro-slavery views that, he advocated the selling of free negroes into slaTery, is now a raving Jacobin and advocate of negro equality. He is also rewarded for his renegadism by being made a United States Sena? tor, and leader of the Radical party in his own Slate, In ottr sister State, Georgia, the examples are so numerous that we can hardly name them. Per? haps we have a more intimate knowledge of their record than those of other Stales, but the facts are truly astonishing as to how many of the present Radical lender? across the Snvnnnah were once known as Southern patriots ! The most prominent is Joe Brown, who has gone over, "horse, foot and dragoon," to the'negro-worshippers. He is the self-same individual who seized forts and arsenals belonging to the United States, before Georgia withdrew from the Federal compact, if we. are not mistaken. He raised troops and supplies, and made more noise over his achievements than any other man within our knowlekge; and failing to secure high office in the Confederacy, was one of the bitterest enemies of the Davis' administration. At the clcee of the war, he was arrested, and after? wards released by President Johnson, ile now denounces the President, and unites whh the Radical horde in abuse of him. In ull probability, the Senatorship from Georgia, under negro supre? macy, may be allotted to this immaculate politician - Another case is Fostek Blobgett, of Augusta, a captain of "rebel" artillery in the early part of the war. When the feud arose between Congress and the President, this man scented the breeze strongly, and sought the organization of the Radical par^ in Georgia. He received the appointment of Post? master, and afterwards Mayor of Augusta by order of the military authorities. Ho has lately been in? dicted for perjury in taking the test oath, by a grand jury composed of men required to take the same oath. Wo have singled out these notable instances merely because of their prominence heretofore and now. There are doubtless men within the limits of our own State wbo could be branded with like apostacy. Indeed, we are aware that some of these would be leaders of the Radical party in South Carolina once entertained very different views of patriotism and love of country. But. they have been outstripped in the race for office by Northern adventurers or simon-pure Africans, and their in? fluence "grows small by degrees and beautifully le98." Whether this be from superior advantages in the art of trickery, or whether the negroes of South Carolina have been educated to believe that consistency is becoming to all alike? we arc not prepared to say. It is possible that the large pre? ponderance of negro voters (?) has inflated the minds of that race to such an extent that they arc determined to have a proportionate share of the rich spoils, and leave their white brethren out in the cold. Be this as it" may, we are gratified to know that there are tew instances of those hereto? fore, recognized as representative men having de? famed their record, "that thrift might follow fawn? ing." r -o "ARIEL." The reader will find a short and sensible article in regard to the pamphlet by ""Ariel," upon our outBide columns to-day. We are loth to believe that many of our people have been led astray by this ingenious sophistry, but like our cotcmporary from which the extract iu made, we think the subject has already been t'oo much dignified by discussion. Persons of less brains than humnn sympathy may ascribe undue importance to the astounding theory advanced by the author of "Ariel," but. reflection and calm thought will reject this "Bpawn of infi? delity." We'iSP content to leave the matter as it now stands, believing with a lenrncd divine that "the blasphemous ignorance of Patnk" is not more dangerous, and that only Divine truth can dispel all doubt from tho mind of the humble Christian. IRobbert.?We learn that a bold robbery was committed on the premises occupied by Mrs. Van diver, on Monday night last. The smoke-house was forcibly entered, and six middlings and one ham carried off'by tho marauders. We fear that this is the only beginning in this community, as nearly all of our exchanges are teeming with MHMtl of Binulor oaoursDooa. THE DEAD OF THE YEAS.

In tho Sonate, Mrs. Jessie Fremont's petition, for restoration of property in San Franoisco, taken by military authorities, was presented. Mr. Sum? ner presented a petition from the negroes of Ful? ton and Fuller Counties, Georgia, setting forth their miserable condition, and asking relief. Sum? ner introduced a rcsoliiiisn relative- to the Consti? tutional Amendment, which was referred to the Judiciary Committcc. Thc House devoted the day entirely to speeches. The House Committee on Reconstruction, this afternoon, agreed upon a bill, to bc reported on Monday, declaring that there was no civil govern? ments in the lately rebellious States, and that thc provisional governments shall not bc recognized as valid or legal, ciiher by thc cxecuiive or the judi Clary authority of thc United States. In order to the speed}- enforcement of ?hc several reconstruc? tion laws, tho General of thc army is authorized to remove all officers now empted, and appoint others for the performance of all acts required by those statutes; to tho end that the people of the said several States may spoedily organize civil gov? ernments, republican in form, and restored to their political power in the Union. The General of the nrmy is also empowered to remove all civil officers and appoint others in their place?. So much of thc Reconstruction Acts as authorize the President to dc'ail.thc military commander, or remove others is repealed. The bill declares il unlawful for ilic President to order any part of the army or nary to assist by force of arms, th* military of these pro? visional governments, to oppose or obstruct the authority of the United Slates. The bill further declares, thal this interference hy any person, with an intent to prevent by force the execution of the orders of the General of thc army, shall be held to bc a high misdemeanor, ami that the party guilty thereof, on conviction, shall be fined not exceeding 50,000, and imprisoned not exceeding two years. The bill repeals all parts of the Reconstruction Acts, inconsistent willa the above provisions. Ste? vens voted against the bill in committee, asserting that it was intended to elect Grant.
