Ih alluding-to?the nominations made by Presi? dent Grant for foreign missions, the Chicago Re? publican (Radical), compliments them, after this fashion? "It is understood' that some of the persons fndS oated ar-i not famous tor personal integrity and dignity of character; that others are not complete masters of the spelling book and of the art of Eng? lish composition; that others besides art not over distinguished for demotion to the cause of loyalty; and that-, at least in one case, there are strong probabilities that the nominee is not even s natu? ralised citizen." ? COKGEESSIOJTAL BECOHSTBUCTIOV. The legislation of Congress towards the recon? structed States, says the New York Express, is an intolerable despotism, and here it is in a nutshell: When Alabama and Arkansas defeated their bogus constitutions, they were declared adopted; when Georgia elected two United States Senators, their admission was denied; when Louisiana elected a Democratic delegation to Congress, not one of the number is admitted; when South Carolina presents a mixed delegation, the non-elected are taken nud the repiesentexives are left out. Virginia, Missis? sippi and Texas are to hare every State officer ejected by an act of Congress, which bases the right to hold State offices upon a pledged adhe? rence to Radical interests. And yet Chief Jostice Ohase, in behalf of the Supreme Court, declares all these States in the Union; and the Constitution says that ercry State shall be entitled to two Senators in Congress, and a regulated number of Representatives. While the Constitution is spit upon, the decencies of legislation are also trampled under loot, and promises are made to the ear ?vhich t.t every opportunity are broken to the hope. ? HOOFS EBTBABCE INTO COHOBES8. The reader will remember that iu our issue of the 8th instant, it was charged broadly and nne quivocs.lly that the "credentials" of Solomon L. Hook, upon wMch he was afterwards admitted to a seat, were no less than a fraud and base forgery. Wt kne w this to be strong language in describing the official conduct of the immaculate patriots now "running the machine" in the interests of the. Radical party; but we were confident then, and more than ever convinced now, that the "certifi? cate" issued to H?ge was ante-dated. Without entering into any further explanation of the rea? sons inducing this belief, we desire to record a singute.r coincidence respecting this opinion au re? gards the conduct of H?ge and his partner; in this disgraceful transaction, to uee a mild expres? sion. On the 8th inst., (the same day in which our editorial appeared,) the Hon. Mr. Kebb, of Iftd?Maa, made this identical charge upon H?ge, in presence of the latter, and within a few hours af? ter his inglorious entrance into Congress! In dis? cussing a contested election case from Louisiana, Mr. Keeb incidentally alluded to the case from this Congressional District, and in order that the reader may obtain the drift of his argument, we make a lengthy extract from this able speech, calling particular attention to the last paragraph. We copy from the Congressional Globe: ' Mr. Kehr. Mr. Speaker, it is not pleasant for me in. the discussion of a east like this tu be com? pelled in terms which may appear to be unkind to any member of the House to criticise the conduct of members of the House or of committees of the House; but when I am engaged in the discharge of a great public duty, in which every impulse of my nature and every conviction of my judgment con? cur to prompt me to do what I do, I can have no hesitation arising from mere feelings of delicacy. I must therefore beg leave futther to suggest to the House that the conduct of th > House in the deter? mination of cases of contested elcetions, and in the arbitrary and despotic power exercised by this Committee of Elections, has had no parallel iu the history of the country. It has had no example in my own observation as a member of this House. It appears to be the determination of the majority of the Committee of Elections to assume that their time as members of the House is of infinitely more value than the supreme right of the people of the country to ? fair, honest, and constitutional repre? sentation in Congress. Ik appears to be their de? termination to shun the greav; and necessary labor and painstaking deliberation;) demanded by clear duty and their positions upon that committee in connexion with cases of this kind, and to act upon the most hasty and immature examinations, limi? ted to hurried consideration of imperfect, if not ez parte, statements of facts and law, without suf? ficient discussion by the parties or their counsel. I enter my solemn protest agaii st this proceeding and against this mode of determining these election ca? ses. These are cases to be resolved by us judicially, or ought to be, but are not, and yet the House at? tempts to decide this one in two hours, an achieve? ment which no intelligent court of justice in the country could accomplish; njrean this House. In years past, and under better auspices, these ques? tions of privilege stood in the frout rank of ques? tions to be considered by the House, and their consideration was approached with more care, more particularity, more laborious investigation and ujrupulous anxiety to reach honorable, fair, and just results, than any others which came be? fore- Congress. But now they are brought in here under the lash of either party drill or the previous question, and rushed- through, right or wrong, without even telling the House who was elected by the people. It might have been inferred, from all that the gen? tleman from Pennsylvania [Mr. Cessna] said in presenting the case of H?ge against Reed to-day, iu such au extraordinary manner and spirit, that the former received a majority of the votes cast in the third congressional district of South Carolina, when in truth he knew that Mr. Reed, the Con? servative candidate, was elected by an honest and lair majority of 3,000 votes. Mr. .Crooks. Does the gentleman mean the House to understand that the- gentleman who was thrown out this morning hud a majority of 3,000 over the gentleman who was admitted '.' Mr. Kerb. I do mean to say that, and more. I mean to say that the gentleman who was thus expelled had the only legal papers, the on iy legal? ly executed evidences of election to that sent. And I further assert that ?very evidence of title to ? seat here that was either furnished to the com? mittee or that existed anywhere in favor of the gentleman who was sworn iu to-fay was itself a fraud both upon the law and against Mr. Reed, and had not a single particle of legal validity. It was gotten up by a set of partisan officers who have disgracefully stultified themselves on the reoord, and have gone through the country as a pock of corrupt and revolutionary conspirators to. defeat the high purposes of representative government, and promote only the unmanly and. dishonorable efforts of minority candidates to. feist themselves by fraud upon au oppressed and suffering constit? uency. It is in that way that he wa9 brought in> here, and f wish him God speed in his repentance for this, outrage to whioh he is. a party and in- any efforts he may-make, by humane and hononble ser? vice towarda them to atone, for it. J NDETHKBir ESTIMATE OF SOUTHZBH CEAB ACTES. VUKB-BS TWO-. W* have- endeavored to show that, white tha Southem people have no love for the office-seekinj; horde sent down frota the North, they are equally disgjasted whb the professions etf loyalty fro? tb r lips of men wan were once foremost in advocating rebellion*, so-called. This distrust of both classes is perfectly natural, and ought not to be a matter of surprise with the Northern people, especially if they would think for a moment and for the time consider themselves in like condition. We knoir that the conclusion would be favorable to the South. Now, let us examine the question more directly, whether or not there is any desire for Northern or European immigration among our people! Eve? ry 8oothern State, we believe, has made arrange? ment* of some sort te encourage immigration. So? cieties* bare been formed, money contributed, and agents appointed. These efforts have been pro? ductive of little good, not from any want of sinceri? ty in the professions of the people engaged in making them, but in consequence of t he uncertain political Btatus of these States. The work of re? construction has been going on, in some form or other, for the hot four years; thecowntry was kept in tumnh all the while; fresh enactments struck down the barriers of society; and ander the guise of progress, the ruling faction has managed to keep alive the flames tf discord and passion. And during these years of anxiety and trouble, cine tentht of the Southern people were elosely en? gaged in repairing their broken fortunes or seek? ing to gain an honest livelihood, caring nothing for party politics, and hoping that the future of our section would brighten with the prospect of returning prosperity. Tbey felt and appreciated that the ruling powers were inimical to their in? terests, and there could be no other conclusion than that prejudice and embittered feelings would seiie hold of a people knowing that they were op? pressed for part j ends. Their late enemies were repaeseflted in their midst, for the most part, by the instruments and willing tools of this oppres? sion. Is it- any wonder that the doors of the peo? ple remained closed against their oppressors ? It was certainly aot expected that they wonld rash, with open arms, to welcome the means of their torture. In some instances, hot blood was en? kindled, and here and there difficulties of a serious sprang np; but these were isolated cases, and there never has been a particle of common sense In charging these disturbances upon the masses. From the day of Lee's surrender down to the present irr ting, there has been an interchange of sentiment betwixt the two sections. Old friend? ships and alliances hare been renewed. In a so? cial or business way, we have never yet heard a Southern man or woman refuse te bring about these renewals, simply on the ground that their correspondents were extremists in politics,?un? less these extreme views were thrust before them in an offensive light, which has been too often the case. Neu' acquaintances and friends have been made, and there is scarcely an instance where it has not been productive of good on the one side or the other. There has not been freedom from re? straint in the manner of the Southern people, be? cause it was sadly apparent that the North failed to recognise ns as honorable and upright men, who were willing te sacrifice everything before princi? ple, and determined to maintain self-respect at all hazards. It was not our province to explain, but to suffer. Hence the misconception in the North? ern mind, and hence the necessity at this lapse of titnft to correct the errors into which they have fallen. -o kems-emtosial and otherwise. ?

The wheat prospect is exceedingly good, bo far as we can learn. Farmers complain of being be? hind with their cotton and corn. THE COTTON TRADE AND SOUTHERN PROS? PECTS. Under this heading, the New York Shipping and Commereiai. List has an article demonstrating the truth of the proposition that the Southern people con maintain an independent position and preserve the balance of power by judicious eonduct in the arrangement of their crops. It is perhaps too late to change the programe 3* for as planting cotton and corn are concerned, but we desire to convince our readers thoroughly of the folly and stupidity of planting cotton exclusively. The article in question merely states facts as they exist, so far as the writer's knowledge extends, and we hope that its predictions will be verified by the results of a large provision crop and an improved method of agriculture. We make the following extracts: The high prices of cotton during the past six months have stimulated the planting interest South, and no doubt as large a breadth of land will be seeded as can be afforded under the necesi ty of an increased devotion to food crops. In view of the many difficulties which surround cot? ton culture, the leading Southern journals are giv? ing the farmers and planters the Tery practical advice not to place all their trust in the great sta? ple. There is an abundance of land in the South to raise an abundance of food for home consump? tion, and cotton enough to supply the whole world, but unfortunately, there is au inadequate supply of the right kind of labor. Still, competent Southern authorities are of opinion that, with an ordinarily favorable season, the next crop will not unlikely .reach 8,000,000 bales, and may go to 3,250,000 bales. Southern opinion with regard to free labor, too, has been very sensibly modified of late. Thus, Mr. Henry A. Wise, of Virginia, lately re? marked that the South has been more than recom? pensed for all the trials, suffering and losses inci? dent to the war, by the overthrow of slavery, and substantially the same sentiment is reiterated by some of the prominent Southern journals. To the nation at large, the resuscitation of the old indus? tries of the South and the inauguiation of new ones is of the highest importance, and the quicker they become vita'ized and quickened, the sooner will national, financial and commercial prosperity be reached. Enabled to commence the new year with handsome results of the product of last year's business, the South may well in 1869 grow crops and raise the necessaries of life in such abundance as to plaee it in independent pecuniary circum? stances. The idea has taken firm hold of the planters that under the new condition of things, a ?mailer area of land better cultivated must be the order of the day. Again, it may fairly be assum? ed that the freedmen, having a little recovered from the exaggerated ideas naturally entertained upon their emancipation, will work more steadily than heretofore, while the planters will have learned that fair wages are, in the end, more profitable than the cost of labor under the old regime. While the eotion crop will be tne great produot of the South, there will be increased manufactories erected, and with them wilt spring up innumer? able towns and villages, bringing in their train, without doubt, a higher state of prosperity inevi? tably than has ever hitherto been reached. The New York Express, on the other band, argues in favor of an increased attention to the cotton crop, and forcibly urges the value and im? portance of ihe great Southern staples. This jour? nal looks upon the negro race as doomed, and that there must be a substitute for negro labor. While omitting its argument on this latter point, as a matter of consolation to those planters now "deep in the mire" of cotton, we copy the following : Just now, the people are wisely discussing wfisS proportion of their land and labor should be given to cotton, sugar, and tobacco, and what to corn, rye, wheat and oats. Cotton is as .natural a pro duet of the South as wheat is of the West, and un? questionably pays much better. So of tobacco and sugar. No crops raised, acre for acre, can compete in value with these three. If all parts of the country acted wislcy, and in a spirit of mutual, good will, the West would supply the South with breadstuff's and pork, and the Eatit furnish the South with manufactured goods, and with most of the land and sea carriage for taking (be three great productions of the South to the seaboard, and to : the old world. Of course, it is not wise to aban | don at once or entirely the planting of corn, and > plenty of it nt the South, but the greatest possible attention should be given to those three vast re? sources of wealth?Cotton, (last year yielding $200,000,000,) Sugar, the product of which becomes of more importance than ever in t he present contri? tion of Cuba, and Tobacco, always a crop of im? mense value. It is because the Sooth is adapted to these crops, and particularly because it has the best cotton lands in the world, that they should have superior care over all other cultivation. All else is of secondary importance so long as ft is probable that food can be raised cbeaperelsewhere. Let the South, then, never abandon its greatest source of wealth but at once prepare its lands by improved cultivation to yield more than ever be? fore. This must be done, not by exhausting lands, but by studying their capacity, and, as it were, feeding the soil. The final exit of the negro, and the present uncertainty of bis labor make this now absolutely necessary. ? The fifteenth amendment to the Oosstitntion of ths United States has been adopted by twenty one States. Five more, it is believed, will ratify the amendment during the present year; and Vir? ginia, Mississippi and Texas, under the act just passed by Congress, must ratify before they can be readmitted to the Union. ? Try! Chicago Tribune?always a "friend to the negro race," is becoming weary in its work. It now says : "Nobody we presume will suspect us of now being sound on 'the main question,' and, there? fore, we may frankly say that we think the negro question has got to that stage which all questions in ethical and religious progresn most generally reach?the stage of oant. Let mi have done with it, snd give the negro a chance to help himself." - TRIBUTE OF RESPECT. Pexdleton Lodge, No. 34, A.-. F.\ M.\, April 24, 1869.

DEPARTED THIS LIFE, on the 4th of Februa? ry, 1869, st her residence in this County, Mrs. Margaret Major, after a severe illness of ten days, from a paralytic stroke. She was the daughter of Kennon Breazeale, deceased, and was born in Anderson County, Nov. 14th, 1793, and was married to James Major, Esq., deceased, in her early maidenhood, and became the mother of a numerous offspring, many of whom are left be? hind to mourn the loss of a good, kind, and affec? tionate mother. Many years ago, in the provi? dential dealings of her Heavenly Father, sb? was called upon to carry the remains of her beloved, devoted and Christian husband, the happy partner of her best and sunniest days, to their last resting place, beside which hers now repose. And though the loss was great and the affliction severe, yet she bore it with pious and Christian submission, and became a widow indeed. She was mild, gentle and meek, always adorning her widowhood, which ceased at her death, with many Christian graces. She was naturally a woman of great energy, perse? verance and activity. She studied carefully and prayerfully the duties of wife and mother, and al? ways being blessed with remarkably good health, she was enabled to discharge those duties which spread ont before the wife and mother. In Sep? tember, 1831, ehe embraced the Christian's faith, and on the 24th day of the same month united with the Neal's Creek Baptist Church, and was immersed into its fellowship by the Rev. Wm. Mc Gcc, and from that time till the day of her death she continued steadfast in the Apostles' doctrine, proved herself to be a faithful and ornamental member of the church. At all times ske gave strong and satisfactory evidence of a work of Di? vine Grace npon her heart. We believe we can truly say, that while she lived she lived onto the Lord? when she died she died nuto the Lord, be? cause she was the Lord's throngh Jesus Christ her Saviour. Ready and willing was she to make sac? rifices for Him who lored her and gave His be? loved Son to redeem her. Observe the fact that jast one half of her long and eventful life was spent in the service of her Heavenly Master, and is it not reasonable to hope that the talent com? mitted to her care has been returned with usury, and that her pure and Christ-like Spirit has been admitted into the Paradise of her God, living now in the bright fields of glory beyond the skies. Weep not, therefore, ye bereft sons and daughters. Imitate that example which was set by your de? parted mother. Walk in that way in which her obedient foet walked. Let her God be your God, her Saviour be your Saviour, and then her eternal home will be your eternal home. Bex Pastor. New Advertisements. AUCTION SALE.
