How rco DI:TEOT COUNTERFEITS.-From recent state
mente, it would appear that counterfeiting is thriving all
through the country. As a matter of general interest,
we subjoin a list of tho spurious shlnplastera, with a de
scription of the good and bad:
Greenback!,- Fives, a new issue, and very well done.
The only prominent delect ia heavier shading around
the wonls "VJnitod States" in the title. The counter
feit is ?Lout ono-elghtb of an -oh shorter than the
genuine.
Counterfeit Small Notes.-Fifty-cant notes, new issue.
On the top of the bill the ?words, "Furnished only by
the As* I s tau*}'Treasurer and Designated Depositaries of
the United States." Observe the two words "of the."
On the fconuine thero is a little space between tbem: not
: so on the imitation.
Othtr Counterfeit flfty-cont notes; the engraving is
good, but tho gilt irame around the bead is very bad.
The paper has, however, the appearance of common
Rrlnt paper, and is very whitish. The whole of it is a
ttle smaller than tbo genuine. Six barrels on right
end of Washington are very lndlstlnot.
Twenty five cent notes, new issue, very dark, poorly
?engraved.
Other t'?onty-flvo cent notes poorly engraved, on poor
paper, and the gilt frame around tho head don't ahow
any gilt.
Ten cent notos, very coarsely done, and the green ink
wery pale.

Initiatory Leeture on Commercial Law,
Delivered by Arthur P. Lining, Ksq., at
?'the Charleston Commercial College."
Seldom has it boen our good fortune to hear a dry
aubjoot invested with BO much attractive interest,
uniting the charm of ornate style with valnablo infor
mation, as w?s skilfully accomplished by A. P. LININO,
Esq., in his loctnro before tho Commercial College on
Monday evening last It is tho best of evidence that
Mr. LININO'B acceptance of the Professorship offered
bim will redonnd to the advantage of the students, the
College, and himself, and that the College is to be a
benefit and an ornament to the city of Oharloaton.
Mr. LINING commenced by congratulating the gontlo
mon of tho "Commercial College" on the advantages
conferred upon thom as students of an institution
which afforded them an oppoitunity of acquiring a bum.
ness experlonoe without tho usual delay of years. Ho
said that tho duty which had been assigned bim, In the
execution or oondoot ot thia happily conceived project,
embraced a series of lectures on commercial law. In
the course of which be should ondeavor to convey to
their minda such Information of the elementary prlnol
clploB of the law, aa would bo found advantageous to
ono embarking in mercantile lifo. He said that it mnat
not be supposed that ho presumed to undertake to de
liver a learnod treatise or dissertation on the law, even
did ho possess tho wisdom or ability nooeasary to enable
him to carry out successfully so grave and arduous an
undertaking.
Ho pointed out the necessity of au acquaintance with
tbs laws of a country in which liberality of public een
tlmont was a uUtinguIohtng characteristic, and In whloh
no position in the gift of the people waa beyond the
roach of bim who worked with those grand elements of
success-knowledge and perseverance
The lecturor proceeded to demonstrate that It was im
possible for any one to acquire, much less retain, the
position of a useful and influential, not to aay distin
guished member of society, without a competent knowl
edge of the principles of that great cornsr-stone and
substratum of all civil and political liberty-the law of
the land.
He oommonted at length upon the folly of the asser
tion frequently made, to the effect that, "there Is no
justice in law:" argued that it was a vulgar prejudice en
tertained only by those who, not poaaessed of compre
hensive minds, imagine themsslves always in the right,
and vituperate the law, if, when wrong. Its penaltlea aro
imposed upon them. Ho argued that man lu a state of
natural or savage liberty was but the mere chrysalis of
that being intended by the Creator of tho Universe
when he fashioned him after His Image; and, like tho
butterfly, which required time and warmth to trans
form it from a hideous, misshapen thing, into the
beautiful lnsoot, so did man require the correctivo in
fluences of a mild and Judicious legislation to trans
form him from the lawlesa savage into the enlightened
and refined member of aoolety.
Tho lecturor next commented upon the importance of
those Indestructible principios of civil and political lib
orty which had been Incorporated Into the laws of this
country, from Magna Charts-which had Justly been
termed "the bulwark of the liberties of England;" and
added, that if from the past four rears of war, of suffer
ing, and of bloodshed-If from the inception, to the
close of the mighty revolution, whose dying throes had
shaken to ita baso the great Continent upon which it
had its birth-those principios of constltuttonaTfilborty
had been obscured by the war-cloud Whlcb sim lowerea
over tho political horison-let us not, nevertheless,
despair; let na not basely acknowledge to ourselves
that we are the "degenerate sons of no ole aires;" but
arouse ourselves to the oxigen?los of our position, lu
the earnest hope and confident belief that the great
principles of MagnaCbarta will yet flash brightly through
that cloud whloh obscuros them, and assert themselves
In tones of thunder which shall reverberate from the
lakes of Canada to the silver waters of the Gulf.
The lecturer oonoluded by announcing that the sub -
j ect of the next lecture would be the Law of Contracts,
the various subdivisions ot whloh wonld be treated In
their proper order.

Article III. Is a retry forcible rctume of the whole ar
gument lu favor of slavery, or rather to prove the ab*
aurdlty of attempting to do away with ethnological dis
tinctions. Every line of this argument Is perfectly fa
miliar to our readers, and has been repeatedly urged,
bat urged In vain. The writer closes the article with the
following paragraph:
One thing la olear, alavery la gone-gone at one groat
blow, gone forever, not i o be revived, either In form or
lu spirit, banished from the minds of all Eogiish-speak
lng people-and restricted to Bpaln and Brazil, arnot g
Christian nations, where it exists with diminished vital
ity, and la aentenced, there can be no reasonable doubt,
to be destroyed, when the hour lo ripe for the consum
mation. But If the lact of the death of alavery in -tho
South be clear, It is equally olear, In view of the neces
sities both of the Southern and the NortDera people,
and of the Interests of the whole civilized world, that
the froe negro muat conform himself to the great and
paramount law of civilization. .Like the white man, he
must work or die. He cannot be allowed to lounge
about great cities, doing nothing but beg. He cannot
be permitted to posaots Southern lands, and suffer them
to go out of profitable culttvstlon. He cannot bo suf
fered to breed op a race of paupers to prey on the In
dustry of better men. He cannot bo tolerated to form
hotbeds of filth snd fever in the great cities, nor to be
como either a moral or a phyalcal bunton upon the com
munity. Those who know moat of the negro, who am
derstand his onaractor best, and who have the groatoat
liking for him, aa tho only agricultural laborer who oan
thrive amid the malaria of tho rice-fields, or the heats
of tho cotton plantations, declaro that his wanta are ao
few that be will not work aystematlcally for wages, bnt
that he will cultivate a llttlo paton for bare subsistence,
squatting upon other men's lands. It ia not probable
that the Southern landowners a lil consent to be thus
overran and diop saesssd by a proliflo race of black
paupers, or that if the negroes, not being purchasers of
land, shaU take forcible possession of it, a new war be
tween white and black In the South will not be the re.
ault. If a system of apprenticeship to labor, or soma
modified foi-m of serfdom, suoh aa that recommended
by General Banka for Louisiana, be not established,
there will only be two modes toft to settle the stupan
doona dimoulty. The tire tis that whloh has been adopted
witta regard to the aborigines o? America-extermina
Mon, gradual, bat sar?. Tho second lithe establishment
of a poor law that shall act upon the fundamental and
essential axiom, that no strone able-bodlod man ia onti
tlod to livo upon the charity of the cammunlty, that ho
who would oat must work, that labor is a sacred duty;
and that any man, whatever hla race or color, nnablo or
unwilling to support himself except by beggary and va
grancy, or by breach of tho eighth commandment, shall
bo hold to labor, whether hu like It or not; and that if
the nature of the negro is such that may thousands, or
hundreds of thousands, of them be found throughout
the South la this condition, unable to appreciate or turn
to account tho freedom too suddenly thrown upon
them, such thousands, or hundreds of thousands, or
millions, whatever their numbor may bo, shall lu their
Bovoral parishes and township?, and by the strong arm
of the recognized authorities-civil, if tho rofractory
paupers bo row ; military, If they aro mauy-bo organ
ized Into labor companios. and compolled to earn tholr
subsistence. The question under auy aspect is ono that
threatens to try men's aoula before it receives a Anal
and satisfactory solution. In tho moanwhllo tho indi
cations are but too palpable, that the sudden abolition
of Blavery la no boon to the alave but a disruption of
old ties, fraught with evil oonBequencea to all concerned
and moat of all to the unhappy negroes.

Bo corroborates, in ovory respect, the report of Messrs
Meriwether and Bhaw, of Edgefleld, a portion of which
was published in our last issue, His gonoral opinion of
the advantages offered by the soil, cb- ate and produc
tions of Brasil is highly encouraging to those contciu
i lating emigration. The soil is exceedingly fertile, the
climate healthy, and productions varied and valuablo.

lands of the best quality can be purchased fur twonty
two cents per acre, on a credit of five years, without in

An industrious emigrant can comfortably support
himself by bis own labor during the first year and lay
up tomethla g handsoaae. The method of agriculture
in Brazil is of an exoeedlngly rade and primitive charac
ter. The crops of corn, cotton, coffee, sugar, ko, are
planted and worked by the boo alone. The averio
yield of corn is from thirty to fifty bushels and ono thou
sand to twelve hundred pounds of seed cotton to the
acre. Tropical fruits of every description grow spon
taneously and in great abundance. The better classes
of society are intelligent, courteous and rofinod,
and Dr. Gaston mot everywhere the utmost kind
ness and hospitality. The authorities are anxious
to secure a large immigration and every facility will be
afforded strangers to examine the country and n-ko
settlements. No restribtions are imposed on religion or
education. Taxes are Uwht, and the policy of the Gov

The Dumas Junior.
From the Con tin en tal correspondence of the American
Literary Gazette we clip the following:
Alor. Damas, Jr., bas written a novel of the school
of Fanny and Mme. Bovary. It is now in tho printer's
hands. The editor of one of our newspapers wished to
purchase the privilege of publishing It in his feuilleton,
and mado the author auch magnificent offers that he
half consented to allow it to appear in thia form, al
though he entertains an aversion, gi ounded in roas on
againat this fragmentary form of publication. Befiet>
tion led M. Dumas to see his novel contained acones
whloh ought not to be laid before a family audlonco
The editor tried to persuade him to rewrito those
scones and to lower tholr tone, thal this objection might
be obviated- The author, after oopyihg his first manu
script, persisted in his re!-ab and wro; o the following
lattor to the editor:
..Powerful Art-erics! I am obliged to refuse your
presents. These are tho reasoda: TU? work you are
good enough to ask for your newspaper Is a dramatic
narrative. Its title-'Olemencetu's Case, an Accused
Man's Memoir'-shows this sufficiently. But, st the
Barns time, it la especially a sorter anatomim I>DyUolog
loo-sociol study, which cannot be laid beforo the publlo
exoept ander some particular conditions. Thero is sur
gery in the book, and I am anxious the operation should
succeed. The surgeon's great art Is to uncover a wound
burn or out It, and throw back the sheet on the patient
before he has time to utter a scream. The surgeon must
interest, instruct, more the persons present; he must
not revolt thom. There ia no harm in curing big patient
to boot ; but this Is not the sB Important point ; the essen
tial thing is that the op?ration be qutokly and neatly per
formed. Now, "Olemencean's Casa" is really an opera
tion. When once it has been commenced it cannot be
Interrupted. A portion of It cannot bo poatponod to
the next day while the wound Iles gaping before the
roader's eyes. It would be more than painful, moro
than awkward-it would he unhealthy. When auoh a
book hi to be laid before the publlo. It must be brought
out unpublished, all at once, exactly like "An Acoused
Han's Memoir," with all the arguments together. It
necessarily contains delicate and dlffloolt confessions,
which may be made by a wretch in peril of death, who
thinks no one bears him but hla lawyer-that la, a con
fessor oharged with defending his honor end life_but
which bo cannot tell everybody.
"it is even an indiscretion to communicate his story
to separate judges, as I am going to do. It would be
treachery lo divulge It in a widely circulated newspa
per taken by families in confidence, and which ought
not to wound the scruples at home. You kaow_it is a
case for its application-the phrase used by all news
papers in giving an account of a orlme: 'Oar reserve
can be und erstand. The accused is now in tho bands
of justice.' In publishing this rather strango history in
a periodical sheet, I should certainly incur the reproach
ox marring its meanlng, object, and morality; I should
have no excuse but the huge amount of money yon
offer me-a wretch? ?1 excuse. If, despite all my pre
cautions, my work still shocks some susceptibilities, I
should prefer going honestly astray, and not having
forced my work on anybody. A book la road only by
him who wishes to read it. Let como what may, I can
from this moment reokon on the sympathy of your
paper, which perhaps will be delighted at the fatal mo
ment at tho saving I made it. Becelve, great tempter,
with my thanks for your flattering proposal, the assur
ance of the Christian sentiments one owes bis neighbor
more than ever in this Passion Week, and lead me no
more into temptation. A. DDMAS, JB."

Coi,. JOHN O'NEILL'S ACCOUNT or HIMSELF.-After
the prisoners were brought into court this morning,
and before the commencement of tho prooeodlnga, wo
had, with the permission of Marshal Williams, some
conversation with Col. John O'Neill, commander of tho
Fenians during the recent campaign la Canada. Cob
O'Neill Is a man rather below the mediara stature, of
slight, though compact and well-knit frame. He is a
person of very pleasant address, modest and unassum
ing in his manner, and altogether a very agreeablo gen
tleman. He te not a graduate of West Point, as has been
stated, but enlisted as a private in tho 3d D. 8. Dra
goons In 1867, and went to Utah. He waa subsequently
transferred to the 1st Dragoons, went to OsBfornla, and
served until the breaking out of the rebellion. He en
tered the Dnlon ranks, and served in the Army of the
Potomac until McOlellan was driven back. After the
Seven Days' fight the regiment to which he belopged
was brokon up. The officers went to IndianapoUs on
recruiting service, and he was commissioned in the 6th
Indian? Cavalry. He served in Kentucky until after
Morgan's raid, and had a severe fight with that famous
guerrilla at Buffiuaton Island, and though tho force with
which O'Neill opposed the rebel was greatly Inferior In
numbers, compelled bun to repeat. Col. O'Neill con
tinued in tho service until severe wounds forced him to
leave it. He farther Bays that the report of his baying
boen b3 the rebel service 1B wholly untrue that be was
a Union man from the first-thathenever foughtagalnat
the Union, an i that he never .coald bo lnducod to do so
In reply to a question as to what truth there waa in the
report that ho had killed a man unfairly in a duel, bo
stated that he had never fought a duel in his life; that
he condemned "the code" as against lils religion, was
opposed to it in toto, and would never fight a duel under
any circumstances. We give those statamonts as given
us Col. O'Neill himself, and while expressing no doubt
of their troth, are not, of cou rao, prepared to vouch for
tholr authenticity.- Buffalo Commercial Advertiser.
