The RMontrnetlon Acta ia the Cabi
WASHINGTON, June 20.-The conclusions ol
President and Cabinet in reference to the inte
tation of the military reconstruction laws are 6
tn the following proceedings, which are publi
by permission of the proper authority:
IK CABINET, June 18, 1867.-Present-The I
dent, the Secretary of State, the Secretary c
Treasury, the Secretary of War, the Secreta
the Navy, the PoBtmaster-General, the Attoi
General, and the Secretary of the Interior.
Pr?sidant announced that ne had under consii
lion the two opinions from the Attorney-Go
aa to the legal questions arising upon the Ac
Congress commonly known as the Reconstru
Acts, and that in view of the great magnitu
the subj, ct, and of the various interests invo
he deemed proper to have it considered ful
Cabinet, and to avail himself of all the light w
could be afforded by the opinions and advice o
members of the Cabinet, to enable him tc
that these laws be faithfully executed, and U
oide what orders and instructions are necee
and expedient to be given to the militr-y i
mandera.
The President said-further, that the brace
the subject that seemed to hun first in order
consideration, was as to the instructions to be
to the military commanders for their guida
and for the guidance of persons offering for rt
-(ration. The instructions proposed by the A
ney-GeneraL, as set forth in the summary conta
in his last opinion, will, therefore, be now coi
ered. The summ arv was then read at length,
reading of the summary having been conclu

An Appeal from Florene?.
FLORENCE, June 15th, 1867.
To the Editor of the Da?y Neust:
DEAS SEE-Permit me through your very valua?
ble paper, to call the attention of your friends,
and the Episcopalians generally of Charleston, to
the fact that we are striving to build at this place
an Episcopal Church, and I trust our Charleston
friends will give us that aid in the good work,
they have so often rendered praiseworthy objects.
In all communities, churches are essential for
the peace, happiness and well-being of society, as
well as pl aces who rowe tn ay congregate, and our
children with ourselves hear tho word of God, and
there offer up our prayers and givo praise to Him
who has ever watched over those who strive to do
that which, is pleasing in His sight. Our little town
is rapidly growing, and those of us who are Epis?
copalians have no place to worship ; and as our
numbers are increasing, we deem it but right
that we should, at least, have a Chapel, whore we
may participate in our holy rites, and establish
Sabbath {Schools for our children. I am sure
the subject ia but to be brought before our
friends, and their energies will be lent
in our behalf, I4 would suggest mosY res?
pectfully that one Sabbath be set apart in
tjach Episcopalian Church in Charleston, and a col?
lection be taken up for the purpose of building an
Episcopalian Church st Florence, S. C. The sub?
scriptions will be received-by Mrs. J. W. GAMBLE,
Mrs. FRANCIS CHURCH, and other ladies here who
have the whole matter at heart, and aro in charge,
and I am sure will meet with their sincere acknow?
ledgments and hearty thanks of al} interested. To
the Presbyterian s here we are much indented for
the kind, invitation to 'attend at all times worship
with them, and for the hearty support io our be?
half. Any amounts subscribed may be sent to the
ladies herein mentioned.
May the author of all good prompt our brethren
in this matter, and may He watch over those who
put their trust in Him.
Yours truly and respectfully,
AN EPISCOPALIAN.
Tho Timber Trade.
2b the Editor of the Daily Nevos:
Whenever a particular branch of oommerce and
trade languishes and falls to be successful and
profitable: when labor, properly bestowed upon
any business proves unproductive, and that which
was formerly remunerative must be abandoned,
it is right and proper that we should look to tho
causes which produce these results, and, if we
may, correct them.
Next to cotton, rice and naval stores, as pro?
ducts of this State for commercial purposes, I be?
hove may be classed the timber and lumber
trade-indeed, I do nqt know but timber is,
in fact, a more important article than rosin and
turpentine. Statistics of these^branches of trado
in Charleston, unlike those of other citios, m ike so
meagre a showing that it is impossible to estimate
the vaiue of tho trade. True, we see occasional
weekly statements of cargoes shipped-)ut if we
take the weekly quotations and compare them
with actual sales (if one had the small-pox the
other would be in no danger of catching it). It
is a remarkable fact that timber in Charleston
marko: has never brought its value as compared
with tho market in a neighboring city ; and, more
recently, the prices offered do not warrant its pro
luetion at all. Whether the fact is that capitali?
sts have combined with the millers against the
lellers, or there is but little capital invested in
his branch of trade, and BO there is established a
nonopoly, we are unable to ascertain, but so it is ;
umber men are driven to abandon the trade, or
ind a better market. We are aware that the con
lid between labor and capital continues as it
ii way 8 has, and that capital still maint ams its ad?
vantage, but in this age of revolutions it would
>c surprising, if by concentration and combina
ions of labor well directed capital shall not be
breed to yield equal justice and fair remuneration
0 labor.
There is no reason why timber at another port,
is easily reached, with but trifling additional ex
jensGs, should always command a price nearly
.00 per cent., above Charleston market. I am
.ware that various reasons have been assigned
rhy this is so. It has been said that as large
.hips cannot be loaded in Charleston as at Savan
iab ; but I am told that is not so, the entrance at
Charleston being equally acceptable with her sister
1 ty. We are told, also, of differences in measure
nent and inspection, which accounts for the dif?
ference in price. There may be, and probably is,
lomething in these ; but if our system of inspec
ion and measurement is faulty, why not correct
hem, and establish a standard equal to our neigh?
bors, net encourage the cutting and bringing to
narket, of inferior timber, and then to take
advantage of the fault, to reduce the price to a
joint so low as to bankrupt every man who is dar
ng enough to embark in the business. The truth
s that measuring timber in Charleston is mere
?umbuggery, but the charges are a feeling reality;
indas for inspection, there is literally none. I
jresume the measurer and inspector is elected by
-our City Council, and that being elected or ap?
pointed there is no further responsibility. It
strikes me that these matters should come within
he supervision of the Board of Trade; at all events,
lhere is in all this timber trade a subject to which
[ desire to call its particular attention. I under?
stand that body to have been created for the purpose
)f giving character and tone to all commercial trans
ictions, and so far as its peculiar province may ex
lend, to enquire into and correct all such evils as
nay continue to prevail, either as the result of
following out some old-fashioned course of trade or
by trammelling a particular branch of business,
mob as this, with petty expenses and ill
performed duties, thus destroying the
value of honest industry. If capital persists in
combinations against labor; if trade is encum?
bered with a host of trifling expenses; ii a mar?
ket has only a nominal standard of requirement as
to quality, and then takes advantage of its own
wrong-doing; if honest industry cannot find its
reward in Charleston market, then labor must
direct its products into another channel, where it
is sure and certain to meet ito reward.
The City of Charleston is now setting out in a
new race for commercial power and influence. It
will not do, I think, to follow up the old narrow,
irregular, ill-digested plan of building railroads in
distant States, to the damage of ho xe trade and
home industry-however that may be, the timber
cuiters will, most assuredly, seek their interests
wherever it may be found. The best market, tak?
ing all things into consideration, will command
the trade, even though we are obliged to go out of
the State to find it More of this here sf tor.
TIMBER CUTTER.
Tkie New Torie Prese on tue Attorney?
General's Opinion.
The following are extracts from our New York
exchanges of Monday, referring to the Attorney
General's opinion as to the powers of the military
commanders in the South :
[From the Tribune.]
Above all-and here we approach the crime of
the opinion-this is not the construction intended
by Congress, and. accepted by the Administration
and the country, in this respect the At?
torney-General is dishonest. He is a par?
tisan endeavoring to proparo the country
ror a great wrong. We are al raid we cannot
trust the President He seems to have the
fatal facility of blundering, of getting himself
and hi8 friends into trouble, of bringing peril to
the country. Nothing seems to annoy him so
much as peace. We believe he means, if he dares,
to stnko a blow at the reconstruction policy of
Congress, and bring up from the pit of sin and
iniquity the shameless "policy" by which he
sought to deprive a race of ito dearly-earned
rights. We must show him that he dare not
Congress should assemble in July and address it?
self again to reconstruction, We must make thia
bul so plain that even Stanbery may understand it,
and so comprehensive that the President cannot
escape its execution. We regret that the Admin?
istration has forced another issue upon the conn
try. We must promptly meet it
[From the Time*.]
We can only repeat the hope, we have more than
once expressed, that the President will not follow
this advice. If he acta upon it at all. it can only
be as advice,-for as we have.sought to show in
another article, it has upon him no binding au?
thority whatever. Whatever may be the cogency
of the te :hnical reasoning of the Attorney-General
(and we confess it is very strong), the President's
attention ought to be given-as that of the pub?
lic will be-to the practical execution of the law
in completing the work of reconstruction; and
that depends far more on the actual and com?
plete authority of the Generals in their re?
spective districts than upon any technical con?
structions of tbe law. Their moral influence and
consequent usefulness very much depend upon the
realization of the fact that they are in a manner
absolute-that their power to dispose of faithless
or obstructive officials ia as complete as their pow?
er to preserve the peace-and that their acts are
not subject to reversal by distant political authori?
ty. Lei it be once understood that the General is
a mere subordinate, whose superior is ready to
listen to the complaints of persons whom the Gen?
eral has for cause removed, and from that moment
the enemies of tho law will take frosh courage, and
the work of reconstruction will be very seriously
impeded,
[From the Herald.]
No man disposed to accept and act upon thia
law in good faith can see in it any other than the
clear intent and purpose thus set forth. But we
do not say that any lawyer may not argue around
it or that legal acuteness, exercised for the specific
purpose, may not find in it places large enough
for many small men to creep through, Richelieu
could condemn a man upon any three lines he had
over written, and no doubt the right sort of lawyer
can nullify and defeat tho most distinct and posi?
tive statute that ever declared the will of a ruling
power. It, indeed, requires only very moderate
ability to make quibbles of any sort. Is tho re?
construction law t o be acted upon in this spirit ?
Are legal arguments to deprive it of its vitality?
Does the President, under pretence of tolling the
commanders how to execute the law, intend to
tell them only how to defeat it ? Evidently that is
just where we stand. This is the evident purpose
now. and it is clear that we are on the eve of new
troubles. Above all, it is clear that rccona.truc.tion
cannot go forward until we haye another Execu?
tive. How long sha]! that boy This is now the great
Seati?n for the country to consider. We nave
e Presidents platform in the two opinions-wo
know what to expect from him, and we ought to
determine at once what shall be done.
[From the Commercial Advertiser.]
We cannot, therefore, but regret that the Attor?
ney-General, able and strong aa he is in his legal
criticism, felt constrained {o make this issue. It
is bettor, ito" pur judgment "tp bear the ills" of
military reconstruction, than tu provoke others.
We would not willingly furnish a pretext for the
reassembling of Congress, thus unleashing the
blood-hounds of ''Impeachment," "Confiscation"
and "Land Distribution." As we stand, Stevens,
Boutwell, Butler and Wade, with the propensity,
lack the power to work mischief. But if the Presi?
dent, acting upon tho opinion of tho Attorney
General, removes Sheridan, the
"Accursed and unquiet wrangling dava"
will return.
The vfoxk of reconstruction was progressing,
and reunion in dOhto, or indeed in anv, form, is
bettor than perpetual warfare.
[From the Evening Post,]
There is too great haste, \t seems to, us. among
certain men and, journals to excite the country
anew upon thf. reconstruction question, We aa.
viso the people to keep cool,' Tho President has

official opinion ia that it is a despotic oct; doubt?
less he will make ita execution os little hurtful to
the liberties of tho country as may bc; and on
the other side, the generals in command are
men who may bo trusted to maintain "peace
and good order." When they attempt, after
their military fashion, more than the law au?
thorizes, they ought lo bo warned and cautioned
to keep to their business. For tbe r?*?, registra?

in the Southern g jatos ; and unless tho impracti?
cable and unruly politicians here can,
in concert with the impracticable and un?
ruly politicians in the Southern States,
overthrow all that has boen accomplished, all the
States will be represented in the long session of
Congress, to the very great benefit of the country.
That is what tho moss bf the people want, what
they are impatiently waiting for, and we advise
political schemers, either North or South, to stand
out of tho way.

It shall be the duty of the proper civil officers charged
with providing lists of Jurors, to proceed within their
several jurisdictions, without delay, and ascertain the
names of all qualified persons and place them on the Jury
lists, and from such revised lists all Jurors shall be here?
after Bummonod and drawn in the manner required by

nr. All citizens are eligible to follow any licensed call?
ing, employment, or vocation, subject to such impartial
regulations as may be prescribed by municipal or other

right and the constitution and laws of the United States.

[GENERAL OHLERS NO. 25.]
It appears from sundry petitions and official repre?
sentations that thc present scanty supply of lood in the
Carolinas is seriously dimlnishel by tho large quantity
of grain consumed in numerous distilleries, put up snd
worked in defiance of the revenue laws of the United
States ; it ls represi n ted that few or none of the require?
ments of law are observed in any of these establishments;
that the officers of the internal revenue service, while
endeavoring to assess and collect the whiskey tax, are
frequently treated with (Msaespect, and sometimes
menaced with violence ; and that when offenders are
prosecuted in the civil courts, and violations of the in?
ternal revenue laws Indisputably proved. Juries fail to
convict the parties ; it is further shown that thia un?
lawful traffic makes food dearer in places where burge
numbers are depending upon public and private bounty;
that the Government is, < esides, defrauded of a large
amount of revenue ; that the authority of its civil officers
ls brought Into contempt ; and furthermore, that the
mischief complained of tends to increase poverty, dis?
order and crime ; therefore, in the exercise of the au?
thority vested hi the Commanding General, it ia ordered
that
L The distillation or manufacture of whiskey or other
spirits from grain, is prohibited in this Military District
Any person so engaged or employed will be deemed guil?
ty of a misdemeanor. The po .-session of a still, or other
apparatus for this purpose, will be considered presump?
tive evidence of a violation of the Revenue Laws, and the
party or parties using the same, or on whose premises,
or in whose possession the same may be found, will be
arrested and brought to trial before a military tribunal
composed of tho Commanding Oilicer of the Post and
two officers of the army, next in rank on dury within the
territorial limits of the Post If the exigencies of the
service do not permit the detail of other officers, that
fact will be duly certified and tho Post Commander will
hear and determine tho case.
IL The penalties, punishments and forfeitures pre?
scribed by the several acts of Congress for distilling or
manufacturing whiskey or other spirits in violation of
tho revenue laws will be inposed and executed by the
military tribunals hereby authorized.
UL Mo sentence extending ^imprisonment, forfeiture
of stills, liquor or other property, or the imposition of s
fine or other penalty will bo carried into effect until re?
ported to these Headquarters and approved by the Com?
manding General.
rv. AU troops of the United States, Magistrates, Sheriffs,
Constables, Police and others in authority, are required,
and all citizens aro solicited, to be vigilant in detecting
and prompt bi giving information of the violation of
these orders. Commanding officers will be held re
sponsiblo for their enforcement

IN MEMORIAM.
On the 14th day of May last parsed away from thu
fleetlng show to the realities of a lifo eternal, in the 47th
year of his pilgrimage here. FRANCIS ALEXA ND EB
CORMIER, a native of this city.
The subject of this brief sketch was by occupation a
master mechanic, and was, for some considerable time,
engaged at the foundry of bia esteemed friend. Mr.
JAKES M. EABON, as foreman in the boller-mal?ng de?
partment where, by characteristic kindness to tn ose un?
der his control and management, habita wisely temper?
ate and careful attention to business, he won for him?
self tho noticeable and deserved appreciation, confidence
and approbation of employer and employees. D?ring
his illness he was watched over and cared for by anxious
friends with the tenderest solicitude, all of whom ex?
pressed an earnest hope of his recovery. Congestion,
however, ensued after four weeks of Inexplicable Buffer?
ing, uncomplainingly borne, and the hope which had
thus been fostered was crushed and gone. The Lord ol
Heaven and of Earth saw proper. in His infinite wisdom,
to remove hun. None can ttay BU hand or tay unto
Hun, what doest Thou t
The tears of an aged and venerated mother-now almost
a centenarian-of an exemplair wife, three affectionate
children, and a loving and only remaining brother, are
shed in sacred silence over his grave; but though they sor
row much at their great deprivation, their unwavering
faith in Him who giveth and who taketh away, points them
to a glad reunion hereafter In a world of unimagined
beauly and light
Our friend was professedly of the Catholic Apostolic
religion, and the bleat consolations of sought for in?
struction and thorough preparation were faithfully and
with much zeal administered to hun by the Church, He
wan happily fitted for the great change that awaited him,
and ho evidenced a quiet, fearless, bumble, Christiar
resignation to the will of God worthy of one who was ac
sensible of his dependent condition.
Peace, fond mother, peace to your bruised heart; peace,
kind ulsters, peace to your troubled minds; peace, dost
lng children and loving brother, a lasting peace for all ol
youl God doeth all thingt nett.
The memory of our friend, whose excellencies wert
many, and whoee disposition was so congenial with those
who beat knew him, and knowing him, applauded bit
virtues and respected his character generally ; the memo
ry of one to ns so dear will be cherished with fraterna
regard, and shall survive aa long as lasts our temporal
existence.
"By mortal sufferings now no more opprest
His sinless spirit soars away to rest;
Wt'ile we-reversed our natures' kindlier doom
Doth think of him, now In the silent tomb."
May our end be like his, and ours be the home whitbe:
he has been welcomed. A FRIEND.
