VOLUME V.NO. 726 CHARLESTON, S. C., TUESDAY MORNING-, DECEMBER 17, 1867. PRICE FIVE CENTS he l'harlMtou Pally Xtwi for 1868-Im portant Announcement. Encouraged by the recent large increase in he circulation of Tm. CHARLESTON DAILY NEWS, the proprietors are happy to announce that, with the opening of the new year, the price of subscription will be reduced to a figure which will at once place the paper within the reach of every family in tho city and throughout the State. On and after the first of January, 1SGS, THE DAILY NEWS will be pub? lished at Six DOLLARS A YEAH, payable, in all cases, in advance, lt will then be, without exception, the cheapest first-class journal in the Southern States. There is no gocl reason why our community should not be furnished with a live daily newspaper at a rate approxi? mating that of the sprightly penny press of the Northern cities : and the very generous support which has been accorded to us on all sides has hastened a step, long contemplated on our part, towards meeting the popular want. It is hard? ly necessary to say that there will be no dimi? nution in the amount or interest of the reading matter in any department of the paper : on the contrary, it will be our constant effort and our pride to make it, day by day, more full, reliable and entertaining-the spirited compend of tho world's news, the mirror of local life, and the mouthpiece of an enlightened and liberal pub? lic opinion. At the solicitation of many of our friends in the country, we shall also, during the first week in January, commence the issue of THE CHARLES? TON TBI-WEEKLY NEWS. The subscription price wia be TUREE DOLLARS A YEAR, or Two DOLLARS TOR SIX MONTHS, payable always in advance. This reduction in our rates will, we know, be all the more welcome to the public, inas? much as it comes at a time of unprecedented financial distress, when there are few, indeed, among our people who do not sorely need every dollar that oan be saved. We do net permit ourselves to doubt that our enterprise will be rewarded with a steady increase of that popu? lar appreciation and support of which we have hitherto received so liberal a share. THE DAILY NEWS already enjoys a circulation largely exceeding that of any other journal now published in this or the adjoining States ; and its readers may rest assured that, in the future, no effort will be spared to increase the attractiveness of its columns, and to extend still further the field of its influence and use? fulness. y BY TELEGKAPH.

LONDON, December 16.-Tlw British troops had penetrated far into Abyssinia, and the prospects were fair for a successful campaign.

A d?put?t'cu from the English Bible Society presented Napoleon wi :h a copy and address. He reapondea, declaring that it waa his first rule to protect all religious denominations. South American advices, ria Lisbon, report the Paraguayans acting on the offensive with marked success. They had Btonned the Brazilians camp, capturing fifteen hundred. The Brazilians de? fended their camp stubbornly, losing four thou sand, killed, wounded and prisoners. It is thought that the Clarkenwall outrage has ended Fenianism. Large rewards are offered for the guilty parties. The London News, in discussing the Alabama claims, says Seward's difficulty has been increased in Lord Stanley's accession to office.

Bill were introduced for the equalization of all bauk capital among tho different States, to tax National Banks, and continuing the offices of Freedmen's Bureau;talso, memorials adverse to re? ducing Generals Howard and Sickles, were re? ferred. The cotton tax repeal was resumed. Mr. Mor? rell argued adversely, contesting Commissioner Wells' poeitious.? and .offered an amendment ex? empting from duty imported cotton after April, 1868. Ho ridiculed the idea of foreign competi? tion, and proceeded to show from statistics that the smallest crop* brought the highest price. Mr. Sherman argued for the repeal, maintaining that the war had proved that the United States had nc? monopoly in cottou, and read letters from army officers and other Northern men showing that the cotton culture had resulted in absoluto loss. A continuance of the tax must destroy the cotton culture. Mr. Fessenden opposed immediate ac? tion. Mr. Johnson's amendment, applying tho ex? emption to this year, was amended by making tho exemption applicable only to stock in the hands of producers, and that no claims for taxes already paid shall be entertained by the com's. Mr. Johnson accepted tho first amendment, but reject? ed the second on the ground that, if the tax should prove unconstitutional, the claimants should not be refusad a hearing.

Tho Committeo of Ways and Means were direct od to inquire into tho expediency of making legal tenders receivable as customs to tho extent of five percent., and to rt peal the legal tender acts bear? ing on contracts. Mr. Benjamin, of Missouri, offered a resolution with a lengthy preamble, which resolves, 1st, that the House of Representatives will never consent to take one retrogade step from its advanced posi? tion in protecting all, and promoting tho cause of equal rights; 3d, that the success of the Recon? struction act, BO far, gives no reason to doubt that under their provisions tho restoration of tho rebel states will be successfully carried out and accomplished, and they will be established on a loyal basis, and that, in the judgment of tho house, there is no necessity for the repeal of these laws. Tho resolution passed, under the operation of the previous question, by a strict party vote yeas 111, nays 32. Mr. Butler moved to suspend the rules, to offer a resolution that tho indebtedness bo paid as ex pressed in the bonds. That is to say, that those calling for gold should be paid in gold; those con taiuiug no stipulation to be paid in lawful money, The house refused to suspend the rules by a voto of 55 to 83.

SIBILITY FOR THE NEW OBIEANS BIOT-COST OF CONOBESSIONAL RECONSTRUCTION-THE MILITARY SATRAPIES Thc Washington correspondent of tho Baltimore ?azotte writes on thc 13th inst It had not bcon tho purjoso of President bhnson to communicate to Congress any reason or thc suspension or removal of Secretary Stan on, but to send in a nomination of his successor, nd thus raise tho question as to thc Executive tower of removal in this particular caso, bcliov ug as ho does that the bill regulating tho tonuro f civil office does not cover Mr. Stanton's re? noval, as ho was not appointed by the present Sxecutive. Such is also known to be tho opin on of Senator Trumbull and other leading mon ii Congress. Acting, howovor, under tho adrice fhis friends, Mr. Johnson stnt to the Sonate esterday his reasons lor the renoval of Mr. Stan on, as required by tho bill alluded to, and a ynopsis of those reasons has been given to tho lublic, but thoro is reason to bcliovo that the locument itself will present the subject in a much trongcr litrht, particularly that portion which efers to Mr. Stanton's suppression of the New Irloans dispatch, by which means tho ex-Seere ??ry wat enabled to inaugurate those fearful riots or which tho President has boen hold responsible y the Radical leaders.. Whiio thut act alone mst, in public estimation, fully justify tho re loval of Mr. Stanton, it is undorstood in political ircles hero that tho Radical Senators will sustain lie ex-Seoretary, and voto for his re-instalmcnt. honld such bc the action of tho Senate, it is ex? ec ted the President will decline to comply, and ill continuo Mr. Stanton's suspension under thc eneral powers of tho Executive to suspend any f his subordinates-leaving Mr. Stanton to his ;medy at law. This course of tho President will occssarily furnish the oxcuse for much additional buso from the Radical partv. The cost of Congressional Reconstruction is ow tho subject of general comment among mom : rs of all shades of politics, and tho most Radical :o wincing under tho figures as presented by tho aymaster Gonoral of tho Army. Saying nothing ^tho millions already appropriated and disbursed ie call for $1,202,254 to pay the deficiency in eneral Schofield's department, ind $1,252,000 in encrai Popo's department, has astonished tho mtlcmon who have mounted Hie hobby of re ench'iiont-and could it bo dono without an ^.posurc of thoir previous legislation a groat huo id cry would bc raised by tho Radical economists Congress.

Just before thc election in 18G0" certain journals ero were teeming with tho most exaggerated ac junts and most infamous lies of bad treatment rat Northern mcu experienced nt tho hands of our OUthorn people.

Now, at this samo time, our people 1 Georgia were very mnch interested in the sub ictof immigration. They hold public meetings i the cities and counties, and ut the Plant re' Convention thc subject was urged, invit ig immigration, let it como from what see on it might.

As tor thc oeial condition ol our people, 1 will venture thc sscrtioii that a more orderly and law-abiding copie could not. be found on tho continent, und bat there wore fewer crimes committed in the rholc Stale than in ono single Northern city. Last ear thc Northern pcoplo woro afraid to moTO outh '"for lear of the white folks." Ibis year hoy aro afraid to move then; "for fear of tho "nig? er," and thus tho matter Bt&nds, while there aro undrcds of plantations lying idlo. untouched by he plough- fencing und houses rotting down-and ho once fertile cotton fields growing in weeds and nahes. Our laboring clement-thc negro-is getting 3wcr in numbers every year; more insolent, and lore mid more indolent, thriftless and shiftless. Nmetoon hundred thousand bales of cotton in 18UG gainst.5,000,000in 18GD attest tho truth Of this as ertion. This year, 18ti7, although tho ecasona have icen far more propitious for the cottcn crop tliiiii hey were the yoar before, yet our crop will hardly xceed that of last yoar. Next year we may look or a still further reduction ol' al least one-fourth, or many of our planters, tired and disgusted with ho freedmen's labor, are going to give up the ultnro of cotton altogether and sow a portion of heir fields in grain, and convert tho remainder nto pastures for the raising of sto:k. With our iroduction ot cotton getting less yearly, and the lome consumption of tho raw material somewhat in the increase, it is ucl nt all improbable that our ommercial and financial men ?Ul soon wake np to ho reality that cotton has ceased to bc au article if export. I have stated (that tho voice of thc South eau mlv ue heard occasionally through some kindly lisposed journal-in thia I am mistaken. Thc Bu? eno at Washington puolisbed to tho world, short v before thc elections, that wo were going to nuke this year three and a hull' million hales of ottos. What is thc remedy V It lies in thc halls of longrcas in part only. The Chamber of Commerce c.; this city lately ook action iu relation to the repeal of the cotton ax. This was a good move and in tho right dt ection; and thc tax bids fair to be repealed. They ?ave now before th< ta the subject of ibo rellim to ipecio payments, and which i;.> so ardently desiri tl >y ?II. But with our colton crop (which is relied upon n some measure to retain the precious metals in ho country), getting less and less every year, it vould seem that a return to specie payments vould be attended with great difficulty and sacri icc?. It would appear thal there la a far more imp.T ant work for Ibo Chamlx r t.. inaugurate, and vhich should be becked np by the commercial, die manufacturing, and. indeed, by every iutetest, md that is. to turn tho tide of immigration upon the coito : States, instead "f trailing ii w y oil ba? romi tho Mississippi River, whither n no./. ots.
