It says: "The negro Beconatraction Con? vention of South Carolina forms a high esti? mate of its services. Tho Sambos who used to be glad to get a few dollars a month for work? ing on the cotton or rice plantations have fixed then- pay as constitution-makers at eieven dol? lars a day and twenty cents mileage. Our white Congressmen, who get eight dollars a day, will envy these happy blacks. When the darkies come to Congross "Urey will undoubtedly en? deavor to raise the dignity and emoluments of our national legislators in tho same proportion. If a negro member of a State Convention be worth eleven dollars a day, what ought a negro Congressman to get ? Thirty dollars a day at least. How astonished these South Carolina negroes must be with their extraordinary change ot fortune ! They can hardly ret.lize whether they stand on their heads or heels. To cap the climax of their ridiculous presump? tion they should have proposed to pay the white members of the convention halt what they get themselves, and that, after all, would be only somewhat in proportion to the estimate in which the two races are held in the South just now. A white man may be neaily half as good as a negro." CHARLESTON. MONDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 3, 1.868. War With England. In our telegraphic columns this mo rning will be found a dispatob, in relation io the Alabama olaims, which is oalculated t> ex? ercise a pernicious influence in commercial and financial circles. The question now is will there bo war between the United Statesand England? We think not. Certainly not because of the Alabama olaims. There is no reason whatever for believing that England desires a war with the United States; and however strong the war spirit may be in Congress, in the United States army and navy, md in that other army of contractors and (pecu? lators, which, having tasted the sweets of fat contraots desires a repetition of those crumbs from the national table-il. takes two to make a quarrel; and just as no war arose from the "Trent affair," because the United States were unwilling to entangle themselves at that time in such a conplioa tion, so, we believe, there will be no war now, because it is manifestly contrary to the interests of Great Britain at this time to plunge into so serious a national calam? ity, when the same may be so easily avoided. It is not necessary now to discuss the merits of the Alabama claims. It is :nough to know that England has her hands full at present, with Fenianism, the Refom ques? tion, and the Abyssinian war; and t iat the mere rumor of war with the United States would give courage to the discontented and cause alarm to the well-affected throughout the length and breadth of her dominions. England wants peaoe, and will make any honorable sacrifice to maintain iL We are in no better position to gc to war than is England; nay, in some r aspects, our disabilities are much greater. We have just oome out of a long and exhaustive struggle, that has taxed the energies and resouroes of the oountry to the utmost. We have a debt as large very nearly as that of Great Britain, but in a much le; a satis? factory shape; our finances are in a muddle, and business is prostrate. We are in th? midst of a revolution; our internal dissen? sions are of a far more serious and radical character than those of England, maugre Fenians, Jo UK BRIO HT, Trades Unions and King THEODORE. Still those who have con? trol of our government are recoils-quite willing to run the rink of war, in view of its effect on the eleoiions next sunnier and autumn. Bullying Mr. Bull is a popular card. First and foremost it conciliates the ?'Irish element." 2. It gratifies a long harbored resentment because of England's sympathy with the "rebels." 3. There may be some silly enough to thin c that by a foreign war the home breaches oan be mended; and 4. There is the la -go class, alluded to above, who are person? Hy inter? ested, and expect to vault into the gilded regions of shoddydom by such a turn of fortune's wheel. On the whole, we believe, Unit neither nation has anything to gain, but muoh to lose, by a war at this time, and we there? fore cannot doubt that wiser counsels will prevail, and a conciliatory coarse make such an alternative altogether improbable. Every man in England is not a fool. Every man in America is not a knave. As long as there are men in both countries who have sense enough to see what is right and honesty enough to do it, there will be no war between the moulting Amei ioan eagle and the sleeping British lion. But it will not do to oarry out too literally the tradi? tions of Donnybrook Fair. "Will any gen? tleman tread on the tail of my coat?" is more becoming the individual fire-eater than representative or Congressional wis? dom. The United States oan, of course, whip this world and the next; hut a mortal struggle with England would certainly be troublesome and might be rather dangerous. A War Against EarojicI It is reported that General BASKS' bill relating to tho rights of naturalized citi? zens abroad, and instituting reprisals when the Amerioan law is violated, meets with the unanimous favor of the Committee on Foreign Affairs. Should it pass the House, as ie probable, complications BO serious will arise with England and Prussia, as even tbe dexterous Secretary of State oan eoarcely resolve. The bill is simply a war measure. It wrests the Gordian knot out of the hands of diplomacy an i outs it with the sword. The importance of some measure of re? lief is universally admitted. T!;e natural? ized citiiens of this country, with their descendants, constitute the lurger part of the whole population. The report of the House committee estimates them as more than twenty millions. Of course, the Uni? ted States repudiates the feudal doctrine of perpetual allegiance which would deprive her of the services of all these citizens, and of the right to protect them in foreign lands. But here is the difficulty. The laws of Europe and America in regard to the ?talus of our foreign born citizens con? flict, the former denying, the latter assert? ing the right of voluntary expatriation and the validity of naturalization. Practically, Europe, since the war of 1812, has waived her claim to the indefeasable allegiance of her subjeots, so long as they reside on our domain, orare sheltered beneath our flag at sea. She asserts it when her native born subject returns within her own juris? diction. 3he refuses to allow American leg? islation, in this instance, to affect the itatus of one of her natural born oubjects in her own courts. Sho insists that, as ber law cannot control the rights and liabilities of j her subjects when domiciled in America, so neither can American law control their rights and liabilities when they return to their native land. The whole subject is as embarrassing as it is important. It is clear enough that neither the rights of our adopted citizens, nor the honor of j our country can be shielded by the bill of j General BANES. To declare war against all Europe would be simply absurd; to threaten it without daring to wage it would be humiliating. We should even lose the advantages we now possess-the moral in? fluence at Berlin and St. James whioh has often interposed to discharge from the ranks, and to rescue from the prison house and the gibbet. And, to adopt reprisals such as General BANKS recommends; to seize upon harmless travellers and mer? chants from England and Germany, and to cast them into those dreary Bastiles which the shades of martyred patriots haunt, and whence the gi u.ius of starving and freezing men have Boarcely yet departed;-in a word, to repeat the shameful history of the past, would outrage the feelings of those very Germans and Irishmen, whose favor this bill solicits. They do not want the government to starve, and freeze, and chain, and kick, and curse, and stab with bayo? nets, and shoot down any honest compatriot who has thrown himself upon the hospital? ities of America. The subject is one which requires diplo? macy, not bluster. Foreign nations should be addressed in a kind and manly tone. A measure BO unjust, ohildish and petulant, to say the ieast, as that of General BANKS, would prejudioe instead of maintaining the rights of our adopted citizens. And it would be unworthy of a great people. fix Sait. pOK SALE, VALUABLE BOLDIN G LOT SJ on BuUedge Avenue. Lot 82 by 215. By E. L. BARBE, February 3 Imo No. 141 Ea-.t Bay.
