THE NEWS FOR THE CAMPAIGW
GREAT INDUCEMENTS TO CLUBS.
The importance of the great political con?
test upon which we have now fairly entered
renders the dissemination among the people
of sound political views and accurate and ear?
ly information of the progress and incidents
of the canvass, a matter of peculiar interest
and expediency. Every individual who has
any stake in the welfare of these Southern
States, should give an active, personal and un?
flagging support to the candidates of the
National Democracy-SEYMOUR and BLAIR. A
triumph of the Radicals will result in the
titter desolation and ruin of the South, and
the placing of an ignorant and brutal race in
all positions and places of honor and trust, to
the exclusion of the white race. The govern?
ment must be wrested from the thieves and
plunderers who now have control of it, and
power placed in the hands of a party pledged
to give peace to a distracted country, and to
make it a government for white men, and not
for negroes. It is only necessary that the peo?
ple should be thoroughly informed to accom?
plish this, and THE NEWB will be an admirable1
- means o ' diffusing this information. In order
to place the paper within the reach cf all, we ;
-have adopted a scale of reduced rates of sub
Forrption for the four months covering the
Presidential canvass, and offer besides peculiar
inducements for the formation of clubs. We
are determined that THE NEWS shall be the
cheapest and best newspaper in the South.
Its blows wiQ fall thickly, steadily and rapidly;
and if the friends of law, order and the Con
etitution do their duty by extending its circu?
lation, its labors can be made powerfully effec?
tive for good. W e a-ppeal, then, to our readers
to examine our remarkably low terms, and go
to work with a will to get up largcclabs for

In the House the veto of the bill to amend
che charter of the City of Charleston waa sus?
tained. The vote to pass the bill over the veto
stood-ayes 41, nays 43.
The debate was long and excited. Boaeman
(colored) of Charleston said that the Republi?
cans of that city were suffering from the tyran?
ny of a Mayor appointed by the military; were
oppressed by a minority, deprived of State
work, 4c. - .
. Other Charleston members spoke in the
same strain, except DeLarge, who voted
against the bill. The veto obtained the sup
. port of the country members on account ol'
their jealousy of Charleston.
The bill to close the operations of the Bank
of the State of Sooth Carolina passed to its
third reading, and will surely become a law.
The test vote stood 56 in favor of the bill and
35 against it.

[FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDEN T. ]
COLUMBIA, S. C., August 31.-Light is at last
.breaking through the Ethiopian darkness of
the session, and we can see adjournment dimly
in the distance. Two resolutions looking to
that consummation so devoutly to be wished
for, were introduced into the House to-day.
One by Mr. Turnar, Democrat, proposing ad?
journment positively on the 11th proximo, and
one by Whipper, prohibiting new business
after the 7th. The rapidity wiln which bills
and other measures have been harried through
or cast aside daring the last day or two, is also
a good omen, and I think the prospect is favor?
able for an adjournment by the 15th proximo,
at farthest.
The veto of the "Bill to alter and amend the
charter of the City of Charleston, and provid?
ing for a municipal election and for other pur?
poses," was the next cheerful feast that varied
the monotony of disagreeables in the hybrid
House. It fell like a thunderbolt upon Jeuks,
the papa of the little bill, and for a moment BO
demoralized his cohorts that Elliott (negro),
who has always opposed the bill, succeeded in
getting tbe House to go into committee of the
whole for the immediate consideration of the
veto. This manoeuvre angered Jenks, and in a
speech advocating delay in the matter, he al?
luded rather plainly to Elliott's railroad log?
rolling. Elliott denounced him bitterly in re?
ply, accusing him of never seeking his ends ex?
cept by the lowest trickery. Jenks turned very
red in the face, and said something about bis
not being personal, and there the comic trage?
dy between himself and Elliott ended. Jenks
carried his point, and the veto and bill were
made the special order for to-morrow. The
veto defeats the scheme of the Pillsbury men
to get immediate possession of the city gov?
ernment, that is, provided the bill is not pass?
ed over the veto. It is not probable and scarce?
ly possible that it will be. Matters will proba?
bly be so arranged that the Charleston muni?
cipal election will come off at the a ame time
with the general election in November.
The bill to close the operations of the Bank
of the State, notwithstanding the favorable
opinion of their Attorney-General, meets with
more opposition than its friends would like.
It is openly asserted that it is the scheme of
speculators, and that they have spent large
suma to advance the biU to its present stage.
An elegant opportunity is afforded to the ora?
tors who have not been paid of crying aloud
in behalf of the poor people, overburdened
with-taxation, against corruption, and at the
same time keeping the chance still open for
themselves to get a share of the good thi
going. They have not been slow ta a
themselves of it. Jackson, a reverend
mirer of schoolmarms, who parts his hai
the middle in true aristocratic Btyle, sern
ized beautifully on this iTuitful subject,
dwelt strongly on the fact that many of
bills were reissued iq^ aid of the rebellion,
he proposed that each man presenting a bil
redemption should swear when he bought
how much he gave for it, and be paid ,
what he swore to. To say nothing of
temptation to perjury, the gallant young ct
lain seemed to overlook the fact that all
bills might be transferred hereafter at |
tho profit to be shared between vendor
vendee, the latter presenting the bills for p
ment. Jackson acid that their Attorney-Gt
ral had given a very learned opinion, but t
by being careful to say that the State
lUble for all legal issues of tbe bank, 1
adroitly avoided the responsibility of decic
what issues were legal and what illegal, wh
was one of the main points at issue.
AU this opposition, I believe, only me
that the speculators must come down with
dust. They can carry their point if they pi
liberal commission on the profits.
The Chatham Railroad bill, and the Chei
and Coalfields Railroad bill, were introdu
into the Senate and House simultaneou
To-day the House bills having been read th
times in that body, wcie received in the Sen
and ordered for consideration to-morrow, ?
the Senate bills were laid on the table.
The Burnt District was on the rampage
day. He blazed afresh with fiery eloquet
He depicted the horrors of the Ku-Klux-K
in vivic\color8, and wanted the Military Cc
mittee to inquire of the Governor what pot
spell might allay the evil spirit.
Next he emptied tbe vials of his wrath
the devoted head of Leslie. Only metaphc
cally, however, for Leslie had betaken hum
to rural retirement in the shades of Barnwi
at least for a season. Randolph, the sable c
ored, wanted to make this voluntary and te
porary retirement compulsory and perpett
In short, he wanted to expel Leslie, and nu
a motion to that effect. Leslie has made hi
self very obnoxious to the colored element,
pecially Randolph, and this resolution may
regarded as an ebullition of their spite. Th
will scarcely have influence to carry it.
The discrimination bill, as it is called, Itu
a non tucendo, because it is c bill io pre vc
discrimination on account of race or color, ?
quietly postponed until Wednesday. It v
probably be altogether defeated, or pass in
very modifed form, similar to tho United Stat
Civil Rights bill.
Bye the bye, the discrimination bill is not t
only canse of the absence of scalawag Ber
tors. Some of them, at least, absurd as t
idea may seem, are too "prejudiced." to sit it
body over which a negro presides, and, cont
quently, they absent themselves BO long as
J. Wright occupies the place of Lemuel Booze
Among these fastidious scalawags are the Re
of York, and Dickson, from the woods of Cia
endon. The first eays so, and the latter, if !
don't say so, acta BO.
James H. Goss, scalawag member of Co
gress from the Fourth District, has been i
druging in free public exhibitions of the pop
lax comedy known os Devil's Tremblea. Soi
days ago he exhibited himself in his hotel lc
comic dress, or rather andross, which i ? i
ported to have been a cross between the Geo
' gia costume and the Black Crook. On Sa tu
day night la:it he sallied forth in search
adventures, and found them-moro too the
he bargained for. Entering the house <
a respectable lady, whose husband was absei
from home, about ten o'clock at night, he b
haved in a way to alarm her and her childrc
Her nephew, who. was passing at the time, b
ing attracted by their screams, went in ai
seeing'that the man was drunk, told him 1
had made a mistake in the house, 'and tried
persuade him to leave; but instead of coi
plying he cursed and swore and threatened i
shoot. The lady's nephew not being arme
went ont to get a pistol, the lady and her chili
ren in the .meantime having escaped to tl
yard. He obtained one from a friend whom I
met at the gate, and turning around met Go:
at the foot of the steps, and then and thei
knocked bim down several timen and kicke
and cuffed him until other parties interfere
A man in his senses guilty of conduct like thi
of G O? a should be shot, and a man out of b
senses should be taken care of by his friend
if he has any.
I have reason to believe that G. W. Swepsoi
one of the principal, if not the principal cap
talist of the National Ranks of Colnmbii
Charlotte and Raleigh, is the party who ha
actually loaned the one hundred and twenty
five thousand dollars to?Governor Scott. Devi
ey, who is Swepson'a partner, remarked to
gentleman of my acquaintance that he went t
Scott with the offer of his firm. That Scot
said he could not accept because he was unde
obligations to Kempton, bul that Kempton wa
near by, and be would ask him what ho had I
say. Scott then told Kemptoa that he wante
one hundred and twenty-ti ve thousand dollar
within a week. Kempton couldn't Bee it, an
Scott then closed with the oller of Thomas Yr
Dewey & Go. Dewey had twe jty th usand dol
lars transferred from the Bank of Charlotte t
the Bank of Columbia, and went directly t<
New York for the balam e. Such is the seor:
as I got it from a gentleman, whom I believe
to be in every way trustworthy. Tbe Chatharr
Railroad Company probably influenced Swep
son. Kempton's business in Now York is ti
negotiate the other loans.
Chief Justice Moses appeared upon -thi
scenes to-day, and, from what I hear, he is in
that state of mind expressed by the Yankee
greenhorn who courted Sal and received yes foi
an answer, not wishing and not expecting it,
when he aaid, "I wish now I just a hadn't^oue
and done it."
Head constable, ex-detective Hubbard has
been sent to Santee to inquire into the recen
ehfficulty.
Caricatures of the S's and C. B.'s are all the
rage here, and it is as good as a farce to see
the colored law-givers grinning over them.

REPUDIATION.-..Brick" Pomeroy'a new
paper, the New York Democrat, is out boldly
for repudiation. In on editorial in its third
number, on the public debt, it said:
We sweep aside the interminable discussions
about the terms of the bargain, and ask simp
ly, does justice to the people require that the
bar ain be recognized? li we find that a cor?
rupt Congress obtained the consent of an igno?
rant, thoughtless and excited people to tho I
erection of that stupendous monument of
national folly called the national debt ; if we
find that the debt waa corruptly contracted:
that its term < are usurious ; if we become con?
vinced that a national debt is the most power?
ful means of national corruption ; that it
ciuses an unequal and unfair distribution of
property ; that it creates a mischievous, idle,
non-prodi.cing, untaxed, bonded ariatjeracy ;
that it throws the burden of taxation entirely i
upon the laboring class ; that it hampers pro?
duction and increases extravagance ; that it
mak s millionaires on one side and paupers on
the other ; and that it breeds crime as the hot
sun broecls maggots ; if we fiori, in a word,
that a national debt is an unmitigated national
curse, wo shall waste no time upon the written
law to discover its letter or ita spirit but Phall
appeal at once to the higher law of national
welfare, which demands that so potent an evil
be at once abolished.
THE DIOCESE OF SAHAB v.-Foreign religious
papers atate that the Pope is about to create
an apoBtolic.il vicariato in A?rica. bevonJ tho

will for the present be confidod to Monsoigueur

cepo will bear the name of Sahara, and com?
prises tue immense apace which ranges between
Algeria and Senegal. The Desert, as it is well
kuown, posse *soa several oaseB peopled by
tribes descended from Christians, *nd whom
tho conquering Mussulmans, in settling on the
coast of Africa, drove into the interior. Those
people, it ia stated, have retained somechiug of
the truo faith, and the Catholic missionaries
may perha a find, as in Japan, latent Chris?
tians ignored and awaiting the return of the
spiritual light.
fl EWS FROM WASHINGTON.
THE PROPOSED SEPTEMBER SESSION OF CON?
GRESS-rMPEACTICABELTTY OF THE SCHEME.
A Washington telegram of the 30th nit., to
the Baltimore Snn, says :
The few gentlemen remaining here, not ex?
ceeding ten or- twelve, who claim to be repre?
sentatives of the sentiments of Southern Radi?
cals, have Desieged Senator Morgan, during his
visit of three days to the city, with entreaties
to call the Kepiblican congressmen to the capi?
tal on the 21st of September, so as to secure a
session of Congress, commencing on that day,
to pass laws suitable to the exigencies of the
situation in the South.
As is generally known, it is agreed among
Republicans that the necessity for a September
session is to be determined by Messrs. Scb?nck
an^ Morgan, on behalf of the Republican Con
gr. ssmea. lt appears that, so far as beard
from, Northern Republicans are generally ad?
verse to the fall session upon several grounds;
first, the impolicy for holding a special session
for legislation exclusively with reference to '
tbe elections in tbe South, because it is pbsai
bie that in the heat of paity passion intemper?
ate sentiments and extreme views may take
the form of acts of Congress and thus work to
the injury of the Radical party in the North,
and possibly even in tho South, whilst this
questionable legislation might fail to secure
the object sought in the Southern States.
Secondly, it is argued that, for any practical
effect, a session as late aa the 21st of Septem?
ber would fail, because it would take from ten
days to two weeks or more to perfect any meas?
ure that could pass both branches of Congress.
Then add to this time expended in Congress
the ten days allowed to the Pr?sidant to hold
the bill for considera'ion, and we find that a
bill could not become a law until about tho
middle of October, leaving, say, but three
weeks, and perhaps less, before tue Presiden?
tial election for the. convening and action of
Southern Legislatures, to say notting of the
proclamation of United States Marshals, which
might be affected by the new act of Congress.
This argument of impracticability and con?
somption of timo applies as well to an act that
might bo framed to authorize the distribution
of arms among the militia of the Suutbern
States. No considerable number of leading or
influential Republicans of the North have ex?
pressed a desire that Congress convene next
month, whilst a large number of that class have
advised that there be no session until Decem?
ber, for the reasons assigned above, and upon
various other grounds.
Senator Morgan is yet o/ the opinion that
the time for determining whether there shall
be a session ot Congress next month has not
arrived, and the prevailing belief among the
best advised here is that there will be no ses?
sion until December.
THE PRESIDENT AND THE TENNESSEE TROU?
BLES-HIS VIEWS CONCERNING THE AHL IT IA
AT THE SOUTH.
A Washington telegram of the 29th instant
says :
Hon. John C. Burch and Col. L. C. Berch
were recently appointed a delegation by the
Conservatives of Tennessee to visit the Presi?
dent and lay before him the situation of affairs
in that State. Mr. Burch was unable to leave
home, and therefore delegated his powers to
CoL Looney, of Kentucky. Cols. Boich and
Looney arrived here yesterday. They bad
a briet interview with the President, which
was interrupted by the arrival of the
hour for Cabinet meeting ; but last night they
had, by appointment, a conference of two hours,
during which Tennessee ma ters were fully dis?
cussed. The President referred the delegation
to recent orders as the limit of Executive power
in the matter, bat assured them tbat
every means authorized by tho constitution
ana the laws would be used to ace ? re the free?
dom of tbe oallot in Tennessee and other
Southern States, without in tener en co by Fed?
eral or State troops. The President took the
ground that the constitution forbids any of the
States a standing army of poid soldiers; that
militia duty is incumbent upon every citizen,
who can only be exempted from it by the pay?
ment of a H ie, or by providing a substitute;
that the militia is an emergency force, subject
to be called from the plow or tbe loom at any
moment, and from which no citizen can escape;
but that a standing army of poid troops in any
State is repugnant to the constitution and to
the spirit of our institutions. Every constitu?
tional power of the Executive wdl be used to
prevent the organization of standing armies of
paid troops in any State, unless called for and
controlled by Federal authority. The Presi?
dent, during his prolonged interview with Cols.
Berch und Looney, produced and read from
the books the parts of the Constitution and
the sevei ul laws on the subject iu support of
hie position. That no State can maintain a
standing army of paid soldiers. The law of
1865, he declared, was conc'nsive on the sub?
ject. It disbanded and forbade reorganiza?
tion of the militia or volunteer force of the
Southern Slates. The President, in bis con?
versation with the delegation, expressed him?
self iu favor of the election of Seymour and
Blair.
RADICAL PBOSCBIFTION OF SOUTHERN TBADE
AND CREDIT.-It wus stated in a dispatch from
New York a few days since, on the authority ot
a paragraph in the Brooklyn Union, said to be,
in some degree, the organ of some of the heav?
iest dealers iq New York, that a meeting of the
leading dry goods Arms of the latter city had
been held, "at which it was resolved that they
would sell no more goods to merchants in the
Southern States, except for cash, daring the
present season." Since then the Brooklyn
journal's article has come to band, and the in?
spiration and spirit of its announcement are
shown by the following extract:
This ia a very significant action on the part
of the peispicacious ousiness men of the me?
tropolis, and furnishes an example which will
undoubtedly be promptly followed by all mer?
chants dealing in whatever business with tbe
Southerners. It shows that thc threats of an?
other revolutiou in which the Democratic lead?
ers have t-o liberally indulged; the continued
anarchy m w^ich the rebels have retained
many of tho Southern States; the persistent
determination ol President Johnson to prevent
the loyal men irom governing the South, and
the revolutionary speeches of Frank Blair and
of Southern fire-eaters who have taken their
cae from him, are having their effect on loyal
merchants at the North, who consider their
expensive business interests, the preservation
of the country and their financial security ot
too great value to be hazarded among a people,
many of whom still owe largelv on gooda sold
to them years ago, and who have shown that j
teeir loyalty to their obligations to the country
cr.nuot be relied upon any more than thea*
loyalty to their obligations to their fellow-mer?
chants.
The Baltimore Sun, in alluding to this move?
ment, says :
Baltimore will endeavor to keep np those
commercial relations wuh that section which
she was prompt to resume when the condition
of the South was far less hopeful than it is now,
and when tue tides of wax were just receding
from h.-r wretched and desolate bosom. If
others choose now to refuse, under the prompt?
ings of mere political vindictiveness, to have
equitable business-relations with the Southern
people, the citizens of Baltimore will not imi?
tate their action.
If 8 ntuern credit has been derangod, and
the tull mater.ai development of the South
frustra.ed, it has not been the result of tho
agencies assigned by the Union, but because
Radical legislation has disorganized labor and
retarded every industrial enterprise of that
section. The South has sufiorcd since the war,
not f om what bas been done by itself, but
from what has bc<.n torced upon it by others,
if it had been lett to itse f, with its familiar,
practical kn>wledgo of tho whole subject, it
would have utilized all its labor, instead of hav?
ing it a vampire upon itself and the reaourcos
of the country. It ia, undoubtedly, the fact
that tho labor of.tho South has beei. more
advantageously managed wdh.n the last sev?
eral mouthe, and is now, where people are
left more io their own action, than at any
former poriod since the war. The cotton
crop for this year is good, with fair prices, and
the general crops better than ?aua!. We have
always recognized the fact that the lc bor of the
freedmen must be the main dependence of the
South, probably for generations, and if whites
and blacks are permitted to regmate their own
relations their mutual interests will secure jus?
tice and the prosperity of alL There is, perhaoB,
mure reason to givo pecuniary credit to the
South at this moment tuan ai acy time since
the war. Her fine crops ?nl ibo improvement
and hopefulness ot uer labor, under present
tende oies there, aro every day putting her iu
amore satisfactory financial condition. And
thia city, whOBe existing commercial remuons
enable her to survey the Southern commercial
situation more accurately than people at a dis?
tance, does not share either the antipathies or
the professed apprehensions of eectionalieta or
fanatics.
TERRIBLE EARTHQUAKE TN CALLAO.-Private
advices from Panama, under date of August
21, announce a great earthquake in Peru, aa
follows:
A fearful earthquake took place in Callao
on the 13th inst., which lasted seven minutes.
No lives were lost, but many houses were in?
jured. At 7 P. Ul. the sea retired for one hun?
dred yards; on returning, the water rose ten
feet above the usual level. Great fears were
entertained that Callao would be completely
inundated. At 12 o'clock the, mole and wharf
were completely covered, the sea rushing into
the lower part of the ci*y. J he town was com?
pletely deserted, the population having fled,
panic-stricken, to the iuterior. At last ac?
counts (14th) the worst was over; but great
alarm prevailed in the community for the eafe
ty of their property. Shipping had not suffer?
ed when the steamer left.
