In regard to General Grant's reported conservatism he has no information. -The edit ev of the Native \irginian, in a M late letter rrr.?i the White Sulphur Springs, * wrifpc: When General Lee first caine, ho j * could not ontor the ball-room without being surrounded by groupe of gentlemen and ladies who were anxious-to make his acquaintance. One evening, it so happened that the group around him was composed exclusively of old men, and this of itself attracted all eyes to? ward hun. Just then, a silver-haired old gentleman, much more aged than the rest, drew near the group, and introducing himself to General Lee, grasped his hand, and holding it fast in his own said, with a trembbng voice: "General, pardon an old man for telling you the plain truth. I love you better than I* aver loved my own father." Overpowered Ly emo? tion, General Lee attempted no reply; but his suffused eyes made answer more eloquent than words. Ihose who witnessed the scene, say that it was one of the most effecting they ever beheld. -The pretext for the 7108?? prosegu? entered in the murder indictment against Surratt was the existence of a difference of opmion among judges and lawyers as to whether constructive presence could implicate a party accused in a murder as principal. Judge Wyh? said ho ap? proved of the motion made to enter a nolle prosequi, for unless there was some newly dis? covered testimony it would be useless to try the murder indictment a second time. He was now at liberty to say in regard to the motion now made, and in reference to the point upon which the former trial turned, that ho wac per? fectly clear. It bad never been held, as he knew of, in this country or in England, or in any country, he supposed, governed by law, that a.man could be guilty of murder unless he was present at the commission of the offence. Entertaining that view, and being of the opin? ion, also, from the evidence adduced at the former trial, that the prisoner was not present at the time the crime was committed, he very readily consented to a nolle pros, being enter? ed in this case. That indictment having been thus disposed of, on motion of the counsel for the accused the court adjourned, to enable the prisoner to withdraw the plea of not guilty, made to the indictment for conspiracy, and to plead anew. CHARLESTON. -0 THURSDAY MORNING. SEPTEMBER 24, 18C8. For President..HORATIO SEYMOUR. For Vice-Pr?sident.FRANCIS P. BLAIR. The Suspension of "Senator" Leslie. The so-called Senate of the State failed to expel "Senator" LESLIE upon the charges brought against him, but has succeeded in suspending him for six months. It was not alleged that he was guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors, for the committee which considered the subject only charged him with contempt, in having refused to obey the orders of one of the officers of the Senate, and in having said : "You may gag me and "rush things through as you please. Ye "will be sorry for iL" This, was said to je the whole sam and substance of his offend? ing; but there is not a negro in the Senate or in the House who does not know that LESLIE'S real crime was widely different, both in gravity and character. LESLIE hails from Brooklyn, New York, and says that he was onoe a senator in the New York Legislature. He came to South Carolina in 1865, and after sundry escap? ades, was elected a member of the "Con st i "tutjonal Convention" which assembled in and sharp talker, paying very little regard to the personal feelings of his negro coad? jutors, and slashing right and left when any peculiarly large swindle was expeoted to be hatched. When the State and district offices were distributed LESLIE was forgot? ten; and his only reward was his eleotion as one of the "senators" from Barnwell District. As "senator," LESLIE has been keen and incisive ia all that he has said. A thorough Radical,'he has paradoxically opposed negro supremacy, and upon more than one occasion has declared on the floor of the Senate that even the most intelligent freedmen were wholly incapable of govern? ing either the State or themselves. It was necessary that the weaknesses of the Radi oal party in the State should not be exposed. No regard was paid to the fact that LESLIE had always acted with the Radicals. There was danger in his honesty and plain talk? ing, and it was determined by the ultra Radical leaders to get rid of him. This has been done, and LESLIR now returns to Barnwell district to explain to white man and negro, Democrat and Radical, why he is expelled, and what are the corruptions, the profligacy and the shame of the won? drous mongrel Legislature of which he was a member. In suspending LESLIE, the Senate admit, by word of mouth as well as by deed, that they cannot bear the truth. They acknowl? edge now that free speech will ruin them; forgetting that LESLIE will have upon his side all the Radicals who have been ag? grieved because they were passed over in ;he distribution of spoils; that he has the power and the will, as perhaps no other nan has, to uncover all their secrets, and that his party martyrdom will make him more open-mouthed and irrepressible than lie ever was before. It is also a ludicrous commentary upon the consistency of Radi? al politicians that the party which, in this State, professes to be the upholder of the right of free speech, tho friend of liberty, ind the foe of intimidation and proscription, ihould deliberately expel or suspend a meal? ier of their party because he has been free ipoken, because he would not be brow-beat ir intimidated, and because threats and nenaoes could not make him hold his ongue. LESLIE is now a radical enemy of Radicalism. One of the main beams of the edifice will now be used as a ram to batter n its door and tumble its walls to ruin. Tno Effect upon the Negro. The total taxation, State and local, of the District of Georgetown for the coming year, will be at least forty thousand dollars, igainst thirteen thousand dollars last year; the difference being the result of the legis? lation of our motley General Assembly, rhis forty thousand dollars is equal to a tax of eighty dollars upon each white male idult in the district. If there are any de? faulters, as there will be, the taxes for the second year must be heavier still, to make ip the previous deficiency. We have as? sumed that the tax must be paid in the first nstance by the white citizens of the dis rict, if p*aid at all, because the negroes lave no property and because a poll tax, except for educational purposes, ia prohib? ited by the constitution. The freedmen, then, may flatter themselves that the enor mous4taxation being heaped upon their em? ployers will not affect them; and may, in that way, calm their natural anger at find? ing that not one of the new or old district offices is filled by a black man. But, in truth, the freedmen are as much interested as the white men are in the economical ad? ministration of the resources of the State and its consequence-light taxation. They may have no lands to sell and no money to spend; but they have their labor, and if the absence of demand for that labor brings them to the verge of starvation they have lost all that they bad, and, in their degree, have suffered as much as the white man whose thousand acres are sold to satisfy a tax execution. The negroes who rely on the trade of the towns for their employment must under? stand that excessive taxation will cause the store doors to be closed, and will drive away men of business to a less favored dis? trict. Where, then, will bo their means of honestly making a living ? The negroes who work as field or planta? tion hands receive either a share of the crop or fixed wages. If they receive fixed wages, their wages will be decreased as the taxes are increased, and out of their pockets will come Borne of the dollars which will sup? port in idleness a swarm of worthless ad? venturers. If they work on shares, they will also pay their "part of the taxes, be? cause the whole taxation of the year will be deducted from the proceeds of the crop be? fore any division of profits is made. Where, then, does the negro derive anything but loss from this taxing abomination ? The negro who wishes to rent land is also taxed. There is no capitation tax, no tax on property; but the owner of the land cannot afford to take less rent than will pay the taxes on the laud and give him some profit besides. So that the negro in paying a higher rent pays bis share of taxation. Will not the negro, then, be working every day in the year to make up for the extrav? agance and ignorance of bis brethren in Columbia ? But this is not the worst. The white peo? ple of the State will have no vigor and en? ergy while they are threatened with a crushing weight of taxation. They will not be willing to trust to deductions from the prooeeds of their produce, to lower wages, to higher rents, to relieve them of j the load. They will be tempted to give up business, to allow their farms to be uncul? tivated, to desist from doing one iota more than is requisite to barely support them? selves s 1 their families. Excessive taxa? tion will kill trade and put an end to farm ing and planting. It will cut off the freed? men from all hope of employment, and leave them no future but misery and famine. AB long as this State is ruled by ignorant blacks and rascally whites, there will be nothing but wanton extravagance and un? paralleled taxation. Under euch a system the thieving, lying negro may live and grow fat, but the honest and diligent freed? men will pine and perish. KUCLAIIATIUN By GEORGE W. CLASE, Mayor of Charlatan.
