Most of the buyers now in town aro from the west. The Southern trude is nearly over, and business men tell me it has been a good deal bette- than they anticipated. The South hos purohased largely of dry goodB, boot, and shoes, bats, hardware, Ac, and bought straight through a better class of goods than in any season since the war. I am told by Western men now stocking upfcr spring that the prospects for business in the West are better than they wero this time last year. Money, they say, is- rather scares at present, but they believe it will soon become more plentiful, and that every man who manages his business carefully will oome out well at the end of the year. The publishing trade, too, is looking up, and promises well. A large num? ber of new works are in press, and the publish? ers calculate on better times than they had last year. The city retail trade hangs back, except on Broadway, where it always sets in a month earlier than anywhere else. The small deal? ers still have quite enough to do to make both ends meet, and as many of them will have to pay higher rents this year thanHast, they are not likely to make much money. But since the war tho small dealers haye not made much money any season, and from the tendency of trade to centralize where there is large capital,' the small dealers seem likely to ?have hard work all along. CHARLESTON". -;-o MONDAY MOSSING, APRIL 5, 1869. Justice Solomon 1?. H?ge. To be misunderstood is one of the sad penalties of greatness; and it is not sur? prising that an obstinate public should have doubted the patriotic purity of the motives which led Solomon L. H?ge, Associate Jus? tice of the Supreme Court of the State, .to contest the election to Congress of the Hon. J. P. Reed. There is no doubt that the election was fairly conducted, and that Mr. Reed was legally eleoted. But lofty minds heed little the simplicities of actual fact; the intellectual giant being willing, when the end is important, to choose the readiest means, without regard to the minor tones whioh harmonize the lives of smaller and less conspicuous men. Justice H?ge could not have been guided by personal ambition, or parly prejudice, or even the remembrance of the dreadful day when, filled with terror, he fled across the country and slipped off to^aehington to pray for protection against rebel insub? ordination. With him considerations so puny would have no weight. There was no hate in his heart. Samuel Johnson would not have loved him. And if he de-, sires to leave the Supreme beach, and take his seat in Congress by the side of the im? maculate Bowen and cooing Whittemore, it is because of his belief that the change will be of benefit to the State. No feeling that he could not remain on the bench with? out making Radicalism more than evex-ri? diculous directed his actions. Had he not proved himself a Democrat at heart by sug? gesting the powder and ball treatment as a quietus for turbulent negroes ? Should he not make bis orthodoxy unimpeachable by leaving a' position that paid well, for a po? sition whose emoluments need only be lim? ited by the modesty and ingenuity of the incumbent ? The circumstances under whioh he was eleoted to the Supreme beuoh were distres? singly peculiar. One Chief Justice and two A B roc?ate J UB ti ces were to be o ho sen. Mr. Corbin, of-Rhode Island; Senator from Charleston and United. States District At? torney^ was ready and...eager for .the first; ahi when he was defeated by Judge Moses would aqcept no lower plaoe. Colonel A J. Willard, of New York, was eleoted as one Associate-Justice; but the whole Radi? car establishment, bl a ok, white and mixed, were in a quandary to know who to take for the other. John Morrissey was Bug gested. Daddy Cain was proposed. But Solomon L. H?ge was the favorite. He was boru in Ohio, which was one thing in his favor. He had actually-graduated as a lawyer and had praotioed his profession for nearly two years, which was more than other candidates could say. He was only thirty-two years old, so that if he bad any crotchets on the subject of a whit? man's government he might be turned from his evil ways. He was Captain and Brevet Major in the United States army, which allowed it to be presumed that he would worthily wield the judioial sword. He was Acting Inspector-General of the Freedmen's Bureau, whioh would cause him to look after the interests of the unsophisticated Afrioan. And-if any other argument were wanting-H?ge must have soma? bing; and surely he was as well qualified for a judgeship as his electors were qualified to make laws for the State. This settled it, and Solomon L H?ge was elected, notwith? standing hts own earnest conviction that he oould as easily ride on the tale of a comet without falling off as sit on the Supreme bench wit h ow making it evident that he was Solomon only in name. And if Solomon L H?ge did not feel like a judge, neither did ho look like one. About him there were "No eyes severe and beard of formal cut." All that he was-fae seemed to be: An ea??y tempered, smooth-faced young man, just twice sixteen years old. On the bench, Binoe his election in July last, Justice H?ge has played dummy with a patienoe whioh should entitle bim to draw a foreign mission in the "Grant American "Gift Enterprise" at Washington. The feelings, however, of the new fledged ju? tice were not pleasant. The day migbt come when he would be obliged to open his judicial mouth. And-what then ? So be pined for Bowen, sighed for Whittemore, and, like Rtohel mourning for her children, would not be comforted. Justice H?ge se? cured, at the first opportunity, the Radical nomination for Congress in the Third Dis? trict, and was defeated handsomely hy Mr. Reed, who oarried the district by 3008 ma ! jority. This was net to be endured. Jua i tice H?ge, though no judge of law, was a ii ' . k 1 JL good judge of evidence whee euch willing witnesses as R. K. Scott, Governor, oould be examined. Reams of paper were cov? ered with wondrous stories of rebel out? rages, rebel threats, and rebel intimidation. There was not a vestige of truth in it. The truth would not have suited a Radical Con? gressional Committee. A resolution was adopted by Congress that the claim of any person disqualified by the Fourteenth Con? stitutional ? ? ? end m en t should not be consid? ered without the further orders of the House. This threw out Mr. Reed until his disabili? ties could be removed. The next step was to declare that H?ge had a prima facie title to Mr. Reed's seat, and H?ge now hopes to walk over the oourse. This is the whole eventful history. It disproves the assertions so freely made that the Radioal party-Scott, Corbia & Co. sent him to Congress because they feared that he would repeat the judgment of Solo? mon with modern variations. And it also disproves the statement that the Radicals felt that, as the unconstitutionality of a trio of their laws was coming up for decision, it was necessary to have a figure on the ap? pellate bench that could give a reason for the unreason that was in him. To have translated him for these causes would have been monstrously unjust; for it was no fault of Justice H?ge, but his misfortune, that he kuew nothing of the law. And yet this skeptical public, which will not be convinoed, explains the whole transaction by dedaring that Hege was elected judge because he was no lawyer, and will take his seat in Congress because his Democratic opponent was elec? ted. As for the public praise which H?ge ex? pects-we wish that he may get it. The Abberillt Negro Militia. We have at present no later news from Abbeville in regard to the calling ont of negro troops than was published in our issue of Saturday. We learn, however, by a private letter from Columbia, that no arms were put in the hands of the Abbe? ville negroes, and that the movement looked rather to having in readiness a number of oolored men who could be armed and called into service at a moment's notice, than to the immediate organization and equipment of a negro company. F. J. Moses, Jr., the Adjutant-General of the State, has gone to Washington to obtain the quota of arms allowed by the United States Government, and as Boon as the arms arrive negr* oompanies aro expected to be formed in every district in the State. TUE ANDERSON INTELLIGENCER, says: "Tho Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel calls "the attention of planters and others to the "fact that the ootton tax was not repealed, "but only suspended so far as the crop of "1SG8 was conoerned, and says that it is "well to bear this faotiu mind when 'pitch " 'ing' the new crop. We think our oontem "porary is mistaken, and that the act of Con? gress provides that all cotton grown after "1868 be exempted from tax." The Intelligencer is right. The law re? ferred to was passed at the second session of the Fortieth Congress, and exempts from internal-.Lax all ttmttmm . ;~ **?*" United States after 1867. Cotton imported from foreign countries was exempted from duty after November 1, 1868. A CORRESPONDENT of the Columbia Phoe? nix says that a number of negro laborers in his neighborhood have broken their contracts and gone to Abbeville Courthouse for the purpose of enlisting in a military organisation; at a pay of fifteen dollars per month.
