Tho South tn ? purchased largely of dry goods, boots and shoes, hats, hardwato, Sec., and bought straight through a botter class of goods than in any season since the war. I am told by Western men now stocking up for spring that the proBpeots for business in tho Wost are bettor than they wore this timo last year. Money, they say, is. rather scarce at present, but they bolievo it will soon become moro plentiful, and th?t ?very mau who manages his business carefully will como out well at tho end of the year. The publishing trado, too, is looking up, and promises well. A large num? ber of new works are in press, and the publish? ers oaloulate on better timos than they had last year. The oity retail trade hangs back, except on Broadway, wheio it always sets in a month earlier than anywhere else. Tho small deal? ers still have quito onough to do to make both onds meet, and as many of them will have to pay higher rents this year than last, they are not likely to m a ko much money. But Bince tho war the small dealers have not made much money any season, and from the tendenoy of trade to centralize whore there is large capital, the small dealers seem likely to have hard work all along. CHARLESTON. MONDAY MORNING, APRIL 5, 1869. Justice Solomon !.. Hog c. . 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 patriotio purity of the motives which led Solomon L. H?ge, Associate Jus? tice of the Supreme Court of the State, to contest tho election to Congress of the Hom J. P. Reed.- There is no doubt that the election was-fairly conducted, and that Mr. Reed waB legally elected. But lofty minds heed little the simplicities of aotual faot; the intellectual giant being willing, when the end is important, to oho ose the readiest means, without regard to the minor-, tones which harmonize the lives of smaller and less conspicuous men. Justice H?ge could not have been guided by personal ambition, cr party prejudice, or even the remembrance of the dreadful day when, filled with terror, he fled across the country and slipped off to Washington to pray for protection against rebel insub I 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 benoh, 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 chango will be of benefit to the State. No feeling that he oould not remain on the benoh with? out making Radicalism more than ever ri? diculous directed. his actions. ' Had he not proved himself a Demoorat at heart by sug? gesting the powder and ball treatment as a quietus for turbulent negroes ? Should be not make his 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 which he was elected to the Supreme benoh were distres? singly peouliar. One Chief Justico and two Associate Justices were to. be chosen. Mr. Corbin, of Rhode Island, Senator from Charleston and United States District At? torney, was ready and eager for th? first; and when he was defeated by Judge Moses would accept nd lower place. Colonel A. J. Willard, of New York, was elected as one Associate-Justice; but the whole Radi? cal establishment,, black, white and mixed, were in a quandary to know who to take for the other. John Morrissey was sug .gested. Daddy Qain;was proposed. But Solomon L. H?ge ?wai the favorite I He was born in Ohio, whioh was one thing in his favor. He had actually graduated aa a lawyer and had practiced his profession for nearly two years, whioh was more than other candidates could say. He was only thirty-two years old, sc that if he had any oro tobe ta on the subject of a white man's government he might be turned from his evil ways. He was Captain and Brevet Major in the United States army* whioh, allowed it to bo 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--Hogo must have som ot hing; 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 WOP elected, notwith? standing his own earnest conviotion that he could as easily ride on the tale of a,comet without falling off as sit on the Supreme, benoh without making it evident that he was Solomon only fn name. And if Solomon L H?ge did not feel like ? judge, neither did he look like one. About him there were "No r yes severe and beard of formal eut." AU that he was he seemed to be : An easy tempered, smooth-faced young man, just, twice sixteen yearn old. On the benoh, sinoe his election in Joly last, Justice Hogs has played dummy with a patienoe whioh should entitle him to draw a foreign mission in the "Grant American "Gift Enterprise" at Washington. The feelings, however, of the new fledged jus? tico were not pleasant. The day might ooma when he would be obliged te open his judicial mouth. And--what then ? So he {finad for Bowen, alf bed fer Whittemore, and, like Rachel mourning for her children, would not bi comforted. Justice Hog? sc? oured, at the first opportunity, the Radical nomination for Congress In the Third Dls triot, and waa defeated handsomely by Mr. Reed, who carried th? distriot by 8008 ma? jority. This waa net to be endured, Jus? tice Hog?, though ao judge of law, was a good juc?ge of ?vidence when such willing witnesses as K. K. Soot f, Governor, could be examined. Reams of paper were cov? ered with wondrous stories of rebel out? rages, rebel threats, and rebol intimidation. There was not a vestige of truth in it. The truth would not have suited a Badioal Con? gressional Committee. A resolution was adopted by Congress that the claim of any person disqualified by the Fourteenth Con? stitutional Amendment should not be consid? ered without the further orders of tho House. This threw out Mr. Reed until his disabili? ties oould be removed. The next step was to declaro that H?ge had Aprima 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 BO freely made that the Radical party-Scott, Corbin & Co. Bent him to Congress beoaUBe they feared that he would repeat the judgment of Solo? mon with modern variations. And it also disproves the statement that the Radioals felt that, as the unconstitutionality of a trio of their laws was coming up for d?cision, it waa necessary to have a figure on the ap? pellate benoh that oould 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 knew nothing of the law. And yet this skeptioal public, whioh will not be convinced, explains the whole transact ion. by declaring j that H?ge was eleoted judge because he was no lawyer, and will take bis seat in Congress because his Demooratio opponent was elec? ted. As for the publio praise whioh H?ge ex? pects-wo wish that he may get it. Tue Aube-rllle Negro Militia. We have at present no later news from Abbeville in regard to the oalling out 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 colored 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 Soon as the arms arrive negro companies are expected to be formed in every district in the State. ? .i ea? II . Tun ANDERSON INTELLIGENCER says: "The Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel calls "the attention of planters and others to the "fact that the cotton tax was not repealed, "but rt&lf suspended so far as the crop of "1868 wuB concerned, and Bays that it is "well to bear this fact in mind when <pitoh " <ing' the new orop. We think our contem? porary is mistaken, and that the aot of Con "gress provides that all cotton grown after "1668 be exempted from tax." I The Intelligencer in right. The law re? ferred to was passed at thc second seeeion of the Fortieth Congress, and exempts from internal tax all cotton grown in the 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 bis neighborhood have broken their contracts and gone to Abbeville Courthouee for the purpose of enlisting in a military organisation, at a pay of fifteen dollars per month. l?t Sole.
