Tlfe New York" Timos' correspondent states authoritatively that .' the Administration had not the slightest intention ct resorting to immediate hoe tihtiesj and will not adopt ^a belligerent attitude without tho gravest provocation.

Although we are not by any means so enfeebled aa to shrink from a contest if forced upon us, BtiU every effort will be used! io steer clear of foreign complication until our great indebtedness his become more manage-, able, and until the way towards specie pa;-; ments has been cleared. It is stated on the authority of one of the secretaries that the Ex- : ecu ti ve is now extremely anxious in reference to the point made by far. Sumner io his speech as to what constitutes a blockade. Bot Mr. | Sumner's argument as a whole is not by any means the reflex of the views of the President and Cabinet." President Wool ser recently said in a lecture at Tale College that war ie not justified in the case of the Alabama until the British Government refuse to submit the question to a proper tribunal, and one satis? factory to the United States. Up to that point it is purely a question of a peaceful nature. CHARLESTON. SATURDAY MORNING, MAY 29, 1869. Tate State Debt According to the report made by the Comptroller-General to the General Assem- < bly, the debt of the State of South Carolina on October lat, 1868, was as follows : ?. Three per cent, stock.$ 88,838 60 Six per cent, (?re loan) stock . .. 314.453 89 Six per cent. (State House) stock. 2,286,600 00 Six per cent, bonds and stocks.... 1,282.971 77 Fire per cent, (fire loan) bonds... 484.444 51 Six per cont. ( Blue Rid ge Railroad) bonds. . 1,000,000 00 15,407,806 27 Interest overdue to date and un . paid.~ 484,791 SS $5.842,097 79 Bonds issued January 1,1869, to redeem bills of the Bank of the State. 1,688,980 00 Total debt at date.:. $6.875.997 79 The State has assets of the nominal Taint of $2,764,660, which may one day produce $100,000* or $2tJ.O00; so that we have practically to meet the interest on, and provide for the payment of, nearly $7,000,000. As security for {his debt we have real and personal property to the amount of $200,000,000; property which is increasing ira Taine every day and will ba worth half a* much again as soon as the Radical snake ls scotch ed or killed outright. This ii an ample margin, and makes it seem unreasonable thai the ?ix per oent. honda of th? 8tate Bhould sell at 75, at whioh raia they will pay 7J per oent on the invest? ment. Arrangements have been made, WO believe, for th? payment of th? interest da? - T-j isne?a?l??V ?. ??. I MM hat-1 -". continue to be paid, not by new loans, but by th? proceeds of taxation- . On? of two* considerations must then be the cause of the want, of confidence in our State securities. Sh? capitalist either doubts th? good faith.of oar people or fears that our Radical government wHl pile ap the debt so high as to bankrupt the Stat?. In regard to the first of ties? considera? tions, it may be said unequivocally that there will be no repudiation of the State debt of Sooth Carolina. We were forced by the sword of th? enemy to repudiate th? war debt of the State, a thing whioh th? people still regard with a feeling of wounded pride; but no power, short of an invading anny? ona oompel tho State to slough off th? debt whioh she now owes. Li regard to th? constitutionality of the act of Assembly suthorixing th? issn? of hoads in exchange for the bills of the Bank of the Stat?, there is a wide difference of opinion; bot business sense and commercial acumen will prevent any attempt to repudiate even these bonds, because, to taint a part of the debt is to oast suspicion on the whole. In getting rid of $1,000,000 we should impair the raia? or $6,000,000, and make it im? possible to obtain ? loan at re aa enable rates, whatever our necessities. We, therefore, tah? it for granted that every dollar of the present State debt will be promptly and faithfully paid-not by the Radicals, bot by the anti-Badioal party, which will, be? fore two years are over, control and govern the State. The second consideration-that the Rad? icals will run up a debt so large that it can? not be -paid-i B far more gra v e. They hare bot one object, and that is to make money and make it q uiokly ; nor will any one doubt that the whale party .would willingly ran up our debt to $20,000,000, if by so doing they could feather their own foul nesta. But public plundering on a large soale is the privilege of the few who sit in high plaoes. The orowds who ope their mouths 'and cry have naught but the crumbs and ecrapa. They are jealous and noisy, and will oppose any Boheme for largely increasing the State debt, uniese they mny have a finger in the pie. Whether the State debt, then, is to be enlarged, depends on the willing? ness of the aroh-piokpockets to share the plunder with the mob. We believe that th? head men oan make as muoh as they desire without doing this. They will take the trimmings and pickings of railroad bills and appropriation bills. This may and . should satisfy their appetite, and as there is still some power in public opinion the General Assembly may be persuaded to come to a full stop and let the debt alone. It is olear enough, then, that our State debt is well seemed, and just as ?lear that our State securities will not command their full prioe as long as the Radicals rule the State. Every man who owns State securi? ties, or who pays taxes, is interested in the downfall of South Carolina Radicalism. How muoh is he interested ? The amount of his interest ia the differenee between 75 and .96 aa the Belling prioe of the State six per cents, and between ?ne-half of one per cent, or one-third of one per oent. and three fourth? of one per oent. as the yearly tax upon his property. The Cry tor ??Protection." The Paris Cosmopolitan regards the ory hero for protection as humiliating, and says I indignantly : There is something offensive in this word "protection" to a self-reliant and independent people. To ask for pro? tection of any sort is a sign of weakness, 9i inferiority. Ihfanls require protection, and women used to want protectors. Small and feeble States, called by courtesy 'powers/' also hare to be protected by their superiors. But when a great nation clamors to have its productions, agricultural or mechanical, protected by tariffs, it oats a sorry figure in the eyes of all the world by confessing its inability to oops with its .rirais. We do not understand how a proud aad independent American oan read the daily appeals of the New York Tribune, and other high-tariff organs, for "protection," without a blush of shame or a flush of in? dignation. Protection against whom or what? The labor, skill, capital, or soil of j other countries? Ridiculous nonsense, monstrous injustice ! Amerioa needs no protection, and her legislators should proud? ly spurn the narrow-minded, illogical, il? liberal, and humiliating idea. Whatever America cannot make, or produce, better and oheaper than any other nation, let her take those articles of commerce from others in exchange for her own unrivalled pro? ducts or fabrics. The doctrine of protection lacks the first element of justice; in plain English, it is downright robbery. To pro? tect one man's business, be he farmer or manufacturer, you must tax another's. If j the New E agi and cotton spinners must be protected or subsidised by the government, why not the Southern cotton grower ? This old tariff quarrel had much more to do in bringing about the late civil war than the slavery question; and we regret to say that the fight is still going on. We regret j still more that the present party in power j in the United States hold to the protection dogma as one of its corner-stones. This, if j no other causes were at work, will, sooner or later, seal the fate of the Republican party. It is based on a falsehood, and, therefore, it oannot long endure. On turn? ing te France, we are still more surprised to find a party clamoring for protection, for the repeal of the (comparatively) free-trade treaty with England. The movement origi? nated with a few selfish manufacturers, led off by a Rouen deputy, largely interested in cotton mills, we believe. A committee of the Corps L?gislatif has got the matter under their consideration. We trust there ' is too much wisdom and logio in the legis? lature of France to listen to the interested appeals of the protectionists, who are not .shamed to confess th it they oannot com? pete with England in the manufacture of j certain article?. Then let them go to Eng? land for these articles, and pay for them in their duty-free wines, gloves, jewelery, and articles de Paris. Free trade is the j gospel of commerce, the sal va ti on of nations. And yet, thus far, the most advanced gov? ernments hare only approached iL - ? i ea> i ? Renews.

May 8 a tut h Imo YOU OUGHT TO INSURE Iff THE CHARLESTON BRANCH LIFE ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA, FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS : 1st Because it is a home Institution mintged and controlled by your own citizens. 2d. Because it ls the only monied institution of the kind that loon s its funds tn the States from which they are derived. 3d. Because it ie purely mutual; all policy holders share in its profits or earnings. Its large and in? creasing assets belong exclusively to the policy holder*. 4th. Because iterates are lewer than those of most other companies. And ita dividends will be larger. 5th. Because It Invests its funds at rates of interest averaging ten per cent, while Eastern comp iniea' rates average less than seven per cent This makes the dividends of the Associ?t on larger and the rates of premium smaller. One hundred dollars Improved at six per cent for fifty years will amount to $1,84201. The same amount Invested at ten per cent, will pro* duce $11,739 09. Difference in favor of the ten per cent investment $9,897 08. 6th. Because you ought to insure ina successful in? stitution, and the Lite Association of America ls ac knowledged by its enemies a? well as its friends to be by far the most successful life insurance institu? tion of its age in the United States.
