The duty of energetic ac? tion is unpressed upon the assessors. -In New York, on Wednesday, the Repub Ucan State Convention nominated a ??l ticket for State officers to be elected this fall, headed by George William Curtis as candidate for Sec? retary of State. Resolutions were adopted in favor of equal suffrage to aU people, without distinction of race or color; in f?Vor of the Fif teentb. amendment; sympathizing with all 0im? pressed people everywhere; sympathizing with the people of Cuba in their efforts to relieve themselves from the yoke of a government in which they have no representation; in favor of the payment of the national debt in full in coin; denouncing all schemes or pretexts for repu? diation in every form, and denouncing corrupt legislation and corruptlonlsts. -The Washington Chronicle of Saturday .ays: "The efforts that have been made to in? duce foreign emigration to the Southern States have been quite successful. An agent at present In Sweden has Just forwarded a com? pany smmbering upwards of 100, whose dest: naflbnTa Vater Valley, Miss. Many of them are mechanics, and have secured employment in advance on thc Mississippi railroads. The agent grites that he was only two weeks in collecting this party. He says that any num? ber of valuable emigrants can be secured for the South there by sending over agents to make proper representations to them. They know but little about the South, and need Informa? tion. But when they arrive at New York, without previous arrangements, lt ls almost impossible to divert them from the great cur? rent going westward.'' -General Lew Wallace-who ls to some extent responsible for the fact that Americans invested In them-ls out in an interesting and bitter tetter in regard to the present financial standing ot the Mexican bonds and the causes that brought about their depreciation in value. After regretting the part he took in the mat? ter, he says that the whole trouble rose out of the general dishonesty of the Mexicans, and particularly out of the fact that General Carva? jal, the commissioner who Issued the bonds, is no longer in power, and that he has been suc? ceeded bySenor Romero-upon whom and his peculiar financial transactions General Wallace is quite severe. He concludes by advising all holders of the bonds to hold on tc them, and hints at hostilities if they are not paid "dollar for dollar." "This Is the last summer of for? bearance for Mexico," Is his mysterious lan? guage; which may mean a declaration of war, filibustering expeditions, or "personal satis? faction," as the bondholder or reader may pre? fer. Meanwhile, happy is the man who didn't invest at sixty cents in the ..securities of the Republic," uow worth ten cents on thc dollar, with tempting looking rows of coupons unpaid. Thc New*. To-day THE NEWS goe3 forth to its thou? sands of readers throughout South Carolina and the adjoining States iu a new and more attractive dress. A brighter day, we hope and believe, is dawning for our impoverish? ed community ;? and itsrepr - ntative jour? nal means to keep pace la ?ry respect with the spirit of improvement u id progress which is so pleasantly risible all around us. Our aim is to give to the public the freshest, liveliest and most enterprising, as well as the cheapest paper in the South ; and we shall spare no labor or expense to make THE NEWS a necessity in every well-ordered household, at least in our own State. Our system of correspondence from the various county towns, already far more complete than any newspaper in South Carolina has ever before enjoyed, will keep our readers fully and accurately informell of everything of public consequence tua* takes place at home; while capable and wide-awake re? porters, hotii at the State and National Capitals, will be vigilant in watching, and prompt in telegraphing to THE NEWS, what? ever of special interest may occur in thuse centres. These arrangements, of course, will be independent of, and in addition to, our general news telegrams from the Asso? ciated Press. We take this occasion to return our warm thanks to the friends of THE NEWS who, iu every portion of the State, have given so substantial and flattering a recognition of its merits, and to assure them that we shall be untiring in our efforts to make it, in the future, yet more worthy of their confidence and support. "Accepting the Situation." The difference between the Republic of Washington and Jefferson, and the central? ized despotism of the preseut day, is not greater than the difference between the Radical and Anti-Radical significance of the well-worn phrase-"Accepting the Situ on the lips of Radical orators, and as a panacea for all our ills it is the theme of daily disquisitions in the Radical party journals. Morn, noon and night, with mo? notonous sameness, the words are dinned in Southern ears. There is but one varia? tion in the ghastly psalmody. At one mo? ment the South is cursed and reviled be? cause it does not "accept the situation;"? moment later, and long ages of fruitfulness and abundance are promised to the South if it only will do what Radicalism desires*. And yet, in the face of alternate wheedling and denunciation, we know, and the Radicals know, that our people do "accept the situa? tion," and have done so eyer since the fatal morn when the ruddy cross and gleaming stars faded from the Banner of the South, and nothing remained to us but the pallid standard which heralded the advent of a hollow truce-of a peace more hideous than war. The Southern people fought and were de? feated, and they submit to the inevitable con? sequences of their defeat. They acknow? ledge that slavery is dead. They acknowledge that the reconstruction governments of the Southern States are valid governments. They acknowledge, without reservation, that the reforms we need must be obtained by peaceful agencies alone-by the ballot, and not by the bullet. In a word, the Southern people take things as they are and make the l>est of them, and in this sense do "accept the situation." This, Jiowever, will not satisfy the Radi? cals in any Southern State; and still less will it satisfy them in South Curoiina, where they rave and fret as though no hour of reckoning would come. They demand that we hug the chains with which our limbs are sore; that we braud ourselves traitors and rebels; that we shame tho living and dishonor the dead; that we cringe and kneel and lick the dust-only too happy if allowed to unloose the latchet of a Radical shoe. Nor i3 this all. They demand that in accept? ing the State government as a legal govern? ment, we accept, as models of purity and ability, its every official, from the highest to the lowest ; that we accept, without remon? strance, as right and just, every law that our mongrel Legislature may be pleased to pass; that we accept every decision of an ignorant and incompetent judge ns rina! and irrevocable; that we refrain from murmur? ing uuder the load of local taxation; that we accept as perfect every part of the machinery of our government; that we do not criticise or change any existing law, or attempt to oust from his seat any of the corrupt and rapacious office-holders who grow thLand insolent at the expense of our straggling people. They demand that we swallow Southern Radical? ism, with all its crimea and follies on its head; and. until this is done, they contin? ually will cry that the South is rebellious and will not "accept the situation." And the Southern Radicals' may hoot and yell until they are hoarse. Our people 3 ield a ready obedience to the Constitution of the State and the law of the land. They trust to time to remove the evils which restrain their growth and retard their progress. But they never will call black white, the unclean clean, the corrupt pure; and never, as it is understood by the Southern Radical, wiU they "accept the situation." Thc Coming Opera Season. With the completion of our new Opera ?ouse we ure promised a series of operatic ingagements, which bid fair to render the ?ming amusement season itv far the most brilliant and attractive that tins city lias mown for many a year. Pul ?lie entertain nents of a high order have uniformly met with i liberal support at the hands of our commu? nity, even in the tightest of Ute tight times from which we are uow at last emerging; ind it is safe to predict that no well-organ? ized and really meritorious opera company that visits Charleston this fall and winter lie it English, French, German or Italian will have cause for complaint, either in re? spect to the eclat or profit of its reception. The Galton English Opera Troupe, under the auspices of Manager Ford, of Baltimore, will probably be the first to appear amongst us, though we are not definitely informed as to the time of its coming. The irrepressible Grau, we notice, nothing daunted by his sad fiasco last spring, is again flourishing his baton at the Stadt Theatre, New York, and has rallied around him a ven* respectable corps of German artists, with Fretlerici and Rotter as prima donnas, preparatory to a winter campaign in the South. Brignoli, the silver voiced, encouraged by the success of Iiis recent concert tour, has also organ? ized a capital company, to include our own Carolina prima donna, Miss Mcculloch, (whose voice and acting, we hear, are vastly improved since site performed in Charleston eighteen months ago.) Susini, the basso. Petrilli, the baritone, and other eminent singers, with a good orchestra and chorus. Brignoli is anxious to have the opening of the new Opera House, but it is yet uncertain whether the requisite arrangements can be made in time. Madame Parepa-Rosa, with her English Opera Company, is prepar? ing to pay us a visit some time in January: Carlotta Patti, who is now creating a furore among the Gothamites, and who, in the opinion of the American public, seems to be the peer of her famous sister, the Marquise De Caux, will also be here, and we are to have, besides, a short season of French opera by a company now tilling an engage? ment at the Now York Academy of Music. These are but a few of tito entertainments in store for amusement seekers in our city: but the list will be quite enough to convince our country friends that Charleston, Hie foremost city on the Southern Atlantic seaboard, is henceforth going to be a lively place. That's a settled fact. Thc Agricultural Fair. The prospects of the first annual Fair of the State Agricultural Society, to be held in Columbia next month, arc not as bright as we would wish. In the middle und upper counties an active interest is taketi in the project, but in the tide-water region there has been little public evidence of a due ap? preciation of the importance of the under? taking. The. Agricultural Fair, pro|>erly managed and properly supported, may be made the means of instilling new life into our agricultural and Industrial systems. Its influence aud practical value must, how ?vcr, bc lessened if any important section of the State keeps itself iu the background. With? out a full exhibition of the producta of the low country, the State Fair cannot be the MiiMvmorii supone which it Ls exopcted and desired to be, anti we urge our readers on the coast, and on the islands, to go to work at once to secure their section a proper representation. One word as to Charleston. This city de? pends on the interior of South Carolina for its m03t profitable trade. The fortunes of Charleston are intimately connected witli the prosperity of the middle and upper counties, which send their cotton to our market, and fill our streets with their mer? chants and business men. This our factors and merchants know ami feel. But some? thing more than the knowledge and the feeling is needed ; and we ask, what will our citizens do to enable the first Agricultural Fair to surmount eveiy obstacle and become a true exponent of the material resources of the State? We know that our merchants and factors are interested in the Fair. The question now is-how much? RADICALISM in Tennessee has died the j death. Last week we noticed the collapse [ of the Memphis Post ; ami now we hear that the Nashville Press and .Mmes, another Radical organ, has followed suit. There now remains not a single Radical daily paper in the Volunteer State, Brownlow'^ Whig, since it was sold by thc Parson, having completely changed its political faith. The other carpet-bag presses throughout the South, now grown so fat and saucy fr^in feeding at the public crib, may here read what will be their own inevitable fate so soon as the robbers and radians who now hold control of these States shall have been-as they assuredly soon must be hurled front power. TUE merchants and planters of Chester? field, at a meeting held on Tuesday last, de? nounced the illicit trudie carried on in seed cotton and other agricultural products. Resolutions were adopted condemning the practice of-purchasing corn and cotton after nightfall, and requesting the Comity Agri? cultural Society to bring the whole subject before the State Society. The County Society was also advised to oner a rewa ni for evi? dence sufficient to convict any person en? gaged in the purchase or sale of stolen pro? ducts. There should be similar action in every county in the State which lias not yet publicly considered this important matter. THE Abbeville Tresa gives notice that a meeting is to be held to-day to nominate Anti-Radical candidates for election to the two vacancies in the Legislature from Abbe? ville County. We doubt not that candidates will be chose:; who can rally to their sup? port the whole Anti-Radical strength of Ab? beville. The Radicals must be defeated on every occasion, if work and intelligence can do it. Indeed, the issues are so plain that there ought to be no difficulty in convincing every honest voter that it is to his interest to fight Radicalism "tooth and nail" when? ever there is a fair opportunity. -v. - . . - THE clear and handsome type with which THE NEWS is printed to-day is from the old and well known New York foundry ol Messrs.
