RADICAL RULE IN CHARLESTON. A Northern Man Talks ont in Meeting An extract from a private letter from Charles ton, printed in the Hartford Times, paints, In gloomy colors, the picture of Radical rule In Charleston. The writer is a Northern mun who probably was able to obtain information denied to thc Southern public. Certainly thc story of the claim for the $3000 is news to us; hut there is no exaggeration in the general statement of the manner in tvhich the people are robbed and oppressed. Thc letter isas follows : You have seen lt stated that tho Legislature of this State had passed an enactment to pay the interest on certain claims in coin, it a au only a specimen of the general way in v. men this silent and uncomplaining people are rob? bed by the Northern carpet-baggers who have been made their rulers. Claims against the State were bought up quietly by Scott, the Governor, who then bad them funded. (He and his Legislature arc in harmony, and the plunder is sometimes divided.) Then he had a law passed to make the interest payable in coin. Scott has made a good thing out of it. The Legislature subsequently passed an act compelling insurance companies out of the State to buy $50,000 of these bonds and put them in the treasury as security. It war a good operation for Soott again. I send you an official schedule of our city taxation-the printed returns for the last fiscal year, made up to the 1st of September. The nue on real estate is 2i per cont. The total city tax, you will see, amounts to ?651,881 02. Oj this amount ?.*>00,519 75 is (??rived from real estate. Of bonds, ?c., returned for taxa? tion, the amount was only SI,'271.371, and thc tax assessed was $0350 85; the tax on dogs, 2 per cent., yielding $1022; on sales of goods, of all kinds, $ per cent., $5!?,:u"; sales on cotton, 4 per cent, $21,633;an income tax, 3 per cent., $7379; receipts at cotton presses. 3 per cent., $1283; sales of stocks and bonds, j, $1931: and so on. through the long dismal chapter. It all comes on real estate, which pays about live sixths of the city taxes levied upon Charleston under this nondescript rule of mil. nig. What a story for business and money in the South ! Why. sir, on the top of all this city tax there ls a Stotetax of$l 20 additional-by which $20, 000 pays $740 taxes ! Gentlemen, yon don't know much about the negro government to which we are subjected. The negroes and scalawags i:: the city coun? cils frequently have knock-downs and pistol fights at the regular sessions of the board. I am not a Charlestonian, and no Charlestonian ever has a word of complaint. But it makes the blood of any honest Northern man boil with indignation to see how these people are pun? ished, meanly, cowardly, and In the true Radi? cal style of vengeance, arter they had once Laid down their arms like men and accepted the resuit of the war. They are plundered, and robbed,ami insulted. Why, the Common Coun? cil of Charleston don't pay an aggregate tax of one hundred dollars, all told ! It is a fact. There are pleuty of houses here that you can Teat for the taxes. Only bind yourself to the taxes, and you will have no other rent to pay. It is robbery and plunder; and a horde of carpet-baggers and negroes are sucking the life-blood ol' the people, as a wolverine sucks the blood of a deer that he has fastened upon. We hold ou silently, while they rob right and left. Tour people in New York and Connecti -eut have*but a faint idea of the reality. Rills amounting to $3000 not long ago came before the City Council. "Why," said a rebel mem? ber, "I remember that these have all been paid by a former vote," naming tho time. "Dat no matter," said Mr. Squash, "dey is bill and dey muss be paid." And tho vote actually passed paying them all thc second time, and the money was obtained on them. It is about the same in the Legislature. There, not long ago, a bill came tip lo pay Borne tailor $800 for merchandise and work. It was found to be "loyal,-' and at once passed. It proved to be $10 for a jacket for Ctesar. $15 for pants for Cuff, $6 for new a hat lor Pomp, and so on, all the way through-it was for clothing^ the negro members and their coloredA friends. ' Is lt any wonder that such a fellow as Whit temore, the Rev. carpet-bagger who "repre? sents" the Darlington District in Congress, after skinning his negro friends and sending home $10,000 In one package bv express from Florence, S. C., to Boston, should be able to ride vs. Glorious "reconstruction !" But there is justice jn Heaven, and it fails not, sooner or later, to vindicate its power in the affairs ot men. COMMERCIAL NEWS.

January 29.-TnE MARKET.-lu our last report the market closed dull at 25J?c for mid? dling uplands. Saturday thc market was-quiet, some Inquiry from spinners for the high grades at full prices. Sales 2051 bales. Prices unchanged. Monday, under thc light receipts at the ports and favorable accounts from Liverpool, the market was active and prices firmer. Sutes soos bales. Middlings 25'?c. Tuesday, ou more favorable for? eign news, thc market*was active and higher. Sales 4354 bales at 25&C. Wednesday prices were well maintained, and there was an active demand Tor spot and future delivery. Sales 4066 bales at 26&C. Thursday the market was quiet and steady. Sales 3681 bales. Yesterday it was known that thc New Orleans receipts were heavy, which caused dullness. There was but little pressure on the part of holders, but buyers refused to go on at previous rates. Sales 1740 bales at 25??c Oaring the week our market has been active, under an impression that the receipts would show some falling otf. Prices advanced >4'c here, while all the Southern markets were buoyant and fully ?ic higher. When it was known, yesterday, that the receipts were likely to be large, the feeling changed, and thc market closed weak and de? clining, lu Liverpool the sales were large and middling shows j,'d advance on thc week, closing steady. The trade took 59.000 bales, exporters 13,000, and speculators 25,0co. Small Imports and telegrams of moderate receipts caused thc activity in Liverpool. To day wc hear that the Import, at the close of the week was unsually heavy, which, with the large receipts and exports hence, have caused that market to decline l-l?da't'd to-duy. The faith of the Southern people lu higher prices is croat, and thc large receipts do not appear to have auy cifect on prices there. In fact, the or? ders io buy cotton in this market for future de? livery on Southern account, have been more nu? merous than ever. Their conlldence appears to bc based on thc opinion that less cotton remains on thc plantations now than at same time last year. Whether that opinion ls correct or not time will show. BOMBAY.-The latest advices from India about the crop are not so favorable, and the excess now expected ls about 2oo,oou to 200,000 bales. The exports of December were 26.000 bales, against 54,000 bales In 1SC9 to Great Iti itnln. And our regular telegram from James Finlay A Co. re? ports the shipments for thc tlrst three weeks of January nt cooo bales, against 42,ooo in .all Janu? ary, i860. This delay is caused partly by the lateness of thc crop, and partly by the decreased stock at Bombay. Fair new Oom ra was quoted at 10','d via Suez, and at iud rta the Cape. CpFd A Fla. Mobile. N. O.

That any sick man snrvlvcd the treatment o? fifty years ago, must be consklercd a proof that human beings are very hard to kill. The lancet, calomel, canthartdes and drastic pur? gatives were then the order of tlte day. The phy? sician played into the hands of the apothecary, and the unfortunate patient was drenched morn? ing, noon and night with prostrating medicines. We live in a more rational and conscientious era. The importance of supporting Nature In Its conflict with disease is now understood. * Complaints ID themselves weakening are no longer aggravated by artificial depletion. They arc met with TONICS that rally the vital powers and enable them to de? feat the enemy. Chief among these allies of Na? ture, in Its battles with sickness, Lo PLANTATION BITTERS. This wonderful vegetable restorative ls thc sheet anchor of thc feeble and debilitated. As a cordial for the aged and decrcpld it has noci.ua: among Btnniacltlcs. As a remedy forthcnpr\i;t> weak ?esa to whit !i the lender sex arc especially sr.hjveti it ls superseding every oilier stitnulaiii nm! nervine. In all climates, tropical, temperate or fr;:iii, It acts ::s a specific in every species ?>f dtsonlc: which undermines the bo?Mly strength and breaks down thc animal spirits. Wherever it ls Introduced lt becomes a standard article -a medicinal staple. Druggists, although their profit upon it is small, lind it absolutely necessary to keep a preparation mr which everybody Inquires, and for which nobody will accept a substitute, it ls to-day thc most popular medicine in the civilized world. Extensively as lt is advertised, i;s best ad? vertisement is the beneficial result which uniformly follows Its use. Every bottle sohl In? sures the s;i!e of at least half a dozen moro. Un? like other stimulants, lt braces and fortifies thc system without, exciting undue cerebra; action. The cheering effect which it produces upon the mind Is not momentary, but permanent. There ts no subsequent depression. It does not, ns ii the case with all other stimuli, beget a craving for ex citants. On the other hand, lt soothes and cairns the nerves, combining, ?t rangeas the anomaly may seem, inequalities of a sedative and geDtle ano dyne with those of a tonic and iavigorant. The perfect purity of all its ingredients, tlieb admirable adaptation to the purposes they are intended to '_subscrve, the judicious pro portions in which they are combined, and the scientific skill with which ?hey arc Wend ed, render this famous article at once the most potent and thc most harmless of all known tonics and alteratives.
