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.

Easton & Co.'s Cotton Report, for thc
Week Ending January 28, 1S70.
NEW" YORK. 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.

A GLORIOUS CHANGE.
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.
