Dealers report encour? aging od vices from their correspondents in all parts or the country now, and throughout May Brisk times are anticipated all around." ! -T?e Dawson, Georgia, Journal says: "We 1 have In Dawson four Albinos, aged respectively from about four to ten years. Tue parents of these children are very black, especially the father, the mother being a little the brightest of the two. If we have been correctly informed, the mother has given birth to seven children; the three first born are as black as the parents: while the last four are unnaturally white, with long flaxen hair as soft as down. They do not con? verse very fluently-seem to be somewhat absent? minded, and are ordinarily intelligent. They see better at night than in daytime. We learn that when the first white child was boru, the father was rather inclined to disown it, but satisfac? tory reasons having been given by physicians, he became reconciled, and ls now very proud of all his children, notwithstanding the contrast in their color, and has been offered large suras of money for the white ones for public exhibition.'* The People's Bank. We doubt whether there is any city in the United States in which banking capital can be steadily employed with more safety and wore profit than in Charleston. The close of the war found the State without auy bank? ing capital, and the establishment of the two National banks and the Loan and Trust Company, and a revival of the People's, the Union, and other State banks, do not give this city more than one-tenth of the capital it requires. In 1860 South Carolina had about $11,000,000 of banking capital; now ?ve have about S2,000,000. And we need more capital now than we did'?eu years ago, for the reason that the currency value of the cotton crop ia more than doubled, and the ?eld of our business operations is both larger ir.d more remote. What capital has been painfully accumulated by the people of the State has -passed, for the most part, into buildings, stock and implements; the re? mainder is gradually finding employment in railroads, in factories, and iu our banks. But if we would have our commerce increase with rapidity, we must add, with rapidity, to >ur commercial capital. Upon this depends ihe measure of our business progress. And we firmly believe that if the; advantages of r>ur position are set forth in the proper way, we shall have no serious difficulty in obtain? ing, at home and abroad, the monetary cap? ital we require. To this end every effort should be directed, for upon our success in this p lticular depends, in a very large de? cree, our prosperity and wealth. The People's Bank, one of the most re? spectable of our financial institutions, is now tn the market for an increase of capital. " In .heir statement of assets and liabilities, sub? mitted last week, the directors show a clear surplus of abont$250,000, making the shares if the bauk worth $6 25. At this rate the trank will buy these shares, and will issue felly paid up shares of S25 each at par. The ?bject of this proposition is to bring up the bank capital to its old amount, $1,000,000. SVe ueed; hardly say that a capital of one million dollars can be handled with much less proportionate expense than a capital of on? quarter of that sum, and the success which- bas attended the operations of the People's Bank indicates that an increase of capital will make it remarkably profitable to the stockholders, as weil as a substantial ad? vantage to the whole mercantile commu? nity. The gentlemen who have the affairs of the People's Bank in keeping are well known in Charleston, and some of them enjoy a high reputation in the North and iu England. Slr. Laiitte,. the president of the bank, is a taoncier of great experience and ripe abili? ty,' and among the directors are chosen rep? resentatives of every ctas3 of mercantile and lommercial interest. The People'? Bank is already strong in public esteem, and an in? crease of capital sufficient to give it a larger scope will undoubtedly make it oue of the very first, in profit and standing, of our banking ? us lit ut io ns. A Practical Proposition. During the session of the Immigration Convention yesterday, thc Hon. Geo. A. Trenholm stated that the South Carolina Railroad Company were williug lo bestow upon immigrants alternate sections of land3 belongiug to the company,' and that the com? pany would subscribe not exceeding $20,000 for establishing a reliable line of steamships between Charleston and a first-class Euro? pean port. This is a wise a3 well as a practical pro? position. If alternate sections of land be given to trustworthy and industrious immi? grants, tlje value of the reserved sections will be greater than the present value of the whole tract. And besides this, every settler upon the line of the road will add to the passenger and freight business of the com? pany.. The South Carolina Railroad i3 on the right track. Let us push things ! .?'.". ? A Cat in tlie Meal Tab. - The Radical Reviler states, upou authori? ty, that the Land Commission has bought 78,000 acres of land at an average of $5 75 an ??fe. Any calculating machine will work this out The lands cost, upon authority, $?13,500 in currency. But tbs funds of the Land Commission were in State bonds, and if theso were sold at eighty cents, the lands cost $500,000 in bonds. But thc amount appropriated for the Land Commission was only $200,000, and the Land Commission is, upon authority, in debt to the tune of $360,000. The General Assembly at ?ts last session appropriated live hundred thousand dollars more for tho Land Commission ; and if out of this be taken the amount overdrawn, or the debt, upon the first appropriation, the amount of bonds left in the bauds of Laud Commissioner DeLarge for fresh purchases is only about $140,000. Phew ! A QUESTION for the State Treasurer: If jut of an appropriation, for thc Land Com? mission, of $200,000, the sum of $500,000 was spent, how much can be spent upon the credit of the new appropriation of $500,000 ? BY what authority did the Land Commis? sion spend $500,000 out of an appropriation of $200,000. Governor Scott, if president of the Advisory Board, will please reply. No WONDER thatSenator Cain is indig nant ! Commissioner Leslie had thc spending of [5560,080, and Commissioner DeLarge will lave the spending of only SUO.OOO. Go to tho Con vent lon, The diligence, practical spirit and libera! Heeling of the State Immigration Convention* augur well for the result of its deliberations. The members have come from the most dis? tant counties of tho State, as well as from gallaut Georgia, to attend the convention, and they.are working zealously and steadily for the permanent advantage of South Caro? lina and the South. To-day the proceedings of the cony?ntion will be highly .ntcrcsting, and will ife witnessed, we trust, by a large number of people. The dress circle and balcony chairs are devoted to lady visitors, aud ample preparations are made for the ac? commodation of a crowd of sight-seers, as well a9 for the friends of the delegates and citizens in general. Radical Principles. The white people of theSCate acknowledge the civil a^d political equality of the white anil black races, and because they do thisr the Radical Revilers declare that the whites have adopted Republican, principles, and might just aa well, with a good face, become open members of the Rt publican party. But tho white-people of South Carolina, while they recognise the law and submit to the constitution, do not accept the principles of the Republican party of South Carolina. In this State, Republicanism is not Equal Rights, Free Speech, and Low Taxation. As interpreted by its leaders, Republican? ism, in South Carolina, is Dishonesty, Fraud and Corruption. The Republicans, as a body, may be upright and straightforward, but their spokesmen and leaders are knaves, ragamuffins, and worse. Their "principles" are Robbery and Plunder, aud these are the '.principles" which the friends of Reform must fight tootb aud nail, until victory is won. Wheu the "principles" of the oracles of South Carolina Radicalism are Truth and Integrity, it will be time enough to? ask de-1 cent men to smirch their fingers w:lia the rot? tenness of the Scott party. The Robertuon Amnesty Bill. The Amuesty bill introduced in the United) States Senate by Senator Robertson, of this State, relieves of their political disabilities all persons except those comprised in the three following classes: ''First. All persons who, being members of | the Congress of the United States, withdrew from their seats and aided the rebellion. "Second. AU persons who, toing o?iccrs of the army or navy of thc United Sutes, left said army or navy and aided thc rebellion. "Third. All persona who wore members of State Conventions which adopted pretended ordinances of secesslou." These are expected to amount ' in all to about one thousand persons, aud upon this point the New York Tribune says: "We " submit that their exception at this time " will only provoke an agitation for a furth " er amnesty, wherein the opposition is sure " to be the losiug side in the end. We be " lieve it bad policy to make two bites of a " cherry when you are sure to eat the whole " of it sooner or later." But Mr. Greeley must not forget that one bite at a cherry is better than*no cherry at all. A GOOD many shrewd and observant col? ored folks would like the trumpeters of Scott and his rascally Ring, who were lately so sorely exercised about the Firemen's Parade, to explain why, ot all thc gang of white Radicals who have gobbled every ollice jwbrth having, only a beggarly trio were to Tte seen in the Fifteenth amendment proces? sion yesterday. Are they always ashamed of the black people except when election day comes round ? (lopartnersrjip Notices.
