The canal receipts for eaoa of the two months of December and January last were $800,000, and for February last lt was estima? te d would be over a million. -A Washington telegram of Thursday, to the Baltimore Sun, says: "The financial con , dltion of South Carolina ls such, that a letter received here to-day represents a gowing de sire among the taxpayers to appeal directly to Congress, asking that body to resume con trol of the State and shield the people there from the continuance of a taxation which ls amounting practically to oonflsoatlon, it is proposed to-show that, neither . hostil If y to" the -government nor partisan considerations have anything to do with present troubles there It was noticeable that DeLarge, one of the colored members from South Carolina, appeal ed to the House to-day to grant universal amnesty as the proper couse to restore confi? dence and harmony in the South." -St Louis has been examining into facts in relation to the existence ot the social evil in that city. A committee appointed by the board of health has just reported that when the pre? sent law went Into effect there were seven hun dred and eighteen "unfortunates" in the city Against four hundred and eighty registered, the present number, a decrease of 71 per cent. The report presented other statistics, showing that by placing this unfortunate class of wo? men under the restriction and control of the law, something can be done towards amelio? rating the crime. It seems repulsive, as lt were, to legalize vice, but taking the purely practical and common-sense view, BL Louis appears to have gained by the operation. -The latest crop accounts from England (March 20th,} speak of frost in exposed places f olio wed by a heavy snow storm, which check ed vegetation, injured the young grass abd hindered field work except upon the highest lands. From Belgium. Holland and France there are unfavorable accounts of mischief done to the crops by the remarkable fluctua? tions of March weather. Meat being scarce on the continent, is likely to advance in price, and this will stiffen the demand for bread stuffs, which are very firm, with indications of a rising market Russia alone seems to hu v* ? a surplus, and she will be our very formidable 'Competitor in the English and French mar kets. -Foreign mail advices contain much of in terest regarding the presence ol Napoleon in .England. The London Times cont>*asts his . greeting at Dover with Emperor Wilh?lm's re? ception In Berlin, and says that while the be? havior of the Be ri in ese did credit to the nation and its deep purpose and thoughtful estimate of facts, the popular demonstration at Dover implied ah effusive and unqualified admiration. For six months Louis Napoleon '"has been treated as the scapegoat in a great national ca lamlty. The French sympathizers in this coun? try, conscious of the weakness of the French cause, visited all Its faults on the ex-Emperor's head. They were never weary of stigmatizing and denouncing the detestable results of 'dy? nastic' Ambition. Yet here, when the latest, and probably nor the last, of these results is revealing itself In the prospect of civil war, they surround this very man with passionate acclamations o? sympathy and honor, and give to bim and his 'dynasty' a more enthusiastic .demonstration of welcome than was accorded to the Emperor of Germany at Berlin." -The Washington Patriot says : "The Presi dent's proclamation in regard to South Caro lina was issued without notice to or consulta Uon of any kind with the senators or rep re. sentatives from that State, although -they are all of his party. And there is reason to doubt whether the lorms required by the constitu tion were complied with at all. If Governor Scott made the 'application,' which is a con dltion precedent to the Interposition of Fed? eral authority, there ls no known record of lt. Individuals came to Washington yester? day to speak .In the Governor's name, but with no certified authority, and without any sufficient Investigation the President under? took to brand the character of a sovereign State. It is now certain that he was induced to take steps more for effect in the North lhan for any real or supposed reason in South Caro? lina. It lormed a part of the conspiracy to excite the agi talion concocted by Morton and Butler, which has raged for the last few weeks .in both braueheg of Congress. Wnen gentle? men of the highest character from the district in South Carolina of the alleged disorders have called upon the President to explain to him the real facia and to expose the errors into which he had been misled, he exhibited no willingness to hear the truth or to recede from his harsh action." -The Pall Mall Gazette is curious enough to inquire as to the possibility of Paris getting on without the German population, which they propose to taboo. For instance, there are many avocations in daily life in -which the Germans are generally known to be proficient. These occur mainly among the trades and skilful riiecbAoiofi employments, although there ara other pureuita exacting professional ability in various directions In which the Geri mans may almost be said to be sui generis. To come to the tradespeople and servant class, there are the waiters, the oarers, the shoemakers, the tailors, the makers of scientific instruments-ia all of which em? p?oymenta the Germans take the lead. Paris cannot but miss these elements of her population, and in so doing she will be deprived o? the best workers in these callings. Then, too, as regards musicians not to mention composers-her theatrical or? chestras, her brass bands, and her system of teachers of music, must inevitably suffer and languish with the absence ol the proficient Teutons. On the whole, the question gravely recurs whether Paris will not have some diffi? culty in replacing these rejected members of the German nationalities. How to.reconcile the apparent determination of the people to give no employment to any German, with the other apparent alternative of dispensing with the many products of German skill and Ger? man accomplishments, is almost ai? serious a question, and one requiring quite R3 much del? icate consideration as that which now stares M. Thiers in the face In his current solution ot the Insurrectionary movement in Montmartre. Lieutenant.Governor Rangier a ?( n the Political Situation. Lieutenant-Governor Ransier, one of the most intelligent native colored men now holding office under the State Government, has printed a series of articles, in which he endeavors, with apparent earnestness, to point ont a practicable remedy for the evils which oppress the white people of the State. It is his ostensible desire to bring the whites and blacks together; so that they may feel that they have many interests in common, and may work together for the public good. He does not believe that the white minority can obtain, by force, any valuable conces? sions from the black majority; nor does he believe that the latter will consent to any constitutional change which would, by limiting the suffrage, as in Massachusetts, deprive the greater number of their people of the right to vote. This, we take it, is Mr. Ransier's general position, and it is due to him to say that his opinions are, for the most part, expressed with commendable moderation. Directness and precision of statement are wanting, and there is an occasional flippancy of expression which is out of place in writing upon so grave a subject as the present condition of South Carolina. But, upon the whole, Mr. Ran? sier writes with a discreet reserve, which might be imitated with profit by more tban one of his white associates in political life, j Mr. Ransier sees in an attempt to block the wheels of government by refusing to pay taxes, and ia the effort to limit the suf? frage, nothing more tban new causes of ! anger and discontent. It must be remem? bered, however, that he belongs to the party in power, and to the temporarily dominant race, and that he naturally looks with suspicion and dislike upon any policy whose inevitable effect, if it could be carried out, would be to reduce himself and his colleagues to their original insignificance, and bis race to a votiug minority. Nor can be know, or understand, the feeling of the whites. Thia is painfully evident when he asks if the people pf. South Carolina have lost so much of their .-"independence, intelli "gence, manhood and State pride," that they woulikbe^ the- Federal Government to take charge of the affairs of the State. Of independence, we have none ; wa'are under the heel of the exultant negro. The intelli gence of the whites is at the mercy of the blacks, and only enables the superior'race to feel with keener pain the humiliation of their position. Manhood cannot serve us, un? less in enabling this people to scrape a few dollars together for the benelit of Mr. Ran? sleys party. And what earthly State pride can any South Carolinian have in a Common? weal th-whose despotic rulers are'whites bf the stamp of Crews and Hurley, and blacks litre Mobley and Elliott? .We confess that wfr??o not prefer the rule -of the bayonet tb the reign of civil law. But a military occu? pation, supplanting and superseding the present State Government, would give this whple.people justice and peace. It would put an end to iegisl?t?ve orgies and official corruption. It would limit extravagance and theft. It would make property secure, and reduce the volume of taxation. These, as long as they lasted, would be positive gains. The white people of the State, as far os we know, would gladly welcome the conversion of South Carolina into a military satrapy. But we fear that this door of es? cape is firmly closed. The so-called civil government is likely to stand. How can we make the best of it, strip Radicalism of its most disgusting features, and save the people from beggary? The only remedy suggested by Mr. Ran? sier is explained in the following passages of his concluding article : "Let the leading men of both the white and colored race come together in convention, say each chose one ot their own from each county in the State. Let them meet calmly, discuss the situation, and determine what ls best to be done as to matters of taxation, and tbe gene? ral policy of the administration. In thc first place, let them ask of the administration, in view of the high rate of taxation this year, (or for 1870) the postponement of the collec? tion of the taixes for 1871, which, under the amended act, would occur next November, thus bringing the collection of taxes for 1870 and 1S71 within six months or so ol each other, which Is of vital moment to both classes and all conditions ol our people. In Hie sec? ond place, let them ask o? the Governor ( who appreciates the situation) a certified statement of the public debt up to the latest possible moment, and Invite him and other officers having-the Immediate control of our finances to give their opinion as to our financial con? dition, where benefit is to be derived from the sterling fund act to the State, and as to other matters as may be calculated to Inspire eonfl dence in our securities, and thus satisfy those of our moneyed men?t home and abroad, and give such other guarantees as will secure confidence In the ability aud willingness of the administration to protect life and property iu the State. Ia thc third plaee, let them consider the militia organizations, propose such amendments to the militia law as may be deemed advisable, and recommend upon all other matters-the powers and dulles o? coun? ty commissioners, &c, as in their wi3dom may seem to call for amendments, corrections, ftc. Some such thing will, in my humble judgment, accomplish moro substantial good than a con? viction of "taxpayers," or ot the whites ex? clusively, or any of the many plans suggested; and I most respectfully ask my white and colored friends, and the people ol both classes, to consider these suggestions, which do not involve the political opinions o? any one, or necessarily-des troy the organization, of one or the^ther r?Htlcarparty.'' ~. ' The reasons, why such a Con ven ti on can? not, with advantage, beheld at this time, are very plain. Already the different counties are acting apon the recommendations of the Chamber of Commerce and Board of Trade, of ?rte city, and are electing their delegates to the Convention of Taxpayers, which will meet in Columbia in May. The most press? ing grievances of the people are those con? nected with Debt and Taxation. These, in their direct action, affect the property-hold? ers alone. And ninety-nine one-hundredths of the property in the State is held by while men. It waa advised, therefore, that the properiy-holders, ? e. the taxpayers, should take counsel together, and endeavor to find a way out of the difficulties which aurroond them. To change thia Convention into a Convention of "leading men of both the "white and colored race," would, in out judgment, make the whole affair a failure. There would be talking and apeech-makiog, but no business-like handling of the ques? tions which moat concern the people. In? stead of a meeting of property-holders and taxpayers, we should have a political can? eas. We do, however, think it highly impor? tant that the May Convention should take up two, at least, of the auggeBtions con-, tained in Mr. Ranaier's letter. The Conven? tion may with perfect propriety invite the Governor to postpone the collection of the tax of 1871 until the usual time-March, 1872. Thia should be pressed upon the Ex? ecutive at once, and his reply will determine the next step to be taken.. It ia equally necessary to obtain a statement of all the outstanding liabilities of the State. We believe that the people are willing to pay the debt reported by the Comptroller-Gen? eral in his last report, and by Governor Scott in his lost message, t e. something funder eight million dollars. But we do not believe this people so crazy as to bind them? selves to pay whatever supplemental millions of obligations may be kicking about in Wall street. Nor do we believe that they will pay the millions or railroad guaranteed booda now thrust upon the State. When the taxpay? ers know what the debt is, they can tell what the taxpayers are ready to guarantee, and are prepared to accept aa morally and legally binding upon them. We go further, and say that we think it eminently proper that the May Convention should consider the propriety of advising the call of such a mixed Convention aa ia recommended by Mr. Ransier. The Convention can discuss the matter calmly and soberly, and, by its decisiion, moat persona will be ready to abide. : Time will ahow whether Mr. Banaler ia sincere in his profesaiona of charity and good-will. We hope that he is, and are in? clined to believe it. But having the past conduct of the Radical leaders as a warning and guide, we are disposed to think that there would not have been, in Radical cir? cles, ao sudden a shout for Reform had it not been evident that the whites, throughout the State, are terribly in earnest lu their det termination to obtain, by hook or by crook,' mor; aecarity and less taxation. Sixty thousand white men, acting together, are a power which even ninety thousand negroea cannot afford to despise. Is this the whole secret ? _ The Reinterment of John C. Calhoun. The remaba of John C. Calhoun were ex? humed on Saturday morning, and replaced in the vault where they originally reposed. It will be remembered, by a chosen few that, on the night preceding the evacuation of Morris Island by the Confederate forces, the boDesof Oalhoun were taken from their vault, for obvioua reasons, and were laid in St.'Philip's Churchyard, to the east of the venerable church. There the remains of our greatest statesman have rested in peace during these six eventful years. The Rector, assistant Rector and the Vestrymen of St. Philip's .were present at the disinterment, and.folio wed the coffin as it was borne to the old vault, west of the church. It was" iudeed a aolemu scene. While all else is troubled and sad, tho mighty spirit of Calhoun stalks abroad, and his dust, its wanderings over, is laid for aye in the humble, Bilent grave-laid rn the bosom of that Carolina which her wisest son loved so long and well. THE Columbia Phoenix says that the docu? ment 8tyled "The Constitution of the Coun "cil of Safety for South Carolina" was printed in its job office, and that its connec? tion with the matter began and ended there. The Taxpayer's Convention. The call for the May Convention of Taxpay? ers Is attracting general attention, and numer? ous meetings are about to be held to consider the propriety of sending delegates. The citi? zens of Orangeburg, Clarendon. Oconee. Onion and Barnwell will hold meetings on sales-day next, in addition to the county meet? ings already announced. Lancaster Speak*. A meeting of the citizens of Lancaster was held on Monday lasL Resolutions were adopt? ed appointing a committee of twenty to walt upon the Governor, and request the removal of Mr. Cousart from the offices of County Treasurer, Trial Justice, Commissioner of Elections, County Surveyor, Jury Commission? er and Lieutenant-Colonel of Militia; also, for the removal of Trial Justice D. ?. Wolf and Commissioners of Elections R. McLaln and William McKenna; also, for the disarmament of the negro militia. .liner Work in Union. The County Commissioners of Union, two of whom can't write, while the third can just scratch his name at the foot of a bill, are said to have sent to Governor Scott the following resignation: "To His EXCELLENT? IL K. SCOTT: "In accordance wiih pedal Order, No. 3, K. K. K., r hereby resiga tile office of County Commissioner." Governor Scott refused to accept the resig? nations, and the Unioa Times (our authority) says he acted perfectly right. The Times says that the resignations, as presented, were in? sulting to the Governor, who would, no doubt, be glad to get rid of the Incapab le trio if their resignations were put in proper shape. William Eller has been appointed Jury Commissioner for Union, which the Tunes says ls "a good appointment," b ut Colonel Johnson, who is appointed School Commis? sioner, declines to enter upon his duties until he is satisfied that the Governor has power to fill a vacancy in a county office by appoint? ment, when the unexpired term is longer than one year. inner?!
