This r?gul?t H ia in consequence of tho dillici?ty ?T obtaining national currency to ] m ?uties at the places of parchase. Ba Front Washington. S WASHINGTON, October 10.-Pr EL . ?ent Johnson reviewed the retnr ?B ' tolored troops to-day, at the Ex? tire Mansion, after which he mad| a brief speech, in which be said that liberty did not .consist of being idle and worthless,'or in -, doing as one pleased. Tlfcre must be' submission lo law, without regard to color. Liberty consisted of the glorious privilege to work-each one pursuing his avocation in peace, with industry and economy-^- and enjoy the produc? tions of our own labor. virtaie and intelligence- were the standard to observe as .their ruling principle in life. If the experiment of taking four millions, gately freed, ahd incor? porating them in our system, did not work harmoniously, then they must separate as distinct people: If the laws of Providence required that they should, separate, Providence "would point the way. They were t*> take to the land of their inhenfence, ii there was one before them." From Washington. WASHINGTON, October 8.-I learn that the Treasury Department has . decided against tho . proposition to tax all cotton in the interior of the S/mth twenty per cent.' This tiix was said to have been suggested by "mi merous motors in Mississippi," and the object was to protect the Govern? ment and secure to it, if not the cot? ton itself, which came into possession by the surrender of the rebel armies, at least a partial equivalent therefor. General Sheridan basked up the sug? gestion as a good one, but tho Trea? sury Department has failed to look upon it in the same light, and it will not be carried out. On the contrary, I am informed that instructions have been issued to the recognized agents of the Go? vernment not to take a bale of cottor that had been impressed by the late rebel Gtjfcernm'ent unless it could b< proved that the parties who t>wned ii had received an equivalent therefoi from the Richmond authorities, lr. such case thc cotton would revert tc the United Stat?s as its lawful pro perty, but where no payment liai ever been made, the cotton, evei though it had been impressed, wa not to be touched. This action of the Treasury is i j highly favorable one for the South j and the most dishonest holders of th? j staple could use it to their advantage i were they disposed to do so, for ho\ ' are we to get the proof as to wha cotton was paid for by the rebel au tiiorities, and what was not? I There could be no greater erro than a belief that the next Congres will seriously entertain any proposi tion for thc payment of the rebe debt. I would not allude- to this bu that a prominent journal in NewYor has stated that such would be tho casi There could be nothing, howevei further from the truth. The strong cst partisan of the South in Congret would not dare to make such a pr< position-nor would an out-and-oi Southern representative himself thin ?f proposing it. If ever the Southern States gi fairly on their feet again, however, may induce them to' pay off tl money loaned them on the faith < their bonds abroad, but such, au a would be one purely their own, an not in any way recognized by tl United States. I have heard Southerners menfic within a few days that it was not u likely but what their cotton loan de would ultimately be paid, and pro in this direction was offered in tl fact that ' 'most of the bonds own .in Richmond 'had been withdra\ from sale." According to this there must st be some surreptitious dealing in rel {?.omises to pay in that suppos oyal city.-Special despatch to Fid Ledger. .. .. -^t/f - G An VESTON. -The Galveston i vii ian, of the 23d, says the accoui from the cotton region of Texas cc tinue unfavorable.

IMMIGRATION.-The retains given by the Now York Commissioner* of Emigration for the last monti!, are as follows: Alien passengers, 22,692; citizen passengers, 717^totaL 23,409. During the corresponding month of last year the number of ahem passen? gers was 12,670; citizen passengers, 382-total 13,052; thus showing .an increase over the same month in 1864 of 10iS57.

Mr. Phmntz-DEAB SIB: I s*e Mr. SCOTT is up for the Legislature. He was not a soldier in the war, but h? helped to clothe and feed our soldiers. Over sixty years of age, in bad hcalthxbe came to Richmond, Staunton and Winchester, in the winter? time, to bring us clothes, shoes, blankets, boxes, Ac. We and our families will remona. ber bim, to be sure, on to-morrow, at the election. ONE OF JOHNSTON'S ARMY. _ Oct JL7_2*_ For the Legislature. Capt . Kinslor bas been-nominated from I the upper end of the District. All right! But no Adams, nor Ray. nor Weston, nor Hopkins, nor Scott, nor Heyward, nor Clarkson, nor English, nor any neighbor of theirs, at thc lower end of the District, though lately owning and now living in the midst of ten thousand negroes, (as over a slumbering volcano or a powder magazine, ) ha3 been thought worthy of sueb'a compli? ment o.- such a trust. This is neither ?quai, generous,"politic nor just. The eight other candidates are all from the city of Columbia or its suburbs. Would it not be well for tho good people of Columbia-its merchants, mechanics, [ traders, property-holders and tax-payers I in filling np their i.-kotsfor the election to? morrow, to select from these eight city can ! didatea thc gentlemen most conversant i with these various iutarests, and with the interests of thc city in its corporate cha" meter? . Would not Mr. EDWIN J. SCOTT bo a I suitable person for one of the Representa? tives from thc city? He is neither a mer? chant, mechanic nor trader; btit, during his long connection with tho oldest private bank in tho city, bc has touched these business interests at all their points, knows them well, and iu their present prostrate and calamitous'condition would represent them all ably and fairly. He has also served, we think, more than one term in the City Council Who moro tit than he? QUERE. EDWIN J. SCOTT, ESQ. Ma. EDITOR: It is most gratifying to our eommum'ty, to whom tho above named gentleman has been so long and so favor? ably known, to learn that, at tho pressing solicitation of numerous friends, ho has al? lowed himself to be put in nomination for a seat in tho Houso of Representatives Srom Richland District. Peace has its triumphs and its worthies as well as war. Mr. Scott served sixteen years in th? ?fices of Tax Collector and Clerk of the Court, in Lexington District; and wag, dur nu; that timo, chosen as a Dolegato to thc Slate Convention of 18:J2, otherwise known as the Nullifying Convention. For the last twenty-eight years, as Teller and Cashier of the Commercial Bank of this city, lie commanded the respect and admiration of all who had busiuess with th.vt institution, f;>r his integrity, his finan O?AI it? J ; * 1 - os, his obliging disposition. He is .i reading and a thinking, mai:, and will dare to do what ho believes to be right. Upon t?ie grave and difficult questions feo come before our r.ozt L?gislature-ques? ta ms of ytato finance and taxation-of tue .status of t:io Freedman, his rights and his duties- -of the relation between debtors and creditors-ho is as competes ko decide as any man in the Stace. The District Will honor itself by honoring him, aud will coinr.ui; ;ts own intorostu by avHiliug itself ol his patriotism, large ex? perience, ripe judgment and independence of thought and action. . * * A MASONIC APPEAL, FOB THE RE? NEW AE OF THE BoNba OF UNION.-The .six grand officers of the Grand Lodge of Free, and Accepted Masons of Pennsylvania, and the Masonic juris? diction thereunto belonging,. viz: Grand Master, Deputy Grand Master, Senior and Junior Grand Warden, Grand Treasurer ?nd ' Grand Secre? tary, have addressed a letter to the Free Masons of the United States, urgently calling on them one and all, j to unite now, at the close of a long j and terrible contest, to carry out the principles of order, brotherly love ? and . charity, to which the Order is consecrated. There is no truth in the reported story of what Gen. Grant said about Mexican affairs. Judge Catron denies that the General ever used tho lan? guage, of anything to the purport of that published in the Philadelphia despatch. Nobody, we presume, ever put the slightest faith in the statement. j9L-u.oti?oxaL Sales. By Durbec & Walter.
