f . COLUMBIA. Wednesday Morning, Mar. 28,^866. Who arv tho Disunion Uta! Any observer of the conree of po? litical events transpiring at this pre? sent time, will readily perceive that the venue, so far as disunion is con? cerned, has been transferred from the South to the North, or rather to the radicalism of New England and Pennsylvania. The South, when she attempted disunion, believed that she had not only the right to set up for herself, but that she had ample cause to sever the bonds which connected her with tho Federal Government. Tho North-or, we may repeat, the dominant radical party from that section-now that failure has attended the efforts of the South, and her peo? ple have returned to their alleg:ance, has no just cause whatever to prevent the Union from becoming "one and indivisible." On this subject, the Nashville Union and American, iu discussing the question, "What are tlie obstacles to the Union?" has the whole thing iu a nut shell. It says: "Five years ago, a portion of the people, honestly and sincerely believ? ing themselves aggrieved by the course of political events, undertook to redress their grievance by a dis? ruption of tho Union. Those of a contrary opinion opposed the effort and rendered it futile. At the termi? nation of the contest, the former yielded the issue, and consented to the theory of the latter. The only work then remaining to be done Avas to adjust the interstate relations that had existed before the contest, and in accordance with the decision reach? ed by thecontiict. To do this, a rule of civil government was required which should take the place of the temporary and abnormal rule of mere military government. The only avail? able present rule of the required kind was to be found in the Constitution .\ -of the Union.'' ^<?. agree Avith our eotemporary, . ifljj .-\**uit. to go beyond the Con ?sS^S?ti "nul entrust the destinies of k yory to any Congressional ma? sk to launch the ship of State , ?i n, sea of anarchy and confusion, Hfsqually and disastrous fco all. ??? To avoid the fatal consequences ll^^^at must follow such madness, Pre Sfiq^sjMfc^ohnsi>n announced his deter ^J^f??w^^B11 adopt for his guidance S^^^?^^^titution of the United States mH||| ^?ived it. Then came the day ^^?^^^Bf^y politicians and scram ^^4|^H? v>iiity. Congress met, and ^??&^-?jk8 proposed to set up a new ?^^^^^BT"^ *-? so change the organic ^'?.?v;'-,l^H *^ie Union-the old chart ?*f&'r;:f'*pprepuhUo_-as that jt would meet ^gP^owishes of the latter-day impos? tors, self-styled political saints. The Congress has been deluged with pro? posed amendments to the Constitu? tion, which are designed, and, if adopted, would f effectuate a total . change in the principles of the Go? vernment. Congress has declared through recent repeated votes that, as far as the dominant party in that body is concerned, there must be no Union until there is an organic change in the rules of civil govern? ment, utterly subversive of the prin? ciples laid down by the sires of Ame? rican liberty. Now, then, this is the issue be? tween two co-ordinate branches of the Government, the judicial branch, in its highest court, taking sides with the Executive. This issue is present? ed to the American people for their ^ decision, and we are firm in the belief, r that their decision will be a wise one. The President proposes a complete restoration, and the protection of the j rights of all in every section of the country. The radicals propose to keep the Union dissevered, and sub? ject the rights and interests of the j South to any despotic majority that may raid, for the time-being, in that i ?ody. Sorely, the people of the j United Spates wilj render, on this simple isskie, a ^vision that will se? care to thrh coi?ry and to their pos MHH^|^^M|MM?^S of union i ^^^S^Sii?f^l?i?^^^fc. '.' ' "merited from ? ^SyW|^^^W" ;'? who fmined ?^Hr Ti ; m founded the Go? vernment under it. W<- have frequently said, in this \ journal, that it was our desire, and : thit it WHS the interest of the South? ern people to eschew polities; but tho j course of tit?- radical faction in Con- I giess is not only mischievous, in a political point of view, but is ruin- : ops to the material interests and to I we prosperity of all sections of our 4 mut ry; that it becomes our duty as journalists, and it is the duty of the j r-ople, to aid him, who, from a high |<'nse of duty and patriotism, is de- ? frrminofc|^hwart and defeal their ! Prospects in the Pee lice Country. We are gratified to observe that the I Georgetown Times records some glim? merings of the sober second thought on the part of the freedmen in that region of country, where their labor ' is so valuable. The Times thinks that ! a visible improvement- is manifest since visit of G?n. Scott to that section, and the editor, having visited several plantations, witnessed a cheer? fulness and alacrity that was surpris? ing and gratifying. This is gratifying news from a re? gion where the chief cultivation is that of rice, and where it has hereto? fore been considered too unhealthy j ipr white labor. The editor of the j Times in, however, of opinion that the ! rice fields can be cultivated by white ; labor. The rice lands, fortunately, j extend along the coast, or are in close proximity to the pine-land ridges, I where settlements can be built close j to the daily work. We are afraid, \ however, that it will be difficult to ? induce white labor to emigrate to a ! section which has been generally re? garded as detrimental to the health of the whites, while the negro works and grows sleek and fat. We think, therefore, the chief reliance of the rice planters for labor, at least for a time, must be on that of the freed? men, who, we trust, will fulfill the promise of industry they nov evi? dence on the plantations. SECRETARY MCCULLOCH'S POSITION. Secretary McCulloch has written a letter to several leading Kepublican Congressmen, in which he says he feels much anxiety about the politi? cal situation, and very much desires that something shall be done to re? store harmony between the Govem mentvftnd the Southern States. He thinks that one step in this direction would result from a free and full con ferei ci between the leading Northern > men and the leading Southern men now in this city. He suggests that the persons to whom his note is ad? dressed invite Governor Parsons among others. DECLINE IN THE PRICE OF REAL ESTATE.-The real estate sales in New York, on Monday, were well attended, but sellers confess to a disappoint? ment, both as regards the readiness to purchase and the prices realized. Some very choice lots on Madison Avenue brought an average of 65,500, whereas $6,000 was refused for them less than three months ago. Lots in other parts of the city show a cones ponding falling off. This decline in vacant lots, however, has no visible influence as yet on house rents, which are as exhorbitant as ever. TAX LAWS OF ALABAMA.-The New Y oik Post publishes the following sections from the Tax Laws of Ala? bama, pronouncing the 12th section unconstitutional : "12. To sell, or expose for sale, for one year, at any one place, any pic? torial or illustrated weekly, or any monthly paper, periodical, or maga? zine, published outside the limits of this State and not in a foreign country, and to vend the same on the streets, or on boats or railroad coxs, fifty dollars." "13. To keep a news depot for one year, in any city, town or village, for the sale of any newspaper, periodical or magazine, not including pictorials provided for in the preceding para? graph, ten dollars." THE EQUIPPING-A PROCLAMATION TO BE ISSUED.-The Washington cor? respondent of the Cincinnati Gazette, states that one house in New York has sold for cash 10,000 military caps and 20,000 revolvers to the Sweeney Fenians. A movement of the Fenians seems to be apprehended at Washing? ton. Thc correspondent of the Cin? cinnati Commercial telegraphs that paper as follows: "It is the general belief, to-day, that the Secretary of State, under the direction ci the President, will this week issue a proclamation relative to the Fenian movements in this coun? try. Troops have been ordered to exposed and prominent^ points on tho Canadian frontier." The United Stales Supreme Court has now before it for argument the cases of Dr. Cummings, a Catholic priest, who was indicted and convict? ed by the Circuit Court for Pike County, Missouri, of performing tho duties c? his calling without taking thc oath prescribed by the second article of the new Constitution of thc State, !.. 1 fined $500, with imprison? ment vuitil paid, and that of Mr. Garesche, a lawyer, who was excluded from the practice of his profession because he would not take the oath. The judgment in Dr. Cummings' case having been affirmed by the State Supreme Court, both cases were brought up on a writ of error to the United States Supreme Court - - _ I Tho Pr?sident and Gen. Butler. i The Washington correspondent of j the New Orleans Crescent- communi , cutes to it the following account of un interview between the President ! and Gen. B. F. Butler: The interview was very lengthy, extending over one hour and a half, during which time the notorious Ben? jamin employed all the arts of which he is capable to impress the Execu? tive mind. I do not pretend to re? port the conversation verbatim, hut present the substance of it, and in some parts the exact words employed. I have also good reason to know that the Crescent is the only journal which has received accounts of this impor? tant interview. I may premise that Butler has been for some time fre que?*ting the radical haunts, and, although holding no official position, is recognized as an efficient wire? puller. The President was not as? tonished, therefore, when a card was brought in, requesting the honor of a few minutes' tete-a-tete; but having been wearied by repeated interviews on this same subject-the signing of the Freedmen's Bureau bill-Mr. Johnson had become exhausted and petulant, and said in his expressive manner, "When did he come"? Well, let him come in." After bein g seated face to face with the President, the "hero of New Orleans" laid out his case in full, urging the approval of the bill, and suggesting its adoption as the basis of a compromise between the Capitol and the White House. The President, with his usual im perturable manner, listened to the entire rigmarole of the politician, and then answered him with the words of the statesman ; words that were doubt? less immediately reported to his radi? cal friends in waiting: "Gen. Butler, you are very well versed in all the astute theories now urged in the Capitol, but let us leave this flim-flam and come down to plain common sense. We fought this battle for the Union; our entire course during the war was au endeavor to restore the States to their constitutional posi? tions; we tried to do so ill Georgia, and I ask you would yon not have received Georgia during the war as a State of this Union, had she sent a representative to Congress? Wherever I found a green spot of loyalty in Tennessee, ? tried to sustain it, and endeavored to obtain a representation for it. If they were States then, will? are they not States now"? You have appointed judges over them, you col \ lect taxes in them, and you refuse them representation. Why, they \ have not even a delegate like the ter? ritories. Their voice-the vote of eleven millions of people-caunot be heard in the National Capitol. This is hard and unjust. Are you afraid of a few Southern members? Win? not admit those who can take the oath, and send the resthome, to have their places filled by other men ? You think to soothe me by admitting tho Tennessee delegation, because I hap? pen to belong to that State, but the rights of every State of this Union are equally dear to me. Your party talks very much of supporting my policy, but when it comes to voting, you follow a different course. You talk of my kingly conduct, 'of losing my head;' this is almost equivalent to inciting people to assassinate me. If you proceed in this manner, a revolu? tion will not be far distant In the name of God, when is this to stop? This bill secures them-the negroes all they ought to have, and a little more, too. I do not say whether I will sign the bill or not." After Andy has once expressed his opinion, he has a peculiar manner of shutting himself oft' from the further conver? sation of the speaker, and this man? ner he adopted on the present occa? sion. During the interview, he had continually used the word General in a slightly satirical tone. -? * ? ? SPOKEN LIKE A HERO.-A literary gentleman, who is engaged in writing a book on some events in the war, in which Mosby was concerned, has re? cently had some correspondence with that noted personage, and a short time ago inquired of him if it would be safe for "a Black Republican-one dyed in the wool"-so he described himself-to make at the present time a horseback journey through Vir? ginia. In reply, that famous rough rider writes the gentleman as follows: "If you have any desire to visit the historic scenes of Virginia, I hope you will not be deterred by any ap? prehension for your personal safety. You will be just as safe from molesta? tion here as in the streets of Boston. Should you determine to visit North era Virginia, 1 would bo glad to see yon at my home; and I can at least promise that you will not find nie the mons lr um horrendum of the Northern imagination. By-the-by, one of the regiments most frequently encoun? tered waa from Boston-the 2d Mas? sachusetts, Coi. Lowell. I once met a detachment of it under command of Maj. Forbes, of Boston; and although our encounter resulted in his over? throw, he bore himself with conspi? cuous gallantly, and 1 saw him wound ono of my best men with his sabre. I also had an interview with a Capt. Barton, of Massachusetts, who served on Gen. Eustace's staff, and interest? ed myself to procure his exchange. * * * In the event of your visit? ing Virginia, I shall he most happy to extend to you any facility in my power for seeing j^aces of interest, &C." Mr. Seward, to bc thc Next Prcnidcn- j liai Candidate of the South. Tho following wc take from the j "Washington correspondence of thc Cincinnati Gazette: The very emphatic manner in which Mr. Seward affirmed, a few evenings since, that he originated the I lately published policy of President Johnson, has set many men to think? ing here; and the fact that, coupled with this statement, Mr. Seward made use of some very contemptu? ous expressions in speaking of Mr. Johnson, added new complications to the matter. This conversation was related to the President, and although he was loth to believe it, it doubtless excited his suspicions that his Secre? tary was playing false with him-pos? sibly using him for purposes of his own. At any rate, Mr. Seward, through his friends, is now attempt? ing to deny the reports made in re? gard to his conversation; but it can neither be denied, nor its point-blank statements explained away. The purpose of proclaiming himself as the originator of this plan, and his haste to deny having spoken con? temptuously of the President, will appear in a clearer light in connection with some other matters, and especial attention is asked for the facts which are now presented. The following conversation oc? curred in Demopolis, Alabama, in November last, which, in view of the late events, assumes a deep signifi? cance. The parties to this conversa? tion were one of the prominent poli? ticians of the South, who, before the war, was a member o? the Cincinnati j and Baltimore Democratic Conven- I tions, and, during the war, a staff j officer high in position in the Con- I federate army; and the other was al Union oilicer, well known in the j West, who had gone South to pur? chase a plantation, ami was at first i mistaken for a Southern man: The conversation turned upon what course the South would pursue since the failure of their arms. The first named party, stated that the matter had already been earnestly considered I by Southern politicians, ?aid they | bad come to this conclusion-that the ! South must bend all her energies to j securing the next President; that j they must submit to any abuse or J criminations, and only perform such acts as seemed absolutely necessary to I satisfy the North. It had been de? cided that the South could not elect a Southern man, and that to make the success sure, they must have a man who could carry either Pennsyl? vania or New York; and they had concluded that of these two States, New York was the most available for their purpose, and the most easily I bought. If, then, they could find a ! man who could carry New York, even j when pmVforward as a Southern can didate, they were perfectly sur? to | succeed; and that, in cast; they did ; succeed in getting back into power, I they would soon settle their accounts ' with the North. li was stated, | further, that they had fixed upon the man; that negotiations had already been opened with him, and looked very promising; and, finally, it came out that William H. Soward was the , mau. To the objection, that tiro | author of the irrepressible conflict, ? and a life-long anti-slavery man, j could not possibly receive the votes | of the South, it was replied, that the South was a uuit for any man who could cany New York, and who would give proper pledges before? hand. Such, in brief, is the substance of a statement made in November last, and the names of the parties, and all the circumstances connected with the matter, can be given, if needed. The facts have been in possession of oue of our most prominent Congressmen since the beginning of the session, but they made little impression until the late remarkable conduct of Mr. Seward called them to mind. The person who heard this conversation was so impressed by the manner of the speaker, by his position, and all the circumstances connected with the occasion, that he besought the Con? gressman to whom he related it to keep a close watch of Mr. Seward's actions, as he was thoroughly con? vinced that the conversation was a I correct exposure of the plan upon which rebel politicians were then ! working. Mr. Seward has stated privately, I within a short time, that he is to be the next President, and he expects j the support of tho South. THE CASE OF RAPHAEL SKMMES. The Washington correspondent of thc Boston J'os/, writing on tin- 6th, says: ; ? "1 learn of Secretary Fox, at the Navy Department, this morning, that that Department knows nothing of | tho anticipated release of Raphael | Semines, of tho Alabama noto- j riety. Neither the Secretary nor bis ! assistant are at all willing that the indictments of the redoubtable rebel | Captain should be quashed without aven bringing them before a Court, j Nevertheless, people who frequent the White House to an extent that rives their utterances something of 1 in official character, assort that Semines will be pardoned, within a lay or two, and allowed to depart liome." The Wadesboro (X. C. j Argus iays that Mr. W. i. Smith, of Con? cord, is in this country, looking up and.- for a New York Company. He ?.is orders to purchase 10,000 acres, ft is tho intention of the company to <ettle English emigrants on the lands. Tt?e Relative Right? 01" thc State? ! and of tlic General Government? We have heretofore called attention I to thc fact that the circumstances of j ? the country at the present time ne-1 eessarily lead to the consideration of : thc question of the relativo powers of ! the States and tho Federal Govern? ment. It ia a question which, though it at present more particularly affects the Southern States, yet, in its ten? dencies, has bound up within it the dearest interests ol" all the people. North and South, it is au encour? aging fact to find that some of the leading minds of tho country are giving their attention to thia subject; for good results must follow its con? sideration. It is not an abstract question, but, on the contrary, has so many practical bearings that the sooner it is considered, determined apon judicially, and settled by the acquiescence of tho States and the central power, the better for the coun? try. A revenue! case is now before the Supreme Court of the United States involving a decision upon this very point. Upen this ease the New York Timas makes the following ex? cellent remarks: "The dispute is not as to which Government shall make the most out of a certain subject of taxation, butas to which Government may create the subject itself. The true point; is whether the United States have the power indirectly to call into existence a business whose existence Massachu chetts positively forbids? Now, no? thing is clearer than that, beyond tho narrow limits of its granted powers, the Federal Government has no au? thority within the several States. Al? legiance and support by tin; render ol' military service and the payment of taxes are the great dues which tho citizen owes to the power at Wash? ington-as to all else, his own State prescribes duties and confers rights in relation to his property and eon duet. By her laws ?done he lives, buys and sells, marries, practices his religion, disposes of his affairs and estille, and is peaceably buried, uu less lie incurs speedier death as the penalty for breaking them. When, therefore, in the regulation of her in? ternal police, or with a view to amend? ing public morals, a State forbids a certain business to bo carried on, her citizens are bound by the prohibition, and it is beyond the powers of tho General Government to set it aside. Still less can it assume to permit, un? der the .-olor ol* collecting revenue, what it has no power to authorize. Among subjects of taxation which are allowed to exist by State laws, tho Federal Government may select sueh is it pleases for contribution; but it cannot, indirectly any more than di? rectly, originate such as do not exist, lgainst the express will of the State." The practical bearing ol' these views set forth by the Times-which seem to the people of this section of the ?ountry to be correct in every parti? cular-is well illustrated in the fol? lowing item of news, which we copy from a New York paper of the same late with the Times: " TAUNTON, MASS., Tuesday, March 20.-About noon, to-day, the liquors seized at Taunton on the 15th instant were taken away from the State Con? stables by United States Marshal Richardson, and returned to tho own? ers. The constables threatened but nade no resistance." Here is a direct conflict of authority. Massachusetts declares by her laws hat liquor shall not be sold in that State, except upon certain conditions vhich she prescribes. The United states license men to sell liquor, and hey proceed to do so in defiance of he State laws. The State officers ?eize their liquors. The United States Marshal thereupon interposes, and, lespite the threats of the State ifficers, restores the liquor to the >wners, who, it is ? be presumed, viii now continue to sell it whether he State says they may or not. This is but one of a hundred cases rhich are liable to arise any day, and, re repeat, it is therefore time that he people should know wdiere obe lienee Lo Slate laws begins to be trea on to the Federal Government, and, 'ice versa, when obedience to Federal aws renders them liai ?lo to pains and .enalties in their own States.

Its officers are courteous gentlemen . with years of experience in thu business, i which fact, coupled with their eminent fitness for tho position, its re? markable ii asperity must be mainly attri? buted. The Era says: ACTS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS.-We? are gratified to learn, on inquiry, that tho insurance company which paid so prompt? ly its loss by the lire on the corner of Whitehall amt Decatur streets, is a South .rn Company, and none other than that ro iable institution of our State-T/ie Georgia lloiiir Insurance Company, of Columbus, )i which Mr. John C. Whitner is Agent. The payment was made within twelve lours after the first cry of lire was heard, vhilst smoke was still issuing from the .nins. No third party caine forward to sift md feel about for lia WS ; but the agent ssuing the policy also makes tho payment ust so soon as satisfied of its justness. We ask our merchants and citizens to ?otu these facts. Tile cry has been raised, hat all Southern Companies were totally uined. The answer to this is, their in? vestments were made before the war, and vere never changed. Their loss, therefore, vas merely the profits and the labors for our s ears-though some, like the Georgia 'linne, have even come out better than hey entered the war. It is false that they .re insolvent. A most remarkable feature if Southern Companies is the absence ot .special agents'' and "adjusters" to settle ip losses. Tiley go on the presumption, hat the man they appoint as agent is lonest and eapabie, sufficiently so to bo nt rusted with the responsible duty of nailing out a policy, promising to pay you ii case of loss, and sufficiently so as to pay ip losses when they do occur. YXJien, herefore, you insure with them, yourlast transaction is with the same man-your riend, your neighbor, yourfellow-ciiizen rith whom you first occurred. We do not mean to be sectional in cur dvice, but we do think, when we can uild np ourselves and our own people at he same cost, and with greater advantage o ourselves, it is our duty to do so. There re a number ol Southern Companies re resented here who are perfectly reliable. Call on II. E. Nichols.
