COLUMBIA. Saturday Morning, March 31, 1866. Thc Action of LouUiona. The radical prints have attempted to misrepresent vu.c tsuuie - ???lit resolution concerning the condition of the freedmen of Louisiana to pass the Legislature of that State, as an index of the determination of its citi? zens to refuse the blacks equality be? fore the law; and correspondents from that State have tiied to make it ap? pear that Louisiana was covertly op? posed to Mr. Johnson's reconstruc? tion policy, because of the omission of the same body to pass endorse? ment resolutions which were recently offered in the State Senate. See how plain a tale will put to the blush these calnminators of a gallant State. Their stories are false in every part. To the Senate Committee on Fede? ral Relations were referred both sets of resolutions, those endorsing Presi? dent Johnson and those referring to the condition of tho Louisiana freed? men. The Chaira an of that Com? mittee reported that the first named set of resolutions wore quite unneces sar3', inasmuch as a set similar in all respects had been but recently before the Legislature r-.nd received its hearty endorsement. Of these, we give the last two: 2. Be it further resolved, etc., That in the expression that "the Southern people must be trusted," President Johnson exhibited a thorough ac? quaintance with the Southern cha? racter, and eminent wisdom and statesmanship ; and that it is our firm resolve to justify ibis confidence and to sustain the President in his efforts to restore these States to representa? tion in Congress, and a position oi political equality in the Union. 3. Be it further resolved, etc., Thal the people of Louisiana are unre served in their purpose of loyalty and, if permitted, that to the Consti tution of the United States and tin Brt^ Union of the States thereunder, d( JH they look for their future happinea ST and prosperity. j^K-vAJLegislature must, indeed, esteen ^^^PS^uTt?rances r'ghtly, if it were t< ^^^make haste - hin four months t< repeat such an avowal as this. J man even must needs have change? his opinions, or come to think pre cious little of them, who would d< the thing which the Louisiana Legis lature is so grossly misrepresents for not doing-a second time. Southern Relief. The Philadelphia Inquire)- of th u. ? 26th inst, has got a very insultin T article on the approaching Baltimoi Fair. It says that the Southern pee pie have suffered immensely for tb l^/foily of rebellion, and if the Fair i ? ; - honestly benevolent, and not intende Cto make heroes of the people wh * were chastised by the United Statei \ all will be well. We have just sue I an institution, with similar object Lp*-- in operation among us, the Unio Commission, but it is in the hands < loyal men, who sustained the eounti throughout the struggle and are no willing to alleviate the distresses < those who suffer for their folly. Bi the Baltimore Fair is in the liane of well-known secestionists, sympi I thizers with treason, who rejoice ^ when Maryland was invaded, an \ contributeel their funds to a sui v scription for a sword for Harry Gi I , mor. Whether in getting up th ^ ^ project they are spiteful, rather tha r*" truly charitable, may well be askc( We notice than Mason, the grei Commissioner in England for the e: . * Confederacy, writes to the Londc Times in favor of the proposed Fai ah intervention which will do tl project no good in the eyes of loy; citizens. The Fair will shortly be i operation, and we can then jud? better of theanimus of the promote] / by the spirit in which it isconducte< .The Second Veto Metingc. We give our readers, thia morninj a synopsis of the message of Pres dent Johnson, vetoing what is know as the "Civil Bights Bill." This vel message justifies all we have ?aid < Presielent Johnson-hisconservatisn bis patriotism, and iiis determinate to preserve the Union. We are pleased to learn from pa ties just arrived from Washingtoi that it is the intention of the Pres dent to carry out his scheme i restoration at all hazards. PRICE OF FLOUR.-The Subsisten* Department at Washington, on Moi day, opened the bids for furnishii the Government with 2,000 barre Gen. Wade Hampton. We clip the following eloquent vin? dication of our distinguished fellow citizen from the Memphis Ava? lanche, one of the most sterling papers published in the country. This com? munity will endorse and appreciate this noble utterance, from a paper which has ever been foremost in its defence of the interest of the South: "Wado Hamptou accuses Gen. Sherman of falsehood, and charges npon him the responsibility of burn? ing the city of Columbia, S. C. Wade need not expect by his slander to cover up his own infamy." We find the above extract in the Nashville Union, (not the Union and American.) The course of the Union has heretofore been characterized by decency, courtesy and justice,, and we aro at a loss for the appearance in its columns of the above extract, which is so entirely inconsistent with its former character. There never was a more causeless, wicked and unjustifi? able assault upon any man than the above upon Geu. Wade Hampton. The soldier's honor is all he saved in the late struggfe, and we are pained to see an effort made to rob one of our noblest men of this priceless boon. The reputation of Wade Hampton ? is spotless. He was one of the strong men on whom the South leaned in I the late struggle. His genius-his I patriotism-his gallantry and soldier? ly conduct-made him one of the cherished idols of the South. His pri? vate character is pure and blameless. Slander has never tainted it-scandal has never dared to defame it; aud after many years of public association and of exposure to the temptations and trials that assail his high.position, he passed through all with a r?pudia? tion unsullied and uncorrupted. The malignity of the most violent party excitements has never assailed his name. J Gen. Hampton embarked his all in the war. He entered the struggle rich-he came out standing upon the fragments, caring to ?me nothing but his honor. With this preserved, he is still rich; without it he is poor as the editor who wantonly assails a noble soldier, or traduces a model gentleman. -- - SMUGGLING.-~A vessel laden with rum and sugar, direct from the West Indies, has been seized in the port of New Bern, North Carolina, for failure to pay the import duty on the cargo. Another vessel, with a cargo of rum, has been seized under the same cir? cumstances at Providence, Rhode Island. Both vessels, with their car? goes, have been confiscated. SOUTHERN RELIEF FAUR IN LONDON. Mr. Mason, the ex-Confederate Com? missioner in London, publishes the following letter in the Times, in sup? port of the bazaar about to be held by the ladies of Baltimore, in aid of those in the Southern States who are suffering from the late war: Sm: Will you allow me a brief space in your columns to return my thanks to Mr. Herbert, a gentleman to whom I have not the good fortune to be known, for his letter in the Times, of this morning, on behalf of the suffering people of the Southern States of America? The "Ladies of Baltimore," to whom he refers, have written to me also in regard to the bazaar they pro? pose to hold in that city for the relief of those in (I quote from their letter) "the different Southern States where they have suffered the most from the devastating armies of the North." With those ladies who are chiefly in charge I have been long and inti? mately acquainted. They are of those who, during the whole war (al? though its devastations never reached their homes), ministered personally, old and young, to the prisoners in the hospitals of that city, and who, year after year, impoverished them? selves that they might send relief to Southern prisoners at a distance, so long held in confinement by the enemy. They are thus trained and practiced in those paths of benevo? lence they still seek to explore. Nor could funds intended for such bene? volence be confided to better or more judicious hands. In their sugges? tions to me I have not felt at liberty, from a just sensibility, to appeal to any but to those few of my own coun? trymen in England who have any means left them. Yet. without vio? lating such sensibility, it is perhaps due to those ladies to say that any voluntary contributions in aid of their noble efforts which may be sent to me shall certainly reach them, with the names of the donors. As to the suffering in the Southern States, it may suffice to say, that in all those States through which tho invading armies passed, but chiefly in Virginia, South Carolina and Georgia, whole districts of country were deso? lated and reduced to a wilderness, everything that conduced to human sustenance destroyed, and those there inhabiting, many in affluence, all ia independence, reduced to the abso? lute want of the bare necessities of life-a want none had ever known before, except when relieving it in j others from their own abundance. Very respectfully, your obedient (servant, J. M. MASON. General G. W. Smith, formerly Street Commissioner of New York, and, during the war, a major-general in the Confederate arm v. has het From Washington. Among the persons lately pardoned by the President are Messrs. W. N. Edwards, of North Carolina; James T. V. Thompson, of Missouri; Mrs. Laura Comer, of Georgia, and Mr.. H. B. Andrews, of Texas-the two latter coming under the 820,000 clause. The Supreme Court has decided the Massachusetts liquo r eases, affirming the judgment of the State Court, to the effect that a United States license gives no right to sell liquors in viola? tion of a State law. The Joint Committee of Fifteen, or at least the House wing of that important body, is said to be in a painful state . of iusuoordination. Some of the most formidable talkers in the committee are clamorous for reporting a resolution admitting the I Tennessee delegation at once, with ! out any further ifs and ands. The j obnoxious portion of the last resolu ! tion reported from the committee waj j only adopted in committee by a ma? jority of one, and Thad, is obliged to work steadily and persistently to keep the figures thus. Meanwhile, the fears of Thad's followers in the com? mittee are being worked upon by the conservative members of the House and by lugubrious tales about the waning power of the party in their own districts. They are especially anxious about the result of the Con? necticut election. If Gen. Hawley should happen to be beaten there, thero would not be a member of the committee left standing, except, per? haps, old Thad. The admission of Tennessee hangs upon the election in Connecticut. Cases have recently come to light in which the President has been swindled in some of his appointments by the radicals. Several Congress? men, known to be blind followers of Thaddeus Stevens, but shrewd enough to keep their names oft' the record of votes on all important measures, have secured good things for their friends by professing fast friendship for the President. Once or twice this has operated injuriously to the real friends of the President, and has been hailed by the country press as an evidence that the President was disposed to succumb to radical influ? ence and "g<; back on his friends," as the phrase is. This state of affairs has brought a number of lately de? posed postmasters to Washington to set themselves right before the de? partment and the President, and get, if possible, a reversal of the decision which deposed them. The action of the department in all these cases proves that the safest course for Go? vernment officials is to preserve a clear record as supporters of the Pre? sident's reconstruction and general policy.-Cor. New York Herald. COTTON LANDS GOING BACK TO A WILDERNESS.-A correspondent of the Mobile Advertiser, upon whose judgment the editor relies, gives a gloomy picture of the future. He says: What are the facts in regard to a general cultivation of cotton and re? turn of negroes to field labor ? A large proportion of the field hands are dead. Another large number have left the cotton-growing States. The cotton-producing lands in the bot? toms will not be in cultivation this year nor the next: to a great degree I they are going back into the wilder? ness. In no part of the country is a large proportion of the ianr ? likely to be planted in cotton ; much even of the uplands in Alabama and Missis? sippi will not be planted at all. A great number of the negroes are about the towns and villages, with no sort of intention of returning to the planta? tions. Another fact, known only to those who are making the effort to make cotton under the present aspect, is the general opposition of the negro women to field labor. The more sensible of the men see and feel the nec?isity of labor in the cotton field, j but there is a settled opposition on ! the part of the women to go to the ? field again. They want to go into . society and have a piano. The wo i men are the main cotton-pickers. ? When the negroes made contracts j to make cotton, it was very cold and 1 Avet; they had no houses to live in; j no provisions to live on; they were j disappointed about the division of lauds and mules. They said, well, if we have to work, we might as well make a contract. They were, to a j great degree, compelled to make an I engagement to work. But when the i pressure of work in the heat of the , j spring and summer comes on, will he perform his contract ? That is the i ; question. Thc shade-tree on the ; i bank of a stream will afford house ! enough, and he can forage at Ir.rge I under the protecting wings Hie i "bureau." -? ^ ? ? Under date of the 24th, a New Or leans exchange furnishes thc follow- I ! ing items: I The high water has broken through ' ; the levee. Thc French Government has issued proposals for 6,000,001? pounds of to- i bacco, which cannot be filled here as formerly. Three cargoes of Chiba sugar, for ! ' St. Louis, arc detained at quaran? tine. The press calls for the removal of the quarantine, as there is no cho ! lera or fever on the Mexican Gulf. -.- ?*???.? : CHOOSE YK. -The Republicans must . now choose between the Constitution, ; Johnson, Seward and Htfnry Ward '' 1 Beecher on one side, and the Tribune NAPOLEON'S PLAN XS MEXICO.-The President transmitted to the House of Representatives, in compliance with a resolution asking for infor? mation on the general condition of Mexico, an immense bulk of docu? ments from tho year 1864 to the pre? sent time. Much of it has hereto? fore been published, aud the re? mainder presents but a few points of public interest. One of the papers shows that the Mexican Republic granted permission to our military forces to pass over its territory in order to conduct a campaign against the Apache Indians. Minister Ro? mero, March 9, 1866, transmits to Secretary Soward a copy of a letter dated Paris, February 19, 1866, the writer of which, he says, is worthy in all respects of confidence, and the sources from which he derives his knowledge authentic. The letter is as follows: "I have derived from a personal conversation with a high functionary of the French Empire the following facts: That at the last two confer? ences of the Councils of Ministers it was resolved to try a middle course on tLe Mexican question, which gives these ministers disquiet who have been lor the simp] withdrawal ol the French forces. It seems that this middle course consists in forming in Mexico a Franco-American party, which is to hoist as a new standarc the departure of Maximilian and the re-establishment of the republic wit! Bazaine as President, etd interim. Thus it is thought to stop the trou bles of the United States. Absurd a? this project may appear, there is nc room to doubt of its existence. Tin news conies borne out by various an tecedents-the invincible repugnance which Napoleon feels to withdrawing his troops without dissembling th< J rumor which is alloat that Bazaine i: j working for himself in Mexico, nm j the project being the theme ol' al j the French employees and function aries, who have for some time been informing Napoleon that the Frene! army is looked on favorably by th Mexicans, and that what they dislik is thc monarchy and the incompetency of Maximilian. So I have read iron private letters, which assumes me tin was tho idea that Bazaine tried to in culcate in the interviews which h had with Napoleon. "By the last packet, a chief of sra: and an employee of tho Finance Dt partment have gone out, and^perhap they go ont to modify, in accordanc with this idea, the instructions c I Saillard, for the packet BS even di layed to wait for them. It is state< that the Minister of the Eepublic her is condescending t o this Government I even to weakness. He flatters an praises it incessantly with real reel lessness. " Secretary Seward, under date t March ?, 18(56, thanks Senor R?mer for this and other information coi tributing so largely to his knowledg of the events transpiring with regal to Mexico.-Net? York Herald. - ? THE SUPPLY OF COTTON.-Tlios dealers who based their operations i ootton and cotton goods upon tl report? that were extensively circi lated soon after the surrender of tl rebel armies, have been somewhat di appointed. It was stated that tl supply in the Southern States won! not exceed ono million bales, and tin was all that could possibly be ol tained until after another crop wi gathered. These reports were, r doubt, circulated for an object, an to keep the price up as long aa posa ble. At any rate, it had that eflec and while it deceived many, it kej the cost of the manufactured gooc to the consumer at an exorbitant high ligure, and has nearly ruined number of cotton speculators. W seo from a cotton circular just issut in this city that the number of bal already received at the different shi ping ports since the close of tho w is 1,970,000 bales, or double th i which was generally reported win ; hostilities were suspended. The san j circular gives the amount still he I back at some 300,000 bules. But A i imagine that it will be found that th ! amount will exceed ratler than f) ? below 500,000 bales. While the su I ply in this country exceeds the gen ral expectations, it is also stated th ! the recent shipments from India ha ! been on an enormous scale, and th 1 the quantity already afloat from th country is such as to justify the e pectations of an excess in Euro] from that source. These facts reveal the danger th exists to our merchants engaged the dry goods trade, and the genes fall in prices which must of necessi follow. All who have based their e: culatious and made their parchas on the idea of a short supply in t cotton staple must sutler in cons quence. This great supply of cott is sufficient of itself to cause a ft ther decline in gold, and is bringt us every day nearer a specie bas That point is coming now as fast tho country can stand it, and if add to that legislation to force imn diate specie payments, wo shall plunged headlong into a gene: crash. Instead of legislation on t finance question, Congress shoi forthwith secure thc restoration the South, and thus open ;i marl for goods by giving confidence to t public everywhere. / [Xnr Yu ./>.

M j-eudClomeut i'.fl BfeSjta*r?> ec, : 1i1 OH ?Hf M V NORTHERN ALABAMA.-A recent I trip through the Eastern portion of this, and into Marshall County, says i the Huntsville Advocate!, revealed to j us a very gratifying fact. That was, ' the energy, industry and spirit the j people arc displaying in repairing j fences, improving dwelling houses, j clearing up and plowing lauds, sow? ing oats, preparing to plaut corn and cotton. AU appear to be hard i at work, as if determined to make a j good crop to live on and to sell, if! Providence sends the early and the j latter rain. And we ure pleased to 1 see that the people have some hog*, cattle and sheep left. Plow anima.s I are very scarce, and more are need- j ed. Corn is much in demand for bread, as well as for feeding tho horses and mules at the plow. The destitution in the Eastern por? tion of this County, as well as io j Marshall, is very great, and the peo- . pie absolutely need more relief than i is afforded by the bureau and by the few individuals who have the means to help their neighbors. We trust ! that the bonds appropriated by tho I Legislature; may be at once sold by J I Gov. Patton, (now North for the pur- I I pose,) so that the State may afford ! some additional relief to our people. ! Aid now is like seed corn-will yield > ! enough in a short time for self-suste- ! nance. 10,000 bushels of corn j bought for Marshall County will do , j more good now than IOU.OOO sir j months hence. It will give bread to the women and children, feed plow : ! animals, secure a good crop, and then : : aid is no longer needed. The people ; ! arc working as they never worked I before, and as well a? their want of | : means to work will permit. Corn is j j sold in Guntersville at $1.50 per bu I shel, but all are not able to buy it. I The people have applied their own j shoulders to the wheel, and with a j little help will rise out of the slough ' of despond and get upon brm, self supporting ground, lt is encourag? ing to see the life, energy, industry and resolve not to despair. Let the same spirit still continue and actuate all our people everywhere, and we will again be happy and prosperous and a great people. Work is self support-work is the duty of wife I I and children-work is patriotism- ! : work is religion, for it is fulfilling the I I decree, by the sweat of his brow man ; shall earn his bread. "We are glad to hear that the people I in other parts of Madison, as well as ' in most of North Alabama, are work- ; ' ing in a manner similar to what we I ? have described above, lint, with all ? their exertions, for the want of stock, food and labor, not more than-or as much as-one-half of tho lands will be cultivated this year. As the tax on cotton will most likely- be put at live cents per pound-a very j erroneous, oppressive and unjust tax ! -we trust that our people will plant ? enough corn, potatoes, peas, tte, as ; to secure an abundance of provisions ! for home consumption, and stop the j present enormous drain upon our re ? sources for food. By this means, the I cotton money wiil be sufficient to buy I groceries, dry goo^H^C^ *? w^J as 1 help to pay debts. FooTr?? as much cotton as you can cul and save. A NEW SORT OF HOUSK.-An exten-1 sive puff of a new house, near Phila? delphia, built by Mr. Jay Cooke for himself, has a sort of climax of puffing in these words: " It is now quite finished, exterior- j ly, and will contain ifty bed-cham- !1 hers, a chapel, a gymiasium, a libra- ? ? ry, and all the accessaries to the pala- ! ! tfal home of a Christan banker.
