_.?? .. r. . - . ^oLUMBIAT ' Wednesday Morning, /une 13, 1886. SortJicrn Men at (ht South. ^TPbe Southern people hare ever . bees pleased to receive among' them f the honest, industrious and energetic ^?fczenof airy "of tine Northern States of the Union. In no instance, witbt ^?n pur knowledge, even at_ the com . menceraent of the "late civil war, did a f?orihem m*n receive anything but kind treatment at the hands of the - Southern people, so long as he con ducted himself with propriety, and discharged the duties incident to other citizens around him, Northern or Sonthern. And now, at this par ticular juncture of our affairs, with shattered fortunes and demoralized labor,' will the people of the South 'welcome among their emigrants from ?ny clime or latitude; capitalists with , their means, artizans with their skill, farmers with their industry and ex? perience, and, in short, any class that brings with them those elements which constitute what is ordinarily termed "a good citizen." Bat if we can divine the intenta of the radicals at the present time, with their test oaths and other disabling measures, directed against Southern citizens, it may be well to consider the end proposed. The third section of the now reconstruction programme cuts off nine out of every ten citizens of the South from holding any office whatever under the Government. This prohibitory rule, by the direc? tions of some of the heads of the de? partments at Washington, Secretary McCulloch and Postmaster-General Dennison, is even now being pnb in force in this and all the other South? ern States, so that every office under the revenue or excise laws, and every post office must be filled with North? ern men, Southern recreants, or men who can swallow the test oath with? out any qualms of conscience. Such is our situation at the present time. Of course the same prohibi? tory measures will extend to the mem? bers of Congress the Southern people may choose to elect, and thus will they be compelled to send to the National Legislature men from the North, or recreants from their own section, which no honest man would trust. This is neither just, right or proper, but it is one of the schemes going hand in hand with negro suf? frage, by which the radical faction seek to perpetuate their power to ab? solutely govern the country. North? ern men with radical principles, and Southerners recreant to their section, are the sort of office-holders and con? gressional representatives they desire to have. Both are alike acceptable to them. Just at this point, it is very apropos to cite the radicals to the opinion ol their late President on this subject. Tt will be found in the following note addressed, during the second year ol the war, to the Military Governor ol Louisiana: "EXECUTIVE MANSION, "WASHINGTON, Nov. 21, 18G2. "DEAB SIR: Dr. Kennedy, boarei of this, has some apprehension thal Federal officers, not citizens of Lou isiana, may be set up as candidates for Congress in that State. In mj view, there could be no possible object in such an election. We dc not particularly need members o: Congress from those States to enabh us to get along with legislation hore What we do want is the conclusive evidence that respectable citizens o: Louisiana are willing to be member.' of Congress, and to swear to suppor the Constitution, and that other rc spectable citizens there are willing U vote for them and send them. 1\ send a parcel of Northern men here a Representatives, elected, as mould be un dersiood, (and perhaps really so,) a the point of the bayonet, would be dis graceful and outrageous, and icere 1< member of Congress here, I would rot against admitting any suck mar. lo < seat. Yours, very truly, "A. LINCOLN. "HON. G. F. SHEPLEY." Every honest and right-thinkin) man will appreciate the good sense o Mr. Lincoln, as exemplified in th above official note. The object o the radicals of the present day is, b force the South to send men ol thei own political complexion to Con gross, and the reasoning of Mr. Lin coln would apply as justly to th "force" of unconstitutional, restrict ive legislation as to the "force" c the bayonet. Neither**is consisten wuh the continuation of the people' liberties, rights or privileges, anti this being the case, should bo resisl ed by the citizens of all sections c our common country. In either casi whether by bayonet ortest oaths, th Southern people would Be disfran? chised-au act which Mr. Lincoln forcibly pronounces as ?'diagranefu? and outrageous. " Whilst on this subject, and as being I somewhat kindred to it, we refer our [ readers to an' article from Greeley's paper, the Tribune, as to the . pro? priety of ??oxfchurn men coming South as plan ter H. The Southern peo? ple do need capital and energy to re? store their section to ber wonted pros? perity, and they will cordially wel? come all who come with this honest purpose of entering into a legitimate field of labor, the results of which will, unquestionably, be highly ad? vantageous to both parties. But the Tribune errs as to the selection or picking out -of certain localities at the South as being preferable to others, on account of the opinions oz prejudices of the people. All the people, in every State of the South, will most cordially welcome among them honesty, capital and industry. The gratuitous fling of the Tribune, moreover, that portions of the Soutli arc settled by "ignorant and self conceited braggarts," would be nc passport * o the Tribune's emigrants, in any Stale, of the Southern coun try. Their people do not want th? Tribune's politics or teachings. Sud politics and teachings brought on th? civil war through which wc have just passed, and the desolation, occasioned by which, we now seek, by our owr exertions, with the aid of the capita and industry of other communities to repair and wipe out from sight ant remembrance. We have had enougl of politics of every kind in the past bnt from the politics and pol?tica emissaries of the New York Tribune "Good Lord, deliver us." PIOKENS.-We extract the followinj items from the Pickens Courier: "The 'oldest inhabitant' has no before witnessed the. fall of so inuel and such heavy rains as have recent! visited many portions of the Districi The soil, in some sections, has bee; badly washed. The grass and weeds too, are taking vigorous hold gene rally. "Wo regret to learn thut a privat of the 15th Maine Volunteers, o garrison duty at Walhalla, was au bushed and fired into, one night las week. The ball passed through hi uniform. The soldier had a narro escape for his life. Such conduct, ; persisted in hy the turbulent in or midst, cannot fail to produce the mot disastrous consequences. " A public meeting was held at Piel ens Court House, on the 4th instan the object of which is explained I the subjoined resolutions. The prii cipal purport of the speeches, and t the preamble preceding the resoh tions, was opposition to the action < the Court of Errors on the Stay "Resolved, That the Legislatui should be convened at the earliest dt practicable. "Resolved, That disclaiming eve] feeling and principle of dictation, v nevertheless most earnestly entres our fellow-citizens throughout tl State, to co-operate with us prompt in our efforts to rescue our peop from th? depth of degradation ai utter ruin so imminent and now ii pending, "Resolved, That wc earnestly r commend to debtors the importan of proceeding at once to make a rangements with creditors to settle arrange, in some amicable way, wit out suit, their indebtedness; and th we regard tho duty and obligation creditors to be as lenient as possibl and, if in their power, enable our ( tizens to discharge their indebte ness and retain their position a? i i zens.

Lazarus, JI praisers in the Custom House Charleston, have resigned, not bei able to take the oath. The correspondent of the N< York Tribune says that Secreta McCulloch han given Dr. Porter p mission to occupy the Marine Hi pital for the use of colored schools The News says that on complu of Lient. Kyle, of an Ohio regime a respectable citizen was arrested one of the city police. The next di thc Lieutenant of Police was ser\ with a writ of habeas corpus, and 1 prisoner was released. He then ported to the Provost Marshal, whom he was kept under arrest. the matter stands. --?????? St. Albans, the place at which G Sweeny was arrested, is a post vilh of Franklin County, Vermont, twen four miles from Burlington, the ca tal of the State. The village is Lake Champlain, about twelve mi from Canada. Opinion of the Supreme Court. It is known that thu decision of the Supreme Court on the. con? stitutionality of the test oath, which question was so recently ably dis? cussed before that tribunal by Hon. Reverdy Johnson, has not been made public. Much doubt having been expressed on the point, Mr. Hogan, a member of Congress from St Louis, wrote to Mr. Johnson on the matter. Mr. Johnson replies, that he argued before the Court that the test oath was unconstitutional, because it conflicts with the provi? sion in the tenth section of the first article of the Constitution of the United States, that no State (the pre? sent case applying to the test oath of Missouri) shall pass any bill of at? tainder or ex post facto law, Mr. J ohn son says that such is the opinion of the majority of the Supreme Court, but failed for want of time to pub? lish this decision, or to prepare their opinion in the case. This information, together with the decisions of the Judges of some of the United States "District Courts, as to the unconstitutionality of the con? gressional test oath, indicates with certainty that all test oaths will be pronounced unconstitutional at thc next term of tho Supreme Court, thus wiping them out of existence and making them null and void. Umlerwood-Hit Him Again. The correspondent of the New York World writes: After the utterances of Underwood, a conviction will exist that ?Mr. Davis was indicted by a packed jury, and will be tried by a packed jury, before a judge who has everything of Jef? freys but his brains. It is the first act of one of tho best farces I ever witnessed. A District Court can take no cognizance of such eases, and as to this being a Circuit Court, law? yers assure me that Judge Under? wood had no more personal right than you or I have to transfer his Circuit Court forom Norfolk to this place. Of all that crowd, the most unbap py-looking man was the Judge him? self. There he sat, trying to assume an air of nonchalance by reading a newspaper, but trembling with evi? dent nervousness, and looking as if he were the man on trial. Certainly any novice, were this the first Court room he ever saw in his life, might easily have mistaken the judges' bench for the prisoner's dock. Tin? I Judge would read a little, apparent I ly, then scratch his head, twitch his j lingers, and fall to altering some j manuscript that lay before him. j Meanwhile, it was evident he fell : every eye tipon him, and well might 1 he doubt his capacity to cope with j his position when he saw the large, i leonine, curly head of Brady in close i confab with the bald and polished ' Reed, or with Brown looking through his spectacles as sharp as a terrier. That staid and dignified \ rrnal, the National Intelligencer, refers tc Judge Underwood's charge in the I following caustic remarks: We could not but feel that this ' was a time for a Marshall to occupy i the seat of justice, so that the im ! posing spectacle of st) great a trial ! should be in keeping with the dig I nity and historical interest of the oe I casion. Wo were unwilling that, ot: j such a memorable occasion, weshouhi I run any hazard of belittling our j selves. We desired to soe a mani festation of dignity, propriety, eic vation, impartiality and moderador worthy o? our prestige ninon!; tin \ nations. We remember, in tho fatuous tria ! of Charles I, tho event is noted thal one of the audience spat upon tin king as he was being taken out of th* court. We hoped to see nothing o: this on the trial of Mr. Davis. We confess, therefore, under tin influence of these ideas, we rea* Judge Underwood's charge with : certain degree of solicitude, and wt are sorry to say that, by tho time wt had got through with it, we felt n< necessity of praying "to be deliveret from all vain glory," for we were hunt bled enough, in all consc ience. We were, perhaps, unreasonable it hoping for what we did, for Jndgt Underwood cannot be other timi himself, lie can no moro play th ?role of Judge Marshall than .iudg ! Marshall could have played the rot of Judge Underwood. I We must take Judge Underwoot as we find him, and we may readil; eoueodo that he has done his best and. if it is no better, it is not hi ! fault so much as his misfortune. A som?'persons cannot distinguish en i lors, so others are insensible to th ! concord of sweet sounds. If Judg Underwood is a person of very ordi nary intellect, of but little literary o legal cultivation and worse taste, aie under the influence of the most vio lent prejudice, he deserves our pit' more, perhaps, than our denuncia tion. -<-?~*-t Tho famous Confed?rate stearne Chickamauga was soldat the Gospor Navy Yard, a day or two since, fe 815,000. It is said that the stearne was originally built in England i 18G3, and that she cost 8200,000 i gold. \ Genuine V ?? ii Urs--A M-nlbthjr Reply. During tho war. Mr. Heese,- of Tennessee, his family having to floe from his dwelling-house, lost some certificates oi railroad stocks. It ap? pears, now, that some time since one H. B. Payne, of Wilkesbarre, Penn., wrote t*i Mr. Reese that, ho war; in possession of the missing certificates* which ho alleges he bought from a Federal soldier for the sum of ten dollars, intending, as he says, to pre? sent to th?; "historical society of his town," but generously proffered to forego the pleasure of such a gracious action and return the certificates for til ir ty dollars. It is evident from the following reply to thc proposition that Mr. Reese is doubtful of the truth of Payne's statement about the pur? chase, and that he has a surer way of reinstating the certificates than risking their return by Payne: The letter is well worth reading: BIUSTOL, TENN., May 30, 18GC. MK. H. B. PAYNE-DEAR SIR: Your second kind favor, dated April iiO, has been received, and your very liberal proposition to Reil ns fifteen shares in the East Tennessee and Virginia Railroad for the moderate sum of thirty dollars has been duly considered. You say, Mr. Payne, that you paid ten dollars for these bonds, "for the purpose of se- ! curing them for your historical so- i ciety. " Now, sir, as we fully i appreciate the generous motives ! which prompted you to make this offer, don't you" think it would be both ungenerous and unp.it fort us to deprive your society of so va? luable an acquisition without return? ing a fair equivalent, lt would seem to be taking an unfair advantage of a most irttrthy member of an honorable body. Such unparalleled generosity should be met in a similar spirit oft liberality, and I will say to you, keep ! the bonds for the benefit and amuse- i ment of your society, and I will get new ones issued instead: whieli can be done by exhibiting your letters, j or merely stating that the original were bovgJtt, nicked np, ors/o/enby Mr. ' Payne, of Witkesbarre, Penn. I will furthermore slate for your benefit, Mr. ' P., that stock in this road is not j transferable, except upon the booksd of the Company, and as each of us are known to the officers of the Com pany, it would seem you are in a fair ? way to lose your ten dollars, which, no doubt, will I?? extremely painful to your sensitive nuture. Vour statement as to how you came ; in possession of those bonds may. or ] may not, be true. There arc many reasons for doubting it. As you have brought up this subject allow me to , state for the benefit of all concerned ', some facts connected with the rob- ! bery which placed you in possession 1 of those bonds. Sometime in the winter of '?S, during Longstreet's occupation of Upper East Tennessee, an artillery duel took place in tho im m?diat*' vicinity of my mother's re.si- ' dene.-, near Mossy Creek. Tin? family., tied forsafoty, and, upon their return. . found that one General Elliott, who formerly disgraced the uniform of a I Federal officer, had rMfcde his head? quarters in thc lu.use. Every lockin the house was broken', and railroad bonds, papers of all kiuds, books, \ household furniture, ladies* dresses, etc., were gone. This man in of? ficer's nuiform, while pretending to , protect thc property, allowed his hangers-on to appropriate whatever ? suited them. The only excuse the "staff" offered was. that they under- ' stood it was a "seccsh" house. When, on account <<{ thc proximity ol' the rebels, this hero departed, he, or one of his staff took willi them (J will not say stole, that isan ugly word; from out of the (Jeneral's own sleeping-room a line guitar belonging to om- of the family. And now, Mr. Payne, allow \ nie to say. I strongly suspect von be? longed to this party, eitker as sutler, j forage master or army /othnrer. If my suspicions are well founded, pro? bably you purchased from headquar? ters the guitar ami some other articles prized by the owners, who will proba? bly come to some understanding with you. Hoping to hear from yon again soon, with full descriptive and price list ot all the articles which may now bc in your possession, I have the honor to remain, dear sir, yow obe? dient servant. JOSEPH W. REESE THE [NFLI'EXCK or Bons NAPO? LEON. As an evidence <>f the power wielded by Napoleon Iii. in the affairs of Europe, thc London Times, of May ?>. says: "An intimation from the Emperor of the French tliat he is in earnest opposed to the war. and will take a definite and intelligible course imme? diately against the first aggressor on its breaking out, would have more effect than the deliberations of any European Congress. Wo Lave no doubt"thal ho possessed tlie power, had he chosen to use it, to prevent the storm. It may l>e a question whether it lue* HOI now acquired di? mensions which even his sk i i ! is un? able to subdue. " They say that two Peruvian iron dads are en route for Havana to bom? bard that city in return for Spain's reckless assault on Valparaiso. Spain deserves just such treatment. VroBi CoJajubiM. A pungent and witty writer in this 1 city sends the following to the New { York Metropolitan Recored "He was born when the crab was ascending, and- all - hi? affairs go backward-" I So will our thoughts bojuotiuies. j Prior to the first American Revo? lution, when the colonies were poli ( tically independent of euch other, being neither united by contract ur Federal bonds, nor "pinued together by bayonets," it WHS declared by "them "tluit they were neither actu? ally nor virtually represented in the British Parliament; and that if their property might be taken from them without their consent, there would be no limit to the oppressions which might be exercised over them." i Prior to thc days of Stevens, Sutn ! ner. Phillips, Greely, ?fcc., an Eng? lishman, a royahst, asserted in the I House of Commons the same doc? trine, and said. "Three millions of our fellow-sub j ec ts, so lost to every i sense of virtue as to tamely give up I their liberties, would be tit in atm- ! men ls to make slaws of the rest." Before radicalism, as represented in the present rump Congress, had elaborated and defined liberty, au J English lord declared "taxation and 1 representation are inseparable. Whatever is a mon's own is absolute? ly his own; no man has a right to ?ike it from him without his consent. Whoever attempts to do it, attempts an injury: whoever does it, commits a robbery!'* The so-called patriots of New York erected a statue in honor of that mau! and so did Charleston; but she has been taught to repent her error, sitting in "sackcloth anti ashes." before the Harpers' ''Journal oj Civilization^'' had remodelled the "national" morals, expounded holi? ness, and given us the true type of christian charity, the colony of Massachusetts, for maintaining this American rebellious and insurrection? ary doctrine, was punished br the British Crown by depriving it of the selection of its important officers, by the trial of its citizens in? another colony or in Great Britain, by closing tlie port of boston, by quartering troops upon them, by refusing to allow any royal officer to be tried for offences committed against the laws of the colony, and sending them to England for trial. Simple, untu? tored, having only the Bible without tho Harper notes; with no Beecher, no Stowe, no Tyng, no Butler; mis? led l>y the prevailing* opinions as enunciated by Livingston, Crngcr, Rutledge, Gadsden, Hancock, Adams, Heu ry, and the like turbulent seces? sionists, the other colonies sympa? thized with Massachusetts, and sent to its suffering, starving people, rice, fiour, com and money. Before it was known that State; could commit treason, and that theil treas.iii made traitors of all theil citizens, when Massachusetts calle< for help in the maintenance of thes< now treasonable and most damnabh ideas of Otis, Gadsden and Franklin South Carolina responded with snel zeal and alacrity, that a great i! Northern niau said, "Massachusetts sounded thc trumpet, but to Sotltl 'Carolina Wit owing that it was at tended to. Had it not been for Soutl Carolina, j,,, Congress would thei have happened." Verily, so itu pressed with this fact was a eertaii Northern writer, named Bancroft that he issued an historical decree ii the following language: "H* it remembered. That the bless ing of Union is due to the warm heartedness of South Carolina. (! She wrns all .'dive, and felt at ever pore; and when we count up thos who. above all others, contributed t the great result, we an- to name th inspired madman, dames Otis, an the great sbitesmttti, the magnan, mous, unwavering, faultless lover of Itt country, Christopher Gadsden."
