COLUMBIA. Friday Morning, June 22,1866. TU* Next Move. Governor Curtin ha?, with indecent haste, issued a circular to the Go? vernors of the Northern and Western States, to assemble their respective Legislatures in extra session, for the parp?se of ratifying the last constitu? tional amendment of Thad. Stevens. The so-called. Southern Stales are ignored in this invitation, with per? haps the exception of Tennessee, which wm be promised admission on the condition of ratifying the amend? ment This move is so well arranged that it must be the offspring of the brain of the Head-Centre himself. The present Legislatures, mostly radical, are to pass upon this outrageous measure, and the voice of the people entirely ignored. But this is of a piece with all the shrewdness, chi chanery and rascality which thus far have characterized the counsels and the action of tho radical party. But this movement, cute as it appears to be, betrays innate weakness, a fear to trust the people of their own States in the decision of this important question. Their record for the past seven months has been so blurred and daubed, that they dare not go before their own constituents with its soiled pages in their hands. As to this fresh insult to the South? ern States, it is useless to descant upon it. They are powerless to do anything; the Constitution to which they were accustomed in times gone by to turn to, as .their shield and protection, is a dead letter, and daily perverted to the base uses and pur? poses of the majority in Congress. That document says no State, without its consent, shall be deprived of its equal suffrage in the Senate; but what care Thad. Stevens and his fol? lowers for that? True, they swore to support that Constitution, but the higher law under which they act ab? solves them from the minor sin of perjury._ _ Prlwii L.ife In m. Republic The revelations made by Surgeon Craven in relation to the treatment of Mr. Davis in Fortress Monroe, will startle, if not astound, the civilized world. That such treatment will re? ceive the ?censure and condemnation of every friend of humanity, whe? ther in America or elsewhere, cannot be doubted. The scene descriptive of the fet? tering of the distinguished prisoner is one that will touch the hearts of all who are not thirsting for his blood. Feeble as he was, surrounded by a powerful guard, in the strongest for? tress of America, there can be no shadow of excuse for such an order to have been issued as to manacle this invalid captive. It was not for him? self, but for. the country, that he gave vent to the agonized cry, "Oh, the shame, the shame!" He had, a few minutes before, told the officials, who were carrying out their orders from Washington, that the war was over, the South conquered, and that he had "no longer any country but Ame? rica," and requested his keepers to kill him rather than inflict that insult, which to him "was worse than death." Throughout the whole of this hu muliating proceeding, the conduct of Jefferson Davis-the man whp, for four years, had enjoyed the love and confidence of the people of eleven States-will command the admiration of both friend and foe. The uiomont ary impulse to resist what he consi? dered an unwarranted and uncalled for indignity, soon passed, and left the same grave, calm and noble demeanor which always characterized him in the field and in tho Cabinet. We have no heart to dwell upon this first chapter of Dr. Craven's re? velations. The New York World has done the eountry a good service in publishing so freely from this expo? sition, which has given it, through the papers, North and South, a more extensive circulation than the book could have attained. The simple reading of the scene narrated in thi* opening chapter, will have more effect than any lengthened comment, vio? lent denunciation or pathetic re? proaches, be they ever so eloquent, could possibly have. James Fagan has been released from custody by order of the Pre? sident. This release is final and ab? solute. ??I?i*t br Signed. A telegram say* that the Secretary of State positively refuses to semi to the Governors or Legislatures of the States the proposed amendment to the Constitution for ratification, without the signature and approval of the Presideut. Referring to the Constitution of the United States, Article 1, Section 7, we find these words: "Every order, resolution or vote, to which the concurrence of the Se? nate and House of Representatives may bo necessary, (except on a ques? tion of adjournment,) shall be pre? sented to the President of the United States, and before the same shall take effect, shall be approved by him, or, being disapproved by him, shall be repassed by two-thirds of the Senate and House of Representatives, ac? cording to tho rules and limitations prescribed in the ease of a bill." This is clear enough, and certainly justifies Mr. Seward in bis reported refusal to forward thc measure just adopted to the State Governments. The great amendment to the Consti? tution, abolishing slavoiy, passed on the hist day of January, 18G5, went through the regular course of legisla? tion in both houses, was sent to the President, and by him returned ap? proved. It was afterwards submitted tx-? the States and ratified. This is a similar measure, but the radicals aro afraid of Andrew Johnson and the unanswerable arguments he would use in vetoing it, and therefore it is pro? posed to order the officers of both houses to forward it to the respective States. Such thimble-rigging, we think, was never witnessed in any legislative body before. Ignoring a number of States-ignoring the right of the peo? ple in every State to bo heard on the subject-ignoring a plain provision of the Constitution-they are driving their measures through at a break? neck pace, but may find, after idl their contempt for every other brandi of the Government, the Supreme Court, and the United States District Courts throughout the country, will be an obstacle they will not overcome so easily. Cotton. The advices recently from Liver? pool say, that during the four mouths ending May 1, the Southern States of America have furnished fully one-half of the cotton imported ituo England from all countries. This is a significant fact, inasmuch that every bale of cotton exported is equal to so much specie, and therefore to the extent of its value prevents the immense exhaustion of the precious metal from this side, which, notwith? standing the large exportation of cot? ton, has amounted within a month to over $41,000,000. Aud yet this is tho great and go? verning staple the factious majority in Congress wish to clog and fetter, both in its production and exporta? tion, by a retaliatory tax. We say rektliauny, for no business interest in the country requires such a tax, and it is only imposed to gratify the malice and spite of the radicals, and, if possible, to punish the South still further than she has already suffered. Could political madness go further? CHARLESTON ITEMS.-Messrs. W. T. Wragg, S. Ci. Courtenay and J. F. O'Neill have been elected Aldermer. of tho city to supply vacancies. Lieutenant H. W.

A correspondent of the New York Times thus writes: On the islands in the vicinity of Beaufort, a different state of affairs exists. The plantations on them were abandoned early in the war by the owners, and the freedmen have been working them more or less ever since. In some cases, they haye suc? ceeded admirably, and a few of them have already become comparatively independent, but the majority are no better off now than when they com? menced. Thc improvident character of the freedmen led them to spend as fast as they earned, and the result is, that they have been obliged to begin anew every year. They had extrava? gant notions about planting, and imi? tated the example of their former masters. Among other foolish ven? tures, they raised $20,000, by sub? scriptions ranging from $15 to 8100 each, and bought a steamboat, giving a mortgage on the vessel to secure the payment of another ?10,000. The idea of owning steamboat stock was seductive to the minds of these sim? ple people, so they formed au organ? ization, which they styled the "Star Spangled Banner Association," and made the purchase. Tho boat is now beached, on St. John's Island, and the 810,000 mortgage will soon be foreclosed. They will, therefore, lose what, to them, is a large amount of money. Beaufort is nearly Yankeeized, one 1,alf of the present, residents hailing from Massachusetts and other New England States. Previous to the war it was one of the most exclusive and aristocratic sea-side resorts in the South. The Sea Island planters owned summer residences within itu limits and would not allow the erec tiou of a hotel. Sti-ungers, there? fore, wore excluded from enjoying itc many beauties and comforts, it is now noted for its immense number ol donkey carts, bank ponies, small ne? groes and pretty Yankee school? marms, to say nothing about tho sand and concomitant insects knowu a? ?ea.s. .Many of the Northerners art leaving now, some going home tc stay permanently, and others to re muin during thc summer. The first thing that attracts attentiou on ap proaehing the wharf is the larg( number of darkey children, as wei as full grown darkey adults. 1 infer from what I have seen, that one third of the colored population spent their time on thc docks continually Some of the boys and girls exhibite< evidence of schooling by spelling tin names of consignees on the expr?s; and freight packages. They wore al anxious to carry baggage and do smal jobs, charging exhorbitantly therefor but did not evince any desire to go t< work permanently. There is n< doubt that the freedmen here an somewhat demoralized. They hav< hod among thom, during the war, i large number of philanthropic ?peen labors, who, while they made moue; out of them, instilled foolish ideas o antagonism towards their old mas ters. They cull the native white "rebels" and speak of them as thei "enemies," and use all the pet phrase common with their mouoj--mukin? white friends from the North. No one will pretend to deny th fact that there are honest philan thropists iu the South laboring fo the benefit of the freedmen, but fror what I have seen and heard, 1 ar always half inclined to put a mn down as a rascal who is engaged ii aidiug them. It is certainly a ver suspicious circumstance that many c the Massachusetts "friends," wh came down here several years ag almost penniless, arc now going bac with plenty of money. The truth < the matter is, that the freedmen huv been plundered by land-sharks froi the North, disguised as friends, wh are now leaving them to the tend< mercies of the master they huv taught them to hate. The foinal school-teachers, sent down herc b benevolent associations, are about th onlv true philanthropists that I tim and they are often used by outside] as mediators between them .-nd th money of tho blacks. It may seei strange to some that the blacks ai now so poor, when they have in man inshmces worked hard mid faithfull during the past few years; but it easily accounted for when it is know that their friends have grown rid Instead of economy, they have bee taught to be extravagant, for it oui needed au example in order to dev lop astounding wasteful abilitie Their tastes for bright collars, swee meats, jewelry, buggy-ridiug, un "fast things" generally, have prov?, a perfect mino to tho false men i whom they trusted. -*-? ^ ? ?? A raid was made on the stores ar booths, at City Point, Va., on Thur day last, by u number of soldiers b longing to thc 12th (white) Unit?

IN THE WRONG PEW. -Au old gentle? man from Kentucky left his hotel to attend the meeting of the Old School Presbyterian General Assembly, at the corner of Fifth and Walnut streets. By mistake he found himself in the Olympic Theatre, a few doors below the cherch. Taking a seat in one of the very elegantly cushioned "pews," he inquired of a gentleman sitting near, if "old Bob" was not expected to speak. "Oh, yes," was the reply, "he will be out in u minute." lu a short time Aymor, the clown, made his appearance, and commenced apolitical speech. ' 'That'? the man you are looking for," said the stranger to the Kentuckian. "Who, is that old Bob? Well, he's a little more ring-streaked and striped than I supposed he had got to be, but his speech reminded me of old times in Kentuck." Mad.
