COLUMBIA. Sunday Morning-, July 22. 1866. Wim? Darn it Mian! On-the 18th inst-.. Gai,. Sheridan issued an order prohibition tho erec? tion, in his ilivision, of any monu? ment in memory of the rebellion, or the formation of companies, batt iv ries, brigades, Are. On the 19th, ? telegram informed us ho had recalled that order, and it was to be prewumed that ho had received orders to that effect from Washington; but, 1<>! and behold! a despatch published yester? day morning, dated New Orleans, 20th, announces that the Virginia Valley General liad formally pub? lished his original order. People may well ash what does all thia ceaseless persecution of the Southern people mean? If ladies intermingle tiny flags-representing "the conquered banner"-among evergreens, as innocent emblems and mementoes of the cause their friends and relatives fell in defend? ing, forthwith a military officer is sent to investigate whether these little one or two inch-square emblems are not freshly-hatched symbols of another rebellion. Now, by special order, the pobple of Louisiana are forbidden to erect monuments, tomb? stones, ?ic; over the remains of the gallant dead. They cannot inscribe on tho marble that my son, brother or husband fell on such a held in de? fence of the cause he had espoused ; tiieso graves nvust remain without any tablet to their memory, by com? mand of Qpn. Sheri dan! What, does it mean? These petty acts of miEtary officers, intruding within the sacred precincts of grave? yards and cemeteries, what do they mean? God, who searcheth the hearts of all men, only knows. If they are merely the acts of men ex? ercising "a little brief authority," they ara only the failings of poor weak human nature, as they have ap? peared in every age-if they are in? tended to "goad tlie people of the South to "disloyal" (so-called) acts, they will fail of their intent, because the peoplo can afford to wait to erect their tomb-stones and head-boards, until "the good time coming," with? out violation of the terms they have accepted; but, if they are intended to indicate that the work of subju? gation is yet incomplete, then are they nt variance with the avowed policy of the President for the resto? ration of unity and peaco to our un? happy country, and should forthwith bc* pnt a stop to by his mandate as Commander-in-chief of the Armies1 of the United States. DISTURBANCE TN GREENVILLE.-Tho | tireenville papers state that on Sun-1 day afternoon last, a difficulty occur- j red between a citizen and a freedman ! -in which the former received a se- ' vere blow on the head with a stick, and the latter seriously stabbed. At large gathering of freedmen took j place shortly afterwards, at which threats were-made to burn the town. ' if certain requisilions were not com- ' plied with. Several stables and barns, ; hi tho vicinity of the town, were j burned, when, at last, the whites ral-1 lied, and succeeded in quelling the disturbance. We are gratified to learn that since the affair alluded to, ! several of tho respectable and wei! informed freedmen have been exert ing themselves, by good counsel, to prevent ?my r?currence ol similar, scenes. Mit. D.SYIS AND THE JUDICIAKT j ( 'OMMITTEE. -The Washington cor? respondent of the New York Tribune writes tho following stuff: "Tho House Judiciary Committee aro en? gaged upon their report in the Jeff. Davis case. Tt will not be made for yinno days yet. Ti ?ey have elicited some very important facts relative to Davis' complicity with the Lincoln .issnssination, but they may not be sufficient to warrant his being put ?ni bis trial. The committee, however, hope to be able before long to un? ravel Romo mysteries which seem t? ? hing around this remarkable case.'' i bo steamship Sun Salvador ar? rived rt Tybce, near Savannah, on tho 18th, with several hundred sol? diers on board.

McQueen, a celebrated stat ic ian. ita hia account of tho annual .wealth j and income of England, at the time ho made up his co rn pend, illustrates | with greut force what manufactures ; can do towards the prosperity of a j country, it appears from his statis- ! tics that the raine of the soil de- '; voted to agriculture, embraced at that time twenty-six-forty-thirds of th? wealth <d* the whole kingdom, and that its value was twelve* times greater than all tho capi? tal invested in manufactures and commerce- -theselatter, including her ships, being only one-eighteenth of her national wealth. The agricultu? ral capital was ?3,311,000,000, pro? ducing 13 per cent, profit, while the manufacturing capital, only ?218. - 000,000, produced 120 per cent, profit, Comnicutiug upon these facts, tho New York Tribune says that this little capital of ?218,000,000 invested in machinery, mills, furnaces, factories and mines, has swollen thc farming capital of little England to the gi? gantic sum of -?3,311,000,000, and made a British farm worth ten times as much as one in wheat-growing Po? land, which only grows wheat and buys goods instead of making them. Our object in bringing these figures before our readers is to impress them with the great necessity of embarking in manufacturing enterprises tis a powerful agency in the resuscitation of their fortunes, lu England, the manufactories have doubled and tre? bled her population and sustained her immense commerce. The same cause eau produce like results at thc South, yea, to a four-fold degree, be causo lier soil and climate uro une? qualled by any country on the face of the globe. And now, when a new system of labor has to be introduced, wlicu hostile legislation is texing bei raw materials, it is the time, above all times, to enter upou that new fiele of enterprise, which will not only secure the labor she requires, bul which, in the manufacture and salt of her own products, will, as if by magic, restore ber not only to formet prosperity, but to wealth and great ness. Tho people of the South shonlc cousider these things. I'Vi-tling I'liion Priiiotirva. Wc find the following paragraph ir our Northern exchanges: "Bio PAY.- At the evening sessior of the United States Senate, on Tues day, a bill was passed to pay Mrs Amelia Pheester, of Columbia, Sou tl Carolina, 810,000 for food and cloth ing furnished to Union soldiers nn< officers while in prison at thal pine? during the war." The Mrs. Feaster, to whom tin above item refers, was a resident o this city until the departure of Gene ml Sherman's army from its ruin? which army she uecompaniad. W< do not know that we have any righ to grumble at any disposition o Uncle Sum's money the radicals ma; make, although we have to subscribe in the shape of taxes, to his eleema synary institutions, yet we would sng gest that the Commit tee on Finance c the House give the above claim a thc rough investigation. Mrs. P., at th beginning of the war, and, indeed we believe, was throughout, until he departure, au ardent female "rebel, mid all our citizens will remombf the grand hubbub in front of lu house, when, from her own piazzi she presented a banner-the first, \v believe, that was presented to an rebel corps in this city-to that ga Iant company, the ''Butler Guards, from Greenville. There were otlu small evidences of her loyalty to tl now "lost cause," but we will n< mention them. As to her preset claim, we have; no definite inform: tion; but if she supplied these nece saries to the Union soldiers in prise here, we do md think five citizens < Columbia were aware of tho fae W?> know this, that thc Confedera commissary stripped this market ar the surrounding farm-houses cvot day to feed the prisoners while tin were lodged hore or in the camp ov< the river; so that wo think it b proper this claim should be proper "ventilated" by the new "retrenc ment committee" of Congress. -C . o-_ Sun Francisco despatches announ the sailing from that port of nu e\f di tion, ostensibly intended for t I Colorado, but, in reality, designed invade Sonora in the interests of t .Tnarists. The force consisted of 1 disbanded California volunteers, w armed, and well supplied with mon and munitions. There 1? a Remedy. Our ruinous condition can bat be felt seriously and ominously by every thinking and sympathetic mind of South Carolina. It matters not, how? ever, how much wo may lament over our own ruins, or how much wo may symiMtthizo with others in like condi? tion, if we endeavor not to apply some radical und efficient remedy. I alindo particularly to tho debts of the people. Can a remedy, paramount to the disease, be applied? I answer, it can be approximated, und only ap? proximated, and that by a modifica? tion of nil the debts existing at the timo of tho surrender. To preserve justice, honor and honesty-to live and let live-no other equitable reme? dy can be applied, in my opinion, but to modify tho debts as tliey now staud-being in existence at tho time of tho surrender-according to thc assets of the debtors now, compared with what they were previous to thal time. Can this bc done legally? 1 answer, it can -cither by the Legisla' ture, or by tho people, in convention, through their agents. All tho indi vidual or private debts might be modi ried by the parties themselves or b} arbitration; but all those in the hand: of executors, administrators, guard ians or trustees, cannot thus be set tied; consequently some legislativi action is absolutely necessary on tin subject. It is generally known that thc Con stitution of the United States, an< that of our own State, forbid any lav being made impairing tho obligatioi of contracts. This, I admit, is strict! true, and should be so in all l>oiui Jul I and unassailable contracts; but it i also equally true, that a contract vic lated on the one part is not bindin, on the other part, and that souu< price guarantees sound property, Arc Now, lam persuaded, and, therefore maintain, that a very large majorit of the contracts of our people ar already virtually violated, on tho on part, by the lawgiver himself dispo: Kessin g the obligors in said contrae! of at least three-fourths of the cons deration embraced Hierein, and, nls< of all the rights and titles therount appertaining-(I allude particular! to the slave property.) Furthermor? it is obvious that the obligors in sai contracts have failed to mnintai good and valid rights or titles to sai considerations; consequently the huve violated the contracts on th ono part, which, therefore, is an shall be null and void on the otln part. :1S far as tue equity of the ca. can be attained by modifying til debts that have either directly or it directly grown out of them. It migl be urged against a general modifie: ti on <d' debts, that a great many wei for loaned money, huid. Ac. ; to whic I would say, if they were, it is wc known that at least three-fourths < the debts, especially among farmer were predicated upon tho slave pn porty, and to that proportion wei toe direct, or indirect cans* of tl debts, and thc best means of gi ing faith to the creditors, and tl only reliable means tho debtors lu to make the money to pay the deb thereof. It is also true that a large majori of the money thus loaued was only transmutation of the negro from tl field or house to the pocket Cons qaently, equity can be approximate in the great confusion of things, mo closely than any other way, for t! people, through their agents, to d ?.larc null and void the .same prop? tion of tho dues to the creditors has already been sustained by tl debtor.;, in being dispossessed property guaranteed not only by a di tors, but by the laws of their con try, to bo theirs, not only by posse si?ii, but good and valid in tit Their rights in tho contract II grave, but if tho one was good, t other was equally good; the Crover ment that protects the one must ? fend tho other; if tho law annuls ? one, it must make null and void t other. The creditors may argue th are nul accountable, not being al to prevent ; they were forced to si mit to tho violation of the contri on their part This is certainly tri but at tho same time ?loes not mi gate the evils of the. breach in its fects on the debtors; it does not. pr tiddly or equitably alter the ease 1 tween tho parties. Neither is pertinent to a true solution of t case whether the Government 1 done right or done wrong. It i fixed fact, and it necessarily folio in truth and justice, that the sa Government- -or the people, throi their agents - are fully competent, : are morally bound in equity, to just the whole matter between parties, by making what is consido by sumo only a just and moral o' gation on tho part of tb? credit ; an unmistakable legal necessity; ? in doing so, no further break in contracts need be made than reas justice and honesty will dictate tc perfectly rigid. It may be further argued by s< that the debtors iu this case siam' the same unfortunate condition a the consideration had been remo by death or accident : when, indi ! there is no analogy only in the sin j fact, that in either caso they are ? possessed of the property. In ! first case, something has transp tiley did not contemplate; neither had they any right or just canse to expect or to fear euch a thing, because both tho creditors and the laws of their country guaranteed them against such a contingency; but, in the socoud case, thoy would have no guarantee. They would expect, anti ere wo know, such a contingency, sooner or later, would happen; it would bo altogether a matter of speculation-a good bar? gain or abad one, according to the lifo ti me of the property; in the first case, there is not only a guarnntee-an in? surance-making tho party reapousi bli', cither by restoration, compensa tion, or making null and void th? obligations; but. in the second cane there would be not only no guarantee but no looked for remedy, cither pre sent or prospective; in the first case there is a breat h of faith-a violatior of a solemn contract; but, in tin second case, there would be no bread of faith br contract; nothing aiinph but ii misfortune, which, at sonn time, was inevitable; therefore, then is no parallel in the two cases. How ever, to have met the case fully an? rightfully, mid to have obviated al doubts ?md ambiguity on the subject the Government, inasmuch as it ha exercised thc right to dispossess u of the negro property, without corn pensation, should also have exorcisei the right, by declaring, in the (Jon stitution, that, all the debts predi cated upon said property, to be uni and void, in some certain and prc purtionate degree. Such a provisio might, if necessary, be yet engrafte in the Constitution. It would b statesmanlike, in the present ernei gency; our disease is a specific dh ease and requires a specific and sui remedy. IVrhaps sueh un one wi not l?e needed in our country agai during time. Nevertheless, it is non tin: loss important for us now; th prosperity, a life-giving energy, ye: the salvation (d' our country, depeui upon such a measure being carrie: out in some legal form. Thus, tl creditors and debtors would be place in their proper and true relative? coi ditions. If, however, our legislate art? not satisfied, they have legal lat j tude enough to apply a suitab r remedy to the necessities <>f the pe' I pie; they should call a convention i j thc State, and, it' the convention j when assembled, are incompetent ' act, without previous action by tl United State... then let the colive tion memorialize Congress on tl subject, and test what they will d 1 We must not fold our hands midgi j up in despair, until we have failed j the last resort. Tell tue not there j no remedy; I will riot, I cannot b I lieve it. JUSTUTA ET VERITAS. -? . Tile Kn. ft icu 1 Couspirnrj-. I In confirmation of Mr. Raymore: letter, from which we extracted y< terday, wc publish below a paragra] from tho editorial comment-} on tl: ; letter by the Timi's hisownjourn j These remarks are strong and for ble, und place Mr. Raymond in more enviable position than thought he occupied, as it was : ported he had gone over to the < trenicst of th?: extremes.

The following are t I comments of the Titans: '.'The country is informed, ii] no les-; respectable authority tl that of the !'resident of the Natio Executive Committee of tho Rep ul cnn party, a member, also, of House of Representatives-Mr. R mond that the radicals in and uni 1 Congress have projected and plant a political revolution, are already j paring a new civil war - a war not ! sections, but of neighborhoods. is not possible to over-estimate i importance of this annouueenn and Mr. Raymond deserves thanks of all tho ie who do not th ' for a fiercer earuage that eau find rahel anywhere, save in Paris, dui the revoluti.<n of '.?'J, forhisexpo? of tho radical plots, made openly the Tina's, under his own initials well as for giving publicity to violent and reckless proceeding the late caucus, which were suel to prepare the country to bel nothing too desperate or costly w] promises their revolution sue?

A Washington special contains the following: A prominent citizen of Missouri, ami an old friend of Mr. Johnson, called yesterday at tho White House with Mr. Tilomas E. Noel, in i-dation to tho peculiar political posit ion of Missouri. The object of these gen? tlemen was to apprise the President of the fact that Gov. Fletcher and the radicals of the State had boldly threatened to carry the coming elec? tion by force of arms; and that they 'were'-organising their militia and secret leagues for that purpose. They stated that arms were being shipped to different parts of the State, and that an effort would bo made to send companies of radical militia, commanded by appointees of Gov. Fletcher, with negro troops, into the large conservative counties, . for the purpose of deterring thc peo? ple frrim votiug, or forcing them to vote the radical ticket in ?elf-protec tiou. They asked the President whether he intended that Gov. Fletcher, McNeil, and others like them, should have control of tho military depart? ment, and whether the people were to be left at the mercy of Fletcher's militia and negro troops. The President replied that without intending to make any political issue with Gov. Fletcher, he would see that the people wore protected in the full enjoyment of their civil and po? litical rights. Mr. Noel then naid: "But suppose, Mr. President, that the citizens ot i any County apply to the Commander of the District Department, aud he refuses to interfere for their protec? tion?" "Then apply to the Secretary ol War." replied the President. "But our people will not apply t< ! him," said Mr. Noel, j "Then apply to me," said the Pre I sident. "It is the duty of tho Ex ecutive to protect all citizens of tin ; United States from all violence j while in the enjoyment of theil : rights as citizens." ' GEN. KILPATRICK..-It having beei I asserted in a Northern paper that th? immoral charges against Kilpatrick ' were, unfounded, the Augusta diront j eic HIKI Sentinel replica: If rebel testimony be allowed, In 1 can be convicted of conduct quite n infamous, at a dozen places wher he chanced to stay all night ii ; Georgia, as anything alleged agains j him at Valparaiso.

TAX ON INCOMES.-A eas.- is b?in prepared bv a citizen of Springfich ' 111., t?test", before the United Stab Supreme Court, the constitutional! ; of ineome tax. This person repor an income of 5?52.(kk), but, protestii ' against the legality of the tax. d dines to pay it, and will, when tl ; usual oumpulsory action is brougl ask an injunction from Judge Davi 1 of the United States Court, restrai ing the revenue collectors from a? ing. 15y this means the questi? will ultimately be brought before tl highest, judicial tribunal for ad judie tion. I The counsel who is engaged in pi j paring thc movement against t! income tax law, makes the followii ' poiuts: 1. Tho Federal Constitution pt i vides (artb le 1, section 2, paragra] 3,) that representatives und din ' taxes shall be appointed among t several States according to Hi i respective numbers. 2. An income tax is a direct tax, ? >. lt must therefore be apportion 1 among the several States according their numbers. ?1. Tln> income tax as now imp?t by Acts of Congress, isnot apport! ed among the States according their numbers, b it is laid by tho r of uniformity, i 5. The Acts of Congress impos 1 such income tax aro therefore i ' constitutional and void. Tho ? cannot be collected. BOUNTIES TO NEW ENGLAND .
