_ COLTJMBLv. Friday Morning, September 21,1866. Social Changes. War is a great leveller of social dis? tinctions, iu tho communities suffer? ing from the losses aud deprivations where it has spent its fury and where its ravages were most destructive. This lias been strikingly illustrated in ' the South daring the past eighteen months. Men who have been, in times past, large landed proprietors, with their overseers and h rt laired s of laborers ; men also, who had held high positions in society before the war, may now be seen honestly and honor? ably accepting the loss of their pro? perty and engaging in laborious in? dustry-the former holding their own ploughs, and the latter sedu? lously engaged in callings, which, in former times, would probably have been nearly considered menial, or, at least, below their stations in life. But this honorable acceptance of an altered condition is not confined to the male portion of. the popula? tion. Southern women, upon whom it might bo supposed these reverses of fortune would have fallen most heavily, have been among tho fore? most in accepting thc new order of things, and have amply refuted, by their conduct, Hie oft-repeated slan? ders of the enemies of their section, that they wero indolent and extrava? gant. It is not only in the instances of the noble wives of Gener?is Folk, of Tennessee, and Hansom, of North Carolina, that we find these splendid illustrations of true womanhood under adversity; they may bc seen in other and humbler walks of life, where ai j honestly-gained competency once af forded at least a life of comfort; there may be ;?een diligent fingers, plying the needle, to aid in support of fami? lies. All such instances reflect tho highest credit upon a people over? whelmed and bowed down under tho crashing calamities of war. But we regret to say that there are exceptions lo this general rule. The New Orleans Delta, in citing some of the more prominent men and women who have gone to work with a will if not wholly able to retrieve tl rei r broken fortunes, at least to maintain themselves and families-says, and, unfortunately, too truly: ' 'Still there are many-we wish the number were less-who, from lack of talent, or energy, show that the wealth that has passed from their families has passed never to return. We think we could point to more than one young man of superior edu? cation, and perhaps of superior busi? ness qualifications, who yet live along nobody knows how, and obtain then supplies nobody knows where; who have made up their mind to he any? thing, dy anything, rather than.hard labor, and who are much more fami? liar with bar-rooms and the rendez? vous of the idle than with places of business." This is too true. Such idlers are not willing to labor at callings which they regard degrading-that is, at hard, downright toil ; and unless there is a reformation wrought amongst this class, or until they die out or sink from the knowledge of their former friends by their indolence and . vice, they will feel that they are jus? tified in resorting to any shifts to escape this fancied degradation. But the instincts of patriotism, as weil as the considerations of indivi nual self-respect, should effect a wholesome change in this respect. Young men who fought gallantly on many a battle-field, in defence of the rights, as they conceived them, of their section, should learn that, on the grounding of their weapons of warfare, they were transferred to an? other battle-fieid, in which their con? duct os much effects the welfare and interests of that section as it did amid the clash of arms. Young women who, patriotically disposed during tho war, diligently plied the needle in making up clothing for the brave men in the field, or who ministered to the suffer? ings in the hospitals of the South, should understand that their labors for that South did not cease with the downfall of her cause. The truth is, the Routh must ra? pidly recuperate, or her people will sink into a state of vassalage to those whom heretofore they affected to sneer at for their keenness in busi? ness, or their tact in acquiring wealth. The resources of the South aro toe rich and attractive to be passed by, and if her own people do not go tc work to develop them, others-will, and they will bo ovated. The greai wc rk of recuperation for her deinamh the active brain, the determined will, and the willing hand of toil of every son and daughter within her limits; but if, through indolence, or a?erimi nal neglect of the plainest duties, they refuse to givo theso to savo her and themselves, while she will be re? cuperated and again become- prosper? ous by means of foreign agencies, they will find themselves in a much more ignoble condition than that to which their fancied degradation could ever reduce tl icm. Thc Bureau In Texas* It has been noticed some time ago that the editor of the Brenham (Texas) Banner hud been imprisoned by order of one of the agents of the Freedmen's Bureau, for rebuking the misconduct of one of the attaches of that institution -a teacher of one of the colored schools. Air. McGary, the editor, refused to pay a fine of $250; imposed, as he thought, unjust? ly, for writing a deserved (.ensure. Not paying, he wis imprisoned; but at the end of three weeks, by the in? terposition of Gov. Throckmortou, he was released. In the next, issue of his paper, there appeared at the head of his cola inns ti fourth of July can? non of tho old style, and under it the following editorial notes of exulta? tion: "Brilliant victory. Terminatio of the conflict. Thc Bureau surren? ders ! ! ! The press victorious. The Banner still waves." The conclu dou o f the article under the above caption was as follows: "The civil law again asserts its su? premacy-the citizen once more breathes an atmosphere of liberty, and our right to edit a free und inde? pendent pupor is fully vindicated. "The 'Brenham Amateurs' are at the door. Sweet, melodious, elo? quent music breaks upon the stillness of our chamber; so turning Craig and his Bureau over to their natural reversionary proprietors, the imps of darkness, we will ?-lose the chapter, and clasp hands with the kind friends from whom, for thre<; weeks past, we have been separated by Federal guards and the thick walls of a loath? some jail." But now what followed? On the night of the 8th instant, the doomed town of Brenham bc;caine a scene ol conflagration anil bloodshed. Thc negroes had a dance in town, which was broken up by some intoxicated soldiers of the garrison. They then proceeded to break up a small social party of citizens in ?mother locality, and striking several gentlemen witl loaded sticks or slung-shots. This affair resulted iu the death of one o! the assailants. The soldiers returnee with reinforcements, fired severn shots in front of tint Banner office, and wound nj) by breaking into : store beneath that ellice, and, aftei plundering the store, tired the build ing. Tin? Banner office was destroy ed, and not even a file of the pape: left. The loss by tho fire was abott SST, OOO. Such is the condition of things it Texas, and it is a sad commentary ot the assumed validity of two peac< proclamations ami the "restoration o civil authority." The matter, it i presumed, will lie investigated, ant it is I'o bo hoped tin; guilty partie may be properly dealt with. APPREHENDED A ss ASSIXATIOX. -Th National Intelligencer, by no means : sensational journal, speaking of th "clamorous tumult'' which ton' place at Indianapolis on the occasioi of the President'.* visit, concludes it article as follows: " Clamorous tumult, did we say We would lie willing greatly t heighten the expression, and forg< and forgive the infamy forever, : we, in common with too many others were not weighed down liv the a j prehension of suspicion that a dar and deep crime was meditated 1? i some, and would have been committe had the riot ?ind murderous violent assumed larger proportions, to tl; advantage ol' the great number < wretches who succeeded in preven ing the President from replying t the welcome of General Meredith. he hail persisted, upon the call from ll peuple, his life mhjftt hart: been taken! the murderous aim <f ile' assassin. ? . GRAST AM? THE NF.XT PUESUM?NC The Herald, of Friday, says: From the troubled aspect of publ affairs, we have hut little doubt that will be. as necessary to elect Grant I the Presidency tn save the contry ? lHtiKas it was necessary to call him : the chief command ol' the army i save the country i a I SOM. With hi in the White House, allparlicx won bo satisfied and all animosities a i snaged. - .-..*-? Mr. W. P. Wilson, of Meinphi ? publishes a letter addressed to tv bookselling linns in New York, . which he alleges that they have ne in their possession, and oiler for sal 1 law books which wens stolen fro his law offices in the spring ol' 18C Kiln cut lon of the Freedmen. We have on several occasions re? ferred .to this subject. Old prejudices are difficult to overcome, and these prejudices in relation to this matter, have been strengthened iu no small degree, from the fact that the North? ern people, under the auspices of the Government, and the immediate direction of that incubus, tho Freed? men's Bureau, established schools for their wards, putting over them teachers who maligned and traduced the Southern people and taught in some places, insolence and hatred moro than anything else. On ac? count of this state of things, tho Now Orleans Picayune says tho people felt a strong repugnance to negro schools and to tho teachers of such. But reflection has taught the people in many quarters, t hat so long as tho negroes are willing to learn, they will lind teachers, and as the I'ic,lynne remarks, knowledge will not make them any the less useful or well ordered constituents of the. commu? nity. It is to .lu; interest ol' the white as well as the black, that they should receive tho education which their own means or Hu: liberality of I others, can fitton! thom. If, thou, these people ought lo receive suit? able education for their station ami usefulness in society, the question is, who shall teach them? The Colum? bus (Mississippi) Sun has au article on this subject, and on tiiis latter pi ?int says: Wc arc unhesitatingly in favor of educating thc freed people, if edu? cation brings with it a higher tone of morals ami a greater degree of civili? zation-as it. undoubtedly docs-to thc white race, there can bc no reason why thc same result cannot or will not obtain with the black race. This granted, the question presents itself with great force, who shall Ix; the instructors ol' this latter named class? All, we think, willagree that they should -be of our own people. Now, then, will our people do-'it? To induce sonic of them to undertake it herc, is thc object o? this article, g While all with whom wc have con? versed on thc subject, agree with us that this ought to bc done, yet the difficulty presents itself that few, if any, among us, ari1 willing to step out of the beaten track of the past, and enter upon thc new and philanthropic one that is marked ogt, and must be occupied by either Northern or Southern people: Beyond thc result of former edu? cation and habit, . we can see no reason why some of our people who arc competent should not undertake this work. We arc not aware that it has ever been looked upon hitherto us an act bringing social disgrace with it, or loss of caste, for any of our men 01 women to dedicate their lives and talents in the missionary Acids ol Africa and Asia. If it was right and proper in former days for our people to engage in such good work abroad, how much more right and proper i it thal .other* of us should engage ii: thc same kind of work right here al home. The sum and substance of the mat ter is embraced in two propositions. ls it to the advantage of all concerne? that these people should he taught and this being admitted, is it no infinitely preferable that they shoulc be taught by those among whom thc} were reared, than by teachers of tin Freedmen's Bureau, or others sen from the Nortis, whose only preju dices and education are opposed t< j our ideas, and arc antagonistic tu tin ! best interests of both laces at tin i South. These propositions are witl the South- ru people, with all tin i lights b. fore them, to solve for them selves. Stud- Hems. I ANDERSON*.

The Constitutional Amenilinrnt. As the Constitutional amendments adopted at tho last session of tho rump Con? gress, will undoubtedly be the condition of tho admission of the Southern States; and as the New York Herald, and some other semi-aonservative and soini-cougressional papers, earnestly urge the ratification of thia amendment on the Legislatures and people of tho South, wo take hom an article in tho Herald its explanation and comments on its various sections. Will tho South swallow such a done? Tho first section of this amendment de? claros the equality in their civil rights of all persona^ all colors, born or naturalized in the Unitoff States and subject to their jurisdiction. It ?trikes us that as the in? stitution of African slavery and all its collateral Securities have boen wiped out of the Constitution by tho amendment abolishing slavery tbi.s now amendment, in its first Beet ion, is only a re-affirmation of the instrument as ii now statuta; for in taking out slavery no distinction in rela? tion to the African race remains in the Constitution none whatever. Thesecond section of the new amendment provides that suffrage and representation shall go together, and that as the respective States shall abridge the suffrage tp males ol twenty-one years in reference to the elec? tions of Federal and State officers thc enum? eration of their people for representation in Congress shall be correspondingly re? duced. This is a pretty severe teat, as wc have shown, to South Carolina ; but, or t he ot her hand, if she can exclude her foul hundred thousand blacks from suffrage, and give? toiler three hundred thousaac whites a representation in Congress o neveu hundred thousand people, it will bc pleaded that seven white mon in New Yuri or any other Northern state arc red ace? to the level in-Congrcss of three white mei in South Caroona ; and thus this distinc tiou, while it lasts, will bo made a therai of mischievous sectional agitation. Code: thc Constitution, bet?re tho rebellion, onl; three-fifths of the slaves of tin; South Werl allowed in counting the people for reprc sentation in Congress, but this was anion; the concessions to slavery which ha strengthed the hands of the Northen Abolit ionists. Section throe of the new amendment ex eludes from any Federal office hereaftei until relieved by a two-thirds vote id' ead House of Congress, certain parlies wit? m tie- service of tin- Unite?! States, ha sworn to support tho Constitution an afterwards jomcd thu rebellion. This uta seem to many generous minds too swee| ing in ils exclusions ; but as it is appareil thal it meets the prevailing tone an temper of the Union war party of th North the boot th?: South can do is to a? cept it, and trust to tho healing inrlueitc? of re-union to obliterate in a general la of Congress, by a two-thirds voie, all ilii tinctions between rebels and Unionists < the late war. We daresay it will very soe come to this- tfitll the adoption of ih arm-ndinont by the Southern States. lint seetini! four, in regard to the u; tional war debt, all rebel debts and oblig lions, and t > compensation for eniant pated slaves as a measure of security IV the future, embodies the great secret tin- strength of this Constitutional amen ment in the Northern States, lb-rein Iii the great power of tin- lt, publican prrty the North, though out oft from tho Adu lustration, lt is the power of three tho .saud millions of dollars diffused in tl national currency and securities brine cast over the land. Hence we say th sound policy and wisdom call upon tl Administration and the South to acce and aid in the ratification of this Constit tional amendment without further loss lime. -< # ? >- - Tile Moilun Jtieoltius.
