COLUMBI^ Friday Morning,. September 28, U566. j Will Sooth Cl?, roi tua Ace rpi: We publish an extract in another j column, from the New York Times an article designed, we presume, to he complimentary to South Caro? lina and Gov. Orr. In our opinion, it is not so to either, anti if the Times' \ comments are explanatory of the platform of the Philadelphia Con? vention, then did Henry J. Raymond play false in the prominent position he assumed in, that body. Ia the firet phv?o? the Times as? sumes that Gov. Orr's recommenda? tion to amend what was known as "The Code"-beiug a system of le? gislation for the colored people of the State-was the result of his Veiug a member of the - Philadelphia Con? vention. This is absurd; the code never went into operation in this State, and wo are free to say that threo-fonrths of our people were op- j -posed to its provisions. They were j opposed to it from necessity; for so j iong as the State was under military j rule, and provost courts took charge j of the interests of the freedmen, the I code was a nullity. As far ns we | know, it is so yet, with all its amend? ments, be it made at tho bidding of the Philadelphia Convention, or the military authorities. We have heard of no order dissolving the provost courts, and there is still a "General Commanding" of this department. Ia relation to this point, the amend? ment of tho code was a necessity-it ought never to have been passed--it j created a "negro court" in contra-dis Upction to courts for white men-it was repulsive, under the altered con? dition of the *negro, and found little favor among the people of South Carolina. The recommendation of Gov. Orr was natural, as a response ! to the sentiment of the people, and it was necessary, if we wanted the civil courts to take charge of the cole red violators of the laws of the State. They were taken care of by the provost courts, and it remains to be seen whether the legislation adopted in conformity to Gov. Orr's recommend? ation will avail. We donbt it, and will continue to be unbelieving, until an order from the War Department abrogates provost courts iu South Carolina. We have heard of causes against freedmen tried in one of these courts, for violations of civil and municipal law, in which the pun? ishment or penalty awarded was no? minal, and would be ridiculously so, if applied to a white man in one of the courts of the State. We have denied that Gov. Orr got his cue from tho Philadelphia Con? vention-he got it from -the known will of the people of South Carolina. But this is not the important point in the article of the Times. It is this: It says that the Act in relation to freedmen, passed at the extra session, "is a solid gain to the cause of resto? ration and thorough reconcilement if t?tere is not also a step l<tken toward the acceptance of the Constitutional Amendment." If tho Philadelphia Convention of the platform of which body, and the address issued by it, Mr. Ray? mond is the reputed author-was a cabal of political intriguers, then we regret that South Carolina was repre? sented in it, and that we ever advocat? ed its'measures or its anticipated use? fulness. If the recommendation of the Governor in relation to amending the laws for colored people, and the legis? lation consequent thereon, was an emanation or suggestion from Ray? mond's convention scheming, recog? nizing it, as he now says, as "a step towards the acceptance of the consti? tu? ional amendment," then we s;iy ihat the people of South Carolina have no part or lot in such intriguing. AVe do not believo that, unless they belie their past history, they will ever accept the amendment, and this for another reason tliau its disqualifying clause. The radical party aro now election? eering in some of the Northern States, on the ground that the" ratifi? cation of the constitutional amend? ment is all that Congress would ask of the South previous to restoration. The New York Ind?pendant, oue of their most influential organs, is '"in? dependent" enough to tell the truth iii relation to this, and tells every? body that tho South can como into the Union on no such conditions. It says : "God forbid! No leading Repub lican in Congress means to udtnit tl ie ten waiting States ?imply on the adoption of that amendment. These States are to bo admitted on no con? ditions short of tho equal political rights of their loyal citizens, without distinction of race. A reconstruction of the Union on any other basis would be a national dishonor. Until the rebel States can come back on this basis, they shall not come back at all." There is the truth, unpalateable as it may bo, boldly spoken. The Southern States may come in when they make thc negroes voters-and not before. Then we should say, don't go "back at all." The Presi? dent has, iu several messages, assert? ed that the question of suffrage must be left where the Constitution leaves it-to the States. Let not, then, this last vestige of State rights be yielded to the demands of fanaticism or thc designs of intriguing politicians. Let South Carolina) like her younger sister, Texas, reject the humili?tiug "amendment," which the Secretary of State, through official courtesy, forwarded to the Governors of> the several States- that is. when Gov. Orr submits it to the Legislature for their consideration. The Chicago Price Current, ot thc j 14th inst., says that the rascally managers of Wiggins, Bradford ?fc Co. "s swindling gift enterprise, who recently ran away from that city, carried dff at least $200,000, which they had gathered in from various parts of the country. There are mora of the same sort of fellows-ad? vertising extensively, and taking in money rapidly. Keep clear of them. Forney, in one of Iiis Pennsylvania speeches, says that t he President was complimentary when he classed him amongthe species of extinct ornithol? ogy. He may have complimented Forney, but we aro inclined to the opinion that lie was unnecessarily severe on the ducks. BISHOP GREGG.-We take the fol? lowing from tho Xew Orleans Pica? yune: A wide circle of friends, especially in this State and in South Carolina, and generally throughout the coun? try, will regret to learn of the heavy domestic affliction that has just be? fallen Bishop Gregg, ol' the Episco? pal Diocese of Texas. The cholera has broken out suddeuly at San An? tonio, his residence; and, us it always is in that limestone water section, has proven very fatal. Among its victims, wt; learn by a private letter, is the Bishop's eldest daughter and her husband. They had but lately been married. By the vicissitudes of the war, tho Bishop lost his eldest son-a blow that nearly prostrated him. Tins additional und grievous stroke will t^all for ?ill the patience und Christian fortitude this truly amiable and excellent minister is so eminently endowed with. We tender him our heartfelt sympathy in his severe trial. COTTOX C?0P IX GKOROTA AND TKXAS.-A letter from the heart of Georgia gives very gloomy accounts of the prospects o' the cotton crop, and adds that it is doubtful whether the yield of the State exceeds 150, 000 bules. The very highest estimate is 200,000 bales, which is less than one-third of tho growth of 1857 and ? 1860. In Lavaca County, Texas, a ! writer says the worms ami weather have cut th? crop short, but if tho planters can get the negroes to work and save the crop there will be over half an average made. A contemporary says that letters addressed to the editor, if they con tain "cuss words," "will be returned unopened." The above hus a decided smack of Tipperary. How could tho editor know tlie letters contained "cuss words" if he returned them unopen? ed? How could they be "returned," if they were not examined to see who wrote them? - - - - - - A suit now pending in ?lu? Chance? ry Court in England, hus gone to ?ni enormous length. The bill extends over some hundreds of folios; the interrogatories reach about the 1,600th folio, niul ns to tho answer, ! it contains 2,000 folios. It is hinted in Si. Louis, that a movement among tho Fenians is on the tapis, as then? have been many secret meetings and collections of arms in the city for several days.

Fifty years ago! Nothing when past; but as it regards a clim, length ened-out future, a long Ways off. Fifty years ago, thero lived-I w*as about to write down a formidable list of names, which would Charm tho oyo andgrievc tho heart; Como like shadows -so depart. Their fact's ?ire now looking down upon me-their forms are bending over this sheet upon which I am writing. Each would furnish his own photograph could the transcript be immediate, and give his own like? ness, sucli ?is it was. Che vidier D'Angla rd! There, 1 knew I should bc greeted with that well known smile of kindness and courtesy -that meek inclination of tbt; body-which betokens not merely assent, but benevolent sentiment, pe? culiar to the old regime of Franco, before Jacobinism had effaced that kindly spirit which lighted up the manners of a by-gone ago, D'Ang lurd was, when i tirst knew him, about sixty-five years old. He had left his chateau, in the neighborhood ol' Paris, the third year td' the reign of terror. He was of tho old noblesse -such as de Tocqueville has de? scribed-nothing of th&brusque mili? tary air, in language or manner, which enlightened and philosophic re p vbiicauiain subsequeutly int roduceil. A childless widower, he hmded in Charleston, and traveled in a wagon to the little hamlet of Saxo-Gotha now Granby. At tho beginning of the present century, ho removed tc Columbia-a small village of a few I houses. Ho supported himself by giving instruction on the piano. At j the time when I first became acquaint? ed with him, he was suffering from n wound received before leaving Eu rope. I offered him niy professions service, and was successful. ''Mon sieur, cette guenson m'uifuileJe ur f/omm* -Grace au Dieui" The humble cottage in whicl D'Anglard lived, occupied the sit? where our worthy friend Sterning uov pursues his craft. It was a small ceiled house, of two rooms, built o rough weather-boards well white washed within and without. Beside an old-fa hioned six-octave piano there was no other furniture, save few shelves for his books, ?x couple o oak-bottomed chairs and a sinai table. Over the mantle-piece hun; the portrait ?? a lady, whose costum -high-dressed hair and streamin ?lappets, eft cr dieu res aux Bourbons showed of former f?mes. The poi trait was so placed, in reference t ? the seat which the Chevalier occt j pied-that t he regards of the lad i were ever directed to him with tb i same affectionate, intelligent smil? j which, no doubt, greeted him in fo i nier days; and I am sure-exc?j when bent over his table, engaged i reading, writing or copying music there was ever going on cn int? change of kindly regards. Forevi ; blessed In; that art, which thus pr serves for us here below the expre I sion which lighted Up tin; faces I those who have been translated a happier abode. j Each morning, preci ely ut ti I .saint; hour-the Chevalier was wait? j upon by St. Pierrt-familiarly knov in the village by the name ol' Scipi : The first name suited him best-1 ; was a worthy name-sake ?d' the exe? lent Bernardine, Sr. Pierre. He w ] a St. Domiugan negro -a perruqui ? by profession. His residence was ? i the commons, nearljj,opposite thee j State House, adjoining and son: : what in the rear ol' Dr. Green's rc ! dence, in a small log-house of 1 j own construction, surrounded by j well-cultivated garden. St. Pict J was aged, gray-headed ?md limp j exceedingly in his walk. Yet he v> ? nimble, dexterous, always au f< ! ?md ilourishcd combs, scissors a ? curling-iron with a grace all his ow ! What was much moro, he was kit: affectionate and true, and was j? such an one as could administer the comforts ol' the Chevalier. , fact, as Lamb would have it, " was his Maker's countenance, ?-ut ; ebony." Indeed, so assiduously ? ' he attend t?> tin- comforts of the Cl . valier, that he seemed like the p I jected shadow of tho knight hims with this difference, that tin- ino incuts of thc original ami th?- shad | ?lid not correspond; not saying th after ?ill, S!. Pierre, like most s j ?lows, was a distorted imago of i Chevalier's form und presence. Pierre, in laid, succeeded, ?ts fur li?' was able, in anticipating ev I want <>f D'Anglard: ami after go i through tho morning's routine assisting the Chevalier in makin.-; ? toilet, h?< would gaze fulmirin ? upon th?- subject of Ins art, I : Apelles upon the picture ??f : finished Venus; and then go into village in quest of such things as thought might contribute t<> Inset for' V, ?nit a mysterious ?md blessed incidence!

The time carno when D'Angland was about to finish Iiis pilgrimage ou earth, in which, i truly believe, ho was supported by thc staff of faith. I was prevented by professional 011 Sagements from seeing him for some ays. .It was hito in tin* evening when I reached homo. St. Pierre was there, waiting for mc His counte? nance and manner showed that some? thing had gone wrong. IK- said the Chevalier was by no means well, lie had caught a cold, which 1 dbrought on a fever. Ptisans and fi -L bathing had done no good, und he WAS afraid the Chevalier was going to be very ill. 1 went 'round to his house: found him attempting to copy some mtisic which lay tm his table. He looked feeble and unwell. His pulse indi? cated a low type of fever, i tuged him to give up his occupation and go to bod. He s:iid, with Iiis usual smile and subdued, melancholy manner, "mon cher ami, ilfold treeailler." But he yielded to my wishes, und S1* Pierro assisted in pelting him to bi ". Hissickness was a long one. Throng!) out tho whole of it he showed the same patient meekness, thc same hu? mility of spirit and thankfulness,' re? cognizing attentions with the same habitual smile. On the fifth week of his illness, he was carefully removed, on a settee, to the hospitable resi? dence of Spencer John Mann, where, it is unnecessary to say. In' received every kind attention. When placed in bed, lie earnestly requested that the portrait of his wife should be brought from his house, lt was put over against him. on the wall, tit the foot of his bed. To this, until tho haze of death came over his eye sight, his attention was directed. When not occupied in attending to the comforts of the Chevalier, St. Pierre was kneeling at hi* bedside. The last rite of the dying man was performed by the resident Catholic Priest. The remains of D'Angland wore accompanied to the grave by St. Pierre, Spencer and rnvsclf. S AILE. Kart* vs. Theories?

AGNEV Se? >t 23 Position or the South. Thc following article wo take Cn ??: the Richmond Times: Tho indication? aro unmistakable that the abolition of slavery has not contributed in the slightest degree to eradicate those bitter sectional prejudices which it wa* supposed to have engendered. Wo think that, the approaching election in tho bor? der States, and in tho old free Stat' s, will make this fact apparent to every on. . Kentucky, Missouri and Maryland, "lur? ing tho late civil war, were arra ved against the South, or were coerced into an appa? rent hostility to us ".erv soon alter the war commenced, but as the sympathies of a very large pr ?port ion o? the people of tim-' States ivoro with the South, the "Union nu n." aided by the persuasive appeals of bayonets and ?.astil?-.-, erected in each of the States which wi- have named, strin? gent "registry laws" fer thc purpose of practically disfranchising all who sympa? thized with the Southern Confederacy. These acts, and the terrors of martini law, enabled the radicals to control the elec? tions in tip? s?- Stat--s until the close of the war; but they are now utterly unavailable: in enabling a minority to control the dis? franchised majority of tho voters. Public opinion has already asserted its supremacy ov. r flagitious legislation in Kentucky, where the authors of the disfranchising registry laws were lately beaten by a ma? jority of -10,(11)0 votes. And a very similar fate awaits thc radicals in Missouri amt Maryland. The obstructions which were thrown in tin- way of the majority of the ve*-rs have provedas flimsy as cobwebs, alni the old Southern Stales are now a unit for the speedy restoration of the Union, and the overthrow ?.f the revolu? tionists and disunionists. Divided during the war, they are awaiti united in political sentiment. Slavery has disappeared, but the sectional lines are as broad and strongly marked as they were before tlx- late civil strife. North of Ma? son a:'.d Dixon's line, we have the promise ..?' almost unbroken radical successes; South of it. tina conservative strength is scarcely broken by any respectable oppo? sition. The conservative influence of the insti? tution of slavery is still f?-lt in all the late slave State.-; tile failure of free society to give, security either to person or property is becoming more and more palpable and alarming every ?lay in thc rabid teachings ?>f Stevens ami his associates. Outside of the .-id slave States, the Constitution of our forefathers is tram ?dod upon, despised and distv garded. Within their hunts, it is still venerated and obeyed. S avery has ce ase? 1 to separate the North fnnn the South, but wo an- more widely divergent in political sentiment than before the war.
