COLUMBL*. Wednesday Morning, Oct. 3, 1866. Disfranchising tile "Whiles. The National Intelligencer say? that within tho last five years, we have set free four millions of slaves, und given them civil equality. But what has been the cost? One of the most gigantic civil wars ever known, in which, at least, half a mil? lion of lives were sacrificed. A na? tional debt of over ?3,000,000,000, lias been incurred, and, in conse? quence, the country hasbeen loaded with a burden of taxation under which it reels and staggers. Tho Intelligencer, very properly asks: "Is it not time to pause to take breath, to staunch tho wounds of the body politic, to restore peace and harmo? ny, and show some concern for our material interests?" lt would seem so. Yet there is a party iu this country who refuse to stand still a moment; who are keeping on to still further and moro radical reforms-demand? ing universal negro suffrage. The Intelligencer cites the speech of Mr. Boutwell, of Massachusetts, in opposition" to the adjournment of Congress, as throwing-? flood of light on the purposes of tho radicals, lle ferring to the then approaching assem? blage of tho so-called Louisiana Con? vention, he stated in substance that that Convention would disfranchise the rebels, and confer the elective franchise ou the negroes. The Intel? ligencer says: "What excitement, what agitation, what hatred, what a brood of convul? sions are prefigured in such a pro? gramme as this; and if it is carried out, as it certainly will be if this party have the power, what a future is be? fore us? A war of races, civil war, tho normal condition of society, the country treading in a path that leads but to despair, to the prostration oi the productive industry of the coun? try, to tli6 impossibility of free insti? tutions, to the protecting sword oi the conqueror, and the gulf of na tional bankruptcy." But, as that journal remarks, it is in vain you present this truthful pic ture to the fanatics who are marching on. They will answer you in some such imperative form of rigid mora logic as this: "All men are by na " ture created free and equal, and therefruro, universal anifrogo muot l>> given to the negroes." The philoso phy of this fanatical party drive: them forward, and they could no pause if they would. Mr. Calhoun, as far back as 1S37 proclaimed a great truth when hi said : "Emancipation itself would no satisfy these fanatics; that gained the next step would be to raise tin negroes to a social and political equal ity with the whites,, and that bein; e-ffected, we should find the presen condition of the two races reversed They and their Northern master would be the masters, and we tin slaves; the condition of the whit race in the British West India Is lands, as bad as it is, would be happi ness to ours; there the mother conn try is interested in sustaining tin supremacy of the European race." If Mr. Calhoun had been a pro phet, he eould not more exactly hav predicted what is nov,- taking place. And this is the party which claim the possession of the Government and thc working out of the destiuie of this great country. Alas! it will b a sad day for the Republic, if the succeed. One will almost be tempte to doubt the capability of maukin for self-government. The Philadelphia papers state tlis $100 counterfeits on the Centn National Bank of New. York were i circulation in that city on Thursday In the words "maintain it," on th right of the Goddess of Liberty, a /' is inserted for / in "maintain. The faces of the signers of the Di claration of Independence, on tl back of the note, are very indistinc SHORT COTTON CHOP.-A letter r ceived by ? (marleston factor fro: St. James', Goose Creek, dated Sej tember 20, says: "The loss by short work is grea Can't get .more than 30 or 40 pount cotton picked per day, whereas tl hands ought lo pick at least 15i I can count from 40 to 50 pods opene on the stalk, and the ground, in mai: places, covered and coming u (sprouting) from the washing rains. Secretary McCulloch says: "Tl Paymaster-General has been instruc ed to commence tho payment at om of soldiers' bounties. There will 1 no delay on the part of this Depar ment. Gen. McClellan has written a lett approving the procedings of the Pl; I adelphia National Convention. Columbia ami Augusta Railroad. Tho Augusta Constitutionalist, of Tuesday, has au article concerning the improvements contemplated in that city, and in that connection mentions the Columbia and Augusta Railroad. In its appeal to capitalists in behalf of tho road, it says that "should this important link be pushed to -i successful conclusion, Augusta would hold the air line traf? fic North, beyond peradventure. It would likewise check the efforts now assiduously in vogue to tap her other lines. "We mean no harm to other cities, but jt will never do to permit them to reap the harvest properly appertaining to us. Col. Wm. John? ston is doing yeoman's service for the railroad system of Augusta, and wo trust his zeal will be met by an equal enthusiasm on the part of capi? talists and corporations. " The Consli iutionalist adds: We submit a concise summary of what this road proposes to accom? plish : - # 1st. Tho Columbia and Augusta Railroad will not only offer to Au? gusta the trade of Richland, Fair? field, Chester and Yoi'k Districts, through which the Charlotte Road now passes, but would offer to her th* trade of Western North Carolina and the tobacco of Virginia. 2d. It will more than restore to Augusta the business she has lost from Newberry and Laurens Dis? tricts, which will take thc Columbia and Augusta Railroad at Louisville, Lexington and other depots. 3d. The branch road to Ninety-Six will only be twenty-eight or thirty miles long, to intersect this road near the Pine House. This will give ?to Augusta the trade of Abbeville, An? derson, Greenville and Pickens Dis? tricts, and will make this place their nearest ami best market. 4th. The construction of the Co? lumbia and Augusta Railroad will not only restore to Augusta the trade she lost by the Greenville Road, but will bring her double what she has lost. 5th. This road, in connection with the Milledgeviile Road, cuts all roads taking trade to Charleston and Sa? vannah, and turns it upon Augusta. Herein are cogent reasons why this important, enterprise should receive an earnest support, and its comple? tion not only made certain, but rapid. WHO AKE MEANT BY "MECHANICS AN1> LABORERS" DI THE INTERNAL REVENTE LAW?-With regard to the tax upon payments made to mecha? nics or laborers employed upon the public works, the Commissioner of Internal Revenue decides that the terms "mechanics"' and "laborers" were used by Congress in their gene? ral and popular sense; that they were not designed by Congress to include clerks, draughtsmen, ?fcc, but such persons only as are generally known as mechanics or laborers, such as car? penters, bricklayers, machinists, &c. The operation of the internal revenue law exempting such workmen from the provisions of the Act is limited to such mechanics and laborers as are employed on public work Or at public works. JAYHAWKINC-The St. Louis Dis? patch states that jayhawking is still continued in Missouri; and that rob? bery beiug the motive, the thieves not unfrequently find their own radi? cal friends in possession of tempting things, which they cannot forego applying to their own use. Tho late war of rapine and robbery of the .South taught a large number of peo? ple now living at the North habits that are now, and must continue to be, very inconvenient, to say the least, to Northern society. A GREAT RAILROAD.-1,200 new freight cars and 50 new locomotives are being added to the rolling stock of the Chicago and North-western Railway. This road, on its different branches, will soon run 130 passen? ger and baggage cars, 4,500 freight cars and 210 locomotives. It now has 1,020 miles of main track open, and within a year it will be completed to the Missouri River and connected with the Pacific Railroad. - A few days ago, Col. Mciver, ex Confederate army officer, was arrest? ed by order of Gen. Sheridan, and imprisoned. It is understood that he is at the head of a filibustering expe? dition against Mexico, although it is impossible to learn anything from military authorities.? Important pa? pers were found upon ln'm. Hon. Ben. Loan, a radical Con? gressman from Missouri, says no Southern State should be represented in Congress "until every dollar ex? pended by the country in the late war was taxed out of the Southern people." Suppose we have all the male babies killed as security for tho future.-Boston Post. Some of the radical newspapers are now calling General Grant "a military adventurer." One of them in Boston says he is "a person of limited information and common? place ideas, with some obstinate prejudices, and not a superabundance of intelligent convictions." A Virginia City, Nevada, despatch says that tho primary election which was held on thc 21st, on which de? pended the re-election of Senator Nye, resulted in favor of Charles E. DeLong. Mr. Nye, the present Sen? ator, had no ticket. Thc President und the Constitutional Amendment. ?Some days since, we copied, from the New York Herald, an article de? claring, with a flourish of trumpets, that the editorials of that veracious journal had produced such an effect upon tho President as to induce him to reconsider his opposition to the constitutional amendment, and write to the Southern Govcrners, counsel? ling them to follow his example. Of course, every! oiy knew that Bennett was drawing the long bow , and mere? ly laughed ut his unblushing assur? ance. As if to outdo himself, he now gives prominence to a contradiction of this report, and speaks as if some one else had originated the story. He says: "The statement having prevailed that the President rs about to modify his policy to the extent of recom? mending the proposed constitutional amendments to the adoption of the Southern unrepresented States, au? thority is given for a most emphatic denial. The President considers that the amendments were prepared in violation of the fifth article of the Constitution, and are. therefore, in? valid, and that it would be in contra? vention of his oath of office to en? courage them in any way. There is, however, reason to believe that he contemplates recommending to Con? gress, at its approaching session, i first, thc admission of the representa I tivos of all thc States, and then the proposal of amendments to the Con? stitution, embracing, in a less objec? tionable form, thc essential elements of those now pending." This is a more probable version of the matter. It is unquestionably true, that the amendment was not proposed to the States in the manner contem? plated by the Constitution. This lit? tle defect, however, is of no impor? tance in the eyes of the radicals. They violate the Constitution in the very act of trying to amend it for the humiliation of the South, and yet have so much confidence in our fidelity to constitutional obligations us to believe that, if they eau foist this new provision into the Constitu? tion wo shall implicitly obey its re? quirements. --Richmond Dispatch. USEFUL RECIPE.-We clip the fol? lowing from'au exchange. It is bended soft soap, and reads thus: For a lieutenant, call him captain; for a middle-aged lady, kiss her, and say that you mistook her tor her daughter; for a young gentleman rising fifteen, ask his opinion respect? ing the comparative merits of a razor; for young ladies, if you know, their color to be natural, accuse them of painting. A meeting of the Federal soldiers who claimed that they had once been prisoners of war in the South was held at Pittsburg, on Thursday night, and organized into un association by electing A. 1). Streight, of Libby memory, President. The object of the association is "to collect such in? formation as will be useful in com? piling a history of rebel prisons." Here goes for another "history." In the country West and North? west ol' Dayton, Ohio, the rats are said to be swarming, and apparently migrating Southward, au indication of a severe winter. In many places, I they ara so numerous that ?hey have J not only destroyed the corn, sweet potatoes and tomatoes, but are olimb ing fruit trees and destro3*ing the fruit. A man named Ruigsly dropped dead, as was supposed, last Sunday, at Norwalk. While being shaved in preparation for the grave, his face was cut with the razor, when the blood flowed, and he quickly arose, put ou his garments, and went on his busi? ness a live man. A terrible storm swept along the coast of Newfoundland on Saturday last, causing the loss of numerous vessels and of many lives. A French frigate was lost off St. Pierro, and over 150 dead bodies had come ashore at that point. MIXED.-An American was teach? ing English to a German, and on being asked if there were no irregular verbs iu English, replied on giving oue solitary example. It was, "I go, thou wentest, he departed, we made tracks, you cut sticks, they skedad? dled." The Raleigh Sentinel learns that Gen. Dockery, recently nominated for Governor by the "unmistakably loyal men of North Carolina," has accepted the nomination. Dockery was a great anti-reconstructionist in 18G3. CAPTUUED.-Adolph Bernard, an agent of the Memphis aud Charleston Road, who recently fled with some $10,000 belonging ta llis employers, has been arrested ana*carried back to Memphis. He was overhauled at Chicago. Chattanooga is full of small-pox cases. It has also had two fatal cases of cholera.. One of tho victims, we are told, "ate immoderately of boiled cabbage, while suffering from diar rhoea of eight days' standing." It is a remarkable fact, says the Natchez Courier, that the negroes who have engaged in plauting have confined themselves to the cultiva? tion of cotton exclusively. Bread stuffs are not thought of by them. 940 applications have been received from negroes in Georgia, Tennessee, and Virginia, by the American Colon? ization Society, for transportation to Liberia. They will depart Novem- j ber 1. LIBERTY IN MEXICO.-The great impedimeut to liberty in Mexico is that there ?rc so many aspiring men within her borders, and that anarchy has so long held sway there, thc peo? ple being divided into so many fac? tions. As fast as one Government is ! formed from which that unfortunate country may hope for peace and rest, in which to throw off the armor of I battle and to recuperate from ti e wounds inflicted in the many wars to which she is subject, another revolu? tion breaks out, and the country is at the mercy of marauders and cut? throats, who seem to have no purpose I of ever permitting any settlement of her troubles. There the leaders ?di seem to prefer "to rule iu hell, rather than Herve in heaven." Everybody wants to be| President; and between Hanta Anna, Juarez and others less notai ile but I equally violent and incapable of ag? regare! for the interests of tho coun? try, there is no hope of escupo from the unending strife which has con? verted a paradise, blooming with the fairest roses and producing the rich? est fruits, iuto a desolated wild, wherein thc marks of devastation greet the eye on every side in one unbroken landscape of ruin. Letter, far better, the foreign bayo? nets that support the Government of Maximilian should force a term of ] peace, than a continuation of the work of desecration and violence which has so much destroyed the beauty and usefulness of that, the fairest of all climes and the richest of all countries. We would herald with pleasure au announcement of fl re? cognition of the Imperial Govern? ment, and an abandonment of the Monroe doctrine, on the part of the United States. We think from that policy alone can Mexico escape the troubles that are working a sure and terrible destruction. RADICALS ABUSING GRANT.--Geary's organ, the Harrisburg Telegraph, thus attacks Gen. Grant: "We do not believe that the intel? ligent masses of the country will per? mit themselves to be led from the right by any man, however distin? guished may be his position in a civil or military sense. We must not for? get that "Ulysses S. Grant is only a man, with no larger capacity tb form an opinion on subjects such as the re-1 habilitation of the South, than two thirds of the respectable men of the nation. He has no right to hug in Iiis military reputation to sway the judgment of the people in deciding! a civil issue. If Gen. Grant, or any other soldier, attempts such a move? ment, it is the beginning of tho end of his military glory. That moment such soldiers would cease to be great men, terminating what would other? wise have been an immortality of glory on the historic pages of the country's history. Tf this would not be the case, the destiny of the coun? try must be put entirely in the hands' of irresponsible military adventur? ers.'.' .'550 immigrants arrived at Rolla on Friday, to find homes in Southwest? ern Missouri. They are all adult Swedes and Danes, and persons of thrift and intelligence. There are only eight women in the party. They pre the first instalments of a party of 2,000, a large proportion of whom are already in New York. This di? rection of the tide of immigration is due to the efforts of the Southwest Pacific Railroad Company, who sell them tracts of their puiiMc lands at S?5 au acre. Two commissioners of the Danish Government arc with the immigrants, to soe that good faith is observed toward them. . THE POLITICAL CONTEST TN PENN? SYLVANIA.-On the 0th of October the election takes place in Pennsyl? vania for Governor, Congressmen, Legislature, Sec. The two parties are conducting the canvass with great energy, and mass me?tings are daily and nightly held in various sections of the State. The conservatives and the rads both affect to be confident of victory; but we fear the best chance is on the side of the rads. HATL STORM.-Westminster, Mary? land, was visited with another remark? able hail storm on Friday afternoon of last week. Large quantities fell, much /if about the size of hickory nuts, often larger, round and solid like pebbles. It was severest at the lower end of the town, where not less than 2,000 panes of glass were broken in windows which happened to be exposed to the North and West. [ Westminder Democrat. HIGH PRICED TOBACCO.-On last Wednesday Messrs. A. Y. Stokes Sc Co., of Richmond, sold ono box of leaf tobacco at $116 per hundred. This tobacco was raised by A. Slade, of Caswell County, N. C. Jones & Hewitt sold eighty-one boxes of ma? nufactured tobacco, "Persimmon" brand, which netted about ?6,000. [Richmond Whig. Saturday's New York Herald says: "The steamship Saragossa, of the Leary line, sails for Charleston, from foot of Wall street, at 3 p. ra. to-day. Arrangements have been made be? tween the above and the People "s Line to increase the facilities for shipment of mechandize South, and a steamer for Charleston will be despatched every other day." Thomas O'Flanegan, a printer who worked for the rebels of 1798 and for those of 1848, died in Dublin, re? cently, at the age of ninety. Charge or His Honor Judge Aldrich to thc Grand Jury. GlCNTLKMEN Ol' THE G?AND 3VKXl While I wo uro gradually approaching civil rule, ! which is a subject of cun^ratulation. the slims of the times betoken a dark future. Military supervision has been greatly re? laxed, and tho civil magistrate eau awaiti exercise, generally, his appointed duties, without interruption, lt is only occasion? ally that some ignorant or inso?ent subor? dinate ventures to interfere; such igno ranco is usually promptly redre ssed, and tho insolence severely rebuked by tho intel? ligent and well-bred general officer com? manding the department in the District ; but when we look North and sec how surely the destructive radical power, which now" con? trols the country, is gathering strength, it shadows ?nether era of sorrow and ol blood. To us, who have suffered so much, whoso wounds aro still bleeding, aud whose for? tunes are so broken, this is a sad contem? plation-. We have ho heart and no wish to en? gage in another contest. With a decimated country and exhausted means, we have no power to maintain our constitutional rights or to re-assert the grand principles upon which this great Government Was founded, and for which wo so ardently and so hope? lessly contended. Gloomy, indeed, is tho j future, and sad. indee.1., is our fate. When I say wir, 1 mean the whole country, for ! sec no escape from anarchy, tyranny- am! misrule, but a return to thosofundamental principles upon which tho Government was founded, and which are announced in the Constitution. But this is not the timoor the place to speculate on thc political fu? ture. - We are greatly embarrassed in tho ma? nagement of our domestic affairs, by the presence and interference of the Freed? men's bureau. I believe, if the difficult and. delioate problem of organizing tho labor of our former slaves was left entirely to us, who once owned the freedmen, un? derstand their character an A feel for their condition, things would be so managed as to enable us, very soon, to regain their con? fidence and to infuse into their mind? a feeling of securitv and protection, which will be mutually beneficial. But, us mat? ters now stand, distrust is engendered, the freedmen are taught to bo suspicious of their old masters-to believe that their in? terests are antagonist--and encouraged to distrust their counsel, advice ami aid; all which Would soon cease, if this interested and prejudiced Bureau was removed. It is a great, useless, expensive and mis? chievous machinery, which seems to be kept up simply to grind taxes ont of tho people for the support of cunning politi? cians, excited fanatics and political preach? ers. Our poor black people, '"wards ol'tho nation," as they are called, whose host friends are the men who reared and owned them, would receive little sympathy from 'ir new-found friends as do the poor ?.viiitc people of'the North, were it not for thc millions of money which tho Congress has placed at the disposal of the Bureau. AU that we cart do, under present circum ? stances, is to treat them justly and kindly, encourage them to work, and assist them in every way to better their condition and improve their education. The State has placed them as fully under thc protection of the law as tho white residents, and it is not only our duty, but our interest, to seo that they receive this protection, and are not imposed upon. Here and there, 1 have no doubt, there are instances ifhere a feel? ing of domineering is manifested against the negro; but these instances are rare, and, I will venture to say, it will be found, on exam- ation, that too men who thus outrage public sentiment are those who never owned slaves and were always known as bullies and rowdies. Such violations ol the law ure.not to be encouraged. The ne? gro, now, as he was under thc old svstem, is protected by the laws, and it Is our policy, as well as our duty, to soe that this protection is secured to hun. We must Jet him know and feel that we aro his best friends, that we will sustain him when bc is right, and thus encourage him tobceonn a useful member of society. In no other waj can we make him a profitable laborer; in nc other way can we induce him to assist in de? veloping the resources of the country, lt it true, he follows, now, his old instincts, am there are frequent cases of theft, whicl must be punished, until ho learns the du? ties and feels tho dignity of freedom. Ii time, he will discover that he must sust-ii trie institutions of society, as well as tin white man, and that it is l:is interest t, do so; but, whenever ho does commit crime let the punishment be administered in dm course of law, by the proper authorities and he will soon begin to teel his responsi bilitios and fear the disgrace and punish merit which follows a violation of tho law: of the land. If a different course be pur sued, and the aggrieved parties take tin punishment into their own hands, it wil excite a feeling of resentment and hos tility, which will bring on collision, am may end in bloodshed. Tho respectable colored people-thosi who have always maintained good charac tors and secured the esteem and coiifideue of the whites-should stand up for the im provomcnt and respectability of their race and bring all violators of the law to justice This is a high duty which they owo t themselves and to the country, because : they wink at crime and screen offenders tho disgrace! attaches to thc whole ract and all suffer aliko in character and rcpt: tation. They must do as the white peopl do-when the laws are violated, turn th offenders over to tho magistrate, let wat rants bo issued, witnesses bound over, an the case brought to trial. In this wai and in no other way, can society be prc tected, and the character and dignity ( tho raco promoted. I think the black pee plo, who are trying to do their duty t themselves and to their country, will tali this counsel. It is tho counsel of wisdoi and tho advice of a friend. Aa pauperism is not to bc encouraged, s ought vagrancy to be punished. The law; if properly en forced, are amply sufficiei to put down this evil. Let every persoi white or black, who is lound living on th community, without known or viaibl means of support, be brought up for ex; inination, ami if ho cannot give a satisfai tory account of how he makes a living, h tho laws against vagrancy be rigidly forced, and the vagrant put to work for t: public good. In this way, tho lughwaj and public buildings of tho State may h much improved, and the crowds of id] consumers, both in thc cities and in th country, greatly diminished. The Jury was instructed to examin carefully and rigidly the accounts of til several Boards of Commissioners, til officers of the District, and to bring to tl notice of the Court any oppression in o fice, or negligence in the discharge of dut; Accounts have been received ii Paris of tho martyrdom of nin French Catholic missionaries in th Corea in Asia.
