????niininii. ?rt i inirift*??-ia-i?>-n>ir?i'4>mi COLUMBI^. Friday Morning, October 12, 18fa'6. Two Mistaken. The New York Evening Post, a mo? derate Republican journal, and one which appears to bc sincere in its do sire to have the Southern States re? admitted to Congress, in a recent ar? ticle under the caption of "Another Word to the South." takes occasion to compliment South Carolina, in that, by a single act, she has made ali the children ol' her soil, whatever j their color, equal before the laws. But the /'os/, we think, takes an erroneous view of this matter, in its motives and its presumed sequences. Since the State adopted the constitu? tional amendment abolishing slavery, it was the desire ot' all classes ol' our citizens that tho freedmen .should be made equal before the law w;Lh all other citizens, ami immediately after the ratification of that amendment, a ernie was prepared by some of our ablest jurists, which sought to accom? plish that end. The freedmen were to have^trial before a court and jury, their testimony vas competent, and all legal rights ?vere accorded. But as thc court provided for this pur? pose seemed to indicate that it was purely a court instituted for thc pur- i pose of trying cases where the colored people were exclusively interested, it was regarded as a class code, and, therefore, objected to. The recent declaratory Act. therefore, was simply j intended to perfect and make plain j what was intended, and that which j the people desired-that the freedman . should be equal to the white man be- ! fore thc law in the protection of lite, person and property. It was simply carrying out tin1 natural result of emancipation, and not an enactment tor the purpose of conciliating radi? calism. This is the rirst mistake of the /'<>s/, and its second error naturally follows its first. \Ye do not think, with the Pos/, that this is ''the wedge put into tho mountain, which, by its own vast weight, will, in thc end, cleave its way to the bottom." by which illustration the Post means that the adoption of the constitu? tional amendment now before the country will be adopted by South Carolina and the other States of thc South. But giving the negr. civil rights-a legitimate sequence of his new condition-is an entirely differ? ent matter from giving him political rights equal with the white citizen. The-former has just emerged from a condition which precluded him from participating in or acquiring any knowledge of political matters: hence, he is not prepared to exm-eise the elective franchise, or to assume any of tho duties and responsibilities con? nected with its exercise. Moreover, this subject has very properly been always left to the States respectively to act upon, and tho State alone was deemed competent to define the quali? fications of her voters. There can be no question that each State, as the | freedmen may manifest proper pro? ficiency, will, in time, extend the franchise to them; but there is not an intelligent man, among themselves even, who does not know that they are not, as a class, prepared, at this time, for its exercise. ?hit the /' -si seems to overlook the l'art that, while indirectly providing for negro suffrage, this amendment seeks to inflict further humiliation upon the people of the South. It seeks to compel them to degrada themselves-one of the deepest depths of disgrace. The radicals call us rebels and traitors -this they are wel? come to do, if they sec fit, or if it does them any g >od; but that docs not satisfy them; they want us, by the most solemn act of legislation known under the Constitution and Govern? ment-the amendment of the Consti? tution itself-to brand ourselves with these opprobions epithets, and dis? franchise, until their pleasure, our best and truest citizens. They seek to kill two birds with one stone-en? franchise the negro and r/Vsfranchise the white citizen. Negro suffrage, bad as its enforcement would lie, is a minor evil to that of cruelly divest? ing our bravest and best of their po? litical rights, at the bidding of Thad. Stevens and his cut-throat followers. The Post and other moderate Repub? lican journals should understand that this is the section of tho proposed amendmendment that is the most odious of its provision^. But we notice in our sister State of UMiiBHiinmuMiin iiri'iT-iiTi*rJr r TV ----^ j--.... ., j North Carolina-and it is tho chief j j argument of the Northern press- j I that soon; of her timid politicians ure i j urging the adoption ol' the amend- j ! ment, or elsi- we must stay out of the : i Uuiou. Well, one would think tuat | j sueh an argument would have little | i weight with a people who fought four years to get ont of that Union, lint besides this, let us ask these ad? mirers of humiliation, is there any guarantee, if the Southern Slalesshouhl adopt th'' amendment, Hint they will lie admitted? Not the slightest. On the contrary, we have recently published extracts from leading radical organs and orators that something mon' than the adoption of the amendment will be required to gain admission. So that argument is futile. ! but another argument is that the Southern States will at last have to \ ratify thc amendment, and we might as well do so at once. "We cannot sec the compulsion on the Southern States to Jo any such thing. If the amendment received the approval of the required number of States, it be? comes a part of the Constitution without our aid. But, as the matter now stands, if all tia; Southern States refuse to adopt it, it cannot be carried until we have forty States, and we will be saved the disgrace of voluntarily humiliating ourselves still further. Thc South is anxious for represen? tation in Congress-she is desirous of joining the true conservative nu n of all parties in the North in defeating the radical destructives, and throwing overboard their odious measures of high tariffs and taxations-she is de? sirous ol' a speedy restoration of peace and unity between thc sec? tions-but the price asked by the radicals is too high; for if we have read the character of her people, they will not yield to such further conces? sions as are now demanded ?d' them. .Mot Ji L>cga.l Tender. In the Court of Common Pleas for York UUlrict, -Judge Aldrich presid? ing, an important case was tried, as we learn from thc Enquirer, of Thurs? day. Jt was briefly this: The She? rill", in a certain case, refused to accept United States legal tender notes in discharge of an execution against tin; defendants, and a rule was issued against him. The ease was ably argued by coun? sel on each side, and Judge Aldrich decided, unhesitatingly, that the United States Treasury notes pur? porting to be a legal tender are nut a legal tendei'for debts of any descrip? tion, 'irising upon contracts made either prcrious to or si iee the pmssage of the {currency Ad hg (''ingress. Ile con? ceived that the Constitution of the United States, as well as the laws of this State, forbade any such conclu? sion. This is an important decision to thc people of this State, and as no? tice of appeal has been given, thc action of the higher court will be looked forward io with interest. DEAR BOOKS, NEWSPAPERS, Sec.- - The fact that books, newspapers a.ul all other printed matter arc a little dearer than formerly, may be ac? counted for in part by the reason contained in the following brief para? graph, from the Springfield Iiepubli c'an: "The Crew Paper Company, of South Hadley Vails, have declared a yearly dividend of IOU per cent., be? sides reserving a fund sufficient to build an addition to their mill. Last year, the dividend was 120 percent." Surely some capitalists at thc South might i e found, who would be con? tent with a U ss return for their in? vestment than to double it every year. The Southern States have water power and all other facilities for the erection of paper mills, and why do they not? There's the rub. Nothing wili bring down these, enor? mous dividends, or the price of pa? lier, but competition i:i the business. PENNSYLVANIA'S NEW GOVERNOR. General John YY. Geary, the Go? vernor elect of Pennsylvania, was once Governor of Kansas and of Cali? fornia, and also Military Governor ol Savannah after the fall of that city. He ran upon the radical platform, and is said to favor the. doctrine ol negro suffrage. 'I'm-: NATIONAL EXPRESS RE-ORGAN [ZED.-A special despatch to Thurs? day's Augusta Chronicle and Sent ind says that $600,000 of eight per cent, preferred stock in this Company ist? be issued under an entirely new or? ganization, which will save the enter ? prise and secure its success. ???tili I?*-?BwgMBMiggjgtgggagig > ?gs"?}**"? sySSSSB Tile I?OU?H Kn ir. St. Louis is emulating Baltimore in its efforts to contribute to thc relief of tlic suffering people of thc stricken South. Thc -great fair for this pur? pose was opened in that city on last Wednesday night, and would conti? nue for several days. The attendance for the past two days was immense, the number of tho visitors, on the see>md dav. being estimated at from 75,000 to 100,000. We subjoin be? low au extract from an article in tho St. Bonis Republican: Nothing in the history of Sf. Louis can compare with the grand and sig? nal triumph of this great, enterprise, it commenced in weakness, with a thousand bad prejudices to battle against. Although its objects were the highest and holiest known in the languageof earth-thc succor of help? less widows and orphans, made such i by the events of a terrible war-yet mair," shrank from its liberal and open espousal, while another at? tempted to cast odium upon the whole project, because thc effort was in favor of a people that were lately iu arms against the Govern nient. Thc latter, however, compose a lean and mean minority of a great-hearted people, and the magnificent popular demon? stration of last night is a terrible re? buke to the whole race of political and social 1 'harisoes. The whole community seemed in? tent upon being present at tin; inau? gural ion of tin: great festival. The passers on every avenue leading to tic loeality of the fair, all seemed going in ono direei ion, aiKi for hom's the anxious multitude clustered in the front and upon the steps of the lair building, and struggled for ad? mission within its portals. Many la? dies, with their escorts, br?ame dis? couraged at the continued pressure, ami, although provided with tickets, : abandoned their purpose ot' entering I for the time, and retired from the crowd. We cannot estimate numbers, but feel sure thai two buildings like the immense one occupied by the fair could have been well filled, if l the entrance to each had been easily; accessible. The moral influence of this fair is its grandest feature. For above its inert' charity-the succor it can bring to thc helpless and home? less-will be its re-uuitiug power upon the whole mass of the people I who may contribute towards its sue- \ cess. Betterand more powerful than I a thousand sermons upon Christian charity will be the practical lessons of love and forbearance drawn from this noble enterprise. Families that ! have been separated for years by poli? tical fends have already struck hands ? in peace over this altar dedicated to God and humanity, it will prove to I be the scene and occasion of a gio rious re-union of thousands of hearts < that have bern estranged or cmbit tered by the painful events of the last : five years. The lirst effect upon thc spectator, j on entering the fair editier, at night, ? is a kind of bewildering splendor, that absorbs his faculties in wonder and leaves liini but little chance of analyzing the details of the beauty and glare that beams fro in every side, j Before he enters, he thinks of no thing but an immense pile of brick ! and mortar constructed fi ir some com- ? mcrcial purpose. . (Ince within thc doors, and a thousand brilliant lights Hash upon ten thousand objects of beauty. He i-; lost and bewildered with the scenes of enchantment, that remind him only of fabled palaces, inhabited by nymphs and fairies. Hours upon hours may be spent in analyzing and classifying thc details of this wonderful consummation of art and skill, and still the observer will conni away with the conviction that half its wonders have not been seen. The fair is held in the building of the St. Louis Warehouse Company, situated on Chateau avenue, bounded East by Fifth street, South by Cha? teau avenue. West by Sixth street, and North by Papin street. The building occupies the whole block, and is UGO feet long by 140 wide, two stories high, and is constructed of solid masonry, with a centre wall through the middle, running the. en? tire length, in which there are three large arches. In the second story of the immense building the fair is held. Ex-Congressman (Judge) Oldham, of Texas, is in Cordova, -Mexico, taking photographs for a living. Ile is also writing a history of the war. Ex-Confederate General Shelly iv running' a wagon train from Faso del Marlin lo thc city of Mexico. The undertaking, it. is said, adonis him a good living. General Hindman is in Cordova practicing law; but as no ono regards tho law in that region he 1 is not overrun with clients. Ex-Go- ! vernor Harris and General Price are ? also living in Cordova, and Br. J. A Robinson, of Alabama, keeps the only hotel in thc place-thc "Bixie Hotel." The radicals of Buchanan Count v. I Missouri, in the vicinity of Mount Moriah Church, threatened that, on Sunday, a week ago, they would take Rev. Wm. Bush out of the pulpit and cowhide him. They were on hand at the time, armed to carry out their threat. But the story had got abroad, and tho radicals found about twenty young men quietly sitting in front of thc pew, each with a naval revolver strapped to his person. Order reigned in Moy.nt Moriah that day. FROM Sortw CARofJQ?A.-Tin spe? eial Washington correspondent of the Her,?lil telegraphs to its Monday's issue the following concerning affairs in this State: "Lieut. E. P. Docherty, of booth capture notoriety, has just returned from a four months' residence in South Carolina, and gives a rather discouraging account <>f the crops and thc general condition of the country. The corn crop in that State is almost a failure. Many plantations will not yield over two bushels to the acre, and very few more, than five. The cotton crop was moderately good, which is all that the people have lo rely upon. "Lieut. Docherty was for several months Provost Judge for Sumter. Clarendon and Kershaw Districts, in addition to discharging the duties of a. Post Commandant, and is, there? fore, familiar with thc workings of thc Freedmen's Bureau. He pro? nounces the contract system a fail? ure, ami i.; decidedly of opinion that the labor question would soon adjust itself to the advantage of all concern? ed if left to itself. The abolition of provost or military courts he consi? ders would also contribute to peace and harmony, and better subserve the ends of justice." THE RESULT.-The Richmond Ex <imbin); of _ Wednesday, speaks of sitting np t<> a late hour for unsatis? factory telegrams concerning the elec? tions, and thus comments on the result in Pennsylvania: '.Some wiseacres will argue from this result that Southern representa? tion should bc eat down one-third, and that men like Lee, Forrest and Hamilton disfranchised. The con? clusion wo draw is, that we should, go on qSiietly about our daily pur? suits, each doing his duty in his :q> poiutcd sphere, working hurd and yielding nothing whatever to clamor or panie.'" A very sensible conclusion. It is very sure that South Carolina would never consent to the disfranchise? ment of thc citizen above named, and, if the radicals should prove tri? umphant, let us calmly await the consequences. Mn. DAVIS' CASK.-A special de? spatch to Tuesday's Baltimore Sun says : There is good reason to say that-, in a few days, the Jeff. Davis matter will bo settled, so far as the responsibility of the Administration for the trial of the prisoner is concerned. T?tere is no doubt that some such action will be taken by the President as indi? cad (1 in my despatch of last week. Chief Justice (.'base, Judge Under? wood, the United States District At? torney for Virginia, and tho United States Marshal, will be seveially no? tified formally that Davis is held sub? ject to thc writ of the United States : Circuit Court, to answer the indict-j ment found in that court. These I officers of the law will be requested to lake immediate custody of the pri? soner, ami relieve the Administration of further responsibility. Upon a showing, to be made in a few days, it will be found that thc responsibility for the trial, or delay in bringing it about, is with Judges Chase and Un? derwood. RADICAL HUMANTTY.-The Philadel- ! phia Evening Herald says, that on the 2d inst., the managers of the Soldiers' Home, on Sixteenth and Filbert streets, cailed up about twenty of the inmates of t he Home, who were help? lessly crippled, or suffering from wounds received in the service, and asked them for their political views. They answered that they were Demo? crats, whereupon, disabled, destitute and homeless as they were, they were turned into the street. The editor of the Iii raid says that they could be seen at Penn Square, living witnesses of radical sympathy for the soldiers. Titi: NEWFOUNDLAND TELEGRAPH LINE. -Not many persons understand that the lines in Newfoundland pass through a forest, and, in one ease, a continuons distance of 2~>0 miles. Stations are established every fifty miles, and. in casi: of a freshet, it becomes necessary, in making repairs, to make a detour of fifty miles into thc interior to get across the swollen streams. The public are unable to understand why breaks are not sooner repaired, but one who lias tried a journey, snell as thc Newfoundland woods oiler, eau readily comprehend the delay. -? EMIGRANTS.-The editor of the Chattanooga Union noticed, passing along the streets, recently, a train of ten wagons, filled with women and children and household plunder, with the heads of various households and the men of the families urging on the patient oxen attached to each wagon. On inquiry, lie learned that they were from the neighborhood of Washington County, Tenn., and en route for Missouri and Texas. They informed him that they were only a portion of a large number of families residing in Washington County, who intended emigrating this fall. Thc latest fashion in dress skirts is to have them so short that looping is unnecessary. The effect, however, is not that of short dresses, for the petticoats are worn long and aro or? namented to correspond with the dress. Kin- in ?w York. The New York papers, of Monday, bring us an account nf a disastrous tire. The Times saya: A destructive fire occurred in the marble building. No. ."ou Broadway, on Saturday night. The building was occupied hy C. (1. Gunther A Sons, furriers, and John Vogt A Co., dealers in china and glass. Their aggregate loss will probably amount to $350,000. Sparks from the" burning building were carried t-> tho roof of the Catholic Cathedral, in Mott -'root, atol in a fe V hours afterwards thc . diftoc was re? duced to ashes. The loss <.;! tl c church ami its interior adornments is estimated at S150,0!'0, on which there is an insurance >>!' $75,000. With regard to the burning of the ( athe dral and the progresa ot thc flames, wc have the following account: The llames ran along the roof, encircling it w ith a halo ?if light, and thence descend? ed to the lower part of the building. The interior of thc church was in a mass of roaring llame; the beautiful stained glass windows shone with unnatural brilliancy, as if some great festival wa- being hold within; altar, organ pipe-:, paintings, ami all t he pomp and splendor ot the ! a tied ra! of the American metropolis, were light d up with an illuminati'.!: such as never be? fore was dreamed nf there. Tho cross on wall fronting Mulberrv street seemed iike ! the cross that beckoned Consta:;! in.- on t.. i victory, or that of St. Peter's duri':;: the I Holy Week. The flames played around it, beneath it, and above it. wreathing it with a fiery halo, and revealing distinctly every ' linc and carving on it. Tho wooden towers on Mott street soon j fell in. The flames caught new life from I their wreck, and leaped higher than ever. A few individuals connected with the j church climbed upa narrow stanway in thc belfry, which allowed tho ascent ofCnt one I at a time on the roof, and at tho risk of I their lives attempted to extinguish the incipient conflagration with buckets of water. Their offortfl wore nf no avail. J Halfan hour afterwards, a portion ?d'tho lire department arrived upon thc scene, but the roof was then a mass of flame, and it was apparent tiiat thc destruction of the old C.-itln dral of the 1'roVince of New York was inevitable. (treat efforts were made hy the clergy, teachers and officers of thc church, aided by the parishioners, to save the sacred vessels and vestments. These were of considerable vallie, being worth not ?.-ss than $20,000. One sel id" vestments saved Lwere br. Hight from Paris lythe andi bishop, rand were worth about "$3,000. To tho Catholics of thia city, this old. church is I endeared by many sacred memories, not the least of which is the circumstance of its containing the remains of the late la I m en ted Archbishop Hughes, besides this, i it contains the remaille! of the bight Kev. j Di s. Concancn, Colinby and Bubois. Great ! efforts were made by tie departi?, nt to preserve the tombs of thcs< il?parted pre? lates, and it appears that their efforts proved successful. Many tine frescoes, I works of American and foreign artists. I w ere necessarily destroyed, and a very line j painting of the Crucifixion, by an Ameri I can artist. The pulpit is saul to have been I one of tho finest in America, anti the ; sacristy, it is said, would hold more cler? gymen than that of any church in thc j United Statis, fha church itself, it is estimated, would seat about 3,000 people. St. Patrick's Cathedral*was built in the I year mil, by Bishop Dubois, being thc second church erected in this city. Arch? bishop Hughes made considerable addi? tions to ic lil ts:;s. lt was om- of the old 1 .nd-uiarks of New York, and endeared by many recollections. Besides containing thc remains ot three bishops and ono archbishop, in n. has been witnessed the consecration of many others. There were very many splendid frescoes and paintings by American and foreign artist -, the archi? episcopal throne, valued at$500, and other invaluable works completely destroyed. Fortunately, the archives of tho church, not being kept in it, were thus saved. Kron? si Connecticut ulan. The New Haven liegistcr publishes a letter from a former resident of that city, now doing business in Charleston. The writer says: We have passed through a dull and warm summer, and leached the season for gathering crops. Asa general thing, they will be very -hort in somv places almost a total failure. A .-mall portion, compared with former years, was planted. Tin-dry weather and tin- want of proper Culture has been disastrous io that which was planted- so that the expectations from tho productions of the soil is disap? pointed. The corn crop is lamentably short for the wants of the people; the cot? ton crop will be far less than last year, when our armies surrendered- and ?he production of rice will probably bc about one-fourth of what was produced in form? ier years. The high prices which rico ami cotton will probably to ing, will help .-onie: but when thc wants mf the people are con? sidered, tho prospect Iv for.- ns is very gloomy. Last year, at this thu., w.- were weighed down with the embarrassed con? dition ol'thing-: but then wo had the hope that our President would be sustained in bis policy, and that before another year would roll around, we should bo restored to sonic, at least, ol' the privileges of a State Government. Fr un present appear? ance, wc are not now permitted that hope -il may be for years toc?me. We believe the President is friendly, anti that tkore aro many at tho North who would forget the past" and restore thc- States to their old condition in tho Union; who would afford any facility, in reason, to repair our da? mages, anti give us a chance to organize labor, so as to produce enough for our necessities-and to all such we give all honor and praise. 'thc madness that seems to stallt unchecked over tin' land, if permitted to prevail, will wipe out any hope of the future, and h ave us at the mercy of a barbarism that would satisfy oven the hopes of a Brownlow. If the radical party aro to bc endorsed by tho people, what is to become of our country? How will its finances be sus? tained? Where will be tin- conservative men over the w hole c.HUItry? And what, will liberty bo worth? Suv that we sinned! Say, if you jilease, wc have greatly sinned! ls there to Oe no such thing as forgive? ness? Is tho nineteenth century to bc characterized by such a policy? And in a century boasting of more freedom, a higher civilization, more religion, and more of everything that goes to improve and elevate tho condition of mankind, than any people on earth! Can it bc that an all-wise Providence, whose watchful eye is on all events, will not suv, "Thus far, and no farther?" This is our hope, and only hopo, for my country-ii it is no presump? tion to call it "my country." 1 have sworn allegiance to it, and 1 mean to obey its laws- -and shall cia. n Us protection, as long as this claim will bc of any usc. General Ben. Butler addressed ?in immense radical meeting at Mozart Hall, Cincinnati, on Hie night of the tith instant. He read a regularly drawn up form of impeachment against President Johnson, and advo? cated it in his usual style. This pro? position was received with applause. 1!I.\NKS Fou SAI.I: AT rms OFFICE.

Our Augusta neighbors ?ire wakingupto the importance tween that city and Columbia. Wo have already published several extracts ?toni tho Augusta papers relative to the matter, ami it is highly probable that the city of Augusta will issue bonds for thc estimated deficiency now wanting for thc completion, ($130,000, ) and purchase thc stock of the Company for that amount. In this event, it is stated that the President of the road is confident '.bat he can completo tho work by the middle of spring. We appreciate the advantages expected from this m w connection, both as a tho? roughfare of travel and a tout.- of trans? portation for freight, but we have to ex? press our regret that the terminus of tue 1 road was not located in the eily, instead of a mile or two below it. Like all our for? mer connections of this sort, Columbia is given the go-by as a stopping place, and, instead of passengers reid produce (ex cept merely these destined for this point) being wheeled into this ( itv. they will be wheeled pas!, it, as rapidly as locomotives can perform thc work. Thc connection be? tween the Charlotte depot and the junction on tie- South Carolina should in ver have been permitted, the track connecting them being lai'l within the corporate limits, and now used twice a day to whirl passengers straight through, without giving them a chalice, as in former days, to see .mr beau? tiful city, audprevi utingthem, at present, to look at our ruins. The truth is, thy dep.,I of tin- Columbia and Hamburg Ita il road ought to have been located within the limits of the city, and, if ni ees-ary. our merchants and others ought to have raised a sum sufficient to have purchased c. lot for that purpose. Pondi practical, tangible and immediate pecuniary benefits to the people of Colum? bia, the ti rminus of the road might as well have been located at Gadsden or Branch? ville, as thc point win re it is now proposed to un;!.- it with the Charlotte and tho South ? andina Railroads, without the city should undertake to enlarge her borders to that pi int, which is hardly probable. Is it too late to reconsider this matter of location" We think it likely that il' a suit? able lot could h.- purchased tor a general de ?io! for the four roads that will concentrate here when thc Augusta Road is finished, it would be of vast importance to the inter? ests nf the city. As contemplated for tim new roa:!, and as has been with our former railroads, tiny will L ave Columbia iso? lated - almost ignoring lier existence--and carrying past her storehouses and hotels both freight and passengers.
