COLUMBIA. Wednesday Morning, Oct. 24, 1866. Misrepresent a. 1 ?on. It is very difficult to koop poor with the tergiversations of the editor of the New York Ti?i<:<. At ono time thc professed leader of the conserva? tive party of thc North and the mouth-piece of the Philadelphia Convention-this alter his radie:!! votes in Congress-ho uow returns tu his original herd, and with the Herald and Beecher, linds his most genial associates in such characters as Butler, Stunner, Phillips & Co. But this is not the worst feature in this political weather-cock of an editor. He blows hot and cold almost in thc saino breath, vide au item from the New York World in another column. But this is not all, he tra? duces and misrepresents the best citizens of thc South. We take thc subjoined from the Times, of Satur day. After stating that tut effort will be made to array the Southern peo? ple against the nmendme.it, with whom he well knows no snell effort is required, he goes on to say: "Wc shall regret it most profound? ly, if these efforts should prove suc? cessful. Nothing, in our judgment, could be more disastrous to the whole country, and especially to the South? ern States, than such a result. They are sacrificing their substantial inter? ests to a false idea of their own dig? nity and honor. They arc repeating the very mistake which dragged them into thc rebellion and overwhelmed them with ruin. Wade Hampton is the very last man whose advice they can afford to follow, for he is a type of the very class whoso advice be? trayed them to their ruin. Thc Southern people were made to be? lieve, by him and others like him, that their honor was at stake, that they were insulted by the National Government, and that self-respect forbade their submission. They had no injury to complain of; they could point to no tangible and positive wrong they had suffered; but theil honor would not permit them to sub mit longer to tho control of tho Na? tional Government. And under this false and fatal advice they plunged into rebellion, with the results thei have now so much reason to de plore." Tho whole paragraph is ono of mis representation. Is it "a false idea o dignity and honor" to refuse, at tb bidding of the crazy and malignan inveterates-Thad. Stevens and hi motley crew of followers-to cap th climax of self-degradation by disfran chising nine-tenths of the best lue: of South Carolina? And it must b remembered that, notwithstanding the apparently saving clause'that tIii disability may be removed by a twe thirds voto in Congress, if adopted the amendment becomes part an parcel of the Constitution. The editor of the limes knows, i he knows anything at all about th matter, that it was not tho advice c Wado Hampton and others like bin that caused South Carolina to tak( the first step in thc secession move ment. Gen. Hampton, if we are no mistaken, was attached to the Unior but his native State having taken he position, with that high-toned devi lion, honor and fidelity which hav ever been his prominent character^ tics, he was among the first of herd< fenders, and the defenders of the cans of the South. As to the Southern pee plo having no injuries to complai of, ?fcc, it is mere political clap-tra] dug up, after all is past and gone, fe party purposes, as the astute polit ciau who uses it knows very weil. In another issue of the Times, tl editor says that the extremists cantu claim a victory in the recent electio in Pennsylvania, or. the approacl ing election in New York; yet it say "We submit, therefore, that tl: South should discard mere threat and address itself to tho realities ? the hour. And of theso realities, tl amendment is tho principal, not lei because it expresses tho conditioi upon which alone.tho North will coi sent to the re-admission of tl Southern States, than because it re] resents the views of thc controllii majority in Congress." What is this but tho ultimatum i the radicals-"extremists," as 1 calls them? The Southern poop do not care by what political nome clature the party may lie called wi offers the chalice of self-degradation bc they radicals, moderate Republ cans or what not; thc dose is all tl same, and they reject it with seor But thc editor has sense enough perceive that oven if the Southe: States should adopt the constitution amendment, they have no guarani they would be re-admitted to Co gress. He gets out of this quanda in the following lame way: "lt world have been moro satisfao tory, we acknowledge, had Congress ; definitely affirmed its readiness to j admit th?- States on theil- ratification of thc amendment. We think that the omission was an turor, if not a wron;;-. That it docs not imply an j adverse purpose is. however, as clear ? as anything eau be, which depends I upon inferential and presumptive evidence. " Oil, wily politician! To trust, to radical faith on stich a slender basis as this-such an easy loop-hole for those who never kept faith to creep out of. "A burnt child dreads lire.'" THE NATIONAL EXTUKSS COMPANY. The Richmond Z'pTtessays it has been determined to reduce tho capital stock of thecompany from $4,000,000 to $1,000,000, thereby reducing the par value of each share from ."Slot) to $25. It is believed that all the stock? holders will be willing to pay up to this extent. If such should be the case, the amount thus paid in will pay till the out-standing debts of the company," and enable it to proceed uninterruptedly. It was further de? termined by the stockholders' meet? ing to issue $600,000 of now stock, on which the company guarantees a dividend of eight per cent. Thc company are sanguine of eventual success. Thc Richmond Dispatch states that arrangements arc in pro? gress for connecting with the Mer? chants' Union Express Company, who will conduct the business North. East and West: the National will carry on tho Southern routes. COURT.-The Court of Sessions for Pickens District convened at this place, on Monday last-his Honor Judge Monro, presiding. His Honor despatches business in a quiet, plea? sant manner, and much to the satis? faction of those present generally. Monday and Tuesday were occu? pied by unimportant matters, save that of a, Nile against thc Clerk for not docketing the civil cases, fol. Norton insist :d that the rule should lie made absolute, and that the. re? cent law of the Legislature on this subject wax unconstitutional, (len. Haskell spoke to the same point. Hon. McGowati defended the action of the Clerk. Judge Munro discharged the rule. The ease will go to the Court, of Errors.-'Pickens Courier. - ? - A special Washington despatch to the Boston Journal states that treaties with the imperial Government of Mexico have been agreed upon, and are>now under procelss of exchange. The French troops and Maximilian withdraw this year from Mexico. The United States assumes tin; pro? tectorate of the . republic, guarantee? ing the 1'renell claims. In considera? tion, Mexico ?redes to the United States the peninsula of Lower Cali? fornia, ami other territory South of our present South-west boundary. HOMICIDE.-On Saturday night, at a negro ball in Aiken, a difiidllty occurred between the dancers, and .several jumped on one and beat him severely. He succeeded in extricat? ing himself, and drawing his kuife, killed ono of Iiis assailants outright, and injured the other so soverel . that he died on Sunday. HORRIBLE ACCIDENT.-A woman named Brown, while under the influ? ence of liquor, went to sleep tm tin track near Aiken, last week, and was run over by a passing train, which completely severed her head from liei bod}-. The Bombay overland mail brings advices to September 8. The famine in Orissa was fearful. Tho Board ol Revenue has ceased to publish th? number of reported deaths.

Oct 17 Wade Hampton's Speech. l uis gentleman hus made just ex? actly such a speech as might be ex? pected from him. ile believed South C 'ar. 'lina to be right, and therefore he fought for her; he believes her still to have been right, and ho says .so. ?Lc believes that when a war was [u nscented for a specific object, and could only under the Constitution be prosecuted for that sp?cifie object, that th?? cessation of armed resistance carried necessarily with it a pledge, so much the more binding upon men of honor as it rests for execution en? tirely upon honor. Hereupon the 7W?>HMehowls. What is its complaint against Wade Hamp? ton? Not that he disobeys the law, not that ho is engaged in plotting a counter-revolution, but that he can? not see through Mr. Greeley's eyes. WI)at specially makes the Republican party furious is, that men will not ' think as it does. It is not contented 1 that the Southern States should be \ compelled to accept its view of the j relation of the States to each other j and to the Federal Government, ; which the Southern States do; but it | insists that they shall put on record | an acknowledgment of wickedness as well as of defeat. The Tunes, to which the idea of I honor seems as ridiculous as tho I squaring of a circle, warns the South? ern States against indulging in such luxury as too expensive for poor peo? ple. We did suppose that "honor" meant greatness of soul added to honesty, and that tho highest eulo gium to pass upon character was to ? attribute to it honor. It is very i clear that, in the Times1 view, to keep out of tho criminal courts is about as J much soul-ward as a mau ought to ? aspire to. Bank-ward, comfortable- \ ward, let him stretch Iiis energies. I ?New York Wo el il. j The T. D. Wagner, which plied | between Charleston and Boston, has ! been burnt at sea.
