COLUMBIA. Friday Morning, November 23,1866. Politics, Final??? and Trade. The connection between thcso sub? jects exists ut all times, but, in tho present, condition of public affairs in this country, this connection is par? ticularly observable, and is attracting considerable attention from thc think? ing men of both sections. Tho continued exclusion of the planting States of tho South from representation in Congress, and the certainty, almost, that this exclusion will bo prolonged for another year at least ; the nefarious tax of throe cents per pound on cotton ; tho apparent determination of the party in power to insist on the harsh terms embraced in the constitutional amendment; and the equally positivo determination of thc Southern States to reject these terms -all conspire to unsettle com? mercial relations, and to keep pros? trat? that confidence so necessary to sustain commercial transactions and to keep the capital of the country in its natural avenues of trade and ex? changes. It is. then, evident that a continu? ance of this political condition of affairs must bo accompanied by a stagnation of trade, visible even now, both at the North and the South; but it not only stagnates business-it clogs Hie progress of industry, at a time when it is so necessary to de? velop the resources of thc country. Financial embarrassment invariably follows such interruptions in the ope? rations of trade and commerce; and the natural resnlts of an inflated and depreciated paper currency-commer? cial failures and bankruptcies-will thus come upon a people who own and occupy a country whose resources are unequalled by an}' country in the world. The prospects of tho great staple of tho South aro not encouraging. Cotton was, at ono time, the greal instrumentality in regulating ex? changes, keeping in healthful opera? tion our foreign commerce, anc bringing specie or its equivalent tc tho producers, enabling them, eacl successive year, to increase its pro daction and develop otherwise th< grand resources of their section. I' built railroads, erected foundries anc factories, and brought to us everj needed artielo of consumption, anc' all tho machinery and agricultura implements required to carry on, sue cessfully, enterprises of every kind Now, all has changed. No capital ii coming South for tho purchase o cotton, because thc amount of cottoi is not sufficient to induce it. Planter: in Alabama and other States, evei after they have sold their small crops have no money left, and wo obscrvi that, in some sections, they find them selves in debt to their factors, afte: the accounts are balanced. Such is the present condition o cotton, with no hope; of improve mont. We do not believe, nor d< many practical planters believe, tha the labor wo havo left is to bo mon relied upon next year, or tho yea: after, than it lias been in tho past Tho oxpeiienee of Northern men win have made the experiment of plant ing cotton, it is asserted upon gooi authority, has been so discouraging that no moro capital will como iron that section to tho South to aid in it production. Such is tho deplorable condition ti which radical legislation has brough the country, and such will bo its con dition-if not worse-so long as thc; have legislative control iu the conn oils of tho nation. Faith, enduranc and patient working and waiting wer never moro needed by any peopl than they are needed now by the pee plo of tho South. MEXICO.-The Herald, of Tuesday says : information has been received i Washington that an expeditiouar loree under Mejia was about to leav San Luis Potosi for the recapture c Tampico. Our correspondent a Washington says, Gen. Sherman lin been sent to the Mexican coast mere y to watch and not to direct malten News from Vera Cruz has been rc cciyed to tho 13th instant. Max: milian's ministers had determined t retain their offices for thc presem Tho Emperor was still at Orizabi Ortega was still at Brazos, but ir tended returning to Now Orleans Tapia's forces attacked Matamoros o the 9th inst., but were repulsec Tapia died on the night of the 10t of cholera, and Eescobedo was r< ported as having arrived at th scene of action. t?c-nc nt I Assembly* Wc anuex thc latest despatches o? the proceedings of tho General As? sembly of the Presbyterian Church, South, now in session at Memphis: Tho Canons of Discipline -were taken up and read by Kev. Dr. Adger, Chairman of tho Committee on thc same, but was stopped by Rev. Dr. Miller. It is due here to state that these canons have been under consi- j deration and advisement by a special committee for the last niue years, and are as able and theological as anything of the kind that is extant. Dr. Miller wished to ask whether these rules recognized baptized chil? dren as subject to the rules of the church, and to bc governed by them? Dr. Miller then entered into ii lengthy argument, which was able and deci? sive, that children baptized by Chris? tian parents were as much members of tho church as those who are adults. Spoke of thc covenant made with God and His children, accepting their children into tho covenant. Ho then drew a very striking parallel between tho Old Testament Church and the New, and from that concluded that the child was subject to excommuni? cation for disbelief as much as the parent. Dr. Adger thought, with all due deference to tho brother's opinions, that ho had some wild notions. Did not thiuk the brother had any au? thority for his views. Said the chil? dren were not accountable; conse? quently, the vows of parents were not obligatory on them only so far as the duties of child to parent. That the Church could not "haul them up," try them for unbelief, and turn them out. The order of tho day for reports of executive committees having arrived, Kev. Dr. Wilson, Chairman of the Executive Committee: on Foreign Missions, read the report, which was appropriately referred. Dr. E. T. Baird then read the re? port of thc Committee on Publica? tions, with one from the treasurer of the committee, which were also re? ferred. The discussion of the relation of baptized children to discipline in the church was concluded the next day, and the canon, as reported by the commissioners, was adopted. An im? portant report on beneficiary educa? tion was presented by the chairman of the committee appointed by the last General Assembly. Carson's dis? ciplinons far as chapter'.), wasadotp ed, with slight modifications. STOLEN.-Rev. Dr. Adger, of South Carolina, in a letter to Dr. Backus, of Baltimore, lately published, makes tho following statement, and vouches for tho fact: "When General Sherman's anny passed through Winnsboro, S. C., a Captain Fuller and six others of that army, robbed one of the ruling elders of the Zion Presbyterian Church there of an elegant silver communion set, the gift of a dying female mem? ber of the same, costing $280 in New York, and having the Church's name and the donor's name engraved upon each article." Dr. Adger makes the following ad? ditional statement, which, for the honor of humanity as well as Chris? tianity, wo hope cannot be true: "A certain congregation of your body now has that silver communion set, which Captain Fuller presented to them, and aro now using it for their communion purposes, with those names of Zion Church and its dying sister staring them continually in the face, as they eat the bread and drink tho wine which set forth tho body and blood of our common Master." The idea that a Christian church can colebrato the holy ordinance of the Lord's Supper in tho uso of ves? sels thus obtained, is too monstrous. -.o <-? HOMICIDE.-We learn that Mr. Geo. Meyer, recently appointed Assistant United States Assessor of Internal Revenue, at Blackville, S. C., was shot and mortally wounded, on Mon? day last, near that place, by two young men of this city, named George and Henry Sanders, brothers. Meyer lingered until Wednesday morning, when he expired. The brothers, San? ders, surrendered themselves, and were brought to this city, last even? ing, by Sheriff Williamson, of Barn? well District. Tho affair grew out of diflk ulties of a private nature, the particulars of which we refrain from grvrng, until an official investigation takes place.-Charleston Courier, 22rf. ..J --< m ? > DH ATTI OK THE TYCOON OF JAPAN. We learn from a despatch by the At? lantic cable that thc war in Japan is ended, and that the report of the death of the Tycoon is confirmed. Tho war arose from the revolt of one . of the numerous hereditary princes ; or chieftains-200 in number,, it is ; said-among whom the Japanese em? pire is divided. Of these princes, the Tycoon is the chief, but they are all subject to thc- authority of the Mikado, or supreme ruler of Japan, who is tho spiritual leader of the em? pire. A resolution introduced into tho Arkansas House of Representatives declining to act upon the constitu? tional amendment until such time as Arkansas is admitted to her repre sentation in Congress, was referred, ) on tho 13th inst., without discussion, to tho Committee on Federal Rela? tions.

Tho Grand Lodge of Ancient Free Milsons, which assembled in this city, at Masonic Hall, Tuesday, mot again yesterday. An additional number of representatives of Lodges in thc in? terior of the ?State reported and an? swered to roll call. Tho election of grand officers for thc ensuing year, commenced Tues? day evening, being the special order,?! was taken up. Thc following is a full list of the officers elect: Uro. James L. Orr, Anderson. M. W. Grand Mas? ter; Bro. James Conner, Charleston, B. AV. Deputy Grand Master; Bro.' W. T. Walter. Columbia, K. W. Se? nior Grand Warden ; Bro. J. T. Ro? bertson, Blackville, lt. W. Junior Grand Warden; Bro. H. W. Schro? der, Charleston, B. W. Grand Trea? surer; Bro. B. S. Bruns, Charleston, B. W. Grand Secretary; Bro. J. B. Pickott. Orangeburg, B. W. Grand Chaplain. B. W. Brother James II. Nash, Deputy Grand Master, from tho com? mittee to whom was referred thc ad? dress of thc M. W. Grand Master, made a favorable report on that por? tion recommending the appointment of a Grand Lecturer. Brother .lames A. Hoyt, of thc same committee, made a report on that portion of the address referring to the donation of 61,000 to the Grand Lodge of Se 'th Carolina by the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania. The report was accompanied by a re? solution returning the warnt thanks of tho Grand Lodge to the Grund Lodge of Pennsylvania for the gene? rous donation. After a spirited discussion and most feeling and eloquent address of the ex-Grand Secretary, Brother A. G. Mackey, the resolution authorizing the appointment, by tho M. W. Grand Master, of a Grand Lecturer, was unanimously adopted. Thc donation of SI,OOO from the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania was, after sonic discussion, ordered to bc paid over to the Lodges in Columbia, South Carolina. Thc imposing ceremonies of in? stallation of the grand officers took place at Masonic Hall, at 9 o'clock in tho evening. The hall was densely crowded. M. W. Past Grand Master Henry Buist installed the M. W. James L. Orr, Grand Master elect, who was saluted as Grand Master of Masons, of South Carolina, with the grand honors of masonry. Tho re? maining officers were afterwards in? stalled by tho M. W. Grand Master. The following subordinate officers were appointed: W. Bro. S. W. Mau? rice, W. and Bro. J. B. Allen, Senior Grand Deacons; W. Bro. T. V. Walsh, and W. Bro. P. S. Jacobs, Junior Grand Deacons; W. Bro. J. A. Hoyt, and W. Bro. F. Horsey, Grand Stewards; W. Bro. P. Iv. Co? burn, Grand Marshal; W. Bro. John Corby, Grand Pursuivant; Bro. Sam. Burke, Grand Tiler. A resolution was adopted providing for the taking of a full-sized portrait of the present M. W. Grand Master, and of all living Past Grand Masters and future Grand Masters; also, of ex-Grand Secretary B. W. Brother A. G. Mackey. [Charlesloh Courier, 22d. THE CoNSirruTioN SET TO MUSIC. A Paris journal states that M. Grece lcr, composer and pianist, known in New York and Boston, has set the American Constitution to music. This strange oritorium was lately per? formed before a selected audience, and though it lasted for several hours, it was seccived with enthusiastic ap? proval. Tho critics compare Greceler favorably with Mozart and Bossiui. COMMUTED.-Wc learn that his Excellency tho Governor has com? muted the sentence of Pat. Clifford, who was convicted of horse stealing and sentenced to be hanged, at the last term of tho Bickens Court, to ten years in the Penitentiary. [A nderson Intelligencer. NATIONAL TELEGKAPH COMPANY. A company has been chartered by tin; State of New York, with a capital of 610,000,000, under the above title, with thc purpose of creating a tho? rough system of competing lines throughout tho UnioD. There is a mau in New York who resembles tho Fenian Jas. Stephens so closely tis to pass for his "doublo." A. number of citizens of Metamora, Ind., exasperated at a saloon keeper named Finlay, -who allowed their sons to visit his saloon and gamble and drink, set tire to the saloon build? ing, audit was burned to the ground, with its contents. All tho other sa? loon keepers in town have been noti? fied to close np their business. The Raleigh Sentinel learns that tho rice crop of the Cape Fear is almost an cntiro failure;, Before the war, j the rico crop of that region was an? nually about 215,000 bushels. The present year it will not, wo are told, go beyond 20,000. An Augusta ((la.) correspondent of the Louisville Courier professes to have made an accurate calculation that the present number of working hands inthecottonJStates-the labor? ing force actually available-does not exceed 450,000. Cincinnati has a full regiment of Fenians, and their uniform is tho regular army oap bound with green, tin! Zouave jacket with green facings and binding, and blue pantaloons with green cord. Three young men were arrested and tined $2 each, in Isew York, on Wednesday, for lounging ou a street corner. Cincinnati papers congratulate themselves that the second visitation from cholera this season is over. MARRIED, Or; thc evening of tho 21st instant, at Trinitv Church, l>v th?: Kev. P. J. Shand, D.
