COLUMBIA! Wednesday Morning, Jan. 9, 1867. Thc Veto message. Andrew Johnson has again vindi? cated the Constitution of hi? country, and the political rights of its people, in tho message which we published yesterday morning. If our readers have carefully perused that docu? ment, they will unite with us in pro? nouncing it ono of tho ablest State pupers that has ever issued from tho Executive chair. The President has, ou funner occa? sions, expiessed the motives and de? signs of the dominant party in Con? gress; but in this message he 1ms administered tho severest rebuke to that reckless faction which luis yet come from his pen. He has calmly and ably set before the people of Hi* country the usurpations of tho pre? sent Congress, and has discussed, with signal ability, the respective power- of the three great depart? ments of the Government. There is not a position ho has taken-not a paragraph in the whole message that can be successfully combatted or contradicted. And yet, in despite of thc teachings of the founders of the republic, which he so aptly brought before theso conspirators against the ?Constitution and the Union, the Se? nate of tho United States (such as it is) pressed tho unrighteous measure over thc vet?' by a vote of 2'J to 10. We really begin to despair of the country when such a calm, dispassion? ate argument fails to arrest thc ir ad career of tho men who now frame our laws. What is to be the result, G*xl alone knows; but if this Republican Government falls, the fratricidal hands which destroyed it will receive the well-deserved anathemas of future generations. We need not go into an elaborate review of this message, as we hope that every reader of the Phonix has given it T? careful perusal. Whatever may be the fate of our unfortunate country, Andrew Johnson has proved himself to be a true patriot and emi? nent statesman. -o - THE SCTM?EME COURT DECISION.-A Washington despatch says General Grant has had a long interview with Secretary Stanton upon the effect of the recent decision of the Supreme Court upon military commissions. It renders the Freedmen's Bureau and civil rights bilis nullities, and while it is allowed to stand, orders will be issued to prove ni any conflict of au? thority under it. Secretary Stanton. General ( leary. General Palmer, and all oilie r army officers who have been upon military commissions, are hour? ly liable to criminal arrest and trial. Senator Trumbull, who drew up both the above bills, agrees with the Su? preme Court. - - The Boston Post miks: "If the pre? sent Congress eau abrogate the pre? sent Governments of the Southern States, why can't rho next Congress abrogate Governments recognized by this Congress, and one Congress after another go on in the same way? The question is pertinent. The doctrines of the radicals tend ultimately, to anarchy." [And if, as they constantly say, the Constitution may be over-ridden by a majority of the popular vote, what is thc use of a Constitution at all? Ii thc radicals can disregard it now, wc can disregard it whenever we get thai majority, against whose acts the amendment is intended as a protec? tion. ] - -_?^^?_.. ._ The Hon. Arthur P. Kayne, a vene rablcand esteemed citizen of Charles? ton, departed this life on Monday. He was a man of the highest charac? ter and the most irreproachable in? tegrity, and had discharged many positions of honor and trust, and had always fulfilled their duties with credit lo himself and the State. He was on the staff of Gen. Jackson ai the memorable battle of New Or? leans-fifty-one years ago. Mr. Hayn? was a resident, of this city during thc war. Oregonians lately gave kto one oi their mountains the nanni of Mount Hood. It at once turned volcano, and Las been spouting fire cvei since. Bat its gallant namesake i: quiet enough. The radical papers have much t< say about t heir 'party's will. If thei] party hasn't made Its "will,"wc trns that the time for it to do so so wi; soon come. Tue statement published by som of the papers, a short time ago, tim Ball, Black & Co., tho well-knowi jewellers of New York, bad failed, i untrue. MESSES. EDIXOKS: The action of the merchants of Colombia, iu at tempting lo protect their own and the interests of tho public, by trying to lix a standard market value to Slate bills, at which rate the mer? chant, thc mechanic, the planter and j all interested should receive them, ? has raised "a tempest in a tea-pot," anil great bursts of indignation from ! interested partie:-. The meeting of ' merchants was openly held in Gibbes' I Hall, and we conceive that merchants have just as good n right to meet and take council with each other as Ma? sons, Odd Fellows ur printers' asso? ciations. The advocates of State credit may, in the present ease, cry ont, "Save me from my friends;" for they have j injured it more by their injudicious ! attempts to bolster it up, and given it a publicity never entertained by the merchants. Now to tho facta of depreciation, it is known to every one except a few interested parties in Columbia-tho Stale issues haye lost their purchasing power, and for months past, could not be used to purchase the produce of the coun? try. The planter will not take them for his cotton. If he would do so, aud carry home tho State bills as he now carries home gold and green? backs, they would be ou par with the latter. But as the bone and sinew1 of thc country-the plauters and farm? ers-refuse to receive the bills, and they are as much interested ns "Many Mechanics," the result is de? preciation. The Legislature, at the extra session, took their pay iugreen? backs, the choice being extended to tb.un-State bills or greenbacks. At thc late session, they exhausted the greenbacks in the Treasury, and took the portion only needed to make up the deficiency in State issues. f)ne member, at least, expressed* himself that the State bills were worthless, and would never be paid. To use thc expression of a disbursing oflieer "They acted shaine/idhi, and their ac? tion had a pernicious effect on thc St(/tc credit.''"'' The State bills have no cir? culation in the interior, (.'anse-the people will not receive them for their produce. In Columbia, these bills are very abundant, because it is headquarters for their issue, and because the mer? chants of Columbia have heretofore, with great inconvenience and less to themselves, received them at par. This they can no longer do, and con? tinue to sell goods at moderate pro? fits. Thc man who sells merchandize at 25, 50 or 100 per cent, profit, can well a?'ord to take depreciated cur? rency at par; but the man who sells at 5 to 10 per cent, profit, cannot do it. It must be remembered that mer? chants buy ! heir goods in Charleston, New York. Philadelphia or Balti? more, and that they must have funds current at these points to pay for and replace their ?stock. The bills of the State are not current at any of these points, and it is well said by Mr. Solomon, in a late issue of your paper, that tho bills receivable of thc I State are like any noleof hand of any merchant, or any other commodity, "worth just what they will bring at time of sale." To illustrate: Drafts of best houses in Charleston, drawn at sight on New York, are purchased by the Charleston banks at one-half per cen?, discount; five to ten days, tthree-quarters off; fifteen days, 1 off; twenty days, 1}? off; twenty-five days, l>? oil', and thirty days, 1% off. See Charleston Courier, ot' -Ith in? stant. Pursue this idea up, and it is easily seen why bills redeemable some months ahead, will not pass at par. The Charleston banks will not receive these bills on deposit, or pay them out. They will not be received by the express companies or collect? ing agencies. Why is an out-cry not made against these parties as well as the merchants? There are three classes identified at the present time in keeping the State issue at par with greenbacks-the office-holder, the State contractors and the men who are on the fence, or who cry out, "We will take the State money at par." The two former are interested in passing oil the bills at par and real? izing their gains, no matter what the result may be, or how the poor me? chanic or working-man may bc shaved in his purchases; and the latter is only actuated by self-interest, with the hope that popular feelings may increase their gains, and in place of discounting 10 per cent, from un enrrent bills, will add 15 to 25 pei cent, to their prices, which is illus? trated by tlie fact that a State money merchant asked ?10 for an article which could be bought at $H from his neighbor, in United States cur? rency. Thu two funner of this class cm preserve the State credit by re? taining the bills receivable until th? taxes ure collected. Surely, ii' the} have the credit of the State at heart, they will hold the bills a few months, until taxes are collected. Ask those men who pretend to all the honesty iu tho country, and whose patriotism or State pride is wounded by depre? ciation, bow much you will carry as your share of these State bills? AD tiio reply will be, they are good, an you must carry them. Greenback; are not as good as gobi-no legisla? tion could make them so. State is sues are not as good as greenbacks because they ure not convertible at pleasure into national currency. I is ridiculous here to talk of the de predation of paper money after on; experience with Confed?ralo money, commencing at par and ending that a cord of it would not pay for a load of wood. The Yankees would make themselves ridiculous if they would war with England because United States bonds are worth less than Britisn Consol.--. The present ea.se is a parallel. SOUND CURRENCY. OUTRAGE.-We regret to have to chronicle such an outrage as the fol? lowing, which wc clip from the Edge field Advertiser: On Christmas Eve night,about the rising of the moon, a band of sown or eight men rode up to the door of Mr. James McCarty, an oki man living on tho Columbia road, about fourteen miles from tbisplace. Three of them dismounted, entered the bouse, represented themselves as "Yankees," demanded Mr. McCarty's keys, forced them from him, unlock? ed a small iron safe in which he kept his money and papers, and took from ! it $1,016 in gold; 130 odd in silver. 150 in greenbacks, and610,000worth I of notes and accounts. They then left the house and rejoined their com i rades at the gate, taking with them the said money and papers. They \ took with them also Mr. McCarty's I shot gun, already loaded. Mr. Mc? Carty and his wife followed them into tho piazza, and, as they made ready i to ride oil, denounced them. At this ?the old man'a own gun was tired at him. He received in one leg ?onie thirty or forty squirrel shot. Mrs. McCarty was also painfully wounded in the thigh, one large ball, apparent? ly from a revolver, passing entirely through the leg. After this the des? peradoes rode olT with their booty. A I TERM rr.-A late number of thc San Antonio Herald, in its news from Mexico, spenks thus of arecluscaway up in that region: "A hermit has taken up his abode in the Apache country, in the Hueco Mountains, about thirty-live miles East of El Paso. Ko is au Italian by birth, about sixty years of nge, ' speaks many languages, is well edu? cated, aud is believed by the si ni] de Mexicans, who visit him ty hundreds, io be endowed with remarkable gifts, such as the working of miracles, &c. He has resided in Peru, among thc \ Andes, in Brazil, Patagonia. Central America, and subsequently in En rope and Asia, and also in iii.: l'y- : rennes, and more*recently among the mountains of New Mexico. Ho also spent twenty-nine years ot his earlier days among tim mountains, as a mis? sionary to ibo Indians. He possesses a great quantity of curious books and documents, many of the latter from crowned heads, showing that at one time he was a personage of consider? able note, all of which he seems gra? tified to show those who visit him." GOOD FARMING.-Some years ago, | Dr. Cloud, editor of the American j Cotton Planter, by manuring and j careful culture, raised 5,898 pounds of seed cotton io tho acre, on pine < hind, in Macon County, Alabama. J'y tito same system of culture, Gen. Dunlap, cf Mississippi, picked five pounds of seed cotton, by weight, from a single stalk. It does pay to j farm well, anywhere, in a new or old country. A building which cost $0,000 has been opened as a normal colored school in Atlanta, Ga. It is called the "Storni School," in compliment! to Rev. Dr. Storrs, of Cincinnati, whose congregation contributed most of the funds. The school is under the care of the American Missionary Society. The friends of Simon Cameron are urging his election as United States Senator, in preference to Thaddeus Stevens, on the ground that the lat? ter is so old that he might die before the completion of his Senatorial term. They forget that only good boys die young. INDIANS.-The news] from the far YvTest continues to indicate the ap? proach of serious and long continued difficulty with the Indians, unless the Government awake to tile importance of ike crisis. What shall be done with them, is the pressing question. William B. Astor, John Jacob Astor and W. W. Astor, and a great many more rich men, are in Wash? ington. They are said to be frighten? ed at the extremes into which the radicals threaten to plunge the conn Robberies and incendiarism are the order of tho day-or night, more properly, in Camden, S. C. Several stores have been entered, within the past week, ?md the gin-house of Capt. Boykin was burnt to the ground. Perry Durham, convicted of the murder of Thomas li. Miller, at Pickens, and .-ont -need to bcexecuted on the 14th ult., 'nus been respited by the Governor until the first Friday in March next.

BOTTLED BEK.-The National In-\ tettigencer calls upon General Butler to explain "how ho manage.! to g. t himself aud army into that interest- j ing position of which General Grant speaks in his famous report, when he J SAYS General Butler was corked up ? tight, as if in a bottle." lie won't do it, Mr. Intelligencer, so i we will explain the matter by relating a few facts, lt is a fact that Hr. Hil- j dre th, Ben's brother-in-law, was at thc time engaged iu sending hncoi*? boots, shoes, sugar and coffee across the 'ines to the Confederates at Mur freesbero', N. C., which was trans-; ported to Richmond by the Peters- | burg ami Weldon Railroad, for which cotton wax received ia ex- j chang11. Hundreds of people know j this to ba a fact. Now, we shall not j say that the General was responsible j for this trade, any further than grant? ing permits; nor shall we say that he was interested in it himself, but since it is a fact that Petersburg was de? fended at that time by a horne guard of citizens, less than five hundred j strong, and that he did allow himself to be "bottled up" at Bermuda Hun? dred, wo are under the impression that tue General's brother-in-law re? minded him of the fact that if he, with his splendid army corps, should defeat less than live, hundred of tho citizen defend? rs of Petersburg, he would cut off the market for "bacon" and kill a big cotton trade. These facts maj- let our cotemporary into the secret why General Butler allowed himself to bc "corked up tight, as if in a bottle." And by h-okiug on the maj) of North Carolina, the Intelligen? cer may find a very good reason in these facts why this "loyal" General did not take Fort Fisher. We are of the opinion, gathered from these and other corresponding facts, that tho brave General had moro "cotton" than "fight" on the brain. [Norfolk Oiti Dominion. OES-EKVIKG YOUNG MAX.-The Washington correspondent of the Charleston Mercury writes: Yester? day, when thc wind was tossing the ladies about in a most ungentlemanly manner, I could not help thinking that skirts, in ibis city at least, ought to bo like editorial matter-they onghl to be leaded. A Boston paper says: "it is very exciting to wait for the telegraph two hours of a morning, just indore day? light. and lind thc despatch, when it comes, announcing that a bara was burnell in Northern Miuuesota; da? mages $23." It is also lively for the temper and pocket of the editor and publisher. A writer, in tue Dictionaire du Com? merce, goes i"to elaborate calculations of the money saved arising out of the greater rapidity of railways, and values it at ?0,000,000, on the basis that the time of a French citizen is worth 5d. au hoar. Five different communications, ac? companied by money, from anony? mous persons who desired to relieve their consciences, were received at tho Treasury Department in Wash? ington cn the 31st ult. Ono person in Indianapolis sends $3,000. NEW YOES.-According to Br. Cuyler, there are 10,000 commun prostitutes and 20,000 kept mistresses in New York. The World shows these figures to bo much, exaggerated. Men of the world are usually posted on such matters. At a school in Connecticut a pupil owed his teacher $520, and as a receipl for 820 or over requires a two ceul stamp, the man gave the boy a re? ceipt for ?19.99, and gave him badi one penny, thus saving one cenfv A young mau out West who wai given money to buy a sewing ma? chine, carried off a neighbor's daugh? ter to Chicago, and returned home with her, saying she was the besl family sewing machine he could find. TOBIES.-During the revolution. Washington said he was afraid ti march through Chester County, Penn sylvania, because of the tories. Tba is now ono of the strongest radica Counties in the State. A clergyman in Chicago has bcci deserted by his wife because he wa: guilty of plagiarism, preached othei men's sermons, aud was not as bril? liant intellectually as she had sup? posed prior to her marriage. It is a sad commentary upon tin prosperity and "fast" habits of th last few years in America, that sino 1856, nearly all of our .State, peahen tiaries have doubled tho number o their inmates. A young gentleman recently res cued a young lady who was in im minent danger ol' drowning. The, are to be married soon. Moral: B sured her life aud lost his senses.

They have news girls in Chicagc as weil as news-boys. BusTEED AMONG THE CORKS.-Tho following little item i.-. amusing. Il will be seen that Dick on the bench, and Dick "among the corks," are two distiuct individuals: We heard ?1 good .story of Judge li., the other day-too good to be lost-coueeruing Judge Bustoed's views of the constitutional amendj mfnts, connected with "Dick Bu steed's opinions. On thc eve of thc adjournment of the Alabama Legislature, a few days ago, a number of thc legal members of that body had a high old time with Judge Ji., at one of the crack restaurants of Montgomery. After shooting off numerous champagne corks against the ceiling, Judge B. got excited, and at mention of the constitutional amendments, tired off a piece of his mind right into the crowd. Said he: "As the Hon. Richard liusteed, up there, presiding as United States District. Judge, I am for the amend? ments; but tis plain Dick Busteed down here, boys, I'd see 'ian damned first !" [Great applause and another volley at the ceiling.] [ Meru li in Afess unge. An English judge in charging the jury in a railway case, said that he thought the blowing of tobacco smoke in tho face of a fellow railway passen? ger may be considered an assault. The prophecy, "Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be in? creased," is believed by a contempo? rary to be fulfilled hythe advent of newsboys. To make a girl love you, coax lier to love somebody else. If there is anything that woman relishes, it is to be contrary. A new lire extinguisher has been tested at Detroit. A man can carry it on his back. It throws a liquid which at once destroys lire. The people of Home, Ga., have shown their good sense by electing Hon. C. H. Smith (Jlill Arp) Mayor of that city.

One-fortieth of the whole popula? tion of Belgium is engaged in the manufacturo of lace. The Chinese say that tho specific character of the English people is half man, half beast.
