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.

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

He was a man of the highest charac?

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

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?

the completion of his Senatorial term.

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.

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.
