COLUMBIA. Wednesday Morning, Jan. 16, 1867. Tile Nut Decision. Tho Snprcnic Court of the United States having manfully ?incl justly set aside military government, and thrown around the people thc safe? guards of civil law, the people of thc unrepresented States feel encouraged to hope that this eminent body of jurists will shortly restore them to their rights in tba matter of represen? tation in Congress. The powers of that body as now const ituted will pro? bably be pa.sis>>?i in review, for aa mi? litary commissionii were pronounced illegal and unconstitutional, so must that clause of thc Constitution guar? anteeing to every .State representa? tion in the Senate of thc United States be enforced by tho same tribunal. As a cotemporary says, the powers of Congress must be de? fined, if our liberties are to bo secured hereafter. Taxation and representation must bc declared to bc inseparable, and this vital principle must ho estab? lished by the Supreme Court as the law of thc land. If thc Sh..eS of tho South arc unrepresented, it i? mani? festly against right, law, justice, tho Constitution, and all those principles upon which thc Government was founded, that they should bear any portion of thc burden of supporting a Government in which they have no voice whatever. It is this grand old principle, for which our fathers "rebelled" against England, that inspires thc people of the South with hope-that, in a case soon to bc brought before our highest judicial tribunal, that body will de? cide taut the now excluded States are Stales in fact, and that they aro enti? tled to the representation guaranteed to them by the Constitution. This expected decision would not only be more instrumental in the work of recuperation of the broken and despoiled people of tho South than e.ny other instrumentality that wc kuow of, 'out it would at once re? vive tile bun.;., ss of the "whole coun? try, now stagu mt under the weight of taxation aud au inflated currency. In New York, we are told that trade is at ;LS low an ebb as it lins ever reached iu that city, except when completely paralyzed by panic. The leading stoivs are groaning under stocks of expensive' foreign goods im? ported for the holiday season, but not sohl. Business in the wholesale stores is so dui!, and the prospect is so gloomy, that expenses are. being reduced wherever it is practicable to di) so. As we ?nive heretofore no? ticed, manufacturing nt tin: North and Ea>t is being greatly reduced, and many thousands of operatives are out of employment fm- the winter. We icc! perfectly assured that if the Southern States were restored to their political status in Congress bv tie' decision ot the Supreme Court, this ghv.nn would soon pass away, anti that a more practical legislation timi) that of tin. rights and equality of the emancipated African would spe< oily follow. Let us hope, there? fore, that we of the South arc on the eve of better times ami a more pros? perous futuro than was anticipated some weeks ayo. THE HEAT. ISSUE.-Tho Hartford Times state's the issue thus: "Tiie war was waged against the South to preserve the Union, ami to force their Representatives into Con? gress. Thad. Stevens at thc head of the Republican party, i.s now waging another and more dangerous war against the South, to keep tho Union divided, and to force Southern Rep? resentatives out of Congress." SAVANNAH E??TERPBISE.-"We notice a statement that the citizens of Sa? vannah ait; turning their attention to the project of cutting a canal of eight miles along thc coast, by the moans of winch 400 miles of inland navigation, from Savannah to Jupiter lulet, Florida, will be opened to steamers of four feet draft.' LIBERALITY. -The Massachusetts employers are becoming exceedingly liberal to their workmen. A reduc? tion of 15 to 20 percent, in tho wages of tho workmen has been made by the shoo manuafacturcrs of Haverhi?l vicinity. Give 'em more tariff. Mr. Dean, of the United States : Coast Survey, who has been at Heart's Content to determine its exact longi? tude, reports that the cable is not j doing more than one-fourth tho bu-! sines it is capable of. Governor Oglesby and General Logan have abandoned the Scnatori- ? al contest in Illinois". The opponents | of Mr. Trumbull's re-nomination have j concentrated on General Palmer. Noble ICiiitucKy Wo leura from the lust number of 1 the Louisville Courier, that thc peo? ple of that State nre heartily and liberally raising contributions in aid of the suffering people of the South. The farmers uro contributing grain and bacon, and the only trouble aruong them seems to be the scarcity of sachs in which to make their ship? ments. The churches ure taking up collections, and the Odd Fellowshave raised large sums by fairs and contri- j butions. In every country town the j young ladies are getting up fairs and tableaux, and wherever there is au | amateur brass band, or a Thespian j society, they give an entertainment j for the benefit of Southern widows ; and orphans. The Courier, remark- j ing oa this noble generosity, says: ? Let the good work go on. It is j sorely needed, and eve ry liberal donor may rest assured that his charity will j be worthily bestowed and held ever : in grateful remembrance. lt luis been stated that the Secretary of War had ordered liberal supplies of provisions to be distributed nt various points in tho South. But let our people remember that those supplies will not reach even the half of the sufferers that are not relieved by pri? vate charity. Tho Government rations will be scut for distribution to the agents of the Freedmen's Bu? reau, and will bc doled out by officials under all thc restrictions and with all the delays usual in red tape transac? tions. There are large sections of country from which tho nearest de? posit of these Government rations will bo so distant that m.my a poor widow will he unable to reach them or to carry thom back, when obtained, lo lier starving children.

THE FREEDMEN'S BUREAU.-This institution was passed over tho Pre? sident's veto, and the unanswerable arguments that ho presented against it. The measure was brought for? ward by the fanatics wi io control Congress, and the Republican party, without regard to its legality or its cost, embraced it. as one of their pets. Thc late decision of thc Supremo Court of the United States reaches the military tribunals established by that bill, and declares them tobe illegal. Deprived ol" the aid of these bayonet courts, the Freedmen's Bu? reau is weak, except in the matter of expending money, and in this it is very strong. It harbors au army of lazy office-holders, and its managers are calling upon Congress to appro? priate to them $?,000,000 for this year's use. This would give 1,000 office-holders just Si,ooo each for the year. They are good suckers, and will not rest content with any? thing short of that sum. [Hartford Tiniest. Punch says instead of "as sharp as a needle," say "as sharp as a, needle gnu." Wanted-A. FinwuclaJ Crisis. Tho Indianapolis Herald has the following somewhat amusing view of the situation of the country: High feeding, little to do and a good time generally, make animals vicious. A fat an d sleek bull-terrier, with a nice warm kennel to sleep in, and free access to the lard?V well supplied with succulent bones, is much more liable to insert a full set of teeth in the calf of the first favor? able log lie meets, titan is the manpy, half starved nanine puriah whom uo body o' ns, and who gleans a pr< ca? rious suosistenco by grubbing among thc garbage of the gutter, or IP noc? turnal incursions in search of <ontra band soap grease, iuto back yards, out of which he would be ruthlessly brick-batted if caught in thc act. Tho well to do saddle or carriage horse, with unlimited oats aud abun? dant hay at command, is handier with his heels, and more given to running away than the melancholy ami ema? ciated hack, whose life is a perpetual round of arduous service in cart or dray, with little or nothing to eat. Poverty exercises a chastening and relining influence upon the tempers of human cattle as well as domestic animals. What is true of individuals is also true of aggregations ot ani? mals-in the homo line. Communities scourged with pestilence or famine arc not wicked simply for the plea? sure of being wicked. Hut after a long season of prosperity they bo- j come devilish, meddlesome, exacting, and generally disagreeable. Taking a periscopio view of these United States of North America and Ute strange creatures which populate them, we are impressed with the con ? viction that tho country is fast going to the devil, with constantly increas? ing momentum. Anarchy is but a short distance ahead, and madness rules tho hour. If you don't believe it, look at Congress. Head the radi? cal newspapers. Note the monstrous and hitherto unheard of schemes which arc nov, being elaborated for the purpose of perpetuating the ride of a party. Witness the decadence of political honesty, and thc fungous growth of political scoundrelism. Sweet are the uses of adversity. Poverty is an excellent moans of grace. What wo need now to bring the peo? ple to their senses, and save the country from the mad plottings of demagogues, drunk with fanaticism, is a financial crisis-such a crisis as will occupy the minds of the rich, with efforts to preserve their fortunes, and amuse the poor with struggles for bread. For the past five years the people of thc North have been feed? ing too high, wealing purple and line linen, like Dives, and faring sumptously every day. Petroleum, shoddy and tax exempt bonds have given our people too much leisure in i which to hatch political devilment, land supervise tho morals of their neighbors. They have "felt their oats," and become vicious. With great financial trouble will come peace, audit seems as if Providence Lad determined to intervene, to save this country in its hour of greatest peril-to save it from its deadliest enemy --itself. Thc signs of the times are portentous of evil, ont of which will come good Premonitory symptoms of financial convulsion have been observed for sometime. It is evident that tho storm will soon break upon us. When people begin to starve, ur thc dread of starvation comes upon them, they will begin to think. When they begin to think, there will be room to hope for tho future of America. m * <*? PRESIDENT JOHNSON.-The Rich? mond Times says of President John? son in connection with his recent message vetoing thc negro suffrage ?bill: "Wo publish elsewhere one of those powerful, manly and patriotic State papers, with which tile Presi ! dent is .vainly essaying to cheek the j mad career of the legislative depart i mont of thc Government. They ? reach us at long intervals, and always j hil us with admiration of fresh cvi ? dence of the fearless spirit with I which the Chief Magistrate defends \ the Constitution. Amid dennncia i tiona, foul-mouthed abuse, misrepre? sentations and threats of impcach ? ment, he .stands as resolute anti j faithful at his post as did the Roman i sentinel at tho gates of Pompeii, 1 when that city was buried beneath I the burning lava and ashes of Vesu? vius. No admiring eye or encourag I ing voice-no order of his centurion I kept tho soldier at tho gates of the ? doomed city, anti nearly two thousand j years elapsed before tho world learned j the heroism of his example. The j fate of the President may be the I same, ana moid thc chaos, insanity j ami heated passions of these un? happy times, no heed may be taken I of the President's splendid courage, but posterity will do him amide just? ice, and place his name as a patriot j statesman in tho same list with the fathers of the republic' -?-*??-? A new bnll-ring has been opened opposite Havana, lt was inaugurated on Sunday fifty yards from a church. The prayers of those who worshipped God and the yells ami profane oaths of the bull-ring freely intermingled. Tho New York Citizen proposes J. "G.

A Georgia poet styles President Johnson "thc Pharos in the storm." Thc UiuinCH of tho Country. Thc New "York Ermina Post ap- : peals to Congress for some wise legis- l lation upon financial mutters in an ? article beginning with the following: I We seem, from the numerous com- < plaints we hear, to be falling upon ] what are popularly known as "'hard : times." Business in most branches ? is dull; men who have been a dozen : or twenty years engaged in mercan- 1 tile pursuits tell us they never knew , snell unprosperous times. Sales ure small; stocks of goods arc not re? newed; everybody is either waiting ' or suil'eriug: either poor, or prudent- ' ly expecting to beso, lt is true, that ' this is thc dull season of tho year, when trade is expected to languish somewhat; but there is moro than i mere temporary deadness. The great crash, winch was so long looked for, may not come, because it I has beeu provided against to a cor-*: ; tain extent. It is pretty sure that 1 men in general do not owe much | ? money; credit is not free; indebted- j ? ness is not great or wide-spread:;, the clements of a "great crash" are j , not, therefore, at hand. But it would j; seem that we may have presently a ? ? gem rai stagnation of business, a : , dullness and deadness as discouraging ; and disabling as the great revulsion j of 1857-perhaps even moni so. Wo hear daily of trade and industry ? leaving us, and seeking refuge with i our neighbors in the British pro- | vinces, or further yet. Our mer- ! chants find it impossible to sell Anio- ! rican products at a profit abroad; our i workmen, in many branches of in- ' dustry, aro without employment; men . long and prosperously established in business are compelled to abunden ! that in which they excelled, and to ? turu their capital and energy into ; pursuits Joss profitable to the conn- j try. Industry and trade ave alike paralyzed. Tho cause of ali this is well known. , Our currency is depreciated: our skilled labor is forcibly turned into unaccustomed channels by unwise legislation; our manufacturers are burdened with taxes, which make production too costly for us to com? pete in thc world's markets with other nations; our people are forced by unjust laws to buy their raw mate- j rials and many of the necessaries of life in the dearest markets. In all tlii?;. the enemies of liberty j see cause fur joy and hope. "Thc | i delays of your Congress will yet serve j ! us as We would not serve ourselves," ; exclaimed a shrewd Democrat, the I o iier ?liv. lo a Republican, "lu sdi 1 I that goes on with you." wrote al Sont'?ern man. a rebel, to a friend j i here lately, "we seo cause for hope. ! lu keeping us out, you do us a ser- : vice- we shall escape the ruin and j j disgrace you aro bringing upon your- : I selves. We may yet attain what we j ! wish, by your own self-destruction." , -. -o ?>- . MORK Sn i s Ac.?INST GEN. BI n.ER. . ! A letter from New York, in the Phi- j ? ladelphia Ledger, says: j .Another batch of suits for the re- j covary of damages has been instituted i ; against Gen. Butler, in thc Supreme | j Court Chambers. The plaintiffs are ' lin some eases citizens of New Or? leans, and in others citizens of Vir? ginia, and all claim to be and have i been loyal men. j Thc most serious of these com I plaints or suits is based upon the j allegation that Gen. Butler had, by I virtue of his power in New Orleans, compelled a Air. Houiwell to transfer ; tho steamer Carlotta, worth $60,000, i to himself personally for $40,000, in j a currency worth but $28,500; had, j through his agent, sent this vessel on I a private venture for his own advan ! tage, which it was insinuated was lo ! i supply the rebels with quinine, ?fcc; ! and then, through this agent, had j chartered it to the Government for I $350 per day, though the original owner was willing to charter it to I them at $50 per day, and had ulti j mutely "run her under" near the end j of the war, and obtained for her ! 8-10,000. It was claimed, therefore, j that in no sense could it bo said that j this had been done under authority I from the President or Congress, j Gen. Butler's counsel contend that ; these acts were done in accordance with Government authority, and ' moves, therefore, that they be trans i ferred to a'Pederal court for adjudi? cation. The court promised a deci- j ! sion in a day or two. j THAD, FOR SENATOR.-A despatch ! I from Harrisburg, Pa., says: j On Thursday evening, tho liepub- I Hean members of the Pennsylvania j Legislature, in caucus, nominated j Simon Cameron to be Senator of thc | j United States. Cameron received 4(3 j j votes, Forney 0, and Kelley 0. Thus j i it will be seen that the "pure men" i ' of tho Pennsylvania Legislature have discarded Thad. Stevens and elected Simon Cameron to the United States Senate, to look after Forney. We presume Mr. Stevens was right when I he said, a few days since, that the i members of that Legislature were ? men who could not bi; bribed. The j facts that Forney did not receive -/ ! single vole, and that Stevens got (?lily 1 seven, will be generally accepted as good evidence of the truth of Mr. ! Stevens' declaration. One thing is j manifest, that very little ammunition was wasted ondead ducks at Harris j burg on Thursday night. P. S.-Since the above was in type, j we learn that the reason of the very large diminution of the votes of Kel? ley and Forney, and still larger in? crease of Thad. Stevens, is because K. and F. turned their friends over to Stevens!-Washington Republican. SniOHTiiY PKK?ONAI?-Brick Pome? roy hacks ?it an old political confrere, thc chief editor of the Chicago Times, is follows: "W. P. Storey is a man of talent, but of no principle. He is ..o?d, seliish, scheming, miserly at heart, unwannedby generosity, i'a?sc licartcd. egotistical, domineering, un? social, illiberal, pig-headed, a polit? ical prostitute who has at last received Iiis price." --?? * A telegram dated. .Jacksonville, < h e- ? gon, January 1 i. says that a terrific ] earthquake was felt at Fort Klan ath r >n the 8th instant.
