COLUMBIA Friday horning, Mareil 22, 1867. Til?: ICiitl ot' Suspense. Congress has put au end to the suspense which has. for many mouths, injuriously affected business enter? prise in every section of the country, by not only establishing Govern? ments for the Southern ?States, but by passing a law looking, in the end, to the reconstruction of the Union, and the restoration of the present ex? cluded States to their proper places iu that Union. We take it tor grant? ed, that, with or without the Presi? dent's assent, the "Supplementary Bill," as it is called, will become a law; and thus a painful suspense is ended, and with it. we hope, politics and parties throughout the South. The people ot' the whole country now know definitely the terms of re? construction, ?ind the people of the South know where they stand and what they have to do. Under these circumstances, it becomes the people of these States to promptly recognize their condition, and go at once tn work in all the avocations of business and industry which tend to retrieve their shattered fortunes and restore their section to its former prosperity. Our political status is fixed, perhaps for years, although "we had no par? ticipation in fixing it, and there is now nothing left to us but tc go to our farms, work-shops oi places of business, and attend strict!j to our duties as good citizens, ren? dering obedience to the laws, ano uniting in the preservation and main? tenance of order in tho communities in which we may reside. Political discussions will hereaftei be profitless; regrets for the cliang( in our condition worst; than vain;arni all attempts to institute party discri ruinations, or array one portion o our people against the other, is tin most suicidal to our well-being, so cially, politically and otherwise. Al we have to do with politics is to ait those entrusted with the carrying on of the late law of Congress, honestb and sincerely. Our duties as a peo pie are plainly defined and pointei out in its provisions, and there is m use debating or cavilling at its re quiremcuts. So long as this laA remains iu force-until we are admit ted into the Union-we must remem ber that we arc residents of a "mili tary district," and that simp] obedience to the law will be mor beneficial and productive of goo results than any factious oppositio to the progress of reconstructs under it. The termination of the long au anxious struggle in political affairs Ave believe, will be speedily followe by a revival of business, both Nort and South. The capitalists of th former section now know the securit they will have for investments anion us, and our own people, being full aware that nothing they eau do ca change or better their condition, wil we hope, take a long farewell to pol tics, and apoiy themselves to moi profitable pursuits. If themachinei of reconstruction mus smoothly - and we 'nave no reason to doubt it, we conscientiously discharge ot duties as law-abiding citizens-v shall soon realize an improvement i our condition in every respect. Trat will revive, confidence be reston and the credit of the business men the South re-established in the ma kets where credit is needed. Sue notwithstanding till the draw-bac; we have to contend with, is the prc peet of the future for till true at good citizens in the military distric of the South. THE PRESIDENT ANO THE DEM CRACX.-Tim New York Herald, Monday, say s thal President Johns? endorses the late action of the M ?iuual Democratic Executive Coi mittee, at Mr. Belmont's house, deciding to postpone the calling of National Democratic Convention ti more convenient season. In otb words, Mr. Johnson thinks that t Democracy, as matters now stand, ti acting wisely in adopting Micawbc policy of "'waiting for something turn up." Mn. CHASE A SI> TH E 1 ?ANKBUPT LA Chiel .Justice ('base declines to j sume ftie labor timi responsibility nominating the registers provided 1 in the Bankrupt Act. until the preme Court has decided on t power of Congress to impose sn extra duty upon him. Will Gt-orgiunx Execute tim Lu?! Tliis question is Lest answered by United States District Attorney Hen? ry S. Fitch, Ks<}., who, in taking h ave of the Grand Jury, at Atlanta, last week, i> reported to have ad? dressed the court as follows: May it please the Court: Before j the Grand Jury is formally dis? charged, 1 desire, with your Honor's . permission, to return to the members j of th" panel my siucere thanks, asan ; officer of tl.e Government and of this j court, ?ur their intelligent fidelity to i the interest of the republic, and their j prompt enforcement of its laws, lt is gratifying to myself, and no doubt equally so to your Honor, especially at this critical period, to record Lhe fact that the Grand Inquest for the Norther?.] District of Georgia have not only faithfully, but earnestly vin? dicated, irrespective of persons, places, or political opinion, the sanc? tity of their official oaths and the peace ami dignity of the United States It; is a cheering prophecy of future prosperity, a happy recogni? tion ol' the truth that the Constitu? tion is not like an Arab's tent, in? tended only for a night's shelter, but in perpetuity, like the Pyramids, at once the monument of our fathers an 1 tlie protection of our children. After the sad memories of the past few years, the very spectacle of a , United .States Grand Jury, to inquire i into offences against the laws of the j repu' lie. is not a figurative, but prac? tical illustration of the dove; return- : ing over the weary waste of waters to the shelter of the ark. The pleasure which I feel an irre? sistible impulse to express is not en? tirely unselfish. As a citizen of thc republic and a resident of Georgia. 1 feel a persona] iuterest in the resur? rection of a spirit of loyalty and de- i votion to that Government which alone has heretofore, orean hereafter, by a wise administration of its laws, give protection to the rights and in? terests of every man who claims the honor of being an American citizen. And such will bc the feeling in every Southern State. The laws will be faithful]v executed. THE I?ELIEF MEETING IX PHII?AUEIJ i'HiA.-The meeting held in Philadel? phia, on Friday, to adopt measures to relieve the starving people of the South, was largely attended by the leading merchants and business men of the city. Mayor MeMichael pre? sided, and among the resolutions adopted were the following: Tho citizens of Philadelphia, in town meeting assembled, are deeply concerned to hear that, by reason of the failure of the crops and other causes, there is a state of famine pre? vailing through large portions of the Southern States. There is accumu? lative evidence to show that many thousands of our countrymen are at this moment threatened w'th actual starvation. We assure .mr fellow-citizens of the South of our cordial sympathy in their sufferings, and our earnest desire to aid in mitigating tin- great calamity which has overtaken them. Representing, as we do. a city which a benign Providence has bless? ed willi :; redundant prosperity, and which, from the days of William Penn until now, has never turned a deaf ear io any appeal on behalf of human sut ', ring, we respectfully in vite our fellow-citizens, of all parties, sects and occupations, to unite, in a prompt mal generous effort for thc relief of our famishing countrymen. The meeting was addressed by thc Rev. Hrs. Boardman and Brooks, and i I John Welsh, Fsq. Committees were I appointed to canvass the whole city, I and a large amount of money, it is j believed, will be collected. PLEASAXT PI?EDICTTOX.-The San Antonio (Texas) Express, speaking of dry seasons and crops, luis the fol? lowing: "There is.a tradition among tin.1 old settlers of this frontier that the sea? sons of prosperity in agriculture are periodical. According to the tradi? tion, there is ten years drought out of every forty years. This section has inst passed through more than ten years of unusual severe drought, j We aro about to enter thirty years nf prosperity. Our farmers .should be : 'setting their houses in order,' fitting ; u]> their fences, preparatory to the j line crops toc?me." ! W,- earnestly trust that the predic j tion of our Texas cotemporary will be 1 fully verified throughout thc entirt i South, which has suftered a terrible ! drought, in many ir<i>/s, for the past ; four years. Perhaps the bills of ' Messrs. Sherman and Wilson inaugu ! rates this new generation of pros ! perity. Gen. Sickles, Commandant of Dis ; trict No. 2, arrived in Charleston on j We Inesday. No chango will bc made ' at the present time in the administra ! tion of civil affairs. i Three freedmen died in Abbeville i during the la;;t week from neglect : and starvation. Rossini is seventy-nine and gay ? and happy and musical as ever. THE GKEAT FLOODS IN rm: WEST.- ; Since 1847, there have not been such j extensive inundations in the West and South-west as during the past few weeks. The Cincinnati Commer? cial, of the 1-ith, brings accounts from all parts of this vast region, i which ate remarkably similar. At j Cincinnati, the Ohio had risen eight-J ecu inches in the preceding twenty-] four hours, with fifty-seven feet in the i channel. At Evansville, Indiana, "all j the low lands on both sides of the; river are au illimitable waste of water, so deep that, were it not for! the timber, the largest class ol' boats could run across all points." Between this place and New Albany, Indiana, thousands of cattle, sheep ami hogs I have been drowned, and hundreds of; thousands of bushels of grain have been lost. The Louisville Courier, of tin- loth, says that "the water is in the second stories of most of the house- along the levee, while Shippingsport, the j Point and other localities are entirely 1 submerged, and their positions only j to he defined by the houses and : house-tops projecting from t lie rapidly ilowing stream. All the iou- 'ands arc submerged, and hundreds ol' families have been driven from their houses." The officers of the Dan. Able re? port at Memphis that tim whole lower country is inundated. They found only two dry landings between j there and Vicksburg-400 miles. At j Helena, the whole town is afloat, and the drift-wood is breaking down the I fences. The New York World, speaking of the prospect of early reconstruction, says: "Weare permitted to print the! billowing extract from the private letter of an eminent Cenfederate general, dated March 8, to a friend | in this city: 'The Act of Congress, bad as it is for us, I think, will result . (if it stands as the law. and 1 pre- : sume it will,) in settling matters be tween the North and the .South. I think the great body of thc people . of tlie South are exceedingly anxious ? for a final settlemcut; and that, re? lying on this being .such, they will, ' without delay, acquiesce." REVENUE TAXLS.-The reduction in ! taxes under the amendment to the i ! internal revenue law take s effect on and alter March *2, 18'?7. Allexemp-: tiens date from the morning of that ! day. The income tax now to be re- ; turned upon the income ol' last year i will bo paid according to thc new law. ' $1,000 thus returned is exempt, and j all above that pays a uniform rate of , live per cent. Tin' returns must now I ! be made in March, instead of May, as under the old law. Tin- brig Charles E. Savage, loaded \ j with corn, flour, etc., from Baltimore j j for Charleston, was wrecked off Hat- ; ! toras, on the 15th. The crew were ! saved by the steamer Herman Living? ston, of Savannah.

March 22 2 LOOKING AFT EH THE TREASURY. The Herald, of Monday, says: Tho Senate, on Saturday, passed a joint resolution for a searching in? vestigation into the alleged misman? agement of various branches of the machinery of thc Treasury Depart? ment, and the subject will c me up to-day in the House, when th? mous investigator of Buchanan's adminis? tration, John Covode, it is expected, will raise a little excitement. Even ex-Secretary Chase, it is said, has his fears of the safety of his paper money system if Covode has resolved ; to sift the wheat from the chaff. _^ ^ ^ A French report says that M. ! Thiers luis been asked whether he j would object t<> take . thee hi the event of the present French ministry ! being dismissed. .M. Thiers is said to have refused v -ry explicitly, but to have promised to support thc Clo- j vernment if its policy proved as liberal tts might be inferred from the; Emperor's letter. Bishop Odenheimer has issued a pastoral letter to the Diocese of New .Jersey, recommeu 'ing collections to be taken up in the churches through? out that State for the relief of the Southern poor. By the decision ot courts in Eng? land, a flour ?dealer in Toronto is pos- : sessed of ??2,500,000. together with , interest accruing thereon for seven : years. \ .-:--r ; Two Rooms to Rent, ?

The cars were badly damaged, but luckily no one was hurt. The up train returned with the passengers, while a freight train carried thc Greenville passengers to their desti? nation. HABEAS Coures.-Godfrey Wal? lace, freedman, who is charged with stealing cotton from William Sum? mer, Es?p, of Newberry, sonic time since, was brought before his Honor Judge Green, yesterday morning, on a writ ol habeas corpus; and after the reading of several affidavits, he was admitted to bail, iu the sum of 8500. Me-srs. l?achman & Waties repre? sented the prisoner. THE CIRCUS.-The Charleston Cj?. rier speaks as follows in reference to the circus which is to open here in a few days: Last evening, our citizens were gratified with the opening exhibition of Mike Lipman's truly "Great Com? bination Show." The immense pa? vilion was lilied at an carly hour witii an cager crowd of spectators, who were kept convulsed with laughter with the quaint sayings and odd jokes of the two clowns, ono of whom is Mr. W. 13. Donaldson, the author of the popular song "Off for Charles? ton." We do not think a better en? tertainment of its class has ever visit? ed Charleston. The entire perform? ance is truly wonderful, and is deserving of a more extended notice than we arc able to give at this time. Wc will repeat our former advice, to wit : go early to secure good seats. We cannot close, however, without saying that the pavilion is the largest and most complete that we have ever seen, and we ure assured that it is perfectly water tight, which makes it a comfortable place at all times, espe? cially so in inclement weather. The most perfect order is maintained throughout the entertainment. Tar. Cot.T'MJUA MEETING. -Thc New York Times, of Tuesday, in its com? ments on the meeting held in this city on Monday last says: It seems strange to rc;td that, among the speakers who came To applaud and encourage these negroes, were (?en. Wilde Hampton, Hon. William F. DeSaussnre, formerly United States Senator, Hon. Wm. Talley, Edward Arthur and Janies Gibbes, all emi? nent leading men of the State. Two colored men of note also made ad? dresses, and the whole spirit of the meeting is represented to have been of the most cordial good feeling. Such a fact goes a great way to ex? plode the st udious misrepresentations of Southern feeling, .scut up or in? vented here by extremists. That, in the heart of South Carolina-a State in which the blacks arc largely in the majority -one of the foremost of the Confederate Generals, and himself once th?; largest slaveholder in the country, should meet li is former chat? tels in this frank and manly style, and so unreservedly accept the situa? tion, is a fact to out-weigh volumes of hostile invective and misrepre? sentation.
