COLUMBIA. Sunday Morning, March 24, 1867. The Greut (Juin of thc New Uw. Sorrowfully as the Southern people may regard tho harsh provisions of ihe late law of Congress, proscribing the terms on which reconstruction is based, and upon which alone they can bc restored to the Union, yet there has boon ono thing gained one great obstacle removed which has prevented tho progress of recu? peration at the South and ol' the re? vival of trade and commerce in all sections of tho country, altor the ter? mination of a four years' civil war. Naturally, that termination, and nndcr thc conditions of surrender which brought tho struggle to a close, and the disposition evinced hy tho conquered, business and com? merce ought to have at once revivi d and resumed their progress in their former healthful avenues and chan? nels; but it was not to be so, and a two year's interregnum of doubt and uncertainty, induced by political par tizauship, has occurred, completely clogging tho wheels of enterprise, to the great damage of tho progress and business interests of the whole country. The ono thing gained, the great obstacle removed, hy the law now ia force in these Southern States, is the security of property. Of course, there is looming up before us tn^ d<*rk spectre of Thad. Stevens' confisca? tion bill; but every indication-the postponement of thc subject until next December, and tho opinions of tho ultra press freely expressed-a note of which we give elsewhere in our columns-relieves any apprehen? sion tho timid may entertain in rela? tion to it. If the Southern people act as they ought to act under the peculiar circumstances in which thej are placed, that bill is consigned tc its final resting place, and will scarce? ly be resurrected. The security of property is the main-spring of success in all enter prises, and enables men to confkh capital and effort to the l?gitim?t* pnrsuits of that healthful industry which contributes to the prosperity of communities, States and nations Insecurity, in this respect, beget; timidity and apprehension, and with draws capital from its legitimate em ployment, to be buried in the shapi of gold coin and other valuables, o: it is driven to some other locality than its natural field of operations Our remarks are induced by the fol lowing extract from that well-knowi political economist, McCulloch, i writer now universally acknowledgei to be standard authority on such sub jects. The extract is this: "Security of property is the priu cipal element in every properly con structed Government. When main tained inviolate, a country cai support without much difficulty very heavy load of taxes; but wher there is no security-whore propert; is a prey to rapine and spoliation, ti rho attacks of thc needy, thu po wei ful or tho profligate-tho smailes burdens are justly regarded as oppres sive, and uniformly exceed the mean of the impoverished and spiritles inhabitants. Security is iudispons;i bly necessary lo the successful exert ing of the powers of industry. Wher it is wanting, it is idle to expec either riches, prosperity or even prc longed civilization." How applicable is this brief par? graph to the condition of the Soutl ern States as it has been for the pas two yeais-and, indeed, since tL breaking out of the civil war! Durin the existence of that un for tunal struggle, property in the South w; insecure-mon wore groping blindh not knowing what a week or even day might bring forth-and their a] prehensions were not in vain, for tl. day that Lee surrendered, swej away from them hundreds of millioi in that which had always been rogan ed, treated and negotiated for i property. Tho wisc and far-seeing < our business men-many of them foresaw, and by prudential actic avoided, the full force of the crash. Bui it is since the close of tho wa during the conflict between two d partments of tho Government, th this insecurity of property has bot more severely felt-at least by tl people of the South, Not only Nort em capital and Northern credit ba? been prevented from coming to the speed}' relief, but, as wo were credit bly informed by leading journals New York, foreign capitalists, repr sooting a large amount of n?one even after arriving in that city, cl 1 dined t<1 carry <>ut their intention of investing largely iii Southern lands iiml enterprises of all descriptions, I simply from the insecurity of the per? manency of property, arising out of the political situation and the mani? festations in Congress in relation to the future status of the Southern ' States. They therefore returned to ; England with their large amount of wealth and treasure, designed to aid the South in the development of her resources. At that time, had we been restored, or any guarantees given l>y those in authority of an early re? storation, these large contributions to promote and facilitate Southern recuperation would probably to-day have been fulfilling their mission of cultivating our lauds, now lying waste and unproductive, building up our manufactories, facilitating rail? road enterprises, and opening up new avenues of trade and commerce, which would have soon not only reclaimed our section, but placed her on the highway of success and prosperity. This is the vast injury which the in stability and uncertainty of our po? litical relations, and the natural sequence of insecurity of property, have inflicted upon the Southern States-an injury from which we fear it will take many years to recover. But the great gain of tho "Military Bill,"' as it is called, or the law by which these States are now governed, is that, to a great extent, it will re? move such appreheusions as those referred to. Tenu? of reconstruction and restoration are offered" to om people, for the first time since thc cessation of hostilities, by the law? making power of the Government - the power which, rightfully or wrong? fully, controls our destiny. Thc constitutional amendment, per sc, wai offered to us and rejected, but thal did not, ou its face, proffer terms ol j restoration. Now, the proposal from the same governing power, while il embraces that amendment, distinctly assumes the form of a contract that, on its acceptance honestly and sin cerely by the people of the Souther! States, said States will be re-admittec to their rights and proper positior as members of the Federal Union This, then, is a measure of finality and the postponement (perhaps in definitely) of the confiscation mea sure of Stevens, by those who gav( us the present law, demonstrates almost beyond cavil, that they regan the Sherman bill-our present law? as the final measure of legislature against the Southern States. This bein;,' determined, there is nc longer any obstacle to the revival o trade- -no longer any bugbear of con fiscatnm to frighten capital from ou: plantations and factories. The dub of our people is. therefore, clear, am especially the duty of land-owner! and real estate owners, and that is to faithfully aid in carrying out ai the provisions of the new law. Sta bility and confidence will lie re-es tablished; property will appreciate b its full value; the wheels of indnstn set vigorously in motion, and tin rights of property fully secured Where such stability and confident docs not exist, and the security arising therefrom, as Mr. McCullocl says in the foregoing extract, "it i. idle lo expect either rich''::, prosperity, or even prolonged civilisation." -" - THE PEABODY EDUCATIONAL Titus TEES.-According to appointment the trustee's of the Peabody Southon Educational Fund had a meeting ii New York on Tuesday afternoon Among the gentlemen present wer General Grant and Admiral Farra gut, Hon. R. C. Winthrop, of Mas sachnsetts, Governor Aiken, of Souti Carolina, William A. Graham, c I North Carolina, and Georpre ^ Eaton, of Maryland. Their meeting will be continued for several days and the result, it is expected, will b such as will present a plan which wi! enable the South to reap, immc diately, the benefits of the donation Governor Aiken, of South Carolins who was present, is said to bc prc paring to go to Europe. -? ? ? ? GENERAL LEE FOR A CONVENT ION. We have it from the best authorit that (Jen. Lee is heartily in favor c a convention. He thinks we shoal make every effort to avert our mir that it is idle to talk of resistance o "inactivity.'' He acknowledges tba the pill is a bitter one, butsaysheea suffer nothing more than Appomal tox! So says th? Valley Virginian, paper published in Staunton, au doubtless well informed in the prc mises.-Richmond Dispatch. Mr. Thaddeus Stevens' confiscation project meets scaut favor among tho extremists of his party. The Chicago Tribune, ono of the most vigorous and unyielding of radical journals, has taken strong ground against it, declaring that it is entitled to no en? couragement, and that the Western people do not desire and will not tolerate it. The same tone pervades tho comments of nearly tue entire Republican press on the subject. Tho idea of vindictiveness and spoliation is repudiated as at variance with the policy and repugnant to the feelings of the North. This ground was taken while yet the decision of Congress ou tho reconstruction question was un? known; and assuredly it will not bo abandoned now that the work of re? construction has boen begun under j circumstances which promise satisfac ! tory results. - Wit.) is TO CojsTRoiiV-The New ' York Times, in answer to the queries of a Southern loyalist, asking it' he and such men as Botts, of Virginia, are not to have control in there-organiza? tion of tho Southern State Govern? ments, replies: Tho "absolute control"' of local governments in the Southern States must rest with tho people of those States-just as it does aud always must iu the North, and wherever else the principle of the popular government obtains at all. Not with part of the people, with any one class or party or condition, but with all the people-of all parties and of all conditions. Any government con? trolled otherwise is not a popular government. Auy government in tho South under the "absolute con? trol" of those only who wore loyal throughout tho war, would be an oligarchy, and would be in fiat and flagrant contradiction to every prin? ciple upon which our institutions are based. Any Stato Government in Virginia in which Mr. Botts, and those who acted with him through the rebellion, should alone be per? mitted to vote, would be oue of the worst and most odious oligarchies tho world ever saw. It could not last an hour without tho support of Federal bayonets; aud such sup? port would only add to the severity of its oppression and the odiousness of its character. Governments in this country must be of the people and for the people; and wi en we mako them anything else, wo aban? don tho only thing in which we diner from the nations of the old world. A GEORGIA FACTORY.-The Cuth? bert Appeal contains tho following about the factory at that point: The Cuthbert Factory, nuder the imm?diate supervision of Messrs. Hai'dee & Brown, is now runuiug as glibly as well adjusted and splendid machiuery can be made to run. Hun? dreds of spindhs aro daily turning out woolen and cotton threads by the quantity, and looms with dying shut? tles ave making cloths a prince might wear. Everything in the establish? ment looks business-like, from the quick step of tho "boss" to tho whir? ring wheels and floating bands about him. Receiving, weighing, packing, distributing, adjusting, carding, bat? ting, dyeing, spinning, warping, weaving and many additional ingsaie going on at one and the same time. Every lazy mau in the community j should, by all means, spend one hour there when the concern is in full ? blast. The engine which drives tho whole : vast collection of complicated ma i chinery is of forty-horse power, and for durability of construction and security against accident, surpasses anything ox tho kind we have else? where seen. In the arrangement of the entire establishment, it is evident that tho proprietors had an especial oyo to permanency, convenience and success. We wish you a bright fu? ture, gentlemen. Finally. Cuthbert] is awaking as if from a lethargic \ sleep. May the ball keep moving. COLORED VOTERS IN NEW YO UK. In a review of thc colored population of Now York, the? World states that there aro about 300 colored voters in that city. A negro that owns pro? perty to the amount ot' ?5250 or over, on which he pays tax, is entitled to vote. It is said those colored peoplo are not all Republicans, but many for years have steadily voted the De? mocratic ticket.

THE REMEDY IN RESERVE.-The profound impression produced by the great speech of Thaddeus Stevens, iu support of his confiscation bill, shows how readily and instantly the people would approve the severest legislation, if this were rendered necessary by tho continued or renewed obduracy of the authors of the rebellion. [Forney's < 'hronicle. The Appomattox (Va.) Baptist As? sociation, at its last meeting, took pretty much the same ground with the Memphis General Assembly. That is to say, it consented to license men of color, but refused, for the present-, to ordain person:; of this race.-Central Presbyterian.

In reply, I would state that I am tho individual alluded tc. as seizing tho i empty spirit barrels, some time ago.

Besides, I would remind a merchant, who said to mc ho considered it all 'right to swindle thu Government, that bis no? tions and mine differ, and I should be re? creant to official obligation, were I to leave that duty undone.
