Thc AppefU to the Supreme Coori.
The Rick moud Times-on? of tko
few jourunls wkicli is persistently
Southern in its views-lins an article
on tko oases brought before tko
Supremo Court by tko States of Mis?
sissippi and Goorgi:v. It says, as wo
have frequently said in tkeso co?
lumns, tkat tko only effect of a deci?
sion in our favor would be, to tkrow us
back upon tke Fortieth Congress,
whick is moro largely and intensely
radical tkau any of its predecessors.
The Times, tkcrefore, adkeros to tke
opinion tkat it is idlo to look to tke
Supreme Court for any actual relief.
Our duty is to bring tdl tko political
power whick wo possess undor the
Sherman bill to bear on the ballot
box, and, to tkis end, every white
man in tho State, as we have reite?
rated in the Pheoni x, wko is entitled,
under tkat bill, to a vote, skould re?
gister as soon as tko opportunity is
presented, and, by a united and uni?
versal effort, extricate tke State from
tko threatening embarrassments of
her situation. Tke idea, which is
sometimes expressed by unreflecting
and excited mon, that it is degrading
to vote, and, therefore, tkey will not
do it, because negroes are awarded
tke some privilege, is about as pre?
posterous as it would bo for a drown?
ing man to refuse to lay bold of one
end of tko first piece of drift-wood
tkat is floating by kim, because n ne?
gro kas kold of tko otker.
Tkis journal has taken its position
in relation to this matter-a position
tkat is dictated by every argument
wkick could bo brougkt forward by
reasonable men. As a business gen
tlemau told us yesterday morning,
let us get back to tko Union in tke
easiest way. Wo are gratified to
learn, by private letters, and by con?
stant interchange of opinions with
prominent and leading men-think?
ing mon-of the State, that our views
in relatiou to reconstruction arc re?
garded with much favor. In truth,
whatever may bo thc result of tho ap?
plications now being made to the
Supreme Court, tho only hope foi
tho South is by a prompt and cheer?
ful compliance with thc laws of Con?
gress.

Governor Orr, in speaking of thc
possible ascendauey of the negroes
in certain of the Southern States, by
reason of their numerical majority,
said that, in any event, they would
soon lose this power, for there will bc
an immigration of whiles, but there
can be no immigration of negroes.
Tho New York Times, in comment
iug upon this sentence, says that,
leaving out of view all other consi?
derations, it certaiuly furnishes a con?
clusive argumeut against tho attempt!
to excite antagonism between thc
races in the Soutk. It says, truly,
tkat tho Southern blacks are a verj
prolific pooplo-at least, haye beer
so wkile iu a state of slavery; but ic
no Soutkeru State, and, probably, it
no district, will tkey be able to retah
political power, through a num?rica
majority, alter tho tide of em igra t io 1
is turned Southward, as the Time?
says it surely will be, before main
years. Wo quote ono sontence fron:
tho Times, wkick deserves peculiai
prominence. It is tkis:
"As a peaceful and laborious pan
of tke population of tho South, guar
autoed theil* rigkts by law, they rna}
live and flourish until tho end of time
but as the enemies of the dominant ant
predominating white race, lhere is no
thing in thc future for them hut st rug
gling and true and ultimate destruction. '
We have italicised tho last sen
tence, because it conveys very larg?
truths in a small space, and we com
mend it to the consideration of on
colored people.

CORN.-lu its commercial column
the .Louisville Courier, of a rocen
date, speaking of corn, makes th
following very timely and judieiou
remarks in regard to it:
"These extremo high rates of cori
ought greatly to stimulate tho pro
duction, us it is an undisputed fae
that corn at 81 per bushel ia the mos
lucrative crop ever grown by th
farmer. It requires less real man un
labor, or actual expense, trouble o
risk than any other crop, and our ad
vico now to North as well as South i
to grow corn. Tko past, cr rathe
tho present, crop has been repeatedly
. stated to bo tko largest over reaped ii
tko country; yet to-day a bushel o
corn, oven iu thia market, whick i
now tko cheapest, cannot bo pur
ckased for less than 81.05 per bushel
including the sacks."
-J_14_iiy^np-? ?III -
Agricultural Protpccli Smith.
The iSfcw York Commercial, a very,
observing and well conducted paper,
publia 1 ios upwards of twi> oolumns ot.
reports,?} from different ? localities
North mid South, all of which, with
but n few exceptions, uuito iu repre?
senting tho prospect as being most
encouraging, both fur cereals and
fruits. In tho Nbrth-western States,
tho prospect for wheat was nevor
better, and the yield will bo very
large, os tho aren devoted to this
cereal has boen largely increased.
Tho reports from the Southern
States, according to tho Commercial,
ore encouraging. Considerable more
territory seems to have been devoted
to seod last fall than is generally sup?
posed. A Chattanooga paper asserts
that there will bo moro wheat har?
vested in East Tennessee} than during
any previous year. Prospects were
never better in Virginia, as well as ia
Georgia and Mississippi. Though
there is suffering now, tho prospect is
that the South will have abundance
of food as soon as the harvest is
gathered. But, during the making
of these crops, the people here will
require large contributions of provi?
sions and breadstuff's, to prevent
actual waut and starvation. Let us
live in hope.
THE CONGRESSIONAL! AFPBOPBIA
TTON.-A despatch from Washington
says:
The Secretary of War has issued a
circular to the agents of the Freed?
men's Bureau giving directions as to
the distribution of tho special relief
fund, as provided by joint resolution
of Congress, approved March 30,
1867.
The Assistant Commissioners are
directed to soe that none but thc very
destitute receive relief, which is to
consist of ono bushel of com and
eight pounds of meat per month for
each adult person, and one-half the
above amount of com and meat for
ench child between one and fourteen
years of age, and this issue of food
will bo discontinued as soon as early
vegetables and fruits shall bo grown.
It is further directed that Assistant
Commissioners appoint additional
local agents whenever absolutely ne?
cessary, for tho special purpose of
issuing these supplies, to whom the
oath of loyalty prescribed by tho Act
of Congress, approved July 2, 1HG2,
will be administered, and un one who
caunot subscribe to the same shall re?
ceive such appoiutment.
LOOK OCT FOU HIM.-The burglar,
Thompson, ngaiust whom a warrant
was issued last week (on Tuesday)
for breaking into tho store of Messrs.
T. A. Jeffords A- Co., has not yet
been caught. He was pursued until
midnight of tho sumo day, but
escaped. His house wns searched
and goods were fouud therein which
connect him with the burglaries com?
mitted previously on the railroad
depot aud the store of Messrs. Eze?
kiel AYKohn. Articles were recovered
which had been taken from both of
these places, as well as from the cars,
! which were standing at tho depot uu
I loaded. One of the keys belonging
to the railroad cars (which aro pecu?
liar) was also found.
As tho laws of the State allow any
one to arrest a felon, wo hope he will
be picked up somewhere in the coun?
try and bo committed to the safe?
keeping of the sheriff.
We give the following description
of him: Thompson is a mulatto,
about five feet soveu inches in height,
.'.tout built, one eye destroyed by
small pox, and his face somewhat
pitted from thc same disease.

Our supply of typo and facilities of

WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH THE
POMS?-Tho Chester Standard, of
Thursday, has the following queer
paragraph. We wonder what it
means:
"The United States'flag was raised
at the post headquarters on the first
of Muy. We have not heard of any
particular display or ceremony con?
nected with tue raising, but the old
flag weut np so easily and with so
little noise, that the citizens did not
even know of its elevation. Most
people nro a little shy of going near
the high pole from which it floats,
for reasons not necessary here to
state."
What is the matter with the high
pole? Does it attract lightning in a
peculiar manner, that people aro so
shy of going near it, or is it the first
high pole that has been erected in
Chester? Wo hope our cotemporary
will explain, for although ho may
have reasons not necessary to explain
to his own people, we do not. com?
prehend them down here.

TBK FEININOERS' FAREWELL. CON?
CERT.-Wc should esteem ou rael vc?
happy, that, owing to tho accident of
not being able to havo tho Hibernian^
Hall, in Charleston, becnu.se ol AMSM\
previous engagement by others, iura
nt the urgent solicitation >of mnu^
personnl friends aud of many who
had neglected to attond their first
concert, the brother and sister Fei
ninger consented to gratify us, last
nig it, with another musical treat,
quite as recherche and brilliant ns that
of a week ago. Did wo enter moro
into detail-which our want of Bpaco.
forbids-wo could but repeat in
general, what we then snid in moro
special, terms-their second perform?
ance only confirming us in the justice
of our first critique; it would, be?
sides, be nn useless gildiug of refined
gold and au impertinent painting of
the lily to add thereto. Both Herr
Carl Feininger and Frnculein Ga?
briella Feininger were received by the
audience with all empressement; and
the grace aud ease of their manner
left, as on the former occasion, no?
thing to be desired. The selection of
pieces and of composers was excel?
lent, and so made os to meet all
tastes. Mr. Hart Denck accompa?
nied, with eclat, the Feiningers.
In conclusion, we will make ons
remark-and that an unpleasant ono,
so far os Columbia is concerned; still,
duty being 1/?///, we make it; and it is
this: that it is highly unfortunate for
us that our enjoyment of concerts,
and, in effect, of nil other entertain?
ments, should be pitilessly marred
by that peculiar species of applause,
a la gamin, which consists in shriek?
ing like Znharan hyenas, and stamp?
ing with the feet like Norman horses;
a demonstration hardly to be con?
strued as flattering by the performers
and puzzling to those who go
thither to listen in comfort, to de?
cide whether they bc, after all, iu a
concert hall, and not in nn Eastern
desert or in n monster livery stablo.
The presence of a policeman in our
halls on like occasions could but have
a marked and salutary effect-pro?
vided ho were allowed to take bia
authority along with him-Diximus.
