,Tho Delusion of Confiscation.
Thaddeus Stevens has written an?
other lett?r on his favorite hobby of
confiscation. From tbds, as well as
his former lottors, wo learn that tho
object of his proposed system of
moderate confiscation is solely for the
benefit of those "Union" men who
lost property, during the war, by the
raids of the Confederates, or by con?
fiscation. Even the originator of
this delectable scheme, and tho leader
of the parry whioh, par excellence,
claims to be. the only organization
that embraces the true friends of the
emancipated negroes, ignores and
excludes that race from any antici?
pated benefits to accrue from tho
project. So far, then, as Stevens is
.-soncerned, he gives no encourage
. ment to the freedmen on this score.
The radical missionaries who havo
.visitedthe Southern States, Wilson,
Kelley and others, repudiated the
idea of confiscation, provided tho
people of these States carry out in
good faith the provisions of the re?
construction laws. Thero may be
impostors and minor emissaries of
the party who may endeavor to
insinuate into the minds of tue credu?
lous portion of the colored popula?
tion that, by separating their inte?
rests from those of the Southern
whites, and acting with the party in
the various elections to take place in
the South, thero will be some vaguo
prospect of their receiving home?
steads; but neither the leaders of the
party, their committees, nor their
press, have ever given authoritative
sanction for such worthless promises,
.made by the "bummers" of the party,
.often fof their own gain in tho way
of forced levies from the blacks, and
frequently receiving pay for worth?
less scrip, so-called, purporting to be
a valid title to forty acres of land,
when the general division of tho
r?bels' property takes place.
The freedmen should see iu those
systematic efforts to deludo them
into the support of a political party,
that really its manipulators have no
interest in their wei jaro, further than
to stir up strife and such a division
'among Southern voters, white and
black, as will inure to their benefit
by retaining thom in power. We
have the most solemn public declara?
tions from the acknowledged leaders
of the party, that if the laws' are
faithfully complied with, and the
Southern people thus far carry out
the programme of the dominant
party, there will be no confiscation.
We cannot see, therefore, whut the
colored people are to gain by going
headlong into politics and adopting
party platforms, without examination
and due consideration of the results
of their action in the promises.
Another fact should be noted by
those who aro likely to bo deceived
by the illusory promises we refer to,
that the demands of the extremists,
and even the sentiments and lan?
guage indulged in by some of their
speakers and writer?, are producing
already a re-action in the public
mind of the North, and is ominous
for a long continuance in power bj'
that wing of the Republican party.
Oar newly-made voters ought to re?
flect on these points, which we have
briefly alluded to, and particularly
ought they to remember that, while
some may promise to them practical
benefits from tho success of the
party, its prominent leaders tell tho
whites their property will not bo dis?
turbed, if the work of reconstruc?
tion should bo perfected. There are
bot few, we believe, in this State who
have been deceived by this delusion;
but it may bo advisable to bring tho
moro prominent points to the atten?
tion of any who may have not given
the matter due consideration.
ConN COMING TO CHARLESTON.
The New York Southern Famine Re?
lief Commission, in acknowledging a
furthor contribution of $3,194 in gold
from California, state that tho United
States store-ship Purveyor, J. H.
Simpson, commander, was to sail for
Charleston, Savannah and Mobile,
with 29,000 bushels of corn, on Tues?
day, the 4th inst.
Rov. Robert Moffat, tho well-known
missionary of South Africa, has been,
with his devoted wife, in that field
forty years. Ho is now engaged in
bringing out a carefully revised edi?
tion of tho New Testament in tho
native tongue, and readers, he says,
are inoreasing on ever;- sido. Mr.
Moffat is tho father-in-law of the
lamented Dr. Livingstone.
? tilting; Off In tUe Revenue.
The New York Harald, of Sunday,
publishes a list pf the taxes assessed
on manufactures and prcductious for
Marok and April, in nearly all the
districts iu Now York, and in a por?
tion of Massachusetts, Connecticut,
Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, Now
Jersey and Maryland. For tho two
months named, in tho districts cited,
last year, the revenue was nearly
$13,000,000; this year, only between
$7,000,000 and $8,000,000-showing
a full off of over forty per cent.
This, the Herald intimates, is the
result of tho new tax law, which
went into operation in March; and
although tho list is only partial, yet
tho uniformity iu the decreaso is suf?
ficient evidence that the same condi?
tion of affairs exist throughout the
country, and justifies tho estimate
that the aggregate decreaso will be at
the rate above mentioned-making
the total decrease in the revenue
from internal taxation, as compared
with last year, $125,000,000. Tho
Secretary of the Treasury, taking
into cousideration tho reduction in
the revenue, from the chauges iu the
law, only estimated it at $40,000,000
-about one-third of what it will
really be.
Whatever may be the depressing
effects of such an exhibit at home, it
will doubtless bo still moro disas?
trously felt on our finances abroad.
On this point, the Herald says:
"When these facts arc known in
Europe, our stocks and securities will
go down; aud it will not bo the fault
of tho Secretary or of Congress if wo
do not have a terrible panic all over
the country. And what have they
gained by bringing ad this financial
trouble upon the country? Six nig?
gers in Congress, and perhaps a nig?
ger on tho ticket for Vico-Presidant
in tho next Presidential election, ac?
cording to tho programme of their
pioneer, Wendell Phillips. The poo
plo will soon ask tho question whe?
ther six good, fat niggers, fit for
members of Congress, are worth what
they will cost-$500,000,000 npiece?"
This is written in tho Herald's pe?
culiar and extravagant style, yet the
actual faots exhibited are sufficient to
or?ate alarm iu the business commu?
nities of the Atlantic cities of the
North, aud it is almost certain that a
financial panic must ensue, and that
the provisions of the bankrupt law
will be extensively availed of by the
I falling mercantile houses in every
commercial centre in the country.
The expenses of the Government will
be largely increased this year, in
maintaining tho Freedmen's Bureau,
in the support of the appliances ne?
cessary to carry " reconstruc-I
tiou law in the SontL nd tho expend?
itures of the army . suppress the
Indian troubles. The financial pros?
pect of the country is not very en?
couraging.
HtnsE THIEF ARRESTED.-Another
one of tho clau ot horse thieves,
Johu Bryant, who has been commit?
ting depredations in this and the
lower District, was arrested, last
Sunday, in Hurry, by Capt. M. li.
Stanly and Mr. N. B. Goddard, and
lodged in jail at this place. Two
mules were found in the possession
of Bryant, answering thc description
of those stolen from Messrs. Laud
& Parker, near Gourdine's Depot,
and advertised in the Charleston
Daily News, of tho 30th of May.
We hope the arrest of Bryant, will
lead to an exposure of all parties
connected with this unlawful traffic
which has been carried on so suc?
cessfully between North aud South
Carolina, for the last two years.
Some important information has
already beeu made known, which we
doem prudent to keep from tho
public at present.-Marion Star.
SCFFERIXO IS MARION.-The Ma?
rion Star says:
Tho destitution in our section at
this time is somewhat alarming. The
term does not refer to the poorest of
our citizens merely, but to many who
have never known what want was,
who, with tho blessings of a smiling
Providonce, will have ample means
when their crop is harvested. But at
present thoy have not the money to
purchase provisions and their planta?
tion necessaries to enable them to
carry on their farms, aud, unless aid
can be obtained from somo quarter,
tho probability is that a portion of
the crop already planted, and looking
so promising, will have to bo aban
I doned.
A SAD ACCIDENT.-We are pained
to record the death of our lato esti?
mable friend, Thomas Hill, a native
of this District, who recently went
to Mississippi ou a visit, and whilo
out hunting, was shot by the acci?
dental disoharge of his gun. Wo
know Mr. Hill personally, and can
say Spartanburg had no better citi?
zen.-Spartanburg Spartan.
A thief, in Philadelphia, with tho
doteotive on hie track, threw $5,000
worth of diamonds in tho Delaware
Piiver.
. THE 0OOD Trans COMINO.-The
New York Commercial, a Republican
paper, don't like the radical develop?
ments South, and thus rails. As
Southern members are to bo received
in Congress only after "decisive and
trustworthy majorities"-so reads
Boutwell and the Republican sec?
tional address-it says:
Tho question to be dotermiued is,
whether ambitious and unprincipled
radical leaders will be allowed, as they
have done for four years, to delude,
mislead and demoralize the Repub?
lican party? How long and how
much will that pnrty endure? Even
before Congress adjourned, members
grew restless. They manifestly felt
that they had eaten dirt long enough.
Symptoms of revolt manifested them?
selves in the House and in the Senate.
This condition of vassalage canuot
lost. Slavery, though abolished in
one form, exists iu another, and is
becoming unendurable. There is,
however, a way out. Time will open
up to the people an avenue through
which they eau escape. And for that
escape the country will be indebted
to the butter and wiser element within
the Republican pnrty. The day is
not distant when tho ears and eyes of
a long-abused party will hear and see.
Meantime, let us watch and wait.
A MOVE IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.
Several young men of this city en?
tered upon the duties of cotton
markers und menders yesterday.
They have determined to put their
shoulders to the wheel, and tho pre?
sent movement is only the initiative.
This business has long been confined
to persons who, though attentive and
eflioieut, could never rise, and they
can easily find employment in some
other vocation. There are at pre?
sent a number of young men in this
city who are out of employment, and
by devoting themselves to this busi?
ness, they will not only bo making
some money, but will be acquiring a
knowiedgo of the cotton business,
which may ultimately prove of great
advantage to thom.
[Charleston 2feu?s, 5th.

find in our Western exchanges, shows

in North Carolina and Eastern Geor?
gia. Ex-Governor Boutwell was to
speak yesterday and to-day in the
Shenandoah Valley. John W. Lang?
ston, tho negro lawyer from Ober?
lin, left for au extended tour through
the South.
FRASEE, TEENHOLM SZ Co.-The
New York correspondent of the Phi?
ladelphia Ledger says:
It is reported in Wallstreet to-day,
(Saturday,) and on good authority,
that Messrs. Fraser, Trenholm & Co.

the pound promptly, and 5s. ou short

THE OBOPS.--The delightful wea?
ther of the last fortnight lias signally
assisted the growth of vegetation.
Under its influence, tho cotton plant
has nearly recovered from the ill
effects of the very cool nights which
sometime since prevailed. Corn gene?
rally looks .well, but we aro afraid
that there is' not quito enough plant?
ed, yet the yield of wheat and oats,
we hopo, will atone this time for any
deflcienoy in that crop. Tho cat
crop is a considcrablo ono, and looks
very fino, while tho whent (the farm?
ers will bb hard at work gathering it
this and next week) bends its count?
less millions of heads to tho breeze,
telling ns thereby that they are full.
We have beard some little said about
"rust," but do not apprehend much
danger from that source.
[Newberry Herald.
It is uot, missing the fact far, wo
think, to say that this year thero is
nj}der cultivation iu Fairfield District
two acres of cotton for every one of
corn. Pity it was not the reverse.
Tho wheat crop is soon to bo ga?
thered, and it is a splendid oue, to all
npi^arauce. Put, in the abseuco of
enough corn to "run" the farms until
the next corn harvest, the wheat for
bread will be but a moderate crop, aa
thc stock will very likely be fed upon
the greater part of it.
