Tho Congress of the United/States,
5n its desire to pince obstructions io
tho recuperation and prosperity of
the Southern States, imposed n heavy
tax on tho production of ita principal
staple-cotton, overlooking, or not
caring for tho .fact, that in doing so,
thoy, at tho same time, oppressed tho
labor of tho Sonth-of tho very class
they have always* professed to foster
and protect. They also overlooked
another fact in their legislation-that
it largely contributed to tho efforts
now being made in other countries
to promote and increase the cultiva?
tion of tho great Southern staple.
In striking contrast with this sui?
cidal policy, we note the steps takeu
by tho Sultan to increase the growth
of cotton in the Ottoman Empire.
Ho has appointed competont and ju?
dicious officers to carry into effect
the measures he has devised for the
purpose. One of these is to make
grants of uncultivated lands, belong?
ing to tho State, rent free, if used as
cotton plantations. These lands are
to bo exempt, for five years, from all
taxes, and all implements and ma?
chinery roquired fior the cultivation,
aro to be admitted, free of duty as is
also American cotton seed, many
hundred tons of which have already
been distributed throughout tho em?
pire, and tho cotton grower lins real?
ized remunerating prices.
Does not this present a striking
contrast with the Congressional poli?
cy as regards what, if-properly fos ?
tered and encouraged, must become,
os it has been in the past, the chief
staplo of export, and consequently
tho principal basis of foreign com?
mercial exchanges? Why is it in
this stato of affairs, with every coun?
try at all adapted to its cultivation,
using such strenuous efforts to pro
lnote it, that tho professed frieuds of
liberty oppress the production of
cotton in this country by loading it
with taxation? This ie a deplorable
policy, as for as it goes, but it is not
alL Under tho specious plea of
."protection," cotton manufactured
goods aro kept up to a high price,
and which could be imported much
cheaper than tho horne articlo; while,
in addition to all this, tho rivalry is
still further stimulated by the fact
that tho Northern manufacturer re?
ceives back thc tax on the raw mate?
rial-a tax which tho foreign manu?
facturer has to pay on all cotton im?
ported from this country.
Party spirit, in tho wantonness of
its domination and power, has done
man}' unwise and very foolish things,
but in nothing has it acted more fool?
ishly, more ruinously to tho best in?
terests of the country, thim in clog?
ging with heavy burdens the produc?
tion of cotton. We hope it is true
that Senator Wade, as reported, is in
favor of repealing tho tax upon the
stnplo, and that lie will bo able to
convince the followers of his party of
thc wisdom, if not tho necessity, of
.such a .step.

REGISTRATION IN THIS STATE.-Ac?
cording to a table made up by the
Charleston Mercury, the registration
in this State, thus far, foots up:
Whites 18,309; blacks 12,532-ma?
jority for the colored population,
20,133. Th's result will not bo ma?
terially changed by the second visita
of thc registrars.
SENSATION AMONO GOJ*D SrsouiiA
TOUS.-Thc scamps of tho Now York
Gold Board, on Thursday, were
much excited by a rumor that Gen.
Grant and tho President had had a
quarrel, and that the General called
thc President "a traitor to his face."
"Gold ran up." Of courso this was
a trick of %the bulls, and they made
by it. But it is possible that the noxt
day tho bears profited by an equally
unfounded story.
CALIFORNIA TO TUE PRESIDENT.
At 10 o'clock, Friday night, tho Prc
sident received tho following de
spatoh, dated San Francisco, Sop
temberG: ;
"Wo have carried tho State by
10,000, electing our wholo ticket, two
members of Congress and a majority
of tho Legislature This is purely a
triumph of tho policy of your admi?
nistration, condemning distinctly
Congressional reconstruction and
negro suffrage, North or South.
"JAMES H. HENLEY,
"JOHN F. MCCAULEY."
The Trae Relations Between the
Unces.
Hon. A. G/. Brown* formerly tented
S?ates Sector from Mississippi, ?
c?ntly made a speech before a large
mass meeting of whites'(ind blacks.
Tho main foftturfes of hit address aire
pretty much tho saule as those of
Gov.. Orr and others who have ad?
dressed similar meetings within tho
past few mouths. Of the relations
that should exist between tho twp
races, Gov. Brown said:
? ? "Mon make mon equal before the
law-that is, tliey confer-on them,
equal civil and political rights-^bu't
they cannot mako them of equal sta?
ture, of equal wisdom, or of tho
same color. No moro can "tlrey'inuke
them socially equal Social equality
depends on agreement. Tho laws
cannot enforce lt. I am no mon's,
equal, socially, unless'h? agrees to
the equality. No man has u right to
demand against my consent; and this'
rule is universal and all-pervading
among mon. Your race is no excep?
tion to the rule. The honest, indus-'
trions and frugal among you do not
admit to social equality the disho?
nest, idle and wasteful of your own
color, nor do white people. Social
equality is simply a matter of private
agreement, and. is not to bs con?
trolled by any public law. When?
ever the black people desire social
equality, and the white people agree
to yield it, we shall have it, and not
before. It tukes two to make a bar?
gain, and I risk nothing in saying
that neither whites nor blacks in tho
South j Want to mako this bargain
now. I have but one idea to add. It
is this: There will be social equality
in the South between tho races quite
as soon as thc same thing occurs at
the North; for I happen to know
that the Southern people have a
much higher appreciation of tho
black man's honor and . 1 nracter
than the Northern people have."
THE DONATION FOB LANCASTER.-It
was slated in the Phonix, some time
ago, that a draft for Sl,000 in gold,
contributed to the poor of his District,
by a native of Lancaster now ' in
Paris, hod been lying uncalled for,
at the Executive Office. Mr. Mittag? '
Intendant of Lancaster, makes the
followiug explanation of tho matter:
"It may seem strange to the people
o-f tho North, to whom. I have made
appeals for the reliof of our suffering,
that tho above-mentioned fund, for
tho use of the distressed, should have
been lying at that time in tho Execu--.
tivo Office.
"After Governor Orr had publish?
ed his appointment of a committee
in the District, a call was made,
through our village paper, for their
names, to which no answer was made.
From this fact, and that it was rn
mored that the committee were not
disposed to take charge of the fund,
but were in a state of indecision; aud
further, if they did, that it might
not be distributed among tho poor,
but be used to erect a poor house, I
concluded that our ou?y chance for
relief would bo by. appeals to tho
North, which I accordingly made."
?'-? ? ?
Tho Brazilian Parliament proposes
to extinguish tho national debt by
ineans of lotteries.
The United States could afford to
inaugurate a similar process on a
magnificent scalo for the same pur?
pose.
Wendell Phillips has heard, or says
[io has heard, that President John
?on means to resist if Congress ut
Lompts to impeach and depose him;
ilso, that open warfare is not im?
probable; also that tho recent
proclamation is only a blind to cover
these movements. Hence tho howls
iud invites "press, pulpit and popu?
lar conventions" to join in the shriek
that he bo impeached.
- ? ? ? ?
Tho Cuba cable, it is announced,
is now nearly completed, notwith?
standing tho disheartening and al?
most constantly recurring obstacles
Df storm and disease. No despatches
aro received from Havana as ^pet,
owing to the interference of Captain
General Manzano, who, probably on
account of tho unsettled state of
political mattera in Cnba, has pro?
hibited tho transmission of news and
despatches for the present.
SUDDEN DEATH.-Mr. Alexander S.
Martin, of Rockingham County, N.
C., was killed on Sunday last, near
Lester's Faotory, by the fall of a
dend tree while ho was driving his
wagon. Mr. Martin left this placo
on Saturday beforo tho day the sad
occurrence happened, with two to?
bacco wagons, on his way to Green?
ville.-Spartariburg Spartan.
Tho Princo of Wales, whoso fond?
ness of Paris makes Englishmen
grumble, received a severo "snub"
at La Mabillo, tho other evoning,
from Teresn, ono of the queens of
the can-can. On being informed who
was tho object of her rebuke, sho
remarked: "If ho is indeed a Prince,
so much tho moro reason why he I
should Lo taught to behavo iii uv
self."
Reconstruction-Will .It Ever Cornel
About (our years weraexpeuded iu
the effort to compel the people of tho
So*ithf by force^ of arma,, to remain
in tho; Union. *At tho ond of that
period* exhausted, ruined and beaten,
tho Confederates laid ? down -their
arms, and accepted the terms of their
conquerors. Since t?int, timo, nearly
two years and a half have elapsed,
and from present appearances, those'
States are no nearer the.Union than
on tho day when the last gun was
fired. The party in power have not
had the will or the wisdom; to forni h.
practicable plan by which the origi?
nal design of ' the war-which-traiT
the restoration of the Union-could
be brought about. They have tin?
kered uud tri il uil with the subject
until they have given serious canso
for the belief that they aro better pu-,
tisfied that the South should be out '
of the Union than in it, at leant
until aftor the next Presidential e?ec-!
tion, in which they hope and expect'
to obtain another four years' lease of
power. Certainly, the process of
reconstruction could havo beea our?
ried to a successful result in much
less time than has already beeb con?
sumed, and at a fraction of the ex?
pense that has been incurred. There
.was no occasion and no reasonable
pretext for delny. Every necessary
or unnecessary condition which the
victors .thought proper, to impose,
might have been applied, and the.
States returned to their places within
six months of the termination of
hostilities. There was nothing to
preven! it, and it . WAS n result uni
versally desired. Bot tho subject
was too great for the shallow dema?
gogues into whose hands tho reins o '
power had unfortunately fallen, nun
tho consequence . is that in the third
year Of peace we find the country
dissevered, tho future full of doubt
and uncertainty, the prosperity of
every section of the country checked,
? financial crisis looming np, and in?
numerable evils threatened. And all
this that a corrupt party, controlled
by men still more unworthy and cor?
rupt, may administer oar national
affairs.
Is it possible that the great mass of
the American people ever reflectupon
this state of things, and that they
are satisfied with them? ? It would
seem incredible. ' ? We incline to thp
opinion that in the North passion
has obsoured the judgments of the
people, and that they believe that all
tho evils which affliofc them-the
high price of living and the crushing
weight, of taxation-are tho legiti?
mate consequences of the war, when,
if they would cast their prejudices
aside, they would see that much of
what they attribute to this* cause
might have been avoided by a judi?
cious administration of tho Govern?
ment since tho close of tho war.
If tho Union had been promptly
restored, as every ona believed it
would be, and ns every one knew
that it ought to be, confidence would
have boen inspired, trade? would have
resumed its wonted courses, industry
would havo been stimulated, capital
which has lain dormant would havo
been invested, and the general pros?
perity of tao nation would have re?
ceived a tremendous impulse, which
would have placed us beyond tho
reach of the contingencies and
dangers which now impend. -Tho
capital and labor which the South has
so much needed would have poured
in upon her and repaired the wastes
and devastations of the war; her pro?
ducts would have been multiplied,
her wealth increased, her ability to
pay her proportionate share of taxa?
tion extended, and the ratio of taxa?
tion upon both sections would have
been reduced. .
Wc cannot believe that the people
will much longer tolerate this inex?
cusable trifling and stupidity. Re?
action must come, and, we think,
cannot long be deferred. The popu?
lar voice will soon be raised, and will
bu given forth in such terms as will
not fail to make themselves under?
stood. -Louis v Hie Co wrier.
Tho Secretary of tho Treasury will
show, in his next report, that over
8120,000,000 of our public debt was
paid' during tho fiscal year ending
June 30. In the recent monthly
statement of tho debt, there was an
error, for once on the right side-the
entire outstanding debt, less cash in
the Treasuay, is32,492,783.3G5.U5, or
$12,072,730 less than stated.
The French Minister of War offi?
cially states that tho recent Salzburg
conference was nothing more than a
meeting of coudolenco over the fate
pf Maximilian. Thcro was some con?
versation on political affairs, but no
alliances or combinations were
planned.

1 Tho Democratic victory ia Califor?
nia is a protest against the nigger su
preniaoy policy of the radicals j tho
protest of, a practical, enorgetie and
never' oVer-couservativo comrnuuity
against 'tee.Wild theories nnd extra?
vagant- purposes that, by keepiug
the country at the fever heat of dis?
turbance! are paralyzing trade. Wo
may acknowledge, in tho broadest
terms, that there were causes -within
the Republican organization in tho
Pacific States, that weakened it. Ee
imblmah voters, iw California, as in
Connecticut, some time ago, wera
disgusted with the conduct of their
leaders,' nnd-retn'ftlned away from, the
polls: T1H?9 the' vdto was reduced,
and this reduced vote was divided on
different candidates. But these causes
only .gave a'greater field lethe rising
.wave, for the-Democrats would pro?
bably have seenred a substantial vic?
tory without 'them.. There is, how?
ever, just enough in this view of the
result-in this argument of .tho re?
duction and division of tho Repnbli
"oan vote-to serve for the UB? of ra?
dical leaders in the Atlantic and
Mississippi Valley States. It viii
servo them to explain away the
event-to prevent their voters from
rightly understanding a lesson that
would imperil-the power of the radi?
cal party. But tho lesson is all tho
same fot the country at large, for
i that large part of the people that is
not to bo deluded by the declamation
of political spoutors. It is tho dis?
tinct declaration of tho apprehension
of the people of the .Pacific slope
.that the tendencies of the dominant
.nnrty are dangerous, and their pur
p. so that it shall no longer be trusted
With the destinies of tho country.
California has a population of vigor?
ous, bold, thinking people. Her ci?
tizens bear tho same relation to the
Atlantic States that the pe^plo of
these States at ono time boro to
Europe, and aro made bp of the ad
Venturous, clear-sighted, intelligent
men of all our Atlantic communities
who sought in the new State an am?
pler field for an enterprising spirit
than they could find at Lome. Such
a population is seldom conservative,
and when it utters its political pro?
test against party extravagance, we
may be sure that the whole nation is
alive to the danger.
[New York Herald.
ALMOST A RIOT-THE Mon--A
large crowd of whites and blacks as?
sembled in front of tho hall, yester?
day evening, to hear the addresses of
several colored conservativo speakers
-particularly Williame and Holmes,
from Tennessee. Many of tho.
"League" negroes iu the city did not
relish the idea of one of their race
speaking on the other side, and threats
were made by sorao of them that
Williams should not be allowed to
deliver hi3 address. In view of these
threats and the indignities offered
these colored conservatives on tho
street corners by runners and bum?
mers of the despicable League, the
military were on hand, in addition to
the city- police, to protect the free?
dom of speech. We noticed, in close
proximity to tho speaker, Col. Crit?
tenden, PoHt Commander, aud seve?
ral other .Federal officers, together
with tho Mayor of tho city.
The colored orator made a speech
of about ono hour's length,* giving
his own experience as a Union sol?
dier, and closed by advising his
colored brothers to trust to the peo?
ple of the South, their former mas?
ters, as their best friends, and for
each and all of them to have nothing
whatever to do with the league. His
speech was eminently conservativo
throughout, and ' if his colored
friends will heed his admonitions,
they will be wiser. He was followed
by Holmes, Gcorgo Williams, Wado
Potter and other colored speakers.
Before the conclusion of tho meet?
ing, a large number of negroes had
assembled, who testified their disap?
probation to free speech by jeers,
loud yells, Acc. ; and whon Williams,
of Tennessee, attempted to quietly
retire, at the close, a number of ne?
groes crowded around tho cab in
which ho was leaving, and threat?
ened to pull him ont; whereupon a
Federal officer ordered up a detach?
ment of cavalry, who dispersed the
noisy and unlawful rabblo in double
quick time. The cavalry ordered tho
crowd to disperse, which was obeyed
by tho negroes at a run. Had it not
been for the prompt and efficient
interference of the cavalry, somebody
might havo been hurt. This attempt
to intimidate and suppress free speech
on the part of the league should be
nipped in the bud; and we are glad
to know that the Federal army officers
in our midst are determined to up?
hold this great right.

TriE COTTON CROP.-Wo learn from
several planters in the Eastern por?
tion of this District, and other Dis?
tricts adjoiuing, that the continuous
rains for the past six or eight weeks
have damaged severely the cotton
crops-to tho extent of one-third or
one-half of tho anticipated yield.
At the present writing, the rains still
continue, without any prospect of a
favorable change Tho loss wifi be a
very severe one, both upon the-plant
ers and their laborers.
