^GOLTJMBIA. ..Saturrlay Morning;, Nov. 16,1867. A Model Vlce-Pnutdent. j A correspondent of tho Cincinnati Commercial has had a day's interview with Bon. Wade, tho acting Vice president of the United States. Tho ?or resp on du nt professes to set. forth tho views of -this distinguished per? sonage in relation to the Ohio eleo tion and other topics growing ont of it. He details in full tho political ideas of Mr. "Wade, ns expressed in .his own choice language. Tho fol? lowing extracts are specimens of tho 3tylo of the man who now fills the second.office in the republic. Ref er? ring to the Ohio election;, tho corres? pondent asks him : "Well, old gentleman, how do you like it as far ns you've got?" To "whioh Mr. Wade roplies: ,**It's the fate of war. We're d-d badly ^whipped; but it can't be helped. We must get ready for anothor round at om. Df the defeat of the suffrage .amendment, he says: "I'll be for keeping it up until we do win; for, by the Eternal God, they can't bent as all the time on a question like that. * * * I won't back a d-d inch." Referring to weak-kneed radicals: * 'Hell's full of such radicals as we have now. There'll be the damndest craw-fishing you ever saw from this time forward." In reply to a question whether Mr. Lincoln left little or no property be? hind, he said: "It's a d-d lie. Mrs. Lincoln was very well off, and didn't noed even what she got ($25,000) from Con? gress. She took u hundred boxes of something or other-I don't know what-away with her, and the Com? missioner of Public Buildings swore there were fifteen other boxes that she wanted to carry off, and he had to interfere to prevent her. At any rate, she cleaned out the White House. I didn't know but she was going to run a big hotel with all she o arri ed ott" His opinion of Stevens' confisca? tion bill: "A piece of d-d foolery." In regard to impeachment: "What thc devil has un election in Ohio to do with the matter?" Ho would like to know whether Grant was "for Johnson or for Congress, or what the devil he was for." "When he (Wade) endeavored to elicit from Grant his political views, he turned the conversation to horses !" "Con? servative devils," is the complimen? tary phrase Mr. Wade applies to those who cannot "jump forwards," as far os himself. "We'll give thom (the Southern States) a Republican form of Government, in spite of thc devil and all his agents, i ucl nd in g Andy Johnsop." We extract the above profane ut terances for the purpose of exhibit ing to our readers the utter demoral ization which is sweeping over thc politicians of the present day. Talk ing of impeachment, we would sug gest to the House of Representatives to investigate and inquire into tin truth of the allegations thus made and if found to be true, impend and dethrone this individual, wh< hos disgraced, not only the higl office he fills, but has brought a staii npon tho reputation of tho country If this cannot be done, let the party one of whose leaders he is, put i prohibitory plank in their platforn against profanity. Tr/E CONVENTION ADDRESS. -Thi Atlanta Intelligencer, spanking of thi address put forth by tho Con servative Convontion, in Columbia concludes os follows: The recent elections in the Nortl and West inspire us with confhlonc that theso appeals will not bo disre garded-that they will not fall upoi the ears and hearts of tho white race inhabiting those sections of tho Am? rican Republic, as rains upon th sandy deserts, to bo absorbed, yield ing no sign thereafter of Nature' beneficence to man. The period i Americau history has passed, who sectional strife between North an South' should ali?nate tho two pee pies and make the one tho enomy ? the other. Tho cause of forme aiienaiiou and war has neon remove -African slavery, tho great bono < contention, is dead. In its intei mont, however, thero has arisen war of race against race, instigate by evil-disposed white, men, moro U the sako of attniuing political powe than love for tho negro, or any oth< laudable or hur.ana purposo. Wi tho white men of the North and tl great West fail to como to the r?sout Wo answer for them-they will nt fail. ? ?*?? Wade's oaths aro of the moutl filling kind. He damns everyboc1 and is sure to bo damned in return. _ P?tition Congre... The National Jntetttgmcer, of Wednesday, has an article colling upon the Southern people io petition Congress for relief from, the recon? struction :jneasures. It says: "Tho people have distinctly pro? tested at the ballot-boxes of the North against tho excesses and op? pressions which abound in the legis? lation of tho past year, touching the South. Everybody kuows it, and most of tho radical press are ashnmed to deny, and bluntly admit it. Then, may not tho people of the Sonth lift up their mauoolud arms and show their chains? May they not ask tho ropeal bf this anomalous, tyrannical, and revolutionary programme of re? construction? They would bo ad? dressing themselves to representa? tives who aro to bo re-elected next yefir? s?d Trho dare net turz? a u&u ear to petitioners for whom their con? stituents havo so clearly manifested sympathy and remorse. Lot the case bo made on the floors of Congress. Let no scrap-book tattlings deform again tho consultations of a National Legislature; but let the solemn ap? peal bo made as becomes a noble peo? ple, and lot it be hoard as befits n high deliberative body, and let its prayor be granted, as commanded by tho magnanimous masses of tho North at the recent elections." There is some forco in tho above suggestion. This is tho peaceable way to unito the people of both sec? tions, and it is hardly possible that Congress could turn a deaf car to such a remonstrance from tho pooplo of ten States. The suggestion is at kost worthy of tho consideration of those who aro now suffering from our present embarrassed political situa? tion. THE TIUBUNE ON THE CONVENTION. On tho principio that wc ought to know "whatever our enemies say of us, we publish tho following com? menta on our Convention and its address, from tho New York Tribune: The Conservative State Convention of South Carolina, which assembled at Columbia, on the 7th inst., adopt? ed an address to tho people, wherein it is set forth that tho State must hereafter raiso less cotton and more corn; that free nejrj labor is a failure; that by tho extension ol tho suiTrago to the colored race, "ar ^uornutaud depraved race ?3 place 1 m power and influence above the virtuous, the educated, and thc refiued." This is a very sad result, and wc can sympa? thize with thc South Carolinians, for it is just what wc havo to stand, our? selves, in New York city and the vicinity. Hore we, tho Republicans, are all "virtuous, educated and re? fined," whilo our opponents aro an exceedingly "ignorant and depraved raco." And yet we are tormented, while they are comforted. Indeed, we somctimas think that a certain amount of depravity is a good thing, and we are very sorry that the con? servatives of South Carolina have not a spice of it. Too much righteous? ness has brought them to griof. As to that little question whether free negro labor pays, wo havo not yet determined whether it pays anything I to the conservative who refuses to hire it, but to the free negro wo con? clude that it pays. He has deposited eight millions of dollars in the sav? ings' banks established by the i Freedmen's Bureau during tho past [ year, and wo doubt if slavery evei ' paid tho negro as well as that. SUBSTITUTE FOB COTTON.-Wo no? tice in tho Now Orleans journ.ds thc advertisement of tho Barnie plant, a Mexican production, which yields n fibre finer and whiter than grass cloth, worth sixty cents n pound in London. The New Orleans Picayune speaks ol it as a textile plant, which beinj perennial, growing from tho roots from yoar to year, producing, aftei being well rooted, from two to foin crops of ono hundred and iiftj pounds of clear fibre per season, ant this being vastly finer and st rouge] than cotton or linen, sells at sixty U sixty-five cents per pound in speeie and having none of tho vicissitude! of cotton, promises to become a chic crop in our cultivation. Tho plan is said to bc rapidly and easily pro pngatod, one mun in Mississipp multiplying olcven small root cutting: j in four months to ouo hundred Three thousand will plant au acre. Tho fibre is cleaned by muchim Sower, und is left in long skeins oautifnlly white, superior in quality to India or China grass. CouNTEBErxr TWENTY-FIVE CEN: NOTES.-It has already been stato< that a number of spurious twouty-fivi cont notes havo been put in circula tion. They aro said to bo the bes executed of this denomination ye manufactured, and aro calculated t< deceivo the most careful mone; tnkerd. Tho bogus currency may h known by tho paper being a trifl thicker than the genuiuo, and th green on the back a trifle lightei Tho vignette of Fessondon is, at firs glance, fully as eorroct ns that of th genuine, but a close scrutiny show that it is a good wood ont, aud not steel engraving. 0 v, . RisnoNeraucritm. -^--The folio vin g sound view? of the present political situation is from the New York" World: Every House of Representatives is the sole judge of the qualifications of its members; and it is a flagrant in? consistency for Republican jcurnals to stigmatize its future exorcise, as "revolutionary," after what they have been defending for the last two years. "The remaining part of tho plan for disposing of tho bastard negro governments is defensible on per? fectly solid grounds. By tho Con? stitution, a majority of each Houso is a quorum; a majority of tho Se? nate, therefore, possesses authority to organize and aol as that body. Our suggestion was, that when tho North? ern conservative Senators and tho Southern Se&fttcf? uro a majority, the Senate will have passed out of the control of tho Republicans. Tho idea that the Republican minority will set themselves up for tho Senate is preposterous. What would they gain by it? Being a minority, they could merely adjourn from day to day, but could transact no business. When tho House shall have admitted tho Southern representatives, and the Republicans have dwindled to a minority in tho Semite, there is no danger that this helpless minority will stand out and attempt to resist tho courso of events. If the Demo? crats olect the next President, and a majority of tho next House, tho bas? tard negro governments may bo quietly displaced without a resort to any revolutionary proceedings, or to any measures for which the Republi? can party has not set precedents. Cn.\KOE TO A GKAND JURY.-Ihe Sumter Watchman, referring to the charge of Judge Moses, delivered to tho Grand Jury of Sumter District, at tho scssiou now proceeding, says that, amongst other things, his Honor contended that whether tho existiug military authority constituted a Go? vernment de facto or de jure, it was nevertheless a Government, existing with ample power to enforce its de? crees, and as such it was tho policy of the country to submit to it, executing its exactions, and looking to relief from tho great popular revulsion now in progress. Ho also contended that tho presont Government, or tho laws embraced in tho orders of the Gene? ral Commanding, existed by legisla? tive enactment. That wherever there was Government, and power to en forco it, there must bo legislative capacity and enactments somewhere, whothet it bo centred in one person, reigning as a monarch, or in a legis? lative body, created by the will of the people. His Honor alluded to the order of Gen. Sickles, in regard to debt, Are., and calling up several of its provi? sions, which were in the face of tho statutes of the State and tho deci? dions of the highest court. And yet these wore not only obeyed by every civil officer of tho Suite, but some of them applauded by the mass of tho people. CHURCH TROURI.ES.-The extrn or? dinary scene in tho Presbyterian Assembly in your city yesterday tho fraternization of the Low Church Episcopalians with the members of that body-is creating a tremendous breeze among tho High Church Epis? copalians, who say that something must now be done to counteract tho demoralizing influence upon the Church of such proceedings. They will stand it no longer. While it is determined, therefore, to proceed with tho trial of . tho Rev. Mr. Tyng, they are also resolved, with renewed emphasis, to warn their congregations against the sin of "schism," and of associating with "schismatics;" and to that ond, Rev. Mr. Dix leads off with a sermon at St. Luke's to-morrow evening, taking tho ground that it is not for the inte? rest of tho Church to admit within her fold a non-episcopal ministry. This discourse is to bo followed up by others of a Uko tenor in all tho High Church pulpits of the*ity. IN. Y. Letter in Phila. Lodger. RETORTED DIFFICULTY IN LOUISI? ANA-TEN FREEDMEN KILLED.-The Louisiana Baptist, published at Mount Lebanon, La., lins the following in its issue of tho 17th of last mouth: "A goutleman just from Texas, wo understand, relates tho following cir enmstance as having occurred on Black Bayou, near Jefferson. We learn that ho was near the farm where tho facts took place, a few days nftor tho occurrence. A farmer had a number of hands employed, under written contract for one-third of tho orop. Ho was from home when they oommenccd gathering, zud, cn rc turning, found that they were taking half instead of a third of tho crop. He remonstrated aud told them of the ooinruot, but they beoame en? raged, and fi nally made an attack upon him, and he, in dofouding him? self, shot down four of them with a revolver. Going to town, ho report? ed the facts te a Federal officer, who sent an armed force to investigate and set things right. The negroes defied and finally attacked this force, when six more were shot down." The Roman Catholic Bishop, of Liverpool, has set all that city quar? reling, by preaching agaiust "low ??ck ' drosses. THE EVANUELTOAJJ LUTHERAN ST ??toi?.-This religious body~met yes? terday moruiug, at the Wentworth Street Lutheran Church, where the 1 BJ nodical sermon was preached by the President, Rev. T. S. Boniest, from the 2d Epistle of Timothy, 2d ohaptor and 9th verse, "Wherein I suffer trouble, ns an evil doer, even unto bcnuls; but tho Word of God is not bound." Tho President's report was read, giving an account of the condition of the different churches in tho Synod, together with other mattere connected with his ofllco. At tho close of the services, an election for Syuodical officers was held, which resulted in the re-election of tho pr?? sent incumbents: Synod of South Carolina-Rev. T. S. Boinest, Pomaria, S.

Our specinl correspondence from St. Thomas, dated November 1, gives further particulars of tho late terriblo hurricane in that neighborhood. It j lasted only four hours, bat in that time over 5U0 persons wcro drowned. The steamer Cuinngucy lost seventeen, tho Wye fifty-three, and the Rhone ono hundred and thirty of those on board. The fury of the tempest was such, that houses were lifted bodily from their places of safety on shore and carried out to sea.

To THE EDITOKS OF THE PnoBNrx: In your issue of this morning, I observe that the person who had in possession certain jewels belonging to Gen. John S. Preston, of this city, claims to have belonged to a regiment I once had tho honor to command. I remember a scoundrel by the name of MoLein, a member of Company E, of my regiment. His record is aa follows: "General skulker-deserted in face of the enemy, in Mississippi, summer of 1863; supposed to have gone to the Yankees, with whom it is hoped he will live and die!" As he has just recently turned up in Knox? ville, Tenn., it is probable his infa? mous character will meet its deserts. F. w. MCMASTER, Late Colonel 17th S. C. V. COLUMBIA, S. C., November 15, 1867.
