COLUMBIA.
Tuesday Morning, December 24.1867
The If umber or the DUfranohUetl.
Th? Boston Post says that tho Be
pablioau pupers ore printing Senator
Wilson's statement, that the number
of whites disfranchised at the South,
does not exceed 50,000-some say
60,000 are disfranchised in Tennessee
alono. The Senator is very loose in
his electioneering statements, and
these Republican journals are reck?
less in endorsing them. The New
Orleans 7Hm.es says it cannot be
truthfully denied, that in Louisiana
alone, 30,000 whites are disfranchised
by the Reconstruction Acts. The
white population of Louisiana, is
uui a ienth part ol the whites in?
cluded ia the States of the South; so
that it follows ten times 80,000-say
800,000-white men are disfranchised.
The cumber of those who could not
register, is probably in no degree ex?
aggerated, if we -consider not only
those who ware directly struck out
by these Acta, but those who were
barred out by the construction put
upon by the registration officers.
The Post is right, and Senator
Wilson's statement of the number
disfranchised in the South, ia either
an evidence of his ignorance or his
mendacity. We should think that
no man occupying his position, espe?
cially one who has given so mach at?
tention to the South, and who has
visited so recently, could be so igno?
rant, as to make tho statement he
did. The conclusion is, therefore,
inevitable, that without regard to
truth, he put forth his statement for
electioneering purposes. The New
York Tribune is better posted, and
certainly more truthful in its state?
ment on the subject. That paper
?aya:
"There are probably more than
60,000 white men in Tennessee who
cannot vote. The significance of
this fact is heightened by the general
admission of the blacks to the exer?
cise of the franchiso. So, between
the wide exclusion of the whites and
the universal enfranchisement of the
blacks, Tennessee is a political Pan?
demonium; and, nu tu the suffrage is
so regulated that all men who are
not oxcluded by the Acts of Congress
are admitted to the enjoyment of all
their political rights, we shall have
no hope of cordial and enduring
peace. It may as wall bo plainly
atated here as vaguely hinted at, that
the Republican party of the North
bas never, so far as we know, con?
templated tho permanency of any
. arrangement like that which now
afflicts Tennessee; that it has never
* intended to justify its ouemies iu
their accusation, that it might tyran?
nize over and oppress the whites;
nnd that if thu Southern Republi?
cans, block and white, think the sup?
port of tho North worth winning,
they mns't put their legislation on
some other basis than that of self
seeking and revenge. The time for
disfranchisement of any but classes
embracing few individuals, and those
confessedly disloyal and dangerous,
bas gone by. The hateful pussions
engendered by tho war are dying out.
The country is addressing itself to
the problem of peace; and we be?
lieve that all men who have not deep
personal animosities to gratify, or
some unworthy personal motive to
serve, or who aro not insane with
rage und hate, are williug to draw a
sponge over the past, aud commence
anew, provided that both freedom
and justice can be made tho basis of
future endeavor. Wo believe that
-when wo say this, wo speak for nine
tenths of tho Republicans of the
North-west. Of their devotiou 1o
the cause of their party and the
country, there can bo no doubt."
Besides the complete refutation of
Senator Wilson's statement, con?
tained in tho above paragraph, it is a
scathing rebuko to tho extremists of
the Tribune's own party. Disfran?
chisement, schemes of confiscation,
&c, are weapons which brave men
would scorn to use upon a vanquished
people. Peace having beon assured
by tho leaders of tho two armies on
tho last battle-field of tho South;
honesty, sincerity and patriotism de?
mand that all such punishment for
treason should cease, and the most
earnest efforts made to ro-unito the
peoplo so lately in hapless civil strife.
Without re-union, cordial, honest
and sincere, bctweon the peoplo, all
schemco of reconstruction will give
but temporary relief from the evils
under which tho country is now suf?
fering.

TIMS Antietam Cemetery-Union and
Confederate Dead.
In explanation of complaints of
certain radioal newspapers, because a
portion of the Antietam Cemetery
has been set apart for the burial of
Confederates, wo quote the law of
tho Maryland Legislature according
the use of tho grounds as a national
cemetery to the trustees seleoted by
the respective States. This law will
also explain why a*'lengthy debate"
is said to have taken place at a recent
meeting of the trustees, (many of
whom are radicals,) in Washington,
on the proposition:
SEC. 2. And said lot of ground
shall be devoted, in perpetuity, for
the purpose of the burial and fiual
resting plaee of the remains of the
soldiers who fell at the battle of
Antieman, or at other points North
of the Potomac Jttiver, during tho
invasion of Lee, in the summer and
fall of 1862, or died thereafter in
consequence of wounds received in
said battle, or during said invasion.
SEC. 4. The care and management
of the grounds are hereby entrusted
solely to the trustees; * * * and
it shall be their duty, out of funds
that may come into their hands
through State appropriation or other?
wise, to remove the remains of all
the soldiers referred to in the second
section of this ?ot, and to have them
properly interred- in the aforemen?
tioned grounds; the remains of the
soldiers of tlie Confederate army to be
buried in a part of the grounds sepa?
rate from those of the Union army.
Governor Fenton, of New York,
(a Republican,) has written a letter
in reply to certain radicals who object
to burying the bodies of tho Con?
federate dead in the cemetery. Tho
Governor, in his letter, remarks :
A strong local and individual feel?
ing in the neighborhood of Antietam
and other parts of Maryland, natu?
rally engendered by the invasion,
may have created somo indifference
in regard to the Confederate dead,
and an indisposition to see them
buried side by side with those who
died in defonse of our nationality.
But it is confidently believed that no
such feeling pervades tho breasts of
the American people, or tho surviv?
ing officers and soldiers of the Union
armies.
When wo recall tho generosity aud
moderation that marked thc conduct
of tho people, the Government aud
the army during the war, and the
magnanimity that presided ut tho
close; wheu we remember that our
countrymen aro now engaged in the
work of reconstructing the Uuion on
the basis of universal freedom, und
with an earnest desire to restore to
the Southern States a prosperity in?
timately greater than that which
slavery aud rebellion conspired to
destroy, it is impossible to believe
that they would desire to make au
invidious distinction against the
moulding remains of tho (Jonfederate
dead, or that they would disapprove
of their bciug carefully gathered
from tho spots where they fell, ami
laid to rest in the National Cemetery
on the battle-field of Autietam.
Conquerors as we were in that
great struggle, our stern disapproval
of the cause in which they fought,
need not forbid our admiration of
the bravery with which they died.
They were Americans, misguided,
indeed, and misled, hut still our
couutrymen, and we eau not remem?
ber them now either with enmity or
unkindness.
The hostility of the generous and
heroio ends with death, aud brief as
our history is, it has furnished an
early and striking example. The
British and Americans who fell at
I'luttsburgh sleep side by side; and a
couimou monument on the plains of
Abraham attests the heroism of Wolfe
and Montcalm.
To-day nothing perhaps could
sooner re-awaken a national spirit iu
the heart of the South than the
thought that representatives of tho
Northern States were gathering the
romulus of its fallen sons fur inter?
ment iu our National Cemetery; and
in futuro days, when our country is
ono, not alono in its boundaries, but
in spirit ami affection, and the recent
struggle is remembered as a war less
of sections than of systems, the
Cemetery at Antietam, with its
colossal statue of a Union soldier
keeping guard over tho ashes of all
who fell in the opposing ranks of
McClellan and Lee, will havo a com?
mon interest for the descendants of
those who died on eithor side in that
sad and momorablo civil war.
I think, therefore, that the trustees
of the Antietam Cemetery, especially
in view of the fact that tho Southern
States have not thus far been iu a
position to contribute to tho genoral
funds, should either set apart a suffi?
cient plat of ground within tho
Cemetery walls for tho burial of tho
Confederate dead, or make su' table
arrangements for an enlargement of
tho present enclosure, if necessary, to
the attainment of tho end proposed.
I would also recommend that tho
attention of tho War Department bo
called to the subject, and I entertain
no doubt that the Secretary will
cheerfully co-operate in an object of
so much interest.

DISTRESS IN MISSISSIPPI.-The Cin?
cinnati Gazette has the following
account of the deplorable condition
of affairs in Mississippi:
.'The state of things is appalling.
Distress, want aud misery are even
now stalking abroad. What it may
come to in the dead of winter and
8priug, God only knows. Every
kind of business here is prostrated.
Planters aro bankrupts by the failure
of tho crops, and involve the mer?
chants who advanced for them on the
strength of the growing crop. The
distress here will bo equal, I am
afraid, to the Irish famine of 1847
and 1848. I assure you, you never
saw sitch distressed and ruined peo?
ple as tho peoplo of Mississippi, aud
I presumo the citizens of tlie other
cotton States are in tho samo condi?
tion, and I see no remedy except
within the fold of the Union."
SHAMEFUL AFFAIR.-A correspond?
ent of the Portland (Me.) Argus,
writing from Swedeu, iu that State,
tells the following disgraceful story:
"A man living in this town has
just committed an act that deserves
the censure of the publie, as it lins
already received that of his neigh?
bors. He has formally contracted
with his brother to take ont of his
way his aged aud invalid wife, aud
support, clothe and bury her for
81,000. She had been a hard-work?
ing and faithful wife, and has raised
a largo ? ninny of children, who have
uever felt what it was to be disgraced
until now. One of them, a mau of
twenty years and upward, cried like
a child when he heard of the affair.
Ho had offered to support her him?
self if the old mau would give him i
the farm to do it with, which was
refused. And now this man sends
his wife from home, where 'she has
outlived her usefulness,' to die among
strangers. He has not even the
excuse of poverty to plead, for he is
accounted the richest man iu the
town."
The Kentucky Senate has adopted,
by a vote of twenty-five to six, a
resolution providing for tho appoint?
ment of a select committee of five
from the Senate and five from the
House, with instructions to report as
early as practicable the assessed value
of slaves takeu from tho citizens of
Kentucky by Federal Executive pro?
clamation, by Acts of Congress, and
by the amendment to the Constitu?
tion of the United States known as
the thirteenth article; and, also, the
value of such slaves taken from each j
County in the Common wealth ; and
that said committee report what
steps are necessary and proper to
enable tho citizens of the State to
obtain compensation from tho Fede?
ral Government for such slaves so
taken.
CONFEDERATE MONEY.-In "Sew
Orleans, last week, tho great ca e of
Weaver vs. Anfoux, which has elicit?
ed so much learning and ability in tho
lower aud tho Supremo Courts, has
been finally decided by tho latter
tribunal. Tho judgment of the court
below in favor of Weaver was con?
firmed. Tho points involved were,
whether a party who has given a
I mortgage for a loan made in Confed?
erate notes could resift thc enforce?
ment of the mortgage, when ho had
used the notes in question to release
a previous mortgage. Tho Supreme
Court decided that he could not avail
himself of such a plea, after accept?
ing and using the notes au they had
been used. The judgment was, there?
fore, in favor of the mortgage.
A MONSTROUS BEARD.-We have
i been presented by Mr. Scott, Chief
of Police, with the photograph of a
gentleman now on a visit to this city,
whoso beard has grown to the mon?
strous length of six feet within the
huit seven years. Wo understand ho
has to carry it rolled up under his
arm when walking-otherwise, it
would trail the ground. The name
of the individual who wears this
singular looking appendage is An?
drew Koppen. His beard is of a per?
fectly natural growth, and from its
appearance'.one would judge that, if
wrapped around his body, it would
afford almost as good a covering as a
blanket.-Pittsburg Dispatch.
In March, 1866, Oongres? suspend?
ed the reciprocity treaty with Canada,
which it was thought would bean
admirable means of venting its wrath
against Great Britain. Previously to
that time, large supplies of wheat,
oats, potatoes, lumber, aud other
articles of Cauadian production, had
been obtained from Canada, increas?
ing our commerce with the provinces
at the rate of from fifteen to tweuty
five per oent. annually; but siuce,
there has been a reduction of fifty
two per cent, iu our imports from
that quarter, the consequenco of
which is felt in higher prices. There
is now a prospect of tho ro-enact
luent of the treaty, it haviug been
discovered that wo have been punish
ing ourselves in this brilliant experi?
ment to afflict "perfidious Albion."

It will be romemb red that tho
radicals in Congress objected to
printing the President's Message, on
the ground of tho expense. The
document makes 32 pamphlet pages.
Yet these vory men who were so

1,200 pages and costing, at the usual
prices churged for printing the mes?
sage, not less than S75.000.
As an indication of the decline in
tho price of labor, we give the follow?

over 88 to $10 per month, with ra?
tions, for the next year. These
laborers, it will be remembered, are
charged for all lost time, even frac?
tions of a day.-Macon Telegraph.
The Florida planters feel great in?
security, growing out of the number
of gin-houses already destroyed, the
constant robberies of smoke-houses,
and the thefts of hogs and cattle. So
frequent are these latter, and so long
have they been carried on. that tho
country is almost stripped of hogs
and the stock of cattle has dimi?
nished fearfully, threatening great
distress for the necessaries of life the
coming year.

STOPPING A NEWSPAPER.-Soi
people seem to think that their su
scriptiou to a newspaper obligal
the editor to advocate their own j

editor should be an independ?
being, honest enough to give '.
opiuious, and let his readers jut
of what they are worth. To th
who are so ready to send wo
"Stop my paper," because the edi
expresses his honest opinion, foin
after careful research and mature
liberation, we commend the folh
ing little story:
"A certain mau hit his toe ngai
a pebblo and fell headlong to

ci ency, he kicked mother earth ri
saucily. With imperturbable grai
he looked to seo tho earth disst
itself and como to naught. But
earth remained, and only his p
foot injured in tho encounter.
"This is the way of mau. An
tide in a newspaper touches bim :
weak spot, and. straightway ho se
to 'stop his paper!' With g
Belf-complacency ho looks to see
crash when the object of his spl
shall cease to bc. Poor fool, he
only hit his own toe against a w<
that does not perceptibly feel
shock, and injures, to a slight
tent, nouo but himself."
