B. Allen, Chester. Julias Poppo, Anderson C. H. S. P. Kinard, Newberry C. H. James Grant, Union._ Tba Loni aluna Prot co t. We have received a copy of this able document. It covers'very much the same ground aa the remonstrance appeal sent forth by our state Cen? tral Executive Committee. It is a manly protest against negro rule and negro tyranny. As the Journal of Commerce says: "The Louisiana constitution has the same features of negro suprema? cy and tyranny as the South Carolina pattern. All the new Southon; con? stitutions haye a family resemblance, proving that they originate from one or two busy brains at the Washing? ton headquarters. Every negro over twenty-one years of age is al? lowed to vote, while the following sweeping disfranchisement is leveled at the whites: A?Th08e who held office, civil or military, for one year or more, nuder the organization styled 'The Confede? rate States of America;' those who registered themselves as enemies of the United States; those who acted as leaders of guerilla bands during tho late rob elli on ; those who, in the advocacy of treason, wrote or pub? lished newspaper articles or preached sermons during tho late rebellion; and those who voted for and Hi'gned an ordinance of secession in any State. No person inoluded in these exceptions shall either vote or hold office, until he shall have relieved himself by voluntary writing and signing a certificate setting forth that he acknowledges the late rebellion to have been morally and politically wrong, and that he regrets any aid and comfort he may have given it; and he shall file the certificate in the office of the Secretary of State, and it shall be published in the official journal. "Negro supremacy is further as? sured by this oath (required to be taken by officers of militia as well as 'all other officers:' "ABT. 100. Members of the Gene? ral Assembly, and all other officers, before they enter upon the duties of their offices, shall take the following oath or affirmation: 'I (A. B.) do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I ac? cept the civil and political equality of all men, and agree not to attempt to deprive any person or persons on ac? count of race, color or previous con? dition, of any political or oivil right, privilege or immunity enjoyed by any other class of men. That I will support the Constitution and laws of the United States, and the constitu? tion and laws of this State, and that I will faithfully and impartially dis? charge and perform all the duties in? cumbent on mo as-, according to th? best of my ability and under? standing. So help mo God." OniTUARY.-Two continents will minglo their tears with Virginia as she bends above the grave of her young and gifted son, Barbee. Death has of late years been busy with the scythe, und many a noble form has bowed to its gleauing hand. Has a moro devoted child been snatched from Virginia's embraco, or a brighter jewel from her crown than William lt. Barbee? The artistic world had already luid at his feet tho homage ot its admiration. The ?'Co? quette" and "Fisher Girl" sufficed to assure the generation iii which he moved of a genius rare among pro? fe8sional aspirants. His devotion to his profession was second, only to his intense, trusting, child-like'love of Virginia. His State was to him his mother.-Petersburg Express. .,.' ,. ._4 *'.'''-- . An exchange taye: "Women are allowed to praotico law in Kansas." How kind of Kansas! Unlike her sister States, she will permit the la? dies to sully themselves with Coke. COTTON CONVENTION.-A Conven? tion of cotton plantera and manufac? turers met in Boston on Wednesday. Amos Lawrence was put in the Chair, and made a speech, in which he recited some of the, facts concerning the production and tho .manufacturo of cotton, which foreshadowed dis? aster, he said, to those engaged in manufacturing. Yet the failures had been few-tho imruenso profits made in 1864 giving strength to withstand losses. There are now 6,400,000 spindles in the United States, which cost $25 each, or $160,000,000. The 'capital employed to work them is $80.000,000, or $12.50 per spindle, making in all $240,000,000-to say nothing of shops for making machine? ry and produoing supplies, which may be estimated at $20,000,000. Sevon years ago, one-seventh of the cotton produced in the United States was manufactured hore. Now, we manufacture" one-third of the product. In 1851, the price of cotton waa 12 cents; in 1864, $1.90; in 1865, 40 cents; and in 1867, 15>? cents per ponnd. These variations were most unfavorable; but, as said above, tho immense gaius of manufacturing of 1864, bolstered up the manufactur? ers. Mr. Lawrence then gave au expla? nation of the objects of the associa? tion, viz: reliable information to the manufacturer, protection against unjust legislation, increased capital to tho cotton grower, and improved instrumentalities for cultivating und clearing the crop. He asserted, what all know to be true, that tho United States has a greater capacity for tho production of cotton than any other country, and that the markets of Europe could be regained. He further affirmed that the heavy staple goods could be manufactured at the South and on the Western thoroughfares cheaper than they could at the North. To the two classes embraced in this ootton interest, the chief difficulty that presents itself, is the abominable and unconstitutional reconstruction measures of Congress. The unex? ampled and mad revolution whioh has placed tho black slave at one leap into the political arena as the equal of the white man, has inflicted an in? jury upon this cotton interest which years cannot repair. If manufacturer and producer would unite in an effort to redress tho outrage by which this injury was inflicted, they could achieve more for their mutual good, as well as the good of the nation, than they can in any other way. THE RULERS OF THE SOUTH.-Let any one look at the character of tho white radicul leaders of the South who have banded tho negroes to? gether in secret, oath-bound league organizations, says the Norfolk Day Boole, who have, without provocation or decent pretext, arrayed them in hostility to their former'masters, and who, in fact, own them body and soul, and control their every thought, sentiment and motion. The radica] party South of tho Potomac-tho white portion of it, at least-is infi? nitely meaner, moro unprincipled, vindictive and brutal, than the same party ot tho North. Thore its lead? ers, at least, are men of talent and of social influence and per? sonal respectability. Hero, on the contrary, they are the very scum and dregs of society. There the hate? ful and dangerous dement of race antagonism is absent; here it is a prevailing and dominant influence. A few mean, selfish, unscrupulous white men, having separated them? selves from their race, and pl need themselves ut the head of the blacks, brandish their weapons, and urge them on to a crusade against the white race, just as we have recently seen a few white men of the samo class leading tho savage Indians against tho whites, and encouraging thom in their brutul excesses. The French Emperor seems to find it hard to snit his homo critics in these days. When he makes a po? litical 'speech, they scout him; when he avoids polities, they scorn him. His late speech at Orleans was skill? fully confined to general topics and such glorious historical reminiscences as Joan of Arc, the gallant muid who shed lustro upon tho nnme of tho city, To tin's, the Journal des D?bats says, most unappreciated : "If we might ask Heaven to guide the rulers of the world, wo should pray, for our part, that it might direct them a little more in conformity with tho line of modern ideas." - A copy of Eliot's Indian Bible, a work which no living man can read, was sold at auotion in New York, recently, for the extraordinary etiin of 61,130, tho highest price ever paid for a printed book In this country. SPECLA^NOTIC?S. MENTAL DEPRrosSIOX.-Mont al div pression ia & disease of tho nervous sys? tem, mid of all tho ills flesh is heir to it is tho one that excites'tho least sympathy. It is a subject of frequent josts, and is called by various derisive torms; but, al? though it is often laughed at, it is not easy to laugh the patient out of the belief that his ills are all roal, for it is a real dis? order-tho general features of which aro constant fear, anxiety and gloom. Tho external senses, as well as tho mont ul faculties, ofton manifest symptoms of de? rangement. Moise, as of falling water, and ringing in the ears, arc complained of, while black specks and fiery sparks frequently flit before tho vision. Admoni? tions liko thoso should not bo disregarded, as they may, if neglected, terminate in insanity. The seat of the disease is in tho brain and nervous eyatom, and to control the malady it is necessary to use a power? ful tonio and alterative, which will correct and tono thoso organs without inflaming the brain. This is the secret cf the suc? cess of HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BIT? TERS in cases of this kind, for which it is thc safest as well as tho best of restora? tives. In fact, it is the only pure and reliable tonic stimulant known. Many nostrums, purporting to be tonics, are puffed up from timo to timo in the newspapers, but the sufferer had better let them alono. Hos tetter's Stomach Bitters has proven itself, by nu.ny years of trial, to bo in every re? spect what it is representod to bo.
