COLUMBIA, S. C. Wednesday Morning, Jiuie 23. I960. Tlie Negro L?bor Q,ue*?lon-Ho>v I*. BrlcUlayer?' Union. t The Washington correspondent of the Kew York Herald 6ays: The African won't down at any? body's bidding. He is bound, to bs up in every place, and intends to smash things generally or haye bis rjjjotfL The bricklayers here Lave had a secoucTdose of the Africab, and are in a terrible fever because he insists,-as also does the Go? vern mont-upon laying btickYona per? fect equality with pale faces of the same profession. At a meeting of their Union on Thursday last, the bricklayers' com? mittee appointed at the previous meet? ing to examine'into tho subject, reported during the eveniug that two colored bricklayers were employed in the Navy Yard upon the same footing with thu whites, and Thomas Mahoney, Robert Patterson, Ben. Myers, J. W. Elliott, Richard Robey and Wm. Myers were working with them in defiance of the rules of the Union, and should, there? fore, be expelled. Previous to the re? port of the committee being made, oue of the Navy Yard workmen, wns present, and so bitter was the feeling that a mo? tion was made to expel him from the room? which the Preident declared ont of ordor, as he was yet a .member of the Uniou. A resolution of expulsion of (he above named 'men wa3 odored and oar ged, after' d?bale,' bV a large majority, ne of the,cumber repotted by the com? mittee has not worked ir, tho Navy Yard since tho employment of -tho,? colored men t?iere,': in consequence of severe illn?ss, hut. ;as his politics Vcr*,' well known and his bauio still at tacked lo the brick masons" - roll iu tb o yard, they labored under the impression that .they would have ;ftb expel bim; as soon hs ne. was able to work, and so made a complete job of the affair by cupelling him ulong with the others. At the previous meet? ing, On the 3d of Juhe, if was under? stood that .a comhiittoo of thoUniou had been appointed to. wait on the Navy Yard workmen who were members of the Union, and request them to quit work. For some reason or other this committee never waited upon them, but Thomas Mahoney, tho senior workman, reflecting the sentiments of his asso? ciates who had determined in a body to stick to the Government, prepared- the following letter, to be delivered to the Union: WASHINGTON, June 8, 1869. B&cXl?t/ers' Union, No. lj Washington, GENTLEMEN: At a meeting of the Uuion held June 3, 3869, it was" resolved, b?y a large majority' of the members, that 'my? self and otl|er[ inenibers of thor Union employed iu the Navy Yard should stop work, or be expelled from the Union. This demand is mado upon us from the fact that colored bricklayers are employ? ed iu the yard. I respectfully declino to quit the Government work. Were your proceedings conducted iu a spirit of jus? tice nod humanity, you would havo no cause to make such a demand upon me. Were''yon to open your doora for the ad? mission of colored men to your Uuion, tho same as tho Government work in to thom, the trouble would end. " Though you exclude political discussions from your councils, you uro a political body or, at least, the majority are.. Political is too mild a term to be applied to many of yon. Tho veil with which you would cover yourselves is too thin to hide your deformity. Numbers of you kavo worked witk colored bricklayers when they were slaves without . complaint, and I am of the opinion that if they were returned to slavery to-morrow, yon would so alter your laws that you would have the ines? timable privilege of working with a co? lored chattel. Your Union was barely formed when you commenced your threats agaiust the Government, which ended iu your defeat, and you seem to be keepiug it up with no better prospect of success than on a former occasion. It is said that I entered into certain obligations when I joined the Union. I admit it. But when it is demanded of me to forsake my convictions of right and duty to join with men to embarrass the Government, and to make war upon a portion of my own country-born citi? zens, I will tako my stand on the side of right, and have nothing to do with a course so unrighteous as you would have me to do. You have good and sensible men among you; but they will not liston to wise counsel. You are joined to your idols, and it is best to let you alone. I regret that there has been occasion for my penning this letter. It is disagreea? ble for me to enter into strife with my fellow-men. A quiet corner suits my ago and temperament best. Tho harm Mint may como to me from being expelled from the Uniou will not amount to much. Wheu the Government has no longer uso for my services, there will be some opou ing for me by which I eau make a living. Respectfully, THOMAS MAHONEY. GREENBACKS.- We waut a uniform currency-tho legal tender currency-in which the people will have confidence, and from whioh tho Government will de? rive, instead of private corporations, tho profits of a national circulation. It is evident that something will have to bo done by Congress to place the currency of the country ou a firm and satisfactory basis. The present mixed systom was only experimental, and has proved a failure. We ure just drifting along under it. There is no olement of permanency ia it. The remedy is a simple one-tho substitution of legal tenders for national bank notes. We hope Congress, ns soon as it assembles, will apply this remedy and give unity and stability to our cur? rency system.-Ne ic York Herald.

Tile Memphis Savings Rank, and lt? ?^TEDITOR; This charitable institu? tion ??as established st the instance of a set Jii^benevfient ??venturera.

Howover, Ihe terms and conditions wore fully com? plied with by tbe-sppHcante tn f?rin, if not in rcilily. Tho ?tock wns subscribed and taken, and probably, for the time being, paid in-thus securing their char? ter; whereupon, they elected their presi? dent and directors, nud published the faot, with an array of officia! nnmos.from tbe president down, which sufficed to magnetize, the publia mind. - -This insti? tution (of names, not- money,) charmed a throng of depositors, who eagerly availed themselves of the opportunity thus afforded ns s safe place for tb eur money. ; The fondest expectations' of th? stockholders wqre soon realized.

Like the cat that plays with a' mouse, lends it in tu ? falso security until the period arrives to devour it. Not one dollar was-invested by the stockholders of this institution by which to securd the ut)8U?i>eotiug- depo? sitors. This public guardian of private funds suddenly failed. Thc stockhold? ers, therefore, made mice of the deposit? ors' funds. Among their victims num? ber many poor widows, orphans, mecha? nics, ana a host of others, whose little earnings had been placed in snid bank as a protection for themselves and families in event of a rainy day, to say nothing of the rich. Of tbe latter, a citizen of thi^city, distinguished for bis shrewd? ness in the- affaira of business, lost by this cavings bank $13,000. This, Mr. Editor, illustrates tho posi? tion assumed by the writer in your paper of the 13th instant Such hos been tbe practical operations and workings of this nolle ?7istitiUion, designed principally for the poor. There are, however, honora? ble exceptions ia every grade or class of institutions. Tho Columbia Savings Bank rauks among the exceptions. Nevertheless, the writer, in reviewing their chatter, discovers no clause which furnishes security or imposes any .special penalty, worthy of npto, in the event of default, to make good tho funds of their depositors. The writer disclaims any unfriendly feeling to institutions of this character. On the contrary, ho believes if their charters were properly shaped, with restrietions, indemnities and penal? ties, such os would throw around the depositors a shield of protection for their money, with a judicious corps of officers, as represent the Columbia Savings Bunk, doubtless they would provo a source of convenience and profit to any communi? ty in which they may be located. Insti? tutions of this character rightfully be? long to the people, and aro, therefore, subject to assay. .'If they cannot stand the crucible of in estimation, separate the dross, and let tbe alloy be made her own. COLUMBIA. . AN EX-CONFEDERATE COLONEL ACCUSED OF FRAUD.-Several weeks ago, one Andrew J. Rogers, formerly a colonel in the Confederate army, came to New York, with the ostensible purpose of dis? posing of property on Morris Island, S. C., the whole of which he pretended to own. He subsequently wont to Provi? dence, lt. I., and there obtained $3,500, on a draft signed by himself, from a real estate agent named Frank G. Allen, under the pretence of leaving valuable property as security. As these several representations were subsequently found to be false, search was made for tho colo? nel, in the course of whioh it was ascer? tained that Bogers had escaped to New York, where ho was followed by officer Slocum, of tho Providence force. This officer, assisted by detective Farley, of the Central Office, arrested the fugitive w-n Thursday night. He was arraigned before Justice Hogan, at the Tombs, yes? terday, when he consented to go back to Providence, without waiting the arrival of a requisition; so the Rhode Island officer took bia prisoner back on an early train.-New York Times. MR. SEWARD'S LAST PROPHECY.-Be? fore starting on his present tour, he stated very explicitly that within a year tboro would be a break-up of President Grant's administration, whioh ho pro? nounced tho weakest administration the country has over had; and be assigned as one reason for going away that he wished to be as far off os possible when the break-up takes place.

H cam ITT OF E sons H M EN.-The Paris correspondent of the London Herald, speaking of a farewell dinner given to General Dix, on occasion of his leaving France, says: "Tho Americans are a great people, but it is a pity that all their manifesta? tions Bhonld have tue unseemly-appear? ance of a puff. They pud themselves, puff their incomes, puff their statesmen, and are never so happy as when pro? claiming the very high opinion they en? tertain of their own merits." There is too much truth in this; aud on the other hand, there is nothing so pleasing to the observer of human na? ture, as exhibited in the average English? man, as the sweet, retiring modesty of his personal and national self-estimation. If there is oue British quality moro marked than auotbor, it undoubtedly is the grace of humility. [New York Times.
