COLUMBIA, S. C. Satnrdxy Morning, BeoerAbeg 4.1869. St-clntlons BIIWMH Labor ?nd Cnplui. Tho remarks of GOT. Scott in his mes? sage on this ?abject are grossly unjust to tho class of -employers in tho State. And ?ere we moy wo?i observe, that if there be one thfog whioh, more than another, baa characterized the messages of this GoToroor, lifted by accident into emi? nence in South Carolina, it is a persist? ent abuse and misrepresentation of that olass in Sooth Carolina which have de? clined to regard him as in any proper cense a fit representative of the Execu? tive authority of Sonth Carolina. In his previous messages the greut body of the whites in Sonth Carolina were abnsed and slandered for their political role. Now, the political being exhausted, the Governor and bis party bare changed their point of attack. Labor et. capital is now in tho month of .Very radical demagogue, from the chief down. And as we have before said, the miserable and petty effort is made to anray the so called . poor against the so called rich. And this programme is at? tempted because in this way it is hoped to divide the solid oolumn of tho whites, and to gain white accessions to the ranks of a party which, to keep life, must have new blood infused into its veins. Sot we will say to these sharp and acute politicians from the North and to their alli?e in the South, that this effort will fail. The whites of South Carolina arre one in political sentiment-in tastes -in past memories-in aspirations for the future. They will spurn with con? tempt the base suggestions of thoso wboee polioy ls to divide and conquer. And farther, we will say to these busy intermeddlers and these persistent mis? chief-makers, that it is in vaia for them to undertake to regulate matters between labor and capital. This will regulate it? self. The man who has labor is free, and the man who has capital is free, and it is a piece of impudence as well as folly, for legislation to attempt to oome in and interioro ia matters that beloug to tho domain of political eeonomy. What brazen impudence! . What su promo impertinence! What officiousness, that radical politicians in Abbeville and elsewhere, should undertake to say to employers that they should give thus and thus, and to laborers, that they should take thus and thus! Havo they employment to give? Truly, this is an age of broMt, and chief among the repre? sentatives of brain io this State, are some of these radical politicians-who have moro of brass than brains-moro of cun? ning than wisdom-more of everything than sense and decency. How long shall our patience be abused? To what extent will these mon carry their inso? lence and impudence? ? ? ? ? TSie Advent of Haid Tim? ? nt (lie <V0rtn. Tho World publishes some very inte resting information as ta the prospects of trude, gleaued from interviews with some of tho more prominent merchants of New York. At A. T. Stewart's, Western trade was reported "very dull," aod this state of things was accounted for in consequence of the holding back of tho crops hy the farmers. Though the Sontberu trade was deemed better than that of tho West, the same ten? dency to withhold the products of this section was observable. Cotton, they thought at Stewart's, was bound to risc in price, after a while. It was conceded that n return to specie payments would hart the wholesale dealers but might bc to the advantage of retailers. At another Irrgo dry goods house, thi same dullness was complained of and substantially the same reason given therefor. Centralization of capital hud become so chronic that it was almost im? possible for small firms to exist in com? petition. The only chanco for ac ti vt young men was to reach junior partner ships, but theso were difficult to secure ana the proper persons hard to obtuit io. oonaequfuco of the rage for ext ru vu ganoo and speculation. Kents huve beet enormous but are tumbling. But tlx reduotion of even twonty-ftve per cent, in rents will not suffice to materially bet ter the business situation. lu spite o tho immeuse union ut of business done . .jr.ng the last two years, few of tin r.ierohants havo made any money. Even importer ia keeping prepared for tin K?si bio resumption of specio pa.Mneuti ' running in debt as much iu he cai abroad aod freeiug himself at home This UDoaainess destroyed the murgin foi great profits. With scarcely au excep tion the largest dry goods houses art doing a fair business; but nine-lent hu ol the smaller houses are idle. Hoseu?eld <fc Bro., importers of fancy foreign goods, took a very billions viev of allai rs. The consumption of good; waa calculated at fully thirty-five pe cent, loss thun it was last year. Tin Western fanners arc holding buck, ant so are tho planters of tho South. Botl ?re dissatisfied with ruling prices fo their products, and, -in a majority o cases, were able to wait for a rise. Si the farmers will not purohaso, and th merchants uro afraid to increase tuei stocks. Kei lying to a direct inquiry a to th? Southern trade, Ur. Rosanfiold .aid: "Southern trade ia good; and we look for otjU better trade in tue courso of a month-that i?a*Koon a? they r?alise. Too eeo the Southern plantera O? cotton are now m aa tera of -the situation. Ac? cording to alt the information we gat from Europe, there is nothing like so much cotton raised in Egypt and India aa waa ontioipted. So the plauters are holding on with the id?, a of getting bct I ter prices." On the point of specie resumption, Mr. R. was very emphatic He declared thai the very idea of it made dealers tremble. Ho, however, thought an early return to solid values impossible, but thought a beginning should be toado by allowing a portion of customs duos to be paid in currency. The Speech of Louis Napoleon-.Com? ments of th? Pres?. The speech of Louis Napoleon, de? livered before the French Legislature at tho opening of its session on Monday, is well calculated to attract general atten? tion, as it promises a number of impor? tant reforms. The following are the opinions expressed of it by two of our New York contemporaries: The French Legislature bas opcued, and the imperial oraolo bas uttered words of cheer and warning. Not easy is it to establish liberty, remarks the hero of the coup d'etat and the ex-president of the republic. Society, lately threatened by its revolutionary lH-temper, has rallied, however, upon ita common sense, and condemned its exaggerated angry pan? sions. AU this has but operated to show tbe solidity of what his Majesty is wont to call the edifice established by suffrage. Nevertheless, it is imperially imperative thai ibu popular will should be made known. 'Order,' says the Emperor with dignity, 'I will answer for; help me, Messieurs, to secure liberty. Between those who would change all and those who would grant nothing a glorious course may be pursued.' Help him, Messieurs, by all means, to seoure liberty. Lot us hope, too, that his glori? ous conservatism will lean to that virtue's side of those who hope to obange all, rather than to those who would keep tbe empire in a condition of imposing ruin and suspended failure. What else the Emperor says, is in com? pliment to liberty, science and progress. A man of brains, though he wear a crown, could not fail to respect tho for? midable advauce of human affairs com? prehended iu the facts that America has abolished slavery; that Russia has freed her serfs, aud that England, in her own way and time, is rendering tardy, though we fear circumlocutory justice to Ireland. The Emperor adds, what mankind at Isrge may feel oomfort in hoping or be? lieving, that the bishops are meeting nt Rome for wise and conciliatory purposes. He recognizes, moreover, the great value to the world of the Pacific Railroad, thc Mont Cenia Tunnel and the Suez Canal. From this passage of his speech, we have but one point to single ont for com? ment. In declaring that the New World has abolished slavery, the Emperor ap? parently hos forgotten that Spain hot not. But we take to ourselves all tlie compliment which his Majesty means tc pay to the republican progress which hat survived tho intervention in Mexico, ant which has sect ont our pcacoful Mr Seward to visit the pinces sacred to tin misfortunes of Maximilian. Spain mai take warning by his Majesty's flattery und render homage to emancipation am tbesteum engine, by letting Cuba go. The rest of the Emperor's speech i of signal value and meaning. It is ii fact a grant of many of tho demand make by France, and a realization ii good part of the programme of Prino Napoleon's speech. Municipal election." communal councils, uew prerogatives ti the Councils-General, and wider suffrage are to be allowed. Primary educatioi will be developed, justice will be madi cheaper, the war tax will not bo so bur denaome, tho savings bank system wil bu extended, and other smaller mea Hures are promised. But the oppoBitio; hos properly complained that the Em peror has not approached the root of ol evil iu political France. He has no promised, so fur as we cnn see, the re form of the circumscriptions; he hos nc made his satraps amenable to the civi courts; he hus not made his prefecture lens odious. Wo might speak of furthe evils; but Franco will, we doubt not, b disposed to accept half a loaf as botte i han no bread, pending a further chang in the health of tho Emperor and th temper of the empire.-JV. Y. Tributu The address dolivered by the Empero will be read with deep interest. It co taiuly convoys tho impression that he i noting in good faith; that he sincere! desires to crown the edifico nt last; nu that, with the cordial co-operation of tb Legislature, be will gladly give to Franc all thc freedom that can bo enjoye under a monarchy resting on the basia c universal suffrage. His declaration tin "between those who would grant uothin and those wbo would change all, a gi? tiona course might bo chosen," was a d; rect appeal to the third party, wbt holding tho middle position between tl: devoted imperialists and the irreconc lalilea, have in their hands the deoisio of the present destiny of Frunoe. Til exact strength of the three parties is nc yet accurately known, as ?orno chang? in the views of members are said to ha\ taken pince since their eleeticn. But tl: irreconcilables count thirtj votes and tl third party something like seventy-fivi This still leaves a majority of imperialist but with tho third party ana tho irr coucilables uuited, the imperialists, ni win ?cally strong, will be morally weal "Franco," says the Emperor, "desiri liberty with order. I am responsible ii order; the nation looks to you for liberty These are good words, and if good, dee? follow them, all may yet end well.

EDITOR-Dear Slr: I cannot let tho opportunity pass, without expressing my hearty approval of your excellent editorial in to-day's I'UO?NIX. Tho views there expressed should find a response in the heart of every man, who desires to see our beloved State rise Out of the de? pressed condition in which she has long been struggling. Let our people all follow tho advice that you have so wisely given, and, dark as the present is, a glorious future will be before us. Why should we all despond, and with vain and inglorious repiniugs over past great? ness, allow the dark waves of radicalism to swallow us up? Is it not belter to unite together in a common cause, and work for the public good? Is it not wiser to try and belter our condition which we may do, not by useless and vain abuso of our political opponeuts, hut by going with them, in all measures that aro right, pro por and just, and op? posing them when wrong, in au open and manly course? Lot ..he dead past bury the dead. Let past issues aloue. Deal with tho present. Wo have always claimed thut wc-tho white people of the South-were thc true friends to tho colored race. Now, why not continue so? I We bear no malice that they aro free, for one, believe that it will be better for ; tho white man that they are, and by a I proper appreciation of them, and treat? ment snob as their position demands, it may bo HO for them. It is not the colored man's fault that wicked and designing adventurers have come amongst them. Bul il is our fault, if we givo up and allow them to bo alienated from us, when so slight an effort is required to o.infirm .hem in what-in the depths of their sa? gacity they well know-that the Southern white man is the colored man's first aud best friend. Becauso some are arrogant and stuck up by their recent promotion and unusual privileges, look kiudly on it and reflect, would we, in their position, bavo acted differently? I think not. No, disguise it asyou will, our only hope is to mako tho best of the means we have, aud if we wish to get rid of the speculating adventurers who come herc to rulo us, and profit off of our necefai ties, we mtiBt do it, not by masterly inac? tivity, but by a wiso, just and proper ap? preciation of tho position, strength and necessities of our colored friends. Mr. Editor, in a conversation to-day, with our old aud estoemed fellow-citizen, John Caldwell, I was pleased to hear his warm and enthusiastic endorsement of the sen? timents in your cditoriul; and though Mr. Caldwell has been looked ou aa disposed to radicalism, we all know him to bo an honest, upright and long-headed citizen. Should our people act as you advise them, wo will concentrate together the wiso and tho good of all classes and con? ditions, and form a party whose strength and nuity of interests shall sweep all be? fore thom. Proscribo none. Justice to all. G. lu the activo pursuit of pleasuro or gain, the inestimable blessing of health is too often forgotten, until disease is firmly costed, and tho fact only realized by great bodily and mental suffering. The liver is tho vulnerable point in most persons, and tho disarrangement of that organ involves almost the wbolo system, therefore tho reason why, under liver disease, there is enumerated such a num? ber of afflictions, and we claim the Sim? mons Liver Regulator lo be a remedy for them all. D1{:J To SCEPTICS.-The almost daily recoipt of voluntary testimonials from every part of tho country, from Physicians, Clergy? men, old and young, male and femnlo, is sufficient to satisfy the moot sceptical that DR. TUTT'S EXPECTORANT is the most valuable LUNG BALSAM of the age; marly wonderful cures huve been performed by it, as may be seen by hundreds of certificates in the bands of the proprietor. Try it, and you will doubt no longer. Dib' The weak and emaciated mother says: "My health and strength is restored by the dee of" SowmoNs' BITTXP-. N21 3~? o O A 1 X t o xxx rat .

ROBINSON'S "Snow."-As wns to have been expected, Robinson's exhibition at? tracted an immense crowd, lost night. The performance was perfectly satisfac? tory-macy of tho feats being apparently terrific. The collection of animals is large, and embraces, besides lions and tigers, several beasts that have not been seen in this part of the world for many, many yearB. At 2 o'clock this afternoon, and again at 7 this evening, tho doors will be opened; and all who aro blessed with little ones, should give them an op? portunity of seeing the menagerie, at least. Wo had a call yesterday from Col. W. F. Gray, connected with the Emigration and Passenger Department of a number of steamship and railway lines in this country and Europe. The Colonel has been through most of thc countries of Europe and has traveled throughout the United States and other parts of the American continent. He ia now making a tour of tho States, especially of the ?South and West, on matters connected with European immigration to this conutry; on which he has extra facilities for furnishing information. Hts visit to this State is for the purpose of ascertain? ing the prices of lund, ?co., for informa? tion of parties in Europe who desire to come to this country and purchase homes. CRCHBS.-Senators J. H. Raiuey, W. B. Nosh, L. Wimbush, and J. J. Wright -all colored-left yesterday for Wash? ington, to attend the National Laboi Convention. A team of molos, yesterday, became excited at the animal which Sambo de scribes as "imbin tail before and tai behin," and vamosed, upsetting th< wagon and scattering the contents.
