COLUMBIA, S. C. Tuesday Morning, Juno 15, 1875.@ | Vice-president Wilson.?An exchange Kays Vioo-President "Wilson, who is now in Now York, has boon interviewed, and talked very fully and freely about his recent tour in tho South. He said that he was v.-rv snrdiiillv r??tl lileosontlv r coived by all classes, and the opinion is entertained by him that the era of recon? ciliation, that stop beyond reconstruc? tion, is rapidly dawning. Without say ing bo, ho evidently traces the increase of good feeling to a corresponding in? crease in material prosperity and fresh spirit of industry?industry of tho Northern kind, which means close atten? tion to business. The crops are generally of excellent promise, and that helps .everything. Mr. Wilson believes that race prejudices are dying out, and that the relations between white and black are becoming more friendly and practi? cal. Politically, Mr. Wilson says that there can be no question that the South expects an alliance with the Democracy of the North, which may give them tho victory in tho next Presidential election, but he predicts that there will bo no violence?the Southern loaders resorting to conciliation of the colored vote. He aays: "I think the Southerners are going to act with a good deal of tact, and win power if they can. How they will use I that power remains to bo seen. I want the country to remain in the hands of those who carried it through the great [ struggle, led it to liberty, and are sound on the general issues that were then in? volved. This appears to mo to be abso? lutely necessary for the good of this 'Country, at least till such time as tho country, both South and North, gets sound on the general questions that affect the interests of all. "What we do want is to have tho country safe. We cannot afford to have any doubts about this, if possible, but shall make it a matter of certainty. I have no doubt ? that the Southern politicians are going to make a tremendous effort to carry the ] country at the next election." The Now York World inquires why it is that we, who furnished tho looms of England last year with 875,000,000 poundsof cotton, valued at 4136,952,187; who ore the equals of her population in industrious qualities; whose country has -industrial advantages superior to hers. ?are unable to compete with her in neu? tral markets in the sale of manufactured cotton goods? As the Morrill tariff in 1861 gave rise to our present exaggerated system of protection, and as since that date commercial prosporty has been far less pronounced in this country than it was during the previous decade, the inevitable conclusion is that our pro? tective system has proved an injury rather than a benefit. It is, therefore, assumed that with a more moderate tariff we would more rapidly become tho peer of England in manufacturing enterprise. If we enter into competition we must do so on equal tariff terms. The natural advantages are altogether in our favor, tin/ raw material and the con? sumers both being in our midst. The "Ibbepbessible" Aoain.?The ex Land Commissioner is once more on the war-path. He wants to know what he is charged with. We presume he can be gratified. Hear him: New York, June 10, 1875. Editor Daily Phcsnix, Columbia, S. C.: Please, call for the publication of the complaint and affidavits in my case, so that the people may see exactly what I am charged with and by whom, and whether on information* and belief. I can only judge of the grounds of com? plaint from the Associated Press de? spatch, to wit: "That I defrauded the State of a large sum of money as Land Commissioner. Hail $M0,000." Now, Mr. Editor, I know I did not, and some one has committed perjury. I am guilty or I am not. The peoplo want to know, both North and South. Political lying won't do. The truth is mighty and "will prevail. I am in the dark as yet, but I will oomo out. I stand on my own bot? tom, and ask no favors from any quar? ter. Some body is lying, that's all. Who i* it? You will soon seo. Let's have the complaint and affidavits. Yours, respectfully, C. P. LESLIE. Sacrifices.?The New York Sun has ciphered out tho exact amount that Grant has "sacrificed" by giving up his position of Goncrai for that of President. It finds that eight years' salary in the former office would have given him 8108,000, while eight years' salary as President, exclusive of perquisites, will come to $300,000, so that it would have taken him till 1801 to draw as much money on tho army pay-roll as he has drawn on tho civil list. When wo add about $70,000 for household expenses and such, not to mention th* railroad passes and presents, it seem u.s though wo had made it up to the General. There is an old lady living ten miles from Winnsboro, who, though sixty-two years of age, has never seen tho town.
