Very much la b*lo| Mid ik tb?M State* ia which Elections foW?p?^4a are pending, U to whether rotes Jm^l^'lb* (nyiqg nothing about " for " or " Convention) will be reckoned in the counting of hallota, or noc, It Ir onr opinion, that sueh votes will fot be reckoned. At all ayenta, in Sooth Carolina and In Rlge Held District, where the negroes. as regis tared voters, are so powerfully In the one Jority. It boots but little to argue the qnss tion. Onr beet policy It to Ignore this Isdieo in Mo. Whites and blacks cannot share political power. All history proves this Neither military nor civil authorities eani accomplish it. Repngnant to truth, to intelligence, to religion, it |t simply animpossibility. Better therefore to let the negro eee at onoe that we will not even at tampt to share power with him. Better a a - - - - - ?nl. li. I.... that he should Ue taugnv to r??iiw n.. ?uc position?to remain where God end Nature hare placed him. It it to be earnestly hoped that onr penp'e will eternly reject the teaahing* of all Rad'oals or half-way Radicals?that they will support the President and the Constitution ; that they will patiently bear this Military Government, which is really ephemeral; that they will persistently deny the dogma of equality: that they will never sanction the vile principle of Radicalism embodied in the idos of equality ; that they will ignore this Con ventlon; and ultimately save themselves from the horrors of negro juries, office hold, era, and miseegenetlon?infamy of infamies and eternal disgrace. We say tt//tme/#fy. for have we not high hope and evidence that Radicalism has well nigh reached the eternal, " Thus far and no farther!" It stands upon a eraler, and the hot air of repudiation is already rising through she crevices and shaking the ashes under its feet. Let these Radicals hare it all their own way now; and if in future lite frae and enlightened people of this Union hurl them uot from power, and if a coinpetent legislative or judicial authority does not repeal, modify or annul their vile laws, then will we at least have the proud and muoh.to-be-valued satisfaction of feeling that tec had no hattj whatever in bringing upon ourselves the deepest and most damned degradation. Washington, October 29. Mr. Dnvid A. Welles, the Commissioner of Revenue, is about to make his report npon the subject of taxes and tlicir colleetior, and propose an entirely new system of revenue internal and external. Mr. Welles' report will show that the present system Is onerous. exhnusting anil corrupt* the legislation or Congreaa lias invited and promoted corruption and the extent of revenue frauds, and the profits and support they receive will he fully exposed. Mr. Welles shows that the country cannot go on for anot her year upon the present loose and oppressive system without universal collapse and ruin of pub lie credit and ol productive industry. Out of eighty milliona of taxes collected it ean he shown, In ir.any Instances, that only eighteen millions reach the Treasury, or in that proportion. The universal corruption of revenue officers is n prominent subject of remark.? High public men of the dominant party in Congress advocate, and no doubt participate, in a system that abounds in profit as well as fraud. As soon as an officer is complained of or arrested for defrauding the revenue, the highest men in the Radical party and the lowest men in the Democratic party eome forward to support and relieve hins. Fraud is made easy by loo*e and absurd and corrupt legislation. The exhibi lions that will be made to Congress, will atartle the birds of prey that hover over or neatle In the Capitol. Will any reform follow ? That is doubted. The Radical maioritV will atlnnrosa inrMlisstinn n* In. nore evidence, rather than lose right, for one moment, of the cry for negro domination, which oan alone be relied upon to eaure their sway. Thomas Kwing, S?\, the veteran and lion eft Whig politician of Ohio, ha# oome before the public in'an appeal to the Conservative Republicans of the North to arrest the progress of Radical minritle. He advisee that Congress immediately retrace their foolish and revolutionary steps. He proposes that they instantly, at their meeting next month, repeof their Reconstruction Acts, and withdraw from the South their military force and all their party machinery. He warns them that this will be done, if not by them, then by their Immediate sueoebooth. This >s coming to the point.-? There Is no middle ground between despotism on the one hand, and constitutional liberty on the other.?Zeo, Wath. Cor. Charlatan Courier. New Tax Bill.?The Charleston Courierf of Saturday, says: " As South Carolina is now in the anomalous condition of a State, without a Legislature^ and as wc cannot, oven under the Reconstruction Acts, have a new State Legislature?for at least several months to come?to provide taxation to carry on the State government, General Canhy and Governor Orr are, we learn, engaged in concocting a now tax hill to earry on the Provisional State Government^ or the remnant of it that Is left. Assuming such to be the fact, we would em>>raee the occasion to urge on the General and the Governor carefully to revise the existing lax bill, and avoid the numerous errors r?Mimiil- .1, and tho gross injustice (lono, in innnj instances, by our late Legislature, in thu enactment of that measure." ?? mm ?- ' Peter Lorillnrd, of New York, who recently died at Saratoga, wm one of the wealthiest ten of the metropolis, lie leaves an estate, It Is said, worth $16,000,000. Thu Yaaoo (Miss.) Banner announces that Pan. Woolridge, a Conservative negro, will be a candidate fbr Congress in that district.

Convention or Ho Convention. r. Ok do not Ik* mkomimmUe fling," With fueling* of the Utmost kind nee* and good will t<? all men of the District, and ol :hi* Slate, wo muit again and again remlod them of tha ahoolute neeesei.ty of refusing to ondorao on tlioir ticket* *' for a Conventionthose who rot* on their ticket* " for a Convention," vote for the ratification of a negro government. Nothing *l*e ean he made out of it, twist t*. and turn It a* yon will. If the white people of the Stale were to rote " for a Convention," they would voluhtarily establish over them* elves, and their children, a government of ignorant negroes, there is no mistake, with negro majorities in three-fourths of the Districts, and two lhirds the registered voters negroes. People of the mountains I people every here! you will not suffer, we cannot be. Heve you will ever suffer, yourselves to be led by any party or league into surrendering yourselves and your children to the rule of the negro population. The white people of Virginia, and of Georgia, with a noble unanimity, as it were, have refused to vote u for a Convention," and thus by so do'ng. they vote against negro domination. Out o( one hundred and fourteen thousand white regietered voter* in Virginia, only fourteen thousand have voted " lor a Con rn;loa,n and if we include the diefranchiaed whites, we might set down at least one hundred and forty thousand whites in Virginia, as against the Radieel negro Convention and negro rule, and only fourteen thousand, or ono tenth of ths whites, in favor of it; and most of tlioss whites who vote for It, are not natives, hut adventurers and new comers, oflfloe seekers, and their dupes, who, like lluKKictrrr, of Richmond, are stirring up the negroes to Iheir own ruin, and to the injury of the wholv State, for the purpose of getting Uisir votes. Georgia, in some of her counties, has n*>t cast a single white rx4e for a Convention in others, only three or four or a few doxra and we are perfectly sure that if the pro. pie of this State and North Carolina were to "atop and think," there would he no body voting for a Convention, but the mere office seekers and thoss desiring to ride over the people by .tegro rotes. Lot every man remember that bs can vote for any set of delegates he pleases, and, at tho same time, vote " against a Convehtioi or do as they have done in Georgia, ntuoug white people generally, not rote at all, either Tor or against a Convention, ao that hia rote can not be eonnted in favor of it. 1V? hope the Convention o( white peoplo that meet tliin week in Colombia will agree upon some uniform plan of action for all those opposed to negro rule. Remember, we pray yon all tho people, thai in Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York alone, three Northern States, there are tneve-thaa one million of white votes oppoeod to nniveraal negro anlTrage and negro domination over the white people o( this State or any otbor Southern State; and can any of you voto " for a Conrention" to place yourselves under itwhilst millions of your fellow white men in in tho North are boecnchlng yon not to be guilty of such astonishing folly T We hope and would fain beliovo that there will Rot he exceeding ten or twelre votes for a Convention in Greenville Pistriet, out of a white rrjritlered voting population of twenty-two hundred ; the great meeting last Court week < n courages us to think so. We have eonfldeneo in the people. This is no pnrty matter. It wonld bo a small-satisfaction for any wbiti man to vole to put himself, his family and race, under tho negroes of Georgetown, Beaufort, Colleton, Orangeburg, Barnwell' v^uariosvon ana oiucr uistrict* of the middle ?n?l lower country for the aako of par'jr. Never ! Never!! The Court* ot Oreenvllle.?Judge Dawkins. Tlie Circuit Conrl heed all the peel week, and the District Court till Ft (day. TUe Session*, and the Inquiry, and Summanr Proceae Dock eta, occupied all the t m< w the Circuit Court. The Issue Docket was not touched. This was the flr?t nppearanee of Judge DAWKixsat Greenville, in his official capacity, and he impressed the Bar, and all per sons about the Court Hall, wkh a high opinion of bis ability. We hare never known a more unaninmua and decided expression of approval and commendation from the lawyer* toward any Judge, on hi* first visit to Greenville. All aecord to His Honor the possession of snp*rior judicial qualities, learning, accuracy, promptness, united with a just amount of patience, impartiality and firmness, with gentlemanly Cmirteav.

To Jndge from the lpramd views of hi* Honor ae to the proprh aty of speeding the action of the court, the obtaining or judgment and execatiena and general uln-rllf sale* a* soon aa possible after the war, would baro been a happy thing a, ilu h?.hl.

Tils Honor is now anxious, as much as in him lies to administer justice, and in his great aoal, or. ders an extra Court for Greenville. The Send will laugh at such justice, the justice of hurry- j ing the snfbrlSMltto actual pauperism. Now, the Judge is an npright, honorable man, and aets from a sense of?duty, no doubt; we bare freely expressed our high and sincere respect for him, but weean not honor a mistaken enthusiasm for rushing on the machinery of tbe law to the distress of the People, for the gratification of a rery small number of Plaintiffs. Herein we can say to tbe judge, in llyhernian phrase, 44 Had lock to yer Honor." Wt wish him good 'ack in erery thing but hia " Extra" proceedngs. ... We could giro many grave reasons, showing the impropriety of this extra Court, hut it is not necessary; the Judge had the power, and has exercised it, according to his views of propriety, and protesta arc of no avail. Wc think that something may turn up to prevent it, in theso times of powerful influences. We have, therefore, very serious doubts whether the fudge's extra Court will bo held, and we believe hie Honor must cuikk, in such doubts. However, as people were mado for law and courts, and not law and courts for tbe people, it is adjudged right that the strictest and law and most frequent courts should operate upon them. Tbat servant, who had no paticnee of a stay, who took, his fellow, who bad nothing to pay, by the throat, and told him " to pay what tbou owest," was for carrying out the law, forthwith, and his master was wrong for rebuking him. Well, wa supjsose it will all be tbe aaase, ia this world, a hundred years ibonee, hat we would rather appear, hereafter before tbe Great Judge with the consciousness, of not baring promoted the iArt>(ilittg system in this State. - Immigration.
