lnes seem to me that 1 can su' very
little, not already known through the
public prvxb, to the whole reading
'(community.
li is well known to the world that
ten of' the Southern States have been
coin on them. There never has been
before such a wide field opened for the
demagogues and unprincipled aspi
rants to olli.'O. The negro is tho most
credulous being in the world, und most
stripped of every vestige of republican easily imposed on by vile wretches
liberty, and placed, by the wicked and
uncoiisliluuonal legislation of a Jindi
cul Congress, under a military despot
ism, for paitiiuti purposes. It is
equally well known that negro con
ventions have been ordered in all those
States, for the purpose of establishing
jn them m-gro supremacy. In order
to accomplish this, a very largo por
tion of the most intelligent, virtuous
in. J patriotic of llio v. bite race have
been disfranchised, and are hereafter
tJ be governed by their former slaves
and unprincipled adventurers from tho
North, J These lads aro well known,
and their consequences every intelli
gent miud may well anticipate.
When slavery was abolished in the
Soulhuru Stales, if the people had been
let alone in their State legislation and
restored to the Union, all would have
teen well. They would soon have
recovered from their exhausted and
ci uslied condiiion, nnd been once more
; t.u)ipy and prosperous people. They
uouij have added bundle Jsof millions
imtiUaliy to the wealth of the republic
instead of costing it, as they now do.
a hundred million every year, through
the freed men's bureau and a standing
army. But the unjust, unconstitu
tional and suicidal legislation of Con-
ross has paralyzed them forever, I
fear. 'The negro is no longer that
.Illustrious, useful and civil laborer
which he once was, but an idle drone
nnd pest to society. Inflated with his
new and marvellous political import
ance, he has abandoned Lis loruior
iiidustrioiis b u In t h and spends his time
in attending public meetings and loyal
league gatherings by day aud by night,
'i tie whole race seem disposed to quit
their work and resort to the towns
nd villages, v. here they may eke out
ifcn kilo and wretched existence in pil
fering and begging.
The consequence are that onr fields
and plantations are uncultivated, the
'Country pauperized, at the point of
starvation, and filled with every grade
of crime. Not a day pusses over our
lieaUs that we do not bear cf some
theft, housu-burning, robbery, rape or
.murder. I will mention one or two
in-l.nieesout of thousands which might
bo enumerated : Five negro men, last
Week, iu Darlington district, went,
armed wilh guns, to a country store,
robbed filestore, killed the clerk, shot
a woman in the house, and went to the
dwelling ot the owner and killed him
who aro disposed to pander to his
ignorance and passion. J-iiiisshiios
from the Xorth, white und black, have
come hero and prejudiced him against
the white race. Ho has been told
that unless he voted the Kadical tick
et he would be placed back in slavery,
and that if he voted that ticket ho
would have lands und mules given him.
In some instances tho negroes actually
brought with them bridles to tako their
mules homo with.
By military order in South Carolina,
negroes nro to sit on juries. In some
of the districts of this Stalo the negro
population is so much larger than the
white that they will compose almost
llio entire juries. How it will bo pos
sible to administer justice, wilh such
juries, in complicated cases, is more
than I can tell, i am equally at u loss
to know how the oflices of tho State
are to be filled. The ''iron-clad oath"
excludes from oflico all who arc com
petent nnd worthy. This difficulty
was foreseen by (ioneral Sickles, nnd
ho requested ot Congress the removal
of the oath. General Meade has re
cently suggested tho sumo thing in
Georgia. It will bo impossible for
tho negroes and the worthless whites
to fill sonic of these ollk-cs, or give the
socurity required b- law.
Property of all kinds, and especially
real estate, has depreciated in value
onc-hulf or two thirds during the past
year. Xo one is disposed to purchase
anything, nnd lorcign capital has been
driven out or deterred Irom coining
hero lor investment. IVopcrty sold
by the sheriff brings nothing. The
marshal of this State told me the other
day that he sold a plantation, well
improved, containing two thousand
acres, in Horry district, at public auc
tion, to the highest bidder lor five dol
lars. Mules brought only five dollars
apieco.
A great many persons aro moving
from tho lower country, where there
are so many negroes, and that section
of the State is destined to become, a
wilderness. The same thing must
occur in many portions of Mississippi
and other States. A gentleman jusl
returned from Mississippi tells mo that
lands, which rented last year for four
teen dollars tut acre, wero now offer
ed at two dollars per acre, and no one
would tako them.
Unless there is a reaction at the
North, and better legislation for the
Southern Slates, they will bo an incu
bus to the Union, utterly destructive

Wo extract the following from tho
speech of lion. Allen G. Thuriuan, the
newly elected United States Senator
from Ohio, delivered at Mansfield, O.,
on tho L'lbt instant :
'I say to you now, my friends, as I
had tl.o honor of saying to you back ot
this court house last September, you
mnst refuse lo pay the bonded debt of
this government in any other way than

agreed to pay it in gold, pay it in gold.

the staple, has rendered it impossible me,,t ever t.romiW to nnv h,fi, ,i
for the planters to continue their busi
ness tho present year. The difficulty,
t "(), ill ceding the negroes to work
'aring the past year has discouraged i

otton crop was planted fust spring. I
;d a great effort was mado by the.
i jsn'.ers to retrieve their fortunes und
ire employment to the negroes, but ;
(iversal failure nnd bankruptcy hnve i
. i sued. I am not able to state thr:
ing oft of tho cotton crop this year, :
' I the rico crop bus fallen irom' one j

merit ever promised to pny their prin

promise to pay in gold, but the princi
pal never in anything but what is the
legal tender ol tho country. There is
not a man who hn pointed otst a stat
ute that promises the five twenty bond
holder that be shall be paid bis princi
pal in gold. He bought his bonds wilh
greenbacks when greenbacks were
worth not more than thirty three or
forty cents on tho dollar in gold, and it
is simple impudence on his part to say
"I gave forty cents fur these bonds, but
the eovrrnnicnt shall give me a hun
dred." We will be just, nnd n nation
is just when it fulfills ils promise It j posted. However, ho laid her out, nnd

There is no exaggeration iu these
statements; if any thing, they fall short
of tho bitter truth. Nor is it suppo

Thad. Stcvinn i Stationery.
During tho debate in the House of
Representatives on the deficiency bill
the subject of allowance lor stationery
tomcmbersof Congress came tip, when
Mr. Miiynnrd, of Tennessee, proposed
that nil members should bo allowed to
draw whatever stationery they needed.
.Mr. Stevens objected to this. Ho said
"that plan had been tried And had to be
changed because some members pro
cured under the nnnio of stationery
pantaloons und shirlsand shaving soap
enough to last them for years. Some
members had run tip their nceotint for
stationery to nearly a thousand dob
lars." The conclusion that puntuloons
und shirts and shaving soup are sia
tioncry, to which some of our sapient
Congressmen came, is about as sensi
bio and honest ns thn conclusion they
have ciiine to thai the negro should be j
made tho superior uf the w hile num.

The democratic parly was organ
ized in 1 mho, and came into power in
jsui. i illi Uriel intervals, it contin
ued in power up to 1MH. during all
this time no nation wus more pros
perous than this; no pooplo more
happy ; no government less burden-'
some. Ta.es were lighter than nny
other government in the world ; labor
was heller requited, und political and
religious liberty was more univorsully
enjoyed. There was union between
States, and happiness nnd prosperity
among the people. When bad men
sought to destroy the Uiiion,their first
blow was ut the democratic part-.
They only hoped to .accomplish this
through tho defeat and destruction of
that party. Py dividing its counsels
they secured its defeat. That was seven
years ago, nnd what liavo wo to day ?
A broken I nion ; ten ot llio States
under a millitary despotism, (Kilitieul
and religious liberty a by-word ; the
burdens of government more crushing
than those of any other on earth ; la
bor is remunerated with depreciated
promises to pny, nnd the necessaries
of life are at famine prices ; crime Iihs
increased ten-lold, and vice is clothed
in purple and fine linen ; tho food wo
eat, the clothes we wear, the Collins
which encompass the last remains of
the deud, aro all taxed to tho last
point of endurance and what have
we gained ' Aofnri? Jnfiiiitvlj worse
than nothing. Is it not time that the
memory of the glorious luture ? What
the country wis, tho democratic
party mado it ; what it is, is the work
of the enemies til the pari)-. Is it not
time that tho people begin to reflect
upon the necessity of restoring thnt
party to power, and with it, restoring
the country to both national and in
dividual prosperity ?
