7HE SO ULHERN S 7 A 7 ES. ALABAMA.—From Montgomery the news is to Dee. 2. The House has passed a bill repealing all laws prohibiting the marriage of blacks and whites. It is recommended that the rule be so applied that it shall be held binding evidence of marriage when a man and woman live together, and in which case there would be reformation in Alabama morals ; the House also discussed revenue bills and bills re gulating the collection of debts, and the Senate the Ku-klux Bills. From Florida the only news relates to the Governor's quarrel. The end of the argu ment in the Supreme Court, on Lieutenant-Gover nor Gleason's motion, urging want of jurisdiction, was a decision affirming the jurisdiction of the Court on December 2, on which Attorney Gene ral Meek offered a motion that the rule nisi t,e made absolute, and an argument on this motion lasted until the adjournment. The Senate of South Caro lina has decided that it has no authority to elect a Lientenantz•Governor in the place of Mr. Boozer, who resigned, but that the elect& must be by the people. The finances of this State, according to the message sent in by Governor Scott to the L?gisia ture on Nov. 30, are in an encouraging condition. The aggregate receipts for the six mon' hs ending Oct. 31 were $435,573, and the expenditures $409,688. The Governor asserts that no State in the Union has a fairer prospect of meeting her lia bilities than South Carolina. The land given by the United States Government, it is recommended, should be devoted to the establishment of an edu cational institution in Charleston, for instruction in agriculture and the mechaniell arts and the higher branches of science and the classics. A liberal policy in reference to the removal of political disabilities by the Legislature is recommended. Governor, Scott, thus alludes in his message to the the Ku-Klux : " An armed organization, styling themselves the Nu- Klux-Klan, uniformed and masked, by their secret meet ings and midnight atrocities upon peaceable and unoffend ing citizens, and obstructing the laws, have inaugurated a reign of terror in many neighbourhoods. Imitations of the secret societies of Europe during the Middle Ages, they are without their excuse of justification. In those days their power and their vengeance were directed against the turbulent nobles and barons who defied the laws and oppressed the people. Their object was the at tainment of justice, not the acquisition of political power. Their victims were not the law-abiding and the lowly, but the bold, bad men who trampled on right and outraged humanity. Their symbols were the dagger and the cord, fit emblems of their terrible authority and their mode of exercising it. But even in those days of rapine and mur der, the responsibilityof this dangerous power was deemed so questionable and hazardous as to le id to its suppres sbn. In the present condition of our State the existence or formation of secret political societies is greatly to be deplored. They will be objects of misgiving and distrust, and centres of irritation and ex&tement. Secrecy is but too frequently the covert of crime, and irresponsibility au incentive to its perpetration. Organizations will beget counter organizations, and dissensions and disturbances will be fomented and perpetuated to the interruption of the peace and prosperity of the whole neighbourhood. I trust that every well-wisher of peace and progress will dis countenance the further continuance of these secret politi cal cliques." The steamship line between Charleston and Liverpool has been put into operation, the first vessel, the Golden Horn, having rcently cleared for Liverpool with a cargo of 2,553 bales of upland and 188 bags of sea island cotton. The Southern papers state that a part of the cargo was in the shape of compressed bales, sent from Selmi, a point with which Charleston has heretofore bad no mercantile intercourse. The railroad system of the South, it is believed, will reach sections now inaccessible, and that Western products as well as the cotton crop will hereafter be shipped from Charleston. The Legislature of North Carolina when last heard from was engaged in dis cussing resolutions proposing to raise a com mittee on bribery and blackmail. Opposi tion was manifested, on various grounds, to the resolutions as passed by the Senate. No action was taken, but the resolutions will probably pass, and the committee go at once to work. The Mayor and City Council of Atalanta and Georgia have ordered the postponement of the municipal election until the assembling of the Legislature in January, taking the ground that negroes are not entitled to vote by the legislative law, granting the city char ter, and that the election is null and voil unless the present Legislature strikes out thewori "whi' in the city charter. The Democrats claim that the State Convention and the Reconstruction laws give the negroes the right to vote, the muni cipal laws to the contrary notwithstanding, and propose holding a regular election, allowing the blacks to vote, and leaving the Legislature t. de cide as to its legality. The Columbia and Au gusta Railroad is finished from Columbia to Greenville, ten miles from Augusta, where it connects with the South Carolina Rail road, and trains ran through November 30. The Advocate, New Orleans, has just published an expOsure of the Knights of the White Camellia, otherwise, the Ku-Klux, giving startling particulars of the purposes and objects of the organization. The state of the city and the district around for some time preceding the election is described as a reign of terror. Five hundred murders were com mitted within two months ; there was no protection to the peaceful and no hindrance or punishment to those who enforced opinions with knife and bullet. A correspondent of the Tribune writing from New Orleans, Nov. 24, tells the following stories : "As an instance of the state of affairs, two gentlemen, one the Chief Clerk of the House of Representatives the Hon. William Vigers and the other Minute Clerk called on General Rousseau in the midst of the excitement and asked him for protection, stating that they had trustworthy information that their houses would be visited that night by the mob. General Rousseau replied to them that he had not sufficient troops to give protection to them; but, in his opinion, if they would resign their positions, they would not be molested, as the Government was ob noxious to the people ; that it would be necessary to have 20,000 men to maintain the State Government, and that he did not intend to have his men killed for the sake of a few officeholders ; 'though,' said he, I am sent here to keep order, and I intend to do it at all hazards.' Another little incident about the same time :—A deputation of Democratic citizens from Algiers, which is in this Meoropoliten District., waited on the Super intendent of Police to inquire if they would be allowed to patrol their town for the protection of their property. Gen. Rousseau was present in the office. The Superin tendent referred them to him. The General replied that he knew of no law to prevent a man from standing guard over his own property, and that there would be no objection to such a patrol. Dr. Mackay, a well-known and respected Republican of this city, was present, and said to the Gene ral—' how is it about the coloured people ? Will they, too, be allowed to patrol their property ?' Whereat the General, after a slight musing, turned fiercely to the questioner and said—' Sir, you are one of the very class of tnen who are stirring up all this trouble." "Perry Puller, Esq., Collector of Customs, returned yesterday, and was welcomed back by his host of friends. I must tell you a story of Perry. Although a strong De mocrat, and in full communion with the ' chivalry' here, he has his full share of that sturdy Northern independence which so strongly contrasts with the servile gregarious /less of the chivalry. Perry, one bright day, forgetting for the nonce that h e was i n N ew Orleans walked down Canal-street, horrid to tell, with Gen. L. a loading Re publican. Not many hours afterward, two ' gentlemen of the other persuasion waited on Majote Fuller, and the fol lowing colloquy ensued :—' Major, we have taken the re sponsibility to deny a rumour the stre e t s w hi c h i s seriously affecting your ste:dding, socially and Politically ; and we have come to see if we did right.' What is it, gentlemen ‘• Why, it is currently reported that you wore seen `calking on the streets with Gen. L--.' That is true, gentlemen; I did walk with Gen. L —; and, what is more, I have received him at my house.' Then, Major, we must express our surprise, and assure you that such conduct Swill be extremely distasteful to our people.' Perry, rising about two inches in his boots, replied, 'Look here, gentle men ; I am as good a Democrat as any man in New Orleans, and I always expect to be ono ; but I have always boon accustomed to walk with whom I please, receive whom I please, and visit whom I please; and 1 intend to do so here. If anybody don't like it, tell them from me to go to h--11.'" The d;scussion as to the sate of Tex i=, which originated in the Daily News, has been transferrel to America. Flake's Bulletin, a Republican news paper, of Galveston, couplain3 of not being able t. make Ncrthern men understand the real stato things in Texas. It explain 3 that the country is so large and unsettled that in the wil.ler parts every man must be a law unto himself. " The revolver is the only executive, and a man's conscience, if hi has any, the only judiciary. Therefore it come€ that deeds of violence take the place of judi cial executions." . . . , 4 But this wild state of nature," the Bulletin goes on, " is taken advantage of by roving bands of outlaws," and these bands, being composed of " old Confederate soldiers," " naturally oppress, maltreat, and murder Union men and negroes. . . . . Let them murder a Confederate, and the public conscience would be outraged ;" but the political feeling of the people permits the murder of the'black or white loyalists. Besides these chronic murderers and pillagers, there is another excellent class of persons who inhabit the more settled portions of the State, and whom the Bulletin describes as " friends and acquaintances of the regular banditti," and " who will do killing on very small provocation, and, in many cases, without provocation at all." Finally comes " Galveston, and places situated like it"—and exceedingly few such places there are—where the negro has " every protection, privilege, and immunity that he has in Boston." A cargo of coolies is reported to have arrived re cently at Galveston, Texas. These unfortunate Chinese labour ers, it is stated, were consigned as merchandise with the ordinary bill of lading, and were to be sold at auction to pay freight and charges. Two-thirds of the coolies were females. FINANCING IN NEW YORK. (From the Anglo-American Times.) The swindles brought to light in London during and after the panic in 1866, although prodigious in the amount out of which the public were de- frauded, and horrible in the ruin into which hitherto prosperous families were plunged, yet evinced no originality, nothing upon which even an " Artful Dodger" could pride himself. They were grounded upon poor, mean, lies ; audacious in the openness of the falsehood asserted, and remark able for the respectability of the names by which they were guaranteed. By a double deed only and by a great reputation was OVEREND, GURNEY floated ; by acts which brought the Manager into a convict cell was the Joint Stock Discount broken ; by untruthful prospectuses, advertisements, and by puffing, did the Financial Companies, the _ . leading Banks, and other institutions succeed in gathering flocks into each Limited Liability pen from which each sheep emerged, however woolly and fat before, lean and miserable, clipped in many instances so badly as to be not only minus its wool, but having great scars, which showed where the shears had taken out its skin as well. We grant that the mode was effectual in wringing the life-blood from the people, bat so clumsy that most of the precious drops being lost few benefited, and those few in a degree wholly disp.oportionate to the fearful suffering caused. In New York there i 3 at least some grandeur and originality in sc ,un- drelism in the and ►city with which the plunderers defy all men—Mike s2ttiug at naught law and society, their own and their country's credit. In both, religion is the best guise; for he can cheat most who prays loule3t in public, ani bull's con- spicuous churches as advertising monuments of la's piety. It is only necessary briefly to trace the great Erie Swindle to show how New Yorkers sur pass Cockneys in ingenuity, in grandeur of con ception, and in boldness of execution. But, agiin, it is only necessary to relate this history to show that such proceedings would be impossible in London,---for, if villainy be not there secret, as- sunning the shape of conspiracy, society would crush it, and all concerned—while the lying prospec tuses, with their poor devices of rigging the Share Market would be impossible in New York, as American birds are not to be caught with such chaff. The Nation graphically tells the story :—A year and a half ago the fine harvest weather made every thing buoyant, raising the people into that hopeful mood wherein they bought largely for investment, speculating on the good tuna coming. Among other Stocks eagerly purchased was that of the Erie, and this was the occasion seized by the direc- Under the advice of an able but unscrupulous awyer, and, knowing the composition of the local ors. courts, without a shadow of legality, they issued and secretly sold fresh shares to an amount nearly doub ling the original Stock of the Company. The pro ceeds, ameunting to $10,000,000, became the sinews of their war ag host the public. Not only wa3 buoy ancy in Erie checked by the large sales, but prices so declined that dealers became alarmed, a feeling in creased on the sudden appearance of " the newly issued certificates in the exchange, about which offi cial inquiries were answered by the brazen-faced acknowledgment of the fraudulent issue, aceompa- uied by a diguisei threat that more were in pre paration. The fright was of coarse greil, and t'le further fall marked and immediate. Then thos-.t who got early information rushed in to deal, fol- lowing the example of the Erie Executive Com mittee, and many brokers and others pressed specu lative sales, selling short, as it is termed ; that is, shares for future delivery not then in their possession. A combination of " bears" are liable to be caught when they take this course, unless they can create a panic, and frighten the real holders of shares into getting ril of them at any price. An oversold stock has to be bought back for delivery, and the reaction upwards is then likely to be greater than the depression, particularly if it be well known among the shareholders that a combi nation is committed to deliver shares in large nuin bers on a certain d ty. By the National Bank Act it is obligatory on the National Banks to hold a reserve in currency equal to 25 per cent. of indebt edness. It was autumn, when the money market in New York is peculiarly sensitive, owing to the efflux of cash South and West to move the crops. The banks then lend to their utmost, and any draft upon their reserve compels them to call in loans to' re-adjust the proportion, for every dollar in their cellars represents three lent, and their power of helping trade is crippled in that proportion on the reduction of the reserve. Sales of Erie had reduced the price of stock from seventy in July to forty in October, and given to the directors a vast sum, which they distributed among the banks of the City. Suddenly cheques were presented for the 515,000,000 thus held, and the greenbacks were withdrawn at the critical moment from the Bank reserve. The effect, as the Nation says, was elec trical ; every bank saw its reserve in danger, but none could see the next step, while the mystery in which the operation was shrou led added to the terror its boldness inspired. Each, thought only of strengthening himself, loans were called in, and money became almost unobtainable, so those who had borrowed on stocks were compelled to sell them to meet commitments. Trade was brought to a stand-still, and money could only be procured on the best security, as high , it i s said, as a half per cent. per day. Merchants were cut off from bank facilities, and it was thought at one moment that the banks themselves must succumb. As in Eng land at such a crisis, the Treasury was compelled to step in with the declaration of the Secretary, that, if needed, relief would be forthcoming. But though this perhaps saved the crash of that delicate erec tion of civilization the financial fabric, it did not save proprietors from heavy losses. Railroad and other stocks fell in value by one-third or one-fourth, and holders in many instances had been frightened into selling at these prices. Even Government Bends had declined 5 or 6 per cent. in a day, and in Wall-street the prices of everything went down 10, 20, or 30 per cent. ; among them Erie had been depress2d to $35 a share, and it was in this panic that the authors of the mischief were enabled to buy back the shares they had sold, and many more, at an enormous pro fit, and thus Act 1 ended in a brilliant success. Shares in scores of thousands had been sold at high rates for future delivery, and not only bought back at h X the su:n, but the market had been place 1 in An advantageous position for investment to those .vho had money in hand and a knowledge of the :nanner in which th,l , panic had been brought about. But the Eric directors were not satisfied with half Ineasures ; as yet they had but played the We of ' bears," and everything was beautiful for Act 2, that of " bulls." Numbers who bad been narrowly watching the clique and acting with them imagined that the shares were worthless, and this impression being carefully fostered by the directors they went on selling while the emissaries of the clique were sec retly buying. While leading their outside coadju tors and others into the free sale of Erie for future , delivery they turned their attention to Gold, the THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 25, 168. _ COMPLETE LIOT OF - THE NEW Sternberg.

The greenback operations had pro- strated the internal trade of the country, now the gold operation interrupted its foreign trade. The price ran up 4 per cent. in two days ; 1 pclr cent. a day interest was paid for its loan ; the exports and imports, as well as foreign exchanges, were stopped, and many foreign merchants involved in heavy losses. Having effected this—a mere interlude—a sort of side issue, the commercial freebooters were ready to re commence their regular business on the Stock Ex- change with freak spirit and enterprise. By this time they had succeeded in purchasing nearly all the Erie shares in the market, aswell as the contracts of"bears"whoagreed to dclivercertain amounts at low prices, especially thoae of Mr. DREW, apitist whom - - as a former confederate, who had turned an enemy, they were very Litter. Delivery of the shares was claimed; an among them, from many foreign banking houses, who hal legitimately sold for constituents abroad, though they had not yet re ceived the shares from Europe. Now as most of the available shares were in the hands of the com binatien, the outsiders had to procure them in scores of thousan Is from the combination at 55 to 60, to be delivered to the combination at 35 to 40. The directors had first defrauded their shareholders to get the means of plundering others; having it, they next plundered all the legitimate investors, who thought that great railway a valuable property. Incidentally, they were enabled to sweep through the Gold Room, and at the ex pense of the foreign trade of the country gather up an immense profit ; but there still remained a class untouched—indeed who had shared the ill gotten gains—and down upon them they fell like an avalanche, crushing DREW and all the " bears" who had before acted in conjunction with them selves. In these operations the business of the country had been arrested for nearly two weeks, the banks had been brought to the verge of sus pension, the national credit had been seriously threatened, and the reputation of American in vestments had been damaged to such an extent that probably millions upon millons will be re quired from Americans to induce foreigners to aid in enterprises wherein a repetition of such conduct is risked. All this had been done without a man raising a hand against it except the Secretary of the Trea sury. The Nation says " that at length a wealthy foreign banker, Mr. BELMONT, had the courage to bring a civil suit against them," and the result showed the reason why no one had done so before. Mr. BELMONT is a man of great political influence, of great wealth, and of high character, yet he was almost overpowered by the combination, though he hal the cunning speculator, the skilled DANIEL DREW, to work with him, who, as an oil confede • rate, knew all their tricks, and was able to give crushing evidence in the courts. The injunction ob tained by Mr. BELMONT was met by a similar injunc tion which the clique had obtained against themselves, which appointed the direc tors receivers and custodian, of the funds, they were enjoined, from further misap propriating. Not content with this, as they had a judge and a court of their own, they procured an order authorizing the receiver to buy b Eck at his discretion on account of the Erie Railroad the whole or any part of the over issue of 200,000 shares at the regular market price, not to exceed par. Con sidering that on the last settling day, the 19th Nov., that the directors were overloaded with stock, this gave them a ready means of disposing of it. But the " lame ducks," which comprise almost the entire community, who flattered themselves that the burdna of these shares would yet break the backs of the successful speculators, had little idea of the resources still left to the Erie clique. What ever may be the manipulation in Wall-street the Erie is a magnificent railway, and the directors, entering into an agreement to lease the Atlantic and Great Western, commanded t he whole line from New York to Dayton, a railway centre in Ohio, border ing on Indiana. The PRESIDENT'S Report, issued on the sth inst., speaks in the highest terms of the company's future. Steel rails were being laid, of which 80 miles were already down. A third line to connect with the narrow gauge system of the West had been arranged. He concludes by asserting that when the public are fully acquainted with what has been done, the course of the present direztors will be highly appreciated, and we are neither prepared to dispute this (as that course has been pretty ac curately explained i❑ our remarks), nor his other as sertion that the Erie will be the most perfect line in the United States. The litigation has, as we anti cipated, got into a hopeless muddle. Mr. BEL MONT'S influence has been sufficiently strong, backed by the indignation caused by the enormous loss the community has suffered, to get a round robin signed by the dealers and brokers against trafficking in the shares until the public have the full assurance that no fraudulent issues can again be made. But bad as has been the conduct of the directors in using the power entrusted to them to defraud all parties out of vast sums, it does not follow that the Erie Rail way has suffered, and it is to this we especially wish to direct the attention of English shareholders. The directors in charge of their property may be very unscrupulous men; they may, in furthering their own selfish interests, have struck a villainous blow against the security of American investments ; yet it is clear they have been wonderfully success ful, and in that success we cannot see injury to the line itself. The shares have been manufactured and kicked about in Wall-street as a foot-ball, but the directors have thereby swept into their pockets huge sums while recovering all the fraudulently issued shares. We do not seek to deny tl:at the share holders are shown to be at the mercy of a set of conspirators, that theirproperty was in imminent jeo pardy while the Erie battle raged, but now the risk is only in future operations, which mayor may not be undertaken, not in the past, wherein the directors gained a complete victory. They may estimate for themselves the dangZr, but if the writer held Erie shares, as things stand at this moment, he would be very sorry to press them for sale. W hat the Erie executive intend to do with the enormous plun der they have piled up remains to be proved, but those who take it for granted that they will, if they can, make victims of their shareholders, do so, we think, without sufficient warrant, for, but one coarse re mains to them to save even a shred of character, and that is to satisfy the shareholders that, how ever unjustifiable their management, it vtas in a arse mcasure taken in the interest of the property.

The American colony in Paris will be amused, although some of its members may be indignant, at the remarks of .the Paris correspondent of a Loudon paper called The Press and St. James's Chronicle. It is well to know what people say of you, as with ignorance and malice, there may be truth ; we there fore reproduce his remarks, as it will give those al luded to, an opportunity of reading them, which they never would have had so long as confined to the journal in which they appeared. Our Own cor respondent in Paris, as well as some members of the American community there, may have a few words to say in reply, for it appears incredible to those not habitually mixing in the gay and wealthy circle which constitutes American society in Paris (many members being leaders iu their own country among the most sensitive and proud) that they could thus act, except in rare and isolated cases. All Eng lishmen allow that there is no snob on earth equal to the British snob, and no American presumes to deny that snobs spring up like mushrooms among themselves. It is, therefore, not impossible that transactions even as idiotic as those described may have taken place, but where the correspondent of the English paper is ignorant and malicious is in his generalities, nor does he even know where a Yankee comes from —or what the States are whose citizens are proud of the designation, who ever affects to repudiate and despise it. "..ince the cessation of the war in the United States there has been a large influx into Paris of Yankees of the ' shoddy persuasion.' At first they appear in excessively new garments—hats, boots, coats, neckties, chains, rings—all are new—new ! This wears off, and then they are distinguished 133 their eager efforts to get into society. Nothing pleases a Yankee more than to speak to a live duke or a live lord, whilst to approach a live Prince fills him with ecstacy. The means by which most of these people strive to gain admission into ,he charmed circle of society is by toady-lug some individual able to introduce them and able to re spond for them. But as it is not always easy to get hold of such an inlividual willing to be toadied, some of them have recourse to very singular expe dients." This lively correspondent's experience of human nature differs widely fioin ours as regards titled persons willing to be toadied, a number we held to exceed that of Americans willing to toady. The reverse has been hitherto ascribed to the Yankee character, but Paris way develope something new, or this smart correspondent may calculate the dif ference at six of one, and half a dozen of the same. But it is instructive to learn the Yankee tricks to get into society. "Three or lour, for ex ample, have coolly sent invitations to dinner or bait to people of position of whom they . knew no thing, their hope being that in the number a feW would. accept—a hope not unfounded, seeing that certain French people are willing to go anywhere where amusement is to be gained." Poor Shoddy alas to what depths you have fallen ! " Persuasion'' is indeed the true word to apply to you. Think Of scouring Paris for stray barons and counts on whou 2 to practise the wiles of dinners and balls ; think of the unbounded Itepublican impudence of teniptiog these hungry aristocrats into such company by tbe o device a donkey boy employs on his ass—" a feed. " Others have succeeded—Heaven knows hovi- -111 inducing some battered old women of rank, it is true , but beggared in purse, and not intact iu reputation s . to invite their (the old women's) friends to thei r (the Yankees' houses) to be entertained at their (the Yankees') expense, subject to the condition.' understood, but not expressed—of allowing th e said " Yankees to be presented to them." 'Phis too rich not to be rehashed for our Paris readers; it will furnish some innocents with a mystery to uh" ravel, and set them to discover who the old wo men, beggared in purse and reputation, are. Th e more knowing will be supplied instead with 0- 3 fine a specimen of a British snob as they are likely to find after a protracted inquiry. Thei r Yankee tricks will be read at home with as much surprise as interest. We had no idea of the verdant nature of the "Yanks" who cross the Atlantic, nor had those who remain in New Eng" laud. We dare say the Californian, the Southerner, the Westerner, are all included in the correspon dent's term " Yankee," though few of them have reached suc!i a pitch of refinement. The good Nevi Yorker, when he dies, goes, they say, to Paris and we suspect that it will prove these ghosts wil° are endeavouring', through these women, beggare d in purse and reputation, to be reintroduced into the "world."
