QUALIFICATION FOR OFFICG IN SOUTH OAh-

ton Democrat: have consulted tue Con
stitution of South Carolina, and l 1inG that
I was right as to the qualification of voters
but that no man can be elected to the House
of Representatives Of that State unless he
has freehold of Three Hundred acres OF
land and ten negroes, or elear yearly income
of Seven Hundred and Fifty dollars and
that no one is eligible to her Senate, unless
he has clear yearly income of Fifteen
Hundred dollars, and if he resides out OF
the district in which he is elected, Five
Thousand dollars. 1t will be seen, there
fore, at a glance, of what material the Leg
isIature of South Carolina is composed. In
that State, bank stocks, rents and negroes,
are the substance" and virtue, patriot

GRAVES OF THE POOR.

Gus avenues, crowded with the graves OF
the noble and the rich, we turned our steps
toward that portion of the cemetery dedi-
Gated to the poor. 1t is in striking contrast
to its aristoeratic neighbor. There are no
monuments here-no stately columns-no

President Davis.

Eminent as JEFFERSON DAVIS is as states
man, he is also beyond all doubt one of the
first military men Of this country. Some Of
the Northern journals have the justice to &C
cord to him great powers as General. The
Cleveland Piaindealer styles him ga genuine
son of Mars" The Bangor Democrat says:
whatever estimate Republicans may place
upon the character OF Jefferson Davis, all
parties know and agree that he is not a man
of bluster and bluff, but Il man OF terrible de-
termination, who means what he says, and
whose resources Of mind rise in grandeur in
proportion as the difficulties by which he is
surrounded increase. He is one OF those very,
very few gigantic minds which adorn the
pages OF history, of whom IL may Do SAID -
''Drr perate courage makes one n majority. D"
The latent powers of his soul and intellect

Take Care or the Volunteers famihes'
w, honor Vice President STEPHENS for his
Recommendation to tho community to take
care Of tho famiiies of the volunteers. Many
Of these volunteers have wives and children de
pendent on their daily labor, and that means
of support thoy have nobly given up for the
defence Of the State. We hesitate not to say
that eitiseus Of means who do not Ien Their
pursee, and aid in proportion to their ability
In ,uppsrling the families Of those who are
fighting thoir battles. are enemies Of the coun-
try, aud deserve the loathing aud execratlons
of all honest men. Lock at the noble ex-
ample which such men as Bruce, of Halifax,
and many other Southern gentlemen Of wealth,
are setting. That is an example which all
,,en of property will initiate if they have
carts. Or, in tho absence of hearts, are
guided by intelligent selhshness. The wal
Of the Revolution could never have been
Achieved by tho sword alone. The open
purses Of a generous people were "the sinews
Of that war" Whose battles is the soldier
eyhting? Arc they any more his own than Of
tho,s who remain behind? We heard th,
other day of poor volunteer, whose family
had literally not half a dollar to provide fol
,ho;r wants. Such cases need only be know
TO DO remedied. There arc hosts Of generous
people Ia our community who only need t.
know that such facts exist to apply the prope
corrective. But there ought to be no excep
tions. Every man Of wealth ought to pou
out his money for tue common cause as freel,
As others are pouring out their blood.

Perhaps no citizen Of Virginia has mort
thorough pracIica. acquaintance wlth 'he
proper locations for Il sy stem Of tortnicatiohs
for Richmond, than that excellent surveyor
aud Intelligent gentleman, Dir. miffLis LApI ,
OF Henrico. He knows every loot oi ground
around Richmond in all directions for twent!
miles, and in the pursuit of his profession has
traver.ed it all Till the whole is as familiar t.
him as tho streets of Richmond to the Oldest
inhabitant. Evory avenue, from turnpike to
q sheep path; every water course, pond and
swamp; every forest, grove and bush, are as
we'll known to him AS the letters Of the al ha

various means of natural defence, which, by
the aid of military art, can render 1t impreg

The London Press.

II the Yankee Government were not given
over to judicial blindness, it would SOC, from
the explicit tone of the English press, that the
Interests Of that powerful Government are deep
~ involved in the Southern cause, and that it
is not likely long to remain apassive spectator
of event.. which may vitality affect and perhaps
utterly ruin those interests. We have little
doubt that the English Government will utter
~ refuse to be shu, out of it's friendly ports on
this Continent by paper blockade, or indeed,
under the circumstances, by any other. The
Interests of the Sonth, and that of England
We again say. are one and the same. Indeec'
even in the Revolution, it was rather the cause
of New England than her own that brought
Virginia 10 the battle field, and such was again
the case in the war Of 1872. Nor has the
South ever suffered such wrongs from the Brit
ish Grown as from The Yankee tyrants.-
We trust the day is not far distant when thu
brilliant folds Of the Confederate Flag and o
that Red Cross that L" for thousand years ha
braved the battle and the breeze" will float TO
rether in fraternal harmony.

The Canadians do not respond with alacrity
to the appeal of their Yankee neighbors for
laid aud comfort" They scout the idea of
their recruiting in that quarter, and in re-
spouse gently remind the adherents of the
United States of a certain recruiting event on
their side of the line during the Crimean war.

Lincoln's PriyateerS.

The London Standard aptly characterizes all
the private armed vessels that LINCOLN is en-
ploying to enforce his blockade, as "priva
teers." This is excellent. They are rriva-
tsers, and no such blockade, the Standard say 81
will be regarded! Now, the whole [, 5. Navy
can only turn out about thirty vessels and all
the rest are privateers. Moreover, according
to L,scoLss late proclamation, privateering
is piracy, to be punished with death, and there
fore the British cruisers, as well AS our own
authorities, will be justified in hanging these
fue fellows wherever We catch them.
