The howard orTrenson.

The whole population of South Carroll.
IA is 100000, of whom 29I,OO are white:
and ALP, 900 colored. If she is readmitted
into Congress on the Copporhead plan she
will be entitled thereafter to sir seats in
the House of representatives. This would
be one member for each $500 white in
habitants, while in Illinois it requires l25,-
600 for aseat in Congress. That is to say,
according to the Copperhead ideas of
Southern superiority, eight aristocrats and
forty "poor white trash (making forty
eight South Carolina rebels) are equal to
l25 loyal "mudsills'' of Ohio. On the
white basis South Carolina would be ell
titled to two representatives-with a frac-
ton over; but by including the eolored
people, he would be entitled to six. And
if they are all to be DISTINGUISHED, and
have no voice in the making of laws, why
should the rebels be allowed four seats in
Congress ON their account ? Is it right
that tho South Carolina rebels shall have
four votes in Congress, based negro popu-
%lation, to be cast against tho Republicans
and the North ON all national questions?

An American FinanclaI Agent in

An american FINANCIAL Agent Ah
Europe.
The statements of Mr.. Lanier, the New
York banter, in behalf of the Secretaryo of
the Treasury, have produced an admirable
efsct ,in inspiring greater confidence in
United States securities, which have stead
lily risen in value, not only on the CONT
nent, but also in England. The Paris cor
respondent of the New York Times re-
marks in regardto Mr.. Lanier that among
other important propositions which he will
carry home for the consideration of the
government S-one which has been long
urged in vain by the American residents
at Paris sand in other parts of the old
world hat is the appointment at Paris
'cfa United States financial agent, who
Shall DO an American, and whose duty it
shall be to pay the diplomats corps on the
continent, keep the accounts with them
and with the %consuls, dispose of Ameri-
gan stocks, and give Information TO gov
ernments and bankers on the condition of
home finances. Such an agency, it is be-
Ieved, would cost the government Moth
ing, because there are many bankers who
would be glad to accept it without remu-
Grafton. The money affairs ofour govern
Rient abroad are new managed by the
house of Barring Brothers, who are charged
with paying all our foreign debts, and
collecting all our foreign dues. But, in
addition to theirs, we need an agency
where every one can readily obtain infor-
nation on American financial affairs, and
can purchase government stocks.

A sketch of General Lonessreet.

A writer for Blackwood's Magazine,
who claims to have been on Gen. j. E. B.
Stuartt staff, furnishes that periodical
with some interesting "reminiscences of the
rebellion, from which we take the follow
ing:
had now the opportunity of closely OBJ
serving General Longstreet for the first
time. He was a stout man, of middle
height, and most agreeable eounteance +;
his long beard gave something ~leonine to
his appearance; and this was manifested
not less in his manners than in his dress,
which consisted, like that of most of the
leading generals of the Confederate army,
Of a black felt hat, a tunic-like gray coat,
much faded, IN the collar and sleeves of
which the devices Indicating his rank
were scarcely distinguishable, a pair OF
gray. trousers and military boots with
Mexican spurs; a small sword constituted
the whole OF his armament.
His GOODNESS in battle. his steady cour-
age, which wa displayed rather bv per
feet compOsure under, and serene indif
ference to the EXTREMIST peril, than, like
that of Stuart, in fiery charges and daring
emprise; his energy in the campaign and
obstinacy in the fight, and his strict obedi-
enee to orders, made him one of the most
useful, as he was always among the most
conspicuous officers in the Confederate
service, and gained him the full confidence
OF the army and its commanding general
Robert &. Lee, who used to call him hi.

A National Thsnksriyine.

The proclamation by the President, fix
ing the first Thursday in December as a
day for national thanksgiving, has attract
ed ~uafyersaI attention, and Win, we hope,
cesAmard universal eo1hpiiarcc. IN view
of the glorious things which God hath
wrought out for us from the horrors and
evils of civil war, III view of the restora-
tion of peace and the extinction of the
crimes of secession and slavery, it becomes
us Is a nation, to render thanks and praise
to HIM who has been with us through all
cur trials, and has brought us out of the
fire, purified and redeemed. We hope and
believe that the national thanksgiving thus
appointed may be observed throughout
the whole country, and by every citizen
who sincerely ~reiuaees in the success of the
Union and tie triumph Of Liberty.
In order TO the more .univer-
sal celebration of this National
Thanksgiving day we vonturc to suggest
to Gov. Anderson, rho has not yet issued
the usual proclamation appointing the an
nual State thanksgiving day, that when
that proclamation is issued the date of the
State thanksgiving be. made to cor
respond with that of the national one
The latter has, as our readers VIII observe,
been appointed for a day in December
instead of in November, in which, by a
traditional custom, all previous Thanks
giving days have. been held. But the
change is only a trivial one, and is prob
ably suggested by the Presidents dcsireto
have it occur after tho meeting of Con-
gresi, in order that that body might unite
in its celebration.
The proclamation of the President is, in
its sentiment and language, in the ideas to
which it gives prominence, and no less IN
those which IT omits to mention, very
nearly a model. The subjects suggested
as causes for Thanksgiving are precisely
these in which all loyal men can unite.
They are the cessation of war, and the
restoration of peace, unity, and harmony.
The President significantly adds to this
list of blessings the great enlargement of
civil liberty" thus reminding the people
of the South that the triumph of the Union
is in fact their Liberation and not their con-
quest. and that if they will submit grace
fully and eGsilyto the Federal government,
they VIII fndthat their civil liberty has
been grcstly increased by the result of the
late war.
The Precedent does not, as many have
hoped he would, specifically mention the
abolition of slavery as amoag the causes
of national rejOieing; but he refers to it in
a manner which cannot be mistaken, when
he calls upon the people TO remember and
confess their national sins. The great
national sin has been slavery; it became
the parent of the crime of secession; and
now both have fallen at once. 1t is fitting
therefore, as President johnson suggests,
that the national CONSCIENCE should be
again turned 20 the national sin, that not
only it, but all its traces, in tine shape of
p~rejudices against race and color, should
be eradicated forever, and that the grand
doctrine of the equal rights of humanity
should be recognized by the common
Judgment of the people.

The Duty OF the Clerk of the House of
Representative.


The Duty of the Clerk of the House of
Representatives.
As the day for the assembling of Con-
gress approaches, the various rays of in
terest are becoming gradually converged
until they meet in a focus at the Capital.
The first action of the House will be one
on which rests the future of our country:
it viii be the decision Of the question.
whether or not the late rebel leaders shall
be entitled to a voice and a vote in the
councils of the nation. With the first
blow of the Clerks gavel commences the
importance of the session, and for six
months the national excitement will all
gather around the hall of the lower House.
The loyal people of the land cannot con-
graduate themselves too much on the fact
that that post is to-day flledb by a gentleman
every thought of whose brain, and every
interest of whose being, is devoted to the
cause of the Union and freedom. Hon.
Edward Mcpherson, of Gettysburg, Pa,
is u man on whom the people can conf
IDENTIFY rely. Unlike his predecessor, En-
erson Etheridge, be does not hide beneath
the cloak of loyalty a sympathy for rebels
and a hatred of the North. He has been
tried in the furnace and found pure. We
are, therefore, not surprised to learn, as we
DO from a communication printed else
where in this paper, that when he calls the
roll of the House for the first time it will
contain the name Of no rebel or represen-
tive of rebels. The whole question of re-
admission will thus be left, unprecedented,
for the decision of Congress, and if we
cannot trust it in the hands of the large
Union majority in that body we knownot
where we can trust it.

THE cHoLBRA CONTAGIOUS.

DIR. Sayre, resident physician of this city,
said, in effect, that it was an object of the
meeting to have all the surrounding cities
represented in this meeting for advice and
counsel. New jersey, and every other
State in the Union, in fact, was vitality in
terested in the prevention of this epidemic.
His point was that the sanitary condition
of the city should be better than ever; in
fact, in a perfect sanitary condition all the
time, for preventing the creation of any
epidemic; but he believed the cholera can
not be generated here unless the contagion
is imported from abroad. Importing it
when the city is in u bad condition, and
thus favorable for the prOgation of disease,
would cause it to spread with great rapid
ity. Therefore we must not only keep the
city in the best sanitary condition posi-
Bile, but use unusual vigilance to prevent
its importation. He read a portion of the
report of DR.. Mullig, of Prussia, on the
present disease in Constantinople. The
report stated it was imported, beyond the
possibility of a doubt, and brought there
on the 2Sth of June in the frigate Mouch-
b~irisourouT, from Alexandria. The cap
tain having declared that none were sick
on board, and that there had been no
deaths during the passage, was permitted
to pass quarantine; but on the evening of
the same day twelve patients were sent to
the marine hospital. The surgeon of the
vessel then being questioned more closely,
admitted that between the Straits of Oar
danelles and Constantinople two patients
had succumbed to the cholera. On the
3Oth nine other cases were d~isembarked
from the same ship, of which two were
cholera. On July 9Th a case Of cholera
occurred on a vessel anchored nearest to
that on which the cholera was brought
from Alexandria. So, day by day, the re-
port showed, the cholera appeared on
nearly all the eorvettes anchored in the
vicinity, in regular sequence, according
to their proximity to that OF which
