The CosTs OF THE WAR TO SOUTH CAROLINA
In bank stock lost, bank bills deprecated, in
surance companies reduced to bankruptcy, rail-
roads broken up, houses, fences, 3D., destroyed;
In rebel scrip and securities unredeemed
in the losses Of merchants; in the conisca-
ton Of estates; In the losses Of cotton, horses,
cattle, hogs, &C.; In hard cash, silverware,
household furniture and farming implements
gone; in bad debts; in the prostfation Of all busi
ness affairs, and in the depreciation Of lands,
the Charleston Ne,os sums up the losses Of South
Carolina from the war at the round figure Of
$3.50, 900 900; and puts down her loss Of four
hundred thousand slaves as equal to
5000, 100000 more-thus sweeping away three
hundred and fifty millions Of the four hundred
millions worth Of property in the State in 1860.
This Is the price which South Carolina has
paid for her patent right and her costly ex-
pertinent by force of arms Of Southern con-
federacy under the sceptre Of King Cotton. and
resting on the corner stone of African slavery.
AT this rate Eve thousand millions would hardly
cover the losses Of all the Southern States In
volved in the rebellion. No wonder that the
whole concern collapsed like an ovcrblown
bubble with the surrender Of General Lee No
wonder that the suffering Southern people,
from Virginia 10 Texas, are anxious, like the
prodigal son, 10 got back homo. Surely, az
communities, those desolated 6tates have
ceased to be objects Of wrath and have be-
come objects Of charity. forbesreqoe and CON

THE TRIAL OF JEFF DAvIs-SrATE RIaHrs.-It
apipears that JEFF Davis is to be tried before q
UniSed States Circuit Court, In the regular way,
and pvobably at Richmond, Norfolk or Fortress
Monroe, under Chief Justice Chase. Davis will
be tried fsr treason which the federal consti-
tuition declares shall consist "only in levying
war against the United States, or in giving aid
and comfort to the enemy" Of course this
means the levying ofwar, &C., by a citizen or
citizens of the United States. Arraigned mder
the charge of treason, an thus defined, whatde-
fence can Davis make? We dare say that he
will fall back upon the defence Of State rights,
and upon this plea, among others, that among
the reserved constitutional rights Of the States
is the right of secession; that in exercising this
right the States forming the late league of the
socalled Confederate States were constitu-
tionally Withdrawn from the Union; that they
thus became, by virtue Of the constitution Of
the United States, an Independent confederacy,
over the inhabitants of which the government
OF the United States had no longer any authori-
ty; that their subjugation has been that of
separate and independent people, and that
therefore JEFF. Davis, as the President of the So
called Confederate States and Commanderin-
Chief of their armed forces. can no more right
fully be punished for treason than could the
Emperor or President of Mexico, with the SUBJ
jugation of that country and its annexation as
conquest to the United States.
Preposterous as this plea may appear, we
expect that it will be seriously put in and
argued in behalf of Davis; and although there
may be no doubt as to the decision of the
Court, 1t will be decision of the highest i'm
portance; for it will, doubtless, be made so
broad and so clear as to establish the national
sovereignty of the United States, and the metes
and bounds between the rights of the States
and the powers of the federal government,
while the federal constitution as it is shall
continue the supreme law of the land. In this
view we presume that Davis will appeal from
the District Court to the Supreme Court of the
United States, which, in this event, will I'M
questionably seize the occasion for compre-
hensive settlement of this South Carolina
fallacy of State rights In all it's rebellious
ramifcations. Thus the trial of JEFF. Davis, in
putting an end to all these insurrection breed
ing distractions, will be proper winding up
of the affairs of his demolished confederacy,
founded on the South Carolina theory OF State
rights.

A RAILROAD Reform TIoKEr.-We have urged
the Democratic State Convention, to be held on
the 9Th of September, to make the subject of
municipal reform one OF the great issues at the
next State election. Now let it also take up
the subject of railroad reform, throw over
board all the old railroad fossils that have
chung upon its back and around it's neck, like
the Old Man of the Sea upon the back Of
Sinbad the Sailor, for scores of years, and come
out plumply for railroad as well as municipal
reform. A ticket formed on this basis will
sweep the State like whirlwind.

GRUsDLrNa AT THE CONSEQUENCES. Is re-
ported from Texas that the condition of the
frontier from Indian ravages was never 80 bad
as at present. This, Of course, Is an inevitable
consequence Of the acts of the Texans When
all the frontier posts we're occupied by United
States troops sent to protect this very frontier
the Texans assisted to cut the throats Of the
troops and drive them away, and now they cry
out for protection, and bemoan the condition
they brought upon themselves. The South
Carolina farmers do the same thing, in another
way. They are losing their crops because
they cannot get laborers to harvest them The
darkIes have no faith in their promises, and
this, of course, Is the natural result Of the
former conduct Of these men towards the
darkeys. These are difficulties that Southern
men have brought upon themselves. and in
which they will get very little sympathy.
