Some Of the consequences.


A correspondent Of the New York
World gives the following as the result Of
the abolition Of slavery in South Caro-
lima:
The termination, by oyder Of President
johnson, Of the issue Of millions Of ra-
tons weekly (paid for out of our over
burdened treasury aud giving much profit
to sundry loyal negroes) to the lazy
blacks, is developing great difficulty in
the way of paciiying the South. These
negroes will not work SO long as they can
steal; and already they havl begun the
systematic plundering of the. white. peo-
pie on the plantations. There is no safe
ty from them except in the garrissoned
cities and large towns; aud those who
know their character best, declare that in
the cotton, sugar and rice growing FOR
tions Of the South, they will attempt to
drive the whites entirely out, except from
q few large towns on the seaboard. 10
make matters worse, a bitter jealousy is
springing up between the negroes and
m~ulattoes, and the scenes that have been
enacted at, St. Domingo threaten to occur
on an extended scale in our midst. There
can, therefore, be no settled state Of So
ciety at the South-no resumption Of bu-
siness pursuits-no safety Of property or
person-until the question shall be set.
tied whether the whites or blacks are to
be masters Of the South. If the latter,
you must mike up your mind to admit
black men as representatives in Congress.
You must prepare to witness q general
exodus OF the Southern whites, to escape
black violence and black domination-a
large army will be necessary to preserve
Order--thc richest part Of the South will
be a waste--thc resource Of our country
will be seriously crippled.

Progressive.

The Legislature Of Michigan passed q
joint resolution to submit TO the people,
at the fall election of 1865, an a amend.
ment to the Constitution allow negroes to
vote. The New Hampshire Statesman,
a leading Republican paper, says "ne.
groes are better qualified to exercise the
right OF suffrage than the ignorant Irish
and stupid Germans F"-ignoring the fact
that the ignorant Irish and stupid Ger.
mans" to q great extent, fought the hun
dreds Of battles which have eliminated
in the suppression Of tho rebellion Now
that the war is ended, and substitutes are
no longer needed, organs of the domi
nant party are %traducing the Irish and
Germans and placing negroes above them.
Certainly the Irish and Germans ought
to support such a party.
