Gov. Marvin, of Florida, has made
proclamation, restoring all civil
officers in this State Who were in
office in MAY last, giving them juris-
dlction in all matters as heretofore,
except in certain criminal offences,
which are, for the present, reserved
to the military, and reserving also, to
the Assistant Commissioners and the
Agent of the Freedmen's Bureau the
authority conferred upon them by an
act of Congress and by general orders
issued by the War Department.
SUCCESSFUL NEGOTIATION Colonel
Withers, Of Mississippi, General
Pemberton's Chief Of Artillery, dur
ing the siege of Vicksburg, has Just
returned from Boston, where he
spent several weeks inducing capi
talists to embark in cotton growing
and other speculations in the South.
He reports his efforts successful and
satisfactory, and that Boston capi-
talists generally prefer individual in
vestments to organized stockholding
associations.
The Indians of the plains are again
on the war path. A party of 200
Indians attacked a coach on Butter
fields Express route, last Sunday
week, near Downess Spring. Six of
the passengers and the express mes
senger were killed. The savages
afterward burned the buildings at
Downess Spring and Bluff Station,
together with large amount of other
valuable property.

The correspondent Of Northern paper
says: sat the close of the war there were
about 100000 bales of cotton in Georgia.
Of which seventy-fve per cent. belonged
to private individuals and the residue to
the Confederate Government and subjects
of foreign powers. OF this number sc. .oon
bales were shi oped North and to Europe
direct, leaving 10000 bales unsold and
waiting transportation. The United States
Treasury Agents have been nosing out
that belonging to the Confederacy, but
with very Indifferent success. The ac-
counts and operations, financially, of the
Confederate Government, anterior to the
administration of Mr.. Memminger, were
upon snch loose principle, that it was
hard to tell whether it owned a great deal
or nothing at all. And here it NAV be re-
marked, that one Of the prime causes
which led to the downfall of jeff. Davis
Government was the peculations Of its
quartermasters and other parties holding

his money here in the same way. These
cases might be summed up and enume-
rated indefinitely. They first caused the
people to lose confidence in the currency,
which was the entering wedge that split
up the whole concern"
The daily phoenix. [volume] (Columbia, S.C.) 1865-1878, 1865-12-09

The Secretary of the Treasury recon-
mends the contraction of the currency,
and says that he sees no way for the 1,ay-
ment of the public debt but by an increase
OF the income beyond the expenditures.
He recommends that the collection of
internal revenue to those States accruing
previous to the establish nent of collection
Offices, be indefinitely postponed, and that
sales Of property under the direct tax law
be suspended until the States shall have
an opportunity of assuming the payment
OF the tax assessed upon them.
