The Fr Omen Of South Carolina.

The Washington Chronicle, of June 18th.
says, Gen. 0. Q. Howard, commanding Blu
reau Of Refugees and Freedmen, has received
very important letter from Gen. sax.on
Commissioner of the South Carolina Free,.
mems Bureau. Very satisfactory reports have
been received as regards the islands along the
coast. Some 1900 colored children attend
school regularly. Some 10000 freedmen are
industriously az work cultivating promising
crops, Sea Island cotton being cultivated il
Considerable quality. From The smaip.D the
reports are not SO favorable. Not far from
Summerville, s. O., the freedmen are tarriblv
oppressed-worse than in state of slavery
They have been sent to work ia chain gangs
and often shot down without proyocation -
Bodies of murdered freedmen have been found
IN inc woods, butchered by guerillas, who have
banded together, under oath, to kill every
i aole-oodied freedman found off his plantation
We question very much whether stats

power over the State.

The Herald on the Suffrage Question

The Herald on the Suffrage Question.
80 The New York Herald has never been ac-
cused of being overburdened with humanita-
rian ideas, or mere sentimentalism, nor has it
been suspected Of any negro-worshiping pro-
clivities; yet in recent number 1t says:
I'VE would give the suffrage at once to four
classes of Southern negFoes.J First, and en-
phatically, to every negro who has borne arms
In the cause ofthe United States; second, to
every negro who owns real estate third, 10
every negro who can read and write and,
fourth, to every negro who had belonged to
anyreligious organization or church for five
years before the war. These points would
cover every one that ought to vote and they
would insure In every negro voter 4 spirit OF
manhood as well as discipline, some practical
ehrewdness, intellectual developments. and
moral consciousness and culture. It is well
worth the consideration OF the President
whether something like this should not be in

This, coming from the source It does, indi-
Gates progress. With the negroes admitted to

they would soon present strong front, and
become power that would be pretty efsc-
tnal guarantee against such evils as their
barbarian masters have precipitated upon the
country. Apply the same qualifications to the
~AoIe population, thus making no distinction
on account OF color, and the strongest objec-
ton to the proposition would be rem ved.-

!. Treatment of the late Rebel States.

The Hayerhill, Mass, Gazette has an excel
lent leader on the general subject of recon-
struction and free suffrage, from. which we
make the following extract:
We are totally opposed to feconstructiAg
every State with a rush, trusting to negro
votes to build up the fabric OF constitutional
liberty. Such voting in such States as the
would be hazardous, disastrous, and proba-
bly, ruinons, and this war which has cost three
thousand millions of dollars, and the blood OF
thousands, will be thrown away for the theo-
ny that they are always States, aud caussecure
their old rights the moment they throw down
their arms. ee @ szz4 y = Ss1aAlS
Let the power of Congress hold rebel States
in firm grasp, and the executive arm secure
the victory we have so dearly won. 1t cost
too dear to be thrown away. Ii within ten
years such hotbeds Of rebellion as the CARROLL
mas and Virginia, with such negro suffrage as
Congress may from time to time provide for,
and all the education that can be Impaired to
blacks and whites In the meantime, can be
made fit to administer such republican gou-
ernnaent asthe constitution requires the Unit
ed States. to guarantee to every State, it will
be quite as soon as can nationally be expected
Ifonr government slackens its grasp, after
all it has cost, aud permits unrepentant rebels
to reconstruct, without holding saiutary con-
troll for years, we shall have lost the golden
opportunity to plant republican liberty in the
strongholds of despotism we shall have shown
! ourselves able tosconquer by an almost super
human power, but totally UNFIT to Improve the
UictOrN.

!. The Anglican Church in Canada.

DIR. Strachan, the Anglican Bishop of Toronto
is almost 90 yesrs old and yet is wonderfully
vigorous and clear headed. His duties have
become too snerous for q man of his great age
and hls friends are aware that he cannot con
tinue much longer TO dischargethem. An as
sistant or successor must soon be chosen, and
the Clergy as Al natter of course are some
what excited on the subject, and many candi-
dates have been named ii butt seems the men
are scarce who are qualified to fill the. place
of the venerable Bishop. No one stands pre-
eminently above all the restgso as to com
lmand the suifrages of a large section of the
Church. One or two are distinguished for
ability, but are also known for their strength
ofopinionss They are either too High or too
Low. The clergy Of the diocese, Of Toronto,
to a great extent care High Church, just as
the diocese of the London are Low, and here
miles the trouble The present Bishop can
only be described as High Church. He was
carried away By the Puseyite movements, but
he has q large share Of good sense and dis
erection and thereby has retained power and
popularity.T0A hna n0fsafmm0D

Tbs Alabama Claims.


The Tory party and their organs have ex-
erted themselves to excite the fears and ap-
prehensions of the people OF England that
our government has been very peremptory
and even savage in its demands for damages
caused by that piraticaI craft, the Alabama.
Tories seem anxious to impress on the English
mind that war will inevitably grow out Of
these claims. The London correspondent Of
the Toronto Globe thinks that Lord Palmers-
ton has not acted in the matter with that per-
feet good faith which might have been looked
for In SO eminent statesman. When the no.
BILE Lord was Intercepted on the subject he
should have had the grace to give an explicit
answer. This correspondent says:
'ssHis first reply lent q little color to, the
original statement, and his answer TO the sec
ond inquiry was scarcely more satisfactory.
But Mr.. w. e. Foster, who lacks neither cOur-
age nor determination, was resolved to extort
a statement which would prevent all further
cavii; and Mr.. Lanyard, whose proclivities are
not quite so anti Northern as those of our vet
eran Premier, was able to explain in very
few words precisely how matters stood, and to
extinguish those sinister rumors which, from
frequent ittIdtiou, ndu peSuu w Hasc tnSH oi-
feet upon the public mind The truth Is, that
no new demand has been made upon the En-
glish government-no implied threat has been
written or uttered-no untriendlyl tone has
been introduced, into the controversy by An
drew johnson or his Secretary of State. Mr..
Adams has simply addressed dispatch to the
Foreign Secretary, putting in claim for ad.
ditional losses inflicted by the Alabama but
this dispatch is merely one OF a series oil
formal documents of the same kind which
have been deposited in the archives Of the
Foreign Office during the last two years. The
American government still adherss to the
very reasonable proposition they made some
time ago, that II the two powers are unable to
arrive at mutually satisfactory understand
ing with regard to the Alabama, the whole
filtration of a friendly State" 90
