SOUTH CAROLINA REDEEMED.

South Carolina according to the only inference which
draw from somewhat Opaque Columbia tele
gram, has signazed herself and given a striking Illus
traion OF the wondrous moral revolutions and muta
toas resultant from late war; by being the first of the
States lately in rebellion to accede to that cardinal pre-
requisite OF President Johnsons the restoration OF
unIon fellowship contained in the adoption of the
amendment to the national constitution aboshing and
forever prohibiting slavery throughout the country The
despatch alluded to announces that the constitutional
amendment was yesterday ratified in both houses of
the South Carolina Legislature with very little opposi
ton South Carolina has thus very sensiby and grace
fully without unnecessary delay taken step which will
enable her to be represented in the Congress- and
the avoidance of which would most assuredly have
closed tho doors of the national Capitol against her,
snce will be remembered that the President has here
tofore officially informed her Provisional Governor,

ast Friday that the adoption by their Legislatures Of

The MUSICIANS AND THE MANAGERS.
ing to the statements Of their own organs the
associated managers Of this city are all making
fortunes. That they should refuse, under these
circumstances, to pay their musicians the ad-
vance in wages requested by the Musicians
Association shows an amount Of hard-hearted-
ness--to call it by the mildest name-which is
perfectly astonishing. That the musicians are
quite right and the managers quite wrong In
the dispute between them the intelligent pub
lie have already decided. If the majority of
the press of this city were not controlled by
the associated managers this public verdict
would be most emphatically expressed. In
stead Of the musicians violating their contracts
with the managers, at least one manager has
violated his agreement with the musicians; for,
after promising them an advance in wages, he
broke his word at the dictation Of the Managers
Association. In asking for higher salaries the
musicians are only following the example OF
other workingmen. They are compelled 70
take this course by the necessities Of the times,
and should be heartily sustained. 10 fact,
the Broadway theatre and oil OF the
smaller aud fairer places OF amusement
are said to hava conceded tho advance

firmly to the Monroe doctrine but we pre-
sumo that he will judlciously leave the ques-
ton OF its enforcement TO the deliberations OF
the two houses, holding himself in readiness TO
maintain the doctrine meantime to the last
resources of diplomacy. From the Adams
Russell correspondence we can have but one
opinion of the views Of the administration 10
reference TO our claims against England. Mr..
Adams will be sustained in the message. From
the Presidents welcome to the new Minister
from Brazil we anticipate the recommendation
of more liberal and closer relations of friend
ship with the Independent States Of South
America, in view Of the common interests Of
all the nations Of the Western hemisphere,
against aggressive European coalitions.
On the all-important subject Of our national
finances, currency, debts, &c. We look for the
suggestion Of such measures Of Legislation rs
will be wisely calculated, in the curtailment Of
our paper issues, to avoid the perils Of too
rapid and violent reduction. II we have gone
to the topmost point Of imitation consistent with
safety our descent must be cautious, for in GO
ing down too rapidly we may suffer damaging
crash and rcvulsion. A thousand millions Of
national paper currency absorbed In the chan
nels Of trade cannot be suddenly Withdrawn
without violent collapse. We expect, there
fore, that President Johnson will steer between
the rock and the whirlpool ss the only course
Of safety for the ship.
His statement Of the work Of restoration Ia
the South, in pursuance Of his adopted pro-
gramme, we predict will be clear and conclu-
sive, and especially in regard to his policy Of
intervention in the matter of negro suffrage
His long experience among the Southern peo-
pie, and his intimate knowledge Of the relations
in which the two races Of the South stand towards
each other, may be brought TO bear upon the
question to some purpose. Consulting the
great ends OF peace and harmony between the
Southern whites and blacks, we anticipate from
the message conclusive vindicaiiou of b's

THE OYSTER TRADE.-The oyster
trade of this city is getting to be quite
an item. The Boston steamers on their
days of departure take from twelve to
fifteen hundred barrels; the New York
steamers quite as many, and the Phila-
deIphia steamers several hundred bar
reIs. The two lines of Baltimore steam
ers take daily about one thousand barrels
upon a fair average. The local packing
establishmentsare doing a much heavier
business than ever before. Capt. Edwin
Fitzgerald, so well and favorably known
throughout the South and West as a
successful packer, has made arrange
ments to fill any demand in the trade.
The natural facilities of this locality will
eventually draw all the Baltimore trade
to this point, as our advantages are
greatly superior and the prices more ac-
commodating.

DEATH OF r. MCCouRT.-The nu-
merous friends of f. McCourt, both in
this city and Richmond, will regret to
hear of his sudden death. He died at
his residence, No. 63 Bermuda street, on
Wednesday nightabout II O'Clock, from
a sudden attack of pneumonia. He
leaves his wife and children in a desti-
tute condition. Frank was open-hearted
and liberal toa fault, and his numerous
customers who are in arrears should re-
member the condition of his destitute
family and come forward at once to their
relief. Mr.. MeCourt was an old Crimean
soldier, and a good one. The first year
of the war he served as sergeant major
of the 18th Va. Cavalry, and was COM
plimented on more than n occasion for
his prowess in action and deXterity as a
cavalryman. His battle of life is now
over-may he rest in peace.
