AN OLD FRIEND WITH A NEW
FACE.

Mr.. Benz. Rhctt communicates to The Charles
ton Neus and commends plan for regulating
the relations between the Freedmen and the
Whites of the South, which he says is substanti-
ally that adopted by Louis Napoleon for French
Guiana, and has proved very satisiactory-to
the Whites. Hear him:
"The plan ia as follows: Er,ry friedman, deptHdent

whole State laid out into districts, each district has

who have tried the system assured Col Roman that II
had proved equally effective and far more agreeable
than Slavery"
MIR. Rhett ought to rub hi eyes sharply, so as
Cf possible) to rub them open, in order that he
may see that this is the year 1865, and that the
next in order, now close at hand, is certain to
be 1866. What he proposes is the replacement
of Slavery to an individual by Slavery to dis
trict or commune. A Black man, under his
system, might be able to make $500 year by
hiring and working land, by buying and drlv-
ing a team and wagon, yet lac would be pro-
hibi,ed By law from so doing; he might be
offered 1875 per month by planter living

The Fullertons and DuGleys are not all dead.
A certain Gen. Tillson presents himself as a
candidate for public contempt, and sets forth his
claims in the following address to the freedmen
at Athens, Ca:
That they must not consider themselves the eqnsls
OF the white man. ard that they never coud be- that
they had right vote aud that, though they wers
free freedom imposed duties which If lo; faithfully per-
formed. their condition might be much worse than 10
ever was when they were slaves"
We protest against the Federal Treasury
being put to the eIpenseIof TiIlsOn. There arc
plenty Of ex-oyerseers and slave.driyers who
vii do his work for nothing, or take their pay
in Confederate notes.

us that the anti-Slayery gentlemen now engaged

so unlucky as to be resident. dozen
planters, owning among them all the land in

Black laborers living therein work Tor them al
So per month, and every one Of those iaborerS
would have to take this or starve outright, siace
they would be precluded from looking elsewhere
for employment. If they asked permission to
leave, "the magistrate" Zone of the planters
of course) would refuse it; ifthey went without
permission, they would promptly be seized by
"the police" and brought back to their 50 per
month. The bloodhounds and revolvcrs might
be kept in allegiance for year or two; but they
would surely reappear; and NEGRO dogs
would soon be advertised as Of old.
We assure Mr.. Rhett that "system' VIII
be devised and enforced that prevents oppres-
sion on the one side and license on the
other" (or the same;) but he has not hit it. Let
him be patient, and listen to what Congress may
have to say.

The American Frcedmcns Aid Commission
issues an appeal, which we heartily second, for
contributions on Thanksgiving Day and all
other days, for the relief Of destitute and suffer-

in Georgia alone; forty thousand more in
Alabama. Timely and generous aid conld

The N. y. Times, under the head OF /" Re-

speculates extensively as to what may or may
not be done in the case of North Carolina and
other States recently in revolt, concluding;
1T is possible for Congress to embdrass Tie Prcidn,

We protest against the whole tenor of this
paragraph as at war with the genius of our
Government and the spirit of the Constitution.
The American Congress is no satellite, no

it is the American People acting through

of the majority will desire and aim to act in full
accord with the President so far rs It's sense of
duty will allow, and that, if any diycrgcncy Of
its convictions from his shall be manifested by
its action, it will be impeled by no wish TO
"embarrass the President" nor other unworthy
motive. Such calumnous implications should
be carefully avoided, with every word calculated
to embitter and inname. Let Congress take
care, first to be entirely RIGHT; then rs nearly in
accord with the President rs it may be without
sacrifice Of principle or derelicticn from duty.
