Death of u Distinguishcd Man.

We regret to learn from the Orange
burg S0mhron of the death, on the
18th instant, at Walterboro, of Josiah
B. Perry, Esq, Solicitor of the
Southern Circuit. Five weeks ago,
Solicitor Perry was in this city, at
tending to his official duties connected
with the Legislature, and apparently
in robust health. He was an intelli-
gent lawyer, a useful citizen, ana a
genial companion. and his death will
be deplored by q large circle of
friends throughout the State.

SCARCITY OF CoTToN. 1T is believed
that, in the most hopeful view that
can be taken Of the cotton product of
1866, such a dearth of cotton will be
experienced this year as to raise the
price, before next September, to o
dollar pound. The Government so
far inclines to this belief that it has
suspended the sales of captured cot
ton in New York.

Negro Suffrage.

|
timore Sun says:
"Much speculation prevails in re-
gard to the ultimate fate of the free
negro suffrage bill of the House. That
it will pass the Senate is foregone
conclusion. It will pass the Senate
as it comes from the House by de-
cided majority. I notice that some
shrewd politicians hold out the idea
that President Johnson will veto it.
They assume this as a matter of policy,
because they are unwilling to suffer
the impression to be made on the
public mind that the President is
to cooperate with the radical majority
of Congress-perhaps also tempo
rary power, which, at the next cleo
tions, may be overthrown. Many
others believe that the President will
sign the bill, upon the consideration
that the District is not q State, but is
placed under the exclusive jurisdic-
tion of Congress, which body has n
right to legislate for the District in
every particular. There is no doubt
that Congress can legislate upon the
subject of the municipal government
of the District, and they will proba-
bly, follow up this measure by law
providing that the councils of the
cities, and the Levy Court, shall be
composed in due proportion of ne
groes."
Another correspondent of the SIN
says:
prominent radical Senators, much
to my surprise, say that the House
negro suffrage bill will pass the Sc
nate like flash. An inside Republi-
can says that the only amendments
they will make to it will be provisions,
in the way of penalties, for keeping
negroes from the polls, and things of
that sort. The latter is coldly
ironical view, with probably too much
of the spirit of truth in it. I believe
the President will veto the House bill,
if it comes to him, and I have no
idea that the requisite two thirds vote
could be got!in the Senate, if, indeed,
in the House, to make it a law under
constitutional provisions.
''The radicals seem intent on max
ing negro suffrage general, North and
South. If they are defeated in re-
spect to this District, then their
bitterness will be augmented against
the South and reconstruction. They
feel confident about carrying the
elections by the howl they can set up
to the effect that if the Southern
members are admitted, they, with the
Democrats, will go in for reputation
of the national debt. Col. Forney
announces that the issue is made up
for the country by the passage of the
negro suffrage bill by the Senate. Mr.
Wade made it q national issue
How much better for the negro and
for the white-for the interests of the
whole country-that this everlasting
discussion about the negro should
cease. It is impossible to tell what
further disasters to the nations pros
perity will ensue from this everlast-
ing agitation. The negro is free
the South has endorsed his emanci-
patton and the highest duty of the
white citizen, North and South, is to
aid him in reaping the advantages of
his new situation, by melting him to
habits of industry, economy and
thrift.

The Law, and tho Prophets.

It is related of one of the ancient
monarchs, that he made it the special
duty of one of his attendants to sa-
lutte him, every morning, with the
significant expression, Remember
thou art mortal" He rightly con-
cluded, that when mortals forget that
there is an inevitable day, and, after
it, an inscrutable eternity, the course
of their lives is likely to be such, that
they will be lily prepared to confront
which, unless aided by faith and grace,
the mind of man instinctively shrinks.
He wished to be kept in constant re-
membrance of the great fact, that he
was to die and turn to dust, undis-
tinguishable from that of the hum
blest helot in his dominions.
The people Of the United States
should be reminded every day, and in
every proper form, that the Govern
ment they live under has q Constitu-
tion-an instrument formed by great
and wise men, who had undergone
the trials and perils of q long and
bloody struggle, to maintain the prin-
ciples which it SO clearly enunciates-
principles fundamentally and vitality
necessary to the preservation of civil
and religious liberty; and they should
adopt it as a maxim, that their politi-
cal health and well-being requires
their public servants, in the highest
and lowest capacity, to observe and
rigidly adhere to the Constitution, as
the palladium, the very ark and cove
nant Of theil. liberties
When the people shall practically
forget that the liberty they prize is
liberty regulated by the Constitution
and law, and not the License of tenn
porary rulers, or temporary majori-
ties, they should know that they are
silently drifting out to sea without
rudder, compass or chronometer, and
will soon be engulphed in the raging
maelstrom of anarchy and lawlessness,
OF fast anchored to the dry-doclSs of
despotism. They are losing sight of
q fact, as essentially important to
their interests as free people as the
one which the royal mind thought
necessary to his safe conduct in life;
and the day when the Constitution
of the United States shall become
extinguished i'll spirit, and dead in
its letter, as the rule cf our guidance,
will be the date when there will begin,
i'll this country, q scene, compared to
which, the most hideous features Of
the recent civil conflict will whiten
into peace and innocence.
We still have a Constitution, and
let the people bear it ever in mind,
and take care that their elected law
givers and rulers shall abide by it.
The people should daily din it into
the ears of their public servants, and
erect some sign which shall serve as
perpetual monitor to themselves.
They should wear it in their ''heart's
core, aye, in their heart of hearts, as
they do iberty.-NashriAe Union.

BEHIND THE SCENES IN WAsH1NG-
ToN.-We learn from private advices
from well-informed source, that the
following Republican Senators may
be relied on, upon test vote, to sus-
tain the President: Doolittle, Nor
gan, Harris, Stewart, Cowan, Trum-
15sSSfS6n, Henderson, Anthony,
lame, of Kansas, and Lane, of In
diana. The Democrats, who number
ten In the Senate, will uphold him to
a man, which will give the President
q MAJ jority of one in the Senate. In
the House, the calculation is not so
favorable, but enough is now known
to satisfy all parties of the impossi-
bility of passing any measure over
the Presidents veto. This secures to
the Executive, beyond u peradven-
ture, ultimate triumph. Congress has
never yet been able to sustain, and
successfully conclude, any war with
the President which was begun with
less than q two-thirds vote. It is
expected that the admission of the
Tennessee dclegat;o On will be the first
trial of real strength, although the
radicals would prefer to make "negro
suffrage in tie District the question;
but the President is known to feel 4
great personal as well as State inte-
rest in the former issue, and it's
adjustment will be the conclusive test
OF friendship or enmity towards his
policy. -~Petersbmy Index.

construction, and to get them back
into Congress as soon as possible,
while the policy of the Secretary of
War and the radicals is to keep those
States out of Congress and out of

long as possible. If the Republican
party is wise, it will adhere to the
policy of Johnson and Grant, and
abandon the suicidal programme Of

In one Of the Presbyterian churches OF
New York the other Sunday morning, a
minister was officiating with all due de-
corum and solemnity. All at once he
began TO cut up queer antics, and sh0rrly
disappeared from public view, 70 the nc
small astonishmeIt Of his auditors. The
pulpit being a close one, boxed up on all
sides and the door shut, the people could
not tell what was going on. Smoke
arising from the pulpit gave assurance
that there was fire somewhere, and the
stencil filling the house, setting every
one sneezing and coughing, indicated
that there was more birthstone about the
pulpit than was necessary TO conduct an
ordinary service. The excited congrega-
ton learned after while that the min
lister was on fire. 1t seems that he car
ried in his pocket q lot Of lQGse meifer
matches, and they ignited and set him
on IRE. Assistance came and the min
ister was put out The whole thing was
ludicrous in thu extreme, and though the
service was continued, the sOlemnity OF
the audience was not as marked as on
some other occasions.
