EMIGRATION AND PRorEcrIoN--There Is a
great cry raised now and then about the
necessity Of protecting American manufac-
lures, and the representatives of various
manufacturing interests are continually putting
in their claims for protection in behalf Of this,
that and the other branch of trade. Now this
question of protection is being settled by the
vast increase of immigration. From all parts
of the world we are receiving ct the rate OF
about five thousand month skilled laborers
and mechanics from the factories Of England,
France and Germany. Thus we are importing
all the protective tariff we want With the
experience of these classes and an enterprisng
investment Of capital we will be able not alone
to protect our manufacturing interests, but to
compete with foreign manufacturers in quality
and cheapness. This is the proper kind ofpro-
lection, for it will benefit the whole country,
and not the interests merely Of few clamor-
Gus monopolists.

usufper, then 80 was Cinclnnatus when
he returned to his plough, and so was
Washington when he rebuked the conspirators
who would have made him king. Some rad
zeal organs spitefulfy refer to Mr.. Johnson as
tan accidental President He is more truly
providential President He comes to carry us
back to the early days, tho simple manners,
the sturdy honesty, the purer public morals Of
the republic. During the war we had beer
carried too far towards military despotism-
By the exigencies of the times our laws were
literally construed, our President was invested
with imperial prerogatives, our Congress was
made omnipotent. Those exigencies passed
and peace restored, We may gratefully thank
Heaven that we have now President who
can divest himself and his Office Of these extra
ordinary powers; who can insist that other
officials shall again conform to the most rigid
interpretations of their duties; who can
voluntarily restore to. the people the
rights and privileges of which they were tenn
porarily deprived for q certain definite object
now fully accomplished, and who oan refuse to
accept new opportunities for personal and po-
litical sggrsndizement, even when Congress
presses them upon him, as in the Ffeedmen's Bu-
reau and the Civil Rights bills. Few men are 90
truly great; few republics have been blessed
with such President. That our politicians
cannot comprehend and appreciate his motives
is not singular; for their characteristics are en-
tirely opposite, and his conduct is constant
and singing rebuke to their corruption and
rapacity. But Andrew johnson has craven his
fame upon the hearts of the people, and there
he will find his full recognition and reward.

against the unlimited powers of taxa

Jurisdictions that arctic be established

EDITOR SoUTH CARoLTNIAN The
extracts that follow are highly curious,
not to say, interesting. Possibly
some of your readers may like to see
them. They are taken from the ninth
volume of "Spark's Life and Writings
of Washington"
Washington to Lafayette-"l8th
September, 1887. The Constitution
sOas signed yesterday. 1t is the result
of four months deliberation, to be
fostered by some and buffeted by 9TH
ers. What will be the general opin-
ion or reception oft, it is not for me
to decide. If it be good, suppose it
will work it's way if bad, it will re-
coil on its trainers. My best wishes,

liberty of sending you a copy of the
Constitution, which the Convention
h as submitted to tho people of these

once discover the good and exception

the difficulties which have ever arisen
when attempts have been made to re-
concile such variety of interests and
prejndices as pervade the several

offered had been more perfect; but / sin

circumstances, is in my opinion de-
sirable. From variety of concurring
accounts it appears that the political
concerns of this country are, iii man

nothing had been agreed on by that
Convention, anarchy weuld soon have

"THE INDIAN WaR."-Under this
heading the Washington "Tribuno
Bureau" man writes us follows:
G The following important order was
to-day issued by the Secretary of War.
One thousand Indian scouts will be

mediately, to serve with the following
commands, viz: Lieutenant-General

Halleck and Sheridan, 200 each.
It is the. understanding that these

of Generals Sherman and Sheridan to
protect officers in charge of the Freed
