SPECIE PAYMENTS New York
Times, noticing the rumor about Mr.
McCulloch's intention to urge an
early return to specie payments, says
there is no foundation for it, and
that neither in the Presidents mes
sage nor in the report of the Secre-
tary of the Treasury will the idea be
suggested. The Times remarks, and
very wisely, that we may more rea-
sonably look for an increase of ma
tional banks than more rapid
reduction Of greenbacks than four
millions per month, the amount au-
thorized by an Act of the last Con-
grcss.

Immigration and Emigration.
The National MteIigeacer says:

It is stated by telegraph that q
ship-load of German immigrants
have arrived at Charleston, S. c.,
while at the same time vessel was
loading at Charleston to take out an
accession of blacks to the colony Of
Liberia. This is an interesting spec
tacle, and suggests food for thought.
Whites to this country, blacks to
Africa-the two tides running in pre-
cisely opposite directions across the
great ocean.
We feel the deepest interest in and
sympathy for the colorcd race in the
United States. We wish all that is
possible done for their true happi-
ness and advancement. The spirit of
the age demands it, justice and hu-
manity require it. But the most
expedient course to pursue in this
regard is not SO obvious as some per-
sons suppose, We confess that we
do not see our way clear to the high
est degree of happiness OF the black
race mingled in large masses with the
whites. Many think it would be to
the real advantage OF the blacks If
IiicJ COh1'l p'i LOCATED somewhere III
one cr more Of the West India
Islands, orin Central America, where,
under the protection Of the United
States, relieved from the depressing
prejudices Of caste, they might ad
vance to as great happiness and pros
perity as possible. But, waving this
point, we realize that there never can
be stable peace in this country until
the colored race are made entirely
equal before the law in regaad to civil
rights. It is desirable that, after
long and injurious agitation, the
South should spontaneously do this.
1t is the interest, the highest inte-
rest, of the South to treat their
colored population with the utmost
hberality and kindness. Immense
consequences undoubtedly depend
upon this. In this regard, we are
happy to say, very advanced steps
have already been taken. The South
must not be Africanized, but the
colore4 element should, and doubt
less will, be kindly and justly dealt
with.

tions as they formerly were, have
watched attentively the course of
legislation at the sessions of the va
rious Southern Legislatures. More
over, every one must know by this
time how universally all this has been
acquiesced in and approved by the
Southern people. No people has
ever been more unanimous in any
thing. 1t far exceeds the unanimitv
of the South at the opening Of the
war, and exceeds even the unanimity
of the Venetians in declaring for
union with the Kingdom of Italy n
few weeks ago
We think that in these few indis-
putable facts, there is conclusive
answer to the oft-repeated charge
that the South is still contumacious-
that its rebellious spirit is still un-
conquered, or that it still indulges in
the hope OF regaining what it lost by
the war. Whatever may be said
about other matters, we are sure that
from these charges the South must be
acquitted upon the evidence it has
already furnished. And in acquit-
ting it Of these charges, we neces-
sarily assume quite another style of
dealing with it from what we should
adopt if they were true 1t is on the
assumption of their truth that the
more violent radicals have been able
to gain such successes as they have
met with throughout the country;
and we are satisfied that no more is
needed to secure the just political
claims of the Southern States than
that the people of the North should
apprehend the facts as they really
exist.

INTERESTING DECISION. Judge
Giles, of the United States Circuit
Court OF Maryland, in the case Of the
jackson Insurance Company, Of Nom
phis, Tenn, IS. James A. Stewart,
has decided that "private interests
are protected and bona .fde contracts
made before the breaking out Of .
war are suspended during its exist
ence, but revive at its termination. !"
The action was on q bill of exchange
drawn in Memphis in February, 1866,
at sixty days, on James A. Stewart,
payable at the Farmers and Planters
Bank in Baltimore, and accepted by
Stewart, but protested for non-pay-
nent April 26, 1861. The plea of
TIE statute of limitation was put in,
but the court affirmed that the statute
did not run from August 16, 1861, to
June l3, 1865, the dates of the pro-
clamations of war and peace Dur
ing this interval, no interest was
allowed, but judgment was given for
principal and interest exclusive Of
this interval. al.-Notional Lqteliqeucer.

From, South Carolina.

A Charleston correspondent of the
New York Times, after referring to
the political feeling in this State,
thus refers to other matters:
A dozen movements are on foot. in
various sections Of the State, for the
erection of cotton factories, by which
it is hoped that each neighborhood
will ere long be able to send the royal
staple to market in an at least par
TALLY manufactured condition. Not
withstanding the prevailing poverty
of the agricultural classes, the more
substantial planters, by clubbing
their surplus means, have been able
to begin the construction Of factories,
and, in the course of the next year
or two, it is expected that the amount
of capital invested in the cotton
manufacturing interest hereabouts
will have become quite considerable.
The preparations that are in progress
for the planting operations of the
ensuing year are of q very extensive
character. There has been q visible
improvement of late in the DISPOSE
ton of the field negroes. They are
evidently beginning to comprehend
that freedom does not mean q com
plete immunity from labor; and the
large majority of these poor ignorant
creatures are rapidly following the
example long ago set them by the
more intelligent and provident of
their number, in seeking to make
advantageous yearly contracts with
the best employers they can find.
The planters have not been slow to
notice the increased alacrity Of their
late slaves, and taking heart there
from, they are extending their plans
far beyond what they deemed prac-
ticable three months ago. If the sea-
son be moderately propitious, it is
more than likely that the crops, next
year, throughout this entire section
of country, will be at least as good as
they have ever been in the most pros
porous times.
The present crop proves to be much
better than the terrible drought of
August and September led the plant
ers to expect. Cotton, it is true, is I.
decided failure; but the corn and
other grain crops have turned out
surprisingly we'll, considering the cir
cumstances of the case. The rice
crop is really splendid, and, at the
prevailing enormously high price, will
go far toward enriching all who have
planted. The only difficulty is, that
too large q proportion Of the best
rice lands on the coast have been suf-
fered to lie idle. Ex-Gov. Aiken has
harvested a very large and valuable
crop of rice on Jehossee Island.

"A special Washington despatch to
the Cincinnati Comnaerciol, says:
The movement of leading Demo
cratic newspapers in the East and
West in favor of impartial suffrage
has caused q decided sensation in
Washington, especially among Off

impartial suffrage in preference to
ratifying the constitutional amend

says South Carolina prefers it to the
