Gloomy State of Things In south
Carolina.

WASHINGTON, March l6.
The following extract was taken from
the report of the Freedmen's Bureau.
The Charleston planters are toning down
under the appalling discovery that there
are not negroes enough left to cultivate over
one-half of the land; and, furthermore,
they now see that none but negroes can
or ever will cultivate the rice fields. Prov
idence is working for free people vice the
pockets and hungry stomachs of their for
mer owners.
The Commissioner has Instructed the
collectors of Internal revenue In the South
ern states to collect the tax on all taxable
property leaving their respective districts,
and In case the duty on cotton and other
articles which may have been assessed Is
refused, after demand being made, they
will proceed to collect the same by dis
traint and sell property, unless the articles
are removed under bond, as provided by
the regulations of October 8, 1865. 1t has
been decided that the last so far as inland
navigation is concerned, requires the ton
mage tax TO be paid on the removal of the
papers, at the Custom-house.

| o DEAR! WHO'S HURT l--The Journal
acknowledges the unpopularity of the
candidates put in nomination by the Balm
Hoole-Schenck convention, but makes a
whining appeal to "Union men" to ,'sus--
tain the principles Of the party" what
those principles are at this time, we think
the public win be at a loss to determine.
Having lost its great idol and former
patron-saint, Henry Ward Beecher--he
having given In his adherance to President
Johnson's reconstruction policy-the Jour
nal Is at sea without light, save the fitful
glimmerings emitted by the fossillzed re-
mains of the Vienna Brigadier, and these
are as uncertain as the light afforded by a
''rotten mackerel In the moonlight"
But as general rule men are selected by
parties sor Office, who are known by the
public. to embody in an eminent degree the
principles on which the party was founded.
How Is 1t with valentine" the Bain-Hoole
candidate for Constablep We would be far
from alleging that he represents the prln-
ciples of the Republican party but he does
represent an element that prevailed In that
party to considerable extent during the
war. and which we hoped the party, for
their own sakes, now that the existing
causes are past, would ignore and condemn.
But when party surrenders its organizs-
tion to the control of political hucksters of
the Baln-Hoole order, they must expect to
be saddled with just such candidates as
and Turner.

AcQuITTED.-We noticed, few days
ago, the arrest of E. Z. Palmer and Stephen
Crane, of Hamilton, Ohio, charged with
the presentation of forged claims against
the Government under the Bounty Land
law of 1865. Mr.. Palmer at the time
waived an examination, and was held to
bail. The trial of Mr., Crane has been in
progress for some days past, before Com
missioner Halliday, in Cincinnati, and was
concluded on Thursday. At the close Of
the testimony on the part of the United
States, the counsel stated that the evidence
entirely exOnerated Mr.. Crane, whereupon
he was honorably discharged.
