Voluntary Government.

ltappears hard for the people of the
South to realize their true situation in
relation to the Government of the
= United States. Some men and some
papers are cautiously touching upon
the question as to the propriety of
adopting the Constitutional Amend
ment, and appear to doubt whether
our Legislature should do it or not.
Now it is just as well for us to put
aside this sham independence. We as
State have no more power to effect
anything positive by Legislative action
than we have now to secede. We are
just as completely under Radical con-
troll as the buoy is under that of the
stormy sea. To talk about checking
Rodical aggression and power either
by doing or not doing on our part, is
all farce. They are masters Of the
situation and all we can do is TO do
their bidding so that it matters little
really whether we adopt the Constitu-
tional Amendment or mott will be
adoi ted, it will become part and
parcel of the Constitution which is to
govern us. South Carolina may or
may not be one of the States to do
this, we do not believe she will, and
we would much rather she should be
one of the nine States which need not
act at all in the premises, for the
twenty-seven others are sure to adopt
that amendment However unani-
nous then we of this State may be on
the question, there is but one side to
it, and our people may just as we'll
look into the provisions of that amend
ment for it is going to be part of
the supreme law Of the land, ali our
tastes to the contrary notwithstand-
ing.

A Heavy Tax.

The tax upon the cotton made in
Fairfield this year will perhaps be in
the neighborhood of sixty thousand
dollars, about three dollars per head
for every man woman and child in the
District, white and colored. But in.
spite of this spiteful tax we would not
have our District even attempt to fol-
low those wiseacres who tell us not to
plant cotton because it has tax upon
it by the Yankees of three cents
pound to seven and eight cen is a
pound will be time enough to ad wise
about short crops of cotton. In the
meantime, if several hundred thousand
dollars can be turned loose in the Dis
trlct, even at tax cost of sever
al tens of thousands there is no use to
try to kill the first on account of tn c
last. We believe our farmers and
planters are all able to take care of
their own interests.

WHAT Russians THINK OF, AN Al

w HAT RUSSIANS lHINK OF, AN AL
LANCE WITH THE UNITED STATES. A
correspondent of the London Times
says: The value of an alliance be-
tween Russia and the United States is
being discussed by the Russian papers
aprop6s of the recent fraterniziug at
st. Petersburg and elsewhere. The
Moscow Gazette says
"No alliance is possible for Russia
except one with the United States Of
America" !"
Another Russian paper, the Golos,
otherwise an opponent of the journal
name, is quite agreed with it upon this
matter, and proceeds: ., ..as
"Where are the allies of Russia in
Europe I? Nowhere. Then let us
seek them in America, and conclude
holy alliance like that which Mr..
Fox, IN the name of his Government
spoke Of the other day" ,.SE
Asto the desire of the. United
States to secure a naval station in the
Mediterranean, the same paper says
"The nearer the time approaches for
the dissolution of the Turkish Empire,
the more do our interests d demand that
part of that Empire thould revert to
the United States: When the. latter
possess naval station in the Mediter.
ranean, the American flag will be able
to prevent the fleets of Western Eu-
rope making a forcible entry into the
Black Sea, while our Baltic fleet will
protect American interests in the
North of Europe"

s BRGzIL.-The Emperor of Brazil,
who, as we have said on a former oc-
casion, is very clever and enlightened
gentleman, is expected in the United
States before agreat while. Such of
our friends as have Brazil OH the brain
should possess their souls in patience
until his Majesty's advent, when they
may possibly obtain important infor-
nation in regard to that country,
which could not be readily. procured
through any other source. While
every one has the updeniable right to
elect for himself in the matter, we are
apprchensive that emigration to Brazil,
like emigration from this country to
Mexico, will result, in a majority of
cases, in disappointment and misery.

The hate reform demonstration at
NJ; n chester, England, was a ssmonster
meeting" affair. Mr.. Bright made a
very able speech. He was severely
personal to Lord Derby with regard to
his political career, and asserted that
if the people of Old England we're
drunken. ignorant, demoralized, and
unfit to be. intrusted with the fran
chisc, as alleged by the governing
class, they had become so from the
effects of an aristocratic rule which
controlled all the powers of the State
for centuries ;.for the people of the
same stock were moral, educated, hap
.py and exercising the franchise in
New England, under another form of
government.

"Disagreeable, as the prospect may
be, we are forced to conclude that, |
without any power in us to control the
tide. of events, we are drifting slowly
back into the Union on the basis of the
Constitutional Amendmeht,. and that

ent anomalous position when we are
represented in Congress by men who
can take the test-oath, and when our
State Offices are filled .Sby men. who

In throwing out this cautious s'fecl-
er' of public sentiment, does our con-
temporary wish to have it understood
that it is not the duty of every journal
ist in the South, who is true to her
people to make at least an effort, to
stem the tide, and depounce the infa-
nous swindle that has set the current
in motion p Carolinian.
1t is stated that the Bank of France
was never so encountered with riches
as at the present time. There are
now in its collars to the value of seven
hundred millions of francs in gold,
specie, silver or jewels. This abun-
dance has resulted from the war in
Germany. The amount sent by Ger
man bankers and others number 200
millions. The King of Saxony sent
ten millions of forins. The cellars of
the bank are so crammed that the
bank is compelled to refuse to receive
any valuables which occupy so much
space, 1t has happened lately that
single banking house has sent several
millions to the bank in one day.

If there was any significance in reading
the original call, he thought it quite as
important, in order to relieve any misap-
