= The New York Herald has d.

ted the President and gone over to the Rad
icals, "horse, foot and dragons" This por-
tends no good for the South. While we do
not believe that the Herald influences ma
teriaily, or directs public opinion in the
North, it is an excellent barometer, and is
rarely on the losing side at the end of the
race.
MIR. Frederick A. Sawyer, Collec-
tor of Internal Revenue, informs the editor
of the Charleston NeDs that there are no
restrictions upon the removal of cotton be-
tween points in the same Collection District
York is embraced in the third Collection
District, which is composed Of the Judicial
Districts of Richland, Lexington, Edgefeld,
Abbeville, Newberry, Fairfield, Chester,
Laurens, Anderson, Pickens, Greenville,
Spartanburg and Union.
The Fenians are again looming up
in the distance. Their Congress has been
in session at Troy, New York, and ad
journed on Sunday of last week. Colonel
W. R. Roberts was reelected President,
P. J. Meehan President of the Senate, and
J. N. Fitzgerald Speaker of the House.
General Sweeny was deposed as Secretary
of War, but no successor has been named.
His accounts were satisfactory, but he was
believed to be incompetent. General ONeil
was appointed Inspector General Of the
Irish Republican Army, and Colonel Bal
ley Chief Military Organizer.
Preparations for another movement on
Canada, are said to be on foot. The Can
ada papers are camoring for England to 90
to war with the United States, unless the
latter shall make the Fenians behave them
selves.
- The New York Evening Post writes
very hopefully of the financial future of the
government Here is an extract:
Events are carrying us rapidly towards a
resumption of specie payments on the part
of the Government The Treasury has now
over S6O,OO0,OOO of coin on hand of its
own, without counting the private deposits.
At the moderate estimate of Sl2,OOO,OOO
per month, seven months more of customs
revenue will add to this gold fund 1884,
900, so that by the first of April next
the coin 10 the Treasury will be Sl45, ,OOO,-
900, less whatever payments are to be made
meantime. Estimating these, for half a
years gold interest and for payment of the
principal of the bonds of 1867, due next
January, at s45,OOO,0O0, there will re-
main, on the first of April, 100000, ,0OO.
Old "Iron. works." crazy and fam
atical Thad. Stevens, of Pennsylvania, is
still on the rampage. He made speech

published in the New York Herald in full.
The Herald says:
"The old implacable radical leader seems
to be as savage, as remorseless and insatia.
Bile in his revenges as ever He howls over
what he denounces as the usurpatiou of An
drew Johnson, the cleaning out of radical
Office holders, the insolenoe of Southern
white rebels and the rights and wrongs Of
Southern black loyalists, and he threatens
to try again in Congress his favorite recon.
struction policy Of Southern con6scation and
subjugation by determination. But the
fierce old fanatic seems also to be in mel
ancholy frame of mind, as if disheartened
at the prospect before him, and with the
rough road he has had to travel. In fact,
from the general tone Of his speech, we in.
fer that he is not altogether sanguine Of a
great radical victory in Pennsylvania, and
SO is rather disposed to mourn than rejoice.
Poor old man ~
We find the following paragraph
in an exchange in regard to Stamp Duties.
Nearly every reader is interested in the in
formation, and it would be we'll to cut out
the article for reference:
The new internal revenue law contains a
provision that all papers which were execu.
ted in insurrectionary States before the
establishment of collection districts therein,
which are invalid for want of stamps, may
be rendered valid by af6xiug the proper
stamps, atany time before the first of January,
1867. In this connection, the time for
establishing districts in the insurrectionary
States becomes important 1t is as follows {:
Alabama, May 16, 1865; Arkansas,
March 1, 1865; Florida, May 4, 1865;
Georgia, May 80, 1865; Mississippi, June
l, 1865; Tennessee, February 7, 1868; /;
North Carolina, May 10, 1865; Louisiana,
February l6, 1858; South Carolina, May
80, 1865; Texas, June 5, 1865.
AS the avowed purpose of President
Johnson's tour, was to attend the ceremonies
connected with laying the cornerstone of a
moument at Chicago, to be erected to the
memory of Stephen A. Douglas, a descrip-
tion of the monument may not be deemed
out of place:
