Reckless E1travagance.

In one of his recent communica-
tions, Secretary McCulloch took
occasion to demonstrate against the
reckless extravaganza of Congress.
He said, after reviewing some OF their
most outrageous appropriations, and
his reasons for demonstrating:
"The mere statement of these
facts ought to suffice as an argument
against any immediate increase of our
enormous burden of debt and taxation.
''It needs no gift Of prophecy, or
trained financial intellect, to deter
mine the result of persistency in
such n policy, for nations like indi-
viduals have limits to their re-
sources, and nations like individuals
may have their patriotism taxed be-
yond endurance. A reduction and
equalization of national taxation has,
therefore, become not merely expe-
dent, but imperative. :
It would seem as if nothing but the
salvation of the nation itself could
warrant any Immediate increase Of the
national liabilities or peoples taxes.
Notwithstanding this appeal from
the financial officer of the Govern
ment, the faction in Congress not
only passed the bills then on the
tapis, but added others in the shape
of donations of the public lands and
subsidies of all kinds to all sorts of
companies and private corporations,
and had it not been for the veto of
the President, or his declining to
approve them, several bills of this
character would have become laws
during the wild legislation of the
last days of the session. 1t is only
surprising how the people of the
United States have borne with This
system of plunder, under the euise
Of taxes-especially the people of the
great producing region of the West.
they will not stand it much longer.
They are patient, but we suppose live
in hope for the overthrow of Stevens
dynasty.

A Legal Decision.

The new Attorney-General of the
United States has had a question of
some interest to the rejected nomi-
nees of President johnson under
consideration for some days past.
which was this: Can q person, who
has been nominated by the President
for an Office, and whose nomination
has been rejected by the Senate, be
appointed and commissioned bv the
President to the same Office after
Congress has adjourned?
This power heretofore has never
been denied to the President; but
Senator Trumbull raised the oues-
ton while an amendment to the post
office bill was under discussion.
Hence the reference to the highest
law officer of the Government. We
are pleased to see, by q special de-
spatch to the New York Ecening Post,
that he has given his opinion that
the appointments can be legally
made by the President during the
recess. We hope the President will
avail himself of this decision and
purge the public Offices of those who
oppose his policy of restoration and
peace.

FoRT RIPLEY-This relic of the
late war is being gradually destroyed
by the action of the waves. It was
built as one of the defences of the
inner harbor upon made ground, and
was facetiously called Fort Timber,
on account of its structure. It has
not been used for some time and
neglect and the usual wear and tear
have told upon it. tt present it is
the great resort OF fishermen, and
the finest sheephead are taken from
ats wharf. The cause which led to
the erection of this fort is lost, and
the fort Itself, being of comparatively
little or no use, may soon be num-
bered among the things that were.

CHARLESTON ITEMS. S.-We learn from
the Courier, of Wednesday, that, on
the day previous, the steamer Thco-
dore d. Wagner sailed with a full
freight for Boston, and that her fu-
ture prospects are bright and pronis
ing.
The Courier has the following
items:
Henry Drayton, one of the colored
men shot and severely wounded in
the disturbance which took place on
a Saturday evening in the market,
about a month ago, died yesterday,
from the effects of the wound.
THE Crops ON ED1sTo ISLAND. We
conversed yesterday with gentleman
from Edisto Island, who gives the
most glowing accounts of the cotton
crop on the island On some Of the
plantations it will fully equal, if not
exceed, the crop of former years. On
Mrs. Hanahan's place, the hands
commenced picking the 23d of July,
and samples were sent North. One
stalk, which has been brought to this
city, contains 211 bolls. The con
tract system was abandoned by many
OF the planters some time ago. and
the hands are now employed by the
day. This plan has worked much
better, and given more satisfaction to
both parties.

The Washington Erening Star,
speaking evidently on the authority
OF the johnson Club, and alludine to
the proposed exclusion of Vallan
digham, etc, from the Philadelphia
Convention, says that all who are for
the immediate restoration of the
Union and friendly intercourse be-
tween all sections of the countrywide
sustain the administration, and who
present themselves in good faith under
the call OF the Convention, will be
admitted without reference to their
antecedents.

The Philadelphia Aoe. of Thursda

The Philadelphia Age, of Thursday
morning, has double-leaded edi
torial, calling attention to certain out
givings in the radical press, that the
Philadelphia Union Convention is to
be mobbed out of existence by re-
turned soldiers and firemen, etc, as
an offset to the mobbing of the bogus
negro suffrage Convention ut New
Orleans. Should such an outrage be
attempted, says the Age, in the event
of the contingency referred to, TIN
municipal arm would unhesitatine CIV
be raised to protect the people in
their rights, and that failing, the
stronger power of the General Go
vernment will be called upon.

Gen. Bank. on thc Death OF Dostic i.
Gen. Banks, in reply to- letter
which appeared in the Washington
National Republican, from Mr.. w. H.
G. King, editor Of the New Orleans
Times, explaining the cause of the
New Orleans riots, uses the following
language concerning the individual
Dostie, who was killed during the
riots in New Orleans:
'sI knew him. WELL No country
ever gave birth to o more unselfsh
man, truer pstriot, or e moro de-.
voted friend Of liberty. He and his
friends we're dangerous men to the
enemies of this country. The unseen
hand that smote him was that which
applied the torch to the city of New
York, and by which Lincoln fell.
His death will be avenged; and ia
this, as in all trials of good men, the
blood Of the martyrs will be the sus-
tenance of the church"
This scarcely comports with the
character of Dostie in the brief bio
graphic sketch of this barber, quack
dentist, &C., published in yesterdays
Phoenic. But it is not particularly
to Gen. Banks eulogy on the defunct
conspirator we desire to call atten-
tion. It is the threat contained in the
last sentence of this note to the Re
publican. What does it mean? Is it
intended that this war of races shall
be melted, and that the bloody scenes
Of the last days of July in New Or
leans shall be repeated there or else
where? This seems to be the only
way the death of this conspirator can
''be avenged" In speech made by
Gen. Banks in Congress, against the
appropriation for the Mississippi le-
wees, he wound it up by similar omi-
nous language, when he spoke of the
struggle between the oppressed and
the oppressor, that was certain to take
place in the Mississippi country.
There is something startling in
these givings-out, and it would seem
from these, perhaps incautious, reve-
lations, that it is the design of the
radicals to precipitate strife in the
South much sooner than was ever
anticipated by those who saw the ma
tural tendency of radical legislation
in all the measures which affected the
freed people. Amore fendish scheme,
If such be the purpose, never was
concocted in the nineteenth century.
1t will require the utmost vigilance of
the Government, and the unhinching
discharge of Executive duty, to battle
it, and save the land from the scenes
that would inevitably follow even its
partial success. Gen. Banks might
have eulogized his coadjutor to his
hearts content, but when he repeats
his threats right in the heart of the
seat of Government, in the Capitol
and in the public press, it is time
that people should inquire what is
meant, and endeavor to find out the
programme of the intended avenging
schemes.

Arkansas and Tennessee.

Arkansas and Tennessee.
The New Yerk Zri5a6e quotes--rhe
following paragraph from aletter. re-
Gently written by Governor. Murphy,
of Arkansas, and refers TO il, as
''mournfui news x
cat our election, i'll August, the
rebel element will have fun control,
excepting, perhaps, in few North
western Counties. ** We
have just heaxd of the ratification of
the constitutional amendment by the
Tennessee Legislature, and hail it as
an omen that the measure will be-
como law I would have called q
session of the :Arkansas- Legislature,
had>it been possible to have procured
q quorum, but from deaths, resigna-
TONS, ana removals to other States,
it could not have been had. I regret
this much, as the Legislature to be
elected will be chosen from rebels
who have done good service in the
war"
It is something to be thankful for,
that Arkansas will be spared the fate
of Tennessee. Governor Murphy,
like 'Brownlow, would, if possible,
convene q Legislature by force, and
hunt mp the delinquents and drag
them to the capitol, to pass the radi-
cal amendment, buthe saysthe mem
bers can't be found The New York
World is rather amused at the idea
that ''deaths and designations" could
break a1p an Arkansas Legislature in
twelve months, but thinks the Go
vernon is near right .Ehen he talks
about removals to other States. The
World says that all the provisional
officers have doubtless gone to richer
pastures. The truth is, we imagine
that the people of Arkansas are tr,,e
to the Constitution and the Uniou,
and ore rather too strong for their ra-
dical Governor.
IN Tennessee, there are'some signs
OF political revolution, and that be-
fore long the Brownlowites will come
to grief. 1t is stated that an injunc-
ton has been filed in the Equity
Court, at Nashville, against the Of
ficers under the Metropolitan Police
lava radical measure passed by the
recent bogus Legislature This ac-
ton Is severe blow to Brownlow
and his followers. We notice fur
ther, that there are mysterious rumors
OF an order from Washington, author
izing the arrest and detention of the
reverend Governor, and that this ru-
NOR gains cfedence among well-in-
formed Tennesseeans. The recent
Gubernatorial swindle, in reference
to the bogus ratification of the con-
stitutional amendment, is said to DO
the cause of this.
The whole Southern States, and,
indeed, the conservative people of
every State in the Union, would re-
joice at the redemption of Tennessee,
and her deliverance from the execu-
tive rule of the man who disgraces
the Gubernatorial chair. If the Pre-
sldent can properly remove him, it
would be another act of patriotism
that would entitle him to the thanks
Of the country.

A Disappointment.

Disappointment.
T The prompt suppression OF the ra-
Ipdica3. riot at New Orleans, if we
might judge from the howls of the
press of that faction at the North,
must have been sad disappointment
to the revolutionary leaders. There
is no question, from the facts which
have trauspired since, that this fiot
was concocted plap Of the worst of
the radical party to provoke a dis
tufbance of Che peace, and then use
it to prove that the rebellion" was
not yet crushed. The purpose was,
II possible. to overthrow the legally
constituted Government Of Louisiana,
re-estabish a provisional Govern
ment, aud subject the people of that
State to military rule. Tie prompt
action of President Johnson, and the
swift and sure punishment inflicted
upon the leading. conspirators, has
frustrated. all their nefarious plans,
and may serve as warming to all
others who are ambitious of. be
coming martyrs in the radical cause.
And now, the New York Tribune,
Eceeing POSI- and other papers of
that stamp, charge thnt President
Johnson is responsible for all the loss
OF life which. this cabal, by infam-
matory speeches and rowdy outrages,
| brought upca themselves. What
WAS the intention of these lawless
men, may be learned from the follow
ing resplution. adopted by mixed
assemblage three days before tie
meeting which precipitated the riot:
Resolced, That, until the doctrine
of the political equality of all citi-
zens, irrespective of color, is recog-
nized in this State by the establish
ment therein of universal suffrage.
there riH u,atl can be no permanent
peace
One Of the speakers, who was NOR
tally wounded during the riot, used
this language at the same preliminary
meeting:
The only reliable people, the ONLY
Union people in the South, Mr.. Hen
deison said, were ''negroes and Yam
KEGS" He preferred u black Upion
man to a white rebel. The men of
the South, he said, were all rel lis.
the women were rebels, the children
were rebels, they were all rebels, and
the loyal black man must put them
down. He would infinitely rather
see negro representing this State in
Congress than white rebel.
I Other speakers followed in the
same strain, denouncing President
johnson as Il traitor to liberty and
the negro race. It is not strange
that those who thus sowed the winds
reaped fearful whirlwind-it being
remarkable, that nearly all the whites
killed or beaten during the suppress
sion. Of the riot, were leaders in the
movement, which was undoubtedly
designed to incite fight between
the two races in that city. But the
prompt exercise Of the constitutional
power of the Executive, and the in
strumentality of the electrical tele-
graph, checked this conspiracy and
prevented a FAR more extensive slaugh-
ter than that which took place.
