High Rents.

The Petersburg Iader, in speaking OF the
probable reduction of rents this fall, u con-
Sequence of the increased number of tene-
ment houses, and. the reduced value of all
articles of merchandise, says "there is no
doubt of the fact that true balance sheet of
nine ont of ten of tile mercantine houses in
this city, putting the goods on hand at their
present value would exhibit the fact that
they have not made dollar during the past
twelve months. This is not alone owing to
the constant decline in goods, but to the ex-
orbitant rents demanded by our landlords.
and we are gratitied to know the matter of
reduction is being discussed among them"
The same ruling which is good for Peters
burg is good for this city also, only little
more so perhaps. The enormous rents and
the very heavy taxes with which all busl-
ness has been burthened, has served to make
serious inroads on the little profits merchants
have been able to realize. We are inclined
to think that there will be reduction OF the
present high rates of rent during the next
season. A number of new buildings, both
houses and stores, have been erected in differ
ent portions of the city, and this, coupled
with the fact that our people cannot afford
to pay another year the high rents they have
been paying this, will serve to reduce the
rents very considerably. With the present
lights before us, we believe that such will be
the result Wilmington Post.
High rents are almost universally COM
planned of. It is true, taxes on property are
enormous, especially when we consider how
they are used but under any view of the
matter rents are too high, and should be re-
duced. These high rents bear heavily not
only on business men in our towns and
cities, but on the working men and the poor.
1t is ali mechanic can do, at So SO to So
per day, to pay bis rent and support his FAM
lily. He can lay up nothing for ga rainy
day ;" and he will not be able, unless the
times should greatly improve, to give any
education to his children out of his own
means. Laborers on farms are also oppress-
ed by high rents. AS a general rule, after
paying their rent, whether in money or
part of the crop, they have nothing left af-
ter they have clothed and fed themselves
and families There is monopoly of land
which weighs sorely on the laborng and
producing classes. Weknow not how this
evil is to be cured. But the subject affords
food for reflection to the statesman and to
our public men generally.

HEADQUARTERS SECOND MILITARY DISTRICT,
CHARLESTON, s. c., April 81 1867.
In reply to letters received at these headquar-
tiers, asking information to the operation in
particular cases of General Orders No. 10, current
series from these headquarters, L am directed by
the commanding general to state that the prOvis-
ions of the order will be interpreted and enforced
by the courts. The order is to be deemed and
taken ordinance having the sanction and
authority of the United States for the regulation
of certain civil affairs therein specified within
much of the territory occupied by the military
forces of the United States, lately the theatre of
| war, as is embraced within the second military
district created by act of Congress.
Although some of the former political relations
| of the Inhabitants i'll allegiance, their private
relations, their persons and property, and their
| remedies for wrongs remain as heretofore, within
the cognzance of the local tribunals, and subject
to the laws of the provisional government hitherto
in force, except so far such laws in conflict
with the Constitution and laws of the United
States or with the regulations prescribed by the
| commanding general
Amongst the consequences necessarily incident
to the military authority established by Congress,
and indispensable to the objects tor which the
| authority is established, is the appointment and
| control of the civil agents by whom and measures
by which the government ad interim is to be con-
Quoted In the exercise OF this authority, such
| regulations and appointments will be announ-
| ced from time to time may become neces-
sary; and so far as these regulations concern the
ordinary civil relations of the inhabitants, they
will be administered by the courts and by the
proper civil officers in the usual course of pro-
cedure
Whilst it will not be convenient to respond to
| particular inquiries made by citizens to the
| Interpretation and application of these regula-
tions, such interrogatories will be answered when
