BOLD TALK.-The New York Citizen semi.
RadicaL has tried the black vomit and does
not like it. 1t says:
The daily papers are making great mud
die over the opinions of the prominent Gen.
erals and the people at large on the question
of reconstruction, They tell US that Grant
approves of the course of the President that
Thomas agrees With Sheridan, and that Sher-
man favors the plan Of Congress or vice re,sa,
according to their political bias. We c&n
tell them all that if the Congressional system
is to put the South in possession of the ne.
grocs it does not meet the views Of the peo-
pie, the sailors in our fleets, the soldiers in
ou. armies, the merchants at their desks, the
farmers at their ploushs, or any other large
body of our citizens. A St. Domingo is not
what we fought for we do not want it and
will not have it !; and that the niggcrs, wheth.
er white or black, may understand as well
FIRST as last Nations are cruel when driven
to despair; and, rather than surrender our
white nationality, we will massacre or enslave
every colored man in the States. This may
be bold language and unconventional, but we
ask our readers whetherit does not meet the
confirmation of their hearts? We have sac
rifced too many whites or principle to stop
at taking the lives Of few worthless blacks.

The LINE DRAgS.-Several of the Virginia
papers, including the Charlottesville Chronicle
and the Norfolk Juy Book, that have recent
ly manifested desire to co operate with the
Radicals in restoring the State to the Union,
have changed their views since the meeting
of the Hunnicutt Convention. The Chronicle
remarks as follows:
"From the proceedings Of that Convention,
it is almost impossible to discove. that any
white man was there except Mr.. Hunnicutt
and Mr.. Hawxhrirst, The colcred people
just took things in their own hands, and acted
as if there were no white people in the State.
They have Defiant by erganized themselves into
black mans party, and only one thing re-
mains for the white people to do-to take
up the glove
sour advice IS this let US fight it out. 1t
may be that in the approaching election the
whites will fail to carry a majority OF tie
counties. But in the long run the result is
not doubtful. The colored people are merely
sealing their own doom. We tell them, as
we have told them before, that thirty-one
millions Of white people in the United States
are not going to surrender the South-the
magnificent empire of the South-to four
millions of blacks. The thing cannot be
done; it will not be done their hoee is in
peace but if they will have war, let it come. !"

The Questions Before the Court.

The question came up on Monday before
Judge Bryan as to the validity of payments
made under proceedings in the South Carroll
ma Courts during the war, liz Confederate
money. The case was suit against T. R.
Agnew, assignee, against Mrs. Lucy T. Thomp.
son, of Spartanburg, widow of Henry Thomp-
son, Administrators. During the war, Bill
in Equity, at Spartanburg, was filed, calling
in the creditors Of the Estate of Mr.. Thomp-
son. The note due e~payee, who assigned
TO the plaintiff in this case, was filed in Court
by S. Bobo, attorney, and agent of payee.
Property (lands) of the Estate was scld, and
this debt, with that of other creditors, paid
off by the proceeds in Confederate money, as
all the other debts were. The Judge ruled
the proceeding of the State Court not obliga-
tory and directed the jury to find for the
whole amount Of the note against Mrs. Thomp
son. The amount being under two thousand
dollars, no appeal can be taken; consequently,
Mrs. Thompson will have to sell more proper.
ty to raise the money second time.
On Tuesday, an interesting question was
made before the Court, as to the construc.
tion of the Internal Revenue Act of Congress
of 1862, which provides inter ALA that col
lectors shall be appointed in each State ac-
cordiug to the number Of representatives to
which each State is entitled. The offence
was charged to be in violation. Of the provi
sions of this Act. Arnim aud other defen:
dants, in the indictment pleaded that this
State not being entitled to representation in
Congress at the time of the Act, was not en-
braced in its provisions at all, consequently,
they are not anersble or answerabe to any
charges of violations of laws which Congress
itself did not in terms apply to the State
where such violations are'alleged 10 be COM
mitted.
The point was ably argued for defendants,
by General Gary, of Edgefeld, and Hon. W.
D. Porter, of Charleston, and replied to by
District Attorney, Mr.. Corbin, AID J.. P.
Reed, of Anderson, who is associated in the
prosecution. The Judge overruled the plea
principally on the ground that the specifca-
ton of the Act as to the number of colec
tors was merely for territorial conyeniences,
and had nothing to- do with the authority Of
Congress or the liability of citizens to pay
axes.-Greenville Enterprise, 4th.
