STILL another ef4the commanders
Of the military districts of the South,
has given offenses to our Democratic
friends. We certainly had reason to
expect THAT General CANBY, in view
of the dissatisfaction occasioned by
his predecessor, would so conduct af-
fairs as to give satisfaction, not only
to the'chivalry- South Carolina, but
to the Northern Democracy also.
But he has failedin this particular. as
lamentably as did General SICKLEs.
The Columbia Chronicle says the
State ssof South Carolina has been
bankrupted by the bayonet, and that
for the purpose of venting personal
spite against the people. General Cam
By hassordered the collection of all
taxes to be stopped; except so far as
relates to taxes due to the Federal
Government. The object of such ac-
ton is evidently no other than to
make the Impoverished people of the
South contribute everything to the
support or radical ofice-holders and
military satraps. The effect is to
keep the South FRUSTRATED, so that It
cannot assert its rights and assist in
overthne&tng legally an illegal aud
unwarr3 nted assumption of power. -
1t is great pity that the South

We rejoice to see that the leaders
of the Democratic party have received
new light on the subject Of internal
improvements by the National Gov
eminent. They have no Constitu-
tional scruples now about the power
Of Congress to make appropriations
for that purpose. The Southern peo-
pie are suffering severely on account
of the destruction of the levees on
the Mississippi River, by which some
of the best cotton lands in the South
have been overhowed and rendered
worthless. The Boston Post has taken
strong ground in favor of national
loan for the reconstruction of levees
after a systematic design, and Demo.
cratic papers throughout the country
are andorsing the proposition. No
constitutional objections are urged.
1t IS our friends in the South who are
to be benefited. and no questions are
asked. In former years, when the
question was to improve the rivers
and harhors Of the West and North
west, the Democracy replied different

constitutional.

Judge Parrett, in impanneling the
Grand Jury on Monday, gave them an
able and rather pointed charge He
expressed his qualification at seeing SO
large an amount of propertyrepresent
ed in the grand jury box, after calling
their attention to their eath'as Grand
Jurors. He said that while they
might consider the duties of their po-
sition as burdensome and undesirable
yet it was one that must be filed, as
the court was entirely powerless to
punish crime without the aid Of the
Grand Jury. He was gratifed at the
character Of the Grand Jury, as the
safety of their own property and the
protection of their own individual per-
sonal rights would be to them sub
stantial reason why they should cheer
fully give their time and attention to
the performance of their duties al
Grand Jurors as well as a guarantee
for faithful duty to the entire body of
law-abiding citizens. That it would
