The ExILEs OF SIBERIA. The Pre-
sident of the Administrative Council
OF Western Siberia hos just published
the report which he forwards every
year to st. Petersburg. It estimates
at $4,000 the number of convicts
banished every year to Siberia. Dur
ing the last few years the average
has risen to 14,000, of whom more
than sixth are women and children.
Quite recently the journey was still
performed on foot. A ffth Of the
exiles die on the way or in the hos
pitfalls. That mortality is explained
by the fatigue of travelling, apart
from all other circumstances. The
mean distance is about 2,GGG miles,
which represents about $50 days
walking. The time necessary to
reach the more distant government is
is one year two months and half.

The TESTIMONY OF FEDERAL
OFFICER in the May and June
numbers of DeBow's ReUie,c, we no.
tice some extracts from the report of
q Federal officer, detailed for regis
tration duty in Virginia. He is
obliged to admit the outrage on civil
ization of indiscriminate negro suf-
frage. He deprecates it, not so much
because it will injure the South, as
because it may result in injury to the
North. He says: "For myself, 1
must,s that the negroes proved so
ignorant, degraded and unmanage-
able, that have been forced to the
conclusion, that manhoId suffrage may
prooe q dangerous, If not q disastrous,
experiment. Its effects cannot be
confined to this section. Northern
Utopians may find that it will return
to plague the inventor; and, like
that strange missile the Australian
throws, their sable boomerang may
slap them on the nose"

VICTORIA cable dispatches
announce very spirited celebration
in England, on the Goth, of the ami
versary of the accession of her Ma
jesty Queen Victoria to the throne of
England. The event thus celebrated
occurred June 20, 1887, when, on
the death of her uncle, William ~,
without issue, the crowns of Eng
land and Hanover were separated,
the former devolving upon the
Princess Victoria, then in the nine
teenth year of her age, and the lat
ter, by virtue of the Salic' law pre-
vailing in Hanover, which excludes
females from the crown, devolving
upon the Duke of Cumberland,
younger brother of the late king.
The crowns OF the two countries
had before been worn by the same
person since the accession of George
I, in 1714. Queen Victoria was
crowned in Westminster Abbey,
June 2S, 1888. On February 10,
1910, she was married to Prince
Albert. When the possessions of the
East India Company were transferred
to the crown, IN August, 1859,
Queen Victoria was proclaimed
Queen of Hindostan. From tho be-
ginning, her true womanly and do
mestic virtues and exalted purity of
character have secured her the uni
versal respect and confidence of her
subjects. There is not, probably, a
ruler anywhere who SO lives in the
y - L.
in the love of the English. If her
grief for the loss of her husband had
not secluded her too much of late
years from her people, their devotion
would well nigh border upon idola-
try. Her influence is salutary, no
doubt, but it is her great statesmen
in the cabinet and in Parliament
that have made England greater and
more prosperous than ever under the
reign of Victoria.

FATAL ArFRAY AT FERNAND1NA.

FATAL AFFRAY AT FERNAND1NA.
We learn of fatal affray which took
place upon the wharf at Fernandina,
in which two men, named Pepper
and Vaughan. were the participants,
the former of whom was instantly
killed. and the latter mortally wound
ed. Pepper fired upon Vaughan,
both of them being on the wharf,
and within ten steps of each other.
Peppers first shot did not take
effect. Vaughan drew his revolver
and fired, striking Pepper in the
side. Pepper fired again, striking
Vaughan also in the side, the latter
returning the fire with four shots,
each of which struck Pepper, who
fell and almost Immediately expired.
Vaughan was carried off mortally
wounded. There were over 100 per-
sons on the wharf at the time, but
fortunately no one was hurt except

degeneration OF the south.

Regeneration OF the South.
The Philadelphia Enquirer affects
to believe, that, with the restoration
of the Southern States, according to
the radical programme, will come
their regeneration. Never was jour
nal more mistaken. It is, true, that
O restoration of the Southern States,
upon o decent and reasonable basis basis,
would be opening the way to their
recovery. But there can no good
result from such reconstruction and
restoration as that involved in the
role of radicalism. Radical, recon
struction is based upon negro supre-
macy. Negro supremacy is an
abnormal thing. It reverses the
order of things. There can be no
peace, at least no enduring peace,
upon that basis. And, without
peace, there can be no regeneration
of the South. Further, there can be
no security and no introduction of
capital into the States of the South,
so long as negroes control public
affairs. And, without security to
persons and property, and without
capital from abroad, there can be no
regeneration of the South. In fine,
negro rule, more or less, comes in
within radical restoration, and the
ignoring of the just claims of the
Southern whites is the result. And
these are incompatible with Southern
regeneration.
In some points it makes, the En-
Quire'' is right. We agree with it,
when it suggests that the South
ought to goto work-ought to en-
courage industry in all its forms
ought to welcome to her deserted
fields men from the North, and men
from Europe, whenever they come
with honest hearts and willing hands.
And this the South is prepared to
do. But let us repeat to the Enquirer
that all this cannot be well done,
under the auspices of the rule that
radicalism seeks to establish South.
When the whites. of the South have
again taken the reins of control into
their own hands-when the intelli.
gence and integrity of the South
shall again occupy its appointed
place, and WELD its just influence,
then may we expect the genuine
regeneration of the South.

The New York World thus appeals

The New York World thus appeals
to conservative Republicans:
Turning from fippant and So
phistical newspapers, and addressing
ourselves to honest Republicans, we
ask them to consider to what depth
their party has fallen, as measured
by the platform adopted by its first
national Convention. We usk them
to reflect whether consistency does
not require them to abandon q party
which has proved recreant to the
principles by which it gained their
adherence. Honest Republicans
may have been willing to tolerate
much which they disapproved, for
the sake of abolishing slavery; but,
slavery being abolished, and it's
abolition universally acquiesced in,
is it not time to re-es.ablish the old
landmarks of civil liberty Wehave
quoted the Fremont platform of 1856,
as furnishing to candid Republicans
the most convincing argument we
can think of to prove that the princi-
pies which the Democratic party
have most strenuously maintained
for the last three years, may be held
by men who feel the liveliest interest
in the welfare of tho negro race. We
are not disposed to quarrel with
former opponents, on obsolete issues,
if they will unite with us in re-estab-
fishing the supremacy of the Consti-
tuition.

CoLUAiBIA, s.. c., June 8, 1868. z
i love your paper very much and
am very Jealous of its reputation,
and wnen i see such articles as that
entitled "A Swindle to be Stopped. >,
In which ,is describes Massachusetts,
school ,narns' rs receiving 5000
to $1 200 apiece, I feel I must take
up my pen and give you the real
facts Of the case.
Here in this city Of Columbia,
there are fourteen teachers, sent out
by the s'New York Branch of the
Freedmen's Union Commission. :"
Among these teachers are several
from the Eastern States-a majority
are from New York State.
We have all had Bureau transpor-
tation. The Howard School" build
ing, in which we teach, was erected
by the Bureau. The house in which
we live is rented by the Bureau,
(which is an unusual thing.) Our
salaries of $40 per month. are paid
by the society which sent us out, not
by the Bureau. It takes nearly half
our salary to pay our board-in
travelling we have to pay incidental
expnnses-and then we are only
eight or nine months in the field; SO
it does not require any great amount
of arithmetic to see that the 'sschool
marms" receive very short of even
$500 apiece. L have no doubt that
in many respects what you say in
regard to the Bureau is correct; but
in making statements which are so
wide of the mark, the reputation of
the paper is very much ut stake.
The teachers sent out by the Ame-
rican Missionary Society receive
even less than we do, and their sala-
ries are in all cases paid by the So
cieties which send them out.
I have had very good opportuni-
ty, during the eight months / have
been in Columbia, to see the work
ings of the present reconstruction
schemes. I think the most pre-
JUDGED radical, if he would but suffer
himself to see, cannot fail to observe
the utter and entire ruin in which this
people is involved. It is very evident
that somo measures must be devised
to make the interests of these people
one, or it will be impossible for them
to live together. One white man
was heard to say to another in the
street, that before he would submit to
negro rule, he would cut his throat
from ear to ear.
There have been large number
of colored men discharged by their
employers for voting the radical
ticket. A gentleman having an op-
portunity to judge, ian employee of
the Bureau remarked a short time
since, that he did not believe there
were five negro men in Columbia
who were not paupers. That is q
sweeping assertion, think; but the
idea of making these ignorant, ire
sponsible men Legislators is, to me,
proposterous to the last degree. It
is enough to excite the ridicule of the
civilized world.
Business is utterly paralyzed here.
The few firms doing business have
their paper flying about from month
to month, bankruptcy staring them
continually in the face As DR..
Palmer, of New Orleans, remarked in
the pulpit short time since, that
life to very many here was reduced
to hard fight for daily bread.

The New York Herald to make q
sensation, says: et5bF yissi
ga MmrrARY CANDIDATE FOB THE
,F0JKrH OF july CoNvENTIoN. There
are many men who take the greatest
possible interest in the Convention,
to be held here on the Fourth, and
are exceedingly anxious that the
nominee of that Convention should
be soldier hero of the great war.
In opposing Grant, they say soldier
is necessary. A record of battles
fought, difficulties overcome, terrible
and trying. ordeals gone through, is
the most tangible and effective evil
dence Of O mans great qualities that
can be put before the mass of voters.
There is something in, it. We, only
fear, however, its inequality. For,
what sort of show do these Demo-
cratic candidates make with their
records beside the record Of Grant :?
They are nearly all men who proved
impraoticable, for one reason or
another, and at one time or another,
though, withal, good fighters, gallant
and honorable gentlemen, who did
noble service, for which the country
must ever remember them with
grateful thoughts. But what is
Mcclellan beside Grant in our story?
or what is Hancock? or what is
Buell.? It is not pleasant to have to
name gentlemen who have served go
we'll as these in terms that seem dis
r,araging, yet it must be acknowledge
ed that the achievements of men of
this class pale altogether before those
of the soldier who finally crushed the
rebellion.
But, if the Democratic Convention
must nominate O soldier-if it must
have name identified with the glo-
ries of the war-we will recommend
candidate for its favors. Let it
nominate General Robert e. Lee.
Let it boldly take at once the best of
all its soldiers, making no palaver or
apology. He is better soldier than
any of those they have thought upon.
and greater man. He is one in
whom the military genius of this
nation finds its fullest development.
Here, the inequality will be in favor
of the Democrats; for this soldier,
with handful of men, whom he
had moulded into an army, baff1ed
our greater Northern armies for four
years; and, when opposed by Grant,
was only worn down by that stolid
strategy of stupidity that accomplishes
its objects by mere weight. With one
quarter the men Grant had, this
soldier fought him magnifcently
across the territory of his native
State, and fought his army down to
stump. There never was such an
army, or such campaign, or such o
General far illustrating the military
genius and possibilities of our peo-
pie; and this General is the best of all
for Democratic candidate. It is
certain that, with half as many men
as Grant had, he would have beaten
him from the field in Virginia, and
he affords the best promise of any
soldier for beating him again.

Nothing more unfortunate for the
interests OF the city and the welfare
of the laboring classes could have
occurred, than the eight-hour strike
of the bricklayers. The work of
building, which was in active pro-
gress, is at stand-still; and, if the
bricklayers persist in their demands,
other trades relating to this one will
necessarily soon be affected, and
many thousand men will be thrown
out of employment. beside the 5000
now on strike. Such q arrangement
of industry, at this time of the year,
and under the existing condition of
affairs, will soon show its damaging
effects upon all who are concerned.
We do not believe that the reason of
the bricklayers can sustain their
present demands. or justify the way
in which they are attempting to
coerce their employers.
