The Copperheads clamor about the burden
of debt and they propose one of two things:
1st.' To place the Rebel States where they
were before the war, which implies the restor-
alton OF slavery (see Wade Hampton's speech
in which he says all the delegates at New
York, and those from the North most warmly
promised this) and an ASSUMPTION of the REB-
Ell DEBT, which is at least equal to the loyal
debt; or
I'd Another sECETsIoN and WAR, (see Frank
Blair's letter. and it is by an assumption of
the rebel debt, or by ANEW war that they pro-
pose to tighten the burdens of the people and

A WEALTHY CoNGREGATIoN.-
The Jeuish Messenger says that at
the auction sale Of fpews in the new
Temple Emanuel, in New York:
the amount received reached about
S750.OOO. The trustees expected
a pre-emption of $4,000, but it
amounted to 100000. The high,
est price paid was $4,000, the pur'
chaser selecting the pew directly
in front Of the pulpit. The Other
mcmberspaid various sums, rang
ing from $4,000 to SIS. The ap'
praised value of the pews was
100000, there being twenty al
$4,000 each. Many of the seats
were at a comparatively low price
the trustees very properly de.
clining to neglect the claims of the
poorer members. The loves
priced pews were sold for 5000,
accommodating seven occupants
each. By this sale the Temple
stands free from debt, and with
sinking fund of one hundred
thousand dollars.

The Congressional Result.

The election returns Indicate
that the Dem ocracy have gained
one member Of in1ndiana,

three, in Pennsylvania. In the
language of the Nashville Ameri-

and gives encouragement to hope
that the remaining States to vote
this fall will give such additional
gains as Will: reduce the radical

FELLOW CITIZENS AS members
of your State Executive Commit
tea body which represents
nearly every, white citizen Of
South Carolina-we feel it. our
duty to: invoke your earnest ef-
forts in the cause Of peace and
the preservation Of order,x:We
beg you to unite with us in repro
batting these recent acts of vio-
lence, resulting in the death OF
Martin, Randolph and Nance, by
which a few lawless and reckless
men have brought discredit on
the character of ourpeople, though
provocation in these cases may
have been given. No cause can
prosper which calls murder to its
assistance, or which looks to as
sassination for success, "The idea
Of assassination" said George Nc
DuAie, is so absolutely abhorrent
to all the feelings, the Christian
feelings of modern times, and OF
such pernicious tendency, that l
feel it to be my duty thus unequi-
vocally to express my utter ab-
horrence of any proceeding that
may have the remotest tendency
to suggest it. Such a course is
not only obnoxious and abhor-
rent to every honorable man,
from it's moral atrocity, but from
it's political tendency.'
Listen to the words Of that pa
.triot,. which seem to come from
his grave, to warn the people
whom he loved SO devotedly. We
can add nothing to the weight OF
this great authority. We can
only appeal to you, to support the
laws, to- preserve the peace and tc
dcnounce those crimes which have
So recently been committed in
some portions of cur State. We
Sr,eabin shehalf Of the aconserya
| tive and law-abiding portion OF
the people, who constitute, we
feel assured, nearly our entire
white population, and, in their
name we express emphatically
our adherence Of such acts, and
VIC pledge ourselves to give all
the assistance in our power tc
suppress them. We adjure al
wholove their State, of all classes
white and black, to be peaceable
and quiet, to lend their efforts to
promote harmony and to quel]
dissention. We ask those who
are opposed to us, politically, to
unite with US to check and dis
countenance all incendiary Ian
guage, whether uttered in public
or private, and to join us in the
efforts we are making for the pre-,
servation of peace, the supremacy
of law and the maintenance Of or
der. Lawlessness will endanger
the peace Of the whole State, and
