mOny will be sufficient to cOunteract the
testimony of Grant and Stanton both
together. Therefore, say, they will re-
port favorably on the project of impeach-
ment, and it will be done at all hazard, as
the last and only chance Of the Revolu-
tionists to get command of all the necessary
means of compelling obedience. They will
run the risk of being able to make the
people believe they do these things by law.

"A very cool proposition was offered IN the
United States Senate on Tuesday by Senator!
Trumbull, to pay the senators lately admitted
from the Southern States compensation dat
ing from the beginning of this Congress. The
inconsistency and extraordinary character OF
the resolution were so we'll shown up by MIR.
Davis that Mr.. Trumbu1 could find no words
with which to reply, and suffered the resolu-
ton to go over. The senators lately admitted
are eight in number. They have giveu but
few weeks of their valuable time and services
to the country, and yet Mr.. Trumbun proposes
to pay them at the rate Of $4,000 year from
March 4, 1867 These senators would thus
Draw, up to the 4th OF June, s6250 apiece, when
at that date not one of them had been admit

pretty profitable ''carpet bagging.' The
House, however, passed q resolution to pay it's
new members from the reconstructed States
only from the date Of their election.

1t is no longer question of pity for the
poor negro, but Of pay for the carpet-bag-
ger; and forgetting all former argument
and denunciation, NEAaLE-one Of the white
tribunes- introduced bill to impose
tax of one cent per pound on upland cot
ton and two cents per pound on sea Island
cotton, in addition to tax of. seven-and-a-
half cents per bushel on rough rice. If
these taxes are not paid, the lands are to
be sold at auction by the Comptroller Gen.
eral-NEAaLE, the framer of the bill.
1t would be useless to tell these negro
legislators that such taxes are unprece-
dented in the history of this or any other
State in the Union, for nothing con be more
unprecedented than the hybrid Legislature
in which they are proposed. But some of
the colored people did at once characterize
the bill as monstrosity, and went 80 far as
to tell the Comptroller General that his
proposition was not worth the paper upon
which it was written. The explanations of
half-a-dozen colored men may not, however,
have any effect when there is loud call for
the prompt payment Of the little six dollars
per day; but the mere expression Of inten-
tons to tax heavily the products Of the soil
will do goodin opening the eyes Of the col
cred race to the selfish greed of their rep.
resentatives. Any negro-not legislator
or an Office holder-can understand that
such tax, added to the uncertainties of
labor and the vicissitudes of the times, will
20 far to lessen the culture of cotton, and
therefore, to decrease his opportunities of
obtaining employment,-that it will take
large slice from the net sum realized from
the crop, out of which, if working on shares,
his remuneration must ceme,-that it will,
whether he labors forthimself or for others
for hire, take money from his purse to pay
a parcel Of men for legislating in favor of
the oarpet-bagger and against the white
Southerner and the Southern-born negro.
A little time and little more carpet
bagging legislation will prove to the negro
that for him there is no hope of safety or
profit but in close industrial alliance with
the respectable white people Of the State;
and, in this manner, the Columbia senators
and representatives will do good to the
whole negro race, while they only ittend to
crafty and benefit themselves.

The Taz on Cotton and Rice.

Some of the colored members of the leg
islative body, now in session in Columbia,
are beginning to perceive that the foolish
ignorance of their own colleagues is likely
to be more dangerous than what they are
accustomed to call the old slaveholding
spirit Of the people of the State. Before
South Carolina had been reconstructed con-
occasionally, petitions were sent by the
eager Radicals praying the legislators at
Washington to repeal the cotton tax, which
they declared was pressing heavily upon the
Southern negro and "truly loyal white
man The North also entered its protest;
and when it was shown that tax upon the
great Southern staple was cramping the
producer, defrauding the laborer, and, in
making the crop improbable, decreasing
the area of land in cultivation, the tax was
sullenly repealed. This was done for the
benefit of the whole United States-not be-
cause of any congressional sympathy with
the men who stood behind the plough with
their buttonless gray uniforms still upon
them, or who had staked all the little that
was left to them in an unsuccessful effort to
retrieve the losses of wearying war.
The colored people were glad, thinking
that now they would be able to put some
thing in pocket from their share in the
coming crop, or that their own little patch
of cotton would bring them very modest
fortune. They did not pause to reject
whether the abolition of the United States
tax would make up for careless working
and negligent cultivation; nor did they con-
slider that even tax Of TWO and one-half
cents per pound is not as ruinous as rainy
and unfayorable season. Their talking men
told them that the tax.was the cause Of their
troubles, and they gave implicit faith to what
they constantly heard.
Now, however, the circumstances are
changed. The talking men-black, white

CHI A r L E S T ON i.
FRIDAY MORNING, JULY "a, 1868.
Our People and State.

Tie white people Of Charleston care but
little for banners, torches and PROFESSIONS.
Their banner is their declaration of princi-
ple. Their torch is the ardor which now
inAames their souls. Their procession is
the long train Of violence and iniquity
which made them years ago rise up against
the wrong, and makes them now pledge an
eternal fealty to the party which stands
before the world as the champion of truth.
They do desire that the meeting Of tonight
may be imposing and impressive But not
by any mere outward display, nor only by
the meretricious charms of music and gleam-
ing lights.
Our meeting of tonight will be grand,
and even sublime, for it will be the sponta-
neous tribute Of gallant people to that
national party which, however it may have
for the moment swerved from the narrow
path, is now marching towards the goal Of.
American republican freedom. 1t will be
the expression Of our unceasing resolve to
cling to the true and avoid the false, and
of our faith that, however long and weary
the strife, the right will at last prevail.
Meeting together as they have not met for
many day, the people of Charleston, in
the midst of their blighted city, under the
shadows of the spires which have looked
down upon generations of leal and spotless
Carolinians, will declare their attachment to
the doctrines of their fathers, and pledge
their faith to the support of the men who
are their living represel i ives.
And proper it is that by the side of our
most venerable citizens, by the side of
those who spoke for Charleston when North
and West, and East and South, safe in SOL
.emn council to plan the redemption Of their
threatened homes and altars, there should
be gallant soldier, whose title of nobility
is o faultless lineage and spotless fame
whose Legion Of Honour, whose CROSS and
star, is the love and honor of every child Of
Carolina.
The old and the young, the prudent and
the needless, the veteran politician and the
young aspirant for the tborns Of public
life, the merchant whose ships traverse
the boundless seas, and the artisan who is
the source and foundation of our strength
all will be there, all united once more, all
with but one purpose and one desire, all ready
to toll without firing in the cause of FREE
DOM, JUSTICE AND TRUTH.
These words shall be our battle cry; for
upon us and the manner in which we do
our whole devoir now depend the welfare of
ourselves and our children, and the liber-
ties of our suffering State.
