A PooR JoB.-Now that Congress has

Carolina ard South Caroline, We have a
few questions to ask
l. Is the srmy.to be withdrawn ?
2. Is the Freedmen's Bureau to be dis
continued (?
3. Is it safe for Northern men to move
theref
4. Will investment pay there !?
To all of which We can only answer, no.
The army will not be withdrawn, because
thosei rotten governments, begotten of
the bayonet, would fade into nothiugness
were the bayonet but once taken away.
The bureau will not be discontinued, be-
cause the negroes into whose hands these
States have been committed, need that
institution in order to feed them. make
their contracts for them, and teach them
their a. b.. c. It is not safe for Northern
men to move there, because the great
majority of Northern voters are disfran-
chised there, and, even If they were not,
there is the eve present danger of a war
Of races. Investment will 10 pay, be-
cause carpet-bag governments bankrupt

nes- The most glazing attempt st swim
dling--for it is nothing else--ever at
tempted in the South, is that of eIecting
a'State printer under the provision of a
bill introduced in the :" Black Crook y
Assembly in New Orle4ns. The bill is
entirely too lengthy for our columns, but
it embraces all work ordered by the Gen
eral Assembly /; the legal advertising of
the parish of Orleans and the printing
required by the city of New Orleans. The
prices to be paid for this work is far mex
cess of its value. to say nothing Of the ad.
yantages of the monopoly, and if it should
become q law, as no doubt it will, it will
put half a million of dollars into the peck
cts Of the individual for whose express
benefit it is intended. The city papers
emphatically assert the originator and
~introducer of the bill to be Gen. Mcyii,en.

The AMNESTY PRocLAMArIoS.-The long
expected proclamation of amnesty to those
who participated directly or indirectly 10
the late civil war, was issued by Presi.
dent Johnson on the 4th inst. With the
exception of those under charge of treas
on By Indictment or presentment, all are
restored to full rights and privileges of
citizenship. The exceptions to the above
clause are, we believe. limited to three
only, viz Jefferson Davis, Lieut.. j. C.
Braine and John II. Surratt. Now, if we
understand correctly the full intent and
meaning Of this amnesty, all test or other
oaths are dispensed with, and the simple
obligation to support the constitution OF
the United States and that of the State,
required Of every officer, civil or judicial.
The highest authority in the land having
granted an unconditional pardon to those
engaged in the rebellion, has any State a
right to establish and enforce an oath
which would conflict with the tenor of the
amnesty Or, having inaugurated such
an oath, would not any attempt to en-
force it be rebellion against The Govern.
ment? Nuts for the riotley Legislature.
CsoPs, Erc.-Last Saturday was the
most Telcome day that we have had for
more than two months. 1t actually rain.
ed-came down in a good, heavy shower.
1t did a world of good, but We can stand
half a dozen more such showers without
complaining. The season for cotton.
generally, has been excellent. No late
signs of worms or caterpillars are visible
in any part Of the parish. and the mis-
chief that was done at the beginning Of
the season has long since been remedied.
The drouth has not benefited the cane,
Of course. but We cannot see or bear OF
any material injury being inflicted there
by. 1t looks well and has prospered re-
markedly we'll everything considered
Of corn we cannot write SO fatteringly.
Want of rain in many parts Of the parish
has injured it considerably, even to total
loss in several instances. The Irish po-
totoe crop turned out we'll, the yield hav-
ing been large and the sale at remuners-
tive prices. We N pleased to know
that sweet potatoes pumpkins, peas, etc.
have been planted in large quantities,
which win, to q great extent, compensate
for the short corn crop. Fevers and den.
que still prevail, but usually yield to
simple remedies. Otherwise the health
of the parish is excellent

A Good Illustration.

Hon. T. Hendricks, ofIndiana, the Demo-
cratic candidate for Governor, in a speech of
great soundness and force, in showing the i'm
portance of harmony and good feeling between
the North and South, and the advantages of
reciprocal trade between the South and North
western States gave. the following happy illus
tration .. ~ -. - 81 ..a. ..-
"The sweetest lesson of our religion is to be
found in the parable of the Prodigal Son. That
son, you reeolleet, became tired Of the best home
in the world, and wondered off to seek his for
tune among strangers, Seeding from the pa
ternal root, soon poverty and hunger came upon
him and he concluded to return. If that father,
who '.saw him away off" bad been Radical,
what would he have said? "There comes my
rebelious son! He thinks [ will let HIM come
back upon the same terms as the rest of the boys
and girls. No, no.' raa '..
'.Ihat father as described to us in the parable
was not Radical. He opened his arms and
welcomed him as he saw the erring boy return,
and as he stepped into that house, peace, love,
and happiness returned. There was Radical
in that family, though. The other boy, as soon
as he saw his brother coming, commenced growl-
ing, and did not want the returning prodigal
admitted. [ ask you as christian men and citi-
zens, do you think We can build our institutions
upon the bad passions of hatred, revenge and
jealousy-passionst that come up from the dark
caverns of help" t.. s.
