This city has been quiet since the depart
ure OF the Legislature on Monday last.
We are looking for a warm Presidential
canvass; both parties are moving energet-
1c lily. Most Of the white United States
troops are being removed from the State,
and one or more regiments of negro troops
are being concentrated in the State. This is
seriously deprecated as an unwise and
hazardous arrangement.
The epeople have confidence in the white
troops because of their superior discipline
aud capacity for control. We anticipate no
trouble on the election but from the miscon-
duct of black voters. The whites will not
disturb them in the exercise of suffrage, nor
will they provoke discord, but they will not
yield any just rights.

Tho dark and bloody deeds that were about
to DO pcrpotratcd on Saturday last, when the
Ku Klux announcement was made, that bur
nishcd weapons, and cod glittering steel lay
concealed by tho boxes full in the vory heart
of our peaceful little town, only awaiting a
favourable opportunity to butcher all our good
citizens, and lay our beautiful little village in
ashes, was a terrible shock to our nervous
systou. These horrible rumours were, how
ever, soon dispellcd by tho joyful proclsma-
ton, tha this Honor the Intcndant, who had in
vestigated the whole matter thoroughly, care
I~lly, and deliberately, informed us that our
beautiful mountain homes wero not be sacked
in this manner by Radical raid Thercup-
on wo resumed our costomcd duties, with our
fears and palpitations considerably allayol and

Tho Legislature,

AS usual, is still plodding its weary way,
pretending to do q great deal, though in fact
doing very little. The opinion prevailed a
short time since that an adjournment would
tako place this week, but motion to that cf-
foot was definitely postponed. Twenty thous-
and dollars have been distributed among the
contraband members, and pockets that scarce
~ knew the weight Of grccnback before,
now proudly acknowledge tho presence of one
hundred dollars.-&.thi, boiug tho anota al
lowed to each member on account.
Tho bill to codify tho laws of South Caro-
lima, seems to excite much discussion and
forensic wrangling. CoRnIN, RUTLAND and
WmIppEn arc tho three Commissioners spo-
ken Of for the assignment Of this responsible
and onorous duty, with salary Of $1,000
oach per annunl, and $4,000 for contingent
expenses, or rs II correspondent truly remarks,'
"pickings and stcalngs." 1t seems quite
evident, that, as long as the negro Whippcr is
ono of the commissioners, the body cannot
agree upon it's passage. This is shameful that
tho white aspirants should, instead Of sharing
these Offices Of honor and profit with their
colorod friends, entirely monopolizc the bust
ness.

How do you regard tho finances of tho
country, and are tho Southern pcopc in fa
| vor Of paying tho national dcbtY'
am precisely of tho samo opinion a.
Mr. Pondlcton, on the subject of tho finances
His views accord with minc fully. Deal
frankly with the bond d.holdcr, without spccu.
lating or him, and without allowing him to
speculate OH tho public Keep good faith
with public creditors, and thus sustain it.
But first restore constitutional freedom, rc-
ducc taxation, abolish the frccdman's 8 bureau,
and all other channels of corruption, aud en-
franchise evcry white man now disfranchisod,
and then you will find public credit good and
gold at par. As to tho payment Of the debt,
with a reduction of the annual expenditure
from 500, ,000,000 to 10000, 900, it would
bo moro anxious to sustain tho national honor
than would tho Southern people. ~ noted
fact in our history has beon that, however
lavish SoutAcrners wcro in their personal
expenditures, they were always stingy and
economics! iu puh!!c poouuiary affairs, and
always joalously guarded vhci. public honor.
Some might attempt to rofutc this, by saying
that Mississippi refused to pay her bonds but
they were fow who knew the character of the
class of bonds she rcpudiatcd, and the circum-
stances under which it WAS dono."
IIavo the Southern people any desire to
pay tho Confederate debt !"
"Nono that am cmarc OF. First, because
of tholr inability, and next, because thoy
have already ropuliatcd. Two things that
tho United States Govcrnmo,t were very fool
ish in doing at the close Of tho war, wns tho
arrest of Davis and the demand that Confed-
crate debt should be ropudiatcd While do
not anticipate that it will ever be paid, or any
attempt bo made to pay it; still, if such be
the case, it will be altogether due to that forced
requiring its rcpudiation."
Atthis juncturc, Mr.. Stephens remembered
no had an engagement and with his usual
he left tho cottage to keep it,
after wishing mo q very good evening.
