WHAT HAS BEEN THE RESULT d?

The Charleston Mercury makes state
ment which is striking commentary
on the "civilizing influences" which have
been brought to bear upon the negro
population of the Southern States through
the Freedmen's Bureau and other APP
pliances of Northern negrophilists.
Speaking of the condition of affairs in
South Carolina, the Mercury says:
Before the war, there never was a more
orderly and contented population than the
negro population in this State. There was
no military to keep them in subiection. On
our sea-coast and rivers, thousands were
ruled by hundreds, with often years inter-
vening without criminal court being con-
Vened 10 try an offender. Thefts were rare /,
and the higher classes of crimes scarcely
ever took place. On a river, with which
we are acquainted, on which there were
some three thousand slaves cultivating rice,
a single case of murder occurred and was
tried In thirty years. On a plantation
having three hundred negroes on it, only
two fights occurred in ten years, and these
were between husbands and wives We
are satisfied, that taking the State at large,
South Carolina compared favorably with
any State in the United States in her crimi-
nal statistics. But what is the case now
1t is useless to cite instances; but unless
the daily reports of crime in our courts of
iustice-and of our crowded jails-and of
the murders, arsons, robberies on the high
ways, and burglaries at night-are. all
myths, this State never was inundated by
such a food of crime since it was founded,
two centuries ago. We are satisfied that
we speak within bounds, when we assert
, that there have been more crimes commit
ted by the black population since their
/ emancipation, than in any twenty years oi
! the previous existence of the State.

THE POLITICAL SITUATION.

The editer of the Macon GA Telegraph
has Just returned home, after having spent
month in Washington and the Northern
States, and gives the followingss his impress
sions of the political situation
As regards the President, he ia firm in
his purpose to uphold the constitution and
oppose lis enemies TO the full extent of his
powers. The country has expected more
Of him than he has done, and charged him
with unhappy delays, but Se are convinced
upon a full survey of the field, that he has
acted prudently and wisely, and LEFT undone
nothing that could have been done with
safety. At least such are his own honest
convictions, and he knows far more Of his
own embarrassments than the world out
side. He feels confident that the wicked
counsels of the Radicals will be brought
to naught, and in time to save the govern
ment and people from the disasters that
now threaten both. He is in full sympathy
with the South in her present righteous
struggle, and will leave nothing undone
on his part to bring it TO a favorable issne
His end the general impression at Wash
ington and the North is that, while troubles

has only to be patient and true to herself
in order to win glorious and early deliy-
erance The Northern Democrats general
ly are in excellent spirits. They have
taken fresh courage from recent Radical
excesses, and feel confident Of raising a
storm in November that will sweep over
the Northern States and leave but the de-
tested memory of the Radical party in its
track.
Upon the whole, we do not regard the
prospects az cherries as do most of our
suflering fellow-countrymen at the South.
We have n strong conviction that Radical
iniquities will be poisoned by their own
internal corruption, and that we have only
to make up our minds to endure in the flu
ture as we have in the past, strain every
nerve for selE-defense, and ply every energy
to build up our ruined fortunes, TO become
once more, and at an early day, a free and
