SOUTH CAROLINA-LOUISIANA.

Gov ScOtt's Message to the new Legislature
of South Carolina is O model of wise and
generous craftsmanship. Its recommendation
that the Legislature abolish all political disa-
bilities, so that every citizen may vote and hold
office, notwithstanding his prominence in the
late Rebellion, is the dictate of naked good
sense, but of that good sense true courage Is
vital ingredient. The leaders of the old aris-
tOcracy are still intent on recovery of their
lost power through disfranchisement OF the
Blacks. Gov Scott urges the enfrancmsement
of some thousands many of whom will use the
power thus conferred to disfranchise the givers,
if possible. But time will show that the NAL
contents will be half disarmed 10y this very
generosity. Let the present Legislature pro-
claim and enact Universal Amnesty, and 1t VIII
be wholly impossible for the minority ever to
subvert Impartial Suffrage South Carolina is
fairly on the high road to lasting peace; and
for this much credit is due TO Gov. Scott,
though he is a carpet -bagger."
Louisiana starts off less hopefully. 1t was
unwise if not presumptuous in her legislative
bodies to overrule the advice of Gen. Grant,
and exact the test-oath of the Democratic mi
nority. "All things are lawful to me-" says the
great Apostle; DuJ All JHlIlSS HUb tApS-
"dient;" and Lieut.-GOv Dunn may proftably
mediate on those weighty words. The Colored
race have been long enough under the heel of
oppression to have learned that it is never best
to push an advantage too far-that he who is
up to-day may be down tomorrow, and should
keep that contingency steadily in view. The
chap who, being in Rome made his most pro-
found obesance to statue of Jupiter, saying,
cold fellow, if you shall ever be up again,
remember that | respected you in your day
"Of adycrsity," illustrated the true theory. We
know how much can be said on the other side
New Orleans massacre, and all that-but we
insist that Lieut.-Gov. Dunn might learn a
wholesome lesson from Gov. Scott, if he is not
above being taught by White man.
We must still hope that Gen. Grant will be
heard and needed in Louisiana. Mr.. MILAN
and his cOmpatriOts should be quite certain
that they will never more need the protection
of the Army before they protest its authority
and seek to dismiss it from the State.

reduced by one-half the value of shares in
Laws Mississippi scheme, it supposed that
they would decline further; but capitalists said.
4" If the Government can take one-half to-day
sit may take the other half tomorrow" and
refused to touch them at any price. What
was meant for reduction proved utter ruin.
1t is urged that other Governments have
dealt thus with their creditors. So they have.
Villainy is not now patentable-it is very old
discovery. But has any Government ever levied
ten per cent. arbitrarily or its debt and on
that alOne9 We reckon not.
We entreat Congress to pause and consider.
There is a right and wrong way to secure a
reduction of the interest on our National Debt.
The right way was traced out with finger OF
light by the late Republican National Conven-
ton. The wrong way is that pioneered by MIR.

In the Senate, yesterday, the credentials of
II. w. Osborn, United States Senator elect
from Florida, were presented, and after con
siderable debate they were received, and Mr.
Osborn was sworn in. The Civil Appropriation
bill was then taken up, but was not disposed
of. A resolution of the House to adjourn on
July IS was tabled for the present. Mr.. Bout
well gave notice in the House of his intention
to offer new Funding bill, to take the place
of the bill which is to be reported by the Com
mittee on Ways and Means taxing interest on
Government bonds. Another effort was made
to table the River and HarbOr Appropriation
bill, but it failed, after which the measure
passed. A resolution was passed, by vote OF
81 to AZ, to adjourn the present session on
July 15 Mr.. Delano offered resolutions assert
ing the power Of Congress in the matter of
making treaties, and then the bill making ap-
preparations for the purchase of Alaska was
debated during the remainder of the session.

The English House of Lords had on Monday
night an interesting debate on the Irish Church
BILL There was a large crowd-sOmething quite
unusual in the House of LOrds-On the floor
and in the galleries, anxiously waiting for the
result of the division, which took place at 3
o'clock yesterday morning. The bill was of
course rejected, 1872 Bishops, Dukes, Earls, and
other Lords voting for rejection, and 81 for
adoption of the bill. The minority is larger
than many expected, and the earnest speeches
delivered in support of the bill by Earl Russell
and the Duke of Argyle indicate that the
leaders and the majority of the Liberal Lords
are sincere converts for the disestabshment OF
the Irish Church. The resistance of the Lords
cannot fail to help the good cause, both in the
House of Commons and among the people.

THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE is published this

TIE WEEKLY TRIBUNE is published this
morning. 1t is the largest and cheapest news
paper in the world, its 4S columns containing
more reading matter than is anywhere pub
lished for the same price. Its circulation, i'm
mense as it is, may be still further increased.
Before the issue of another number the Demo
cratic candidate for the Presidency will be in
the field, and the canvass fairly upon us. Let
all who desire the election of Grant and Col
fax help us to circulate THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE
as one of the surest means toward that end.

Gen. Candy has closely followed in the wake
Of Gen. Buchanan in issuing orders which will
promote the objects sought to be obtained by
tbe Omnibus Reconstruction bill He has re-
moved the Governors and Lieutenant Governors
of North and South Carolina, and appointed III
their stead the officers chosen at the last cleo
tions. He has also ordered that no judicial,
legislative, or executive officer shall be required
to take any oath other than is prescribed by the
Constitutions of their respective States.
New-York tribune., 1868-07-01

The dispute between the employing and the
employed Bricklayers with regard to the hours
of work and the rate of wages has thus far
been prosecuted in excellent temper. Some of
the volunteered statements of the case of the
journeymen have not impressed us fav0rably;
but no one is responsible for those, the writers
excepted. So long as it is agreed that any one
may work who chooses, and any one may hire
another on terms mutually agreed on, we real
ize no call for interference Any journeyman
has a right to fix price on his own labor and
say he will work for no less, (and the same as
to hours,) provided he comedies the equal right
of all other men to hire or be hired on such
terms rs they may deem satisfactory. Let
there be peace"
But a Mr.. Delaney made statement at a
late jouneymen's meeting which seems to us
damaging to the cause he professed to advo-
cate. He said that he was journeyman brick
layer for ten years, during which he was not
able (because of rain, frost, &c.,) to average
more than three days work per week. If brick
layers can only work in the average $50 to 200
days per annum, we think they might well
afford on those days to work more than eight
hours per day.

The Indian Peace Commissioners found the
Navajo Indians on the brink of starvation, al
though the Government pays from 100000 to

that the contract for supplying rations was let

not materially improve the chances of his con-

The government sold gold heavily in
New York on Monday, and probably did
the same yesterday. The New York 1Ii-
b,tne of the 30th ult. says:
"Money is much easier on call, and moth
ing is heard of gold interest or commits
sion. The demand for currency by inte-
rior banks for the usual April settlements
has now passed, and steadier market may
be expected. The quarterly statement did
not produce the recent pinch in money,
which must be attributed chiefly to the
drain Of legal tender and national notes,
with which alone farmers and others in the
interior are satisfied with making settle
ments. Money so employed does not re-
turn at once to general use, but remains
boarded for a short period, to the embar-
rassment of the banks from which it was
taken, as recent experience has shown.
Upon its restoration to commercial chan
nels, which will be done early in April,
money will agaiR be abundant at cheap
rates, and so remain. Commercial bills are
more saleable, but rates are without change.
For few names is taken, but good bills
can be had at SOLO per cent.
