The South has purchased largelyof dry goods,

than in any season since the war. am told
by Western men now stocking up for spring
that the prospects for business in the West
are better than they were this time last year.
Money, they say, is, rather scarce at present,
but they believe it will soon become more
plentiful, and that every man who manages his
business carefully will come out well OF the
end Of the year. The publishing trade, too, is
looking up, and promises well. A large num-
Der OF new works are in press, and the publish
ers calculate on better times than they had last
year. The city retail trade hangs back, except
on Broadway, where it always sets in month
earlier than anywhere else. The small deal
ers still have quite enough to do to make both
ends meet, and as many Of them will have to
pay higher rents this year than4ast, they are
not likely to make much money. But since
the war the small dealers have not made much
money any season, and from the tendency Of

The ANDERSON INrBLLIaRHcER says:
"The Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel calls
"the attention of planters and others to the
"faot that the cotton tax was not repealed,
"but only suspended so far as the crop of

"well to bear this fact in mind when pitch

.tporary is mistaken, and that the act of Con-
.gress provides that all cotton grown after
1883 be exempted from tax"

ferred to was passed at the second session
of the Fortieth Congress, and exempts from

good judge of evidence when such willing
witnesses as R. K. Scott, Governor, could
be examined. Reams of paper were COW
cred with wondrous stories of rebel out
RACES, rebel threats, and rebel intimidation.
There was not vestige of truth in it. The
truth would not have suited q Radical Con-
pressional Committee. A resolution was
adopted by Congress that the claim Of any
person disqualified by the Fourteenth Con-
stitutional rendment should not be consid-
cred without the further orders of the House.
This threw out Mr.. Reed until his disabili-
ties could be removed. The next step was
to declare that Hoge had prima tacis title
to Mr.. Reeds seat, and Hoge now hopes to
walk over the course.
This is the whole eventful history. It
disproves the assertions so freely made that
the Radical party-sc6tt, Corbia l. Co.
sent him to Congress because they feared
that he would repeat the judgment Of Solo,
mon with modern variations. And it also
disproves the statement that the Radicals
felt that, as the unconstitutionality Of trio
of their laws was coming up for, decision, II
was necessary to have figure on the ap'
pellate bench that could give reason fol
the unreason that was in him. To have
translated him for these causes would have
been monstrously unjust; for it was no faull
of Justice Hoge, but his misfortune, thai
he knew nothing of the law. And yet this
skeptical public, which will not be convinced,
explains the whole transaction by declaring
that Hoge was elected judge because he was
no lawyer, and will take his sseat in Congress
because his Democratic opponent was cleo
ted. AS for the public praise which Hoge e1'
pects-we wish that he may get it.

The Abbeville segro Militia.

We have at present no later news from
Abbeville in regard to the calling out of
negro troops than was published in our
issue of Saturday. We learn, however, by
q private letter from Columbia, that no
arms were pat in the hands of the Abbe-
vile negroes, and that the movement looked
rather to having in readiness number of
oolored men who could be armed and called
into service at moments notice, than to
the immediate organization and equipment
of negro company.
F. j. Moses, Jr., the Adjutant- General of
the State, has gone to Washington to obtain
the quota of arms allowed by the United
States Government, and as soon as the arms
arrive negro companies are expected to be
formed in every district in the State.
