"Land for the Landless :"

1t is good suggestion, thrown out by
that lively and sensible paper, the Winns'
boro' News, that the great party which is
preparing to grapple with and overthrow
Radical rule in South Carolina, should enter
the contest with bold and explicit avowsl
Of its policy and determination to provide
in good faith and by legitimate means for
the honest and homeless poor, be they blacks
or whites, tho, homesteads, the delusiva
promise of which has heretofore been so
potent an element Of success to the pack of
kuaves and adventurers who now control
our State government. Such policy,
while it would be just and beneficial in
itself, would at once rally to our support
thousands Of voters in every section Of the
State, who srs already more than half in-
clined to side with the party Of decenoy,
honor and truth. The laboring men, stung
with disappointment at the contemptuous
disregard Of the Radical leaders for SOL
emn pledges which were never meant to be
fulfilled, can now be readily made to under
stand that their only real hope Of becoming
prosperous and independent landowners,
must be through the cooperation Of those
who have land to sell, mules to hire, plan
cation implements to lend, credit to use for
the advancement Of supplies-in short, the
power to do the very things concerning
which the Radicals have been so lavish of
empty promises. The black man by this
time fully oomprehends that the boasted
enterprise Of Land Commissioner Leslie is
nothing more nor less than huge job, and
that the only result Of the scheme will be
to 6ll the pockets Of ring Of official spec
ulators at the expense Of the State. This
is all that R,dicaism in South Carolina has
done forits ignorant and ofedp|aRs tools.
But the landholders of. South Carolina by
prompt and liberal action have it now in
their power TO diFuse content and good
feeling among the laboring population, and
to treble the value of their property, by
Kidding themselves aud the State at once
and forever Of the monstrous incubus
of government which has no policy for
the present b1t to oppress and pluRder,
and no thought for the future beyond the
increase and psrpetustion Of its own power
to rob.

The w0rkmen engaged In the demolition OF the

work are the only remaining portions OF this much
but deservedy, abused structure. In the course Of
the present week the last screw win be loosened and

straddled the width OF Broadway win have vanished

1Ne BREWERS BANQUET.

The members OF the Association OF Brewers OF New
York and vicinity entertained themselves, their
friends and members OF kindred trades at banquet
yesterday evening. The brewers being opposed to
all sumptuary sunday laws they selected. perhaps
with purpose, a sunday for their joHihcation. And
that they did so may for an argument against
sunday laws, for although the company was numer-
ous and the good things OF the table plentiful, the
participants or the hospitality OF the brewers rose

Another Financial Proposition.

We publish this morning another letter from
the prolific pen of Hon. Thomas Ewing,
formerly Secretary Of the Treasury, on the sub
ject OF our national finances. II is addressed
to the Committee on Finance Of the United
States Senate. 1t will be seen that Mr.. Ewing
adheres to his repeated declaration that the
holders of the fiye-twenties have no legal right
to expect the redemption Of the principal of
those bonds in gold AYERS that immediate re-
sumption will entail an additional Indebtedness
on the debtor class in the country OF two
thousand millions, and augment the national
debt six hundred and fifty millions beyond
what IL Is now. This win, in the
opinion Of Mr.. Ewing, lead either to
reputation or national bankruptcy. He holds
that II is enough for the present generation TO
keep down the interest on the debt and leave
to our children and grandchildren, who will
be richer than we are, the payment of the
principal Pronouncing the plan Of q sinking
fund TO be the ''wid unrcasoned scheme Of an
ingenious visionary. Mr.. Ewing submits a
plan OF his own to end all our financial
troubles and perplexities. He proposes that
the Secretary Of the Treasury 30 directed TO
prepare and hold for delivery one thousand
million dollars In bonds, payable at the option
Of the United States after the expiration Of
forty years, bearing an annual interest Of
four per cent, payable semi-annualy, both
principal and interest in gold, and pledging
the proceeds OF the customs duties for the
payment OF the interest on the bonds until
ehey be paid and retired. This Is among the
latest propositions that has been made for the
purpose Of relieving our citizens from the ex-
cessive burden Of taxation and OF cxtricating
the country from its present financial cmbar-
rassments. II remains to be seen what
amount Of favor II will receive at the hands Of
Congress. The bondholding interest and the
immediate rcsumptionists will Of course op-
