WHAT RADICALI5M HAS ACCOM-
PLTsHED IN SOUTH CAROLINA.

A correspondent of the New York
SIN, writing. from Beaufort, 5. c.,
draws a melancholy picture Of the
condition of affairs in that region.
which, under the oppressive taxa
ton following negro and carpet
bag rule, seems given over to hope-
less decay. Vast fields of the rich
est lands of South Carolina lying
along the coast counties are now in
weeds, and year by year the pros
pect grows darker. But these
abandoned plantations, though they
have ceased to be productive, do not
escape the tax gatherer, and the
consequences is continual success
ion of sheriff and tax sales, the land
often selling at one dollar or even
less per acre.
This state Of things has given
the freedmen great opportunities
which they have entirely failed to
improve. For eight years the ne
groes have been free, and these fer
tile plantations open for their cul-
tivation on the most liberal terms.
The laws Of South Carolina have
steadily favored them in preference
to the whites. All the burdens of
taxation have been placed on the
white mans back, and a better
chance for the remunerativc exer-
else Of industry was never offered to
any people than has been presented
to the colored population of TIE sea-
board counties. But they have neg
lected to take advantage Of these fav-
orable conditions, preferring to turn
their attention to politics. They are
charmed with the thought that men of
their color sit in the Legislative halls,
and it is the ambition of every ig-
norant field hand to figure as a
member of the Legislature at least,
while visions of still higher honors
present themselves in the magma
lions of the more enterprising.
There is not an American citizen
of African descent in the whole
State probably but feels himself
competent to assist in making laws
which, when put in print, he could
not by any possibility read; and
thus in their eagerness@ssto exercise
their influence in political affairs the
South Carolina freedmen have neg
lected to render themselves inde-
pendant by honest industry, and
have become the tools of adventur-
ers who have enriched themselves
while running the people both black
and white. And the spoils secured
by the blacks who have succeeded
in their political aspirations have
served to stimulate the zeal Of their
less fortunate brethren, as a lucky
hit in policy playing made by den
izen of Thompson street incltes
every negro within the circle of his
acquaintance to fresh investments in
the delusive game.
Meantime more ragged, worth>
less, and demoralized set of hui
man beings cannot probably be
found than the lazy, thriitless freed
men who have the supreme control
| of affairs in the State Of South Gar
olina. In their case it appearance
evident that the exercise ofthe free
mans privilege has not proved much
of blessing to them or to their
white neighbors either.

THliESA EARLY.

We wish to impress the fact upon
the minds Of our farmers that wheat
for August delivery will bring ten cents
more per bushel than it will in Septem-
Der, and would urge upon them the
Importance of getting it to market this
month if possible. We notice that Mr..
Oliver Dalrymple the wheat raiser, OF
the State will commence on the 18th
Of this month to thresh his grain from
the shock and will put four steam
threshers in the field to do the work.
He expects to have the most of it 10:
market before the month expires.
We think his good plan, if it can
be done, even if the grain is not sold
at oace. When one takes into account
tho cost of boarding hands and time
required to do the stacking, it will fig.
ure up as much and in most cases more
than the loss occasioned by the grain
not sbelliDg perfectly. Once in the
granery, it is safer by long ways than
in the stack, and if the market happens
to be good it can be sold at any time
Take time by the forelock in farming
as you would in any other business, and
place yourself in such positions as that
you can avail yourselves of good prices
for your poduce when opportunity Of

From tie New York Tribune. % .
We are not certain but the relief of
the farmers will ultimately be- found
in . new trunk line, built by private
capital without any help from the Gov
eminent, aud used exclusively for the
transportation Of freight. Not that it
will cheaper freights, by Introducing
a new element of competition, but be-
cause it will reduce the cost of trans.
portation to the company: 1t has al.
ready been explained Why freight
train running on track used for mix
ed traffic, lodging passe niger trains,
and waiting 1t switches, consumes on
the journey more than twice its actual
running time. The work that it does
in ten days. under the present. system,
could be done in five If it had the track
to itself, and done with less wear and
tear and much less expenditure Of fuel.
Mr.. Vanderbilt recognizes this fact,
and is providing q double roadway for
the New York Central which will not
only greatly reduce the cost of moving
freight, but more than quadruple the
capacity of the road. Do for the whole
route what the Directors of the New
York Central are doing for section of
it, then enlarge the Erie Canal, and
the transportation difficulty will be re-.
Geved, even if it is not removed.
