British Capital for tho ••nth.
We invite the attention ol our reader* to the
billowing article which appeared recently in the
Mew York Herald, under the foregoing heading.
The owners of cotton lands in our State, we
trust, will realise some of the benefits ot the
British enterprise to which the Herald refers:
" The English newspapers speak ot an agent
of British capitalists to this country, to ascertsip
how the owners of plantations In the South can
be assisted with capital to develop the resources
of their property. The agent, who, we believe,
is now in this country, is Mr. John Everett, ol
▲Ihollows Chambers, London, it is said the
object is to aaaiet both the small landowners,
white or black, and the large planters, and to
Inquire If good and available eecurity can be giv
en for loans. They ssy that If this can be done
the immense sums now locked up In England
might be Invested so as to realise a good and
safe return for British capital as well as to bene
fit the South. We have on several occasions
recommended British capitalists to turn
their attention to the South as the best
country in which to employ their abunduut
wealth. We have shown that capital, which
can hardly find Investment at two or three per
cent. In England, could realixelroin ten to thirty
per cent In the South, with ample security. But
if capitalist* wish to buy property there, they can
obtain It tor a trifle compared with what it is in
trinsically worth, and wbat it will be worth in
the market a few years hence. There never was
a finer field for enterprise end the realization of
vaat profile. The property of the Southern
States is well established, and there is less fear
of litigation or trouble about It than theroia, per
haps, about property in any part of the world.
Its productive capacity is well known, and there
would be nothing speculative or doubtful about
investments. We are glad to see this sensible
movement on the part of British capitalists, and
have no doubt, If it be followed up, that both
they and the suffering people of (he South will
he greatly benefited.
Washington, December 4,
A caucus of Republican Congressmen was
held to night pursuant to iliu tdllmviug confiden
tial circular issued a few days siuoo
Rooms or Titu Union Republican 1
Conoric"S|on ai. Committee, J-
Wasliliigtun, 1). t\, Dec., 18t)7. )
Mr: A caucus ut' the Union Republican
members of both Houses ol Congress will tie
held in the Hall of Representatives ou Wednes
day evening, December 4. at 8 o'clock, to hear
the report of the Executive Committee ou the
present condition of the Southern campaign, and
to cousullas to llio measures uecessary to con
tinue nud complete the organization of the parly
in the unreconstructed Mates. Your attendance
is earnestly requested, the object of the meeting
being inqxu tiuit. Hy order of
Hon. E. D. Moroan, Chairman.
Titos. L. Tullock, Secretary.
Senator Morgan presided, and Representative
Cullom, of Illinois, was elected secretary. Mor
gan said the objects ot the meeting w ere to con
sider tho best menus ot promoting the Interests of
the Republican party in the South. Gen. Schenck
made u report ol tho expenses of conducting the
Southern campaign thus iar, and the funds col
lected tor that purpose, showing that $40,474 60
lied been spent and $30,160 23 had beeu collected.
He gave a detailed statement ot the labor perform-
ed and documents distributed in the rebel Steles.
He urged upon the caucus a continuance of the
committee, aud the renewal ot Its best efforts, so
that the Republican party might get lull control
le rebel States. He suggested that parties be
ot the
sent down South to the Conventions now in ses
ion, to see that they adopted the right kind of
Constitutions. All I he information in the pos
session of tiie Executive Committee, he said,
came through the Freedmen’s Bureau and the
churches. He mentioned the Baptist and Metho
dist churches, North, particularly as very valua
ble aids. He recommended that the committee
have $20,000 raised immediately, to be spent du
ring the winter and spring.
Judge Kelley agreed with General Schenck,
except os to the amount to be raised. He thought
$50,000 would be no more than enough for the
great work that was yet to be done.
Mr. Ashley, of Ohio, thought the Republican
paity ought to buckle on its armor for a big fight
this summer, and lie knew ot no better help than
money to do the work. Congress ought imme
diately to amend the reconst ruction act so as to
allow a majority ot those voting to call a Con
vention. As it now stands it required a majori
ty of the registered voters, and lett it in the power
ot rebels and copperheads to keep the Southern
States out ot the Union. He wanted them all
iu to take part in the Presidential election.—
Otherwise, lie wasn't sure about success next
lull. Auotber thing that must be done was the
removal of every rebel now iu office in the South,
there was no telling what it would lead to. So
Congress must step in and put the rebels nut it
the generals wouldn’t.
Senator Chandler was the next speaker. He
said more had been accomplished than he
thought possible with the amount ot money ex
pended. There was no use in talking; U was a
question ot money, after all, and the Republican
party must walk up to the captain's office and
settle very liberally between now and the next
Presidential election, or the South would go to
the devil and the copperheads. He thought, if
necessary, half a million could be raised. The
party wasn't broke yet, nor no signs ot it.
Senator Corbett, ot Oregon, followed In a
speech, urging liberal assessments and prompt
payments.
Mr. Maynard, of Tennessee, came next, and to
the same purpose.
It was then proposed that a committee he ap
pointed to raise feuds, and that all employees
about t be Capitol and elsewhere, in the pay of
Congress, be called ou lor a donaiiou. This mo
tion was carried, and the cuucus adjourned. No
other subject but that indicated above was talk
ed <
The Impeachment Faction.
Id sackcloth and ashes <he impeachment fac
tion ol the rump Congress mourn over their de
feat—not as tha repentant mourn, but as di vile
do, gnashing their teeth aud indulging in foul im
precations at the sweeping condemnation ol tlu-ii
conspiracy against the President aud the Con
stitution they had sworn to support. 'I hi
Chief ot the mourning faction is Ashi.ev, ot
Ohio, who was recently repudiated by his own
congressional district. Next in the train ol
mourners who feel most keenly the rebuke and
the lall Jre of the impeachment project, tome lire
bombastic Logan and tbe brute Bctleii. \\ ail

sympathy for your shame, nor any for the man
Boctwell, who, In presenting tbe impeachment
resolution, was forced to defend himself against
charge?,which, lmd they been preferred in another
form, would have deprived him of his seat in
Congress. Tbe farce was a miserable one and
is now played out. The country have viewed it
with contempt and disgust. The President
has triumphed over hit enemies. One hundred
and eight to fifty-seven was tiie vote, and im
peachment is dead; dead too, politically dead,
are those who inaugurated that great crime
against tiie Constitution and the country, for
crime it assuredly was. For months, aud at an
enormous expense to tLe country, the committee
•at, the majority of it bent upon procuring test!
mony at any cost to impeach and depose the
President. “ Papers and persons” were sent for
till a mass of testimony was accumulated, num
bering, it is stated, over twenty-seven hundred
pages. This labor of hate has all been lost; but
it will never be forgotten by the American peo
pie; especially will it never be forgotten by the
several constituencies of Boutwell, Ashley, Lo
gan, and Butler. Bo may it be wltb all who en
couraged, or took part, in the dirty work!

The Charleston News of Tuesday last says :—
“ The telegraph announces simultaneously a de
cided rise in cotton Jand a steady fall in gold. -
These two facts afford good ground for the belief
that the turning point iu the long lane of adver
sity, which tbe Southern people have trod so pa
tlenily, Is near at hand, if indeed it be not alrea
dy reached. The stiffening of tbe staple In Liv
erpool is the herald of a revival ot busiuess and
a renewal of confidence throughout these South'
era States. Not only will tbe great planting in
terest.now prostrate and disheartened,experience
immediate relief, but all llie branches of trade,
tbe prosperity of which hinges, more or less di
rsctly, upon the production and price of cotton
will feel the same invigorating influence. The
decline of gold means that we ahall he able to
buy at a cheeper rate everything that we eat and
wear and use. Theso may not lie welcome tidlnga
to the holders of large stocks ol goods; but cornu
mere, who form the vast majority ol our people,
will rejoice at the news. The days of bitterest trial
for the South, we trust, are over; and, cheered
by the signs of a speedy and favorable reaction
In trade, and of tbe, to us, scarcely less Impor
rant political reaction which has set In at the
North, we can brace ourselves fur the woik of
1868, and prepare with fresh courage and deter
minatiou to carve out (nr this Southern country
a worthy destiny.”
We trust that our able and watchful Charles
ton cotemporary Is not mislakon in its news, as
embraced in the foregoing—that its ” cheering
signs " may be followed, not only hy speedy and
favorable reaction In trade, hut hy such enhanced
prices for cotton, us will bring relief to its grow

civ York correspondent of the Philadeh
hpr writes under date of lliu 4iU iust.:
rent rnucli talked of to-day is the Grunt
ituiiii. ,.t Cooper fnsiiiute this evening. There
a a hr ol secret history connected with it worth
i,ent ng. A few Oats ago thu Conservative
Ut piiolioaus (such ns Weed, Raymond aud their
ssociaies) cniuo together, and, alter a free dis-
u-sion of the political situation, concluded Ihut
i would lie a good card lo break ground tor
T ract. Tiiey wanted to be first in the field, and
be first to formally salute thu "coming msu.”—
heir arrangements went made accordingly, and
he intern ion was to cull a grand “ spontaneous
./tntuisikm” meeting in Union Square on Friday
.eniiur next. Unlortnuately tor their plans,
lowev.'r, the Radical Republicans (such as Op-
dyke, Spencer and Dodge) got knowledge of
.vtiai was in the wind, and so, not to be outgen-
railed, ilicy determined upon a flank movement,
the result of which was the call tor tiie demon
stration lliis evening. As Hie facts ol the case
ire nmv pretty generally known about town, the
nigh is against the Conservative ^Republicans,
i'lie Commercial Advertiser ot this evening
(Weed's paper) makes no allusion to the meeting
whatever.
There i3 good reason for saying that tiie pro
ceedings tlint were contemplated against Rev.
Stephen II. Tvnir, .fr., lor ins alleged breach of
discipline (in ibo Stubbs case,) have been drop
ped by the Ecclesiastical authority of the Epis
copal Church of this diocese, tor reasons no
doubt, satisfactory to themselves. Meanwhile,
t is worth notiug, the “ breath' s” ate multiply
ing. llev. Dr. Muhlenberg, ol the church of the
Holy Communion, preaching in Dr. Spring's
Presbyterian Church, on Murray Hill, and Rev.
Henry Ward Beecher doing the same tiling this

Business circles were rite again to-day with
reports of the suspension of this firm and that.
As many as eight or nine houses were mention
ed, but as it is difficult to authenticate them,
publication of names would be improper.
The failures mentioned yesterday have inten
sified the prevailing distrust of commercial
paper, aud discounts accordingly are reported
closer titan ever in the open market. Tbe banks,
however, are meeting tiie requirements of their
regular customers with freedom. Kates raoge
from 74 to 10 per cent. Loans on call 7 per
cent., with some exceptions at 9.
Tub Associated Press.—One of the most
efficient, because thoroughly organized and well
managed institutions iu the country, is the As
sociated Press. Few persons, Dot professionally
connected with newspapers, can appreciate tbe
important service daily rendered to the reading
world of America by this organization. It* net
work ol agencies extends over the whole Union
and the continents beyond tire sea. Punctually
every morning the merchant has hi* quotations
served him with his breakfast—and Liverpool,
Bombay, Havana, Sacramento, Paris and Alaska,
all yield their duilv quota ot news to satisfy the
public appetite. The master-spirit ot this huge
and complicated system is Mr. James Siinonton,
who, In the central office of the Association In
New York, holds in his hnud the myriad threads
ol this vast machine, and directs wftli admirable
precision at once the collection and distribution
ol tiie varied intelligence received. The arrauge-
menu are of a liberal character, and each news
paper in the country, at a comparatively h illing
coat, is put lu daily telegraphic commuuii iliou
with the lour quarters of thu globe.
Though thu news reports may not lie always
fauitie.ss, it ennnot lie denied that of lute they
havo decidedly improved, both In quality and
quantity ; and while the Southern press is served
so faithfully, it will be blow to desort a tried and
established organization, In favor ol any ephem
eral opposition, which mime needy adventurer or
discontented Journalist may choose to start.—

Mh. Gref.i.ey recently wrote to Senator Wil
son to exert his Influence to restrain the Ala
bama Convention from adopting extreme mea
sures. Senator Wilson writes General 8wayne
that the policy pursued by the Convention in
legislating for divorces, aud in oilier wuys tran
scending their authority, aud the ultra speecbea
of Mr. Uinghani aud men nt that cinss, ie doing
great injury to reconstruction, nnd bringing
odium ou the Republican party.— Telegram to
the '1Vines.
This is one result of the lute elections. Rut
pray what did Messrs. Greeley and Wilson think
of this matter beforef All that the Alabama
Convention baa done was, in the main, predicted
by the Democratic pressed aud orators, yet, thou,
these gentlemen poolqtoohcd all that was suid.
It they and thi-lr retainers are honest uttii, they
will confess outright tbat tbe Coiigressiouul mis
called reconstruction scheme is a swindle front
first to last, aud tbat it, rather than tiie conduct
ot a tew fanatics In Alubatna, ia “ doing great
injury to reconstruction nnd hringintr odium on
the Republican parly.”—AT. Y. Heraltl.

Montgomery, Dec. 11.—Gov. Patton line per
fected financial arrangements in New York for
the pay me at of interest on loreign debts due
January 1st, 1868, aud also secure:, an extension
ot time lor the payment oi the temporary loao
iioretolore negotiated in New York, uulil the
iutne can be paid from taxes collected, which
preveuts tbe s ite ot Suite bonds iu the present
depressed condition Ot Southern securities.
Messrs. Henry C. Semple, of Montgomery,
Joseph H. Speed, of Petty, nud eleven other
Conservative Republican member# of thu Recon
struction Convention, who protested against the
Constitution, ably vindicate their position.—
They assume that tiie action of the Conven
tion is iu opposition to the sentiments of the peo
ple of the North, expressed in the receut elec*
Units, and that the Cousiiiution adopted violates
tiie conditions of the formation of tho Republi
can party in Alabama, hy transcending the re
quirements of tiie reconstruction ucte, and ad
ding features of proscription nnd disfranchise
ment not aulhorited hy those acts. They be-
live the Northern people will not permit the
power ot their Government to be directed to tbe
debasement and degradation of the white popu
lation of the South. That they will not sentence
the white race ot tiie South to he the servants of
their former slaves, even ns a punishment lor re
bellion. They argue that the civil liberty of tbe
Northern people twil be endangered try the con
tinued exercise ot n pro consular rule, maintain
ed try lorce over an impoverished and mined peo
ple. The South admits tho thoroughness of con
quest, but trusts to tiie ninguauiiniiy of the con*
querors, and appeals now to Hie tribunal of the
last resort ot tbe people. Tiie political power
of Hie blacks Is coveted under tiie proposed sys
tem ot suffrage by political adventurers having
no Interest iu common witli tbe Souihcru people
as a weapon of offense, to tic wielded lor the ac
complishment of their selfish schemes of person
al aggrandizement, nud that (ids race will read
ily surrender itself to the arts and intrigues ol
designing persons who flatter their vanity and
encourage them in a jealous irate ot white-inhab
itants ot State.
The colored delegates in tiie Convention
moved as subserviently ut the beck of their rad
ical managers as ever slaves did ut the command
of their masters.'
Tbe amendment to the lull ot rights intro
duced by Keller, that common carriers should
make no distinction between citizens of the
State designed to secure to colored people seats
at the table and berths with whites on steam
boats, at hotels, and on cars, aroused considera
ble opposition ; and, threatening produce serious
discord in the Convention, whs withdrawn by
its authors and advocates. But thu colored del
egates, the protesting members are informed, ob
liged the radical innjnrity to promise them that
tbe Legislature should and would carry it into
effect,
The address alludes to the (net that the Con
vention refused to provide separate schools for
whites and blacks, nud simply provided iu Hie
Constitution lor Hie establishment of otto or
more schools iu each school district, hy which
if only one school should lie established iu a dis
trict, children ot both races must attend Hie
same school.
One of the standing committees unanimously
reported an article of the Constitution pioliibit-
ing the intermarriage of whites and blacks,
which was defeated, in deference lo Htn sensibil
ities of colored members, inauy uu tubers of llie
committee that made llie report receding from
their position aud voting to table It.
The eiguere of Hie.address further declare
that, entertaining tho views they do, they owe it
os a duty to thu people to warn them against
lending llitmselvua lo the ratification ol Hu: Con
stitution. They know not what I'utu may bo in
store for tho people, hut it can scarcely bu worse
than that which they will bring oil themselves
hy aiding in currying the Constitution into ef
fect.
