PA.WSON GA. MAB 1, 1807.
Monr. METE'ias.—According to the
French astronomers, another mcte-iic
shower will occur next August. The
anncupccmeut is mode in ample tinie,
so that thoso who teel interested can
take their measures ..ec Tfiugly.
The negroes of Term ease seem to be
acting independently, but in subordina
tion to the Radisais. They batfo held
conventions in a number of counties,
and in all, so far as wc have seen, have
Bomina'cd iirowalow for ro election of
Govcnor.
A Yankee copperhead paper expresses
the opinion that the policy of spending
money in building schools and teaching
the alphabet to little darkeys, is well
enough in its place, but that the more
pressing necessity is for something to
keep the freedmen from starving or
freezing. Radical philanthropy is al
ways applied to the sufferer’s head,
when in fact it would generally bo more
serviceable if applied to the stomach.
The Cotton Tax to Remain —The
tax on tho production of raw ootton is
not likely to bo taken off, as the Com
mittee on Ways and Means refuse to
recommend an alteration thereof. Well,
gays the New Orleans Times, though,
as we have heretofore sail, there is just
such inherent property in taxing the
production of wheat "or corn as tho
growth of cotton, and although the ten
dency of the law to stimulate tho pro
duction of cotton in othor countries, it
will also tend to drive the manufacture
from the North to the South, where it
is grown. The signs also are, that
the English arc turning their attention
to the establishment of manufactures in
tho South. We see reported recontly
not a few venturers of English capital
in tho direction of cotton and other
manufactures! There are some at* no
tion toward South Carolina j but Geor
gia and Alabama arc also reported by
the agents of English houses to hold
out invtting onportuffitics.
Charleston.
We recently visited this famous
“city of shells," and were somewhat
surprised at the small showing left by
the extensive bombardment of the
war. Notwithstanding tho very large
area still bowing in ashes to the rule
of tho firefiend, Charleston is rapidly
regaining tho appearanco ol its former
self. Wc found business rather dull,
and businessmen considerably dei*r«m
ed; but were glad to see a disposition
on the part of many to make their city
what it was before tho war, in tho
way of a competitor for tho trade of
the South with Savannah and the
Northern markets.
Happening to be near tho Accom
modation wharf when the signal was
given fur the leaying of tho ferry boat,
we got aboard, and sood found our
self rounding the renowned artificial
Gibralter, Fort Sumpter. We looked
with prido upon its liatti red walls;
and on seeing tho rnound9 of iron that
had been sent there from the ugly
cannon’s mouth, instinctively thanked
Providence that “duty called" some
where else during the transaction. In
due time we landed at Sullivan’s Is
land. It may be that romance is out
of our line, but if thero was any in tho
visit, we “couldn’t see it.” Suffice it
to say the island wears the sumo ap
pearance that any other island would,
with tho samo surroundings uuder
similar circumstances.
But our chief enjoyment of tho vis
it was in the kimlly tendered hospital
ities of tho Mills House. This is
doubtless the best hotel in the South.
A more gentlemanly or competent
man for engineering the institution
than Mr. Purcell, could not bo found
JSlegaDtly furnished rooms, polite, at
tentive waiters—everything to make
one feel at homo. But preeminently,
in tho estimation of an editor, stands
the eatables—those splendid, viands—
our appetite 'rows wolfish at the re
membrance. There was eveiw thing
that could be called for—and * veral
things that we couldn’t call for on ac
count of their names—(French dishes )
But we’ll “know the ropes” next time
if Mr. Purcell doesn’t find out too
much about editors apetitos before
that time. Wo advise our Iriends to
stop at the Mills House.
The most energetic, reliable, and
liberal wholesale business houses of’
Charleston are represented in our col
umns. They are all of the right
stamp, and woio tried by our people
before the war. When you start in
person, or send orders to
Charleston, glance over tho Charles
ton cards in the “Journal.”
The final and complete evacua

It will be seen that i only differs
from ‘he original House Bill iu tba', th
power to appoint the uii'Upry com

the United States and given to th-■ l’res.
idi'Dt, and that an additional station i.-
added, Jaelaiing that, upon the accep
tance of certain terms therein fixed, and
the ratification'of the proposed amend
oarnts of ibe Constitution by either of
of the Statcb included in the Bill, such
State stub be admited to rcprcseutatioo
in tho Federal Government.
The latter provision is the Blaine
amendmout, with very slight altera
tions, which was defeated in tho House
upon its original introduction on tho
passage of the House Bill. •
The friends of the Bill havo sufficient
strength iu both Houses to pass it over
his veto —that they will do, so, the his
tory of their legislation for the hst three
weeks leaves us no reason to doubt.
80 far as the virtual effect of this bill
upon the country, and especially that
section which it is more particularly dc
signai to operate upon, is concerned,
there is a great diversity of opinion—
the majority of conservative men and
journals looking upon it as the final
overthrow of our system cf free repre
sentative government, and the setting
up of the irresponsible and tyrannical
despotism of a bitter and unrelenting
majority in the Congress of tho nation.
Having passed both li nns, with va
rious amendments, limiting the fran
chise in the excluded S ates so as to
exolude those who have boon in any
way connected with the Confederate
cause, and there being sufficient force in
the radicals to carry it over the head of
the President, it may be considered law
Our people should begin to prepare
themselves for its speedy execution in
our midst. Every one should earnestly
endcaver to avoid every act or word
whieh can be tortured into a defianeo ol
law, for its authors. We are in no con
dition to resist their legislation, either by
force or argument. Lri us do our duty
and, with as much patience as we oat;
command, calmly await a final adjust
ment of all the matters in dispute be
tween the two sections. Turning our
eyes, a9 far as we ean our thoughts from
politics, and the conduct of the Govern
ment, let every one devote his whole
time and energies to building up and
restoring our lost fortunes and reviving
our drooping indu. t-y. The right will
certainly triumph in the cud.
Who are Disfranchised by the
ftecuiivtrnrtieu Bitl ?
It will be seen that this Bill estab
lishes military rule in the Southern
Stares, confeis suffrage upon tho ne
gro, and disfranchises many of our
citizens; i. e., all thoso who arc des
ignated in the third section of the Con
stituticnal Amendment.
Said third flection roads as follows;
“No person shall be a Senator or Hep
reseritative in Congress, or Elector of
President and Vice-President, or hold
any office, livil or military, under tho
United States, or under any State,
who, having previously taken an oath
as a member c f Congress or as an offi
cer of the United States, or as a mem
ber of any Sta.e Legislature, or as an
executive or judicial officer of any
State, to support tho Constitution of
the United States, shall have engaged
in insurrection or rebellion, or given
aid and comfort to tho enemies there
of. But Congress may, by a vote of
two-thirds of each Ilouse, remove’such
disability.”
This clause, it would seem, was
drafted with special reference to Ar
ticle VI. of the Constitution of tho
United States, which roads as follows :
“The Senators and Representatives
before mentioned, and tho members of
the several State Legislatures, and all
execut've and judicial officors, bo'h of
the United States and tho sevoral
States, shall be bound by oa*h or affir
mation to support tins Corißtritution.”
This provi uoq has reference only to
Governors, Judges, Chancellors, etc ;
and to such only it would seem to us
the above section of the Constitutional
Amendment refers.
Os State officors, therefore, this
would disfranchise tnombors of the
Legislature, tho Governor, Lieutenant-
Governor, the several Judges and
Chancellors. Tho Washington cor
respondent of the Baltimore Suu writes
as follows :
“As now constituted, luliy one
third of the white men of the Southern
States will be disqualified, not only
from silting in the- constitutional > cn
ventious to be called, but even from
voting for the members thereof. Mr.
Sherman said it would disfranchise
10,000 only. Mr. Buekalew thought
60,000, but the real number will not
fall much short, it any, of 200,P00. —
The debate, which ensued on the uiu
tiou to concur, was lengthy, but not
generally of much interest. The two
Massachusetts Senators took directly
diverse ground. Mr. Summer wanted
all the rebels disfranchised. Mr. Wil
son wanted every man, white and
black, to live the oallot, all thorebeli
and all the in-grot*. Mr Cowan and
.Mr Hendricks again stated their ob
jections to tho bi’l. 'Mr Johnson, in
a!n icf 'uf most affecting speech on
tho sad and desolate condition ol the
rii ulhcru (States, and the utter hope
lessness of tii ir b ing restored to the
Union except through the consent and
• n the terms of Congress, expressed
his entire disapproval of every feature
of the bill, but so atxious was ho to
we.come these (Status back, and dis
pairing of any other method than that
indicated by the will ol tho majority,
he announced his intention of voting
lor the bill. His remarks produced a
profound imprursion, and Mr Wilson
and other Senators camo up and press
ed h:s hand in silence.
Wo do not think tho number disfran
effsed by tho immediate working ol
the Bill much over 500; but this, af
ter, all, is of no real importance ; as by
the spirit both of tho Constitutional
Amendment, and tho Bill just passed,
all who have in any way participated
in the lam war against the United
States will soon be disfranchised
Truly this is a sad hour for the South ;
of humiliation and bitterness. We
can do nothing but submit. Vue viclis
is uow at last cotne home to us.
Uhere is now naturally speculation
as to the probable course of tho Presi
dent. Upon a careful survey of events
at Washington, and a consideration of
tho various conflicting statements that
havo emanated from that quarter with
in the past few weeks, we havo come
to tho conclusion that Mr. Johnson
will give his sanction to this Bill. It
is understood that Messrs. Seward,
Stanton and McCulloch are in favor of
it, as a bans of settlement of the na
tional difficulty It is known that a
number of Democrats voted for it;
among them Senator Keverdy John
son, who is believed to be entirely in
the President’s confidence. The Pres
ident, it is said, will do'this to secure
tho peace of the country, while he at
tho same time, rids himself of tho
impeachment spectre, that has so long
been harassing him. A ftw days will
determine tho question.
Raise Peovisions. —The New Or
leans Picayune, ia remarking upon the
policy of devoting Jess attention to the
cultivation of cotton and more to tho
raising of provisions, says :
In the name of common sense let
our planting people grow their own corn
and make their own Dread and meat
Do this first, and give up the expiodop
idea that “cotton is king.” And when
Dome wants aru supplied then grow oot
ton, and the country will grow richer.
If the whole South could bn induced
to adopt a self-sustaining policy by mak
ing their own fcod and raiment, and
give the balance of their time to the
culture of cotton; no people on earth
would be as rich as wc w uld sood be.
A season is past, and another crop
of cotton has boon added to the record-;;
but as far as is visible effee s cm bo
seen on tho wealth -of the Southern
country, it had as well not have been
made. A million bales have been count
ed, worth a hundred million of dollars.
But it has gone—gone glimmering to
help other people and enrich other pock
ets. There is nothing left of it. No
more money in the South than before
it was gathered. Some may ask where
is iu? Wo point them to tho huge
heaps of freight and produce daily land
ed at the wharf, aud which, the moment
they touch the shore, aro wheeled to the
railroads and coast steamers to feed the
farming people.

Spring Truth*.
Tho New York Evening Post of Sa'.
nrday, the 19th instant, has the follow
ing remarks on the spring bu iness at
that point:
“Tho mercantile business of this city
with a largo part of of its general trade,
within a month or two, has been con
siderably interrupted during the past
week. The usual time for tho opening
for th'Fpriog wholesale business has ful
ly cotne ; but merchants are not very
active. A few buyers from the interior
arc here. Many of them who were sup
plied with goods last fall on credit, have
not yet cancelled all their obligations,
and besides asking extensions of timo
on their old notes, di sire fu ther orrd ts
for periods from three to six
months. Last ybar there were compar
ative larg" sales to these men, but a fall
i:i the prices of some classes of mereha •
dize made their trade generally unprof
itable. This explains their situation at
the present time.
Bat dullness of business in its rela
tion to tho country trade is by no means
the groat feature of mercantile and com
mercial affairs about, which our business
men feel solicitude. The questions de
pending upon the action of Congiess af
fect all branches of trade, and -some
sort of settlement is earnestly desired.
Our great mercantile houses are reduc
ing their stocks as much as possible,
and many goods have been sold at prices
considerably less than the cost of man
ufaciurc or importation. Within the
past two cr three weeks, however, there
has been a firmer feeling, and prices : r •
not only maintained but show signs of
advancing. Whether or not the change
will be permanent no one can tell.
The stoppage of wellcn mills and other
manufactories is not regarded by our
merchants as in any true sense an in
dication of disaster, but rather as a re
sult of stimulated production above the
•egitimatc requirements of trade. Some
of tho goods, mauufac ured in too great
quantitity, wire hur.rdly and careless
ly produced, and are unsuiied tu the
market.
The fdc| h : ch most accnra ely shews
the prevalent feeling of our best inform
ed merchants is-this: They are making
preparation to do a far smaller business
this year than last. The extent of the
diminution is estimated at one third
Sj large a proport'on of the busines of
the whole country entertain similar
views, and are consequently curtailing
tu. ir operations, that tho danger of a
disastrous financial panic is thought to
be materially lessened.
The Mew Babel.
Mack, the we'l-informed Washing
ton correspondent of tho National lu
te ligeneer, writes about reconstinc
tion :
Every day ushers in anew “plan.”
Anew crop of‘ theories" springs up
every night only to be mowed down
next duy, and grow up ag»an, with
slight variations, next night. As near
ly as 1 can ascertain, so little progress
ha#yet been made that the work of
teaiing dqwn, preparatory to bu lding
up, has not yet been commenced. If
anybody had said, two years ago, that
our national architects would at this
late day be still gazing at the charred
and ruined walls ol the fabric to bo
rebuilt, not knowing what stone to
save and what to j e ret, instead of
having advanced to the last stage and
finishing stroke of the edifice,ho wou’d
have been pronounced a false prophet.
They did erect something last sum
mer, and they labeled it completed
and ready for occupation, but now
they tell us it was on'y a temporary
structure, designed to shelter from a
coining political storm, and to be tom
down immediately after the danger
had passed over. They have accord
ingly torn down, and are quarreling
among themselves as to how much of
the old foundation shall remain, and
how much'of the debris shall be remov
ed. Since the days of Babel there
has been no sueh builders’ quarrel
