CONSTITUTIONALIST. AUGUSTA. GA. FRIDAY MORNING, NOV. 13, 1868 THE CHARLESTON MUNICIPAL ELEC TION—ITS LESSON. If we mistake not, the whites of Charles ton registered more than two hundred in excess of the negroes, and yet, a pestilent interloper and agitator named Pillsbury has defeated for the mayoralty Mr. Lesesne, an old and most estimable Caro linian. Not only did the whites out-regis ter the blacks, but numbers of the better disposed of the latter were anxious to cast their ballots for Lesesne. The result of the election, then, must be surprising to many who might well have augured a dif ferent issue. It seems very evident that there are many white men in Charleston who are attache. I to the Radical party, and we learn from the Mercury that a number of negroes who wished to vote for Lesesne were" ruthlessly driven from the polls by ruffians of their own color, or so thoroughly intimidated that they r efiained from voting altogether. Now, it appears to us that this Charleston election may well cause us to be apprehensive of Augusta.— Here, the blacks are considerably ahead of the whites on the lists of registry. Not a tithe of the labor expended in Charleston has, if report speaks truth, been employed in Augusta. Besides, have we not reason to suppose that, at least, one hundred of those wno are registered as whites will, for the sake of gain or some emolument, vote against the interests of the city and help swell the Radical majority with which we are now contending? There seems to be an easy sort of security dwelling in the minds of those who have this mattei more actively in charge. Is the security well founded, or is it only one of those pleasant delusions which frequently lie guile the sanguine and incautious? We hope our friends reckon upon their auxiliaries of success with some show of sound judgment and some unmistakable evidences of discretion ; but we warn them that they had better not take for granted what may be still in doubt, but go to woik as if they were far from being out of the woods apd witli a determination to risk nothing foolishly. Wc leave it to each in dividual property holder to deal with those he employs and nourishes who are now armed with a powerful ballot. If the ne groes have won in Charleston by the game of intimidation, it will be hard if those who have the same weapon in tenfold puissance cannot beat them at their own trick. We very much prefer that there shall be perfect freedom in the exer cise of suffrage, on all hands; but if a cor rective lias to be applied on the side of those most interested in good government, they will be mad as March hares if they do not exercise their authority to the utmost. In the election of last April, we heard many brave promises which, we believe, were in very few instances fulfilled. Let us see how many will lie made at this time, and wheth er they are made of the same windy mate rial as those of old. Fellow-citizens, re member the Charleston election, and, if you are not now specially alert, you will ere long 1 ave cause to bitterly and humilia tingly remember your own. Our New York Correspondence. New Yohe, NovomUor 0 The result In this State illustrates, in a most conspicuous manner, the deep and im placable hostility which a large number of our citizens,' of both parties, feel for Mr. Seward, the Secretary of State. In 1860, Mr. Seward made a speecli against the Rad icals, and predicted their defeat by 40,000 majority. The result was the re-election of Gov. Fenton by 15,000 majority. The next year, from open hostility to the Republican party, Mr. Seward changed and became its warmest supporter, and a defeat by nearly 50,000 majority was the result. The more pronounced Republicans were suspicious of something, and would not vote. This year they made a desperate effort to elect “ Mon itor” Griswold, but the Radicals gave him the cold shoulder; for weeks the Tribune, scarcely mentioned his name, and he run so heavily that the State was lost to Grant, although Hoffman is 20,000 ahead of the electoral ticket. The difference between Hoffmgu’s and Seymour’s majorities is, how ever, due wholly to the action of Democrats, either in refusing to vote for electors at all, or voting direct for Grant, At every poll large numbers were observed to throw down the electoral ticket and refuse to vote it. It will be found, when the official re turns shall come in, that the electoral vote is much smaller than the Gubernatorial, instead of larger, as is usually the case.— The increased majorities in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, and the loss of California, represent, precisely as may be, that unset tled political feeling which, though opposed to Republican recklessness of expenditure and disregard of constitutional obligations, was not quite ready to accept Democratic success, and which, rightly directed, might have received a Conservative success. But it is useless to enlarge upon what might have beeu. The future must attract the attention of practical men. It is evident from the result of the late election in the Southern States, that they can now afford to take General Grant at his word, and respond promptly and effec tively to his invocation, “ Let us have peace.” If they will do this we can have in the next House a Democratic majority. Let the carpet-baggers, and the scallawags, and the negroes do their worst, it is evident that they have not suliicient physical or moral stamina to maintain themselves. The history of parties is full of occasions in which they have been defeated by the ex pedients adopted to secure success. It must be remembered that anew census will be taken in 1870, when a vast change will be made in the centre of political power. The great West, which has voted unanimously Republican, will be greatly strengthened at the expense of the remain der of the Union. The-border States will be especial sufferers under the 14th amend ment, and New York city from its large alien population. Therefore it is plain that we get rid of issues arising out of the late war, and respond practically to practical ideas. The West can only be reached by the Democratic party, through financial issues, taxation of Federal bonds, reduc tion of the tariff, and similar matters, and it becomes us at once to pave the way for bringing such issues to the front. BUSINESS MATTERS —COTTON. The money panic has practically ceased, and appears to have been brought to an end by rumors of measures of relief from the Treasury Department. But while the state of the money market has had little effect upon cotton it is quite plain that a crisis has been reached in the market for that staple, which factors at once under stand and act upon. Stocks have begun to increase at all points, and there is a sud den termination of speculative confidence. Operators here begin to talk of a decline in Liverpool to 9d. and perhaps and to talk of it is h great means of promoting it. This means as low’ as 20 cents in this mar ket There is no doubt, however, that this decline will be followed by a reaction at no distant period in the crop year, but in the meantime will not those engaged in moving the crop find it to their advantage to go with the tide ? The planter who has push ed his crop to market is all right. WHAT A FASHIONABLE DRY GOODS STORE IS IN NEW YORK. The world of fashionable lady shoppers is on the qui vine in anticipation of the ' ening to the public of anew drygoods store in all its vast proportions. The store in question, as it now is, covers a space of about two acres, presenting on Broad way a front of 200 feet, and extending back a distance of about 300 feet, while it rises above to the height of eight stories* inclu sive of the basement and sub-basement. The crowning ornament of this extensive edifice is, however, the dome, which, siity by one hundred feet in dimension, rises to the height of the building, where it is lit by an arched mosaic skylight of the richest design, while the floor beneath is composed of trrouud glass, which in its turn gives light to the basement below. This spacious dome is supported by iron pillars, beauti fully ornamented, which weigh from eight to ten tons apiece. Immediately under the dome is an oblong counter, allotted exclu sively to the sale of kid gloves, and one may form an estimate of the extensive scale upon which the affairs of this vast estab lishment will be conducted, when we state that the retail sales in this department alone amount to a half million, and require the services of twenty clerks. And as an additional item of interest, we may add that the number of employees number about 2,000. Os these, a considerable number are women, whose especial duty will be to at tend upon the lady customers ; and it may furthermore be of interest to ladies from more rural localities (and what city is not rural in comparison with New Aork ?) to know that one may enter this establishment in any costume whatsoever, and emerge therefrom a fashionable city lady, complete ly refitted irom head to foot, with the ex ception only of her shoes. Dressing rooms are provided, where the old may be laid aside and the new put on—both undergar ments of every description, ready made, and outer also, including even a Donnet, for the millinery department is large. And fur thermore, for the convenience of the ladies in particular, elevators on either side are provided, by which they can ascend to or descend from the different stories at their pleasure. Among other things in this mammoth establishment, no small atten tion is paid to upholstery, and hote.s, steamboats, and private houses are fitted up at a few hours’ notice. We may con clude by saying that this retail store is more than twice as large as any in Europe or on this Continent. PAINTINGS. On the 27th of this month the Academy of Design will be thrown open to the pub lic. At the Brooklyn Academy, a land scape by Bierstadt is on exhibition, which however, does anything but credit "to the acknowledged powers of this eminent artist. The subject is the portrayal of the burning crater of Vesuvius; but ip this picture there is nothing of the grasp or boldness which one would naturally look for from the hand of Bierstadt. It is indeed taine and com mon throughout, and .such as one might expect from a painter of very moderate ability. A flue picture is at Knoedler’s Bougerean’s—“ Sleeping Innocents.” The drawing and composition are excellent, and the delicacy of the flesh tints exquisite. — This fine work of art will be on exhibition for a short time longer only, as it has been sol 4pg Mr. August Belmont. AtSnedicor’s are a large uun.qor of first class American paintings, among which are landscapes by George Inness, one by Constant Mayer and sonic also by Coleman. NEW PUBLICATIONS. Among the new books lately issued, is one by Harper A Brothers, entitled “ The atrical Management In the West and South for Thirty Years.” This is interspersed with anecdotes by Sol Smith, the well known actor, now retired, and whose name alone will create a smile. This book, no doubt, will be popular, gnd contains in its pages a great amount of fun and hurpor. Mrs. Ann S. Stephens, too, has sent forth to the world, from her prolific biain, another work, “ Ma bel’s Mistake,” the scene of which is laid on Manhattan Island, Another work of theatrical interest is issued also by Hurd & Houghton, “The Tragedian,” being an es say on the histrionic genius of the elder Booth. Another work of a different charac ter, but which will A>ad r by many, is “ The Trotting Horse of America: llo\y to Train and Drive Him, with Reminiscences of the Trotting Turf,” by Hiram Woodruff. As the author stood at the head of his pro fession as a trainer and driver of trotting horses, and as the book in question is the matured result of forty years labor in that line, his method may be accepted by turf men ns very high authority, Another work, issued by 8. D. Bru.ee, Is the “ American Stock Book,” which will ne sought after and studied by those who take delight in tracing the pedigrees of horses and the results achieved upon the turf. A book, which wi 11 be of interest to de vout Catholics, is one entitled “ 4p«stolic and Infallible Authority of the Pope,” by F. K. Wessinger, D. D., Missionary of the So ciety of Jesus. The chief object of this work is, as may be supposed, to prove the infallibility of the Pope and his apostolic authority, and the various testimonies and authorities in establishment of these points are brought forward with ability and in tiie style of an accomplished writer. Willoughby. I inancial. The following, which we take from the money article of the New York Times , under date of the 9lh inst., will prove of interest to many ol our readers: The banks show another heavy liquidation in loans and deposits, corresponding with the eoutinued and much, intensified money pres sure and Stock Exchange panic through the week, which reached a condition of things on Friday nlteruoon amounting almost to a gen eral crisis. The semi-official announcement the follow ing rooming; from Washington, that the Sec retary of the Treasury had decided to exercise his authority to re-issue the greenbacks with drawn from circulation last year, or the 3 per cent, greenback eettiQcates withdrawn or pre sented for redemption last month, if needful to relieve and restore confidence to the inouey market, had almost the immediate effect of re ducing the cost of money to the brokers from 7 per cent, in gold and a daily commission, to 7 per cent, in currency. Early in the day some extra rates or commissions may have heeu paid lor carrying overstocks until Mon day, but alter 2 o’clock the offers ol balances by*money lenders at simple 7 per cent, interest were more than equal to the demand, and the market left oft comparatively easy. The differ ence in the cost of money as compared with the severe stringency of Thursday aud Friday, decided as it seemed to be, was not so signifi cant of the improved state of things, ns the prevailing reliance upon the ability and pur pose of tiie Govci nment to afford further re lief if necessary. The trying, not to say terri ble, ordeal, through which the market lias passed during the week, is illustrated by the Hank Statement, which shows that the further large sutu ol nearly lour and a half mil lion of greenbacks has been “locked up” for effect npou the Stock Exchange, making alto gether a loss of over ten millions greenbacks iu this direction, over and above the amounts known to have been received by the banks in the same time from the neighboring cities.— The estimate, therefore, is not an extravagant one, that Irom $12,000,000 to $15,000,000 in law ful money has been withdrawn from the use of the market in two weeks. On the present bank statement the loss of currency deposits is over ten million ol dollars, of which $4,423,000 was drawn in greenbacks, and $5,753,000 drawn to pay off loans and discounts to the banks them selves. On the other hand, the banks gain $5,82(5,000 in gold for account of depositors and lor their own account, collected at the Treasury for November iuterest. The net dif ference against the general deposit lino is $6,391,000. The net difference in favor of the lawful money basis, greenbacks aud gold, is $1,403,000; raising the aggregate excess of gold and greenbacks, over the required 25 per cent, lawful money security to the cash liabili ties of the banks, from eight millions last Mon day to eleven millions this morning. Hut as a large share ol the security is now in gold, un equally distributed tVa few of the large banks, and therefore of comparatively little practical use to the great body of the Clearing House As sociation iu the adjustment of their daily set tlements and legal tender averages, the Sec retary of the Treasury, on being satisfied of the critical-though wholly exceptional —condition of the bank movement In its relation to the money market, the de mands of trade, aud the credit of the Govern ment itself, made public, late on Friday night, through the telegraphic reporter at Washington for the Associated Press, his decision and pur pose to relieve the market in the manner re ferred to— if, after such an announcement, it should be found needful. A subsequent tele gram from Washington also intimates that he has reconsidered his recent hasty (and in view of the plain intent and meaning of the acts of Congress, substituting $75,000,000 of 3 per cents, for a corresponding amount of compound legal tender, unwarranted) decision to the effect that these certificates being once redeemed coold not be reissued. As the banks in the last fortnight were compelled to present a large amount of this class of their Jgwlul money se curity for greenbacks, owing to the withdrawals and locking up of (he latter, the decision that they could not be replaced caused an aggrava tion of the pressure, which was only partially relieved by the resolution of the Clearing House to make settlements in these certificates in place of greenbacks, or, in either or both indiffer ently, But the difficulty is now wholly removed by the Secretary, in connection with the timely and sensible change' of rule by the Clearing House Association. We give to this reversal by the Secretary of his first decision, looking to a contraction of the three per cents, even more importance than to his annonneement that he will, if need be, and as he has clear authority to do, resort to a reissue of greecbacks to an rfmount equal to the demandß for relief, as against the outrageous movement in Wall street to forestall the ordinary supply of green backs at a critical period of the Fall and Winter movements of produce, and of the preparations making by onr domestic commission and foreign importing merchants lor the Spring trade. The Secretary is to be commended for this action. It is what every wise and judicious Finance Minister should be prepared for. It may be likened to the*repeated relaxation iu cases of great commercial emergency and finan cial distrust, of the Bank of England act of 1844, by authority of the First Lord of the Treasury and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, with no distinction as to the immediate effect in the restoration of confidence, without resort beyond a few millions ol currency, (and in some instances, as we believe the relief will prove in the present case,) without expanding the circulation at all. But there is this marked difference in support of our Secretary of the Treasury. He relaxes no law on the subject; he transcends no authority; he requires from the President of the United States, as the Bank of England requires from the Prime Minister of the Crowu, no pledge that an act of indem nity will be passed on the meeting of Congress, as on the rneetiug of Parliament, for no statute has been violated or temporarily suspended. The gold market was advanced 2a2>£ per cent, on the first telegram, referred to above, from Washington, because mention was made that while the pressure continues the Secretary will suspend his sales of gold to meet his wants for currency. It might have been desirable to Lave this promise out of his measure of relief, but it is too well known in Wail street, that in such case the most absurd rumors Would have started to neutralize the announcement in re spect to greenbacks and three per cents, to the effect that gold sales would be continued to large amounts. The Secretary, therefore, adopted the oilier course to silence, in ad vance, all such expectations, even at the hazard of a temporary rise in gold on mere speculation —for it is wanted at present for no other ob ject, and will not be, before an easier money market will authorize a fesumption of 6ales to the extent of current customs receipts. The trade of the past week, though interfered with somewhat seriously, was fair for the season, both in imports and exports and in the receipts fpr customs. The cotton movement is active, and at weji-sustained prieps both here and at Liverpool. Messrs. Easton, in their Circular of Saturday, place the receipts of the week at 74,256 bales, the exports to Great Britain and ttie Continent at 36,150 bales ; the receipt* for the season 394,334 bales, against 246.163 bale# to the same date Uat seagon. The Stock Exchange suffered severely iu ail departments, including the public funds, and the fluctuations were unusually violent, audup to Friday night in the downward direction, but there was altogether a better state of affairs at the close on Saturday. The Treasury Office paid out during the week (including prepayments on Saturday, October 61,) on the JJoyerpber gold interest, $10,707,000 in gold, and received in gold cus toms, $1,971,000.

H. McCullough, Secretary of the Treasury. IFrom the Charleston Courier. Election in Charleston. The various voting precincts in the city were crowded yesterday at an early hour. Notwith standing tho rain that prevailed there was a long line of voters at each precinct with um brellas of every description, aud without uni brdWs. At Ward No. 2 there assembled a large crowd of colored men, every one armed with a club, and many wearing ribbons iu their coats. These men during the day became excited, and for a time a not was apprehended. They mobbed every colored man who attempted to vole any hut the Radical ticket, aud during the entire day, by their noisy, boisterous aud threatening manner, created an apprehension of a disturbance. Their evident aim was to in timidate, but it is needless to say that in this they failed. The white people were determined to exercise their franchise, and they did it des pite the threatening aspect of the crowd. We have frequently called attention to the presence at these places of idle vagabond boys, who cir culate among the crowd, and often succeed in creating a row. Os these there were a large number preseut, and their presence had much to do with the excited condition of the crowd. At the Third Precinct of Ward No. 3, there was also a large crowd of excited negroes, evidently with the same object in view.— Owing, however, to the calm and dignified de meanor of the whites, there resulted no breach ot the peace, and the polls closed without a single disturbance of any importance, save those raised by drunken and excited mobs of black men. No better proof that the citizens ot Charleston did their whole duty can be found than iu the fact that gentlemen, venera ble men, whose hairs had whitened with the snows of many winters, and who had not been at the polls in many years, came out yesterday and helped swell the vole for peace and pros perity. It is also a notable faet that while the majority of ignorant eolored men were "wed ded to their idols,” and afraid to vote for the man whom they knew was best fitted for the position ot Mayor ot Charleston, because they were bullied into voting for the “League” candidates, a large number ol sensible, intelli gent, colored men, Republicans, too, had inde pendence enough to vote conscientiously. Upon the whole, there is every reason for congratulation, in the fact that the public peace was preserved inviolible throughout the heated aud excited canvass of yesterday. The good name of Charleston has not been sul lied. Butler Selling “ Niggers ” in Lowell. —Butler, the Beast, is about the only man liv ing against whom we would take the testimony of the “ poltroon,” Gen. Kilpatrick. For this reason wc give what the latter said of the for mer in a recent speech in Massachusetts: “On the afternoon of the departure of Mr. Butler in the bteamer Spaulding, lor Charleston, South Carolina, when the Democratic Conven tion was to he held, he dined with several gen tlemen at a public hall in Boston, and to one of the gentlemen -(whose name 1 will give when General Butler asks me for it, or denies this charge,) he said: ‘ Sir, lam going to Charles ton to influence the Democratic party to put in their platform the Dred Scott decision, and I propose to fight it out on that principle nntil I can buy and sell a nigger in the streets of Lowell, as I can buy and sell a ponnd of can dles, lor by G—d, sir, it is my constitutional right.' ” — Exchange.
