COLUMBIA.
Wednesday Morning, July 24,1867.
Meeting? or Freedmen.
It is certainly worthy of coto, and
worthy of commendation, to observe
tho spirit winch has manifested itself
at recent mass meetings of the colored
people in thia State, oud in othor
places throughout tho South. In
general, they seem to have hot been
much influenced by mere political ha?
ranguera, or if'influenced in any de?
gree at first, they appear to be return?
ing to a proper sense of their own
interest in their new political rela?
tions.
In Sumter District, some days ago,
a largo number of the freedmen from
Salem and that vicinity assembled at
Mayesville Depot, and were addressed
by Beveral sneakers. The meeting
and tho epeal ara were all well re?
ceived. Ono very properly told his
hearers that ho thought frequent
meetings of the freedmen, at the pre?
sent timo, with a multiplicity of
speakers, could effect, no good pur?
pose; and especially were those meet?
ings, he said, unfortunate, at this
.vitally important period to tho crops.
Every hour lost at this time was a loss
to thc individual, and a misfortune
to tho country.
. \t a meeting held in Edgefleld Dis
tnCl \ last week, about 1,000 freedmen
Were present, and wero addressed by
Variot ' s persons. Mr. Andrew Ramsay
urged registration and voting; 'told
his hem crs ^i0J could only get land
by worki ??> on<^ advised uuion, mo?
deration ft ed harmony.
Henry Bv 1SS (colored) spoke also, iu
a very consol vative strain, aud seemed
to understam 1 tuo tru0 intent and
meaning of th e iQtaT equality and
fraternity. Ho 8aiJ:
"He should no t 6?> or wisl1 to 8?,
into a whito mon's parlor, or put him
solf upon terms of n social relationship
with the families of white men. But
tho freedman shouh 1 stft?d up for
that political equality which is now
his by law."
Other, speakers folio W?J? amour;
whom waa Maj. Stoue, of thG Freed?
men's Bureau, who advised tue freed
mou to register and vote, . 'ind that
they should aot bo deterred i. 'om tho
registration and ballot-box by artful
men, with threats of having tt-' pay
mouey for the privilege. The n meet?
ing was very orderly conducted, t ed
nothing happened, either in word or
deed, to mar tho dignity, harmon y
or propriety of tho assembly.
Wo notice the same commeudable
conduct in other parts of the South.
At Terry, Hinds County, Mississip?
pi, about 3,000 freedmen celebrated
tho Ith inst, by a barbecue. Ex-Gov.
A. G. Brown presided, and sevornl
other prominent citizens addressed
tho assemblage, as did a number of
colored speakers, whose speeches aro
reported to be sound and sensible.
"We have observed a number of
othor meetings throughout the South,
whero the ?ame spirit seemed to pro
vail, and wo note it*witli great satis?
faction.

IMMIGRATION AND EMIGRATION.-It
is stated that while white men are
coming from Europe and yellow men
from China, thousands of black emi?
grants aro leaving this country and
tho West Indies and aro pouring into
Africa. It is said that withiu a ; ' ort
time, moro than 1,300 blacks have
left tho United States. The revolu?
tion in our labor system commenced
by emancipation of the Southern
slaves is truly progressing rapidly.

A tuunol nuder tho Atlantic is to
bo tho next grand project. The
Home Ju tu-md says, tb at such a
gigantic proposition is oven now on
foot, aud that plenty of capitalists are
roady to engage in it as soon as the
plans aro arranged. It is said that
tho most eminent engineers, both in
America and Europe, have been con?
sulted, aud that they have drawn up
a voport which is perfectly feasible,
and only requires timo aud nionoy to
carry ont. Tho cain"tal required, it
is estimated, is {300,000,000 English
pounds.

Tile Veto Menage.
The New York Times, in ita com'
mente or the President's veto mes?
sage, soys:
The combativeness of the President
might be considered amusing, if th?
interests affected by his champion?
ship -.vero not vital in their character.
If it were merely a display of dialec?
tics, or a trial of relative degrees of
tenacity, or a contest to determine
?whether the President or Congress
could use tho sharpest words, the
country might look on with sublime
indifference. Whether Congress dis?
posed of Mr. Johnson, or Mr. John?
son bullied Congress into polite be?
havior, would be an issue calculated
to keep alive curiosity, if nothing
else. We could, afford to watch and
wait, confident that, even on that
ground, Congress would como off
best, but meanwhile applauding tho
pluck of its indomitable adversary.
Unfortunately, mor?is at st uko than
the prowess of tho President or the ?
Sower of Congress, Though Mr.
ohnson wages battle in his own name,
the peoplo of ten States aro tho vic?
tims of his rashness. Whatever plea?
sure ho may derive from tho main?
tenance of a tone of defiance, on their
heads tho storm he provokes must
eventually falL lu this respect, tho
South has had, and to this hour has,
no worse enemy than tho President,
who uever loses a chance of quarrel?
ing iu its behalf. At one moment,
inspiring them with falso hopes, at
another, ho is the means of inflicting
upon thom the deepest humiliation.
But for Mr. Johnson, tho South had
not been deceived into the rejection
of the constitutional amendmout.
But for him, there had been no occa?
sion for an extra session, or the legis?
lation which forms the subject of his
latest voto.
In its matter, tho message we print
this morning is a repetition of a
thrice-told tale. It is a thread-baro
argument against the policy of Con?
gress in regard to reconstruction.
The assumption underlying the whole,
that the existing State organizations
aro illegal-the anomalies and incon?
sistencies of legislation during and
since thc war-tho unconstitution?
ality of investing military oiliecrs
with supremo authority, and of strip?
ping tho Exocutivo of functions with
which it was specifically endowed
and lastly, the harshness of the des?
potism temporarily established over
the Southern people; these are the
points successively presented, as they
have been again and again, from tho
samo source, within the last few
months. But of what avail is all
this? Of what use is it to appeal at
every step to a Constitution which
hns no binding force or efficacy in the
exigency which Congress is required
to meet? What can possibly be gained
by a reiteration of an argumont which
circumstances growing out o? tho re?
bellion render inapplicable, or hy
appeals which tho country has pro?
nounced inadmissible? At first, un?
questionably, the argument looked
strong; assuming its premises to be
correct, its conclusions appeared logi?
cal and just. Now, that its novelty
lins gone, however, the effort is uo
lo nger worth the making. As an ar?
gument, it is untenable-made so in
part by the President's own acts. As
au expression of hostility to Con?
gres?.', it has proved ineffectual, and
now iuds to command oither attention
or res-poet from the conntiy.
MCJT ?'< 'O - A PltOTiiCTO?ATE. -Tl 1 o
New Yuri: World favors au American
protectorate for Mexico-but not
now--and for these reasons:
We can well alford for tho present
to let Mexico entirely ahme. Tin;
United States Government will In
more imposing as a missionary abroad
when it lias shown itself capable of
ministering to and healing existing
evils within its own boundaries. Tho ?
Mexicans disdain our influence; let
us see how long they can do without
it. T,huy talk independently at this
erisis; but liiey aro bankrupt and
needy. Whero uro they to get aid?
Not from Europe, certainly, alter j
what has occurred; aud surely not
from any South Amoricau State.
They are threatened, too, with fur- .
thor complications with European
powers. Difficulties ar? certain to
thickeu around them, and the blind,
insulting course which they havo al-1
ways pursued in their diplomacy will
probably hasten another crisis. We
have thus a prospect for hoing sued
for tho very sympathy and assistance '
that, if offered now, might be thrust
back in our teeth with scorn. We
shall then have an opportunity to in?
tervene in Mexican affairs to some
purpose. We shall then be in a po?
sition to demand rights for the United
States Government, and security for
American citizens and their interests,
an Mexico, in exchauge for loans and
alliance that the Mexican people will
at least bo forced to accept. We shall
then have taken, in a manner befit?
ting our dignity as a nation, the first
inevitable step toward the establish?
ment of a protectorate, which, by
euubling us to iufuso a leaven of
American industry and enterprise into
a country whoso soil hungers and
thirsts for 'both, will finally give tis
the control of that country, unques?
tioned.
A fight lately occurred at a circus
at Marietta, Pa., between a showman
and a citizen, ia which tho latter was
shot. Auother citizon then struck
tho murderer a fatal blow on his
head with tho butt of a gun, which
at tho Bara? instant was discharged,
and killed the man who held it.
ST ABTUN o, np TBUK.-We give the
following, which purports to bea de?
spatch from Havana, via Now Or?
leans, fox what it is worth. We think
that is not mach:
When at Vera Cm z, Santa Anna
held two interviews with Generals
Tr hondo and Perez Gomez, of a
somewhat confidential -character.
' It is positively asserted by persons
who saw and read tho document,' that
at one of tho interviews, Santa Anna
informed the Imperial authorities
that ho returned to Mexico with tho
concurrence of the United States,
and ho exhibited a written document,
I covering three foolscap pages, signed
by President Johnson ami Secretary
I Seward, and bearing their official
j seals, to the following effect: "That
if Santa Anna would return to Mexi?
co and establish himself as President
and Dictator, the United States would
recognize him as tho constitutional
hoad of the Government, furnish
bim with loans to tho amount of
$200,000 per mo'?th, aud whatever
arme and munitions of war ho might
require, in addition to granting him
permissicu to recruit troops in tho
United States."
My informants, iu answer to tho
inquiry whether the said document
might bo a forgery, declared emphat?
ically of their knowledge that it was
genuine.
-
GEN. GRANT AND THE PRESIDENCY.
"Mack," of tho Cincinnati Commer?
cial, in his letter from Washington,
on tho 11th iustaut, thus gives Gen.
Grant's notious about his owu occu?
pancy of tho Presidential chair:
A good deal has been said about
Grant's political opinions, bat I think
it would puzzle nuy ono to point to
an authorized expression ol' them.
He no longer conceals the fact that
ho wants to be President-or as he
says it, that be "would like to bo Pre?
sident some time or other. Speaking
to a friend, tho other day. he said, if
ho were suro of it ten years hence,
ho would rather wait. "As it i.s."
said he, "if I am elected now, 1 will
be an ex-President while I am a yoting
man. My present position suits mc,
and pays mo liberally-nearly $20,
000 a year. I can't bo President moro
than eight years, probably not moro
than four, and, at the cud of that
time, I'll bo out of office, with no?
thing to do, and no private fortune
to live on." But a bird in tho baud
is worth two in tho busily and Ulysses
is moro willing to be President in '69
than to tako the cban jo ten or twelve
years hence.
PROSPECTS OF TIIE COTTON CHOP.
From intelligent sources wo have
learned that with a good season and
good luck to the last nicking, our
Southern cotton crop of this j'car's
planting will probably amount to
2,000,000 bales. Prom recent ad?
vices, however, we are sorry to say
that the prospect for a good general
crop is not encouraging. The lute
Hoods in North and South Carolina
have done considerable damage to
tim tender plant just making what
they call "a good stand." In tho
next place, the planters, from Nortli
Carolina to Texas, complain of tho
want of that careful ploughing, hoe?
ing and clcauing out of tko weeds
which are indispensable to a vigorous
growth of the cotton, but which can?
not bo procured from tho freedmen,
who will uot, oven when most urgent?
ly needed, do tho day's work required;
and, lastly, in the productivo regions |
of tho South-west wo aro told that
the cotton fields not drowned out*by
recent lloods have beeu eaten out by
tho terrible army worm. Against nil
these drawbacks, if not largely ex?
aggerated, we must give up our cal?
culations of a good Southern colton
crop this year; but still, with a fair
margin for the croakers, considering
the breadth of land planted, il will
have proved a bad season indeed if
it fails to give a return of less than
2,000,000 bales.

As a good many inquiries have
boen made relative to tho distribu?
tion of prizes in tho entertainment
for the benefit of the Ladies' Associa?
tion for the relief of the destitute in
the South, we publish the following
note from tho acting secretary of the
association. There are still a few
tickets on hand, which can be had on
application at the Phonix office:
29G 5TH AVENUE, NEW YORK,
July 20, 1867.
* * Owing to tho unprecedented
sale of tickets, wo hopo to close our
entertainment on tho 1st of August.
If, however, tho tickets are not all
sold one wcok prior to the close, it
must be postponed until they are
sold, which would cause a few weeks
delay. California has done well. Tho
President of the I 'anama Steamship
Company (also President of Wells,
Fargo & Co's Express) has ordered
25,000 tickets, and in this way re?
lieved the managers of quito a num?
ber.
Our distribution will take place at
Ford's Theatre, Washington, D. C.,
aud twelve gentlemen from our ho?
norary members will take tho control
of tho two wheels, one for unmcs and
tho other for numbers. The first
drawn number takes the highest
prize, and, of course, the first name

winner.

Raymond's Heroine. A Novel. New
\ork: Harper A Brothers.
This novel conies to tho reader
without the prejudice of au author's
name, or even a nom de plume. It is
No. 292 of Harper's popular series of
novels. The sceno is in tho Northern
part of England, and tho characters
of all grades, from the iguorant poor
up to the formal and haughty Lndy
Fitz John. Love is, of course, tho
theme, money the machinery, and
fraud, rustie courtship, aristocracy,
poor pride, flunkey ism, a mesalliance,
woman's nobility and tho triumph of
truth-these are some of the inci
ileuts that move through the good
sized volume, with spirit nud pith
that remind one sometimes of Jaue
Eyre and those man-women books
that made such a sensation in their
ilay. At Duffie & Chapman's; sells
nt fifty cents.
At the request of an old citizen-a
lady-of Columbia, we publish tho
following communication, relativo to
a movement which, wc hope, will
provo of advantago to the unfortunate
class for whoso benefit it waa inau?
gurated:
MESSRS. EDITORS: Eight or nine
months ngo, tho state of our commu?
nity was in such a sad condition that
a number of ladies felt inclined to
make au effort to put a stop to thc
frequency of street begging. Antici?
pating from tho scarcity of food
there might l o suffering and death,
but there has boon so much sympathy
manifested from benevolent hearts al
a distance, and supplies from al
quarters of the country, thcro has
not been tho suffering we anticipated
and si nco the harvest of blackberrici
has sot in (for this is the harvest sea
son of that class.) But it will no
last, and tho season of want will se
in. Now, our object is to encourngi
them to go to a place specified, t<
leam to do such work us will sui
thoi.- condition, and giro them also ;
knowledge of books, rather thai
dragging about, begging a little hori
and there. Now, what we wont is ti
get the help of tho community to ns
s\st us in getting a daily diuner o
soup and vegetables for those win
may put themselves in tho way of rc
ceiving the benefit that may bo dc
rived from so doiug. "Wo havo beei
keeping it up on a limited scale, bu
the class that it was intended tj nf
sist, has boen deterred, either by th
sale of tho berries or an unwillingnea
to undertake tho work. The idea c
some was, that moro would appl
than wo could feed; the coso has bee
otherwise. We have invariably ha
rqoro victuals prepared than we ha
consumers.
As our object is to confine our ir
struetion to young females in work c
books, it is our wish tc proem
books for tho uso of those who hav
none; it is also our wish to procure
stove, and a loom for weaving. Th
Indies, too, wish to nco such a sehot
established, und havo promised thei
aid and co-operation when calle
upon.

During a recent visit to Charleston,
we had the pleasure of nieeting a ve
neratcd and venerable gentleman, who
formerly officiated as priest in St.
Peter's Church, in this city. Wo fi?
ludo to tho Rev. Father Birmingham.
Although lame and ill for several
years, we aro much pleased in being
able to state that ho has entirely reco?
vered his health, and walks as erect
os ho did when, thirty years ago, tho
writer of this paragraph used to clam?
ber over tho paling enclosure of
tho church aud grounds, to visit hie
old friend, and stroll with him among
"tho dead men's homes," listening
the whilo to kind words of advice.
But we very much fear that the good
seed thus carly planted hnvoproduced
but indifferent fruit; at least, so thc
reverend father imagined, as, after fi
long and pleasant chat, ho raised his
cane, expressing the belief that there
would be moro efficacy in that, mode
D? treatment than in words. Mr. Bir
mingham has many frionels in Co
Irimbia-outsido tho palo of thc
pharoh-and he would meet with t
warm welcome, should he pay a viaii
to his former place of abode. Maj
bo live many years in the full eujoy
meut of bis preseut health am
spirits.

?c Co. publish tho following card:
To Messrs. Weai'n, Alexander an
Hunt.
GENTLEMEN: In the Phoenix, r
Tulj* 20, aro several statements whie
ire most respectfully considered toi
mis-statements; and as they, to nf
roar own language, "are calculate
to mislead and convey a false imprei
sion to the public," wo beg lcavo t
jet ourselves right with you and tl
public.
First. You say that our card isca
minted to mislead and convoy a falf
impression. We think you aro mi
mken, and would ask you to plea;
explain yourselves. We made no a
sortions; wo brought no charges; v
nado no complaint; wo only ask<
rou to state to tho public how it w
that, wo had not paid our license. V
?vere ignorant of any oflVnco or vi
ation of the law-wo thought wo h:
;omplied with your lawful ordinanc
iud regulations, but fiuding ourselv
mistaken, wo simply ask for inform
:lou. How could that bo calcul?t
.0 mislead? Were we wroug for wis
ing to be set right? It rather appen
to us as if you wish to produce tl
mpression that we aro attempting
place you in a falso position, and
nj ure yon, when tho fact is, that i
idopted tho only course open for us
hat is, to ask for information.
Second. You say. since tho pi
nulgation of General Order No. <:
he Committee on Licenses hnvo i
piirecl every applicant to exhibit 1
vt urn or receipt from the Unit
States Collector or Assessor, as au ii
>r tavern-keeper. This you give
mo of the reasons why wo wero i
'used-not license, but a renewal
mr license. Allow us to state tl
mr non-compliance with tho regu
iou of tho committeo was not ov. i
,o disrespect of tho committee, 1
o our ignorance, tho result of wro
nformation.
You next f=ay that all applicatif
must be accompanied with tho mom
iud that wo have never complied w
Alis regulation; and yet von adi
ihat we left with tho City Clerk 31
in city coupons. Now, gentleim
?ve did not know that city coupe
no not money; wo did npt know tl
the city had repudiated; it was ne
promulgated that the city bonds a
coupons aro worthless; wo cousidei
them good; wo paid valno iu full
thom, and wo think that you, as i
?ity's agent?, are bound to reco
them. Tho City Clerk took them
tho last x>aymout of city taxes, g;
ns a receipt, and nckuowlcelged
bo indebtcel to us 85.50. You st
that yourselves. What-is tho rea;
that coupons aro not good ne
Why do you now refuse to rece
thom? You say that wo haro
paid, and yet you acknowledge t
tho Clerk has ??150 deposited by nt
bis possession. You call it mon
[f, therefor*', H ia money, and g<
money, why, thc?i, do you
that we hnvo not complioil with v
requirement. Wo think that wo li
complied, according to tho beat
Mir knowledge; wo have never fai
to conduct ourselves as good citize
wo have novor refused to pay
ines to tho city ; we moko it a poiu
bo on tho right sido of the fence;
ire not trespassers, nor new-conn
but old and established citizons, ti
tborcforc, think that wo are as m
mtitled to a renewal of our lice
is other parties whom the commi
recommeniled for licenses. Resp
