The unpromising outlook for a ro.nl, together with llic danger of voting bomls on conditions which arc with-1 out warrant of law, will deter many lrotn voting for them, while a large number of citizens i jire not convinced that the investment would ; be a good one, even if thcToad was an assur- j cd fact. j Kroin the tone of President Haskell's letter j we think it fair to presume that we would , 1 >scour branch road if we should build a new I one. In that event we would have r.o eom-j 1 etitlon, Ibesole moving cause for trying to build a new road. Having failed to reach out our hand r.t the proper time for roads that would have been j jirofitnble, it is now useless for us to incur a heavy debt at a time when our trade and bus-j in ess is threatened with curtailment, and j thus further d< press our property by the issue of bonds for which it is pltdged for tiio pay-' men t.

Gentlemen, this property is donated conditionally and should you accept I wiPulve you papers that will justify you to proceed to work ! at onec. Condi lions: 1st. The eemotary is to be laid ofl" and ai picket fence built around the entire platt, so; that the cemetery may be enclosed. 2nd. That at least one-third of the two: acres be set apart for the poor, who are not j able to buy sections. "' J ' will Im vnopfr-il of fhr> council to pay for survey ins nn?l locating tlic cemetery.

Gentlemen : this needs no comment on niy j part, so I t herefore submit them for your de- j cisloii. I tun respectfully your*. J.\S. CoTTOiAN, .Ik., Agent for the Est. of (.'. II. McCormick. j We think the town of McCormick should .decline the offer with thanks. In the first place, with the present lights before us, new and progressive townsshould not locate tlicir ccmclerics too near to the popu-J loll* seciioi s. Sanitary or health reasons \vi!j suggest the Impropriety of burying the dead j in the ne'ghboiliood of the wells which are to) supply wr.ter to the people of the town. In the next place, the gift is one of small j pecuniary value, and Is coupled with conditions which. It would scein to us, would; prompt the peoplo of McCormick to decline! the gift. The lot Is given on condition thatj the town shc.ll give one-third of It to the poor,; ami with 1 lie further stipulation that the! whole shall be enclosed with a fence of a de-i tcribed character, and the lands shall be kept In a prescribed manner. We fuliy agree with Mr. Cothran when he snys: "This needs no comment on his part." 1 It needs no comment. A prompt refusal is xill that is needed. The Election nnd the ItPKhh'rcd Yot m.

That i>?uo was Hie '"irrepressible negro "?nestio'.i.'' The lilshop had included In ins l.st of eleruy two colored presbyters <'. II. l'.i>"'!0|> and T. (i. Harper.one from the I ioee-t: ot Maryland, the other from New York. 'J lie I'cv. H. I!is:u;p is the assistant minister at st. Mark's colored congregation. The ltcv. T. (?. Harper is the assistant minister of the St. I.ultc's congregation, Columbia. Their presence on the t|nor of the Convention was a surprise to a great majority ot the laity and many of the clergy, and it unexpectedly raised the color <)iies!ioii in the Convention. C insinuation of tiie lSishop's list would have settled the title of colored pres'iyters to seats in the t 'onventioii. It was evident that a vote by orders?that is. a vote of the clergy by themselves and the laity by tlr*in)>. a m.ijorily or t lie eiercy, ami i n >? the liily, to ( ( veal a vole by ordeis on the approval of the lli-hop's list. The fir>t (lay was taken up by this preliminary skirmish. The next day "to bring, up the question directly, Mr. l!ciict withdrew his call to vote by orders and oiler.".! a resolution to amend ilie l!i>hop's li*t by striking out the names of I ii shop and I larpcr.and refer ton committee of live?two clergymen and three laymen?to report at next convention on the legal ami constitutional right of other than white delegate s to lie admit!) <1 to the liiocesiin ('nil ventlon. This brought on a hot debate in which the Sending clergymen and laymen on both sides tool; part. Mr. I tenet's argument was thai, the con*tIlutlon of the IMoscsc did not confer upon colored men the right to seats in tiieO-n vention. lie argued that- before a negro clergyman could take his seat tn this Convention this lJioccsc should amend its conslitntion by defining that the word "clergyman" therein contained included the negro, lust as had been done by Congrcssand the t'nitod StalesJ Supreme Court in eonstrueling the word oil-' i/.en as c mtained In the t'niied Stales t'on>titution. The fact that the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments had to lie passed bi.fore the negro could vote and hold olHec was a stronger argutnenl than any he cotihl adduce in behalf of an amendment to the Constitution of the DioecKeasto the meaning of the word "elerjyinan." Chief Justice Taney h id decided that tiie word "citizen" in tliaj Constitution did not include the negro, and Ciiief Justice Waite h-id deciiled that "citizen" dil not include women, although women and negroes are in some respects citizens. It had been held in the United States Court ill-it the term "public enemy," in tin indict- ! incut charging a man in Cincinnati with high treason in'giving aid and comfort to the Confederacy, was erroneous, and that it meant only a foreign enemy. Arguing by analogy; - ... t...i??..?,.>??.T ??n|f| niitv bear uiai uiv ?I'm ... a construction contemporaneous with its in- j section in Hie Constitution of the Diocese, and when ti:c Constitution was adopted in is7">, witliotit changing Article:i, tin* meaning it had previously conveyed was still its just interpretation. Mr. J.vnct quoted tiic iired Scott decision in l'.i'.h Ilowaid, Minor vs. Hat-! terset. .'! Wallace, and the Cincinnati case. Mr. 15enet said that tlie Salter* case was an exceptional one, and that he had only been allowed a seat in ttie Convention on the understanding that lie should limit his ministrations to St. Mark's. Several nmctidmenIs were offered in tlie interest of both sides, and wete lost by non-j cojicus rencc of orders. Whenever the advocates of the admission of the colotcd presbyters advanced any measure affirmatively, tho opponents prevented its adoption by non-eon-1 currency ot orders; and vicc versa. Tho main i resolution advanced by tho opponents failed! by non-concurrence. A motion by a eiercrytnan to confirm the report of the committee on the itlshop's list shared thes-.ime fate. The whole of Thursday and Friday were consumed in ihe unavailing effort to accomplish anything, one way or the other. Tho 15:shop| was heartily in sympathy with those who ruivocrtted the seating of the colored minis* ters, and manifested that sympathy plainly in Ills rulings as c'.iairman, mid Ids remarks, lie claimcd Hint lie had the constitutional j right to Insert more names In his list of the | elerry,an! that by thai Insertion they had presumptive titles to their seats, which title, | tie claimed, the Convention could not call In qt.estion. This claim was denied, and all that was asked by the supporters ot Mr. Bend's, resolution was thai the Bishop and clergy should not prejudge the case by iutrodiicins those colored tii'-n into tiie 0 invention before tl.eir rights had been adjudicated; and that the consideration of the question ! should be referred to a'committee. Tln*y also contend) d that until the lhshop's list of the elwy wns passed upon by the Convention's I vote on the committee's report, the Convention could not be organized. The Bishop | ruled that the Convention was duly organized. I All that can be said, after three daj's debate K that by the failure of the contending orders to concur, the Bishop's list was not conflrme l, the right of the colored presbyters was not voted on, and the Convention was not duly organized. In fact, nothing was done but to leave this vexed question to come up Kt the next Convention, which meets next May in Charleston. The following protest signed by the supporters of Mr. Benet's rnsolutionss, explains itself.and will be interesting. It contains the names of twenty-nine laymen and six clergymen : Mr. T. M. Ilanekel also submitted for himself a protest. Both these papers follow: 1 III'. i r. ur -<<> in To I Ik.1 J'rcxidrnt mul Members of the. Co,-pom- j tion of llir Protestant Lpiscpnl Church of the I Itiocesi of South Citroliiw : The undersigned members of this convention. for themselves and in behalf of tlio Parishes which they may represent, do most respectfully but earnestly protest against the action of this convention in refusing to con shier a motion to adopt t tic report of the committee on the credentials of ttie clergy, as an- j parliamentary and illegal, and as drawing into nuestion tin, very organization of the convention itself.. And they do further most respectfully and earnestly protest against the position which lias been announced by the President and acted upon practically by the convention, that by virtue of their names being on the Bishop'slist, and reported upon by the committee, certain persons who have been admitted to holy orders, to wit: Messrs. IT. C. Bishop and Thomas G. Harper, are entitled to and do occupy seats in tho convention. And they do farther most respectfully and earnestly protest against the action of this convention in allii'min;; that under our cunstitullon and laws persons of color and not belonging to the white race are entitled to seats in the convention and participation in the government of the church in this diocese; whereas it is respectfully submitted by these protectants that such an innovation on the government of the church can and should be effected only by the convention of the church, expressed uue juivocully at a Convention, aftee a full, fair, calm and deliberate discussion of the question on the merits.

The People's mill First National Hindis of Charleston Charters will Kxpire this Year, hut will l'robnbly be lleneweil - - - Wlmt Dr. Siinomls snj-s about the Onuses of Financial Depression. A'...... .....I The charters of the First National Bank and the People's National Hank will expire this year. Some interest Is felt us to what will be r>. The bank started with a capital of SJOO.OOO, which was increased at various times until at one time It was ?1,1)00,1X10. It was subsequently reduced to ?7."i0,000 uiul then toS">.iO,000, at which latter sum It now remains. The bunk has declared two stock dividends, one of iO and one of 10 per cent., and since Its organization H has paid out in dividends $1,1 is surplus fund at tills date Is 5150,000. The intentions of the present stockholders are not known, but (he general impression is that the bank w ill continue business under u renewal of its charter. The First National liank was organized November 20, lSttt, with the following otlicers: President, Andrew Siinonds; directors, Geo. \V. Williams, W. I-. Trcnliolm, K. W. Marshall, M. C. Mordecal, David Jennings and Archibald (Jetty. Tho bank charter was granted in Washington on l>ecember 11, 1*05, with a nominal capital of ?200,000, but with a paid in capital of Sloo.ooo. This was increased at various times to S5'H),000, and then reduced to 5250,000, making an average capital of about S.:ihi,ikii, on which dividends to the amount of s7-Vi,ouo, mid taxes and expenses of about Sl'iO,000, have been paid, the bank retaining about Si'iO.Oiii)surplus (including the premium oil Its L'liited Stales bonds)to meet contingencies on December 11, 1SK5. "l)o you think the charter will be renewed ?" the Reporter asked Dr. Andrew .Siinonds, from whom this in formation was reeei ve lace this double problem to make ami to keep. Kvery Investor knows tlie ditllcuity of Hading stocks which will pay a fair rale nml be at the same time safe. "We have to encounter two existing cau?cs of depression, thedeslruction of capital and the loss of business. Hundreds of millions of dollars have been lost In stock investments, n( least one-fourth of which were Rambling or fraudulent. Investors will now scrutinize closely before plunging Into the unknown seas of hazard. Therefore, I think it safe to sny that our shareholders will gladly avail themselves of the privilege of continuing an I Investment which is both-safe and profitable. Kut If not, there are others readyuud eager to take their places. All the capital stands ready without notice to till any vacancies.; The First National Hank will live wheu its present managers htvVe passed away." The reported robbery case mentioned In the Ilrjmrtcr turns out to be the hallucination of a drunken tramp, lie. it seems, had made a j tire In the woods and had set them on tire.; Mr. John Neel and some others went to him j and ordered hint to move on, when he gave' them some sass and they gave him a drubbing, and from tills ho manufactured his robbery story. It is not reasonable to suppose that a I man wilii as- much money as he claimed to] have hod would have bv " r ff\ f ? PARTISAN POSTMASTERS.! . | THE WAY m WHIOT THEY AEE TO BE TURHrD OUT.

I shall be? you, therefore, to consider the snajresilons 1 make as to tho methods of procedure.. and If yon can adopt them and pet sonm cases ' ' ? lilitn ftin ncTt (wu nr three weeks I think within the month of May I can give substantial re| lief tli.it will take away the importunity nnr the applicant, and atso of bis ] habits and standing In the community. It would be Well to Hie evidence showing that lie will be satisfactory to the community, and when there are various condldutes, I shall be ob'lged by any explanation which tho Representative en give. This nec-'S* trlly impose a little trouble, and yet not very grent, but It seems to me reasonable to require very extraordinary care and troublo enough to be taken to r.-pr< sent mrcly the facts. The earliest removals and tp|?ilnttnents of this kind will chn'tenve tlic keenest scrutiny. The former must be justiflible and the latter beyond cilticism. Some mistakes have perhaps occurred, and our adversaries are keenly interested to make the most of every fault, because tin v have prrci lvcil n strong current of genetr.l approbation of the purposes of the Admlniotration. In rendering tills justice to our people, which concists of the removals of enemies nnd subs'ftution of our friends, ( feel that it is very desirable to proceed with extreme care, and that I tun correctly representing the President's wishes and purposes In earnestly soliciting that every step may be taken accordingly. I inn v mid t hut as the common good Is infinitely beyond tho welfare of any one person, however great his place, so appointments, to further a mere per-onal en t should bo absolutely forbidden, and recomclida-' tions tit o:i that bas-is may well expect dls'avor. I shall very willingly take up the ease of ony dis?' nr.f C.ionte ivliencv, r lliev airu roadv. and I .-hull bo jrhd if the Ki-presentjitivo can personally aUei.d ami go over tbcin. Pupers idiould lie sent In lusimli dji jMMSIIde, ni.tl will be then carefully briefed in the department; nnd when so made ready appointments ran he iiihiIo with crent ropldllv. f-lmtiM you think it desirable to liave a personal conference bt-fore Ibis is begun, I sbull be Very glnd to meet the delegation. Hut as L have felt it doslrable'to relieve them of unnecessary journeying nnd expense, I have written a elmil.tr letter to each llcprefentative from Ohio, and resjn-ctful.y solicited rest??nsive action in uccordanco with tho spirit of It. \ err truly yours, W'm. F. Vilas, Postmaster-General. MuJ. .llor^iui. Editor Press and Manner: Tito press ol Lliti Htnte and country hove very Justly criticised the appointment by a rvnioeratic President of n J'.lnlnltc Consul General to Austrnliii. Numbers have Inquired. mIio Is tho appolnt.ie? Xo one litis answered Hie Inquiry satisfactorily. I do not know that I can, but I propose to publish by your consent, a lew facts concerning him, and h's political Icr gl vcrsntlons. MaJ. Morgan, as lie was known to his associates (lin lim his short sojourn In this state, was generally accorded citl/.etilshlp In Louisiana, though I have thought hini a cosmopolitan. A brother, hailing froutn Louisiana, was the Kepublican Minister to Mexico under Mr. Arthur. And a biother-ln-law. Cieti. Drum, has been for some years the AdjutantGeneral of the army of tho United Slates, reshlent In Washington, I>. C!. Another brother In-law Is the editor la chief or the Xcics and Courier. MaJ. Morgan married a wife in South Carolina, and for two or three ycirs farmed below Columbia, supplying that innr!rr>t. with Mr-nns-crass hav. seven tons of which he loltl mo once lie had cut from one acre In a single season. He soon abandoned farming, however, and South Carolina also, anil for thn past few years liis face has been a familiar one to the residents or WnuWington city. During the lute presidential campaign lie whs quite active, and afier Mr. Blaine's nomination published a small pamphlet, the title pa?;e of which reads, "Amcrie-i'x Ju/.i/pt. Mr. Jl'.dine* Forciffn I'olicy, by James Munis Mnrii'iii, late of the CoH/iiterulu States Xavy and the Kgmtian unity. In Mils pamphlet MaJ. Morgan declares In the outset, that Me. lllniue's foreign policy was and Is one that would redound lo the glory of the United States, anil that when Mr. Hlalne entered President Garlic-Id's (.' iblnel ho resolved upon three Ideas: First, to uphold, at any and all costs, the Monroe Doctiine. j-iecond, to hold Mexico and the South American Republics responsible f01 thorn Africa but Morocco, which seems lobe in a fairway of Joining her sisters in captivity. To-day, France Is attempting to build a canal across the Isthmus of Tana ma, with a view doubtless ot ultimately controlling ttie Central American Stales. Mr. Illaine said, we have a Monroe Doctrine which forbids transAtlantic Nations from intermeddling in ttie nllalrs of tiieso els-Atlantic people. The Clayton-Anlwcr treaty of 1830 between the United Slates and Great llrlilan practically conceded to tlie lutior power control 01 any canal to be dug across tills Isthmus. Nubsequciuly Lhc United Slates entered Into a treaty with the Columbian Republic, conceding to the United .States similar control. Mr. Blaine. thetefote, abrogated the provision of former treaty, and said to all European powers?hands oir, wo are the masters on this continent.: times have changed: your ClaytonBttlwcr treaty Is out of date." ;ypt." Jlc then draws a parallel between Egypt and Mexico, eiting that the two country's are almost Identical in every respect. The minarets and domes, the street dogs and water carriers, the adobe huts of the poor and the stone houses nf tiiA rich, the snortlvc bet merciless and in satiate Utile Jlcn, the ragged beggers nntl carl hern Clods, arc nil as familiar to the Mexican hs to the Egyptian traveller, l!ut.|i these races are indolent ami docile, and posses great powers of endurunee beucntU the burning siin. Tnc Mexican poen Is the Egyptian fellah. In both countries the women veil their faces, the Mexican peeping from beneath with one i black eye while the Egyptian risks two, much I to the envy of their watchful and Jealous ' parents, brothers and kinsmen. The robber IJedouin of the Sahara is tlie robber Bandit of the Sierras. Egyption Agriculture is Mexican, both people plowing oxen yoked by the horns, and using the plow that has comc down from the times of Abraham. Chastity lias no place with either race, because neither the Egyptian nor the Mexican believes In the virtue of woman. The rich have their duennas, while the poor man put his wile to work, while he lies In the grass near by to watch her. "IJoukru" in Egyptian means "Mamma" In Mexican, and both mean "to-morrow," j Implying that the national motto ol each is, I "never do to-day what can be put oil' till toI morrow." The two governments are very similar: Egypt is called a despotism and Mexico a republic: neither understand* tiie mean Ingot free government. The Despot in Egypt Is called a Viceroy or Khedive: the Despot of Mexico Is called a l'resident or General. MnJ. Morgan next comments npon our foreign policy In these latter years, and says, wc are getting so polite that we never raise our voices above a whisper when we remonstrate against outrages practised upon our citizens by foreign nations.
