New York Nation, Apri1 20, The withdrawal of Mr. Chamberlain from the contest {u South Carolina immediately after tho disappearance of tho- troops from the Slate- Iousc probably marks the close of the revolu- tionary period in Bouthern polhuics, fnasmuch as 1t Is oll but certain that Packard in Loulsiana will, befurs many days, have Lo follow his cx- ample. Most of the papers which support the Administration aresomuch relleved, bowever, by his taking himself off without giving further trouble that they are ready to ruward him by a general eulogy on his political earcer tn South Carolina. Wo are fully awaro of the difilcultica e has had to contend with, and have no doubt that he made at one time an houest effort to roducs & good fu'emment in that Btate; l:m. tha vause of good gevernment every- where tequires that many qualifications and deductions should ® bo “mado [ culogiz- ing cven him, the beat af the c.:rpcl.-bnfigcu‘— for such wo fully acknowledge hiin to be. We ara asked, however, to judge him not as a car- t-hagger simply, but as' a politician worthy of he highest rating anywhere, Looking at thim from this point of view, ho sugzests a good many obscryations which ga to the root of the whols question of carpet-haggery, sud which we shali take the }berty of n ng. In the first place, It must be sald that it 1a tmpossible to avaid thy concluslon that a ¥ of the highest sclf-reapect and sense of political Bonor cauld bardly at any timo siuce 1868 have brcome what s ‘called "s carpct-bagger fn a 8outhiern Statc, as distineulshicd from & sciticr, Within three years after the close of the War it hiad becowne very plaln that the sutfrugo which had been securcd for the nexro asa weapon of defense was likely to converted, in his honds, into a means of at- tacking clvillzation iteell by placog the rojesty and guvernmental machinery of tha ulu at the morey of an utterly ficnorant wnd propertyleas class of the population, The Cone ventlon of 1888, wnich drew up the Constitution ol Bouth Carolina, was composcd of scventy- two negroes and forty-nine white moen, sud of tho scveuty-two negrocs only thirteen pald taxes: snd yet the Convention dirccted 8 tax- levy of $3,230,850, smounting to a rate of per cent. The character of the Convention mave fair warning as to the character of the Govern- ment which would be “orgenized under it. - In thu Legislature of 1840 there wore twelve black and twenty white Senators; eight of the twelvo Llacks pald no taxes, In the ifuyse, there were elehiy-s{x Llack and thirty-seven shite mem- s, aud sixty-clebt of the blacks pald no_taxes, Afterwards, thlugs got wonse aod worse 2 the carjict-baggers learned thels trado more thoroughly, and the negroes, under thelr guidauce, becams more conscious of thelr power, Iu 18i0 the tazlevy was £2,305,047, or more than the whole amount Tevled on doable the valustion for tha five years before the War. 1n 1500 South Carolina, in the leight of he pnurcr(u‘. paid for otlives and salarles $124,800 fn 1871, in the depths of run, sho pald for these same obiccts $331.840. lu two years, 1890~'71, $1,208,577 were pald out, for which uo vouchers were ever found.

Minister Washburne and the Grateful German Gov~ ernment, BECRETARY TIIOMPSON, WIIAT HE IS DOING IN TIE NAVY DECARTMENT. Spectal Dispasch to The Tridune, WasniNeToN, D. C., April 22.—Sceretary Thompson Is devoting bis entire time, even ex- tending his labors far Into the night, to a most thorough fnvestization of the business of the Navy Department, with the fntention of thoroughly famfliarizing himself with it before thomecting of Congress, in order that he may explaln to that body any matier concernlng which it may ask information. It may besaid that, In spitc of the rcports to the contrary which have been freely circulated lately, ho hea 28 yet discovered no evidences of dishonesty in the administration of his predecessor, but he docs find that a system of conducting the business of the Departmont different from that which bo will pursue, aud from that which he belicves the law authorizes, was preva- lent under the last administration. He found large contracts in exlatence for which he was unable to discover any authority in law, and the exccutlon of which he PEREMPTORILT ORDERED TO DE STOPPAD. Becretary Thompson has determined that not acent of futuro appropriations shall be antfcl- pated during the present year. Ilc belleves that it {s the duty and privilege of Congreas, under the Conatitution and laws, to determine how much money shall be spent Ly any Depart- ment of the Government, and for what pur ?fl" 1t _shall be used, and that it is not proper or the Becretary of the Navy to controvert the low of Congress in any way. ~ He will, therefore, confine each Bureau of his Department to the appropriations actually made for It, nud, when theae are expended, will suspend work until money is provided, and he will prevent the temporary transfer of money from one burcau to another, or the making of contracts to be pald for out of futurc appropriations. 1t isSecretary Thompson's purposn TO DALANCE THX DOOKS of the Navy Department on the 80th of June; to Legln aliew at that time with the appropria- tions for the new fiscal year unlvuche(r; and to conduct every bradch of” its business on strivtly business principles.
