Tag New York Times says: "The rols
of the colored parsons in polities in South
Carolina appears to be, aooording to their

But in Louisiana the Federal officials

are they going to do with that Uadionl

It la stated that the reports of the

and the money departments were pur

to effect this object would be by the

We are indebted to Gunby Jordan for
a copy of the Allegany County Reporter,
published at Wellsvllle, N, Y. It con
tains letters from several New Yorkers
lately settled in Madison oounty, Ga., to
0. H. Bimmons, Esq., on whose lands in
this State they appear to have settled.
They all apeak in high terms of the land*,
tbo climate, and the people, and express
their entire satisfaction with their change
of residence. We hope that the aooounts
which they have sent back will have a
good effeet In inducing other good North
ern men to remove to Georgia. The Re
porter is a Republican paper; so we may
hope that the acoounts whioh these North,
ern immigrants give of the peaceable
and friendly character of the oilixena.of
Georgia will be circulated "where they
will do the most good-” We make an ex
tract of a letter from Fred Lyons to Mr.
Bimmons:
My impressions on arriving here were
favorable. Osn say have not had any
reason to change the same. All aetma to
he alive here. I cannot help but think of
the difference in the weather hore and at
the North. When I left it was cold,
chilly weather, and one to ride needed on
plenty of wraps aad then oould hardly be
comfortable. Here wo found tho climate
lovely indeed, although it was the middle
of November, it seemed like September
weather at the North. The air seemed
purer and fresher, one can breathe so
much easier it seems. I also like the
wator very much. Have been nearly
all over the plantation, and should
think it a No. 1 place, and by
those that have known it for a longer
time than I have, it is pronounced one
of the vary beat for small grains, suoh
as winter wheat, oats, rye, Ac., all of
which are looking well, and as you oan
raise all these here, it seems ns though a
man oonld make a living if he has a dls-

kind, br *‘ 'omoasible that a “° a " < * t u tJ **

ent. It does not eeetii VrSAttisnassMaMsRroroavwNWttEnas^jre must deohne as at
few pious Congressmen, as well an able
editors, may have been ‘in to rusted.’ ”
Notwitbstamdiho the faot that the
Judiciary Gommittoo of the House of
Representatives has appointed a sub
committee to draft a new Civil Rights
bill, some of the reports from Welling
ton insist that it is the intention of the
Uadioal majority to pass such a bill as
will produce conflicts between the whites
and blaoks of the South, in the belief
that the Republican party of the North
will bo thereby strengthened! Bpeoial
Washington dispatches say that the pres
ent oalm in Congress is only the pre
cursor of a storm; that in Isas than a
wash the Radical party will be pitching
the paaaags of a bill intended to anforoe
social equality in all mattors affected by
Bumner’a bill exoept publio schools and
cemeteries, having ascertained that Gen.
Grant will sign the bill with these modifi
cations ; and that if the execution of the
measure should provoke a war of races at
the South, it will be just what the Radioal
leaders desire: their idea is that this will
save their party.
We still have hope that there is con
eervatlam enough in the Republican party
to refrain from going farther than Mr.
White's reported substitute provides for.
VBURY-AUAIM,
The discussion on this question is eon.
tinued by the press of the State, tho pre.
ponderenoe of opinion being deoidedly
in favor of the existing laws. Of the
Atlanta press, the Constitution and Nets*
are opposed to the ra-enaotment of the
old Usury laws,aud the Ilerald is in favor
of them. Gen. Toombs, Col. Adair and
Mr. J. H. James are most prominent
among the gentlemen not connected with
the prom who have deolared themselves
in favor of usury laws.
The Atlanta correspondent of the Au
gusta Chronicle (who is opposod to the
old laws) instances an argument in favor
of laws limiting the rato of interest,
whioh is common among those who oall
for the re-euactmeut of tho old law. He
reporta a gentleman as saying that five
years ago he borrowed $.">,000, had already
paid $8,000 of the debt, and Btill owed
$10,000 on the same obligation, and re
marked that it had nearly ruined him ;
and he used the fact as an illustration of
the evil operation of the free money
poliey.
This man's* experience is oertaiuly a
bard one. But it is evident that Usury
laws would not have protected him. In
deed, aooording to our recollection tbo
Usury laws were iu foroe five years ago,
but we have no ready reference to deter
mine this. However that may be, it is
apparent that this borrower must have
wanted money so badly that he and the
man who loaned it would have evatled the
law to effeot the transaction—a very ooui-
rnon ooourreuoe, as everybody knows.
We have made a calculation and find that
he eontraeted to pay over seventy per cent.

Yesterday my wife and myself were in

W. Copeland’s where we bad tho pleasure
of meeting a large number of Northern
ladies and genttemen, and I must say they
were as intelligent a company as one need
wish to meet; many of them were grad
uates of the best colleges and ssmiuaries
of the North. All are contented and have
no desire to try the North again. I met
some from the West, some from New Jer

the Picayune of Tuesday :
Sunday evening Gov. Kellogg sent for
acting chief of polios Leoleru, to whom
he unfolded his ideas of coming avents,
and informed him of the necessity of the
poliee msking a final stand. Leclerc felt
donbtful of the fighting material, but in
accordance with Kellogg's orders, he tele
graphed to all the polioe captains of the
oily to meet him at the office on Caron-
delet street. The captains, accordingly,
flat, and on being informed that Kellogg
biahed to prepare for battle, they contu
maciously assorted that they would fight
no more against the oitisens. Kellogg
wishen to be informed of the number of
men under eaob captain who might be re
lied opon in the event of a fight; bat his
spirits must have sunk within him on re-
oeivtng the information that not one
wonld handle a gun for him. Several of
the offioers of police, on the oontrary, as
serted that if any of their men should
again harness themselves for tho fight in
the interest of Kellogg, or declare their
intention beforohandof doing so, they
wonld make it as disagreeable for them
as possible in the meantime.
